Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of small household appliances, and in particular to a pot body assembly and a cooking utensil having the same. Background Art

[0002] In related technologies, a steaming tray structure is integrated into the pot body. This design allows users to cook multiple foods simultaneously in the same pot, significantly improving cooking efficiency. This cooking method primarily utilizes the heat of steam to steam the food. To ensure that the steam can rise smoothly and continuously heat the food in the steaming tray structure, the steaming tray structure is usually designed with special airflow holes. These airflow holes allow steam to pass from the bottom of the steaming tray structure and rise to the top of the steaming tray structure.

[0003] To further optimize the cooking process, the pot can be designed to contain multiple independent cooking chambers, each of which can be used to cook different ingredients. In this design, air holes usually connect the various chambers of the pot, which can cause different ingredients in different chambers to cross-flavor, affecting the flavor and taste of the food. Utility Model Content

[0004] The main purpose of the present invention is to provide a pot body assembly and a cooking utensil having the same, so as to solve the problem in the related art that the arrangement of the air flow holes may cause the flavors of different foods in different chambers to cross-contaminate each other.

[0005] In order to achieve the above-mentioned purpose, according to one aspect of the present invention, a pot body assembly is provided, including: a pot body body, having a accommodating cavity; a dividing rib, which is arranged in the pot body and divides the accommodating cavity into a plurality of independent sub-cavities; a steaming plate, including a plurality of steaming grids corresponding one-to-one to the plurality of sub-cavities and a connecting part connected to the top of the plurality of steaming grids, the dividing rib is supported below the connecting part, each steaming grid has a first side wall close to the dividing rib and a second side wall away from the dividing rib, and the second side wall is concave to form a flow channel connecting the top of the steaming grid and the corresponding sub-cavity.

[0006] Using the technical solution of the present invention, the dividing ribs divide the accommodating cavity of the pot body into multiple independent sub-cavities. Different sub-cavities can be used to place different foods, thereby improving cooking efficiency. The steaming tray is arranged above the pot body and has multiple steaming grids. Different foods can also be placed in different steaming grids, further improving cooking efficiency. The second side wall, which is located away from the dividing ribs, is concave to form a flow channel, thereby allowing steam in the sub-cavities to flow upward to the top of the steaming tray through the flow channel on the corresponding steaming grid. The flow channel is formed by the concave second side wall, so that the flow channel is located away from the dividing ribs, that is, away from the intersection of two adjacent sub-cavities. Therefore, after steam flows upward through the flow channel, it is difficult to flow into the adjacent sub-cavity, thereby reducing the exchange of steam between adjacent sub-cavities and the possibility of food in adjacent sub-cavities transferring flavors. Therefore, the technical solution of the present application can effectively solve the problem in the related art that the arrangement of air flow holes can cause different foods in different cavities to transfer flavors.

[0007] Furthermore, the connecting portion includes a first intermediate connecting plate corresponding to the dividing ribs and a first annular connecting plate arranged around the periphery of the multiple steaming trays. The first annular connecting plate is provided with flow holes corresponding to the flow channels, and the flow holes form handle holes. The flow holes provided on the first annular connecting plate correspond to the flow channels, ensuring the unobstructed flow path of the steam, allowing the steam to move smoothly upward. Furthermore, the flow holes can also be used as handle holes, enabling reuse of the flow holes and facilitating the user's placement and removal of the steaming tray.

[0008] Furthermore, the first annular connecting plate includes a first transverse enclosure connected to the outer periphery of the plurality of steaming trays, a first vertical enclosure connected to the outer end of the first transverse enclosure and extending upward, and a second transverse enclosure connected to the upper end of the first vertical enclosure and extending outward. The flow holes are provided on the first transverse enclosure. The supportive cooperation between the first annular connecting plate and the support step on the pot body, as well as the supportive cooperation between the first intermediate connecting plate and the dividing rib, enables the steaming tray to be stably placed within the pot body.

