Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of kitchen appliances, in particular to an inner pot component and a cooking device. Background Art

[0002] Kitchen appliances such as rice cookers and electric cookers are modern cooking utensils that use electric heat to cook food and can steam, boil, stew, simmer, and braise food. They can not only cook food, but also keep it warm. They are clean and hygienic to use, pollution-free, time-saving and labor-saving. They are one of the indispensable tools for modern household chores.

[0003] Electric rice cookers usually need to be equipped with temperature measuring elements such as temperature sensing packages to detect water temperature in order to control the cooking effect. The temperature sensing packages of electric rice cookers in the prior art are generally arranged at the top or bottom of the pot body. The temperature sensing package arranged at the top detects the water temperature by sensing the steam temperature in the pot. The temperature hysteresis is large, and the water temperature detection before boiling when there is no steam is inaccurate. The temperature sensing package arranged at the bottom is usually arranged on the outside of the inner pot, and indirectly measures the water temperature by measuring the temperature at the bottom of the inner pot. The different materials of the inner pot lead to different heat accumulation, which also leads to differences in the temperature measurement effect of the temperature sensing package at the bottom.

[0004] Therefore, the temperature control of the existing rice cooker can only accurately control the boiling point temperature after boiling in the pot, and the temperature at other times is fuzzy control, which cannot accurately control the temperature in the pot, resulting in a lot of margin in the logic design, reducing the cooking effect. Utility Model Content

[0005] In view of this, the utility model provides an inner pot component and a cooking device to solve the problem that the existing electric rice cooker cannot monitor the temperature inside the pot during the entire cooking process.

The first signal connection structures can correspond to the two poles of the thermistor respectively, and when the inner pot is placed in the outer pot, it can be electrically connected to the second signal connection structure on the outer pot to realize power supply to the temperature measuring element. When the inner pot is taken out of the outer pot, it will not be affected by the connecting line. That is, the temperature measuring component and the second signal connection structure on the outer pot are separated, which makes it more convenient to take and put the inner pot.

[0014] In an optional embodiment, the first signal connection structure is a signal connection area provided on a shell wall of the shell;

[0017] And / or, the outer plane of the first signal connection structure and the outer surface of the inner pot wall where it is located are arranged in the same plane, or there is a distance of 0.1mm-3mm between them.

[0018] Beneficial effects: By setting the sum of the areas of the first signal connection structures to be greater than 30% of the area of ​​the shell wall of the shell in which they are located, the area of ​​the first signal connection structure can be set larger, making it easier and more convenient to connect the first signal connection structure with the second signal connection structure on the outer pot, and can also better adapt to production deviations between different structures; by arranging the first signal connection structure in a ring shape, the setting area of ​​the first signal connection structure can be increased, and the reliability of the signal connection is improved; by arranging the first signal connection structure so that the plane where the first signal connection structure is located is in the same plane as the outer surface of the inner pot wall where it is located, the overall appearance of the inner pot assembly is relatively flat, and when the inner pot is placed on the outer pot, it is relatively convenient to connect the first signal connection structure with the second signal connection structure.

[0027] Beneficial effect: Since the cooking device includes the above-mentioned inner pot assembly, it has the same effect as the above-mentioned inner pot assembly, which will not be described in detail here.

[0028] In an optional embodiment, a second signal connection structure is provided on the outer pot, and one end of the second signal connection structure is connected to the temperature measuring component, and the other end is connected to the connecting line.

[0029] Beneficial effect: By arranging a second signal connection structure on the outer pot to cooperate with the temperature measuring component and the connecting line, power is supplied to the temperature measuring component without directly arranging the connecting line on the temperature measuring component, which facilitates the taking and placing of the inner pot.

[0030] In an optional embodiment, the second signal connection structure includes two linking bumps, the first signal connection structure of the temperature measurement component is a signal connection area, one end of the linking bump is suitable for being electrically connected to the signal connection area, and the other end is connected to the connection line.

[0051] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the embodiment of the utility model clearer, the technical solution in the embodiment of the utility model will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiment of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiment is a part of the embodiment of the utility model, not all the embodiments. Based on the embodiment of the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0052] Combine the following Figures 1 to 8 , describing an embodiment of the utility model.

