[0081] Exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure will now be described in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. While exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure are shown in the drawings, it should be understood that the present disclosure may be implemented in various forms and should not be limited to the embodiments set forth herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided so that this disclosure will be thorough and complete, and will fully convey the scope of the disclosure to those skilled in the art.

[0082] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, a cooking appliance is provided according to a first aspect of the present disclosure, comprising: a pot body assembly 100 having a cooking space 101; and a liquid supply assembly 200 having a spray end 201 and a mist end 202; wherein, when the liquid supply assembly 200 is in a first working state, the spray end 201 supplies liquid to the cooking space 101; and when the liquid supply assembly 200 is in a second working state, the mist end 202 supplies liquid to the cooking space 101.

[0083] The cooking appliance provided in this embodiment includes a pot body assembly 100 and a liquid supply assembly 200. The pot body assembly 100 forms a cooking space 101, which can be used to hold the food to be cooked and the liquid for cooking the food, so as to provide space for cooking the food.

[0084] The liquid supply assembly 200 has a spray end 201 and a spray end 202, and has a first working state and a second working state. In the first working state, the liquid supply assembly 200 can deliver liquid to the cooking space 101 through the spray end 201, and the spray end 201 can be used to output a liquid flow with a high degree of continuity, which facilitates the rapid addition of liquid into the cooking space 101. Thus, the cooking appliance can use the spray end 201 of the liquid supply assembly 200 to inject the liquid required for cooking ingredients into the cooking space 101, which can reduce user operations during the cooking process and improve the ease of use of the cooking appliance. In the second working state, the liquid supply assembly 200 can use the spray end 202... 02. Liquid is supplied to the cooking space 101, and the spray end 202 can be used to output a mist liquid with a high degree of dispersion, which facilitates large-area and small-volume liquid spraying into the cooking space 101. Thus, when the temperature or pressure in the cooking space 101 is high, the spray end 202 of the liquid supply component 200 can inject a mist liquid into the cooking space 101 to reduce the temperature and pressure in the cooking space 101, prevent liquid from overflowing into the cooking space 101, help ensure the cleanliness of cooking, reduce the cleaning burden on users, and at the same time avoid injecting too much liquid into the cooking space 101 during the overflow prevention process, which helps to ensure the cooking effect.

[0085] It should be noted that the cooking appliances provided in this embodiment can be used in practical applications as, but are not limited to, electric pressure cookers, electric slow cookers, etc. Taking the cooking appliance provided in this embodiment as an example when used as an electric pressure cooker, during the cooking process, the food to be cooked can be placed in the cooking space 101, and the liquid required for cooking the food can be injected into the cooking space 101 through the spray end 201 of the liquid supply component 200. Then, the temperature and pressure in the cooking space 101 can be increased by heating the pot body component 100 to facilitate pressure cooking of the food. When the temperature or pressure in the cooking space 101 is high, the risk of liquid overflow in the cooking space 101 is high. Accordingly, the mist liquid can be sprayed into the cooking space 101 through the spray end 202 of the liquid supply component 200 to control the temperature and pressure in the cooking space 101 and prevent liquid from overflowing the cooking space 101. Compared with injecting a liquid flow with a high degree of distribution into the cooking space 101 to prevent overflow, it is easier to spray liquid over a large area while reducing the amount of liquid sprayed, thereby reducing the impact on the cooking effect of the food and expanding the cooling and depressurization range of the cooking space 101 to ensure the overflow prevention effect.

[0086] It is understood that the aforementioned liquid can be, but is not limited to, water.

[0087] Understandably, the liquid supply assembly 200 may have a liquid storage chamber to store liquid and provide the liquid required for spraying to the jet end 201 and the spray end 202. Alternatively, in practical applications, the liquid supply assembly 200 may be connected to a liquid storage device to facilitate the access of liquid.

[0088] It is understood that the liquid supply assembly 200 may have operating states including, but not limited to, the aforementioned first and second operating states. The specific operating states can be configured according to actual usage requirements, and no further limitations are imposed here. For example, the liquid supply assembly 200 may also have a third operating state. In the third operating state, the liquid supply assembly 200 can simultaneously spray liquid into the cooking space 101 through both the spray nozzle 201 and the mist spray nozzle 202, thereby further increasing the liquid output flow rate of the liquid supply assembly 200 during use and improving the liquid injection efficiency of the liquid supply assembly 200.

