Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of small household appliances, and more specifically, to an inner container assembly and a cooking appliance having the same. Background Art

[0002] A cooking appliance includes a housing and an inner container. The inner container is removably disposed within the housing. The inner container has a cooking cavity for accommodating food. For example, the inner container of a stir-fryer is used to accommodate food, and the stir-fryer further includes a stirring member that can rotate within the inner container, and the food can be stir-fried by using the stirring member.

[0003] In the related art, when a user takes out the inner container from the housing and places it on a tabletop, the inner container has a risk of tipping over, which is not convenient for the user to use.

[0004] Therefore, in the related art, there is a problem that the inner container has a risk of tipping over when placed on a tabletop. Summary of the Utility Model

[0005] The utility model provides an inner container assembly and a cooking appliance having the same to solve the problem that the inner container has a risk of tipping over when placed on a tabletop in the related art.

[0006] According to one aspect of the utility model, an inner container assembly is provided. The inner container assembly includes: an inner container, the outer wall of the inner container has a curved surface. When the inner container is placed flat on a horizontal plane, the curved surface has a contact portion that contacts the horizontal plane, and the contact portion is linear; a handle, the handle is disposed on the inner container and is located on one side of the contact portion in a direction perpendicular to the contact portion. When the inner container is placed on the horizontal plane, the curved surface has a first support portion that contacts the horizontal plane, and the first support portion is linear. The lower end of the handle contacts the horizontal plane and forms a second support portion; the contact portion is located between the first support portion and the second support portion and is above the horizontal plane; or, the contact portion coincides with the first support portion.

[0007] Applying the technical solution of the utility model, when a user takes out the inner container from the housing and places it on a horizontal plane, the inner container contacts the horizontal plane through the first support portion, and the lower end of the handle contacts the horizontal plane and forms a second support portion. Since the first support portion is linear, the inner container assembly as a whole forms a stable three-dimensional triangular structure, so that the inner container assembly does not tip over. Specifically, when the inner container is placed on the horizontal plane, the inner container is inclined and has a tendency to tip over in the direction of the handle (or, the inner container is horizontal but since the end of the inner container with the handle is relatively heavier, it still has a tendency to tip over in the direction of the handle), but due to the presence of the handle, the inner container assembly as a whole forms a stable three-dimensional triangular structure, so the inner container assembly does not tip over.

[0008] Further, the lower end of the handle is flush with the lowest point of the inner container, or the lower end of the handle is located below the lowest point of the inner container. If the lower end of the handle is flush with the lowest point of the inner container, when the inner container is placed on a horizontal plane, the contact part coincides with the first support part (since the end of the inner container with the handle is relatively heavier and has a tendency to tip in the direction of the handle, but due to the presence of the handle, the overall inner container assembly forms a stable three-dimensional triangular structure, so the inner container assembly does not tip). If the lower end of the handle is located below the lowest point of the inner container, when the inner container is placed on a horizontal plane, the contact part is located between the first support part and the second support part and above the horizontal plane (the inner container is tilted and has a tendency to tip in the direction of the handle, but due to the presence of the handle, the overall inner container assembly forms a stable three-dimensional triangular structure, so the inner container assembly does not tip).

[0009] Further, when the inner container is placed on a horizontal plane, the angle between the upper end face of the inner container and the horizontal plane is between 0° and 15°. This angle range enables the lowest point of the handle (the lower end of the handle) to support on the table when the inner container is shaken, so that the inner container assembly can be stably placed on the table for convenient use.

[0010] Further, the vertical distance between the lower end of the handle and the lowest point of the inner container is between 0 mm and 58 mm. This angle range enables the lowest point of the handle (the lower end of the handle) to support on the table when the inner container is shaken, so that the inner container assembly can be stably placed on the table for convenient use.

[0011] Further, the inner container includes an arc-shaped plate and two side plates. The two side plates are respectively connected to both sides of the arc-shaped plate. The arc-shaped plate and the two side plates together enclose a cooking cavity with an upward opening, and the outer wall of the arc-shaped plate forms an arc surface. The cooking cavity is used to hold food. By using the arc-shaped plate and the two side plates to form the inner container, the shape of the cooking cavity of the inner container is more regular. The inner container is the inner container of a cooking machine, and the stirring member of the cooking machine can rotate in the cooking cavity to stir-fry the food. By extending both ends of the arc-shaped plate to the upper end of the inner container, when the stirring member stirs, it can stir-fry the food along the inner wall of the arc-shaped plate, improving the stir-frying effect.

[0012] Further, the handle is located in the middle of the upper end of the arc-shaped plate, and the support structure formed by the first support part and the second support part is more symmetrical, making the support effect more stable.

[0013] Further, the side plate is a flat plate structure, which has the advantages of being easy to process and low cost.

