DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0027] To make the purpose, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this application more clear, the technical solutions of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of this application, not all of them. Based on the embodiments in this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative work are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0028] To facilitate understanding of this embodiment, the application scenarios and design concepts of the embodiment of this application are briefly introduced below.

[0029] The handles in existing cooking devices have a single function and are only used by users to grasp to open the pot lid. When the automatic cooking pot needs to be replenished with water during automatic cooking, it cannot provide water replenishment and requires external pipes and water sources for water replenishment. The structure is complex and the pipe connection operation is time-consuming.

[0030] Based on this, embodiments of the present application provide a handle, an automatic cooking pot, and an automatic cooking system.

[0031] Example 1

[0032] The present application provides a handle, which is fixed on the lid 8 of an automatic cooking pot. The handle includes a handle body 1 and a handle cover 2. The handle body 1 and the handle cover 2 together form a water storage space 3. The handle body 1 is an arc-shaped structure. The water storage space 3 includes a first water storage space 31 at a first height and a second water storage space 32 at a second height located inside the handle body 1. The first water storage space 31 and the second water storage space 32 are connected through a water flow channel 33; wherein the first height is greater than the second height.

[0033] The handle provided in the embodiment of the present application has a water storage space 3 to store water added to the automatic cooking pot, without the need for external pipes and water storage mechanisms. The integrated structure has good stability and is convenient for water replenishment during automatic cooking.

[0034] Combined with the first aspect, such as Figure 1 As shown, a water inlet 4 is provided on the top of the handle cover 2 , and the water inlet 4 is connected to the first water storage space 31 .

[0035] The first water storage space 31 is located at a higher first height, while the second water storage space 32 is located at a lower second height. The water inlet 4 is connected to the first water storage space 31. Thus, water injected into the first water storage space 31 flows along the water flow channel 33 to the second water storage space 32 under the action of gravity. As the amount of water injected increases, the water level gradually rises.

[0036] In combination with the first aspect, the handle further includes: a main control 5 , which is arranged in the handle and isolated from the water storage space 3 .

[0037] In combination with the first aspect, a through hole (not shown in the figure) communicating with the automatic cooking pot is opened at the bottom of the handle body 1 , and a valve 6 is provided in the through hole, and the valve 6 is connected to the main control 5 .

[0038] In this embodiment, a main control 5 is located within the handle, controlling the opening and closing angles of a valve 6 to enhance automation. It is understood that the main control 5 can also serve as a control mechanism for the automatic cooking pot, allowing the user to control the operation of the automatic cooking pot. It is understood that the main control 5 can be one or more of a main controller, a main control chip, or other key components in the appliance control system, and further details are omitted here.

[0039] In combination with the first aspect, the valve 6 is a flow water valve.

[0040] In this way, not only can the water flow to the cooking space be adjusted by adjusting the opening and closing angle of the valve 6, but the water flow can also be detected through the valve 6 and fed back to the main control 5, so that the main control 5 can control the amount of water to be replenished.

[0041] In combination with the first aspect, the handle further includes: a hollow portion 7 .

[0042] The hollow portion 7 is formed on the handle body 1 , and a side of the hollow portion 7 away from the handle cover 2 has a curved portion 71 .

[0043] As an implementable manner, the outer contour of the handle body 1 is a solid structure, and the user grasps the handle body 1 to adjust the matching state between the automatic cooking pot and the pot cover 8.

[0044] In this embodiment, the handle body 1 is provided with a hollow portion 7 for easy gripping by the user. The user's fingers pass through the through hole and the palm of the hand fits against the handle body 1 for gripping. In this embodiment, the hollow portion 7 has a curved portion 71 on the side away from the handle cover 2. The curved portion 71 makes gripping more convenient, fits the palm better, and improves the aesthetics.

[0045] In combination with the first aspect, the bottom end of the curved portion 71 is connected to the horizontal portion 72 .

[0046] In this embodiment, the horizontal portion 72 is connected to the bottom end of the curved portion 71 , providing partial support when the user grasps the hollow portion 7 .

