Detailed Description

In order to make the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the present application more apparent, the technical solutions of the present application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to specific embodiments of the present application and corresponding drawings. It will be apparent that the described embodiments are only some, but not all, embodiments of the application. All other embodiments, which can be made by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the application without making any inventive effort, are intended to be within the scope of the application.

It should also be noted that the terms "comprises," "comprising," or any other variation thereof, are intended to cover a non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, article, or apparatus that comprises a list of elements does not include only those elements but may include other elements not expressly listed or inherent to such process, method, article, or apparatus. Without further limitation, an element defined by the phrase "comprising one … …" does not exclude the presence of other like elements in a process, method, article or apparatus that comprises the element.

Referring to fig. 1 to 5b, a cooking apparatus 1 according to an embodiment of the present application includes a base 10, a lid 20 and a pot 30. The base 10 has opposite front and rear sides which lie on the same axis AX in the horizontal direction of the base 10, that is, on the axis AX from the rear side toward the front side. The base 10 may be, but is not limited to, provided with a display operation panel 110 at a front side and a stand 130 at a rear side, and a hob 140 between the front side and the rear side. One end of the cantilever 210 of the pot cover 20 is pivoted to the upright 130, and the other end is connected to the cover 220 of the pot cover 20, so that the cover 220 is suspended above the base 10, and the cover 220 can be close to or far from the pot 30 along with the rotation of the cantilever 210 relative to the upright 120, thereby opening or closing the cover 220 of the pot 30.

The cooking bench 140 is a concave structure on the base 10, with its inner edge 141 sunk from the surface of the base 10, and its outer edge 142 surrounding the surface of the base 10 and rising from the surface 10. The top of a kitchen range 140 is provided with limiting portions 143a, 143b, 143c for preventing the pan 30 from being displaced relative to the top of a kitchen range 140, for example, being rotated, turned or slid left and right along the outer edge 142 of the top of a kitchen range 140 when the pan 30 is placed on the top of a kitchen range 140.

The limiting portions 143a, 143b may be a bottom surface 1411 or a side surface 1412 of the inner edge 141, or may be disposed on both the bottom surface 1411 and the side surface 1412. The stopper 143c is provided on the outer rim 142.

As shown in fig. 5 to 8, in the embodiment in which the stopper 143a is disposed on the bottom surface 1411 of the inner edge 141 and the stopper 143b is disposed on the side surface 1412 of the inner edge 141, the stopper 143a, 143b may be made of a material having a high surface friction coefficient, such as a non-slip mat or a non-slip mat made of a polymer material such as silicone rubber, rubber or epoxy resin. Therefore, in the present embodiment, the limiting portions 143a and 143b can also play a role in buffering when the cookware 30 contacts the cooking bench 140, so as to reduce the damage and noise caused by collision between the cookware and the cooking bench.

The number of the stopper portions 143a, 143b may be plural, and the bottom surface 1411 and the side surface 1412 of the inner edge 141 may be provided in a dispersed manner. For example, the three points are symmetrically arranged on the bottom surface 1411 and the side surface 1412 in the form of an equilateral triangle. Meanwhile, in order to enhance the anti-slip and anti-slip effects, the directions of the triangular vertices distributed on the bottom surface 1411 and the triangular vertices on the side surface 1412 may be selectively opposite, for example, the plurality of limiting portions 143a and 143b are respectively located at two opposite ends of the axis AX of the base 10, and form two triangular shapes which are overlapped with each other and have opposite directions in the projection direction of the cooking bench 140, so that the limiting portion 143b distributed on two points of the bottom surface 1411 and the limiting portion 143a distributed on one point of the side surface 1412 form an equilateral triangle shape, so that even distributed resistance is better formed at a plurality of positions on the surface of the pot 30.

Therefore, when the pan 30 is placed on the cooking bench 140, the surfaces at the bottom and the side edges of the pan 30 are respectively contacted with the corresponding limiting parts 143b and 143a, and the resistance for blocking the relative movement of the pan 30 is formed on the cooking bench 140 by the friction force generated when the pan 30 is contacted with each other and the gravity of the pan 30, so that the pan 30 is limited on the cooking bench 140, the pan 30 is prevented from rotating along the circumferential direction of the cooking bench 140 (namely along the surrounding direction of the outer edge), the cooking operation can be more stably operated in use, the energy consumption is reduced, and the efficiency is improved.

In addition, in the present embodiment, since the constituent materials of the limiting portions 143a and 143b have a buffering effect, when the bottom and the side edges of the pan 30 contact with the corresponding limiting portions 143b and 143a, noise generated by hard contact between the pan 30 and the cooking bench 140 can be reduced or eliminated by the sound absorption and the shock absorption of the limiting portions 143a and 143b, and user experience is improved.

In some embodiments of the present application, positioning members may also be optionally provided on the pot 30, for example, at positions corresponding to the limiting portions 143a, 143b on the surface of the pot 310 of the pot 30. The positioning element may be, but is not limited to, a protruding structure formed on the surface of the pan body 310, which may be a rough structure compared to the smooth surface of the periphery, such as an array formed by a plurality of protruding points or a single protruding block. And, when the pot body 310 of the pot 30 is placed on the cooking bench 310, the positioning piece and the limiting parts 143a, 143b are combined with each other and are in interference contact. That is, the positioning member is at least partially inserted into the limiting portions 143a, 143b, so that the positioning member and the limiting portions 143a, 143b are coupled to each other in a manner similar to the matched concave-convex structure, thereby increasing the contact area and enhancing the resistance therebetween. Therefore, in addition to the interference contact arrangement, the surface of the limiting portions 143a and 143b contacting the positioning member may be provided with concave structures corresponding to the bump arrays or bumps, so that the positioning member and the limiting portions 143a and 143b are combined with each other, and are limited by the physical structure, and are not easy to separate from the limiting portions 143a and 143b, thereby preventing the cooker 30 from rotating on the cooking bench 140 in the horizontal direction.

Referring to fig. 3a to 6b, in the embodiment in which the limiting portion 143c is disposed on the outer edge 142 of the cooking bench 140, the limiting portion 143c on the cooking bench 140 and the positioning member 320 of the pot 30 are configured as a matched concave-convex structure. In the present embodiment, the limiting portion 143c is taken as a groove, and the positioning element 320 is taken as a bump with a shape structure matching with the groove as an example, but not limited thereto.

The limiting part 143c may be provided in the form of a semi-open groove at an inner or outer surface of the outer rim 142 of the hob 140, i.e., recessed at the inner or outer surface, but not penetrating the outer rim 142; or the grooves are disposed on the outer edge 142 in a hollow structure that is fully open and penetrates the inner and outer side surfaces of the outer edge 142 (as shown in fig. 5). Therefore, when the pan 30 is placed on the cooking bench 140, the positioning piece 320 on the pan body 30 is correspondingly clamped and fixed in the limiting part 143c, so that the ability of the pan body 30 to rotate along the outer edge 142 of the cooking bench 140 in the horizontal direction is limited, and the problem that the pan body 30 is easy to rotate along the cooking bench 140 in the cooking process is solved.

In order to more effectively conform to the ergonomics and the operation habit of the user, the position of the limiting portion 143c on the cooking bench 140 may be a position where the angle between the pan handle 330 connected to the pan body 310 and the axis AX of the base 10 is 30 to 60 degrees, for example, 30 degrees, 40 degrees, 45 degrees, 50 degrees, 60 degrees, or the like when the pan body 310 is placed on the cooking bench 140. Allowing the user to operate the cooking apparatus 1 more easily in a direction facing the front side of the base 10 or the opening direction of the lid 20 (or the axial direction of the cantilever 210). The axial direction of the cantilever 210 may be the same as or different from the axial direction AX of the base 10, so in some embodiments of the present application, the position of the limiting portion 143c may be based on the axial direction of the cantilever 210, so that the included angle θ between the panhandle 330 and the axial direction of the cantilever 210 is 30-60 degrees.

