[0060] Hereinafter, exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure will be described in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. Although the exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure are shown in the drawings, it should be understood that the present disclosure can be implemented in various forms and should not be limited by the embodiments set forth herein. On the contrary, these embodiments are provided so that the present disclosure can be more thoroughly understood and the scope of the present disclosure can be fully conveyed to those skilled in the art.

[0061] As Figures 1 to 11 shown, according to an embodiment of the present disclosure, a cooking appliance is provided, including: a pot body assembly 100, which forms a cooking space; a driving assembly 200, an output end 201 of the driving assembly 200 is movably disposed in the cooking space; a steamer assembly 300, which is detachably disposed on the output end 201, and when the steamer assembly 300 is disposed on the output end 201, the driving assembly 200 is used to drive the steamer assembly 300 to approach or move away from the inner bottom wall of the pot body assembly 100; a stirring assembly 400, which is detachably disposed on the output end 201, and when the stirring assembly 400 is disposed on the output end 201, the driving assembly 200 is used to drive the stirring assembly 400 to rotate in the cooking space.

[0062] The cooking appliance provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure includes a pot body assembly 100, a driving assembly 200, a steamer assembly 300 and a stirring assembly 400. Among them, the pot body assembly 100 forms a cooking space, so that in practical applications, the cooking appliance can use the cooking space between the pots to hold food ingredients.

[0063] The output end 201 of the aforementioned driving component 200 is movably disposed within the aforementioned cooking space. The aforementioned steamer component 300 is detachably disposed on the aforementioned output end 201. When the steamer component 300 is disposed on the output end 201, the driving component 200 is used to drive the steamer component 300 to approach or move away from the inner bottom wall of the pot body component 100. Thus, in practical applications, the cooking appliance can use the steamer component 300 to hold the ingredients to be cooked and use the cooking space to hold the liquid for cooking the aforementioned ingredients to be cooked. Under the drive of the driving component 200, the steamer component 300 and the ingredients to be cooked can approach or move away from the inner bottom wall of the pot body component 100, and thus at least part of the steamer component 300 and the ingredients to be cooked can be immersed in the aforementioned liquid or located above the liquid level of the aforementioned liquid. Based on this, during the cooking process, the cooking appliance can adjust the position of the steamer component 300 relative to the inner bottom wall of the pot body component 100 to achieve one or more of the cooking processes such as boiling, steaming, frying, and draining of the ingredients to be cooked, and can switch between the aforementioned cooking processes, improving the adaptability of the cooking appliance to different cooking processes, expanding the functions of the cooking appliance, being able to avoid transferring the ingredients between different cooking appliances during the cooking process, ensuring the continuity of the cooking process and reducing the number of cooking appliances used, being beneficial to improving the cooking effect, reducing the complexity of the cooking operation and the cleaning burden after cooking, and being beneficial to improving the user experience of the product.

[0064] It can be understood that when the aforementioned steamer component 300 is disposed on the aforementioned output end 201, at least part of the aforementioned steamer component 300 is located within the aforementioned cooking space, so that the heat and fluid within the cooking space can act on the ingredients within the aforementioned steamer component 300.

[0065] Meanwhile, the aforementioned stirring component 400 is also detachably disposed on the aforementioned output end 201. When the stirring component 400 is disposed on the output end 201, the driving component 200 is used to drive the stirring component 400 to rotate within the cooking space. Thus, in practical applications, the cooking space can hold the ingredients to be cooked. Under the drive of the driving component 200, the stirring component 400 can rotate within the cooking space and can stir the ingredients to be cooked during the rotation process, and thus can achieve cooking processes such as stir-frying and mixing of the ingredients, further improving the adaptability of the cooking appliance to different cooking processes, expanding the functions of the cooking appliance, increasing the function integration degree of the cooking appliance, being beneficial to further saving the amount of appliances used by the user during the cooking process, reducing the cooking operation difficulty of the user, and improving the convenience of cooking.