[0053] According to an embodiment of the present invention, on the one hand, an inner pot assembly is provided for a cooking device, the cooking device comprising an outer pot 4 arranged outside the inner pot assembly, the inner pot assembly comprising:

[0054] An inner pot 1, wherein the inner pot wall of the inner pot 1 encloses a cooking space and a mounting hole is provided on the inner pot wall;

[0055] The temperature measuring component 2 is sealed and fixed at the mounting hole. The temperature measuring component 2 includes a temperature measuring element 202. One side of the temperature measuring element 202 is suitable for contacting the food in the cooking space during cooking, and the other side is connected to the power supply through the connecting line 6.

[0056] By placing one side of the temperature measuring element 202 of the temperature measuring component 2 in direct contact with the food in the cooking space during cooking, the temperature measuring element 202 can accurately monitor the temperature of the food in the inner pot 1 regardless of the cooking process, thereby accurately controlling the cooking process and improving the cooking effect.

[0057] like Figure 4 As shown, the temperature measuring component 2 in this embodiment includes a housing 201, and a temperature measuring element 202 is disposed in the housing 201. By configuring the temperature measuring component 2 to include the housing 201, and the temperature measuring element 202 is disposed in the housing 201, the housing 201 can prevent the liquid from directly damaging the temperature measuring element 202 during the cooking process, thereby increasing the service life of the temperature measuring element 202. As a convertible implementation, the temperature measuring element 202 of the temperature measuring component 2, such as a temperature measuring probe, can also be directly inserted into the cooking space.

[0058] There are many specific forms of the temperature measuring element 202. The temperature measuring element 202 in this embodiment is a thermistor. Two first signal connection structures are arranged at intervals on the side of the housing 201 away from the cooking space. One end of the first signal connection structure is electrically connected to the thermistor, and the other end has a connection state of being electrically connected to the second signal connection structure 5 on the outer pot 4, and a power-off state of being separated from the second signal connection structure 5 on the outer pot 4. As a convertible embodiment, the temperature measuring element 202 can also be a thermocouple, which is electrically connected to the power supply through the connecting line 6.

[0059] Since the inner pot 1 needs to be frequently taken out of the cooking device, the temperature measuring element 202 is set as a thermistor and two first signal connection structures are set at intervals on the shell 201. The first signal connection structures can correspond to the two poles of the thermistor respectively, and when the inner pot 1 is placed in the outer pot 4, it can be electrically connected to the second signal connection structure 5 on the outer pot 4 to realize power supply to the temperature measuring element 202. When the inner pot 1 is taken out of the outer pot 4, it will not be affected by the connecting line 6. That is, the temperature measuring component 2 and the second signal connection structure 5 on the outer pot 4 are separated, so that it is more convenient to take and put the inner pot 1.

[0060] Specifically, the thermal element is a thermistor. As a convertible embodiment, the thermal element can also be other thermal elements with the same function.

[0061] like Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, the first signal connection structure in this embodiment is a signal connection area provided on the housing wall of the housing 201. Specifically, the first signal connection structure is a signal connection area provided on the outer side of the bottom wall of the housing 201, and specifically includes a first signal connection area 203 provided on the outer side and a second signal connection area 204 provided in the middle.

[0062] Since the inner pot 1 is arranged inside the outer pot 4, by arranging the first signal connection structure outside the bottom wall of the housing 201, it is convenient to electrically connect with the second signal connection structure 5 on the outer pot 4. As a convertible embodiment, the first signal connection structure can also be arranged outside the side wall of the housing 201.

[0063] like Figure 3 As shown, the first signal connection structure in this embodiment is arranged in an annular shape, that is, the first signal connection area 203 and the second signal connection area 204 are both annular areas. By arranging the first signal connection structure in an annular shape, the arrangement area of ​​the first signal connection structure can be increased, and no matter where the second signal connection structure 5 on the outer pot 4 is arranged in the annular direction, and at what angle the second signal connection structure 5 is with the first signal connection structure, it can achieve effective connection with the first signal connection structure, thereby improving the reliability of the signal connection.

