[0044] Please refer to Figures 1 to 2 , an embodiment of the present utility model provides a cooking device 100. The cooking device 100 includes a pot lid assembly 10 and a pot body 20. The pot lid assembly 10 includes a pot lid 11 and a condensing member 12. The pot lid 11 is provided with a receiving cavity 111, and the condensing member 12 is located in the receiving cavity 111. The pot body 20 is connected to the pot lid 11, and a cooking cavity 21 is formed in the pot body 20. The pot lid 11 covers the cooking cavity 21. The condensing member 12 is configured to cool the water vapor in the cooking cavity 21 to form liquid water.

[0045] For the above cooking device 100, by arranging the condensing member 12 in the receiving cavity 111 of the pot lid assembly 10 to form a cooling capacity to cool the water vapor generated during the cooking process to form liquid water, the pressureless cooking process of the pressure cooking device 100 is realized, thereby ensuring the cooking taste of the ingredients under different cooking powers of the cooking device 100.

[0046] Specifically, in one embodiment, the cooking device 100 can be a pressure cooker or other pressure cooking utensils, which are not specifically limited herein. In addition, the liquid water formed by cooling the water vapor generated during the cooking process can also be replenished back into the cooking cavity 21.

[0047] In one embodiment, the shape of the pot lid assembly 10 matches the shape of the pot body 20, and the pot lid assembly 10 is arranged above the pot body 20 and can be covered and connected with each other, so that the cooking device 100 forms a relatively airtight cooking environment.

[0048] In one embodiment, the shape of the pot body 20 includes but is not limited to an earthenware shape, making the cooking device 100 strong, stable, simple and beautiful.

[0049] In one embodiment, the pot lid 11 is provided with a receiving cavity 111 to ensure the stable placement of the condensing member 12, thereby ensuring that the condensing member 12 normally provides cooling capacity.

[0050] It can be understood that the condensing element 12 is located in the accommodating cavity 111, and the accommodating cavity 111 is located above the pot body 20, which can be used to generate cold to cool the water vapor generated by boiling and liquefy it to form water, so that the cooking cavity 21 is not pressurized, thereby improving the cooking taste of the ingredients.

[0051] That is, the accommodating cavity 111 may be a cold storage space, and the accommodating cavity 111 is located above the cooking cavity 21 and may be used to cool and liquefy the boiling and rising water vapor in the cooking cavity 21 so that the cooking device 100 maintains a pressure-free cooking environment.

[0052] In one embodiment, the condensing element 12 may include a fan, may include a water box, may include a fan and a water box, or other cooling supply devices, which are not specifically limited herein.

[0053] It can be understood that the temperature of the water vapor in the cooking cavity 21 is relatively high, so that the water vapor can easily liquefy to form liquid water when it encounters the cooling medium (such as water or air, etc.) in the accommodating cavity 111, thereby ensuring that the cooking device 100 achieves a pressureless cooking process in a pressurized environment.

[0054] In one embodiment, the cooking device 100 may be provided with an exhaust hole (not shown) that can be used to assist the cooking cavity 21 in forming a pressure-free cooking environment.

[0055] Since the cooking device 100 realizes a pressure-free environment during the cooking process through the condensing element 12, the size of the exhaust hole (not shown) is not specifically limited, and it is only necessary to ensure the pressure-free cooking process of the pressurized cooking device 100.

[0056] See also Figure 1 In some embodiments, the pot cover 11 includes an inner cover 112 serving as a condensation sheet, the inner cover 112 faces the cooking cavity 21 , and the condensation element 12 includes a fan 121 , which is located on a side of the inner cover 112 facing away from the cooking cavity 21 .

[0057] In this way, the condensing element 12 provides flowing air for the condensing sheet, which speeds up the cooling speed of the condensing sheet for water vapor, thereby ensuring the condensation effect and the pressure-free cooking environment.

