Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of kitchen appliances, and in particular to an opening and closing control device and a cooking appliance. Background Art
[0002] The cooking cavity of the cooking appliance is provided with an exhaust passage connected to the outside world. The area of the exhaust passage is mostly a fixed structure, which makes it impossible to effectively control the moisture content of food in the cooking cavity and the temperature of the cavity, resulting in overflow problems during cooking rice, porridge and other functions, as well as heat and moisture loss during insulation and freshness preservation. In addition, there is too much moisture in food for frying, air frying, etc., which cannot be discharged quickly, affecting the crispy and tender taste of the food.
[0003] In the related art, the cooking appliance is provided with an automatic opening and closing control structure. In the above control structure, when the temperature in the cooking cavity reaches a set threshold, the exhaust hole of the control structure automatically opens. However, since the cooking appliance will continue to exhaust air at high temperature, the moisture of the food is easily lost, resulting in a poor taste of the final cooked food, which reduces the user experience.

[0005] To this end, the utility model proposes an opening and closing control device that can keep the water vapor in the cooking cavity within a reasonable range, which is beneficial to improving the taste of cooked food.
[0006] The utility model also provides a cooking utensil.
[0007] The opening and closing control device of the utility model comprises: a shell, in which an exhaust passage is arranged; an exhaust control component, which is arranged in the shell, and comprises a magnetic component with variable magnetic field strength and a sealing member connected to the magnetic component, wherein the magnetic field strength of the magnetic component is negatively correlated with the temperature, and the magnetic component drives the sealing member to move to seal and open the exhaust passage through the change of its magnetic field strength, and the area of the exhaust passage blocked by the sealing member is positively correlated with the temperature in the shell.
[0008] According to the opening and closing control device of the utility model, when the opening and closing control device is working, the shell can be heated to change the magnetic field strength of the magnetic component, so that the blocking piece can be driven to move to open and close the exhaust channel. Since the magnetic field strength of the magnetic component is negatively correlated with the temperature, and the area of the exhaust channel blocked by the blocking piece is positively correlated with the temperature in the shell, the magnetic field strength of the magnetic component gradually weakens as the temperature rises, so that the blocking piece gradually blocks the exhaust channel, that is, the area of the exhaust channel blocked by the blocking piece gradually increases, and the actual flow area of the exhaust channel gradually decreases, thereby reducing the flow of steam in the exhaust channel. The magnetic field strength of the magnetic component gradually increases as the temperature decreases, so that the blocking piece gradually opens the exhaust channel, that is, the area of the exhaust channel blocked by the blocking piece gradually decreases, and the actual flow area of the exhaust channel gradually increases, thereby increasing the flow of steam in the exhaust channel. Therefore, the opening and closing control device of the cooking utensil of the utility model can reduce exhaust or no exhaust at a higher temperature, thereby keeping the water vapor in the cooking cavity within a reasonable range, which is conducive to improving the taste of food cooking.

Thus, in the demagnetized state, the magnetic force between the first magnetic component and the second magnetic component is weakened, and the second magnetic component will drive the blocking component to fall under the action of gravity, so that the blocking component blocks the air inlet. In the magnetized state, the magnetic force between the first magnetic component and the second magnetic component is strengthened, and the second magnetic component drives the blocking component to move toward the first magnetic component to open the air inlet. Therefore, the magnetic component of the opening and closing control device of the utility model has a simple structure and a reasonable arrangement, which can improve the reliability of the opening and closing control device when it is working.
[0012] Optionally, the exhaust control assembly further comprises an elastic member, which presses the blocking member toward the air inlet. Thus, in the demagnetized state, the elastic member can drive the second magnetic member to move downward, so that the blocking member is driven to block the air inlet under the combined action of the gravity of the second magnetic member and the elastic force of the elastic member, thereby improving the reliability and sensitivity of the opening and closing control device when it is working.

[0032] The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below, and examples of the embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to be used to explain the present invention, but cannot be understood as limiting the present invention.
[0033] Please refer to the following Figures 1 to 8 The opening and closing control device 1 and the cooking appliance according to the embodiment of the utility model are described.
[0034] The opening and closing control device 1 of the embodiment of the utility model comprises: a housing 11 and an exhaust control component 12, wherein an exhaust passage 113 is provided in the housing 11, and the exhaust control component 12 is provided in the housing 11. The exhaust control component 12 comprises a magnetic component 121 with a variable magnetic field strength and a blocking member 122 connected to the magnetic component 121, wherein the magnetic field strength of the magnetic component 121 is negatively correlated with the temperature, and the magnetic component 121 drives the blocking member 122 to move to block and open the exhaust passage 113 through the change of its magnetic field strength, and the area of the exhaust passage 113 blocked by the blocking member 122 is positively correlated with the temperature in the housing 11.