It will be appreciated that in the embodiment of the present application, in order to make the handle 330 of the pan body 30 operatively at an operating angle of 30-60 degrees with respect to the axis AX of the base 10 or the axis of the cantilever 210, the position of the limiting portion 143c may be set at a position of 30-60 degrees with respect to the axis AX of the base 10 or the axis of the cantilever 210 on the cooking bench 140. In addition, the positioning element 320 of the pan 30 is disposed on the pan body 310 at a position corresponding to the pan handle 320, for example, disposed below the pan body 310 where the pan handle 320 is connected, or formed by extending from the pan handle 320, so as to increase the convenience in operation. Meanwhile, when the number of the limiting portions 143b is plural, the positions thereof may be symmetrically disposed at two opposite sides of the axis AX, i.e., left and right sides, for example, symmetrically disposed at a position having an included angle of 45 degrees, so as to satisfy the requirements of users with different hands. For example, a user using the handle 330 with his/her hand left may use the handle in combination with a left-side limit portion of the axis AX (as shown in fig. 7); a user with a right hand can combine the positioning element of the panhandle with the limiting part on the right side of the axis AX (as shown in fig. 8).

It should be noted that, in other embodiments of the present application, the limiting portion 143c may further include a plurality of sub-units arranged at intervals, for example, in a structure of three grooves as a group, at intervals on top of the outer edge 142 of the cooking bench 140, and the included angles between the outer edge and the axis are respectively 30 degrees, 45 degrees and 60 degrees. In this way, the user can select different placement angles when taking and placing the cookware 30 on the cooking bench 140 according to the habit of taking the angle, so that the use is more convenient.

In addition, as shown in fig. 5a, in the embodiment of the present application, the position where the limiting portion 143c is connected to the top of the outer rim 142 may be set as a rounded corner structure, so that the guiding and positioning member 320 can slide into and be combined with the limiting portion 143c when the pan 30 is placed on the cooking bench 140. For example, in operation, only when the pan 30 is placed, the positioning element 320 on the pan body 310 is contacted with the position adjacent to the limiting portion 143c on the cooking bench 140, and the pan 30 can be prevented from rotating relative to the cooking bench 140 in the horizontal direction by the rounded corner structure and the weight of the pan 30 sliding into the limiting portion 143c and being limited by the concave-convex structure.

In addition, in the present application, for the embodiment in which the limiting parts 143a, 143b, 143c are simultaneously provided at both the outer edge 142 and the inner edge 141 of the hob 140, the bottom and the sides of the pot body 310 of the pot 30 are fixedly limited by the limiting parts 143a, 143b provided at the inner edge 141 in addition to the limiting parts 143c provided at the outer edge 142 in the horizontal direction, wherein the limiting parts 143a located at the bottom surface 1411 of the inner edge are additionally limited by the self-material characteristics and the frictional resistance generated by the self-gravity of the pot 30. Meanwhile, when the lid 20 of the cooking apparatus is closed, the pot body 310 is clamped between the lid 20 and the cooking bench 140 by the lid 220 and the limiting portion 143a of the inner edge bottom 1411, so that the pot 30 is also limited and fixed in the vertical direction of the base 10, thereby avoiding the pot 30 from following and turning left and right along the axis AX in the horizontal direction.

Please refer to fig. 6a and 6b. In another embodiment of the present application, the plurality of limiting portions 143a located at the bottom surface of the inner edge 141 of the cooking bench 140 may also extend along the circumferential direction of the pot and be circumferentially arranged in a strip structure. The circumferential direction of the pan may be regarded as a direction in which the pan may rotate clockwise or counterclockwise relative to the cooking bench 140 on a horizontal plane, so that the limiting portion 143a may form a resistance in the rotation direction of the pan, and the contact area between the two may be increased by the arrangement of the strip structure, so that the situation that the pan rotates along with the cooking bench 140 may be avoided. In addition, the limiting part 143a can also be used as a bottom supporting structure of the cooker on the cooking bench 140, and cooperates with the limiting part 143b with side limit to prevent the cooker from moving on the cooking bench 140. In addition, temperature measuring members 144 may be disposed between the plurality of limiting portions 143a of the inner bottom 1411 of the cooking bench 140 to control the temperature of the cookware during cooking or cleaning. The initial height of the temperature measuring member 144 is slightly higher than the limiting portion 143a, and can be driven by an elastic member disposed at the bottom of the temperature measuring member to displace in the gravity direction. Therefore, when the pan is placed on the cooking bench 140, the temperature measuring member 144 will bear the weight of the pan and shrink inwards towards the bottom surface 1411 of the cooking bench 140, so as to be pressed against the temperature measuring member 144 and the limiting portion 143a located on the bottom surface 1411 at the same time.

Since the temperature measuring members 144 are generally made of metal materials, the friction force between the temperature measuring members and the bottom of the pan is small, and therefore, the arrangement of the limiting portions 143a and 143b can make the arrangement position of each temperature measuring member 144 be on the same axis with one of the limiting portions 143a of the bottom surface 1411 and one of the limiting portions 143b of the side surfaces 1412. For example, between the stopper 143a of the bottom surface 1411 and the stopper 143b of the side surface on the same axis; or the included angle between the two limiting parts 143b arranged on the side face 1412 at intervals is 90 degrees, and the temperature measuring piece 144 is just positioned between the two limiting parts 143 b; or the limiting part 143c positioned on the upper edge 142 and the temperature measuring part 144 are positioned on the same axis, and the influence caused by lower friction force between the temperature measuring part 144 and the cooker is overcome by the limiting effect of the limiting part 143c on the cooker. The foregoing is illustrative only, and is not meant to be limiting.

The following further describes an application scenario of the embodiment of the present application in which a cooking device is a cooker.

In the use of the cooking device, when a user has cooking requirements such as stir-frying or stir-frying, and the like, the cooker can be placed on the cooking bench of the base. The user can selectively place the cookware at the left side or the right side of the axis of the base in a mode that the angle between the cooker handle and the axis is 30 degrees, 45 degrees or 60 degrees according to the using habit of taking the cookware. In the process, a user can manually align and combine the positioning piece with the limiting part on the cooking bench to limit and fix the pot body; or the positioning piece is contacted with the position adjacent to the limiting part, and the positioning piece slides into and is combined with the limiting part through the round-corner guiding structure. At this time, the positioning piece is limited by the structure of the limiting part in the horizontal direction, so that the cooker is prevented from rotating on the cooking bench. Meanwhile, the auxiliary limiting and buffering effects of the limiting parts arranged on the bottom surface and the side surfaces of the inner edge of the cooking bench play a role in absorbing sound and damping, the sound of mutual collision between the cooker body and the cooking bench is reduced, the cooker body is protected, and collision damage is avoided. Then, the user puts the food material into the pot body and closes the pot cover. At the moment, the pot body is clamped by the cover body of the pot cover and the limiting part positioned on the bottom surface of the inner edge, so that the pot is limited and fixed in the vertical direction. Therefore, when a user clicks an operation menu on the display operation panel at the front side of the base and starts a cooking program, a turner arranged on the pot cover rotates in the pot body to run, and the rotation inertia force generated in the horizontal direction when stirring stir-frying food materials is resisted by a limit structure formed between a limit part at the outer edge of the cooking bench and a positioning piece, so that the pot body is prevented from rotating on the cooking bench under the action of the inertia force. Meanwhile, the vibration generated by the impact of the food material on the inner wall surface of the pot body can be absorbed by the limiting part arranged on the inner edge of the cooking bench, so that the occurrence of the bad conditions such as shaking and overturning of the pot body is avoided, and the cooking equipment can stably run to finish the cooking program.

Referring to fig. 3 to 5, in other embodiments of the present application, the limiting portion 143b of the base 10 and the positioning member 320 of the pan 30 may be combined with each other by magnetic force. In this embodiment, one of the limiting portion 143b and the positioning member 320 is a magnet, and the other is a magnet with opposite magnetism, or a magnetic member made of a magnetic material or a metal material that can be attracted by the magnet. In the present embodiment, the limiting portion 143b is used as a magnet, and the positioning member is used as an iron sheet as an example, but not limited thereto. The limiting portion 143b is disposed at the top or inside the outer edge 142 of the cooking bench 140, the positioning members 320 are disposed on the pot body 310 of the pot 30, and the number of the positioning members 320 may be one or more. When the number of the positioning pieces 320 is plural, the setting position of the positioning piece 320 corresponds to the position of the stopper 143 b. Therefore, when the cooker 30 is placed on the cooking bench 140, the positioning member 320 on the cooker body 310 is magnetically attracted to the limiting portion 143 b. At this time, since the positioning member 320 is firmly coupled to the limiting portion 143b, the ability of the cooker 30 to be displaced with respect to the cooking bench 140 (the inertial force rotating along the outer rim 142 at least in the horizontal direction) is lost. Therefore, when the cooker 30 is performing cooking operations such as stir-frying or stirring, the situation that it is rotated along the axis AX or is turned over on the hob 140 can be avoided, so that the cooking operations can be stably performed.

