Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of cooking equipment, and in particular, to a cooking equipment. Background Art

[0002] During the use of cooking utensils by users, it is necessary to manually add water, which causes inconvenience to users. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The present invention aims to solve one of the technical problems existing in the prior art or related technologies.

[0004] In view of this, the present invention provides a cooking equipment, including: a base; a cookware disposed on the base; a heating member connected to the base or the cookware, the heating member being configured to heat the cookware; a water inlet assembly connected to the cookware, a first part of the water inlet assembly extending into the cookware, and a water outlet being provided at the bottom of the first part; wherein, the cookware has a central axis L1, the minimum distance between the water outlet and the side wall of the cookware is H1, and the minimum distance between the water outlet and the central axis L1 is H2, and H1 < H2.

[0005] The heating member is configured to heat the cookware so that the cookware can cook food materials. When water needs to be injected into the cookware, the water inlet assembly can be used to automatically inject water into the cookware. Specifically, the water inlet assembly is configured to connect to a water source. Before or during the cooking process, water can be injected into the cookware through the water inlet assembly, eliminating the need for manual water addition, improving the intelligence of the cooking equipment, and providing convenience for users.

[0006] The water inlet assembly has an automatic water inlet function. During cooking processes such as steaming and boiling, the water inlet volume per unit time can be controlled through the water inlet assembly, and the water inlet rate can be controlled through a program, so that there is a small amount of water in the cookware. The small amount of water can quickly generate steam, and can avoid generating excessive steam, reducing energy waste and the impact of a large amount of steam escaping on the cooking environment, which is beneficial to improving the cooking rate of food materials and the user experience. Moreover, since the steam is generated relatively quickly inside the cookware, the steam can quickly fill the inside of the cookware, making the temperature inside the cookware relatively high and reducing the generation of condensed water.

[0007] The water outlet is close to the side wall of the cookware. When water is injected into the cookware from the water outlet, the water flow discharged from the water outlet is not likely to contact the food materials in the cookware. Especially when grilling food materials, the water flows into the edge area at the bottom of the cookware, reducing the soaking of the food materials and preventing the cooking taste of the food materials from being affected, which is beneficial to improving the user experience of the cooking utensils.

[0008] In addition, according to the cooking equipment provided by the above technical solution of the present invention, the following additional technical features may also be provided:

[0009] In some technical solutions, optionally, the shortest connection from the opening of the cookware to the bottom of the cookware is set as L3. It is set that L3 passes through the water outlet, and the water outlet has a center line L2. There is an included angle α between L3 and L2, where 0° ≤ α ≤ 30°.

[0010] The water outlet can discharge water into the cookware. If the inclination angle of the water outlet is relatively large, the water outlet will spray water towards the ingredients. Therefore, in order to reduce the area where the water sprays towards the middle of the ingredients, the inclination angle of the water outlet is limited to be less than or equal to 30°, so that the water is not likely to contact the ingredients, thereby avoiding soaking the ingredients with water.

[0011] In order to improve the utilization efficiency of the heat of the cookware and prevent water from directly contacting the ingredients and affecting the cooking effect, the water inlet assembly extends at least partially into the cookware. The opening direction of the water outlet faces downward, and the angle with the vertical direction is controlled within 0° to 30°. In this way, when water enters the cookware, the water can directly contact the high-temperature surface of the cookware and evaporate quickly, and will not directly contact the ingredients. The shape and size of the water outlet are not restricted, as long as it can achieve the function of smoothly discharging water into the cookware.

[0012] Within the above angle range, the water can directly contact the high-temperature surface of the cookware to generate steam, which is beneficial to increasing the generation speed of steam.

[0013] In some technical solutions, optionally, the cookware has a bottom wall. It is set that L2 and the bottom wall have an intersection point M, the distance between M and L1 is R1, and the radius of the bottom wall is R2. R1 and R2 satisfy R1 ≥ 0.5R2.

[0014] When the above range is satisfied, the water outlet is opposite to the position near the edge of the bottom wall. In this case, the impact of water splashing on the ingredients when the water falls on the bottom wall can be reduced, and it is beneficial to avoid the ingredients in the cookware, so that the water can contact the bottom wall more, which can be beneficial to quickly generating steam.

