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] Currently, electric pressure cookers include a heat preservation cover, an inner pot, a heating device, and a lid. The heating device heats the inner pot to cook food.

[0003] In related technologies, the bottom of the heat preservation cover has an inward-curved edge, and the heating structure is located below the inward-curved edge. Because there is a gap between the heating structure and the inward-curved edge, water droplets inside the electric pressure cooker can easily enter below the heating structure through the gap, which can easily lead to damage to the heating structure. 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 in related technologies where water droplets easily enter below the heating plate and thus easily damage the heating structure.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, according to one aspect of the present invention, a cooker body assembly is provided, comprising: a heat-insulating cover, the heat-insulating cover including a side wall and an inner flange disposed at the bottom of the side wall; a heating assembly including a main body and an edge portion connected to the periphery of the main body, the edge portion being connected to the inner flange and disposed below the inner flange; and a waterproof structure disposed between the edge portion and the inner flange, the waterproof structure including a first water-blocking portion disposed on the edge portion and extending upward therefrom.

[0006] The present invention provides a heat insulation cover comprising a side wall and an inner flange, and a heating component comprising a main body and an edge portion, the edge portion being disposed below and connected to the inner flange. A waterproof structure includes a first water-blocking portion disposed on the edge portion and extending upwards. With this arrangement, the first water-blocking portion is located between the inner flange and the edge portion, thus preventing water droplets from flowing into the lower part of the heating component through the gap between the inner flange and the edge portion. Specifically, when water droplets flow onto the edge portion, the first water-blocking portion, being disposed on the edge portion and extending upwards, prevents water droplets from flowing outwards along the edge portion and into the lower part of the heating component, thereby avoiding damage to the heating component. Therefore, the present invention effectively solves the problem in related technologies where water droplets easily enter the lower part of the heating structure, leading to damage.

[0007] Furthermore, the waterproof structure also includes a second water-blocking portion extending downwards and positioned above the first water-blocking portion, with the first and second water-blocking portions interlocking. This interlocking of the second and first water-blocking portions increases the height of the waterproof structure, thereby further enhancing the waterproofing effect. Simultaneously, the interlocking of the first and second water-blocking portions increases the contact area between them, further improving the waterproofing effect.

[0008] Furthermore, the first water-blocking part is one of the water-blocking rib and the slot, and the second water-blocking part is the other of the slot and the water-blocking rib. The structure of the water-blocking rib and the slot is simple, and the plug-in installation method is relatively easy.

[0009] Furthermore, the insulation cover also includes a vertical flange, and a second water-retaining part is disposed at the bottom of the inner flange and / or the bottom of the vertical flange. The vertical flange further improves the structural strength of the insulation cover, thus preventing deformation and damage. The location of the second water-retaining part is easy to process.

[0010] Furthermore, the pot body assembly also includes a support structure that abuts against the inner flange. The support structure includes a support portion extending to the inner side of the inner flange, forming a second water-retaining portion. This support structure enables the inner pot to be supported, and because the support portion forms the second water-retaining portion, it facilitates the machining of the second water-retaining portion.

[0011] Furthermore, the insulation cover also includes a vertical flange, which is located at the inner edge of the inner flange and extends downwards. The support portion is located inside the vertical flange and cooperates with it. The aforementioned vertical flange can support the support portion, thereby making the position of the support portion more stable. And because the vertical flange is located at the inner edge of the inner flange and the support portion is located inside the vertical flange, the waterproof position is closer to the center of the insulation cover, thus better preventing water from entering the gap between the inner flange and the heating component.

[0012] Furthermore, an upward-extending annular stop is provided on the edge, spaced apart from the waterproof structure and located on the outside of the waterproof structure. The support and vertical flange both extend downward, with the vertical flange located between the waterproof structure and the annular stop. The annular stop further enhances waterproofing; even if a small amount of water is not effectively blocked by the waterproof structure, the annular stop can provide secondary water blocking.

