Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application belongs to the technical field of electrical appliances, and particularly relates to a cooking appliance and a control method. Background Art

[0002] With the progress of technology and the improvement of people's living standards, cooking appliances are also constantly developing and innovating.

[0003] Traditional cooking appliances usually only have a single control interface and function. Due to the single function of cooking appliances, users need to frequently change different appliances or adjust parameters when using them, which not only increases the operation complexity of users, but may also cause the interruption or failure of the cooking process and cannot meet the pursuit of users for diversified cooking needs, affecting the user experience. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To solve the above technical problems, the present invention provides a cooking appliance and a control method, aiming to at least solve to a certain extent the technical problem that cooking appliances usually only have a single control interface and function, which affects the user experience.

[0005] The technical solution of the present invention is as follows:

[0006] A cooking appliance, characterized in that it includes: a housing, including a pot body and an upper cover that can open and close the pot body; a first operation component disposed on the pot body; a second operation component disposed on the upper cover; wherein, under the condition that the upper cover opens the pot body, the first operation component starts, and the second operation component stops; under the condition that the upper cover closes the pot body, the first operation component stops, and the second operation component starts.

[0007] Since the cooking appliance includes a first operation component and a second operation component, the second operation component is supported by the upper cover. The first operation component and the second operation component can be respectively responsible for the input of selection signals for different cooking functions of the cooking appliance, enabling users to more conveniently control and adjust the cooking process. Through the collaborative work of the first operation component and the second operation component, users can also simultaneously achieve multiple cooking functions, expand the functions of the cooking appliance, improve cooking efficiency and quality, and improve the user experience.

[0008] Since the first operation component is provided on the pot body and the second operation component is provided on the lid, the pot body can support the first operation component and the lid can support the second operation component. Since the lid can open and close the pot body, when frying, stir-frying, deep-frying, thickening the sauce, etc. are to be performed on the ingredients, the lid needs to open the pot body. At this time, it is not easy for the user to operate the second operation component on the lid. Therefore, the first operation component is started and the second operation component is stopped, and the cooking appliance is controlled by the first operation component for cooking, so as to facilitate the user's operation. At the same time, it avoids the user's misoperation of the second operation component and ensures the normal progress of cooking. When the lid is to be closed for cooking the ingredients, the lid needs to close the pot body. At this time, compared with the first operation component on the pot body, it is easier for the user to operate the second operation component on the lid. Therefore, the second operation component is started and the first operation component is stopped, and the cooking appliance is controlled by the second operation component for cooking, so as to facilitate the user's operation. At the same time, it avoids the user's misoperation of the first operation component and ensures the normal progress of cooking.

[0009] In some embodiments, the cooking appliance further includes: an opening / closing detection device installed on at least one of the pot body and the lid for detecting the opening and closing of the lid.

[0010] In some embodiments, the opening / closing detection device includes: a trigger and a detector, one of which is provided on the pot body and the other is provided on the lid; wherein, when the trigger detects that the distance from the detector is greater than a set threshold, the first operation component is started and the second operation component is stopped; when the trigger detects that the distance from the detector is less than the set threshold, the first operation component is stopped and the second operation component is started to determine whether the lid opens or closes the pot body.

[0011] In some embodiments, under the condition that the lid closes the pot body, at least a part of the projections of the trigger and the detector on the pot body overlap to ensure the accuracy of determining whether the lid opens or closes the pot body.

[0012] In some embodiments, the opening / closing detection device includes: an angle sensor provided on the pot body or the lid for detecting the angle between the pot body and the lid; wherein, when the angle detected by the angle sensor is greater than a set angle value, the first operation component is started and the second operation component is stopped; when the angle detected by the angle sensor is less than or equal to the set angle value, the first operation component is stopped and the second operation component is started to determine whether the lid opens or closes the pot body.

[0013] In some embodiments, the first operation component is provided on the side of the pot body, and the second operation component is provided on the top of the lid to facilitate the user's operation.

[0014] In some embodiments, the cooking appliance further includes: a prompt device disposed on the housing; wherein, under the condition that the upper cover closes the pot body, the prompt device is activated to enable the user to know that the first operation component stops.

[0015] In some embodiments, the cooking appliance further includes: a support base disposed on the housing; an open lid member, both of which are mounted on the support base with the first operation component; wherein, the open lid member can lock the lid body and the pot body to save space.

[0016] In some embodiments, the cooking appliance further includes: a support base disposed on the housing and having a first groove formed therein; wherein, the first operation component is disposed in the first groove and is inclined to improve the user experience.

[0017] Based on the same inventive concept, the present application further provides a cooking control method applied to a cooking appliance, the cooking appliance including a housing, a first operation component, and a second operation component, the housing including a pot body and an upper cover capable of opening and closing the pot body, the first operation component being disposed on the pot body, the second operation component being disposed on the upper cover, the cooking control method including: responding to an opening signal for the upper cover to open the pot body; controlling the first operation component to start working and the second operation component to stop working according to the opening signal; responding to a closing signal for the upper cover to close the pot body; controlling the first operation component to stop working and the second operation component to start working according to the closing signal.

[0018] When frying, stir-frying, deep-frying, reducing the sauce, etc. are to be performed on the ingredients, the upper cover needs to open the pot body to generate an opening signal. At this time, it is not easy for the user to operate the second operation component on the upper cover. Therefore, according to the opening signal, the first operation component is controlled to start working and the second operation component stops working. The cooking appliance is controlled to cook through the first operation component, which is convenient for the user to operate. At the same time, it avoids the user from misoperating the second operation component and ensures the normal cooking. When the ingredients are to be cooked with the lid closed, the upper cover needs to close the pot body to generate a closing signal. At this time, compared with the first operation component on the pot body, it is easier for the user to operate the second operation component on the upper cover. Therefore, according to the closing signal, the second operation component is controlled to start working and the first operation component stops working. The cooking appliance is controlled to cook through the second operation component, which is convenient for the user to operate. At the same time, it avoids the user from misoperating the first operation component and ensures the normal cooking.

[0019] Since the cooking appliance includes a first operation component and a second operation component, the second operation component is supported by the upper cover. The first operation component and the second operation component can be respectively responsible for inputting selection signals of different cooking functions of the cooking appliance, enabling the user to more conveniently control and adjust the cooking process. Also, through the collaborative work of the first operation component and the second operation component, the user can simultaneously implement multiple cooking functions, expanding the functions of the cooking appliance, improving cooking efficiency and quality, and enhancing the user experience.

[0020] In some embodiments, the cooking control method further includes: controlling the generation of a prompt signal according to the shutdown signal, and sending out failure information indicating the failure of the first operation component, so that the user can know that the first operation component has stopped.

[0021] In some embodiments, the second operation component is controlled to power off or standby according to the startup signal; the first operation component is controlled to power off or standby according to the shutdown signal, so as to stop the first operation component or the second operation component.

[0022] Based on the same inventive concept, the present application also provides a cooking control method applied to a cooking appliance. The cooking appliance includes a housing, a first operation component, and a second operation component. The housing includes a cooking pot body and an upper cover that can open and close the cooking pot body. The first operation component is disposed on the cooking pot body, and the second operation component is disposed on the upper cover. The cooking control method includes: responding to an opening signal for the upper cover to open the cooking pot body; controlling the termination of the cooking mode corresponding to the second operation component according to the opening signal; and / or, responding to a closing signal for the upper cover to close the cooking pot body; controlling the termination of the cooking mode corresponding to the first operation component according to the closing signal.

