[0021] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, not all of the embodiments. According to the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0022] In the description of the embodiments of the present application, it should be noted that, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the terms "connected" and "connection" should be understood in a broad sense, for example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be directly connected or indirectly connected through an intermediate medium. For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in the embodiments of the present application can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0023] When a cooking appliance is used to cook rice, there are often multiple stages, including a soaking stage, a gelatinization stage, a boiling stage, and a gelatinization and stewing stage. When the rice starts to be cooked, the rice and water are put into the cooking appliance in a certain proportion. In the soaking stage, the cooking appliance heats up and soaks the rice. When the temperature is raised to a certain temperature, the rice enters a heat preservation soaking stage, so that the rice absorbs a part of the water. After soaking for a preset time, the cooking appliance continues to heat up to a preset temperature, and the rice continues to absorb water and continues to gelatinize. After a certain time, the water inside the cooking appliance continues to heat up until it enters a boiling stage, and the boiling stage is maintained for a period of time to reach a high-pressure gelatinization stage. After the high-pressure gelatinization stage is maintained for a period of time, the cooking appliance enters a stewing stage. At this time, there is still a stage in the cooking appliance that maintains a boiling state, and the rice inside the cooking appliance is completely cooked and the rice soup is completely discharged by using the stage of maintaining the boiling state. Thereafter, the cooking appliance stops working and maintains the heat preservation stage until the power is cut off. The rice soup inside the cooking device is mainly formed in the above-mentioned boiling stage, and the rice soup needs to be collected during the period from when the cooking device reaches the boiling stage to when the cooking device stops working. In order to obtain rice with moderate hardness and rice soup with a suitable taste, a cooking device is provided, and the boiling stage described below only refers to the boiling stage during the temperature rise until the boiling stage and the gelatinization stage, and does not include the stage during the stewing stage where the boiling state is maintained.

[0024] In one aspect of the present application, a cooking device is provided, which is used for steaming rice, and can increase the degree of protein decomposition in the rice by adding more water during the steaming of the rice, and at the same time, the rice soup can be discharged and collected during the boiling process, so that the user can drink the fresh, sweet and fragrant rice soup, and the rice soup can be transported to a separate container at an appropriate time. For details, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , Figure 1 is a cross-sectional view of a first embodiment of the cooking utensil provided by the present application;

[0025] Figure 2 yes Figure 1sectional view of the second embodiment of the cooking utensil described in . Specifically, in some embodiments, the cooking utensil includes an inner pot 1, a rice soup collection box 2, a rice soup channel 3 and a pressure control component 4, wherein the rice soup channel 3 connects the inner pot 1 and the rice soup collection box 2, and can timely transfer the excess rice soup in the inner pot 1 to the rice soup collection box 2 through the rice soup channel 3, so as to avoid the excess water affecting the cooking of the rice when the cooking utensil is working, causing the rice to be excessively gelatinized and affecting the taste. The pressure control component 4 includes a control valve 41, and the control valve 41 can control the closing or opening of the rice soup channel 3, and is used to control the opening of the rice soup channel 3 at an appropriate time so that the rice soup flows into the rice soup collection box 2, so as to avoid sending unformed rice soup into the rice soup collection box 2, which affects the normal cooking of the rice in the inner pot 1 on the one hand, and affects the taste of the rice soup on the other hand. At the same time, by providing the pressure control component 4, the pressure difference between the inner liner 1 and the rice soup collection box 2 is enhanced, and it is no longer necessary to add a longer pipe in the rice soup extending into the inner liner 1, so as to ensure that the pressure difference generated between the inner liner 1 and the rice soup collection box 2 can achieve the purpose of pressing the rice soup into the rice soup channel 3, simplifying the overall structural setting inside the cooking utensil, reducing the difficulty of cleaning, and optimizing the use experience. In order to speed up the speed at which the rice soup reaches the rice soup collection box 2 when the preset conditions are met, the pressure control component 4 also includes a pressure regulating member 42, and the pressure regulating member 42 includes a connecting port 420, and the connecting port 420 is connected to the inner liner 1 or the rice soup collection box 2, and the pressure regulating member 42 performs air blowing or air suction according to the preset conditions. That is, the connecting port 420 is connected to any one of the inner liner 1, the rice soup channel 3 or the rice soup collection box 2. The pressure regulating member 42 performs air blowing or air suction according to the preset conditions, so as to adjust the pressure of any one of the inner liner 1, the rice soup channel 3 or the rice soup collection box 2 through the connecting port 420. When rice soup needs to be collected, the rice soup passage 3 is always connected to the rice soup collection box 2, and the pressure regulating member 42 works to increase the pressure difference between the inner pot 1 and the rice soup collection box 2. The preset conditions include the specific connection position of the connection port 420, time control, or the conditions for opening or closing the pressure regulating member 42 in the preset program of the cooking appliance. Specifically, when the connection port 420 is connected to the rice soup passage 3 or the rice soup collection box 2, during the preset time period or program when rice soup needs to be collected, the pressure regulating member 42 performs air suction to reduce the air pressure in the rice soup passage 3 or the rice soup collection box 2, so that the rice soup flows smoothly from the inner pot 1 into the rice soup collection box 2 via the rice soup passage 3. When the connecting port 420 is connected to the inner pot 1, the connecting port 420 serves as an air supply port. When the rice soup needs to be discharged from the inner pot 1, the pressure regulating member 42 works to blow air and delivers the gas into the inner pot 1, thereby increasing the air pressure in the inner pot 1. Under the action of the pressure, the rice soup flows to the end with lower air pressure, namely, flows into the rice soup collecting box 2 through the rice soup channel 3, thereby accelerating the flow rate of the rice soup.