[0013] Furthermore, the first water-blocking part is an annular water-blocking rib, which gradually tapers in the direction from the heating component to the inner flange. This annular water-blocking rib is easy to process and demold, and this design also ensures good structural strength.

[0014] Furthermore, an upwardly extending annular stop is provided on the edge, with the annular stop spaced apart from the waterproof structure and located on the outside of the waterproof structure. The annular stop further enhances waterproofing; even if a small amount of water is not effectively blocked by the waterproof structure, the annular stop can provide secondary water blocking.

[0015] Furthermore, the heating assembly also includes an IH heating element, which is arranged around the lower part of the main body. The IH heating element can achieve heating and provides more uniform heating, thus improving the user experience.

[0016] According to a second aspect of this utility model, a cooking appliance is provided, including a pot body assembly. The pot body assembly further includes an inner pot and a supporting structure. The inner pot is disposed inside a heat-insulating cover and above a heating element. The supporting structure abuts against an inner flange and supports the inner pot. The pot body assembly is the aforementioned pot body assembly. The aforementioned supporting structure supports the inner pot, thereby making the position of the inner pot more stable. Furthermore, after the cooking appliance is heated and pressurized, the inner pot can transfer the force to the supporting structure, thus preventing the force from acting directly on the heating element and preventing damage to the heating element. Simultaneously, due to the waterproof structure, water is prevented from entering below the heating element, thereby preventing damage to the heating element.

[0017] According to a third aspect of this utility model, a cooking appliance is provided, including a pot body assembly. The pot body assembly further includes an inner pot, which is disposed inside a heat-insulating cover and above a heating element. The pot body assembly is the aforementioned pot body assembly. The waterproof structure of the aforementioned pot body assembly prevents water from entering between the inner flange and the edge, thereby preventing water from entering below the heating element and thus preventing damage to the heating element. Therefore, the cooking appliance having the aforementioned pot body assembly also has the aforementioned advantages. Attached Figure Description

[0027] like Figures 1 to 3As shown, in this embodiment, the pot body assembly includes: a heat insulation cover 10, a heating component 20, and a waterproof structure 30. The heat insulation cover 10 includes a side wall 11 and an inner flange 12 disposed at the bottom of the side wall 11. The heating component 20 includes a main body 21 and an edge portion 22 connected to the periphery of the main body 21. The edge portion 22 is connected to the inner flange 12 and disposed below the inner flange 12. The waterproof structure 30 is disposed between the edge portion 22 and the inner flange 12, and the waterproof structure 30 includes a first water-blocking portion 31 disposed on the edge portion 22 and extending upward.

[0028] Applying the technical solution of this embodiment, the heat insulation cover 10 includes a side wall 11 and an inner flange 12, and the heating component 20 includes a main body 21 and an edge portion 22, with the edge portion 22 disposed below and connected to the inner flange 12. The waterproof structure 30 includes a first water-blocking portion 31, which is disposed on the edge portion 22 and extends upward. With the above arrangement, the first water-blocking portion 31 is located between the inner flange 12 and the edge portion 22, thus preventing water droplets from flowing into the lower part of the heating component 20 through the gap between the inner flange 12 and the edge portion 22. Specifically, when water droplets flow onto the edge portion 22, because the first water-blocking portion 31 is disposed on the edge portion 22 and extends upward, it prevents water droplets from flowing outward along the edge portion 22 and into the lower part of the heating component 20, thereby avoiding damage to the heating component 20. Therefore, the technical solution of this embodiment effectively solves the problem in related technologies that water droplets can easily enter the lower part of the heating structure, thus easily causing damage to the heating structure.

[0029] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment, the waterproof structure 30 further includes a second water-blocking portion 32 extending downward and disposed above the first water-blocking portion 31. The first water-blocking portion 31 and the second water-blocking portion 32 are interlocked. The interlocking of the second water-blocking portion 32 and the first water-blocking portion 31 increases the height of the waterproof structure 30, thereby further improving the waterproofing effect. Simultaneously, the interlocking of the first water-blocking portion 31 and the second water-blocking portion 32 increases the contact area between them, further enhancing the waterproofing effect.

