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 an important component of cooking appliances, and it is usually mounted inside the pot body via a circuit board bracket. To collect condensation and other liquids that enter the pot from above, a water collection tray is also installed inside the pot body.

[0003] There are generally two installation methods for the water collection box and circuit board. One method involves installing the circuit board and water collection box together, with their installation positions close together. This method makes the internal structure of the pot more compact, but it is prone to interference during installation, making the installation more difficult. In addition, there are many wires connected to the circuit board, and water in the water collection box can easily come into contact with the wires, causing short circuits or malfunctions.

[0004] Another method involves installing the circuit board and water collection box at different locations on the pot body to increase the distance between them. While this method reduces the risk of damage to the circuit board and wires when exposed to water, it occupies a large amount of space inside the pot body and is generally not applicable to miniaturized cooking appliances, which is not conducive to the miniaturization of cooking appliances.

[0005] Therefore, how to rationally arrange the positions of the water collection box and the circuit board to save on the internal structure of the pot and reduce the risk of water contact with the circuit board and wires has become an urgent problem to be solved in this field. Utility Model Content

[0006] This utility model provides a cooking appliance that, while saving internal space in the pot, solves the problem that the circuit board and wires are easily damaged by water due to the installation location of the water collection box and circuit board.

[0007] The technical solution adopted in this utility model is as follows:

[0008] A cooking appliance includes a pot body and a circuit board disposed inside the pot body. The circuit board is mounted on a circuit board support. The cooking appliance also includes a water collection part disposed at the rear end of the pot body. The water collection part is attached to the circuit board support and is located on the outer side of the circuit board along the radial direction of the pot body. The top of the water collection part has a collection port, and the bottom wall of the water collection part has a water outlet. The outer side of the water collection part has a wire hanging structure, which forms a wire routing channel that constrains the wires. The wire routing channel extends from one end of the water collection part to the other end.

[0009] In this invention, the water collection part and the circuit board are centrally arranged at the rear end of the pot body. The water collection part is located on the outer side of the circuit board along the radial direction of the pot body, so that the two are arranged adjacent to each other and closer together. Since the space at the rear end of the pot body is relatively large, the central arrangement here not only saves the internal space of the pot body and is conducive to miniaturization, but also the drain on the upper surface of the pot body is located on the top surface of the rear end of the pot body, which makes it more convenient to collect the liquid dripping from the drain and improves the collection effect of the water collection part.

[0010] Furthermore, the water collection section has an internal liquid collection area and an external hanging structure for the guide wire. This structure not only separates the guide wire from the internal liquid but also provides some restraint to the wire, making it more regular and further reducing the risk of damage from contact with the liquid inside the water collection section. Moreover, the guide wire, when used with the hanging structure, is supported, which increases the tension of longer guide wires and prevents excessive sag that could lead to poor connection stability. Simultaneously, because the circuit board and the water collection section are close together, the hanging structure supports the guide wire closer to the end where the guide wire connects to the circuit board, further improving the restraint effect on the guide wire and the connection stability.

[0011] The hanging structure includes two hanging ribs set on the bottom wall of the water collection part and located on both sides of the water outlet. The line passage passes through one side of the water outlet, and the water collection part is provided with a water-blocking wall on the side of the water outlet facing the line passage.

[0012] In this design, the liquid collected in the water collection section flows out through the outlet on the bottom wall and is discharged outside the pot body. When the wire passes through the water collection section, it is restricted by the hanging ribs on both sides of the bottom wall of the water collection section, and thus passes through the bottom of the water collection section. The two hanging ribs work together with the wire to provide better restraint and support for the wire. Since the hanging ribs are located on both sides of the outlet, the wire between them will pass through the outlet. By setting a water-blocking rib on one side of the outlet, the outlet and the wire are separated. The outlet is located on one side of the water-blocking rib, and the other side of the water-blocking rib forms a wire routing channel. This prevents the liquid flowing out of the outlet from contacting the wire in the routing channel. Instead, it is guided downwards by the water-blocking rib and drips down, reducing the possibility of the wire in the routing channel short-circuiting or being damaged by water.

[0013] The water collection section is equipped with a surrounding rib that surrounds the water outlet. The surrounding rib includes a main body and a protrusion facing the cable channel. The height of the protrusion is higher than that of the main body to form a water-blocking wall.

