[0004] When using the electric hot pot, some of the soup or water in the pot may flow into the outer pot, causing water accumulation. For example, if the user does not wipe the outer side of the pot dry, the water on the outer side of the pot may flow into the pot body, or the overflowing soup during cooking may flow into the outer pot. Water accumulation in the outer pot may cause a short circuit, resulting in a fire accident or causing the electric hot pot to malfunction. Summary of the invention

[0005] Based on this, it is necessary to provide a cooking utensil to address the above problems.

[0006] A cooking appliance, comprising:

[0007] A base having an installation cavity formed therein and a water outlet communicating with the installation cavity formed on the base;

[0008] An outer pot is matched in the installation cavity, and a drainage hole is formed through the bottom wall of the outer pot;

[0009] A drainage member having a first end and a second end arranged opposite to each other, and a drainage channel is formed in the drainage member, and the first end and the second end are respectively provided with a water inlet and a drain outlet connected to the drainage channel; the first end is riveted to the outer pot by a riveting process, and the water inlet is connected to the drainage hole; the second end is spaced from the bottom wall of the installation cavity, and the drain outlet is connected to the installation cavity.

[0010] With this design, the drainage component can direct the soup or water in the outer pot directly to the inner wall of the installation cavity to prevent the soup or water from contacting the wires installed in the installation space, thereby reducing the probability of circuit short circuit and effectively improving the safety performance of the product.

[0011] In one embodiment, an installation space for installing electric wires is formed between the outer wall of the outer pot and the inner wall of the installation cavity; a first preset distance is spaced between the second end and the bottom wall of the installation cavity, and a second preset distance is spaced between the electric wires installed in the installation space and the bottom wall of the installation cavity, and the first preset distance is smaller than the second preset distance.

[0012] With such a design, the drain outlet opened on the second end can avoid the electrical wires and can directly guide the soup or water in the outer pot to the inner wall of the installation cavity to prevent the soup or water from contacting the electrical wires installed in the installation space, thereby reducing the probability of circuit short circuit and effectively improving the safety performance of the product.

[0013] In one of the embodiments, the bottom wall of the outer pot is recessed outward to form a water collecting trough, and the drainage hole is formed through the bottom wall of the water collecting trough.

[0014] With such a design, when there is too much soup or water in the outer pot and it exceeds the drainage efficiency of the drainage hole, the water collection tank can better accommodate the excess soup or water to reduce the probability of soup or water accumulating and overflowing.

[0015] In one embodiment, the connecting member includes a water guiding part and a connecting part, the water guiding part has the first end and the second end arranged opposite to each other, the connecting part is protrudingly arranged on the peripheral side of the first end, and the connecting part is used to abut and cooperate with the bottom wall of the outer pot; the water guiding part is inserted into the drainage hole, and a drainage channel is formed in the water guiding part, and the first end and the second end are respectively provided with the water inlet and the drainage outlet connected to the drainage channel.

[0016] With such a design, the connection part is in abutment with the bottom wall of the outer pot, so that the drainage piece can be suspended on the bottom wall of the outer pot through the support of the bottom wall of the outer pot on the connection part. Through the riveting process, the first end of the water guide part is deformed and formed into a deformation part, and the deformation part can cooperate with the connection part to clamp the bottom wall of the outer pot, thereby realizing a stable connection between the drainage piece and the outer pot.

[0017] In one of the embodiments, the hole wall of the drainage hole has a corner; and the outer wall of the water guide portion is adapted to the hole wall of the drainage hole.

[0018] With such a design, the corner formed on the hole wall of the drainage hole can prevent the water guide part from rotating relative to the hole wall of the drainage hole, thereby improving the operational convenience of the riveting process and effectively improving the stability of the connection between the drainage part and the outer pot.

[0019] In one embodiment, the water outlet and the drain outlet are aligned in a direction from the first end to the second end.

