[0033] The following will describe in detail some embodiments of this application with reference to the accompanying drawings. Without conflict, the features in the following embodiments can be combined with each other.

[0034] Please refer to Figures 1 to 7 As shown, this application provides a multifunctional household cooking appliance 100. The multifunctional household cooking appliance 100 includes a main body 1, a cooking pot 3 accommodated in the main body 1, and a connecting arm 4 hinged to the main body 1 so as to be capable of flipping back and forth. A pot lid 2 is combined on the connecting arm 4, and the connecting arm 4 flips back and forth to cover the pot lid 2 on the main body 1 or open it from the main body 1. The connecting arm 4 has opposite front end 41 and rear end 42. The rear end 42 of the connecting arm 4 is hinged to the main body 1, and its hinge axis is as shown by reference numeral C in Figure 4 . The front end 41 extends above the cooking pot 3 and is generally connected to the central part of the pot lid 2. Among them, the front, rear, upper and lower orientations of the cooking appliance 100 are as shown in Figure 4As shown by the arrow in the figure. The pot lid 2 includes a flat plate portion 21 and an arc-shaped ring portion 22 located around the flat plate portion 21. The flat plate portion 21 is in a flat plate shape, and the connecting arm 4 is in contact connection with the flat plate portion 21, so that the contact is compact and the connection is firm and reliable; the arc-shaped ring portion 33 is an arc-shaped surface and forms a ring around the flat plate portion 21, and it can guide the condensed water to flow back into the pot liner 3. The connecting arm 4 is combined with a douhua making device 5. The douhua making device 5 is assembled when making douhua, and when douhua is not made, the douhua making device 5 can be removed. A heating device is provided in the main body 1 to be suitable for heating the pot liner 3, and the heating device can be a heating disk or an electromagnetic wire disk, etc. A ventilation hole 101 is provided at the bottom of the main body 1 for ventilation and heat dissipation. In one embodiment, the multifunctional household cooking appliance 100 has a variety of cooking functions, and it is not only suitable for making douhua, but also can make other foods, such as cooking porridge, making soup, cooking rice, cooking vegetables, etc.

[0035] Please refer to Figures 3 to 7 As shown in the figure, when making douhua, the pot liner 3 is filled with a slurry, and the slurry is, for example, soy milk slurry, added bittern, etc. The douhua making device 5 is used to stir the slurry in the pot liner 3. The douhua making device 5 includes a stirring member 52. The upper end of the stirring member 52 is combined with the connecting arm 4, and the stirring member 52 protrudes in the pot liner 3 in the up and down direction. When the connecting arm 4 is turned backward and opened, the stirring member 52 moves forward and upward along an arc L3 in the pot liner 3 to leave the pot liner 3 from the mouth of the pot liner 3; wherein, when the connecting arm 4 covers the main body 1, the central axis L2 of the stirring member 52 is closer to the rear side of the pot liner 3 than the central axis L1 of the pot liner 3, so that a larger space is reserved in front of the stirring member 52 in the pot liner 3. It is convenient for the stirring member 52 to move forward and upward along the arc L3 in the pot liner 3 to leave the pot liner 3 from the mouth of the pot liner 3, and during the movement, the stirring member 52 will be farther away from the front side of the cooking appliance to avoid the stirring member 52 scratching the user standing in front of the cooking appliance.