[0014] In this design, the surrounding ribs encircle the outlet, serving two purposes. First, they shield the liquid at the outlet, confining it within the area enclosed by the ribs and preventing it from flowing to other areas outside the collection section or dripping into the pot body. Second, the ribs guide the liquid at the outlet, directing it downwards along the ribs and ensuring that the dripping point is within the projection range of the ribs, thus facilitating subsequent collection and discharge. The height of the ribs varies along the circumferential direction of the outlet, with the ribs facing the cable routing channel being taller. This enhances the liquid guidance effect and further reduces the risk of liquid overflowing the ribs and entering the cable routing channel.

[0015] The hanging structure includes hanging ribs set on the side wall of the water collection section so that the cable routing channel is set away from the water outlet.

[0016] In this design, the hanging structure is located on the side wall of the water collection section, while the outlet is located on the bottom wall of the water collection section. This allows the cable routing channel and the outlet to be located on different sides of the water collection section, thus enabling the cable routing channel to avoid the location of the outlet. Furthermore, the cable routing channel is positioned higher than the bottom wall of the water collection section, i.e., the location of the outlet, making it more difficult for liquid at the outlet to flow upward to the cable routing channel, thereby reducing the risk of the conductor encountering water.

[0017] 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 is provided with a downwardly extending fixing post, which passes through the water outlet to be securely connected to the base.

[0018] In this design, the fixing column extends into the outlet and is securely connected to the base, achieving a multi-functional outlet. It not only provides water dispensing but also avoids the need for additional space between the fixing column and the base, simplifying the pot's structure, saving internal space, and reducing costs. Simultaneously, the outlet, in conjunction with the fixing column, provides positioning, ensuring more accurate relative positions between the water collection section and the middle ring. This allows the water collection section to maintain vertical alignment with the drip tip of the middle ring, stably collecting the dripping liquid.

[0019] The base is equipped with an upward-extending drainage column. The drainage column has a fixing rib and a drainage channel inside. The fixing column and the fixing rib are tightly connected. The drainage channel is set up vertically and vertically with the water outlet so that liquid can drip from the water outlet into the drainage channel.

[0020] In this design, the drainage column also serves a dual function of drainage and fixation. Its internal fixing ribs are used for secure connection with the fixing column, and the drainage channel corresponds vertically to the water outlet, thus collecting the liquid dripping from the outlet and further draining it from the pot body through the drainage channel. The drainage column achieves functional integration, simplifying the base structure and saving internal space within the pot body.

[0021] The pot body includes an outer cover and a middle ring located above the outer cover. A mounting base is provided at the rear end of the middle ring. The bottom wall of the mounting base has a collection area with a drip outlet. The collection area is provided with a water guiding slope that gradually decreases towards the drip outlet.

[0022] In this design, liquid on the surface of the central ring can enter the mounting base through the drain outlet on the upper surface of the pot body, and then drip down into the water collection section through the drip outlet on the bottom surface of the mounting base. The drip outlet and the collection outlet are arranged vertically and vertically. The bottom surface of the mounting base is provided with a collection area, which has a water guiding slope, allowing the liquid to flow along the water guiding slope towards the drip outlet, preventing it from accumulating on the bottom of the mounting base for a long time, ensuring timely drainage of the liquid and cleanliness inside the mounting base.

[0023] The bottom wall of the mounting base is provided with a water-blocking rib. One side of the water-blocking rib forms a collection area, and the other side is provided with a limiting rib. The limiting rib and the water-blocking rib cooperate to form a limiting opening for installing the torsion spring support foot.

[0024] In this design, the mounting base is hinged to the pot lid, and a torsion spring is installed inside the mounting base. The water-retaining rib divides the bottom surface of the mounting base into two areas. One side forms a collection area to guide the collected liquid, while the other side, in conjunction with the limiting rib, forms a limiting opening for mounting the torsion spring's support leg. The torsion spring's support leg passes through this limiting opening, allowing the mounting base to stop the torsion spring's support leg and ensure reliable operation. Simultaneously, both the limiting rib and the water-retaining rib are located at the point where the mounting base's bottom surface mates with the torsion spring's support leg, further enhancing the structural strength at this location and preventing deformation or damage to the bottom surface of the mounting base under the force of the torsion spring's support leg.