[0026] Furthermore, in order to further ensure that the rice soup can be transported from the inner pot 1 to the inside of the rice soup collecting box 2 under the action of air pressure without backflow, a one-way valve 43 is further provided on the connecting port 420. In some embodiments, the one-way valve 43 is provided in the inner pot 1. When the pressure regulating member 42 is working, the one-way valve 43 opens to send air into the inner pot 1 to increase the air pressure in the inner pot 1. In addition, since the gas can only be transmitted in one direction through the one-way valve 43, the gas sent into the inner pot 1 by the pressure regulating member 42 will not be squeezed out of the rice soup due to excessive air pressure in the inner pot 1, and will not splash out of the cooking utensil from the inner pot 1 through the one-way valve 43, causing safety hazards such as scalding the user.

[0027] Furthermore, the cooking appliance also includes a heating mechanism 9 and a controller (not shown), and the controller is connected to the heating mechanism 9. During the cooking stage of the cooking appliance, the control valve 41 is in a closed state, and the rice grains and water in the inner pot 1 are heated. The heating method inside the cooking appliance is a power ratio method, and a heating cycle is composed of a heating stage and a holding stage. In the holding stage, when the heating mechanism 9 in the cooking appliance is in a stopped heating state, the controller controls the pressure regulating member 42 to open, pressurize the inner pot 1 or decompress the rice soup collection box 2. During the heating stage, when the heating mechanism 9 is working, the controller controls the pressure regulating member 42 to close, and stops generating an air pressure difference between the inner pot 1 and the rice soup collection box 2, so as to avoid the rice soup from entering the pressure regulating member 42 from the connecting port 420 due to the unstable pressure between the inner pot 1 and the rice soup collection box 2, thereby affecting the service life of the pressure regulating member. When the controller obtains that the pressure of the inner pot 1 is greater than the pressure of the rice soup collection box 2, the control valve 41 opens the rice soup channel 3, so that the rice soup in the inner pot 1 can enter the rice soup collection box 2 through the rice soup channel 3. When the cooking appliance is used to cook rice, the controller further improves the control degree of various conditions inside the cooking appliance, so that the rice soup in the inner pot 1 can smoothly enter the rice soup collection box 2 through the rice soup channel 3, and the normal cooking of rice is achieved while ensuring the good taste of the rice soup. At the same time, a variety of sensing devices are provided, which can also ensure that when using the cooking appliance, the user can obtain rice of different degrees of softness or rice soup of different thicknesses according to actual preferences or needs, so that the cooking appliance can be suitable for a variety of different needs, optimize the use of the cooking appliance and enhance market competitiveness.

[0028] In other embodiments, the connection port 420 is connected to the rice soup collection box 2 or the rice soup channel 3. In this case, the connection port 420 serves as an air inlet. Figure 2When the rice soup needs to be discharged from the inner pot 1, the pressure regulating member 42 works to absorb the gas in the rice soup collecting box 2 or the rice soup channel 3, thereby reducing the air pressure in the rice soup collecting box 2. Similarly, the rice soup flows to the end with lower air pressure under the action of the pressure difference, that is, flows from the inner pot 1 through the rice soup channel 3 into the rice soup collecting box 2. At this time, the one-way valve 43 is arranged in the rice soup channel 3. When the pressure regulating member 42 works, the one-way valve 43 opens, and air is sucked in the rice soup collecting box 2 or the rice soup channel 3, thereby reducing the air pressure in the rice soup collecting box 2. By additionally providing the pressure regulating component 42 and the one-way valve 43 provided in the rice soup passage 3 and adopting the same air pressure flow principle, the flow speed of the rice soup in the cooking utensil is accelerated, so as to avoid the situation in which the rice soup remains in the inner pot 1 for too long due to the slow flow rate when the rice soup in the cooking utensil is flowing, thereby causing unnecessary influence on the cooking of rice and further affecting the taste of the rice or the rice soup; at the same time, since the gas can only pass through the one-way valve 43 in one direction, when the air pressure difference between the rice soup collecting box 2 and the inner pot 1 is large, the pressure regulating component 42 stops pumping air, and the rice soup and steam cannot rush out of the one-way valve 43, thereby causing damage to the pressure regulating component 42.

[0029] In some embodiments, the cooking appliance further includes at least one of a temperature sensor (not shown), a pressure sensor (not shown) or a timer (not shown) for sensing the working state in the cooking appliance and adjusting the working state of the pressure control component 4 according to the actual working state.