[0009] Furthermore, the first annular connecting plate includes a third transverse panel connected to the outer periphery of the multiple steaming trays and a first bead connected to the outer periphery of the third transverse panel. The flow holes are provided on the third transverse panel, and the first bead extends downward and inward. The first bead prevents the ends of the first annular connecting plate from being exposed, effectively preventing burrs formed during processing from injuring users. Furthermore, the first bead allows for a larger transverse cross-sectional area of ​​the steaming trays, thereby increasing the steaming tray capacity.

[0010] Furthermore, the flow hole is an elliptical hole. This arrangement allows for a smooth transition inside the flow hole, preventing sharp corners from scratching the user. Furthermore, the elliptical hole is an elongated strip, making it easier for the user to bend their finger inside the flow hole to pull up the first annular connecting plate, thus facilitating user use.

[0011] Furthermore, the connecting portion includes a second intermediate connecting plate corresponding to the dividing ribs and a second annular connecting plate arranged around the periphery of the multiple steaming trays. The second annular connecting plate is concavely arranged to correspond to the flow channel, forming a flow notch that communicates with the flow channel, and the flow notch forms a handle. The second annular connecting plate is concavely arranged to form a flow notch corresponding to the flow channel, ensuring the patency of the steam flow path and ensuring that the steam can move upward smoothly. In addition, the flow notch can also be used as a handle, realizing the reuse of the flow notch and making it easier for users to place or remove the steaming tray.

[0012] Furthermore, the second annular connecting plate includes a fourth transverse enclosing plate connected to the outer periphery of the plurality of steaming trays, a second vertical enclosing plate connected to the outer end of the fourth transverse enclosing plate and extending upward, and a fifth transverse enclosing plate connected to the upper end of the second vertical enclosing plate and extending outward. The fourth transverse enclosing plate, the second vertical enclosing plate, and the fifth transverse enclosing plate are all recessed at locations corresponding to the flow passages to form flow gaps. The supportive cooperation between the second annular connecting plate and the support steps on the pot body, as well as the supportive cooperation between the second intermediate connecting plate and the dividing ribs, enables the steaming tray to be stably placed within the pot body.

[0013] Furthermore, the second annular connecting plate includes a sixth transverse panel connected to the outer periphery of the multiple steaming trays, and a second bead connected to the outer periphery of the sixth transverse panel. The second bead extends downward and inward. Both the sixth transverse panel and the second bead are recessed inward at locations corresponding to the flow passages to form flow gaps. The second bead prevents the ends of the second annular connecting plate from being exposed, effectively preventing burrs formed during processing from injuring users. Furthermore, the second bead allows for a larger transverse cross-sectional area of ​​the steaming trays, thereby increasing the steaming tray capacity.

[0014] Furthermore, the flow-through notch is an arc-shaped notch. This arrangement creates a smooth transition around the outside of the flow-through notch, preventing sharp corners from causing scratches. Furthermore, the arc-shaped notch and the inner sidewall of the pot body form an elongated hole structure, making it easier for the user to bend their fingers within the hole to lift the second annular connecting plate, thus facilitating user use.

[0015] According to another aspect of the present invention, a cooking utensil is provided, comprising a pot assembly, wherein the pot assembly is the pot assembly described above. The pot assembly described above can effectively solve the problem in the related art where the provision of airflow holes can cause odor transfer between different foods in different chambers. The cooking utensil having the pot assembly described above also has the aforementioned advantages. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0034] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are only some embodiments of the present invention, not all embodiments. The following description of at least one exemplary embodiment is actually only illustrative and is in no way intended to limit the present invention and its application or use. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0035] It should be noted that the terms used herein are only for describing specific embodiments and are not intended to limit the exemplary embodiments according to the present application. As used herein, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise, the singular form is also intended to include the plural form. In addition, it should be understood that when the terms "comprise" and / or "include" are used in this specification, they indicate the presence of features, steps, operations, devices, components and / or combinations thereof.