Similar to the above embodiment, the limiting portion 143b and the positioning member 320 may also function to automatically guide the positioning member 320 to be coupled to the limiting portion 143b by being coupled to each other by magnetic force. For example, when the pan 30 is placed on the cooking bench 140, the positioning member 320 on the pan body 310 is only required to contact the position adjacent to the limiting portion 143b on the cooking bench 140, and the positioning member can rotate to the position corresponding to the limiting portion 143b along with the pan body by the magnetic attraction. And after being combined with the limiting part, the pot 30 is blocked from rotating in a horizontal direction relative to the cooking bench 140 by the magnetic force.

In addition, in the use of cooking equipment, because the moisture of food material can evaporate at the culinary art procedure, distribute from the pan to arbitrary opening part, water vapor runs into the part condensation that offsets cold, leads to making the back of a way dish, and the machine is covered with the comdenstion water, and often contains grease in water for the machine surface becomes messy. The condensed water or oil water needs to be collected intensively and flows back effectively, otherwise, a large amount of residual liquid is accumulated on the surface of the machine, which is easy to cause the problems of inconvenient cleaning and long-time easy odor generation of users.

Please refer to fig. 1, 2, 9-11. Therefore, in the embodiment of the present application, a pivot portion 131 is disposed at an end of the upright post 130 of the base 10 away from the base 10 for the rotation shaft and the rotation shaft motor to be engaged, so that the cantilever 210 of the lid 20 is pivoted to the rotation shaft and then carried on the pivot portion 131. And a liquid receiving groove 132 is provided below the pivoting portion 131. The liquid receiving groove 132 may be disposed on a side of the stand 130 facing the cooking bench 140, or may be disposed around the stand 130 along a circumferential direction of the stand 130. In the present embodiment, the liquid receiving groove 132 is disposed on one side of the upright 130 facing the cooking bench 140 and two adjacent opposite sides, and is configured with three surrounding surfaces, but not limited thereto. The notch 1321 of the liquid receiving groove 132 faces the pivot portion 131, and the outer diameter of the notch 1321 is matched with the outer diameter of the end of the cantilever 210 connected to the upright post 130, so that when the cover 220 of the pot cover 20 is opened upwards, the liquid attached to the cover 220 or dropped onto the cantilever is pulled by gravity, and flows into the notch 1321 in a proper manner.

Furthermore, in some embodiments of the application, the top surface 1322 of the liquid receiving trough 132 surrounding the slot 1321 may optionally be configured as a slope that slopes toward the cooktop 140 in the direction of gravity, with an angle of slope between 10 and 30 degrees, such as 10 degrees, 15 degrees, 25 degrees, 30 degrees, or the like. When the pot 310 of the pan 30 is disposed on the cooking bench 140, the height of the pot 310 is slightly higher than the height of the notch 1321 adjacent to one side of the pot 310, for example, the height of the flange 312 surrounding the opening 311 at the opening 311 of the pot 310 on the seat 110 is slightly higher than the height of the notch 1321 on the side toward the pot 310 on the seat 110, wherein the height of the top end (the end near the upright 130) of the inclined surface formed by the top surface of the liquid receiving groove 132 on the notch 1321 on the seat 110 is smaller than or equal to the height of the flange 312 on the seat 110, and the height of the bottom end (the end extending toward the cooking bench 140) of the inclined surface on the seat 110 is smaller than the heights of the top end and the flange 312 on the seat 110, respectively, so that the flange 312 is suspended on the notch 1321. Since the lid 220 of the lid 20 is covered down to the cooking position P1 to be in contact with the flange 312 of the pot 310 during cooking, part of condensed water or oil water or other liquid is accumulated at the position where the flange 312 is in contact with the lid 220 by adhesion and capillary action, and when the lid 220 is moved to the pot-starting position P2 to be separated from the flange 312, the accumulated liquid falls down along the flange 312 toward the outside of the pot 310 by cohesive force and gravity. At this time, by the arrangement that the flange 312 is suspended above the notch 1321, the falling liquid can flow into the liquid receiving groove 132 through the notch 1321, so as to avoid the liquid from dropping onto the cooking bench 140 or the base 110 to cause pollution.

In some embodiments of the present application, an abutment 1323 may be optionally disposed on a side of the liquid receiving groove 132 facing the pot 310, for example, an abutment 1323 may be disposed on a side of the slot 1321 near the pot 310, where a height difference between the flange 312 of the pot 310 and the abutment of the liquid receiving groove is between 3mm and 20mm, for example, 7mm,10mm, 15mm, etc., when the pot 310 is placed on the cooking bench 140, so that a gap may be between the outer surface of the side wall of the pot 310 and the abutment 1323, for example, about 2mm to 10mm, for example, 3mm,5mm, 8mm, etc. The gap is typically less than or equal to the thickness of the film or the diameter of the droplet of liquid formed on the side wall of the pan 310, so that a portion of the liquid flowing down the outer surface of the side wall of the pan 310 can be guided into the slot 1321 by the abutment 1323. In addition, in some embodiments of the present application, the structure of the abutment portion 1323 and the folded edge 312 is matched, for example, an arc structure with a curved surface or a cambered surface, and the curvature or the radian thereof is smaller than that of the folded edge 312, so that the abutment portion 1323 and the folded edge 312 overlap with a larger area in the projection range.

Meanwhile, in some embodiments, a side of the liquid receiving groove 132 facing the cooktop 140 is provided to protrude toward the cooktop 140 and is aligned or partially overlapped with an outer edge 142 of the cooktop 140 in a projection direction. For example, the liquid receiving groove 132 is arranged to be of a stepped structure with a wider upper part and a narrower lower part, so that the side edge or the abutting part 1323 of the notch 1321 positioned on the wider side can be mutually close to the outer edge 142 of the cooking bench 140 in the projection range or extend into the projection range of the folded edge 1323; and when the cover 220 is moved to the pan-lifting position P2, the side edge of the cover 220 adjacent to the side of the liquid receiving groove 132 overlaps the notch 1321 in the gravity direction, so that the liquid attached to the cover 220 can slide down the inner surface 221 of the cover 220 into the notch 1321 under the action of gravity. The side edge of the cover 220 adjacent to the liquid receiving groove 132 may be an outer edge 222 of the cover 220 or an inner edge 223 disposed on an inner surface 221 of the cover 220. The inner edge 223 may be a bead formed by extruding and bending the cover 220 itself and circumferentially surrounding the cover, or a sealing ring made of a material such as silicone or rubber. During cooking, water vapor and oil vapor may accumulate on the inner surface 221 of the lid 20 facing the pot 30 and flow along the inner surface 221 to the inner rim 223 during opening of the lid 20. At this time, the inner edge 223 may play a role in buffering the flow rate of the liquid, and slightly concentrate the liquid and flow toward the direction of the notch 1321 to the liquid receiving tank 132, so as to avoid the liquid from being sprayed shallow to the external environment after striking the wall surface in the liquid receiving tank 132 due to too fast flow rate.

Therefore, in the embodiment of the present application, the top surface 1322 of the liquid receiving groove 132 surrounding the notch 1321 is configured as an inclined surface, so that the notch 1321 is closer to the pot cover 20, and when the cover 220 is at the pot-lifting position P2, the distance between the outer edge 222 or the inner edge 223 of the cover 220 and the notch 1321 is shortened; and the notch 1321 is positioned below the flange 312 at the opening 311 of the pot 310, so that the liquid accumulated on the cover 220 and the flange 312 can be simultaneously contained. In this way, the notch 1321 is prevented from being too high, which is only suitable for containing the liquid accumulated on the cover 220, but not the liquid on the flange 312; and the notch 1321 is too low to be suitable for accommodating the liquid accumulated on the flange 312, but not easy to accommodate the liquid on the cover 220. In addition, some of the liquid may drip from cap 220 to the end of cantilever 210 pivotally connected to post 130 and slide down along end 211. These liquids that slide off the end surface 211 of cantilever 210 fall into well 132 that extends to opposite sides of column 130. Therefore, the liquid receiving tank 132 provided in the embodiment of the application can perform multi-directional liquid collection and anti-fouling functions.

