[0024] To better understand the technical solution of this application, the liquid heating device and health pot of this application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Unless otherwise specified, the features in the following embodiments and implementation methods can be combined with each other.

[0025] Figure 1 The figure shown is a perspective view of a liquid heating device 10 according to an embodiment of this application. Figure 2 As shown Figure 1 An exploded view of the liquid heating device 10 shown. Figure 3 As shown Figure 1 A three-dimensional schematic diagram of the housing of the liquid heating device 10 shown. Figure 4 As shown Figure 1 A three-dimensional cross-sectional view of the liquid heating device 10 shown. See also... Figures 1 to 4 As shown, this application provides a liquid heating device 10, which includes a housing 11, a sensor assembly 12, an elastic structure 13, and a liquid container 14.

[0026] The housing 11 has a receiving cavity 15. In one embodiment, the housing 11 includes an upper housing 16 and a lower housing 17, the upper housing 16 being detachably connected to the lower housing 17 by means of screws, clips, or the like. The upper housing 16 and the lower housing 17 can enclose each other to form the receiving cavity 15. In another embodiment, the upper housing 16 and the lower housing 17 can be integrally formed.

[0027] The sensor assembly 12 is movably disposed on the housing 11 and at least partially extends into the receiving cavity 15. In this embodiment, the sensor assembly 12 is movably disposed on the side wall of the housing 11. In another embodiment, the sensor assembly 12 may also be movably disposed on the bottom wall of the housing 11. The sensor assembly 12 includes a sensor 18. In this embodiment, the sensor 18 is a temperature sensor, which includes a temperature sensing end 19. The temperature sensing end 19 is disposed facing the receiving cavity 15, and the temperature sensor can detect temperature through the temperature sensing end 19.

[0028] The first end of the elastic structure 13 is connected to the housing 11, and the second end is connected to the sensor assembly 12. The elastic structure 13 is used to apply an elastic force to the sensor assembly 12 to move it into the receiving cavity 15.

[0029] The liquid container 14 can be used to hold food and / or liquids. The liquid container 14 is detachably assembled into the receiving cavity 15, allowing it to be removed for cleaning and thorough cleaning. In one embodiment, the side wall of the housing 11 has an opening 20 communicating with the receiving cavity 15. The liquid container 14 is detachably assembled into the receiving cavity 15 through the opening 20, thus facilitating side assembly. In other embodiments, the liquid container 14 can also be assembled into the receiving cavity 15 from above; this application is not limiting. When the liquid container 14 is assembled into the receiving cavity 15, the elastic structure 13 causes the sensor 18 to press against the outer surface of the liquid container 14. Specifically, the elastic structure 13 causes the temperature sensing end 19 of the temperature sensor to press against the outer surface of the liquid container 14. During the assembly of the liquid container 14 into the receiving cavity 15, the liquid container 14 pushes the sensor assembly 12 away from the receiving cavity 15, so that the elastic structure 13 is in a compressed or stretched state, thereby applying an elastic force to the sensor assembly 12 to move it into the receiving cavity 15. This results in a tighter fit between the sensor 18 and the outer surface of the liquid container 14, leading to higher measurement accuracy by the sensor 18.

[0030] In one embodiment, the liquid heating device 10 further includes a heating component 21, wherein the heating component 21 can be a heating plate. The heating component 21 is located at the bottom of the housing 11, so that the food and / or liquid contained in the liquid container 14 can be heated, which is beneficial to extracting the nutrients in the food.

[0031] In one embodiment, a container assembly section 22 is provided on one side of the liquid container 14. The container assembly section 22 may include a container heat insulation plate 23 and a container handle 24. The container heat insulation plate 23 is disposed between the liquid container 14 and the container handle 24. Thus, when the user holds the container handle 24, the container heat insulation plate 23 can block heat transfer, thereby preventing the user from being burned. When the liquid container 14 is assembled into the receiving cavity 15, the surface of the container assembly section 22 facing the liquid container 14 abuts against the side wall of the housing 11. This provides a better sealing effect and prevents steam from escaping.

[0032] Figure 5 As shown Figure 1 An enlarged view of a portion 10a of the liquid heating device 10 shown. See also Figure 5 As shown, in one embodiment, the sensor assembly 12 is rotatably disposed on the housing 11. The elastic structure 13 can be a torsion spring, thereby allowing the elastic structure 13 to apply an elastic force to the sensor assembly 12, causing it to rotate within the receiving cavity 15. In one embodiment, a rotating shaft 26 is provided on one side of the sensor assembly 12, and a rotating hole 27 is provided on the housing 11. The number of rotating shafts 26 can be one, two, three, or more, and this application is not limited thereto. The number of rotating holes 27 can correspond to the number of rotating shafts 26. The lower housing 17 may include a main body 28 and a mounting base 29 connected to the side wall of the main body 28. The mounting base 29 may be detachably connected to the side wall of the main body 28 or integrally formed with the side wall of the main body 28. The mounting base 29 is provided with a rotating hole 27. The rotating shaft 26 is connected to the rotating hole 27 to allow the sensor assembly 12 to be rotatably mounted on the housing 11. This method of rotatably mounting the sensor assembly 12 on the housing 11 is simple and highly stable.