[0064] The sum of the areas of the two first signal connection structures is greater than 30% of the area of ​​the bottom wall of the shell 201 where they are located. By setting the sum of the areas of the first signal connection structures to be greater than 30% of the area of ​​the bottom wall of the shell 201 where they are located, the area of ​​the first signal connection structure can be set larger, making it easier and more convenient to connect the first signal connection structure with the second signal connection structure 5 on the outer pot 4, and also being more adaptable to production deviations between different structures. As a convertible embodiment, it is also possible that the sum of the areas of the first signal connection structures is greater than 40% of the area of ​​the bottom wall of the shell 201 where they are located, or that the sum of the areas of the first signal connection structures occupies a larger proportion of the bottom wall, and no specific restrictions are made here.

[0065] like Figure 4 As shown, the plane where the first signal connection structure in this embodiment is located is arranged in the same plane as the outer surface of the inner pot wall where it is located, so that the overall appearance of the inner pot assembly is relatively flat, and when the inner pot 1 is placed on the outer pot 4, it is more convenient to connect the first signal connection structure and the second signal connection structure 5.

[0066] Of course, in other embodiments, the plane where the first signal connection structure is located may slightly protrude from the outer surface of the inner pot wall by 0.1mm-3mm, which makes it easier to connect the first signal connection structure with the second signal connection structure 5 of the outer pot 4; or, in other embodiments, the plane where the first signal connection structure is located may be slightly recessed from the outer surface of the inner pot wall by 0.1mm-3mm, which can make the overall appearance of the inner pot assembly smoother.

[0067] The housing 201 in this embodiment is made of metal and has good heat conduction effect.

[0068] Since the temperature measuring component 2 needs to be in direct contact with the food in the inner pot 1, the housing 201 in this embodiment is made of stainless steel to ensure the safety of food cooking. As a convertible implementation, the housing 201 can also be made of aluminum alloy, and the surface of the aluminum alloy can also be covered with a coating, such as Teflon, to ensure the safety of food cooking. Of course, in some embodiments, the coating may not be provided, and no excessive restrictions are made here. As a convertible implementation, the housing 201 can also be made of other metal materials.

[0069] In order to achieve a better electrical connection effect, the first signal connection structure can be made of copper. As a convertible implementation, the first signal connection structure and the housing wall where it is located can also be made of the same material, and the first signal connection structure and the housing wall where it is located are integral.

[0070] like Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, the temperature measuring component 2 in this embodiment is arranged on the bottom wall of the inner pot 1. By arranging the temperature measuring component 2 on the bottom wall of the inner pot 1, no matter how much food is set in the inner pot 1, the temperature measuring element 202 can accurately monitor the temperature of the food, thereby improving the detection accuracy. As a convertible implementation, the temperature measuring component 2 can also be arranged on the side wall of the inner pot 1, but it should also be arranged at a position where the side wall is close to the bottom wall to prevent the temperature measuring component 2 from being set too high, but there is too little food in the inner pot 1, and the temperature measuring component 2 cannot directly contact the food, affecting the temperature measurement accuracy.

[0071] like Figure 2 As shown, the mounting hole on the inner pot wall in this embodiment is arranged on the bottom wall of the inner pot 1, the shell 201 of the temperature measuring component 2 is sealed and fixedly connected to the mounting hole, the thermistor is arranged at the top inside the shell 201, close to the cooking space, and two signal connection areas are arranged on the outer side of the bottom wall of the shell 201, and the thermistor is electrically connected to the two signal connection areas through lines respectively.

[0072] like Figure 1As shown, a sealing device is provided between the temperature measuring component 2 and the mounting hole in this embodiment. Specifically, the sealing device is a rubber ring 3, which is provided in an annular structure. By providing a sealing device between the temperature measuring component 2 and the mounting hole, the sealing effect between the temperature measuring component 2 and the inner pot 1 can be ensured to prevent leakage during the cooking process. As a convertible embodiment, the sealing device can also be an elastic ring of other materials, such as a silicone ring.

[0073] The temperature measuring component 2 in this embodiment is sealed and fixedly connected to the inner pot 1. When the user uses it, the inner pot component is an integral structure. The temperature measuring component 2 and the inner pot 1 are integrated and cannot be disassembled.

[0074] In order to ensure the fixed connection effect, the temperature measuring component 2 and the inner pot 1 in this embodiment are fixedly connected by welding.