[0015] In some technical solutions, optionally, the cookware has a bottom wall, and a part of the side wall is inclined with respect to the bottom wall. Along the first direction, the projection of the water outlet falls on the side wall, where the first direction is the extension direction of the shortest connection line between the opening and the bottom wall of the cookware.

[0016] A part of the side wall is inclined with respect to the bottom wall, and the water outlet faces the side wall so that the water flow discharged from the water outlet can flow along the side wall to the bottom wall.

[0017] Since the side wall is inclined with respect to the bottom wall, when the water outlet is arranged at the bottom of the first part, the water flow discharged from the water outlet can flow towards the side wall, and the water flow can flow downward along the side wall to the bottom of the cookware, avoiding the water flow from splashing up and soaking the ingredients.

[0018] Since water can come into contact with the side wall, splashing when water falls onto the bottom of the pot can be reduced, and the contact area between water and the inner wall of the pot can be increased, which is conducive to improving the generation speed of steam.

[0019] In some technical solutions, optionally, the water outlet is provided on one side of the first part away from the side wall.

[0020] To prevent the water flow discharged from the water outlet from seeping into the connection position between the first part and the pot, the water outlet needs to be spaced from the side part of the pot. In this case, if the water outlet is provided on one side of the first part away from the side wall, only a shorter first part is required to space the water outlet from the side wall, thereby preventing the length of the first part extending into the pot from being too large and preventing the first part from interfering with the user's operation of the cooking device.

[0021] In some technical solutions, optionally, the side part of the pot is provided with a mounting hole, and the water inlet assembly passes through the mounting hole so that the first part extends into the pot.

[0022] When a mounting hole is formed in the side part of the pot and the water inlet assembly is installed on the pot, the water inlet assembly needs to be inserted into the mounting hole so that a part of the water inlet assembly can extend into the pot, and one end of the water inlet assembly can directly inject water into the pot.

[0023] Since the water inlet assembly is provided on the side part of the pot, it does not need to go around to the top of the pot, thus avoiding interference with the lid opening process. Moreover, when the water inlet assembly is located on the side part of the pot, the distance between the water outlet position of the water inlet assembly and the bottom of the pot is not too large, thereby avoiding splashing during the water injection process.

[0024] In some technical solutions, optionally, the cooking device further includes: a handle connected to the pot, the handle covering the mounting hole, and a part of the water inlet assembly extending into the handle.

[0025] When the handle is installed, the handle can cover the mounting hole, preventing the mounting hole from being exposed outside the pot body and ensuring the integrity of the appearance of the pot.

[0026] When the water inlet assembly needs to be connected to the mounting hole, a part of the water inlet assembly needs to extend into the handle, and the handle covers the connection position between the water inlet assembly and the pot, thereby preventing the connection position between the water inlet assembly and the pot from affecting the appearance of the cooking device.

[0027] The pot usually comes with a handle, and the connection position between the water inlet assembly and the pot is shielded by the structure of the pot itself, eliminating the need for additional shielding components and facilitating the simplification of the product structure.

[0028] In some technical solutions, optionally, the cooking device further includes: a steaming rack disposed inside the cooking pot, with a first part located above the steaming rack.

[0029] When water is injected into the cooking pot from the water outlet, the water flow discharged from the water outlet is not likely to contact the ingredients on the steaming rack, and the water flows into the edge area of the steaming rack, reducing the soaking of the ingredients.

[0030] In some technical solutions, optionally, the minimum distance between the first part and the opening of the cooking pot is less than the minimum distance between the first part and the steaming rack.

[0031] The first part is located between the opening of the cooking pot and the steaming rack. The distance between the first part and the opening of the cooking pot is smaller, and the distance between the installation position of the steaming rack and the first part is larger. Therefore, when installing the steaming rack, the steaming rack can easily cross over the first part, and the first part is not likely to interfere with the installation of the steaming rack, which is beneficial to improving the convenience of use of the cooking device by the user.

