[0033] As shown in Figs. 1 and 2, the cover assembly of a cooking appliance according to the embodiment of the present application can be applied to cooking appliances such as a pressure cooker, a cooking machine, and an electric rice cooker.

[0034] In conventional cooking appliances, the heating device is often integrated into the lid in order to heat food three-dimensionally and evenly, sufficiently stimulate the Maillard reaction, and make the food more flavorful. In such appliances, a coil is provided on the top lid, and the food is heated by the magnetic force generated when an electric current flows through the coil, thereby providing the cooking appliance with sufficient heat and improving the cooking effect on the food.

[0035] In conventional technology, when a coil is installed inside the lid of a cooking appliance, the steam valve of the rice cooker needs to be attached externally, which not only makes the structure of the entire lid complex and large in volume, but also reduces the effectiveness of the steam valve, affecting the cooking effect of the cooking appliance.

[0036] For this reason, in the embodiment of the present application, the steam valve 2 and the lid assembly 100 of the heating coil winding 32 are simultaneously installed inside, and the installation of the coil winding 32 allows the upper part of the food to be heated evenly, the food to be heated three-dimensionally, the Maillard reaction to be fully stimulated, the food to be more flavorful, and sufficient heat power to the cooking appliance, so that the cooking effect of the cooking appliance on the food is better, and since the steam valve 2 is built-in, the function and effect of the steam valve 2 is better, the integration degree of the lid assembly 100 is higher, and the overall volume of the cooking appliance can be installed in a smaller volume.

[0037] Hereinafter, a lid assembly 100 for a cooking appliance according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS.

[0038] A lid assembly 100 for a cooking appliance according to an embodiment of the present application may include an inner lid 1 , a steam valve 2 and a coil assembly 3 .

[0039] A first mounting space 11 is provided in the inner lid 1, which can be used to install the coil assembly 3; at least a portion of the steam valve 2 is extended into the inner lid 1, that is, the steam valve 2 and the coil assembly 3 are arranged in the same horizontal plane; the steam valve 2 and the coil assembly 3 can be simultaneously integrated and installed inside the lid assembly 100; and the steam valve 2 is installed in parallel with the coil assembly 3, so that the two do not interfere with each other.

[0040] Furthermore, the coil assembly 3 includes a coil holder 31 and a coil winding 32, and when electricity is applied to the coil winding 32, food can be heated. The coil holder 31 is fixed to the inner lid 1 and is located in the first mounting space 11, and the coil winding 32 is provided in the coil holder 31. The coil holder 31 can support and fix the coil winding 32, so that the coil winding 32 can be stably provided in the first mounting space 11, and the stability of the overall structure and winding shape of the coil winding 32 can be ensured, and the coil winding 32 can stably form a magnetic field to heat food.

[0041] Since at least a portion of the steam valve 2 extends into the inner lid 1 and the center of the coil assembly 3 is not located at the same position as the center of the inner lid 1, when the coil winding 32 is wound in a circle, the heating center of the coil is not located at the center and is limited by the area of ​​the first mounting space 11, and the area of ​​the coil winding 32 that can be installed in the first mounting space 11 is reduced.

[0042] In order to allow the coil assembly 3 to heat food better, the coil winding 32 is wound non-circularly, which not only allows the heat generated by the coil to be more concentrated at the central position, maximizes the temperature at the central portion, and improves the cooking effect of the food therein, but also allows the coil winding 32 to fully utilize the space in the first mounting space 11, so that the arrangement area of ​​the coil winding 32 can be made larger, and more heat is generated after the coil winding 32 is energized, which can fully stimulate the Maillard reaction and improve the cooking effect of the cooking appliance.

[0043] Referring to FIG. 2, since the coil winding 32 is wound in an oval shape, the heat generated by the coil winding 32 can be concentrated at the central position, the temperature at the central portion can be maximized, and the cooking effect of the food there can be improved; in addition, the coil winding 32 can also fully utilize the space within the first mounting space 11, so that more heat is generated after the coil winding 32 is energized, which can fully stimulate the Maillard reaction and improve the cooking effect of the cooking appliance.

