Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cooking equipment technology, and more specifically, to a cooking device. Background Technology

[0002] Smart cooking appliances typically include a heating element and a rotating pot body. The heating element is used to heat the rotating pot body to cook the ingredients.

[0003] To ensure cooking results, equipment typically uses temperature sensors to monitor the pot's temperature in real time. Currently, these sensors include both contact and non-contact types. However, regardless of the method used, the pot rotates during the measurement process, while the sensor remains stationary. The relative movement between the pot and the sensor results in poor measurement accuracy, making it difficult to accurately control the cooking temperature of the food inside the pot.

[0014] When the pot body rotates along the first rotation direction, the heating device includes a first end, and the first end temperature measuring element is used to collect the infrared waves radiated by the pot body corresponding to the first end.

[0015] When the pot body rotates along the second rotation direction, the heating device includes a second end, and the second end temperature measuring element is used to collect the infrared waves radiated by the pot body corresponding to the second end.

[0016] Furthermore, if the first temperature measuring element includes the first end temperature measuring element and the second end temperature measuring element, then the distances between the first end temperature measuring element and the bottom of the pot body in the axial direction of the pot body are equal.

[0017] Furthermore, the number of the first end temperature measuring element and the second end temperature measuring element are both at least two.

[0018] Furthermore, the first temperature measuring element is disposed on the end.

[0019] Furthermore, the cooking device also includes a support;

[0020] The first temperature measuring element is connected to the end via the bracket;

[0021] The bracket includes a first end and a second end connected to each other, the first end being connected to the end, and the second end being bent toward the pot body relative to the first end.

[0022] The first temperature measuring element is disposed at the second end.

[0023] Furthermore, a through hole is provided at the end facing the pot body;

[0024] The first temperature measuring element is connected to the through hole.

[0025] Furthermore, the heating device is used to form a heating ring on the pot body during the rotation of the pot body;

[0026] The cooking device further includes a second temperature measuring element, which is used to collect infrared waves radiated by the pot body corresponding to the heating ring to detect the temperature of the pot body.

[0027] Furthermore, the pot body includes a cooking ring formed on it by food during its rotation;

[0028] The second temperature measuring element is used to collect infrared waves radiated by the pot body corresponding to the overlapping area of ​​the heating ring and the cooking ring, in order to detect the temperature of the pot body.

[0029] Furthermore, the second temperature measuring element, the first end temperature measuring element, and the second end temperature measuring element are equidistant from the bottom of the pot body along the axial direction of the pot body.

[0034] In the cooking device provided in this embodiment, the heating device generates an electromagnetic field that acts on the pot body, causing eddy currents on the pot body surface. These eddy currents generate heat on the pot body surface to heat it. During the rotation of the pot body, the heating device may include a beginning and an end arranged along the rotation direction of the pot body. The pot body can rotate out of the heating device at the end. After the pot body leaves the heating device, the eddy currents generated on it disappear, and the pot body begins to cool down. Therefore, the temperature at the position on the pot body corresponding to the end of the heating device is the highest and closest to the actual cooking temperature of the food. The first temperature measuring element is used to collect the infrared waves radiated by the pot body corresponding to the end of the heating device, which can measure the highest temperature of the pot body. This improves the temperature measuring effect of the first temperature measuring element, making it easier to control the cooking temperature of the food inside the pot. Furthermore, it reduces the influence of the heating device's output power on the cooking temperature of the food. Attached Figure Description

[0042] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of the present utility model will be described in more detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the preferred embodiments. In the drawings, the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The described embodiments are some, but not all, embodiments of this utility model. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to explain this utility model, and should not be construed as limiting this utility model. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this utility model without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model. The embodiments of this utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Unless otherwise specified, the following embodiments and features can be combined with each other.

[0043] In the description of this embodiment, it should be understood that the terms "center", "longitudinal", "lateral", "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "left", "right", "vertical", "level", "top", "bottom", "inner", and "outer" indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing this embodiment and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of this embodiment.

