Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of food utensil structure, specifically an electric hot pot. Background Technology

[0002] With the increasing diversity of modern dining culture, electric hot pots, as a convenient cooking appliance, are widely loved by consumers. Whether it's a family meal or a small gathering, people expect electric hot pots to heat food efficiently and evenly, while also being energy-saving and easy to operate, to meet diverse cooking needs.

[0003] Existing electric hot pots have shortcomings in heating performance. Some electric hot pots heat unevenly, easily leading to localized overheating or undercooking of food. Furthermore, their heat retention function is inadequate, making it difficult to maintain a suitable cooking temperature for extended periods. This not only affects the taste of the food but also increases energy consumption.

[0004] Traditional electric hot pots typically consist of a base, a pot body, and a heating element. The heating element is installed inside the base and heats the bottom of the pot directly when powered on. Users control the temperature by adjusting the heating power, but this method makes precise temperature control difficult. Furthermore, its structural design is relatively simple, resulting in inefficient heat conduction and distribution, and a lack of effective auxiliary heating and heat preservation mechanisms.

[0005] The current technology is flawed in that it cannot effectively solve the problems of uneven heating and energy consumption during heat preservation. For example, during cooking, the area near the heat source gets too hot, while the edges get too cold, resulting in uneven heating of the food. During heat preservation, due to the lack of proper heat regulation, a large amount of electrical energy is continuously consumed to maintain the temperature, which is neither energy-efficient nor can it guarantee the stability of the temperature inside the pot, affecting the cooking results and user experience. Utility Model Content

[0006] Based on this, the purpose of this utility model is to provide an electric hot pot to solve the technical problems of uneven heating, poor heat preservation, high energy consumption, and unreasonable heat conduction and distribution in electric hot pots.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: an electric hot pot, including a hot pot base, an installation groove is provided in the hot pot base, a hot pot plate is provided in the installation groove, a vent pipe is provided at the center of the installation groove, and a vent hole is provided on the hot pot plate in conjunction with the vent pipe.

[0008] By adopting the above technical solution, the circulation of hot air inside the hot pot base is achieved.

[0009] The present invention is further configured such that a groove is provided around the inside of the hot pot base, and a heating tube is provided around the inside of the groove.

[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, heat supply for the entire device is achieved.

[0011] The present invention is further configured such that a bottom support plate is provided at the bottom of the hot pot base, and a cavity is formed in the bottom support plate in conjunction with the vent pipe.

[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, a hot air storage space is provided, which achieves a certain heat preservation effect.

[0013] The present invention is further provided that an air guide fan is provided at the connection between the cavity and the vent pipe and the cavity.

[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, the airflow speed inside the device can be controlled.

[0015] The present invention is further configured such that a heat-conducting plate is provided on the inner wall of the slotted surface in conjunction with the hot pot plate.

[0016] By adopting the above technical solutions, better heat exchange can be achieved.

[0017] The present invention is further provided that the hot pot plate is symmetrically provided with handles.

[0018] By adopting the above technical solution, it is easier to pick up the hot pot plate and clean the groove.

[0019] In summary, the present invention has the following main advantages:

[0020] 1. This utility model, when the electric hot pot is in use, the heating element starts to heat up. The heat generated not only acts directly on the bottom of the hot pot plate, but also heats up the air in the cavity of the bottom support plate. Then, the hot air flows to the center of the hot pot plate through the vent pipe and vent hole. The beneficial effect of this design is that it can make the entire hot pot plate heat up more evenly, so that the food in any position can be heated just right, avoiding local overheating or undercooking. This greatly improves the taste and quality of the cooked food, allowing users to better enjoy the food.

[0021] 2. This utility model features a fan that starts working when the electric hot pot is turned on. Users can flexibly adjust the fan speed according to their actual cooking needs, thereby precisely controlling the speed at which gas passes through the vent pipe within the cavity. The beneficial effects are twofold: firstly, by rationally controlling the gas flow speed, heat within the cavity can be better retained during cooking, thus aiding in achieving a good heat preservation effect; secondly, it avoids excessive energy consumption to maintain the temperature, effectively reducing the energy cost of the electric hot pot during use, making it more energy-efficient and environmentally friendly, and meeting the current demand for energy-saving appliances.

The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain the present invention, and should not be construed as limiting the present invention.

[0028] The embodiments of this utility model will be described below based on its overall structure.

[0029] An electric hot pot, such as Figure 1-4 As shown, the hot pot includes a hot pot base 1, with an installation groove 8 inside the hot pot base 1. A hot pot plate 4 is installed in the installation groove 8, and a vent pipe 10 is located at the center of the installation groove 8. A vent hole 3 is provided on the hot pot plate 4 to cooperate with the vent pipe 10. A bottom support plate 2 is provided at the bottom of the hot pot base 1, and a cavity 11 is provided in the bottom support plate 2 to cooperate with the vent pipe 10. Correspondingly, a slot 6 is provided around the inside of the hot pot base 1, and a heating tube 7 is provided around the slot 6. In actual use, heating is carried out through the heating tube 7. While heating the hot pot plate 4, the internal space of the cavity 11 is also heated, causing the internal air to rise. At this time, the internal air will pass through the vent hole 4 and then be discharged from the vent hole 3, thereby heating the center of the hot pot plate 4. The hot pot is heated to an even temperature.

[0030] Furthermore, a ventilation fan 12 is provided at the connection between the cavity 11 and the ventilation pipe 10 and the cavity 11. The ventilation fan 12 controls the speed at which the gas in the cavity 11 passes through the ventilation pipe 10. With this setting, it can be adjusted according to actual usage needs during actual use. At the same time, by adjusting the gas flow speed, the temperature inside the cavity can be maintained to a certain extent, which can play a certain role in keeping the hot pot warm, thereby saving the power consumption of heat preservation and achieving the purpose of energy saving.

[0031] Furthermore, the inner wall of the slot 6 is fitted with a heat-conducting plate 9 to facilitate faster heat conduction from the heating tube 7 into the hot pot plate 4, resulting in faster heating.

[0032] The hot pot plate 4 is symmetrically provided with handles 5, which makes it easy to lift the hot pot plate 4 and then clean the groove 6.