Under an application scene, a user can drive the cover body to turn over between a cooking position and a pot lifting position through a cantilever of the pot cover, so that the cover body can cover downwards in the direction of the cooking bench to close the opening of the pot body so as to cook food materials, or reversely lift the pot body to the pot lifting position to expose the opening of the pot body so as to take out the pot body from the cooking bench. When the user lifts the cover body from the pot body during or after cooking, part of water vapor or oil water accumulated on the folded edge of the pot body flows out towards the liquid receiving groove along the folded edge surface and flows into or drops into the notch of the liquid receiving groove correspondingly under the action of gravity, and part of liquid possibly flows downwards along the outer wall of the pot body and flows in the direction of the notch when contacting with the abutting part of the liquid receiving groove, so that the liquid flows into the liquid receiving groove. Meanwhile, the liquid accumulated on the cover body flows downwards to the inner edge under the action of gravity, is buffered by the inner edge, is intensively guided towards the direction of the notch and flows into the liquid receiving groove through the notch.

Based on the above, after the cooking operation is finished, especially at the moment of taking out the pot, the user does not need to worry about that water vapor or liquid mixed with oil stains can be splashed to cooking equipment or the external environment at will, so that the operation experience of the user is met.

Please refer to fig. 9 and 10. In the aspect of collecting water vapor and liquid doped with oil stains, in the present embodiment, a liquid leakage hole 133 is provided in the liquid receiving tank 132, and a drainage channel 134 is provided in the column 130. The weeping hole 133 is provided at the bottom of the liquid receiving tank 132 along the gravity direction in which the liquid flows downward, and penetrates the bottom of the liquid receiving tank 132. An inlet end 1341 of the drainage channel 134 is connected to the bottom of the liquid receiving tank 132 and communicates with the liquid leakage hole 133; the outlet end 1342 of the drainage channel 134 extends in the direction of gravity or the axial direction of the column 130 and is in communication with the external environment. The liquid receiving groove 132 may be optionally provided with a diversion slope 1324 inclined toward the direction of the liquid leakage hole 133, which may be a bottom surface located in the liquid receiving groove 132 or an inner wall surface of the liquid receiving groove 132. In some embodiments, diversion slope 1324 may be a bottom surface of liquid receiving tank 132 facing one side of cooktop 140, or a bottom surface sloped from an opposite side of liquid receiving tank 132 from upright 130 toward one side of cooktop 140, where diversion slope 1324 may extend to weep hole 133. In other embodiments, the inner diameter of the liquid receiving groove 132 may be tapered from the notch 1321 toward the liquid leakage hole 133, so that the entire wall surface in the liquid receiving groove 132 may be inclined from top to bottom to form the diversion slope 1324. The above is merely illustrative, and not restrictive.

Thus, as liquid flows from slot 1321 into liquid receiving slot 132, it is guided by diversion ramp 1324 to weep hole 133 and into diversion channel 134. The outlet end 1342 of the drainage channel 134 may be connected to a water pipe of the external environment, so that the liquid may be discharged to a corresponding device for purifying or waste treatment. In the embodiment of the present application, a detachable liquid container 135 is optionally disposed at one end of the upright 130 connected to the base 110, so as to collect the liquid flowing into the liquid receiving tank 132. The liquid-containing box 135 is provided with a liquid-collecting opening 1351, which is located corresponding to the outlet end 1342 of the drainage channel 134, and the liquid-collecting opening 1351 is communicated with the outlet end 1342, so that the liquid can flow into the liquid-containing box 135 through the liquid-collecting opening 1351 after flowing out of the outlet end 1342. It can be appreciated that a bevel 1352 inclined toward the inside of the liquid containing box 135 may be further disposed at a position corresponding to the liquid collecting opening 1351 in the liquid containing box 135, so that liquid can better flow into the inner space of the liquid containing box 135, so as to avoid blocking caused by oil stains attached to the liquid collecting opening 1351.

In the application scenario of this embodiment, after the user waits for liquid to flow into the liquid containing box through weeping hole and drainage passageway after liquid flows into the liquid receiving tank, can be after liquid collects a period, only need take out the liquid containing box from the stand, pour out liquid and wash the liquid containing box after, can be with holding liquid and close again to install on the stand. The operation is quite simple and convenient, and the daily maintenance can be completed without cleaning the cooking equipment in a large range.

For cleaning and maintenance of the liquid receiving tank and the drainage channel which are also easy to be polluted by liquid, in some embodiments of the application, the structures such as the liquid receiving tank and the drainage channel for collecting and guiding the liquid can be selectively configured in a detachable mode so as to facilitate disassembly and cleaning.

Please refer to fig. 9 and fig. 11 to fig. 15. In an embodiment of the present application, column 130 includes a post 136 and a deflector bracket 137 that is removable from post 136. The column 136 is disposed on the base 110, and the flow guiding bracket 137 is detachably disposed on one end of the column 136 away from the base 110. Wherein, the flow guiding bracket 137 comprises a sleeve 1371, a liquid receiving groove 132 and a flow guiding pipe 1372. The pivot portion 131 and the liquid receiving groove 132 are disposed on the upper half and the lower half of the sleeve 1371, respectively, and the sleeve 1371 has a socket 1373 for sleeving on the post 136. The liquid receiving groove 132 is provided on the surface of the sleeve 1371, wherein a notch 1321 is provided at the top of the liquid receiving groove 132 such that the notch 1321 is adjacent to the pivoting portion 131, so as to receive the liquid flowing from the pot cover 20 and the pot 30. The liquid leakage hole 133 is eccentrically disposed at the bottom of the liquid receiving groove 132 relative to the sleeve hole 1373 and penetrates through the liquid receiving groove 132, wherein the position of the liquid leakage hole 133 in the liquid receiving groove 132 may be along the gravity direction of the liquid receiving groove 132 or along the axis direction of the sleeve hole 1373, so that the liquid can naturally flow into the liquid leakage hole 133 along with the gravity action when flowing into the liquid receiving groove 132. One end of the flow guide tube 1372 is connected to the position of the bottom of the liquid receiving tank 132 where the liquid leakage hole 133 is provided, and the other end extends along the gravity direction of the liquid receiving tank 132 or the axial direction of the sleeve hole 1373. The drainage channel 134 is disposed in the flow guiding tube 1372, and may be optionally disposed coaxially with the flow guiding tube 1372 or disposed at different axes, depending on the appearance of the flow guiding tube 1372 or the relative position of the liquid collecting port 1351 of the liquid containing box 135.

As described in the previous embodiment, the bottom surface of the liquid receiving tank 132 is provided with a diversion slope 1324 extending toward the liquid leakage hole 133. And, a bending section 1331 and a vertical section 1332 are connected in the weep hole 133. The bent section 1331 and the vertical section 1332 may be formed by extending the bottom surface of the liquid receiving groove 132 into the liquid leakage hole 133 or by extending the diversion slope 1324 into the liquid leakage hole 133. The present embodiment is exemplified by a portion of the bottom surface of the bending section 1331 and the vertical section 1332, wherein the bending section 1331 is connected to the diversion slope 1324, and the vertical section 1332 extends along the gravity direction. In some embodiments of the application, the vertical section 1332 may extend flush with the outer surface of the bottom of the sump 132 or extend beyond the sump 132 and protrude from the bottom of the sump 132 to form a spout structure through which fluid may better flow from the inlet end 1341 of the drainage channel 134. Therefore, in the embodiment in which the vertical segment 1332 protrudes out of the bottom of the liquid receiving groove 132 to form the liquid leakage hole into the pipe orifice structure, the outer diameter of the side of the vertical segment 1332 adjacent to the bending segment 1331 may be set larger than the outer diameter of the side of the vertical segment 1331 far away from the bending segment 1331, so that the liquid leakage hole 133 forms a sharp mouth or funnel structure with a wide outer diameter and a narrow outer diameter at the inlet end 1341 of the drainage channel 134, thereby reducing the contact area of the liquid flowing to the end edge of the liquid leakage hole 133, and enabling the liquid to fall down towards the liquid containing box 135 under the gravity effect more easily, so that the liquid collecting efficiency may be improved.

In the application scenario of the above embodiment, during cooking, the water or the liquid with greasy dirt flowing from the pot cover and/or the pot body into the liquid receiving tank may be guided to the liquid leakage hole through the guiding inclined plane. In the weeping hole, liquid is acted by the round-corner guiding structure of the bending section, and flows into the vertical section in a homeopathic manner. Because the cross section of the liquid leakage hole at the outlet of the vertical section is smaller, the gravity of the liquid is larger than the adhesive force at the outlet, so that the liquid slides down into the drainage channel and flows into the liquid containing box along the drainage channel. At this time, the user can dismantle the washing with flourishing liquid box from the stand to dismantle the washing with water conservancy diversion support from the stand at synchronous or periodic, maintain, make cooking equipment keep clean on whole, satisfy the user's demand.