[0066] It can be understood that, based on the foregoing settings, since both the steamer assembly 300 and the stirring assembly 400 are detachably arranged at the foregoing output end 201, it is also convenient to use the steamer assembly 300 and the stirring assembly 400 independently, facilitating the user to select the corresponding components according to the cooking process requirements, which is conducive to further reducing the amount of components used in the actual cooking process and further reducing the cleaning difficulty of the cooking appliance. At the same time, both the steamer assembly 300 and the stirring assembly 400 can be driven by the same driving assembly 200, which can also simplify the structure of the cooking appliance. While improving the functional integration of the cooking appliance, it also ensures the structural compactness of the cooking appliance, providing a guarantee for the lightweight and miniaturization levels of the cooking appliance.

[0067] It can be understood that the foregoing cooking space can be a trough-shaped space formed in the pot body assembly 100. Correspondingly, the cooking space can be surrounded by the inner peripheral wall and the inner bottom wall of the pot body assembly 100. In practical applications, the food materials located in the cooking space can be supported by the foregoing inner bottom wall.

[0068] It should be noted that, in practical applications, the cooking appliance provided by the embodiments of the present application can be used as cooking utensils such as rice cookers, boiling pans, steamers, deep fryers, hot pots, and stir-fry pans.

[0069] Taking the cooking appliance as a rice cooker as an example, when in use, the steamer assembly 300 can be arranged at the foregoing output end 201, and the rice to be cooked can be put into the steamer assembly 300. Liquid required for making rice, such as water, is added to the cooking space of the pot body assembly 100; as Figure 4 shown, when it is necessary to cook rice, the driving assembly 200 can be controlled to drive the steamer assembly 300 to move, so that the steamer assembly 300 approaches the inner bottom wall of the pot body assembly 100, enabling the rice in the steamer assembly 300 to be immersed in the liquid, thereby heating and cooking the rice; as Figure 4 shown, when it is necessary to make low-sugar rice, the driving assembly 200 can be controlled to drive the steamer assembly 300 to move, so that the steamer assembly 300 approaches the inner bottom wall of the pot body assembly 100, enabling the rice in the steamer assembly 300 to be immersed in the liquid, thereby preliminarily cooking the rice and causing the sugar in the rice to be released into the liquid; as Figure 5 shown, after the preliminary cooking, the driving assembly 200 can be further controlled to drive the steamer assembly 300 to move, so that the steamer assembly 300 moves away from the inner bottom wall of the pot body assembly 100, draining the liquid in the steamer assembly 300 into the pot body assembly 100, and performing further steaming, thereby making low-sugar rice and avoiding operations such as transferring the rice from the boiling pan to the steamer, draining water, or regulating the water level during the process of making low-sugar rice, which can reduce the difficulty of making low-sugar rice.

[0070] It can be understood that since the steamer assembly 300 can be disassembled and assembled relative to the aforementioned output end 201, in the case of only needing to cook rice, the steamer assembly 300 can also not be installed on the aforementioned output end 201, and directly use the cooking space of the pot body assembly 100 to hold rice and the liquid for cooking rice, so as to cook rice, further reducing the number of components used.

[0071] Taking the cooking appliance as a cooking pot or a deep fryer or a hot pot as an example, when in use, the ingredients to be cooked can be put into the steamer, and the liquid required for cooking the ingredients can be added to the cooking space of the pot body assembly 100. By controlling the driving assembly 200 to drive the steamer assembly 300 to move, the steamer assembly 300 is made to approach the inner bottom wall of the pot body assembly 100, so that the ingredients in the steamer assembly 300 are immersed in the aforementioned liquid, and then the aforementioned liquid is heated to carry out cooking. After cooking is completed, the driving assembly 200 can be further controlled to drive the steamer assembly 300 to move, so that the steamer assembly 300 is away from the inner bottom wall of the pot body assembly 100, to drain the liquid in the steamer assembly 300, facilitating the separate serving of the liquid or the cooked ingredients.