[0089] Understandably, in practical applications, the liquid supply component 200 can also spray liquid into the cooking space 101 using the spray end 202 after cooking, so as to increase the rate of temperature and pressure reduction in the cooking space 101, which is conducive to achieving rapid depressurization of the cooking space 101, making it convenient for users to quickly take food after cooking, and further improving the user experience of the cooking appliance.

[0090] Understandably, in practical applications, the liquid supply component 200 can also be used for internal cleaning of the pot body component 100. For example, after the food is removed from the cooking space 101, the spray end 202 can be used to spray atomized liquid into the cooking space 101 to clean the inner wall of the pot body component 100.

[0091] In some feasible examples, the aforementioned spray end 201 may include a through hole so that the spray end 201 sprays liquid into the cooking space 101 through the aforementioned through hole; the aforementioned spray end 202 may include an atomizing hole so that the liquid can be atomized when it flows out through the atomizing hole, thereby facilitating the spray end 202 to spray atomized liquid into the cooking space 101 through the aforementioned atomizing hole.

[0092] In some feasible examples, the aforementioned spray end 202 may include an atomizing nozzle, which helps to ensure the stability and reliability of the spray atomized liquid when the spray end 202 sprays the atomized liquid, and helps to improve the uniformity of the distribution of the atomized liquid sprayed from the spray end 202.

[0093] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, in some examples, the liquid supply assembly 200 includes: a spray section 220 having a jet end 201 and a spray end 202; a reversing section 230 for connecting between the liquid supply device and the spray section 220; wherein, in a first operating state, the jet end 201 is connected to the liquid supply device through the reversing section 230; and when the liquid supply assembly 200 is in a second operating state, the spray end 202 is connected to the liquid supply device through the reversing section 230.

[0094] In this technical solution, the aforementioned liquid supply assembly 200 may include a spray section 220 and a reversing section 230, wherein the reversing section 230 and the spray section 220 are connected. In practical applications, the reversing section 230 can be connected between the spray section 220 and the liquid supply device. The spray section 220 has the aforementioned jet end 201 and the aforementioned spray end 202. The reversing section 230 can be used to control the liquid supply device to be connected to the spray end 202 or the jet end 201. Accordingly, in the aforementioned first working state, the liquid supply device and the jet end 201 can be connected through the reversing section 230, thereby allowing the liquid output by the liquid supply device to flow through the spray end 202 or the jet end 201. The liquid can be delivered to the spray end 201, so that the liquid supply component 200 can deliver a highly continuous liquid flow into the cooking cavity through the spray end 201, which is beneficial for rapid liquid injection into the cooking cavity. In the aforementioned second working state, the liquid supply device and the spray end 202 can be connected through the reversing part 230, so that the liquid output by the liquid supply device can be delivered to the spray end 202, so that the liquid supply component 200 can deliver a highly dispersed mist liquid into the cooking cavity through the spray end 202, thereby reducing the temperature and pressure in the cooking cavity, which is beneficial for preventing the risk of liquid overflow in the cooking cavity, or facilitating quick opening and eating after cooking.

[0095] Meanwhile, based on the aforementioned configuration, the liquid output from the jet end 201 and the spray end 202 can be supplied by the same reversing unit 230, which avoids configuring separate liquid inlet systems for the jet end 201 and the spray end 202, thereby improving the structural compactness of the liquid supply assembly 200 and reducing the cost of the liquid supply assembly 200.

