Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of kitchen equipment technology, specifically to a stirring cooking mechanism and a cooking utensil. Background Technology

[0002] Current cooking equipment, such as stir-fry machines, tends to cause oil to splatter and food to fall out of the pot when the stirring claws are used to stir-fry the food.

[0003] Some cooking machines are equipped with a protective enclosure. Specifically, the enclosure is a ring-shaped structure connected end to end, sitting on the pot body. This means that when the cooking machine needs cleaning, the enclosure must be removed first, a cumbersome and inefficient process. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To at least partially address the problems existing in the prior art, according to one aspect of the present invention, a stirring cooking mechanism is provided. The stirring cooking mechanism includes: a pot body; a movable arm; a stirring element rotatably connected to the movable arm; and a baffle member connected to the movable arm via a connecting assembly so that the movable arm drives the baffle member to move relative to the pot body. The baffle member encloses and forms a baffle space inside the pot body, and at least a portion of the structure of the stirring element is located within the baffle space.

[0005] The mixing and cooking mechanism provided in this application features a baffle component that forms an enclosed space. When positioned on the pot body, this effectively extends the height of the pot. Oil, food splashes, or other contaminants inside the pot will preferentially adhere to the baffle component, better preventing spills onto work surfaces such as tabletops. A moving arm moves the baffle component and the mixing component relative to the pot body, positioning the baffle component on the pot body to provide its enclosing function, while the mixing component stirs the food. The moving arm then moves the baffle component and mixing component away from the pot body, facilitating the removal of food. The assembly and disassembly of the baffle component relative to the pot body is simpler and more convenient. Furthermore, the separate design of the baffle component and pot body allows for compatibility with different pot bodies, reducing the cost of pot body accessories and making it easier for users to change pots of different types.

[0006] For example, the connection component and the mobile arm are detachably connected.

[0007] For example, the connection component and the enclosure component are detachably connected.

[0008] For example, the connecting component includes at least one first connector connected between the movable arm and the enclosure member, the movable arm driving the enclosure member to lift or lower via the first connector.

[0009] For example, the first connector includes a linkage sleeve.

[0010] For example, the first connector includes a slider sleeve, on which a first slider connector is disposed that at least partially overlaps with the slider sleeve.

[0011] For example, the first slider connector is disposed on the enclosure member and is slidable relative to the enclosure member, and the slider sleeve is connected between the first slider connector and the movable arm, or...

[0012] The first slider connector includes a first slider and a first cylindrical part. The first slider slides in the first cylindrical part. One of the movable arm and the enclosure is connected to the first slider through a slider sleeve, and the other of the movable arm and the enclosure is connected to the first cylindrical part.

[0013] For example, the movable arm is provided with a rotating connection part, and a second connector is provided between the rotating connection part and the enclosure member, the second connector enabling the movable arm to be movably connected to the enclosure member.

[0014] For example, the second connector includes a link, a retaining member, and / or a swivel connection that is movably connected to the link.

[0015] For example, the second connector also includes a second slider, which is fixedly or rotatably connected to the connecting rod. The enclosure is provided with a slide rail, and the second slider is slidably connected to the slide rail. When the second slider slides to the top of the slide rail, it drives the enclosure away from the pot body.

[0016] For example, the moving arm has a rotating part for connecting to an external structure, and the stirring cooking mechanism has a first state;

[0017] When the stirring and cooking mechanism is in the first state, the moving arm drives the stirring component to rotate around the rotating part, and the part of the enclosure connected to the second connector is closer to the pot body than the part of the enclosure connected to the first connector.

[0018] For example, the stirring cooking mechanism has a second state;

[0019] When the mixing cooking mechanism is in the second state, the bottom of the mixing element is lower than the bottom of the enclosure element.

[0020] For example, the moving arm has a rotating part for connection with an external structure, and the stirring cooking mechanism has a third state;

[0021] When the stirring cooking mechanism is in the third state, the moving arm drives the stirring component to rotate around the rotating part, so that the stirring component leaves the pot body before the blocking component.

[0022] For example, the connecting assembly includes at least one connecting arm and a mounting base connected to the movable arm. The at least one connecting arm passes through the mounting base and is movably engaged with the enclosure member, so that when the movable arm rotates, the connecting arm can drive the enclosure member to approach or detach from the pot body.