[0036] The douhua making device 5 is disposed above the pot liner 3. A motor 51 is provided in the connecting arm 4, and the motor 51 has a motor shaft 511 protruding into the pot liner 3. The stirring member 52 is detachably connected to the motor shaft 511. Please refer to Figures 4 to 6As shown, the stirring member 52 and the motor 51 are detachably connected. During installation, the stirring member 52 is inserted onto the motor shaft 511 from bottom to top; during disassembly, the stirring member 52 is adapted to be subjected to a downward external force, such as a pulling force, to disengage from the motor shaft 511 for removal. In this embodiment, the stirring member 52 is inserted onto the motor shaft 511 through a bushing 522. Specifically, the stirring member 52 includes a connecting shaft 521, a bushing 522, and stirring blades 523. The stirring blades 523 are connected to the lower end of the connecting shaft 521. The bushing 522 is connected to the upper end of the connecting shaft 521 by screws or the like. The bushing 522 is sleeved on the motor shaft 511 and the two are relatively fixed in the circumferential direction. The detachable connection between the stirring member 52 and the motor 51 can be specifically various ways. For example, in one embodiment, a magnetic member is provided inside the bushing 522, and the stirring member 52 is magnetically adsorbed to the motor shaft 511 through the magnetic member; for another example, in one embodiment, the bushing 522 is an elastic member, and it is connected to the motor shaft 511 by interference fit. To facilitate the placement of the stirring member 52 after it is removed, a placement portion 43 for placing the removed stirring member 52 is provided on the main body 1 or the connecting arm 4. In this embodiment, the placement portion 43 is a plug post provided on the side surface of the connecting arm 4 for the stirring member 52 to be sleeved and placed through the bushing 522. In other embodiments, the placement portion 43 can also be provided on the main body 1, and it can also be configured in other forms, such as a storage box structure, etc.

[0037] Please continue to refer to Figure 4As shown, in this embodiment, when the stirring member 52 is connected to the motor 51, it is located on one side of the central axis L1 of the pot liner 3 close to the rear end 42 of the connecting arm 4. In other words, the position of the stirring member 52 when installed in the pot liner 3 is eccentric with respect to the central axis L1 of the pot liner 3, and this eccentricity is that the stirring member 52 is closer to the rear side of the main body 1. That is, the central axis L2 of the stirring member 52 is located at the rear side of the central axis L1 of the pot liner 3. The stirring member 52 is eccentrically arranged, and the stirred slurry flows asymmetrically. The space between the stirring member 52 and the rear side of the pot liner 3 is small, the flow rate of the slurry is fast, it impacts the rear side of the pot liner 3 and rebounds to collide with other slurries. This interaction stimulates a stronger turbulent flow effect, improving the stirring efficiency and effect. In this embodiment, the diameter of the pot liner 3 is larger than the depth of the pot liner 3, so that the pot liner 3 is flat. Such a pot liner 3 has a larger bottom area, and through the eccentric arrangement of the above-mentioned stirring member 52, the asymmetry of the eddy current can be increased, enhancing the stirring effect. Moreover, compared with a slender processing barrel, the pot liner 3 is flat. When making the same amount of tofu pudding, the depth of the slurry will not be too deep, which can also reduce the liquid pressure and the stirring resistance of the stirring member 52, making it difficult for the stirring member 52 to fall off. The length of the stirring member 52 protruding into the pot liner 3 is not less than 1 / 2 of the depth of the pot liner 3 to prevent the stirring member 52 from hanging above the slurry and being unable to stir when the amount of tofu pudding made is small.

[0038] Please refer to Figure 7 As shown, the stirring paddle blade 523 is configured with a water deflecting slope 5233. When the motor 51 drives the stirring member 52 to rotate in a set rotation direction to stir the slurry, the force of the slurry acting on the water deflecting slope 5233 is upward to prevent the stirring member 52 from detaching from the motor 51 during the stirring process. In this embodiment, the stirring paddle blade 523 includes a central mounting portion 5231 and blades 5232 extending from the central mounting portion 5231 to both sides. An installation hole is provided at the central mounting portion 5231 for connecting to the connecting shaft 521. The blades 5232 are twisted relative to the central mounting portion 5231 to form the water deflecting slope 5233. In other embodiments, the water deflecting slope 5233 can also be formed by cutting, injection molding, etc. In this embodiment, the angle between the outermost edge of the water deflecting slope 5233 and the horizontal plane is 20° - 45°. When this angle is smaller or larger, the upward force received by the slurry will decrease, and the stirring effect will be significantly reduced when the angle is smaller. To ensure the stirring effect of the stirring member 52 and at the same time receive a relatively large reaction force from the slurry, it is preferably to set the angle range as the above range. More preferably, the range of the above angle is 25° - 40°. Since the stirring member 52 presses down the slurry when rotating, the water deflecting slope 5233 can prevent the slurry from splashing, and at the same time is conducive to the formation of eddy currents, which can improve the stirring effect.