[0072] Taking the cooking appliance as a steamer as an example, when in use, the steamer assembly 300 can be arranged on the aforementioned output end 201, and the ingredients to be cooked can be put into the steamer assembly 300. The liquid required for steaming the ingredients is added to the cooking space of the pot body assembly 100. By controlling the driving assembly 200 to drive the steamer assembly 300 to move, the ingredients in the steamer assembly 300 are made to be higher than the liquid level of the aforementioned liquid, and then the ingredients are steamed by heating the aforementioned liquid.

[0073] Taking the cooking appliance as a frying pan as an example, when in use, the stirring assembly 400 can be arranged on the aforementioned output end 201, and the ingredients to be cooked can be put into the cooking space of the pot body assembly 100. By heating the pot body assembly 100, the ingredients in the cooking space absorb heat, and the ingredients in the cooking space can be stirred by controlling the driving assembly 200 to drive the stirring assembly 400 to rotate, so as to realize the frying of the ingredients.

[0074] It can be understood that there are various feasible usage modes for the cooking appliance provided in the embodiments of the present application, which will not be listed one by one here.

[0075] It can be understood that, based on the foregoing settings, the cooking appliance provided in the embodiments of the present application can adjust the distance between the steaming basket assembly 300 and the inner bottom wall of the pot body assembly 100, so as to regulate the positional relationship between the food in the steaming basket assembly 300 and the liquid level in the cooking space, change the immersion degree of the food in the steaming basket assembly 300, thereby reducing the precision requirement for the liquid input amount during cooking and reducing the sensitivity of the cooking effect to the ratio between the food and the liquid, which is beneficial to improving the use convenience of the cooking appliance.

[0076] It can be understood that, as Figure 2 , Figures 4 to 6 shown, the pot body assembly 100 can be a trough-shaped structure with a pot opening, and the pot opening communicates with the foregoing cooking space. Correspondingly, an inner wall of the pot body assembly 100 opposite to the foregoing pot opening is the foregoing inner bottom wall, and an inner wall located between the foregoing pot opening and the foregoing pot body is the foregoing inner peripheral wall; as Figure 7 shown, the steaming basket assembly 300 can be formed with flow holes 3104, so that during the cooking process, gas or liquid in the cooking space can flow into or out of the interior of the steaming basket assembly 300 through the foregoing flow holes 3104.

[0077] As Figures 2 to 7 shown, in some examples, the steaming basket assembly 300 includes: a steaming basket body 310 having a relatively arranged cage mouth end 3101 and a cage bottom end 3102, a receiving groove is formed between the cage mouth end 3101 and the cage bottom end 3102, and a plurality of flow holes 3104 communicating with the receiving groove are formed in the cage bottom end 3102; a lifting mechanism 320 disposed at the cage bottom end 3102, an output end 201 is movably disposed on the inner bottom wall of the pot body assembly 100, and the lifting mechanism 320 is detachably connected to the output end 201; wherein, when the lifting mechanism 320 is disposed on the output end 201, the driving assembly 200 is used to drive the cage bottom end 3102 to approach or move away from the inner bottom wall of the pot body assembly 100 through the lifting mechanism 320.

[0078] In this technical solution, the aforementioned steamer assembly 300 may include a steamer body 310 and a lifting mechanism 320. Among them, the aforementioned steamer body 310 is formed with a receiving groove. In actual application, the ingredients to be cooked can be placed in the aforementioned receiving groove. The aforementioned receiving groove is located between the cage mouth end 3101 and the cage bottom end 3102 of the steamer body 310. The aforementioned cage mouth end 3101 is an open structure, so that the aforementioned ingredients to be cooked can enter or exit the receiving groove through the cage mouth end 3101. The aforementioned cage bottom end 3102 is formed with a plurality of liquid flow holes 3104, and the liquid flow holes 3104 are in communication with the aforementioned receiving groove. During use, the aforementioned cage bottom end 3102 can be arranged to face the inner bottom wall of the pot body assembly 100, so that during the steaming process of the ingredients, steam can enter the receiving groove through the aforementioned liquid flow holes 3104, and then it is convenient for the ingredients in the receiving groove to absorb the heat of the steam. At the same time, during operations such as boiling and draining liquid, it is also convenient for liquid to flow between the receiving groove and the pot body assembly 100.

