Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the technical field of kitchen equipment, and in particular to a cooking device. Background Technology

[0002] Most existing grilling equipment has a hot air circulation component installed on the top of the container. The hot air circulation component includes a heating element, a fan blade, and a motor that drives the fan blade to rotate. The heating element generates heat, and the fan blade rotates under the drive of the motor, blowing the heat generated by the heating element into the container to heat the food.

[0003] In pursuit of diversified equipment functions, existing technologies have made some improvements. For example, patent CN114794897B discloses a portable food grilling appliance, including a head and a cup body. The head includes a housing and a heating device disposed within the housing. A reflector is provided above the heating device, and a protective cover is provided at the lower port of the housing. The protective cover includes a fixing part and a ventilation part. The ventilation part is recessed upward to form an accommodating space. The head is placed on the cup body, and the protective cover and the cup body cooperate to form a food cooking space. The heat generated by the heating device enters the cup body through the ventilation part under the action of the reflector, heating and cooking the food in the cooking space.

[0004] In the above solution, when the heating head is inverted and used as an independent heating unit, it is completely separated from the cup body. This results in the need for twice the space when storing or carrying it, which is not conducive to overall storage and mobile use. Furthermore, when the heating head is inverted, the internal motor and high-speed rotating fan will inevitably generate vibrations, which can easily cause the heating head to shift, slip, or even tip over on a smooth countertop. This not only affects the stability of cooking but also poses a safety hazard. At the same time, the top surface of the heating head is prone to scratches and wear due to direct friction with the countertop, affecting the appearance and making it inconvenient to clean. Utility Model Content

[0005] To effectively solve the above problems, this application provides a cooking device.

[0006] This application provides a cooking device that adopts the following technical solution: A cooking device includes a head assembly with a housing and a pot assembly. The pot assembly includes a glass container and handles on both sides of the glass container. The head assembly is equipped with a hot air circulation assembly, and the housing is equipped with an upward-opening reflector. The head assembly is attached to the pot assembly, and the reflector and the glass container cooperate to form a cooking space. The lower end of the housing is provided with an outwardly folded skirt, and the opening of the reflector is sealed to the inner wall of the skirt. The top of the head assembly is provided with a placement platform so that the head assembly can be inverted, and the lower opening of the skirt faces upward and is higher than the opening of the reflector to form a placement platform for placing cooking utensils.

[0007] By adopting the above technical solution, when the head is attached to the pot body assembly, the reflector and the glass container work together to form a relatively sealed cooking space. After startup, the heating element heats up, and the fan blades rotate under the drive of the motor, blowing the heat generated by the heating element into the cooking space under the guidance of the reflector, thus achieving uniform heating of the food. At the same time, the handles are located on the left and right sides of the glass container, which not only makes it convenient to pick up the glass container, but also ensures the integrity of the core visible area of ​​the glass container, making it convenient for users to observe the coloring of the food and the cooking progress.

[0008] When the ignition head is inverted, the placement platform provides stable support for it. The skirt and reflector together form a placement platform for holding additional cooking utensils, such as baking pans, frying pans, or pots, thus expanding the appliance's cooking capabilities. Furthermore, the placement platform provides a flat support surface for the inverted ignition head, significantly lowering the center of gravity, enhancing overall stability, and preventing displacement or tipping during operation. This ensures stability and safety during cooking and effectively protects the top surface of the ignition head from scratches and wear.

[0009] Optionally, the top opening of the glass container is larger than the top outer diameter of the shell, the machine head is placed upside down in the glass container, and the skirt is attached to the mouth of the glass container.

[0010] Optionally, the lower opening of the skirt is provided with at least two oppositely arranged clearance notches, and at least part of the lower opening of the skirt is lower than the mouth of the glass container, so that part of the skirt covers the mouth of the glass container, and the grip extends outward from the clearance notches.

[0011] Optionally, the lower opening of the skirt is lower than the opening of the glass container, and the lower opening of the skirt is higher than the position of the grip.

[0012] Optionally, the opening of the reflector is provided with an outwardly extending flange, the machine head is fastened to the pot body assembly, the flange is aligned with the mouth of the glass container, and when the machine head is inverted, the skirt surrounds the flange and cooperates with the flange to form a platform for placing cooking utensils.