[0035] According to the opening and closing control device 1 of the embodiment of the utility model, when the opening and closing control device 1 is working, the shell 11 can be heated to change the magnetic field strength of the magnetic component 121, thereby driving the blocking member 122 to move to open and close the exhaust channel 113.
[0036] Since the magnetic field strength of the magnetic component 121 is negatively correlated with the temperature, and the area of the exhaust passage 113 blocked by the blocking member 122 is positively correlated with the temperature in the shell 11, the magnetic field strength of the magnetic component 121 gradually weakens as the temperature rises, so that the blocking member 122 gradually blocks the exhaust passage 113, that is, the area of the exhaust passage 113 blocked by the blocking member 122 gradually increases, and the actual flow area of the exhaust passage 113 gradually decreases, thereby reducing the flow rate of steam in the exhaust passage 113. Similarly, the magnetic field strength of the magnetic component 121 gradually increases as the temperature decreases, so that the blocking member 122 gradually opens the exhaust passage 113, that is, the area of the exhaust passage 113 blocked by the blocking member 122 gradually decreases, and the actual flow area of the exhaust passage 113 gradually increases, thereby increasing the flow rate of steam in the exhaust passage 113.
[0037] Therefore, the opening and closing control device 1 of the cooking utensil of the present invention can reduce exhaust or not exhaust at a higher temperature, thereby keeping the water vapor in the cooking cavity 21 within a reasonable range, which is beneficial to improving the taste of cooked food.
[0038] It is understandable that the blocking member 122 can block or open the port (i.e., the air inlet 1111 or the air outlet 1121) of the exhaust channel 113 to close or open the exhaust channel 113. Alternatively, the blocking member 122 can block or open any cross section on the flow path of the exhaust channel 113 to close or open the exhaust channel 113.
[0039] Alternatively, if Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown, the blocking member 122 has a closed position for completely blocking the exhaust passage 113 and an open position for completely opening the exhaust passage 113, and the magnetic component 121 has a magnetized state with a temperature lower than a preset value and a demagnetized state with a temperature higher than a preset value. When the magnetic component 121 is in the magnetized state, the blocking member 122 is in the open position, and when the magnetic component 121 is in the demagnetized state, the blocking member 122 is in the closed position. It can be understood that the opening and closing control device 1 can completely block the exhaust passage 113 under the condition that the temperature is higher than the preset value, and can also completely open the exhaust passage 113 under the condition that the temperature is lower than the preset value, thereby improving the exhaust efficiency of the opening and closing control device 1, and is conducive to keeping the water vapor in the cooking cavity 21 within a reasonable range, and the use effect is better.
[0040] In one example, if Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the magnetic component 121 includes a first magnetic component 1211 and a second magnetic component 1212 with opposite magnetic pole directions, at least one of the first magnetic component 1211 and the second magnetic component 1212 has a magnetized state and a demagnetized state, and one of the first magnetic component 1211 and the second magnetic component 1212 is connected to the blocking component 122. In the magnetized state, the first magnetic component 1211 and the second magnetic component 1212 are close to each other so that the blocking component 122 is separated from the exhaust channel 113, and in the demagnetized state, the first magnetic component 1211 and the second magnetic component 1212 are away from each other so that the blocking component 122 blocks the exhaust channel 113. It can be understood that the opening and closing control device 1 of the utility model can quickly open and close the exhaust channel 113 by utilizing the magnetic force between the first magnetic component 1211 and the second magnetic component 1212, and the structure is simple and easy to process and manufacture.
[0041] In another example, the magnetic component 121 includes a first magnetic component 1211 and a second magnetic component 1212 having the same magnetic pole direction, at least one of the first magnetic component 1211 and the second magnetic component 1212 has a magnetized state and a demagnetized state, and one of the first magnetic component 1211 and the second magnetic component 1212 is connected to the blocking component 122. In the magnetized state, the first magnetic component 1211 and the second magnetic component 1212 are away from each other so that the blocking component 122 is separated from the exhaust channel 113, and in the demagnetized state, the first magnetic component 1211 and the second magnetic component 1212 are close to each other so that the blocking component 122 blocks the exhaust channel 113.
