Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of electric cooker technology, and in particular to an electric cooker that can recycle waste heat. Background Technology
[0002] Electric cookers are common household appliances with a variety of basic cooking functions, such as boiling, stewing, making porridge, and hot pot. Some models are equipped with a steaming rack. The operation is mostly adjusted by knobs or buttons. They have a compact structure and are suitable for small spaces such as rented rooms and dormitories. They are a common cooking tool for single people and students.
[0003] Electric cookers, as convenient small cooking appliances, have various functions such as boiling, stewing, steaming, and hot pot. However, most current products do not have a dedicated waste heat collection component. After heating, a large amount of waste heat stored in the heating element and the pot body is directly dissipated into the surrounding environment and cannot be effectively recovered and utilized, resulting in low heat utilization rate and energy waste. At the same time, due to the lack of a waste heat reuse mechanism, electric cookers cool down quickly after heating stops, and cannot continuously keep the food inside warm. Especially in low-temperature environments or when long-term storage is required, the food is prone to affecting the taste and eating experience due to temperature drop, making it difficult to meet users' actual needs for food heat preservation.
[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to invent an electric cooker that can recycle waste heat to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide an electric cooker that can recycle waste heat, in order to solve the problem mentioned in the background art that existing electric cookers, as convenient small cooking appliances, have multiple functions such as boiling, stewing, steaming, and hot pot. However, current products generally do not have a dedicated waste heat collection component. After heating, a large amount of waste heat stored in the heating element and the pot body is directly dissipated into the surrounding environment and cannot be effectively recycled, resulting in low heat utilization and energy waste. At the same time, due to the lack of a waste heat reuse mechanism, the electric cooker cools down quickly after heating stops, and cannot continuously keep the food inside warm. Especially in low-temperature environments or when long-term storage is required, the food is prone to affecting the taste and eating experience due to temperature drop, making it difficult to meet users' actual needs for food heat preservation.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: an electric cooker that can recycle waste heat, comprising an electric cooker body, a heating base provided at the bottom of the electric cooker body, the electric cooker body being composed of an outer pot body and an inner pot body, the inner pot body being disposed inside the outer pot body, an inner cavity being provided between the outer pot body and the inner pot body, and a plurality of heat-conducting fins being evenly disposed on the inner side of the inner cavity, the heat-conducting fins being fixedly connected to the inner pot body;
[0007] An outer protective shell is provided on the outside of the outer pot body, and heat insulation cotton is provided between the outer protective shell and the outer pot body.
[0008] As a preferred embodiment, the top of the heating base is provided with a placement groove, and the bottom of the electric cooker body is provided with a protrusion corresponding to the placement groove, the protrusion being located inside the placement groove.
[0009] As a preferred embodiment, a heating ring is provided at the top of the heating base, a heat storage seat is provided in the middle of the inner side of the heating base, and side mounting ears are symmetrically fixedly connected to both ends of the heat storage seat.

[0013] The technical effects and advantages of this utility model are as follows:
[0014] 1. This utility model provides an outer pot body and an inner pot body on the inner side of the electric cooker body, with an inner cavity between the outer pot body and the inner pot body. The inner side of the inner cavity is filled with a phase change heat storage material, and multiple heat-conducting fins are evenly arranged on the inner side of the inner cavity. When the electric cooker body is heated, the heat of the inner pot body is transferred to the phase change material in the inner cavity through the heat-conducting fins, causing it to absorb heat and undergo a phase change. After heating is stopped, the phase change material slowly releases heat, which is fed back to the inner pot body through the heat-conducting fins, achieving continuous heat preservation and effectively improving the utilization of residual heat.

The inner side of the heating base has a honeycomb heat storage cavity, and the top of the honeycomb heat storage cavity has a thermally conductive silicone grease layer. The heat generated by the electric cooker body after heating will be absorbed by the honeycomb heat storage cavity along the thermally conductive silicone grease layer, and the heat will be effectively stored inside the honeycomb heat storage cavity, which will facilitate the slow release of heat for use later.
