Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cooking equipment technology, and more specifically, to a cooking device. Background Technology
[0002] In the steamer, a temperature detection component is used to collect the temperature inside the steaming chamber. The controller determines the degree of cooking of the food based on the temperature collected by the temperature detection component.
[0003] During cooking, the steam inside the cooking chamber may experience turbulence and other unstable phenomena. Unstable steam flow can affect the accuracy of temperature measurement by the temperature detection component, resulting in undercooked or overcooked food. Utility Model Content
[0004] This utility model aims to solve one of the technical problems existing in the prior art or related technologies.
[0005] In view of this, in a first aspect, the present invention proposes a cooking device, comprising: a pot body; a steam generating assembly located inside the pot body; a temperature sensing element disposed on the pot body; and a steamer assembly, the steamer assembly comprising a steamer and a pot lid, the steamer being disposed on the pot body and having a cooking cavity inside the steamer, the pot lid being disposed on the steamer, the pot lid having an opening area, and a first exhaust port being disposed within the opening area, the steam generating assembly being used to supply steam to the cooking cavity, the first exhaust port being connected to the cooking cavity, and the temperature sensing element being used to collect the temperature inside the cooking cavity, wherein the distance between the center of the pot lid and the opening area is greater than the distance between the opening area and the edge of the pot lid, and the temperature sensing element is disposed below the opening area.
[0006] The steam generating component produces steam during operation, supplying it to the cooking cavity. This steam heats the food, thus achieving the cooking function. As the amount of steam in the cooking cavity increases, it is expelled through the first exhaust port. A temperature sensor is installed on the pot body to collect data on the temperature inside the cooking cavity.
[0007] Because the first exhaust port is connected to the outside air, the air pressure at the location of the first exhaust port is low. The steam in the cooking cavity will flow regularly toward the first exhaust port. Other locations in the cooking cavity without a first exhaust port are more prone to turbulence and other unstable phenomena.
[0008] Steam within the cooking chamber flows towards the side with the first exhaust port, resulting in a stable steam flow on the side of the cooking chamber near the first exhaust port. In this design, the pot lid is defined with an opening area. The first exhaust port can be positioned at any location within this opening area, and the distance between the center of the pot lid and the opening area is greater than the distance between the opening area and the edge of the pot lid. That is, the area near the edge of the pot lid can be designated as the opening area. The temperature sensor is positioned below the opening area, thus placing it near the edge of the pot body, preventing interference between the temperature sensor and other components. In the direction perpendicular to the horizontal plane, the positional deviation between the first exhaust port and the temperature sensor is small, resulting in a stable steam flow within the detection area of the temperature sensor. This helps improve the stability of the steam temperature saturation curve during the cooking chamber saturation process, enhances the temperature measurement accuracy of the temperature sensor, and reduces the likelihood of undercooked or overcooked food, thus improving the overall cooking effect.
[0009] In some technical solutions, optionally, the steamer assembly has multiple sides, and the distance between the first exhaust port and the first side among the multiple sides is the smallest. In the horizontal direction, the minimum distance between the first exhaust port and the first side is L1, and the minimum distance between the temperature detection element and the first side is L2, where L1 < 2 × L2 or L2 < 2 × L1.
[0010] The steamer assembly has multiple sides, one of which is the first side. Among the multiple sides, the distance between the first side and the first exhaust port is the smallest, and the minimum horizontal distance between the first exhaust port and the first side is L1.
[0011] The minimum distance between the temperature detection element and the first side is L2, where one of L1 and L2 is less than twice the other, i.e., L1 < 2 × L2 or L2 < 2 × L1. Within this range, the minimum distance between the first exhaust port and the temperature detection element and the first side in the horizontal direction will not differ too much, so that there will not be too much positional deviation between the first exhaust port and the temperature detection element in the direction perpendicular to the horizontal plane. The steam in the cooking cavity will concentrate and flow upward to the temperature detection element, so that the steam in the detection area of the temperature detection element has high stability.
[0012] In some technical solutions, optionally, the maximum distance between the first exhaust port and the first side is L3, where L1 < L2 < L3.
