[0002] This utility model relates to the field of cooking, and more specifically, to a cooking utensil. Background Technology

[0003] Traditional cooking appliances use a motor to rotate a stirring arm, which then adheres to the pot to stir the ingredients inside, achieving uniform mixing during cooking. However, gaps can easily exist between the stirring arm and the pot, causing some ingredients to remain stuck to the pot for extended periods without being stirred, affecting the mixing effect. In addition, the overall structural design of the stirring arm has many dead corners, making cleaning the device difficult. Utility Model Content

[0004] The main objective of this invention is to provide a cooking appliance to solve the problem of poor stirring effect in existing cooking appliances.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides a cooking utensil, including a pot body, a stirring component, a connecting component, and a scraper. The stirring component is rotatably disposed within the pot body. One end of the connecting component is connected to the stirring component, and the scraper is connected to the end of the connecting component away from the stirring component. The scraper is interference-fitted with the inner wall of the pot body. The connecting component is an elastic part, and the scraper is deformed by the pressure of the pot body. And / or, the scraper is an elastic part, and the scraper is deformed by the pressure of the pot body.

[0006] Furthermore, the scraper component forms a cantilever structure relative to the agitator component via a connector.

[0007] Furthermore, there are multiple scraper components, with at least two scraper components arranged sequentially along the axial direction of the pot body, and respectively abutting against the top inner wall and bottom inner wall of the pot body.

[0008] Furthermore, the agitator includes a base and a connecting arm, with both ends of the connecting arm connected to the base and the connecting component, respectively.

[0009] Furthermore, the scraper includes a lower scraper located at the bottom of the pot body, wherein the side of the connecting arm is spaced apart from the lower scraper; or the side of the connecting arm is spaced apart from the lower scraper, and the connecting arm and / or the connecting member has an extension section located within the spaced area and covering the spaced area.

[0010] Furthermore, the connector includes a first section and a second section that are bent and connected in sequence. The end of the first section away from the second section is connected to the stirring component, and the second section is connected to the scraper component.

[0011] Furthermore, one of the scraper and the connector has a slot, and the other of the scraper and the connector has a plug-in portion that is inserted into the slot to detachably connect the scraper and the connector.

[0012] Furthermore, the scraper includes a first end and a second end arranged along the axial direction of the pot body. Along the rotation direction of the scraper, the first end is located at the front end in the rotation direction, and the second end is farther away from the bottom surface of the pot body in the axial direction of the pot body than the first end.

[0013] Furthermore, the scraper has a sheet-like structure, the pot body has a cross-section perpendicular to the axis, and the surface of the sheet-like structure is inclined relative to the cross-section along the radial direction of the pot body.

[0014] Furthermore, the cooking appliance also includes a drive assembly, which includes a drive shaft, a stirring element that is threadedly connected to the drive shaft, and the direction of loosening of the thread is opposite to the direction of rotation of the stirring element.

[0015] Furthermore, the drive shaft has a mounting hole, which includes a first hole section and a second hole section connected axially in sequence, and the diameter of the first hole section is larger than the diameter of the second hole section. The transition area between the first hole section and the second hole section forms a guide slope. The bottom end of the agitator has a stud, which extends from the first hole section into the second hole section and is threaded into the second hole section.

[0016] Furthermore, an installation area is formed between the stirring element and the drive shaft, and the threaded structure of the stirring element and the drive shaft is located within the installation area. The cooking appliance also includes a seal, which is located within the installation area and seals the installation area.

[0017] Furthermore, the cooking appliance also includes a drive assembly, which includes a drive shaft connected to the stirring member and drives the scraper to rotate. The cooking appliance also includes a sensor and a detection member. The sensor is connected to the drive shaft and rotates synchronously, and the detection member detects the position of the sensor. Furthermore, the drive assembly includes a driven wheel connected to the drive shaft and rotates synchronously. The sensor and the driven wheel are stacked, and at least one of the sensor and the driven wheel has an arc-shaped groove. The drive assembly also includes a fastener that passes through the arc-shaped groove and locks the sensor and the driven wheel together.

