[0002] Slow cooking machine, also known as slow cooker or low-temperature cooking device, is a kind of kitchen appliance for long-time low-temperature cooking food. It can make food evenly heated and fully release flavor by heating food materials at lower temperature (usually 70-90℃) for a long time, while keeping the original nutrients of food materials from being destroyed. This cooking method is particularly suitable for making food that needs long-time stewing, such as meat, beans and root vegetables, etc., which can make meat more tender, and beans and vegetables more soft and glutinous.
[0003] The existing slow cooking machine has certain limitations in design, especially in the aspect of height positioning for different container sizes. Most slow cooking machines adopt fixed design, that is, the position and height of its heating element are fixed, which cannot be adjusted according to the size of the container. This leads to the heating effect being affected when using different sizes of containers. For example, if the container is small, its bottom may not fully contact the heating element, resulting in uneven heating. If the container is large, the distance between the heating element and the bottom of the container is too close, which may cause local overheating, and the heat is too concentrated in one point, affecting the cooking effect.
[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to design a low-temperature slow cooking machine with positioning function to solve the above technical problems. SUMMARY

Detailed Implementation
[0020] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.
[0021] Example: A sous-vide cooker with positioning function, such as Figures 1-4 As shown, the device includes a housing 1, a control panel 2, a connecting block 3, a locking rod 4, a torsion spring 401, a dual-axis motor 5, a rotating shaft 6, a mixing impeller 7, a heating wire 8, a sliding rod 20, a connecting rod 21, and a second compression spring 22. The housing is made of high-temperature resistant material. The control panel 2 is screwed onto the top of the housing 1. The connecting block 3 is fused to the middle of the right side of the housing 1. The locking rod 4 is rotatably connected to the right side of the connecting block 3. The torsion spring 401 is symmetrically connected between the locking rod 4 and the connecting block 3. The housing 1 has three cavities: upper, middle, and lower. The dual-axis motor 5 is screwed into the middle cavity of the housing 1. The dual-axis motor 5 is electrically connected to the control panel 2. The output shaft of the dual-axis motor 5 passes through the middle cavity and the lower cavity of the housing 1. The partition between the cavities is connected to the rotating shaft 6 via a coupling. The mixing impeller 7 is installed at the bottom of the rotating shaft 6 via screws. The spiral heating wire 8 is installed on the top left side of the lower cavity of the outer shell 1 via screws. The heating wire 8 is electrically connected to the control panel 2. The lower part of the outer shell 1 has a ring array of liquid passage holes 9 communicating with the lower cavity. The lower part of the snap-fit rod 4 is symmetrically and slidably connected to the slide rod 20. The left side of the two slide rods 20 is fused together with the abutment rod 21. The upper left side of the abutment rod 21 has multiple positioning grooves. The lower part of the abutment rod 21 has a wedge-shaped structure. Two second compression springs 22 are connected between the abutment rod 21 and the snap-fit rod 4. The two second compression springs 22 are both wound around the corresponding slide rod 20.
[0022] like Figures 1-3 As shown, it also includes a snap-fit post 10, a handle 12, a snap-fit block 13, a button 14, and a first compression spring 15. The snap-fit post 10 is fused to the upper left side of the outer shell 1. The snap-fit post 10 has a plurality of snap-fit slots 11 arranged in a ring array. The handle 12 is rotatably connected to the left side of the snap-fit post 10. The snap-fit block 13 is slidably connected to the upper part of the handle 12. The snap-fit block 13 engages with the snap-fit slots 11. The button 14 is fused to the left side of the snap-fit block 13. The button 14 slides within the handle 12. The first compression spring 15 is symmetrically connected between the button 14 and the handle 12.
[0023] For example Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, it also includes a first bevel gear 17, a second bevel gear 18, a fan blade 19 and a ventilation plate 1901, the middle front side of the shell 1 is symmetrically provided with the air inlet hole 16 communicated with the hollow cavity, the output shaft of the double-shaft motor 5 at the top is fixedly connected with the first bevel gear 17 through the partition between the upper cavity and the hollow cavity of the shell 1, the upper cavity of the shell 1 is rotatably connected with the second bevel gear 18, the first bevel gear 17 is engaged with the second bevel gear 18, the right side of the second bevel gear 18 is provided with the fan blade 19 through screws, the right side of the shell 1 is fixedly connected with the ventilation plate 1901, the ventilation plate 1901 and the fan blade 19 are distributed on the same axis, and a plurality of round holes are formed in the ventilation plate 1901.
[0024] When the device needs to be used, first, the unprocessed food is loaded into the vacuum bag and sealed, and then placed in a container filled with water. The operator holds the handle 12, and the abutting rod 21 of the device is in contact with the edge of the container. Since the lower part of the abutting rod 21 is designed in a wedge-shaped structure, as the device slowly enters the container, the abutting rod 21 will move to the right side, and at the same time, the second compression spring 22 is gradually pressed and compressed. The abutting rod 21 can adjust the position according to the depth of the shell 1 into the container, and finally be clamped in the corresponding positioning groove on the abutting rod 21, ensuring that the slow cooker is stably installed inside the container. Then, the electric heating wire 8 is started through the control panel 2, so that the water in the container flows into the space below the shell 1 through the liquid passage hole 9. The electric heating wire 8 heats the water in the container, which indirectly heats the food in the vacuum bag. In order to ensure uniform water temperature distribution, the operator also needs to start the double-shaft motor 5 through the control panel 2. The lower end output shaft of the double-shaft motor 5 drives the rotating shaft 6 to rotate quickly, which promotes the operation of the mixing impeller 7, so as to form a vortex effect in the space below the shell 1, realizing the uniformization of water temperature. At the same time, the output shaft at the upper end of the double-shaft motor 5 drives the first bevel gear 17 to rotate. Since the first bevel gear 17 is meshed with the second bevel gear 18, the second bevel gear 18 also rotates synchronously, thereby driving the fan blade 19 to rotate at high speed to generate air flow. The external air is sucked from the air inlet hole 16, discharged from the round hole of the air outlet plate 1901 after passing through the hollow cavity and the upper space of the shell 1. This process not only promotes air circulation, but also effectively takes away the heat generated by the double-shaft motor 5, achieving good heat dissipation effect. If you want to stop heating, you only need to turn off the double-shaft motor 5 and the electric heating wire 8 through the control panel 2. When the slow cooker needs to be taken out of the container, the operator should rotate the clamping rod 4 counterclockwise, which causes the torsional spring 401 to deform, thereby increasing the distance between the abutting rod 21 and the container. When the abutting rod 21 completely leaves the container, the second compression spring 22 returns to its original state, pushing the abutting rod 21 to move to the left side. The operator holds the handle 12 and smoothly lifts the whole machine from the container. After releasing the clamping rod 4, it will automatically rotate to the initial position under the action of the torsional spring 401. If you want to adjust the angle of the handle 12, you can first press the button 14 to the right side. At this time, the first compression spring 15 is pressed, the clamping block 13 moves to the right side and is separated from the clamping groove 11. Then the operator can freely adjust the handle 12 to the desired angle. After releasing the button 14, the first compression spring 15 returns to its original state, and the clamping block 13 re-embeds in the corresponding clamping groove 11, completing the setting of the angle of the handle 12. If you want to reinstall the slow cooker, repeat the above steps.