[0058] Specifically, in one embodiment, Figure 1 As shown, the inner cover 112 is disposed between the accommodating cavity 111 and the cooking cavity 21, so that the accommodating cavity 111 and the cooking cavity 21 are separated, so that the water vapor is cooled and liquefied to form liquid water by contacting the inner cover 112, and flows back into the cooking cavity 21, thereby reducing the air pressure in the cooking cavity 21 to form a pressure-free cooking environment.

[0059] In one embodiment, the inner cover 112 serves as a condenser sheet and may be composed of a condenser tube and heat dissipation fins to achieve heat transfer by heat conduction.

[0060] That is, the condensation sheet utilizes the characteristic of heat conduction to quickly absorb the heat of the water vapor in the cooking cavity 21 and transfer the heat to one side of the inner cover 112 connecting the accommodating cavity 111, so that the water vapor in the cooking cavity 21 is cooled and liquefied to form water, thereby ensuring that the cooking cavity 21 is in a pressureless cooking environment.

[0061] In one embodiment, the fan 121 is located on the side of the inner cover 112 facing away from the cooking cavity 21 and is disposed opposite to the inner cover 112, and can quickly remove the heat of the inner cover 112 by means of air cooling, thereby improving the heat dissipation efficiency of the inner cover 112 and the cooling efficiency of the water vapor, and further ensuring the condensation effect of the water vapor and providing a pressureless cooking environment.

[0062] In some embodiments, a plurality of protrusions 211 are provided on the side surface of the condensation sheet facing away from the cooking cavity 21.

[0063] In this way, the heat exchange area between the condensation sheet and the flowing air is increased, thereby improving the cooling effect of the water vapor, and further ensuring and maintaining the pressureless environment of the cooking device 100.

[0064] Specifically, in one embodiment, as Figure 1 shown, a plurality of protrusions 211 are provided on the surface of the condensation sheet facing away from the cooking cavity 21 to increase the contact area between the inner cover 112 and the air in the accommodating cavity 111, thereby improving the heat exchange speed of the inner cover 112.

[0065] In one embodiment, the plurality of protrusions 211 may be arranged in an array along the inner cover 112 uniformly, and the plurality of protrusions 211 are disposed opposite to the fan 121, so that the flowing air blows towards the plurality of protrusions 211, thereby further accelerating the heat exchange speed of the inner cover 112, improving the cooling efficiency of the water vapor, and further ensuring the pressureless cooking environment of the cooking cavity 21.

[0066] In other embodiments, the plurality of protrusions 211 may also be arranged irregularly along the inner cover 112 to improve the heat exchange speed of the inner cover 112, and no specific limitation is made here.

[0067] In one embodiment, the plurality of protrusions 211 may be heat dissipation fins or other structures for improving the heat dissipation efficiency, and no specific limitation is made here.

[0068] In some embodiments, the pot lid 11 is provided with an opening (not shown in the figure), and the opening (not shown in the figure) communicates with the accommodating cavity 111.

[0069] In this way, it is ensured that the accommodating cavity 111 communicates with the outside, thereby accelerating the air flow to improve the heat dissipation efficiency, and further improving the cooling efficiency of the water vapor.

[0070] Specifically, in one embodiment, as Figure 1As shown, the pot lid 11 is provided with an opening (not shown in the figure) so that the accommodating cavity 111 communicates with the outside, enabling air to circulate and exchange heat between the accommodating cavity 111 and the outside, thereby improving the heat dissipation efficiency of the inner lid 112.

[0071] It can be understood that the opening (not shown in the figure) connects the accommodating cavity 111 and the outside, allowing the fan 121 located in the accommodating cavity 111 to work for heat dissipation, facilitating the formation of flowing air, thereby improving the heat dissipation efficiency of the inner lid 112 and further improving the cooling efficiency of the water vapor in the cooking cavity 21.

