Detailed Implementation

[0021] The preferred technical solution of this utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0022] Example: A portable slow cooker, such as Figures 1-5As shown, the device includes a housing 1, a handle 2, a snap-fit ​​block 3, a hand strap 4, a control panel 5, a motor 6, a mixing rod 7, a heating wire 8, an anti-dry-burning probe 9, a temperature probe 10, a connecting block 13, a snap-fit ​​block 14, and an elastic element 15. The handle 2 is fused to the upper part of the housing 1, and the snap-fit ​​block 3 is fused to the right side of the handle 2. The hand strap 4 is glued to the upper right side of the handle 2. The control panel 5 is screwed onto the upper left side of the housing 1. The housing 1 has two cavities, an upper and a lower one. The motor 6 is screwed into the upper cavity of the housing 1 and electrically connected to the control panel 5. The output shaft of the motor 6 passes through the partition between the upper and lower cavities of the housing 1 and is connected to the mixing rod 7 via a coupling. A spiral heating wire is screwed onto the top rear side of the lower cavity of the housing 1. The heating wire 8 is electrically connected to the control panel 5. The mixing rod 7 is located inside the heating wire 8. The anti-dry-burning probe 9 is installed on the left side wall of the lower cavity of the housing 1 by screws. The temperature probe 10 is installed on the right side wall of the lower cavity of the housing 1 by screws. The anti-dry-burning probe 9 and the temperature probe 10 are symmetrically distributed from left to right. Both the anti-dry-burning probe 9 and the temperature probe 10 are electrically connected to the control panel 5. Multiple through holes 11 are arranged in a ring array at the lower part of the housing 1. The drain hole 12 is opened at the bottom of the housing 1. The connecting block 13 is fused to the left side of the housing 1. The locking block 14 is rotatably connected to the right side of the connecting block 13. The right side of the locking block 14 has a serrated structure. The elastic element 15 is symmetrically connected between the locking block 14 and the connecting block 13.

[0023] like Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, it also includes a protrusion 16, a sleeve 17, a float plate 19, and a counterweight 20. The protrusion 16 is symmetrically welded to the middle of the outer shell 1. The sleeve 17, which is used to block the through hole 11, is slidably connected to the outer wall of the outer shell 1. The sleeve 17 has symmetrically opened grooves 18 at the front and back. Both protrusions 16 slide in the corresponding grooves 18. The float plate 19 is glued to the lower part of the sleeve 17. The counterweight 20 is glued to both the front and back sides of the float plate 19.

[0024] like Figure 1 and Figure 5 As shown, it also includes a frame 21, a protective cover 22, an elastic band 23, and a fixing block 24. The frame 21 is installed on the control panel 5 by screws. The protective cover 22, which protects the control panel 5, is rotatably connected to the left side of the frame 21. The elastic band 23 is rotatably connected to the bottom of the protective cover 22. The fixing block 24 is fused to the bottom of the frame 21. The elastic band 23 is sleeved on the fixing block 24.

[0025] The operator first places the food to be heated into a container filled with water. Then, the operator pulls the locking block 14 clockwise, causing the elastic element 15 to deform. The outer casing 1 is then inserted into the container. After releasing the locking block 14, it adheres tightly to the container wall under the action of the elastic element 15. The serrated structure of the locking block 14 makes its fit with the container wall more secure, preventing the slow cooker from detaching from the container during heating. During the insertion of the outer casing 1 into the container, the float 19 first contacts the liquid surface, thus stopping the downward movement of the float 19, sleeve 17, and counterweight 20. As the outer casing 1 continues to move downward, the protrusion 16... Sliding within the chute 18, the sleeve 17 gradually opens the covered through-hole 11, allowing water from the container to slowly flow into the lower cavity of the outer shell 1. Next, the operator pulls the rubber band 23 to detach it from the fixing block 24, then rotates the protective cover 22 counterclockwise to open it. The heating wire 8 is activated via the control panel 5, heating the water in the lower cavity and indirectly heating the food in the container. Simultaneously, the motor 6 is activated via the control panel 5, and the output shaft of the motor 6 drives the mixing rod 7 to rotate at high speed, creating a vortex in the water within the lower cavity to ensure uniform water temperature. During the heating process, the temperature probe 10 monitors the water in the lower cavity. The temperature is measured and transmitted to the control panel 5 for display. The operator can adjust the temperature of the heating wire 8 based on this data. In addition, the anti-dry-burning probe 9 will detect the water level in the lower cavity. If the water level is lower than that of the heating wire 8, the probe will transmit the data to the control panel 5 to remind the operator to add water in time. After heating is completed, the operator can turn off the motor 6 and the heating wire 8 through the control panel 5. Then, the operator pulls the locking block 14 clockwise again, and the elastic element 15 deforms, lifting the outer shell 1 from the container. During the lifting process, excess water in the lower cavity will be discharged from the drain hole 12. At the same time, the sleeve 17 and the float 1... 9 will slowly move down under the gravity of the counterweight 20, and the sleeve 17 will gradually cover the through hole 11. After the lifting is completed, the locking block 14 will rotate back to its original position under the action of the elastic element 15. If the slow cooker needs to be transported, the locking block 3 can be attached to the backpack, or the slow cooker can be attached to the hand with the wrist strap 4 for carrying. During the carrying process, in order to prevent the control panel 5 from being bumped, the protective cover 22 can be rotated counterclockwise to cover the control panel 5, and then the rubber band 23 can be pulled to lock it into the fixing block 24 and lock the protective cover 22. When it needs to be opened, simply pull the rubber band 23 to disengage it from the fixing block 24.
