Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of cooking utensils, and more particularly to an air fryer head and an air fryer that can be adapted to different containers. Background Art

[0002] Similar air fryers, often touted as portable and with detachable heads, have long been on the market. These products integrate the motor, fan, heating element, and control system into the head, while the cooking container (also known as the fryer) is separate. This means users can simply snap the head onto the container to start cooking and remove it when finished. While these products are convenient to use and clean, they currently suffer from safety issues. Primarily, the system fails to recognize when the head is removed from the container, posing a safety hazard. For example, if a user places the head on a table and plugs it in, it can still heat the air, potentially damaging furniture or causing a fire. Furthermore, these products are typically compact, with smaller containers. While this is intended for ease of operation, it becomes difficult to implement when users need to cook food in larger containers.

[0003] Patent CN217118206U discloses an air fryer, comprising a base, a machine head, and a micro-control assembly. The base is provided with a cooking chamber, a pot body is provided within the cooking chamber, and a hot air assembly is provided at the bottom of the machine head. Hot air generated by the hot air assembly is fed downwardly into the cooking chamber to cook the food in the pot. The micro-control assembly includes a micro switch and a transmission member. The transmission member has a horizontal stroke linked to the pot body and a vertical stroke linked to the machine head. When the pot body is installed and the machine head is closed, the transmission member triggers the micro switch after completing the horizontal and vertical strokes, thereby energizing the hot air assembly and effectively preventing the hot air assembly from starting when the pot body is not installed, ensuring safe use. However, in the above solution, the pot body is fixed in size, which cannot meet the needs of users who cook with containers of different sizes, and lacks flexibility in use. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of the utility model is to overcome the deficiency of the prior art that it cannot adapt to containers of different sizes, and to provide an air fryer head and an air fryer that can adapt to different containers, so that the head can be installed on containers of different sizes.

[0005] In order to solve the above technical problems, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is:

[0006] Provided is an air fryer head adaptable to different containers, comprising a shell, a working component, and a converter detachably connected to the shell, wherein a cavity is provided in the shell, the working component is installed in the cavity, and an opening communicating with the cavity is provided on the converter.

[0007] The air fryer head of the utility model can be adapted to different containers. When in use, the outer shell is placed on a container for holding food, or the outer shell is connected to a converter and then placed on the container. After the outer shell is connected to the converter, when the converter is placed on the container, the size of the container is not limited by the size of the head. By installing and removing the converter, the air fryer head can be adapted to containers of different sizes.

[0008] Furthermore, the converter includes an outer cover, an adapter ring, and a plurality of first elastic members. The outer cover is removably mounted on the bottom of the housing, and the opening is provided on the outer cover. One end of the first elastic member is connected to the inner wall of the outer cover, and the other end is connected to the adapter ring. After the housing and the converter are connected, when the converter is placed on a container, the first elastic member is compressed by the gravity of the housing, the working assembly, and the outer cover, and exerts a downward elastic force on the adapter ring, causing the adapter ring to press the container tightly and enhance the sealing performance. During the process of removing the handpiece, the adapter ring is affected by the elastic force of the first elastic member and will not immediately fall out of the container, thus preventing the user from being burned.

[0009] Furthermore, the housing is provided with a controller and a first push-button switch assembly that, when pressed, can activate the working assembly. Both the working assembly and the first push-button switch assembly are connected to the controller. When the housing is placed directly on a container, the container squeezes the first push-button switch assembly. When the housing is connected to a converter and the converter is placed on the container, the converter squeezes the first push-button switch assembly. When the container or converter squeezes the first push-button switch assembly, the first push-button switch assembly transmits a signal to the controller, which controls the working assembly to start cooking. When the handpiece is removed from the container, the housing or converter detaches from the container, and the container or converter no longer squeezes the first push-button switch assembly. The controller controls the working assembly to stop working, preventing the handpiece from continuing to operate after being removed or placed, thereby avoiding fire hazards and eliminating safety hazards.