[0072] Please refer to Figures 2 to 4 , in some embodiments, the condensing member 12 includes a water box 124. The water box 124 includes a box body 122 and a sealing member 123. The box body 122 is provided with water spraying holes 1221 facing the cooking cavity 21. The sealing member 123 is movable and is configured to open or close the water spraying holes 1221.

[0073] In this way, it is possible to control the water spraying holes 1221 to spray water towards the cooking cavity 21 in a timely manner by spraying to cool the water vapor, thereby improving the cooling effect of the water vapor.

[0074] Specifically, in one embodiment, as Figure 2 and Figure 4 shown, Figure 2 is a cross-sectional view of the condensing member 12 in a non-working state (without spraying), Figure 4 is a cross-sectional view of the condensing member 12 in a working state (spraying). The box body 122 is provided with water spraying holes 1221 facing the cooking cavity 21, enabling the accommodating cavity 111 and the cooking cavity 21 to be movably connected, so that the high-temperature water vapor is mixed with the water mist generated by the spraying method to cool and liquefy to form liquid water, and then flows back into the cooking cavity 21, thereby reducing the air pressure in the cooking cavity 21 to form a pressureless cooking environment.

[0075] In one embodiment, the condensing member 12 can be a "convex" - shaped water box 124 and is inverted and arranged in the accommodating cavity 111, which can be used to store liquid water to cool the high-temperature water vapor by spraying, thereby ensuring that the cooking cavity 21 is in a pressureless cooking environment.

[0076] In one embodiment, the sealing member 123 can be a valve or a plug to actively control the opening or closing of the water spraying holes 1221.

[0077] Specifically, before the water in the cooking cavity 21 is heated to boiling, the sealing member 123 can be moved downward to disconnect the accommodating cavity 111 from the cooking cavity 21, so that the water spraying holes 1221 do not spray, to ensure the cooking speed of the ingredients.

[0078] When water vapor is generated in the cooking cavity 21, the seal 123 can move upward to connect the accommodating cavity 111 with the cooking cavity 21, so that water sprays water mist through the water spray holes 1221 to cool and liquefy the high-temperature water vapor, thereby ensuring that the cooking cavity 21 is in a pressureless cooking environment.

[0079] In one embodiment, as Figure 3 shown, there can be a plurality of water spray holes 1221 provided on the box body 122 to improve the spraying effect, thereby improving the cooling effect of the water vapor.

[0080] In some embodiments, the seal 123 is located inside the box body 122.

[0081] In this way, the occupied space of the cooking cavity 21 can be reduced, and the operability is good and the practicability is high.

[0082] Specifically, in one embodiment, as Figure 2 shown, the seal 123 is located inside the box body 122 and can form a mating connection structure with the inverted "convex" water box 124 to control the opening or closing of the water spray holes 1221, thereby ensuring that the cooking cavity 21 is in a pressureless cooking environment.

[0083] In one embodiment, the seal 123 is located inside the box body 122, which can reduce the occupation of the cooking space by the seal 123 and ensure the stability of the connection between the seal 123 and the box body 122, thereby ensuring the cooking capacity and safety of the cooking cavity 21.

[0084] It can be understood that during the cooking process, the temperature of the cooking cavity 21 is relatively high, so that the seal 123 is located inside the box body 122, which has good operability and high practicability, and can also ensure the safety and hygiene of food cooking.

[0085] In some embodiments, the pot lid 11 includes an inner lid 112 facing the cooking cavity 21. The inner lid 112 is provided with a through hole 1121. The box body 122 includes a protruding portion 1222. The protruding portion 1222 passes through the through hole 1121, and water spray holes 1221 are formed at the bottom of the protruding portion 1222.

[0086] In this way, by utilizing the gravitational potential energy of water, all the water in the box body 122 can be ejected to cool the water vapor, thereby improving the spraying efficiency and cooling efficiency of water.