[0013] The minimum distance between the first exhaust port and the first side is L1, the maximum distance between the first exhaust port and the first side is L3, and the minimum distance between the temperature detection element and the first side is L2, where L1 < L2 < L3. That is, the minimum distance between the temperature detection element and the first side is greater than the minimum distance between the first exhaust port and the first side. However, the minimum distance between the temperature detection element and the first side is less than the maximum distance between the first exhaust port and the first side. In this case, there will not be a large positional deviation between the first exhaust port and the temperature detection element in the direction perpendicular to the horizontal plane. The steam in the cooking cavity will concentrate and flow upward to the temperature detection element, so that the steam in the detection area of the temperature detection element has high stability.
[0014] In some technical solutions, the temperature sensing element may optionally be located below the first exhaust port in a direction perpendicular to the horizontal plane.
[0015] As the steam in the cooking cavity flows towards the first exhaust port, the steam flow is more stable in the horizontal direction the closer it is to the first exhaust port. In this solution, the temperature detection element is positioned directly below the first exhaust port. The steam flowing above the first exhaust port has higher stability, which helps to improve the accuracy of the temperature detection results.
[0016] In some technical solutions, optionally, there are multiple first exhaust ports, including first sub-exhaust ports and second sub-exhaust ports. The first sub-exhaust ports are located between adjacent second sub-exhaust ports in a direction perpendicular to the horizontal plane, and the temperature detection element is located below the first sub-exhaust ports.
[0017] A portion of the multiple first exhaust ports are first sub-exhaust ports, and another portion of the first exhaust ports are second sub-exhaust ports. The first sub-exhaust ports are located between adjacent second sub-exhaust ports, indicating that the first sub-exhaust ports are not located at the outermost edge of the multiple first exhaust ports, but are centrally located or near the center of the multiple first exhaust ports.
[0018] In this design, the temperature sensor is positioned below the first exhaust port, facing the centrally located first exhaust port among multiple first exhaust ports. The steam below the centrally located first exhaust port is more stable, thereby further improving the accuracy of the temperature sensor's detection results.
[0019] In some technical solutions, the cooking device may optionally include: a shielding part disposed on the pot body, the shielding part being located on the side of the temperature detection element, and at least a portion of the shielding part being located between the steam generating component and the temperature detection element.
[0020] A shielding part is provided on the pot body, which is located near the temperature detection element. At least a part of the shielding part is located between the steam generating component and the temperature detection element. During the process of steam generation by the steam generating component, the steam will flow out of the steam outlet on the steam generating component at a relatively fast flow rate. When a part of the steam flows towards the temperature detection element, the shielding part can block the steam flowing towards the temperature detection element. The steam flowing out of the steam generating component will not directly impact the temperature detection element, thereby reducing the impact of high-velocity steam on the temperature measurement process of the temperature detection element and ensuring the accuracy of temperature measurement by the temperature detection element.
[0021] In some technical solutions, optionally, the steam generating assembly has multiple steam outlets, through which the steam of the steam generating assembly is discharged, with the shielding portion higher than the steam outlet, relative to the horizontal plane.
[0022] After the steam flows out of the steam outlet, the high-velocity steam will flow along the opening direction of the steam outlet. As the steam velocity decreases, the steam will flow obliquely upward. In this solution, the shielding part is limited to be higher than the steam outlet. For a portion of the steam flowing obliquely upward toward the temperature detection element, the shielding part can stably block the steam, ensuring that the steam will not come into contact with the temperature detection element and ensuring the accuracy of the temperature measurement by the temperature detection element.
[0023] In some technical solutions, optionally, the pot body is provided with a mounting surface, with a portion of the temperature sensing element higher than the mounting surface, and a shielding part is provided on the mounting surface, with the horizontal plane as the reference.
[0024] One end face of the pot body is designated as the mounting surface. The temperature sensor extends out of the mounting surface, and the shielding part is set on the mounting surface. There is no gap between the shielding part and the mounting surface. Therefore, steam will not pass between the shielding part and the pot body. The shielding part can completely cover and protect the temperature sensor, preventing high-velocity steam from contacting the temperature sensor.