[0023] For example, there are at least two connecting arms, each of which is movably engaged with the enclosure component via a hook structure. At least one of the hook structures is provided with a telescopic rod between itself and its corresponding connecting arm. An adjustment knob is provided on the telescopic rod, and the distance between each hook structure is adjusted by turning the adjustment knob.

[0024] For example, the mounting base is connected between the movable arm and the agitator, and the side of the mounting base opposite to the agitator has an elastic element between it and the movable arm.

[0025] For example, the bottom edge of the enclosure member and the top end of the movable arm are at a first distance in the axial direction of rotation of the agitator, and the bottom edge of the agitator and the top end of the movable arm are at a second distance in the axial direction of rotation of the agitator, wherein the first distance is greater than the second distance.

[0026] According to another aspect of the present invention, a cooking appliance is also provided. The cooking appliance may include any of the above-described stirring cooking mechanisms, and the baffle includes a baffle body and a guide portion connected to the top of the baffle body. The baffle space is located inside the baffle body, and the guide portion is inclined upward in a direction away from the baffle space.

[0027] A series of simplified concepts are introduced in the description of the invention, which will be further explained in detail in the detailed description section. This description is not intended to limit the key features and essential technical features of the claimed technical solution, nor is it intended to limit the scope of protection of the claimed technical solution.

[0044] In the following description, numerous details are provided to enable a thorough understanding of the invention. However, those skilled in the art will appreciate that the following description merely illustrates preferred embodiments of the invention, and that the invention can be practiced without one or more of these details. Furthermore, to avoid obscuring the invention, some technical features well-known in the art have not been described in detail.

[0045] This invention provides a stirring cooking mechanism. (See attached image.) Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 10 and Figure 11 The stirring cooking mechanism 10 includes a pot body 20, a movable arm 110, a stirring element 120, and a baffle 130. The stirring element 120 is rotatably connected to the movable arm 110 and is used to stir ingredients. The baffle 130 is connected to the movable arm 110 via a connecting assembly 140, allowing the movable arm 110 to move the baffle 130 relative to the pot body 20. The baffle 130 encloses and forms a baffle space within the pot body 20, and at least a portion of the structure of the stirring element 120 is located within this baffle space. The baffle 130 may be annular to fit the pot body 20. A cooking space for cooking ingredients is formed within the pot body 20. Specifically, the baffle 130 may partially sit inside the pot body 20, abutting against the side wall of the pot body 20, such as... Figure 1 The cooking space and the enclosure space are connected and partially overlap. Alternatively, the enclosure 130 can be mounted on top of the pot body 20, such as... Figure 10 The cooking space and the enclosure space are adjacent to and connected. Part of the stirring component 120 is located within the enclosure space, and a portion of it may extend into the cooking space of the pot body 20 to stir the ingredients. Ingredients located in the cooking space and those in the enclosure space are prevented from splashing out by the enclosure component 130. The moving arm 110 drives the connecting component 140 and the enclosure component 130, all three moving together relative to the pot body 20. The moving arm 110 can move the enclosure component 130, allowing it to sit on the pot body 20, thus enclosing it, or it can move the enclosure component 130 away from the pot body 20, preventing the enclosure component 130 from increasing the overall weight of the pot body 20 when food needs to be removed from the pot body 20, facilitating the removal of food from the pot body 20 after cooking.

[0046] The stirring and cooking mechanism 10 provided in this application includes a baffle 130 that forms a confined space. When the baffle 130 is positioned on the pot body 20, it effectively extends the height of the pot body 20. Oil, food spills, or splashes within the pot body 20 will preferentially adhere to the baffle 130, better preventing spills onto the work surface. The moving arm 110 moves the baffle 130 and the stirring element 120 relative to the pot body 20, allowing the baffle 130 to sit on the pot body 20, thus achieving its confining function, while the stirring element 120 stirs the ingredients. The moving arm 110 moves the baffle 130 and the stirring element 120 away from the pot body 20, facilitating the removal of food. The assembly and disassembly of the baffle 130 relative to the pot body 20 is simpler and more convenient. Meanwhile, the enclosure 130 is set separately from the pot body 20, which can be adapted to different pot bodies 20, reduce the cost of pot body 20 accessories, and make it convenient for users to replace different types of pot bodies 20.