[0032] Moreover, when the above-mentioned distance is satisfied, the splashing of water on the steaming rack can be reduced, thereby reducing the influence of water on the ingredients on the steaming rack, and the efficiency of water flowing into the bottom of the pot can also be improved.

[0033] In some technical solutions, optionally, the second part in the water inlet assembly is located outside the cooking pot; the second part includes: a first water inlet part connected to the machine base; a second water inlet part connected to the cooking pot. When the cooking pot is connected to the machine base, the first water inlet part and the second water inlet part are hermetically connected, and when the cooking pot is separated from the machine base, the first water inlet part and the second water inlet part are separated.

[0034] The first water inlet part is provided on the machine base, and the second water inlet part is provided on the cooking pot. The first water inlet part and the second water inlet part can be communicated with each other or separated from each other.

[0035] When the cooking pot is separated from the machine base, the second water inlet part on the cooking pot and the first water inlet part on the machine base also need to be separated from each other to avoid being involved by the first water inlet part and the second water inlet part when moving the cooking pot.

[0036] When the cooking pot is installed on the machine base, the first water inlet part and the second water inlet part are connected to each other. At this time, the first water inlet part and the second water inlet part are communicated with each other, and the water at the water source can be injected into the cooking pot through the first water inlet part and the second water inlet part. Moreover, at this time, the first water inlet part and the second water inlet part are hermetically connected, avoiding water leakage at the connection position of the first water inlet part and the second water inlet part, and ensuring the sealing performance of the connection position of the first water inlet part and the second water inlet part.

[0037] In some technical solutions, optionally, when the cooking pot is connected to the machine base, the first water inlet part and the second water inlet part are inserted into each other.

[0038] The first water inlet part and the second water inlet part are usually connected in a plug-in manner. When it is necessary to separate the cookware from the base, the first water inlet part and the second water inlet part can be separated only by pulling. When installing the cookware on the base, it is only necessary to plug the first water inlet part and the second water inlet part into each other to complete the installation, without the need to rely on other components. Therefore, the connection convenience of the first water inlet part and the second water inlet part can be improved, providing convenience for users.

[0039] In some technical solutions, optionally, when the first water inlet part and the second water inlet part are connected, the first water inlet part or the second water inlet part deforms.

[0040] One of the first water inlet part and the second water inlet part can be made of a material with relatively soft texture. When the first water inlet part and the second water inlet part are plugged into each other, the first water inlet part or the second water inlet part deforms, and the first water inlet part and the second water inlet part fit tightly with each other, enabling the first water inlet part and the second water inlet part to achieve a sealed connection, ensuring the sealing reliability between the first water inlet part and the second water inlet part. When water flows through the connection position of the first water inlet part and the second water inlet part, the situation of water overflow is avoided.

Detailed implementation manners

[0051] In order to more clearly understand the above objects, features and advantages of the present invention, the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the drawings and specific implementation manners. It should be noted that, without conflict, the embodiments of the present application and the features in the embodiments can be combined with each other.

[0052] In the following description, many specific details are set forth in order to fully understand the present invention. However, the present invention can also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein. Therefore, the protection scope of the present invention is not limited by the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0053] The following refers to Figures 1 to 6 Describe a cooking device provided according to some embodiments of the present invention.

[0054] Combined with Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown in, in an embodiment of the present invention, a cooking device is proposed, including: a base 100, cookware 200, a heating element 300 and a water inlet assembly 400. The cookware 200 is disposed on the base 100. The heating element 300 is connected to the base 100 or the cookware 200. The heating element 300 is used to heat the cookware 200. The water inlet assembly 400 is connected to the cookware 200. The first part 410 in the water inlet assembly 400 extends into the cookware 200. A water outlet 411 is provided at the bottom of the first part 410. Among them, the cookware 200 has a center line L1. The minimum distance between the water outlet 411 and the side wall 220 of the cookware 200 is H1, and the minimum distance between the water outlet 411 and the center line L1 is H2, and H1 < H2.

