[0030] In order to make the objectives, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present application more clear, the technical solutions of the present application will be described clearly and completely in conjunction with the drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are some embodiments of the present application, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative labor are within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0031] In order to facilitate the understanding of the present application, the technical terms designed by the present application will be briefly introduced.

[0032] The electromagnetic stove is an electrical cooking appliance made by using the electromagnetic induction heating principle. It is composed of a high-frequency induction heating coil (i.e. an excitation coil), a high-frequency power conversion device, a controller, and an iron magnetic material pot bottom cooker, etc. When in use, an alternating current is passed through the heating coil, and an alternating magnetic field is generated around the coil. Most of the magnetic lines of the alternating magnetic field pass through the metal pot body, generating a large amount of eddy current in the pot bottom, thereby generating the heat required for cooking.

[0033] After introducing the technical terms related to the present application, next, the application scenarios and design ideas of the embodiments of the present application are simply introduced.

[0034] At present, the electromagnetic stove can only adapt to flat-bottomed cookware, and it is difficult to adapt to the use of woks with arc-shaped structures. In the prior art, the flatness of the electromagnetic stove is destroyed to adapt to the pointed-bottomed cookware, but only cookware with a fixed size can be adapted, and when cooperating with cookware with other sizes, the phenomenon of heat loss or ineffective conduction may occur, and the flatness and aesthetics of the electromagnetic stove are destroyed, resulting in poor user experience.

[0035] Based on this, the embodiments of the present application provide a cookware adapter applied to an electromagnetic stove and an electromagnetic cooking system.

[0036] Embodiment 1

[0037] The adapter main body 1 is arranged above the stove head of the electromagnetic stove, the inside of the adapter main body 1 is hollow, and the adapter main body 1 is made of a magnetic conductive material.

[0038] The elastic adapter 3 is arranged in the hollow area in the adapter main body 1, and the elastic adapter 3 is used to accommodate the cookware. Under the pressure of the cookware, the elastic adapter 3 deforms towards the inner wall of the adapter main body 1.

[0039] The present application provides a cookware adapter applied to an electromagnetic stove, which combines Figure 1 as shown, Figure 2 The cookware adapter includes an adapter main body 1 and an elastic adapter 3.

[0040] The adapter main body 1 is arranged above the stove head of the electromagnetic stove; the inside of the adapter main body 1 is hollow; and the adapter main body 1 is made of a magnetic conductive material.

[0041] The elastic adapter 3 is arranged in the hollow area in the adapter main body 1, and the elastic adapter 3 is used to accommodate the cookware. Under the pressure of the cookware, the elastic adapter 3 deforms towards the inner wall of the adapter main body 1.

[0042] The pot adapter provided by the application is arranged above the cooktop of the electromagnetic cooker, the adapter body 1 is made of magnetic conductive material, and the pot is heated through magnetic induction and heat conduction during the operation of the electromagnetic cooker. The hollow area in the adapter body 1 is provided with an elastic adapter 3 which is tightly attached to the outer wall of the bottom of the pot and returns to the initial position after the pot is moved, so as to adapt to pots of different sizes within the elastic deformation range, thereby improving the pot adaptation capability without damaging the integrity of the electromagnetic cooker and affecting the cooking effect.

[0043] It can be understood that the pot adapter body 1 is a hollow structure, and the cross-sectional shape can be selected according to actual use requirements or preferences, for example, a hollow cylinder, a hollow cuboid, a tapered body with the cross-sectional size gradually decreasing from top to bottom, etc., which is not limited herein. In this embodiment, the pot adapter body 1 is a hollow cylinder.

[0044] It can be understood that, for the convenience of taking and moving, a recessed holding groove adapted to the holding posture is further arranged on the outside of the pot adapter body 1. At the same time, the height of the pot adapter body 1 should meet the height at which most pots can be stably matched with the electromagnetic cooker. The adapter body 1 is made of magnetic conductive material, such as cast iron.

[0045] The elastic adapter 3 is used to accommodate the pot. When the pot is matched with the elastic adapter 3, the pot applies a force to the elastic adapter 3 which is tightly attached thereto, so that the elastic adapter 3 is elastically deformed and moves close to the inner wall of the adapter body 1. When the pot is removed, the elastic adapter 3 is reset in the direction away from the inner wall of the adapter body 1 under the action of elastic restoring force. In this way, pots with different bottom shapes and sizes can be adapted within a certain elastic deformation range.

[0046] In combination with the first aspect, the inside of the adapter body 1 is through, and the outer periphery of the adapter body is provided with an outer package 2 made of heat insulation material.

[0047] The inside of the adapter body 1 is through, and the heat generated by electromagnetic induction flows in the through area inside to exchange heat with the bottom of the pot, so as to heat the pot.

[0048] In addition, the adapter body 1 is made of magnetic conductive material, and the outer package 2 is made of heat insulation material. The outer package 2 with heat insulation performance is wrapped on the outside of the adapter body 1, which can avoid the diffusion of heat to the external environment, ensure the conduction of heat along the adapter body 1 and the hollow area inside to the pot, and be beneficial to improve the heating effect.

[0049] As an implementable manner, the outer package 2 comprises a heat reflection layer on the inner side and a heat insulation layer on the outer side. The heat reflection layer is made of heat reflection materials such as aluminum foil, stainless steel foil, silver-coated polyester film, etc., and is used to conduct the heat emitted by the adapter body 1 back to the adapter body 1. The heat insulation layer on the outer side is made of high-efficiency heat insulation materials such as aerogel, ceramic fiber, glass, etc., and is used to insulate the heat transfer path and reduce heat loss.

[0050] In combination with the first aspect, the opening of the upper part of the elastic adapter 3 is larger than that of the lower part.

[0051] It can be understood that the shape of the pot is generally such that the cross-sectional size of the bottom is smaller than that of the top opening. Therefore, in order to better fit the pot, the opening of the upper part of the elastic adapter 3 is also larger than that of the lower part.

[0053] It can be understood that a plurality of clamps are arranged circumferentially on the inner side of the adapter body 1 to form the elastic adapter 3. When the pot is fitted, the end of the clamp extending to the bottom end of the adapter body 1 is displaced towards the inner wall of the adapter body 1 under the pressure of the pot, thereby forming the elastic deformation of the elastic adapter 3.

[0054] In combination with the first aspect, the pot adapter further comprises a temperature sensor 4 for detecting the temperature of the adapter body 1 and / or the pot.

In the case that the temperature sensor 4 does not contact the outer wall of the fitted pot, the corresponding temperature sensor 4 is used to detect the temperature in the adapter body 1; in the case that the temperature sensor 4 contacts the outer wall of the fitted pot, the corresponding temperature sensor 4 is used to detect the temperature of the pot.

[0056] In combination with the first aspect, the pot adapter further comprises a pressure sensor 5 arranged between the adapter body 1 and the elastic adapter 3 and / or on the elastic adapter 3, which is used to detect the pressure applied by the elastic adapter 3 to the adapter body 1 after the elastic adapter 3 is deformed; or, arranged on the elastic adapter 3, which is used to detect the pressure applied by the pot to the elastic adapter 3.
