It should be noted that the embodiments of the present application and the features in the embodiments can be combined with each other without conflict.

[0056] In the following description, many specific details are set forth to facilitate a full understanding of the present application. However, the present application may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein. Therefore, the scope of protection of the present application is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0057] Refer to the following Figures 1 to 5 To describe the pot assembly and cooking utensil provided according to some embodiments of the present application.

[0058] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the embodiment of the first aspect of the present application provides a pot assembly, comprising: a pot 1, the outer wall of the pot 1 comprising a first area 10. The first area 10 comprises a first side and a second side arranged opposite to each other along the circumference of the pot 1, and the first side and the second side are arranged spaced apart from each other along the circumference of the pot 1; a heating element 2 is installed in the first area 10 or arranged opposite to the first area. The first area 10 is Figure 3 An area in the housing for installing the heating element 2 or the heating belt 22.

[0059] The pot body assembly provided in the present application is generally used in cooking utensils such as electric rice cookers, electric pressure cookers, and electric stew pots. The pot body assembly includes a pot body 1, which is generally used as an outer pot in cooking utensils, and the outer wall of the pot body 1 includes a first area 10, wherein the first side and the second side of the first area 10 are spaced apart from each other along the circumference of the pot body 1, that is, the first side and the second side of the first area 10 are not closed but separated from each other. It can be seen that the first area 10 is not arranged around the entire circumference of the pot body 1, that is, the first area 10 does not form a closed loop. The heating element 2 is installed in the first area 10 or is arranged opposite to the first corresponding area. Therefore, the heating element 2 is formed with a certain notch 20 (such as Figure 3As shown in the figure, it can also be understood that the heating element 2 is arranged on the outer wall of the pot body 1 to avoid some areas. In this way, when the pot body assembly is used in a cooking utensil, the electric control board 4 can be arranged at the position corresponding to the side wall of the pot body 1 where the heating element 2 is not arranged. In this way, when the heating element 2 is heated, it will not affect the operation of the electric control board 4, and avoid the electric control board 4 from being heated and damaged due to the heating of the heating element 2. That is, this arrangement reserves space for arranging the electric control board 4 at the side position of the pot body 1, so that the heating element 2 can avoid the arrangement of the electric control board 4, which solves the problem in the related solution that the heating element 2 at the side easily causes the electric control board 4 at the side of the cooking utensil to overheat, making the electric control board 4 very easy to be damaged.

[0060] Optionally, the pot assembly is used for a cooking utensil, and the cooking utensil includes an electric control board 4, which is installed on the side of the pot assembly and is correspondingly arranged between the first side and the second side of the first area 10.

[0080] The height of the heating element 2 covers the position of the common capacity of the pot body 1, so that the pot body 1 can be better heated by the heating element 2. Specifically, the height of the heating element 2 should be greater than half of the entire height of the pot body 1, and can be less than 3 / 4 of the entire height of the pot body 1.

[0081] Alternatively, if Figure 4 As shown, a positioning boss 14 extending along the circumferential direction of the pot body 1 is provided on the outer side wall of the pot body 1 , and the heating element 2 is installed on one side of the positioning boss 14 close to the bottom of the pot body 1 .

[0082] In this embodiment, in order to facilitate determination of the circumferential installation position of the heating element 2, a positioning boss 14 is provided on the pot body 1, through which the installation height of the heating element 2 can be accurately and conveniently determined, thereby avoiding the situation where the heating element 2 on the pot body 1 is installed at different heights.

The first surface 16 and the second surface 18 are arranged in a stepped manner. The first surface 16 is arranged close to the bottom of the pot body 1, and along the radial direction of the pot body 1, the second surface 18 is arranged to protrude from the first surface 16 along the outer direction of the pot body 1.

[0085] In this embodiment, the outer side of the pot body 1 is provided with a stepped structure with a larger upper portion and a smaller lower portion, and the heating element 2 can be installed below the stepped surface of the pot body 1, so that the heating element 2 can be installed and positioned by the stepped structure.

[0087] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the embodiment of the second aspect of the present application provides a cooking utensil, comprising a housing 3 and a pot assembly provided by any embodiment of the first aspect. The pot assembly is installed in the housing 3.

[0088] According to the cooking utensil provided in the present application, since it includes the pot body assembly provided by any embodiment of the first aspect, the cooking utensil also has all the beneficial effects of the pot body assembly provided by any embodiment of the first aspect, which will not be repeated here.

