[0035] It should be noted that, without conflict, the embodiments in the present application and the features in the embodiments may be combined with each other. The present application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and in combination with the embodiments.

[0036] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the solution of the present application, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without making creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present application.

[0037] For the sake of brevity, the present disclosure only specifically discloses some numerical ranges. However, any lower limit can be combined with any upper limit to form a range not explicitly recorded; and any lower limit can be combined with other lower limits to form a range not explicitly recorded. Similarly, any upper limit can be combined with any other upper limit to form a range not explicitly recorded. In addition, each separately disclosed point or single numerical value itself can be used as a lower limit or an upper limit to be combined with any other point or single numerical value or with other lower limits or upper limits to form a range not explicitly recorded.

[0038] In the present disclosure, the term "comprising", "including" or any other variant thereof is intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, so that a process, method, article or device including a series of elements not only includes those elements, but also includes other elements not explicitly listed, or further includes elements inherent to such process, method, article or device. Without further limitation, the element defined by the statement "including one..." does not exclude the existence of additional identical elements in the process, method, article or device including the said element.

[0039] In the description of the present disclosure, unless otherwise specified, "above" and "below" include the corresponding number.

[0040] Unless otherwise specified, the terms used in this disclosure have the well-known meanings commonly understood by those skilled in the art. Unless otherwise specified, the numerical values of the various parameters mentioned in this disclosure can be measured by various commonly used measurement methods in the art (for example, they can be tested according to the methods given in the embodiments of this disclosure).

[0041] The term "about" is used to describe and account for small variations. When used in conjunction with an event or circumstance, the term can refer to instances where the event or circumstance occurs precisely and instances where it occurs very nearly. For example, when used in conjunction with a numerical value, the term can refer to a range of variation of ±10% less than or equal to the numerical value, such as less than or equal to ±5%, less than or equal to ±4%, less than or equal to ±3%, less than or equal to ±2%, less than or equal to ±1%, less than or equal to ±0.5%, less than or equal to ±0.1%, or less than or equal to ±0.05%. Additionally, sometimes in this disclosure, quantities, ratios, and other numerical values are presented in a range format. It should be understood that such range formats are for convenience and brevity and should be understood flexibly to include not only the numerical values explicitly specified as range limits but also all individual numerical values or sub-ranges subsumed within the said range as if each numerical value and sub-range were explicitly specified.

[0042] A list of items joined by the terms "at least one of", "at least one in", "at least one kind in", or other similar terms can mean any combination of the listed items. For example, if items A and B are listed, then the phrase "at least one of A and B" means only A; only B; or A and B. In another example, if items A, B, and C are listed, then the phrase "at least one of A, B, and C" means only A; or only B; only C; A and B (excluding C); A and C (excluding B); B and C (excluding A); or all of A, B, and C. Item A can include a single component or multiple components. Item B can include a single component or multiple components. Item C can include a single component or multiple components.

[0043] In this disclosure, the metal sheet used has a double-layer structure, with the outer layer being an aluminum alloy layer for heat conduction transfer and the inner layer being a stainless steel layer in contact with food.

[0044] In this disclosure, the metal sheet used has a double-layer structure, with the outer layer being an aluminum alloy layer for heat conduction transfer and the inner layer being a stainless steel layer in contact with food.

[0045] As Figures 1 to 4 shown, this application provides a surface structure of an inner container after deep physical sandblasting treatment and a cooking appliance including the inner container, which includes: an inner container body 1, a bottom of the inner container body 1 is provided with a bottom 2, and a folding edge 3 is provided outside the top of the inner container body 1;

[0046] Specifically, asFigure 3 and Figure 4 As shown in Figure 4 , the outer wall 4 of the inner container is disposed outside the inner container body 1, and the outer wall 4 of the inner container is integrally connected to the bottom 2 of the inner container.

[0047] A non-stick protection component is disposed inside the inner container body 1, and the non-stick protection component includes the outer wall 4 of the inner container. A first heat transfer surface 6 is disposed outside the outer wall 4 of the inner container, and a heat transfer contact point 10 is disposed inside the outer wall 4 of the inner container. A capillary support end 12 is disposed inside the heat transfer contact point 10. The non-stick protection component is used to improve the anti-sticking effect of the inner container body 1;

[0048] Specifically, as Figure 1 and Figure 2 shown, an inner wall 5 of the inner container is disposed inside the inner container body 1. A high-temperature deposition groove 9 is disposed inside the inner wall 5 of the inner container, and the heat transfer contact point 10 is disposed inside the high-temperature deposition groove 9. The gap surface between the heat transfer contact point 10 and the high-temperature deposition groove 9 is like a net in the pot. After the rice slurry is deposited and shrunk at the bottom, the outer surface is kept at a constant temperature and moves in the mesh gap, so that the rice slurry baked at a constant temperature forms a crust, and under the penetration of heat energy, it breathes and falls off, achieving a non-stick effect.

[0049] Specifically, as Figure 1 and Figure 2 shown, a diamond etching groove 11 is disposed on the top wall of the bottom 2 of the inner container. The capillary support end 12 is disposed inside the diamond etching groove 11. The diamond etching groove 11 is further subjected to deep physical treatment by sandblasting with 80-mesh abrasive + 120-mesh glass sand inside to obtain the capillary support end 12, and the contact area between the bottom 2 of the inner container and the rice is reduced through the capillary support end 12.

[0050] A heat dispersion component is disposed at the bottom end of the inner container body 1, and the heat dispersion component includes a heat deposition diffusion groove 7. A high-temperature deposition groove 9 is disposed inside the heat deposition diffusion groove 7. The heat dispersion component is used for the diffusion of the bottom heating temperature.

[0051] Specifically, as Figure 3 and Figure 4 shown, a groove is disposed at the bottom end of the bottom 2 of the inner container. The groove is used to increase the heating area. The bottom of the bottom 2 of the inner container is slightly convex. Through the arcuate setting, the bottom 2 of the inner container can be prevented from directly contacting the heat source, so that the temperature conduction is more uniform, and the inner wall of the bottom 2 is prevented from turning black and yellow due to local heating and being difficult to clean.

[0052] The present disclosure will be further described below in conjunction with embodiments.

[0053] It should be understood that these embodiments are only used to illustrate the present disclosure and not to limit the scope of the present disclosure.