[0014] Further, a stirring member mounting portion is provided on the side plate; and / or, the connection between the arc plate and the two side plates is smoothly transitioned. The stirring member can be mounted by using the stirring member mounting portion, so that the stirring member can stir food in the cooking cavity. The connection between the arc plate and the two side plates is set to be smoothly transitioned. On the one hand, it is convenient to clean the inner container, and on the other hand, when stirring, the food in the cooking cavity is not likely to remain at the connection between the arc plate and the two side plates.

[0015] According to another aspect of the present invention, a cooking appliance is provided. The cooking appliance includes: a housing; an inner container assembly removably disposed in the housing, and the inner container assembly is the inner container assembly provided above. Therefore, when the user takes out the inner container from the housing and places it on the table, the cooking appliance can also support the inner container by using the first support portion and the second support portion to prevent the inner container from tipping over.

[0016] Further, when the inner container assembly is located in the housing, the lower end of the handle of the inner container assembly is higher than the lower end of the housing. With the above structure, after the inner container assembly is assembled into the housing, the handle does not contact the table, that is, the handle does not interfere with the assembly of the inner container assembly.

[0031] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments. The following description of at least one exemplary embodiment is actually only illustrative and in no way limits the present invention and its application or use. Based on the embodiments in the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts belong to the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0032] As Figures 1 to 3 shown, Embodiment 1 of the present invention provides an inner container assembly, which includes an inner container 10 and a handle 20. The outer wall of the inner container 10 has an arc surface 11. When the inner container 10 is placed flat on the horizontal plane, the arc surface 11 has a contact portion in contact with the horizontal plane, and the contact portion is linear. The handle 20 is provided on the inner container 10 and is located on one side of the contact portion in a direction perpendicular to the contact portion. When the inner container 10 is placed on the horizontal plane, the arc surface 11 has a first support portion in contact with the horizontal plane, and the first support portion is linear. The lower end of the handle 20 is in contact with the horizontal plane and forms a second support portion. Among them, the contact portion is located between the first support portion and the second support portion and is above the horizontal plane; or, the contact portion coincides with the first support portion.

[0033] When the inner container assembly provided in this embodiment is applied, when the user takes out the inner container 10 from the outer shell 30 and places it on a horizontal plane, the inner container 10 contacts the horizontal plane through the first support portion, and the lower end of the handle 20 contacts the horizontal plane and forms a second support portion. Since the first support portion is linear, the overall inner container assembly forms a stable three-dimensional triangular structure, so that the inner container assembly does not tip over. Specifically, when the inner container 10 is placed on the horizontal plane, the inner container 10 is inclined and has a tendency to tip over in the direction of the handle 20 (or, the inner container 10 is horizontal but since the end of the inner container 10 with the handle 20 is relatively heavier, it still has a tendency to tip over in the direction of the handle 20), but due to the presence of the handle 20, the overall inner container assembly forms a stable three-dimensional triangular structure, so the inner container assembly does not tip over.

[0034] It should be noted that the lower end of the handle 20 is flush with the lowest point of the inner container 10, or the lower end of the handle 20 is located below the lowest point of the inner container 10.

[0035] If the lower end of the handle 20 is flush with the lowest point of the inner container 10, then when the inner container 10 is placed on the horizontal plane, the contact portion coincides with the first support portion (since the end of the inner container 10 with the handle 20 is relatively heavier, it has a tendency to tip over in the direction of the handle 20, but due to the presence of the handle 20, the overall inner container assembly forms a stable three-dimensional triangular structure, so the inner container assembly does not tip over). If the lower end of the handle 20 is located below the lowest point of the inner container 10, then when the inner container 10 is placed on the horizontal plane, the contact portion is located between the first support portion and the second support portion and above the horizontal plane (the inner container 10 is inclined and has a tendency to tip over in the direction of the handle 20, but due to the presence of the handle 20, the overall inner container assembly forms a stable three-dimensional triangular structure, so the inner container assembly does not tip over).

[0036] Specifically, when the user takes out the inner container 10 from the outer shell 30 and places it on a horizontal plane, if the lower end of the handle 20 is flush with the lowest point of the inner container 10, then the upper end surface of the inner container 10 is parallel to the horizontal plane. If the lower end of the handle 20 protrudes downward from the lowest point of the inner container 10, then there is an angle between the upper end surface of the inner container 10 and the horizontal plane.

[0037] Wherein, when the inner container 10 is placed on the horizontal plane, the angle A between the upper end surface of the inner container 10 and the horizontal plane is between 0° and 15°. This angle range enables the lowest point of the handle (the lower end of the handle) to support on the table when the inner container is shaken, so that the inner container assembly can be stably placed on the table for convenient use.

[0038] Specifically, when the inner container 10 is placed on the horizontal plane, the angle A between the upper end surface of the inner container 10 and the horizontal plane can be 0°, 5°, 10°, 15° and other angles between 0° and 15°.

[0039] In this embodiment, when the inner container 10 is placed on a horizontal plane, the angle A between the upper end surface of the inner container 10 and the horizontal plane is 0°.

