DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0021] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention more clearly understood, the present invention is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0022] like Figures 1 to 4As shown, the present invention discloses a pot body separator, comprising: a partition 110; the partition 110 is used to be inserted into the pot body 200, so that at least part of the side and / or the bottom of the partition 110 contacts the inner wall of the pot body 200, so that the partition 110 stands in the pot body 200 and divides the pot body 200 into multiple cooking grooves 210.

[0023] In this embodiment, when in use, one or more partitions 110 are inserted into the pot body 200 with a certain force, so that the partitions 110 stand firmly in the pot body 200 and are not easy to fall over, and the pot body 200 is divided into two or more cooking grooves 210.

[0024] The device further comprises a sealing ring 120 ; the sealing ring 120 is made of an elastic sealing material and is sleeved on at least a portion of the outer edge of the partition 110 .

[0025] In this embodiment, when in use, a sealing ring is provided on the edge of the pot body separator 100. When the pot body separator 100 is embedded in the pot body 200, the outer side of the sealing ring contacts the pot body 200, thereby increasing the friction between the pot body separator 100 and the pot body 200. At the same time, the sealing ring 120 has a certain deformation ability, so that the pot body separator 100 can adapt to the pot body 200 within a certain size range.

[0026] A support portion 130 is disposed on the outer side of the sealing ring 120 , and a groove 131 is disposed on the support portion 130 for the support portion 130 to deform.

[0027] In this embodiment, the design of the groove 131 allows the support portion 130 to have a certain deformation space, and can adapt to the pot body 200 with a size within a certain range. At the same time, it can also enable the pot body separator 100 to be firmly embedded in the pot body 200.

[0028] The inner side of the sealing ring 120 is provided with a mounting groove 122, and the mounting groove 122 is sleeved on the outer edge of the partition 110. The sealing ring 120 is sleeved on the edge of the entire circle of the partition 110, or the sealing ring 120 is sleeved on the edge of the side and bottom of the partition 110. The sealing ring 120 is Y-shaped, and the cross-sectional shape of the groove 131 is V-shaped; the V-shaped angle of the groove 131 is 30° to 120°. The installation groove 122 can make the connection between the sealing ring 120 and the partition 110 more stable. The sealing ring 120 is provided to improve the stability of the partition 110 when it is embedded in the pot body 200, and to adapt the pot body separator 100 to pot bodies 200 of different sizes through the deformation of the sealing ring 120. The sealing ring 120 is set on the whole circle edge of the partition 110, or the side edge of the partition 110, or the side edge and the bottom edge, which can achieve the effect of making the pot body separator 100 stand firmly in the pot body 200. One end of the Y-shaped is combined with the partition 110, and the Y-shaped structure enables the sealing ring 120 to be firmly installed on the outer edge of the partition 110. One side of the V-shaped is in contact with the inner wall of the pot body 200 during use. The V-shaped bifurcation can have a certain deformation space and can adapt to pot bodies 200 within a certain size range. At the same time, the V-shaped support portion 130 can also increase the friction between the pot body separator 100 and the inner wall of the pot body 200, so that the pot body separator 100 can be firmly embedded in the pot body 200 and is not easily crushed.

[0029] A suction cup 112 is disposed at the bottom of the partition 110 , and the suction cup 112 adsorbs the bottom wall of the pot body 200 .

[0030] In this embodiment, when the partition 110 is inserted into the bottom of the pot body 200, the suction cup 112 at the bottom of the partition 110 is adsorbed on the bottom wall of the pot body 200, so that the partition 110 can stand stably in the pot body 200. By adsorbing the bottom wall of the pot body 200 by the suction cup 112, the pot body 200 has smaller requirements on the size of the partition 110, thereby improving the application range of the partition 110.

[0031] Preferably, a support frame 400 is further included, and the support frame 400 is connected to the partition 110 .

