Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of electromagnetic heating equipment technology, and more specifically to an induction cooker for making potstickers. Background Technology

[0002] Potstickers are a common Chinese pastry, and their traditional production process typically involves two stages: first, adding a small amount of water to the bottom of the pot and steaming the filling; second, dry-frying the filling on the bottom or edges of the pot to create a golden-brown, crispy outer crust. This process places high demands on the heating system of the pot, requiring not only a bottom capable of steaming but also the ability to dry-heat the edges or center of the pot to ensure the filling forms simultaneously at the bottom and edges.

[0003] Most existing induction cookers use a single electromagnetic coil structure, with the coil typically located in the center of the bottom of the cooktop, heating only the bottom of the pot. While this structure is suitable for common cooking methods such as boiling, stir-frying, pan-frying, and deep-frying, it cannot achieve adequate heating coverage for dishes like potstickers that require combined heating of the bottom and dry-heating of the edges.

[0004] Specifically, when potstickers are distributed at the bottom and middle of the pot, heating is provided only by the bottom electromagnetic coil, which results in the edge area not forming a crispy crust due to the lack of an effective heat source, affecting the taste and appearance of the potstickers. If the bottom heating time is extended for a long time, the bottom of the potstickers is more likely to be over-burnt or even burnt, while the edges remain soft and mushy, resulting in poor cooking results.

[0005] In addition, due to structural limitations, traditional induction cookers are generally not adaptable to dry burning, especially in terms of insufficient heating capacity for the middle or non-bottom areas of the pot, and lack a zoned temperature control structure, which limits their application in the production of certain types of pasta.

[0006] Therefore, there is an urgent need for an induction cooker device with a structure that features zoned layout and adapts to the heating requirements of the bottom and middle sections of the cookware, in order to meet the complex structural needs of potstickers during the steaming and baking processes, thereby improving the adaptability and practicality of electromagnetic heating equipment in the field of pastry cooking. Utility Model Content

[0007] The purpose of this invention is to provide an induction cooker for making potstickers, which has a dual-coil arrangement structure adapted to the middle and bottom heating areas.

[0008] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0009] An induction cooker for making potstickers includes: a pot, a countertop, a first electromagnetic coil group and a second electromagnetic coil group, wherein the pot is disposed on the countertop;

[0010] The first electromagnetic coil group is located below the corresponding position on the bottom of the pot;

[0011] The second electromagnetic coil group is located below the corresponding position in the middle section of the cookware, and is located outside and above the first electromagnetic coil group;

[0012] The first electromagnetic coil group and the second electromagnetic coil group are respectively connected to independent control circuits.

[0013] Preferably, the cookware is a composite structure pot body made of metal, with magnetic conductive areas adapted to electromagnetic heating at the bottom and middle section.

[0014] Preferably, the first electromagnetic coil group and the second electromagnetic coil group are respectively connected to the control module installed in the main body of the induction cooker via cables.

[0015] Preferably, the first electromagnetic coil group is disposed in the central area below the platform, and the second electromagnetic coil group is arranged in a ring around the outer periphery of the first electromagnetic coil group.

[0016] Preferably, there is a height difference between the first electromagnetic coil group and the second electromagnetic coil group, with the second electromagnetic coil group being higher than the first electromagnetic coil group in the vertical direction.

[0017] As can be seen from the above technical solution, compared with the prior art, this utility model sets a first electromagnetic coil group and a second electromagnetic coil group inside the induction cooker, and assigns the two groups of coils to the bottom and middle sections of the pot respectively, forming a staggered and inner-outer ring structure. This allows the bottom and edge of the potstickers to be in the heating area at the same time during the production process, thereby improving the uniformity of heating and adhesion. It solves the problem of the single heating area and difficulty in shaping the edges of potstickers in traditional induction cookers, and improves the overall production effect and structural adaptability of potstickers.

[0021] Example

[0022] See Figure 1 As shown, an induction cooker for making potstickers includes a pot 1, a countertop 2, a second electromagnetic coil group 3, and a first electromagnetic coil group 4.

[0023] The tabletop 2 is a support platform for the induction cooker. Its upper surface is provided with an annular receiving groove for embedding the cookware 1. The tabletop 2 has an installation space for the electromagnetic coil below it.

[0024] The cookware 1 is a hollow metal composite container, generally hemispherical in shape, with a rounded bottom and a slightly outward-expanding middle section outer wall, forming a structure that can accommodate multiple electromagnetic heating zones. The bottom of the cookware 1 is provided with a magnetically conductive layer to cooperate with the first electromagnetic coil group 4, and the middle section outer wall is also provided with a magnetically conductive material layer, corresponding to the second electromagnetic coil group 3.

[0025] The first electromagnetic coil assembly 4 is located in the central area below the countertop 2, with its central axis coinciding with the axis of the bottom of the pot 1. The first electromagnetic coil assembly 4 has a flat, coiled structure and is fixedly installed in the mounting base at the bottom of the countertop 2. The coil assembly is positioned along the bottom of the pot 1, aligning it vertically with the magnetic conductive layer at the bottom of the pot 1.

[0026] The second electromagnetic coil group 3 is located outside the first electromagnetic coil group 4 and offset upward by a certain distance, and is arranged around the corresponding position of the middle section of the cookware 1. The second electromagnetic coil group 3 has a ring-shaped arrangement structure, its inner diameter is larger than the outer diameter of the first electromagnetic coil group 4, and it has a height difference in the vertical direction, so that its heating area corresponds to the magnetic conductive area of ​​the outer wall of the middle section of the cookware 1.

[0027] The first electromagnetic coil group 4 and the second electromagnetic coil group 3 are connected to the control module inside the induction cooker via independent connecting wires. The control module is located in the middle of the induction cooker body and achieves on / off control and power switching through an external control panel. The first electromagnetic coil group 4 and the second electromagnetic coil group 3 are independent circuits and do not share a control unit, which can achieve a completely partitioned layout in terms of structure.

[0028] In this embodiment, the size of the pot 1 corresponds one-to-one with the arrangement of the two sets of electromagnetic coils. The bottom area of ​​the pot is in close contact with the arrangement area of ​​the first electromagnetic coil group 4. The middle section of the pot body and the second electromagnetic coil group 3 form a partial covering relationship. The two form a dual-area heating system with "low inside and high outside" in terms of structural arrangement, which improves the fit between the electromagnetic coil group 3 and the middle section of the pot body.

[0029] A limiting structure is provided between the cookware 1 and the countertop 2 for stable positioning and to prevent displacement. A circular recessed step is provided in the middle of the countertop 2, and the lower outer edge of the cookware 1 is embedded in the recessed step to ensure the stability of the cookware in the vertical direction.

[0030] After the above structure is installed, two independent electromagnetic coil arrangement layers are formed in the area below the countertop 2. The first electromagnetic coil group 4 is located in the central lower part, and the second electromagnetic coil group 3 is arranged around it and moved upward, so that the induction cooker has the ability to adapt to heating pots in different positions.

[0031] The structural scheme described in this embodiment has a clear overall structure and a compact layout, effectively realizing the multi-segment arrangement of electromagnetic coils and providing a stable structural foundation for multi-layer pot matching heating.

[0032] The above description of the disclosed embodiments enables those skilled in the art to make or use the present invention. Various modifications to these embodiments will be readily apparent to those skilled in the art, and the general principles defined herein may be implemented in other embodiments without departing from the spirit or scope of the present invention. Therefore, the present invention is not to be limited to the embodiments shown herein, but is to be accorded the widest scope consistent with the principles and novel features disclosed herein.