[0036] Unless otherwise specifically stated, the relative arrangement of the parts and steps, numerical expressions and numerical values ​​set forth in these embodiments do not limit the scope of the present invention. At the same time, it should be understood that, for ease of description, the sizes of the various parts shown in the accompanying drawings are not drawn according to actual proportional relationships. The technology, methods and equipment known to those of ordinary skill in the relevant art may not be discussed in detail, but in appropriate cases, the technology, methods and equipment should be considered as part of the specification. In all examples shown and discussed here, any specific value should be interpreted as being merely exemplary, rather than as a limitation. Therefore, other examples of the exemplary embodiments may have different values. It should be noted that similar numbers and letters represent similar items in the following figures, and therefore, once an item is defined in one figure, it does not need to be further discussed in subsequent figures.

[0037] Specifically, for a pot body assembly having multiple chambers and a steaming tray structure having multiple steaming grids, the air flow holes are generally arranged at the position of the partition inside the pot body, that is, the space above the steaming grid structure and the chambers on both sides of the partition are connected. Since steam molecules will diffuse, part of the steam will enter the adjacent chamber through the air flow holes, thereby causing the food in the two chambers to cross-flavor each other, affecting the flavor and taste of the food.

[0038] In order to solve the above problems, the present application provides a pot assembly, wherein: Figures 1 to 3 A schematic structural diagram of a first embodiment of a pot assembly according to the present application is shown; Figures 4 and 5 A schematic structural diagram of a second embodiment of a pot assembly according to the present application is shown; Figures 6 and 7 FIG2 shows a structural schematic diagram of a third embodiment of a pot assembly according to the present application; Figures 8 and 9 A structural schematic diagram of a fourth embodiment of a pot body assembly according to the present application is shown.

[0039] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the first embodiment of the pot assembly of the present application includes: a pot body 10, a dividing rib 20, and a steaming tray 30. The pot body 10 has a receiving cavity 1; the dividing rib 20 is disposed within the pot body 10 and divides the receiving cavity 1 into a plurality of mutually independent sub-cavities 101; the steaming tray 30 includes a plurality of steaming grids 31 corresponding one-to-one to the plurality of sub-cavities 101, and a connecting portion 32 connected above the plurality of steaming grids 31. The dividing rib 20 is supported below the connecting portion 32. Each steaming grid 31 has a first side wall 311 proximal to the dividing rib 20 and a second side wall 312 distal to the dividing rib 20. The second side wall 312 is concave to form a flow channel 33 connecting the top of the steaming grid 31 and the corresponding sub-cavity 101.

[0040] By applying the technical solution of this embodiment, the dividing ribs 20 divide the accommodating cavity 1 of the pot body 10 into a plurality of independent sub-cavities 101. Different sub-cavities 101 can be used to place different foods to improve cooking efficiency. The steaming plate 30 is arranged above the pot body 10 and has a plurality of steaming grids 31. Different foods can also be placed in different steaming grids 31 to further improve cooking efficiency. The second side wall 312, which is located away from the dividing rib 20, is concave to form a flow channel 33, so that the steam in the sub-cavity 101 can flow upward to the top of the steaming plate 30 through the flow channel 33 on the corresponding steaming grid 31. The flow channel 33 is formed by the concave second side wall 312, so that the flow channel 33 is located away from the dividing rib 20, that is, away from the intersection of two adjacent sub-cavities 101. After the steam flows upward through the flow channel 33, it is difficult to flow into the adjacent sub-cavity 101, thereby reducing the possibility of steam exchange between adjacent sub-cavities 101 and the possibility of food in adjacent sub-cavities 101 odor-crossing. Therefore, the technical solution of this embodiment can effectively solve the problem in the related art that the setting of the air flow holes causes different foods in different cavities to odor-cross.

[0041] It should be noted that the concave portion of the second side wall 312 as described above, “the second side wall 312 is concave to form the flow channel 33 ”, refers to the concavity of the second side wall 312 toward the inner side of the steaming tray 31 .