[0030] It is understandable that in order to more intelligently control the opening and closing of the rice soup channel 3 by the pressure control component 4, in some embodiments, the control valve 41 may be a solenoid valve, and the solenoid valve may be electrically connected to the control circuit in the cooking appliance, and electrically connected to the temperature sensor, the pressure sensor or the timer, so as to obtain the signal transmitted by the temperature sensor, the pressure sensor or the timer in the first time, and timely realize the opening or closing of the rice soup channel 3. Furthermore, compared with other control valves 41, the solenoid valve is smaller in size and can occupy a smaller position in the rice soup channel 3, so as to ensure that when the rice soup is pressed into the rice soup channel 3 from the inner pot 1, a large amount of rice soup can flow near the entrance of the rice soup channel 3 at one time, so as to avoid that when the control valve 41 opens the rice soup channel 3, the rice soup transported to the inside of the rice soup channel 3 cannot be completely transported along the rice soup channel 3 due to the large area occupied by the control valve 41, so as to avoid the situation of rice soup reflux, thereby enhancing the overall working efficiency of the cooking appliance and the user's feeling of use.

[0031] It can be understood that the pressure regulating component 42 should stop working when the control valve 41 opens the rice soup channel 3, so as to avoid that when the rice soup enters the rice soup channel 3 from the inner tank 1, the gas sent into the inner tank 1 by the pressure regulating component 42 directly enters the rice soup channel 3, thereby occupying the transportation path of the rice soup, resulting in the rice soup rushed out by the air pressure not being able to be transported to the rice soup collecting box 2 through the rice soup channel 3 in the first time; or when the rice soup flows in the rice soup channel 3, the pressure regulating component 42 inhales air, resulting in the rice soup being sucked into the connecting port 420 when being transported in the rice soup channel 3, thereby damaging the pressure regulating component 42 and affecting the normal collection and transportation of the rice soup.

[0032] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 1 The cooking device further comprises a pot body 5 and a cover body 6 connected to the pot body 5. The cover body 6 covers the entire pot body 5. The inner pot 1 and the rice soup collection box 2 are both installed on the pot body 5. The cover body 6 can be operated to cover or open the inner pot 1 and the rice soup collection box 2, so as to complete the placement or removal of the inner pot 1 and the rice soup collection box 2. The rice soup channel 3 is arranged on the cover body 6, so that the rice soup channel 3 is independently arranged outside the inner pot 1 and the rice soup collection box 2. When the inner pot 1 and the rice soup collection box 2 are processed, the rice soup channel 3 arranged in the cover body 6 will not be affected, so that the rice soup channel 3 is prevented from being unnecessarily affected and causing the rice soup channel 3 to be blocked, thereby affecting the transportation of the rice soup. The rice soup channel 3 comprises a channel inlet 31 and a channel outlet 32. The channel inlet 31 is connected to the inner pot 1. When the rice is steamed in the inner pot 1, more water is added to form rice soup. Since the pressure in the inner pot 1 is relatively high, the rice soup enters the rice soup channel 3 through the channel inlet 31 under the action of air pressure. The channel outlet 32 ​​is connected to the rice soup collection box 2, and the rice soup entering the rice soup channel 3 flows into the rice soup collection box 2 through the channel outlet 32, completing the transportation of the rice soup. The control valve 41 is installed on the cover body 6, and is used to open or close the rice soup channel 3 according to the preset conditions. The control valve 41 includes a movable valve body 410. When the preset conditions are not met inside the cooking utensil, or when the rice soup transportation is completed, the valve body 410 can be operated to move toward the channel inlet 31 to block the channel inlet 31. At this time, the rice soup channel 3 is not connected with the inner pot 1, so as to prevent the rice soup in the inner pot 1 from entering the rice soup channel 3, resulting in the cooked rice being too hard; when the preset conditions are met inside the cooking utensil, the valve body 410 moves away from the channel inlet 31 to open the channel inlet 31. At this time, the rice soup channel 3 is connected with the inner pot 1, and the rice soup is transported from the inner pot 1 through the rice soup channel 3 to the rice soup collection box 2, completing the rice soup collection.

[0033] In other embodiments, the control valve 41 may be a stopcock valve, which may timely open or close the rice soup channel 3 by rotating the valve body 410 according to the signal transmitted by the temperature sensor, pressure sensor or timer obtained by the cooking appliance.

[0034] It can be understood that in order to further ensure the closing performance of the control valve 41 on the rice soup channel 3, in some embodiments, the control valve 41 also includes a sealing ring (not shown), which is mounted on the outside of the valve body 410, further avoiding the problem of steam in the rice soup channel 3 escaping, thereby ensuring the air pressure difference between the rice soup collecting box 2 and the inner pot 1, so that when the rice soup needs to be discharged, the rice soup can enter the rice soup collecting box 2 from the inner pot 1 through the rice soup channel 3 under the action of relatively strong pressure.