[0075] The power source in this embodiment is the control mainboard of the cooking device. By setting the power source as the control mainboard of the cooking device, the temperature measuring component 2 does not need an external power source, and is more convenient to use. As a convertible implementation, the power source can also be an external power source.

[0076] According to an embodiment of the present invention, on the other hand, a cooking device is provided, comprising:

[0077] Outer pot 4;

[0078] The inner pot assembly is arranged inside the outer pot 4 .

[0079] In this embodiment, the outer pot 4 is provided with a second signal connection structure 5, one end of the second signal connection structure 5 is connected to the temperature measuring component 2, and the other end is connected to the connection line 6. By providing the second signal connection structure 5 on the outer pot 4 in cooperation with the temperature measuring component 2 and the connection line 6, the temperature measuring component 2 is powered, without directly providing the connection line 6 on the temperature measuring component 2, so as to facilitate the taking and placing of the inner pot 1. As a convertible embodiment, it is also possible that the second signal connection structure 5 is not provided on the outer pot 4, but the connection line 6 is directly provided on the temperature measuring component 2, but it will affect the taking and placing of the inner pot 1.

[0080] like Figure 5 As shown, the second signal connection structure 5 includes two linking bumps, the first signal connection structure of the temperature measuring component 2 is a signal connection area, one end of the linking bump is suitable for being electrically connected to the signal connection area, and the other end is connected to the connection line 6.

[0081] By setting the second signal connection structure 5 to include two linking bumps, and the first signal connection structure to include two signal connection areas, the electrical connection of the temperature measurement component 2 can be achieved by one-to-one contact between the linking bumps and the signal connection areas, and the structure is relatively simple.

[0082] As a convertible implementation, the second signal connection structure 5 may be a plug connector, which is electrically connected to the signal connection area by plugging. The linking protrusion in this embodiment is movably arranged relative to the outer pot 4. By movably arranging the linking protrusion relative to the outer pot 4, the adaptability of the linking protrusion is strong, so that different gaps may exist when the inner pot assembly of different sizes is assembled with the outer pot 4, but the movable setting of the linking protrusion can make up for the difference in different gaps, greatly improving the adaptability of the outer pot 4 and the inner pot assembly. As a convertible implementation, the linking protrusion may be fixedly arranged relative to the outer pot 4. In this case, the top position of the linking protrusion is required to be in a position where the top of the linking protrusion can just contact and connect with the signal connection area at the bottom of the inner pot 1 when the inner pot assembly is placed in the outer pot 4.

[0083] like Figure 5 As shown, the linking protrusion in this embodiment is telescopically arranged relative to the outer pot 4. As a convertible implementation, it can also be that if the linking protrusion and the signal connection area need to be arranged in contact with each other, such as when the signal connection area is arranged on the side of the shell 201, the linking protrusion can be telescopically arranged relative to the outer pot 4; or, the linking protrusion is telescopically arranged relative to the outer pot 4 in other directions, and no excessive restrictions are made here.

[0084] Specifically, Figure 5 As shown, the cooking device in this embodiment includes: a bracket 702, the bracket 702 is arranged in a one-to-one correspondence with the linking protrusion, the bracket 702 is provided with an active cavity, and the linking protrusion is movably arranged in the active cavity; an elastic member, one end of which is fixedly connected to the bracket 702, and the other end is fixedly connected to the linking protrusion. As a convertible implementation, it is also possible that the second signal connection structure 5 adopts other structural forms to realize the movement of the linking protrusion, that is, the upward and downward extension, such as other forms of lifting mechanisms in the prior art, as long as the upward and downward extension of the linking protrusion can be realized, and no excessive restrictions are made here.

[0085] Specifically, the elastic member is a spring 703. In order to facilitate the connection of the spring 703, a flange can be provided on the linking protrusion as a limiting structure, so that one end of the spring 703 is fixedly connected to the bracket 702, and the other end is fixedly connected to the flange. As a convertible embodiment, it is also possible that the flange is not provided on the linking protrusion, and the other end of the spring 703 is directly fixed to the outside of the linking protrusion.

