Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of small household appliance technology, and more specifically, to a pot body assembly and a cooking appliance having the same. Background Technology

[0002] A smart cooking machine is a kitchen appliance that can automatically cook food. Currently, most smart cooking machines use the stirring action of a stirring paddle to stir-fry the food in the pot, thereby achieving the cooking process.

[0003] In this field, the stirring paddle is rotatably mounted inside the cooking cavity, and the distance between the stirring paddle and the inner wall of the pot remains consistent with each rotation. However, because the quantity or type of ingredients varies each time they are cooked, and the volume and texture of the ingredients differ, the stirring paddle described above is ineffective at mixing ingredients and cannot adapt to different types and quantities of food. Utility Model Content

[0004] The main objective of this invention is to provide a pot body assembly and a cooking appliance having the same, in order to solve the problem of poor stirring effect in related technologies.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, according to one aspect of the present invention, a pot assembly is provided, comprising: a pot body having a cooking cavity; a stirring paddle rotatably disposed within the cooking cavity; a drive connection mechanism connected between a first end of the stirring paddle and the pot body, the drive connection mechanism being rotatably disposed to drive the stirring paddle to rotate synchronously; and a rotation connection mechanism connected between a second end of the stirring paddle and the pot body; wherein the drive connection mechanism includes a first connecting hole and a first connecting shaft that are mutually inserted and engaged, the rotation connection mechanism includes a second connecting hole and a second connecting shaft that are mutually inserted and engaged, a first movable gap is provided between the first connecting shaft and the inner wall of the first connecting hole, and a second movable gap is provided between the second connecting shaft and the inner wall of the second connecting hole, so that the stirring paddle can be floated relative to the pot body.

[0006] Applying the technical solution of this utility model, the pot body has a cooking cavity for holding food. A stirring paddle is rotatably disposed within the cooking cavity. The rotation of the stirring paddle causes the food within the cooking cavity to tumble, thereby ensuring even heating and cooking of the food. A drive connection mechanism is connected between the first end of the stirring paddle and the pot body. The drive connection mechanism is rotatably disposed to drive the stirring paddle to rotate synchronously, thereby achieving stir-frying of the food. A rotating connection mechanism is connected between the second end of the stirring paddle and the pot body. The rotating connection mechanism supports the second end of the stirring paddle and enables rotation between the second end of the stirring paddle and the pot body. The drive connection mechanism includes a first connecting hole and a first connecting shaft that are mutually inserted and engaged. The rotating connection mechanism includes mutually inserted and engaged... A second connecting hole and a second connecting shaft are provided. A first movable gap exists between the first connecting shaft and the inner wall of the first connecting hole, and a second movable gap exists between the second connecting shaft and the inner wall of the second connecting hole. This allows the stirring paddle to float relative to the pot body. In this way, the stirring paddle can float within the range of the first and second movable gaps relative to the pot body. During stirring, the stirring paddle can be finely adjusted according to the distribution of the ingredients and the shape of the pot bottom, thereby more effectively covering the bottom and side walls of the cooking cavity, improving the uniformity of stirring, and preventing food from sticking to the pot and burning. The floating design of the stirring paddle allows it to adapt to the physical properties of different ingredients, such as their softness, shape, and viscosity. Especially when ingredients expand or contract during cooking, the stirring paddle can automatically adjust its position to ensure that the stirring effect is not affected. Therefore, the technical solution of this application can effectively solve the problem of poor stirring effect in related technologies.

[0007] Furthermore, the first connecting shaft is located at the first end of the agitator, and the second connecting hole is located at the second end of the agitator. Using different connecting structures at the two ends of the agitator ensures that errors do not occur during assembly, providing a foolproof function.

[0008] Furthermore, the stirring paddle has a curved structure, with its rotation axis extending laterally. The extension direction of the second connecting hole is perpendicular to the rotation axis of the stirring paddle and parallel to its protruding direction. This design ensures that the protruding part of the stirring paddle can move towards or away from the side wall or bottom of the pot, allowing for adaptive adjustments to the stirring paddle.

