[0029] Refer to Figure 1, A power cord 400 storage mechanism, comprising: a housing 100, a wire winding structure 500, and a storage area 135; the wire winding structure 500 is installed inside the housing 100, an electric control module 200 is arranged inside the housing 100, and the electric control module 200 is connected to a power cord 400; a part of the power cord 400 extends outside the housing 100 and is connected to an electrical connector 300; the wire winding structure 500 is connected to the power cord 400 and can drive it to extend or retract relative to the outside of the housing 100. The storage area 135 is arranged in the housing 100. When the wire winding structure 500 drives the power cord 400 to retract into the housing 100, the electrical connector 300 can move to the storage area 135 and be completely stored in the storage area 135. When the stove needs to be powered on and enabled, the power cord 400 can be driven manually or by other means, and the force of the wire winding structure 500 on the power cord 400 can be overcome, so that the electrical connector 300 can extend outside the storage area 135 and perform the power connection operation. During the storage, transportation, and storage of the stove, the wire winding structure 500 can drive the power cord 400, so that the power cord 400 retracts into the housing 100. During the process of the power cord 400 retracting into the housing 100, the electrical connector 300 will gradually move to the storage area 135 and finally be completely stored in the storage area 135. Thus, both the power cord 400 and the electrical connector 300 achieve a smooth and complete storage effect, and neither of them will extend outside the housing 100 any more. Furthermore, the stove can be conveniently stored, transported, and stored, and this process can be avoided from being interfered or obstructed by the power cord 400 and the electrical connector 300.

[0030] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 4 , the wire winding structure 500 includes a winding wheel 550 rotatably arranged inside the housing 100, and the power cord 400 is connected to the winding wheel 550; a clockwork spring 520 is arranged inside the housing 100, and the clockwork spring 520 is connected to the winding wheel 550 and can drive the power cord 400 to be coiled inside the housing 100 through it. When the force on the power cord 400 is removed, the clockwork spring 520 can drive the power cord 400 to perform a reset movement, so that the power cord 400 can smoothly retract into the housing 100, and thus effectively achieve the effect of storing the power cord 400. When the power cord 400 extends, it will drive the winding wheel 550 to rotate, and at this time, the rotation of the winding wheel 550 will store elastic potential energy for the clockwork spring 520. When the external force on the power cord 400 is removed, the clockwork spring 520 can drive the winding wheel 550 to rotate in the reverse direction through its elastic potential energy, and then directly and effectively retract the power cord 400 through the winding wheel 550, so as to facilitate the smooth storage operation of the power cord 400.

[0031] Specifically, the wire winding structure 500 can be composed of various specific structures and components, such as being composed of the components and structures shown by Figure 4 , or being composed ofFigure 5 The components and structures shown, and specific implementation manners can be adjusted accordingly according to actual needs, and are not limited herein.

[0032] It can be envisioned that the wire winding structure 500 can also be composed of other components. For example, a motor drives a roller to rotate, so that the power cord 400 wound around the roller extends or retracts. Therefore, the specific implementation manner of the wire winding structure 500 is not unique, but can be adjusted accordingly according to actual needs, and is not limited herein.

[0033] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 4 or Figure 5 , the cover body 590 and the fixed seat 580 can cooperate to place the spring 520 between the housing 100 and the cover body 590 and isolate between the spring 520 and the winding wheel 550. Therefore, it can effectively prevent the spring 520 from being driven by the rotating winding wheel 550 and, correspondingly, the problem of the spring 520 failing due to position imbalance.

[0034] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 4 or Figure 5 , a disk body 510 is provided in the housing 100, and both the winding wheel 550 and the spring 520 are located within the disk body 510; a coil disk 600 and an exhaust fan 700 are provided in the housing 100, and both the coil disk 600 and the exhaust fan 700 are located outside the disk body 510. The disk body 510 can separately isolate the spring 520 and the winding wheel 550 and relatively separate them from the coil disk 600 for heating and the exhaust fan 700 for heat dissipation. Therefore, it can effectively prevent the problem of relative interference between the spring 520 and the winding wheel 550 and the coil disk 600 and the exhaust fan 700 during movement, and further ensure that the stove can work smoothly.

[0035] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 4 or Figure 5 , the disk body 510 is provided with a fixed seat 580, the spring 520 is installed in the fixed seat 580, and the winding wheel 550 is sleeved on the outer periphery of the fixed seat 580 and can rotate relative thereto. The disk body 510 and the fixed seat 580 can cooperate to place the spring 520 between the housing 100 and the disk body 510 and isolate between the spring 520 and the winding wheel 550. Therefore, it can effectively prevent the spring 520 from being driven by the rotating winding wheel 550 and, correspondingly, the problem of the spring 520 failing due to position imbalance.

