[0040] like Figure 3 As shown, the temperature control component 3 is located below the heat insulation component 22 and includes a fixing frame 31 and a temperature control component 32. The temperature control component 32 is connected to the fixing frame 31. The fixing frame 31 includes a protrusion 312, which can pass through the through hole 224 and abut against the heating component 21.

[0041] In this embodiment of the cooking appliance, the heating element 21 is used to heat the food inside the pot body 1, the heat insulation element 22 is used to prevent heat loss from the pot body 1, and the protrusion 312 of the fixing bracket 31 passes through the through hole 224 and abuts against the heating element 21. This can accurately transmit the temperature change of the pot body 1 to the temperature control 32, and also avoid direct contact between the temperature control 32 and the heating element 21, so as to protect the temperature control 32 and ensure the user's cooking experience.

[0042] Optionally, the cooking appliance also includes an abutment 4 and an elastic member 5, with the abutment 4 located below the fixing frame 31 and the elastic member 5 abutting between the fixing frame 31 and the abutment 4.

[0043] Specifically, the abutment 4 ensures the elastic element 5 is securely installed between the fixing bracket 31 and the abutment 4. The elastic element 5 ensures the fixing bracket 31 can maintain tight contact with the heating element 21 under the elastic force of the elastic element 5, guaranteeing the responsiveness of the temperature control component 32. This allows the temperature control component 32 to quickly sense the temperature of the pot body 1, improving the temperature sensing efficiency and accuracy of the temperature control component 3, ensuring a better cooking experience for the user. Furthermore, it avoids hard contact between the temperature control component 3 and the heating element 21, reducing the risk of damage to the temperature control component 3.

[0044] Optionally, such as Figure 4 and Figure 6 As shown, the bottom of the heat insulation component 22 has a mounting protrusion 221, and the fixing bracket 31 also includes a fixing body 311. The fixing body 311 is provided with a guide hole 313, through which the mounting protrusion 221 can pass, thereby improving the fit between the heat insulation component 22 and the fixing bracket 31.

[0045] Specifically, the abutment 4 is located below the fixed body 311 and connected to the heat insulation component 22. The elastic component 5 abuts between the fixed body 311 and the abutment 4 to ensure that the elastic component 5 is installed firmly between the heat insulation component 22 and the abutment 4. The elastic component 5 is used to realize the up and down floating of the temperature control component 3.

[0046] Specifically, the mounting protrusion 221 is connected to the abutment 4, and the elastic element 5 is arranged around the mounting protrusion 221. When the pot body 1 is placed in the receiving groove 223, the heating element 21 abuts against the protrusion 312 and exerts pressure on the protrusion 312, allowing the protrusion 312 to move along the extension direction of the mounting protrusion 221. The elastic element 5 is compressed and generates elastic force to provide elastic support for the protrusion 312, ensuring that the protrusion 312 and the heating element 21 are tightly abutted. The mounting protrusion 221 guides the elastic element 5, ensuring that the elastic element 5 can provide stable elastic force, ensuring that the protrusion 312 and the heating element 21 are in close contact, forming good contact, and improving the accuracy of temperature measurement by the temperature control component 3.

[0047] Optionally, such as Figure 6 As shown, there are multiple mounting protrusions 221 arranged around the through hole 224, and multiple guide holes 313 corresponding one-to-one with the multiple mounting protrusions 221.

[0048] Specifically, multiple mounting protrusions 221 are evenly arranged around the through hole 224 in a circumferential manner. The fixing body 311 is provided with multiple guide holes 313 that correspond one-to-one with the mounting protrusions 221. The mounting protrusions 221 pass through the guide holes 313 to ensure the stability of the fixing body 311 during installation, thereby ensuring the stability of the protrusion 312 during installation in the through hole 224 and improving the reliability of the contact between the heating element 21 and the protrusion 312.

[0049] Optionally, such as Figure 4-6 As shown, the elastic element 5 is a spring, and it is sleeved on the mounting protrusion 221. There are multiple elastic elements 5, and each of the multiple elastic elements 5 corresponds one-to-one with a single mounting protrusion 221. Specifically, by using springs as the elastic element 5, costs are saved.

[0050] In some embodiments, the elastic element 5 may be an elastic rubber element, a metal sheet, etc., and is not limited thereto.

[0051] Optionally, such as Figure 4 and Figure 6 As shown, the through hole 224 is located between two adjacent mounting protrusions 221. The center of the two adjacent mounting protrusions 221 and the center of the through hole 224 are on the same straight line, ensuring that when the protrusion 312 contacts the heating element 21 through the through hole 224, the protrusion 312 is subjected to uniform force and fits tightly with the heating element 21.

[0052] Optionally, such as Figure 6 As shown, the bottom of the mounting protrusion 221 is provided with a first connecting hole 222, the abutment 4 is provided with a second connecting hole 41, and the cooking appliance also includes a connector (not shown), which passes through the first connecting hole 222 and the second connecting hole 41 to connect the abutment 4 and the mounting protrusion 221.