[0009] Furthermore, the drive connection mechanism includes a rotating seat rotatably mounted on the pot body, with a first connection hole formed on the rotating seat. When the stirring paddle is assembled with the pot body, the extension direction of the first connection hole is parallel to the extension direction of the second connection hole. This arrangement ensures that both ends of the stirring paddle float in the same direction, guaranteeing the smoothness of the stirring paddle's movement.

[0010] Furthermore, the first connecting hole is larger in width than the first connecting shaft, and the second connecting hole is larger in width than the second connecting shaft. This design ensures smoother movement of both ends of the agitator, preventing jamming.

[0011] Furthermore, the difference between the dimension of the first connecting hole in the width direction and the dimension of the first connecting shaft in the width direction is greater than or equal to 0.1 mm and less than or equal to 2 mm. This ensures that the first connecting hole can guide the first connecting shaft to move in a preset direction, and also ensures that the first connecting shaft moves smoothly.

[0012] Furthermore, the second end of the agitator is surrounded by a side plate that connects the two ends, with a second connecting hole forming between the inner walls of the side plate. The structure of the side plate is relatively simple, and this design allows the second end of the agitator body to be lighter.

[0013] Furthermore, the first connecting hole has a first transmission plane, and the first connecting shaft has a second transmission plane corresponding to and capable of abutting against the first transmission plane. Driving the connecting mechanism to rotate causes the first transmission plane to rotate and abut against the second transmission plane, thereby driving the first connecting shaft to rotate synchronously.

[0014] Furthermore, the second connecting shaft includes a shaft body and a mounting base. The mounting base is disposed on the pot body, and the shaft body is inserted into the second connecting hole. A sealing element is provided between the mounting base and the pot body. The sealing element ensures that water and oil inside the cooking cavity do not leak out of the cooking cavity.

[0015] According to another aspect of this utility model, a cooking appliance is provided, including a pot body assembly, which is the pot body assembly described above. The pot body assembly described above can effectively solve the problem of poor stirring effect in related technologies, and the cooking appliance having the pot body assembly described above also has the aforementioned advantages.

Therefore, other examples of exemplary embodiments may have different values. It should be noted that similar reference numerals and letters in the following drawings denote similar items; therefore, once an item is defined in one drawing, it need not be further discussed in subsequent drawings.

[0034] like Figures 1 to 9 As shown, this application provides a pot assembly. An embodiment of the pot assembly includes: a pot body 10, a stirring paddle 20, a drive connection mechanism 30, and a rotation connection mechanism 40. The pot body 10 has a cooking cavity 11. The stirring paddle 20 is rotatably disposed within the cooking cavity 11. The drive connection mechanism 30 is connected between the first end of the stirring paddle 20 and the pot body 10, and is rotatably disposed to drive the stirring paddle 20 to rotate synchronously. The rotation connection mechanism 40 is connected between the second end of the stirring paddle 20 and the pot body 10. The drive connection mechanism 30 includes a first connecting hole 31 and a first connecting shaft 32 that are mutually inserted and engaged. The rotation connection mechanism 40 includes a second connecting hole 41 and a second connecting shaft 42 that are mutually inserted and engaged. A first movable gap exists between the first connecting shaft 32 and the inner wall of the first connecting hole 31, and a second movable gap exists between the second connecting shaft 42 and the inner wall of the second connecting hole 41, so that the stirring paddle 20 can be floated relative to the pot body 10.