[0018] By applying the technical solution of this utility model, at least one of the scraper and the connector is set as an elastic component. Combined with the interference fit between the scraper and the inner wall of the pot, the scraper and the inner wall of the pot are more tightly fitted, thereby improving the stirring effect. Specifically, the fit between the scraper and the connector, and the elastic component, allow the scraper to drive the connector or only the scraper to deform, thus causing the scraper to move. The interference fit between the scraper and the pot body compresses the elastic scraper and / or the connector, placing them in a compressed state. When the scraper and the inner wall of the pot tend to move away from each other due to external forces or wear, the force between them decreases, thus reducing the stress on the scraper and the connecting parts. The elastic components also cause the scraper and / or the connecting parts to expand, pulling the scraper closer to the inner wall. Conversely, when the scraper and the inner wall move closer together due to external forces, the force between them increases, increasing the stress on the scraper and the connecting parts. The elastic components again cause the scraper and / or the connecting parts to compress, pulling the scraper away from the inner wall. Thus, the connecting parts, the scraper, and the inner wall are always in a state of equilibrium, ensuring a tight fit between the scraper and the inner wall, improving the bonding effect, and ultimately guaranteeing the stirring effect.

[0036] To address the problem of poor stirring performance in existing cooking appliances, this invention provides a new type of cooking appliance.

[0037] Example 1

[0038] Figures 1 to 7 The cooking appliance shown includes a pot body 10, a stirring element 20, a connecting element 30, and a scraper 40. The stirring element 20 is rotatably disposed inside the pot body 10. One end of the connecting element 30 is connected to the stirring element 20. The scraper 40 is connected to the end of the connecting element 30 away from the stirring element 20. The scraper 40 is interference-fitted with the inner wall of the pot body 10. The connecting element 30 is an elastic component. The scraper 40 is deformed by the pressure of the pot body 10; and / or, the scraper 40 is an elastic component. The scraper 40 is deformed by the pressure of the pot body 10.

[0039] In this embodiment, by making at least one of the scraper 40 and the connector 30 an elastic component, and with the interference fit between the scraper 40 and the inner wall of the pot body 10, the scraper 40 fits more tightly against the inner wall of the pot body 10, thereby improving the stirring effect. Specifically, the fit between the scraper 40 and the connector 30 and the elastic component allow the scraper 40 to drive the connector 30 or only the scraper 40 to deform, thereby causing the scraper 40 to move. The interference fit between the scraper 40 and the pot body 10 causes the elastic scraper 40 and / or the connector 30 to be compressed, and the scraper 40 and / or the connector 30 are in a compressed state. When the scraper 40 and the inner wall of the pot body 10 tend to move away from each other due to external forces or wear, the force between the scraper 40 and the inner wall of the pot body 10 decreases, thus reducing the force on the scraper 40 and the connecting member 30. Furthermore, due to the elastic component, the scraper 40 and / or the connecting member 30 tend to unfold, thereby causing the scraper 40 to move closer to the inner wall of the pot body 10. When the scraper 40 and the inner wall of the pot body 10 tend to move closer to each other due to external forces, the scraper 40 and the pot body 10... The increased force between the inner walls of the pot increases the stress on the scraper 40 and the connector 30. Furthermore, the elastic component causes the scraper 40 and / or connector 30 to compress, driving the scraper 40 away from the inner wall of the pot 10. This ensures that the connector 30, scraper 40, and inner wall of the pot 10 are always in a balanced state, and the scraper 40 and inner wall of the pot 10 are always in an interference fit, guaranteeing a tight fit between the scraper 40 and the inner wall of the pot 10, improving the bonding effect, and thus ensuring the stirring effect.

[0040] It should be noted that the up and down direction refers to the axial direction of the pot body 10, that is, the direction perpendicular to the direction of rotation. Figure 1 The up and down directions in the middle.

