Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of kitchen appliance technology, specifically relating to a cooking utensil. Background Technology

[0002] The circuit board is a crucial component of cooking appliances, typically mounted inside the pot body via a circuit board bracket. To collect condensation and other liquids that enter the pot from above, a drip tray is also installed inside the pot. Usually, the circuit board bracket and drip tray need to be installed separately during pot assembly, a complex and inefficient process. Furthermore, when they are installed close together, interference can easily occur, further increasing the difficulty of installation. Moreover, since the circuit board bracket and drip tray are two separate components, their production costs are relatively high.

[0003] To address this, some existing cooking appliances integrate the circuit board support and the water collection box into a single accessory or component, allowing for simultaneous installation inside the pot. However, while this method integrates the circuit board support and water collection box, installation remains challenging. For example, the common method involves screwing in screws, which requires tightening each screw individually, and the screw angles can be tricky, making the tightening process inconvenient and limiting assembly efficiency. Furthermore, the use of screws also increases manufacturing costs. Utility Model Content

[0004] This utility model provides a cooking appliance to solve the problems of complex installation and low assembly efficiency of circuit board brackets and water collection boxes.

[0005] The technical solution adopted in this utility model is as follows:

[0006] A cooking appliance includes a pot body and a circuit board support placed inside the pot body. The circuit board support is vertically placed at the rear end of the pot body. The circuit board support has a mounting side facing the inside of the pot body and a water guiding side away from the inside of the pot body. The mounting side is provided with a mounting position for mounting the circuit board, and the water guiding side is provided with a water guiding channel. The pot body includes an outer cover, a middle ring located above the outer cover, and a base located below the outer cover. The middle ring and the base clamp and fix the circuit board support.

[0007] In this invention, a circuit board bracket is vertically positioned at the rear end of the pot body, dividing the space at the rear of the pot body into a side facing the interior of the pot and a side away from the interior of the pot. The circuit board bracket itself further divides these two spaces. The side facing the interior of the pot is the mounting side, used to mount the circuit board. This brings the circuit board closer to the electrical components inside the pot, facilitating electrical connections, shortening wire length, and optimizing the internal structural layout and wiring. The side away from the interior of the pot forms the water guiding side. The circuit board bracket has a water guiding channel on this side to guide dripping liquid downwards and out of the pot body, preventing liquid from flowing to the circuit board on the mounting side. Thus, the circuit board bracket simultaneously serves the functions of mounting the circuit board and guiding water, integrating what were originally two separate components into one. This not only simplifies the overall structure but also reduces installation difficulty and saves costs.

[0008] Furthermore, the circuit board bracket is vertically positioned and secured by an upper central ring and a lower base, ensuring installation stability without the need for additional fasteners like screws, thus saving costs. This also eliminates the need for assembly personnel to tighten screws one by one; once the central ring and base are in place, they naturally clamp the circuit board bracket, simplifying the assembly process and significantly improving efficiency. Moreover, because the circuit board bracket is vertical, the vertical clamping of the central ring and base does not affect the circuit board on the mounting side or the water channel on the water-guiding side, ensuring reliable installation and water-guiding functionality.

[0009] The upper surface of the middle ring is provided with a water collection tank, and the rear end of the middle ring is provided with a water outlet. The water guiding channel has a collection port and a water outlet. The upward projection of the collection port covers the water outlet. The base is provided with a drainage channel, and the water outlet is connected to the drainage channel.

[0010] In this design, the projection of the collection port covers the drain outlet, enabling complete collection of dripping liquid. This ensures all liquid enters the water guiding channel, preventing leakage and contamination of the pot's interior. The base's drain channel connects to the outlet of the water guiding channel, allowing liquid within the channel to drain out. Through these channels, dripping liquid from the central ring is completely confined within the designated pathways, isolating it from the pot's internal environment. This not only prevents water damage to the circuit board but also reduces the probability of water damage to other internal electrical components, ensuring the pot's interior remains clean and dry.

[0011] The central ring is equipped with a downward-extending fixed column, and the base is equipped with a fixed rib inside the drainage channel. The fixed column extends into the water guiding channel to be securely connected with the fixed rib.

[0012] In this design, the fixed column extends into the water guiding channel and is securely connected to the fixed rib, realizing the multi-functionality of the water guiding channel. It can not only perform the water guiding function, but also provide space for the connection between the fixed column and the fixed rib, without occupying additional space for connection. This simplifies the structure of the pot body, saves internal space of the pot body, and also saves costs.

