[0057] The following describes embodiments of the present invention in detail. Examples of the embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals throughout represent the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are intended only to explain the present invention and are not to be construed as limiting the present invention.

[0058] Hereinafter, a cooking appliance 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0059] like Figures 1-9 As shown, the cooking appliance 1 according to the embodiment of the present invention includes a cooking body, a food processing component 30 and a powder cleaning component 40 .

[0060] The cooking body defines a cooking cavity 111, and the food processing component 30 is arranged on the cooking body. The food processing component 30 includes a accommodating cavity 301, an openable and closable discharge port 313 and a processing part 32. The accommodating cavity 301 includes a processing cavity 311 and a powder collecting cavity 312. The powder collecting cavity 312 is located outside the processing cavity 311. For example, the powder collecting cavity 312 can at least partially surround the outside of the processing cavity 311. For another example, the powder collecting cavity 312 can at least partially be located below the processing cavity 311. Of course, the powder collecting cavity 312 can include two parts, one part of the powder collecting cavity 312 surrounds the outside of the processing cavity 311 and the other part is located below the processing cavity 311.

[0061] The powder collecting chamber 312 is connected to the processing chamber 311 through multiple powder leakage holes 314. The processing part 32 is used to peel off the surface layer of the food in the processing chamber 311 to form granular food and powdered food. The powdered food can enter the powder collecting chamber 312 through the powder leakage holes 314, while the granular food remains in the processing chamber 311, so that the powdered food and the granular food can be preliminarily separated.

[0062] The discharge port 313 is used to connect the processing chamber 311 and the cooking chamber 111 . When the discharge port 313 is opened, the food in the processing chamber 311 enters the cooking chamber 111 , and the cooking appliance 1 can cook the food in the cooking chamber 111 .

[0063] In some embodiments, the powder cleaning component 40 is used to remove the powdered food in the accommodating cavity 301 to further separate the powdered food and the granular food, thereby facilitating the high separation of the powdered food and the granular food to avoid the powdered food from adhering to the granular food, thereby improving the taste of the granular food.

[0064] In some embodiments, the powder cleaning component 40 is used to clean the powdered ingredients in the cooking cavity 111. When the ingredients in the processing cavity 311 enter the cooking cavity 111, powdered ingredients will adhere to the granular ingredients. The powder cleaning component 40 can be used to clean the powdered ingredients in the cooking cavity 111 to reduce the powdered ingredients adhered to the granular ingredients, thereby improving the taste of the granular ingredients.

[0065] Therefore, the cooking appliance 1 according to the embodiment of the present invention has the advantages of meeting the user's demand for processing food materials and improving the taste of food materials.

[0066] The following describes a cooking appliance 1 according to a specific embodiment of the present invention with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0067] like Figures 1-9 As shown, the cooking appliance 1 according to the embodiment of the present invention includes a cooking body, a food processing component 30 and a powder cleaning component 40 .

[0068] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 1 、 Figure 8 As shown, the discharge port 313 is arranged in the middle of the bottom wall of the processing chamber 311, and the wall body of the processing chamber 311 includes a guide wall 316, which extends downward in the radial direction of the processing chamber 311 in the direction close to the discharge port 313. Under the action of gravity, the food can move along the guide wall 316 toward the discharge port 313, so that when the discharge port 313 is opened, the food in the processing chamber 311 can smoothly enter the cooking chamber 111 from the discharge port 313, thereby reducing the food remaining in the processing chamber 311.

[0069] In some optional embodiments of the present invention, Figure 7 、 Figure 8As shown, the guide wall 316 surrounds the discharge port 313, and a plurality of powder leakage holes 314 are arranged at intervals on the guide wall 316 and pass through the guide wall 316. When the processing part 32 peels off the surface of the food to form granular food and powdered food, when the food moves along the guide wall 316 toward the discharge port 313, the powdered food can enter the powder collecting chamber 312 from the powder leakage holes 314, so as to be able to preliminarily separate the powdered food and the granular food.

[0070] In some optional embodiments of the present invention, Figure 2 As shown, the food processing component 30 includes a first container 35 and a second container 36. The second container 36 is at least partially arranged in the first container 35. The second container 36 defines a processing chamber 311. A powder collecting chamber 312 is defined between the second container 36 and the first container 35. A discharge port 313 and a plurality of powder leakage holes 314 are arranged on the bottom wall of the second container 36. The processing part 32 is used to peel off the surface layer of the food in the second container 36 to form granular food and powdered food. The formed powdered food can enter the powder collecting chamber 312 from the bottom wall of the second container 36 through the powder leakage holes 314, and the granular food remains in the second container 36 to perform preliminary separation of the granular food and powdered food in the processing chamber 311.