[0042] Specifically, in this embodiment, the steaming tray 31 is open only on its top. That is, the sidewalls and bottom of the steaming tray 31 are completely enclosed and lack any holes, allowing the steaming tray 31 to be used directly for placing food. The heating principle for the food in the steaming tray 30 of this embodiment is as follows: the pot body 10 is heated, and the liquid in the pot body 10 is heated to form water vapor. The water vapor contacts the bottom and sidewalls of the steaming tray 31, transferring heat to the steaming tray 31, thereby heating the food in the steaming tray 31. Simultaneously, the water vapor flows upward through the flow channel 33 and flow holes 34 to the top of the steaming tray 30, and then is discharged through the exhaust pipe on the lid assembly 50.

[0043] Specifically, the flow channel 33 in this embodiment is arranged so that the flow hole 34 does not span two sub-cavities 101 at the same time, which can effectively reduce the situation where the airflow in the two adjacent sub-cavities 101 mixes and causes odor cross-contamination.

[0044] Specifically, in this embodiment, the partition rib 20 is supported below the connecting portion 32, so that the lower surface of the connecting portion 32 and the upper surface of the partition rib 20 abut against each other, thereby achieving the function of spacing the adjacent sub-cavities 101, so that each sub-cavity 101 forms a mutually independent space, and each sub-cavity 101 can be connected to the top of the corresponding steaming grid 31 through the flow channel 33, ensuring that the steam can flow smoothly upward.

[0045] Specifically, in this embodiment, there are two sub-cavities 101 and two steaming racks 31. Of course, in an embodiment not shown in the figures, there may be three or more sub-cavities and two steaming racks.

[0046] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the connecting portion 32 includes a first intermediate connecting plate 321 corresponding to the separating rib 20 and a first annular connecting plate 322 arranged around the outer periphery of the plurality of steaming trays 31. The first annular connecting plate 322 is provided with a flow hole 34 corresponding to the flow channel 33, and the flow hole 34 forms a handle hole. The separating rib 20 is supported below the first intermediate connecting plate 321, and the first annular connecting plate 322 is provided with a flow hole 34 corresponding to the flow channel 33, to ensure the patency of the steam flow path and to ensure that the steam can move upward smoothly. In addition, the flow hole 34 can also be used as a handle hole, realizing the reuse of the flow hole 34, making it convenient for users to place or remove the steaming tray 30 without having to provide an additional handle structure, thereby simplifying the structure of the steaming tray 30.

[0047] It should be noted that the above “the flow hole 34 forms a handle hole” means that the user can put his finger downward through the flow hole 34 and lift the first annular connecting plate 322 .

[0048] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the first annular connecting plate 322 includes a first transverse enclosing plate 3221 connected to the outer periphery of the plurality of steaming trays 31, a first vertical enclosing plate 3222 connected to the outer end of the first transverse enclosing plate 3221 and extending upward, and a second transverse enclosing plate 3223 connected to the upper end of the first vertical enclosing plate 3222 and extending outward. The flow holes 34 are provided on the first transverse enclosing plate 3221. This arrangement enables the first annular connecting plate 322 to rest on a support step formed on the inner sidewall of the pot body 10. Through the supportive cooperation between the first annular connecting plate 322 and the support step on the pot body 10, as well as the supportive cooperation between the first intermediate connecting plate 321 and the dividing rib 20, the steaming tray 30 can be stably placed within the pot body 10.

[0049] like Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, the flow hole 34 is an elliptical hole. This elliptical shape provides a smooth transition inside the flow hole 34, preventing sharp corners from scratching the user. Furthermore, the elliptical hole is an elongated structure, making it easier for the user to bend their finger inside the flow hole 34 to pull up the first annular connecting plate 322, thus facilitating user use.

[0050] Figures 4 and 5 A structural schematic diagram of a second embodiment of a pot body assembly according to the present application is shown. The following mainly describes the parts of the second embodiment that are different from the first embodiment in conjunction with the drawings, and the same parts of the two embodiments are not repeated.