[0096] It is understood that the aforementioned liquid supply device can be an external device for discharging liquid, such as a faucet; or, the liquid supply assembly 200 of the cooking appliance can include the aforementioned liquid supply device. For example, the aforementioned liquid supply device can include a liquid storage section 210 and a pumping section 240, wherein the liquid storage section 210 forms a liquid storage chamber, and the pumping section 240 is connected between the liquid storage section 210 and the reversing section 240. In the first working state, the pumping section 240 is connected to the spray end 201 through the reversing section 230; when the liquid supply assembly 200 is in the second working state, the pumping section 240 is connected to the spray end 202 through the reversing section 230. When the cooking appliance includes the aforementioned liquid storage section 210 and the aforementioned pumping section 240, the liquid supply assembly 200 can provide the power required for the liquid in the liquid storage chamber to flow to the spray section 220, thereby reducing the relative position requirements between the spray section 220 and the liquid storage section 210, facilitating the flexible arrangement of the spray section 220 and the liquid storage section 210 in practical applications, and increasing the liquid output pressure of the spray section 220, thereby improving the adaptability of the liquid supply assembly 200 to pressure cooking, making it easier for the spray section 220 to spray liquid when the pressure in the cooking chamber is high, and enhancing the reliability of the liquid supply assembly 200.

[0097] like Figure 1 As shown, in some examples, the reversing unit 230 includes: a multi-way valve 231 having an inlet end, a first outlet end, and a second outlet end, the inlet end being connected to a liquid supply device; a first distribution pipe 233 connected between the first outlet end and the spray unit 220, the first distribution pipe 233 being connected to the spray end 201; and a second distribution pipe 235 connected between the second outlet end and the spray unit 220, the second distribution pipe 235 being connected to the spray end 202; wherein, in the first operating state, the inlet end is connected to the first outlet end; and when the liquid supply assembly 200 is in the second operating state, the inlet end is connected to the second outlet end.

[0098] In this technical solution, the aforementioned reversing unit 230 may include a multi-way valve 231, a first liquid distribution pipe 233, and a second liquid distribution pipe 235. The inlet end of the multi-way valve 231 can be connected to a liquid supply device. The first liquid distribution pipe 233 connects the first outlet end of the multi-way valve 231 to the spray end 201 of the spray unit 220. The second liquid distribution pipe 235 connects the second outlet end of the multi-way valve 231 to the spray end 202 of the spray unit 220. The inlet end of the multi-way valve 231 can be connected to either the first or second outlet end. Accordingly, in the aforementioned first working state, the inlet end is connected to the first outlet end, and the connection between the inlet end and the second outlet end is closed, thereby allowing the liquid supply device to output liquid... The liquid can be supplied to the spray end 201 through the multi-way valve 231 and the first liquid distribution pipe 233, so that the liquid supply component 200 can deliver a highly continuous liquid flow into the cooking cavity through the spray end 201, which is beneficial for rapid liquid injection into the cooking cavity. In the aforementioned second working state, the liquid inlet end is connected to the second liquid outlet end, and the liquid inlet end is cut off from the first liquid outlet end. Thus, the liquid output by the liquid supply device can be supplied to the spray end 202 through the multi-way valve 231 and the second liquid distribution pipe 235, so that the liquid supply component 200 can deliver a highly dispersed mist liquid into the cooking cavity through the spray end 202, thereby reducing the temperature and pressure in the cooking cavity, which is beneficial for preventing the risk of liquid overflow in the cooking cavity, or for facilitating quick opening and eating after cooking. Furthermore, based on the aforementioned configuration, the structure of the reversing part 230 can be relatively simple, which is beneficial for further reducing the use cost of the reversing part 230, thereby reducing the overall cost of the liquid supply component 200 and the cooking appliance.

[0099] It is understandable that the aforementioned multi-way valve 231 can be a three-way valve.

[0100] like Figure 1 As shown, in some examples, the reversing part 230 further includes: a first connector 237 disposed on the pot body assembly 100, the spray part 220 connected to the first connector 237, the first connector 237 forming a first liquid channel 2371 and a second liquid channel 2372; wherein, the first liquid channel 2371 is connected between the first liquid distribution pipe 233 and the spray end 201, and the second liquid channel 2372 is connected between the second liquid distribution pipe 235 and the spray end 202.

[0101] In this technical solution, the aforementioned reversing part 230 may further include a first connector 237 disposed on the pot body assembly 100. The spray part 220 may be connected to the first connector 237, thereby improving the positional stability and reliability of the spray part 220. The aforementioned first connector 237 has a first liquid channel 2371 and a second liquid channel 2372. The aforementioned spray end 201 may be connected to the first liquid distribution pipe 233 through the first liquid channel 2371, and the aforementioned spray end 202 may be connected to the second liquid distribution pipe 235 through the second liquid channel 2372. Thus, the first connector 237 can ensure the positional stability of the spray part 220 while facilitating the spray part 220 to access liquid, providing a guarantee for the spray part 220 to stably and reliably deliver liquid to the cooking space 101.