[0044] As described above, the steam valve 2 and the coil winding 32 are simultaneously provided inside the cover assembly 100, the degree of integration is higher, the overall structure is compact, and the steam valve 2 and the coil winding 32 do not interfere with each other.

[0045] The cooker cover assembly 100 according to the embodiment of the present application has a higher integration level because the steam valve 2 of the cooker cover assembly 100 is built-in, and the coil winding 32 can heat food efficiently, sufficiently stimulating the Maillard reaction, and improving the cooking effect of the cooker.

[0046] In some embodiments, since it is also necessary to provide a temperature sensor 5 in the center portion of the inner lid 1, the center portion of the coil winding 32, which is wound in an oval shape, can provide sufficient space for arranging the temperature sensor 5.

[0047] As shown in FIG. 2, the extension direction of the swivel axis of the inner cover 1 is the direction shown by AB in FIG. 2, the inner cover 1 has a first direction (the direction shown by CD in FIG. 2) perpendicular to the extension direction of the swivel axis, and at least a part of the steam valve 2 is extended into the inner cover 1 and arranged on one side of the inner cover 1 in the first direction, so that the length of the first mounting space 11 in the extension direction of the swivel axis is longer than the width of the first mounting space 11 in the first direction, and the length of the coil winding 32 in the extension direction along the swivel axis is greater than the width along the first direction, and the shape of the coil winding 32 is made to match the shape of the first mounting space 11, so that the heat generated by the coil is more concentrated at the central position, the temperature at the center is maximized, and the cooking effect of the food here is improved; and the coil winding 32 can also fully utilize the space in the first mounting space 11, so that more heat is generated after the coil winding 32 is energized, which fully stimulates the Maillard reaction, and the cooking effect of the cooking appliance is improved.

[0048] 1 and 5, the coil winding 32 includes an upper layer winding 321 and a lower layer winding 322, and the upper layer winding 321 is located above the lower layer winding 322. By winding the upper and lower two layers of windings, the coil assembly 3 has better electromagnetic matching parameters and achieves a better electromagnetic heating effect.

[0049] Referring to FIG. 1, the number of turns of the upper winding 321 is different from the number of turns of the lower winding 322, so that the upper winding 321 and the lower winding 322 form an electromagnetic field with higher energy, so as to improve the heating effect.

[0050] In some embodiments, the steam valve 2 is located outside the first mounting space 11 and arranged close to the coil assembly 3, thereby not only making the overall structure of the cover assembly 100 compact and reducing the volume of the entire cover assembly 100, but also allowing the coil assembly 3 to be arranged large to ensure the heating effect.

[0051] According to some embodiments of the present application, the central axis of the coil winding 32 does not overlap with the center of the lid assembly 100. In some embodiments, the shape of the inner pot (not shown) is circular, so that the heating effect of the cooking appliance is uniform; see Fig. 2 and Fig. 3, both the steam valve 2 and the coil assembly 3 are provided above the inner pot, that is, both the first mounting space 11 for mounting the steam valve 2 and the coil assembly 3 are provided in the part of the inner lid 1 corresponding to the inner pot, and the steam valve 2 is provided outside the first mounting space 11 of the inner lid 1 and extended into the inner lid 1, so that the steam valve 2 occupies a part of the circular part of the inner lid 1 corresponding to the inner pot, and in order to arrange the first mounting space 11 large, the first mounting space 11 is arranged in the part of the inner lid 1 corresponding to the inner pot other than the arrangement position of the steam valve 2, so that the shape of the first mounting space 11 is formed as a large divided circle.

[0052] As a result, the first mounting space 11 includes a first inner wall 111 and a second inner wall 112, the first inner wall 111 is formed as an arc, the second inner wall 112 is formed as a plane, the second inner wall 112 is connected to both ends of the first inner wall 111, and the second inner wall 112 is installed adjacent to the steam valve 2, thereby increasing the installation area of ​​the first mounting space 11 and further increasing the arrangement area of ​​the coil winding 32 of the coil assembly 3 in the first mounting space 11, so that more heat is generated after the coil winding 32 is energized, which can fully stimulate the Maillard reaction, and the cooking effect of the cooking appliance is better.