[0013] Optionally, the flange is provided with an annular sealing rib, the machine head is fastened to the pot body assembly, and the mouth of the glass container is located outside the sealing rib; when the machine head is inverted, the bottom edge of the cooking vessel is located outside the sealing rib.

[0014] Optionally, a flexible vibration damping structure is provided between the machine head and the cooking vessel / glass container.

[0015] Optionally, the housing includes an outer shell and an annular inner shell covering the periphery of the reflector, with the drive motor located between the annular inner shell and the outer shell; the skirt includes a first skirt located at the lower end of the annular inner shell and folded outward, and a second skirt located at the lower end of the outer shell and folded outward, with the first skirt and the second skirt sealed together.

[0016] Optionally, it also includes a control unit located inside the housing and an attitude sensor connected to the control unit, the attitude sensor being used to detect whether the head is inverted.

[0027] The present application will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. It should be noted that the embodiments are merely specific illustrations of the present application, and their purpose is to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solutions of the present application, and should not be regarded as limitations on the present application.

[0028] In the description of this application, it should be noted that the terms "center", "upper", "lower", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "inner", "outer", etc., indicating the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings, are only for the convenience of describing this application 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, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation of this application. Example 1:

[0029] This application discloses a cooking device, such as... Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the device includes a head unit 1 with a housing 11 and a pot assembly 2. The pot assembly 2 includes a glass container 21 and grips 22 on both sides of the glass container 21. The head unit 1 is equipped with a hot air circulation assembly, which includes a heating element 111, a fan blade 112, and a drive motor 113 for driving the fan blade 112 to rotate. The housing 11 is equipped with a downward-facing reflector 114. The heating element 111 and the fan blade 112 are both located inside the reflector 114, with the heating element 111 located below the fan blade 112. The head unit 1 is attached to the pot assembly 2. The reflector 114 and the glass container 21 cooperate to form a cooking space. The lower end of the housing 11 is provided with an outwardly folded skirt 115. The opening of the reflector 114 is sealed and fitted to the inner wall of the skirt 115. The top of the machine head 1 is provided with a placement platform so that the machine head 1 is inverted and the lower skirt opening of the skirt 115 faces upward and is higher than the opening of the reflector 114 to form a placement platform 3 for placing cooking utensils 31.

[0030] When the head 1 is attached to the pot assembly 2, the reflector 114 and the glass container 21 cooperate to form a relatively sealed cooking space. After startup, the heating element 111 heats up, and the fan blade 112 rotates under the drive of the drive motor 113, blowing the heat generated by the heating element 111 into the cooking space under the guidance of the reflector 114, so as to achieve uniform heating of the food. At the same time, the grip 22 is located on the left and right sides of the glass container 21, which not only makes it convenient to pick up the glass container 21, but also ensures the integrity of the core visible area of ​​the glass container 21, making it convenient for users to observe the coloring of the food and the cooking progress.

[0031] Combination Figure 4 When the head unit 1 is inverted, the placement platform provides stable support for it. The skirt 115 and the reflector 114 together form a placement platform 3, which is used to place additional cooking utensils 31, such as baking pans, frying pans, or pots, thereby expanding the cooking functionality of the device. Furthermore, the placement platform provides a flat support surface for the inverted head unit 1, significantly lowering the center of gravity, enhancing overall stability, preventing displacement or tipping during operation, ensuring stability and safety during cooking, and effectively protecting the top surface of the head unit 1 from scratches and wear.

[0032] The placement platform can be support feet located at the four corners of the top of the head unit 1. These support feet lift the inverted head unit 1 off the countertop, creating an isolation gap. This ensures that the top surface of the head unit 1 will not come into contact with or rub against the countertop, fundamentally eliminating scratches and wear, and perfectly protecting the product's appearance. Furthermore, the support feet have rubber pads on top, or the entire support foot is made of rubber. Rubber has a very high coefficient of friction, allowing the inverted head unit 1 to firmly adhere to the countertop, effectively counteracting the horizontal forces generated by internal vibrations. This ensures that the head unit 1 remains stable even at high speeds, greatly improving operational safety. When the vibrations generated by the drive motor 113 and fan blades 112 are transmitted to the head unit 1 housing 11, the rubber support feet effectively absorb and buffer this vibration energy, preventing it from being directly transmitted to the countertop. This reduces the potential long-term damage to the internal structure of the head unit 1 caused by vibrations colliding with the hard countertop, extending the equipment's lifespan. It also prevents noise amplified by vibrations on the countertop, making the equipment operate more quietly and improving the user's cooking experience. Example 2:

[0033] The difference between this embodiment and the above embodiments is that: [combination] Figure 6 and Figure 7 The outer diameter of the top of the machine head 1 is smaller than the opening diameter of the glass container 21. The machine head 1 is placed upside down in the glass container 21, and the skirt 115 is placed over the opening of the glass container 21 so that the machine head 1 is stably placed inside the glass container 21.

[0034] When the cooking head 1 is inverted and placed inside the glass container 21, the skirt 115 rests on the opening of the glass container 21, providing stable support for the cooking head 1 and ensuring its reliable placement inside the glass container 21. This achieves integrated storage of the cooking head 1 and the pot body assembly 2, effectively solving the problems of inconvenience in carrying and large space occupation caused by the separate design in the prior art, and significantly improving the overall portability and storage convenience of the equipment. At the same time, when used upside down, the top of the cooking head 1 is protected inside the glass container 21, eliminating the need to set up a flat placement surface on the top of the cooking head 1. It also avoids direct friction between the top of the cooking head 1 and the external tabletop, effectively preventing scratches and wear on the top of the cooking head 1. Furthermore, the vibration generated when the cooking head 1 is inverted is transmitted to the opening of the glass container 21 through the skirt. Since the glass container 21 itself has a large support surface and weight, it forms a stable base, which can effectively suppress vibration and prevent the cooking head 1 from shifting or tipping over during operation, ensuring the stability and safety of the cooking process.

[0035] Among them, combined Figure 2 and Figure 3 The housing 11 includes an outer shell 12 and an annular inner shell 13 covering the periphery of the reflector 114. The annular inner shell 13 is located inside the outer shell 12, and the drive motor 113 is located between the annular inner shell 13 and the outer shell 12. The skirt includes a first skirt 14 located at the lower end of the annular inner shell 13 and folded outward, and a second skirt 15 located at the lower end of the outer shell 12 and folded outward, and the first skirt 14 and the second skirt 15 are sealed together.

[0036] As a feasible implementation, the lower opening of the skirt 115 is provided with at least two opposing clearance notches 16, that is, the lower openings of the first skirt 14 and the second skirt 15 are both provided with clearance notches 16, and the clearance notches 16 are located on the left and right sides of the first skirt 14 and the second skirt 15. When the machine head 1 is attached to the pot body assembly 2, the clearance notches 16 can provide precise accommodation space for the grip 22 on the glass container 21; when the machine head 1 is inverted and stored in the glass container 21, the clearance notches 16 provide necessary clearance space for the handle of the cooking utensil 31 placed in the placement platform 3. The same structural feature ensures that the machine head 1 has different structural interference problems in the two working states. It not only ensures that the machine head 1 can fit perfectly with the glass container 21 with its own grip 22, but also expands the range of cooking utensils 31 that the machine head 1 can be compatible with in the inverted mode, allowing the use of cooking utensils 31 with side handles, which greatly improves the functional flexibility and practicality of the equipment.

[0037] When the machine head 1 is attached to the pot body assembly 2, handles 116 are provided on both the left and right sides of the second skirt 15 and above the clearance notch 16 to facilitate the removal of the machine head 1.

[0038] When the motor head 1 is attached to the glass container 21, at least part of the lower opening of the skirt 115 is lower than the opening of the glass container 21, so that part of the skirt 115 covers the opening of the glass container 21. The grip 22 is located on the left and right sides of the glass container 21 and extends outward from the clearance notch 16. The covering of the skirt 115 and the positioning of the grip 22 at the clearance notch 16 combine to achieve all-round fixation of the motor head 1 on the glass container 21, preventing lateral movement and shaking between the motor head 1 and the glass container 21. Moreover, this tight connection can effectively transmit the vibration generated by the drive motor 113 and the fan blade 112 to the glass container 21, thereby significantly suppressing operating noise and motor head 1 shaking, and ensuring a stable and safe cooking process. Furthermore, the skirt 115 extends downward and wraps around the edge of the opening of the glass container 21 when it is fastened, which can improve the sealing between the motor head 1 and the cooking container, prevent heat in the cooking space from overflowing from the connection between the motor head 1 and the glass container 21, avoid energy waste, and thus greatly improve the heating efficiency and heating effect of food in the cooking space.