[0047] For example, in conjunction with reference Figure 3 , Figure 5 , Figure 11 and Figure 12 The connecting assembly 140 and the movable arm 110 can be detachably connected, and / or the connecting assembly 140 and the enclosure member 130 can be detachably connected. That is, the connecting assembly 140 is detachable from at least one of the movable arm 110 and the enclosure member 130. Figure 3 and Figure 11 The connecting component 140 and the enclosure component 130 are connected. Figure 5 and Figure 12 The connecting assembly 140 and the barrier 130 are detached. This configuration allows the barrier 130 and the movable arm 110 to be separated. After cooking, the operator can remove the barrier 130 for independent cleaning, and then reinstall it with the movable arm 110, ensuring cleanliness during cooking, simplifying operation, and improving efficiency. In embodiments not shown, the barrier is non-detachable from both the connecting assembly and the movable arm.

[0048] For example, the connecting assembly 140 may include at least one first connector connected between the movable arm 110 and the enclosure member 130, through which the movable arm 110 can lift or lower the enclosure member 130. One end of the first connector is connected to the enclosure member 130, and the other end is connected to the movable arm 110. The first connector can be any structure with a connecting function, such as... Figures 9 to 12 The linkage 1411 shown can also be as follows: Figures 1 to 7The connecting arm 1430 shown, or any other structure with a connecting function, is used. The first connecting member allows the moving arm 110 to lift or lower the enclosure 130 to perform corresponding lifting and moving operations. The structure is simple and reasonable.

[0049] For example, refer to Figure 9 , Figure 10 , Figure 11 and Figure 12 The first connecting member may include a linkage rod 1411. Specifically, the linkage rod 1411 may include a cylinder and a connecting rod that is telescopically connected to the cylinder. Based on the connection between the baffle 130 and the moving arm 110, the linkage rod 1411 can realize changes in the relative position between the baffle 130 and the moving arm 110. It is understood that when the stirring member 120 is working, the overall position of the stirring member 120 may need to change, such as swinging up and down, and the moving arm 110 drives the stirring member 120 to swing. The linkage rod 1411 ensures that the position of the baffle 130 relative to the pot body 20 remains unchanged when the moving arm 110 moves, and the baffle 130 can always sit on the pot body 20. In this way, the stirring member can better stir the food, ensuring the cooking effect, and the baffle 130 can always sit on the pot body 20, ensuring the baffle effect of the baffle 130.

[0050] For example, refer to Figure 14 and Figure 15 The first connecting member may include a slider sleeve 1412, on which a first slider connector 1413 may be provided, at least partially overlapping with the slider sleeve 1412. Through the cooperation between the first slider connector 1413 and the slider sleeve 1412, the relative position between the blocking member 130 and the moving arm 110 can be changed based on the connection between the blocking member 130 and the moving arm 110. This arrangement ensures that the stirring member 120 can better stir the food, guaranteeing both the cooking effect and the blocking function of the blocking member 130.

[0051] The connection method between the first slider connector 1413 and the slider sleeve 1412 can be set according to usage requirements. In one embodiment, such as... Figure 14 As shown, the first slider connector 1413 can be disposed on the enclosure member 130 and slidable relative to the enclosure member 130. The slider sleeve 1412 can be connected between the first slider connector 1413 and the moving arm 110. In another embodiment, as shown... Figure 15As shown, the first slider connector 1413 may include a first slider and a first cylindrical portion. The first slider slides within the first cylindrical portion. One of the moving arm 110 and the retaining member 130 is connected to the first slider via a slider sleeve 1412, and the other of the moving arm 110 and the retaining member 130 is connected to the first cylindrical portion. Taking the moving arm 110 connected to the slider sleeve 1412 and the first slider as an example, and the retaining member 130 connected to the first cylindrical portion, when the moving arm 110 moves, the slider sleeve 1412 and the first slider insert or retract together into the first cylindrical portion, thus achieving a change in the relative position between the retaining member 130 and the moving arm 110. In this way, the length of the first connector can be changed through the arrangement of the first slider connector 1413 and the slider sleeve 1412, resulting in a simpler structural design.