[0030] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment, the first water-blocking part 31 is one of the water-blocking rib and the slot, and the second water-blocking part 32 is the other of the slot and the water-blocking rib. The structure of the water-blocking rib and the slot is simple, and the plug-in installation method is relatively easy.

[0031] Specifically, in this embodiment, the first water-blocking part 31 is a water-blocking rib, and the second water-blocking part 32 is a slot. Both the water-blocking rib and the slot are annular structures arranged circumferentially along the edge part 22.

[0032] In an embodiment not shown in the figure, the first water-blocking part 31 is a slot. Specifically, an upwardly extending protrusion is provided on the edge part 22, and a slot is provided on the protrusion.

[0033] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the insulation cover 10 also includes a vertical flange 13. In some embodiments, the second water-blocking part 32 is disposed at the bottom of the inner flange 12 and / or the bottom of the vertical flange 13. The provision of the vertical flange 13 can further improve the structural strength of the insulation cover 10, thus preventing the insulation cover 10 from being deformed and damaged.

[0034] In some embodiments, the second water-blocking part 32 can be disposed at the bottom of the inner flange 12, that is, a downward protrusion on a portion of the lower surface of the inner flange 12 can form the second water-blocking part 32. The second water-blocking part 32 can also be a downward-facing groove, and the corresponding first water-blocking part 31 is disposed below the second water-blocking part 32 and inserted into it. Optionally, the second water-blocking part 32 can also be disposed at the bottom of the vertical flange 13, that is, the bottom of the vertical flange 13 forms a groove or the lower part of the vertical flange is directly inserted into the groove of the first water-blocking part, and is not limited to one embodiment.

[0035] In some other implementations, the second water-blocking part can be a separately formed structure. For example, the second water-blocking part can be a separate block structure with grooves, which is installed after the first water-blocking part and the second water-blocking part are inserted or otherwise connected.

[0036] Specifically, the second water-blocking part 32 can be set at the bottom of the inner flange 12, or at the bottom of the vertical flange 13, or multiple second water-blocking parts 32 can be set at the bottom of both the inner flange 12 and the vertical flange 13, and multiple first water-blocking parts 31 can also be set at the corresponding positions.

[0037] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, in this embodiment, the pot body assembly further includes a support structure 40, which abuts against the inner flange 12. The support structure 40 includes a support portion 41 extending to the inner side of the inner flange 12, and the support portion 41 forms a second water-blocking portion 32. The support structure 40 supports the inner pot, and because the support portion 41 forms the second water-blocking portion 32, the second water-blocking portion 32 is easy to manufacture. Simultaneously, when installing the heating component 20, the insertion and engagement of the first water-blocking portion 31 and the second water-blocking portion 32 allows for initial positioning of the heating component 20 and the support structure 40, facilitating subsequent installation. Figure 1 and Figure 3As shown, the extension trend of the support part 41 is the same as the extension trend of the upper surface of the main body part 21 of the heating component 20, that is, the two are connected and continuous arc-shaped structures, which makes the connection between the heating component 20 and the support structure 40 more beautiful and has a good waterproof effect.

[0038] It should be noted that in this application, the inner side and the outer side are the inner side and the outer side relative to the center of the pot body. For example, the support part 41 is located on the inner side of the inner flange 12, that is, the support part 41 is closer to the center of the pot body than the inner flange 12. Similarly, the inner flange 12 is located on the outer side of the support part 41, that is, the inner flange 12 is farther away from the center of the pot body than the support part 41.

[0039] Specifically, the support structure 40 also includes a support body disposed above the inner flange 12, the support body and the support part 41 are connected, and the support body can support the inner pot.

[0040] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, in this embodiment, the support structure 40 is connected to the inner flange 12 by a first fastener, and the edge portion 22 is connected to the inner flange 12 by a second fastener; the above arrangement can effectively achieve the stability of the connection between the heat insulation cover 10 and the heating component 20.

