Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of electric cookware technology, and more specifically to a multi-functional cookware. Background Technology
[0002] An electric pressure cooker is a household appliance that cooks food using high temperature and high pressure. The pressure inside the electric pressure cooker is higher than the pressure in the external environment. By cooking soups, bones, etc., under high temperature and high pressure, food can be cooked more quickly and softened.
[0003] An air fryer uses a heating element to generate heat, and a fan to produce hot airflow that is then sent into the fryer to bake the food at a high temperature. At the same time, the hot airflow blows away the moisture on the surface of the food, giving it an effect similar to deep-frying.
[0004] To reduce the number of prototypes in the kitchen, existing technologies include devices that combine electric pressure cookers and air fryers. The air fryer and pressure cooker share a main unit, which is equipped with two lids of different sizes. When using the pressure cooker function, the user selects the pressure cooker lid; when using the air fryer function, the user selects the air fryer lid.
[0005] The aforementioned existing technology has at least the following technical problems: when the user uses the pressure cooker function, the air fryer lid is idle; when the user uses the air fryer function, the pressure cooker lid is idle; two lids would take up too much kitchen space; and configuring two lids would increase production costs.

[0051] In the description of this application, it should be noted that, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "linking" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to fixed connections, detachable connections, or integral connections; they can refer to mechanical connections or electrical connections; they can refer to direct connections or indirect connections through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal communication between two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this application based on the specific circumstances.
[0052] For multi-functional cookware, please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 1-11 As shown, it includes: an outer cover assembly 100 and a pot body assembly 200;
[0053] The outer cover assembly 100 has an outer cover 110 and a hot air assembly 120, and the outer cover 110 is provided with an upper coupler 130;
[0054] The pot body assembly 200 has an outer pot 210 and an inner pot 220, and the outer pot 210 is provided with an electronic board and a lower coupler 230;
[0055] When the outer cover assembly 100 is installed on top of the pot body assembly 200, the upper coupler 130 and the lower coupler 230 are electrically connected to enable power to the components inside the outer cover assembly 100 that require power.
[0056] When the outer cover assembly 100 is removed from the pot body assembly 200, the upper coupler 130 and the lower coupler 230 separate, and the components inside the outer cover assembly 100 that require power are de-energized.
[0057] Also includes: Inner cover assembly 300;
[0058] The inner cover assembly 300 can be fitted onto and removed from the outer cover 110;
[0059] The inner lid assembly 300 is fitted inside the outer lid 110 and located below the hot air assembly 120. Together with the pot body assembly 200, it forms a pressure cooker, allowing users to quickly cook and soften food using the pressure cooker.
[0060] After the inner cover assembly 300 is removed from the outer cover 110, the outer cover assembly 100 and the pot body assembly 200 work together to form an air fryer, which allows users to bake or fry food.
[0061] This technology allows the multi-functional pot to switch between a pressure cooker and an air fryer by adapting and installing the inner lid assembly 300, thus increasing the product's functionality. One pot body assembly 200 only needs to be matched with one set of outer lid assemblies and one set of inner lid assemblies, eliminating the need to match multiple sets of pot lids, reducing the need for pot lid storage, and also reducing the product cost.
[0062] In one implementation, such as Figure 4 As shown, the inner cover assembly 300 includes an inner cover 310 and a sealing ring 320 disposed on the edge of the inner cover 310; the inner cover 310 is designed in an approximately flat disc shape to reduce the thickness of the inner cover 310, so that even when the inner cover assembly 300 is not in use, it occupies a small storage volume.
[0063] The sealing ring 320 mainly serves a sealing function. The inner lid assembly 300 is installed on the outer lid assembly 100 to form a pressure cooker lid. The pressure cooker lid is installed on the pot body assembly 200 to form a pressure cooker. The sealing ring 320 presses on the upper edge of the inner pot 220 to seal between the inner lid 310 and the inner pot 220, ensuring that the food is cooked under high pressure in the inner pot 220 during cooking.
[0064] Furthermore, such as Figure 4 As shown, the sealing ring 320 is installed on the edge of the inner cover 310 and is located on the side of the inner cover 310 corresponding to the inner pot 220. The sealing ring 320 has a sealing part 321 that protrudes slightly toward the inner pot 220. The sealing part 321 is close to the inner wall of the inner pot 220, so as to better achieve the seal between the inner cover 310 and the inner pot 220.