[0020] With this design, the soup or water discharged from the drain can be directly discharged to the outside through the water outlet, which is beneficial to improving the cleaning efficiency. It can also prevent the soup or water discharged from the drain from leaking to other places and causing equipment damage, effectively improving the safety performance of the product.

[0021] In one embodiment, the water outlet and the drain outlet are staggered;

[0022] An inclined surface is formed on the bottom wall of the base, and the inclined surface is inclined in the direction from the drain port to the water outlet; one end of the inclined surface along the inclined direction is located below the water outlet, and the water outlet is provided at the other end of the inclined surface along the inclined direction.

[0023] With this design, the soup or water discharged from the drain outlet can flow to the water outlet under the guidance of the inclined surface and be discharged to the outside from the water outlet. This prevents the soup or water discharged from the drain outlet from leaking to other places and causing damage to the equipment, effectively improving the safety performance of the product.

[0024] In one embodiment, a heating plate is further included, and the heating plate is fitted in the outer pot and covers the top of the bottom wall of the outer pot.

[0025] With such a design, the heating plate is used to generate heat to realize the cooking function of the cooking appliance.

[0026] In one of the embodiments, a temperature sensing bag is further included, and the temperature sensing bag is connected to the side wall of the outer pot.

[0027] Designed in this way, the temperature sensing package can detect the temperature of the cooking utensil during the cooking process to ensure the safe use of the equipment.

[0028] In one of the embodiments, a mounting opening communicating with the mounting cavity is formed on the base, a supporting portion is protruded on a side wall of the mounting cavity close to the mounting opening, and the supporting portion is detachably assembled with the outer pot.

[0029] The above-mentioned cooking utensil includes a base, an outer pot and a drainage member. An installation cavity is formed in the base, and a water outlet connected to the installation cavity is provided on the base. The outer pot is mounted in the installation cavity, and a drainage hole is provided through the bottom wall of the outer pot.

[0050] Electric rice cooker is also called electric pot or electric rice cooker. It is a cooking appliance that converts electrical energy into thermal energy. It has multiple heating functions such as steaming, boiling, stewing, boiling and simmering. It is easy to use, safe and reliable. It can not only cook food, but also keep it warm. It is clean and hygienic to use, has no pollution, saves time and effort, and is one of the indispensable cooking appliances for modern housework.

[0051] In the existing electric rice cooker structure, it usually includes a base, an outer pot, a pot cover and a pot inner body. The outer pot 11 is connected to the base, the pot inner body is placed on the outer pot and is used to hold the cooked food, and the pot cover is set on the base and is used to seal the outer pot and the pot inner body.

[0052] When using the electric hot pot, some of the soup or water in the pot may flow into the outer pot, causing water accumulation. For example, if the user does not wipe the outer side of the pot dry, the water on the outer side of the pot may flow into the outer pot, or the soup overflowing during cooking may also flow into the outer pot. Water accumulation in the outer pot may cause a short circuit, resulting in a fire accident or causing the electric hot pot to malfunction.

[0053] Based on the above considerations, in order to solve the above problems, please refer to Figures 1 to 8 In one or more embodiments of the present application, a cooking utensil 100 is provided, which can timely discharge soup or water in the outer pot 11 by using a drainage member 12 to reduce the probability of circuit short circuit and effectively improve the safety performance of the product.

[0054] Specifically, see Figure 1 and Figure 2The cooking utensil 100 includes a base 10, an outer pot 11 and a drainage member 12. An installation cavity 101 is formed in the base 10, and a water outlet 102 communicating with the installation cavity 101 is provided on the base 10. The outer pot 11 is fitted in the installation cavity 101, and a drainage hole 111 is provided through the bottom wall of the outer pot 11. The drainage member 12 has a first end 123 and a second end 124 arranged opposite to each other, and a drainage channel 125 is formed in the drainage member 12, and a water inlet 126 and a drainage outlet 127 communicating with the drainage channel 125 are provided at the first end 123 and the second end 124, respectively. The first end 123 is riveted to the outer pot 11 by a riveting process, and the water inlet 126 is communicated with the drainage hole 111. The second end 124 is spaced from the bottom wall of the installation cavity 101, and the drainage outlet 127 is communicated with the installation cavity 101.