[0071] like Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment, the second container 36 is arranged above the first container 35, and a plurality of powder leakage holes 314 are provided at the bottom of the processing chamber 311. The processing chamber 311 is located above the powder collecting chamber 312. The processing chamber 311 and the powder collecting chamber 312 are connected through the powder leakage holes 314. After the processing component 32 peels off the surface of the food and forms granular food and powdered food, under the action of gravity and the processing component 32, the powdered food can enter the powder collecting chamber 312 from the powder leakage holes 314, and the granular food remains in the processing chamber 311, so as to achieve preliminary separation of the powdered food and the granular food.

[0072] In some embodiments, the food processing component 30 can be used for rice milling, which is a process for converting brown rice into white rice. Specifically, the food processing component 30 can remove the surface layer of the brown rice to remove the cortex, grains and germ of the brown rice surface, thereby converting the brown rice into white rice and forming powdered food.

[0073] In addition, the food processing component 30 can also be used for rice polishing, which is a further processing of white rice. Specifically, if white rice is exposed to the air for a long time, dust and other particles may adhere to the surface of the white rice. At the same time, the surface of the white rice is easily oxidized, and the impurities on the surface of the white rice will affect the taste of the white rice. The food processing component 30 can process the surface of the white rice to remove the dust and oxidation layer on the surface of the white rice, and then polish the white rice into shiny rice grains to improve the taste of the white rice.

[0074] The rice milling or rice polishing performed by the food processing assembly 30 depends on the processing intensity of the processing element 32 on the food. The operator can adjust the working power and working time of the processing element 32 as needed to perform rice milling or rice polishing as needed.

[0075] In addition, the food processing component 30 can also be used to process the surface of food materials such as soybeans, black beans, and corn kernels, and there are no excessive restrictions here.

[0076] In some embodiments of the present invention, the food processing component 30 is located above the cooking cavity 111 and the discharge port 313 is arranged opposite to the cooking cavity 111. When the discharge port 313 is opened, under the action of gravity, the granular food in the processing cavity 311 enters the cooking cavity 111 through the discharge port 313, which facilitates the automatic feeding of the cooking cavity 111. In this way, the user does not need to manually add the granular food in the processing cavity 311 to the cooking cavity 111, thereby reducing the user's operation and improving the user's experience.

[0077] In some embodiments, the cooking body includes a pot assembly 101 and a cover assembly. The pot assembly 101 defines a cooking cavity 111 , and the cover assembly is disposed on the pot assembly 101 .

[0078] In some examples, such as Figure 2 In other examples, the food processing assembly 30 is disposed on a side of the cover assembly facing the pot assembly 101, and when the cover assembly closes the top opening of the cooking cavity 111, at least a portion of the food processing assembly 30 is located in the cooking cavity 111.

[0079] In other embodiments of the present invention, the food processing assembly 30 is located at the side of the cooking cavity 111. In some embodiments, the cooking appliance 1 further comprises a driving mechanism for driving the granular food in the processing cavity 311 into the cooking cavity 111.

[0080] In some embodiments, the cooking body includes a pot body assembly 101 and a cover body assembly. The pot body assembly 101 defines a cooking cavity 111. The cover body assembly is covered on the pot body assembly 101. The food processing assembly 30 is disposed in the pot body assembly 101 and is located on one side of the cooking cavity 111.

[0081] In some optional embodiments of the present invention, Figure 2As shown, the cooking body also has a feeding channel 12, which connects the feeding port 313 and the cooking cavity 111. When the feeding port 313 is opened, the granular food in the processing cavity 311 enters the feeding channel 12 from the feeding port 313, and enters the cooking cavity 111 along the feeding channel 12. In this way, when the distance between the feeding port 313 and the cooking cavity 111 is far, the feeding channel 12 can guide the movement path of the food to prevent the food from splashing out of the cooking cavity 111.

[0082] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 6 As shown, the food processing component 30 also includes a first switch component, which includes a first baffle 371 and a first driving member. The first baffle 371 can be movably arranged at the discharge port 313 to open and close the discharge port 313. The first driving member is connected to the first baffle 371 to drive the first baffle 371 to move, thereby controlling the first baffle 371 to open or close the discharge port 313.

[0083] When the first baffle 371 closes the discharge opening 313, the processing member 32 processes the food in the processing chamber 311 to peel off the surface layer of the food to form powdered food and granular food. The powdered food in the processing chamber 311 enters the powder collecting chamber 312 through the powder leakage hole 314, while the granular food remains in the processing chamber 311. When the first driving member drives the first baffle 371 to open the discharge opening 313, the granular food in the processing chamber 311 can enter the cooking chamber 111 through the discharge opening 313.

[0084] In some optional embodiments of the present invention, the first driving member drives the first baffle 371 to move up and down through the first connecting shaft 373, and the food processing assembly 30 further includes a power component 38, which drives the processing component 32 to rotate through the second connecting shaft 381. The processing component 32 can process the food while rotating to peel off the surface of the food to form powdered food and granular food.

[0085] Among them, the first connecting shaft 373 and the second connecting shaft 381 are arranged in a sleeve manner, which makes it easy to save the space occupied by the first connecting shaft 373 and the second connecting shaft 381 in the processing chamber 311, so as to reserve more space for accommodating food, thereby improving the processing efficiency of the processing part 32 for food.

