Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of small household appliance technology, and more specifically, to a pot body assembly and a cooking utensil. Background Technology

[0002] In the field of small household appliance technology, cooking appliances with stirring functions can perform a variety of tasks, such as stirring and mixing, whipping, emulsifying, kneading, chopping and grinding, making juice and milk, and making dough.

[0003] Stirring and mixing refers to physically combining two or more different ingredients to achieve a uniform distribution. This process can be simple or complex, depending on the properties of the ingredients and the desired mixing effect. The working principles of stirring and mixing mainly include:

[0004] a. Shearing action: During the rotation of the blades or paddles of the mixing structure, the ingredients are sheared, which increases the contact area between the ingredients and thus promotes mixing.

[0005] b. Convection: The rotation of the stirring structure generates convection, causing the ingredients to circulate within the pot, which helps to distribute the ingredients evenly.

[0006] c. Diffusion: During the stirring process, the diffusion between food molecules also helps with mixing.

[0007] The rotation of the aforementioned stirring structure is achieved by a drive structure; that is, after the drive structure is energized, it drives the stirring structure to rotate via a connector. However, this connector is exposed in the cooking appliance and is prone to electrical leakage. Utility Model Content

[0008] The main purpose of this utility model is to provide a pot body assembly and cooking appliance to solve the problem of easy leakage of electricity in connectors in related technologies.

[0009] To achieve the above objectives, according to one aspect of the present invention, a pot assembly is provided, comprising: a pot body; a stirring structure rotatably disposed on the pot body; and a driving structure including a driving member disposed on the pot body and a first connector disposed on the driving member, wherein the driving member can drive the first connector to rotate, so that the first connector drives the stirring structure to rotate; wherein the first connector is exposed outside the pot body and is an insulating member.

[0010] By applying the technical solution of this utility model, after the driving component is energized, it drives the first connector to rotate, which facilitates the first connector in rotating the stirring structure. Since the first connector is an insulating component, even if it is exposed outside the pot body, it has good insulation properties, preventing the risk of leakage. Therefore, the technical solution of this application effectively solves the problem of connector leakage in related technologies.

[0011] Furthermore, the pot assembly also includes a bushing fitted onto the drive shaft of the drive component, and the bushing is disposed within the insulating component. The drive shaft drives the first connector to rotate via the bushing. By adding a bushing within the insulating component, the structural strength of the first connector is enhanced, ensuring the stability of the drive shaft driving the first connector to rotate via the bushing, resulting in smoother power transmission. Simultaneously, the addition of the bushing isolates the drive shaft from direct contact with the first connector, effectively reducing wear caused by direct contact and improving service life.

[0012] Furthermore, a first transmission surface is provided on the inner wall of the bushing, and a second transmission surface is provided on the outer wall of the bushing. The first transmission surface engages with the drive shaft, and the second transmission surface engages with the first connector. The aforementioned first and second transmission surfaces ensure that power is smoothly transmitted from the drive shaft to the first connector, improving transmission efficiency and reducing power loss.

[0013] Furthermore, the bushing is connected to the insulating component via fasteners, screws, snap-fit ​​connections, or integral molding. This connection method increases the strength and reliability of the connection between the bushing and the insulating component. It also prevents the bushing from loosening or shifting during use, ensuring the continuity and stability of power transmission.

[0014] Furthermore, the bushing includes a bushing body sleeved on the drive shaft and a connecting plate disposed on the bushing body, the connecting plate being connected to the first connector. The connecting plate securely connects the bushing to the first connector, facilitating reliable connection of the bushing within the insulating component, thereby ensuring the stability of the bushing during transmission.

[0015] Furthermore, the bushing includes a bushing body fitted onto the drive shaft and a connecting plate mounted on the bushing body. A recessed groove is provided on the end face of the first connector facing away from the interior of the pot body, and the connecting plate is connected within the recessed groove. The recessed groove design ensures a more secure connection between the first connector and the bushing, reducing the impact of external factors on connection stability. Simultaneously, the recessed groove conceals the connecting plate, improving the product's neatness and aesthetics, and also preventing loosening of the connection due to impacts during use.

[0016] Furthermore, the bushing is made of metal, and / or the insulating component is made of plastic. Metal bushings can withstand greater torque, ensuring the stability and reliability of the transmission under load. Plastic insulating components provide excellent electrical insulation, effectively preventing leakage and protecting user safety.