[0023] When the upper cover closes the cooking pot body, the cooking appliance performs the cooking mode corresponding to the second operation component, that is, the cooking appliance performs cooking with the cover closed. At this time, the heater of the cooking appliance operates according to the cooking mode with the cover closed. When the upper cover opens the cooking pot body, an opening signal is generated. At this time, according to the opening signal, the cooking mode corresponding to the second operation component is controlled to terminate. That is to say, the cooking with the cover closed of the cooking appliance terminates, and the heater of the cooking appliance stops heating.

[0024] When the upper cover opens the cooking pot body, the cooking appliance performs the cooking mode corresponding to the first operation component, that is, the cooking appliance fries, stir-fries, deep-fries, reduces the sauce, etc. for the ingredients. At this time, the heater of the cooking appliance operates according to the modes such as frying, stir-frying, deep-frying, reducing the sauce, etc. When the upper cover closes the cooking pot body, a closing signal is generated. At this time, according to the closing signal, the cooking mode corresponding to the first operation component is controlled to terminate. That is to say, the frying, stir-frying, deep-frying, reducing the sauce, etc. of the cooking appliance terminate, and the heater of the cooking appliance stops heating.

[0025] Since the cooking appliance includes a first operation component and a second operation component, the second operation component is supported by the upper cover. The first operation component and the second operation component can be respectively responsible for inputting selection signals of different cooking functions of the cooking appliance, enabling the user to more conveniently control and adjust the cooking process. Also, through the collaborative work of the first operation component and the second operation component, the user can simultaneously implement multiple cooking functions, expanding the functions of the cooking appliance, improving cooking efficiency and quality, and enhancing the user experience.

[0026] Based on the same inventive concept, the present application also provides a cooking control method applied to a cooking appliance. The cooking appliance includes a housing, a first operation component, and a second operation component. The housing includes a cooking pot body and an upper cover that can open and close the cooking pot body. The first operation component is disposed on the cooking pot body, and the second operation component is disposed on the upper cover. The cooking control method includes: responding to an opening signal for the upper cover to open the cooking pot body; controlling the termination of the cooking mode corresponding to the second operation component according to the opening signal, and controlling the first operation component to start working and the second operation component to stop working; responding to a closing signal for the upper cover to close the cooking pot body; controlling the termination of the cooking mode corresponding to the first operation component according to the closing signal, and controlling the first operation component to stop working and the second operation component to start working.

[0027] When frying, stir-frying, deep-frying, or reducing the sauce of ingredients, etc., the upper cover needs to open the cooking pot body. At this time, it is not easy for the user to operate the second operation component on the upper cover. Therefore, the first operation component is started and the second operation component is stopped, facilitating the user to select the cooking mode corresponding to the first operation component through the first operation component and start the cooking appliance for cooking. At the same time, it avoids the user accidentally operating the second operation component and ensures normal cooking. If when the upper cover needs to open the cooking pot body, the cooking appliance is in the cooking mode corresponding to the second operation component, that is, the cooking appliance is performing cooking with the cover closed, at this time, the heater of the cooking appliance works according to the cooking mode with the cover closed. When the upper cover opens the cooking pot body, an opening signal is generated. At this time, according to the opening signal, the cooking mode corresponding to the second operation component is controlled to terminate. That is to say, the cooking with the cover closed of the cooking appliance terminates, the heater of the cooking appliance stops heating, and at the same time, the first operation component is started and the second operation component is stopped.

[0028] When the lid needs to be closed to cook the ingredients on the cooking appliance, the lid needs to close the cooking pot body. At this time, compared with the first operation component on the cooking pot body, it is easier for the user to operate the second operation component on the lid. Therefore, the second operation component is activated and the first operation component is stopped, facilitating the user to select the cooking mode corresponding to the second operation component through the second operation component and start the cooking appliance to cook. At the same time, it avoids the user from accidentally operating the first operation component and ensures the normal progress of cooking. If when the lid needs to close the cooking pot body, the cooking appliance performs the cooking mode corresponding to the first operation component, that is, the cooking appliance fries, stir-fries, deep-fries, reduces the sauce, etc. for the ingredients. At this time, the heater of the cooking appliance works according to the modes such as frying, stir-frying, deep-frying, reducing the sauce, etc. When the lid closes the cooking pot body, a closing signal is generated. At this time, according to the closing signal, the cooking mode corresponding to the first operation component is terminated. That is to say, frying, stir-frying, deep-frying, reducing the sauce, etc. of the cooking appliance are terminated, the heater of the cooking appliance stops heating, and at the same time, the first operation component is started and the second operation component is stopped.

[0029] Since the cooking appliance includes a first operation component and a second operation component, the second operation component is supported by the lid. The first operation component and the second operation component can be respectively responsible for the input of selection signals for different cooking functions of the cooking appliance, enabling the user to more conveniently control and adjust the cooking process. Also, through the coordinated work of the first operation component and the second operation component, the user can simultaneously achieve multiple cooking functions, expanding the functions of the cooking appliance, improving the cooking efficiency and quality, and enhancing the user experience.

[0061] Next, the present application will be described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and with reference to specific embodiments:

[0062] A cooking appliance and a control method provided in this embodiment are intended to at least solve to a certain extent the technical problem that cooking appliances usually only have a single control interface and function, which affects the user experience.

[0063] Figure 1Schematic diagram of the upper cover of the cooking appliance closing the pot body for some embodiments; Figure 2 is Figure 1 Partial cross-sectional view of the cooking appliance in Figure 3 is Figure 1 Schematic diagram of the upper cover of the cooking appliance opening the pot body in Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 3 The cooking appliance according to the embodiments of the present application includes: a housing 10, a first operation component 20, and a second operation component 30. The housing 10 includes a pot body 101 and an upper cover 102 that can open and close the pot body 101. The first operation component 20 is provided on the pot body 101. The second operation component 30 is provided on the upper cover 102. Among them, under the condition that the upper cover 102 opens the pot body 101, the first operation component 20 is started, and the second operation component 30 stops; under the condition that the upper cover 102 closes the pot body 101, the first operation component 20 stops, and the second operation component 30 is started.

[0064] The cooking appliance can be a pressure cooker, a rice cooker, etc., and the embodiments of the present application do not make limitations.

[0065] One of the second operation component 30 and the first operation component 20 can control the cooking appliance to perform cooking with the lid closed, and the other can control the cooking appliance to perform frying, stir-frying, deep-frying, sauce thickening, etc.

[0066] Since the cooking appliance includes the first operation component 20 and the second operation component 30, the second operation component 30 is supported by the upper cover 102. The first operation component 20 and the second operation component 30 can be respectively responsible for inputting selection signals of different cooking functions of the cooking appliance, enabling the user to more conveniently control and adjust the cooking process. Also, through the collaborative work of the first operation component 20 and the second operation component 30, the user can simultaneously implement multiple cooking functions, expanding the functions of the cooking appliance, improving the cooking efficiency and quality, and enhancing the user experience.

[0067] Since the first operation component 20 is provided on the pot body 101 and the second operation component 30 is provided on the upper cover 102, the pot body 101 can support the first operation component 20 and the upper cover 102 can support the second operation component 30. Since the upper cover 102 can open and close the pot body 101, when frying, stir-frying, deep-frying, reducing the juice, etc. are to be performed on the food ingredients, the upper cover 102 needs to open the pot body 101. At this time, it is not easy for the user to operate the second operation component 30 on the upper cover 102. Therefore, the first operation component 20 is started and the second operation component 30 is stopped, and the cooking appliance is controlled by the first operation component 20 to cook, so as to facilitate the user's operation. At the same time, the user is prevented from misoperating the second operation component 30 to ensure the normal progress of cooking. When the food ingredients are to be cooked with the lid closed, the upper cover 102 needs to close the pot body 101. At this time, compared with the first operation component 20 on the pot body 101, it is easier for the user to operate the second operation component 30 on the upper cover 102. Therefore, the second operation component 30 is started and the first operation component 20 is stopped, and the cooking appliance is controlled by the second operation component 30 to cook, so as to facilitate the user's operation. At the same time, the user is prevented from misoperating the first operation component 20 to ensure the normal progress of cooking.

