Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of electric rice cookers, in particular to a full-automatic cooking pot structure. Background Art

[0002] With the development of society, people's living habits and living conditions have changed a lot, the pace of life is getting faster and faster, a large number of pre-prepared foods make it convenient for people to prepare dishes as soon as possible after work, but cooking is indeed a relatively lagging problem. Generally, it takes people about an hour to cook. If you make an appointment before work, you need to wash the rice in advance. Because the soaked rice is easy to deteriorate in hot weather and has a bad taste, especially in the southwest of my country, there is a habit of eating "raw steamed rice", which requires the rice to be steamed and soaked for many times, which is very inconvenient for modern people.

[0003] The automatic rice washing machine on the market, such as the disclosed Chinese patent CN202323298783, can only filter the rice after soaking, but does not have the function of washing. The existing electric rice cookers and other similar products mainly use the rice basket (liner) to be suspended, or the rice basket to be lifted and lowered to separate the rice from the water to achieve the purpose of steaming. This separation method requires accurate control of the water level and the amount of rice, which is not very convenient to use, and it is also impossible to steam and cook for many times, which also leads to a more complicated structure of the electric rice cooker and a higher overall cost. In addition, due to the hardening of the rice grains and the lack of steam holes, the phenomenon of undercooked and partially raw rice is caused, so the prior art needs to be improved and developed. Summary of the invention

In addition, the lifting gear 102A that controls the lifting and lowering of the lifting screw 102 adopts a concave structure in the middle to ensure a close fit with the lifting screw 102. In this embodiment, a form similar to a worm gear and a worm is adopted, which not only fits tightly but also has a self-locking function. There is also an inner pot 116 with a mesh at the bottom inside the inner pot body 115. The bottom of the inner pot body 115 is a waterproof sealing structure. There is a drain port 127 at the bottom of the inner pot body 115. A water inlet 126 or multiple water inlets are provided on the inner pot body 115. A water inlet valve 107 and a flow meter 106 are connected between the water inlet 126 and the water inlet 112 of the outer pot body 100. The drain port 127 at the bottom of the inner pot body 115 is connected to the drain port 112 of the outer pot body 100. 113 is connected by a pipeline, a drain valve 108 and a return elbow 129 are arranged in the middle of the pipeline, an overflow port 119 is arranged on the upper part of the inner pot body 115, and the overflow port 119 is connected to the front part of the return elbow 129 through a pipeline, which can prevent steam from overflowing after the water is boiled. A space of about 3 cm is left between the inner pot body 115 and the inner pot 116, and an elastic sealing ring 117 is arranged at the connection between the inner pot body 115 and the inner pot 116 at the top, a rice bin 120 and a rice bin baffle 121 are arranged in the pot cover 128, and a rice bin motor 122 and a rice bin slider 123 are also arranged, and the rice bin motor 122 can push the slider 123 to open the rice bin baffle 121 and push the rice into the inner pot 116 through the rice bin motor screw 125.

[0022] By adopting the above scheme, the working process of the fully automatic cooking pot provided by the present invention is as follows: the cooking end time can be set in advance at any time, and the fully automatic cooking pot automatically pushes the rice into the inner pot 116 in multiple times according to the required amount at the preset time before returning home, the flow meter 106 controls the water inlet valve 107 to open according to the required water amount for washing rice, the lifting motor 105 rotates and the rotating motor 103 is started, the stirring rod 101 stirs the rice grains evenly and distributes them to the inner pot 116 while descending, and washes the rice at the same time, and the drain valve 108 is closed after the preset time. After multiple washing cycles, the drain valve 108 is closed, and the controller 109 opens the water inlet valve 107 to control the water inlet to about one centimeter below the bottom of the inner pot 116. At the same time, the controller 109 controls the heating plate 111 to work. When the steam sensor 130 detects that the water is boiling, it starts counting. When the predetermined time is reached, the heating plate 111 stops working, the water inlet valve 107 is opened, and the controller 109 controls the water inlet to make the rice grains in the inner pot 116 soaked in water.