[0086] In some embodiments, as Figure 6 As shown, the processing part 32 includes a plurality of rotatable grinding knives, which are arranged at circumferential intervals on the second connecting shaft 381. The second connecting shaft 381 is connected to the plurality of grinding knives to drive the plurality of grinding knives to rotate. When the second connecting shaft 381 drives the plurality of grinding knives to rotate in the processing chamber 311, the grinding knives grind the food in the processing chamber 311 to remove the surface layer of the food and form granular food and powdered food.

[0087] In some embodiments, as Figure 6 As shown, the first baffle 371 is located below the processing part 32. When the first driving part moves downward through the first connecting shaft 373, causing the first baffle 371 to move downward in a direction away from the processing part 32, the first baffle 371 opens the discharge port 313. At this time, the food in the processing chamber 311 can enter the cooking chamber 111 through the discharge port 313. When the first driving part moves upward through the first connecting shaft 373, causing the first baffle 371 to move upward in a direction close to the processing part 32, the first baffle 371 closes the discharge port 313.

[0088] In some other optional embodiments of the present invention, the first driving member is used to drive the first baffle 371 to rotate, so that the first baffle 371 can open or close the discharge port 313.

[0089] In some embodiments, the processing piece 32 includes a first grinding disc and a second grinding disc, which are arranged relative to each other in the processing chamber 311 and are rotatable relative to each other. A grinding space is defined between the first grinding disc and the second grinding disc, and the first grinding disc and / or the second grinding disc have a grinding surface on one side facing the grinding space.

[0090] When the food needs to be ground, the food is placed in the grinding space, and the first grinding disc and the second grinding disc are rotated relative to each other. At this time, the grinding surface on the first grinding disc and / or the second grinding disc can grind the food in the grinding space to peel off the surface of the food, such as removing crude fiber and bran on the surface of brown rice, so as to improve the taste of the rice grains and facilitate better cooking of the rice grains.

[0091] In some embodiments, one of the first grinding disc and the second grinding disc is rotating and the other is stationary. For example, the first grinding disc is stationary and the second grinding disc is rotatable. The second grinding disc has a grinding surface on the side facing the grinding space. When the second grinding disc rotates, the grinding surface on the second grinding disc can rotate relative to the food in the grinding space, so that the grinding surface can grind the surface of the food in the grinding space, and then peel off the surface layer of the food, such as removing crude fiber, bran, etc. on the surface of rice grains, so as to improve the taste of the rice grains and facilitate better cooking of the rice grains.

[0092] Among them, the first grinding disc also has a grinding surface on the side facing the grinding space. When the second grinding disc rotates, the second grinding disc will drive the food in the grinding space to move under the drive of friction. At this time, the food moves relative to the first grinding disc. The grinding surface on the first grinding disc can grind the food to peel off the surface of the food, such as removing crude fiber and bran on the surface of rice grains, so as to improve the taste of the rice grains and facilitate better cooking of the rice grains.

[0093] In other embodiments, both the first grinding disc and the second grinding disc can rotate, and the rotation directions of the first grinding disc and the second grinding disc can be opposite, or they can be the same but with different rotation speeds. The first grinding disc and the second grinding disc both have grinding surfaces on the side facing the grinding space. When the first grinding disc and the second grinding disc rotate relative to each other, they can grind the food in the grinding space at different speeds.

[0094] Specifically, when the first grinding disc and the second grinding disc rotate relative to each other, the first grinding disc and the second grinding disc can jointly grind the food in the grinding space to fully peel off the surface of the food, such as removing crude fiber and bran on the surface of rice grains, thereby improving the taste of the rice grains and facilitating better cooking of the rice grains.

[0095] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, a stirring member is provided on the surface of the first grinding disc and / or the second grinding disc facing the grinding space, and the stirring member is used to stir the food in the grinding space to change the position and placement angle of the food in the grinding space, so that the first grinding disc and the second grinding disc can grind different positions of the food, so that the first grinding disc and the second grinding disc can fully and evenly grind the food, so as to fully peel off the surface layer of the food, thereby improving the taste of the food and facilitating better cooking of the food.

[0096] For example, when the food processing component 30 is grinding rice grains, the agitator can agitate the rice grains to change the position of the rice grains in the grinding space, thereby enabling the first grinding disc and the second grinding disc to grind each surface of the rice grains to fully grind the rice grains, thereby improving the effect of the food processing component 30 in grinding the rice grains.

[0097] In some embodiments, one of the first grinding disc and the second grinding disc is rotating, and the other is stationary, and the rotating first grinding disc or the second grinding disc has an agitator. For example, the first grinding disc can rotate, the second grinding disc is stationary, and the first grinding disc has an agitator.

[0098] When the first grinding disc rotates, the first grinding disc can drive the stirring member thereon to rotate, so that the stirring member can stir the food in the grinding space, thereby changing the position and placement angle of the food in the grinding space, so that the first grinding disc and the second grinding disc can fully and evenly grind each surface of the food in the grinding space.