[0035] In other embodiments, the control valve 41 in the pressure control assembly 4 can be replaced with a stopper (not shown), which can be rotated to open or close the rice soup channel 3, that is, by rotating to be perpendicular to the extension direction of the rice soup channel 3 to close the rice soup channel 3, or rotating to be parallel to the extension direction or at a certain angle to open the rice soup channel 3. It can be understood that at this time, a protective member (not shown) needs to be additionally provided near the stopper to prevent the stopper from turning over under the action of the air pressure difference when the air pressure difference between the inner liner 1 and the rice soup collection box 2 is large, and the rice soup channel 3 is opened when it is not needed, thereby affecting the generation of the air pressure difference between the inner liner 1 and the rice soup collection box 2.

[0036] It can be understood that in some embodiments, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The cover body 6 includes a receiving cavity 60, and the pressure regulating member 42 is installed in the receiving cavity 60. The receiving cavity 60 is provided with an opening (not shown) at one end facing the inner container 1, and the connecting port 420 is connected with the opening. When the pressure regulating member 42 works normally, the pressure regulating member 42 blows air to the inner container 1 to further adjust the air pressure difference between the rice soup collection box 2 and the inner container 1, so as to ensure that when the rice soup needs to be collected, the rice soup can be transported from the inner container 1 to the inside of the rice soup collection box 2 through the rice soup channel 3 in time. The pressure regulating member 42 can be an air pump, a fan or other structure capable of adjusting the air pressure difference.

[0037] In other embodiments, the opening may be provided at an end facing the rice soup channel 3. In this case, the connecting port 420 is directly connected to the rice soup channel 3, and the rice soup channel 3 is connected to the rice soup collecting box 2. The pressure regulating member 42 absorbs air in the rice soup channel 3, further increasing the air pressure difference between the rice soup collecting box 2 and the inner tank 1, to ensure that when the control valve 41 opens the rice soup channel 3, the air pressure difference between the two is large enough, so that the rice soup in the inner tank 1 can still be delivered to the rice soup collecting box 2 via the rice soup channel 3 without the need for an additional extension tube.

[0038] Similarly, the rice soup collecting box 2 includes a rice soup inlet (not shown), which is connected to the channel outlet 32, and the connecting port 420 is connected to the rice soup inlet, so as to directly inhale the rice soup collecting box 2, thereby adjusting the air pressure difference between the rice soup collecting box 2 and the inner tank 1, thereby ensuring that when rice soup collection is required, the rice soup can be promptly transported from the inner tank 1 to the inside of the rice soup collecting box 2 via the rice soup channel 3.

[0039] For further information, please refer to Figure 1 In some embodiments, the pot body 5 includes a top 51 abutting against the cover body 6 and a side wall 52 connected to the top 51. The pot body 5 is provided with a first accommodating cavity 53 and a second accommodating cavity 54, which are respectively used to accommodate the inner pot 1 and the rice soup collection box 2. The first accommodating cavity 53 and the second accommodating cavity 54 both penetrate the top 51, so as to ensure that the inner pot 1 and the rice soup collection box 2 can be freely taken out, which is convenient for cleaning the inner pot 1 and the rice soup collection box 2 and improves the use experience of the entire cooking utensil. The inner pot 1 is accommodated in the first accommodating cavity 53 for cooking rice, and the rice soup collection box 2 is accommodated in the second accommodating cavity 54 for collecting rice soup. The rice soup channel 3 arranged inside the cover body 6 connects the first accommodating cavity 53 and the second accommodating cavity 54, so as to realize the transportation of rice soup between the inner pot 1 and the rice soup collection box 2.

[0040] In other embodiments, the side wall 52 is further provided with an installation opening (not shown in the figure), which is connected to the second accommodating chamber 54. A buckle (not shown in the figure) is correspondingly provided on the rice soup collecting box 2, which is snapped into the installation opening. The rice soup collecting box 2 is loaded and unloaded from the installation opening to the second accommodating chamber 54, so that the rice soup collecting box 2 can be freely taken out. The channel outlet 32 ​​is aligned with the opening of the rice soup collecting box 2 through the top 51, ensuring that the rice soup can be transported to the rice soup collecting box 2 relatively smoothly when being transported from the rice soup channel 3 to the rice soup collecting box 2, thereby avoiding the backflow of rice soup in the rice soup channel 3, affecting the collection of rice soup inside the entire cooking utensil, and further affecting the cooking quality of rice and the feeling of use.

[0041] Furthermore, a sealing rubber ring (not shown) is provided at the connection between the rice soup collecting box 2 and the channel outlet 32. The sealing rubber ring is mounted on the channel outlet 32 ​​or on the opening of the rice soup collecting box 2, thereby preventing the rice soup from leaking from the connection between the rice soup collecting box 2 and the channel outlet 32 ​​when being transported from the rice soup channel 3 to the rice soup collecting box 2, thereby preventing the outer surface of the rice soup collecting box 2 from being contaminated, causing unnecessary damage to the rice soup, and affecting the usability of the entire cooking utensil.

