Description

Electric pressure cooker

Technical Field

The invention relates to an electric pressure cooker, in particular to an improvement of an elastic pressure limiting valve of the electric pressure cooker.

Background

With the improvement of the living standard of people, the electric pressure cooker is widely used as a substitute product of the traditional pressure cooker and is favored by consumers. In the process of cooking food by using the electric pressure cooker, the electric pressure cooker continuously releases pressure to enable the cooker to continuously boil, so that the food is driven to continuously roll, and the cooked food is more delicious. However, in actual cooking, different foods have corresponding cooking pressures, and in order to meet the cooking requirements of different foods, the electric pressure cooker needs to be capable of realizing various pressure relief pressures. Chinese patent application No. 201120195784.X discloses an automatic pressure relief valve of an electric pressure cooker, which specifically discloses that a magnetic metal ring is arranged at the lower part of a gravity valve, an electric control magnetic device is arranged on a gravity valve mounting seat of a cooker cover, and pressure relief pressure is changed by changing the magnitude of magnetic force of the electric control magnetic device for adsorbing the magnetic metal ring. However, because the gravity valve blocks the exhaust port by the inner valve core, when the gravity valve is inclined to form a gap between the valve core and the exhaust port, the electric pressure cooker starts to exhaust and release air, and when the magnetic force is changed, once the force is not uniform, the electric pressure cooker may exhaust and release air in advance. That is, controlling the relief pressure in the above manner is not easy to operate.

Disclosure of Invention

The invention mainly aims to provide an electric pressure cooker, which solves the problem that the pressure relief pressure of the electric pressure cooker in the prior art is difficult to control.

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides an electric pressure cooker, comprising: the pot body is used for containing food to be cooked; the cooker cover is arranged on the cooker body and is provided with an exhaust port communicated with the inside of the cooker body; the elastic pressure limiting assembly is arranged on the exhaust port and comprises a movable plug and an elastic piece matched with the plug, and the elastic piece applies elastic force towards the direction of the exhaust port to the plug; magnetic induction spare and magnetism controlling means, magnetic induction spare set up on the end cap, and magnetism controlling means adsorbs or repels the magnetic induction spare in order to exert the magnetic force that deviates from the direction of gas vent to the end cap, and magnetism controlling means is through the size that changes magnetic force to the pressure release pressure of the pot body is changed.

By applying the technical scheme of the invention, the elastic pressure limiting component is arranged on the exhaust port of the cooker cover, and the magnetic induction piece and the magnetic control device are arranged. The elastic pressure limiting assembly comprises a movable plug and an elastic piece matched with the plug. The elastic member applies an elastic force to the plug in a direction toward the exhaust port. The magnetic induction piece is arranged on the plug. The magnetic control device adsorbs or repels the magnetic induction piece so as to apply magnetic force to the plug in the direction away from the exhaust port. As can be seen from the above, the elastic force applied by the elastic element to the plug is opposite to the magnetic force applied by the magnetic induction element to the plug. Under the condition of neglecting the self gravity of the plug, due to the balance of the force, the elastic force of the elastic part is equal to the sum of the magnetic force of the magnetic induction part and the pressure relief pressure inside the pot body. That is to say, when magnetism controlling means changed the size of magnetic force, pressure release pressure also changed thereupon to make electric pressure cooker can realize multiple pressure release pressure, adapt to the culinary art requirement of different food, and can also realize the continuous pressure release of the different pressure release pressure of multistage, last boiling. In addition, compare in the patent that application number is 201120195784.X, the end cap of this application stops the shutoff all the time on the gas vent before beginning the pressure release, and only when the end cap lifts up under the combined action of the elasticity of elastic component, magnetic induction spare magnetic force and the steam pressure in the pot body, the electric pressure cooker just begins the pressure release. Therefore, the above manner makes it easier to control the relief pressure.

Furthermore, the magnetic control device adsorbs or repels the magnetic induction piece after the electrification to exert the magnetic force of the direction deviating from the exhaust port on the plug, and the magnetic control device changes the size of the magnetic force by changing the size of the electrified current of the magnetic control device, so that the pressure relief pressure of the pot body is changed.