[0086] Among them, in the natural state, the end of the link protrusion close to the inner pot 1 protrudes from the top of the bracket 702 by 0.5mm-5mm. The natural state here refers to the state when the inner pot 1 is not placed on the outer pot 4. Specifically, in the natural state, the end of the link protrusion close to the inner pot 1 protrudes from the top of the bracket 702 by 1mm. By protruding the link protrusion from the top of the bracket 702 by 0.5mm-5mm at one end of the inner pot 1, the gap difference that the link protrusion can adapt to is larger. As a convertible embodiment, it is also possible that, in the natural state, the end of the link protrusion close to the inner pot 1 protrudes from the top of the bracket 702 to other specific values, and no excessive restrictions are made here.

[0087] In order to conveniently set the second signal connection structure 5 on the outer pot 4, as shown in FIG. Figure 5 As shown, a mounting hole is provided on the outer pot 4, and the cooking device includes a support structure 7, and the support structure 7 includes a support body 701, and the support body 701 is fixedly connected to the mounting hole. The support body 701 can also be sealed and fixed to the mounting hole. The support body 701 surrounds a receiving cavity, and a bracket 702 and a spring 703 are provided in the receiving cavity. Two through holes are provided at the top of the support body 701, and a connecting convex point is movably provided in each through hole. As a convertible embodiment, it is also possible that the support body 701 is not provided, but the two brackets 702 are respectively fixedly connected to the outer pot 4. In this case, two mounting holes can be provided on the outer pot 4, and a bracket 702 is fixedly connected in each mounting hole.

[0088] In some embodiments, the support structure 7 may be a part of the outer pot 4. In some embodiments, the support structure 7 may also be a separately provided support structure for supporting and fixing the linking protrusions. No excessive restrictions are imposed here.

[0089] like Figure 5 As shown, the link bumps in this embodiment specifically include a first link bump 501 and a second link bump 502 which are arranged at intervals, wherein the first link bump 501 is arranged close to the outer side of the second signal connection structure 5, and is suitable for being electrically connected to the first signal connection area 203, and the second link bump 502 is arranged in the middle of the second signal connection structure 5, and is suitable for being electrically connected to the second signal connection area 204.

[0090] The first signal connection area 203 and the second signal connection area 204 are independent of each other and have no overlapping area, and the second signal connection area 204 covers the center point of the bottom wall of the inner pot 1. Similarly, the first linking protrusion 501 and the second linking protrusion 502 are independent of each other.

[0091] When the inner pot 1 is placed on the outer pot 4, the first linking protrusion 501 and the second linking protrusion 502 will move downward due to the pressure of the inner pot 1. When the inner pot 1 is not placed on the outer pot 4, the first linking protrusion 501 and the second linking protrusion 502 will automatically rebound to a natural state under the elastic force of the spring 504.

[0092] When the pot body assembly in this embodiment is actually used, no matter at what angle the inner pot 1 is placed in the outer pot 4, the first linking bump 501 and the second linking bump 502 can respectively contact the first signal connection area 203 and the second signal connection area 204 to realize the transmission of electrical signals, and the first linking bump 501 and the second linking bump 502 are compressed downward by at least 1 mm to ensure stable connection between the linking bumps and the signal connection areas.

[0093] The pot body assembly in this embodiment integrates the temperature measuring assembly 2 with the inner pot 1, so that the temperature measuring assembly 2 can directly contact the cooking ingredients in the pot, thereby accurately measuring the temperature in the pot. At the same time, a ring-shaped signal connection area is set at the bottom of the temperature measuring assembly 2, and a retractable connection convex point is set on the outer pot 4 to achieve reliable signal connection at any angle, thereby improving the reliability of temperature measurement.

[0094] Specifically, the cooking device in the present embodiment is an electric rice cooker. As a convertible embodiment, it can also be that the cooking device is an electric rice cooker, or other cooking devices with an inner pot and an outer pot.

[0095] The electric rice cooker in this embodiment, by extending the temperature measuring element 202 of the temperature measuring component 2 into the cooking space of the inner pot 1, can accurately monitor the temperature of food during the cooking process, thereby achieving accurate temperature control of the cooking process, improving the cooking effect, meeting the high demands of users, and greatly improving the user experience.

[0096] Although the embodiments of the present invention are described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, those skilled in the art may make various modifications and variations without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention, and such modifications and variations are all within the scope defined by the appended claims.
