[0028] In conventional cooking appliances, it is necessary to install a heating coil inside the cooking body, and the food inside the inner pot is heated by heating the inner pot with the heating coil. In the conventional technology, the heating coil is usually arranged at the bottom of the outer pot, and since the temperature is transmitted from bottom to top, the food at the upper part cannot be heated uniformly, and the overall heating takes a long time, which affects the cooking efficiency of the cooking appliance and the cooking effect of the cooking appliance.

[0031] The cooking body 10 of the cooking appliance according to the embodiment of the present application may include an outer case 1, an outer pot 2, and a first heating coil 5.

[0032] The outer pot 2 is provided inside the outer case 1 and together with the outer case 1 defines an installation space 3. The first heating coil 5 is provided in the installation space 3. By providing the first heating coil 5 in the installation space 3, the volume required for arranging the first heating coil 5 becomes smaller, and the first heating coil 5 is protected by the outer pot 2 and the outer case 1 so as not to affect the safe operation of the cooking appliance due to the exposure of the coil.

[0033] Referring to FIGS. 1-3, the outer pot 2 includes a bottom plate 22, a side plate 23, and a transition plate 24. The transition plate 24 is used to connect the bottom plate 22 and the side plate 23, and may be formed in a closed hemispherical shape so that the outer pot 2 houses the inner pot 20.

[0034] Furthermore, the first heating coil 5 is provided by being wound around the side plate 23 and / or is located outside the transition plate 24. That is, the first heating coil 5 is located at the side part of the outer pot 2. Thereby, when there is a lot of food inside the inner pot 20, the first heating coil 5 can heat the food from the side part, the food is heated uniformly in the cooking device, the food is heated three-dimensionally, the time required for heating the food is short, and the cooking efficiency of the cooking device is ensured. Moreover, the Maillard reaction can be sufficiently caused to make the food more flavorful, and by adding a heating coil to the side part, sufficient heating power is given to the cooking device, and the cooking effect of the cooking device on the food is further enhanced.

[0035] The cooking main body 10 of the cooking device according to the embodiment of the present application can uniformly heat the food by the cooking main body 10, the time required for heating the food is short, the cooking efficiency of the cooking device is ensured, and the food is heated three-dimensionally to sufficiently cause the Maillard reaction to make the food more flavorful.

[0036] As shown in FIGS. 1-3, the first heating coil 5 includes a first heating part 51 and a second heating part 52. The first heating part 51 is provided by being wound around the side plate 23, and the second heating part 52 is located outside the transition plate 24.

[0037] The first heating part 51 is provided by being wound around the top of the side plate 23. The first heating part can heat the food at a position close to the top in the side plate 23, that is, a position far from the bottom. The food can be uniformly heated in the cooking device, the food is heated three-dimensionally, the time required for heating the food is short, the cooking efficiency of the cooking device is ensured, and moreover, the Maillard reaction can be sufficiently caused to make the food more flavorful.

[0038] Referring to FIG. 3, the cooking body 10 of the cooking appliance further includes an inner pot 20, and the inner pot 20 is provided inside the outer pot 2. Both the second heating coil 4 and the first heating coil 5 can heat the inner pot 20 by directly heating or generating a changing magnetic field. Food ingredients can be placed in the inner pot 20. The food ingredients are placed in the inner pot 20 and can be heated by the inner pot 20, thereby realizing cooking.

[0039] At least a part corresponding to the side plate 23 of the inner pot 20 extends along the vertical direction to form a vertical heating part, and the first heating part 51 is provided corresponding to the vertical heating part. Thereby, in the vertical direction, the relative distance between the inner pot 20 and the first heating part 51 is stable, the heating effect of the first heating part 51 on the inner pot 20 becomes more uniform, the heating effect of the first heating part 51 is ensured, and the cooking effect of the cooking appliance is improved.

[0040] As shown in FIGS. 1-3, at least a part of the side plate 23 extends vertically, the first heating part 51 is provided corresponding to the vertically extending part of the side plate 23, and the first heating part 51 provided at this part is parallel to the outer pot 2. Thereby, it is parallel to the inner pot 20 provided inside the outer pot 2. In the vertical direction, the relative distance between the inner pot 20 and the first heating part 51 is stable, the heating effect of the first heating part 51 on the inner pot 20 becomes more uniform, the heating effect of the first heating part 51 is ensured, and the cooking effect of the cooking appliance is improved.

