[0030] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, an embodiment of the utility model provides a cooking appliance, which includes a body 1, an inner pot assembly 2, a door assembly 3 and a controller.

[0031] The machine body 1 includes a first cavity (not shown in the figure) and a second cavity (not shown in the figure), wherein at least two groups of first heating components 5 are arranged in the first cavity. A second heating component 6 is arranged in the second cavity, and food can be placed in the second cavity, and the second heating component 6 can heat the second cavity to cook the food.

[0032] The inner pot assembly 2 is detachably disposed in the first cavity, and the inner pot assembly 2 includes a pot body 20 and a partition 21 disposed in the pot body 20. The partition 21 divides the interior of the pot body 20 into at least two food receiving cavities 22, and each food receiving cavity 22 can be used to hold food. When in use, the inner pot assembly 2 can be taken out of the first cavity, and then the food to be cooked is put in, and finally the inner pot assembly 2 is placed in the first cavity.

[0033] Each food receiving cavity 22 corresponds to a group of first heating components 5. The first heating components 5 can generate hot air, and the hot air can enter the food receiving cavity 22 to heat the food.

[0034] The door assembly 3 is disposed on the machine body 1 for opening or closing the second cavity. When cooking food through the second cavity, the door assembly 3 can be opened first to place the food in the second cavity, and then the second heating assembly 6 can be started.

[0035] The controller is electrically connected to the first heating component 5 and the second heating component 6 respectively, so as to control the two heating components to start or shut down respectively.

[0036] When food only needs to be cooked through the second cavity, the second heating component 6 can be started individually; when food only needs to be cooked through two food receiving cavities 22, the two groups of first heating components 5 can be started individually; when food only needs to be cooked through one food receiving cavity 22, the first heating component 5 corresponding to the food receiving cavity 22 can be started individually.

[0037] The cooking utensil provided in this embodiment combines an air fryer and an oven. The inner pot assembly 2 has at least two food holding cavities 22, and the second cavity can be used to bake food. In this way, the cooking utensil can cook at least three kinds of food in the same time period, meeting the different needs of consumers.

[0038] like Figure 1 As shown, the partition 21 of the inner pot assembly 2 of this embodiment is arranged in the middle of the pot body 20 , and the partition 21 divides the interior of the pot body 20 into a plurality of food containing cavities 22 .

[0039] The number of food receiving cavities 22 of this embodiment can be determined according to the shape of the partition 21, such as Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, when the partition 21 is a vertical plate, the partition 21 can divide the interior of the pot body 20 into two food receiving cavities 22 .

[0040] In some embodiments, a control panel 4 and a plurality of buttons are provided on the body 1. The plurality of buttons are electrically connected to the controller respectively. The user can control the start or shut down of the first heating component 5 and the second heating component 6 through the plurality of buttons.

[0041] Among the multiple buttons, there are area buttons 40 for correspondingly controlling the first heating component 5 and the second heating component 6 to start or shut down respectively, and a combined button 41 for controlling the first heating component 5 and the second heating component 6 to start or shut down at the same time.

[0042] Specifically, each first heating component 5 and second heating component 6 corresponds to a zone button 40, which can be understood as each food receiving cavity 22 and second cavity corresponding to a zone button 40. When the user wants to control one group of the first heating components 5 or the second heating components 6 to start or shut down, the user can press the corresponding zone button 40. When the customer needs to control two groups of the first heating components 5 and the second heating components 6 to start or shut down at the same time, the user can press the corresponding merge button 41.

[0043] In this embodiment, each heating component corresponds to a zone button 40, so that two first heating components 5 and one second heating component 6 can work in combination alternately. For example, when only the second cavity is needed to cook food, the zone button 40 corresponding to the second heating component 6 can be pressed alone; when only two food receiving cavities 22 are needed to cook food, the zone buttons 40 corresponding to the two groups of first heating components 5 can be pressed respectively; when one food receiving cavity 22 and the second cavity are needed to cook food at the same time, the zone button 40 corresponding to the second heating component 6 and one of the first heating components 5 can be pressed respectively.

[0044] In some embodiments, the first heating component 5 is disposed at the top of the first cavity, and when the inner pot component 2 is placed in the first cavity, the top of each food receiving cavity 22 corresponds to a group of first heating components 5. The hot air generated by the first heating component 5 can flow downward into the food receiving cavity 22 to heat the food.

[0045] The first heating component 5 includes an annular heating tube 51 and a fan 52. The fan 52 is located on the side of the annular heating tube 51 away from the food receiving cavity 22, that is, the fan 52 is located above the annular heating tube 51. When the fan 52 is started, the cold air generated by the fan 52 can flow downward. After the cold air is heated by the annular heating tube 51 to form hot air, the hot air will enter the food receiving cavity 22 again to heat the food.

[0046] Preferably, the body 1 of this embodiment is provided with an air outlet connected to the first cavity, and the pot body 20 is provided with an air outlet grille, which is opposite to the air outlet on the body 1. After the hot air enters the food holding cavity 22, it will be discharged through the air outlet, thereby realizing air flow.

[0047] like Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments, the annular heating tube 51 can be formed by two parallel tube bodies being coiled, and the center of the annular heating tube 51 has a hollow area 54, and the center of the fan 52 is opposite to the hollow area 54, so that the circulating air flow speed formed by the fan 52 can be greater, thereby improving the cooking speed of food. The area of ​​the hollow area 54 in this embodiment accounts for about 65% of the total area of ​​the annular heating tube 51.