[0052] For example, in conjunction with reference Figure 9 , Figure 10 , Figure 14 and Figure 15 The movable arm 110 may be provided with a rotatable connecting part 1130, and a second connecting part 1420 may be provided between the rotatable connecting part 1130 and the enclosure member 130. The second connecting part 1420 allows the movable arm 110 and the enclosure member 130 to be movably connected. Specifically, the second connecting part 1420 allows the movable arm 110 to slide up and down and / or rotate relative to the enclosure member 130. The provision of the second connecting part 1420 allows for more flexible relative movement between the movable arm 110 and the enclosure member 130, so as to meet the movement of the movable arm 110 and the stirring member 120 relative to the enclosure member 130 under various working conditions.

[0053] For example, in conjunction with reference Figure 9 , Figure 10 Figure 13 The second connecting member 1420 may include a connecting rod 1422, a retaining member 130, and / or a rotatable connecting portion 1130 movably connected to the connecting rod 1422. That is, the connecting rod 1422 is rotatable relative to the retaining member 130, and / or, the connecting rod 1422 is rotatable relative to the movable arm 110. The arrangement of the connecting rod 1422 allows the movable arm 110 to rotate relative to the retaining member 130.

[0054] For example, in conjunction with reference Figure 10 and Figure 13The second connecting member 1420 may further include a second slider 1421, which may be fixedly or rotatably connected to the connecting rod 1422. A slide rail 1310 may be provided on the enclosure member 130, and the second slider 1421 may be slidably connected to the slide rail 1310. When the second slider 1421 slides to the top of the slide rail 1310, it drives the enclosure member 130 away from the pot body 20. Through the cooperation of the slide rail 1310 and the second slider 1421, the moving arm 110 can swing up and down relative to the enclosure member 130 when the moving arm 110 and the enclosure member 130 are connected. When the enclosure member 130 is seated on the pot body 20, the moving arm 110 and the stirring member 120 can swing relative to the pot body 20. The slide rail 1310 may extend along the height direction of the enclosure member 130. The top end of the slide rail 1310 can be as close as possible to the highest point of the enclosure member 130, and the bottom end of the slide rail 1310 can be as close as possible to the lowest point of the enclosure member 130. Exemplarily, a limiting member 1320 can be provided at the top and / or bottom ends of the slide rail 1310, and the second slider 1421 slides along the slide rail 1310 between the top and bottom limit positions. In the embodiment where the limiting member 1320 is provided at the top end of the slide rail 1310, when the second slider 1421 moves to the top limit position, at least one of the second slider 1421 and the connecting rod 1422 abuts against the limiting member 1320. At this time, the moving arm 110 can no longer move upward relative to the enclosure member 130. Further upward movement of the moving arm 110 would cause the enclosure member 130 to move away from the pot body 20. This process can be referred to... Figures 10 to 11 In embodiments where a limiting member 1320 is provided at the bottom end of the slide rail 1310, when the second slider 1421 moves to the bottom limit position, at least one of the second slider 1421 and the connecting rod 1422 abuts against the limiting member 1320 to prevent the second slider 1421 from falling off. Exemplarily, the limiting member 1320 can be a magnetic element, and the second slider 1421 and / or the connecting rod 1422 can be magnetic metal elements. The second slider 1421 and / or the connecting rod 1422 can be better fitted and fixed to the limiting member 1320, so that the connecting arm 1430 can be better confined to the corresponding top or bottom limit position.

[0055] For example, in conjunction with reference Figure 10 , Figure 12 and Figure 13 The movable arm 110 may be provided with a first connecting hole 1131, and the second connecting member 1420 may further include a fastener 1423. The fastener 1423 can pass through the first connecting hole 1131 and the second connecting hole 14221 opened on the connecting rod 1422, so that the connecting rod 1422 is rotatably connected to the movable arm 110. For example, the fastener 1423 may be a quick-release pin, which facilitates the assembly and disassembly between the enclosure member 130 and the movable arm 110.