[0025] There is a water-leaking gap between the outer edge of the collection area and the inner wall of the outer casing, and the downward projection of the water-leaking gap is located inside the collection port.

[0026] In this design, the outer cover is located outside the mounting base. If the collection area on the bottom surface of the mounting base contacts the inner wall of the outer cover, the liquid in the collection area will flow downwards through the inner wall of the outer cover and enter the pot body, potentially coming into contact with other electrical components. By setting a drainage gap between the outer edge of the collection area and the inner wall of the outer cover, the two are prevented from contacting each other. Therefore, the liquid will not directly contact the inner wall of the outer cover, nor can it flow downwards along the inner wall. When the liquid in the collection area reaches its edge, it will drip directly downwards from the drainage gap. Since the drainage gap is directly below the collection port, the dripping liquid can directly enter the water collection section and be collected.

[0027] The circuit board bracket has a first mounting side facing the inside of the pot body and a second mounting side facing away from the inside of the pot body, with the circuit board disposed on the second mounting side; or, the circuit board is disposed on the first mounting side, and the edge of the circuit board bracket is provided with a limiting groove for wires to pass through.

[0028] In one embodiment, the circuit board is positioned on the first mounting side of a circuit board bracket, allowing the bracket to separate the circuit board from the water collection section. This brings the circuit board closer to the electrical components inside the pot, facilitating electrical connections. Furthermore, the circuit board bracket prevents liquid from flowing from the water collection section to the circuit board side. Since the circuit board and water collection section face opposite directions, the wires need to pass through the water collection section and connect to the circuit board via the circuit board bracket. By providing limiting grooves on the edge of the circuit board bracket, the wires are further restrained, resulting in neater wires and a more stable connection to the circuit board.

[0029] In another embodiment, the circuit board is positioned on the second mounting side of the circuit board bracket, thus facing the water collection section. The two are closer together, so the wires can be directly connected to the circuit board after passing through the hanging structure, thereby further shortening the wire length.

[0051] To more clearly illustrate the overall concept of this utility model, a detailed description will be provided below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0052] 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.

[0053] Furthermore, it should be understood in the description of this utility model that the terms "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer", "axial", "radial", "circumferential", etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and 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. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model.

[0054] In this utility model, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," "linking," and "fixing," etc., should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral part; they can refer to a mechanical connection, an electrical connection, or a communication connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; they can refer to the internal communication of two components or the interaction between two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model according to the specific circumstances.

[0055] In this invention, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, the first feature "on" or "below" the second feature may be in direct contact with the first and second features, or indirect contact through an intermediate medium. In the description of this specification, references to terms such as "implementation," "example," "aspect," or "specific example" indicate that a specific feature, structure, material, or characteristic described in connection with that embodiment or example is included in at least one embodiment or example of this invention. In this specification, the illustrative expressions of the above terms do not necessarily refer to the same embodiment or example. Furthermore, the specific features, structures, materials, or characteristics described may be combined in any suitable manner in one or more embodiments or examples.

[0056] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 As shown, a cooking appliance includes a pot body 1 and a circuit board 2 disposed inside the pot body 1. The circuit board 2 is disposed on a circuit board support 6. The cooking appliance also includes a water collection part 3 disposed at the rear end of the pot body 1. The water collection part 3 is attached to the circuit board support 6 and is located on the outside of the circuit board 2 along the radial direction of the pot body 1. The top of the water collection part 3 has a collection port 35, and the bottom wall of the water collection part 3 has a water outlet 34. The outside of the water collection part 3 has a hanging wire structure 31, which forms a wire routing channel 37 for constraining the wires. The wire routing channel 37 extends from one end of the water collection part 3 to the other end.

[0057] It is understandable that when the user is using the pot, the end facing the user in the radial direction of the pot body 1 is the front end, and the end away from the user is the rear end.

[0058] It should be noted that this utility model does not limit the assembly method of the water collection part 3 and the circuit board bracket 6. In one embodiment, such as Figure 1 As shown, the water collection part 3 and the circuit board support 6 are separate structures, independent of each other, and can be fixed separately to the inside of the pot body 1. In another embodiment, as... Figure 13 As shown, the water collection part 3 and the circuit board bracket 6 are integrally formed, or can be pre-fixed to the circuit board bracket 6 so that the two form a component, thereby being synchronously fixed to the inside of the pot body 1.