[0039] Because the grip 22 extends from the clearance notch 16, it is convenient for the user to hold the entire device by the grip 22, effectively avoiding the risk of burns or equipment damage caused by accidental separation of the head 1 from the glass container 21 during the holding process, thus greatly improving safety performance. At the same time, the cooperation between the grip 22 and the clearance notch 16 can also play a positioning role. The clearance notch 16 clearly indicates the position of the grip 22 and the correct placement direction of the head 1, making it convenient for the user to accurately place the head 1 on the glass container 21, improving the convenience and accuracy of operation.

[0040] It should be noted that the grip 22 is located on the upper part of the glass container 21 and is lower than the top opening of the glass container 21. The skirt 115, which has the clearance notch 16, also extends downward to above the grip 22, so that the edge of the opening of the glass container 21 is completely covered by the skirt 115. The complete annular coverage ensures that the weight and working vibration of the head 1 can be evenly distributed to the entire circumference of the opening of the glass container 21, which can most effectively suppress vibration and potential deformation, and further improve the sealing effect. It also greatly reduces the possibility of hot air leakage from the connection between the head 1 and the glass container 21, making the heat in the cooking space more concentrated, reducing heat waste, and thus achieving faster heating speed, more uniform cooking effect and lower energy consumption. In other embodiments, the gripper 22 is located on top of the glass container 21 and is flush with the top opening of the glass container 21, so that the skirt 115 of the machine head 1 is cut off at the gripper 22 position, forming a discontinuous annular covering mechanism with a clearance notch 16, which can only cover the opening of the glass container 21 except for the gripper 2. While ensuring overall stability and sealing, the structure is simpler and the production cost is lower.

[0041] The reflector 114 has an outwardly extending flange 17 at its opening. When the head 1 is attached to the pot assembly 2, the flange 17 aligns with the opening of the glass container 21 to form an internal seal. Combined with the covering structure of the skirt 115, this achieves a double seal, which can better prevent heat leakage in the cooking space. Furthermore, the outward flange 17 structure significantly enhances the structural strength and deformation resistance of the reflector 114 opening, ensuring that the sealing interface remains stable under long-term use and alternating hot and cold conditions, thereby further improving the heating efficiency and uniformity of food in the cooking space. When the machine head 1 is inverted, the skirt 115 surrounds the flange 17 and cooperates with the flange 17 to form a platform 3 for placing the cooking vessel 31. The bottom of the cooking vessel 31 is pressed on the flange 17, and its side walls are restrained from all sides by the skirt 115, which effectively prevents the cooking vessel 31 from sliding, tilting or tipping over during frying and other operations, ensuring the safety and convenience of the extended cooking mode. A flat flange 17 can accommodate a wider variety of cooking vessel bottoms, whether it is a frying pan, a baking pan or other special-shaped vessel, as long as its bottom size matches the flange 17, it can obtain stable support.

[0042] Users simply need to flip the head 1, and the same flange 17 structure automatically switches from a sealing interface to a support platform without any additional tools or accessories. This seamless switching greatly enhances the device's functionality and user experience.

[0043] A flexible vibration damping structure is provided between the machine head 1 and the cooking vessel 31 or the glass container 21. The flexible vibration damping structure can be a rubber pad provided at the flange 17. The rubber pad can be a ring structure provided around the flange 17, or it can be distributed at intervals around the flange 17. In other embodiments, the flexible vibration damping structure can also be a rubber pad provided at the bottom of the cooking vessel 31 and a rubber pad provided at the mouth of the glass container 21.