[0042] In other embodiments, the rice soup collecting box 2 can be arranged outside the pot body 5, the pot body 5 includes a first accommodating cavity 53, the inner pot 1 is accommodated in the first accommodating cavity 53, a through hole (not shown) is arranged on the side wall 52, and the rice soup collecting box 2 includes a rice soup inlet, which connects the channel outlet 32 ​​of the rice soup channel 3 and the rice soup inlet. Since the rice soup collecting box 2 is arranged outside the pot body 5 at this time, the rice soup collecting box 2 can be removed at any time when the cooking utensil is cooking rice and the rice soup is not discharged, so as to obtain fresh rice soup, and there is no need to wait until the cooking utensil finishes cooking the rice.

[0043] Furthermore, when the rice soup collecting box 2 is arranged outside the pot body 5, in order to ensure that the rice soup inside the rice soup collecting box 2 can maintain a certain temperature, a heat storage device (not shown) can be provided on the side wall of the pot body 5 or the box body of the rice soup collecting box. The heat storage device keeps the rice soup collecting box 2 warm, thereby ensuring the palatability of the rice soup inside the rice soup collecting box 2.

[0044] In some embodiments, the cover body 6 includes an inner cover 62 and a cover plate 61, wherein the cover plate 61 completely covers the entire pot body 5, and the cover plate 61 is installed on the side of the inner cover 62 facing the inner pot 1. The inner cover 62 covers the inner pot 1 and the rice soup collecting box 2 as the cover body 6 is flipped, and a rice soup channel 3 is formed between the cover plate 61 and the inner cover 62, ensuring that the entire rice soup channel 3 is completely accommodated in the cover body 6, so that when the rice soup is transported from the inner pot 1 through the rice soup channel 3 to the rice soup collecting box 2, the rice soup will not leak from the rice soup channel 3 due to the rice soup channel 3 being unsealed or exposed to the outside, causing unnecessary waste.

[0045] Furthermore, in order to reduce the design difficulty of the cover body 6, in some embodiments, the rice soup channel 3 may not be set in the cover body 6, and the rice soup channel 3 may be set in the pot body 5. The rice soup channel 3 runs through the pot body 5 to be connected with the rice soup collecting box 2, the channel inlet 31 is connected to the inner pot 1, and the channel outlet 32 ​​is connected to the rice soup collecting box 2, to ensure that when collecting rice soup, the rice soup can flow from the inner pot 1 into the rice soup collecting box 2 through the rice soup channel 3.

[0046] In other embodiments, the cooking appliance further comprises a rice soup guide (not shown) connecting the rice soup passage 3 and the rice soup collecting box 2, one end of the rice soup guide is detachably mounted in the rice soup passage 3, and the other end of the rice soup guide is detachably connected to the rice soup collecting box 2. When the rice soup needs to be collected, the rice soup enters the rice soup collecting box 2 from the inner pot 1 via the rice soup passage 3 and the rice soup guide.

[0047] It can be understood that the rice soup guide can be configured to be integrally formed with the rice soup collecting box 2. In this case, the rice soup inlet is arranged on the rice soup guide, ensuring that when rice soup needs to be collected, the rice soup inlet is extended into the rice soup channel 3. After the control valve 41 opens the rice soup channel 3, the rice soup can enter the rice soup collecting box 2 through the rice soup channel 3.

[0048] It is understandable that in order to further ensure that the rice soup does not leak during transportation, in some embodiments, the cooking utensil further includes a seal 7, which is respectively arranged between the inner cover 62 and the cover plate 61, to prevent the rice soup from leaking from between the cover plate 61 and the inner cover 62 when the rice soup is transported in the rice soup passage 3, entering the interior of the pot body 5, contacting the heating element, and then damaging the cooking utensil, affecting the normal use of the cooking utensil. The seal 7 can also be arranged between the cover plate 61 and the rice soup collection box 2, to further ensure that when the rice soup passes through the rice soup passage 3 inside the cover plate 61 and enters the rice soup collection box 2, the cover plate 61 and the rice soup collection box 2 have good sealing, to prevent the rice soup from leaking from the joint between the two, and then contaminating the outer surface of the rice soup collection box 2, causing unnecessary damage to the rice soup, and affecting the use of the entire cooking utensil.

[0049] Another aspect of the present application is to provide a method for collecting rice soup of a cooking utensil, please refer to Figure 3 , Figure 3 The present invention provides a flow chart of an embodiment of a method for collecting rice soup of a cooking utensil. The method for collecting rice soup includes:

[0050] Step S1: operating the cooking appliance, and in response to the cooking appliance entering a boiling stage, controlling the pressure control component 4 to close the rice soup channel 3.

[0051] When using the cooking utensil to cook rice, only when the water in the inner pot 1 boils will sufficient water vapor be generated to increase the air pressure in the inner pot 1. In order to ensure that the rice is of appropriate softness and hardness, when the water in the inner pot 1 boils, the pressure control component 4 needs to be controlled to close the rice soup channel 3, so as to prioritize the cooking of the rice.