[0010] Furthermore, the housing is provided with a second push-button switch assembly for changing the operating state of the working component. The second push-button switch assembly is connected to the controller, and the converter is provided with an adapter hole corresponding to the position of the second push-button switch assembly and capable of accommodating the second push-button switch assembly. When the housing is placed on a container, the container simultaneously squeezes the first and second push-button switch assemblies, causing the first push-button switch assembly to activate the working component. The second push-button switch assembly changes the operating state of the working component through the controller, causing the working component to enter the first cooking mode. After the housing is connected to the converter and the converter is placed on the container, the converter squeezes the first push-button switch assembly, activating the working component. Since the second push-button switch assembly passes through the adapter hole, it does not contact the converter and is not squeezed, causing the working state of the working component to change and enter the second cooking mode. When the converter is installed or removed to use containers of different sizes for cooking, the air fryer automatically activates different cooking modes.

[0011] Furthermore, at least two of the first push switch assemblies and the second push switch assemblies are provided. By providing two or more first push switch assemblies and second push switch assemblies, even if an individual first push switch assembly or second push switch assembly fails to operate normally, the other first push switch assemblies or second push switch assemblies can still function to control the operating assembly.

[0012] Furthermore, the first push switch assembly includes a second elastic member, a first contact rod, and a first microswitch. The first microswitch is connected to the controller, and one end of the second elastic member is connected to the first contact rod, and the other end is connected to the working assembly or the housing. When the housing is placed on the container, the first contact rod abuts the first microswitch, and the second elastic member is compressed. When the first push switch assembly is subjected to an upward force from below, the first contact rod moves upward relative to the housing, the second elastic member is compressed, and the first contact rod triggers the first microswitch. When the force applied to the first push switch assembly is removed, the second elastic member returns to its original shape, and the first contact rod is reset due to the elastic force of the second elastic member.

[0013] Furthermore, the second push switch assembly includes a third elastic member, a second contact rod, and a second microswitch. The second microswitch is connected to the controller. One end of the third elastic member is connected to the second contact rod, and the other end is connected to the operating assembly or the housing. When the housing is placed on the container, the second contact rod abuts the second microswitch, and the third elastic member is compressed. When the second push switch assembly is subjected to an upward force from below, the second contact rod moves upward relative to the housing, compressing the third elastic member and triggering the second microswitch. When the force applied to the second push switch assembly is removed, the third elastic member returns to its original shape and, under the elastic force of the third elastic member, the second contact rod returns to its original position.

[0014] Furthermore, the working component includes a cooling component and a hot air component, both of which are connected to the controller. When the working component is activated, the hot air component generates hot air to cook the food in the container, and the cooling component can reduce the operating temperature of the hot air component to improve safety.

[0015] The present invention also provides an air fryer, comprising an air fryer head as described above that can be adapted to different containers, a first container, and a second container, wherein the outer shell is placed on the first container, and the bottom of the outer shell abuts against the top of the first container; or the outer shell is connected to the converter, and the converter is placed on the second container, and the bottom of the converter abuts against the top of the second container.

[0016] The air fryer of the utility model can switch between the first container and the second container by removing or installing the converter to adapt to different cooking needs; after the shell is connected to the converter, when the converter is placed on the second container, the size of the second container is not limited by the size of the machine head.

[0017] Furthermore, the diameter of the first container is smaller than that of the second container, and the diameter of the bottom of the housing is smaller than that of the bottom of the converter, so that the air fryer can use a container with a diameter larger than that of the head for cooking, better meeting the cooking needs of users.

[0018] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0019] The air fryer head of the utility model can be adapted to different containers: 1. The head with the converter installed and the head without the converter installed can adapt to containers of different sizes to better meet user needs; 2. When the first container or the second container is not installed, the first press switch assembly is turned off and the head will not start running, eliminating safety hazards; 3. The working states of the head are different when the first container is installed and when the second container is installed, and different cooking modes can be adopted for containers of different sizes.

This is only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description, and does not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operate in a specific orientation. Therefore, the terms describing the position relationship in the drawings are only used for illustrative purposes and cannot be understood as limiting this patent. For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0028] Example 1

[0029] like Figures 1 to 5The figure shows a first embodiment of an air fryer head of the present invention that can be adapted to different containers, comprising a shell 1, a working component 2, and a converter 9 detachably connected to the shell 1. The working component 2 is installed in the shell 1, and the bottom of the converter 9 is lower than the bottom of the shell 1. The converter 9 is provided with an opening 911. The shell 1 is placed on a container 10 for holding food or the shell 1 is placed on the container 10 after being connected to the converter 9. The opening 911 connects the shell 1 with the container 10.

