Detailed Implementation

[0030] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments and accompanying drawings. It should be understood that these descriptions are merely exemplary and not intended to limit the scope of this utility model. Furthermore, descriptions of well-known structures and technologies are omitted in the following description to avoid unnecessarily obscuring the concept of this utility model.

[0031] This utility model provides a heating-type food-enhancing kitchen appliance that can adjust the flavor or nutritional elements of food, comprising: a kitchen appliance shell 1, a first heating element 4 disposed inside the kitchen appliance shell 1, an inner pot 3 disposed inside the kitchen appliance shell 1 and in contact with the first heating element 4, a detection device 6 disposed inside the kitchen appliance shell 1 for detecting the degree of cooking of food in the inner pot 3, a control device 2 disposed on the kitchen appliance shell 1 and electrically connected to the first heating element 4 and the detection device 6, and a flavor generator 5 disposed inside or outside the kitchen appliance shell 1. The flavor generator 5 comprises: a flavor generator shell 501 communicating with the inside of the kitchen appliance shell 1, an additive material 504 filled in the flavor generator shell 501, and a second heating element 502 disposed inside the flavor generator shell 501 and in contact with the additive material 504. The second heating element 502 is electrically connected to the control device 2 and can be activated under the control of the control device 2 after the detection device 6 detects that the food has been cooked to a predetermined degree, to heat the additive material 504 and cause it to volatilize into the food in the inner pot 3.

[0032] Specifically, the first heating component 4 can be a heating plate, and the second heating component 502 can be a spiral heating tube.

[0033] Specifically, the choice of added material 504 can be made according to your own needs. You can choose nutritional elements, or if you want to pursue the flavor of the food, you can choose smoked products, spices, etc.

[0034] Specifically, control device 2 is the main control circuit board.

[0035] Specifically, a controlled circuit board 506 is installed inside the flavor generator housing 501. The controlled circuit board 506 is electrically connected to the second heating element 502 and the control device 2. When the food in the inner pot 3 is cooked to a predetermined degree, the control device 2 sends a start signal to the controlled circuit board 506. The controlled circuit board 506 controls the second heating element 502 to start heating, causing the added material 504 to evaporate into the food in the inner pot 3. After a predetermined time, the control device 2 sends a stop signal to the controlled circuit board 506. The controlled circuit board 506 controls the second heating element 502 to stop heating, and the material no longer evaporates.

[0036] Specifically, the kitchen appliance shell 1 includes a first lower shell 101 and a first upper cover 102, with the first upper cover 102 and the first lower shell 101 hinged together.

[0037] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2 In the first embodiment, the flavor generator 5 can be disposed inside the first lower shell 101 or the first upper cover 102. A through hole is formed on the inner side of the first lower shell 101 or the first upper cover 102. A pipe 505 is connected to the flavor generator 5, which passes through the through hole via the pipe 505 and connects to the interior of the outer shell 1, i.e., it is interconnected with the inner pot 3. Specifically, the first lower shell 101 or the first upper cover 102 is composed of a top cover and an inner liner. When the additive material 504 inside the flavor generator 5 is used up, the top cover and the liner can be opened to remove the flavor generator 5 and replenish the additive material 504. Specifically, if the flavor generator 5 is located on the first upper cover 102, the volatilized additive 504 can fall directly into the inner pot 3. If the flavor generator 5 is located on the first lower shell 101, the additive 504 will enter the food in the inner pot 3 through upward volatilization. Alternatively, a hole can be made at the bottom of the inner pot 3 and a second waterproof and breathable membrane 301 can be installed. The hole is connected to the pipe 505 of the flavor generator 5. In this way, the gas volatilized by the additive 504 can enter the inner pot 3 through the second waterproof and breathable membrane 301, but the moisture in the inner pot 3 will not flow out through the second waterproof and breathable membrane 301.

[0038] Please see Figure 3 In the second embodiment, the flavor generator 5 can be set outside the first lower shell 101 or the first upper cover 102. The flavor generator 5 is connected to a pipe 505. One end of the pipe 505 extends from the outside through the first upper cover 102 or the first lower shell 101 to the inside of the cookware shell 1 and communicates with the inner pot 3.