[0065] Continue as Figure 4 As shown, the inner lid assembly 300 is generally flat and disc-shaped, and is smaller in volume than the outer lid assembly 100; it is also smaller and simpler in structure than the pressure cooker lid in a traditional pressure cooker. Therefore, compared with the traditional device with one main unit and two complete lids, this technology occupies less space when stored and has lower manufacturing costs.
[0066] In one embodiment, the inner lid assembly 300 is snap-fitted onto the outer lid 110. This method facilitates the disassembly and installation of the inner lid assembly 300, allowing for better switching between the pressure cooker and the air fryer.
[0067] Furthermore, such as Figure 4As shown, the outer edge of the inner cover 310 is provided with a snap-fit part 311 and a first slot 312, and the center of the snap-fit part 311, the first slot 312 and the inner cover 310 are distributed on the same straight line; the outer cover 110 is provided with a latch 111 and a second slot 112; when the inner cover assembly 300 is assembled on the outer cover 110, the snap-fit part 311 is engaged in the second slot 112 and the latch 111 is engaged in the first slot 312.
[0068] like Figure 3 As shown, after the inner cover assembly 300 is installed on the outer cover assembly 100, the snap-fit part 311 is snapped into the second slot 112.
[0069] Optionally, the second slot 112 can be a groove that does not penetrate the inner lining of the outer cover 110, or it can be a through hole that penetrates the inner lining of the outer cover 110.
[0070] like Figure 7 and Figure 9 As shown, the latch 111 engages with the first slot 312; the latch 111 is a spring-loaded latch, in Figure 9 As indicated by the orientation, the latch 111 should have a spring force that pops out to the right, so that the latch 111 can be stably locked into the first slot 312;
[0071] Optionally, the latch 111 may be connected to a spring that provides the spring force for the latch 111 to spring out to the right.
[0072] Optionally, the latch 111 can be connected to a trigger and a spring. The spring provides the latch 111 with a spring force to pop out to the right, and the trigger drives the latch 111 to move to the left. When the inner cover assembly 300 needs to be removed, the latch 111 is driven to move to the left and disengage from the first slot 312.
[0073] During installation, the inner cover assembly 300 first engages the latch 311 into the second slot 112, then pushes the inner cover assembly 300 towards the inside of the outer cover assembly 100, bringing the inner cover assembly 300 into contact with the latch 111 and pushing the latch 111 as if... Figure 9 Move to the left as indicated by the orientation, and then move until the latch 111 and the first slot 312 correspond. Then the latch 111 pops out to the right and engages with the first slot 312.
[0074] When disassembly is required, push the latch 111 to the left and move it away from the first slot 312 by triggering the latch, and then remove the inner cover assembly 300.
[0075] In one embodiment, the outer cover 110 is provided with a micro switch 140; the micro switch 140 is triggered when the inner cover assembly 300 is installed on the outer cover 110.
[0076] The micro switch 140 is mainly used to detect whether the inner cover assembly 300 is installed, and to further determine whether the current working mode is pressure cooker or air fryer.
[0077] like Figure 10 As shown, the outer cover 110 has an outer shell 102 and an inner liner 103, and the micro switch 140 is located in the space formed between the outer shell 102 and the inner liner 103;
[0078] The micro switch 140 has a trigger rod 141 that can extend into the inside of the outer cover assembly 100. After the inner cover assembly 300 is installed, the trigger rod 141 can be pushed.
[0079] Furthermore, the trigger rod 141 can extend into the second slot 112, and when the inner cover assembly 300 is installed, the latching part 311 engages with the second slot 112 while pushing the trigger rod 141.
[0080] The micro switch 140 has two states: open and closed. When the inner cover assembly 300 is installed, the trigger rod 141 is pushed by the latching part 311 to make the micro switch 140 open. After the inner cover assembly 300 is removed, the latching part 311 no longer acts on the trigger rod 141, and the trigger rod 141 resets to make the micro switch 140 open.
[0081] Furthermore, the micro switch 140 is electrically connected to the upper coupler 130, and the upper coupler 130 is electrically connected to the lower coupler 230; the micro switch 140 transmits signals to the electronic board through the upper coupler 130 and the lower coupler 230 to identify different operating modes.
[0082] The electronic control panel has a pressure cooker mode, which includes menus for stewing bones, cooking grains, stewing chicken, and cooking porridge.