[0041] The maximum water level line and the minimum water level line are marked in the inner pot 20, and at least a part of the first heating part 51 can heat at least a part of the pot body between the maximum water level line and the minimum water level line of the inner pot 20. When liquid is put into the inner pot 20 and the height of the liquid surface is above the position of the pot body of the inner pot 20 corresponding to the second coil, when the first heating part 51 operates, the liquid in the inner pot 20 can be heated more sufficiently, improving the cooking efficiency.

[0042] Referring to FIGS. 1-3, since there is a spacing distance between the first heating unit 51 and the second heating unit 52, the first heating unit 51 can be provided at the end far from the second heating unit 52, avoiding the magnetic fields generated between the second heating unit 52 and the first heating unit from interfering with each other, and ensuring that both the second heating unit 52 and the first heating unit 51 have good heating performance.

[0043] Combining the embodiments as shown in FIGS. 1-3, a fixing groove 21 is provided on the side wall facing the outer case 1 of the outer pot 2, and the first heating unit 51 is wound around the fixing groove 21 and wound around the outer pot 2. For this reason, the first heating unit 51 can be stably fixed in the mounting space 3 by the fixing groove 21 provided on the side wall of the outer pot 2, avoiding the coil position from shifting and affecting the heating effect of the first heating unit 51.

[0044] Also, by installing the fixing groove 21 on the side wall facing the outer case 1 of the outer pot 2, it is possible to avoid installing the mounting structure necessary for fixing the first heating unit 51 in the mounting space 3, making the overall structure of the cooking appliance more compact, preventing the arrangement of the first heating unit 51 from occupying more space in the cooking appliance, and increasing the space utilization rate in the cooking appliance.

[0045] As shown in FIGS. 1-3, a plurality of fixing grooves 21 are provided side by side vertically, and a part of the first heating unit 51 is provided in each fixing groove 21, and each part of the first heating unit 51 can be fixed respectively. The stability of the coil installation is ensured, and since the form of the first heating unit 51 does not change, the heating effect of the first heating unit 51 is ensured.

[0046] As shown in FIGS. 1-3, the cooking body 10 of the cooking appliance further includes a second heating coil 4, and the second heating coil 4 is provided in the mounting space 3. By installing the first heating coil 4 and the second heating coil 5 in the mounting space 3 at the same time, the volume required for the arrangement of the first heating coil 4 and the second heating coil 5 becomes smaller, and the first heating coil 4 and the first heating coil 5 are protected by the outer pot 2 and the external case 1 so as not to affect the safe operation of the cooking appliance due to the exposure of the coil.

[0047] Also, by arranging the first heating coil 4 and the second heating coil 5 in the mounting space 3 at the same time, it is also helpful for the electrical connection between the first heating coil 4 and the second heating coil 5.

[0048] The second heating coil 4 is located outside the bottom plate 22. That is, since the heating coil is provided at the bottom and side of the outer pot 2 at the same time, it is ensured that the food in the cooking appliance is heated uniformly in all directions, and the upper part of the food can also be heated uniformly, the time required for heating the food is short, and the cooking efficiency of the cooking appliance is ensured. In addition, the food can be heated three-dimensionally to sufficiently cause the Maillard reaction, making the food more flavorful. Furthermore, sufficient heating power is given to the cooking appliance to further enhance the cooking effect of the cooking appliance on the food.

[0049] Referring to FIG. 4, the second heating coil 4 and the first heating coil 5 are provided in parallel. That is, according to different modes, the cooking appliance can control the on / off of the second heating coil 4 and the first heating coil 5 respectively, and different heating effects are realized.

[0050] For example, in some operation modes, the second heating coil 4 and the first heating coil 5 heat simultaneously, in some other operation modes, the first coil heats while the first heating coil 5 does not heat, and in some other operation modes, the first heating coil 5 heats while the second heating coil 4 does not heat.

[0051] Specifically, when there is little food to be cooked in the cooking appliance, the second heating coil 4 may be controlled to heat while the first heating coil 5 is not heated. At this time, the cooking appliance controls the power supply to be turned on for the second heating coil 4 and turned off for the first heating coil 5 respectively, so as to ensure the heating effect and save power at the same time.

[0052] When there is a large amount of food to be cooked in the cooking appliance, the second heating coil 4 and the first heating coil 5 can be controlled to heat simultaneously. At this time, the cooking appliance controls the power supply to be turned on for the second heating coil 4 and the first heating coil 5 respectively, so that the food is heated uniformly in all directions, improving the heating efficiency of the cooking appliance, making the cooking effect of the food better, and making the food more flavorful.