[0013] One of the circuit board bracket and the middle ring is provided with a plug-in protrusion, and the other is provided with a plug-in groove that mates with the plug-in protrusion so that the middle ring and the circuit board bracket abut against each other.

[0014] In this solution, the insertion protrusion and insertion slot are used in conjunction to not only position the circuit board bracket and improve the accuracy of its installation, but also allow the middle ring to apply downward pressure to the circuit board bracket through the insertion point. During the application of force, the downward pressure is restricted by the insertion slot and insertion protrusion, so that it can only be transmitted to the circuit board bracket vertically, thus preventing the direction of force from deviating and causing the circuit board bracket to tilt or collapse.

[0015] A water-blocking rib is provided on the water-guiding side, forming the water-guiding channel. The base is provided with an upwardly protruding drainage column, which has a drainage channel inside. One of the drainage column and the water-blocking rib is provided with a docking groove, and the other extends into the docking groove to abut and cooperate, so that the water-guiding channel and the drainage channel are connected.

[0016] In this design, the drainage column and the water-blocking rib abut against each other, which on the one hand achieves the connection between the water guiding channel and the drainage channel, allowing the liquid in the water guiding channel to be discharged to the outside of the pot through the drainage channel. On the other hand, the abutting of the two also allows the base to apply an upward supporting force to the circuit board bracket through the abutting point, thereby forming a clamp with the middle ring to fix the circuit board bracket firmly.

[0017] The water guiding channel has a collection section and a flow guiding section from top to bottom. The width of the collection section is greater than the width of the flow guiding section, and the collection section has a collection port.

[0018] In this design, the wider collection section results in a wider collection opening, allowing for a larger upward-radiating area and enabling the collection of liquid dripping from a greater area above, thus improving collection efficiency. Conversely, the narrower guide section causes liquid dripping from different areas into the guide channel to gradually converge during flow, transforming small droplets into larger ones. This allows the liquid to flow downwards at a faster speed, improving drainage efficiency and preventing prolonged liquid accumulation in the guide channel.

[0019] The collecting section has a connection port that connects to the guiding section, and the bottom wall of the collecting section is provided with a guiding slope that gradually slopes downward toward the connection port.

[0020] In this design, the guide slope can guide the liquid in the collection section to gradually flow towards the connecting port under the action of gravity, so that as much of the liquid in the collection section as possible enters the guide section and continues to flow downward, preventing the liquid from accumulating in the collection section and producing an odor.

[0021] The rear end of the middle ring is equipped with a mounting base for rotating connection with the pot lid, and the width of the collection port is larger than the mounting base.

[0022] In this design, the drain outlets of the central ring are typically located on the mounting base. For example, there may be two drain outlets positioned on opposite sides of the mounting base. The collection port is wider than the mounting base, ensuring that regardless of the position or number of drain outlets on the mounting base, the collection port can effectively collect all dripping liquid, thus improving the versatility of the circuit board bracket and adapting to different models. Furthermore, the larger size of the collection port compared to the mounting base allows the water-blocking ribs used to form the water channel to be vertically offset from the mounting base, preventing interference between the water-blocking ribs and the mounting base during assembly and ensuring proper installation.

[0023] The mounting side is provided with supporting ribs, which can cooperate with the circuit board stop to create a heat dissipation gap between the circuit board and the circuit board bracket.

[0024] In this solution, the circuit board generates heat during operation. The supporting ribs stop the circuit board, preventing direct contact between the circuit board and the mounting side of the circuit board. A heat dissipation gap exists between the two, thereby increasing the heat dissipation area of ​​the circuit board, improving the heat dissipation effect of the circuit board, and avoiding excessive heat transfer to the circuit board support, which would cause excessive temperature rise of the circuit board support.

[0025] A water-blocking rib is provided on the water-guiding side, and the water-blocking rib forms the water-guiding channel. A limiting groove for constraining the wires is provided on the edge of the circuit board bracket, and the limiting groove is located outside the water-blocking rib.

[0026] In this design, the water-guiding channel is located inside the water-retaining ribs, which effectively block the internal liquid, thus creating a relatively dry external environment. A limiting groove is provided at the edge of the circuit board support to allow wires to pass through and to constrain them, giving the circuit board support more functionality. Furthermore, since both the limiting groove and the circuit board are on the circuit board support and are close together, the stability of the connection between the wires and the circuit board is further ensured. The limiting groove is located outside the water-retaining ribs, reducing the risk of liquid flowing to the wires and improving safety. Attached Figure Description

[0045] like Figure 1 , Figure 2As shown, a cooking appliance includes a pot body 1 and a circuit board support 2 placed inside the pot body 1. The circuit board support 2 is vertically placed at the rear end of the pot body 1. The circuit board support 2 has a mounting side 21 facing the inside of the pot body 1 and a water guiding side 22 away from the inside of the pot body 1. The mounting side 21 is provided with a mounting position for mounting a circuit board 3, and the water guiding side 22 is provided with a water guiding channel 221. The pot body 1 includes an outer cover 11, a middle ring 12 located above the outer cover 11, and a base 13 located below the outer cover 11. The middle ring 12 and the base 13 clamp and fix the circuit board support 2.