[0079] The aforementioned lifting mechanism 320 is arranged at the aforementioned cage bottom end 3102 and is used for detachably connecting to the output end 201 of the driving component 200. Thus, the lifting mechanism 320 can receive the power output by the driving component 200. When the aforementioned lifting mechanism 320 is arranged at the aforementioned output end 201, the aforementioned driving component 200 can drive the cage bottom end 3102 to approach or move away from the inner bottom wall of the pot body assembly 100 through the aforementioned lifting mechanism 320. Thus, when there is liquid in the cooking space, the cooking appliance can use the driving component 200 and the lifting mechanism 320 to drive the cage bottom end 3102 of the steamer part to move, so that the aforementioned cage bottom end 3102 is immersed in the aforementioned liquid or above the liquid level of the aforementioned liquid, and then the immersion state of the ingredients can be adjusted, which is convenient for switching between cooking processes. At the same time, the aforementioned output end 201 is arranged on the inner bottom wall of the pot body assembly 100. Thus, when the lifting component is arranged at the aforementioned output end 201, the output end 201 and the lifting component can be located between the aforementioned cage bottom end 3102 and the inner bottom wall of the pot body assembly 100. Furthermore, the cooking appliance can use the aforementioned output end 201 to stably and reliably support the lifting component and the steamer body 310, providing guarantee for the smooth movement of the steamer assembly 300.

[0080] Such as Figures 3 to 5 、 Figure 9 and Figure 10As shown, in some examples, the lifting mechanism 320 includes: a first bushing 321 disposed at the bottom end 3102 of the cage, and the first bushing 321 is formed with an internal thread; a second bushing 322 detachably sleeved on the output end 201, and the second bushing 322 is formed with an external thread, and the first bushing 321 and the second bushing 322 are in threaded driving cooperation; wherein, when the second bushing 322 is sleeved on the output end 201, the driving assembly 200 is configured to drive the second bushing 322 to rotate, so that the first bushing 321 approaches or moves away from the inner bottom wall of the pot body assembly 100.

[0081] In this technical solution, the aforementioned lifting mechanism 320 may include a first bushing 321 and a second bushing 322. The aforementioned first bushing 321 and the aforementioned second bushing 322 are respectively provided with an internal thread and an external thread, and the first bushing 321 and the second bushing 322 are in a threaded driving cooperation relationship. Among them, the aforementioned second bushing 322 is detachably disposed at the output end 201 of the driving assembly 200. Thus, the second bushing 322 can receive the power output by the driving assembly 200 and rotate under the drive of the driving assembly 200. Based on the threaded driving relationship between the first bushing 321 and the second bushing 322, when the second bushing 322 rotates, the first bushing 321 can generate a displacement and approach or move away from the inner bottom wall of the aforementioned pot body assembly 100. Correspondingly, the aforementioned second bushing 322 is disposed at the bottom end 3102 of the cage of the aforementioned steamer body 310. Further, when the driving assembly 200 operates, the first bushing 321 can drive the aforementioned bottom end 3102 of the cage to approach or move away from the inner bottom wall of the pot body assembly 100 to adjust the immersion state of the ingredients, facilitating the switching between cooking processes. At the same time, the lifting assembly drives the steamer body 310 to move in a threaded driving manner, and can also utilize the stability and high efficiency of threaded driving to further ensure the smooth and reliable movement of the steamer body 310, which is beneficial to reducing the possibility of jamming of the steamer body 310 during operation, and facilitating the more accurate control of the displacement amount of the bottom end 3102 of the cage by controlling the rotation amount output by the driving assembly 200, which is beneficial to realizing the precise control of the movement of the steamer assembly 300.