[0099] In other embodiments, one of the first grinding disc and the second grinding disc is rotating, and the other is stationary, and the first grinding disc or the second grinding disc that is stationary has an agitator. For example, the first grinding disc is stationary, the second grinding disc can rotate, and the first grinding disc has an agitator.

[0100] When the second grinding disc rotates, under the influence of friction, the second grinding disc can drive the food to move relative to the first grinding disc. At this time, the stirring member on the first grinding disc can stir the food, thereby changing the position and placement angle of the food in the grinding space, so that the first grinding disc and the second grinding disc can fully and evenly grind the food in the grinding space.

[0101] In other embodiments, one of the first grinding disc and the second grinding disc is rotating and the other is stationary, the first grinding disc is provided with an agitator on the side facing the grinding space, and the second grinding disc is provided with an agitator on the side facing the grinding space. For example, the first grinding disc is stationary and the second grinding disc is rotating.

[0102] When the second grinding disc rotates, the second grinding disc will drive the stirring member on it to rotate accordingly. The stirring member can stir the food in the grinding space, thereby changing the position and placement angle of the food in the grinding space. At the same time, when the food moves relative to the first grinding disc, the stirring member on the first grinding disc will also stir the food to further change the position of the food in the grinding space, so that the first grinding disc and the second grinding disc can fully and evenly grind the food in the grinding space.

[0103] In some other embodiments, the first grinding disc and the second grinding disc rotate at opposite speeds or rotate in the same direction at different speeds, and an agitator is provided on the side of the first grinding disc facing the grinding space, and an agitator is provided on the side of the second grinding disc facing the grinding space.

[0104] When the first grinding disc rotates, the stirring member on the first grinding disc can stir the food in the grinding space. When the second grinding disc rotates, the stirring member on the second grinding disc can stir the food in the grinding space, so as to change the position and placement angle of the food in the grinding space, so that the first grinding disc and the second grinding disc can fully and evenly grind the food in the grinding space.

[0105] In some optional embodiments, the stirring member includes a plurality of stirring ribs arranged at intervals, so as to utilize the stirring ribs to increase the contact area between the stirring member and the food in the grinding space, thereby enabling the stirring member to fully stir the food in the grinding space, thereby fully changing the position and placement angle of the food in the grinding space, and enabling the first grinding disk and the second grinding disk to fully and evenly grind the food in the grinding space.

[0106] In some embodiments, the outer surface of the stirring ribs has a certain degree of roughness, so that while the stirring ribs stir the food, the outer surface of the stirring ribs can be used to grind the food in contact with them. This facilitates increasing the grinding efficiency of the first grinding disc and / or the second grinding disc, and improving the grinding efficiency of the food processing assembly 30 for the food.

[0107] In some embodiments, the stirring ribs can be formed into a wave shape or a spiral shape, so that when the first grinding disc or the second grinding disc drives the stirring ribs thereon to rotate, the stirring ribs can fully stir the food in the grinding space to change the position of the food in the grinding space.

[0108] In some embodiments, multiple stirring ribs are arranged at intervals along the length and width directions of the first grinding disc and / or the second grinding disc to increase the stirring range of the multiple stirring ribs, thereby enabling the multiple stirring ribs to fully stir the food at different positions in the grinding space, thereby changing the position and placement angle of the food in the grinding space, and enabling the first grinding disc and the second grinding disc to fully and evenly grind the food in the grinding space.

[0109] In other embodiments, the processing member 32 includes a first rolling roller and a second rolling roller, which are arranged side by side and rotatably provided in the processing container, and the rotation directions of the first rolling roller and the second rolling roller are opposite, wherein there is a gap between the first rolling roller and the second rolling roller to allow food to enter the gap and be rolled by the first rolling roller and the second rolling roller. When the first rolling roller and the second rolling roller roll the food, the surface layer of the food can be peeled off, such as removing crude fiber, husk, etc. on the surface of rice grains, so as to improve the taste of the rice grains and facilitate better cooking of the rice grains.

[0110] In some embodiments of the present invention, the powder cleaning component 40 transports the powdered food in the accommodating cavity 301 or the cooking cavity 111 to the kitchen sewer to discharge the powdered food in the accommodating cavity 301 or the cooking cavity 111, thereby achieving a high degree of separation between granular food and powdered food.

[0111] In other embodiments of the present invention, the cooking body further has a storage cavity 112, which is used to accommodate powdered food materials removed by the powder cleaning component 40, so as to collect the powdered food materials in the storage cavity 112, thereby facilitating centralized processing of the powdered food materials in the storage cavity 112.

[0112] In some optional embodiments of the present invention, Figure 2As shown, the powder collecting chamber 312 has a powder discharge port, the storage chamber 112 is located below the powder collecting chamber 312 and the two are connected through the powder discharge port, and the powdered food in the powder collecting chamber 312 enters the storage chamber 112 through the powder discharge port. It should be understood here that the above-mentioned direction limitation is only for the convenience of describing the accompanying drawings and will not limit the actual setting position and direction of the cooking appliance 1.