[0046] Specifically, such as Figure 3 As shown, the circuit board support 2 is a plate-shaped structure. The circuit board support 2 is vertically positioned so that one end face faces the inside of the pot body 1, forming the mounting side 21, and the other end face faces away from the inside of the pot body 1, forming the water guiding side 22. It can be understood that when the user uses the cooking utensil, the side of the pot body 1 facing the user in the radial direction is the front end, and the side facing away from the user is the rear end.

[0047] In this invention, the circuit board bracket 2 is vertically positioned at the rear end of the pot body 1, dividing the space at the rear end of the pot body 1 into a side facing inwards and a side away from the interior of the pot body 1. The circuit board bracket 2 itself divides these two spaces. The side facing inwards is the mounting side 21, used to mount the circuit board 3. This brings the circuit board 3 closer to the electrical components inside the pot body 1, facilitating electrical connections, shortening wire length, and optimizing the internal structural layout and wiring. The side away from the interior of the pot body 1 forms the water-guiding side 22. The circuit board bracket 2 has a water-guiding channel 221 on this side to guide dripping liquid downwards and out of the pot body 1, preventing liquid from flowing to the circuit board 3 on the mounting side 21. Thus, the circuit board bracket 2 simultaneously serves the functions of mounting the circuit board 3 and guiding water, integrating two previously separate components into one. This simplifies the overall structure, reduces installation difficulty, and saves costs.

[0048] Furthermore, the circuit board bracket 2 is vertically positioned and secured by the upper central ring 12 and the lower base 13. This design ensures the stability of the circuit board bracket 2 during installation and eliminates the need for additional fasteners such as screws, saving costs. It also eliminates the need for assembly personnel to tighten screws one by one during assembly. Once the central ring 12 and base 13 are in place, they naturally clamp the circuit board bracket 2, simplifying the assembly process and significantly improving efficiency. Moreover, because the circuit board bracket 2 is vertically positioned, the vertical clamping of the central ring 12 and base 13 does not affect the circuit board 3 on the mounting side 21 or the water channel 221 on the water guiding side 22, ensuring reliable installation and water guiding functions.

[0049] It should be noted that this utility model does not limit the configuration of the water guiding channel 221. For example, the cooking appliance also includes a water collection box, on which the water guiding channel 221 is disposed, and the water collection box is fixed to the water guiding side 22, so that the water guiding channel 221 is located on the water guiding side 22. The water collection box can be fixed to the circuit board bracket 2 as a single component, so that they can be installed together inside the pot body 1. Alternatively, the circuit board bracket 2 can be provided with a water-blocking rib 222 on the water guiding side 22, and the water-blocking rib 222 can form the water guiding channel 221, so that the circuit board bracket 2 itself can perform the function of guiding water, reducing the number of components.

[0050] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, such as Figure 4 , Figure 5 As shown, a water collection trough is provided on the upper surface of the middle ring 12, and a drain outlet 123 is provided at the rear end of the middle ring 12. The water guiding channel 221 has a collection port 2213 and a water outlet. The upward projection of the collection port 2213 covers the drain outlet 123. The base 13 has a drainage channel 132, and the water outlet is connected to the drainage channel 132.

[0051] The projection of the collection port 2213 covers the drain port 123, enabling complete collection of liquid dripping from the drain port 123. This ensures that all liquid enters the water guiding channel 221, preventing leakage and contamination of the interior of the pot body 1. The drain channel 132 of the base 13 connects to the outlet of the water guiding channel 221, allowing liquid within the channel to drain out. Through the water guiding channel 221 and the drain channel 132, liquid dripping from the middle ring 12 is completely confined within the designated channels, isolating it from the environment inside the pot body 1. This not only prevents water damage to the circuit board 3 but also reduces the probability of water damage to other electrical components inside the pot body 1, ensuring the cleanliness and dryness of the interior of the pot body 1.

[0052] Furthermore, such as Figure 5 , Figure 6 As shown, the middle ring 12 is provided with a downwardly extending fixing column 122, and the base 13 is provided with a fixing rib 133 inside the drainage channel 132. The fixing column 122 extends into the water guiding channel 221 to be tightly connected with the fixing rib 133.