[0044] When the machine head 1 is fastened onto the glass container 21, the glass container 21 comes into contact with the rubber pad on the flange 17. Under the weight of the machine head 1, the rubber pad undergoes elastic deformation, actively filling the tiny gaps between the flange 17 and the glass container 21 caused by uneven surfaces. This greatly reduces the leakage of hot air in the cooking space and effectively prevents hard contact between the flange 17 and the glass container 21, avoiding friction and scratches caused by frequent contact and reducing the risk of the mouth of the glass container 21 being damaged. Furthermore, the rubber pad can achieve a vibration damping effect through its own deformation, making the noise of the equipment lower and the operation more stable.

[0045] When the head 1 is inverted, the bottom of the cooking vessel 31 comes into contact with the rubber pad on the flange 17, which increases the friction between the cooking vessel 31 and the rubber pad, effectively preventing the cooking vessel 31 from sliding relative to the head 1 and ensuring the operational safety and stability of the cooking vessel 31. Through the elastic deformation of the rubber pad itself, it can actively absorb and dissipate the vibration energy transmitted upward from the head 1, keeping the cooking vessel 31 above relatively still. This not only makes the operation quieter but also provides a more stable environment for fine cooking.

[0046] In this embodiment, combined with Figure 4 and Figure 5 The bottom edge of the cooking vessel 31 is provided with a support foot 311 extending downwards, and the support foot 311 is arranged in a ring shape so that the cooking vessel 31 can be stably placed on the rubber pad on the flange 17. At this time, the heating element 111 is located directly below the cooking vessel 31, so that the bottom of the cooking vessel 31 and the heating element 111 maintain an optimal and fixed convection distance. The heat generated by the heating element 111 is transferred upwards, forming an efficient convection heat field between the reflector 114 and the bottom of the cooking vessel 31, ensuring that the heat can be absorbed by the bottom of the cooking vessel 31 over a large area and evenly, which helps to heat the food in the cooking vessel 31.

[0047] The flange 17 is provided with an annular sealing rib 171. The head 1 is attached to the pot body assembly 2. The annular sealing rib 171 is located at the bottom of the flange 17, and the opening of the glass container 21 is located outside the sealing rib 171. This can prevent high-temperature hot air from leaking from the connection between the cooking space and the flange 17 to the maximum extent, ensuring that heat is used efficiently for cooking food, avoiding energy waste, and improving the heating uniformity of food. When the head 1 is inverted, the sealing rib 171 faces upwards, and the bottom edge of the cooking vessel 31 is located outside the sealing rib 171. That is, there is a groove between the bottom of the cooking vessel 31 and the support leg 311 to accommodate the sealing rib 171, which can position the cooking vessel 31 and effectively prevent the cooking vessel 31 from sliding laterally on the smooth metal flange 17. Especially when frying or stir-frying, which requires shaking the pot, it greatly improves the safety and stability of the operation. At the same time, the top surface of the sealing rib 171 is higher than the bottom wall of the cooking vessel 31, forming an effective seal to prevent hot air from leaking out in large quantities from the interface between the bottom of the cooking vessel 31 and the flange 17, thereby improving the utilization rate of heat.

[0048] The annular sealing rib 171 and the flange 17 are integrally formed, which can further improve the connection stability between the sealing rib 171 and the flange 17. Moreover, there is no relative displacement or friction between the sealing rib 171 and the flange 17, which significantly improves the service life and reliability of the entire machine head 1.

[0049] The glass container 21 is also provided with protective plates 23 that at least partially cover the left and right side walls of the glass container 21. The grips 22 extend upward from the protective plates 23. The protective plates 23 act as a physical barrier to prevent users from directly touching the hot glass container 21. They also allow users to move the entire cooking equipment or glass container 21 by holding the grips 22, which is safe and effortless. The protective plates 23 are located in the middle of the left and right sides of the glass container 21, ensuring the visibility of the glass container 21. The bottom of the glass container 21 is also provided with a support part 24. The protective plates 23 extend upward from the support part 24, isolating the glass container 21 from the kitchen countertop and preventing the countertop from being burned.

[0050] Both the support 24 and the protective plate 23 have heat insulation gaps between them and the glass container 21. A heat insulation layer is formed between the high-temperature glass container 21 and the protective plate 23 and the support 24. Heat is transferred from the glass container 21 to the support 24 and the protective plate 23 through this gap via convection and radiation. This greatly slows down the heat transfer process, making the surface temperature of the protective plate 23 and the support 24 much lower than the actual temperature of the glass container 21, thus reducing the risk of burns to the user.