[0082] It can be understood that the aforementioned first bushing 321 and the second bushing 322 are in threaded driving cooperation, that is, when the second bushing 322 rotates, the first bushing 321 can move axially along the external thread of the second bushing 322. In practical applications, the aforementioned external thread can be axially provided along the second bushing 322, and the axis of the second bushing 322 can be set perpendicular to the inner bottom wall of the pot body assembly 100. Thus, when the first bushing 321 moves axially along the external thread of the second bushing 322, it can correspondingly approach or move away from the inner bottom wall of the pot body assembly 100, drive the bottom end 3102 of the cage to approach or move away from the inner bottom wall of the pot body assembly 100, and at the same time, it can also make the displacement direction of the steamer assembly 300 highly consistent with the depth direction of the cooking assembly, which is beneficial to shortening the stroke of the steamer assembly 300. Furthermore, a relatively small moving space can be reserved for the steamer assembly 300 during the manufacturing process of the cooking appliance, which is beneficial to further improving the miniaturization level and structural compactness of the cooking appliance.

[0083] It can be understood that when the lead of the aforementioned external thread is fixed, the relationship between the number of revolutions of the second bushing 322 and the displacement of the first bushing 321 is fixed. Therefore, based on the setting of the aforementioned lifting assembly, it is beneficial to achieve precise control of the movement of the steamer assembly 300.

[0084] As Figure 3 、 Figure 7 and Figure 9 shown, in some examples, the bottom end 3102 of the cage is formed with a mounting groove 3105 and a limiting groove 3106. The limiting groove 3106 is located on the periphery of the mounting groove 3105 and communicates with the mounting groove 3105; a limiting protrusion 3211 is formed on the periphery of the first bushing 321. The first bushing 321 is arranged in the mounting groove 3105, and the limiting protrusion 3211 is arranged in the limiting groove 3106.

[0085] In this technical solution, an installation groove 3105 and a limiting groove 3106 located on the circumferential side of the installation groove 3105 may be formed at the bottom end 3102 of the steamer body 310. The limiting groove 3106 communicates with the installation groove 3105. Correspondingly, a limiting protrusion 3211 may be formed on the first bushing 321. The installation groove 3105 may provide an installation space for the first bushing 321, so as to facilitate the assembly and cooperation of the steamer body 310 and the first bushing 321. When the first bushing 321 is disposed in the installation groove 3105, the limiting protrusion 3211 is located in the limiting groove 3106. Thus, based on the above settings, the steamer assembly 300 can utilize the cooperation relationship between the limiting protrusion 3211 and the limiting groove 3106 to circumferentially position the steamer body 310 and the first bushing 321. Furthermore, during the movement of the steamer assembly 300 relative to the inner bottom wall of the pot body assembly 100, the first bushing 321 can be prevented from rotating relative to the steamer body 310, which is beneficial to further ensure the stable and smooth lifting of the steamer assembly 300.

[0086] In some feasible examples, the number of the limiting protrusions 3211 may be greater than or equal to two, and the limiting protrusions 3211 are arranged at intervals along the circumference of the first bushing 321, so as to improve the reliability of the constraint on the circumferential relative position between the steamer body 310 and the first bushing 321, and further reduce the possibility of the first bushing 321 rotating relative to the steamer body 310.

[0087] In some feasible examples, the first bushing 321 is detachably disposed on the steamer body 310, so as to facilitate the independent cleaning of the steamer body 310 and the lifting assembly before and after use, which is beneficial to further improve the cleanliness and use convenience of the cooking appliance.

[0088] In some feasible examples, an installation groove 3105 is formed at the bottom end 3102 of the steamer. The first bushing 321 is disposed in the installation groove 3105, and the first bushing 321 is in interference fit with the installation groove 3105. Thus, based on the above settings, the steamer assembly 300 can utilize the cooperation relationship between the first bushing 321 and the installation groove 3105 to fix the relative position between the steamer body 310 and the first bushing 321, and prevent the first bushing 321 from moving relative to the second bushing 322, providing a more reliable guarantee for the stable and smooth lifting of the steamer assembly 300.

[0089] Such as Figure 2 、 Figures 4 to 6 and Figure 11As shown, in some examples, the lifting mechanism 320 further includes: a first positioning member 323 disposed on the outer peripheral wall of the steamer body 310; a second positioning member 324 disposed on the inner peripheral wall of the pot body assembly 100; wherein, when the second bushing 322 is sleeved on the output end 201, the first positioning member 323 is snap-fitted to the second positioning member 324 to limit the rotation of the steamer body 310 relative to the pot body assembly 100.