[0102] For example, the pot assembly 100 may include a pot body portion 110 and a pot lid portion 120. The pot body portion 110 forms a connected pot opening and a cooking space 101. The pot lid portion 120 is used to cover or open the pot opening. The aforementioned first connector 237 may be disposed on the pot lid portion 120, so that the spray portion 220 is correspondingly located on the pot lid portion 120, so that the spray portion 220 sprays liquid into the cooking cavity and facilitates expanding the coverage area when the spray portion 220 sprays.

[0103] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in some examples, the reversing unit 230 includes: a third liquid distribution pipe 232 for connection to a liquid supply device; a second connector 234 movably connected to the spray unit 220, the second connector 234 forming a third liquid channel 2341 and a fourth liquid channel 2342; and a driving member 236 for driving the second connector 234 to move relative to the spray unit 220; wherein, in a first operating state, the third liquid channel 2341 is connected between the third liquid distribution pipe 232 and the spray end 201; and when the liquid supply assembly 200 is in a second operating state, the fourth liquid channel 2342 is connected between the third liquid distribution pipe 232 and the spray end 202.

[0104] In this technical solution, the aforementioned reversing unit 230 may include a third liquid distribution pipe 232, a second connecting member 234, and a driving member 236. The third liquid distribution pipe 232 can be connected between the liquid supply device and the second connecting member 234. The second connecting member 234 is movably connected to the spray unit 220 and forms a third liquid channel 2341 and a fourth liquid channel 2342. The driving member 236 can drive the second connecting member 234 to move. The second connecting member 234 can adjust the position and communication relationship of the third liquid channel 2341 and the fourth liquid channel 2342 by moving relative to the spray unit 220. Accordingly, in the aforementioned first working state, the third liquid channel 2341 is connected between the third liquid distribution pipe 232 and the spray end 201, and the fourth liquid channel 2342 can be in a closed state with respect to the third liquid distribution pipe 232, thereby allowing the liquid to flow smoothly. The liquid output from the supply device can be supplied to the spray end 201 through the third liquid distribution pipe 232 and the third liquid channel 2341, so that the liquid supply component 200 can deliver a liquid flow with a high degree of distribution to the cooking cavity through the spray end 201, which is beneficial to realize rapid liquid injection into the cooking cavity. In the aforementioned second working state, the aforementioned fourth liquid channel 2342 is connected between the third liquid distribution pipe 232 and the spray end 202, and the third liquid channel 2341 and the third liquid distribution pipe 232 can be in a closed state, so that the liquid output from the liquid supply device can be supplied to the spray end 202 through the third liquid distribution pipe 232 and the fourth liquid channel 2342, so that the liquid supply component 200 can deliver a mist liquid with a high degree of distribution to the cooking cavity through the spray end 202, thereby reducing the temperature and pressure in the cooking cavity, which is beneficial to prevent the risk of liquid overflow in the cooking cavity, or to facilitate quick opening and eating after cooking. Meanwhile, based on the aforementioned configuration, the number of valve components between the spray section 220 and the pumping section 240 can be reduced, thereby avoiding the valve components from limiting the liquid output pressure of the spray section 220 and further improving the adaptability of the liquid supply assembly 200 to pressure cooking.

[0105] It should be noted that, Figure 2 The first operating state of the liquid supply assembly 200 is schematically shown; Figure 3 The second operating state of the liquid supply assembly 200 is schematically shown.

[0106] For example, the pot assembly 100 may include a pot body portion 110 and a pot lid portion 120. The pot body portion 110 forms a connected pot opening and a cooking space 101. The pot lid portion 120 is used to cover or open the pot opening. The aforementioned second connector 234 is movably disposed on the pot lid portion 120, so that the spray portion 220 is correspondingly located on the pot lid portion 120, so that the spray portion 220 sprays liquid into the cooking cavity, and facilitates expanding the coverage area when the spray portion 220 sprays.