[0025] In some technical solutions, the shielding part can optionally be annular and surround the temperature sensing element.
[0026] In this design, the shielding part is a ring-shaped structure, surrounding the temperature sensing element. If the shielding part were a flat plate, after the steam is blocked, it would flow along the surface of the shielding part. When the steam reaches the edge of the shielding part, it would flow over it and towards the temperature sensing element. Although this reduces the steam flow rate, it might still maintain a relatively high flow rate. To avoid this, this design uses a ring-shaped shielding part, which effectively blocks the steam flowing towards the temperature sensing element, preventing high-velocity steam from impacting it.
[0027] In some technical solutions, optionally, the shielding part has a notch on the side away from the steam generating component, and the bottom of the notch is flush with the mounting surface.
[0028] During cooking, condensation will be generated inside the cooking equipment. This condensation may drip into the annular area enclosed by the shield. If the condensation accumulates in the annular area of the shield for a long time, it will affect the temperature collected by the temperature sensor.
[0029] In this design, a notch is machined on the side of the shield that is away from the steam generating component, and the bottom of the notch is flush with the mounting surface. Even if condensate drips into the annular area enclosed by the shield, the condensate can flow out of the annular shield through the notch, thereby preventing condensate from accumulating in the annular area of the shield and reducing the impact of condensate on the temperature collected by the temperature sensing element.
[0030] In some technical solutions, optionally, the steamer assembly includes: a steamer, mounted on the pot body; a pot lid, fastened to the steamer, with a first exhaust port and a second exhaust port respectively provided on opposite sides of the pot lid, the first exhaust port and the second exhaust port being symmetrically arranged on the pot lid.
[0031] The lid has a first vent and a second vent symmetrically arranged. When the user rotates the lid 180°, the second vent is positioned above the temperature sensor's detection range. Even under these conditions, the steam within the temperature sensor's detection range remains highly stable. This symmetrical arrangement of the first and second vents facilitates user operation of the lid and prevents the temperature sensor's accuracy from being affected by incorrect angles.

Detailed Implementation
[0041] To better understand the above-mentioned objectives, features, and advantages of this utility model, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in these embodiments can be combined with each other.
[0042] Many specific details are set forth in the following description in order to provide a full understanding of the present invention. However, the present invention may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein. Therefore, the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.
[0043] The following reference Figures 1 to 5 This invention describes a cooking apparatus provided according to some embodiments of the present invention.
[0044] Combination Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, in some embodiments of this utility model, a cooking device 100 is proposed, which includes: a pot body 110, a steam generating component 120 and a steamer component 200. The steam generating assembly 120 is located inside the pot body 110. The temperature detection element 130 and the steamer assembly 200 are disposed on the pot body 110. The steamer assembly 200 includes a steamer 230 and a pot lid 250. The steamer 230 is disposed on the pot body 110 and has a cooking chamber 210 inside. The pot lid 250 is disposed on the steamer 230 and has an opening area 300. A first exhaust port 260 is disposed in the opening area 300. The steam generating assembly 120 is used to supply steam to the cooking chamber 210. The first exhaust port 260 is connected to the cooking chamber 210. The temperature detection element 130 is used to collect the temperature inside the cooking chamber 210. The distance between the center O of the pot lid 250 and the opening area 300 is greater than the distance between the opening area 300 and the edge of the pot lid 250. The temperature detection element 130 is disposed below the opening area 300.
[0045] When the steam generating assembly 120 operates, it generates steam, which is then supplied to the cooking chamber 210. The steam heats the food, thus achieving the cooking function. As the amount of steam in the cooking chamber 210 increases, the steam is discharged outward through the first exhaust port 260. A temperature detection element 130 is installed on the pot body 110 to collect the temperature inside the cooking chamber 210.