[0059] In this invention, the vertical placement of the circuit board 2 significantly saves the radial space of the pot body 1, thereby reducing the radial dimension of the pot body 1. The water collection part 3 and the circuit board 2 are concentrated at the rear end of the pot body 1. The water collection part 3 is located on the outer side of the circuit board 2 along the radial direction of the pot body 1, making them adjacent to each other and closer together. Since the rear end of the pot body 1 has a large space, this concentrated arrangement not only saves internal space of the pot body 1 and is conducive to miniaturization, but also makes it easier to collect the liquid dripping from the drain outlet, thus improving the collection effect of the water collection part 3.

[0060] Furthermore, the water collection section 3 has an internal liquid collection area and an external hanging structure 31 for the passage of wires. This structure not only separates the wires from the internal liquid but also provides some restraint to the wires, making them more regular and further reducing the risk of damage from contact between the wires and the liquid inside the water collection section 3. Moreover, when the wires are engaged with the hanging structure 31, they are supported by it. For longer wires, this increases the tension, preventing excessive sag and ensuring stable connection. Simultaneously, because the circuit board 2 and the water collection section 3 are close together, the hanging structure 31 supports the wires closer to the end where the wire connects to the circuit board 2, further enhancing the restraint effect and connection stability.

[0061] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, such as Figure 2 , Figure 3 As shown, the hanging structure 31 includes two hanging ribs 311 set on the bottom wall of the water collection part 3 and located on both sides of the water outlet 34. The line passage 37 passes through one side of the water outlet 34. The water collection part 3 is provided with a water-blocking wall 33 on the side of the water outlet 34 facing the line passage 37.

[0062] Specifically, such as Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the water collection section 3 has an open top, forming a collection port 35. A hanging wire structure 31 is provided on the bottom wall of the water collection section 3, and a water outlet 34 is opened on the bottom wall.

[0063] The liquid collected in the water collection section 3 can flow out through the outlet 34 on the bottom wall and then be discharged outside the pot body 1. When the wire passes through the water collection section 3, it is restricted by the hanging ribs 311 on both sides of the bottom wall of the water collection section 3, and thus passes through the bottom of the water collection section 3. The two hanging ribs 311 cooperate with the wire to improve the limiting and support effect of the wire. Since the hanging ribs 311 are located on both sides of the outlet 34, the wire between them will pass through the outlet 34. By setting a water-blocking rib 125 on one side of the outlet 34, the outlet 34 is separated from the wire. The outlet 34 is located on one side of the water-blocking rib 125, and the other side of the water-blocking rib 125 forms the wire passage 37. This prevents the liquid flowing out of the outlet 34 from contacting the wire in the wire passage 37, but allows it to drip downwards under the guidance of the water-blocking rib 125, reducing the possibility of the wire in the wire passage 37 short-circuiting or being damaged by water.

[0064] Specifically, such as Figure 3 As shown, the hanging rib 311 has a horizontally extending section and an upwardly extending hooking section, so that the hanging rib 311 has a hook-shaped structure and the conductor can be hooked on the hanging rib 311.

[0065] In one embodiment, such as Figure 2 , Figure 3 As shown, the wiring channel 37 is located on the rear side of the water outlet 34 (the side closer to the center of the pot body 1), and the baffle wall 33 is correspondingly arranged on the rear side of the water outlet 34. In another embodiment, the wiring channel 37 can also be located on the front side of the water outlet 34 (the side away from the center of the pot body 1), in which case the baffle wall 33 can be correspondingly arranged on the front side of the water outlet 34.

[0066] Furthermore, such as Figure 3 As shown, the water collection part 3 is provided with a surrounding rib 32 around the water outlet 34. The surrounding rib 32 includes a main body and a protrusion facing the cable channel 37. The height of the protrusion is higher than that of the main body to form a water-blocking wall 33.