[0052] Specifically, step S1 includes:

[0053] Step S11: Determine whether the cooking appliance has entered a boiling state. When the cooking appliance is working, the heating element inside the cooking appliance will continue to heat the inner pot 1 of the cooking appliance until the rice is cooked. It is determined by whether the cooking appliance has entered a boiling state, and when the temperature signal and the time information reach the preset conditions, it is determined that this is the time to produce and discharge the rice soup.

[0054] Step S12: In response to the cooking utensil entering the boiling stage, the pressure control component 4 is controlled to close the rice soup channel 3. When the inner pot 1 in the cooking utensil is heated to a certain degree, the inner pot 1 generates a certain amount of water vapor due to the evaporation of the rice soup. In order to prevent the water vapor from flowing into the rice soup collecting box 2 along the rice soup channel 3, unnecessary gas is retained in the rice soup collecting box 2, which affects the pressure difference between the rice soup collecting box 2 and the inner pot 1. As a result, when the rice soup needs to be collected, the rice soup cannot smoothly enter the rice soup collecting box 2.

[0055] Step S2: in response to reaching the first preset condition, controlling the pressure control component 4 to open the rice soup channel 3.

[0056] When the cooking appliance is cooking rice, the water in the inner pot 1 has been boiling, and after keeping it for a period of time, the rice is almost done and rice soup is formed. At this time, the device in the cooking appliance detects whether the first preset condition is met. If the first preset condition is met, the pressure control component 4 controls the rice soup channel 3 to connect the inner pot 1 and the rice soup collecting box 2. Under the action of the pressure difference between the inner pot 1 and the rice soup collecting box 2, the rice soup flows from the inner pot 1 through the rice soup channel 3 into the rice soup collecting box 2, completing the collection of the rice soup.

[0057] Specifically, step S2 includes:

[0058] Step S21: Determine whether a first preset condition is met.

[0059] Among them, the first preset condition is set according to the actual needs of the user, which can be the temperature, air pressure or holding time in different rice cooking modes, etc., which is used to help the cooking appliance judge and decide the appropriate control pressure control component 4 to beat the rice soup channel 3 and realize the collection of rice soup.

[0060] Step S22: Control the pressure control component 4 to open the rice soup channel 3. The pressure control component 4 controls the control valve 41 to move to open the rice soup channel 3, so that the rice soup inside the inner pot 1 can smoothly pass through the rice soup channel 3 into the rice soup collecting box 2, thereby achieving normal cooking of rice and ensuring the good taste of the rice soup.

[0061] In some application scenarios, in order to further enhance the air pressure difference between the inner pot 1 and the rice soup channel 3 or the rice soup collecting box 2 , a pressure regulating member 42 may be provided at any point between the inner pot 1 , the rice soup channel 3 or the rice soup collecting box 2 .

[0062] By providing a pressure regulating member 42, before the pressure control component 4 opens the rice soup passage 3, the air pressure in the inner pot 1 or the rice soup collection box 2 is changed in the cooking utensil, power is accumulated for the transportation of the rice soup, and when the pressure control component 4 controls and opens the rice soup passage 3, a sufficiently strong power is provided to the rice soup, and the rice soup is pressed from the inner pot 1 into the rice soup passage 3, ensuring that the cooking utensil does not need to be additionally provided with a long tube extending into the inner pot 1, and can achieve the pressure difference between the inner pot 1 and the rice soup collection box 2, and transport the rice soup to the rice soup collection box 2 through the rice soup passage 3, and complete the collection of the rice soup. The overall structural setting inside the cooking utensil is simplified, the cleaning difficulty is reduced, and the use feeling is optimized.

[0063] Further, according to the different positions of the connection port 420, the pressure regulating member 42 has two working modes, namely, controlling the pressure regulating member 42 to inhale or blow air, and the pressure regulating member 42 inhales or blows air until the rice soup channel 3 is opened and then stops. Among them, in some specific application scenarios, when the rice soup needs to be discharged from the inner pot 1, the connection port 420 acts as an air inlet, and the pressure regulating member 42 works to absorb the gas in the rice soup collecting box 2 or the rice soup channel 3, thereby reducing the air pressure in the rice soup collecting box 2. Similarly, the rice soup flows to the end with lower air pressure under the action of pressure, that is, flows into the rice soup collecting box 2 through the rice soup channel 3, thereby accelerating the flow speed of the rice soup in the cooking utensil, and avoiding the rice soup from remaining in the inner pot 1 for too long due to the slow speed when the rice soup flows in the cooking utensil, which has an unnecessary impact on the cooking of rice, thereby affecting the taste of the rice or the rice soup.

[0064] In other specific application scenarios, when the connecting port 420 is connected to the inner pot 1, the connecting port 420 serves as an air supply port. When the rice soup needs to be discharged from the inner pot 1, the pressure regulating component 42 works to blow air and delivers the gas into the inner pot 1, thereby increasing the air pressure in the inner pot 1. Under the action of the pressure, the rice soup flows to the end with lower air pressure, that is, flows into the rice soup collecting box 2 through the rice soup channel 3, thereby speeding up the flow rate of the rice soup and preventing the rice soup from remaining in the inner pot 1 for too long, which would have unnecessary effects on the cooking of the rice.