[0087] Specifically, in one embodiment, as Figure 2 and Figure 3 shown, the through hole 1121 is located inside the accommodating cavity 111 and at the position where the box body 122 protrudes toward the inner lid 112, so that water converges on the protruding portion 1222 through the through hole 1121 under the action of gravity, and then sprays to the cooking cavity 21 through the water spray holes 1221, thereby ensuring the drainage volume of the box body 122 and the spraying speed of water.

[0088] It can be understood that the protruding part 1222 protrudes towards the cooking cavity 21, so that a through hole 1121 is formed in the accommodating cavity 111, thereby improving the spraying efficiency of water and the cooling efficiency of water vapor, and further ensuring that the sprayed water and the liquid water formed by the cooling of water vapor are both replenished back into the cooking cavity 21.

[0089] In one embodiment, a water spraying hole 1221 is formed at the bottom of the protruding part 1222 to ensure that the water in the box body 122 enters the cooking cavity 21 to cool and liquefy the water vapor, thereby ensuring that the cooking cavity 21 is in a pressureless cooking environment.

[0090] In one embodiment, the through hole 1121 is movably connected to the seal 123 to control the opening or closing of the water spraying in the box body 122.

[0091] That is to say, the through hole 1121 and the water spraying hole 1221 are communicated. When the connection between the through hole 1121 and the seal 123 is released, the through hole 1121 is opened, and water can be sprayed into the cooking cavity 21 through the through hole 1121 and the water spraying hole 1221, thereby improving the cooling efficiency of water vapor.

[0092] When the through hole 1121 is connected to the seal 123, the through hole 1121 is closed so that the water spraying hole 1221 does not spray water, thereby ensuring the cooking efficiency.

[0093] Please refer to Figure 1 、 Figure 4 and Figure 5 , in some embodiments, the cooking device 100 includes a heating element 30, and the heating element 30 is arranged at the bottom of the cooking cavity 21 and located inside the pot body 20. During the process that the condensing element 12 cools the water vapor in the cooking cavity 21 to form liquid water, there is at least a period of time when the heating element 30 and the condensing element 12 work simultaneously.

[0094] In this way, it is ensured that the heating continues when the water vapor is cooled to liquid water, so that the heating element 30 forms a segmented heating process, thereby ensuring the maturity and cooking taste of the ingredients under the pressureless cooking condition.

[0095] Specifically, in one embodiment, as Figure 1 and Figure 4 shown, the heating element 30 is arranged on both sides of the bottom of the cooking cavity 21 so that the cooking cavity 21 is heated evenly, thereby ensuring the heating uniformity of the cooking device 100.

[0096] In one embodiment, as Figure 5 shown, the gray diagonal part can represent the working state of the heating element 30, and the blank square part represents the non-working state of the heating element 30.

[0097] Similarly, as Figure 5As shown, the gray diagonal part can indicate that the condensing member 12 is in the working state, and the blank square part indicates that the condensing member 12 is in the non-working state.

[0098] In one embodiment, as Figure 5 shown, during the process of the condensing member 12 cooling the water vapor in the cooking cavity 21 to form liquid water, it can be understood that the water in the cooking cavity 21 is in the boiling stage, so that the condensing member 12 starts to work to maintain a pressureless cooking environment, thereby ensuring the cooking taste of the ingredients.

[0099] At the same time, when the water in the cooking cavity 21 is in the boiling stage, the heating member 30 can work intermittently to keep the water in the cooking cavity 21 in a basically boiling state, thereby ensuring the maturity of the ingredients.

[0100] In summary, when the water in the cooking cavity 21 is in the boiling stage, the heating member 30 can work intermittently, and the condensing member 12 maintains a pressureless cooking environment by continuous working, so as to ensure the maturity and cooking taste of the ingredients in the pressureless cooking environment of the pressure cooking device 100.

[0101] That is to say, the heating member 30 and the condensing member 12 have at least a period of time working simultaneously to ensure that the cooking cavity 21 is in a pressureless cooking environment.