[0035] Applying the technical solution of this embodiment, the pot body 10 has a cooking cavity 11, which is used to hold food. A stirring paddle 20 is rotatably disposed within the cooking cavity 11. The rotation of the stirring paddle 20 causes the food within the cooking cavity 11 to tumble, thereby ensuring the food is heated evenly and cooked, thus achieving cooking. A drive connection mechanism 30 is connected between the first end of the stirring paddle 20 and the pot body 10. The drive connection mechanism 30 is rotatably disposed to drive the stirring paddle 20 to rotate synchronously, thereby achieving stir-frying of the food. A rotating connection mechanism 40 is connected between the second end of the stirring paddle 20 and the pot body 10. The rotating connection mechanism 40 supports the second end of the stirring paddle 20 and enables rotation between the second end of the stirring paddle 20 and the pot body 10. The drive connection mechanism 30 includes a first connecting hole 31 and a first connecting shaft 32 that are mutually inserted and engaged. The structure 40 includes a second connecting hole 41 and a second connecting shaft 42 that are interlocked. A first movable gap exists between the first connecting shaft 42 and the inner wall of the first connecting hole 31, and a second movable gap exists between the second connecting shaft 42 and the inner wall of the second connecting hole 41, allowing the stirring paddle 20 to float relative to the pot body 10. In this way, the stirring paddle 20 can float relative to the pot body 10 within the range of the first and second movable gaps. During stirring, the stirring paddle 20 can be finely adjusted according to the distribution of ingredients and the shape of the pot bottom, thereby more effectively covering the bottom and side walls of the cooking cavity 11, improving the uniformity of stirring, and preventing food from sticking to the pot and burning. The floating arrangement of the stirring paddle 20 allows it to adapt to the physical properties of different ingredients, such as their softness, shape, and viscosity. Especially when ingredients expand or contract during cooking, the stirring paddle can automatically adjust its position to ensure that the stirring effect is not affected. Therefore, the technical solution of this embodiment can effectively solve the problem of poor stirring effect in related technologies.

[0036] Furthermore, as described above, wear and damage are reduced: the presence of the first and second movement gaps reduces hard contact between the stirring paddle 20 and the pot body 10, lowering the risk of wear and damage caused by collisions or jamming during the stirring process, thereby extending the service life of the stirring paddle 20 and the pot body 10. The simplified overall structure and reduced cost of the pot body assembly, combined with optimized stirring performance, provide users with a more economical, efficient, and easy-to-operate cooking experience, enhancing product competitiveness. Both the first connecting hole 31 and the second connecting hole 41 have continuous sidewalls. The sidewall of the first connecting hole 31 can stop the first connecting shaft 32, and the sidewall of the second connecting hole 41 can stop the second connecting shaft 42, thus ensuring that the stirring paddle 20 does not detach from the pot body 10.

[0037] like Figures 1 to 9As shown, the first connecting shaft 32 is located at the first end of the stirring paddle 20, and the second connecting hole 41 is located at the second end of the stirring paddle 20. Specifically, setting different connecting structures at the two ends of the stirring paddle 20 can prevent mistaken assembly of the stirring paddle 20.

[0038] like Figures 1 to 9 As shown, the stirring paddle 20 has a curved structure, and its rotation axis extends laterally. The extension direction of the second connecting hole 41 is perpendicular to the rotation axis of the stirring paddle 20 and parallel to its protruding direction. It should be noted that "the protruding direction of the stirring paddle 20" refers to the direction perpendicular to the rotation axis of the stirring paddle 20 from its farthest point. By aligning the extension direction of the second connecting hole 41 perpendicular to the rotation axis of the stirring paddle 20 and parallel to its protruding direction, the stirring paddle 20 can float while rotating. Furthermore, when floating, the stirring paddle 20 can move along its protruding direction, allowing the protruding portion of the stirring paddle 20 to be finely adjusted relative to the side wall or bottom of the pot 10, moving closer to or further away from it.

[0039] like Figures 1 to 9 As shown, the drive connection mechanism 30 includes a rotating seat 33 rotatably mounted on the pot body 10. A first connection hole 31 is formed on the rotating seat 33. When the stirring paddle 20 is assembled with the pot body 10, the extension direction of the first connection hole 31 is parallel to the extension direction of the second connection hole 41. Specifically, by making the extension direction of the first connection hole 31 parallel to the extension direction of the second connection hole 41, both ends of the stirring paddle 20 have the same floating tendency, thereby making the floating of the stirring paddle 20 smoother.