[0083] Meanwhile, the electronic board's operating program is set with an air fryer working mode, which includes function menus such as defrosting, heating, frying French fries, and frying chicken nuggets.
[0084] The aforementioned transmission of signals to the electronic board via the on / off state of the microswitch 140 to identify different operating modes is as follows:
[0085] When the inner cover assembly 300 is not installed, the micro switch 140 is off, and the micro switch 140 has no signal transmission to the electronic board. Since the electronic board does not receive a signal from the micro switch 140, it automatically identifies the air fryer working mode. Users can only select the function menu in the air fryer working mode.
[0086] After the inner cover assembly 300 is installed, push the trigger rod 141 to connect the micro switch 140. The micro switch 140 outputs a signal to the electronic board. When the electronic board receives the signal from the micro switch 140, it automatically recognizes the pressure cooker working mode. The user can only select the function menu in the pressure cooker working mode.
[0087] The above ensures that users will not select the wrong function menu in different working modes, and the multi-functional cooker will not execute the function menu of the pressure cooker working mode when the inner lid component 300 is not installed; nor will it execute the function menu of the air fryer working mode when the inner lid component 300 is installed, making it safer to use.
[0088] The specific contents of the above function menu can be modified;
[0089] The micro switch 140 is electrically connected to the upper coupler 130, specifically through a wire connection, to achieve power supply.
[0090] Furthermore, such as Figure 4 and Figure 10 As shown, the outer cover 110 is provided with a temperature control component 150, which is electrically connected to the upper coupler 130. Specifically, the temperature control component 150 and the upper coupler 130 are connected by a wire.
[0091] The temperature control component 150 is installed in the liner 103 and extends downward through the liner 103. The temperature control component 150 is close to the upper heating element 124 of the hot air component 120 and detects the temperature of the upper heating element 124.
[0092] The temperature control component 150 can be a temperature sensor. The temperature control component 150 detects the temperature of the upper heating element 124 and transmits it to the electronic board. The electronic board adjusts the operating parameters according to the signal from the temperature control component 150, such as adjusting the power of the upper heating element 124 or adjusting whether the upper heating element 124 is running.
[0093] The temperature control component 150 can be a mechanical temperature control switch, such as controlling the switch by the principle of magnet demagnetization when heated. For example, when the temperature is too high, the magnetic attraction weakens, and the lever switch cuts off the power; when the temperature drops, the magnetic attraction is restored, and the circuit is reconnected.
[0094] In one embodiment, the outer cover 110 is provided with a viewing window 113 for observing the inner pot 220; the projection of the viewing window 113 on the horizontal plane is located outside the projection of the hot air assembly 120 on the horizontal plane, ensuring that the hot air assembly 120 does not obstruct the user from observing the cooking status of the inner pot 220 through the viewing window 113.
[0095] Furthermore, the inner cover assembly 300 is assembled on the outer cover 110. The projections of the viewing window 113 and the hot air assembly 120 on the horizontal plane are superimposed on the projection of the inner cover assembly 300 on the horizontal plane. After the inner cover assembly 300 is installed, it is impossible to observe the cooking status of the inner pot 220 through the viewing window 113.
[0096] As can be seen from the above, the viewing window 113 can only be used to observe the cooking status of the inner pot 220 when the multi-functional cooker is used as an air fryer. When the multi-functional cooker is used as a pressure cooker, the cooking status of the inner pot 220 cannot be observed through the viewing window 113.
[0097] Furthermore, the outer cover 110 is constructed with a mounting cavity 101 for the hot air assembly 120, and viewing windows 113 are distributed around the mounting cavity 101 to ensure that the hot air assembly 120 does not obstruct the user from observing the cooking process in the inner pot 220 through the viewing window 113.
[0098] The hot air assembly 120 includes a cooling fan blade 121, a hot air fan blade 122, a motor 123, and an upper heating element 124;
[0099] Motor 123 simultaneously drives the cooling fan blade 121 and the heating fan blade 122. The cooling fan blade 121 and the heating fan blade 122 are separated within the outer cover 110. This separation can be achieved by the outer shell 102 and the inner liner 103, or by other components such as partitions. When used as an air fryer, the heating fan blade 122 primarily circulates hot air within the inner pot 220 to achieve air frying; while the cooling fan blade 121 mainly dissipates heat from the outer cover assembly 100.
