[0049] In some embodiments, a cooking device, such as a rice cooker, is provided. Referring to Figure 1 , the cooking device includes a pot body 100, and an inner pot 110 is disposed in the pot body 100. The inner pot 110 forms a cooking cavity 120.
[0050] The cooking device includes a lid body 200. The lid body 200 is rotatably connected to the pot body 100, and the lid body 200 is configured to close or open the cooking cavity 120.
[0051] The cooking device includes a first air flow channel 310. The first air flow channel 310 is disposed in the lid body 200, and the first air flow channel 310 is configured to communicate the cooking cavity 120 with the outside atmosphere.
[0052] The cooking device includes a second air flow channel 320. The second air flow channel 320 is disposed in the lid body 200, and one end of the second air flow channel 320 communicates with the outside atmosphere.
[0053] The cooking device includes a connecting pipeline 400. The connecting pipeline 400 is disposed in the lid body 200, one end of the connecting pipeline 400 communicates with the cooking cavity 120, and the other end communicates with the other end of the second air flow channel 320.
[0054] The cooking device includes a vacuum pump 500, and the vacuum pump 500 is disposed on the connecting pipeline 400.
[0055] Referring to Figure 2 , when the cooking device is in the first working state, the cooking cavity 120 has not reached the boiling state, the vacuum pump 500 is closed, and the steam in the cooking cavity 120 is discharged to the outside atmosphere through the first air flow channel 310. At this time, the first air flow channel 310 acts as an exhaust valve.
[0056] Referring to Figure 3, when the cooking device is in the second working state, the cooking cavity 120 reaches the boiling state, the vacuum pump 500 is turned on, and the steam in the cooking cavity 120 is discharged to the outside atmosphere through the second air flow channel 320; since the gas in the cooking cavity 120 decreases, the outside atmosphere enters the cooking cavity 120 through the first air flow channel 310. When the outside atmosphere flows into the cooking cavity 120 through the first air flow channel 310, due to the temperature of the outside atmosphere being lower than that in the cooking cavity 120, the inflowing outside atmosphere forms a temperature difference convection with the boiling bubbles in the cooking cavity 120, thereby achieving defoaming and anti-overflow.
[0057] In the cooking device of the present disclosure, a first air flow channel 310 and a second air flow channel 320 are provided in the cover body 200, and a vacuum pump 500 is provided on the second air flow channel 320, and the two air flow channels are used in cooperation. When the cooking cavity 120 does not reach the boiling state, the vacuum pump 500 is turned off, and the first air flow channel 310 acts as an exhaust valve, and the steam in the cooking cavity 120 is discharged through the first air flow channel 310. When the cooking cavity 120 reaches the boiling state, the vacuum pump 500 is turned on, and under the action of the vacuum pump 500, the steam in the cooking cavity 120 is discharged through the second air flow channel 320, while the outside atmosphere flows into the cooking cavity 120 through the first air flow channel 310, forming a temperature difference convection with the boiling bubbles in the cooking cavity 120, thereby achieving defoaming and anti-overflow.
[0058] In some embodiments, the cooking device includes an exhaust member 300, the exhaust member 300 is disposed in the cover body 200, and a first air flow channel 310 and a second air flow channel 320 are formed in the exhaust member 300.
[0059] In other words, the first air flow channel 310 and the second air flow channel 320 are integrated into one component, which is convenient for processing and assembly. The exhaust member 300 is a steam valve having a double air flow channel.
[0060] The connecting pipeline 400 is, for example, a section of flexible hose, and the connecting pipeline 400 extends and runs in the cover body 200. After the exhaust member 300 is installed on the cover body 200, the second air flow channel 320 is communicated with the connecting pipeline 400.
[0061] In some embodiments, the first air flow channel 310 and the second air flow channel 320 are adjacently arranged, and the structure is compact.
[0062] In some embodiments, the first air flow channel 310 and the second air flow channel 320 generally extend along the height direction of the cover body 200, which is convenient for gas flow.
[0063] In some embodiments, the first air flow channel 310 and the second air flow channel 320 are bent channel structures, which helps to improve the anti-overflow effect.
[0064] In some embodiments, the first air flow channel 310 has a first ventilation opening 311, and the first ventilation opening 311 communicates with the cooking cavity 120. The connecting pipeline 400 has a second ventilation opening 430, and the second ventilation opening 430 communicates with the cooking cavity 120.
[0065] The first ventilation opening 311 and the second ventilation opening 430 are arranged at intervals along the inner diameter direction of the cooking cavity 120. Refer to Figure 3 , the distance between the first ventilation opening 311 and the second ventilation opening 430 is far, and the gas flows along the radial direction of the inner container 110, which helps to improve the convection effect and further improve the anti-overflow and anti-foaming effects.
[0066] In some embodiments, the connecting pipeline 400 includes a connected first pipeline 410 and a second pipeline 420.
[0067] The first pipeline 410 extends along the transverse direction of the cover body 200, the first pipeline 410 communicates with the second air flow channel 320, and a vacuum pump 500 is arranged on the first pipeline 410. The vacuum pump 500 is horizontally arranged to make full use of the internal space of the cover body 200. If the vacuum pump 500 is vertically arranged, it will cause an increase in the height of the cover body 200.
[0068] The second pipeline 420 communicates with the cooking cavity 120, and the second pipeline 420 extends along the height direction of the cover body 200, facilitating the upward flow and exhaust of steam.
[0069] In some embodiments, a one-way valve 600 is arranged on the connecting pipeline 400, and the one-way valve 600 is located at the intake end of the vacuum pump 500. The one-way valve 600 prevents gas backflow.
[0070] In some embodiments, the vacuum pump 500 is turned on when the remaining cooking time of the cooking device is greater than or equal to a set value. Judging whether the cooking cavity 120 reaches the boiling state through the remaining cooking time is more accurate and reliable.
[0071] In some embodiments, a first temperature sensor 710 is arranged on one side of the cover body 200 facing the cooking cavity 120 for detecting the temperature in the cooking cavity 120. For example, the first temperature sensor 710 is an NTC.
[0072] In some embodiments, a second temperature sensor 720 is arranged at the bottom of the inner container 110 for detecting the temperature in the cooking cavity 120. For example, the first temperature sensor 710 is an NTC.
[0073] By detecting the upper and lower temperatures of the cooking cavity 120 and combining with the cooking program, it helps to improve the cooking temperature control accuracy and cooking effect.
[0074] In the description of the above embodiments, specific features, structures, materials, or characteristics may be combined in any one or more embodiments or examples in a suitable manner.
[0075] The above are only specific embodiments of the present invention, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any changes or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed by the present invention should be covered by the protection scope of the present invention. Therefore, the protection scope of the present invention should be subject to the protection scope of the claims.