[0090] In this technical solution, the aforementioned lifting mechanism 320 may further include a first positioning member 323 and a second positioning member 324. The aforementioned first positioning member 323 and the aforementioned second positioning member 324 are respectively disposed on the outer peripheral wall of the aforementioned steamer body 310 and the inner peripheral wall of the aforementioned pot body assembly 100. When the aforementioned second bushing 322 is sleeved on the output end 201 of the aforementioned driving assembly 200, the aforementioned first positioning member 323 is snap-fitted on the aforementioned second positioning member 324, thereby restricting the rotation of the steamer body 310 relative to the pot body assembly 100. Furthermore, when the aforementioned driving assembly 200 operates, the steamer assembly 300 can utilize the snap-fitting relationship between the first positioning member 323 and the second positioning member 324 to prevent the steamer body 310 from rotating with the second bushing 322, and can further restrict the rotation of the first bushing 321 based on the cooperation relationship between the steamer body 310 and the first bushing 321, thereby providing further guarantee for the stable and smooth lifting of the steamer assembly 300.

[0091] It can be understood that when there is circumferential positioning between the first bushing 321 and the steamer assembly 300, the rotation of the first bushing 321 will be restricted by the steamer assembly 300. Thus, when the rotation of the steamer assembly 300 relative to the pot body assembly 100 is restricted, the first bushing 321 cannot rotate relative to the pot body assembly 100 either. Furthermore, when the second bushing 322 rotates relative to the pot body assembly 100, the steamer assembly 300 and the first bushing 321 can be prevented from rotating synchronously with the second bushing 322, so that the first bushing 321 can displace axially along the external thread relative to the second bushing 322, and drive the steamer body 310 to lift relative to the inner bottom wall of the pot body assembly 100. Thus, based on the settings of the aforementioned first positioning member 323 and the second positioning member 324, the operating stability and reliability of the lifting assembly can be further improved.

[0092] As Figure 2 、 Figures 4 to 6 、 Figure 8 and Figure 11 As shown, in some examples, the first positioning member 323 is formed with a card slot 3231, and the card slot 3231 is opened along the direction from the bottom end 3102 of the cage to the mouth end 3101 of the cage; the second positioning member 324 includes a rib, and the rib is arranged along the direction from the inner bottom wall of the pot body assembly 100 to the pot mouth of the pot body assembly 100, and the rib is used for slidably snap-fitting in the card slot 3231.

[0093] In this technical solution, the first positioning member 323 is formed with a clamping groove 3231 arranged in the direction from the bottom end 3102 of the steamer to the mouth end 3101 of the steamer. The second positioning member 324 may include a rib arranged in the direction from the inner bottom wall of the pot body assembly 100 to the pot mouth of the pot body assembly 100. When the second sleeve 322 is sleeved on the output end 201, the rib is clamped in the clamping groove 3231, and the rib can slide along the opening direction of the clamping groove 3231. Thus, based on the above settings, on the one hand, when the cooking appliance restricts the rotation of the steamer body 310 relative to the pot body assembly 100 by using the clamping relationship between the rib and the clamping groove 3231, the sliding fit relationship between the rib and the clamping groove 3231 can be used to ensure the smooth execution of the lifting action of the steamer body 310, and then it is convenient for the cooking appliance to stably and reliably switch the cooking process; on the other hand, when the rib is clamped in the clamping groove 3231, the direction from the bottom end 3102 to the mouth end 3101 of the steamer can also be kept highly consistent with the direction from the inner bottom wall of the pot body assembly 100 to the pot mouth of the pot body assembly 100. Furthermore, the displacement direction of the steamer assembly 300 driven by the driving assembly 200 is kept highly consistent with the depth direction of the cooking space, which is beneficial to shortening the stroke of the steamer assembly 300, reducing the moving space of the steamer assembly 300, and providing favorable conditions for further improving the miniaturization level and structural compactness of the cooking appliance.