[0053] Specifically, the connector is a screw, which connects the abutment 4 to the mounting protrusion 221, so that the abutment 4 is firmly installed on the bottom of the mounting protrusion 221, ensuring that the elastic element 5 is firmly installed on the mounting protrusion 221, and so that the elastic element 5 can provide stable elastic support for the fixed bracket.

[0054] Optionally, such as Figure 7 As shown, the cooking appliance also includes a base 6, which is located below the heat insulation member 22. The abutment member 4 is part of the base 6 or connected to the base 6 to ensure that the abutment member 4 is installed securely. Specifically, when the pot body 1 and the heat insulation member 22 are placed on the base, the abutment member 4 abuts against the heat insulation member 22 to ensure that the elastic member 5 is installed securely between the heat insulation member 22 and the abutment member 4.

[0055] Optionally, such as Figure 4-6 As shown, the protrusion 312 is a cylindrical shape with an opening at the lower end, and the protrusion 312 is connected to the fixed body 311.

[0056] Specifically, the lower end face of the protrusion 312 is flush with the lower end face of the fixed body 311, which reduces the heat transfer path between the heating element 21 and the temperature control 32, ensuring the action response efficiency and heat transfer efficiency of the temperature control 32. Moreover, the structure of the protrusion 312 is simple, saving manufacturing costs.

[0057] Specifically, the protrusion 312 is formed by stamping the bottom surface of the fixed body 311 onto the top surface of the fixed body 311. The protrusion 312 and the fixed body 311 are integrally formed, which has a simple structure and is easy to manufacture. The protrusion 312 is located in the middle position of the fixed body 311.

[0058] Optionally, the dimension of the fixing bracket 31 in the vertical direction is 0.8mm-2mm.

[0059] Specifically, the mounting bracket 31 is made of metals such as aluminum or copper, which has good heat transfer effect. Moreover, the thickness of the mounting bracket 31 in the vertical direction is 0.8mm-2mm, which further ensures the heat transfer effect of the mounting bracket 31 and improves the temperature sensing efficiency and accuracy of the temperature control component 3.

[0060] Optionally, the through hole 224 is a round hole with a diameter of 1mm-3mm. Specifically, the round hole 224 reduces the friction between the protrusion 312 and the inner wall of the through hole 224 when the protrusion 312 passes through it, ensuring that the protrusion 312 can be easily inserted into the through hole 224. The diameter of the through hole 224 is 1mm-3mm, which ensures good contact between the protrusion 312 and the heating element 21, while also ensuring the structural strength of the heat insulation element 22.

[0061] Optionally, the heat insulation member 22 has a receiving groove 223, which is formed by the top surface of the heat insulation member 22 being recessed into the bottom surface of the heat insulation member 22. The pot body 1 is detachably disposed in the receiving groove 223, and the through hole 224 communicates with the receiving groove 223.

[0062] Specifically, such as Figure 4 As shown, the protrusion 312 passes through the heat insulation member 22 through the through hole 224. The elastic member 5 is disposed between the fixed body 311 and the abutment member 4. The top surface of the fixed body 311 is in contact with the bottom surface of the heat insulation member 22. When the pot body 1 is placed in the receiving groove 223, the heating member 21 disposed on the bottom surface of the pot body 1 presses against the protrusion 312, causing the elastic member 5 to be compressed, ensuring that the heating member 21 and the protrusion 312 are in close contact. The heat from the pot body 1 during heating can be quickly transferred to the temperature control device 32 through the protrusion 312. The temperature control device 32 can quickly sense the temperature of the pot body 1, improving the action response efficiency and heat transfer efficiency of the temperature control device 32, and enhancing the user's cooking experience.

[0063] Optionally, such as Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the bottom surface of the pot body 1 has a heat-conducting protrusion 11, and the heating element 21 is located on the lower end surface of the heat-conducting protrusion 11. The heating element 21 is clamped by the heat-conducting protrusion 11 to ensure that the heating element 21 is installed firmly on the bottom surface of the pot body 1 and to ensure the fit between the heating element 21 and the protrusion 312.

[0064] Optionally, the heating element 21 is a heating tube, which is arranged in a reciprocating manner on the bottom surface of the pot body 1 to ensure that the bottom surface of the pot body 1 is heated evenly and that the food inside the pot body 1 is heated evenly.

[0065] Optionally, there are multiple through holes 224, which are spaced apart on the heat insulation component 22. There are multiple temperature control components 3, which correspond one-to-one with the multiple through holes 224, so that the multiple temperature control components 3 can sense the temperature at different positions on the bottom surface of the pot body 1, thereby improving the temperature sensing efficiency and accuracy of the cooking appliance and enhancing the user experience.