[0053] Furthermore, the outer peripheral wall of the coil holder 31 is installed in the same shape as the first mounting space 11, and the coil holder 31 and the outer peripheral wall of the first mounting space 11 can be installed in close contact with each other, so that the installation stability of the coil holder 31 is better, the coil holder 31 can be arranged within the entire first mounting space 11, and the arrangement area of ​​the coil winding 32 within the first mounting space 11 can be increased, so that more heat is generated after electricity is passed through the coil winding 32, which fully stimulates the Maillard reaction, and the cooking effect of the cooking appliance is better.

[0054] As shown in FIG. 5, the coil holder 31 includes an upper holder 311 and a lower holder 312, and the upper holder 311 and the lower holder 312 are fixed relative to each other to define a storage space 313 for the coil winding 32. The coil winding 32 is disposed in the storage space 313 for the coil winding 32 defined by the upper holder 311 and the lower holder 312. The upper holder 311 and the lower holder 312 are used to support and fix the coil winding 32, so that the coil winding 32 can be stably installed in the first mounting space 11, and the stability of the overall structure and winding shape of the coil winding 32 can be ensured, and the coil winding 32 can stably form a magnetic field to achieve heating.

[0055] Referring to FIG. 5 , the upper layer holder 311 and / or the lower layer holder 312 are provided with radiation avoidance spaces 314 spaced apart corresponding to the coil winding 32. When electricity is applied to the coil winding 32, a magnetic field is formed, and magnetic induction lines can pass through the lower radiation avoidance space 314 and heat up, thereby ensuring the heating effect of the coil winding 32.

[0056] As shown in FIG. 5 , the upper holder 311 and / or the lower holder 312 are provided with a plurality of radiating ribs 315, which stably fix and support the coil winding 32 and prevent the shape and structure of the coil winding 32 from being damaged. The adjacent radiating ribs 315 define a radiation avoidance space 314, which not only allows radiation to be better transmitted downward, but also has a certain heat dissipation effect.

[0057] As shown in Figures 2 and 5, in the radial direction toward the center of the inner lid 1, the width of the outer end of the radial rib 315 is larger than the width of the inner end, which reinforces the structural strength of the upper layer holder 311 and the lower layer holder 312 while further improving the heat dissipation effect of the upper layer holder 311 and the lower layer holder 312.

[0058] According to some embodiments of the present application, the difference between the maximum width and the minimum width of the radial rib 315 ranges from 4.5 mm to 20 mm, which reinforces the structural strength of the upper holder 311 and the lower holder 312 while further improving the heat dissipation effect between the upper holder 311 and the lower holder 312.

[0059] As shown in FIG. 5 , annular convex ribs 316 are provided on the upper layer holder 311 and / or the lower layer holder 312, which can reinforce the structural strength of the upper layer holder 311 and / or the lower layer holder 312 and more stably install the coil winding 32; on the other hand, the coil winding 32 is fitted onto the convex ribs 316, and the shape of the coil winding 32 surrounded by the outside of the convex ribs 316 is controlled by the outer contour of the convex ribs 316; and the installation of the convex ribs 316 allows the coil winding 32 to be distributed evenly and ensures the structural stability of the coil winding 32.

[0060] In some embodiments, the upper layer winding 321 and the lower layer winding 322 are simultaneously surrounded and arranged on the convex rib 316, so that the innermost winding diameters of the upper layer winding 321 and the lower layer winding 322 are the same, so that the coil assembly 3 has better electromagnetic matching parameters and can achieve a better electromagnetic heating effect.

[0061] The heated lid 4 is removably attached to the inner lid 1 and is located below the coil assembly 3. When electricity is passed through the coil winding 32, the heated lid 4 is heated, and when electricity is passed through the coil winding 32, a magnetic field is formed and the heated lid 4 can be heated in the magnetic field.

[0062] In some embodiments, a second mounting space is provided in the inner lid 1, and the second mounting space is located on one side of the first mounting space 11, and the steam valve 2 is provided in the heating lid 4 and in the second mounting space, and extends into the inside of the inner lid 1 so as to discharge steam to the outside.