[0102] In one embodiment, during the spray condensation process, the sealing position of the sealing member 12 can be changed separately to adjust the spray amount, or the heating power of the heating member 30 can be adjusted separately, or the spray amount and the heating power can be adjusted simultaneously to ensure that the cooking cavity 21 is in a pressureless cooking environment under continuous spraying.

[0103] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , in some embodiments, the cooking device 100 includes a detection device 40. The detection device 40 is arranged on the pot lid 11 and at least partially located in the cooking cavity 21. The detection device 40 is configured to determine that the cooking device 100 is in the boiling and pressure rising stage.

[0104] In this way, to ensure that the cooking device 100 is in a pressureless cooking environment, the timeliness is high.

[0105] Specifically, in one embodiment, the detection device 40 can be a sensor, which can be used to detect the temperature data or pressure data in the cooking cavity 21.

[0106] For example, the detection device 40 can be a temperature sensor. When the temperature of the cooking cavity 21 is detected to reach 100 °C, it is determined that the cooking device 100 is in the boiling and pressure rising stage, so as to maintain a pressureless cooking environment through the condensing member 12.

[0107] The detection device 40 can also be a pressure sensor. When it detects that the pressure in the cooking cavity 21 reaches 100 KPa, it determines that the cooking device 100 is in the boiling pressure - rising stage, so as to maintain a pressure - free cooking environment through the condensing member 12.

[0108] In one embodiment, the detection device 40 can be arranged on the inner lid 112 and at least partially located in the cooking cavity 21, so as to ensure that the detection device 40 can detect the data in the cooking cavity 21 in real - time, thus ensuring the timeliness and accuracy of the data, and further improving the working efficiency of the condensing member 12, saving energy and protecting the environment.

[0109] It can be understood that the detection device 40 can be partially located in the cooking cavity 21 or entirely located in the cooking cavity 21 to ensure the accuracy of data detection, and no specific limitation is made here.

[0110] Please refer to Figure 1 , in some embodiments, the condensing member 12 includes a fan 121. When the cooking device 100 is in the boiling pressure - rising stage, the fan 121 is configured to be turned on.

[0111] In this way, the flow air speed can be increased to continuously cool the water vapor, so as to provide a pressure - free cooking environment for the cooking cavity 21.

[0112] Specifically, in one embodiment, as Figure 1 shown, when the cooking device 100 is in the boiling pressure - rising stage, the fan 121 operates, so that the inner lid 112 quickly cools and liquefies the water vapor to form water at a certain speed, thus ensuring that the cooking cavity 21 is in a pressure - free cooking environment.

[0113] It can be understood that the fan 121 is arranged opposite to the inner lid 112. By increasing the air flow speed, the heat dissipation of the inner lid 112 can be accelerated, so as to ensure that the inner lid 112 continuously cools and reduces the temperature of the high - temperature water vapor in the cooking cavity 21, and further ensure that the cooking cavity 21 is in a pressure - free cooking environment.

[0114] In some embodiments, the condensing member 12 includes a water box 124. The water box 124 includes a box body 122 and a seal 123. The box body 122 is provided with a water - spraying hole 1221 facing the cooking cavity 21. When the cooking device 100 is in the boiling pressure - rising stage, the seal 123 is configured to open the water - spraying hole 1221.

[0115] In this way, the liquid water in the box body 122 is sprayed onto the cooking cavity 21 through the water - spraying hole 1221 to cool and liquefy the high - temperature water vapor, so as to ensure the pressure - free cooking environment of the cooking cavity 21.

[0116] Specifically, in one embodiment, as Figure 4As shown, when the cooking device 100 is in the boiling and pressurizing stage, the seal 123 opens the through hole 1121 so that the water in the box body 122 is sprayed toward the cooking cavity 21 through the water spraying holes 1221, thereby quickly cooling and liquefying the water vapor to form water, and further ensuring that the cooking cavity 21 is in a pressureless cooking environment.