[0055] The heating element 300 is used to heat the cookware 200 so that the cookware 200 can cook food ingredients. When water needs to be injected into the cookware 200, the water inlet assembly 400 can be used to automatically inject water into the cookware 200. Specifically, the water inlet assembly 400 is used to connect to a water source. Before or during the cooking process, water can be injected into the cookware 200 through the water inlet assembly 400, eliminating the need for manual water addition, improving the intelligence of the cooking device, and providing convenience for user use.

[0056] The water inlet assembly 400 has an automatic water inlet function. During cooking processes such as steaming and boiling, the water inlet volume per unit time can be controlled through the water inlet assembly 400, and the water inlet rate can be controlled by a program, so that there is a small amount of water in the cookware 200. The small amount of water can quickly generate steam, and can avoid generating excessive steam, reducing energy waste and the impact of a large amount of steam escaping on the cooking environment, which is beneficial to improving the cooking rate and user experience of the food materials. Moreover, since the speed of generating steam inside the cookware 200 is relatively fast, the steam can quickly fill the inside of the cookware 200, making the temperature inside the cookware 200 relatively high and reducing the generation of condensed water.

[0057] The water outlet 411 is close to the side wall 220 of the cookware 200. When the water outlet 411 injects water into the cookware 200, the water flow discharged from the water outlet 411 is not likely to contact the food materials inside the cookware 200. Especially when grilling food materials, the water flows into the edge area at the bottom of the cookware 200, reducing the soaking of the food materials and preventing the impact on the cooking taste of the food materials, which is beneficial to improving the user experience of the cooking appliance.

[0058] The number of the water inlet assemblies 400 can be at least two, and at least two water inlet assemblies 400 are distributed along the circumferential direction of the cookware 200, which can improve the water inlet speed.

[0059] Combined Figure 2 、 Figure 3 and Figure 6 As shown in

[0060] In some embodiments, optionally, the shortest connection from the opening of the cookware 200 to the bottom of the cookware is set as L3, and it is set that L3 passes through the water outlet 411. The water outlet 411 has a center line L2, and there is an included angle α between L3 and L2, where 0° ≤ α ≤ 30°.

[0061] If the water outlet 411 has a large inclination angle, the water outlet 411 will spray water flow towards the food materials. Therefore, in order to reduce the area where the water flow sprays towards the middle of the food materials, the inclination angle of the water outlet 411 is limited to be less than or equal to 30°, so that the water flow is not likely to contact the food materials, thereby avoiding the water flow from soaking the food materials.

[0062] Within the above-mentioned angular range, water can directly contact the surface of the high-temperature cookware 200 to generate steam, which is beneficial to increasing the steam generation speed.

[0063] Of course, in other embodiments, the mounting hole 210 can also be provided on the pot lid 600.

[0064] Combined with Figure 2 、 Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown in, in some embodiments, optionally, the cookware 200 has a bottom wall 230. It is set that L2 has an intersection point M with the bottom wall 230, the distance between M and L1 is R1, and the radius of the bottom wall 230 is R2. R1 and R2 satisfy R1≥0.5R2.

[0065] When the above range is satisfied, the water outlet 411 is opposite to a position near the edge in the bottom wall 230. In this case, the influence of water splashing on the ingredients when the water falls on the bottom wall 230 can be reduced, and it is beneficial to avoid the ingredients in the cookware 200, so that the water can contact the bottom wall 230 more, thereby being beneficial to quickly generating steam.

[0066] In a possible application, R1 and R2 satisfy R1≥2 / 3R2. Within this range, water contacting the ingredients can be further avoided, and water soaking the ingredients can be avoided.

[0067] Combined with Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown in, in some embodiments, optionally, the cookware 200 has a bottom wall 230, and a part of the side wall 220 is inclined with respect to the bottom wall 230. Along the first direction, the projection of the water outlet 411 falls on the side wall 220, where the first direction is the extending direction of the shortest connection line between the opening 240 of the cookware 200 and the bottom wall 230.

[0068] A part of the side wall 220 is inclined with respect to the bottom wall 230, and the water outlet 411 faces the side wall 220, so that the water flow discharged from the water outlet 411 can flow along the side wall 220 to the bottom wall 230.