[0094] As Figure 2 、 Figures 4 to 6 and Figure 8 shown, in some examples, the second positioning member 324 and the pot body assembly 100 are of an integral structure. A plurality of second positioning members 324 are arranged on the inner peripheral wall of the pot body assembly 100, and the plurality of second positioning members 324 are arranged at intervals in the circumferential direction of the pot body assembly 100.

[0095] In this technical solution, the aforementioned second positioning member 324 can be integrally formed on the aforementioned pot body assembly 100, thereby ensuring an increase in the connection strength between the second positioning member 324 and the pot body assembly 100, reducing the possibility of the second positioning member 324 falling off, and reducing the damage probability of the second positioning member 324; the number of the aforementioned second positioning members 324 can be multiple, and the multiple aforementioned second positioning members 324 are arranged at intervals along the circumferential direction of the pot body assembly 100. When the second sleeve 322 is sleeved on the output end 201, at least one of the multiple aforementioned second positioning members 324 is clamped to the aforementioned first positioning member 323, thereby restricting the rotation of the steamer body 310. And based on the arrangement of the multiple aforementioned second positioning members 324, multiple ribs can be formed on the inner circumferential wall of the pot body assembly 100. Furthermore, during the cooking process, the cooking appliance can utilize the multiple ribs to interfere with the fluid flow state in the cooking space, improve the temperature uniformity of the liquid, and reduce the possibility of a too large temperature difference between different regions in the cooking space, which is beneficial to further ensuring the cooking effect of the cooking appliance.

[0096] It can be understood that the number of the aforementioned first positioning members 323 can be the same as the number of the aforementioned second positioning members 324. Correspondingly, when the second sleeve 322 is sleeved on the output end 201, the first positioning member 323 can be matched with the second positioning member 324 one by one; or, the number of the aforementioned first positioning members 323 can be different from the number of the aforementioned second positioning members 324. Correspondingly, when the second sleeve 322 is sleeved on the output end 201, at least one of the aforementioned first positioning members 323 is clamped to at least one of the aforementioned second positioning members 324 to restrict the rotation of the steamer body 310.

[0097] It can be understood that when the aforementioned second sleeve 322 is sleeved on the output end 201 of the aforementioned drive assembly 200, based on the aforementioned arrangement of this technical solution, the second positioning member 324 can also be retained in the cooking space. Thus, during the cooking process, the cooking appliance can also utilize the second positioning member 324 to interfere with the fluid flow state in the cooking space, improve the temperature uniformity of the liquid, which is beneficial to expanding the available working conditions of the second positioning member 324.

[0098] As Figure 6 shown, in some examples, when the stirring assembly 400 is arranged on the output end 201, the drive assembly 200 is used to drive the stirring assembly 400 to rotate along the circumferential direction of the pot body assembly 100.

[0099] In this technical solution, when the stirring assembly 400 is disposed at the output end 201, the driving assembly 200 can be used to drive the stirring assembly 400 to rotate circumferentially along the pot body assembly 100. Based on the foregoing setting, on the one hand, it is beneficial to increase the stirring range of the stirring assembly 400 in the cooking space and reduce the possibility of a stirring dead zone in the cooking space, thereby ensuring the frying and mixing effects of the cooking appliance on the ingredients. On the other hand, during the process of using the stirring assembly 400 to disturb the ingredients in the cooking space, the stirring assembly 400 and the second positioning member 324 can cooperate with each other. That is, during the process of the stirring assembly 400 driving the ingredients in the cooking space to move, the second positioning member 324 can also interfere with the movement of the ingredients, which is beneficial to enhancing the diversity of the movement states of the ingredients and further improving the frying and mixing effects of the cooking appliance on the ingredients.

[0100] As Figure 6 shown, in some feasible examples, the output end 201 of the driving assembly 200 is located in the middle of the inner bottom wall of the pot body assembly 100. The stirring assembly 400 may include a stirring part and a connecting part connected to each other. The connecting part is detachably connected to the output end 201. When the connecting part is connected to the output end 201, the stirring part extends along the radial direction of the pot body assembly 100. Based on the foregoing setting, it is beneficial to increase the stirring range of the stirring assembly 400 and further improve the frying and mixing effects of the cooking appliance on the ingredients.

