In addition, the terms "first", "second", and "third" are only used for descriptive purposes and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0043] An embodiment of the present application provides a cooking utensil, which may be an electric rice cooker, an electric pressure cooker or other cooking utensil. For ease of description, the present application takes an electric rice cooker as an example for description.

[0044] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2 The cooking utensil includes a main body 10 , a liquid collecting structure 20 and a positioning structure 30 .

[0045] The main body 10 includes an outer shell 11 and an inner liner 12 disposed in the outer shell 11 . The outer shell 11 has a liquid discharge port 11 a communicating with the inner liner 12 .

[0046] The inner pot 12 is a container for cooking rice and other ingredients, and the drain port 11a is used to drain the rice soup and other soups produced during the cooking process. Taking cooking rice as an example, during the cooking process, after the rice and water mixture in the inner pot 12 is heated to boiling, the rice soup can flow out from the drain port 11a under the action of high temperature and high pressure.

[0047] The housing 11 may include a shell 111 , an upper cover 113 and a base 112 . Exemplarily, a drain port 11 a may be provided on the upper cover 113 to facilitate the drainage of the soup.

[0048] Please continue reading Figure 1 and Figure 2 The liquid collecting structure 20 is arranged on the outside of the outer shell 11, that is, the cooking utensil of the embodiment of the present application adopts an external liquid collecting structure 20, and the liquid collecting structure 20 is arranged on the outside of the outer shell 11, and does not occupy the space of the inner pot 12.

[0049] The liquid collecting structure 20 includes a liquid collecting container 21 having a liquid collecting port 10a. The liquid collecting structure 20 collects soup such as rice soup discharged from the main body 10 through the liquid collecting container 21. Specifically, the liquid collecting structure 20 can be detachably connected to the housing 11, and the liquid collecting structure 20 can also be directly placed on a support such as a desktop or a stove. After the soup such as rice soup flows out from the liquid collecting port 11a, it can flow into the liquid collecting container 21 from the liquid collecting port 10a.

[0050] The positioning structure 30 is disposed on at least one of the main body 10 and the liquid collecting structure 20 . The liquid collecting structure 20 and the main body 10 are positioned by the positioning structure 30 so that the liquid collecting port 10 a and the liquid discharging port 11 a are in communication.

[0051] The positioning structure 30 is used to position the liquid collecting structure 20 so that the liquid collecting port 10a can be aligned with the liquid discharging port 11a. The positioning structure 30 can be arranged only on the main body 10, or only on the liquid collecting structure 20, or a part of the positioning structure 30 can be arranged on the main body 10, and the other part of the positioning structure 30 can be arranged on the liquid collecting structure 20.

[0052] It should be noted that, depending on the different structural forms of the positioning structure 30, some positioning structures 30 can, in addition to positioning, also serve to fix the liquid collection structure 20 on the main body 10, while other positioning structures 30 can only be used for positioning but do not have the function of fixing the liquid collection structure 20 on the main body 10.

[0053] The connection between the liquid collecting port 10a and the liquid discharging port 11a means that the soup such as rice soup can flow out from the liquid discharging port 11a and enter the liquid collecting container 21 from the liquid collecting port 10a. The connection method between the liquid collecting port 10a and the liquid discharging port 11a is not limited. For example, please refer to Figure 2 The drain port 11a can be located on the upper side of the liquid collecting port 10a along the height direction of the cooking appliance, and the liquid collecting port 10a is aligned with the drain port 11a. In another embodiment, the structure with the drain port 11a can also extend into the liquid collecting port 10a to connect the liquid collecting port 10a with the drain port 11a.

[0054] The cooking utensil of the embodiment of the present application arranges the liquid collecting structure 20 on the outside of the outer shell 11 of the main body 10, and arranges the positioning structure 30 on at least one of the main body 10 and the liquid collecting structure 20. The liquid collecting structure 20 and the main body 10 can be positioned through the positioning structure 30 so that the liquid collecting port 10a is aligned with the liquid discharge port 11a. In this way, the position of the liquid collecting port 10a can be prevented from deviating and causing the soup to overflow, thereby improving the user experience.