[0041] In this embodiment, the scraper 40 forms a cantilever structure relative to the stirring member 20 via the connector 30. This cantilever structure, combined with the interference fit between the scraper 40 and the inner wall of the pot body 10, allows for a tighter fit between the scraper 40 and the inner wall of the pot body 10. Specifically, the cantilever structure and elastic components of the scraper 40 and connector 30 enable the scraper 40 to drive the connector 30, or even just the scraper 40 itself, to deform, thereby improving the stirring effect.

[0042] This embodiment uses the connector 30 as an example of an elastic component. Of course, the scraper 40 can also be set as an elastic component, or both the connector 30 and the scraper 40 can be set as elastic components. The working method and specific effect are similar to this embodiment, and will not be described again.

[0043] In this embodiment, there are multiple scraper components 40, with at least two scraper components 40 arranged sequentially along the axial direction of the pot body 10, and respectively abutting against the top inner wall and bottom inner wall of the pot body 10, to reduce the dead angle of the scraper components 40 and improve the stirring effect. Specifically, in this embodiment, two scraper components 40 are provided, staggered in the vertical direction at different heights of the stirring component 20. Correspondingly, two connecting components 30 are also provided, so that the two scraper components 40 cooperate with the different heights of the pot body 10 to scrape the bottom and side walls, thereby facilitating the scraper components 40 to stir food at different heights within the pot body 10, while avoiding interference. Of course, the number of scraper components 40 can also be set to other numbers according to actual needs, and the number of connecting components 30 can be matched with the number of scraper components 40 to fix the scraper components 40 to the stirring component 20 at different heights.

[0044] In this embodiment, considering that the stirring member 20 serves as a supporting component for the connecting member 30 and the scraper member 40, and that the stirring member 20 needs to rotate continuously, the stirring member 20 needs to possess a certain strength. The main function of the scraper member 40 is to adhere to the inner wall of the pot body 10 to improve the stirring effect. A relatively thin material is prone to deformation, which is beneficial for adhering to the inner wall of the pot body 10. Therefore, along the circumference of the pot body 10, the thickness of the scraper member 40 can usually be set to be less than the thickness of the stirring member 20. Optionally, the scraper member 40 can be made of sheet metal, which has good elasticity and is beneficial for improving the adhesion between the scraper member 40 and the inner wall of the pot body 10. Of course, in this application, the thickness of the scraper member 40 can also be set to be greater than or equal to the thickness of the stirring member 20, depending on the actual usage. This application does not impose specific limitations. The stirring component 20 in this embodiment includes a base 21 and a connecting arm 22. The connecting arm 22 is a curved rod-shaped component that extends obliquely along the vertical direction of the pot body 10. The base 21 is located at the bottom of the pot body 10. The bottom end of the connecting arm 22 is connected to the base 21, and the top side of the connecting arm 22 is connected to the connecting member 30. Furthermore, the connecting arm 22 and the connecting member 30 can be an integral structure or a separate structure. Similarly, the base 21 and the connecting arm 22 can also be an integral structure or a separate structure as needed.

[0045] This embodiment uses two scraper components 40 as an example. The two scraper components 40 are designated as an upper scraper component 45 and a lower scraper component 46, with the upper scraper component 45 located above the lower scraper component 46. To achieve the arrangement of the upper scraper component 45 and the lower scraper component 46, this embodiment also provides two connecting arms 22 and two connecting members 30. Both connecting arms 22 extend upwards by a certain distance, and the heights of their top ends can be different. The connecting member 30 is set at the top end to install the two scraper components 40. Alternatively, the top ends of the two connecting arms 22 can be at the same height, in which case the different heights of the two scraper components 40 can be achieved by changing the installation position of the connecting member 30 on the connecting arm 22. Since the connecting arm 22 generally extends upwards along the inner wall of the pot body 10, and the scraper component 40 needs to cooperate with the inner wall of the pot body 10, the connecting member 30 extends approximately laterally by a certain distance, so that the connecting arm 22 and the scraper component 40 are connected. For the lower scraper 46, the connector 30 in this embodiment mainly serves to connect the connecting arm 22 and the lower scraper 46. Therefore, there is a certain gap between the side of the connecting arm 22 and the lower scraper 46. That is, the gap is located between the side of the connecting arm 22 and the lower scraper 46 and is located below the connector 30, so that the side of the connecting arm 22 and the lower scraper 46 are spaced apart.