[0063] Referring to Figures 3 and 6, a groove 41 is provided on the upper surface of the heating lid 4, and the bottom of the groove 41 protrudes in the direction approaching the inner pot so that the water vapor generated during the food cooking process gathers at the bottom of the groove 41, and the orthogonal projection of the coil winding 32 on the heating lid 4 covers the groove 41, so that the heating lid 4 at the groove 41 can obtain sufficient heat, reduce the condensed water at the bottom of the groove 41, and prevent the condensed water from dripping onto the food and affecting the texture of the food, so as to ensure the cooking effect of the food.

[0064] As shown in FIG. 4, the cooking appliance cover assembly 100 further includes a glass partition plate 12, which is located in the first mounting space and below the coil assembly 3. The radiation generated from the coil winding 32 can be radiated to the heating plate through the glass partition plate 12, and the heat generated from the heating cover 4 is not easily transmitted to the coil assembly 3 through the glass, thereby improving the heat utilization rate.

[0065] As shown in Figures 1 and 3, the cooking appliance lid assembly 100 further includes a temperature sensor 5, which is fixed to the coil holder 31 and located in the inner ring space 33 of the coil winding 32, and the temperature sensor 5 is provided at the center position of the inner lid 1 so as to detect the temperature at the center position of the heating lid 4.

[0066] According to some embodiments of the present application, the temperature sensor 5 is installed offset from the center of the coil winding 32 to simultaneously detect the position temperature at the center of the heating lid 4 and the steam temperature, and make full use of the winding space of the coil holder 31.

[0067] Hereinafter, a lid assembly 100 for a cooking appliance according to another embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS.

[0068] The lid assembly 100 of the cooking appliance according to the embodiment of the present application may include an inner lid 1, a steam valve 2, a coil assembly 3 and a heating lid 4.

[0069] A first mounting space 11 is provided in the inner cover 1, and the first mounting space 11 can be used to install the coil assembly 3. The steam valve 2 is provided in the inner cover 1 and is located on one side of the first mounting space 11, that is, the steam valve 2 and the coil assembly 3 are provided in the same horizontal plane, and the steam valve 2 and the coil assembly 3 can be simultaneously integrated and installed inside the cover assembly 100, and the steam valve 2 is installed in parallel with the coil assembly 3, so that the two do not interfere with each other.

[0070] As shown in Figures 1 and 3, the heating lid 4 is provided on the inner lid 1 and located below the coil assembly 3. When the coil winding 32 is energized, the heating lid 4 is heated, and both the steam valve 2 and the coil assembly 3 are provided above the inner pot, i.e., both the first mounting space 11 for mounting the steam valve 2 and the coil assembly 3 are provided in the part corresponding to the inner pot in the lid body assembly 100. In some embodiments, the shape of the projection of the inner pot on a horizontal plane is circular or approximately circular, and at least a part of the steam valve 2 is extended into the inner lid 1 and provided above the inner pot, so that the steam valve 2 occupies a part of the circular part corresponding to the inner pot in the inner lid 1. In order to arrange the first mounting space 11 large, the first mounting space 11 is arranged in the part corresponding to the inner pot other than the corresponding position of the steam valve 2 in the inner lid 1, and therefore the shape of the first mounting space 11 is formed as the shape of a large divided circle.

[0071] As a result, the first mounting space 11 includes a first inner wall 111 and a second inner wall 112, the first inner wall 111 is formed as an arc, the second inner wall 112 is formed as a plane, the second inner wall 112 is connected to both ends of the first inner wall 111, and the second inner wall 112 is installed adjacent to the steam valve 2, thereby increasing the installation area of ​​the first mounting space 11 and further increasing the arrangement area of ​​the coil winding 32 of the coil assembly 3 in the first mounting space 11, so that more heat is generated after the coil winding 32 is energized, which can fully stimulate the Maillard reaction, and the cooking effect of the cooking appliance is better.