[0055] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 2 The upper cover 113 includes a cover body 1131 and a drainage component 1132 arranged on the cover body 1131. The cover body 1131 has an avoidance port connected to the inner liner 12. The drainage component 1132 has a drainage channel 1132a and a drainage port 11a connected to the drainage channel 1132a. A part of the drainage component 1132 is penetrated in the avoidance port to connect the drainage channel 1132a with the inner liner 12.

[0056] Exemplarily, the drain assembly 1132 and the cover body 1131 may be detachably connected to facilitate cleaning of the drain assembly 1132 .

[0057] The connection method between the drain assembly 1132 and the cover body 1131 is not limited. Figure 2 The upper side of the cover 1131 may have a receiving groove, and the drainage assembly 1132 includes a mounting seat 11321 and a mounting cover 11322. The mounting seat 11321 and the mounting cover 11322 jointly enclose a drainage channel 1132a and a drainage port 11a, and the mounting seat 11321 is installed in the receiving cavity. To facilitate customer disassembly and cleaning, the mounting seat 11321 and the mounting cover 11322 may be detachably connected, and in order to prevent rice soup from overflowing from the gap between the mounting seat 11321 and the mounting cover 11322, a sealing member may be provided between the mounting seat 11321 and the mounting cover 11322.

[0058] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 2 The portion of the drain assembly 1132 where the drain port 11a is provided protrudes from one side of the cover body 1131 so that the drain port 11a is located on the upper side of the liquid collection port 10a along the height direction of the cooking appliance.

[0059] The portion where the liquid discharge port 11a is disposed protrudes from one side of the cover body 1131, that is, the liquid discharge port 11a is located on the protruding portion. Such an arrangement can facilitate the liquid collection port 10a to be aligned with the liquid discharge port 11a.

[0060] In one embodiment, Figures 2 to 6 , Fig. 9 , Fig.10The liquid collection structure 20 may include a cup body 211 , a cup cover 212 having a liquid collection port 10 a , and a cup seat 213 provided with a second positioning portion 32 . The cup body 211 is disposed on the cup seat 213 , and the cup cover 212 is disposed on the cup body 211 .

[0061] The cup body 211 has a storage cavity for storing rice soup or other soups, and the cup cover 212 can be covered on the top of the cup body 211 along the height direction of the cooking utensil, so that rice soup or other soups can flow into the storage cavity of the cup body 211 through the liquid collection port 10a arranged on the cup cover 212.

[0062] In another embodiment, the liquid collection structure 20 may also only include a cup body 211 and a cup cover 212 having a liquid collection port 10a.

[0063] For example, see Figure 1 and Figure 2 The cup body 211 can be detachably disposed on the cup seat 213 , and the cup seat 213 and the housing 11 can be detachably connected via the first positioning portion 31 and the second positioning portion 32 .

[0064] That is, the cup body 211 can be removed from the cup holder 213 alone, and the cup holder 213 is positioned by the first positioning portion 31 . After the first positioning portion 31 and the second positioning portion 32 are separated, the cup holder 213 can be removed from the housing 11 alone.

[0065] The cup body 211 is detachably arranged on the cup seat 213. When the cup body 211 and the cup cover 212 need to be cleaned, only the cup body 211 and the cup cover 212 need to be removed. After cleaning, the cup body 211 can be directly placed on the cup seat 213 without secondary positioning, which is convenient for users to use.

[0066] In addition, when the liquid collecting structure 20 is not needed, the liquid collecting structure 20 can be removed from the housing 11, and the cup holder 213 can be separated from the cup body 211 for storage by the user.

[0067] In order to facilitate the positioning of the cup body 211 and the cup cover 212, a positioning groove can be provided on the cup base 213, and the bottom of the cup body 211 is embedded in the positioning groove, so that the liquid collection port 10a on the cup cover 212 is aligned with the liquid discharge port 11a. In another embodiment, a positioning groove can also be provided at the bottom of the cup body 211, and the cup base 213 is embedded in the positioning groove.

[0068] In another embodiment, the cup body 211 may also be non-detachably disposed on the cup base 213 .