[0067] The surrounding ribs 32 encircle the outer perimeter of the outlet 34. On the one hand, they shield the liquid at the outlet 34, confining it within the area enclosed by the ribs 32 and preventing it from flowing to other areas outside the collection section 3 or dripping into the pot body 1. On the other hand, the surrounding ribs 32 guide the liquid at the outlet 34, causing it to flow downwards along the ribs 32 and drip within the projection range of the ribs 32, thus facilitating subsequent collection and discharge. The height of the surrounding ribs 32 varies along the circumferential direction of the outlet 34, with the ribs 32 facing the wiring channel 37 being higher to form a water-blocking wall 33. This enhances the liquid guidance effect and further reduces the risk of liquid overflowing the surrounding ribs 32 and entering the wiring channel 37.

[0068] In another embodiment, the hanging structure 31 includes a hanging rib 311 disposed on the side wall of the water collection part 3 so that the cable channel 37 is disposed away from the water outlet 34.

[0069] The hanging structure 31 is located on the side wall of the water collection part 3, while the outlet 34 is located on the bottom wall of the water collection part 3. This allows the cable routing channel 37 and the outlet 34 to be located on different sides of the water collection part 3, thus enabling the cable routing channel 37 to avoid the location of the outlet 34. Furthermore, the cable routing channel 37 is positioned higher than the bottom wall of the water collection part 3, i.e., the location of the outlet 34. This makes it more difficult for liquid at the outlet 34 to flow upward to the cable routing channel 37, thereby reducing the risk of the wire getting wet.

[0070] In this embodiment, the hanging structure 31 can be located on the rear side wall of the water collection part 3 (the side wall close to the inside of the pot body 1), or it can be provided on the side walls on the left and right sides of the water collection part 3 (the side walls on both sides along the circumferential direction of the pot body 1).

[0071] In a preferred embodiment, such as Figure 2 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 As shown, 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 is provided with a downwardly extending fixing post 123, which passes through the water outlet 34 to be securely connected to the base 13.

[0072] The fixing column 123 extends into the outlet 34 and is securely connected to the base 13, realizing the multi-functionality of the outlet 34. It can not only realize the water dispensing function, but also avoid the connection between the fixing column 123 and the base 13, so that the connection between the base 13 and the middle ring 12 does not require additional space, thereby simplifying the structure of the pot body 1, saving internal space and reducing costs. At the same time, the outlet 34 can cooperate with the fixing column 123 to form a positioning, making the relative position of the water collecting part 3 and the middle ring 12 more accurate. This allows the water collecting part 3 to maintain vertical alignment with the drip nozzle 122 of the middle ring 12, stably collecting the liquid dripping from the drip nozzle 122.

[0073] Furthermore, such as Figure 2 , Figure 5 As shown, the base 13 is provided with an upwardly extending drainage column 131. The drainage column 131 is provided with a fixing rib 133 and a drainage channel 132. The fixing column 123 is fastened to the fixing rib 133. The drainage channel 132 is arranged vertically and vertically corresponding to the water outlet 34 so that liquid can drip from the water outlet 34 into the drainage channel 132.

[0074] The drain column 131 also serves a dual function of drainage and fixation. Its internal fixing ribs 133 are used to securely connect with the fixing column 123. The drain channel 132 corresponds vertically to the outlet 34, thereby collecting the liquid dripping from the outlet 34 and further discharging it from the pot body 1 through the drain channel 132. The drain column 131 achieves functional integration, which simplifies the structure of the base 13 and saves internal space in the pot body 1.

[0075] Preferably, such as Figure 5 As shown, the fixing column 123 is located at the center of the outlet 34 so that the liquid flows through the outer periphery of the fixing column 123. Correspondingly, the fixing rib 133 is located at the center of the drainage column 131 so that the drainage channel 132 surrounds the outer periphery of the fixing rib 133.

[0076] like Figure 5 As shown, the cooking appliance also includes fasteners, which are fastened to the fixing post 123 by passing through the fixing rib 133. Of course, the fixing post 123 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.

[0077] It should be noted that this utility model does not limit the fixing method of the water collection part 3. In one embodiment, such as... Figure 2 , Figure 3 As shown, the water collecting part 3 is fixed to the middle ring 12. Specifically, the rear end of the middle ring 12 has a mounting base 121, the water collecting part 3 is provided with a fixing hole 36, and the mounting base 121 is provided with a mounting hole. The water collecting part 3 is fastened to the middle ring 12 by screws or other fasteners. In other embodiments, the water collecting part 3 can also be fixed to the inside of the pot body 1 in other ways. For example, the water collecting part 3 can be fixed by clamping it between the middle ring 12 and the base 13, or the water collecting part 3 can be fixedly connected to the base 13, etc., which are not limited here.