[0030] After the shell 1 is connected to the converter 9, when the converter 9 is placed on the container 10, the size of the container 10 is not limited by the size of the head. By installing and removing the converter 9, the air fryer can be adapted to containers 10 of different sizes.

[0031] In addition, the flexibility of the air fryer can be further improved by installing converters 9 of different sizes to adapt to containers 10 of different sizes.

[0032] The converter 9 includes an outer cover 91, an adapter ring 92, and a plurality of first elastic members 93. The outer cover 91 is detachably mounted on the bottom of the outer shell 1, and an opening 911 is provided on the outer cover 91. One end of the first elastic member 93 is connected to the inner wall of the outer cover 91, and the other end is connected to the adapter ring 92. After the outer shell 1 is connected to the converter 9, when the converter 9 is placed on the container 10, the first elastic member 93 is compressed under the gravity of the outer shell 1, the working assembly 2, and the outer cover 91, and exerts a downward elastic force on the adapter ring 92, so that the adapter ring 92 presses the container 10 tightly to enhance the sealing performance. In the process of removing the machine head, the adapter ring 92 is subjected to the elastic force of the first elastic member 93 and will not immediately separate from the container 10, which can prevent the hot air in the container 10 from being immediately released and causing burns to the user.

[0033] The working component 2 includes a cooling component 22 and a hot air component 21, both of which are connected to the controller 3. After the working component 2 is started, the hot air component 21 generates hot air to cook the food in the container 10, and the cooling component 22 can reduce the operating temperature of the hot air component 21 to improve safety.

[0034] The hot air assembly 21 includes a motor 211, a motor shaft 212, a reflective cover 213, a circulating fan blade 214 and a heating tube 215. The cooling assembly 22 is installed above the reflective cover 213, the motor 211 is installed above the reflective cover 213, the output end of the motor 211 is fixedly connected to the motor shaft 212, the motor shaft 212 passes through the reflective cover 213, the circulating fan blade 214 is fixedly connected to the outer periphery of the motor shaft 212 and is located in the reflective cover 213, and the heating tube 215 is installed in the reflective cover 213 and is located below the circulating fan blade 214.

[0035] When the hot air component 21 is started, the heating tube 215 generates heat, the motor 211 drives the motor shaft 212 to rotate, and drives the circulating fan blades 214 to rotate, so that the air flows downward quickly, passes through the heating tube 215, generates hot air, and cooks the food. The reflective cover 213 can make the heat of the heating tube 215 more concentrated, thereby improving the heating efficiency.

[0036] Cooling assembly 22 includes cooling blades 221, which are fixedly connected to the outer periphery of motor shaft 212 and located above reflector 213. Motor 211 drives motor shaft 212 to rotate, which in turn drives cooling blades 221, accelerating air flow above reflector 213 and improving heat dissipation from motor 211, preventing motor 211 from overheating and potentially causing malfunctions.

[0037] The working principle of the air fryer head of this embodiment that can adapt to different containers is as follows: when it is necessary to use a container 10 whose size matches the shell 1 for cooking, the shell 1 is directly placed on the top of the container 10; when it is necessary to use a container 10 whose size matches the converter 9 for cooking, the outer cover 91 is installed at the bottom of the shell 1, and then the shell 1 and the converter 9 are placed on the container 10, the adapter ring 92 is in contact with the container 10, and the first elastic member 93 is compressed under the action of the gravity of the shell 1, the working assembly 2 and the outer cover 91. The first elastic member 93 exerts a downward elastic force on the adapter ring 92, causing the adapter ring 92 to press the container 10 tightly. During the process of removing the handpiece, the first elastic member 93 first gradually returns to a free state, and then gradually stretches as the outer cover 91 moves. The pulling force of the first elastic member 93 on the adapter ring 92 gradually increases until the adapter ring 92 is separated from the container 10. Since the adapter ring 92 does not immediately separate from the container 10, it can prevent the user from getting too close to the container 10 when removing the handpiece, and the hot air in the container 10 suddenly being released, causing burns to the user.

[0038] When the working component 2 is working, the heating tube 215 starts to heat up, the motor 211 starts to run, and the motor 211 drives the motor shaft 212 to rotate, driving the circulating fan blades 214 and the cooling fan blades 221 to rotate; the circulating fan blades 214 generate downward airflow, and the reflective cover 213 collects the radiation of the heating tube 215, so that the heat of the heating tube 215 is concentrated below the reflective cover 213, thereby improving the heating efficiency. After the airflow is heated by the heating tube 215, hot air is generated to cook the food. The cooling fan blades 221 accelerate the air flow above the reflective cover 213, speeding up the heat dissipation speed of the motor 211, and preventing the motor 211 from overheating.