[0046] Since the first exhaust port 260 is connected to the outside air, the air pressure at the location of the first exhaust port 260 is low. The steam in the cooking cavity 210 will flow regularly toward the first exhaust port 260. Other locations in the cooking cavity 210 without the first exhaust port 260 are more prone to turbulence and other unstable phenomena.
[0047] Steam within the cooking cavity 210 flows toward the side where the first exhaust port 260 is located, thus ensuring a stable steam flow on the side of the cooking cavity 210 near the first exhaust port 260. In this embodiment, an opening area 300 is defined on the lid 250. The first exhaust port 260 can be located at any position within the opening area 300, and the distance between the center O of the lid 250 and the opening area 300 is greater than the distance between the opening area 300 and the edge of the lid 250. That is, the area near the edge of the lid 250 can be defined as the opening area 300. The temperature sensor 130 is positioned below the opening area 300, thus placing the temperature sensor 130 near the edge of the pot body 250, preventing interference between the temperature sensor 130 and other components. In the direction perpendicular to the horizontal plane, the positional deviation between the first exhaust port 260 and the temperature detection element 130 is small, and there is stable steam flow in the detection area of the temperature detection element 130, which helps to improve the stability of the steam temperature saturation curve during the saturation process of the cooking chamber 210, improve the temperature measurement accuracy of the temperature detection element 130, and the cooked food is less likely to be undercooked or overcooked, which is beneficial to improving the cooking effect of the food.
[0048] Figure 3 In the diagram, the area within the dashed box represents the steam stability region. Figure 4 In the diagram, the area within the dashed box is the preferred installation area for the temperature sensing element 130.
[0049] Figure 3 The curved arrows inside the cooking cavity 210 are used to indicate the direction of steam flow.
[0050] By placing the temperature sensing element 130 (NTC, Negative Temperature Coefficient) on one side of the first exhaust port 260, the stability of the temperature rise curve of the cooking cavity 210 at the NTC temperature measurement point is improved, thereby reducing the influence of steam on the NTC temperature measurement.
[0051] Since the first exhaust port 260 is connected to the outside air and the air pressure is low, the steam in the cooking cavity 210 will flow regularly to the first exhaust port 260, forming a stable temperature rise area on one side of the first exhaust port 260. Therefore, setting the NTC on the side of the first exhaust port 260 helps to improve the stability of the steam temperature saturation curve during the saturation process of the cooking cavity 210.
[0052] Combination Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments, optionally, the steamer assembly 200 has a plurality of sides 280, and the distance between the first exhaust port 260 and the first side 270 among the plurality of sides 280 is the smallest, along the horizontal direction ( Figure 3(The arrow at point D points to) The minimum distance between the first exhaust port 260 and the first side 270 is L1, and the minimum distance between the temperature detection element 130 and the first side 270 is L2, where L1 < 2 × L2 or L2 < 2 × L1.
[0053] The steamer assembly 200 has multiple sides 280, one of which is a first side 270. Among the multiple sides 280, the distance between the first side 270 and the first exhaust port 260 is the smallest, and the minimum horizontal distance between the first exhaust port 260 and the first side 270 is L1.
[0054] The minimum distance between the temperature detection element 130 and the first side 270 is L2, where one of L1 and L2 is less than twice the other, i.e., L1 < 2 × L2 or L2 < 2 × L1. Within this range, the minimum distance between the first exhaust port 260 and the temperature detection element 130 and the first side 270 in the horizontal direction will not differ too much, so that there will not be too much positional deviation between the first exhaust port 260 and the temperature detection element 130 in the direction perpendicular to the horizontal plane. The steam in the cooking cavity 210 will concentrate and flow above the temperature detection element 130, so that the steam in the detection area of the temperature detection element 130 has high stability.
[0055] Combination Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments, optionally, the maximum distance between the first exhaust port 260 and the first side 270 is L3, where L1 < L2 < L3.