[0055] It is understandable that the soup or water in the outer pot 11 can flow into the drainage member 12 through the drainage hole 111 and the water inlet 126 of the drainage channel 125, and then flow through the drainage channel 125 and be discharged from the drainage port 127 to the inner wall of the installation cavity 101, and finally be discharged to the outside through the water outlet 102 on the base 10. In the present application, the drainage member 12 can directly guide the soup or water in the outer pot 11 to the inner wall of the installation cavity 101 to prevent the soup or water from contacting the wires installed in the installation space 13, thereby reducing the probability of circuit short circuit and effectively improving the safety performance of the product.

[0056] It should be noted that the riveting process is a cold connection technology, which is usually done by inserting rivets into the reserved holes of the connected materials through a special rivet gun or riveting machine, and using the deformation of the rivets themselves to tightly lock the connected materials together. That is to say, in this application, the riveting of the drain member 12 and the outer pot 11 through the riveting process can effectively improve the reliability and durability of the connection between the drain member 12 and the outer pot 11, and is easy to install, which is conducive to improving production efficiency.

[0057] In some embodiments, see Figure 1 and Figure 2 An installation space 13 for installing electric wires is formed between the outer wall of the outer pot 11 and the inner wall of the installation cavity 101. A first preset distance L1 is spaced between the second end 124 and the bottom wall of the installation cavity 101, and a second preset distance L2 is spaced between the electric wires installed in the installation space 13 and the bottom wall of the installation cavity 101. The first preset distance L1 is smaller than the second preset distance L2.

[0058] It can be understood that when the first preset distance L1 is smaller than the second preset distance L2, the second end 124 of the drain member 12 is closer to the bottom wall of the installation cavity 101 than the electric wires. Thus, the drain port 127 opened on the second end 124 can avoid the electric wires and can directly guide the soup or water in the outer pot 11 to the inner wall of the installation cavity 101 to avoid the soup or water from contacting the electric wires installed in the installation space 13, thereby reducing the probability of circuit short circuit and effectively improving the safety performance of the product.

[0059] In some embodiments, see Figure 5 and Figure 6 The bottom wall of the outer pot 11 is recessed outward to form a water collecting groove 112 , and a drainage hole 111 is formed through the bottom wall of the water collecting groove 112 .

[0060] It can be understood that the soup or water in the outer pot 11 can be concentrated in the water collecting tank 112 so that the soup or water can be discharged uniformly through the drainage holes 111 on the bottom wall of the tank. When there is too much soup or water in the outer pot 11 and it exceeds the drainage efficiency of the drainage holes 111, the water collecting tank 112 can better accommodate the excess soup or water to reduce the probability of soup or water accumulation and overflow.

[0061] In some embodiments, see Figure 2 and Figure 8 The connecting member includes a water guide portion 121 and a connecting portion 122. The water guide portion 121 has a first end 123 and a second end 124 that are oppositely disposed. The connecting portion 122 is protrudingly disposed on the peripheral side of the first end 123, and the connecting portion 122 is used to abut against the bottom wall of the outer pot 11. The water guide portion 121 is disposed in the drainage hole 111, and a drainage channel 125 is formed in the water guide portion 121. The first end 123 and the second end 124 are respectively provided with a water inlet 126 and a drainage port 127 that are connected to the drainage channel 125.

[0062] It is understandable that when the drain member 12 is assembled with the outer pot 11, the connection portion 122 is first passed through the drain hole 111, and the connection portion 122 is abutted against the bottom wall of the outer pot 11, so that the drain member 12 can be suspended on the bottom wall of the outer pot 11 through the support of the bottom wall of the outer pot 11 on the connection portion 122. Thereafter, through the riveting process, the first end 123 of the water guide portion 121 is deformed and formed into a deformation portion, which can cooperate with the connection portion 122 to clamp the bottom wall of the outer pot 11, thereby achieving a stable connection between the drain member 12 and the outer pot 11.

