[0023] The structure of this utility model will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0024] Refer to Figure 1 to Figure 4 In this embodiment, the kitchen scale 100 is equipped with a power supply. The kitchen scale 100 includes a housing assembly 110, a weighing sensor 120, and a weighing main board 130. The weighing sensor 120 and the weighing main board 130 are disposed within the housing assembly 110. In this embodiment, the housing assembly 110 includes a bottom shell 111 and a panel 112. The panel 112 is disposed on the bottom shell 111, and a space for accommodating the weighing sensor 120 and the weighing main board 130 is formed between the panel 112 and the bottom shell 111. The panel 112 may be made of a transparent material. The weighing sensor 120 and the weighing main board 130 are electrically connected. The side wall of the housing assembly 110 is provided with a storage space 113.

[0025] The thermometer 200 includes a main body 210 and a probe 220. The main body 210 contains a thermometer main board 230. The probe 220 is electrically connected to the thermometer main board 230 to transmit the temperature information detected by the probe 220 to the thermometer main board 230. The thermometer 200 can be stored in the storage space 113 and can be taken out from the storage space 113.

[0026] The charging connector 300 includes a connector 310 and an interface 320, which are located on the corresponding housing assembly 110 and main body 210. The connector 310 and interface 320 are electrically connected to the corresponding weighing main board 130 and thermometer main board 230, respectively, to charge the thermometer 200 using the power of the kitchen scale 100. The kitchen appliance of this invention has a storage space 113 on the housing assembly 110 of the kitchen scale 100, in which the thermometer 200 can be stored. The charging connector 300 allows the thermometer 200 to be charged using the power of the kitchen scale 100, thus eliminating the need for a power supply mechanism inside the thermometer 200. That is, there is no need to install a battery in the thermometer 200 or to install an automatic power generation mechanism inside the thermometer 200, which reduces manufacturing costs and facilitates the storage of the thermometer 200.

[0027] It is understandable that the charging connector 300 can adopt a structure commonly used in the prior art, and its specific connection with the kitchen scale 100 or thermometer 200 is obvious in the relevant fields and will not be described in detail here.

[0028] Reference Figure 3 In some embodiments, the power source for the kitchen scale 100 is a power generation component 400, which includes a generator 410 and a drive component 420. The generator 410 is housed within the housing component 110, and the drive component 420 is connected to the generator 410. The weighing main board 130 is equipped with an energy storage element (such as a capacitor). The generator 410 is connected to the energy storage element of the weighing main board 130, and the drive component 420 drives the generator 410 to generate electrical energy. The electrical energy of the generator 410 is stored in the energy storage element. While supplying power to the kitchen scale 100, the thermometer 200 can also be charged through the charging connector 300. When the thermometer 200 has sufficient power, it can be removed from the kitchen scale 100 to measure the temperature of food. If the power is insufficient during the measurement process, the thermometer 200 can be placed back into the storage space 113, and the power generation component 400 can be used to charge the kitchen scale 100 and the thermometer 200 to continue using the thermometer 200. In this embodiment, neither the kitchen scale 100 nor the thermometer 200 is powered by batteries, which helps to save resources and protect the environment.

[0029] Reference Figure 3In some embodiments, the drive assembly 420 includes a knob 421 and a gear ring disposed on the knob 421. The knob 421 is disposed on the housing assembly 110, and the gear ring meshes with the input gear of the generator 410. The gear ring can be an internal gear ring disposed on the inner side wall of the knob 421 or an external gear ring disposed on the outer side wall of the knob 421. Rotating the knob 421 causes the gear ring to rotate, which in turn drives the gear assembly of the generator 410 to rotate, thereby causing the generator 410 to generate electricity.

[0030] It is understood that the drive component 420 can also adopt other structural forms, such as button drive, pull cord drive, spring drive, etc. The above drive structures are all described in the prior art and will not be described in detail here.

[0031] Reference Figure 3 In some embodiments, the knob 421 is provided with a weighing display window 115, the weighing main board 130 is connected to a weighing display screen 140, the weighing display screen 140 is located on the weighing display window 115, the weighing sensor 120 acquires the weight information of the food, and converts the weight information of the food into digital information through the weighing main board 130 and displays it on the weighing display screen 140.

[0032] It is understood that the weighing display window 115 can also be set on the housing assembly 110, and the weighing display screen 140 is set inside the weighing display window 115 on the housing assembly 110, which will not be described in detail here.

[0033] Reference Figure 3 In some embodiments, the main body 210 is provided with a first temperature display window 211, the thermometer main board 230 is connected to a temperature display screen 240, the temperature display screen 240 is located in the first temperature display window 211, the temperature information detected by the probe 220 is transmitted to the thermometer main board 230, and converted into digital information by the thermometer main board 230 and displayed on the temperature display screen 240.