[0044] like Figure 1 As shown, this utility model embodiment provides a cooking device, including a pot body 1, which is rotatably arranged; a heating device 2, which is disposed outside the pot body 1, for generating an electromagnetic field to heat the pot body 1, the heating device 2 including a starting end and an ending end 21 arranged along the rotation direction of the pot body 1; and a first temperature measuring element 3, for collecting infrared waves radiated by the pot body 1 corresponding to the ending end 21, to detect the temperature of the pot body 1.

[0045] The heating device 2 can be an electromagnetic heating coil. The electromagnetic heating coil generates an alternating electromagnetic field that acts on the pot body 1, causing eddy currents on the surface of the pot body 1, thereby generating heat on the surface of the pot body 1. That is to say, the area on the pot body 1 corresponding to the heating coil heats up due to the generation of eddy currents, while the area away from the heating coil cools down as the eddy currents disappear. Therefore, when heating the pot body 1 by means of a heating coil, the temperature boundary between the heated area and the non-heated area of ​​the pot body 1 is relatively clear.

[0046] In the cooking device provided in this embodiment of the utility model, the heating device 2 generates an electromagnetic field that acts on the pot body 1, causing eddy currents on the surface of the pot body 1. These eddy currents generate heat on the surface of the pot body 1 to heat it. During the rotation of the pot body 1, the heating device 2 may include a beginning and an end arranged along the rotation direction of the pot body 1. The pot body 1 can rotate out of the heating device 2 at the end. After the pot body 1 leaves the heating device, the eddy currents generated on it disappear, and the pot body 1 begins to cool down. Therefore, the temperature at the position on the pot body 1 corresponding to the end of the heating device 2 is the highest and closest to the actual cooking temperature of the food. The first temperature measuring element 3 is used to collect the infrared waves radiated by the pot body 1 corresponding to the end of the heating device 2, which can measure the highest temperature of the pot body 1. This improves the temperature measuring effect of the first temperature measuring element 3, making it easier to control the cooking temperature of the food in the pot body 1. Moreover, it reduces the influence of the output power of the heating device 2 on the cooking temperature of the food.

[0047] In some embodiments, the pot body 1 further includes a cooking area where the ingredients are located; the first temperature measuring element 3 is disposed within the projection range of the cooking area along the radial direction of the pot body 1 toward the end 21.

[0048] It can be understood that when the pot body 1 rotates along its axial direction, its radial direction is perpendicular to its axial direction. By placing the first temperature measuring element 3 within the projection range of the cooking area along the radial direction of the pot body 1 toward the end 21, the first temperature measuring element 3 can more accurately measure the cooking temperature of the food, thereby improving the measurement accuracy of the first temperature measuring element 3.

[0049] In some embodiments, see Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 The rotation direction of the pot body 1 includes a first rotation direction and a second rotation direction opposite to the first rotation direction; the first temperature measuring element 3 may include a first end temperature measuring element 31 and / or a second end temperature measuring element 32; when the pot body 1 rotates along the first rotation direction, the heating device 2 includes a first end, and the first end temperature measuring element 31 is used to collect the infrared waves radiated by the pot body 1 corresponding to the first end; when the pot body 1 rotates along the second rotation direction, the heating device 2 includes a second end, and the second end temperature measuring element 32 is used to collect the infrared waves radiated by the pot body 1 corresponding to the second end.

[0050] When the pot body 1 rotates in one direction, only the first end temperature measuring element 31 can be installed to collect the infrared waves radiated by the pot body 1 corresponding to the first end of the heating device 2. When the pot body 1 can rotate in both directions, the first end temperature measuring element 31 and the second end temperature measuring element 32 can be installed to collect the infrared waves radiated by the pot body 1 corresponding to the first and second ends of the heating device, respectively. In practice, the first end temperature measuring element 31 and / or the second end temperature measuring element 32 can be selected to be installed according to the actual rotation direction of the pot body 1. Specifically, both the first end temperature measuring element 31 and the second end temperature measuring element 32 can be infrared sensors.