[0072] Furthermore, the coil assembly 3 includes a coil holder 31 and a coil winding 32. When electricity is applied to the coil winding 32, a magnetic field is formed to heat the heating lid 4 in the magnetic field. The coil holder 31 is fixed to the inner lid 1 and is located in the first mounting space 11. The coil winding 32 is provided in the coil holder 31. The coil holder 31 can support and fix the coil winding 32. The coil winding 32 can be stably provided in the first mounting space 11. Furthermore, the stability of the overall structure and winding shape of the coil winding 32 can be ensured. The coil winding 32 can stably form a magnetic field to heat the heating lid 4.

[0073] The outer peripheral wall of the coil holder 31 is installed in the same shape as the first mounting space 11, and the coil holder 31 and the outer peripheral wall of the first mounting space 11 can be installed in close contact with each other, which improves the installation stability of the coil holder 31 and allows the coil holder 31 to be arranged within the entire first mounting space 11. Furthermore, the arrangement area of ​​the coil winding 32 within the first mounting space 11 can be increased, so that more heat is generated after electricity is passed through the coil winding 32, which fully stimulates the Maillard reaction, and improves the cooking effect of the cooking appliance.

[0074] As described above, the steam valve 2 and the coil winding 32 are simultaneously installed inside the cover assembly 100, which results in a higher degree of integration and a compact overall structure. In addition, the steam valve 2 and the coil winding 32 do not interfere with each other. At the same time, the coil winding 32 is installed to avoid the steam valve 2, and the first mounting space 11 is large, which allows the arrangement area of ​​the coil winding 32 in the first mounting space 11 to be increased, and more heat is generated after the coil winding 32 is energized, which fully stimulates the Maillard reaction and improves the cooking effect of the cooking appliance.

[0075] The cooker cover assembly 100 according to the embodiment of the present application has a higher integration level because the steam valve 2 of the cooker cover assembly 100 is built-in, and the coil winding 32 can heat food efficiently, sufficiently stimulating the Maillard reaction, and improving the cooking effect of the cooker.

[0076] As shown in FIG. 5 , the coil holder 31 includes an upper holder 311 and a lower holder 312, and the upper holder 311 and the lower holder 312 are fixed relative to each other to define a storage space 313 for the coil winding 32. The coil winding 32 is disposed in the storage space 313 for the coil winding 32 defined by the upper holder 311 and the lower holder 312. The upper holder 311 and the lower holder 312 are used to support and fix the coil winding 32, so that the coil winding 32 can be stably installed in the first mounting space 11, and the stability of the overall structure and winding shape of the coil winding 32 can be ensured, so that the coil winding 32 stably forms a magnetic field to heat the heating cover 4.

[0077] Referring to FIG. 5 , the upper layer holder 311 and / or the lower layer holder 312 are provided with radiation avoidance spaces 314 spaced apart corresponding to the coil winding 32. When electricity is applied to the coil winding 32, a magnetic field is formed, and magnetic induction lines can pass through the lower radiation avoidance space 314 to heat the heating lid 4, thereby ensuring the heating effect of the coil winding 32.

[0078] As shown in FIG. 5 , the upper holder 311 and / or the lower holder 312 are provided with a plurality of radiating ribs 315, which stably fix and support the coil winding 32 and prevent the shape and structure of the coil winding 32 from being destroyed.

[0079] As shown in Figures 2 and 5, in the radial direction toward the center of the inner lid 1, the width of the outer end of the radial rib 315 is larger than the width of the inner end, which reinforces the structural strength of the upper layer holder 311 and the lower layer holder 312 while further improving the heat dissipation effect of the upper layer holder 311 and the lower layer holder 312.

[0080] According to some embodiments of the present application, the difference between the maximum width and the minimum width of the radial rib 315 ranges from 4.5 mm to 20 mm, which reinforces the structural strength of the upper holder 311 and the lower holder 312 while further improving the heat dissipation effect between the upper holder 311 and the lower holder 312.

[0081] As shown in FIG. 5 , annular convex ribs 316 are provided on the upper layer holder 311 and / or the lower layer holder 312, which can reinforce the structural strength of the upper layer holder 311 and / or the lower layer holder 312 and more stably install the coil winding 32; on the other hand, the coil winding 32 is fitted onto the convex ribs 316, and the shape of the coil winding 32 surrounded by the outside of the convex ribs 316 is controlled by the outer contour of the convex ribs 316; and the installation of the convex ribs 316 allows the coil winding 32 to be distributed evenly and ensures the structural stability of the coil winding 32.

