The bottom of the auxiliary pot 4 is in contact with the second heating device 7.

[0030] The bottom of the main pot 3 is provided with a refrigerant channel, which includes a refrigerant main pipe 3.1 and a refrigerant dispersion pipe which are integrally formed and arranged at the bottom of the main pot 3.

[0031] The refrigerant main pipe 3.1 is arc-shaped and is arranged around the outer periphery of the bottom center of the main pot 3. Its two ends serve as the refrigerant inlet and refrigerant outlet respectively. The refrigerant inlet is provided with a refrigerant inlet joint 3.2, and the refrigerant outlet is provided with a refrigerant outlet joint 3.3.

[0032] The refrigerant diffusion pipeline includes a refrigerant inlet pipe 3.4, a refrigerant outlet pipe 3.5, a plurality of refrigerant inlet branch pipes 3.6 and a plurality of refrigerant outlet branch pipes 3.7; the refrigerant inlet pipe 3.4 and the refrigerant outlet pipe 3.5 are radially arranged on the same side of the center of the bottom of the main pot 3, the inner end of the refrigerant inlet pipe 3.4 is closed and extends to the center of the bottom of the main pot 3, and the outer end is connected to the refrigerant inlet end of the refrigerant main pipe 3.1, the inner end of the refrigerant outlet pipe 3.5 is closed and extends to the center of the bottom of the main pot 3, and the outer end is connected to the refrigerant inlet end of the refrigerant main pipe 3.1. The inner and outer ends of the refrigerant inlet pipe 3.4 are connected to the refrigerant outlet end of the refrigerant main pipe 3.1; a plurality of refrigerant inlet branch pipes 3.6 and a plurality of refrigerant outlet branch pipes 3.7 are all arc-shaped and are alternately arranged around the bottom of the main pot 3 inside the refrigerant main pipe 3.1. All the refrigerant inlet branch pipes 3.6 are closed at one end and connected to the refrigerant inlet pipe 3.4 at the other end. All the refrigerant outlet branch pipes 3.7 are closed at the other end and connected to the refrigerant outlet pipe 3.5.

[0033] A stand 1 is disposed below the main pot 3, and a refrigeration device 6 is disposed on the stand 1. The refrigeration device 6 includes a compressor 6.1, a condenser 6.2, a dryer 6.3, a solenoid valve 6.4, and an expansion capillary tube 6.5. The output end of the compressor 6.1 is connected to the input end of the condenser 6.2, the output end of the condenser 6.2 is connected to the input end of the dryer 6.3, the output end of the dryer 6.3 is connected to the refrigerant inlet connector 3.2, and the refrigerant outlet connector 3.3 is connected to the return end of the compressor 6.1. The solenoid valve 6.4 and the expansion capillary tube 6.5 are both connected in series to the connecting pipeline between the dryer 6.3 and the main pot 3, and the solenoid valve 6.4 is disposed between the dryer 6.3 and the expansion capillary tube 6.5.

[0034] A controller 8 electrically connected to the first heating device 5 , the cooling device 6 and the second heating device 7 is provided on the side of the stand 2 for controlling the working states of the first heating device 5 , the cooling device 6 and the second heating device 7 .

[0035] When in use, the auxiliary pot 4 can be used as a hot pot or a boiling pot to prepare hot food, and the main pot 3 can be used to cook hot food or barbecue after turning off the refrigeration device 6 and starting the first heating device 5, and can also be used to make fried ice or other cold food after turning off the first heating device 5 and starting the refrigeration device 6.

[0036] When refrigeration unit 6 is operating, compressor 6.1 compresses low-temperature, low-pressure gaseous refrigerant into high-temperature, high-pressure gaseous refrigerant. This high-temperature, high-pressure gaseous refrigerant then dissipates heat through condenser 6.2, transforming into low-temperature, high-pressure liquid refrigerant. This low-temperature, high-pressure liquid refrigerant then passes through dryer 6.3 to remove moisture before being throttled through expansion capillary 6.5 to reduce its pressure. The reduced-pressure liquid refrigerant absorbs heat from main pot 3 within the refrigerant channel and evaporates, forming low-temperature, low-pressure gaseous refrigerant that returns to compressor 6.1, completing a cycle. During this process, main pot 3 functions as the evaporator of refrigeration unit 6, cooling the refrigerant by exchanging heat with the liquid refrigerant flowing through the refrigerant pipeline. Solenoid valve 6.4 closes and opens the refrigerant pipeline leading to main pot 3.

[0037] The utility model integrally forms the refrigerant channel and casts it inside the main pot 3. The refrigerant channel is an iron or stainless steel pipe with high pressure resistance. Moreover, the refrigeration equipment 6 of the utility model is limited to the use of R134 refrigerant. R134 refrigerant has the characteristics of being non-flammable, non-explosive and highly safe. Therefore, after the main pot 3 is switched from cooling mode to heating mode, the refrigerant remaining in the refrigerant pipe will not explode due to the expansion of heat.

[0038] Of course, to ensure safety, a pressure measuring instrument can be installed on the refrigerant inlet connector 3.2 or the refrigerant outlet connector 3.3, and the main pot 3 can be switched from the cooling mode to the heating mode when it is detected that there is no refrigerant remaining in the refrigerant pipeline.

[0039] The above embodiment is a preferred solution for a single main pot 3 with a single auxiliary pot 4. In addition to the pot layout described in this embodiment, the present invention can also adopt other pot layouts of a single main pot 3 with a single auxiliary pot 4.

[0040] In addition, the present invention can also adopt a pot layout method of a single main pot 3 with multiple auxiliary pots 4, for example:

[0041] like Figure 5 As shown, a rectangular tabletop 2 is provided with a main pot 3 and two auxiliary pots 4. The main pot 3 is positioned in the center of the tabletop 2, and the two auxiliary pots 4 are symmetrically positioned on either side of the main pot 3. The main pot 3 and the auxiliary pots 4 are spaced apart along the long centerline of the tabletop. In this embodiment, the number of auxiliary pots 4 is not limited to one pair; two or more pairs of auxiliary pots 4 can be configured on a longer tabletop 2 as needed.

[0042] like Figure 6 As shown, the tabletop 2 is designed to be oval in shape, with a main pot 3 and two auxiliary pots 4 placed on it. The main pot 3 is placed in the center of the tabletop 2, and the two auxiliary pots 4 are symmetrically placed on either side of the main pot 3. The main pot 3 and the auxiliary pots 4 are spaced apart along the long diameter of the tabletop. In this solution, the number of auxiliary pots 4 is not limited to one pair; two or more pairs of auxiliary pots 4 can be configured on a longer tabletop 2 as needed.