[0107] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, in some examples, the pot assembly 100 includes: a pot body portion 110 having a pot opening and a cooking space 101, the pot opening being connected to the cooking space 101; a pot lid portion 120 for covering or opening the pot opening; wherein, the jet end 201 and the spray end 202 are both located in the pot lid portion 120.

[0108] In this technical solution, the aforementioned pot assembly 100 may include a pot body portion 110 and a pot lid portion 120. The pot body portion 110 forms a connected pot opening and a cooking space 101. The pot lid portion 120 is used to cover or open the pot opening, thereby facilitating the loading and unloading of ingredients into the cooking space 101 in practical applications. It can also ensure the stability of the environmental parameters of the cooking space 101 during the cooking process, improve the cleanliness of the cooking space 101, and help ensure the cooking effect of the ingredients and facilitate pressure cooking of the ingredients. Correspondingly, the aforementioned spray end 201 and spray end 202 can both be located in the pot lid portion 120, thereby facilitating the spraying part 220 to spray liquid into the cooking chamber and helping to expand the coverage area when the spraying part 220 sprays.

[0109] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, in some examples, the lid portion 120 is formed with an installation space 102, and at least a portion of the liquid supply assembly 200 is disposed within the installation space 102.

[0110] In this technical solution, the aforementioned pot lid portion 120 can form an installation space 102, and at least a portion of the aforementioned liquid supply component 200 can be disposed within the installation space 102. Based on the aforementioned arrangement, the structural compactness of the cooking appliance can be improved, the miniaturization level of the cooking appliance can be enhanced, and the exposure degree of the liquid supply component 200 can be reduced, which is beneficial to reducing the risk of damage to the liquid supply component 200.

[0111] For example, the aforementioned pumping unit 240 and reversing unit 230 can be disposed within the aforementioned installation space 102, while the aforementioned liquid storage unit 210 and the aforementioned spraying unit 220 can be disposed outside the installation space 102. This reduces the volume restriction of the liquid storage unit 210 by the pot lid 120, facilitates the expansion of the volume of the liquid storage unit 210, allows the liquid storage unit 210 to store more liquid, reduces the frequency of liquid replenishment in the liquid storage unit 210 in practical applications, and reduces the impact of the pot lid 120 on the spraying range of the spraying unit 220, thereby expanding the spraying range of the spraying unit 220.

[0112] In some examples, the pot body assembly 100 also includes an exhaust valve disposed on the lid portion 120, the air inlet of the exhaust valve being connected to the cooking space 101.

[0113] In this technical solution, the aforementioned pot body assembly 100 may further include an exhaust valve disposed on the pot lid portion 120. The air inlet end of the aforementioned exhaust valve is used to connect to the cooking space 101. The exhaust valve has an open state and a closed state. Accordingly, when the exhaust valve is in the open state, the cooking space 101 can connect to the external environment through the exhaust valve to facilitate pressure release; when the exhaust valve is in the closed state, the cooking space 101 can have a high degree of sealing, thereby facilitating the pressure build-up or pressure maintenance of the cooking space 101 for pressure cooking of the food.

[0114] It is understood that the opening duration and / or opening degree of the aforementioned exhaust valve can be adjustable, thereby improving the depressurization flexibility and controllability of the cooking space 101.

[0115] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, in some examples, the cooking appliance also includes: a heating element 300 for heating the pot body assembly 100; and a housing assembly 400 having a receiving space, in which both the pot body 110 and the heating element 300 are disposed.

[0116] In this technical solution, the aforementioned cooking appliance may further include a heating element 300 and a housing assembly 400. The heating element 300 can be used to heat the pot body assembly 100 to provide the heat required for cooking the food. The pot body 110 and the heating element 300 can both be housed within the accommodating space of the housing assembly 400. This reduces heat loss during cooking, improving the cooking efficiency of the appliance. It also prevents accidental contact with the pot body 110 or the heating element 300, reducing the risk of burns and enhancing the safety and user experience of the appliance. Furthermore, it improves the aesthetics and structural reliability of the appliance, reducing the likelihood of damage to the pot body 110 and the heating element 300.