[0065] It is understandable that in this application scenario, after the controller opens the rice soup channel 3, the pressure regulating member 42 should stop working. That is, after the rice soup channel 3 is opened, the pressure regulating member 42 should be stopped in time to avoid convection between the airflow generated by the operation of the pressure regulating member 42 and the rice soup, thereby causing the rice soup to flow in reverse, affecting the outflow of the rice soup from the inner pot 1 or affecting the flow direction of the rice soup in the rice soup channel 3.

[0066] Or in this application scenario, the heating method inside the cooking utensil is a power ratio method, that is, a heating cycle consists of a heating stage and a holding stage, wherein the heating inside the cooking utensil is stopped during the holding stage until the next heating cycle begins. The pressure regulating member 42 is activated during the holding stage to supply air to the inner pot 1 to increase the pressure inside the inner pot 1. When the cooking utensil starts to heat, the pressure regulating member 42 stops working, and the pressure control component 4 synchronously controls the rice soup channel 3 to close, thereby preventing the rice soup or water vapor in the inner pot 1 from entering the pressure regulating member 42 through the connection port 420, causing damage to the pressure regulating member 42 and affecting the service life of the pressure regulating member 42.

[0067] In some application scenarios, the first preset condition may be to measure at least one of the duration of closing the rice soup channel 3, sensing the pressure in the inner pot 1, and sensing the temperature of the cover 6. By providing a temperature sensor, a pressure sensor, a timer, and other structures in the cooking utensil, the changes in various parameters in the cooking utensil can be obtained in real time, and used as an important evidence of whether the cooking utensil discharges rice soup. At the same time, the provision of one or more sensing devices can also ensure that when using the cooking utensil, the user can obtain rice of different degrees of softness or rice soup of different thicknesses according to actual preferences or needs, so that the cooking utensil can be adapted to the different needs of different users, optimize the use of the cooking utensil and enhance market competitiveness.

[0068] Specifically, when at least one of the conditions that the rice soup passage 3 is closed for a preset time, the pressure in the inner pot 1 reaches a preset pressure, and the temperature of the cover 6 reaches a preset temperature is met, the rice soup passage 3 is opened. According to the temperature of the cover 6 obtained by the temperature sensor, or the air pressure value in the inner pot 1 measured by the pressure sensor, or the duration of boiling of the cooking utensil, the obtained measurement data is compared with the preset value. When the measurement data reaches the preset value, the pressure control component 4 is controlled to move and open the rice soup passage 3, so that the rice soup in the inner pot 1 can smoothly pass through the rice soup passage 3 into the rice soup collecting box 2, so that the rice can be cooked normally and the taste of the rice soup can be ensured to be good.

[0069] Specifically, when any one of the first preset conditions is not met, heating is continued to keep the inside of the cooking utensil in a boiling state. At this time, if the temperature of the cover 6 obtained by the temperature sensor, or the air pressure value in the inner pot 1 measured by the pressure sensor, or the duration of boiling of the cooking utensil, does not reach the preset value, it proves that the rice inside the cooking utensil has not yet reached the condition for discharging the rice soup, and then the inner pot 1 is heated to keep the inner pot 1 in a boiling state, and the power for discharging the rice soup continues to be accumulated until the preset condition is met.

[0070] In some application scenarios, the control valve 41 in the pressure control assembly 4 is a solenoid valve. When the rice soup channel 3 needs to be closed, the solenoid valve is energized and controls the valve body 410 to move to close the rice soup channel 3. Compared with other control valves 41, the solenoid valve can be directly connected to the control circuit in the cooking appliance, and can directly obtain the value obtained by the sensor, and can directly close the rice soup channel 3 electrically or pneumatically.

[0071] Furthermore, after ensuring that the water inside the inner pot 1 is continuously kept in a boiling state, a certain measurement data in the entire cooking appliance is measured using the pressure control component 4 and the sensing element, and the measurement data is compared with the first preset condition. After the first preset condition is reached, the solenoid valve is powered off to move the solenoid valve to open the rice soup channel 3, so that the inner pot 1 is connected to the rice soup collection box 2 through the rice soup channel 3, and the rice soup is collected.

[0072] In some application scenarios, when the rice soup is continuously transported from the inner pot 1 to the rice soup collection box 2, during the boiling stage, the rice soup channel 3 may be opened or closed multiple times, and it is necessary to determine when to control the pressure control component 4 to close the rice soup channel 3 to complete the collection of the entire rice soup. Figure 4 , Figure 4 yes Figure 3 A flow chart of another embodiment of the rice soup collection method described in the embodiment, wherein the rice soup collection method includes steps S1 and S2 that are the same as the flow chart in the above embodiment, and also includes:

[0073] Step S3: In response to the cooking appliance being in the boiling stage and reaching the second preset condition, the pressure control component 4 is controlled again to close the rice soup channel 3, and when the first preset condition is reached, the pressure control component 4 is controlled again to open the rice soup channel 3. When the rice soup flows out of the inner pot 1 under the action of the air pressure difference, the air pressure between the inner pot 1 and the rice soup channel 3 or the rice soup collecting box 2 gradually tends to be stable. When the second preset condition is reached, the rice soup is no longer affected by the air pressure difference. At this time, the pressure control component 4 is controlled to close the rice soup channel 3 and wait for the pressure inside the inner pot 1 to increase with the increase of temperature, until the first preset condition is reached again, and the pressure control component 4 is controlled to open the rice soup channel 3 to complete the transportation of the rice soup again.