[0069] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 4 , Figure 6 , Figure 8 and Fig.10The liquid collecting structure 20 may include a first positioning portion 31 disposed on the housing 11 and a second positioning portion 32 disposed on the liquid collecting container 21 , and the second positioning portion 32 cooperates with the first positioning portion 31 to connect the liquid collecting port 10 a and the liquid discharging port 11 a .

[0070] That is, the positioning structure 30 can be positioned by respectively providing a first positioning portion 31 and a second positioning portion 32 on the main body 10 and the liquid collecting container 21 .

[0071] The second positioning portion 32 and the first positioning portion 31 may be matched in any manner. Figure 4 and Fig.10 The first positioning portion 31 and the second positioning portion 32 can be magnetically matched, that is, the first positioning portion 31 and the second positioning portion 32 can be magnetic parts, wherein the first positioning portion 31 and the second positioning portion 32 can both be magnets, or the first positioning portion 31 and the second positioning portion 32 can also be one of which is a magnet and the other is a magnetic metal such as iron, cobalt, nickel, etc. that can be attracted by a magnet.

[0072] The first positioning portion 31 and the second positioning portion 32 cooperate with each other through magnetic attraction to position the liquid collecting structure 20 and the main body 10, which can reduce the installation space occupied by the first positioning portion 31 and the second positioning portion 32 and realize convenient disassembly and assembly of the liquid collecting structure 20 and the main body 10.

[0073] In another embodiment, please refer to FIG. Figure 4 , Figure 8 and Fig.11 The first positioning portion 31 and the second positioning portion 32 can also be snap-fitted. For example, one of the first positioning portion 31 and the second positioning portion 32 can be a snap-fit, and the other can be a slot. The first positioning portion 31 and the second positioning portion 32 can also be snap-fitted or other snap-fitting structures, as long as the liquid collecting structure 20 and the main body 10 can be positioned by snap-fitting.

[0074] For example, see Figure 7 and Figure 8 The first positioning portion 31 may include a first clamping section 311 connected to the outer shell 11 and a limiting section 312 located on the side of the first clamping section 311 opposite to the outer shell 11, the second clamping portion may include a connecting section 321 connected to the liquid collecting container 21 and a second clamping section 322 located on the side of the connecting section 321 opposite to the liquid collecting container 21, the second clamping section 322 has a clamping groove, the first clamping section 311 is clamped into the clamping groove, and the limiting section 312 is located on the side of the second clamping section 322 close to the liquid collecting container 21.

[0075] The first clamping section 311 and the second clamping section 322 are used for clamping and positioning. When the first clamping section 311 is clamped into the clamping slot of the second clamping section 322, the liquid collecting structure 20 and the main body 10 can be positioned. The limiting section 312 is used for limiting. It can be understood that when the first clamping section 311 is clamped into the clamping slot, the limiting section 312 can be clamped between the second clamping section 322 and the outer wall of the liquid collecting container 21 to limit the movement of the liquid collecting structure 20 in the direction away from the main body 10. Preferably, the second clamping section 322, the limiting section 312 and the outer wall of the liquid collecting container 21 can be in close contact to further limit the movement of the liquid collecting structure 20. By clamping the first clamping section 311 into the clamping slot and clamping the limiting section 312 into the side of the second clamping section 322 close to the container, not only can the liquid collecting container 21 and the main body 10 be positioned, but also the liquid collecting container 21 can be fixed to prevent the liquid collecting container 21 from being displaced due to accidental touch.

[0076] In other embodiments, the first positioning portion 31 may also include a connecting section 321 connected to the outer shell 11 and a second clamping section 322 located on the side of the connecting section 321 opposite to the outer shell 11, the second clamping section 322 has a clamping groove, and the second positioning portion 32 may include a first clamping section 311 connected to the liquid collecting container 21 and a limiting section 312 located on the side of the first clamping section 311 opposite to the liquid collecting container 21, the first clamping section 311 is clamped into the clamping groove, and the limiting section 312 is located on the side of the second clamping section 322 close to the outer shell 11.

[0077] For example, see Fig.11 The first positioning portion 31 may have a first limiting groove 31a formed by a depression, and the two opposite side walls of the first limiting groove 31a respectively have convex bumps 313 protruding into the first limiting groove 31a. The second positioning portion 32 is inserted into the first limiting groove 31a between the two convex bumps 313, and the displacement of the liquid collection structure 20 is limited by the two convex bumps 313.

