Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of electric rice cookers, more specifically to an air heat transfer electric rice cooker. Background Art
[0002] Traditional electric rice cookers usually use a single heating method during the heating process, such as setting a heating plate or heating tube at the bottom to heat the inner pot. This method has some problems. First, the single heating area leads to uneven heating, which may cause the food to be cooked unevenly or burnt; if multiple heating elements are set on the outside of the inner pot to achieve uniform heating of the inner pot, it will increase production costs and energy consumption. Secondly, due to the limitations of the heating method, the rice cooker may take a long time to fully cook the food, which will affect the user experience and increase energy consumption. In addition, traditional electric rice cookers may have poor heat dissipation when cooking, and the internal components that are affected by high temperatures for a long time are likely to have a shortened lifespan. Traditional electric rice cookers may also have inefficiencies in the cooling process after cooking, causing users to spend a long time waiting for the rice to cool down before eating, affecting the user experience. Utility Model Content

In other embodiments, the heating pipe 140 can be fixed to the outer side of the heat preservation cover 110. It is arranged below the wind guide cover 120; a reflective cover 150 is provided at the bottom of the heat preservation cover 110, and the reflective cover 150 is a basin-shaped structure, connected to the heat preservation cover 110 at the top, and an exhaust cover 160 is provided at the bottom of the reflective cover 150; a motor cover 170 is provided at the bottom of the outer shell 100 and is connected to the exhaust cover 160, and a motor 171 is fixed in the motor cover 170, and the rotating shaft of the motor 171 extends upward and is connected to the upper wind blades 172 and the lower wind blades 173. When the motor 171 is working, it drives the upper wind blades 172 and the lower wind blades 173 to rotate at the same time, the upper wind blades 172 are in the reflective cover 150, and the lower wind blades 173 are in the exhaust cover 160.
[0025] Furthermore, a first cavity 101 for air flow is formed between the sides of the heat preservation cover 110 and the air guide cover 120, and a second cavity 102 for air flow is formed between the liner 130 and the air guide cover 120; the bottom of the heat preservation cover 110 is provided with a plurality of first ventilation holes 151 and second ventilation holes 152 connected to the reflective cover 150, and the bottom of the air guide cover 120 is provided with a plurality of third ventilation holes 121 corresponding to the second ventilation holes 152; the first ventilation holes 151 allow the first cavity 101 and the reflective cover 150 to be connected. The air in the cover 150 can pass through each other, and the second ventilation hole 152 cooperates with the third ventilation hole 121 to allow the air in the second cavity 102 and the reflective cover 150 to circulate up and down; a plurality of air guide grooves 122 are provided on the side of the air guide cover 120, and the air guide grooves 122 are integrally formed on the air guide cover 120.

[0027] Furthermore, a cover body 123 covering the third ventilation hole 121 is provided above the bottom surface of the air guide cover 120, and the cover body 123 is located in the second cavity 102.

The upper temperature sensor 310 can detect the temperature in the inner pot 130. Multiple temperature-sensing components cooperate with the heating tube 140 and air flow to achieve multi-point temperature control, making the temperature control of the rice cooker more accurate and safer to use.
[0028] Furthermore, the side of the exhaust hood 160 is provided with a plurality of through holes 161 that are connected to the internal space of the shell 100, the bottom surface of the shell 100 is located on the outside of the motor cover 170 and is provided with a plurality of exhaust holes 180 that are connected to the inside and outside, and the bottom surface of the shell 100 is located on the inside of the motor cover 170 and is provided with a plurality of air inlet holes 190 that are connected to the inside and outside; the bottom of the shell 100 is provided with a plurality of supporting feet 103, which support the shell 100 so that the rice cooker as a whole can be stable.

When the lower fan blades 173 rotate, the air in the exhaust hood 160 and the motor cover 170 can be discharged through the through holes 161, and the exhausted air is located in the shell 100 and can continue to be discharged outside the shell 100 through the exhaust holes 180, while the air outside the shell 100 can enter the motor cover 170 through the air inlet holes 190.
[0029] The specific working principle of this utility model is:
[0030] like Figure 4 As shown, Figure 4 The middle arrow indicates the direction of air flow. When the rice cooker is started to cook, the heating tube 140 and the motor 170 start working at the same time. The upper fan blade 172 rotates, and the air is blown outward. The air passes through the side wall of the reflector 150 and is blown upward. After the air enters the first cavity 101, it is heated by the heating tube 170. The flowing air can take away part of the heat of the heating tube 140. After the hot air reaches the first cavity 101, it enters the second cavity 102 through the air guide groove 122. The air entering the second cavity 102 is blown downward. At this time, the hot air and the heating tube 170 are simultaneously The inner pot 130 is heated; due to the rotation of the first fan blade 172, the air reaching the bottom of the second cavity 102 will be sucked downward, and the air passes through the fourth ventilation hole 124, the third ventilation hole 121, and the second ventilation hole 152 in sequence and then enters the reflective cover 150. The air circulates in this way, continuously heating the inner pot 130 as a whole, thereby achieving overall heating of the inner pot 130, making the cooked rice more thoroughly and more evenly cooked, improving the cooking effect, and making the rice taste better. The structure of the internal circulation of heated air can accelerate the heating speed of the inner pot 130, making the rice cooker more energy-saving and efficient.
[0031] The rice cooker can dissipate heat and cool down through the downwind blades 173. When the rice cooker is started to cook, the heating tube 140 and the motor 170 work at the same time. The downwind blades 173 on the motor 170 rotate, and the air in the exhaust cover 160 and the motor cover 170 is discharged into the space inside the shell 100 through the through holes 161. The air is then discharged to the outside of the shell 100 through the exhaust holes 180. Since the motor cover 170 separates the exhaust holes 180 and the air inlet holes 190, when the downwind blades 173 rotate, the cold air from the bottom of the shell 100 is sucked into the motor cover 170 through the air inlet holes 190. This cycle is repeated to achieve the heat dissipation and cooling function. When the rice is cooked, the heating tube 140 can be controlled to stop working, and the motor 170 continues to work. The air is circulated and blown to cool the inner pot 130. When the inner pot 130 is cooled quickly, an oil film is formed between the inner pot 130 and the rice, achieving a non-stick effect and reducing the time the user has to wait for the rice to cool down before eating.