[0039] Example 2

[0040] This embodiment is a second embodiment of an air fryer head that can be adapted for different containers. This embodiment is similar to the first embodiment, except that the housing 1 further includes a controller 3 and a first push-button switch assembly 4 that, when pressed, activates the operating assembly 2. Both the operating assembly 2 and the first push-button switch assembly 4 are connected to the controller 3. When the housing 1 is placed directly on a container 10, the container 10 compresses the first push-button switch assembly 4. When the housing 1 is connected to a converter 9 and the converter 9 is placed on the container 10, the converter 9 compresses the first push-button switch assembly 4. When the container 10 or the converter 9 compresses the first push-button switch assembly 4, the first push-button switch assembly 4 transmits a signal to the controller 3, which activates the operating assembly 2 and initiates cooking. When the head is removed from the container 10, the housing 1 or the converter 9 separates from the container 10, and the container 10 or the converter 9 no longer compresses the first push-button switch assembly 4. The controller 3 then deactivates the operating assembly 2, preventing the head from continuing to operate after being removed or placed, thereby avoiding fire hazards and eliminating safety risks.

[0041] There are two or more first push switch assemblies 4. By providing two or more first push switch assemblies 4, even if an individual first push switch assembly 4 fails to work properly, the other first push switch assemblies 4 can still control the working assembly 2.

[0042] The first push switch assembly 4 includes a second elastic member 43, a first contact rod 41, and a first microswitch 42. The first microswitch 42 is connected to the controller 3. The second elastic member 43 is connected to the first contact rod 41 at one end and to the operating assembly 2 or the housing 1 at the other end. When the housing 1 is placed on the container 10, the first contact rod 41 abuts the first microswitch 42, and the second elastic member 43 is compressed. When the first push switch assembly 4 is subjected to an upward force from below, the first contact rod 41 moves upward relative to the housing 1, compressing the second elastic member 43 and causing the first contact rod 41 to contact the first microswitch 42. When the force applied to the first push switch assembly 4 is removed, the second elastic member 43 returns to its original shape. The elastic force of the second elastic member 43 causes the first contact rod 41 to reset and disengage from the first microswitch 42, causing the first microswitch 42 to stop sending signals to the controller 3. In this embodiment, the second elastic member 43 is a spring.

[0043] The first push switch assembly 4 and the second push switch assembly 5, which can control the working assembly 2 through the controller 3 when squeezed and automatically restore to their original state when not subject to external force, are both applicable to the present invention. The first push switch assembly 4 and the second push switch assembly 5 listed in this embodiment are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0044] The working principle of the air fryer head that can adapt to different containers in this embodiment is as follows:

[0045] When it is necessary to use a container 10 whose size matches the shell 1 for cooking, the shell 1 is placed directly on the top of the container 10, the container 10 squeezes the first push switch assembly 4, the first touch rod 41 moves upward relative to the shell 1, the second elastic member 43 is compressed, the first touch rod 41 touches the first micro switch 42, and the first micro switch 42 controls the working component 2 to start through the controller 3 to start cooking; when it is necessary to use a container 10 whose size matches the converter 9 for cooking, the shell 1 is connected to the converter 9, and then the converter 9 is placed on the container 10, the converter 9 squeezes the first push switch assembly 4, and the working component 2 is started; after the shell 1 and the converter 9 are removed, the container 10 or the converter 9 no longer squeezes the first push switch assembly 4, the second elastic member 43 returns to its original shape, and under the elastic force of the second elastic member 43, the first touch rod 41 resets and disengages from the first micro switch 42, the first micro switch 42 stops sending signals to the controller 3, and the controller 3 controls the working component 2 to shut down, preventing the working component 2 from continuing to operate in the machine head that is still powered, thereby eliminating safety hazards.