[0068] In some embodiments, when frying, deep-frying, stir-frying, etc. are performed on the food ingredients, the upper cover 102 opens the pot body 101, and the corresponding function in the first operation component 20 is selected to perform early cooking treatment on the food ingredients by the cooking appliance. When cooking soup-like food ingredients, the upper cover 102 is buckled on the pot body 101 to close the pot body 101, so that the food ingredients are in the closed cavity formed by the inner pot, the pot lid, and the sealing ring, and then the corresponding function in the second operation component 30 is selected to make full use of the characteristics of high pressure cooking temperature and uniform temperature field distribution to achieve rapid cooking, so that the cooking appliance can not only perform soup-like cooking but also perform the function of stir-frying. The function control of the cooking appliance is realized by the first operation component 20 and the second operation component 30 respectively, enabling the user to more conveniently control and adjust the cooking process. The user can simultaneously realize multiple cooking functions, expanding the functions of the cooking appliance, improving the cooking efficiency and quality, and enhancing the user experience.

[0069] In some embodiments, when frying, stir-frying, or sautéing ingredients, the upper lid 102 opens the pot body 101, and the corresponding function in the first operation component 20 is selected to enable the cooking appliance to perform early cooking treatment on the ingredients. After the ingredients reach the desired cooking effect, the upper lid 102 is then snapped onto the pot body 101 to close the pot body 101, so that the ingredients are in the sealed cavity formed by the inner pot, the pot lid, and the sealing ring. Then, the corresponding function in the second operation component 30 is selected to make full use of the characteristics of high pressure cooking temperature and uniform temperature field distribution to achieve rapid cooking, enabling the cooking appliance to not only cook soups but also perform the function of stir-frying. Through the coordinated operation of the first operation component 20 and the second operation component 30, the function control of the cooking appliance is realized, enabling the user to more conveniently control and adjust the cooking process. The user can simultaneously achieve multiple cooking functions, expanding the functions of the cooking appliance, improving the cooking efficiency and quality, and enhancing the user experience.

[0070] In some embodiments, when performing covered cooking on ingredients, the upper lid 102 is snapped onto the pot body 101 to close the pot body 101, so that the ingredients are in the sealed cavity formed by the inner pot, the pot lid, and the sealing ring. Then, the corresponding function in the second operation component 30 is selected to make full use of the characteristics of high covered cooking temperature and uniform temperature field distribution to achieve rapid cooking. After the ingredients reach the desired cooking effect, the upper lid 102 opens the pot body 101, and the corresponding function in the first operation component 20 is selected to enable the cooking appliance to perform sauce reduction on the ingredients, or the user to stir-fry the ingredients, enabling the cooking appliance to not only perform covered cooking but also perform the function of sauce reduction or stir-frying. Through the coordinated operation of the first operation component 20 and the second operation component 30, the function control of the cooking appliance is realized, enabling the user to more conveniently control and adjust the cooking process. The user can simultaneously achieve multiple cooking functions, expanding the functions of the cooking appliance, improving the cooking efficiency and quality, and enhancing the user experience.

[0071] In some embodiments, if the cooking appliance is a combined pot, when the upper lid 102 opens the pot body 101, the upper lid 102 needs to be flipped on the pot body 101, and the second operation component 30 will be blocked by the body of the upper lid 102, making it difficult for the user to operate the second operation component 30. Therefore, the first operation component 20 is activated, the second operation component 30 is stopped, and the cooking appliance is controlled by the first operation component 20 for cooking to facilitate user operation. At the same time, it avoids the user from accidentally operating the second operation component 30 and ensures normal cooking.

[0072] In some embodiments, if the cooking appliance is a split pot, when the upper cover 102 opens the pot body 101, the upper cover 102 is separated from the pot body 101. If the second operation component 30 is required to control the cooking appliance to cook, a wireless communication module is needed, which increases the cost. Therefore, when the upper cover 102 opens the pot body 101, the first operation component 20 is started, the second operation component 30 is stopped, and the cooking appliance is controlled to cook through the first operation component 20, so as to facilitate user operation. At the same time, it avoids the user from misoperating the second operation component 30 and ensures the normal cooking process.

[0073] Figure 4 For Figure 1 Partial cross-sectional view of the upper cover of the cooking appliance opening the pot body. In combination with Figure 2 And Figure 4 , in some embodiments, in order to determine whether the upper cover 102 opens or closes the pot body 101, the cooking appliance further includes: an opening detection device. The opening detection device is installed on at least one of the pot body 101 and the upper cover 102 and is used to detect the opening and closing of the upper cover 102.

[0074] In combination with Figure 2 And Figure 4 , in some embodiments, in order to determine whether the upper cover 102 opens or closes the pot body 101, the opening detection device 40 includes: a trigger 40 and a detector 50. One of the trigger 40 and the detector 50 is arranged on the pot body 101, and the other is arranged on the upper cover 102. Wherein, when the trigger 40 detects that the distance from the detector 50 is greater than the set threshold, the first operation component 20 is started and the second operation component 30 is stopped. When the trigger 40 detects that the distance from the detector 50 is less than the set threshold, the first operation component 20 is stopped and the second operation component 30 is started.

[0075] In some embodiments, when the trigger 40 detects that the distance from the detector 50 is greater than the set threshold, it is determined that the upper cover 102 opens the pot body 101. The detector 50 is electrically connected to the first operation component 20 and the second operation component 30 to control the first operation component 20 to start and the second operation component 30 to stop. When the trigger 40 detects that the distance from the detector 50 is less than the set threshold, it is determined that the upper cover 102 closes the pot body 101. The detector 50 is electrically connected to the first operation component 20 and the second operation component 30 to control the first operation component 20 to stop and the second operation component 30 to start.

[0076] In some embodiments, the trigger 40 may be a magnet, and the detector 50 may be a magnetic sensor. When the distance between the trigger 40 and the detector 50 is greater than a set threshold, the magnetic sensor cannot sense the magnetic field of the magnet, and it is determined that the upper cover 102 opens the pot body 101. The magnetic sensor controls the first operation component 20 to start and the second operation component 30 to stop. When the distance between the trigger 40 and the detector 50 is less than the set threshold, the magnetic sensor can sense the magnetic field of the magnet, and it is determined that the upper cover 102 closes the pot body 101. The magnetic sensor controls the first operation component 20 to stop and the second operation component 30 to start.

[0077] In some embodiments, the trigger 40 may be disposed on the pot body 101, and the detector 50 may be disposed on the upper cover 102. Of course, in some other embodiments, the detector 50 may be disposed on the pot body 101, and the trigger 40 may be disposed on the upper cover 102.

[0078] Combined with Figure 2 and Figure 4 , in some embodiments, in order to ensure the accuracy of determining whether the upper cover 102 opens or closes the pot body 101, when the upper cover 102 closes the pot body 101, the projections of the trigger 40 and the detector 50 on the pot body 101 at least partially overlap, which can improve the sensitivity of the induction between the trigger 40 and the detector 50.