Another concern over waste management of liquids such as condensed water or oil water for cooking devices, as compared to that described above, is seasoning feed and steam management for cooking devices. At present, most of the charging modes of the cooking equipment are manually or automatically added after a pot cover is opened, and firstly, the scheme cannot be used for centralized management of steam, so that steam water stains are adhered to a base or a cooking bench, and user experience is affected. Secondly, the manual feeding is frequently opened, the dosage cannot be controlled, and the vegetable making experience and the taste are affected.

Therefore, the embodiment of the application also provides a new implementation technical scheme for the seasoning inlet position and the steam management port position of cooking equipment such as a cooker, a cooking machine, a chef machine and the like, so that a user can cook the food more conveniently and cleanly.

Referring to fig. 9, 16 and 17, the cleaning apparatus 1 provided in the embodiment of the present application includes a base 10 and a lid 20, wherein a feeding hole 225 and an air outlet 226 are disposed on an outer surface 224 of a lid 220 of the lid 20, and penetrate through to an inner surface 221 of the lid 220. The cantilever 210 of the lid 20 includes a body 212 and a smoke exhaust tube 213. The front end 2121 of the body 212 is connected to the lid 220, and the rear end 2122 is pivotally connected to the post 130 of the base 10, so that the lid 220 can be closed to a cooking position and lifted to a pot-lifting position above the base 10. Further, a spatula mounting portion 2123 and a feed tube 2124 are provided on the body 212. The spatula mounting portion 2123 is disposed on a bottom surface of the front end 2121 for mounting the spatula assembly to the cantilever 210. The feed end 2124a of the feed tube 2124 is disposed at the rear end 2122 of the body 212 and extends out of the body 212 for receiving flavoring from an external source. The discharge end 2124b of the feed tube 2124 is disposed at the front end 2121 of the body 212 and communicates with the feed aperture 225 for supplying seasoning into the feed aperture for addition to the pot through the feed aperture.

In some embodiments of the present application, the feeding hole 225 and the exhaust hole 226 are disposed on the cover 220, the feeding hole 225 is located in the projection range of the cantilever body 212 of the lid 10 on the horizontal plane, the exhaust hole 226 is square or circular, and the area of the exhaust hole is greater than or equal to 1000 square millimeters for timely exhausting the smoke during cooking. The vent holes 226 are immediately adjacent to the cantilever body 212 of the lid 10, and the feed hole 225 and the vent holes 226 are located on either side of the axis between the front and rear ends of the lid cantilever body 212. The handle 230 is located on the front side of the lid cover 220 with respect to the axis 2123 of the spatula mounting portion, and the feed hole 225 and the exhaust hole 226 are both located on the rear side of the lid cover 220. The feeding hole 225 and the exhaust hole 226 are closely adjacent to and surround the axis 2123, and the distance between the feeding hole 225 and the exhaust hole 226 and the axis 2123 is 30 MM-100 MM, respectively, to prevent interference. Such a location of the exhaust holes 226 may prevent the exhaust gas discharged from the exhaust holes 226 from injuring a cooking user. The feed tube 2124 may be a single tube passing through the body 212 or may be composed of multiple parts. In an embodiment of the present application, feed tube 2124 includes an outer tube 2124c, an inner tube 2124d, and a feed joint 2124e. One end of outer tube 2124c is disposed through rear end 2122 of body 212 and the other end extends out of body 212 as feed end 2124 a. An inner tube 2124d is disposed within lower housing 212a of body 212 and is connected between outer tube 2124a and feed joint 2124e. The feed connector 2124e is disposed in the lower housing 212a and is exposed at the bottom surface of the lower housing 212a for abutting the feed hole 225 on the cover 220. By the above arrangement, the upper housing 212b is removed from the lower housing 212a of the body 212, so that the components of the feed pipe 2124 can be removed and replaced, and the installation, maintenance and cleaning of the feed pipe 2124 are relatively easy and efficient.

In addition, in the embodiment of the present application, the feeding connector 2124e may be, but is not limited to, fastened to the lower housing 212a of the body 212 by a fastener, and the discharging end 2124b located on the feeding connector 2124e is inserted into the feeding hole 225 on the cover 220, so that the flavoring can be fed into the pot 310 through the feeding pipe 2124, thereby completing the flavoring operation. Because the opening of the pot cover 20 is not involved in the process, the frequency of manually opening the pot cover 20 can be reduced, the adding amount of the flavoring is controlled, meanwhile, the water vapor in the pot body 310 is prevented from escaping, the water proportion can be kept, and the cooking taste is maintained.

As shown in fig. 18 and 19. Meanwhile, at the installation positions of the feed connector 2124e and the feed inlet 225 corresponding thereto, the feed connector 2124e and the smoke exhaust pipe 213 are respectively disposed at two opposite sides of the slice mounting portion 2123, so that the feed connector 2124e and the smoke exhaust pipe 213 are respectively disposed at two sides of the axis of the body 212 (or the axis of the slice mounting portion 2123). At the same time, the feed port 225 and the exhaust port 226 on the cover 220 are also located on opposite sides of the turner mounting 2123 to interface with the feed connector 2124e and the exhaust tube 213, respectively. Therefore, without contacting the centrally located spatula mounting portion 2123, the feed fitting 2124e and the feed opening 225 may be positioned closer to the horizontal and vertical axes of the spatula mounting portion 2123, preventing the addition of flavoring to the outer rim of the pan body 310, thereby avoiding uneven stirring that may affect the mouthfeel of the cooking. At the same time, the seasoning is prevented from flowing to the exhaust port 226 by the upward air flow, and is prevented from drifting to the external environment.

Please refer to fig. 16, 17 and fig. 20 to 23. The smoke evacuation tube 213 is disposed immediately adjacent the front end 2121 of the body 212, corresponds to a side 2125 of the exhaust port 226, and is detachably coupled to each other by a mating connector. For example, in some embodiments of the application, a mating magnet and iron plate, or a magnetically attractive magnet and mating magnet may be provided between the smoke evacuation tube 213 and the side 2125 of the body 212 to magnetically attach the smoke evacuation tube to the side 2125. In other embodiments of the present application, a mating catch and catch groove may be provided between the smoke tube 213 and the side 2125 of the body 212 to secure the smoke tube 213 to the body 212 by a snap-fit mechanism. In the present embodiment, the magnet 2131 provided on the smoke exhaust pipe 213 and the mating magnet 2 magnetically attracted to the main body 212 are taken as examples, but the present application is not limited thereto.

The smoke exhaust pipe 213 includes a flue 2132 and a magnet 2131, and a flue rubber coating 2133 is coated on the flue 2132, and the magnet 2131 is disposed on the surface of the flue 2132 and embedded in the flue rubber coating 2133, thereby forming an outwardly protruding bump 2134 on the surface of the flue 2132. Meanwhile, the side 2125 of the body 212 is correspondingly provided with a groove 2125b, so that the smoke exhaust pipe 213 and the side 2125 of the body 212 can be combined with each other through the concave-convex matching structure of the convex block 2134 and the groove 2125b, and the purpose of blocking the displacement of the smoke exhaust pipe 213 along the axial direction of the body 212 is achieved, so that the smoke exhaust pipe 213 and the air exhaust port 226 are prevented from being deviated from each other and cannot be butted. Further, the projection 2134 is provided with a guide slope 2134a in the axial direction of the flue 2132 and a slope 2125c which is fitted to the guide slope 2134a is provided in the groove 2125 b. Therefore, when the smoke exhaust pipe 213 is combined with the side 2125 of the body 212, the inclined guide surface 2134a and the inclined plane 2125c are attached to each other in the concave-convex structure along the axial direction of the smoke exhaust pipe 213 to provide vertical limitation, so as to limit the displacement of the smoke exhaust pipe 213 along the axial direction thereof, and prevent the smoke exhaust pipe 213 from being pulled away from the air outlet 226. Based on the above, the smoke exhaust pipe 213 can be correctly and stably mounted on the side 2125 of the body 212 by the front and rear limit and the upper and lower limit of the concave-convex structure, so that the smoke generated in the cooking process is intensively exhausted through the air exhaust port 226 and the smoke exhaust pipe 213.