[0117] like Figure 4 As shown, a second aspect of the present disclosure provides a method for controlling a cooking appliance, for use with a cooking appliance as described in any of the first aspects above, the method comprising:

[0118] Step S401: In response to the cooking command, control the liquid supply component 200 to deliver a first preset liquid volume to the cooking space 101 in a first working state;

[0119] Specifically, the cooking appliance can respond to the cooking instructions issued by the user. Accordingly, the liquid supply component 200 can be controlled to deliver the aforementioned first preset liquid volume to the cooking space 101 in a first working state, so as to use the aforementioned liquid to cook the food. Furthermore, the liquid filling efficiency can be improved by spraying a liquid flow with a high degree of continuity.

[0120] It is understood that the aforementioned cooking instructions may include the aforementioned first preset liquid volume, that is, the first preset liquid volume may be set at the factory and can be automatically called based on the cooking instructions; or, the aforementioned first preset liquid volume may be set by the user. At the same time, the value of the aforementioned first preset liquid volume can be selected according to actual needs, for example, it can be selected according to the recipe, without further limitations here.

[0121] Understandably, in practical applications, users can put the ingredients to be cooked into the cooking space 101 before issuing the aforementioned cooking command, and then issue a cooking command to the cooking appliance to add liquid for cooking the aforementioned ingredients into the cooking space 101 through the liquid supply component 200.

[0122] It is understood that the aforementioned liquid may include, but is not limited to, water.

[0123] Step S402: Heating the pot body assembly 100;

[0124] Specifically, after the liquid supply component 200 delivers a first preset amount of liquid into the cooking space 101, the pot body component 100 can be heated to provide the heat required for cooking the food and to cause the liquid to boil and vaporize, thereby increasing the pressure in the cooking space 101 and facilitating pressure cooking.

[0125] It is understood that when the cooking appliance includes the aforementioned heating component 300, the aforementioned heating component 300 can be controlled to heat the pot body component 100.

[0126] Step S403: When the temperature of the pot body assembly 100 is greater than or equal to the first temperature threshold or the pressure of the cooking space 101 is greater than or equal to the first pressure threshold, control the liquid supply assembly 200 to deliver a second preset liquid volume to the cooking space 101 in a second working state.

[0127] Specifically, as the pot assembly 100 is heated, the temperature of the pot assembly 100 and the pressure in the cooking space 101 will increase. Correspondingly, the liquid level in the cooking space 101 will rise and the possibility of overflow will increase. Therefore, when the temperature of the pot assembly 100 is greater than or equal to a first temperature threshold or the pressure in the cooking space 101 is greater than or equal to a first pressure threshold, the liquid supply assembly 200 can be controlled to operate in a second working state and deliver a second preset amount of liquid into the cooking space 101. In this way, by spraying a highly dispersed mist liquid into the cooking space 101, the temperature and pressure in the cooking space 101 can be limited, reducing the boiling degree of the liquid in the cooking space 101 and helping to reduce the risk of liquid overflow.

[0128] It is understandable that the aforementioned first temperature threshold and first pressure threshold can be determined based on tests of cooking appliances, and no further restrictions are imposed here.

[0129] It is understood that the aforementioned second preset liquid volume can be set by the user or set at the factory, and the aforementioned second preset liquid volume can be relatively small. For example, the second preset liquid volume can be less than or equal to 100mL, such as 10mL, 15mL, 25mL, 50mL, 75mL, etc., so as to avoid spraying too much liquid into the cooking space 101 during the anti-overflow process, which is conducive to ensuring the cooking effect of the cooking appliance.

[0130] In summary, the cooking appliance control method proposed in the second aspect of this disclosure can be used to control the cooking appliance proposed in the first aspect. By controlling the liquid supply component 200 to deliver the aforementioned first preset liquid volume to the cooking space 101 in a first working state under the cooking command, rapid liquid injection into the cooking space 101 can be achieved. Furthermore, by controlling the liquid supply component 200 to deliver the second preset liquid volume to the cooking space 101 in a second working state when the temperature of the pot body component 100 is greater than or equal to a first temperature threshold or the pressure of the cooking space 101 is greater than or equal to a first pressure threshold, the risk of liquid overflow in the cooking space 101 can be reduced, which is beneficial to ensuring the cleanliness of cooking and reducing the user's cleaning burden.

[0131] In some examples, the aforementioned step S401 includes:

[0132] In response to a cooking command, the pot assembly 100 is heated to a target temperature, which is greater than or equal to the boiling point of the liquid.