Further, the magnetic control device is an electromagnet.

Furthermore, the magnetic control device is arranged in a position-adjustable manner, and the magnetic control device changes the size of magnetic force by changing the distance between the magnetic control device and the magnetic induction piece, so that the pressure relief pressure of the pot body is changed.

Furthermore, the magnetic induction piece is a magnetic attraction piece, and the magnetic control device is positioned above the magnetic induction piece.

Furthermore, the elastic pressure limiting assembly also comprises a valve body, the valve body is in a cylindrical shape with the upper end closed and the lower end opened, the closed end of the valve body is provided with an air passing hole, the elastic piece and the plug are arranged in the valve body, and two ends of the elastic piece respectively abut against the closed end and the plug of the valve body.

As shown in fig. 1 to 3, the electric pressure cooker of the present embodiment includes a cooker body, a cooker cover 10, an elastic pressure limiting assembly 20, a magnetic induction member 30 and a magnetic control device 40. Wherein the pot body is used for containing food to be cooked. The pot cover 10 is arranged on the pot body. The pot cover 10 is provided with an exhaust port 11 communicated with the inside of the pot body. The elastic pressure limiting member 20 is disposed on the exhaust port 11. The elastic pressure limiting assembly 20 comprises a movable plug 21 and an elastic member 22 matched with the plug 21. The elastic member 22 applies an elastic force to the stopper 21 in a direction toward the exhaust port 11. The magnetic induction member 30 is disposed on the plug 21. The magnetic control device 40 attracts the magnetic sensor 30 to apply a magnetic force to the stopper 21 in a direction away from the exhaust port 11. The magnetic control device 40 changes the pressure relief pressure of the pan body by changing the magnitude of the magnetic force.

In the electric pressure cooker of the present embodiment, the elastic pressure limiting component 20 is disposed on the air outlet 11 of the cooker lid 10, and the magnetic induction member 30 and the magnetic control device 40 are disposed. The elastic pressure limiting assembly 20 includes a movable plug 21 and an elastic member 22 engaged with the plug 21. The elastic member 22 applies an elastic force to the stopper 21 in a direction toward the exhaust port 11. The magnetic induction member 30 is disposed on the plug 21. The magnetic control device 40 attracts the magnetic sensor 30 to apply a magnetic force to the stopper 21 in a direction away from the exhaust port 11. As can be seen from the above, the elastic force applied to the plug 21 by the elastic member 22 is opposite to the direction of the magnetic force applied to the plug 21 by the magnetic sensor 30. In the case of neglecting the self-weight of the stopper 21, due to the balance of forces, the elastic force of the elastic member 22 is equal to the sum of the magnetic force of the magnetic induction member 30 and the pressure relief pressure inside the pot body. That is to say, when the magnetic control device 40 changes the magnitude of the magnetic force, the pressure relief pressure is changed accordingly, so that the electric pressure cooker can realize various pressure relief pressures, adapt to cooking requirements of different foods, and can realize continuous pressure relief and continuous boiling of multiple sections of different pressure relief pressures. In addition, compared with the patent with the application number of 201120195784.X, the plug 21 of the embodiment is always sealed on the exhaust port 11 before the pressure relief is started, and the pressure relief of the electric pressure cooker is started only when the plug 21 is integrally lifted under the combined action of the elastic force of the elastic element 22, the magnetic force of the magnetic induction element 30 and the steam pressure in the cooker body. Therefore, the above manner makes it easier to control the relief pressure.

It should be noted that, because the plug 21 of the elastic pressure limiting assembly 20 is always sealed on the exhaust port 11 before the pressure relief is started, that is, the plug 21 is always sealed on the exhaust port 11 before the steam pressure in the cooker body reaches the pressure relief pressure, in this process, the deformation amount of the elastic element 22 remains unchanged, and the magnitude of the elastic force applied by the elastic element 22 to the plug 21 remains unchanged.