[0051] In some embodiments, if the first temperature measuring element 3 includes a first end temperature measuring element 31 and a second end temperature measuring element 32, then the distance between the first end temperature measuring element 31 and the second end temperature measuring element 32 and the bottom of the pot body 1 in the axial direction of the pot body 1 is equal.

[0052] Since the pot body 1 rotates around its central axis, when the pot body 1 rotates in both directions, the first end temperature measuring element 31 and the second end temperature measuring element 32 are set at the same height on the pot body 1. This ensures that the position of the food detected by the first end temperature measuring element 31 and the second end temperature measuring element 32 is consistent regardless of whether the pot body 1 rotates in the forward or reverse direction, thereby reducing the measurement error of the food temperature and further improving the measurement accuracy of the first temperature measuring element 3.

[0053] In some embodiments, the number of first end temperature measuring elements 31 and second end temperature measuring elements 32 can each be at least two. In specific use, the average value of the temperatures measured by at least two first end temperature measuring elements 31 and at least two second end temperature measuring elements 32 can be calculated, thereby further reducing the measurement error of the food temperature and further improving the measurement accuracy of the first temperature measuring element 3.

[0054] In some embodiments, the first temperature measuring element 3 is disposed on the end 21. That is, the first temperature measuring element 3 can be directly disposed on the end 21 of the heating device 2 to collect the infrared waves radiated by the pot body 1 corresponding to the end 21.

[0055] Specifically, see Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 The cooking device may also include a support 4; the first temperature measuring element is connected to the end 21 via the support 4; the support 4 may include a first end 41 and a second end 42 connected to each other, the first end 41 is connected to the end 21, and the second end 42 is bent toward the pot body 1 relative to the first end 41; the first temperature measuring element 3 is disposed on the second end 42.

[0056] The first end 41 of the bracket 4 can be connected to the end 21 of the heating device 2 by means of bolts or the like, so as to ensure the installation stability of the bracket 4 and the heating device 2; correspondingly, the first temperature measuring element 3 can also be connected to the second end 42 of the bracket 4 by means of bolts or the like, so as to ensure the installation stability of the first temperature measuring element 3 and the bracket 4, and thus ensure the installation stability of the first temperature measuring element 3 and the heating device 2.

[0057] The second end 42 is bent toward the pot body 1 relative to the first end 41. The first temperature measuring element 3 is installed on the second end 42, so that the first temperature measuring element 3 faces the pot body 1, which facilitates the first temperature measuring element 3 to collect the infrared waves radiated by the pot body 1, thereby further improving the measurement accuracy of the first temperature measuring element 3.

[0058] Of course, the first temperature measuring element is not limited to the installation method of being directly set on the heating device. In some other embodiments, the end 21 is provided with a through hole facing the pot body 1; the first temperature measuring element 3 communicates with the through hole.

[0059] In other words, the first temperature measuring element 3 can be installed in a location other than the heating device 2, such as on the shell of the cooking equipment. In this case, a through hole can be opened on the heating device 2, with the through hole facing the pot body 1. The first temperature measuring element 3 communicates with the through hole, so that the first temperature measuring element 3 can collect the infrared waves radiated by the pot body 1 through the through hole. In specific implementation, the installation method of the first temperature measuring element 3 can be selected according to the actual installation needs.

[0060] In order to facilitate the collection of infrared waves radiated by the pot body 1 by the first temperature measuring element 3, in some embodiments, the first end temperature measuring element 31 and the second end temperature measuring element 32 may each include a temperature measuring probe and a guide tube with openings at both ends. One end of the guide tube is connected to the temperature measuring probe, and the other end of the guide tube is connected to a through hole, so that the first end temperature measuring element 31 and the second end temperature measuring element 32 can smoothly collect the infrared waves radiated by the pot body 1 under the guidance of the guide tube.