[0056] The minimum distance between the first exhaust port 260 and the first side 270 is L1, the maximum distance between the first exhaust port 260 and the first side 270 is L3, and the minimum distance between the temperature detection element 130 and the first side 270 is L2, where L1 < L2 < L3. That is, the minimum distance between the temperature detection element 130 and the first side 270 is greater than the minimum distance between the first exhaust port 260 and the first side 270. However, the minimum distance between the temperature detection element 130 and the first side 270 is less than the maximum distance between the first exhaust port 260 and the first side 270. In this case, there will not be a large positional deviation between the first exhaust port 260 and the temperature detection element 130 in the direction perpendicular to the horizontal plane. The steam in the cooking cavity 210 will concentrate and flow upward to the temperature detection element 130, so that the steam in the detection area of the temperature detection element 130 has high stability.
[0057] Combination Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, in some embodiments, optionally, along a direction perpendicular to the horizontal plane ( Figure 3 (The arrow at H in the middle points to) the temperature detection element 130 is located below the first exhaust port 260.
[0058] As the steam in the cooking cavity 210 flows toward the first exhaust port 260, the steam flow is more stable in the horizontal direction the closer it is to the first exhaust port 260. In this solution, the temperature detection element 130 is positioned directly below the first exhaust port 260. The steam flowing above the first exhaust port 260 has higher stability, which helps to improve the accuracy of the detection results of the temperature detection element 130.
[0059] Combination Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, in some embodiments, optionally, there are multiple first exhaust ports 260, and the multiple first exhaust ports 260 include first sub-exhaust ports 261 and second sub-exhaust ports 262. The first sub-exhaust ports 261 are located between adjacent second sub-exhaust ports 262. In a direction perpendicular to the horizontal plane, the temperature detection element 130 is located below the first sub-exhaust port 261.
[0060] A portion of the multiple first exhaust ports 260 are first sub-exhaust ports 261, and another portion of the first exhaust ports 260 are second sub-exhaust ports 262. The first sub-exhaust ports 261 are located between adjacent second sub-exhaust ports 262, indicating that the first sub-exhaust ports 261 are not located on the outermost side of the multiple first exhaust ports 260. The first sub-exhaust ports 261 are centrally located or located near the center of the multiple first exhaust ports 260.
[0061] In this design, the temperature detection element 130 is positioned below the first sub-exhaust port 261, with the temperature detection element 130 facing the centrally located first exhaust port 260 among the multiple first exhaust ports 260. The steam below the centrally located first exhaust port 260 is more stable, thereby further improving the accuracy of the detection results of the temperature detection element 130.
[0062] Combination Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, the cooking device 100 may optionally include a shielding portion 140, which is disposed on the pot body 110, located on the side of the temperature detection element 130, and at least a portion of the shielding portion 140 is located between the steam generating assembly 120 and the temperature detection element 130.
[0063] A shielding part 140 is provided on the pot body 110. The shielding part 140 is located near the temperature detection element 130, and at least a part of the shielding part 140 is located between the steam generating assembly 120 and the temperature detection element 130. During the process of steam generation by the steam generating assembly 120, the steam will flow out of the steam outlet 121 on the steam generating assembly 120 at a relatively fast flow rate. When a part of the steam flows towards the temperature detection element 130, the shielding part 140 can block the steam flowing towards the temperature detection element 130. The steam flowing out of the steam generating assembly 120 will not directly impact the temperature detection element 130, thereby reducing the impact of high-velocity steam on the temperature measurement process of the temperature detection element 130 and ensuring the accuracy of temperature measurement by the temperature detection element 130.
[0064] Combination Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, optionally, the steam generating assembly 120 has a plurality of steam outlets 121 through which steam from the steam generating assembly 120 is discharged, and with the horizontal plane as a reference, the shielding portion 140 is higher than the steam outlets 121.
[0065] After the steam flows out of the steam outlet 121, the high-velocity steam will flow along the opening direction of the steam outlet 121. As the steam velocity decreases, the steam will flow obliquely upward. In this solution, the shielding part 140 is limited to be higher than the steam outlet 121. For a portion of the steam flowing obliquely upward toward the temperature detection element 130, the shielding part 140 can stably block the steam, ensuring that the steam will not come into contact with the temperature detection element 130, thus ensuring the accuracy of temperature measurement by the temperature detection element 130.