[0046] In this embodiment, the connector 30 is the main component that deforms to adjust the fit between the scraper 40 and the inner wall of the pot body 10. The connector 30 includes a first segment 31 and a second segment 32 that are bent and connected in sequence. The end of the first segment 31 away from the second segment 32 is connected to the stirring member 20, so that the connector 30 can rotate with the stirring member 20. The second segment 32 is connected to the scraper 40, so that the scraper 40 can rotate with the stirring member 20. The first segment 31 extends radially along the pot body 10, and the second segment 32 is bent and connected to the first segment 31, forming an angle greater than 90° at the bend. This allows deformation to occur at the bend of the first segment 31 and the second segment 32 when the scraper 40 is subjected to force, that is, the angle between the first segment 31 and the second segment 32 changes, thereby adjusting the fit between the scraper 40 and the inner wall of the pot body 10 to ensure the fit effect between the scraper 40 and the inner wall of the pot body 10.

[0047] In this embodiment, one of the scraper 40 and the connector 30 has a slot, and the other has a plug-in portion. The plug-in portion is inserted into the slot to detachably connect the scraper 40 and the connector 30. Specifically, in this embodiment, the second segment 32 of the connector 30 has a groove extending through the thickness direction on the side near the scraper 40, thereby forming two protrusions on both sides of the groove. The protrusions serve as plug-in portions. A slot is formed on the side of the scraper 40 in the thickness direction to engage with the two protrusions. The shape of the slot matches the shape of the protrusions so that the protrusions are inserted into the slot, thereby fixing the scraper 40 and the connector 30 and preventing the scraper 40 from coming out when the connector 30 and the scraper 40 rotate with the stirring member 20. When cleaning is required, the protrusions are pulled out of the slot, separating the scraper 40 and the connector 30 for easy cleaning. Optionally, the slot can be a square groove, a round hole, etc., and the protrusions can be square, cylindrical, etc. Of course, the connector 30 and the scraper 40 can also be fixed by setting a slot on the second section 32 of the connector 30 and a protrusion on the scraper 40. This plug-in connection between the scraper 40 and the connector 30 makes the scraper 40 easy to disassemble and remove food residue in time. On the other hand, the fact that the scraper 40 does not use fastening parts reduces the amount of food residue that stays on the scraper 40, thereby reducing the risk of food residue hiding on the scraper 40 and breeding bacteria.

[0048] In this embodiment, the cooking appliance also includes a drive assembly 50, which includes a drive shaft 51. The stirring element 20 is threadedly connected to the drive shaft 51, and the direction of loosening the thread is opposite to the rotation direction of the stirring element 20. The rotation direction of the pot body 10 is opposite to the rotation direction of the stirring element 20. In this way, on the one hand, as the stirring element 20 rotates with the drive shaft 51, the thread tightens more and more, making the connection between the stirring element 20 and the drive shaft 51 more secure and reliable, avoiding frequent maintenance of the cooking appliance caused by the stirring element 20 loosening. On the other hand, the opposite rotation between the pot body 10 and the stirring element 20 helps to improve the stirring effect.

[0049] In this embodiment, the drive shaft 51 has a mounting hole 511, which includes a first hole section 512 and a second hole section 513 connected axially in sequence. The diameter of the first hole section 512 is larger than the diameter of the second hole section 513. The transition area between the first hole section 512 and the second hole section 513 forms a guide slope. The bottom end of the stirring member 20 has a stud, which extends from the first hole section 512 into the second hole section 513 and is threadedly engaged with the second hole section 513. Specifically, the stud of the agitator 20 has external threads, and the second hole section 513 has internal threads. The stud of the agitator 20 is screwed into the second hole section 513. Since the first hole section 512 is located above the second hole section 513, the stud needs to enter the first hole section 512 first. Since the inner diameter of the first hole section 512 is larger than the outer diameter of the stud, the stud only needs to be roughly aligned when it is inserted into the first hole section 512. During the insertion process, the stud can abut against the guide slope, and thus accurately align with the second hole section 513 under the guidance of the guide slope, thereby achieving the effect of facilitating the smooth screwing of the stud into the second hole section 513.