[0063] In some embodiments, see Figure 2 and Figure 8 The hole wall of the drainage hole 111 has a corner. The outer wall of the water guide portion 121 is adapted to the hole wall of the drainage hole 111.

[0064] It can be understood that the hole wall of the drainage hole 111 includes a plurality of sub-wall surfaces connected end to end in sequence along the axial direction, and at least a corner is formed at the connection between two adjacent wall surfaces.

[0065] The connecting portion 122 is inserted into the drainage hole 111, and the outer wall of the water guiding portion 121 is fitted with the hole wall of the drainage hole 111. The corner formed on the hole wall of the drainage hole 111 can prevent the water guiding portion 121 from rotating relative to the hole wall of the drainage hole 111. In this way, the operating convenience of the riveting process can be improved, and the stability of the connection between the drainage component 12 and the outer pot 11 can be effectively improved.

[0066] In the present application, the specific arrangement position of the water outlet 102 on the bottom wall of the installation cavity 101 is not limited.

[0067] In some embodiments, not shown, the water outlet 102 and the drain port 127 are aligned in the direction from the first end 123 to the second end 124. In this way, the soup or water discharged from the drain port 127 can be directly discharged to the outside through the water outlet 102, which is conducive to improving the efficiency of the plot, and can prevent the soup or water discharged from the drain port 127 from leaking to other places to cause equipment damage, effectively improving the safety performance of the product.

[0068] In some other embodiments, see Figure 1 and Figure 2 , the water outlet 102 is staggered with the drain port 127. In this way, the water outlet 102 can be staggered with the drain member 12 to facilitate the layout of other equipment.

[0069] Furthermore, an inclined surface 103 is formed on the bottom wall of the base 10, and the inclined surface 103 is inclined along the direction of the drain port 127 pointing to the water outlet 102. One end of the inclined surface 103 along the inclined direction is located below the water outlet 102, and the water outlet 102 is provided at the other end of the inclined surface 103 along the inclined direction.

[0070] It is understandable that the soup or water discharged from the drain port 127 can flow to the water outlet 102 under the guidance of the inclined surface 103, and be discharged to the outside from the water outlet 102. In this way, the soup or water discharged from the drain port 127 can be prevented from leaking to other places to cause equipment damage, effectively improving the safety performance of the product.

[0071] In some embodiments, see Figure 1 and Figure 4 The cooking device 100 further includes a heating plate 14 , which is fitted into the outer pot 11 and covers the bottom wall of the outer pot 11 .

[0072] It can be understood that the heating plate 14 is used to generate heat to achieve the cooking function of the cooking appliance 100 .

[0073] In some embodiments, see Figure 1 and Figure 3 The cooking appliance 100 further includes a temperature sensing package 15 , which is connected to the side wall of the outer pot 11 .

[0074] It is understandable that the temperature sensing package 15 can detect the temperature of the cooking appliance 100 during the cooking process to ensure the safe use of the device.

[0075] In some embodiments, see Figure 1 The base 10 is provided with an installation opening 104 communicating with the installation cavity 101 , and a support portion 105 is protruded from the side wall of the installation cavity 101 near the installation opening 104 , and the support portion 105 and the outer pot 11 are detachably assembled.

[0076] The technical features of the above-described embodiments may be arbitrarily combined. To make the description concise, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above-described embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

[0077] The above-described embodiments only express several implementation methods of the present application, and the descriptions thereof are relatively specific and detailed, but they cannot be construed as limiting the scope of the patent application. It should be pointed out that, for a person of ordinary skill in the art, several variations and improvements can be made without departing from the concept of the present application, and these all belong to the protection scope of the present application. Therefore, the protection scope of the patent application shall be subject to the attached claims.