[0056] For example, refer to Figure 11The movable arm 110 may have a rotating portion 1120 for connection with an external structure, and the stirring cooking mechanism 10 has a first state. In the first state, the movable arm 110 drives the stirring element 120 to rotate around the rotating portion 1120. The portion of the retaining member 130 connected to the second connector 1420 is closer to the pot body 20 than the portion of the retaining member 130 connected to the first connector. It can be understood that the portion connected to the first connector and the retaining member 130 is the first part, and the portion connected to the second connector 1420 and the retaining member 130 is the second part. In the first state, the second part is closer to the pot body 20. In the first state, the movable arm 110 can drive the stirring element 120 to rotate; this state can be understood as the movable arm 110 driving the stirring element 120 and the retaining member 130 to lower together. In this way, the moving arm 110 rotates around the rotating part 1120, causing the stirring component 120 and the baffle component 130 to rotate together, so that the baffle component 130 can sit on the pot body 20 for subsequent cooking. At the end of the first state, the baffle component 130 is in contact with the pot body 20. After the end of the first state, the stirring component 120 is in contact with the pot body 20. That is, when the stirring component 120 is in contact with the pot body 20, the baffle component 130 is already in contact with the pot body 20 to provide a baffle, which can prevent food from splashing out.

[0057] For example, refer to Figure 9 The stirring cooking mechanism 10 can have a second state. In this second state, the bottom edge of the stirring element 120 can be lower than the bottom edge of the baffle element 130. The second state can be understood as the state when the stirring element 120 is performing stirring operations, at which point the baffle element 130 is already seated on the pot body 20. This arrangement allows the stirring element 120 to more fully contact and stir the ingredients within the pot body 20, ensuring optimal cooking results.

[0058] For example, refer to Figure 10The movable arm 110 may have a rotating part 1120 for connection with an external structure, and the stirring cooking mechanism 10 may have a third state. When the stirring cooking mechanism 10 is in the third state, the movable arm 110 can drive the stirring element 120 to rotate around the rotating part 1120, so that the stirring element 120 can leave the pot body 20 before the blocking element 130. The third state can be understood as the movable arm 110 driving the stirring element 120 to lift. Specifically, the movable arm 110 drives the stirring element 120 to rotate, at which time the blocking element 130 is stationary relative to the pot body 20 (this process can be achieved by the extension of the first connecting member). When the movable arm 110 rotates to a certain extent (the length of the first connecting member has reached its limit), the connecting rod 1422 and the second slider 1421 are magnetically attached to the limiting member 1320. Then, the moving arm 110 continues to move, causing the stirring component 120 and the baffle component 130 to rotate together, that is, lifting the baffle component 130 and the stirring component 120 (this part can be understood as the fourth state after the third state). With this setting, when the stirring and cooking mechanism 10 is in the third state, during the process of the moving arm 110 lifting the baffle component 130 and the stirring component 120, the stirring component 120 lifts before the baffle component 130, which can avoid the occurrence of food splashing due to the baffle component 130 lifting first.

[0059] The following example, using an embodiment where the first connecting member includes a linkage sleeve 1411 and the second connecting member 1420 includes a second slider 1421 and a connecting rod 1422, will be used to specifically illustrate different states of the stirring and cooking mechanism 10:

[0060] When the stirring and cooking mechanism 10 is in the first state, the length of the linkage rod 1411 remains unchanged, the second slider 1421 is fixed relative to the slide rail 1310, and the first connector, the second connector 1420, the moving arm 110 and the enclosure 130 rotate as a whole, so that the enclosure 130 can sit on the pot body 20.

[0061] When the stirring cooking mechanism 10 is in the second state, the stirring element 120 starts stirring, the connecting sleeve 1411 is in a compressed state, the connecting sleeve 1411 applies pressure to the enclosure 130, the second slider 1421 slides relative to the slide rail 1310, and in conjunction with the rotation of the connecting rod 1422 relative to the moving arm 110 and the enclosure 130, the stirring mechanism can swing up and down relative to the pot body 20 while the enclosure 130 remains stationary relative to the pot body 20.

[0062] When the stirring and cooking mechanism 10 is in the third state, the moving arm 110 drives the stirring element 120 to rotate upward, the connecting sleeve 1411 is in the extended state, the second slider 1421 moves to the top of the slide rail 1310, and the stirring element 120 gradually leaves the pot body 20 with the moving arm 110. At the end of the third state, the connecting sleeve 1411 reaches the limit of the extended state, the second slider 1421 moves to the top of the slide rail 1310 and is attracted to the limiting member 1320, and the connecting rod 1422 is also attracted to the limiting member 1320. At this time, the first connecting member, the second connecting member 1420, the moving arm 110 and the enclosure member 130 become a whole.