[0113] In some embodiments, the cooking appliance 1 further includes a movable drawer, which defines a storage cavity 112 . The movable drawer is pullable and disposed on the cooking body to facilitate processing of powdered food in the storage cavity 112 and cleaning of the storage cavity 112 .

[0114] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, the food processing component 30 also includes a second switch component, the second switch component includes a second baffle and a second driving member, the second baffle can be movably arranged at the powder discharge port to open and close the powder discharge port, and the second driving member is connected to the second baffle to drive the second baffle to move.

[0115] When the second driving member controls the second baffle to open the powder discharge port, the powdered food in the powder collection chamber 312 can enter the storage chamber 112 through the powder discharge port. When the second driving member controls the second baffle to close the powder discharge port, the powdered food in the powder collection chamber 312 is retained within the powder collection chamber 312. For example, when the storage chamber 112 needs to be cleaned, the second baffle should be closed to prevent the powdered food in the powder collection chamber 312 from interfering with the operator's cleaning of the storage chamber 112.

[0116] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 1 The powder cleaning component 40 includes a first water supply component 42, which supplies water to the processing chamber 311 to flush away the powder in the processing chamber 311 and the powder collecting chamber 312 under the action of the water flow.

[0117] Among them, the water entering the processing chamber 311 can clean the granular food in the processing chamber 311 to take away the powdery food attached to the surface of the granular food, and then further separate the granular food and the powdery food to achieve a high degree of separation of the granular food and the powdery food.

[0118] In some embodiments, the powder cleaning component 40 also includes a first water tank 41, which defines a first water storage chamber 411. The first water delivery component 42 is used to drive the water in the first water storage chamber 411 into the processing chamber 311, so as to flush away the powdered food in the processing chamber 311 and the powder collecting chamber 312 under the action of water flow.

[0119] In some examples, the cooking body also has a storage cavity 112, which is located below the powder collecting cavity 312. Under the action of water flow, the water in the processing cavity 311 flows into the powder collecting cavity 312 and flows toward the storage cavity 112. During the flow of water, the water takes away the powdered food on the surface of the granular food in the processing cavity 311 and drives the powdered food in the powder collecting cavity 312 to flow toward the storage cavity 112, so as to concentrate the powdered food in the storage cavity 112, thereby facilitating the centralized processing of the powdered food.

[0120] In other embodiments, the first water delivery component 42 is connected to an external water channel to deliver water to the processing chamber 311. For example, the first water delivery component 42 can be connected to a kitchen water pipe or a water purifier, and there are no excessive restrictions here.

[0121] In some embodiments, when the discharge port 313 connects the processing chamber 311 and the cooking chamber 111, the water delivered to the processing chamber 311 by the first water delivery member 42 can enter the cooking chamber 111 through the discharge port 313, so as to automatically supply water to the cooking chamber 111, thereby facilitating the cooking utensil 1 to cook the ingredients in the cooking chamber 111.

[0122] Among them, the first water supply component 42 is used to automatically supply water to the cooking cavity 111, and the user does not need to manually add water to the cooking cavity 111, which helps to reduce the user's operating steps when using the cooking appliance 1, thereby improving the user's experience.

[0123] In some embodiments of the present invention, the powder cleaning component 40 includes a fan, which is used to blow away the powdered food in the processing chamber 311 and the powder collecting chamber 312, so as to further separate the powdered food and granular food in the processing chamber 311, thereby achieving a high degree of separation of the powdered food and granular food.

[0124] In some embodiments, the cooking body also has a storage cavity 112, which is located below the powder collecting cavity 312. Under the action of the fan, the powdered food in the processing cavity 311 and the powdered food in the powder collecting cavity 312 can enter the storage cavity 112 to concentrate the powdered food in the storage cavity 112, thereby facilitating centralized processing of the powdered food.

[0125] In some embodiments, a water supply component is provided on the cooking body, which is used to supply water to the cooking cavity 111 to realize automatic water addition to the cooking cavity 111, thereby enabling the cooking utensil 1 to cook the ingredients in the cooking cavity 111 without the user having to manually add water to the cooking cavity 111, thereby reducing the number of operating steps for the user when using the cooking utensil 1, thereby improving the user experience.

[0126] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 5As shown, the powder cleaning component 40 includes: a second water supply component 52 and a drainage component 44, the second water supply component 52 is used to supply water to the cooking cavity 111, and the drainage component 44 is used to drain the water in the cooking cavity 111, wherein the water entering the cooking cavity 111 can clean the granular food in the cooking cavity 111 to remove the powdered food on the surface of the granular food, and the drainage component 44 discharges the water containing the powdered food to further separate the granular food and the powdered food, so as to achieve a high degree of separation of the granular food and the powdered food, and further facilitate improving the taste of the granular food.