[0042] Take the arrangement of the first magnetic member 1211 and the second magnetic member 1212 in opposite directions as an example. Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the housing 11 is provided with an air inlet 1111 and an air outlet 1121 , and both the air inlet 1111 and the air outlet 1121 are communicated with the exhaust passage 113 .
[0043] It is understandable that the external air inlet 1111 may be disposed on the bottom wall of the housing 11 or on the side wall of the housing 11. The air outlet 1121 may be disposed on the top wall of the housing 11 or on the side wall of the housing 11.
[0044] In one example, if Figure 6 As shown, the exhaust channel 113 extends in the up-down direction, the external air inlet 11111 is arranged at the lower end of the exhaust channel 113 (i.e., on the bottom wall of the shell 11), and the air outlet 1121 is arranged at the upper end of the exhaust channel 113 (i.e., on the top wall of the shell 11).
[0045] The first magnetic member 1211 is arranged adjacent to the air outlet 1121 , the second magnetic member 1212 is arranged adjacent to the air inlet 1111 and connected to the blocking member 122 , in the magnetized state, the second magnetic member 1212 is spaced apart from the air inlet 1111 , in the demagnetized state, the second magnetic member 1212 blocks the air inlet 1111 .
[0046] It is understandable that as the temperature inside the shell 11 increases, the magnetic attraction between the first magnetic part 1211 or the second magnetic part 1212 gradually weakens. When it reaches a critical value, the second magnetic part 1212 separates from the first magnetic part 1211 and drives the blocking part 122 to block the air inlet 1111. Similarly, when the temperature inside the shell 11 increases, the magnetic attraction between the first magnetic part 1211 or the second magnetic part 1212 gradually increases. When it reaches a critical value, the second magnetic part 1212 is attracted by the first magnetic part 1211, and the second magnetic part 1212 drives the blocking part 122 to move in a direction away from the air inlet 1111, so that steam can be discharged from the air inlet 1111. Therefore, the magnetic component 121 of the opening and closing control device 1 of the utility model has a simple structure and a reasonable layout, which can improve the reliability of the opening and closing control device 1 when it is working.
[0047] In one embodiment, Figures 3 to 6As shown, the exhaust control assembly 12 also includes an elastic member 123, and the elastic member 123 presses the blocking member 122 toward the direction of the air inlet 1111. For example, the elastic member 123 is arranged between the first magnetic member 1211 and the second magnetic member 1212. When the blocking member 122 is in the open position, the elastic member 123 is compressed and has elastic potential energy. When the temperature gradually rises, the magnetic attraction between the first magnetic member 1211 or the second magnetic member 1212 weakens. When the elastic force of the elastic member 123 is greater than the magnetic force, the first magnetic member 1211 is separated from the second magnetic member 1212 to close the air inlet 1111. Therefore, in the demagnetized state, the elastic member 123 can drive the second magnetic member 1212 to move downward, so as to drive the blocking member 122 to block the air inlet 1111 under the combined action of the gravity of the second magnetic member 1212 and the elastic force of the elastic member 123, thereby improving the reliability and sensitivity of the opening and closing control device 1 when it is working.
[0048] like Figures 3 to 6 As shown, the housing 11 includes a base 111 and a top cover 112 connected to each other, an air inlet 1111 is provided on the base 111, an air outlet 1121 is provided on the top cover 112, a positioning portion 1122 is provided on the top cover 112, a first magnetic member 1211 is installed in the positioning portion 1122, a blocking member 122 has a mounting groove 1221, the positioning portion 1122 is slidably sleeved in the mounting groove 1221, and a second magnetic member 1212 is provided in the mounting groove 1221. For example, the second magnetic member 1212 is a soft magnet, and the first magnetic member 1211 is a permanent magnet. When the temperature in the housing 11 rises to a certain level, the soft magnet will continue to demagnetize when heated at high temperature, so that the magnetic force between the first magnetic member 1211 and the second magnetic member 1212 is gradually reduced. The opening and closing control device 1 of the utility model can prevent the second magnetic part 1212 from being deformed by heat by arranging the second magnetic part 1212 in the installation groove 1221, and makes the parts in the shell 11 arranged compactly, and the positioning part 1122 is slidably sleeved in the installation groove 1221, which can guide the up and down movement of the blocking part 122, which is beneficial to ensure the reliability of the movement of the blocking part 122.