[0032] like Figures 9 to 14 As shown, in this embodiment, the support frame 400 is used to support the partition 110 to stand in the pot body 200, and the support frame 400 can be flat or inverted V-shaped or stick-shaped or frame structure or semi-frame structure. The support frame 400 can be fixedly connected / hinged / detachably connected to the bottom of the partition 110, or fixedly connected / hinged / detachably connected to one side of the partition 110, or fixedly connected / hinged / detachably connected to both sides of the partition 110, or fixedly connected / hinged / detachably connected to the partition 110 to form an inverted V shape or an inverted Y shape with the partition 110. When the support frame 400 is set on one side of the partition 110, it can form a T-shaped structure with the partition 110. Through different placement methods, the pot body 200 can be divided into two or three spaces. When the support frame 400 is disposed on both sides of the partition 110 , it can form an I-shaped or cross-shaped structure with the partition 110 . Through structural design, the inside of the pot body 200 can be divided into two or four spaces.

[0033] At least one through slot 111 is formed on the partition 110 , and the profile of the partition 110 is a trapezoidal structure that is wide at the top and narrow at the bottom.

[0034] In this embodiment, the design of the through groove 111 can reduce the weight of the partition 110, so that the mass of the partition 110 is reduced, thereby reducing the overall mass of the pot body separator 100, making it more convenient to use, and at the same time can reduce the material used for the partition 110. When a sufficiently large through groove 111 is opened in the middle of the partition 110, the partition 110 can be made into a frame structure. Most of the pot bodies 200 have a trapezoidal cross-sectional shape. In this embodiment, the partition 110 with a trapezoidal structure can adapt to most pot bodies 200, thereby increasing the scope of application of the pot body separator 100.

[0035] The anti-scalding layer 121 is fixedly connected to the upper part of the partition 110; the sealing ring 120 and the anti-scalding layer 121 are set as an integrated structure, the anti-scalding layer 121 and the sealing ring 120 are made of silicone material, and the partition 110 is made of stainless steel material.

[0036] In this embodiment, the design of the anti-scalding layer 121 facilitates the taking of the partition 110 to avoid being scalded, and at the same time increases the friction between the hand and the partition 110. The sealing ring 120 and the anti-scalding layer 121 are an integrated structure, which can reduce the assembly process in the production process. At the same time, it is also easier to clean during use. The silicone material can withstand high temperatures without deformation and has good elasticity. At the same time, silicone products are easy to clean and durable. The partition 110 made of stainless steel is easy to clean and almost never gets moldy or rusty.

[0037] like Figures 5 to 8 As shown, the present invention also discloses a slow cooker, including a pot body 200, a liner bag 300 and a pot body separator 100; the pot body separator 100 is arranged in the pot body 200 to divide the pot body 200 into a plurality of cooking grooves 210, and the liner bag 300 is arranged in the cooking grooves 210.

[0038] The liner bag 300 is made of high temperature resistant plastic.

[0039] The present invention also discloses a method for using a slow cooker, which uses the pot body separator 100, and the method includes: S1. The sealing ring 120 is placed on the outer edge of the partition 110, and the partition 110 is inserted into the pot body 200 of the slow cooker, so that the support part 130 is closely fitted with the inner wall of the pot body 200, so that a plurality of cooking grooves 210 are separated in the pot body 200. Since the support part 130 is provided with a groove 131, the support part 130 has a certain deformation space, which can adapt to pot bodies 200 of different sizes. The upper part of the partition 110 is fixedly connected with an anti-scalding layer 121. When the pot body separator 100 is inserted into the pot body 200 of the slow cooker, the anti-scalding layer 121 is located above the pot body 200, which is convenient for holding and prevents burns when taking it.

[0040] S2. A liner bag 300 is correspondingly placed in each cooking groove 210 , or a liner bag 300 is placed in multiple cooking grooves 210 across the pot body divider 100 .

[0041] In this embodiment, after the slow cooker is used, the liner bag 300 only needs to be taken out of the pot and thrown away, and the inside and outside of the pot body 200 remain clean, and the pot body 200 does not need to be cleaned.

[0042] The above description is only a preferred specific implementation manner of the present invention, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any changes or substitutions that can be easily conceived by any technician familiar with the technical field within the technical scope disclosed by the present invention should be covered within the protection scope of the present invention.
