[0037] This embodiment discloses a pot lid mechanism, a cooking utensil assembly including the pot lid mechanism, and a cooking device including the cooking utensil assembly, as Figures 1 to 5 shown. The cooking device includes a gas stove 200, and the pot body 100 is placed on the burner of the gas stove 200. The cooking utensil assembly includes the pot body 100, and the pot lid mechanism includes a pot lid main body 1, a supply pipe 2 provided on the pot lid main body 1, a pump body 3 connected to a supply source, a connecting pipe 4 connected between the supply pipe 2 and the pump body 3, and a control device 202 electrically connected to the pump body 3. The pot lid main body 1 can be buckled on the pot body 100.
[0038] In this embodiment, the control device 202 can be a centralized or distributed controller. For example, the controller can be a single microcontroller or can be composed of multiple distributed microcontrollers. A control program can run in the microcontroller to control the pump body 3 to implement its functions. The specific installation position of the control device 202 is not limited and can be set on the pot lid mechanism, the cooking utensil assembly or the cooking device. In this embodiment, the control device 202 is set on the gas stove 200, which can not only control the start and stop of the pump body 3 but also control the start and stop of the gas stove 200, making it more convenient to use.
[0039] After the pump body 3 is started, it can provide the additive to be added towards the inner wall surface of the pot lid main body 1 through the supply pipe 2 and the connecting pipe 4. That is, the pot lid mechanism can automatically add the additive to be added into the pot body 100 without the user manually opening the pot lid and manually adding it, making it more convenient to use; the additive to be added can be added into the pot body 100 without opening the pot lid main body 1, which can keep the space enclosed by the pot lid main body 1 and the pot body 100 at a high temperature state, with high cooking efficiency and good taste of the cooked food.
[0040] Those skilled in the art can understand that the medium for cleaning the cooking utensil can be but is not limited to water. In this embodiment, water is taken as an example for illustration. When the cleaning medium is other substances, its usage method and subsequent treatment method are similar to those of water, which will not be elaborated here.
[0041] To avoid problems in the space enclosed by the pot lid body 1 and the pot body 100 due to adding water, and sometimes to improve the taste of food, hot water needs to be added to the pot body 100. In this embodiment, the pot lid mechanism further includes a heater 5, and the heater 5 is arranged between the pump body 3 and the connecting pipe 4. After the control device 202 starts the pump body 3 and the heater 5, the pump body 3 sends water through the heater 5 into the connecting pipe 4. When the water passes through the heater 5, it is heated to a set temperature, and then hot water is supplied to the inner wall surface direction of the pot lid body 1 (into the pot body 100) through the connecting pipe 4 and the supply pipe 2.
[0042] Based on the above structure, the cooking device further includes a temperature sensor 201 arranged on the gas stove 200. The temperature sensor 201 is used to measure the temperature at the bottom end of the pot body 100 from the outside of the pot body 100. When the temperature at the bottom end of the pot body 100 exceeds the set value T (the temperature is generally about 100°C during stewing, and generally 130°C - 150°C during slow frying over low heat), the temperature sensor 201 outputs a signal to the control device 202, and the control device 202 starts the pump body 3 to add water into the pot body 100 through the connecting pipe 4 and the supply pipe 2 to reduce the temperature at the bottom end of the pot body 100. When the control device 202 detects that the cooking time of the dishes in the pot body 100 exceeds the set value t (the time is generally about 60 minutes), the control device 202 sends a signal to an electromagnetic valve (not shown), and the electromagnetic valve closes the gas source of the gas stove 200 to avoid poor food taste, burning black, or even causing a fire due to overcooking, fundamentally solving the problem of dry burning due to water shortage in the pot body 100 and making it safer to use.
[0043] The specific installation position of the temperature sensor 201 is not limited, as long as it can measure the temperature at the bottom end of the pot body 100 from the outside. In this embodiment, the temperature sensor 201 is installed on the burner head (not shown) of the gas stove 200, and the top end of the temperature sensor 201 abuts against the bottom end of the pot body 100, making the temperature measurement more accurate. Of course, a temperature sensor 201 with infrared function can also be used. The temperature sensor 201 can measure the temperature at a certain distance from the bottom end of the pot body 100, avoiding the temperature sensor 201 being in the range of high flame temperature and extending the service life of the temperature sensor 201.