[0050] In this embodiment, an installation area is formed between the stirring element 20 and the drive shaft 51. The threaded structure of the stirring element 20 and the drive shaft 51 is located within the installation area. In this embodiment, a recess is provided at the bottom of the stirring element 20, and a part of the stud is located in the recess. The top end of the drive shaft 51 can extend into the recess, thereby achieving the fit between the stirring element 20 and the drive shaft 51. Within this recess, the installation area is formed between the stirring element 20 and the drive shaft 51, and the stud and other components are naturally located within the installation area. At the same time, in order to ensure that the food inside the pot 10 does not come into contact with the threads, thereby causing bacterial growth and affecting the service life of the cooking appliance, the cooking appliance is equipped with a sealing element 60. The sealing element 60 is located within the installation area and seals the installation area. In this way, the sealing element 60 seals the gap between the installation area and the outside, thereby separating the stud and other components within the installation area from the outside, thus isolating external food from contact with the threads, making the entire structure simple, hygienic, easy to disassemble, and convenient to clean. Preferably, in this embodiment, the sealing element 60 uses an O-ring. An annular groove is provided on the outer circumferential surface above the drive shaft 51 at the position where it mates with the stirring element 20 to accommodate the O-ring. When the stud of the drive shaft 51 is screwed into the mounting hole 511, the drive shaft 51 compresses the O-ring, thereby sealing the mounting area. Of course, other methods can also be used to seal the mounting area, as long as the sealing purpose is achieved and food is prevented from entering the mounting hole 511. For example, the sealing element 60 can also use a sealing gasket placed between the lower surface of the stirring element 20 and the upper surface of the drive shaft 51.

[0051] In this embodiment, the drive shaft 51 is driven to the stirring element 20, causing the scraper element 40 to rotate. The cooking appliance also includes a sensor 70 and a detection element 80. The sensor 70 is connected to the drive shaft 51 and rotates synchronously, while the detection element 80 detects the position of the sensor 70. During installation, the stirring element 20 is first adjusted to the same initial position, and then the sensor 70 and detection element 80 are adjusted to the same relative position, ensuring that the position of the scraper element 40 is consistent for each appliance shipped from the factory. In this way, the drive shaft 51 can drive the stirring element 20 and the sensor 70 to rotate synchronously, allowing the detection element 80 to determine the position of the scraper element 40 by detecting the position of the sensor 70, thereby detecting the working status of the cooking appliance.

[0052] In this embodiment, the sensing element 70 has a radially protruding protrusion 71, which can trigger the detection element 80 when the sensing element 70 rotates. Specifically, the sensing element 70 has an irregular ring structure, with a radially protruding portion at the edge of the circumferential portion of the sensing element 70, which is the protrusion 71. This results in the distance from the outer edge of the sensing element 70 to the drive shaft 51 not being completely uniform. The detection element 80 can be a component such as a photoelectric switch. In this embodiment, the sensing element 70 is sheet-shaped, and its plane passes through the detection gap of the detection element 80. Due to the setting of the protrusion 71, when the sensing element 70 rotates, the protrusion 71 can switch between a position extending into the detection gap of the detection element 80 and a position exiting the detection gap of the detection element 80. Thus, when the protrusion 71 is located in the detection gap, the protrusion 71 blocks the light signal emitted by the detection element 80, thereby placing the detection element 80 in one state. When the protrusion 71 exits the detection gap, the sensing element 70 no longer blocks the light signal emitted by the detection element 80, thereby placing the detection element 80 in another state. This achieves the detection of the position of the sensing element 70, and also the detection of the positions of the stirring element 20 and the scraper element 40.