[0053] When the cooking appliance needs to heat the upper part of the food better, the second heating coil 4 may not be heated, but the first heating coil 5 may be controlled to heat. At this time, the cooking appliance controls the power supply to be turned off for the second heating coil 4 and turned on for the first heating coil 5 respectively, so as to give more heat to the upper part of the food and meet the different heating requirements of the ingredients.

[0054] According to the above operation modes, according to the actual needs, by setting different operation times, the cooking appliance can operate alternately without sequencing among various operation modes, and the cooking appliance can make the cooked food more flavorful by providing different cooking methods at different cooking stages of the food.

[0055] According to some embodiments of the present application, a maximum water level line and a minimum water level line are provided on the inner pot 20, and the first heating part 51 is located between the maximum water level line and the minimum water level line. At least a part of the first heating part 51 can heat at least a part of the pot body between the maximum water level line and the minimum water level line of the inner pot 20. When liquid is put into the inner pot 20 and the height of the liquid surface is above the position of the pot body of the inner pot 20 corresponding to the first heating part 51, the first heating part 51 can operate to more fully heat the liquid in the inner pot 20, improving the cooking efficiency.

[0056] In addition, when there is no contradiction, the embodiments in the present application and the features in the embodiments can be combined with each other.

[0057] The cooking appliance according to another aspect of the present application includes the cooking body 10 of the above cooking appliance. In the cooking appliance, by adopting the cooking body 10 of the above cooking appliance, the overall structure of the cooking appliance becomes more compact, the cooking efficiency becomes higher, and the cooking effect becomes better.

[0058] As shown in FIG. 3, the cooking appliance further includes a lid assembly 30. The lid assembly 30 is provided on the cooking body 10 so as to open and close the cooking body 10. When the lid assembly 30 closes the cooking body 10, the space inside the cooking body 10 is closed, the heat preservation performance of the cooking appliance becomes better, the heat is more easily utilized for cooking, and the cooking efficiency is improved.

[0059] Referring to FIG. 3, the lid assembly 30 includes an inner lid 301, a third heating coil 302, and a heating lid 303. The third heating coil 302 is provided on the inner lid 301, and the heating lid 303 is provided on the inner lid 301 and is located below the third heating coil 302. When the third heating coil 302 is energized, a magnetic field can be formed to heat the heating lid 303 in the magnetic field. The heated heating lid 303 can heat the food in the inner pot 20 from above the inner pot 20, which can not only improve the cooking efficiency of the cooking appliance, but also heat the food three-dimensionally, heat the upper part of the food evenly, fully cause the Maillard reaction, and make the food more flavorful.

[0060] As shown in FIG. 4, the third heating coil 302 and the first heating coil 5 are connected in series. That is, the cooking appliance can control the on / off of the third heating coil 302 and the first heating coil 5 simultaneously, simplify the control logic of the cooking appliance, and simplify the structure of the cooking appliance.

[0061] Furthermore, referring to FIG. 4, the second heating coil 4 is connected in parallel to the first heating coil 5 and the third heating coil 302 connected in series. That is, according to different modes, the cooking appliance can control the on / off of the second heating coil 4, the third heating coil 302, and the first heating coil 5 respectively to achieve different heating effects.

[0062] For example, in some operating modes, the second heating coil 4, the third heating coil 302, and the first heating coil 5 heat simultaneously. In some other operating modes, the first coil heats while the first heating coil 5 and the third heating coil 302 do not heat. In some other operating modes, the first heating coil 5 and the third heating coil 302 heat while the second heating coil 4 does not heat.

[0063] Specifically, when there is less food to be cooked in the cooking appliance, it may be controlled such that the second heating coil 4 heats while the first heating coil 5 and the third heating coil 302 do not heat. At this time, the cooking appliance controls the power supply to be on for the second heating coil 4 and off for the circuit in which the first heating coil 5 and the third heating coil 302 are connected in series, so as to ensure the heating effect and save power at the same time.

[0064] When there is more food to be cooked in the cooking appliance, it can be controlled such that the second heating coil 4, the first heating coil 5, and the third heating coil 302 heat simultaneously. At this time, the cooking appliance controls the power supply to be on for the second heating coil 4 and for the circuit in which the first heating coil 5 and the third heating coil 302 are connected in series, so that the food is heated uniformly in all directions, improving the heating efficiency of the cooking appliance, making the cooking effect of the food better, and making the food more flavorful.