[0079] In some embodiments, a displacement sensor may be used to replace the trigger 40 and the detector 50. The displacement sensor is electrically connected to the first operation component 20 and the second operation component 30. The displacement sensor is disposed on the upper cover 102 or the pot body 101. Wherein, when the displacement sensor detects that the distance between the cover body 102 and the pot body 101 is greater than the set threshold, the displacement sensor detects an opening signal indicating that the cover body 102 opens the pot body 101, and the controller controls the first operation component 20 to start and the second operation component 30 to stop according to the opening signal. When the displacement sensor detects that the distance between the cover body 102 and the pot body 101 is less than the set threshold, the displacement sensor detects a closing signal indicating that the cover body 102 closes the pot body 101, and the controller controls the first operation component 20 to stop and the second operation component 30 to start according to the closing signal.

[0080] In some embodiments, a microswitch can be used to replace the trigger 40 and the detector 50. The microswitch is electrically connected to the first operation component 20 and the second operation component 30. The microswitch is provided on the upper cover 102 or the pot body 101. Among them, when the microswitch detects that the distance between the cover body 102 and the pot body 101 is greater than a set threshold value, the microswitch detects an open signal for the cover body 102 to open the pot body 101, and the controller controls the first operation component 20 to start and the second operation component 30 to stop according to the open signal. When the microswitch detects that the distance between the cover body 102 and the pot body 101 is less than the set threshold value, the microswitch detects a close signal for the cover body 102 to close the pot body 101, and the controller controls the first operation component 20 to stop and the second operation component 30 to start according to the close signal.

[0081] Of course, in some other embodiments, when the microswitch detects that the distance between the cover body 102 and the pot body 101 is greater than the set threshold value, the microswitch can conduct the circuit of the first operation component 20 and disconnect the circuit of the second operation component 30, controlling the first operation component 20 to start and the second operation component 30 to stop. When the microswitch detects that the distance between the cover body 102 and the pot body 101 is less than the set threshold value, the microswitch can disconnect the circuit of the first operation component 20 and conduct the circuit of the second operation component 30, controlling the first operation component 20 to stop and the second operation component 30 to start.

[0082] In some embodiments, in order to determine whether the upper cover 102 opens or closes the pot body 101, the cover opening detection device 40 includes: an angle sensor. The angle sensor is provided on the pot body 101 or the upper cover 102 and is used to detect the angle between the pot body 101 and the upper cover 102. Among them, when the angle detected by the angle sensor is greater than the set angle value, the first operation component 20 starts and the second operation component 30 stops. When the angle detected by the angle sensor is less than or equal to the set angle value, the first operation component 20 stops and the second operation component 30 starts.

[0083] In some embodiments, when the angle detected by the angle sensor is greater than the set angle value, it is determined that the upper cover 102 opens the pot body 101. The angle sensor is electrically connected to the first operation component 20 and the second operation component 30 to control the first operation component 20 to start and the second operation component 30 to stop. When the angle detected by the angle sensor is less than or equal to the set angle value, it is determined that the upper cover 102 closes the pot body 101. The angle sensor is electrically connected to the first operation component 20 and the second operation component 30 to control the first operation component 20 to stop and the second operation component 30 to start.

[0084] In some embodiments, for the convenience of user operation, the first operation component 20 is provided on the side of the pot body 101, and the second operation component 30 is provided on the top of the upper cover 102.

[0085] In some embodiments, the side portion of the cooking pot body 101 is unobstructed, allowing the first operation component 20 to be exposed for easy user operation, enhancing the user experience. Moreover, there is sufficient space on the side portion of the cooking pot body 101 to accommodate the support base 60, facilitating the installation of the first operation component 20.

[0086] In some embodiments, the first operation component 20 is arranged on the side portion of the cooking pot body 101. When the upper cover 102 opens the cooking pot body 101, it can prevent oil stains inside the cooking pot body 101 from splashing onto the first operation component 20, facilitating the cleaning of the whole machine and further enhancing the user experience.

[0087] In some embodiments, when the second operation component 30 is provided on the upper cover 102 and the first operation component 20 is provided on the cooking pot body 101, the second operation component 30 can control the cooking appliance to perform cooking with the cover closed, and the first operation component 20 can control the cooking appliance to perform frying, stir-frying, deep-frying, sauce reduction, etc.

[0088] In some embodiments, when the upper cover 102 closes the cooking pot body 101, the top of the upper cover 102 is unobstructed, allowing the second operation component 30 to be exposed for easy user operation, enhancing the user experience. At the same time, when the upper cover 102 opens the cooking pot body 101, it can prevent oil stains inside the cooking pot body 101 from splashing onto the second operation component 30, facilitating the cleaning of the whole machine and further enhancing the user experience.

[0089] In some embodiments, to enable the user to know that the first operation component 20 has stopped, the cooking appliance further includes: a reminder. The reminder is provided on the housing 10. Among them, under the condition that the upper cover 102 closes the cooking pot body 101, the reminder is activated, enabling the user to know that the cooking appliance cannot be controlled by the first operation component 20 for cooking.

[0090] In some embodiments, the reminder can be a reminder light and / or an alarm. When the reminder is a reminder light, when the reminder light emits light, the user can see the signal of the reminder light and know that the first operation component 20 has stopped. When the reminder is an alarm, when the alarm emits an alarm sound, the user can hear the alarm sound of the alarm and know that the first operation component 20 has stopped.

[0091] Figure 5 For Figure 1 structural schematic diagram of the support base of the cooking appliance in Figure 6 For Figure 5 cross-sectional view of the support base in. Combining Figure 5 and Figure 6 , in some embodiments, to save space, the cooking appliance further includes: a support base 60 and an opening cover member 70. The support base 60 is provided on the housing 10. The opening cover member 70 and the first operation component 20 are both installed on the support base 60. Among them, the opening cover member 70 can lock the upper cover 102 and the cooking pot body 101.

[0092] In some embodiments, since the support base 60 is provided on the pot body 101 of the housing 10, the support base 60 is supported by the pot body 101 of the housing 10. Since the lid opening member 70 and the first operation assembly 20 are both mounted on the support base 60, the lid opening member 70 and the first operation assembly 20 are supported by the support base 60, so that the lid opening member 70 and the first operation assembly 20 are integrated on one support base 60. That is to say, the lid opening member 70 and the first operation assembly 20 can be combined into a single assembly through the support base 60, effectively utilizing the layout space, reducing the occupation of the external space of the housing 10 to save space. At the same time, only one support base 60 is needed to realize the integration of the lid opening member 70 and the first operation assembly 20, without additionally providing another support base 60, reducing the number of components and lowering the cost.

[0093] In some embodiments, since the lid opening member 70 and the first operation assembly 20 are integrated on one support base 60, only the support base 60 needs to be mounted on the housing 10, reducing the assembly difficulty and improving the assembly efficiency. Moreover, only one mounting hole needs to be opened on the housing 10 to mount the support base 60, instead of opening two mounting holes, reducing the processing difficulty and the processing cost.

[0094] Combined with Figure 6 , to realize the integration of the lid opening member 70 and the first operation assembly 20, the support base 60 includes: a first support portion 601 and a second support portion 602. The first support portion 601 is provided on the housing 10. The second support portion 602 is provided on the housing 10 and is connected to the first support portion 601. Among them, the lid opening member 70 is provided on the first support portion 601, and the first operation assembly 20 is provided on the second support portion 602.

[0095] In some embodiments, the lid opening member 70 is mounted on the first support portion 601, and the lid opening member 70 is supported by the first support portion 601. The first operation assembly 20 is mounted on the second support portion 602, and the first operation assembly 20 is supported by the second support portion 602. Since the second support portion 602 is connected to the first support portion 601, the integration of the lid opening member 70 and the first operation assembly 20 is realized, effectively utilizing the layout space, reducing the occupation of the external space of the housing 10 to save space. At the same time, there is no need to additionally provide another support base, reducing the number of components and lowering the cost.