[0053] The fixed column 122 extends into the water guiding channel 221 and is tightly connected to the fixed rib 133, realizing the multi-functionality of the water guiding channel 221. It can not only realize the water guiding function, but also provide space for the connection between the fixed column 122 and the fixed rib 133 without occupying additional space for connection. This simplifies the structure of the pot body 1, saves internal space of the pot body 1, and also saves costs.

[0054] Specifically, such as Figure 6As shown, liquid flows from around the fixed column 122. Similarly, the fixing rib 133 is located at the center of the drainage channel 132, and the drainage channel 132 has a water passage space around the fixing rib 133.

[0055] like Figure 6 As shown, the cooking appliance also includes fasteners, which are fastened to the fixing post 122 by passing through the fixing rib 133. Of course, the fixing post 122 and the fixing rib 133 can also be fixedly connected by other means, such as snap-fit ​​connection, threaded connection, etc., which are not limited here.

[0056] In a preferred embodiment, one of the circuit board support 2 and the middle ring 12 is provided with a plug-in protrusion, and the other is provided with a plug-in groove 261 that mates with the plug-in protrusion, so that the middle ring 12 and the circuit board support 2 abut against each other.

[0057] By engaging the protrusion and the slot 261, the circuit board bracket 2 can be positioned, improving its installation accuracy. After engagement, the engagement points abut against each other, allowing the central ring 12 to apply downward pressure to the circuit board bracket 2 through the engagement point. During the application of force, the downward pressure is limited by the slot 261 and the protrusion, ensuring that the downward pressure is transmitted vertically to the circuit board bracket 2. This prevents the force from being applied in a skewed direction, which could cause the circuit board bracket 2 to tilt or collapse.

[0058] Specifically, such as Figure 7 , Figure 8 As shown, mounting ribs 26 are provided on both sides of the top of the circuit board bracket 2. The mounting ribs 26 are provided with insertion slots 261. The middle ring 12 is provided with downward protruding insertion protrusions (not shown in the figure). The insertion protrusions are inserted into the insertion slots 261.

[0059] like Figure 8 As shown, the top of the circuit board support 2 is provided with an abutting flange 27 to form an abutting plane on the top of the circuit board support 2, and the middle ring 12 can abut against the abutting flange 27 to apply a downward pressing force to the circuit board support 2.

[0060] Preferably, such as Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 , Figure 8 As shown, the water guiding side 22 is provided with a water-blocking rib 222, which forms the water guiding channel 221. The base 13 is provided with an upwardly protruding drainage column 131, which has a drainage channel 132 inside. One of the drainage column 131 and the water-blocking rib 222 is provided with a docking groove 134, and the other extends into the docking groove 134 to abut and cooperate, so that the water guiding channel 221 and the drainage channel 132 are connected.

[0061] The drainage column 131 and the water-blocking rib 222 abut against each other, which on the one hand realizes the connection between the water guiding channel 221 and the drainage channel 132, so that the liquid in the water guiding channel 221 can be discharged to the outside of the pot body 1 through the drainage channel 132. On the other hand, the abutment between the two also allows the base 13 to apply an upward supporting force to the circuit board support 2 through the abutment point, thereby forming a clamp with the middle ring 12 to fix the circuit board support 2 firmly.

[0062] Specifically, such as Figure 6 As shown, the top of the drainage column 131 is provided with an upward-opening docking groove 134, and the lower end of the water-blocking rib 222 extends into the docking groove 134 to abut against the drainage column 131. Of course, the docking groove 134 can also be provided at the lower end of the water-blocking rib 222, so that the drainage column 131 extends into the docking groove 134 to form an abutment, which is not limited here.

[0063] It should be noted that, although the circuit board bracket 2 can be fixed by being clamped by the middle ring 12 and the base 13 in this utility model, the circuit board bracket 2 is also provided with screw holes so that it can be tightened with screws when it needs to be reinforced.

[0064] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, such as Figure 4 As shown, the water guiding channel 221 has a collection section 2211 and a flow guiding section 2212 from top to bottom. The width of the collection section 2211 is greater than the width of the flow guiding section 2212. The collection section 2211 has a collection port 2213.

[0065] The wider collecting section 2211 results in a wider collecting port 2213, which in turn allows for a larger upward-radiating area, enabling the collection of liquid dripping from a larger area above and improving the collection efficiency. Conversely, the narrower guiding section 2212 causes liquid dripping from different areas into the guiding channel 221 to gradually converge during flow, transforming small droplets into larger ones. This allows the liquid to flow downwards at a faster speed, improving drainage efficiency and preventing prolonged liquid accumulation within the guiding channel 221.