[0053] In this embodiment, the drive assembly 50 further includes a driven wheel 90, which is drivenly connected to the transmission shaft 51 and rotates synchronously. A sensing element 70 is stacked on top of the driven wheel 90, and at least one of the sensing element 70 and the driven wheel 90 has an arc-shaped groove. The drive assembly 50 also includes a fastener 52, which passes through the arc-shaped groove and locks the sensing element 70 and the driven wheel 90 together. Specifically, the drive assembly 50 in this embodiment is driven by a motor and includes a motor. The output end of the motor is provided with a bevel gear, and the axis of the bevel gear is perpendicular to the axis of the driven wheel 90, meshing with each other. A D-shaped hole is provided at the center of the driven wheel 90, and the transmission shaft 51 has a matching shape and passes through the D-shaped hole, achieving synchronous rotation of the driven wheel 90 and the transmission shaft 51. In this embodiment, an arc-shaped groove is provided through the thickness direction of the sensing element 70, that is, the axial direction of the whole. Correspondingly, a bolt hole is provided on the driven wheel 90, and the position of the bolt hole is set in the same position as the arc-shaped groove. In this way, the bolt can be inserted into the bolt hole and the arc-shaped groove. Due to the shape of the arc-shaped groove, the bolt can move within the arc-shaped groove, thereby adjusting the positional relationship between the sensing element 70 and the driven wheel 90. After the adjustment is completed, tightening the bolt can lock the sensing element 70 and the driven wheel 90 together, so as to achieve the effect of the transmission shaft 51 driving the sensing element 70 to rotate together. In this way, the arc-shaped groove allows for adjustment of the circumferential position of the sensor 70 relative to the driven wheel 90, making the fixing of the driven wheel 90 and the sensor 70 more flexible. During adjustment, the positions of the stirring component 20 and the sensor 70 can be adjusted separately; that is, adjusting the stirring component 20 does not affect the sensor 70, and adjusting the sensor 70 does not affect the stirring component 20. This ensures that the position of the scraper component 40 is consistent in every piece of equipment shipped from the factory, while also guaranteeing effective cooperation between the sensor 70 and the detection component 80. Of course, the fixing method between the driven wheel 90 and the drive shaft 51 is not limited to this; gears or other fixing methods can also be used. The fixing method between the driven wheel 90 and the sensor 70 can also be configured by setting an arc-shaped groove on the driven wheel 90 and bolt holes on the sensor plate, as long as the purpose of flexible fixing is achieved.

[0054] Preferably, in this embodiment, multiple sets of bolt holes are evenly distributed along the circumference of the driven wheel 90. Correspondingly, multiple sets of arc-shaped grooves are arranged along the circumference of the sensing element 70. Each arc-shaped groove contains one or more bolts, thereby making the adjustable fit between the driven wheel 90 and the sensing element 70 more accurate and stable.

[0055] Example 2

[0056] The difference from Embodiment 1 is that the way the lower scraper 46 and the connecting arm 22 are fitted is different.

[0057] like Figure 8 and Figure 9As shown, in this embodiment, there is a gap between the side of the connecting arm 22 and the lower scraper 46. This gap is the same as the gap in Embodiment 1. However, in this embodiment, the gap is not empty; rather, it is used to cover the gap. Specifically, the connecting arm 22 and / or the connecting member 30 have an extension section 33. In this embodiment, the connecting member 30 has an extension section 33 that extends downwards towards the bottom surface of the pot body 10, thereby extending into the gap area and covering it. In this way, the extension section 33 blocks the gap area, preventing food from passing through it. This ensures that when stirring the food, the scraper 40, in conjunction with the connecting member 30 and other components, can thoroughly stir-fry the food at the bottom of the pot body 10, ensuring the cooking effect.

[0058] It should be noted that, considering actual cooking needs, the aforementioned extension section 33 is mainly located between the lower scraper 46 and the corresponding connecting arm 22. For the area above the connecting member 30 corresponding to the lower scraper 46 and at the upper scraper 45, the extension section 33 may not be provided, or it may be added as needed. Furthermore, the extension section 33 can be located not only on the connecting member 30 but also on the connecting arm 22, as long as it can cover the gap between the connecting arm 22 and the lower scraper, preventing food from passing through that area.