[0033] In one embodiment, the middle portion of the elastic structure 13 is fitted onto the rotating shaft 26. This facilitates the installation of the elastic structure 13.

[0034] In one embodiment, the sensor assembly 12 further includes a sensor mounting plate 25, on which the sensor 18 is disposed. The sensor mounting plate 25 may include a protrusion 33 (e.g., a projection protruding toward the receiving cavity 15) Figure 3 As shown, the protrusion 33 of the sensor mounting plate 25 extends into the receiving cavity 15, and the sensor 18 can be disposed on the protrusion 33. The rotating shaft 26 is connected to one side of the sensor mounting plate 25. This facilitates the installation and fixation of the sensor 18, and the sensor 18 can rotate as the sensor mounting plate 25 rotates.

[0035] In one embodiment, when the liquid container 14 is assembled into the receiving cavity 15, the elastic structure 13 is in a compressed state, and the elastic structure 13 pushes against the sensor assembly 12 so that the sensor 18 presses against the outer surface of the liquid container 14. During the assembly of the liquid container 14 into the receiving cavity 15, the liquid container 14 pushes the sensor assembly 12 away from the receiving cavity 15, so that the elastic structure 13 is in a compressed state, and the elastic structure 13 can push against the sensor assembly 12 so that the sensor 18 presses against the outer surface of the liquid container 14.

[0036] In one embodiment, the elastic structure 13 is a torsion spring, which includes a first helical segment 30, a second helical segment 31, and a connecting segment 32. The first helical segment 30 and the second helical segment 31 can be sleeved onto the rotating shaft 26, thus facilitating the installation of the elastic structure 13. The first end of the first helical segment 30 is connected to the housing 11, the second end of the first helical segment 30 is connected to the first end of the connecting segment 32, the second end of the connecting segment 32 is connected to the first end of the second helical segment 31, the second end of the second helical segment 31 is connected to the housing 11, and the connecting segment 32 is connected to the sensor assembly 12. Thus, the elastic structure 13 can better press against the sensor assembly 12, allowing the sensor 18 of the sensor assembly 12 to fully press against the outer surface of the liquid container 14, resulting in better temperature sensing accuracy of the sensor assembly 12.

[0037] In one embodiment, the sensor assembly 12 includes a pressing engagement portion 34 connected to the side surface of the sensor fixing plate 25 away from the receiving cavity 15. The pressing engagement portion 34 is provided with a receiving groove 35, and a connecting segment 32 is engaged in the receiving groove 35, so that the connecting segment 32 can be connected to the sensor assembly 12, thereby facilitating the elastic structure 13 to apply an elastic force to the sensor assembly 12 to move it into the receiving cavity 15.

[0038] In another embodiment, the elastic structure 13 is a compression spring, and the housing 11 includes a housing body and a protrusion connected to the outer surface of the housing body, the protrusion being located outside the sensor assembly 12. A first end of the elastic structure 13 is connected to the protrusion, and a second end is connected to the sensor assembly 12. The elastic structure 13 can be sleeved on the outside of the sensor 18, or it can be located at any position between the protrusion and the sensor assembly 12. Thus, the elastic structure 13 can push against the sensor assembly 12, allowing the sensor 18 to press against the outer surface of the liquid container 14.

[0039] In one embodiment, when the liquid container 14 is assembled into the receiving cavity 15, the elastic structure 13 is in a stretched state. The elastic structure 13 pulls the sensor assembly 12 so that the sensor 18 presses against the outer surface of the liquid container 14. During the assembly of the liquid container 14 into the receiving cavity 15, the liquid container 14 pushes the sensor assembly 12 away from the receiving cavity 15, so that the elastic structure 13 is in a stretched state, and the elastic structure 13 can pull the sensor assembly 12 so that the sensor 18 presses against the outer surface of the liquid container 14.

[0040] In one embodiment, the sensor assembly 12 is located outside the housing 11. A first end of the elastic structure 13 is connected to the outer surface of the housing 11, and a second end of the elastic structure 13 is connected to the side surface of the sensor assembly 12 facing the housing 11. Thus, the elastic structure 13 can pull the sensor assembly 12 so that the sensor 18 presses against the outer surface of the liquid container 14.