[0089] Alternatively, if Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the cooking appliance further includes: an electric control board 4, which is installed in the housing 3 and is located between the pot body assembly and the housing 3. The electric control board 4 is arranged away from the first area 10, that is, the electric control board 4 is arranged corresponding to the area outside the first area, so that along the circumference of the pot body assembly, the electric control board 4 and the heating element 2 are completely staggered.

[0090] In this embodiment, since the electric control board 4 and the heating element 2 are completely staggered, that is, the heating element 2 is arranged in the cold end area of ​​the side of the pot body 1 (that is, the area where the heating element 2 is not arranged), it is possible to avoid the situation where the electric control board 4 is overheated and damaged when the heating element 2 generates heat.

At the same time, the heating efficiency can be improved by the heating plate 6 and the heating element 2. In particular, when the inner pot 7 of the cooking utensil is a ceramic liner, its heating speed is generally slow, and by providing the heating element 2, the ceramic liner can be heated simultaneously by the heating plate 6 at the bottom and the heating element 2 at the side, so that the heating efficiency of the ceramic liner can be improved, and at the same time, the three-dimensional heating of the ceramic liner can be achieved to ensure the heating uniformity of the ceramic liner.

[0094] Optionally, the heating plate 6 is provided with a mounting hole, such as Figure 1 As shown, the cooking appliance further includes: a temperature controller 8, which is installed on the floating bracket 5 and can extend out from the installation hole to contact the inner pot 7.

[0095] In this embodiment, the thermostat 8 is installed in the middle position of the heating plate 6, and the thermostat 8 can float up and down under the action of the floating bracket 5, so that the thermostat 8 can float up and down with the inner pot 7, so that the contact between the thermostat 8 and the inner pot 7 can be better, thereby making the temperature measurement more accurate.

[0096] Alternatively, if Figure 1 As shown, the cooking appliance further comprises: a cover body 9, which is arranged on the pot body assembly and is used to open or close the pot body assembly.

[0097] The following takes an electric stew pot as an example to further introduce the pot body assembly and cooking utensil in the present application.

[0098] Traditional electric stew pots are heated by bottom or side radiation, which have low heating efficiency and uneven heat, and cannot meet the existing fast cooking rhythm. A heating element 2 is arranged on the side to cooperate with the bottom heating plate 6 for three-dimensional heating, thereby improving heating efficiency and speeding up cooking.

[0099] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, this embodiment designs a fast-heating stew pot, which has a ceramic inner pot, a metal outer pot, a flexible heating belt, a floating electric heating plate and a central floating sensor, etc. There is a positioning boss 14 on the outer pot on the side of the machine, which is used to position and paste the flexible heating belt. The heating belt is at the position of the common capacity of the inner pot, which can effectively keep the inner pot warm. At the same time, the upper cover is in contact with the cold air, which produces a temperature difference with the lower heating, causing intense heat convection and improving the cooking flavor.

[0100] The flexible heating belt is a heating wire that wraps around the side of the outer pot in multiple turns to form a uniform heat source on the side. Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, a notch 20 is left at the cold end of the heating belt facing the circuit board to protect the electrical components.

[0101] At the same time, a floating integrated heating plate is installed at the bottom of the outer pot to form a dual heat source, heating the inner pot in 3D to increase the heating rate.

[0102] like Figure 5 As shown, further, the flexible heating belt includes a silicone heating wire (used as an insulating protective cover 224), aluminum foil (also known as an insulating cover 226), double-sided adhesive tape 228, and a conductor (i.e., a heating wire 222). Among them, a conductor is arranged inside the silicone heating wire, and the conductor is used to generate heat when powered. The silicone heating wire is arranged outside the conductor to ensure the insulation of the conductor. The aluminum foil is arranged on the side of the flexible heating belt away from the pot body 1 to achieve heat insulation of the silicone heating wire and slow down the heat loss of the silicone heating wire into the air. Double-sided adhesive tape 228 is also arranged on the inner side of the aluminum foil. On the one hand, the silicone heating wire and the aluminum foil can be fixed by the double-sided adhesive, and at the same time, the entire flexible heating belt can be bonded to the outer wall of the pot body 1 by the double-sided adhesive on the aluminum foil.

[0103] Furthermore, the two ends of the wire of the flexible heating belt are provided with connection terminals, which are connected to the connecting wire 229, and a silicone sleeve is provided at the connection point for insulation protection. Furthermore, the other end of the connecting wire 229 is provided with a plug terminal to connect to a power source.