[0127] After the drain member 44 drains the water from the cooking cavity 111, the second water supply member 52 can again supply water to the cooking cavity 111. During this time, the drain member 44 is inactive, providing water to the cooking cavity 111, thereby facilitating cooking of the ingredients in the cooking cavity 111 by the cooking appliance 1. Specifically, the second water supply member 52 automatically supplies water to the cooking cavity 111, eliminating the need for the user to manually add water to the cooking cavity 111. This reduces the number of steps required for the user to use the cooking appliance 1, thereby improving the user experience.

[0128] In some embodiments, the powder cleaning component 40 also includes a second water tank 51, which defines a second water storage chamber 511. The second water delivery member 52 is used to drive the water in the second water storage chamber 511 into the cooking chamber 111 to provide water for the cooking chamber 111. On the one hand, it is used to separate the granular ingredients and powdered ingredients in the cooking chamber 111, and on the other hand, it is used to add water to the cooking chamber 111 to enable the cooking utensil 1 to cook the ingredients in the cooking chamber 111.

[0129] like Figure 5 As shown, in this embodiment, the second water storage chamber 511 is connected to the cooking chamber 111 through a water supply pipe 521. One end of the water supply pipe 521 is connected to the second water storage chamber 511, and the other end extends to the cooking chamber 111. The second water supply member 52 is used to drive the water in the second water storage chamber 511 along the water supply pipe 521 into the cooking chamber 111 to transport the water to the cooking chamber 111.

[0130] In other embodiments, the second water supply component 52 is connected to an external water channel to deliver water to the cooking cavity 111. For example, the second water supply component 52 can be connected to a kitchen water pipe or a water purifier, and there are no excessive restrictions here.

[0131] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 4As shown, a feeding assembly 60 is provided on the cooking body, and the feeding assembly 60 includes a storage box 61 and a feeding piece 62. The storage box 61 defines a storage cavity 611, and the feeding piece 62 is used to drive the food in the storage cavity 611 into the processing cavity 311 to realize automatic feeding of the processing cavity 311, so that the user does not need to manually add food to the storage cavity 611, which is convenient for reducing user operations and improving user experience.

[0132] In some embodiments of the present invention, the cooking body includes a pot body assembly 101 and a cover body assembly, the pot body assembly 101 defines a cooking cavity 111, the cover body assembly is arranged on the pot body assembly 101, the cover body assembly is used to close the cooking cavity 111, and the food processing assembly 30 is arranged on the cover body assembly to place the food assembly above the cooking cavity 111, thereby facilitating the use of gravity to allow the food in the processing cavity 311 to enter the cooking cavity 111 through the discharge port 313.

[0133] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 2 、 Figure 3 As shown, the cooking appliance 1 further includes a conveying member 70 , a material storage box 61 and a first water tank 41 . The conveying member 70 is used to drive the food in the material storage chamber 611 and the water in the first water tank 41 into the processing chamber 311 .

[0134] Among them, the conveying member 70 can convey the food in the storage chamber 611 and the water in the first water tank 41 to the processing chamber 311 respectively, or it can convey the food in the storage chamber 611 and the water in the first water tank 41 to the processing chamber 311 at the same time, and there are no excessive restrictions here.

[0135] The following describes a method for controlling the cooking appliance 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0136] The cooking appliance 1 includes a cooking body, a food processing component 30 and a powder cleaning component 40. The cooking body defines a cooking cavity 111. The food processing component 30 includes a accommodating cavity 301, an openable and closable discharge port 313 and a processing component 32. The accommodating cavity 301 includes a processing cavity 311 and a powder collecting cavity 312 located below the processing cavity 311. The powder collecting cavity 312 is connected to the processing cavity 311 through multiple powder leakage holes 314. The discharge port 313 is used to connect the processing cavity 311 and the cooking cavity 111. The processing component 32 is used to peel off the surface layer of the food in the processing cavity 311 to form granular food and powdered food. The powder cleaning component 40 is used to remove powdered food in the accommodating cavity 301 or the cooking cavity 111.

[0137] like Figure 10 As shown, the control method includes the following steps:

[0138] S1: Controlling the processing element 32 to operate in a first operating mode until a first preset condition is met;

[0139] S2: Control the powder cleaning component 40 to operate until a second preset condition is reached.

[0140] The first preset condition is set to ensure that the powder cleaning component 40 can only operate after the processing unit 32 is in operation and has processed the food. The second preset condition is set to ensure that the powder cleaning component 40 clears the powdered food in the receiving chamber 301 or the cooking chamber 111 to separate the powdered food from the granular food. Specifically, after the processing unit 32 has fully peeled the surface of the food to form powdered food and granular food, the powder cleaning component 40 resumes operation to fully clear the powdered food in the receiving chamber 301 or the cooking chamber 111 to fully separate the powdered food from the granular food.

[0141] The control method of the cooking appliance 1 according to the embodiment of the present invention has the advantages of satisfying the user's requirements for processing food materials and improving the taste of the food materials.