[0046] Example 3

[0047] This embodiment is the third embodiment of the air fryer head of the present invention that can be adapted to different containers. This embodiment is similar to the second embodiment, except that a second push switch assembly 5 for changing the working state of the working component 2 is further provided in the housing 1. The second push switch assembly 5 is connected to the controller 3, and an adapter hole 921 corresponding to the position of the second push switch assembly 5 and allowing the second push switch assembly 5 to pass through is provided on the converter 9. When the housing 1 is placed on the container 10, the container 10 squeezes the first push switch assembly 4 and the second push switch assembly 5 at the same time. The first push switch assembly 4 controls the start-up of the working component 2, and the second push switch assembly 5 changes the working state of the working component 2 through the controller 3, and the working component 2 enters the first cooking mode, such as Figure 4 As shown; after the housing 1 is connected to the converter 9, when the converter 9 is placed on the container 10, the converter 9 squeezes the first press switch component 4, and the working component 2 is started. Since the second press switch component 5 passes through the adapter hole 921, the second press switch component 5 does not contact the converter 9 and is not squeezed. The working state of the working component 2 changes, and the working component 2 enters the second cooking mode, as shown. Figure 5 As shown, the air fryer automatically activates different cooking modes when installing or removing the converter 9 to use containers 10 of different sizes. In this embodiment, the second push-button switch assembly 5 changes the operating state of the working assembly 2 by controlling the power of the motor and heating tube. In the second cooking mode, the power of the motor 211 and heating tube 215 is higher than that of the motor 211 and heating tube 215 in the first cooking mode.

[0048] The second push switch assembly 5 includes a third elastic member 53, a second contact rod 51, and a second microswitch 52. The second microswitch 52 is connected to the controller 3. One end of the third elastic member 53 is connected to the second contact rod 51, and the other end is connected to the operating assembly 2 or the housing 1. When the housing 1 is placed on the container 10, the second contact rod 51 abuts the second microswitch 52, and the third elastic member 53 is compressed. When the second push switch assembly 5 is subjected to an upward force from below, the second contact rod 51 moves upward relative to the housing 1, compressing the third elastic member 53 and causing the second contact rod 51 to trigger the second microswitch 52. When the force applied to the second push switch assembly 5 is removed, the third elastic member 53 returns to its original shape. The elastic force of the third elastic member 53 causes the second contact rod 51 to reset and disengage from the second microswitch 52, causing the second microswitch 52 to stop sending signals to the controller 3. In this embodiment, the third elastic member 53 is a spring.

[0049] Any second push switch assembly 5 that can control the working assembly 2 through the controller 3 when squeezed and automatically restores its original state when not subjected to external force can be applied to the present invention. The second push switch assembly 5 listed in this embodiment is not intended to limit the present invention.

[0050] In this embodiment, Figure 3 As shown, the outer side of the reflector 213 is provided with a plurality of bosses 7, the first micro switch 42 and the second micro switch 52 are respectively arranged at the bottom of the plurality of bosses 7, the first touch rod 41 and the second touch rod 51 are provided with a limit block, and the bottom of the reflector 213 is provided with a first platform 6 extending in all directions, and the first platform 6 is provided with a plurality of through holes. When the second container 4 is not installed, the first touch rod 41 and the second touch rod 51 are located below the limit block and pass through the plurality of through holes. The longest line segment length on the bottom surface of the limit block is greater than the diameter of the through hole, which plays a role in the first touch rod 41 and the second touch rod. The rod 51 has a limiting function, and the bottom height of the first touch rod 41 and the second touch rod 51 is higher than the bottom height of the housing 1; the second elastic member 43 and the third elastic member 53 are respectively mounted on the first touch rod 41 and the second touch rod 51, and are located above the limit block. The outer side of the reflector 213 is provided with a spring bracket 8, and the tops of the second elastic member 43 and the third elastic member 53 are fixedly connected to the spring bracket 8, and their bottoms abut against the limit block; the first touch rod 41 is located directly below the second micro switch 52, and the second touch rod 51 is located directly below the second micro switch 52.

[0051] In this embodiment, Figure 2As shown, the adapter ring 92 is a square ring with a vertical side wall. The bottom of the adapter ring 92 is provided with a second platform 922 extending in all directions. The outer diameter of the second platform 922 is larger than the diameter of the bottom of the shell 1 and smaller than the diameter of the bottom of the outer cover 91. When the converter 9 is placed on the container 10, the container 10 abuts against the lower surface of the second platform 922. The adapter hole 921 is provided at the top of the adapter ring 92. One end of the first elastic member 93 is connected to the upper surface of the second platform 922, and the other end is connected to the lower surface of the top of the outer cover 91. The first elastic member 93 is a spring.