[0096] In some embodiments, the lid opening member 70 can be disposed within the first support portion 601, and the first operation assembly 20 can be disposed within the second support portion 602, which can prevent the lid opening member 70 and the first operation assembly 20 from protruding beyond the outer surface of the housing 10, ensuring aesthetics. Moreover, the first support portion 601 can protect the lid opening member 70 to ensure its safety, and the second support portion 602 can protect the first operation assembly 20 to ensure its safety. At the same time, it also reduces the possibility of misoperation caused by the lid opening member 70 and the first operation assembly 20 being collided.

[0097] Figure 7 For Figure 5 Schematic diagram of the operation board installed on the support seat. Combining Figure 7 , in some embodiments, in order to prevent the first support portion 601 from affecting wire routing, a wire trough 603 is provided in the second support portion 602, and the projection of the first support portion 601 on the second support portion 602 is at least partially offset from the wire trough 603, so that the cable electrically connected to the first operation assembly 20 can borrow the space at the rear of the first support portion 601 to facilitate the passage of the cable, avoiding interference between the cable and the first support portion 601 and facilitating wire routing.

[0098] In some embodiments, in order to at least partially offset the projection of the first support portion 601 on the second support portion 602 from the wire trough 603, the volume of the first support portion 601 is smaller than the volume of the second support portion 602.

[0099] In some embodiments, to improve the integration degree, the first support portion 601 and the second support portion 602 are integrally formed, so that the lid opening member 70 and the first operation assembly 20 can be combined into a single assembly through the first support portion 601 and the second support portion 602, effectively utilizing the layout space and reducing the occupation of the external space of the housing 10 to save space. At the same time, there is no need to separately provide a support seat, reducing the number of components and lowering the cost.

[0100] When the operation board 202 of the first operation assembly 20 uses a narrow board (aspect ratio ≥ 3, width ≤ 30 mm), after the cable is installed on the operation board 202, under the action of gravity, the operation board 202 will tilt, affecting the assembly of the operation board 202. Figure 10 For Figure 9 Exploded view of. Combining Figure 6 and Figure 10 , in some embodiments, to improve the assembly efficiency, the first operation assembly 20 includes an operation interface 201 and an operation board 202 connected to the operation interface 201. The operation board 202 has a wiring port 203. A limiting member 80 is provided in the support seat 60. The wiring port 203 and the limiting member 80 are respectively located on opposite sides of the operation board 202. Among them, the operation board 202 can be in contact with the limiting member 80.

[0101] In some embodiments, after the cable is connected to the connection port 203, the operation board 202 is installed on the support base 60. Under the action of the gravity of the cable, the operation board 202 can abut against the limiting member 80, so that the limiting member 80 provides a force opposite to the gravity of the cable to prevent the operation board 202 from tipping over, facilitating the installation of the operation board 202 and improving the assembly efficiency.

[0102] Combined with Figure 7 , in some embodiments, in order to enable the limiting member 80 to abut against the operation board 202, the projections of the limiting member 80 and the operation board 202 on the operation interface 201 partially overlap.

[0103] In some embodiments, under the action of the gravity of the cable, the operation board 202 can abut against the limiting member 80, so that the limiting member 80 provides a force opposite to the gravity of the cable to prevent the operation board 202 from tipping over, facilitating the installation of the operation board 202 and improving the assembly efficiency.

[0104] In some embodiments, in order to prevent the limiting member 80 from being unable to withstand the operation board 202, the overlapping amount of the projections of the limiting member 80 and the operation board 202 on the operation interface 201 is greater than or equal to 0.8 mm. Under the action of the gravity of the cable, it can be ensured that the operation board 202 can fully abut against the limiting member 80, so that the limiting member 80 provides a force opposite to the gravity of the cable to prevent the operation board 202 from tipping over, facilitating the installation of the operation board 202 and improving the assembly efficiency.

[0105] Combined with Figure 7 , in some embodiments, in order to improve the assembly efficiency of the operation board 202, a support member 150 is provided in the support base 60. The operation board 202 is located between the limiting member 80 and the support member 150. The operation board 202 is supported by the support member 150, and the operation board 602 is limited under the action of the limiting member 80 and the support member 150, facilitating the installation of the operation board 202.

[0106] In some embodiments, in order to further improve the assembly efficiency of the operation board 202, the gap between the support member 150 and the limiting member 80 is greater than the thickness of the operation board 202, so that the operation board 202 can be inserted between the support member 150 and the limiting member 80, facilitating the installation of the operation board 202.

[0107] Combined with Figure 10, in some embodiments, to facilitate the operation interface 201 to transfer force to the operation board 202, the first operation component 20 further includes: an operation box 204. The operation box 204 is disposed between the operation interface 201 and the operation board 202 and is connected to the operation interface 201. When the operation interface 201 is pressed, the force is transferred by the operation box 204 to the operation board 202, so that the operation board 202 performs corresponding function control on the cooking appliance. Among them, the operation interface 201 can be bonded to the operation box 204 to support the operation interface 201.

[0108] In some embodiments, the material of the operation box 204 can be a soft material, such as plastic, rubber, etc., so as to facilitate the transfer of force to the operation board 202.

[0109] Figure 8 For Figure 1 Cross-sectional view of the cooking appliance; Figure 9 For Figure 8 Schematic diagram of the arrangement of the pusher of the cooking appliance in. In combination Figure 8 , Figure 9 And Figure 10 , in some embodiments, to separate the upper cover 102 from the pot body 101, when the support seat 60 is disposed on the pot body 101, the cooking appliance further includes: a first connecting member 90, a pusher 100, and a second connecting member 110. The first connecting member 90 is disposed on the upper cover 102. The pusher 100 is movably disposed in the pot body 101, and the push rod of the lid opening member passes through the support seat and abuts against the pusher 100. One end of the second connecting member 110 is rotatably disposed on the pot body 101, the other end can abut against the pusher 100, and is detachably connected to the first connecting member 90. Among them, under the condition that the lid opening member 70 pushes the pusher 100, the second connecting member 110 can be separated from the first connecting member 90.

[0110] In some embodiments, when the upper cover 102 is to be opened on the pot body 101, the lid opening member 70 is pressed, and the lid opening member 70 slides in the support seat 60, so that the push rod 701 of the lid opening member 70 pushes the pusher 100 to rotate in the pot body 01, and the pusher 100 pushes the second connecting member 110 to rotate on the pot body 101, so that the second connecting member 110 is separated from the first connecting member 90, and the upper cover 102 can be opened on the pot body 101. When the upper cover 102 is to be locked on the pot body 101, the second connecting member 110 is connected to the first connecting member 90, and the upper cover 102 can be locked on the pot body 101.

[0111] In some embodiments, the pusher 100 is rotatably disposed in the pot body 101. Of course, in some other embodiments, the pusher 100 is slidably disposed in the pot body 101.

[0112] In combination Figure 8 , Figure 9 AndFigure 10 , in some embodiments, to facilitate the locking of the upper cover 102 and the pot body 101 by the lid opening member 70, the lid opening member 70 and the pushing member 100 are located between the upper cover 102 and the first operating assembly 20.

[0113] In some embodiments, to facilitate the locking of the upper cover 102 and the pot body 101 by the lid opening member 70, when the support base 60 is provided on the pot body 101, the lid opening member 70 and the pushing member 100 are located above the first operating assembly 20, so that the lid opening member 70 is closer to the upper cover 102 than the first operating assembly 20, such that the lid opening member 70 is not blocked by the first operating assembly 20, and it is easy for the lid opening member 70 to lock the upper cover 102 and the pot body 101. At the same time, it is also convenient for the arrangement of the lid opening member 70 and the first operating assembly 20.

