[0013] In the above technical scheme, the annular cooling cavity is divided into several cooling small cavities by several dividing plates, and the lower parts of two adjacent cooling small cavities are separated, and the upper parts of two adjacent cooling small cavities are connected. In the initial stage, the coolant fills the entire cooling small cavity and then flows to the next cooling small cavity, and circulates through all the cooling small cavities in sequence to achieve uniform adjustment of the pot body temperature.

[0019] In the above technical solution, the lower parts of two adjacent cooling small cavities are partitioned, the upper parts of two adjacent cooling small cavities are connected, and the water outlet is arranged at the top of the upper sealing cover.

[0031] The utility model is further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0032] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, a temperature control component for regulating the temperature of a pot body 1 includes an annular main body 2 for being sleeved on the outside of the pot body 1 and adapted to the pot body 1, an annular cooling cavity 21 is arranged in the annular main body 2, and a partition piece 22 for partitioning the head and tail of the annular cooling cavity 21 is arranged on the annular main body 2, and the head and tail of the annular cooling cavity 21 are arranged on opposite sides of the partition piece 22, and a water inlet 23 and a water outlet 24 are arranged on the annular main body 2, the water inlet 23 is communicated with the head of the annular cooling cavity 21, and the water outlet 24 is communicated with the tail of the annular cooling cavity 21, so that the coolant enters the head of the annular cooling cavity 21 from the water inlet 23, flows along the annular cooling cavity 21 to the tail, and then flows out from the water outlet 24.

[0033] In this embodiment, the annular main body 2 is sleeved on the outside of the pot body 1 and is close to the pot body 1. The coolant is introduced from the water inlet 23. The coolant enters the annular cooling cavity 21 from the water inlet 23 and flows in the annular cooling cavity 21, and then is discharged from the water outlet 24. The coolant flows in the annular cooling cavity 21 and exchanges heat with the pot body 1 to take away the heat of the pot body 1, thereby achieving rapid cooling of the pot body 1. The water inlet 23 and the water outlet 24 are respectively arranged on both sides of the partition 22, so that the input coolant and the output coolant will not affect each other, so that the pot body 1 is cooled more evenly. The annular main body 2 is arranged around the pot body 1, which can better cover the pot body 1, so that the pot body 1 is cooled more evenly. At the same time, the annular main body 2 is an annular structure, which can make the structure of the annular main body 2 more stable.

[0034] Of course, the temperature control component can not only play a cooling role, in other embodiments, hot water can also be introduced into the annular cooling cavity 21 for heating or heat preservation.

[0035] Specifically, the temperature control component can be used externally and independently, or can be used in a built-in kitchen appliance. The cooling liquid is generally water.

[0036] Among them, Figure 4 As shown, the partition member 22 is connected to the middle by the upper end of the first partition plate 272 at the head of the annular cooling cavity 21 and the upper end of the second partition plate 273 at the tail of the annular cooling cavity 21 to form an inverted U shape.

[0037] Specifically, Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the annular body 2 is provided with a heat sink 25, which is arranged on the inner side wall of the annular body 2, and the heat sink 25 is used to be in close contact with the side wall of the pot body 1. By the heat sink 25 being in close contact with the pot body 1, the heat dissipation efficiency can be increased, which is conducive to improving the cooling effect. It should be noted that the inner side wall of the annular body 2 refers to the side wall that is in close contact with the side wall of the pot body 1.

[0038] Specifically, Figure 3 As shown, there are multiple heat sinks 25, and the multiple heat sinks 25 are arranged at intervals along the circumferential direction of the axis of the annular body 2. Providing multiple heat sinks 25 can increase the cooling, heating, and heat preservation effects, wherein the multiple heat sinks 25 are arranged at intervals along the circumferential direction of the axis of the annular body 2, which can make the pot body 1 cool and heat more evenly.

[0039] The heat sink 25 is made of a material with high thermal conductivity, such as a metal material, such as aluminum, copper or other suitable metal materials, or a non-metal material, such as a suitable material, such as ceramic.

[0040] Specifically, in this embodiment, the number of the heat sinks 25 is 6. Of course, in other embodiments, the number of the heat sinks 25 can be 5, 7, 8 or other suitable numbers.

[0041] In addition, the outer wall of the annular body 2 can be made of a material with low thermal conductivity to prevent the user from getting cold hands when holding the temperature control component. It can also prevent the annular body 2 from getting hot when the temperature control component is used for heating or heat preservation. It can also reduce the heat loss when the temperature control component is used for heating or heat preservation, and reduce the heat absorbed by the temperature control component other than the pot body when the temperature control component is used for cooling.

[0042] Specifically, Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the heat sink 25 is provided with a heat sink fin 251 integrally provided with the heat sink 25, and the heat sink fin 251 extends into the annular cooling cavity 21. By extending the heat sink fin 251 into the annular cooling cavity 21, the contact area with the coolant is increased, the heat dissipation efficiency can be improved, and the cooling effect can be increased.

[0043] Specifically, Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, a plurality of partition plates 211 are provided in the annular cooling cavity 21, and the plurality of partition plates 211 are arranged at intervals along the circumferential direction of the axis of the annular main body 2. The plurality of partition plates 211 divide the annular cooling cavity 21 into a plurality of cooling small cavities 212, and the lower parts of two adjacent cooling small cavities 212 are separated, and the upper parts of two adjacent cooling small cavities 212 are connected. The annular cooling cavity 21 is divided into a plurality of cooling small cavities 212 by the plurality of partition plates 211, and the lower parts of two adjacent cooling small cavities 212 are separated, and the upper parts of two adjacent cooling small cavities 212 are connected. In the initial stage, the coolant fills the entire cooling small cavity 212 and then flows to the next cooling small cavity 212, and circulates through all the cooling small cavities 212 in sequence, so as to achieve uniform adjustment of the temperature of the pot body 1.