[0069] Since the side wall 220 is inclined with respect to the bottom wall 230, when the water outlet 411 is provided at the bottom of the first part 410, the water flow discharged from the water outlet 411 can flow to the side wall 220, and the water flow can flow downward along the side wall 220 to the bottom of the cookware 200, avoiding the water flow from splashing and soaking the ingredients.

[0070] Since water can contact the side wall 220, the splashing when the water falls on the bottom of the pot can be reduced, and the contact area between the water and the inner wall of the cookware 200 can also be increased, which is beneficial to increasing the steam generation speed.

[0071] Combined with Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, in some embodiments, optionally, the water outlet 411 is provided on a side of the first part 410 away from the side wall 220.

[0072] To prevent the water flow discharged from the water outlet 411 from seeping into the connection position between the first part 410 and the cookware 200, the water outlet 411 needs to be spaced from the side part of the cookware 200. In this case, if the water outlet 411 is provided on a side of the first part 410 away from the side wall 220, only a shorter first part 410 is required to space the water outlet 411 from the side wall 220, thereby preventing the length of the first part 410 extending into the cookware 200 from being too large and preventing the first part 410 from interfering with the user's operation of the cooking device.

[0073] Combined Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, optionally, the side part of the cookware 200 is provided with an installation hole 210, and the water inlet assembly 400 passes through the installation hole 210 so that the first part 410 extends into the cookware 200.

[0074] When an installation hole 210 is formed in the side part of the cookware 200 and the water inlet assembly 400 is installed on the cookware 200, the water inlet assembly 400 needs to be inserted into the installation hole 210 so that a part of the water inlet assembly 400 can extend into the cookware 200, and one end of the water inlet assembly 400 can directly inject water into the cookware 200. Figure 3 The arrow in

[0075] shows the water flow direction. By arranging the water inlet assembly 400 on the side part of the cookware 200, the water inlet assembly 400 does not need to go around to the top of the cookware 200, thus avoiding interference with the lid opening process. Moreover, when the water inlet assembly 400 is located on the side part of the cookware 200, the distance between the water outlet position of the water inlet assembly 400 and the bottom of the cookware 200 is not too large, thereby avoiding splashing of water during the water injection process.

[0076] Combined Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments, optionally, the cooking device further includes: a handle 700, the handle 700 is connected to the cookware 200, the handle 700 covers the installation hole 210, and a part of the water inlet assembly 400 extends into the handle 700.

[0077] By corresponding the installation position of the handle 700 to the position where the installation hole 210 is formed, when the handle 700 is installed, the handle 700 can cover the installation hole 210, so that the installation hole 210 is not exposed outside the pot body, ensuring the integrity of the appearance of the cookware 200.

[0078] When the water inlet assembly 400 needs to be connected to the mounting hole 210, a part of the water inlet assembly 400 needs to be extended into the handle 700, and the handle 700 covers the connection position between the water inlet assembly 400 and the cookware 200, so as to prevent the connection position between the water inlet assembly 400 and the cookware 200 from affecting the appearance of the cooking device.

[0079] The cookware 200 usually comes with a handle 700, and the structure of the cookware 200 itself shields the connection position between the water inlet assembly 400 and the cookware 200, eliminating the need for additional shielding components and facilitating the simplification of the product structure.

[0080] In some embodiments, optionally, the cooking device further includes: a steaming rack 500 disposed inside the cookware 200, and a first portion 410 located above the steaming rack 500.

[0081] When water is injected into the cookware 200 from the water outlet 411, the water flow discharged from the water outlet 411 is not likely to contact the food ingredients on the steaming rack 500, and the water flows into the edge area of the steaming rack 500, reducing the soaking of the food ingredients.

[0082] Combined Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown in

[0083] Combined Figure 2 and Figure 4 In some embodiments, optionally, the minimum distance between the first portion 410 and the opening 240 of the cookware 200 is less than the minimum distance between the first portion 410 and the steaming rack 500.