[0066] Combination Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, optionally, the pot body 110 is provided with a mounting surface 111, with a portion of the temperature detection element 130 above the mounting surface 111 with the horizontal plane as a reference, and a shielding portion 140 is provided on the mounting surface 111.
[0067] One end face of the pot body 110 is designated as the mounting surface 111. The temperature sensing element 130 extends out of the mounting surface 111, and the shielding part 140 is disposed on the mounting surface 111. There is no gap between the shielding part 140 and the mounting surface 111. Therefore, steam will not pass between the shielding part 140 and the pot body 110. The shielding part 140 can completely cover and protect the temperature sensing element 130, preventing high-velocity steam from contacting the temperature sensing element 130.
[0068] Combination Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, in some embodiments, optionally, the shielding portion 140 is annular and surrounds the temperature sensing element 130.
[0069] In this design, the shielding portion 140 is an annular structure, surrounding the temperature sensing element 130. If the shielding portion 140 were a flat plate, after the steam is blocked by the shielding portion 140, the steam would flow along the surface of the shielding portion 140. When the steam reaches the edge of the shielding portion 140, it would flow past the shielding portion 140 and towards the temperature sensing element 130. Although this reduces the steam flow rate, the steam may still maintain a relatively high flow rate. To avoid this situation, in this design, the shielding portion 140 is annular. The shielding portion 140 can effectively block the steam flowing towards the temperature sensing element 130, preventing high-velocity steam from impacting the temperature sensing element 130.
[0070] Combination Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, optionally, the shielding portion 140 has a notch 141 on the side opposite to the steam generating assembly 120, and the bottom of the notch 141 is flush with the mounting surface 111.
[0071] During the cooking process, condensation will be generated inside the cooking device 100. The condensation may drip into the annular area enclosed by the shield 140. If the condensation accumulates in the annular area of the shield 140 for a long time, it will affect the temperature collected by the temperature sensor 130.
[0072] In this design, a notch 141 is machined on the side of the shielding part 140 away from the steam generating assembly 120, and the bottom of the notch 141 is flush with the mounting surface 111. Even if condensate drips into the annular area enclosed by the shielding part 140, the condensate can flow out of the annular shielding part 140 through the notch 141, thereby preventing condensate from accumulating in the annular area of the shielding part 140 and reducing the impact of condensate on the temperature collected by the temperature sensing element 130.
[0073] Combination Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, optionally, with the horizontal plane as a reference, the top of the shield 140 is higher than the temperature sensing element 130.
[0074] The top of the shielding part 140 is higher than the top of the temperature sensing element 130, so that the shielding part 140 can bend and shield the temperature sensing element 130. Each part of the temperature sensing element 130 can be effectively protected by the shielding part 140, preventing high-velocity steam from contacting the top of the temperature sensing element 130.
[0075] Combination Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, optionally, the shielding portion 140 and the temperature sensing element 130 are spaced apart.
[0076] During cooking, the shield 140 is affected by the temperature inside the cooking cavity 210, and the temperature of the shield 140 will rise. If the shield 140 is in contact with the temperature detection element 130, the temperature collected by the temperature detection element 130 will be affected by the shield 140, thereby affecting the accuracy of the temperature detection element 130 in collecting the temperature inside the cooking cavity 210.
[0077] In this design, the shielding part 140 and the temperature detection element 130 are spaced apart to reduce the influence of the shielding part 140 on the temperature collected by the temperature detection element 130, thereby ensuring the accuracy of the temperature collected by the temperature detection element 130 in the cooking cavity 210.
[0078] Combination Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, the cooking device 100 may optionally include: a drip tray 150, which is disposed on the pot body 110, and has a mounting hole 151, through which the temperature detection element 130 and the shielding part 140 pass.
[0079] The drip tray 150 is placed on the pot body 110. The drip tray 150 is used to collect the food juices dripping from the cooking cavity 210, so as to prevent the food juices from dripping into the pot body 110.