[0039] In this embodiment, at least in the process of making tofu pudding, the motor 51 drives the stirring member 52 to rotate unidirectionally. The unidirectional rotation direction is related to the water-repelling slope 5233 formed by the stirring blades 523 on the stirring member 52. The unidirectional rotation causes the slurry to enter the lower part of the water-repelling slope 5233 from the side of the water-repelling slope 5233, thereby exerting an upward push force on the water-repelling slope 5233. Please refer to Figure 6. The rotation direction of the stirring member 52 driven by the motor 51, that is, the set rotation direction described above, is as shown in Figure 6. Figure 6 As shown by the arrow in the middle. Of course, it can be understood that in other embodiments, if the torsion direction of the stirring blade 523 is opposite, the rotation direction of the stirring member 52 is opposite. It should be noted that when making other foods, the stirring member 52 may not be used, and other different types of stirring members may be used as needed, such as stirring members without the water-repelling slope 5233; when making other foods, the motor 51 may rotate forward or reverse as needed.

[0040] Please refer again Figure 4 As shown, in this embodiment, a liquid level indicator line 31 is provided on the inner pot 3 to indicate the amount of slurry added during the production of tofu pudding. The liquid level indicator line 31 can be the best recommended liquid level, or it can be the highest liquid level or the lowest liquid level. In this embodiment, the height h of the stirring blade 523 is 1 / 2 to 3 / 4 of the height H of the liquid level indicator line 31; that is, the length of the stirring blade 523 penetrating into the slurry does not exceed half of the depth of the slurry, so that a large amount of slurry is stirred under the stirring blade 523 to ensure that there is enough slurry to provide an upward force acting on the stirring blade 523. Preferably, the height H of the liquid level indicator line 31 is 6 to 12 cm, and the specific value is, for example, 8 cm, 9 cm, 10 cm, etc. In this embodiment, the stirring blade 523 included in the stirring member 52 is located at the lowest liquid level line. It should be noted that, if the bottom wall of the pot 3 is flat, the above-mentioned height is the distance to the inner surface of the bottom wall of the pot 3; if the bottom wall of the pot 3 is convex or concave, the height h from the stirring blade 523 to the bottom of the pot is the distance from the stirring blade 523 vertically downward from its position to the inner surface of the bottom wall of the pot 3, and the height H from the above-mentioned liquid level indicator line 31 to the bottom of the pot is the lower end being consistent with the height h, and the distance from the upper end to the liquid level indicator line 31.

[0041] As can be seen from the above description of the specific embodiments, for the multifunctional household cooking appliance 100 provided by the present application, a douhua making device 5 is combined on the connecting arm 4. The douhua making device 5 includes a stirring member 52. The stirring member 52 protrudes vertically into the inner pot 3. When the connecting arm 4 covers the main body 1, the central axis L2 of the stirring member 52 is closer to the rear end of the inner pot 3 than the central axis L1 of the inner pot 3, so that a larger space is reserved in front of the stirring member 52 in the inner pot 3. Thus, when the connecting arm 4 is turned backward and opened, it is convenient for the stirring member 52 to move forward and upward along an arc in the inner pot 3 to leave the inner pot 3 from the mouth of the inner pot 3. And during the movement, the stirring member 52 will be farther away from the front side of the cooking appliance to avoid the stirring member 52 scraping the user standing in front of the cooking appliance.

[0042] The above is only the specific implementation manner of the present application, but the protection scope of the present application is not limited thereto. Any changes or substitutions that can be easily thought of by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed by the present application should be covered by the protection scope of the present application. Therefore, the protection scope of the present application should be subject to the protection scope of the claims.