[0039] Specifically, the detection device 6 includes various forms.

[0040] In the first embodiment, the detection device 6 can be a temperature sensor. The temperature sensor is disposed on the first heating element 4 and electrically connected to the control device 2. When the inner pot 3 is placed into the outer shell 1 of the cookware, the bottom of the inner pot 3 contacts the temperature sensor. The temperature sensor is used to sense the temperature of the inner pot 3. The temperature sensor transmits the temperature of the inner pot to the control device 2 in real time. When the transmitted temperature value reaches a predetermined value, the control device 2 sends a signal to the second heating element 502. The second heating element 502 heats the added material 504.

[0041] For mechanical kitchen appliances, a temperature-sensing magnet 7 and a control lever 9 are generally used for cooking control. Specifically, their structure is as follows:

[0042] The temperature-sensing magnet 7 is mounted on the first heating element 4 and is in contact with the bottom of the inner pot 3;

[0043] The control lever 9 is hinged to the outer shell 1 of the kitchenware. One end of the lever extends into the interior of the outer shell 1 and has a permanent magnet installed at the position corresponding to the temperature-sensing magnet 7. The other end extends out of the outer shell 1 as a free end and is fitted with an operation button 8. Specifically, when heating, pressing down on the control lever 9 causes the end of the control lever 9 with the permanent magnet to swing upward, and the permanent magnet attracts the temperature-sensing magnet 7. When the temperature rises above 100°C, the temperature-sensing magnet 7 loses its magnetism (it loses its magnetism at 103°C). Since the end of the control lever 9 with the permanent magnet is equipped with a spring, it springs open under the action of the spring, and the control lever 9 swings downward accordingly.

[0044] For details, please refer to Figure 4 In the second embodiment, the detection device 6 includes: a contact 602 disposed at the other end of the control lever 9 and a micro switch 601 disposed below the contact 602. The micro switch 601 is electrically connected to the control device 2. When the control lever 9 swings upward and the contact 602 separates from the micro switch 601, the cookware is in the cooking state, and the control device 2 does not send a start signal to the second heating component 502. When cooking is completed, when the control lever 9 swings upward and the contact 602 contacts the micro switch 601, the control device 2 sends a start signal to the second heating component 502, and the second heating component 502 heats the added material 504.

[0045] Specifically, the flavor generator housing 501 includes a second lower housing 5012 and a second upper cover 5011. The second lower housing 5012 and the second upper cover 5011 are connected by threads. When the added material 504 is used up, the second lower housing 5012 and the second upper cover 5011 can be unscrewed to replenish the added material 504.

[0046] Preferably, in this application, the added material 504 is stored in the installation box 503. The installation box 503 is made of thermally conductive materials such as aluminum alloy. One end of the installation box 503 is open and sealed with packaging paper. When installing the installation box 503, the packaging paper can be torn open and the installation box 503 can be embedded into the flavor generator shell 501. After installation, the outer side of the installation box 503 contacts the second heating element 502. The second heating element 502 generates heat, and the heat is conducted to the added material 504 through the installation box 503. The added material 504 evaporates when heated.

[0047] Furthermore, this application adds an additional first waterproof and breathable membrane 507 at the opening of the mounting box 503. In this way, the smoke generated by the heating of the added material 504 can evaporate outward through the first waterproof and breathable membrane 507 into the food in the inner pot 3. However, the water vapor generated when cooking food in the inner pot 3 cannot enter the flavor generator shell 501 through the first waterproof and breathable membrane 507, thus preventing the added material 504 from becoming damp and deteriorating.

[0048] It should be understood that the specific embodiments described above are merely illustrative or explanatory of the principles of this utility model and do not constitute a limitation thereof. Therefore, any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made without departing from the spirit and scope of this utility model should be included within its protection scope. Furthermore, the appended claims are intended to cover all variations and modifications falling within the scope and boundaries of the appended claims, or equivalent forms of such scope and boundaries.