[0044] As Figure 6 and Figure 7 shown, the pot lid mechanism further includes a handle 7. The handle 7 is connected to the pot lid body 1, and a chamber for installing the supply pipe 2 is formed between the handle 7 and the pot lid body 1. The handle 7 has a limiting and protecting effect on the supply pipe 2, ensuring that the water can smoothly enter the pot body 100 through the supply pipe 2.
[0045] Based on the above structure, the pot lid mechanism further includes a transmission device 8. In one embodiment, the transmission device 8 includes a motor (not shown), the output end of which is connected to the handle 7. The motor is electrically connected to the control device 202. After the control device 202 activates the motor, the output end of the motor rotates about its axis, automatically opening or closing the pot lid body 1 via the handle 7, eliminating the need for the user to manually open or close the pot lid. This is more convenient and saves time and effort.
[0046] In another structure, the transmission device 8 includes a motor (not shown), a driving gear (not shown) and a driven gear (not shown), the driving gear is fixedly connected to the output end of the motor, and the driven gear is fixedly connected to the handle 7. The driving gear and the driven gear are meshed, and when the output end of the motor rotates about its axis, the pot lid body 1 can be opened or closed through the driving gear, the driven gear and the handle 7. After the force of the driving gear and the driven gear is transferred, the torque of the motor output end will not directly act on the handle 7, and the handle 7 moves more gently, avoiding accidental collision of the pot lid body 1 caused by suddenly opening and closing the pot lid body 1.
[0047] The two transmission devices 8 described above function similarly. When the pot needs to be opened for stir-frying or water needs to be added midway, the control device 202 outputs a signal to the transmission device 8, which activates the motor and drives the pot cover body 1 to rotate upward by a certain angle via the handle 7. In this embodiment, the angle of upward rotation of the pot cover body 1 ranges from 70° to 90°. After stir-frying or adding water, the control device 202 outputs a signal to the transmission device 8, which activates the motor and drives the pot cover body 1 to rotate downward by a certain angle via the handle 7 until the pot cover body 1 is buckled onto the pot body 100. The angle of downward rotation of the pot cover body 1 ranges from 70° to 90°, preferably 70°, 75°, 80°, 85°, and 90°.
[0048] Based on the above structure, the pot cover mechanism further includes a box body 9 and a bracket (not shown), which is disposed in the box body 9. The pump body 3 and the connecting pipe 4 are disposed in the box body 9, forming a relatively closed protective space inside the box body 9 to prevent external contaminants such as dust, dirt, and moisture from entering the pump body 3, the connecting pipe 4, the heater 5, and the transmission device 8, thereby ensuring that food meets hygienic requirements.
[0049] The pump body 3 and the connecting pipe 4 are both located on the bracket, which can support and fix the pump body 3 and the connecting pipe 4. The installation structure of the pump body 3 and the connecting pipe 4 is more stable and safer to use.
[0050] The pot cover mechanism also includes a spray head 6, such as Figure 8 and Figure 9 As shown, the spray head 6 includes a threaded pipe 61 and a spray cover 62 connected to each other. The threaded pipe 61 is connected to the supply pipe 2 (as shown in FIG. Figure 7 The water outlet end is connected to the spray cover 62 through the supply pipe 2 and the threaded pipe 61.
[0051] The spray hood 62 includes a cylindrical side wall 621 and an arc-shaped bottom wall 622 which are connected to each other. At least two outlet holes 623 are respectively provided on the cylindrical side wall 621 and the arc-shaped bottom wall 622. The water outlet directions of the at least two outlet holes 623 are different, and water can be added to the pot body 100 (as Figures 1 to 5 shown) from different directions, so that the water distribution is more uniform and the stability inside the pot body 100 is more uniform.
[0052] Note that the above is only the preferred embodiment of the present invention and the technical principles applied. Those skilled in the art will understand that the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments described herein. Various obvious changes, re-adjustments and substitutions can be made by those skilled in the art without departing from the protection scope of the present invention. Therefore, although the present invention has been described in more detail through the above embodiments, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments.
