In the description of the present application, the terms "first," "second," and the like are used only to distinguish one from another, and do not indicate their importance, order, etc.

[0024] In the description of this application, unless otherwise clearly limited, the terms "attached", "coupled", and "connected" should be understood in a broad sense, for example, they may be fixedly connected or movably connected, may be detachably connected, may be mechanically connected, may be electrically connected, may be directly connected, may be indirectly connected via an intermediate medium, may be internally communicated between two elements, etc. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this application on a case-by-case basis.

[0025] As shown in Figures 1 to 3, the pan body mounting structure comprises a mounting member 10 and an elastic device 20, the mounting member 10 is provided with a cavity 110 having an upper end opening, the upper edge of the mounting member 10 is provided with a downwardly recessed groove 120, the elastic device 20 is provided within the cavity 110, the pan body 30 is provided with a buckle 310 that engages with the groove 120, and both ends of the elastic device 20 are engaged with the mounting member 10 and the pan body, respectively, and in a free state, the pre-tightening force of the elastic device 20 is greater than or equal to the gravity of the pan body 30.

[0026] When it is necessary to attach the pot body 30 and the mounting member 10, the pot body 30 is brought close to the mounting member 10, and the buckle 310 of the pot body 30 is inserted into the groove 120 to engage and lock. When removing the pot body 30, the buckle 310 is removed from the groove 120 with a force opposite to that used when attaching the pot body 30, completing the removal of the pot body 30. Since the mounting member 10 is provided with the elastic device 20, when attaching or removing the pot body 30, not only can the pot body 30 be quickly attached and detached, but it is also easy to butt and lock, which is simple even for users with weak strength, improving the market competitiveness of the product.

[0027] In this embodiment, the number of the grooves 120 is preferably three, but the number of the grooves 120 in this application can be changed according to the needs of users. As shown in Fig. 2, the periphery of the mounting member 10 extends upward to form the cavity 110, and in this embodiment, the mounting member 10 preferably extends to form a hollow cylindrical structure, and the cavity 110 is the inner cavity of the cylindrical structure.

[0028] As shown in FIG. 3 and FIG. 4, the groove 120 is provided with an introduction portion 122, and the inner diameter of the introduction portion 122 gradually decreases from top to bottom. Preferably, the cross-sectional shape of the introduction portion 122 is an inverted isosceles trapezoid or an inverted right-angled trapezoid. When the buckle 310 engages with the groove 120, the buckle 310 slides in from the opening of the introduction portion 122 and is restricted by the cross-sectional change of the introduction portion 122, so that the pot body 30 and the mounting bracket 10 can be stably engaged. When the buckle 310 passes through the open opening of the groove 120, a self-guiding function can be realized, so that the buckle 310 and the groove 120 can be blindly aligned. In this embodiment, it is preferable to set the cross-sectional shape of the introduction portion 122 to an inverted isosceles trapezoid so that the buckle 310 can smoothly slide into the groove 120 from the left or right side of the groove 120 to achieve blind alignment.

[0029] The groove 120 is provided with a hook portion 124, which includes an arc portion extending toward the upper edge of the mounting member 10. After the buckle 310 slides into the groove 120, it can smoothly enter the hook portion 124 of the groove 120, and the hook portion 124 and the lead-in portion 122 are designed in the opposite direction, so that the buckle 310 will not easily slide out of the groove 120, and the buckle 310 can be more stably fixed in the groove 120 by the action of the elastic device 20. When two or more grooves 120 are provided, the bending and extending directions of the hook portions 124 of the grooves 120 are the same.

[0030] In another embodiment, the groove 120 further includes a transition portion (not shown), which is disposed between the lead-in portion 122 and the hook portion 124, with one end connected to the lead-in portion 122 and the other end connected to the hook portion 124. After the buckle 310 enters the groove 120 through the lead-in portion 122, the transition portion can be adjusted so that the buckle 310 can enter the groove 120 completely. Preferably, the transition portion is a straight portion.

[0031] As shown in FIG. 2, the buckle 310 is a locking stud with a circular or polygonal cross section, and the locking stud 310 can smoothly slide into the groove 120 from the upper edge thereof. Preferably, a stopper portion is provided at the free end of the locking stud 310. The stopper portion may be arranged to protrude along the outer periphery of the locking stud 310, or may be arranged discontinuously around the locking stud 310, or may be arranged continuously to form a ring structure. When the buckle 310 is locked into the groove 120, the stopper portion abuts against the wall surface of the mounting member 10, preventing the mounting member 10 from slipping off due to vibration.

[0032] Preferably, the elastic device 20 is a compression spring. The elastic change direction of the compression spring is consistent with the direction of the lead-in portion 122 of the groove 120. The elastic force of the compression spring is stored or released during the installation or removal of the pan body, so that the user completes the installation or removal of the pan body 30.

[0033] 5 and 6, the cooking device includes a main body structure 40, which is provided with a receiving cavity 42 for receiving the pan body and a pan body mounting structure, and the mounting member 10 is positioned within the receiving cavity 42. The method of engagement and fixing between the pan body 30 and the mounting member 10 has been described above, and will not be described again in this application.

[0034] The cooking appliance 100 further includes a temperature measuring device and a circuit board, and the temperature measuring device is electrically connected to the circuit board and fixed on the circuit board. In this preferred embodiment, the temperature measuring device is connected to the circuit board through the circuit board. The temperature measuring device is a non-contact temperature measuring device, preferably an infrared temperature measuring device. The temperature measuring device is fixed to the circuit board, and the temperature measuring device and the pan body are attached in a non-contact manner, so that when the pan body is attached or detached, there is enough space for the attachment or detachment operation, and there is no need to avoid the corresponding temperature measuring device, so that the temperature measuring device is easy to operate without being damaged.

[0035] The above is merely a description of the preferred embodiments and the technical principles applied in the present application. Those skilled in the art can understand that the present application is not limited to the specific embodiments described herein, and various obvious modifications, rearrangements, and substitutions can be made by those skilled in the art without departing from the scope of protection of the present application. Therefore, although the present application has been described in detail through the above embodiments, the present application is not limited to the above embodiments, and can further include other equivalent embodiments without departing from the concept of the present application, and the scope of the present application is determined by the appended claims.