[0078] Preferably, such as Figure 6 , Figure 7 As shown, the pot body 1 includes an outer cover 11 and a middle ring 12 located above the outer cover 11. A mounting base 121 is provided at the rear end of the middle ring 12. The bottom wall of the mounting base 121 has a collection area 124 for collecting liquid. A drip nozzle 122 is provided in the collection area 124. A water guiding slope 1245 that gradually decreases toward the drip nozzle 122 is provided in the collection area 124.

[0079] like Figure 11 As shown, the mounting base 121 is used to rotatably connect with the pot lid 4. The mounting base 121 has a mounting hole for mounting the rotating shaft 41, and a torsion spring 42 is sleeved on the outside of the rotating shaft 41.

[0080] In the prior art, the bottom surface of the mounting base 121 is usually a flat structure. When the liquid on the upper surface of the pot body 1 enters the mounting base 121, it often accumulates on the bottom surface and is difficult to drain. Over time, this will cause internal pollution of the mounting base 121 and emit an odor.

[0081] In this embodiment, liquid on the surface of the central ring 12 can enter the mounting base 121 through the drain on the upper surface of the pot body 1, and drip down into the water collection part 3 through the drip outlet 122 on the bottom surface of the mounting base 121. The drip outlet 122 and the collection port 35 are arranged vertically and vertically respectively. The bottom surface of the mounting base 121 is provided with a collection area 124, which has a water guiding slope 1245, so that the liquid can flow along the water guiding slope 1245 to the drip outlet 122, and will not accumulate on the bottom of the mounting base 121 for a long time, ensuring timely drainage of liquid and cleanliness inside the mounting base 121.

[0082] Preferably, a hole can be made near the mounting base 121 to form a drain outlet, or the gap between the middle ring 12 and the mounting base 121 can form a drain outlet, allowing the liquid on the surface of the middle ring 12 to flow into the interior of the mounting base 121.

[0083] Specifically, such as Figure 7 As shown, the collection area 124 is provided with two water guiding slopes 1245, which are arranged in a V-shape. The drip nozzle 122 is located at the intersection (lowest point) of the two slopes and extends to one of the water guiding slopes 1245.

[0084] Furthermore, such as Figure 7 As shown, the bottom wall of the mounting base 121 is provided with a water-blocking rib 125. One side of the water-blocking rib 125 forms a collection area 124, and the other side is provided with a limiting rib 127. The limiting rib 127 and the water-blocking rib 125 cooperate to form a limiting opening 126 for installing the torsion spring 42 support foot.

[0085] Mounting base 121 is hinged to pot lid 4, and torsion spring 42 is installed inside mounting base 121. Water-retaining rib 125 divides the bottom surface of mounting base 121 into two areas. One side forms a collection area 124 to guide collected liquid, and the other side, in conjunction with limiting rib 127, forms a limiting opening 126 for mounting the torsion spring 42's support foot. The torsion spring 42's support foot passes through the limiting opening 126, allowing mounting base 121 to stop the torsion spring 42's support foot, ensuring reliable operation. Simultaneously, both limiting rib 127 and water-retaining rib 125 are located at the point where the bottom surface of mounting base 121 engages with the torsion spring 42's support foot, further enhancing the structural strength at this location and preventing deformation or damage to the bottom surface of mounting base 121 under the force of the torsion spring 42's support foot.

[0086] Specifically, such as Figure 6 , Figure 7As shown, the bottom wall of the mounting base 121 is provided with two water-blocking ribs 125 at intervals along the circumference of the pot body 1. The outer sides of the two water-blocking ribs 125 each form a collection area 124. A limiting rib 127 is provided between the two water-blocking ribs 125, which together with the two water-blocking ribs 125 form a limiting opening 126. The torsion spring 42 supports the foot and extends into the limiting opening 126 to complete the limiting engagement.

[0087] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, such as Figures 8 to 10 As shown, there is a water leakage gap 128 between the outer edge of the collection area 124 and the inner wall of the outer cover 11, and the downward projection of the water leakage gap 128 is located inside the collection port 35.