[0052] The working principle of the air fryer head that can adapt to different containers in this embodiment is as follows:

[0053] When the housing 1 is not placed on the container 10 and the housing 1 is not connected to the converter 9, the second elastic member 43 and the third elastic member 53 are in an extended state under the action of the gravity of the first touch rod 41 and the second touch rod 51. The bottoms of the first touch rod 41 and the second touch rod 51 pass through the through hole, and the limit block prevents the first touch rod 41 and the second touch rod 51 from being too low and exposed from the bottom of the housing 1; when the housing 1 is closed on the container 10, the top of the container 10 simultaneously presses the first touch rod 41 and the second touch rod 51, causing the first touch rod 41 and the second touch rod 51 to move upward, the limit block and the bracket move toward each other, and the relative distance between the upper surface of the limit block and the lower surface of the bracket is shortened, and the second elastic member 43 and the third elastic member 53 are compressed until the first micro switch 42 and the second micro switch 52 are triggered respectively. The first micro switch 42 and the second micro switch 52 transmit signals to the controller 3, starting the working assembly 2 and entering the first cooking mode; after the housing 1 is removed, the second elastic member 43 and the third elastic member 53 return to the extended state, and the first touch rod 41 Under the action of elastic force and its own gravity, the first micro switch 42 and the second micro switch 52 are separated from the second micro switch 52 and the second touch rod 51, and the working assembly 2 is closed; the outer cover 91 of the converter 9 is fixedly installed on the bottom of the shell 1. When the shell 1 and the converter 9 are covered on the top of the container 10, the lower surface of the second platform 922 at the bottom of the adapter ring 92 abuts against the top of the container 10. Under the action of the gravity of the shell 1 and the outer cover 91, the first elastic member 93 is compressed, and the first touch rod 41 and the second touch rod 51 move downward. , the adapter ring 92 passes through the opening 211, the top of the adapter ring 92 squeezes the first touch rod 41, the second touch rod 51 passes through the adapter hole 921, the first touch rod 41 touches the first micro switch 42, the working component 2 starts, the second micro switch 52 is not triggered, the working component 2 enters the second cooking mode, the power of the motor 211 and the heating tube 215 increases to adapt to the change in container size; after the machine head is removed, the first touch rod 41 and the adapter ring 92 are reset under the action of elastic force and their own gravity, and the working component 2 stops working.

[0054] Example 4

[0055] This embodiment is the first embodiment of the air fryer of the present invention, including the air fryer head that can adapt to different containers, the first container 101 and the second container 102 as described in the third embodiment, the shell 1 is placed on the first container 101, and the bottom of the shell 1 abuts against the top of the first container 101; or the shell 1 is connected to the converter 9, and the converter 9 is placed on the second container 102, and the bottom of the converter 9 abuts against the top of the second container 102.

[0056] The air fryer of the present invention can switch between the first container 101 and the second container 102 by removing or installing the converter 9 to adapt to different cooking needs; after the shell 1 is connected to the converter 9, when the converter 9 is placed on the second container 102, the diameter of the second container 102 is not limited by the diameter of the machine head.

[0057] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the diameter of the first container 101 is smaller than the diameter of the second container 102, and the diameter of the bottom of the housing 1 is smaller than the diameter of the bottom of the converter 9. The air fryer can use a container 10 with a diameter larger than the head for cooking, which better meets the cooking needs of users.

[0058] The working principle of the air fryer head that can adapt to different containers in this embodiment is as follows: when it is necessary to use a container 10 with a diameter similar to that of the outer shell for cooking, the outer shell is directly covered on the first container 101, and the first container 101 simultaneously triggers the first press switch assembly 4 and the second press switch assembly 5, and the working assembly 2 enters the first cooking mode; when it is necessary to use a container 10 with a larger diameter that cannot be covered by the outer shell 1 for cooking, the outer cover 91 of the converter 9 is installed on the bottom of the outer shell 1, and the outer shell 1 and the converter 9 are covered on the second container 102, the adapter ring 92 is in contact with the second container 102, and the outer shell 1 and the outer cover 91 move downward due to gravity, the first press switch assembly 4 is squeezed by the adapter ring 92, and the second press switch assembly 5 passes through the adapter hole 921 and is not triggered, and the working assembly 2 enters the second cooking mode.