[0051] Among them, combined Figure 3 The glass container 21 has handles 25 on both its left and right sides. A gripping element 22 covers the outside of the handles 25, and the top of the gripping element 22 is open. A cover plate 26 is located at the top opening of the gripping element 22, and the cover plate 26 is positioned above the gripping element 22. A downwardly extending positioning rod is provided on the cover plate 26. The handle 25 has a positioning hole for the positioning rod to extend into, and the positioning rod is made of elastic material such as rubber and is interference-fitted with the positioning hole. An upwardly extending connecting rod is provided on the gripping element 22, and connecting holes corresponding to the connecting rod are provided on both the front and rear sides of the handle 25. During installation, the support 24 is laid flat, and the glass container 21 is placed on top of the support 24 from top to bottom, with the positioning hole engaging with the positioning post to achieve initial positioning. Then, the cover plate 26 is placed over the top opening of the gripping element 22, and the positioning rod extends into the corresponding positioning hole, covering the handle 25. The handshake 25, the grip 22, and the cover 26 all have heat-insulating gaps to reduce the risk of burns to the user when holding the grip 22.

[0052] The top of the cover plate 26 is provided with an anti-slip part 261, which greatly increases the static friction between the user and the grip 22, enabling a stable grip and control of the glass container 21, and fundamentally eliminating safety accidents caused by slipping.

[0053] The cooking device also includes a control unit located within the head unit 1 and an attitude sensor connected to the control unit. The attitude sensor detects whether the head unit 1 is inverted. The control unit controls the heating element 111 and the drive motor 113 to operate when the head unit 1 is inverted, so as to heat the food in the cooking vessel 31. Specifically, the attitude sensor can be a gyroscope, accelerometer, etc., which can accurately detect whether the head unit 1 is in a closed or inverted state, so that the control unit can automatically call the matching working program based on the sensor signal. When the head unit 1 is closed, the control unit executes the air frying program, starts the heating element 111 to heat, and controls the drive motor 113 to drive the fan blade 112 to rotate at high speed to achieve strong hot air circulation; when the head unit 1 is inverted, the control unit executes the frying program, only starts the heating element 111 to heat the bottom, or cooperates with the low-speed fan blade 112 for auxiliary heat circulation.

[0054] Users do not need to make any mode settings. They can simply change the physical shape of the head unit 1 and its function will change automatically, achieving an extremely intuitive and smooth interactive experience. It can also ensure that the fan blade 112 is only used in the mode that is actually needed. When frying in an inverted position, there is no need to drive the fan blade 112 with a high wind force, avoiding unnecessary power consumption and improving energy efficiency.

[0055] Furthermore, the cooking device also includes microswitches located between the head 1 and the cooking vessel 31, and between the head 1 and the glass container 21, which are connected to the control unit. The microswitches work in conjunction with the attitude sensor to prevent the device from running dry under no-load conditions, improving safety during abnormal use and avoiding energy waste and potential burn risks. When the head 1 is placed on the glass container 21, or when the cooking vessel 31 is placed in an inverted head 1, the microswitches are triggered, automatically sending a signal to the control unit, and the device automatically enters standby mode or directly starts a preset cooking program.

[0056] It should be noted that, in combination Figure 2 A detachable partition 4 is installed inside the glass container 21, dividing the cooking space into two independent cooking chambers. The machine head 1 can also be equipped with two sets of hot air circulation components, each corresponding to one of the two cooking chambers, allowing the hot air generated by the circulation components to heat the food in the corresponding cooking chamber. When the partition 4 is installed inside the glass container 21 to form two independent cooking chambers, two different foods or the same food can be cooked simultaneously, effectively improving cooking efficiency. Removing the partition 4 creates a large cooking space inside the glass container 21, thus meeting the cooking needs of single-variety, large-capacity foods.