[0044] Specifically, Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the annular body 2 includes a lower shell 27 and an upper sealing cover 26 detachably connected to the lower shell 27. The lower shell 27 is provided with an accommodating cavity 271 with an upper opening. The upper sealing cover 26 covers the lower shell 27 and closes the opening of the accommodating cavity 271. The annular body 2 includes the lower shell 27 and the upper sealing cover 26. The annular body 2 can be manufactured separately, which is conducive to reducing the manufacturing difficulty of the annular body 2. At the same time, the lower shell 27 and the upper sealing cover 26 are detachably connected. After the temperature control component is used for a long time, the temperature control component can be conveniently cleaned by disassembling the lower shell 27 and the upper sealing cover 26, which is conducive to reducing the difficulty of cleaning the temperature control component.

[0045] Specifically, if Figures 1 to 4As shown, the lower shell 27 and the upper sealing cover 26 are connected by bolts. The upper sealing cover 26 is provided with a connecting hole 261, and the dividing plate 211 is radially extended from the opposite side walls of the accommodating cavity 271 of the lower shell 27 along the annular main body 2 to divide the accommodating cavity 271 into a plurality of cooling small cavities 212. A positioning column 2111 is integrally formed on the dividing plate 211 and extends along the axial direction of the annular main body 2 and corresponds to the connecting hole 261. The positioning column 2111 is provided with a threaded hole 2112, and the bolt passes through the connecting hole 261 to connect with the threaded hole 2112 and fix the upper sealing cover 26. The positioning column 2111 is integrally formed with the dividing plate 211, and the positioning column 2111 can also play the role of a reinforcing rib, which can increase the strength of the dividing plate 211.

[0046] Of course, in other embodiments, the lower shell 27 and the upper sealing cover 26 may also be connected and fixed by suitable means such as snaps, magnets, etc.

[0047] Specifically, Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, a sealing gasket 28 is provided between the upper sealing cover 26 and the lower shell 27. By providing the sealing gasket 28 between the upper sealing cover 26 and the lower shell 27, the sealing performance between the sealing cover and the lower shell 27 can be improved, which is conducive to reducing leakage.

[0048] Specifically, Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the water inlet 23 is arranged at the bottom of the lower shell 27, and the water outlet 24 is arranged at the top of the upper sealing cover 26. The lower parts of two adjacent cooling small cavities 212 are separated, and the upper parts of two adjacent cooling small cavities 212 are connected. The water outlet 24 is arranged at the top of the upper sealing cover 26. The coolant must reach a certain height in the cooling small cavity 212 where the water outlet 24 is located before it can be discharged, so that the cooling small cavity 212 where the water outlet 24 is located can be filled with coolant to ensure the cooling effect.

[0049] Specifically, Figure 2 As shown, the angle of the fan-shaped area formed by the water inlet 23, the axis of the annular body 2 and the water outlet 24 is α, 0°<α≤35°. When α=0°, the head and tail of the annular cooling cavity 21 will overlap, and the head and tail of the annular cooling cavity 21 will interfere with each other; when α is greater than 35°, the head and tail separation distance of the annular cooling cavity 21 is too large, and the heat dissipation area will be too small, affecting the cooling effect; therefore, when 0°<α≤35°, the partition 22 can be set to separate the head and tail of the annular cooling cavity 21 to avoid the mutual intersection between the input coolant and the output coolant, which will affect the heat dissipation effect, and at the same time, it can ensure that there is enough heat dissipation area, which will not affect the cooling effect.

[0050] Specifically, the annular body 2, the partition piece 22 and the heat sink 25 are an integrally formed structure, which reduces the number of parts connected, improves the strength of the temperature control component, and makes installation more convenient. At the same time, the connection gap is reduced, and the sealing of the temperature control component is also better.

[0051] In addition, the annular main body, partition and heat sink are all made of hard materials. Hard materials are not easy to deform, and the structure of the temperature control component is more stable. During installation, the various parts of the temperature control component will not be misaligned with each other, which can facilitate the installation of the temperature control component. The temperature control component can always be close to the outside of the pot body, and there will be no gap between the outside of the pot body due to the deformation of the temperature control component, which is conducive to uniform cooling.

[0052] The hard material may be a suitable hard material such as hard metal and hard plastic.

[0053] Specifically, the partition plate 211 is also an integral structure with the annular body 2, the partition piece 22 and the heat sink 25. Of course, the partition plate 211 can also be made of a hard material.

[0054] like Figure 4 As shown, the coolant flows as follows: the coolant enters the cooling chamber through the water inlet 23. In the initial stage, the coolant fills the first cooling cavity 212 and then flows from the upper part of the cooling cavity 212 to the next adjacent cooling cavity 212. It circulates through all the cooling cavities 212 in sequence to cool the pot body 1, and is finally discharged from the water outlet 24.

[0055] The specific description of the present invention in the above embodiments is only used to further illustrate the present invention and cannot be understood as limiting the scope of protection of the present invention. Technical engineers in this field may make some non-essential improvements and adjustments to the present invention based on the contents of the above-mentioned utility model, which fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