[0082] In some embodiments, the upper layer winding 321 and the lower layer winding 322 are simultaneously surrounded and arranged on the convex rib 316, so that the innermost winding diameters of the upper layer winding 321 and the lower layer winding 322 are the same, so that the coil assembly 3 has better electromagnetic matching parameters and can achieve a better electromagnetic heating effect.

[0083] In addition, the embodiments and features of the embodiments of the present application can be combined with each other as long as they do not conflict with each other.

[0084] Hereinafter, a specific embodiment of a lid assembly 100 for a cooking appliance will be described with reference to the drawings.

[0085] 1 and 3, the cover assembly 100 includes a panel (not shown), a magnetic barrier 6, a thermostat assembly 50, a coil assembly 3, an inner cover 1, and a movable cover plate assembly 40. The panel is located on the top of the entire cover assembly 100 structure, and a user can control the operating state of the cooking appliance through the panel, and the magnetic barrier 6 is provided between the panel and the coil assembly 3 to block radiation from the coil assembly 3 and prevent the panel from being heated by the coil assembly 3, and ensure the operating stability of the electrical components integrated in the panel.

[0086] The movable cover plate assembly 40 is disposed under the cover body assembly 100 and between the inner pot and the inner lid 1 of the cooking appliance, and a heating cover 4 is disposed on the movable cover plate assembly 40, and the heating cover 4 is located under the coil assembly 3 disposed on the inner lid 1, and the heating cover 4 is heated by the coil assembly 3 to heat the ingredients in the inner pot. The heating cover 4 is provided with a protrusion structure and a groove 41 structure, and the protrusion structure and the groove 41 structure are utilized to increase the area receiving heat radiation, so that the heating cover 4 obtains sufficient heat.

[0087] Referring to Figure 2, the inner lid 1 has a square shape, and the portion of the square inner lid 1 corresponding to the inner pot of the cooking appliance is circular. A steam valve 2 is provided on one side of the inner lid 1, and at least a portion of the steam valve 2 is located in the circular portion of the inner lid 1 corresponding to the inner pot of the cooking appliance.

[0088] The inner lid 1 is further provided with a first mounting space 11, the steam valve 2 is located on one side of the first mounting space 11, and the first mounting space 11 is also disposed in a circular portion of the inner lid 1 corresponding to the inner pot of the cooking appliance.

[0089] Since the steam valve 2 occupies a part of the circular portion of the inner lid 1 corresponding to the inner pot, the shape of the first mounting space 11 is formed as the shape of a large divided circle, i.e., the circular portion of the inner lid 1 corresponding to the inner pot is divided into two parts by a single chord, the steam valve 2 is provided in the smaller divided circle part, and the first mounting space 11 is provided in the larger divided circle part.

[0090] As a result, the first mounting space 11 includes a first inner wall 111 and a second inner wall 112, the first inner wall 111 is formed as an arc, the second inner wall 112 is formed as a plane, the second inner wall 112 is connected to both ends of the first inner wall 111, and the second inner wall 112 is installed in close proximity to the steam valve 2.

[0091] A temperature regulator assembly 50, a coil assembly 3 and a glass partition plate 12 are provided in the first mounting space 11. As shown in FIG. 5 , the coil assembly 3 includes a coil holder 31 and a coil winding 32. The temperature regulator assembly 50 is fixed to the coil holder 31 and positioned in the inner ring space 33 of the coil winding 32. A temperature control valve and a temperature sensor 5 are integrated in the temperature regulator assembly 50. The temperature sensor 5 is provided at the center position of the inner lid 1 so as to detect the temperature at the center position of the heating lid 4.