[0088] The outer cover 11 is located outside the mounting base 121. If the collection area 124 on the bottom surface of the mounting base 121 contacts the inner wall of the outer cover 11, the liquid in the collection area 124 will flow downward through the inner wall of the outer cover 11 and enter the pot body 1, which may lead to contact with other electrical components.

[0089] By providing a water-leaking gap 128 between the outer edge of the collection area 124 and the inner wall of the outer cover 11, the two are not in contact, so the liquid will not directly contact the inner wall of the outer cover 11, nor can it flow downward along the inner wall of the outer cover 11. When the liquid in the collection area 124 flows to its edge, it will drip directly down from the water-leaking gap 128. The bottom of the water-leaking gap 128 is directly opposite the collection port 35, so the dripping liquid can directly enter the water collection part 3 and be collected.

[0090] Furthermore, such as Figure 10 As shown, the distance between the outer edge of the collection area 124 and the inner wall of the outer cover 11 is D, where D > 1.3 mm, in order to increase the gap between the two so that the liquid can drip smoothly and avoid the formation of a water seal in the leakage gap 128.

[0091] Specifically, such as Figure 7 As shown, the collection area 124 includes a first area 1241 and a second area 1242 arranged circumferentially along the pot body 1. The second area 1242 is located outside the first area 1241 and has lugs 1243 protruding towards the outer cover 11, such that the lugs 1243 are located on both sides of the mounting base 121 in the circumferential direction of the pot body 1. A water leakage notch 1244 is provided between the lugs 1243 and the first area 1241 to further increase the gap between this area and the inner wall of the outer cover 11, allowing liquid to drip from this point.

[0092] Preferably, such as Figure 1 , Figure 8 As shown, the width of the water collection section 3 is greater than the width of the mounting base 121, so as to collect as much liquid as possible dripping into the mounting base 121.

[0093] like Figure 12 As shown, the cooking appliance also includes a rear cover 5, which can be mounted laterally on the mounting base 121 to close the mounting base 121.

[0094] In a preferred embodiment, such as Figure 8 As shown, the pot body 1 includes an outer cover 11, and the outer surface of the water collection part 3 has a contact arc surface adapted to the shape of the outer cover 11.

[0095] The water collection part 3 is located on the outside of the circuit board 2, and therefore closer to the outer cover 11. By designing the outer surface of the water collection part 3 as an arc surface that conforms to the shape of the outer cover 11, the water collection part 3 can also support the outer cover 11 and reduce its deformation. When the outer cover 11 is subjected to external force and deforms inward, the water collection part 3 can form an outward support for the outer cover 11 from the inside to resist the deformation of the outer cover 11. In this way, the water collection part 3 integrates the functions of collecting liquid and supporting the outer cover 11, serving multiple purposes. This eliminates the need for a support component at the rear end of the pot body 1, simplifying the internal structure of the pot body 1 and saving costs.

[0096] Preferably, such as Figure 1 , Figure 13 As shown, circuit board 2 is mounted on circuit board bracket 6. However, this invention does not limit the mounting position of circuit board 2. In one embodiment, such as... Figure 1 As shown, the circuit board bracket 6 has a first mounting side facing the interior of the pot body 1 and a second mounting side facing away from the interior of the pot body 1, and the circuit board 2 is disposed on the second mounting side.

[0097] The circuit board 2 is located on the second mounting side of the circuit board bracket 6, and therefore faces the water collection part 3. The two are closer together, so the wires can be directly connected to the circuit board 2 after passing through the hanging structure 31, thereby further shortening the wire length.

[0098] In another implementation, such as Figure 13 As shown, the circuit board 2 is disposed on the first mounting side, and the edge of the circuit board bracket 6 is provided with a limiting groove 61 for the passage of wires.

[0099] Circuit board 2 is positioned on the first mounting side of circuit board bracket 6, allowing the bracket 6 to separate circuit board 2 from water collection section 3. This brings circuit board 2 closer to the electrical components inside the pot body 1, facilitating electrical connections. Furthermore, circuit board bracket 6 prevents liquid from flowing from water collection section 3 to circuit board 2. Since circuit board 2 and water collection section 3 face away from each other, the wires need to pass through water collection section 3, bypassing circuit board bracket 6, to connect to circuit board 2. A limiting groove 61 is provided on the edge of circuit board bracket 6 to further limit the wires, making them more regular and ensuring a more stable connection with circuit board 2.