[0066] Furthermore, such as Figure 4 As shown, the collecting section 2211 has a connecting port 2214 that communicates with the guiding section 2212, and the bottom wall of the collecting section 2211 is provided with a guiding slope 2215 that gradually slopes downward toward the connecting port 2214.

[0067] The guide slope 2215 can guide the liquid in the collection section 2211 to gradually flow towards the connecting port 2214 under the action of gravity, so that as much of the liquid in the collection section 2211 as possible enters the guide section 2212 and continues to flow downward, preventing the liquid from accumulating in the collection section 2211 and producing an odor.

[0068] Specifically, the connecting port 2214 is located at the center of the collecting section 2211, and the liquid in the collecting section 2211 can flow towards the center to the connecting port 2214.

[0069] like Figure 4 As shown, the width of the guide section 2212 gradually decreases from top to bottom to further collect the liquid. Simultaneously, the lower part of the guide section 2212 is designed to connect and interface with the drainage channel 132 of the base 13; its smaller width facilitates this connection. Specifically, as... Figure 4 As shown, the water-guiding side 22 is provided with water-retaining ribs 222, which form a water-guiding channel 221. The water-retaining ribs 222 gradually taper downwards at the guide section 2212, so that the width of the guide section 2212 gradually decreases. Preferably, as shown... Figure 2 , Figure 7 As shown, the circuit board support 2 body has a guide portion 23 corresponding to the flow guide section 2212. The guide portion 23 protrudes from top to bottom in a direction away from the interior of the pot body 1, so as to further reduce the cross-sectional area of ​​the flow guide section 2212.

[0070] As a preferred embodiment, such as Figure 4 As shown, the rear end of the middle ring 12 is provided with a mounting base 121 for rotating connection with the pot lid, and the width of the collection port 2213 is greater than that of the mounting base 121.

[0071] In this embodiment, the mounting base 121 is used to rotatably connect with the pot lid, and the mounting base 121 is provided with mounting holes for mounting the rotating shaft.

[0072] The drain outlets 123 of the central ring 12 are typically located on the mounting base 121. For example, there may be two drain outlets 123 located on opposite sides of the mounting base 121. The collection port 2213 is wider than the mounting base 121, ensuring that regardless of the position or number of drain outlets 123 on the mounting base 121, the collection port 2213 can effectively collect all the liquid dripping from the drain outlets 123. This improves the versatility of the circuit board bracket 2 and allows it to adapt to different models. Furthermore, the larger size of the collection port 2213 compared to the mounting base 121 allows the water-blocking ribs 222 forming the water channel 221 to be vertically offset from the mounting base 121, thus preventing interference between the water-blocking ribs 222 and the mounting base 121 during assembly and ensuring proper assembly. Specifically, for example... Figure 4 As shown, the side wall of the mounting base 121 extends into the collection port 2213 to guide the liquid to drip directly from the mounting base 121 into the collection section 2211.

[0073] Preferably, such as Figure 2 , Figure 7 As shown, the mounting side 21 is provided with a support rib 24, which can cooperate with the circuit board 3 stop to provide a heat dissipation gap between the circuit board 3 and the circuit board support 2.

[0074] During operation, the circuit board 3 generates heat. The support rib 24 stops the circuit board 3, preventing it from directly contacting the mounting side 21 between the circuit boards 3 and the support rib 24. A heat dissipation gap exists between the two, thereby increasing the heat dissipation area of ​​the circuit board 3, improving its heat dissipation effect, and preventing excessive heat transfer to the circuit board support 2, which could lead to excessive temperature rise in the circuit board support 2.

[0075] Preferably, such as Figure 7 , Figure 8 As shown, the water-guiding side 22 is provided with a water-blocking rib 222, which forms the water-guiding channel 221. The edge of the circuit board support 2 is provided with a limiting groove 25 for constraining the wires, which is located outside the water-blocking rib 222.

[0076] The water channel 221 is located inside the water-blocking rib 222, which blocks the internal liquid, thus creating a relatively dry environment outside. A limiting groove 25 is provided on the edge of the circuit board support 2 to allow wires to pass through and to constrain them, giving the circuit board support 2 more functionality. Furthermore, the limiting groove 25 and the circuit board 3 are both on the circuit board support 2 and are close together, further ensuring the stability of the connection between the wires and the circuit board 3. The limiting groove 25 is located outside the water-blocking rib 222, reducing the risk of liquid flowing to the wires and improving safety.