[0114] Of course, in some other embodiments, when the support base 60 is provided on the upper cover 102, the lid opening member 70 and the pushing member 100 are located below the first operating assembly 20, so that the lid opening member 70 is closer to the upper pot body 101 than the first operating assembly 20, such that the lid opening member 70 is not blocked by the first operating assembly 20, facilitating the lid opening member 70 to lock the upper cover 102 and the pot body 101. At the same time, it is also convenient for the arrangement of the lid opening member 70 and the first operating assembly 20.

[0115] Combined with Figure 8 、 Figure 9 and Figure 10 , in some embodiments, for the sake of effort saving, the second connecting member 110 includes: a locking member 1101 and a first buckle member 1102. One end of the locking member 1101 is rotatably provided on the pot body 101, and the other end can be in contact with the pushing member 100. The first buckle member 1102 is detachably connected to the first connecting member 90. Wherein, the distance between the pushing member 100 and the first buckle member 1102 is less than the distance between the pushing member 100 and the rotation point of the locking member 1101.

[0116] In some embodiments, when opening the upper cover 102 on the pot body 101, the pushing member 100 pushes the second connecting member 110 to rotate on the pot body 101. Since the distance between the pushing member 100 and the first buckle member 1102 is less than the distance between the pushing member 100 and the rotation point of the locking member 1101, according to the lever principle, it can save effort, facilitate user operation, and improve the user experience.

[0117] Combined with Figure 2 , in some embodiments, a slot 901 is formed on the first connecting member 90, and the first buckle member 1102 can be clamped in the slot 901. When the upper cover 102 is locked with the pot body 101, the first buckle member 1102 is clamped in the slot 901. When the upper cover 102 is separated from the pot body 101, the first buckle member 1102 is separated from the slot 901.

[0118] In some embodiments, a rotating shaft is provided on both sides of the end of the locking member 1101 away from the first locking member 1102 , and the rotating shaft is rotatably connected to the locking member 1101 and the pot body 101 , so that the locking member 1101 can rotate smoothly in the pot body 101 .

[0119] Combination Figure 8 , Figure 9 and Figure 10 In some embodiments, in order to save effort, the pusher 100 includes: a resistance part 1001, a pushing part 1002 and a rotating part 1103. The resistance part 1001 is in resistance with the push rod 701. The pushing part 1002 is connected to the resistance part 1001 and can be in resistance with the second connecting member 110. The rotating part 1103 is rotatably connected to the resistance part 1001 and the pot body 102. Among them, the pushing part 1002 is located between the push rod 701 and the rotating part 1103, and the distance between the pushing part 1002 and the rotating part 1103 is smaller than the distance between the pushing part 1002 and the push rod 701.

[0120] In some embodiments, when the upper cover 102 is to be opened on the pot body 101, the cover opening member 70 is pressed, and the cover opening member 70 slides in the support seat 60, so that the push rod 701 of the cover opening member 70 pushes the resistance part 1001, and the push rod rotating part 1103 of the resistance part 1001 rotates in the pot body 102. At this time, the pushing part 1002 pushes the second connecting member 110. Since the pushing part 1002 is located between the pushing rod 701 and the rotating part 1103, the distance between the pushing part 1002 and the rotating part 1103 is smaller than the distance between the pushing part 1002 and the pushing rod 701. According to the principle of leverage, it can save effort, facilitate user operation, and improve user experience.

[0121] In some embodiments, for ease of arrangement, the pusher 100 is located outside the support seat 60 , and the pusher 100 is located between the support seat 60 and the second connecting member 110 , so that the structure is compact, space is saved, and force transmission is facilitated.

[0122] In some embodiments, in order to achieve the connection between the cover opening member 70 and the support seat 60, a second latching member 702 is provided on the cover opening member 70, and a through slot is provided on the support seat 60, and the second latching member 702 is latched in the through slot.

[0123] In some embodiments, an avoidance hole 1004 is opened on the resistance part 1001. When the cover opening member 70 is pressed, the second latch member 702 can be inserted into the avoidance hole 1004 to facilitate the movement of the cover opening member 70. At the same time, the structure can be compact and space saving can be ensured.

[0124] Combination Figure 10, in some embodiments, to facilitate the connection between the rotating part 1103 and the pot body 101, the locking part 1101 is provided with an avoidance groove 1103. The rotating part 1101 passes through the avoidance groove 1103 and is connected to the pot body 101. At the same time, the structure can be ensured to be compact and space can be saved.

[0125] Combined with Figure 10 , in some embodiments, to facilitate the pushing part 1002 to push the second connecting part 110, the locking part 1101 is provided with a receiving groove 1104. Part of the pushing part 1002 is arranged in the receiving groove 1104 and can be in contact with the groove wall of the receiving groove 1104, so that the pushing part 1002 can transmit the force to the locking part 1101. At the same time, the structure can be ensured to be compact and space can be saved.

[0126] In some embodiments, to realize the reset of the lid opening part 70, the cooking appliance further includes: a first reset part 120. The first reset part 120 is arranged in the support seat 60. One end of the first reset part 120 is in contact with or connected to the lid opening part 70, and the other end is in contact with or connected to the inner wall of the support seat 60. Among them, the first reset part 120 can be a spring.

[0127] In some embodiments, when the lid opening part 70 is pressed, the lid opening part 70 compresses the first reset part 120. When the lid opening part 70 is not pressed, the first reset part 120 extends to push the lid opening part 70 to reset.

[0128] In some embodiments, to ensure the stability of the action of the first reset part 120, the first reset part 120 can be sleeved on the push rod 701 to guide and limit the action of the first reset part 120 through the push rod 701.

[0129] Combined with Figure 10 , in some embodiments, to realize the reset of the first connecting part 100, the cooking appliance further includes: a second reset part 130. One end of the second reset part 130 is in contact with or connected to the second connecting part 110, and the other end is in contact with or connected to the pot body 101. Among them, the second reset part 130 can be a spring.

[0130] In some embodiments, when the pushing part 100 pushes the second connecting part 110, the second connecting part 110 compresses the second reset part 130. When the pushing part 100 does not push the second connecting part 110, the second reset part 130 extends to push the second connecting part 110 to reset.

[0131] Combined with Figure 10 , in some embodiments, to improve the user experience, the cooking appliance further includes: a balancing part 140. The balancing part 140 is arranged in the support seat 60. Part of the balancing part 140 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the support seat 60, and the other part can be clamped on the lid opening part 70.

[0132] In some embodiments, when pressing the lid-opening member 70, any position of the lid-opening member 70 can be pressed. Through the balancing member 140, the lid-opening member 70 moves as a whole within the support base 60 without tilting, improving the user experience.

[0133] Combined with Figure 5 and Figure 6 , in some embodiments, to improve the user experience, the cooking appliance further includes: a support base 60. The support base 60 is provided on the housing 10 and is provided with a first groove 604. Among them, the first operation component 20 is disposed in the first groove 604 and is inclined. There is a gap between the first operation component 20 and the opening 605 of the first groove 604.

[0134] In some embodiments, since the support base 60 is provided on the pot body 101 of the housing 10 and is provided with a first groove 604, the support base 60 is supported by the pot body 101 of the housing 10. Since the first operation component 20 is disposed in the first groove 604 and is inclined, the first operation component 20 is arranged in a concave shape, making the first operation component 20 form a certain angle with the contour of the pot body 101 of the housing 10, facilitating the user to clearly see the first operation component 20. At the same time, when the user applies force to operate the first operation component 20, there is a downward component force, so that the housing 10 will not move backward, improving the user experience.