[0061] In some embodiments, see Figure 6 The heating device 2 is used to form a heating ring B on the pot body 1 during the rotation of the pot body 1; the cooking equipment may also include a second temperature measuring element 5, which is used to collect the infrared waves radiated by the pot body 1 corresponding to the heating ring B, so as to detect the temperature of the pot body 1.

[0062] Furthermore, the pot body 1 includes a cooking ring C formed on it by food during its rotation; the second temperature measuring element 5 is used to collect infrared waves radiated by the pot body 1 corresponding to the overlapping area of ​​the heating ring B and the cooking ring C, so as to detect the temperature of the pot body 1.

[0063] Normally, the area of ​​the cooking ring C formed on the pot body 1 when the food is cooked is smaller than the area of ​​the heating ring B formed on the pot body 1 by the heating device 2, that is, the food is within the heating range of the heating device 2 when cooking.

[0064] In some embodiments, see Figure 6 The second temperature measuring element 5, the first end temperature measuring element 31, and the second end temperature measuring element 32 are equidistant from the bottom of the pot body 1 in the axial direction. The pot body 1 includes a first region corresponding to the heating device 2 and a second region other than the heating device 2. The second temperature measuring element 5 is disposed in the second region.

[0065] The second temperature measuring element 5 can collect infrared waves radiated by the pot body 1 corresponding to the overlapping area of ​​the heating ring B and the cooking ring C. Moreover, the second temperature measuring element 5, the first end temperature measuring element 31 and the second end temperature measuring element 32 are equidistant from the bottom of the pot body 1 in the axial direction. At the same time, the second temperature measuring element 5 is set in a second area outside the heating device 2, so that the second temperature measuring element 5 can measure the temperature of the pot body 1 in advance. This allows the pot body 1 to be pre-heated before rotating into the heating device 2, making it easier to control the cooking temperature of the food in the pot body 1 and reducing the impact of the output power of the heating device 2 on the cooking temperature of the food.

[0066] In some embodiments, the distance from the second temperature measuring element 5 to the first end temperature measuring element 31 is equal to the distance from the second temperature measuring element 5 to the second end temperature measuring element 32.

[0067] In other words, the second temperature measuring element 5 can be located at the center between the first end temperature measuring element 31 and the second end temperature measuring element 32. That is, the second temperature measuring element 5 can be set directly above the pot body 1 so that the second temperature measuring element 5 can predict the heating in advance when the pot body 1 rotates forward or backward, making it more convenient to use.

[0068] Specifically, the second temperature measuring element 5 can be an infrared sensor. The second temperature measuring element 5 can be installed on the housing of the cooking equipment.

[0069] In some embodiments, see Figure 7 The pot body 1 includes a pot rim 11; the cooking device may also include a third temperature measuring element 6, which is used to collect infrared waves radiated by the pot body 1 corresponding to the position of the heating device 2 near the pot rim 11, so as to detect the temperature of the pot body 1.

[0070] During the cooking process, if the third temperature measuring element 6 detects that the temperature at the edge of the pot 11 is too high when there is no food heat exchange at the edge 11, the power of the heating device 2 should be adjusted to avoid affecting the quality of the pot body 1. Alternatively, if the third temperature measuring element 6 detects that the temperature at the edge of the pot 11 is too high when there is a small amount of food in the pot body 1, the tilt angle of the pot body 1 can be automatically adjusted to avoid the situation where the power of the heating device 2 is forcibly reduced due to the excessive temperature at the edge 11 when cooking small portions of food, thereby improving the cooking effect and efficiency of small portions of food.

[0071] Specifically, the third temperature measuring element 6 can be an infrared sensor. The third temperature measuring element 6 can be directly installed on the heating device 2 on the side near the pot rim 11; or, a through hole can be opened on the heating device 2 on the side near the pot rim 11, and the third temperature measuring element 6 can be installed in a location other than the heating device 2, such as on the housing of the cooking equipment, so that the third temperature measuring element 6 collects the infrared waves radiated by the pot body 1 through the through hole.

[0072] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and not to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some of the technical features. Such modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model.