[0059] Example 3

[0060] The difference from Embodiment 1 is that the scraper 40 is configured differently in this embodiment.

[0061] like Figure 10As shown, in this embodiment, the scraper 40 includes a first end 41 and a second end 42. The first end 41 and the second end 42 are arranged along the axial direction of the pot body 10. Along the rotation direction of the scraper 40, the first end 41 is at the front end in the rotation direction, and the second end 42 is farther away from the bottom surface of the pot body 10 than the first end 41 in the axial direction of the pot body 10. During the rotation of the pot body, since the first end 41 is in front of the second end 42, the first end 41 will contact the food first. Then the food passes through the surface of the scraper 40 and reaches the second end 42. In this way, the same batch of food contacts the first end 41 of the scraper 40 first and then contacts the second end 42 of the scraper 40. The food moves a longer distance on the scraper 40, which can enhance the stirring effect. Meanwhile, for the first end 41 and the second end 42, their axial positions along the axial direction of the pot body 10 are different. This results in an inclined shape at both ends, meaning the line connecting the first end 41 and the second end 42 is inclined relative to the cross-section of the pot body 10 perpendicular to its axis. This makes the two ends of the scraper 40 appear to be one in front of the other and one high and one low, improving the stirring effect on the ingredients and thus enhancing the cooking effect. In this embodiment, the second end 42 is farther from the bottom surface of the pot body 10 than the first end 41. Furthermore, the scraper 40 is configured such that, along the rotation direction of the pot body, the first end 41 is in front of the second end 42. The first end 41 will contact the ingredients first, and then the ingredients will pass over the surface of the scraper 40 to reach the second end 42. Taking the opening of the pot body 10 facing upwards as an example, when the scraper 40 rotates under the drive of the stirring member 20, the ingredients will have an upward tendency under the action of the scraper 40, thus lifting and then falling down for stirring.

[0062] Example 4

[0063] The difference from Embodiment 1 is that the scraper 40 is configured differently in this embodiment.

[0064] like Figure 11 As shown, in this embodiment, the scraper 40 still has a sheet-like structure, but the sheet-like structure is not vertical; instead, it is tilted. Specifically, the pot body 10 has a cross-section perpendicular to its axis. When the axis of the pot body 10 is vertical, the cross-section is a horizontal cross-section. Along the radial direction of the pot body 10, the surface of the sheet-like structure is tilted relative to the cross-section. That is, the sheet-like structure has an inner scraper side 43 near the center of the pot body 10 and an outer scraper side 44 near the inner wall of the pot body 10, and the sheet-like structure is tilted in the inward and outward directions. In this embodiment, the outer scraper side 44 is preferably higher than the inner scraper side 43, so that the sheet-like structure is tilted upward in the direction away from the center of the pot body 10, making the scraper 40 have a tilted surface. In this way, when stirring food, it can also drive the food to move up and down, making the stirring effect of the food better, and the cooking effect better.

[0065] It should be noted that the two tilting methods in Embodiments 3 and 4 can be set simultaneously or individually.

[0066] It should be noted that "multiple" in the above embodiments refers to at least two.

[0067] As can be seen from the above description, the embodiments of this utility model achieve the following technical effects:

[0068] 1. This solves the problem of unsatisfactory stirring effect of existing cooking utensils;

[0069] 2. By setting up flexible connectors to connect the scraper to form a cantilever structure, and with the interference fit between the scraper and the inner wall of the pot, the scraper fits more tightly with the inner wall of the pot, thereby improving the stirring effect.

[0070] 3. The connecting parts, scraper parts, and inner wall of the pot are always in a balanced state, so that the scraper parts and the inner wall of the pot are always in an interference state, thereby ensuring a tight fit between the scraper parts and the inner wall of the pot, improving the fit effect, and thus ensuring the stirring effect.

[0071] 4. The tilted design of the scraper makes stirring and cooking more effective.