Second, in some embodiments of the present application, a sealing ring 214 is provided at the end of the smoke exhaust tube 213 facing the exhaust port 226, which may be, but is not limited to, formed by extending the flue encapsulation 2133. The sealing ring 214 is provided with a flange 2141 inclined on the surface thereof, and extends from the end of the smoke exhaust pipe 213 at a certain angle. When the smoke exhaust pipe 213 is combined with the body 212 and is abutted against the air outlet 226, the surface of the cover 220 is abutted against the outer periphery of the air outlet 226 through the sealing ring 214, and the flange 2141 is embedded into the air outlet 226, so that the smoke exhaust pipe 213 and the air outlet 226 form end face sealing. In this process, the smoke exhaust pipe 213 is pulled down toward the exhaust port 226 by the downward force of the vertical inclined plane formed when the inclined guide surface 2134a and the inclined plane 2125c are attached to each other in the concave-convex structure, so that the smoke exhaust pipe 213 is attached to the surface of the cover 220 to form an airtight structure, thereby achieving the purpose of concentrated emission of smoke.

Furthermore, the overall height of the smoke exhaust tube 213 on the cover 220 can be set to be a distance d higher than the height of the body 212 on the cover 220, so that the concentrated smoke can be smoothly exhausted from the smoke exhaust tube 213 and dissipated to the external environment without the smoke flowing into the body 212, so as to avoid leaving dirt on the body 212 to affect the user experience. In some embodiments, to avoid harm to a cooking user from smoke in the smoke exhaust duct 213, the smoke exhaust duct 213 extends upward from the air outlet 226 by a predetermined height in the range of: 50 MM-150 MM, preferably 75MM, which extends to a height greater than the height of the lid cantilever body 212.

In addition, in the above embodiment, since the smoke exhaust pipe 213 and the body 212 are limited by the magnetic attraction and the concave-convex structure, the smoke exhaust pipe 213 can be detached for cleaning after cooking. In some embodiments of the present application, the pressing portion 2135 is selectively disposed at an end of the smoke exhaust tube 213 away from the exhaust port 226, and extends a predetermined distance along the radial direction of the smoke exhaust tube 213, so that the pressing portion 2135 can drive the smoke exhaust tube 213 to separate from the body 212 and the exhaust port 226 at the same time, thereby facilitating the removal and taking of the smoke exhaust tube 213.

Please refer to fig. 24 and 25. The pot cover according to another embodiment of the present application is substantially identical to the pot cover according to the above embodiment in terms of structure, and the difference between the two is that in this embodiment, a detection module is disposed on the body 212 of the cantilever 210, and a to-be-detected element matched with the detection module is disposed on the smoke exhaust pipe 213, where the detection module is used for sensing the to-be-detected element and identifying whether the smoke exhaust pipe 213 is combined with or separated from the body 212. Thus, the detection module and the element to be detected may be, but are not limited to, disposed within mating embossment structures between the side 2125 of the body 212 and the smoke evacuation tube 213, e.g., the detection module is disposed within the lower housing 212b of the body 212 at a location corresponding to the recess 2125b, and the element to be detected is disposed on the side of the smoke evacuation tube 213 where the protrusion 2134 is formed. And, the detection module may be, but is not limited to, a photoelectric sensor, a hall sensor, a micro switch, and the like. The element to be detected may be a corresponding reflector, magnet and contact point.

In the present embodiment, the detection module is the hall sensor 215 and the element to be detected is the magnet 2131, but not limited thereto. When the cooking process is performed, if the smoke exhaust pipe 213 is not installed on the air exhaust port 226, the hall sensor 215 located in the body 212 cannot detect the magnet 2131 on the smoke exhaust pipe 213, so that the detected hall voltage is low, and then the pop-up window is jumped out on the display operation panel of the base after receiving the signal, so as to remind the user to install the smoke exhaust pipe 213, and the user can select to skip or install in time and then continue cooking. When the smoke exhaust pipe 213 is installed, the hall sensor 215 detects that the hall voltage is high, so that a popup window does not occur, and the user can use the smoke exhaust pipe normally. By the configuration mode, a user can be prompted when a cooking program which is easy to generate a large amount of oil smoke is performed, and the user can install the smoke exhaust pipe 213 in real time, so that the smoke management is convenient.

Please refer to fig. 26 to 29. The cover 20 provided in the embodiment of the present application may further optionally provide a handle 230 on the cover 220, so that the cover 220 may be detachably combined with the body 212 of the cantilever 210, so as to facilitate the disassembly and cleaning of the cover 220. The cover 220 is provided with a mounting hole 227, the handle 230 is correspondingly disposed on the mounting hole 227, and the turner mounting portion 2123 on the body 212 is coupled to the handle 230 and engaged in the mounting hole 227.

The handle 230 includes a housing 231 and two support arms 232 that are retractable with respect to the housing 231. Meanwhile, two fulcra 2121a for mating with the two support arms 232 are provided at the front end 2121 of the body 212, respectively on opposite sides of the turner mounting portion 2123. The handle 230 may extend toward the front end 2121 of the body 212 through two support arms 232 and be coupled to corresponding fulcrums 2121a to complete the mounting of the cover 220 on the cantilever 210; or the two support arms 232 are retracted toward the housing 231 to be separated from the corresponding fulcrums 2121a for removing the cover 220 from the cantilever 210.

The housing 231 of the handle 230 is provided with a pressing portion 233 and an installation seat 234, the pressing portion 233 is used for driving the two support arms 232 to stretch and retract relative to the housing 231, and the installation seat 234 is used for being combined by a turner installation portion 2123 on the body 212. The two support arms 232 are provided in pairs on the housing 231. Each support arm 232 includes a slide bar 2321, a spring 2322, and a lever 2323. One end of the sliding rod 2321 is arranged in the mounting seat 234 in a penetrating manner, and the other end of the sliding rod 2321 extends out of the mounting seat 234. The elastic member 2322 and the shift lever 2323 are disposed within the housing 231. One end of the elastic member 2322 is fixed in the housing 231, and the other end corresponds to the sliding rod 2321, and blocks the sliding rod 2321 from shrinking inwards towards the mounting seat 234, so that the sliding rod 2321 is kept in a state of extending out of the mounting seat 234 normally. The shift lever 2323 is pivotally provided in the housing 231 and is rotatable in the horizontal direction. One end of the shift lever 2323 contacts one side of the end surface of the slide bar 2321 away from the elastic member 2322, and the other end extends toward the pressing portion 233.

When an external force is applied to the pressing portion 233, the pressing portion 233 pushes the shift lever 2323 toward the mounting seat 234, so that the shift lever 2323 rotates reversely in the horizontal direction, and thus pushes against the end surface of the sliding rod 2321, driving the sliding rod 2321 to retract toward the mounting seat 234, and compressing the elastic member 2322. When the external force is released from the pressing portion 233, the sliding rod 2321 is pushed by the elastic restoring force of the elastic member 2322, and extends out of the mounting seat 234, and drives the shift lever 2323 to reversely rotate in the horizontal direction, so as to restore to the initial state. Therefore, the quick-release arrangement described above allows easy and quick removal of the cover 220 from the cantilever 210.

In other embodiments of the present application, a groove 2123a extending in the axial direction may be selectively provided in the spatula mounting portion 2123, and a clip 2121b and a bump 2121c may be provided on each of the fulcrums 2121a on both sides. At the same time, a positioning member 2341, such as a slider, is provided on the mounting seat 234 of the cover 220 to match the groove 2123a, and a guide surface 2321a is provided obliquely at an end of the slide bar 2321 extending out of the mounting seat 234. By the arrangement of the above structure, the cover 220 may be coupled to the body 212 of the cantilever 210 by a bottom-to-top assembly.

In operation, the cover 220 is inserted into the groove 2123a of the spatula mounting portion 2123 by the positioning member 2341 of the mounting seat 234, and the cover 220 is forced to the top by the guide of the groove 2123a in the axial direction of the spatula mounting portion 2123. When the sliding bar 2321 contacts the fulcrum 2121a, the guide surface 2321a of the sliding bar 2321 is pushed by the bump 2121c of the fulcrum 2121a, causing the sliding bar 2321 to retract toward the mount 234. As the cover 220 moves upward continuously, when the guide surface 2321a of the sliding rod 2321 passes through the bump 2121c of the pivot 2121a, the sliding rod 2321 is pushed by the elastic restoring force and extends toward the pivot 2121a, so that one end of the sliding rod 2321 provided with the guide surface 2321a is correspondingly engaged in the clamping groove 2121b of the pivot 2121 a. At this time, the cooperation of the positioning member 2341 and the two fulcrums 2121a forms a three-point support, so that the cover 220 and the turner mounting portion 2123 form a complete stress field, and the cover 220 is supported not to fall down, thereby achieving the purpose that the cover 220 is mounted on the cantilever 210.