[0063] When the stirring cooking mechanism 10 is in the fourth state, which occurs after the end of the third state, the first connector, the second connector 1420, the moving arm 110, and the enclosure 130 are integrated as a whole. The movement of the moving arm 110 causes the stirring component 120 and the enclosure 130 to rotate together and gradually move away from the pot body 20. It can be understood that the first state and the fourth state are quite similar, both of which are integrated as a whole. The difference is that in the first state, the enclosure 130 gradually moves closer to the pot body 20, while in the fourth state, the enclosure 130 gradually moves away from the pot body 20.

[0064] The following uses the first connecting member, which includes the slider sleeve 1412 and the first slider connecting member 1413, as an example to illustrate the different states of the stirring and cooking mechanism 10:

[0065] When the stirring and cooking mechanism 10 is in the first state, the first slider connector 1413 is in the maximum limit position, the total length between the end of the moving arm 110 connected to the slider sleeve 1412 and the enclosure 130 is constant and at the maximum length, the second slider 1421 is fixed relative to the slide rail 1310, and the first connector, the second connector 1420, the moving arm 110 and the enclosure 130 rotate as a whole, so that the enclosure 130 can be placed on the pot body 20;

[0066] When the stirring cooking mechanism 10 is in the second state, the stirring component 120 starts stirring. The first slider connector 1413 moves away from the maximum limit position. The total length between the end of the moving arm 110 connected to the slider sleeve 1412 and the enclosure component 130 is changing, but no matter how it changes, the total length is not greater than the above-mentioned maximum length. The second slider 1421 slides relative to the slide rail 1310. With the rotation of the connecting rod 1422 relative to the moving arm 110 and the enclosure component 130, the stirring mechanism can swing up and down relative to the pot body 20, while the enclosure component 130 remains stationary relative to the pot body 20.

[0067] When the stirring and cooking mechanism 10 is in the third state, the moving arm 110 drives the stirring component 120 to rotate upward, the first slider connector 1413 slides to the maximum limit position, the total length between the end of the moving arm 110 connected to the slider sleeve 1412 and the enclosure component 130 gradually increases, the second slider 1421 moves to the top of the slide rail 1310, and the stirring component 120 gradually leaves the pot body 20 with the moving arm 110. At the end of the third state, the first slider connector 1413 slides to the maximum limit position, the total length between the end of the moving arm 110 connected to the slider sleeve 1412 and the enclosure component 130 reaches the maximum length, the second slider 1421 moves to the top of the slide rail 1310 and engages with the limiting component 1320, and the connecting rod 1422 also engages with the limiting component 1320. At this time, the first connector, the second connector 1420, the moving arm 110 and the enclosure component 130 become a whole.

[0068] When the stirring and cooking mechanism 10 is in the fourth state, the first connecting member, the second connecting member 1420, the moving arm 110 and the enclosure member 130 are integrated as a whole. The movement of the moving arm 110 causes the stirring member 120 and the enclosure member 130 to rotate together and gradually move away from the pot body 20.

[0069] It should be noted that the maximum limit position of the first slider connector 1413 can be interpreted differently in different embodiments. For example, in an embodiment where the first slider connector 1413 is disposed on the enclosure member 130 and the slider sleeve 1412 is connected between the first slider connector 1413 and the moving arm 110 (e.g.) Figure 14 The maximum limit position of the first slider connector 1413 corresponds to the top of the sliding track where the first slider connector 1413 is located; in the embodiment where the first slider connector 1413 includes the first slider and the first cylinder, the first slider moves in the sliding track inside the first cylinder, and the sliding track inside the first cylinder has an innermost end and an outermost end, and the maximum limit position of the first slider connector 1413 corresponds to the first slider being at the outermost end.

[0070] In some embodiments, as described in the first, second, third, and fourth states above, the second slider 1421 is stationary relative to the slide rail 1310. The specific motion states are the same as described above and will not be repeated here.