[0084] The first part 410 is located between the opening 240 of the cookware 200 and the steaming rack 500. The distance between the first part 410 and the opening 240 of the cookware 200 is relatively small, while the distance between the installation position of the steaming rack 500 and the first part 410 is relatively large. Therefore, when installing the steaming rack 500, the steaming rack 500 can easily cross over the first part 410, and the first part 410 is not likely to interfere with the installation of the steaming rack 500, which is beneficial to improving the user's convenience in using the cooking device.

[0085] Moreover, when the above-mentioned distance is satisfied, the splashing of water on the steaming rack 500 can be reduced, thereby reducing the impact of water on the ingredients on the steaming rack 500, and the efficiency of water flowing into the bottom of the pot can also be improved.

[0086] As Figure 4 shown, in some embodiments, optionally, the second part 420 of the water inlet assembly 400 is located outside the cookware 200. The second part 420 includes: a first water inlet part 421 and a second water inlet part 422. The first water inlet part 421 is connected to the machine base 100, and the second water inlet part 422 is connected to the cookware 200. When the cookware 200 is connected to the machine base 100, the first water inlet part 421 and the second water inlet part 422 are hermetically connected. When the cookware 200 is separated from the machine base 100, the first water inlet part 421 and the second water inlet part 422 are separated from each other.

[0087] The first water inlet part 421 is provided on the machine base 100, and the second water inlet part 422 is provided on the cookware 200. The first water inlet part 421 and the second water inlet part 422 can be connected to each other or separated from each other.

[0088] In the case where the cookware 200 is separated from the machine base 100, the second water inlet part 422 on the cookware 200 and the first water inlet part 421 on the machine base 100 also need to be separated from each other to avoid being dragged by the first water inlet part 421 and the second water inlet part 422 when moving the cookware 200.

[0089] When the cookware 200 is installed on the machine base 100, the first water inlet part 421 and the second water inlet part 422 are connected to each other. At this time, the first water inlet part 421 and the second water inlet part 422 are connected and communicate with each other. The water at the water source can be injected into the cookware 200 through the first water inlet part 421 and the second water inlet part 422. Moreover, at this time, the first water inlet part 421 and the second water inlet part 422 are hermetically connected to avoid water leakage at the connection position of the first water inlet part 421 and the second water inlet part 422, and ensure the sealing performance of the connection position of the first water inlet part 421 and the second water inlet part 422.

[0090] Combined with Figure 2 and Figure 4 shown, in some embodiments, optionally, when the cookware 200 is connected to the machine base 100, the first water inlet part 421 and the second water inlet part 422 are plugged into each other.

[0091] The first water inlet 421 and the second water inlet 422 are usually connected in a plug-in manner. When the cooker 200 needs to be separated from the machine base 100, the first water inlet 421 and the second water inlet 422 can be separated by pulling. When the cooker 200 is installed on the machine base 100, the installation can be completed by plugging the first water inlet 421 and the second water inlet 422 into each other without the help of other components. Therefore, the connection convenience of the first water inlet 421 and the second water inlet 422 can be improved, which provides convenience for users.

[0092] In some embodiments, optionally, when the first water inlet portion 421 and the second water inlet portion 422 are connected, the first water inlet portion 421 or the second water inlet portion 422 is deformed.

[0093] One of the first water inlet 421 and the second water inlet 422 can be made of a softer material. When the first water inlet 421 and the second water inlet 422 are plugged into each other, the first water inlet 421 or the second water inlet 422 is deformed, and the first water inlet 421 and the second water inlet 422 fit closely with each other, so that the first water inlet 421 and the second water inlet 422 are sealed and connected, ensuring the sealing reliability between the first water inlet 421 and the second water inlet 422, and avoiding water overflow when water flows through the connection position of the first water inlet 421 and the second water inlet 422.

[0094] Exemplarily, a sealing rubber sleeve is provided on the first water inlet 421 or the second water inlet 422 , and when the first water inlet 421 and the second water inlet 422 are connected, the sealing rubber sleeve is squeezed and deformed, thereby achieving the sealing function of the first water inlet 421 and the second water inlet 422 .