[0142] In some embodiments of the present invention, the powder cleaning component 40 is used to clear the powdered food in the accommodating chamber 301. When the powder cleaning component 40 is controlled to work, the processing component 32 is also controlled to work in the second working mode, wherein the operating speed of the processing component 32 in the first working mode is greater than the operating speed in the second working mode. When the powder cleaning component 40 clears the powdered food in the powder collecting chamber 312 and the processing chamber 311, the processing component 32 can be used to accelerate the falling of the powdered food from the granular food to assist the powder cleaning component 40 in separating the granular food and the powdered food, thereby facilitating the improvement of the accuracy of separation of the powdered food and the granular food.

[0143] In some embodiments of the present invention, the first preset condition includes: the weight of the food in the processing chamber 311 reaches a first preset value.

[0144] Among them, when the user uses the cooking utensil 1 to cook ingredients, the weight of the ingredients to be cooked can be selected as the first preset value, and then the ingredients are added to the processing chamber 311. When the processing part 32 peels off the surface of the ingredients to form powdered ingredients and granular ingredients, the powdered ingredients enter the powder collecting chamber 312 from the powder leakage hole 314, and the granular ingredients remain in the processing chamber 311. When the weight of the granular ingredients in the processing chamber 311 reaches the first preset value, the processing part 32 stops processing the ingredients.

[0145] What needs to be explained here is that when adding food into the processing chamber 311, you can first add an amount of food that is more than the first preset value into the processing chamber 311. When the processing part 32 processes the food, the weight of the food in the processing chamber 311 gradually decreases. After the processing part 32 has worked for a period of time, if the food in the processing chamber 311 is less than the first preset value, some food can be added to the processing chamber 311 again. At this time, the weight of the food in the processing chamber 311 is greater than the first preset value, and the processing part 32 continues to process the food in the processing chamber 311. The weight of the food in the processing chamber 311 gradually decreases. After the processing part 32 has worked for a period of time, if the food in the processing chamber 311 is greater than or equal to the first preset value, the food processing component 30 stops processing the food.

[0146] When adding food into the processing chamber 311, the processing component 32 can also process the surface of the food while adding food into the processing chamber 311. At this time, the weight of the food in the processing chamber 311 gradually increases. When the weight of the food in the processing chamber 311 gradually exceeds or equals to the first preset value, the food is stopped from being added to the processing chamber 311, and the food processing component 30 also stops processing the food.

[0147] In other embodiments of the present invention, the first preset condition includes: the processing element 32 works for a first preset time to ensure that the processing element 32 fully processes the food in the processing chamber 311 .

[0148] In some embodiments of the present invention, the powder cleaning component 40 is used to remove powdered food in the accommodating chamber 301; the second preset condition includes: the weight of food in the powder collecting chamber 312 reaches a second preset value.

[0149] When controlling the powder cleaning component 40 to work, the powder cleaning component 40 is used to clear the powdered food in the processing chamber 311 and the powder collecting chamber 312, so as to further separate the granular food and the powdered food, thereby achieving a high degree of separation of the granular food and the powdered food. The second preset value is close to 0, such as 1g, 2g or 5g, etc. When the powdered food in the powder collecting chamber 312 is cleared, the powdered food in the powder collecting chamber 312 gradually decreases. When the weight of the food in the powder collecting chamber 312 reaches the second preset value, the powder cleaning component 40 stops working.

[0150] In other embodiments of the present invention, the powder cleaning component 40 is used to clean the powdered food in the accommodating chamber 301; the second preset condition includes: the powder cleaning component 40 works for a second preset time to ensure that the powder cleaning component 40 fully cleans the powdered food in the accommodating chamber 301.

[0151] In some embodiments of the present invention, the powder cleaning component 40 includes a first water supply component 42, which is used to supply water to the processing chamber 311 to flush away the powdered food in the processing chamber 311 and the powder collecting chamber 312 under the action of water flow.

[0152] Among them, the water entering the processing chamber 311 can clean the granular food in the processing chamber 311 to take away the powdery food attached to the surface of the granular food, and then further separate the granular food and the powdery food to achieve a high degree of separation of the granular food and the powdery food.

[0153] In some embodiments, the cooking body also has a storage cavity 112, which is located below the powder collecting cavity 312. Under the action of water flow, the water in the processing cavity 311 flows into the powder collecting cavity 312 and flows toward the storage cavity 112. During the flow of water, the water takes away the powdered food on the surface of the granular food in the processing cavity 311 and drives the powdered food in the powder collecting cavity 312 to flow toward the storage cavity 112, so as to concentrate the powdered food in the storage cavity 112, thereby facilitating the centralized processing of the powdered food.

[0154] like Figure 11 As shown, after controlling the powder cleaning component 40 to work, the control method of the cooking appliance 1 includes:

[0155] S31: Control the food processing component 30 to open the feed opening 313 and continue to control the powder cleaning component 40 to work until the weight of the food in the processing chamber 311 is lower than the fourth preset value and the water intake reaches the first water volume.