[0051] Specifically, the difference between this embodiment and the first embodiment mainly lies in the different structure of the first annular connecting plate 322 .

[0052] like Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the first annular connecting plate 322 includes a third transverse panel 3224 connected to the periphery of the plurality of steaming trays 31, and a first bead 3225 connected to the periphery of the third transverse panel 3224. The flow holes 34 are provided on the third transverse panel 3224, and the first bead 3225 extends downward and inward. The first bead 3225 extending downward and inward on the periphery of the third transverse panel 3224 prevents the end of the first annular connecting plate 322 from being exposed, effectively preventing burrs formed during processing from injuring users. Furthermore, the first bead 3225 occupies less space in the transverse direction, allowing the transverse cross-sectional area of ​​the steaming tray 31 to be larger, thereby increasing the steaming tray 31's capacity.

[0053] like Figure 5 As shown, the first curled edge 3225 first extends downward, then extends inward, and finally extends upward, so that the end of the first annular connecting plate 322 can be better hidden to avoid scratching the user.

[0054] Figures 6 and 7 A structural schematic diagram of a third embodiment of the pot body assembly according to the present application is shown. The following mainly describes the parts of the third embodiment that are different from the first embodiment in conjunction with the drawings, and the same parts of the two embodiments are not repeated.

[0055] Specifically, the difference between this embodiment and the first embodiment mainly lies in the difference in the structure of the connecting portion 32 corresponding to the flow channel 33 .

[0056] like Figure 6 and Figure 7As shown, the connecting portion 32 includes a second intermediate connecting plate 323 corresponding to the separating rib 20 and a second annular connecting plate 324 arranged around the outer periphery of the plurality of steaming trays 31. The second annular connecting plate 324 is concavely arranged corresponding to the flow channel 33 to form a flow notch 35 connected to the flow channel 33, and the flow notch 35 forms a handle opening. The separating rib 20 is supported below the second intermediate connecting plate 323, and the second annular connecting plate 324 is concavely arranged to form a flow notch 35 corresponding to the flow channel 33, thereby ensuring the patency of the steam flow path and ensuring that the steam can move upward smoothly. In addition, the flow notch 35 can also be used as a handle opening, realizing the reuse of the flow notch 35, making it convenient for users to place or remove the steaming tray 30 without the need for an additional handle structure, thereby simplifying the structure of the steaming tray 30.

[0057] like Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the second annular connecting plate 324 includes a fourth transverse enclosing plate 3241 connected to the outer periphery of the plurality of steaming trays 31, a second vertical enclosing plate 3242 connected to the outer end of the fourth transverse enclosing plate 3241 and extending upward, and a fifth transverse enclosing plate 3243 connected to the upper end of the second vertical enclosing plate 3242 and extending outward. The fourth transverse enclosing plate 3241, the second vertical enclosing plate 3242, and the fifth transverse enclosing plate 3243 are all recessed inwardly at locations corresponding to the flow passages 33 to form flow gaps 35. This arrangement enables the second annular connecting plate 324 to rest on a support step formed on the inner sidewall of the pot body 10. Through the supportive cooperation between the second annular connecting plate 324 and the support step on the pot body 10, and the supportive cooperation between the second intermediate connecting plate 323 and the dividing rib 20, the steaming tray 30 can be stably placed within the pot body 10.

[0058] It should be noted that the above-mentioned “the flow-through notch 35 forms a handle opening” means that the user can pass his fingers downward through the flow-through notch 35 and lift the second annular connecting plate 324 .

[0059] like Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the flow-through notch 35 is an arc-shaped notch. This arc-shaped notch provides a smooth transition to the outside of the notch 35, preventing sharp corners from injuring the user. Furthermore, the arc-shaped notch forms a long hole structure with the inner sidewall of the pot body 10, making it easier for the user to bend their fingers within the hole to lift the second annular connecting plate 324, thus facilitating user use.