[0071] For example, in conjunction with reference Figure 1 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 6The connecting assembly 140 may include at least one connecting arm 1430 and a mounting base 1450 connected to the movable arm 110. At least one connecting arm 1430 can pass through the mounting base 1450 and movably engage with the enclosure member 130, so that when the movable arm 110 rotates, the connecting arm 1430 can drive the enclosure member 130 to approach or detach from the pot body 20. The mounting base 1450 can ensure the fixed installation of the connecting arm 1430 between the movable arm 110 and the pot body 20. In this way, the connecting arm 1430 can more stably drive the enclosure member 130 to move. The structure of the connecting arm 1430 is simpler and the production cost is lower.

[0072] For example, in conjunction with reference Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 , Figure 7 and Figure 8 There can be at least two connecting arms 1430. Each connecting arm 1430 can be movably engaged with the enclosure component 130 via a hook structure 1470. At least one of the hook structures 1470 can be connected to a corresponding connecting arm 1430, and a telescopic rod 1461 can be provided between them. An adjustment knob 1462 can be provided on the telescopic rod 1461, allowing adjustment of the distance between the hook structures 1470 by turning the adjustment knob 1462. This adjustment allows for adaptation to enclosure components 130 of different sizes. Furthermore, it enables quick assembly and disassembly between the moving arm 110 and the enclosure component 130. Specifically, when the relative distance between the hook structures 1470 is large, that is, when at least one hook structure 1470 can disengage from the latch 1330 of the enclosure component 130, such as... Figure 4 and Figure 5 This allows the connecting arm 1430 to disengage from the enclosure component 130. When the relative distance between the hook structures 1470 is small, the hook structure 1470 engages with the slot 1330 of the enclosure component 130, such as... Figure 3 The connecting arm 1430 is connected to the enclosure component 130.

[0073] For example, in conjunction with reference Figure 2 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 The mounting base 1450 can be connected between the movable arm 110 and the stirring member 120, and an elastic member 1490 can be provided between the side of the mounting base 1450 away from the stirring member 120 and the movable arm 110. In this way, as the baffle member 130 approaches the pot body 20 and sits on the pot body 20, the elastic member 1490 can buffer the impact between the baffle member 130 and the pot body 20.

[0074] For example, the bottom edge of the enclosure 130 and the top end of the movable arm 110 are at a first distance in the rotational axial direction of the agitator 120, and the bottom edge of the agitator 120 and the top end of the movable arm 110 are at a second distance in the rotational axial direction of the agitator 120, wherein the first distance is greater than the second distance. When the enclosure 130 is placed horizontally, refer to... Figure 1 At this point, the lowest point of the baffle 130 is lower than the lowest point of the agitator 120. Thus, when the moving arm 110 rotates the baffle 130 and the agitator 120 downwards, the baffle 130 contacts the pot body 20 first, and the agitator 120 then contacts the pot body 20, further preventing food from splashing out.

[0075] According to another aspect of the invention, a cooking utensil is also provided. (Referring to reference...) Figure 1 and Figure 3 The cooking appliance may include any of the above-described stirring cooking mechanisms 10. The containment member 130 includes a containment body 1350 and a guide portion 1360 connected to the top of the containment body 1350. The containment space is located inside the containment body 1350, and the guide portion 1360 is inclined upwards in a direction away from the containment space. The guide portion 1360 facilitates the guiding process during cooking. Since this stirring cooking mechanism 10 adopts the technical solution of any of the above embodiments, the cooking appliance at least has the beneficial effects brought by the technical solutions of the above embodiments, which will not be elaborated further here.

[0076] For ease of description, relative terms such as "above," "over," "on the upper surface of," and "above" are used here to describe the regional positional relationship of one or more components or features shown in the figures to other components or features. It should be understood that relative terms include not only the orientation of the component as depicted in the figure but also different orientations during use or operation. For example, if the components in the figures are inverted as a whole, "above" or "above other components or features" will include cases where the component is "below" or "under" other components or features. Thus, the exemplary term "above" can include both "above" and "below." Furthermore, these components or features may also be positioned at other different angles (e.g., rotated 90 degrees or other angles), and this document intends to include all such cases.

[0077] It should be noted that the terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to limit the exemplary embodiments according to this application.