[0049] Alternatively, if Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the outer peripheral wall of the first magnetic member 1211 and the inner peripheral wall of the positioning portion 1122 define a first slot 1123, the outer peripheral wall of the second magnetic member 1212 and the inner peripheral wall of the mounting slot 1221 define a second slot 1222, one end of the elastic member 123 is mounted in the first slot 1123, and the other end of the elastic member 123 is mounted in the second slot 1222. For example, the elastic member 123 is a cylindrical coil spring. The opening and closing control device 1 of the utility model can improve the firmness of the assembly of the elastic member 123 by clamping the elastic member 123 in the above-mentioned manner, and the installation method is simple, which is convenient for processing and manufacturing.
[0050] like Figures 3 to 6 As shown, in order to facilitate the user to observe the working state of the opening and closing control device 1, the opening and closing control device 1 also includes a lifting column 124, one end of the lifting column 124 is installed on the second magnetic member 1212, and the other end of the lifting column 124 passes through the top cover 112. It can be understood that when the second magnetic member 1212 drives the blocking member 122 to block the air inlet 1111, the lifting column 124 is in a descending state. When the second magnetic member 1212 is magnetically attracted to the first magnetic member 1211, the lifting column 124 is in an ascending state. Therefore, the opening and closing control device 1 of the utility model is provided with the lifting column 124, so that the user can judge the opening and closing state of the opening and closing control device 1 by observing the height of the lifting column 124, the visualization degree is high, and the user experience is good.
[0051] like Figure 5 and Figure 7 As shown, the inner wall of the base 111 is provided with a plurality of limiting columns 1112, which are arranged at intervals along the circumference of the base 111 and extend along the axial direction of the base 111, and the outer peripheral wall of the blocking member 122 is in sliding contact with the limiting columns 1112. The opening and closing control device 1 of the utility model can restrict the radial direction of the blocking member 122 and guide the movement of the blocking member 122 by providing the limiting columns 1112, so as to improve the reliability of the movement of the blocking member 122.
[0052] Alternatively, if Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, an air collecting ring 1113 is provided on the outer side of the base 111, and the air collecting ring 1113 is arranged around the circumference of the air inlet 1111. There may be multiple air inlets 1111, and the multiple air inlets 1111 are arranged at intervals on the base 111. The opening and closing control device 1 of the utility model can guide the steam entering the air inlet 1111 by providing the air collecting ring 1113, which is beneficial to improving the exhaust efficiency of the opening and closing control device 1.
[0053] like Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, in order to facilitate the assembly and disassembly of the base 111 and the top cover 112, a buckle 1124 is provided on one of the base 111 and the top cover 112, and a matching groove 1114 is provided on the other, and the buckle 1124 is rotatably engaged with the matching groove 1114 along the circumferential direction of the shell 11. For example, the top cover 112 is provided with a buckle 1124, and the base 111 is provided with a matching groove 1114. The buckle 1124 can be a threaded structure or an L-shaped structure, and the buckle 1124 and the matching groove 1114 are rotatably engaged, so that the base 111 and the top cover 112 can be easily assembled and disassembled, and the processing and manufacturing are simple.
[0054] A cooking appliance according to another embodiment of the present invention comprises an opening and closing control device 1 and a cooking body 2. The opening and closing control device 1 is the opening and closing control device 1 of the present invention. A cooking cavity 21 is provided in the cooking body 2. The opening and closing control device 1 is provided on the cooking body 2 and communicated with the cooking cavity 21.
[0055] Specifically, Figure 1 As shown, the cooking body 2 includes a pot body 22 and a pot cover 23 , the pot cover 23 is hinged to the pot body 22 , and the opening and closing control device 1 is installed on the pot cover 23 .
[0056] According to the cooking device of the utility model, when the cooking device is working, the shell 11 can be heated to change the magnetic field strength of the magnetic component 121, so that the blocking member 122 can be driven to move to open and close the exhaust channel 113. Since the magnetic field strength of the magnetic component 121 is negatively correlated with the temperature, and the area of the exhaust channel 113 blocked by the blocking member 122 is positively correlated with the temperature in the shell 11, the magnetic field strength of the magnetic component 121 gradually weakens as the temperature rises, so that the blocking member 122 gradually blocks the exhaust channel 113, that is, the area of the exhaust channel 113 blocked by the blocking member 122 gradually increases, and the actual flow area of the exhaust channel 113 gradually decreases, thereby reducing the flow rate of steam in the exhaust channel 113. The magnetic field strength of the magnetic component 121 gradually increases as the temperature decreases, so that the blocking member 122 gradually opens the exhaust channel 113, that is, the area of the exhaust channel 113 blocked by the blocking member 122 gradually decreases, and the actual flow area of the exhaust channel 113 gradually increases, thereby increasing the flow rate of steam in the exhaust channel 113.