[0092] The outer peripheral wall of the coil holder 31 is installed in the same shape as the first mounting space 11, and the coil holder 31 and the outer peripheral wall of the first mounting space 11 can be installed in close contact with each other, which improves the installation stability of the coil holder 31 and allows the coil holder 31 to be arranged within the entire first mounting space 11. Furthermore, the arrangement area of ​​the coil winding 32 within the first mounting space 11 can be increased, so that more heat is generated after electricity is passed through the coil winding 32, which fully stimulates the Maillard reaction, and improves the cooking effect of the cooking appliance.

[0093] The coil winding 32 is wound into a hollow oval shape, with its width greater than its height, like an eye, with the central portion perpendicular to the extension direction of the pivot axis being smooth and both ends along the extension direction of the pivot axis being pointed. This shape ensures that the central portion of the coil winding 32 has sufficient space for the placement of the temperature regulator assembly 50, and the coil winding 32 can also fully utilize the space within the first mounting space 11. This allows more heat to be generated after the coil winding 32 is energized, which fully stimulates the Maillard reaction and improves the cooking effect of the cooking appliance.

[0094] The coil winding 32 includes an upper layer winding 321 and a lower layer winding 322, in which the upper layer winding 321 is located above the lower layer winding 322, the number of turns of the upper layer winding 321 is different from the number of turns of the lower layer winding 322, and the upper layer winding 321 and the lower layer winding 322 have the same winding diameter at the innermost ring. By winding two layers of windings, upper and lower, and limiting the positional relationship between the upper layer winding 321 and the lower layer winding 322, the coil assembly 3 has better electromagnetic matching parameters and achieves a better electromagnetic heating effect.

[0095] The coil holder 31 includes an upper holder 311 and a lower holder 312, which are fixed relative to each other to define a storage space 313 for the coil winding 32. The coil winding 32 is disposed in the storage space 313 for the coil winding 32 defined by the upper holder 311 and the lower holder 312. The coil winding 32 is supported and fixed using the upper holder 311 and the lower holder 312, so that the coil winding 32 can be stably installed in the first mounting space 11, and the stability of the overall structure and winding shape of the coil winding 32 can be ensured. The coil winding 32 can stably form a magnetic field to heat the heating cover 4.

The plurality of radial ribs 315 stably fix and support the coil winding 32 and play a role in reinforcing the upper layer holder 311 and the lower layer holder 312. The arrangement of the radial ribs 315 can prevent the shape and structure of the coil winding 32 from being destroyed.

[0097] A radiation avoidance space 314 is defined between adjacent radiation ribs 315, which not only allows radiation to be better transmitted downward to the heating lid 4, but also achieves a better heat dissipation effect.

[0098] The lower holder 312 is provided with an annular convex rib 316, which can reinforce the structural strength of the lower holder 312 and make the coil winding 32 more stably installed; on the other hand, the coil winding 32 is fitted onto the convex rib 316, and the shape of the coil winding 32 surrounded by the outside of the convex rib 316 is controlled by the outer contour of the convex rib 316; and the installation of the convex rib 316 ensures that the coil winding 32 is uniformly distributed and the structural stability of the coil winding 32 is ensured.

[0099] Referring to FIG. 4, the glass partition plate 12 is disposed under the coil assembly 3, and radiation generated from the coil winding 32 can be radiated to the heating plate through the glass partition plate 12, and heat generated from the heating cover 4 is not easily transmitted to the coil assembly 3 through the glass, thereby improving the heat utilization rate.

[0100] In addition, an aperture 121 is further provided in the glass partition 12, which avoids the thermoregulator assembly 50 and allows the thermoregulator assembly 50 to detect the temperature of the heating plate.

[0101] As shown in Figures 3 and 6, a groove 41 is provided on the upper surface of the heating lid 4, and the bottom of the groove 41 protrudes in the direction approaching the inner pot, so that the orthogonal projection of the coil winding 32 on the heating lid 4 covers the groove 41, allowing the heating lid 4 at the groove 41 to obtain sufficient heat, reduce the condensed water at the bottom of the groove 41, and prevent the condensed water from dripping onto the food and affecting the texture of the food, so as to ensure the cooking effect of the food.

[0102] A through hole 42 is provided in the groove 41, and the through hole 42 corresponds to the position of the opening 121 installed in the glass partition plate 12 and the temperature regulator assembly 50.