[0036] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 4 or Figure 5, a shrapnel 570 is provided on the fixed seat 580. The shrapnel 570 contacts the spring 520 and can press the spring 520 tightly against the disc body 510. The shrapnel 570 can clamp the spring 520 and the disc body 510 against each other through its elastic force, so as to ensure that when the power cord 400 extends outwards, it can drive the winding wheel 550 to rotate, or when the spring 520 drives the winding wheel 550 to rotate, it can drive the power cord 400 to retract, and the problem of the spring 520 becoming loose is not likely to occur during this process.

[0037] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 2 , the storage area 135 is a groove formed by the bottom wall of the housing 100 recessing towards its interior. The power cord 400 extends into the storage area 135 from the side of the storage area 135. The groove enables the electrical connector 300 to be within the outer contour of the space occupied by the overall housing 100 when it is within the storage area 135. Therefore, problems such as accidental contact of the electrical connector 300 within the storage area 135 can be effectively avoided, and it is ensured that the electrical connector 300 can be in a more stable storage state within the storage area 135.

[0038] It can be envisioned that the storage area 135 can also be a recessed area provided on the side or top of the housing 100, as long as the storage effect of the electrical connector 300 can be achieved. The specific implementation manner can be adjusted accordingly according to actual needs and will not be limited here.

[0039] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 2 , there is a through hole between the storage area 135 and the interior of the housing 100. The radial dimension of the through hole is larger than the radial dimension of the power cord 400 and smaller than the radial dimension of the electrical connector 300. The radial dimension of the through hole enables only the power cord 400 to pass through, while the electrical connector 300 cannot pass through. Therefore, during the process of the power cord 400 retracting into the housing 100, the electrical connector 300 will not be able to pass through the through hole and move into the housing 100, but can only be within the storage area 135, thereby ensuring that the user can conveniently access the electrical connector 300 within the storage area 135 when needed.

[0040] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 2 , a wire groove 137 is provided between the side wall of the housing 100 and the storage area 135. The wire groove 137 is used to accommodate the power cord 400. The wire groove 137 enables the power cord 400 to be located within the wire groove 137 when the power cord 400 extends outwards and conducts power connection operations, thereby avoiding phenomena such as the power cord 400 lifting the housing 100 at the bottom of the housing 100, and further avoiding the situation where the stove is placed unstably due to the presence of the power cord 400.

[0041] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 2, the depth of the storage area 135 is greater than the maximum width of the electrical connector 300. The depth of the storage area 135 is higher than the maximum width of the electrical connector 300. Therefore, the electrical connector 300 is within the storage area 135. When the cooking appliance is placed on the support surface, the electrical connector 300 will not lift the cooking appliance, and there will still be enough clearance between the electrical connector 300 and the bottom wall of the storage area 135. Therefore, it can be ensured that when the electrical connector 300 is within the storage area 135, the cooking appliance can still be placed or stored smoothly and steadily.

[0042] In the second aspect of the present utility model, an embodiment of an induction cooker is provided, including the above-mentioned power cord 400 storage mechanism. When the cooking appliance needs to be powered on and enabled, the power cord 400 can be driven manually or by other means, and the force of the winding structure 500 on the power cord 400 can be overcome, so that the electrical connector 300 can extend out of the storage area 135 and perform power connection operations. During the storage, transportation, and storage of the cooking appliance, the winding structure 500 can drive the power cord 400, so that the power cord 400 retracts into the housing 100. During the process of the power cord 400 retracting into the housing 100, the electrical connector 300 will gradually move to the storage area 135 and finally be completely stored in the storage area 135. At this point, both the power cord 400 and the electrical connector 300 have been smoothly and completely stored, and neither of them will extend out relative to the housing 100. Furthermore, the cooking appliance can be conveniently stored, transported, and stored, and interference or obstruction from the power cord 400 and the electrical connector 300 can be avoided during this process.

[0043] The technical features of the above-mentioned embodiments can be combined arbitrarily. For the sake of brevity of description, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above-mentioned embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, it should be considered to be within the scope described in this specification.

[0044] The embodiments of the present utility model have been described in detail above in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. However, the present utility model is not limited to the above-mentioned embodiments. Within the knowledge scope of those of ordinary skill in the art in the technical field, various changes can be made without departing from the purpose of the present utility model.