[0074] Wherein, step S3 specifically includes:

[0075] Step S31: Determine whether the boiling stage in the cooking utensil is over. When the rice soup channel 3 remains open, it is necessary to keep an eye on the state inside the cooking utensil so that the cooking utensil can obtain its internal working status in time, and then complete the cooking in real time and remind the user that the work is over, thereby ensuring the usability of the cooking utensil.

[0076] Step S32: Determine whether the second preset condition is met in the cooking utensil. When the second preset condition is met in the cooking utensil, the pressure control component 4 is controlled again to close the rice soup passage 3, and when the cooking utensil continues to keep boiling until the first preset condition is met again, the pressure control component 4 is controlled again to open the rice soup passage 3, and the rice soup in the inner pot 1 of the cooking utensil is transported to the rice soup collecting box 2 through the rice soup passage 3 again.

[0077] It can be understood that the rice soup channel 3 can be opened or closed multiple times during the boiling stage until the boiling stage inside the cooking utensil ends. At this time, the rice soup channel 3 is controlled to be continuously opened until cooking in the entire cooking utensil is completed and the cooking utensil stops running.

[0078] Among them, the second preset condition is similar to the first preset condition, and can be at least one of the timing of closing the rice soup channel 3, sensing the pressure in the inner pot 1, and sensing the temperature of the cover 6, and the second preset condition and the first preset condition are set correspondingly.

[0079] It is understandable that in some embodiments, when the first preset condition and the second preset condition are both durations, the first preset condition and the second preset condition can be set to the same value or different values. That is, the duration used inside the cooking appliance to determine whether to maintain a certain period of time after entering the boiling stage is the same as the duration of time when the cooking appliance reaches the point of discharging rice soup again after discharging part of the rice soup. Furthermore, the duration can also be adjusted to different durations according to the actual operation mode and actual needs of the cooking appliance, so that the cooking appliance can be used in a wider range of scenarios.

[0080] In other embodiments, when the first preset condition and the second preset condition are both pressure or temperature, the second preset condition is less than the first preset condition. Since the rice soup enters the rice soup channel 3 from the inner liner 1 under the action of air pressure after obtaining a certain power, the air pressure in the inner liner 1 must be greater than the air pressure inside the rice soup channel 3 or the rice soup collecting box 2, so that the rice soup can flow out from the inner liner 1 under the action of air pressure; when the rice soup stops being transported, the air pressure inside the inner liner 1 and the rice soup channel 3 or the rice soup collecting box 2 tends to be the same, and there is no longer an air pressure difference between the two, and the rice soup cannot be squeezed out of the inner liner 1. Therefore, when the second preset condition reached by the inner liner 1 and the rice soup channel 3 or the rice soup collecting box 2 tending to be the same is pressure or temperature, the predetermined value of the second preset condition must be less than the value of the first preset condition to achieve the above effect.

[0081] When it is obtained in step S31 that the boiling stage in the cooking utensil has ended, the rice soup channel 3 is kept open until the cooking is completed and until the cooking utensil stops running. At this time, the cooking utensil as a whole completes the cooking of rice. When the boiling stage in the cooking utensil ends, the cooking utensil is still in a boiling state due to the preheating of the heating element and the influence of the internal air pressure, and a certain amount of rice soup will still be generated in the inner pot 1 in this state. The rice soup channel 3 is kept open. At this time, there is still some rice soup that has not been discharged in time or water vapor generated by the evaporation of the rice soup in the inner pot 1, ensuring that the two can be completely discharged from the inner pot 1 under the action of air pressure. It is ensured that when the cooking utensil stops running, the excess water in the inner pot 1 has been completely converted into rice soup and enters the rice soup collection box 2, thereby enhancing the use experience of the cooking utensil.

[0082] In some other embodiments, some rice soup that has not been transported to the rice soup collecting box 2 in time may remain in the rice soup channel 3. By keeping the rice soup channel 3 open, the retained rice soup can be further transported to the rice soup collecting box 2 with the help of the steam generated by the residual heat inside the inner pot 1, thereby preventing the rice soup remaining in the rice soup channel 3 from being discharged in time when the cover 6 is turned over and the cooking utensil is opened after the cooking utensil has finished cooking, thereby causing liquid to remain inside the cover 6, which may affect the normal operation of the cooking utensil on the one hand, and complicate the cleaning steps of the cooking utensil on the other hand, which has a certain impact on the use experience of the cooking utensil.