[0060] Figures 8 and 9 A structural schematic diagram of the fourth embodiment of the pot body assembly according to the present application is shown. The following mainly describes the parts of the fourth embodiment that are different from the third embodiment in combination with the drawings, and the same parts of the two embodiments are not repeated.

[0061] Specifically, the difference between this embodiment and the third embodiment mainly lies in the specific structure of the second annular connecting plate 324 .

[0062] like Figure 8 and Figure 9 As shown, the second annular connecting plate 324 includes a sixth transverse enclosing plate 3244 connected to the outer periphery of the plurality of steaming trays 31, and a second bead 3245 connected to the outer periphery of the sixth transverse enclosing plate 3244. The second bead 3245 extends downward and inward. Both the sixth transverse enclosing plate 3244 and the second bead 3245 are recessed inwardly at locations corresponding to the flow passages 33 to form flow gaps 35. The second bead 3245 extending downward and inwardly on the outer periphery of the sixth transverse enclosing plate 3244 prevents the ends of the second annular connecting plate 324 from being exposed, effectively preventing burrs formed during processing from injuring users. Furthermore, the second bead 3245 occupies less space in the transverse direction, allowing for a larger transverse cross-sectional area of ​​the steaming trays 31, thereby increasing the capacity of the steaming trays 31.

[0063] like Figure 9 As shown, the second curled edge 3245 first extends downward, then extends inward, and finally extends upward, so that the end of the second annular connecting plate 324 can be better hidden to avoid scratching the user.

[0064] like Figure 10 As shown, the present application also provides a cooking appliance. An embodiment of the cooking appliance of the present application includes a pot assembly, wherein the pot assembly is the pot assembly described above. The pot assembly described above can effectively solve the problem in the related art that the provision of air flow holes can cause different foods in different chambers to cross-flavor. The cooking appliance having the pot assembly described above also has the above advantages.

[0065] like Figure 10 As shown, the cooking appliance further includes a pot assembly 40 and a cover assembly 50 which is openably and closably arranged above the pot assembly 40 , wherein the pot assembly is arranged in the pot assembly 40 .

[0066] In the present embodiment, the cooking utensil is an electric cooker. Of course, in embodiments not shown in the figures, the cooking utensil can also be products such as an electric rice cooker, a low-pressure rice cooker, a soybean milk maker, a food processor, a cooking machine, an electric stew pot, a multi-function pot, etc.

[0067] In the description of the present invention, it needs to be understood that the directions or positional relationships indicated by directional words such as "front, back, up, down, left, right", "horizontal, vertical, vertical, horizontal" and "top, bottom" are usually based on the directions or positional relationships shown in the drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description. Unless otherwise specified, these directional words do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific direction or be constructed and operated in a specific direction. Therefore, they cannot be understood as limiting the scope of protection of the present invention; the directional words "inside and outside" refer to the inside and outside relative to the outline of each component itself.

[0068] For ease of description, spatially relative terms such as "above", "above", "on the upper surface of", "above", etc. may be used herein to describe the spatial positional relationship of a device or feature to other devices or features as shown in the figures. It should be understood that spatially relative terms are intended to include different orientations of the device in use or operation in addition to the orientation described in the figures. For example, if the device in the drawings is inverted, the device described as "above other devices or structures" or "above other devices or structures" will be positioned as "below other devices or structures" or "below other devices or structures". Thus, the exemplary term "above" can include both "above" and "below". The device can also be positioned in other different ways (rotated 90 degrees or in other orientations), and the spatially relative descriptions used here are interpreted accordingly.

[0069] In addition, it should be noted that the use of words such as "first" and "second" to limit components is only for the convenience of distinguishing the corresponding components. Unless otherwise stated, the above words have no special meaning and therefore cannot be understood as limiting the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0070] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Those skilled in the art will readily appreciate that the present invention is susceptible to various modifications and variations. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, or improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention shall be included within the scope of protection of the present invention.