[0101] As Figure 2 and Figure 3 shown, in some examples, the driving assembly 200 includes: a motor body 210 disposed on the pot body assembly 100; an output shaft 220 rotatably connected to the motor body 210, and the output end 201 is formed on the output shaft 220. Wherein, the motor body 210 is used to drive the output shaft 220 to rotate in a first direction or a second direction, and the first direction is opposite to the second direction.

[0102] In this technical solution, the aforementioned driving component 200 may include a motor body 210 and an output shaft 220. The aforementioned motor body 210 is used to drive the aforementioned output shaft 220 to rotate. Correspondingly, the aforementioned output end 201 is formed on the aforementioned output shaft 220. Thus, the power output by the motor body 210 can be transmitted to the steamer assembly 300 or the stirring assembly 400 through the output shaft 220. And the aforementioned output shaft 220 can rotate in a first direction or a second direction under the drive of the aforementioned motor body 210. The aforementioned first direction and the aforementioned second direction are two opposite rotation directions. Furthermore, on the one hand, during the manufacturing process of the cooking appliance, one of the aforementioned first direction and the second direction can be matched with the movement of the steamer assembly 300 approaching the inner bottom wall of the pot body assembly 100, and the other of the aforementioned first direction and the second direction can be matched with the movement of the steamer assembly 300 away from the inner bottom wall of the pot body assembly 100. Thus, in practical applications, by switching the rotation direction of the output shaft 220, the movement direction of the steamer assembly 300 relative to the inner bottom wall of the pot body assembly 100 can be changed, which is beneficial to improving the convenience of switching the cooking process of the cooking appliance. On the other hand, when the stirring assembly 400 is arranged at the aforementioned output end 201, it is also convenient to realize the steering switch of the stirring assembly 400, which is beneficial to further expanding the disturbance mode of the stirring assembly 400 to the food materials, and then improving the frying and mixing effects of the cooking appliance on the food materials.

[0103] In some feasible examples, the aforementioned driving component 200 can be a motor capable of performing forward and reverse rotation switching.

[0104] Such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in some examples, the pot body assembly 100 includes: a first pot body 110, which forms a cooking space; a second pot body 120, with the first pot body 110 arranged inside the second pot body 120; and a pot lid 130, arranged on the second pot body 120 and used to open or cover the pot opening of the second pot body 120.

[0105] In this technical solution, the aforementioned pot body assembly 100 may include a first pot body 110, a second pot body 120, and a pot lid 130. Among them, the aforementioned first pot body 110 forms the aforementioned cooking space. Correspondingly, the output end 201 of the aforementioned driving assembly 200 is arranged inside the aforementioned first pot body 110, and the inner bottom wall of the pot body assembly 100 is formed on the aforementioned first pot body 110. The aforementioned second pot body 120 can provide an installation space for the first pot body 110, so that the cooking appliance can use the second pot body 120 to protect the first pot body 110 and reduce heat loss during the cooking process. The aforementioned pot lid 130 is used to open or cover the pot opening of the second pot body 120. During the cooking process, the cooking appliance can use the aforementioned pot lid 130 to cover the pot opening of the second pot body 120, so that the first pot body 110 is separated from the external environment, which is conducive to improving the cleanliness and hygiene of the cooking process while further reducing heat loss, and is conducive to improving the cooking effect and cooking efficiency.

[0106] It can be understood that the aforementioned pot lid 130 can be movably arranged on the aforementioned second pot body 120 or detachably arranged on the aforementioned second pot body 120, and it is only necessary to be able to realize the switching between the open state and the covered state of the pot opening of the second pot body 120.

[0107] Such as Figure 2 As shown, in some examples, the pot body assembly 100 further includes: a heating element 140, arranged on the first pot body 110.

[0108] In this technical solution, the pot body assembly 100 may further include a heating element 140 arranged on the aforementioned first pot body 110. Thus, during the cooking process, the cooking appliance can use the heating element 140 to heat the first pot body 110 to provide heat for the ingredients in the cooking space, thereby improving the heating convenience during the cooking process.