[0040] Among them, the vertical distance L between the lower end of the handle 20 and the lowest point of the inner container 10 is between 0 mm and 58 mm. This distance enables the lowest point of the handle (the lower end of the handle) to support on the tabletop when the inner container shakes, so that the inner container assembly can be stably placed on the tabletop for convenient use.

[0041] Specifically, the vertical distance L between the lower end of the handle 20 and the lowest point of the inner container 10 can be 0 mm, 10 mm, 20 mm, 30 mm, 40 mm, 50 mm, 58 mm, and any value between 0 mm and 58 mm.

[0042] In this embodiment, the vertical distance L between the lower end of the handle 20 and the lowest point of the inner container 10 is 0 mm.

[0043] As Figure 1 shown, in this embodiment, the inner container 10 includes an arc-shaped plate 12 and two side plates 13. The two side plates 13 are respectively connected to both sides of the arc-shaped plate 12. The arc-shaped plate 12 and the two side plates 13 together enclose a cooking cavity 14 with an upward opening. The outer wall of the arc-shaped plate 12 forms an arc surface 11. The cooking cavity 14 is used to hold food. By using the arc-shaped plate 12 and the two side plates 13 to form the inner container 10, the shape of the cooking cavity 14 of the inner container 10 is more regular.

[0044] In this embodiment, the inner container 10 is the inner container of a cooking machine, and the stirring member of the cooking machine can rotate in the cooking cavity 14 to stir-fry the food.

[0045] By extending both ends of the arc-shaped plate 12 to the upper end of the inner container 10, the stirring member can stir-fry the food along the inner wall of the arc-shaped plate 12 during stirring, improving the stirring and frying effect.

[0046] As Figure 3 shown, the handle 20 is located in the middle of the upper end of the arc-shaped plate 12, and the support structure formed by the first support portion and the second support portion is more symmetrical, making the support effect more stable.

[0047] In this embodiment, the side plate 13 is a flat plate structure, which has the advantages of being easy to process and low cost.

[0048] As Figure 1 and Figure 2 shown, a stirring member mounting portion 131 is provided on the side plate 13. The stirring member can be mounted by using the stirring member mounting portion 131, so that the stirring member can stir the food in the cooking cavity 14.

[0049] In this embodiment, the stirring member mounting portion 131 is a mounting base which has a mounting hole, and the connecting shaft of the stirring member is rotatably inserted through the mounting hole, so that the food can be stirred by the stirring blades on the connecting shaft.

[0050] As Figure 1 shown, the connection between the arc-shaped plate 12 and the two side plates 13 has a smooth transition. With the above structure, on the one hand, it is convenient to clean the inner container 10, and on the other hand, when stirring, the food in the cooking cavity 14 is not likely to remain at the connection between the arc-shaped plate 12 and the two side plates 13.

[0051] As Figure 4 and Figure 5 shown, Embodiment II of the present utility model provides an inner container assembly. The difference between the inner container assembly provided in Embodiment II and that in Embodiment I is that in Embodiment II, the lower end of the handle 20 protrudes downward beyond the lowest point of the inner container 10. Therefore, for the inner container assembly provided in Embodiment II, when the user takes out the inner container 10 from the outer shell 30 and places it on a horizontal plane, the inner container 10 contacts the horizontal plane through the first support portion, and the lower end of the handle 20 contacts the horizontal plane and forms a second support portion. Since the first support portion is linear, the inner container assembly as a whole forms a stable three-dimensional triangular structure, so that the inner container assembly does not tip over.

[0052] When the user takes out the inner container 10 from the outer shell 30 and places it on a horizontal plane, there is an included angle between the upper end surface of the inner container 10 and the horizontal plane.

[0053] As Figure 6 shown, Embodiment III of the present utility model provides a cooking appliance, which includes an outer shell 30 and an inner container assembly 40. The inner container assembly 40 is removably disposed in the outer shell 30, and the inner container assembly 40 is the inner container assembly provided above. Therefore, when the user takes out the inner container assembly 40 from the outer shell 30 and places it on a horizontal plane, the inner container 10 contacts the horizontal plane through the first support portion, and the lower end of the handle 20 contacts the horizontal plane and forms a second support portion. Since the first support portion is linear, the inner container assembly as a whole forms a stable three-dimensional triangular structure, so that the inner container assembly does not tip over.

[0054] In this embodiment, when the inner container assembly 40 is located in the outer shell 30, the lower end of the handle 20 of the inner container assembly 40 is higher than the lower end of the outer shell 30. With the above structure, after the inner container assembly 40 is assembled into the outer shell 30, the handle 20 will not contact the tabletop, that is, the handle 20 will not interfere with the assembly of the inner container assembly 40.

[0055] Among them, the cooking appliance includes but is not limited to a stir-fry machine and a multi-functional pot.