When the user needs to take down the cover 220 for maintenance and cleaning, only the pressing portion 233 at the front end of the handle 230 needs to be lightly pressed, and the push portion 233 pushes the shift lever 2323 to rotate around the rotation center thereof, so as to drive the slide bar 2321 to move backward and compress the elastic member 2322. At this time, the sliding rod 2321 is retracted from the clamping groove 2121b on the cantilever 210, so that two supporting points of the cover 220 are lost, and the cover 220 is removed. After cleaning, the cantilever 210 may be returned in the manner described above.

Therefore, in the present embodiment, in a state of a certain inclination angle, the cover 220 is easily installed by pushing the cover upward with force along the direction of the front end 2121 of the cantilever 210, and the pressing portion 233 of the handle 230 is easily detached for cleaning, so that a user can have a better experience when cooking.

Please refer to fig. 18, 22, 30 and 31. It should be noted that in some embodiments of the present application, the cover 220 further includes a flat region 240 and a bending region 250. The flat region 240 is a relatively flat and planar region of the cover 220 with respect to other regions, and the flat region 240 extends outward in a horizontal direction (radial direction) from the center of the cover 220. The bending region 250 surrounds the periphery of the flat region 240 and is bent toward the base 10, thereby forming a region having an arc on the cover 220. By providing the flat area 240, it is easier to guide and recycle the condensed water on the cover 220 during the cooking process. And, the components connected with the cover 220 can be better arranged on the cover 220, such as the handle 230, the cantilever 210, the turner assembly 40, and the like. Simultaneously, the smoke exhaust pipe 213 and the feeding connector 2124e can be better positioned on the cover 220 accurately, and the sealing effect can be ensured after the smoke exhaust pipe 213 and the feeding hole are in butt joint, so that a reliable, sealed and concentrated smoke exhaust structure is finally formed.

In addition, in the application of other embodiments of the present application, the configuration mode of the cover 220 can also be used to quickly guide the water drops of the stains remained on the cover 220 into the pot 310 through the radian portion of the bending area 250, so as to perform the functions of convenient collection and pouring. Meanwhile, in the uncapping state, the position of the liquid receiving groove 132 arranged on the upright post 130 of the base 10 can be matched by adjusting the proportion of the flat area 240 to the bending area 250. Therefore, the water drops formed on the cover 220 after the cooking process is finished gradually gather from the flat area 240 to the edge bending area 250, and finally flow downwards into the liquid leakage hole towards the liquid receiving groove 132 through the diversion of the inner edge 223 (such as a sealing ring) arranged in the bending area 250, so as to finally achieve the purpose of collecting and recycling the liquid on the cover 220.

In some embodiments of the present application, the cover 220 includes a concentric flat region 240 and a inflection region 250, with the dosing aperture 225 and the vent aperture 226 being located within the flat region 240. When the square aperture of the vent 226 is sufficiently large, the vent 226 may extend from the flattened area 240 to the inflection area 250, but the vent 226 is at least partially located in the flattened area 240. To ensure stability of the cover 220 and water vapor reflux inside, the flat area 240 has a diameter ranging from 150mm to 200mm, for example 165mm,170mm, 190mm, etc. In the ring formed by flattened region 240 and inflection region 250, the diameter of the flattened region is greater than or equal to half the maximum diameter of the ring of inflection regions. The inflection region 250 is curved toward the base 10 with a radius of curvature greater than that of the base.

In some embodiments of the present application, the cross-section of the cover 220 is circular arc-shaped, and the radius of curvature of the circular arc ranges from 350mm to 1500mm, such as 400mm,670mm, 1250mm, etc.

It will be appreciated that in the use of cooking apparatus, in addition to the technical problems of waste liquid recovery and fume extraction accumulated on the pot cover, another technical problem that is notable is the cleaning procedure in the pot body. For example, in the current automatic frying pan, after the customers finish cooking, a great amount of residual greasy dirt and residues on the inner cavity of the pan body and the pan cover need to be cleaned by the customers. In this regard, embodiments of the present application also provide a cleaning apparatus in which a spatula assembly is configured for cooking and adapted to perform cleaning of the interior of a pot.

As shown in fig. 29 and 32, the cooking apparatus 1 provided in the embodiment of the present application includes a pot body 310, a pot cover 20, and a slice assembly 40. In some embodiments of the present application, the cooking apparatus 1 may further comprise a base 10 for carrying the pot 310. The cover 220 of the pot cover 20 is driven by the cantilever 210 to cover or lift the pot body 310, when the cover 220 covers the pot body 310, the inner cavity of the pot body 310 forms a closed space for cooking food materials, namely a cooking cavity. The spatula assembly 40 is disposed on the lid 20, extends into the cavity of the body 310 when the lid 20 is closed to the body 310, for stirring food and brushing the bottom 313, inner wall 314 and inner surface 221 of the lid 20 after the cooking process is completed. In addition, in some embodiments of the present application, the cooking apparatus 1 may be an intelligent internet of things terminal apparatus including a control module. The control module may be, but is not limited to, a computer readable storage medium containing a computer program which, when executed, is capable of implementing the steps in the self-cleaning method and the control method of the cooking apparatus provided by the embodiments of the present application. Accordingly, embodiments of the present application may be provided as a method, system, or computer program product; may take the form of an entirely hardware embodiment, an entirely software embodiment or an embodiment combining software and hardware aspects. Wherein the computer program product may also be in the form of a computer program product embodied on one or more computer-usable storage media (including, but not limited to, disk storage, CD-ROM, optical storage, etc.) having computer-usable program code embodied therein. In one typical configuration, a computing device includes one or more processors (CPUs), input/output interfaces, network interfaces, and memory. The memory may include volatile memory in a computer-readable medium, random Access Memory (RAM) and/or nonvolatile memory, etc., such as Read Only Memory (ROM) or flash memory (flash RAM), etc. The foregoing is merely illustrative of possible forms and compositions of the control module, but is not limited thereto.

In the embodiment of the present application, the cantilever 210 of the pot cover 20 is driven by the control module to swing, so that the cover 220 is opened and closed on the pot body 310, and the turner assembly 40 is driven to move, wherein the control module can adaptively adjust the movement mode of the turner assembly 40 according to the menu content intelligently selected by the user or the control module before the cooking device 1 is started, for example, the menu stored in the cooking device 1 or the menu obtained from the internet, so that the turner of the turner assembly 40 can be matched and operated in multiple modes such as revolution, rotation, lifting and the like in the pot body 310, and a self-cleaning operation procedure of 360 degrees without dead angles in the pot body 310 is realized.

Please refer to fig. 33 to fig. 36. The turner assembly 40 is positioned in the cooking cavity, and the turner assembly 40 includes a drive 410, a turner 420, a transmission 430, and a lifting device 440. The driving device 410 is in driving connection with the turner assembly and is used for driving the turner 420 to rotate; illustratively, the drive apparatus 410 includes a rotary mechanism and a first power take-off shaft 412. The rotation mechanism includes a rotation motor 411 and a pulley, the rotation motor 411 is disposed in a slice mounting portion 2123 at the front end of the cantilever 210, one end of the first power output shaft 412 is connected to the rotation motor 411 through the pulley, and the other end passes through the cover 220 and is connected to the slice 420 at one side of an inner surface 221 of the cover 220. The control module is electrically connected to the driving device 410 and the lifting device 440, and is used for selectively starting the driving device 410 and/or the lifting device 440 to move according to the cooking conditions, and adaptively controlling the rotation speed and/or the lifting speed of the turner 420. For example, the rotating motor 411 is started to drive the first power output shaft 412 to rotate, so that the turner 420 is driven to revolve in the pan body 310 through the first power output shaft 412. In this process, the driving device 410 synchronously starts the transmission device 430 to drive the turner 420 to rotate in the pan body 310. This is further described below.

The lifting device 440 is disposed on the cover 220 and is in driving connection with the turner 420, and the lifting device 440 can drive the turner 420 to perform lifting movement between a first position and a second position relative to the pan body 310.

When the turner 420 is in the first position, the turner 420 is in abutting contact with the inner surface of the cover 220; under the drive of the drive device 410, the turner 420 can clean the inner surface of the cover 220 in the first position; when the turner 420 is in the second position, the turner 420 is out of contact with the inner surface of the cover 220. Illustratively, the first position may be the highest position where the turner 420 is raised and the second position may be the lowest position where the turner 420 is lowered.