[0057] A baffle 41 is provided inside the reflector 114 and between the two fan blades 112, and the baffle 41 corresponds to the partition 4, which further solves the problem of mutual interference that may exist in the dual fan blade 112 system, thereby ensuring the independence of each cooking cavity and the controllability of the cooking effect. Example 3:

[0058] The difference between this embodiment and the above embodiment is that a gap is provided between the glass container 21 and the gripper 22 at the top to form a relief groove. When the machine head 1 is fastened to the glass container 21, the skirt 115 extends downward and into the relief groove, achieving a complete coverage of the edge of the opening of the glass container 21. This not only ensures the sealing effect but also forms a more stable plug-in connection with stronger structural stability. Furthermore, the weight and working vibration of the machine head 1 can be transmitted more directly and evenly to the side wall of the glass container 21 through this skirt 115 extending into the interior, rather than just the edge of the opening, which can further suppress vibration and prevent deformation.

[0059] The skirt 115 extending into the relief groove forms an extremely narrow gap with the inner wall of the relief groove. This gap itself greatly increases the resistance to hot air leakage. Combined with the rubber pad on the flange 17 abutting against the plane of the upper edge of the glass container 21, the machine head 1 and the glass container 21 form a secondary seal, which can completely eliminate the possibility of hot air leakage from the connection, further avoid heat waste, and improve the heating efficiency of food.

[0060] Furthermore, the clearance groove and the extended skirt 115 form a natural positioning structure, eliminating the need for the clearance notch 16. When fastening the head 1, the user only needs to align the skirt 115 with the clearance groove in the correct direction to ensure that the head 1 is installed in the optimal position every time, guaranteeing a sealing and stable effect while improving the user's ease of operation.

[0061] In other embodiments, the gripper 22 is provided with a relief groove into which the skirt 115 extends. When the machine head 1 is fastened to the glass container 21, the skirt 115 extends into the relief groove on the gripper 22, forming a tight fit with the gripper 22 itself. The weight and vibration of the machine head 1 are directly transmitted to the gripper 22 through the skirt 115, which can significantly enhance the local strength and deformation resistance of the mouth of the glass container 21 at this key part of the gripper 22. Example 4:

[0062] The difference between this embodiment and the above embodiments is that: [combination] Figure 8When the machine head 1 is attached to the glass container 21, the lower opening of the skirt 115 is lower than the opening of the glass container 21, and the lower opening of the skirt 115 is higher than the position of the handle 22, or abuts against the top of the handle 22. While the skirt 115 covers the opening of the glass container 21, it does not interfere with the structure of the handle 22. This means that the skirt 115 is a complete ring that extends downward and covers the opening of the glass container 21, while the handle 22 is completely under this covering structure, which can improve the sealing effect and improve the connection stability between the machine head 1 and the glass container 21. When the machine head 1 is inverted and stored in the glass container 21, the handle of the cooking utensil 31 placed in the placement platform 3 can be placed above the skirt.

[0063] A complete circular skirt is generally simpler to mold and manufacture than a skirt 115 that requires precision machining to avoid the notch 16, which helps reduce production costs; and the notch-free skirt 115 is stronger and can withstand accidental impacts or stress, improving the overall durability of the product. Example 5:

[0064] The difference between this embodiment and the previous embodiment is that: both the left and right sides of the machine head 1 are provided with outwardly protruding silicone blocks, which replace the original handles, and the grip 22 is provided with mounting grooves that mate with the silicone blocks. When the machine head 1 is fastened to the glass container 21, the skirt 115 covers the opening of the glass container 21, and the silicone blocks on the machine head 1 are located at the mounting grooves, which can enhance the stability between the machine head 1 and the glass container 21, and also play a shock-absorbing role based on the elasticity of the silicone blocks themselves.

[0065] When the head unit 1 is inverted and housed inside the glass container 21, the silicone block on the head unit 1 remains in the corresponding mounting slot, increasing the friction between the head unit 1 and the glass container 21 and ensuring the stability of the head unit 1. Through the elastic deformation of the silicone block itself, it can actively absorb and dissipate the vibration energy generated from the head unit 1, keeping the glass container 21 relatively still. This not only makes the operation quieter but also provides a more stable environment for fine cooking.

[0066] The above are all preferred embodiments of this application, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, all equivalent changes made in accordance with the structure, shape and principle of this application should be covered within the scope of protection of this application.