[0078] The first limiting groove 31a is provided on the housing 11, and may be recessed in a direction away from the liquid collecting structure 20. By extending the second positioning portion 32 into the first limiting groove 31a, the main body 10 and the liquid collecting container 21 may be positioned. Fig.11 The second positioning portion 32 may include an extension section 323 connected to the liquid collecting container 21 and two third clamping sections 333 located on the side of the extension section 323 opposite to the liquid collecting container 21. The two third clamping sections 333 are arranged opposite to each other. The two third clamping sections 333 can be inserted into the first limiting groove 31a between the two protrusions 313. The side wall of the first limiting groove 31a and the two protrusions 313 can limit the displacement of the liquid collecting structure 20.

[0079] In other embodiments, the second positioning portion 32 may also have a first limiting groove 31a formed by a depression, and the two opposite side walls of the first limiting groove 31a respectively have a convex bump 313 protruding into the first limiting groove 31a, and the first positioning portion 31 is inserted into the first limiting groove 31a between the two convex bumps 313, and the displacement of the liquid collection structure 20 is limited by the two convex bumps 313.

[0080] The first limiting groove 31 a of the second positioning portion 32 may be recessed in a direction away from the main body 10 .

[0081] For example, see Figure 4 The first positioning portion 31 may have a limiting protrusion 314 , and the second positioning portion 32 may have a second limiting groove 32 a . The limiting protrusion 314 is inserted into the second limiting groove 32 a to limit the displacement of the liquid collecting structure 20 .

[0082] For the embodiment in which the first positioning portion 31 has a first limiting groove 31a, the limiting protrusion 314 can be arranged on the upper side wall or the lower side wall of the first limiting groove 31a along the height direction, and the second positioning portion 32 has a second limiting groove 32a at a corresponding position, and the liquid collecting structure 20 is limited in displacement by the limiting protrusion 314 being inserted into the second limiting groove 32a. It should be noted that the cooperation between the limiting protrusion 314 and the second limiting groove 32a can not only limit the position, but also have a positioning effect, that is, the positioning of the main body 10 and the liquid collecting structure 20 is realized. In one embodiment, the limiting protrusion 314 can extend in the lateral direction, and the second limiting groove 32a also extends in the lateral direction accordingly to enhance the limiting effect.

[0083] In other embodiments, the second positioning portion 32 may also have a first limiting groove 31a formed by a depression, and the two opposite side walls of the first limiting groove 31a respectively have a convex bump 313 protruding into the first limiting groove 31a, and the first positioning portion 31 is inserted into the first limiting groove 31a between the two convex bumps 313, and the displacement of the liquid collection structure 20 is limited by the two convex bumps 313.

[0084] See also Figures 3 to 10 The first positioning portion 31 may be disposed on the base 112 or on the shell 111 . In other embodiments, the first positioning portion 31 may be disposed on the shell 111 and the base 112 , respectively.

[0085] See also Figures 3 to 10 The first positioning portion 31 may be disposed near the bottom end of the housing 11 along the height direction of the cooking appliance, and the second positioning portion 32 may be disposed near the bottom end of the liquid collecting container 21 along the height direction.

[0086] This arrangement does not occupy the middle part of the liquid collecting container 21, and is convenient for the user to hold the middle part of the liquid collecting container 21 to disassemble and assemble the liquid collecting container 21, which is in line with the user's usage habits.

[0087] The first positioning portion 31 may be Fig. 9 and Fig.10 As shown, the first positioning portion 31 is disposed on the side wall of the housing 111 . The first positioning portion 31 may also be disposed on the side wall of the base 112 . Alternatively, the first positioning portion 31 may be disposed on the side walls of the housing 111 and the base 112 , respectively.

[0088] The first positioning portion 31 may be disposed on the inner side of the side wall of the housing 111 and / or the base 112, or on the outer side of the side wall of the housing 111 and / or the base 112. For example, for a cooking utensil in which the first positioning portion 31 is a magnetic member, the first positioning portion 31 may be disposed inside the side wall to maintain the beautiful appearance of the housing 111 and the base 112.