[0065] When the cooking appliance needs to heat the upper part of the food better, the second heating coil 4 may not be heated, and the first heating coil 5 and the third heating coil 302 may be controlled to be heated. At this time, the cooking appliance turns off the power supply for the second heating coil 4 and turns on the power supply for the circuit in which the first heating coil 5 and the third heating coil 302 are connected in series, so as to give more heat to the upper part of the food and meet the different heating requirements of the ingredients.

[0066] For the above operation modes, according to the actual needs, by setting different operation times, it is possible to operate alternately between different operation modes without sequencing, and the cooking appliance can provide different cooking methods at different cooking stages of the food, so as to make the cooked food more flavorful.

[0067] Furthermore, referring to FIG. 4, the cooking appliance further includes a first coil switch K1 and a second coil switch K2. The first coil switch K1 is connected to the second heating coil 4 to control the on / off of the power supply of the second heating coil 4, and the second coil switch K2 is connected to the first heating coil 5 to control the on / off of the power supply of the first heating coil 5 and the third heating coil 302. By controlling the on / off of the first coil switch K1 and the second coil switch K2, the cooking appliance can be controlled to switch between different operation modes.

[0068] For example, in some operation modes, the second heating coil 4, the third heating coil 302, and the first heating coil 5 are heated simultaneously. At this time, the first coil switch K1 and the second coil switch K2 are turned on simultaneously. In some other operation modes, the first coil is heated, and the first heating coil 5 and the third heating coil 302 are not heated. At this time, the first coil switch K1 is turned on, and the second coil switch K2 is turned off. In some other operation modes, the first heating coil 5 and the third heating coil 302 are heated, and the second heating coil 4 is not heated. At this time, the first coil switch K1 is turned off, and the second coil switch K2 is turned on.

[0069] Hereinafter, a specific embodiment of the cooking appliance will be described with reference to the drawings.

The third heating coil 302 is provided on the inner lid 301, and the heating lid 303 is provided on the inner lid 301 and located below the third heating coil 302. When the third heating coil 302 is energized, a magnetic field can be formed to heat the heating lid 303 within the magnetic field. The heated heating lid 303 can heat the food in the inner pot 20 from above the inner pot 20, which can not only improve the cooking efficiency of the cooking appliance, but also heat the food three-dimensionally, heat the upper part of the food evenly, fully cause the Maillard reaction, and make the food more flavorful.

[0078] Furthermore, referring to FIG. 4, the second heating coil 4 and the first heating coil 5 are connected in series, and the circuit connected in series is connected in parallel with the third heating coil 302. That is, according to different modes, the cooking appliance can control the on / off of the second heating coil 4, the first heating coil 5, and the third heating coil 302 respectively to achieve different heating effects.

[0079] For example, in some operating modes, the second heating coil 4, the third heating coil 302, and the first heating coil 5 heat simultaneously. In some other operating modes, the first coil heats, while the first heating coil 5 and the third heating coil 302 do not heat. In some other operating modes, the first heating coil 5 and the third heating coil 302 heat, while the second heating coil 4 does not heat.

[0080] Specifically, when there is less food to be cooked in the cooking appliance, it may be controlled such that the second heating coil 4 heats and the first heating coil 5 and the third heating coil 302 do not heat. At this time, the cooking appliance controls the power supply to be on for the second heating coil 4 and off for the circuit in which the first heating coil 5 and the third heating coil 302 are connected in series, so as to ensure the heating effect and save power at the same time.

[0081] When there is a large amount of food to be cooked in the cooking appliance, it can be controlled so that the second heating coil 4, the first heating coil 5, and the third heating coil 302 are heated simultaneously. At this time, the cooking appliance controls the power supply to turn on in a circuit where the second heating coil 4, the first heating coil 5, and the third heating coil 302 are connected in series, so that the food is heated uniformly in all directions, improving the heating efficiency of the cooking appliance, making the cooking effect of the food better, and making the food more flavorful.

[0082] When the cooking appliance needs to heat the upper ingredients better, it may be controlled so that the second heating coil 4 does not heat and the first heating coil 5 and the third heating coil 302 heat. At this time, the cooking appliance controls the power supply to turn off for the second heating coil 4 and turn on in a circuit where the first heating coil 5 and the third heating coil 302 are connected in series, giving more heat to the upper part of the food and meeting the different heating requirements of the ingredients.

[0083] The above operation modes can, according to actual needs, set different operation times to operate alternately without sequencing among various operation modes. By providing different cooking methods at different cooking stages of the food, the cooking appliance can make the cooked food more flavorful.