As shown in fig. 1 and fig. 3, in the electric pressure cooker of the present embodiment, the magnetic induction member 30 is a magnetic attraction member, and the magnetic control device 40 is located above the magnetic induction member 30. The magnetic control device 40 attracts the magnetic sensor 30 to apply a magnetic force to the stopper 21 in a direction away from the exhaust port 11. It should be noted that the type of the magnetic sensor 30 and the way of matching the magnetic sensor 30 with the magnetic control device 40 are not limited to this, and in other embodiments not shown in the drawings, the magnetic control device may be disposed below the magnetic sensor, and the magnetic control device may repel the magnetic sensor to apply a magnetic force to the plug in a direction away from the exhaust port.

In the electric pressure cooker of the embodiment, after being powered on, the magnetic control device 40 adsorbs the magnetic induction element 30 to apply a magnetic force to the plug 21 in a direction away from the exhaust port 11, and the magnetic control device 40 changes the magnitude of the magnetic force by changing the magnitude of the power current of the magnetic control device, so as to change the pressure relief pressure of the cooker body. In this embodiment, the magnetic control device 40 is an electromagnet, and the magnetic attraction member (the magnetic induction member 30) is a soft magnetic sheet. The magnetic control device 40 has a simpler structure and is safer and more reliable to use. Meanwhile, the magnetic force is changed by changing the size of the electrified current of the magnetic control device 40, so that the control is more convenient, and the setting position of the magnetic control device 40 is not changed, so that the magnetic control device 40 is convenient to arrange, and the installation space is effectively saved.

The type of the magnetic control device 40 and the method of changing the magnitude of the magnetic force are not limited to these examples, and in other embodiments, the magnetic control device may be of another type, and the method of changing the magnitude of the magnetic force may be of another type. For example, the magnetic control device is arranged in a position-adjustable manner, and the magnetic control device changes the magnitude of magnetic force by changing the distance between the magnetic control device and the magnetic induction piece, so that the pressure relief pressure of the pot body is changed.

As shown in fig. 3 to 6, in the electric pressure cooker of the present embodiment, the elastic pressure limiting assembly 20 further includes a valve body 23. The valve body 23 is cylindrical with its upper end closed and its lower end opened. The closed end of the valve body 23 is provided with a gas passing hole 231. The elastic member 22 and the plug 21 are disposed in the valve body 23, and both ends of the elastic member 22 respectively abut against the closed end of the valve body 23 and the plug 21. The pot cover 10 comprises a face cover, an inner liner, a locking ring and an inner pot cover which are arranged from top to bottom in sequence. The inner pot cover is provided with a through hole, an annular sealing seat is arranged at the through hole, and the exhaust port 11 is formed in the annular sealing seat. When the elastic pressure limiting assembly 20 and the lid 10 are assembled, the open end of the valve body 23 is connected to the inner lid, one end of the elastic member 22 abuts against the closed end of the valve body 23 to be fixed, and the other end of the elastic member 22 abuts against the plug 21, so that the plug 21 blocks the exhaust port 11. In this embodiment, the side of the plug 21 facing the exhaust port 11 is provided with an annular rib. When the plug 21 plugs the exhaust port 11, the annular convex rib abuts against the top surface of the annular sealing seat, so that the plug 21 and the annular sealing seat are more stably matched.

As shown in fig. 3 to 6, in the electric pressure cooker of the present embodiment, the magnetic induction element 30 is disposed on the surface of the plug 21 away from the air outlet 11, so that the magnetic induction element 30 is prevented from interfering with the mating of the plug 21 and the air outlet 11. The plug 21 is provided with a positioning protrusion 211, and the magnetic induction member 30 is provided with a positioning hole 31 matched with the positioning protrusion 211. When the magnetic induction member 30 is assembled, the positioning convex portion 211 extends into the positioning hole 31 to position the magnetic induction member 30, which is more convenient for assembling the magnetic induction member 30. In this embodiment, the positioning protrusions 211 are provided in plurality at intervals in the circumferential direction of the plug 21, and each positioning protrusion 211 extends in the circumferential direction of the plug 21 so as to have an arc shape. The plurality of arc-shaped positioning convex parts 211 are used for positioning the magnetic induction piece 30 together, so that the positioning effect is better.

The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention, and various modifications and changes may be made by those skilled in the art. Any modification, equivalent replacement, or improvement made within the spirit and principle of the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