[0080] The drip tray 150 has mounting holes 151 formed on it. When the drip tray 150 is placed on the pot body 110, the temperature sensor 130 and the shielding part 140 pass through the mounting holes 151. The mounting holes 151 avoid the temperature sensor 130 and the shielding part 140, so that the temperature sensor 130 can extend into the cooking cavity 210, thereby enabling the temperature sensor 130 to accurately collect the temperature inside the cooking cavity 210.
[0081] Combination Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, optionally, mounting holes 151 are provided on opposite sides of the juice tray 150, and the shielding part 140 can pass through any mounting hole 151.
[0082] Two mounting holes 151 are provided on each side of the juice receiving tray 150. Both mounting holes 151 can be passed through the blocking part 140. If only one mounting hole 151 is provided, the user needs to rotate the juice receiving tray 150 180° when the position of the mounting hole 151 does not correspond to the blocking part 140. However, by providing mounting holes 151 on both sides of the juice receiving tray 150 in this solution, the installation convenience of the juice receiving tray 150 can be increased, and the user does not need to adjust the installation position of the juice receiving tray 150, making it convenient for the user to use the juice receiving tray 150.
[0083] Combination Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, optionally, the steamer assembly 200 is provided with a clearance hole 220 through which the temperature detection element 130 and the shielding part 140 pass.
[0084] The steamer assembly 200 has a clearance hole 220. When the steamer assembly 200 is placed on the pot body 110, the temperature detection element 130 and the shielding part 140 pass through the clearance hole 220. The clearance hole 220 avoids the temperature detection element 130 and the shielding part 140, so that the temperature detection element 130 can extend into the cooking cavity 210, thereby enabling the temperature detection element 130 to accurately collect the temperature in the cooking cavity 210.
[0085] Combination Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, optionally, the steamer assembly 200 has clearance holes 220 on opposite sides, and the blocking part 140 can pass through any clearance hole 220.
[0086] Two clearance holes 220 are provided on both sides of the steamer assembly 200. Both clearance holes 220 can be passed through the blocking part 140. If only one clearance hole 220 is provided, the user needs to rotate the steamer assembly 200 180° when the position of the clearance hole 220 does not correspond to the blocking part 140. However, by providing clearance holes 220 on both sides of the steamer assembly 200 in this solution, the convenience of placing the steamer assembly 200 can be increased. The user does not need to adjust the installation position of the steamer assembly 200, making it convenient for the user to use the steamer assembly 200.
[0087] In some embodiments, the steamer assembly 200 optionally includes a steamer 230, steaming plates 240, and a lid 250. The steamer 230 is disposed on the pot body, and the lid 250 is fastened to the steamer 230. There can be multiple steaming plates 240 and steamers 230, with one steaming plate 240 placed on each steamer 230. A cooking cavity 210 is formed between the steamer 230 and the lid 250. A first exhaust port 260 and a second exhaust port 290 are respectively provided on opposite sides of the lid 250, and the first exhaust port 260 and the second exhaust port 290 are symmetrically arranged on the lid 250.
[0088] The lid 250 has a first vent 260 and a second vent 290 symmetrically arranged. When the user rotates the lid 250 180°, the second vent 290 is above the detection range of the temperature sensor. Under these conditions, the steam within the detection range of the temperature sensor can still be kept highly stable. The symmetrical arrangement of the first vent 260 and the second vent 290 facilitates the user's use of the lid 250 and prevents the accuracy of the temperature sensor from being affected by incorrect angles.
[0089] The boiler body 110 includes an outer shell 112 and a water tank 113, with the water tank 113 located inside the outer shell 112. The steam generating assembly 120 includes a heating element 122 and a concentrating ring 123. The heating element 122 is installed at the bottom of the water tank 113, and the concentrating ring 123 is located inside the water tank 113. The concentrating ring 123 has a steam outlet 121, and its interior is connected to the water tank 113. Water from the water tank 113 can be added to the concentrating ring 123. The heating element 122 is used to heat the water inside the concentrating ring 123, allowing the small amount of water inside the concentrating ring 123 to be heated rapidly, thereby increasing the steam generation rate.