[0089] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 5 and Figure 6 The housing 111 or the base 112 has a groove 11b that is recessed in a direction away from the liquid collecting structure 20, and the first positioning portion 31 can be disposed on the top wall of the groove 11b.

[0090] The first positioning portion 31 is arranged in the groove 11 b , so that the first positioning portion 31 can be hidden without affecting the positioning effect, and the groove 11 b also has a preliminary positioning function.

[0091] In one embodiment, Figures 2 to 6 , Fig. 9 , Fig.10 For the liquid collecting structure 20 having the cup seat 213 , the second positioning portion 32 may be disposed on the cup seat 213 .

[0092] In other embodiments, the second positioning portion 32 may also be disposed on the cup body 211 .

[0093] In one embodiment, the positioning structure 30 is a positioning mark 33 disposed on the outer surface of the housing, and the liquid collecting structure 20 is positioned by the positioning mark 33 so that the liquid collecting port 10a and the liquid discharging port 11a are in communication.

[0094] The processing of the positioning mark 33 is simple, the production efficiency is high, and the production cost can be reduced. The positioning mark 33 can be set in any way, and can be printed on the outer surface of the shell 11 or sprayed on the outer surface of the shell 11. For example, please refer to Fig.12 The positioning structure 30 may include two positioning marks 33 disposed on the outer surface of the housing 11. The two positioning marks 33 are located on the side of the housing 11 close to the liquid collecting container 21 and are arranged at intervals in the transverse direction. The liquid collecting structure 20 is placed between the two positioning marks 33 to connect the liquid collecting port 10a and the liquid drain port 11a. The transverse direction is perpendicular to the height direction of the cooking appliance.

[0095] That is, the liquid collecting container 21 is positioned by being placed between the two positioning marks 33, and the positioning method is simple, clear and accurate. The processing of the positioning mark 33 is simple, the production efficiency is high, and the production cost can be reduced. The positioning mark 33 can be set in any way, and can be printed on the outer surface of the shell 11 or sprayed on the outer surface of the shell 11.

[0096] In another embodiment, the positioning mark 33 may also be one, for example, the positioning mark may extend in the transverse direction, and the liquid collecting structure 20 may be positioned by being placed between the two side edge lines of the positioning mark 33 in the transverse direction.

[0097] Furthermore, the width dimension of the liquid collection port 10a along the transverse direction may be greater than the width dimension of the liquid discharge port 11a along the transverse direction, the spacing dimension between the two positioning marks 33 along the transverse direction may be greater than the width dimension of the portion of the liquid collection container 21 located between the two positioning marks 33 along the transverse direction, and the difference between the spacing dimension of the positioning marks 33 and the width dimension of the liquid collection container 21 is smaller than the difference between the width dimension of the liquid collection port 10a and the width dimension of the liquid discharge port 11a.

[0098] The purpose of the lateral width dimension of the liquid collecting port 10a being greater than the lateral width dimension of the liquid discharging port 11a is that after the rice soup is discharged from the liquid discharging port 11a, it can all enter the liquid collecting structure 20 from the liquid collecting port 10a. At the same time, if there is a positioning error in the liquid collecting container 21, the liquid collecting port 10a can also be aligned with the liquid discharging port 11a, that is, the positioning of the liquid collecting container 21 has a certain tolerance.

[0099] The lateral spacing between the two positioning marks 33 is greater than the lateral width of the portion of the liquid collecting container 21 between the two positioning marks 33 . Therefore, the user can adjust the position of the liquid collecting container 21 between the two positioning marks 33 .

[0100] The difference between the spacing dimensions of the positioning marks 33 and the width dimension of the liquid collecting container 21 is smaller than the difference between the width dimension of the liquid collecting port 10a and the width dimension of the liquid discharge port 11a. That is to say, the adjustable range of the liquid collecting container 21 between the two positioning marks 33 is smaller than the adjustable range of the liquid collecting port 10a aligned with the liquid discharge port 11a. In this way, it can be ensured that when the liquid collecting container 21 is located between the two positioning marks 33, the liquid collecting port 10a can be connected with the liquid discharge port 11a.