[0100] Furthermore, when used as a pressure cooker, the motor 123 drives the cooling fan blade 121 and the heating fan blade 122 to rotate, which can also achieve rapid cooling of the outer lid assembly 100 and the inner lid assembly 300, enabling rapid opening of the lid.
[0101] In one implementation, such as Figure 2 and Figure 11 As shown, the outer pot 210 protrudes radially outward to form a boss 240, and a box 250 with a sliding groove 251 is installed below the boss 240; the lower coupler 230 is assembled into the sliding groove 251 via a sliding plate 252.
[0102] When the outer cover assembly 100 is assembled onto the pot body assembly 200, the upper coupler 130 and the lower coupler 230 are connected. When the outer cover assembly 100 rotates on the pot body assembly 200, the upper coupler 130 drives the lower coupler 230 to move along the sliding groove 251, so that the outer cover assembly 100 can stably and reliably supply power to the electrical components inside the outer cover assembly 100 during the rotation, locking and unlocking process on the pot body assembly 200.
[0103] Continue as Figure 11As shown, the lower coupler 230 is fixed to the slide plate 252 with screws. The slide plate 252 is assembled into the sliding groove 251. The length of the slide plate 252 is less than the length of the sliding groove 251.
[0104] Furthermore, both the sliding groove 251 and the sliding plate 252 are arc-shaped. When the outer cover assembly 100 rotates on the pot body assembly 200, the sliding plate 252 moves along the sliding groove 251.
[0105] The boss 240 has an opening 241. The box 250 is snap-fitted to the boss 240 from below. The lower coupler 230 protrudes upward through the opening 241. After assembly, it is as follows: Figure 2 As shown.
[0106] Furthermore, such as Figure 11 As shown, a limiting rod 253 is provided at the box body 250. The limiting rod 253 is connected to a spring, and the spring provides the limiting rod 253 with an upward elastic force; as Figure 2 As shown, when the outer cover assembly 100 is not installed, the limit rod 253 pops up and protrudes from the upper surface of the boss 240.
[0107] Continue as Figure 11 As shown, a groove 2521 is provided at the slide plate 252. After the limiting rod 253 moves upward and pops out, it gets stuck in the groove 2521, restricting the slide plate 252 from moving.
[0108] That is, such as Figure 2 As shown, at this time, the lower coupler 230 is in the unlocked position, the limiting rod 253 protrudes upward from the upper surface of the boss 240, and inside the box 250, the limiting rod 253 is stuck in the groove 2521, so that the slide plate 252 cannot move along the sliding groove 251.
[0109] When the outer cover assembly 100 is installed, the upper coupler 130 and the lower coupler 230 are inserted. Simultaneously, the outer cover assembly 100 pushes the limiting rod 253 downwards, causing it to disengage from the groove 2521. As the outer cover assembly 100 rotates and locks onto the pot body assembly 200, the sliding plate 252 carries the lower coupler 230 along the sliding groove 251. Figure 2 Move along the arrow direction until you reach the locked position;
[0110] When unlocked, the outer cover assembly 100 rotates in the opposite direction on the pot body assembly 200, and the slide plate 252, carrying the lower coupler 230, moves along the upper edge of the sliding groove 251. Figure 2 When the middle arrow moves in the opposite direction, the outer cover assembly 100 and the pot body assembly 200 are unlocked. The outer cover assembly 100 is removed from the pot body assembly 200. The limiting rod 253 moves upward under the elastic force of the spring and is re-locked in the groove 2521. The sliding plate 252 cannot be moved.
[0111] In this embodiment, the power-conducting components installed in the outer cover assembly 100 include, but are limited to, the upper coupler 130, micro switch 140, motor 123, upper heating element 124 and temperature control assembly 150 described above. Here, the power-conducting components can be connected by wires to achieve electrical connection. The specific connection method is not limited here.
[0112] The upper coupler 130 and the lower coupler 230 are electrically connected. The specific structure and principle of the upper coupler 130 and the lower coupler 230 are not specifically limited here. However, the connection between the upper coupler 130 and the lower coupler 230 enables electrical connection and signal transmission, which is a common technical means in this field.
[0113] In this technology, the inner pot 220 can be movably installed on the outer pot 210, that is, the inner pot 220 can be put into the outer pot 210 or taken out from the outer pot 210. When used as an air fryer, it can also be equipped with a baking basket, baking rack, etc.