[0156] At this time, the water entering the processing chamber 311 can enter the cooking chamber 111 through the discharge port 313, thereby providing water to the cooking chamber 111 and facilitating the cooking of the food in the cooking chamber 111 by the cooking device 1. Simultaneously, during the water flow, the water can drive the granular food in the processing chamber 311 into the cooking chamber 111 through the discharge port 313.

[0157] Among them, after the discharge port 313 is opened, the food in the processing chamber 311 enters the cooking chamber 111 through the discharge port 313, and the food in the processing chamber 311 gradually decreases. The fourth preset value is a value close to 0 but greater than 0, such as 1g, 2g or 5g, etc. When the food in the processing chamber 311 enters the cooking chamber 111 from the discharge port 313, the food in the processing chamber 311 gradually decreases, and at the same time, the water entering the processing chamber 311 enters the cooking chamber 111 through the discharge port 313. When the food in the processing chamber 311 is lower than the fourth preset value and the water intake of the powder cleaning component 40 reaches the first water volume, the powder cleaning component 40 stops working and the discharge port 313 is closed.

[0158] It should be explained that the powder cleaning assembly 40 has two water inflows. During the first water inflow, the discharge port 313 is closed, and the water entering the processing chamber 311 flows through the powder leakage hole 314 into the powder collection chamber 312, thereby clearing the powdered food in the processing chamber 311 and the powder collection chamber 312. During the second water inflow, the discharge port 313 is opened, and most of the water entering the processing chamber 311 flows through the discharge port 313 into the cooking chamber 111, thereby adding water to the cooking chamber 111. The first water volume mentioned here refers to the water volume of the second water inflow.

[0159] In some embodiments of the present invention, the powder cleaning component 40 includes a fan for blowing away the powdered food in the processing chamber 311 and the powder collecting chamber 312 . A water supply component is provided on the cooking body for supplying water to the cooking chamber 111 .

[0160] like Figure 12 As shown, after controlling the powder cleaning component 40 to work, the control method of the cooking appliance 1 includes:

[0161] S32: Control the food processing component 30 to open the feed opening 313 and control the water supply component to operate until the weight of the food in the processing chamber 311 is lower than the fourth preset value and the water supply volume reaches the second water volume.

[0162] Among them, after opening the discharge port 313, the food in the processing chamber 311 enters the cooking chamber 111 through the discharge port 313, and the food in the processing chamber 311 gradually decreases. The fourth preset value is a value close to 0 but greater than 0, such as 1g, 2g or 5g, etc. When the food in the processing chamber 311 enters the cooking chamber 111 from the discharge port 313, the food in the processing chamber 311 gradually decreases. At the same time, the water supply component supplies water to the cooking chamber 111.

[0163] When the food in the processing chamber 311 is lower than the fourth preset value, the feed opening 313 is closed. When the water supply of the water supply component reaches the second water volume, the water supply component stops supplying water.

[0164] In some embodiments of the present invention, the powder cleaning component 40 is used to remove the powdered food in the cooking cavity 111. The powder cleaning component 40 includes a second water supply component 52 and a drainage component 44. The second water supply component 52 is used to supply water to the cooking cavity 111, and the drainage component 44 is used to drain the mixture of powdered food and water in the cooking cavity 111.

[0165] like Figure 13 As shown, before controlling the powder cleaning component 40 to work, it also includes:

[0166] The food processing component 30 is controlled to open the feed opening 313 .

[0167] That is, the processing member 32 peels off the surface layer of the food in the processing chamber 311 to form powdered food and granular food. The powdered food in the processing chamber 311 enters the powder collecting chamber 312 through the powder leakage hole 314, and the granular food in the processing chamber 311 enters the cooking chamber 311 through the discharge port 313. Because some of the powdered food is adsorbed on the surface layer of the granular food, some of the powdered food enters the cooking chamber 311. After the discharge port 312 is opened to discharge food, the second water supply member 52 is used to supply water to the cooking chamber 111. The water entering the cooking chamber 111 cleans the granular food in the cooking chamber 111 to remove the powdered food from the surface of the granular food. The drainage member 44 drains the water containing the powdered food to further separate the granular food from the powdered food, thereby achieving a high degree of separation between the granular food and the powdered food, thereby improving the taste of the granular food.

[0168] In some optional embodiments of the present invention, the cooking appliance 1 further includes a feeding assembly 60, which is used to deliver food into the processing chamber 311. Before controlling the food processing assembly 30 to operate, the control method includes:

[0169] S0: Control the feeding assembly 60 to feed food into the processing chamber 311 until the weight of the food in the processing chamber 311 reaches a third preset value, and the third preset value is greater than the first preset value.

[0170] After the feeding assembly 60 transports the food into the processing chamber 311, the food processing assembly 30 operates in the first working mode, and the processing part 32 peels off the surface layer of the food to form powdered food and granular food.