[0041] In other embodiments, the support structure 40 is connected to the inner flange 12 by a third fastener, the edge portion 22 is connected to the support structure 40 by a fourth fastener, and the heat insulation cover 10 has a first clearance hole to avoid the fourth fastener; or the inner flange 12 is sandwiched between the support structure 40 and the heating component 20, the support structure 40 is connected to the heating component 20 by a fifth fastener, and the heat insulation cover 10 has a second clearance hole to avoid the fifth fastener.

[0042] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment, the heat insulation cover 10 also includes a vertical flange 13, which is disposed at the inner edge of the inner flange 12 and extends downward. The support portion 41 is located inside the vertical flange 13 and supports and cooperates with the vertical flange 13. The aforementioned vertical flange 13 can support the support portion 41, thereby making the position of the support portion 41 more stable. Furthermore, since the vertical flange 13 is disposed at the inner edge of the inner flange 12 and the support portion 41 is located inside the vertical flange 13, the waterproof position is closer to the center of the heat insulation cover 10, thereby better preventing water from entering the gap between the inner flange 12 and the heating component 20.

[0043] like Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, in this embodiment, an upwardly extending annular stop portion 221 is also provided on the edge portion 22. The annular stop portion 221 and the waterproof structure 30 are spaced apart and located on the outside of the waterproof structure 30. The support portion 41 and the vertical flange 13 both extend downward, and the vertical flange 13 is located between the waterproof structure 30 and the annular stop portion 221. The annular stop portion 221 can further achieve waterproofing. Even if a small amount of water is not effectively blocked by the waterproof structure 30, the annular stop portion 221 can perform secondary water blocking.

[0044] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment, the first water-blocking part 31 is an annular water-blocking rib, which gradually tapers in the direction from the heating component 20 to the inner flange 12. The aforementioned annular water-blocking rib is easy to process and demold, and this design enables the annular water-blocking rib to have good structural strength.

[0045] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment, an upwardly extending annular stop portion 221 is also provided on the edge portion 22. The annular stop portion 221 is spaced apart from the waterproof structure 30 and located on the outside of the waterproof structure 30. The annular stop portion 221 can further achieve waterproofing. Even if the waterproof structure 30 does not effectively achieve waterproofing, the annular stop portion 221 can still block water.

[0046] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, in this embodiment, the heating assembly 20 further includes an IH heating element 23, which is arranged around the lower part of the main body 21. The IH heating element 23 can achieve heating and the heating is more uniform, improving the user experience.

[0047] According to a second aspect of this application, a cooking appliance is provided, including a pot body assembly. The pot body assembly further includes an inner pot 50 and a support structure 40. The inner pot 50 is disposed inside a heat preservation cover 10 and above a heating element 20. The support structure 40 abuts against an inner flange 12 and supports the inner pot 50. The pot body assembly is the aforementioned pot body assembly. The support structure 40 supports the inner pot 50, thereby making the position of the inner pot 50 more stable. After the cooking appliance is heated and pressurized, the inner pot can transmit the force to the support structure 40, thereby preventing the force from acting directly on the heating element 20 and thus preventing damage to the heating element 20. At the same time, due to the waterproof structure 30, water can be prevented from entering the lower part of the heating element 20, thereby preventing damage to the heating element 20.

[0048] According to a third aspect of this application, a cooking appliance is provided, including a pot body assembly. The pot body assembly further includes an inner pot 50, which is disposed inside a heat-insulating cover 10 and above a heating element 20. The pot body assembly is the aforementioned pot body assembly. The waterproof structure 30 of the aforementioned pot body assembly can prevent water from entering between the inner flange 12 and the edge portion 22, thereby preventing water from entering below the heating element 20 and thus preventing damage to the heating element 20. Therefore, the cooking appliance having the aforementioned pot body assembly also has the aforementioned advantages.