[0117] It can be understood that the water spraying holes 1221 are arranged toward the inside of the cooking cavity 21, and the gravity of water can be utilized to converge the water in the box body 122 at the protruding part 1222 through the through hole 1121, thereby increasing the water spraying speed, making the sprayed water fully mix with the high-temperature water vapor in the cooking cavity 21 to cool and liquefy, and further ensuring that the cooking cavity 21 is in a pressureless cooking environment.

[0118] In one embodiment, the cooking device 100 can be used in a less-water cooking mode.

[0119] For example, when normal cooking requires a total water consumption of 2L (0.5L of which will boil and volatilize), the embodiment of the present utility model can condense 0.5L of the volatilized steam into water and replenish it into the cooking cavity 21.

[0120] That is to say, the embodiment of the present utility model can start cooking with only 1.5L of water, thereby realizing the less-water cooking mode and improving the cooking speed.

[0121] Specifically, the cooking steps can be as follows: put the ingredients and water into the cooking cavity 21, select the pressureless cooking function, so that the cooking cavity 21 enters the heating stage, and at this time the heating element 30 works to heat the water. When the detection device 40 detects that the temperature in the cooking cavity 21 reaches 100°C or the pressure reaches 100KPa, the water in the cooking cavity 21 enters the boiling and pressurizing stage, and the condensing element 12 starts to work to continuously provide cooling capacity to the inner cover 112 to cool the water vapor in contact with the inner cover 112, so that the inside of the cooking cavity 21 remains in a pressureless state and maintains a pressureless boiling state, and further makes the heating element 30 and the condensing element 12 stop working to complete the pressureless cooking process.

[0122] In another embodiment, the cooking device 100 can be used in a segmented water addition cooking mode.

[0123] For example, when cooking requires a total water consumption of 2L, only 1L of water is added to the cooking cavity 21 at the beginning of cooking, and 1L of water is added to the box body 122. At this time, the amount of water in the cooking cavity is small, which can achieve rapid boiling without overflowing, thereby improving the cooking uniformity of the ingredients.

[0124] At the same time, during the boiling process, the water in the box body 122 can be added to the cooking cavity 21 in segments and multiple times. On the one hand, the water vapor can be condensed to achieve pressureless cooking. On the other hand, multiple water additions can improve the core penetration effect and prevent the skin from being overcooked, thereby improving the cooking effect.

[0125] In other embodiments, the water in the box body 122 can also be added to the cooking cavity 21 during other cooking stages to ensure the cooking effects of water replenishment for preventing drying or purine removal.

[0126] For example, the water in the box body 122 can be added to the cooking cavity 21 during the rice simmering stage to prevent the surface of the ingredients from drying out and turning yellow.

[0127] Specifically, the cooking steps can be as follows: put the ingredients into the cooking cavity 21, add water to the cooking cavity 21 according to the low water level scale line, and at the same time add water to the accommodating cavity 111 (meeting the minimum requirement), start the cooking program to enter the heating stage, at this time the heating element 30 works and heats the water. When the detection device 40 detects that the temperature in the cooking cavity 21 reaches 100°C or the pressure reaches 100 KPa, the water in the cooking cavity 21 is in the boiling and pressurizing stage, and the condensing element 12 starts to work to open the through hole 1121, so that the water in the accommodating cavity 111 is sprayed into the cooking cavity 21 through the water spraying hole 1221, so as to condense and reduce the pressure of the water vapor in the cooking cavity 21, so that the cooking cavity 21 reaches a pressureless state. At this time, close the through hole 1121 to complete a segmented water addition and pressureless cooking process.

[0128] The heating element 30 continues to heat. When the detection device 40 detects that the temperature in the cooking cavity 21 reaches 100°C or the pressure reaches 100 KPa, the condensing element 12 works again to complete the secondary segmented water addition and pressureless cooking process.

[0129] In this way, a pressureless cooking process with multiple segmented water additions is realized. When the total pressureless cooking time is reached, the heating element 30 and the condensing element 12 are stopped from working, so as to complete the pressureless cooking process.