[0048] Preferably, the surface load of the annular heating tube 51 of this embodiment is 7.5±0.5 W / cm 2 , and the number of circles of the annular heating tube 51 around the hollow area 54 is 1±0.25 circles, so that the higher surface load not only enables the annular heating tube 51 to achieve efficient and uniform radiation, but also improves the brown color of the food surface. The shape of the annular heating tube 51 can be elliptical or other polygonal.

[0049] like Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, a heat reflecting plate 53 is provided on the body 1, and the heat reflecting plate 53 is fixed on the top of the first cavity. The annular heating tube 51 and the fan 52 are respectively fixed on the heat reflecting plate 53, and the annular heating tube 51 is fixed on the side of the heat reflecting plate 53 facing the food receiving cavity 22. The heat reflecting plate 53 can reflect the heat emitted by the annular heating tube 51 into the food receiving cavity 22 to improve the heating efficiency.

[0050] There is no specific limitation on the manner or structure in which the annular heating pipe 51 and the fan 52 are fixed on the heat reflecting plate 53 .

[0051] The fan blades of the fan 52 of this embodiment are located on the side of the heat reflecting plate 53 facing the food receiving cavity 22, and the motor of the fan 52 is located on the side of the heat reflecting plate 53 away from the food receiving cavity 22, so as to avoid the influence of high temperature on the operation of the motor.

[0052] Preferably, the heat reflecting plate 53 of this embodiment is concave toward the side away from the food receiving cavity 22 , the annular heating tube 51 and the fan blades are located on the concave side of the heat reflecting plate 53 , and the motor is fixed on the convex side of the heat reflecting plate 53 .

[0053] In some embodiments, a partition positioning switch 8 is provided in the first cavity, and the partition positioning switch 8 is electrically connected to the controller to ensure the effectiveness of the partition signal detection. The partition positioning switch 8 is used to contact or separate from the partition 21 to determine whether there is a partition 21 in the pot body 20.

[0054] Specifically, when the inner pot assembly 2 is placed in the first cavity, if the partition 21 in the pot body 20 does not trigger the partition positioning switch 8, the controller can display the words "no partition" through the control panel 4 to prompt the user that the pot body 20 is not installed with the partition 21; if the partition 21 in the pot body 20 triggers the partition positioning switch 8, the controller can display the words "with partition" through the control panel 4 to prompt the user to install the partition 21 in the pot body 20.

[0055] like Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments, the partition positioning switch 8 is arranged at a position close to the rear wall of the first cavity, and the partition positioning switch 8 includes a push rod 82, a switch 81 and a spring 83.

[0056] The push rod 82 is arranged vertically, the switch 81 is located above the push rod 82, the bottom of the push rod 82 extends into the first cavity, the top of the push rod 82 is used to trigger the switch 81, and the spring 83 is sleeved on the push rod 82 to apply a force to the push rod 82 to move it away from the switch 81 (i.e., downward).

[0057] When the inner pot assembly 2 is placed in the first cavity, the partition 21 can push the push rod 82 to move upward to trigger the switch 81, thereby compressing the spring 83. At this time, the partition 21 limit switch 81 is in a triggered state. When the inner pot assembly 2 is taken out of the first cavity, the partition 21 will separate from the push rod 82. Under the action of the spring 83, the push rod 82 can be extended into the first cavity again. At this time, the partition positioning switch 8 is in an untriggered state.

[0058] like Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments, the first cavity is provided with an inner pot positioning switch 9 for detecting whether the inner pot assembly 2 is completely placed in the first cavity. The specific working principle of the inner pot positioning switch 9 is the same as that of the partition positioning switch 8, which will not be repeated here.

[0059] Furthermore, the inner pot positioning switch 9 is also electrically connected to the controller. When the inner pot assembly 2 is completely placed in the first cavity, if the inner pot positioning switch 9 is triggered, the user can control the two groups of first heating components 5 and second heating components 6 to start or shut down respectively through the three area buttons 40, that is, both the food holding cavity 22 and the second cavity can be used; when the inner pot assembly 2 is completely placed in the first cavity, if the inner pot positioning switch 9 is not triggered, the user can only control the second heating component 6 to start or shut down through the area button 40 corresponding to the second heating component 6, that is, only the second cavity can be used, and the first cavity cannot be used.

[0060] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, a rack 7 is provided in the second cavity of the present embodiment, and the rack 7 can be used to place food or a tray for holding food. The second heating component 6 includes an upper heating tube 61 and a lower heating tube 62. The upper heating tube 61 is located above the rack 7, and the lower heating tube 62 is located below the rack 7.

[0061] The ends of the upper heating tube 61 and the lower heating tube 62 can be fixed on the side wall of the second cavity respectively. The door assembly 3 on the body 1 can prevent the baking heat in the second cavity from being lost, so as to achieve a sufficient baking effect.

[0062] The positions of the second cavity and the first cavity on the body 1 of this embodiment are not specifically limited. The second cavity and the first cavity may be on the left and right sides of the body 1. Preferably, the second cavity is located below the first cavity.

[0063] The above embodiments are only exemplary embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. The protection scope of the present invention is defined by the claims. Those skilled in the art may make various modifications or equivalent substitutions to the present invention within the essence and protection scope of the present invention, and such modifications or equivalent substitutions shall also be deemed to fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