[0135] In some embodiments, since there is a gap between the first operation component 20 and the opening 605 of the first groove 604, the first groove 604 can fully accommodate the first operation component 20. That is to say, the first operation component 20 is completely disposed in the first groove 604, which can prevent the first operation component 20 from protruding from the outer surface of the housing 10 or being flush with the outer surface of the housing 10, ensuring aesthetics. Moreover, the groove wall of the first groove 604 can protect the first operation component 20 to ensure the safety of the first operation component 20. At the same time, it also reduces the possibility of the first operation component 20 being collided and causing misoperation.

[0136] In some embodiments, in order for the first operation component 20 to be inclined and disposed in the first groove 604, the distance between the top of the first operation component 20 and the opening 605 of the first groove 604 is greater than the distance between the bottom of the first operation component 20 and the opening 605 of the first groove 604.

[0137] Combined with Figure 6, in some embodiments, the distance between the top of the first operating component 20 and the opening 605 of the first groove 604 is greater than the distance between the bottom of the first operating component 20 and the opening 605 of the first groove 604. That is to say, the bottom of the first operating component 20 is closer to the opening 605 than the top of the first operating component 20, making the first operating component 20 form a certain angle with the contour of the housing 10, facilitating the user to clearly see the first operating component 20. At the same time, when the user applies a force to operate the first operating component 20, there is a downward component force, so that the housing 10 will not move backward, improving the user experience.

[0138] In some embodiments, in order for the first operating component 20 to be inclined and arranged in the first groove 604, the first operating component 20 is arranged at an angle with the opening 605 of the first groove 604, and the angle is 5° to 30°, facilitating the user to clearly see the first operating component 20. At the same time, when the user applies a force to operate the first operating component 20, there is a downward component force, so that the housing 10 will not move backward, improving the user experience. Among them, the opening 605 of the first groove 604 can be in the vertical direction or a direction slightly inclined to the vertical direction.

[0139] Combined Figure 6 , in some embodiments, the first groove 604 has a first section 6041 and a second section 6042 connected to the first section 6041. The opening 605 of the first groove 604 is located on the end face of the first section 6041 facing away from the second section 6042. The operation interface 201 is inclined and arranged in the first section 6041, and the operation plate 202 is arranged in the second section 6042

[0140] In some embodiments, the operation interface 201 is installed in the first section 6041 through the opening 605 of the first groove 604, facilitating the installation of the operation interface 201. Moreover, it can prevent the operation interface 201 from protruding from the outer surface of the housing 10, ensuring aesthetics. At the same time, the first section 6041 can protect the operation interface 201 to ensure the safety of the operation interface 201, and also reduce the possibility of misoperation caused by the collision between the opening cover member 30 and the first operating component 20.

[0141] In some embodiments, in order for the operation interface 201 to be able to be in contact with the operation plate 202, the operation plate 202 is also inclined and arranged in the second section 6042 to ensure that the force on the operation interface 201 can be fully transmitted to the operation plate 202, ensuring the user experience.

[0142] In some embodiments, the operation plate 202 is installed in the second section 6042, and the second section 6042 can protect the operation plate 202 to ensure the safety of the operation plate 202.

[0143] In some embodiments, the operation interface 201 is inclined and disposed within the first section 6041, such that the operation interface 201 forms a certain angle with the contour of the housing 10, facilitating the user to clearly view the operation interface 201. At the same time, when the user applies a force to operate the operation interface 201 through the opening 605 of the first groove 604, there is a downward component force, preventing the housing 10 from moving backward and enhancing the user experience.

[0144] Combined with Figure 6 , in some embodiments, to ensure the stability of the installation of the operation interface 201, there is a support surface 6043 between the first section 6041 and the second section 6042. The operation interface 201 abuts against the support surface 6043, providing support for the operation interface 201. At the same time, the operation interface 201 can be limited through the support surface 6043, facilitating the installation of the operation interface 201.

[0145] Combined with Figure 6 , in some embodiments, to prevent external water from entering the second section 6042, a water guide groove 606 is formed on the support surface 6043. Water is guided through the water guide groove 606, preventing the operation board 202 from short - circuiting and ensuring the safety of the operation board 202.

[0146] In some embodiments, when external water stains enter the first section 6041, water is guided through the water guide groove 606 to drain the water, preventing external water from entering the second section 6042 and causing the operation board 202 to short - circuit, ensuring the safety of the operation board 202.

[0147] Combined with Figure 6 , in some embodiments, to further prevent external water from entering the second section 6042, a seal 607 is provided between the operation interface 201 and the support surface 6043. The seal 607 is disposed between the water guide groove 606 and the second section 6042. Double waterproofing is achieved through the seal 607 and the water guide groove 606, preventing the operation board 202 from short - circuiting and ensuring the safety of the operation board 202.

[0148] In some embodiments, when external water stains enter the first section 6041, water is guided through the water guide groove 606 to drain the water. At the same time, sealing is achieved through the seal 607, fully preventing external water from entering the second section 6042 and causing the operation board 202 to short - circuit, fully ensuring the safety of the operation board 202. At the same time, external impurities are also prevented from entering the second section 6042, ensuring the cleanliness of the second section 6042.

[0149] Combined with Figure 6, in some embodiments, a second groove 608 is formed in the support base 20, and the lid opening member 50 is disposed in the second groove 608. To make full use of the space inside the support base 20, the second groove 608 and the projection of the first section 6041 on the support base 20 at least partially overlap, so as to facilitate the arrangement of the lid opening member 50 and the control interface 301. At the same time, the cable electrically connected to the first operation component 20 can utilize the space at the rear of the second groove 608, so as to facilitate the passage of the cable and avoid interference between the cable and the groove wall of the first groove 604, thus facilitating wiring.

[0150] Based on the same inventive concept, the present application further provides a cooking control method, which is applied to a cooking appliance. The cooking appliance includes a housing 10, a first operation component 20, and a second operation component 30. The housing 10 includes a cooking pot body 101 and an upper lid 102 that can open and close the cooking pot body 101. The first operation component 20 is disposed on the cooking pot body 101, and the second operation component 30 is disposed on the upper lid 102. The cooking control method includes the following steps:

[0151] Step S1, in response to an opening signal for the upper lid 102 to open the cooking pot body 101.

[0152] Step S2, control the first operation component 20 to start working and the second operation component 30 to stop working according to the opening signal.

[0153] Step S3, in response to a closing signal for the upper lid 102 to close the cooking pot body 101.

[0154] Step S4, control the first operation component 20 to stop working and the second operation component 30 to start working according to the closing signal.

[0155] In some embodiments, when frying, stir-frying, deep-frying, or reducing the juice of ingredients, the upper lid 102 needs to open the cooking pot body 101 to generate an opening signal. At this time, it is not easy for the user to operate the second operation component 30 on the upper lid 102. Therefore, according to the opening signal, control the first operation component 20 to start working and the second operation component 30 to stop working, and control the cooking appliance to cook through the first operation component 20, so as to facilitate the user's operation. At the same time, it avoids the user from misoperating the second operation component 30 and ensures the normal progress of cooking. When cooking with the lid closed for the ingredients, the upper lid 102 needs to close the cooking pot body 101 to generate a closing signal. At this time, compared with the first operation component 20 on the cooking pot body 101, it is easier for the user to operate the second operation component 30 on the upper lid 102. Therefore, according to the closing signal, control the second operation component 30 to start working and the first operation component 20 to stop working, and control the cooking appliance to cook through the second operation component 30, so as to facilitate the user's operation. At the same time, it avoids the user from misoperating the first operation component 20 and ensures the normal progress of cooking.