[0133] The liquid supply component 200 is controlled to operate in the first working state until the output liquid volume of the liquid supply component 200 reaches the first preset injection volume.

[0134] Specifically, in response to a cooking command, the cooking appliance controls the liquid supply component 200 to supply a first preset amount of liquid to the cooking space 101 in a first working state. It can prioritize heating the pot body component 100 to a target temperature greater than or equal to the boiling point of the liquid. Then, it controls the liquid supply component 200 to operate in the first working state, supplying the first preset amount of liquid to the cooking space 101. This ensures that the pot body component 100 already has a high temperature when the liquid is added to the cooking space 101, allowing the liquid to heat up and vaporize more quickly. This, in turn, allows the pressure in the cooking space 101 to rise more rapidly, reducing cooking time and preventing food from aging during cooking. It also helps improve the color, texture, and aroma of the food after cooking, enhancing the cooking effect of the appliance and the user experience.

[0135] In some examples, when the cooking appliance includes a heating element 300, the aforementioned step S402 includes:

[0136] The heating element 300 is controlled to operate at full power to heat the pot body assembly 100.

[0137] Specifically, when the cooking appliance includes the aforementioned heating component 300, the heating component 300 can be controlled to operate at full power to heat the pot body component 100 during the heating process. This can further increase the heating rate of the pot body component 100 and promote faster vaporization of the liquid in the cooking space 101. It can also increase the pressure rise rate in the cooking space 101, which helps to reduce cooking time, prevent food from aging due to cooking time, improve the color, taste and aroma of the food after cooking, and enhance the cooking effect of the cooking appliance and the user experience.

[0138] It is understandable that the full-power operation of the heating component 300 means that the heating component 300 operates at its maximum heating power, thereby fully utilizing the heating performance of the heating component 300 and increasing the heating rate of the pot body component 100.

[0139] In some examples, the control methods also include:

[0140] When the cooking time of the cooking appliance reaches the preset time, the liquid supply component 200 is controlled to deliver a third preset amount of liquid to the cooking space 101 in a second working state.

[0141] Specifically, when the cooking time of the cooking appliance reaches the preset time, it indicates that the cooking process has been completed. Accordingly, the liquid supply component 200 can be controlled to operate in a second working state and deliver a third preset amount of liquid into the cooking space 101. In this way, by spraying a highly dispersed mist liquid into the cooking space 101, the pressure and temperature in the cooking space 101 are reduced, which facilitates rapid depressurization after the cooking appliance has performed pressure cooking, making it convenient for users to quickly take food after cooking and further improving the user experience of the cooking appliance.

[0142] It is understood that the aforementioned preset cooking time can be set by the user; or, the aforementioned cooking instructions may include the aforementioned preset cooking time. The specific value of the preset cooking time can be selected according to actual needs, and no further restrictions are imposed here.

[0143] It is understood that the aforementioned third preset liquid volume can be set by the user or set at the factory, and the aforementioned third preset liquid volume can be relatively small. For example, the third preset liquid volume can be less than or equal to 100mL, such as 10mL, 15mL, 25mL, 50mL, 75mL, etc., so as to avoid spraying too much liquid into the cooking space 101 during the depressurization process, which is conducive to ensuring the cooking effect of the cooking appliance.

[0144] In some examples, where the pot assembly 100 includes an exhaust valve, the control method further includes:

[0145] When the cooking time of the cooking appliance reaches the preset time, the exhaust valve will be opened.

[0146] Specifically, when the pot body assembly 100 includes the aforementioned exhaust valve, when the cooking time of the cooking appliance reaches the preset time, while controlling the liquid supply assembly 200 to deliver a third preset amount of liquid to the cooking space 101 in the second working state, the aforementioned exhaust valve is controlled to open. Thus, the cooking space 101 can be connected to the external environment through the exhaust valve to facilitate pressure release, which can further improve the depressurization speed of the cooking space 101, making it convenient for users to quickly take food after cooking, and further improving the user experience of the cooking appliance.