[0017] Furthermore, the stirring structure includes a stirring paddle rotatably disposed within the pot body and a second connector connected to the stirring paddle. The first connector is movably disposed on the drive unit and can be connected to or disconnected from the second connector. When the first connector is connected to the second connector, the rotation of the first connector drives the second connector to rotate, achieving synchronous rotation. This facilitates the second connector driving the stirring paddle to rotate, thereby stirring the food. When the first connector is disconnected from the second connector, the stirring structure can be separated from the drive structure, allowing the stirring structure to be removed from the pot body for cleaning or maintenance.

[0018] Furthermore, a positioning groove is provided on the side wall of the pot body, and the second connector is positioned within the positioning groove. An avoidance hole communicating with the positioning groove is also provided on the side wall of the pot body, allowing the first connector to connect or disconnect from the second connector by passing through the avoidance hole. The positioning groove ensures the precise positioning of the second connector on the pot body, preventing swaying or vibration of the stirring paddle during high-speed rotation, thus improving stirring efficiency and stability. Moreover, the aforementioned avoidance hole facilitates smoother connection and disconnection between the first and second connectors.

[0019] According to another aspect of the present invention, a cooking utensil is provided, including a pot body assembly, wherein the pot body assembly is the pot body assembly described above. Attached Figure Description

The following description of at least one exemplary embodiment is merely illustrative and is in no way intended to limit the present utility model or its application or use. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present utility model without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present utility model.

[0033] It should be noted that the terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to limit the exemplary embodiments according to this application. As used herein, the singular form is intended to include the plural form as well, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise.

In all examples shown and discussed herein, any specific values ​​should be interpreted as merely exemplary and not as limitations. Therefore, other examples of exemplary embodiments may have different values. It should be noted that similar reference numerals and letters in the following drawings denote similar items; therefore, once an item is defined in one drawing, it need not be further discussed in subsequent drawings.

[0035] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, this application provides a pot assembly, which includes a pot body 10, a stirring structure 20, and a driving structure 30. The stirring structure 20 is rotatably mounted on the pot body 10. The driving structure 30 includes a driving member 31 mounted on the pot body 10 and a first connector 32 mounted on the driving member 31. The driving member 31 can drive the first connector 32 to rotate, thereby causing the first connector 32 to drive the stirring structure 20 to rotate. The first connector 32 is exposed outside the pot body 10 and is an insulating component.

[0036] Applying the technical solution of this embodiment, after the driving component 31 is energized, it drives the first connector 32 to rotate, facilitating the rotation of the stirring structure 20 by the first connector 32. Since the first connector 32 is an insulating component, even if it is exposed outside the pot body 10, it has good insulation properties, preventing the risk of leakage. Therefore, the technical solution of this embodiment effectively solves the problem of connector leakage in related technologies. Furthermore, since the first connector 32 is an insulating component, the safety isolation power supply section on the power board of the driving component 31 can be omitted, reducing costs. In this embodiment, the driving component 31 is preferably a motor.

[0037] like Figures 1 to 4As shown, the pot assembly also includes a bushing 40 sleeved on the drive shaft 311 of the drive member 31, and the bushing 40 is disposed within the insulating member. The drive shaft 311 drives the first connector 32 to rotate through the bushing 40. By adding the bushing 40 within the insulating member, the structural strength of the first connector 32 can be enhanced, ensuring the stability of the drive shaft 311 driving the first connector 32 to rotate through the bushing 40, making power transmission smoother. At the same time, the addition of the bushing 40 can isolate the direct contact between the drive shaft 311 and the first connector 32, effectively reducing the wear caused by such direct contact and improving service life. Specifically, the bushing 40 is installed or embedded within the insulating member.

[0038] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, a first transmission surface 41 is provided on the inner wall of the bushing 40, and a second transmission surface 42 is provided on the outer wall of the bushing 40. The first transmission surface 41 is in transmission engagement with the drive shaft 311, and the second transmission surface 42 is in transmission engagement with the first connector 32. The aforementioned first transmission surface 41 and second transmission surface 42 can ensure that power is smoothly transmitted from the drive shaft 311 to the first connector 32, thereby improving transmission efficiency and reducing power loss.

[0039] The first transmission surface 41 mentioned above is the first transmission plane. The outer wall of the drive shaft 311 is provided with a third transmission plane that is in transmission cooperation with the first transmission plane. The second transmission surface 42 is the third transmission plane. The interior of the first connector 32 is provided with a fourth transmission plane that is in transmission cooperation with the third transmission plane.