[0047] In combination with the first aspect, the handle cover 2 is detachably connected to the handle body 1 .

[0048] In this way, the handle cover 2 can be disassembled to inject water into the handle body 1 or clean the water storage space 3 in the handle body 1.

[0049] There are many ways to fix the handle to the pot lid 8. The bottom surface of the handle can be completely in contact with the top surface of the pot lid 8; the two ends of the handle can be fixedly connected to the pot lid 8 and the middle section can be separated to form an arched structure; or one end can be fixed and the other end can be open. All of the above methods are acceptable, as long as the valve 6 is opened and the water storage space 3 of the handle is connected to the cooking space through the through hole. In this embodiment, the bottom surface of the handle is completely in contact with the top surface of the pot lid 8, such as Figure 3 shown.

[0050] It is understandable that the pot cover 8 should also be provided with air holes for releasing the steam generated during the cooking process to the external environment.

[0051] In the second aspect, the present application provides an automatic cooking pot, comprising an automatic cooking pot, a pot cover 8 (combined with Figure 4 as shown) and a handle as described above.

[0052] It can be understood that a pot cover 8 is provided at the top of the automatic cooking pot, and the pot cover 8 is rotatably connected to the automatic cooking pot. The pot cover 8 is provided with the above-mentioned handle. The user grasps the handle and applies a pulling force to pull the pot cover 8 to rotate relative to the automatic cooking pot, so as to connect the cooking space with the external environment.

[0053] At this point, the user adds ingredients, seasonings, and cooking water to the cooking space based on the target recipe information, then closes lid 8 to seal the cooking space. The automatic cooking pot is activated to automatically cook. When water is needed, the cooking space can be refilled by adjusting the opening and closing angle of valve 6 without interrupting automatic cooking or opening lid 8.

[0054] In combination with the first aspect, the automatic cooking pot further includes: a stirring mechanism 9 .

[0055] A stirring mechanism is provided on the inner side of the pot cover 8 , and the stirring mechanism is used to stir the food and / or water flow in the automatic cooking pot.

[0056] It is understandable that when the main control 5 is used as the control mechanism of the automatic cooking pot, the main control 5 should also be connected to the stirring mechanism 9 to control the operating state of the stirring mechanism 9. When the valve 6 is a flow valve, the control logic diagram of the automatic cooking pot is as follows: Figure 2 shown.

[0057] In combination with the first aspect, the stirring mechanism 9 includes: a stirring motor (not shown in the figure), a stirring shaft (not shown in the figure) and a stirring shovel (not shown in the figure);

[0058] The stirring shaft input end is connected to the stirring motor.

[0059] The stirring shovel is arranged at the output end of the stirring shaft. Driven by the stirring motor, the stirring shaft rotates to drive the stirring shovel to stir the food and / or water flow.

[0060] The stirring motor is started to drive the stirring shaft to rotate, which drives the stirring shovel at the output end of the stirring shaft to rotate, thereby stirring the ingredients in the cooking space.

[0061] When the valve 6 is opened to supply water to the cooking space, the stirring shaft rotates continuously to stir and mix the supplementary water flow with the food.

[0062] In combination with the first aspect, a power supply module 10 is provided in the automatic cooking pot, and the power supply module 10 is also electrically connected to the valve 6 on the handle.

[0063] In this embodiment, a power supply module 10 is provided in the automatic cooking pot. The power supply module 10 may be a power supply battery pack or a power supply circuit structure connected to an external power supply line. Since the water replenishment demand is not large and the power consumption of the valve 6 is not large, the additional external power supply module 10 may easily lead to a complicated structure. Therefore, in order to simplify the structure, the valve 6 can be electrically connected to the power supply module 10 in the automatic cooking pot.

[0064] In a third aspect, an embodiment of the present application provides an automatic cooking system, comprising a main control mechanism and one or more automatic cooking pots as described above.

[0065] The main control mechanism is connected with all the automatic cooking pots and is used for controlling all the automatic cooking pots.