[0147] In some examples, the exhaust valve is opened when the cooking time of the cooking appliance reaches a preset time, including:

[0148] When the cooking time of the cooking appliance reaches the preset time, control the vent valve to open for the first preset time;

[0149] When the temperature of the pot body assembly 100 is less than or equal to the second temperature threshold or the pressure of the cooking space 101 is less than or equal to the second pressure threshold, the exhaust valve is controlled to open for a second preset duration, the second temperature threshold is less than the first temperature threshold, and the second pressure threshold is less than the first pressure threshold.

[0150] or

[0151] When the cooking time of the cooking appliance reaches the preset time, the exhaust valve is controlled to open at the preset opening degree;

[0152] When the temperature of the pot body assembly 100 is less than or equal to the third temperature threshold or the pressure of the cooking space 101 is less than or equal to the third pressure threshold, the opening of the exhaust valve is increased, the third temperature threshold is less than the first temperature threshold, and the third pressure threshold is less than the first pressure threshold.

[0153] Specifically, with the opening duration of the exhaust valve adjustable, when the cooking time reaches the preset time, the exhaust valve can be controlled to open for a first preset time to initially depressurize the cooking space 101. Combined with the mist sprayed by the liquid supply component 200, the temperature and pressure within the cooking space 101 can decrease at a relatively high rate. By limiting the opening duration of the exhaust valve during the initial depressurization process, the liquid in the cooking space 101 can be prevented from overflowing due to re-boiling after the pressure drops, thus ensuring the safety and cleanliness of the depressurization process. After the exhaust valve has been open for the first preset time, if the temperature of the pot assembly 100 is less than or equal to the second temperature threshold or the pressure in the cooking space 101 is less than or equal to the second pressure threshold, the probability of the liquid re-boiling due to further pressure reduction is low. Therefore, the exhaust valve can be opened again for a second preset time to further depressurize the cooking space 101, thereby increasing the depressurization speed of the cooking space 101 and facilitating quick food consumption after cooking.

[0154] Alternatively, with the vent valve opening adjustable, when the cooking time reaches the preset duration, the vent valve can be controlled to open at the preset opening to initially depressurize the cooking space 101. Combined with the mist sprayed by the liquid supply component 200, the temperature and pressure within the cooking space 101 can decrease at a relatively high rate. It is understood that the aforementioned preset opening is less than the maximum opening of the vent valve. Therefore, by limiting the opening of the vent valve during the initial depressurization process, it is possible to prevent the liquid in the cooking space 101 from overflowing excessively due to re-boiling after the pressure drops, thus ensuring the safety and cleanliness of the depressurization process. As the depressurization process continues, if the temperature of the pot assembly 100 is less than or equal to the second temperature threshold or the pressure in the cooking space 101 is less than or equal to the second pressure threshold, the probability of the liquid boiling violently due to further pressure reduction is low. Therefore, the opening of the vent valve can be increased to depressurize the cooking space 101 more quickly, allowing users to quickly retrieve the food after cooking.

[0155] It is understood that the aforementioned first preset duration can be relatively short. For example, the first preset duration can be less than or equal to 2s, such as 0.1s, 0.5s, 0.8s, 1s, 1.5s, etc., which helps to prevent liquid from overflowing through the exhaust valve. The aforementioned second preset duration can be relatively long. For example, the aforementioned second preset duration can be greater than or equal to the first preset duration, in order to accelerate the pressure release of the cooking space 101.

[0156] It is understood that the aforementioned first and second preset durations can be set at the factory or can be set by the user.

[0157] It is understood that the aforementioned second temperature threshold is lower than the aforementioned first temperature threshold, and the aforementioned second pressure threshold is lower than the aforementioned first pressure threshold. That is, the second temperature threshold and the first temperature threshold can be relatively low, thereby reducing the probability of the liquid re-boiling due to pressure reduction. The specific values ​​of the second temperature threshold and the first temperature threshold can be determined based on testing, and are not limited here.

[0158] It is understandable that the aforementioned third temperature threshold is lower than the aforementioned first temperature threshold, and the aforementioned third pressure threshold is lower than the aforementioned first pressure threshold. That is, the third temperature threshold and the first temperature threshold can be relatively low, thereby reducing the probability of the liquid re-boiling due to pressure reduction. The specific values ​​of the third temperature threshold and the first temperature threshold can be determined based on testing, and are not limited here.