[0034] Reference Figure 3 In some embodiments, the housing assembly 110 is provided with a second temperature display window 114, which is connected to the storage space 113. When the thermometer 200 is stored in the storage space 113, the first temperature display window and the second temperature display window are opposite each other. Through the second temperature display window 114, the ambient temperature displayed on the thermometer 200 can also be observed when the thermometer 200 is in the storage state after being charged.

[0035] Refer to Figure 2. Figure 3 , Figure 4In some embodiments, the interface 320 or connector 310 on the housing assembly 110 is located on the side wall of the storage space 113. Thus, the thermometer 200 can be automatically charged by the power of the kitchen scale 100 when it is stored, eliminating the charging time after the thermometer 200 is taken out and improving the efficiency of the kitchen components and utensils.

[0036] Reference Figure 4 In some embodiments, the charging connector 300 is a USB structure, and the thermometer 200 can be stored in the storage space 113 through the USB structure. The USB structure is both a power supply channel for the kitchen scale 100 and the thermometer 200, and can also serve as a limiting function to confine the thermometer 200 within the storage space 113. This can save the need for a limiting structure for placing the thermometer 200 in the storage space 113, reduce the number of components, save on the use of manufacturing materials, and thus reduce the manufacturing cost of kitchen components and utensils.

[0037] It is understandable that the thermometer 200 can also be limited to a structure such as an elastic buckle within the storage space 113, and this is not limited here.

[0038] Refer to Figure 2. Figure 3 , Figure 4 In some embodiments, the main body 210 is provided with a button 250, which is arranged opposite to the functional elements on the thermometer main board 230. The button 250 can control the thermometer 200 to turn on and off, as well as the conversion of units, etc.

[0039] It should be noted that in the above embodiments, the electrical energy of the kitchen scale 100 is provided by the power generation component 400. In some embodiments, the electrical energy of the kitchen scale 100 can also be provided by a battery, which is not limited here.

[0040] Reference Figure 5 , Figure 6 , Figure 7 In this embodiment, the thermometer 200 is equipped with a power supply, and in this embodiment, the power supply is a power generation component 400, which is connected to an energy storage element on the thermometer main board 230.

[0041] Specifically, a storage space 113 is provided on the side wall of the kitchen scale 100, in which the thermometer 200 can be stored. The power generation component 400 includes a generator 410 and a drive component 420. The drive component 420 and the generator 410 are connected by a drive. The thermometer main board is provided with energy storage elements (such as capacitors, fast batteries, etc.). The generator 410 is connected to the energy storage elements of the thermometer main board 230. The drive component 420 drives the generator 410 to generate electrical energy. The electrical energy of the generator 410 is stored in the energy storage elements. While supplying the thermometer 200, it can also charge the kitchen scale 100 through the charging connector. When the kitchen scale has sufficient power, it can be used to weigh food and measure the temperature of food using the thermometer 200. If the power is insufficient during the weighing process, the thermometer 200 can be placed in the storage space 113, and the power generation component 400 can be used to charge the kitchen scale 100 and the thermometer 200, so that the kitchen scale 100 and the thermometer 200 can continue to be used. In this embodiment, neither the kitchen scale 100 nor the thermometer 200 is powered by batteries, which helps to save resources and protect the environment.

[0042] Reference Figure 3 In some embodiments, the drive assembly 420 includes a knob 421 and a gear ring disposed on the knob 421, the gear ring meshing with the input gear of the generator 410. The gear ring can be an internal gear ring disposed on the inner side wall of the knob 421 or an external gear ring disposed on the outer side wall of the knob 421. Rotating the knob 421 causes the gear ring to rotate, which in turn drives the gear assembly of the generator 410 to rotate, thereby causing the generator 410 to generate electricity.

[0043] In this embodiment, the kitchen appliance of the present invention has a storage space 113 on the housing assembly 110 of the kitchen scale 100. The thermometer 200 can be stored in the storage space 113, and the kitchen scale 100 can be charged by the power of the thermometer 200 through the charging connector 300. Therefore, there is no need to set up a power supply mechanism in the kitchen scale 100. That is, there is no need to install a battery in the thermometer 200, nor is there a need to set up an automatic power generation mechanism in the thermometer 200. This can reduce the manufacturing cost and facilitate the storage of the thermometer 200.

[0044] Reference Figure 6 The interface 320 is located on the side wall of the thermometer, and the connector 310 is located on the side wall of the storage space 113. Thus, the thermometer 200 can charge the kitchen scale 100 when it is in the storage state.

[0045] Reference Figure 6In some embodiments, the charging connector 300 is a USB structure, and the thermometer 200 can be stored in the storage space 113 through the USB structure. The USB structure is both a power supply channel for the kitchen scale 100 and the thermometer 200, and can also serve as a limiting function to confine the thermometer 200 within the storage space 113. This can save the need for a limiting structure for placing the thermometer 200 in the storage space 113, reduce the number of components, save on the use of manufacturing materials, and thus reduce the manufacturing cost of kitchen components and utensils.

[0046] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined in any way. For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.