[0156] In some embodiments, since the cooking appliance includes a first operation component 20 and a second operation component 30, the second operation component 30 is supported by the upper cover 102. The first operation component 20 and the second operation component 30 can be respectively responsible for inputting selection signals for different cooking functions of the cooking appliance, enabling the user to more conveniently control and adjust the cooking process. Also, through the coordinated work of the first operation component 20 and the second operation component 30, the user can simultaneously implement multiple cooking functions, expanding the functions of the cooking appliance, improving cooking efficiency and quality, and enhancing the user experience.

[0157] In some embodiments, to enable the user to know that the first operation component 20 stops, the cooking control method further includes: controlling the generation of a prompt signal according to the closing signal, and sending out a failure message indicating that the first operation component 20 fails, so that the user knows that the cooking appliance cannot be controlled for cooking through the first operation component 20.

[0158] In some embodiments, to stop the second operation component 30, the second operation component 30 is controlled to cut off power or enter the standby state according to the opening signal, so as to prevent the user from operating the second operation component 30. At the same time, the energy consumption can be reduced.

[0159] In some embodiments, to stop the first operation component 20, the first operation component 20 is controlled to cut off power or enter the standby state according to the closing signal, so as to prevent the user from operating the first operation component 20. At the same time, the energy consumption can be reduced.

[0160] Based on the same inventive concept, the present application further provides a cooking control method, which is applied to a cooking appliance. The cooking appliance includes a housing 10, a first operation component 20, and a second operation component 30. The housing 10 includes a pot body 101 and an upper cover 102 that can open and close the pot body 101. The first operation component 20 is disposed on the pot body 101, and the second operation component 30 is disposed on the upper cover 102. The cooking control method includes:

[0161] Step S5, in response to an opening signal for the upper cover 102 to open the pot body 101.

[0162] Step S6, controlling the termination of the cooking mode corresponding to the second operation component 30 according to the opening signal. And / or,

[0163] Step S7, in response to a closing signal for the upper cover 102 to close the pot body 101.

[0164] Step S8, controlling the termination of the cooking mode corresponding to the first operation component 20 according to the closing signal.

[0165] In some embodiments, when the upper cover 102 closes the cooking pot body 101, the cooking appliance performs the cooking mode corresponding to the second operation component 30, that is, the cooking appliance performs cooking with the cover closed. At this time, the heater of the cooking appliance operates according to the cooking mode with the cover closed. When the upper cover 102 opens the cooking pot body 101, an opening signal is generated. At this time, according to the opening signal, the cooking mode corresponding to the second operation component 30 is controlled to terminate. That is to say, the cooking with the cover closed of the cooking appliance terminates, and the heater of the cooking appliance stops heating.

[0166] In some embodiments, when the upper cover 102 opens the cooking pot body 101, the cooking appliance performs the cooking mode corresponding to the first operation component 20, that is, the cooking appliance fries, stir-fries, deep-fries, reduces the sauce, etc. for the ingredients. At this time, the heater of the cooking appliance operates according to the modes such as frying, stir-frying, deep-frying, and reducing the sauce. When the upper cover 102 closes the cooking pot body 101, a closing signal is generated. At this time, according to the closing signal, the cooking mode corresponding to the first operation component 20 is controlled to terminate. That is to say, the frying, stir-frying, deep-frying, reducing the sauce, etc. of the cooking appliance terminate, and the heater of the cooking appliance stops heating.

[0167] In some embodiments, since the cooking appliance includes the first operation component 20 and the second operation component 30, the second operation component 30 is supported by the upper cover 102. The first operation component 20 and the second operation component 30 can be respectively responsible for inputting selection signals for different cooking functions of the cooking appliance, enabling the user to more conveniently control and adjust the cooking process. Also, through the coordinated work of the first operation component 20 and the second operation component 30, the user can simultaneously implement multiple cooking functions, expanding the functions of the cooking appliance, improving the cooking efficiency and quality, and enhancing the user experience.

[0168] Based on the same inventive concept, the present application also provides a cooking control method, which is applied to a cooking appliance. The cooking appliance includes a housing 10, a first operation component 20, and a second operation component 30. The housing 10 includes a cooking pot body 101 and an upper cover 102 that can open and close the cooking pot body 101. The first operation component 20 is disposed on the cooking pot body 101, and the second operation component 30 is disposed on the upper cover 102. The cooking control method includes:

[0169] Step S9, in response to an opening signal for the upper cover 102 to open the cooking pot body 101.

[0170] Step S10, according to the opening signal, control the termination of the cooking mode corresponding to the second operation component 30, control the first operation component 20 to start working, and the second operation component 30 to stop working.

[0171] Step S11, in response to a closing signal for the upper cover 102 to close the cooking pot body 101.

[0172] Step S12: Control the termination of the cooking mode corresponding to the first operation component 20 according to the closing signal, control the first operation component 20 to stop working, and start the second operation component 30 to work.

[0173] In some embodiments, when frying, stir-frying, deep-frying, or reducing the sauce of ingredients, the upper cover 102 needs to open the pot body 101. At this time, it is not easy for the user to operate the second operation component 30 on the upper cover 102. Therefore, start the first operation component 20 and stop the second operation component 30, which is convenient for the user to select the cooking mode corresponding to the first operation component 20 through the first operation component 20 and start the cooking appliance for cooking. At the same time, it avoids the user accidentally operating the second operation component 30 and ensures the normal progress of cooking. If when the upper cover 102 needs to open the pot body 101, the cooking appliance is in the cooking mode corresponding to the second operation component 30, that is, the cooking appliance is performing covered cooking, at this time, the heater of the cooking appliance works according to the covered cooking mode. When the upper cover 102 opens the pot body 101, an opening signal is generated. At this time, control the termination of the cooking mode corresponding to the second operation component 30 according to the opening signal, that is, the covered cooking of the cooking appliance terminates, the heater of the cooking appliance stops heating, and at the same time, start the first operation component 20 and stop the second operation component 30.

[0174] In some embodiments, when performing covered cooking on ingredients, the upper cover 102 needs to close the pot body 101. At this time, compared with the first operation component 20 on the pot body 101, it is easier for the user to operate the second operation component 30 on the upper cover 102. Therefore, start the second operation component 30 and stop the first operation component 20, which is convenient for the user to select the cooking mode corresponding to the second operation component 30 through the second operation component 30 and start the cooking appliance for cooking. At the same time, it avoids the user accidentally operating the first operation component 20 and ensures the normal progress of cooking. If when the upper cover 102 needs to close the pot body 101, the cooking appliance is in the cooking mode corresponding to the first operation component 20, that is, the cooking appliance is frying, stir-frying, deep-frying, or reducing the sauce of ingredients, at this time, the heater of the cooking appliance works according to the modes of frying, stir-frying, deep-frying, or reducing the sauce. When the upper cover 102 closes the pot body 101, a closing signal is generated. At this time, control the termination of the cooking mode corresponding to the first operation component 20 according to the closing signal, that is, the frying, stir-frying, deep-frying, or reducing the sauce of the cooking appliance terminates, the heater of the cooking appliance stops heating, and at the same time, start the first operation component 20 and stop the second operation component 30.

[0175] In some embodiments, since the cooking appliance includes a first operation component 20 and a second operation component 30, the second operation component 30 is supported by the upper cover 102. The first operation component 20 and the second operation component 30 can be respectively responsible for inputting selection signals of different cooking functions of the cooking appliance, enabling the user to more conveniently control and adjust the cooking process. Also, through the collaborative work of the first operation component 20 and the second operation component 30, the user can simultaneously implement multiple cooking functions, expanding the functions of the cooking appliance, improving cooking efficiency and quality, and enhancing the user experience.