[0040] like Figures 1 to 9 As shown, the dimension of the first connecting hole 31 in the width direction is larger than the dimension of the first connecting shaft 32 in the width direction, and the dimension of the second connecting hole 41 in the width direction is larger than the dimension of the second connecting shaft 42 in the width direction. Specifically, "the dimension of the first connecting hole 31 in the width direction" and "the dimension of the first connecting shaft 32 in the width direction" refer to... Figure 7 As shown, the dimensions of the first connecting hole 31 and the first connecting shaft 32 in the left-right direction, and the dimension of the second connecting hole 41 in the width direction refer to... Figure 5As shown, the second connecting hole 41 has a left-right dimension, and the second connecting shaft 42 has a circular cross-section. The "dimension of the second connecting shaft 42 in the width direction" refers to its diameter. This design ensures smoother movement of the stirring paddle 20 during floating. The difference between the width dimension of the first connecting hole 31 and the width dimension of the first connecting shaft 32 is greater than or equal to 0.1 mm and less than or equal to 2 mm. This difference can be 0.1 mm, 0.75 mm, 1.21 mm, 1.66 mm, or 2 mm. Similarly, the difference between the width dimension of the second connecting hole 41 and the width dimension of the second connecting shaft 42 is greater than or equal to 0.1 mm and less than or equal to 2 mm. This difference can be 0.1 mm, 0.66 mm, 1.35 mm, 1.78 mm, or 2 mm.

[0041] like Figures 1 to 9 As shown, the second end of the stirring paddle 20 is surrounded by a side plate 43 connected end to end, and a second connecting hole 41 is formed between the inner walls of the side plate 43. Specifically, by setting the side plate 43 to form the second connecting hole 41, compared with the solution of setting a protrusion and setting a hole structure on the protrusion, the side plate 43 has the advantages of simple structure and makes the second end of the stirring paddle 20 lighter.

[0042] like Figures 1 to 9 As shown, the first connecting hole 31 has a first transmission plane 311, and the first connecting shaft 32 has a second transmission plane 321 that corresponds to and can abut against the first transmission plane 311. With this configuration, when the driving connecting mechanism 30 rotates, the first transmission plane 311 rotates first, then abuts against the second transmission plane 321, and then drives the second transmission plane 321 to rotate, thereby driving the first connecting shaft 32 to rotate synchronously.

[0043] like Figures 1 to 9 As shown, the second connecting shaft 42 includes a shaft body 421 and a mounting base 422. The mounting base 422 is disposed on the pot body 10, and the shaft body 421 is inserted into the second connecting hole 41. A sealing element 423 is provided between the mounting base 422 and the pot body 10. The sealing element 423 is a sealing ring structure. The mounting base 422 passes through the side wall of the pot body 10, and the sealing element 423 is sealed between the mounting base 422 and the pot body 10 to prevent water and oil substances in the cooking cavity 11 from leaking out of the cooking cavity 11.

[0044] like Figure 9As shown, this application also provides a cooking appliance, which includes a pot body assembly, wherein the pot body assembly is the aforementioned pot body assembly. The aforementioned pot body assembly can effectively solve the problem of poor stirring effect in related technologies, and the cooking appliance having the aforementioned pot body assembly also has the aforementioned advantages.

[0045] In the description of this utility model, it should be understood that "multiple" means two or more. Directional terms such as "front, back, up, down, left, right," "horizontal, vertical, perpendicular, horizontal," and "top, bottom" indicate directions or positional relationships based on the directions or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings. These terms are used solely for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description. Unless otherwise stated, these directional terms do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of this utility model. The directional terms "inner" and "outer" refer to the inner or outer contours relative to the outline of each component itself.

[0046] For ease of description, spatial relative terms such as "above," "on top of," "on the upper surface of," "above," etc., are used herein to describe the spatial positional relationship of a device or feature as shown in the figures to other devices or features. It should be understood that spatial relative terms are intended to encompass different orientations in use or operation beyond the orientation of the device as described in the figures. For example, if the device in the figures were inverted, a device described as "above" or "on top of" other devices or structures would subsequently be positioned as "below" or "under" other devices or structures. Thus, the exemplary term "above" can include both "above" and "below." The device may also be positioned in other different ways (rotated 90 degrees or in other orientations), and the spatial relative descriptions used herein will be interpreted accordingly.

[0047] Furthermore, it should be noted that the use of terms such as "first" and "second" to define components is merely for the purpose of distinguishing the corresponding components. Unless otherwise stated, the above terms have no special meaning and therefore cannot be construed as limiting the scope of protection of this utility model.