[0040] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the bushing 40 is connected to the insulating component by fasteners. This increases the connection strength and reliability between the bushing 40 and the insulating component. It also prevents the bushing 40 from loosening or shifting during use, ensuring the continuity and stability of power transmission. Moreover, the above-described structural design makes the overall structure of the pot assembly simple, the production efficiency high, and the cost low.

[0041] Of course, in other embodiments, the bushing 40 is connected to the insulating component by screwing, snap-fitting, or integral molding. In this case, the bushing 40 is injection molded with the insulating component after being embedded in the mold, achieving an integral connection. This eliminates the need for a mounting and fixing structure, reduces additional assembly steps, improves production efficiency, and helps reduce production costs.

[0042] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the bushing 40 includes a bushing body 43 sleeved on the drive shaft 311 and a connecting plate 44 disposed on the bushing body 43. The connecting plate 44 is connected to the first connector 32. The connecting plate 44 securely connects the bushing 40 to the first connector 32, facilitating the reliable connection of the bushing 40 within the insulating component, thereby ensuring the stability of the bushing 40 during transmission.

[0043] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the bushing 40 includes a bushing body 43 sleeved on the drive shaft 311 and a connecting plate 44 disposed on the bushing body 43. A recess 321 is provided on the end face of the first connector 32 facing away from the interior of the pot body 10, and the connecting plate 44 is connected within the recess 321. The design of the recess 321 ensures a more secure connection between the first connector 32 and the bushing 40, reducing the impact of external factors (such as vibration) on connection stability. Simultaneously, the use of the recess 321 conceals the connecting plate 44, improving the neatness and aesthetics of the product appearance, and also preventing the connection from loosening due to collisions during use.

[0044] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the bushing 40 is made of metal, and / or the insulating component is made of plastic. The metal bushing 40 can withstand greater torque, ensuring the stability and reliability of transmission under load. Furthermore, the plastic insulating component provides excellent electrical insulation, effectively preventing leakage and protecting user safety. The combination of metal and plastic enhances the mechanical strength of the first connector 32 while ensuring electrical safety, representing an optimized combination of structural design and material selection. The thickness of the plastic insulating component is greater than or equal to 2 mm.

[0045] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the stirring structure 20 includes a stirring paddle 21 rotatably disposed within the pot body 10 and a second connector 22 connected to the stirring paddle 21. A first connector 32 is movably disposed on the drive component 31 and can be connected to or separated from the second connector 22. When the first connector 32 is connected to the second connector 22, the rotation of the first connector 32 drives the second connector 22 to rotate synchronously, facilitating the second connector 22 to drive the stirring paddle 21 to rotate, thereby stirring the food. When the first connector 32 is separated from the second connector 22, the stirring structure 20 can be separated from the drive structure 30, facilitating the removal of the stirring structure 20 from the pot body 10 for cleaning or maintenance. The movable first connector 32 design makes the connection and separation between the stirring structure 20 and the drive structure 30 more convenient. This detachable connection improves the functional flexibility and ease of use of the pot body components.

[0046] like Figures 1 to 6As shown, a positioning groove 13 is provided on the side wall of the pot body 10, and the second connector 22 is positioned within the positioning groove 13. A clearance hole 14 communicating with the positioning groove 13 is also provided on the side wall of the pot body 10. The first connector 32 passes through the clearance hole 14 to connect or disconnect with the second connector 22. The positioning groove 13 ensures the precise positioning of the second connector 22 on the pot body 10, preventing the stirring paddle 21 from swaying or vibrating during high-speed rotation, thus improving stirring efficiency and stability. Furthermore, the clearance hole 14 facilitates smoother connection and disconnection between the first connector 32 and the second connector 22. The first connector 32 is exposed outside the pot body 10 through the positioning groove 13 and the clearance hole 14.

[0047] The pot body 10 of this embodiment includes a heat insulation cover 11 and an inner pot 12 disposed on the heat insulation cover 11. A stirring structure 20 is rotatably disposed on the inner pot 12. A driving member 31 is disposed on the heat insulation cover 11. The pot body 10 also includes an outer shell 15 disposed outside the heat insulation cover 11.

[0048] This application also provides a cooking appliance, an embodiment of which includes a pot body assembly, which is the pot body assembly described above. Since the aforementioned pot body assembly can solve the problem of easy leakage of current through connectors in related technologies, the cooking appliance including this pot body assembly can solve the same technical problem.

[0049] In one embodiment, the cooking appliance is a stir-fry machine; in other embodiments, the cooking appliance is a dough mixer, a whipping machine, a soy milk maker, a blender, or a multi-functional pot.
