[0030] Furthermore, the middle sleeve 3 also includes an overflow portion 34, which is arranged on one side of the overflow stop portion 33. The bottom of the overflow portion 34 is lower than the bottom surface of the water accumulation portion 32. It is used to accumulate water when too much water enters, so as to prevent excessive liquid and torrents from splashing into the rice cooker and causing damage to electrical components.

[0031] Preferably, the middle sleeve 3 also includes a protrusion 35, which is arranged on one side of the overflow portion 34. The top wall of the protrusion 35 is lower than the top of the overflow stop portion 33. The protrusion 35 contacts the top column of the lower bottom cover 4 to play a supporting role and prevent liquid from directly entering the rice cooker.

[0032] More preferably, a through hole 36 is provided on the edge portion 31, and a ring platform 21 is provided on the inner wall of the upper bottom cover 2. The ring platform 21 protrudes outward along the inner wall of the upper bottom cover 2. The edge portion 31 is connected to the lower end surface of the ring platform 21 through the through hole 36, and a bottom-to-bottom connection method is adopted to prevent liquid from accumulating at the connection. The intermediate sleeve 3 is fixed below the ring platform 21 by bolts passing through the through holes 36.

[0033] More preferably, the annular platform 21 is further provided with an arc surface 22 , the curvature direction of the arc surface 22 is toward the center of the intermediate sleeve 3 , and is used to guide the liquid to flow toward the intermediate sleeve 3 .

[0034] More preferably, a gap is left between the heating plate 6 and the intermediate sleeve 3 , and the gap is greater than 5 mm for liquid to pass through, thereby preventing the accumulated liquid from contacting the heating plate 6 and causing corrosion to the heating plate 6 .

[0035] More preferably, the connecting parts of the edge portion 31 , the water accumulation portion 32 and the overflow prevention portion 33 are smoothly transitioned, so as to facilitate cleaning of the middle sleeve 3 after taking out the inner pot 1 .

[0036] More preferably, the intermediate sleeve 3 is formed by sheet metal stamping, which has low manufacturing cost, corrosion resistance and long service life.

[0037] More preferably, the top of the overflow stop portion 33 is higher than the upper end surface of the edge portion 31 , thereby increasing the amount of water accumulated in the water accumulation portion 32 .

[0038] The working process of the anti-overflow sleeve structure is as follows:

[0039] After the inner pot 1 is loaded into the outer shell, the inner pot 1 contacts the heating plate 6. There is a gap between the inner pot 1 and the outer shell. External liquid enters the rice cooker through the gap. The liquid flows along the inner wall of the outer shell or the outer wall of the inner pot 1 to the middle sleeve 3. After the liquid flows into the water accumulation part 32, it is blocked by the overflow stop part 33. The liquid accumulates in the water accumulation part 32. After cooking is completed, the inner pot 1 can be taken out to clean the water accumulation part 32.

[0040] Embodiment 2

[0041] This embodiment also discloses an electric rice cooker, comprising an anti-overflow jacket structure, a lower bottom cover 4, a thermal sensing device 5, an outer shell and a pot 1. The upper bottom cover 2 and the lower bottom cover 4 are combined to form a space for accommodating electrical components. A heat dissipation grille 7 is installed at the bottom of the lower bottom cover 4 for filtering out, and the thermal sensing device 5 is installed at the center of the middle jacket 3.

[0042] Furthermore, a protrusion is provided at the intersection of the outer wall and the bottom wall of the pot 1. After the pot 1 is installed in the outer shell, the projection of the protrusion to the horizontal plane just falls into the water accumulation part 32, so that the liquid passing through the outer wall of the pot 1 can fall into the water accumulation part 32 through the protrusion, thereby preventing the liquid from corroding the heating plate 6.

[0043] According to the disclosure and teaching of the above description, the technical personnel in the field of the utility model can also change and modify the above implementation. Therefore, the utility model is not limited to the specific implementation methods disclosed and described above, and some modifications and changes of the utility model should also fall within the scope of protection of the claims of the utility model.
