[0026] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.
[0027] See Figures 1 to 6 As shown, a cooking pot base shell structure includes an upper shell 1 and a bottom shell 2. A frame assembly 3 is connected between the upper shell 1 and the bottom shell 2, and the inner cavity 10 of the base is enclosed and limited by the frame assembly 3 arranged around the perimeter. The frame assembly 3 includes at least a side shell component 31 arranged on one side. The side shell component 31 is a separate structure relative to the upper shell 1, the bottom shell 2 and the frame assembly 3.
[0028] The side shell components of the above structure are independently assembled and disassembled between the upper shell 1 and the bottom shell 2. They are manufactured separately, which can reduce the difficulty of mold opening and demolding and reduce production costs.
[0029] The side shell component 31 has a light-transmitting area at least in some positions, and the base cavity 10 has a lamp panel structure 5 located inside the light-transmitting area. The side shell component 31 is composed of a light-transmitting structure, which, together with the lamp panel structure 5, is used as an ambient light, so that the outer surface of the base presents an ambient light effect, improving the decorative effect and design sense. Moreover, with the combination of various ambient light colors, different working states of the base can be indicated.
[0030] This allows the frame assembly 3, the upper shell 1, or the bottom shell 2 to be made of different materials, not limited to achieving light transmission. As a result, the rest of the frame assembly 3, the upper shell 1, or the bottom shell 2 are made of a single transparent or semi-transparent plastic, which can enrich the appearance design of the base. The manufacturer can automatically adjust the production standards of the side shell component 31 according to the customer's grade requirements.
[0031] The frame assembly 3 also includes a side shell component 31 disposed on the other side. The two side shell components 31 are disposed on opposite sides and are separate structures. At least one side shell component 31 has a light-transmitting area at least in part. In this embodiment, the side shell components 31 on both sides of the frame assembly 3 are also manufactured independently, so that both sides of the frame assembly 3 can emit ambient light.
[0032] Specifically, the side shell component 31 is made of fully transparent plastic or semi-transparent plastic. The entire side shell component 31 constitutes a light-transmitting area. The lamp panel structure 5 can illuminate the side shell component 31 from the inside out, from top to bottom, or from bottom to top, so that the entire side shell component 31 emits light.
[0033] In its embodiments, see Figure 7 As shown, a light-transmitting window 311 is provided on the side shell component 31, and a transparent or semi-transparent panel 312 is connected inside the light-transmitting window 311. The transparent or semi-transparent panel 312 constitutes a light-transmitting area, which allows the side shell component 31 to be made of conventional materials, thus improving the overall integrity of the frame component 3.
[0034] The frame assembly 3 also includes a control panel 32 disposed on the front side, which is connected between the two side shell components 31; the frame assembly 3 also includes a rear shell component 33 disposed on the rear side, which is integrally connected to the upper shell 1 or the bottom shell 2; the control panel 32 and the rear shell component 33 are used to form the rest of the frame assembly 3, the control panel 32 is equipped with a control module on the rear side, and the rear shell component 33 can have an air outlet 102 for heat dissipation.
[0035] The side shell component 31 has connecting plates 313 extending from both ends. The connecting plates 313 have slots 314. The bottom surface of the upper shell 1 has a connecting post 11 extending from it. The connecting post 11 is positioned in the slots 314. The lower side of the connecting plate 313 has a pressure sleeve 6 that fits onto the outside of the connecting post 11. After the fastening unit is screwed into the connecting post 11 and supports the pressure sleeve 6, the side shell component 31 is fastened to the lower side of the upper shell 1.
[0036] During the assembly of the outer shell, the side shell component 31 is first connected to the upper shell 1, and then fastened to the bottom shell 2 (using the upper and lower connecting columns, which is a conventional structure and will not be described in detail here). When the screws and other fastening units are screwed into the connecting column 11, the head of the screw or the washer abuts against the bottom surface of the pressure sleeve 6, thereby connecting the side shell component 31 to the upper shell 1.
[0037] The inner wall surface of the side shell component 31 has several fastening protrusions 315 extending along the upper edge, and the fastening protrusions 315 are arranged at equal intervals along the width direction of the side shell component 31; the bottom surface of the upper shell 1 is provided with several fastening seats 12, and the fastening seats 12 are provided with fastening interfaces 121 corresponding to the fastening protrusions 315. Through the cooperation of the fastening interfaces 121 and the fastening protrusions 315, the middle part of the side shell component 31 is fastened and connected to the upper shell 1.
[0038] By engaging the fastening protrusions 315, the middle part of the side shell component 31 can be connected to the upper shell 1, preventing the middle part from separating from the upper shell 1. In order to avoid separation, the upper edge of the side shell component 31 extends with an insert edge, which is embedded in the gap between the edge of the upper shell 1 and the fastening seat 12. The structure is simple and the connection is firm and stable.
[0039] The lower edge of the side shell component 31 extends inward to form a joining flange 316. The joining flange 316 has a plurality of positioning interfaces 317 along its length direction. The edge of the bottom shell 2 has positioning ribs 21 corresponding to the positioning interfaces 317. Through the cooperation of the positioning interfaces 317 and the positioning ribs 21, the lower edge of the side shell component 31 and the edge of the bottom shell 2 form a positioning fit.
[0040] By cooperating with the positioning interface 317 and the positioning rib 21, the bottom shell 2 can support the lower edge of the side shell component 31, preventing deformation of the lower edge of the side shell component 31 and avoiding the above-mentioned situation of separation from the edge.
[0041] The rear shell component 33 includes a rear wall 331 arranged in the inner cavity 10 of the base and side walls 332 arranged on the left and right sides of the rear wall 331. The upper shell 1 and the bottom shell 2 are enclosed and limited by the rear wall 331 and the side walls 332 to form a cable storage cavity 101. An air outlet port 102 communicating with the inner cavity 10 of the base is opened on the rear wall 331.
[0042] The power cord 8 in the base is connected to the rear wall 331. After being coiled, the power cord 8 is hidden in the cable hiding cavity 101, which can store the power cord. At the same time, the air outlet 102 is hidden in the cable hiding cavity 101, making the base of the cooking pot more beautiful and compact.
[0043] The top surface of the upper shell 1 has a concave structure with a low center and a high perimeter, and a limiting arc surface 13 is formed around the edge of the concave structure. Each limiting arc surface 13 is provided with a limiting protrusion 14 for limiting the pot. Each limiting arc surface 13 is provided with a limiting protrusion 14, and each limiting protrusion 14 is centrally located on the corresponding limiting arc surface 13. The top surface of the limiting protrusion 14 is flush with the edge of the upper shell 1.
[0044] The base cavity 10 is provided with a heating coil 7, and the upper shell 1 has an upper shell opening 103 that matches the heating coil 7. The top surface of the upper shell 1 is connected to a heating panel 4 that covers the upper shell opening 103. The top surface of the heating panel 4 is set with a very different setting from the top surface of the upper shell 1, but the top surface of the heating panel 4 is flush with the edge of the upper shell 1.
[0045] When the pot 9 in the cooking pot is placed on the upper side of the heating panel 4, the bottom 91 of the pot is limited on the side of the heating panel 4, which plays a certain role in limiting it. In addition, with the limiting protrusions 14 around the perimeter, it prevents the pot from sliding or shifting in any direction during use, ensuring that the pot is centered on the heating panel 4 for heating.