When the turner 420 is in the first position, the turner 420 is in clearance fit or interference fit with the inner wall surface 314 of the pan body 310, and the turner 420 is in clearance fit or interference fit with the bottom surface of the pan body 310. When the turner 420 is in the second position, the turner 420 is in interference fit with the inner wall surface 314 of the pan body 310, and the turner 420 is in interference fit with the bottom surface of the pan body 310. When the turner 420 is in the second position, the turner 420 can clean the bottom surface and the inner wall surface 314 of the pan body 310 in the second position under the driving of the driving device 410. When the turner 420 is in the second position, the turner 420 is in interference contact with the bottom surface and the inner wall surface 314 of the pan body 310, and can clean the bottom surface and the inner wall surface 314 of the pan body 310 in the first position. Thus, at least it may be achieved that when the spatula 420 is raised to the first position, the lid 220 is cleaned by the spatula 420, and when the spatula 420 is lowered to the second position, the lid 310 is cleaned by the spatula 420. Thus, the turner 420 can clean the cooking container, and simultaneously, the turner 420 is prevented from being always contacted with the cover 220 and the pan body 310 and being always worn, so that the service life of the turner 420 is further affected. Slice 420 includes a support 421, a stirring slice 422, and an auxiliary slice 423. The bracket 421 is connected to the cover 220, the stirring shovel 422 and the auxiliary shovel 423 can be respectively arranged on the bracket 421, and the stirring shovel 422 and the auxiliary shovel 423 can both rotate relative to the cover 220; the rotation axis of the stirring blade 422 is parallel to and spaced apart from the rotation axis of the auxiliary blade 423. Further, the rotation axis of the auxiliary shovel 423 may coincide with the central axis of the cover 220. That is, the rotation center of the auxiliary blade 423 is located at the rotation center of the cover 220, and when the auxiliary blade 423 rotates, the inner surface of the cover 220 can be cleaned uniformly in the circumferential direction of the cover 220.

The support 421 is provided with a main shaft hole 4211 and a sub shaft hole 4212 (as shown in fig. 38) arranged at intervals, and the first power output shaft 412 of the driving device 410 is locked on the support 421 through the main shaft hole 4211, so that the support 421 can rotate under the driving of the first power output shaft 412 with the main shaft hole 4211 as an axis. The stirring shovel 422 is connected to the bracket 421 at a position corresponding to the auxiliary shaft hole 4212 through a second power output shaft 431, wherein the second power output shaft 431 may be formed by extending from one end of the stirring shovel 422 connected to the bracket 421 and be a part of the stirring shovel 422; or one of the components belonging to the transmission 430, is externally coupled to the stirring blade 422.

The stirring blade 422 may include a stirring portion 4222 and a connection portion connecting the stirring portion 4222 to the lid 220, the stirring portion 4222 facing the bottom surface and the inner wall surface 314 of the pot 310 when the lid 220 is closed to the pot 310. Specifically, the connection portion may be a rod 4221 and a stirring portion 4222, one end of the rod 4221 is connected to the support 421, the stirring portion 4222 is connected to one end of the rod 4221 away from the support 421, and extends outward along a radial direction on two opposite sides of the rod 4221, and an extending distance of one side of the rod 4221 at least can cover the spindle hole 4211 in a projection direction, for example, the extending distance extends to a connection portion between the auxiliary shovel 423 and the support 421, so that when the stirring shovel 422 rotates in the pot body 310, a central area and a peripheral area in the pot body 310 can be considered. The stirring portion 4222 may be, but not limited to, a sheet-like structure formed by reversely bending opposite sides of the rod body 4221, and an elastic body such as a resin, a rubber, or a combination thereof is coated on the stirring portion 4222 so that the stirring portion can be bent and deformed when being abutted against the hard material, and a part of the stirring portion is abutted against the hard material. Therefore, in the present embodiment, when the lid 220 is covered on the pan body 310, the stirring portion 4222 is in interference fit with the bottom surface 313 and the inner wall surface 314 in the inner cavity of the pan body 310, and when the stirring portion 4222 is in contact with the bottom surface 313 and the inner wall surface 314 in the pan body 310, it is pressed to be bent and deformed, and is abutted against the bottom surface 313 and the inner wall surface 314.

During movement of the turner 420 from the first position to the second position, the second actuator 4232 increases in interference with the sides of the pan 310. During movement of the turner 420 from the first position to the second position, the amount of interference of the agitation portion 4222 with the bottom surface of the pan 310 increases.

The auxiliary shovel 423 is connected to the support 421 at a side where the spindle hole 4211 is provided, so that the auxiliary shovel 423 and the stirring shovel 422 are respectively located at two opposite sides of the spindle hole 4211. The auxiliary blade 423 includes a first executing portion 4231 and a second executing portion 4232. When the cover 220 is covered on the pan body 310, the first executing portion 4231 faces the inner surface of the cover 220, and the second executing portion 4231 faces the inner wall surface 314 of the pan body 310, and the first executing portion 4231 extends from the rotation axis of the auxiliary shovel 423 to the edge of the cover 220 in the radial direction. The first actuator 4231 and the second actuator 4232 may be integrally formed, or may be formed separately, and both may be L-shaped. The first executing portion 4231 extends outwards along the radial direction of the support 421, and the second executing portion 4232 is connected to an end of the first executing portion 4231 extending outwards, that is, to an end of the first executing portion 4231 far from the support 421, and extends along the axial direction of the spindle hole 4211 on the side of the support 421 where the stirring blade 422 is disposed, so that the horizontal positions of the second executing portion 4232 and the stirring blade 422 are located on the same side of the support 421. Therefore, when the cover 220 is covered on the pan body 310, the auxiliary blade 423 faces the inner surface 221 of the cover 220 with the first executing portion 4231 and faces the inner wall surface 314 of the pan body 310 with the second executing portion 4232. Similarly, the first executing portion 4231 and the second executing portion 4232 are respectively coated with an elastomer, so that the first executing portion 4231 and the second executing portion 4232 are respectively configured on the auxiliary shovel 423 in a form similar to a scraper or a scraping strip, and can be respectively contacted with the inner surface 221 of the cover 220 and the inner wall surface 314 of the pot 310 in an interference fit manner.

In the process that the turner 420 descends from the first position to the second position, the interference magnitude between the turner 420 and the inner wall surface 314 and the bottom surface of the pan body 310 is increased, that is, the contact pressure between the turner 420 and the inner wall surface 314 and the bottom surface of the pan body 310 is increased, it is understood that the greater the contact pressure between the turner 420 and the inner wall of the pan body 310 is, the better the scraping effect on the inner wall of the pan body 310 is when the turner 420 rotates, and the greater the contact pressure between the turner 420 and the inner wall of the pan body 310 is when the pan body 310 is filled with clear water or cleaning liquid or steam to clean the pan body 310 is. Therefore, the contact pressure of the turner 420 and the pot 310 is controlled to be lifted by the lifting device 440, so that the cooking apparatus can be operated in different cleaning modes or different cooking modes.

In some embodiments, when the turner 420 is in the first position, the first implement 4231 is in interference contact with the inner surface of the cover 220, which may be controlled to be [0.05mm,5mm ], preferably, the interference is controlled to be [0.1mm,3.5mm ].

When the spatula 420 is in the first position, the second actuating portion 4232 is held against the inner wall surface 314 of the pot 310, the actual position may be separate, may be against, may be in interference, and the gap between the second actuating portion 4232 and the side of the pot 310 is maintained at [ -2mm,2mm ], preferably the gap is maintained at [ -1mm,2mm ].

When the spatula 420 is in the first position, the stirring portion 4222 is maintained against the bottom surface of the pot 310, the actual position may be separated, may be against, may be in interference, and the gap between the stirring portion 4222 and the bottom surface of the pot 310 is maintained at [ -1.5mm,1.5mm ], preferably, the gap is maintained at [ -0.8mm,0.8mm ].

When the turner 420 is in the second position, the first actuator 4231 is completely disengaged from the inner surface of the cover 220, the clearance is controlled to be [0.5mm,6mm ], preferably, the value is controlled to be [1mm,3mm ];

when the spatula 420 is in the second position, the second actuating portion 4232 is held against the inner wall surface 314 of the pan body 310, the actual position can be against and can be in interference with the gap between them being controlled at [ -2mm,0mm ], preferably at [ -1mm,0mm ].

When the spatula 420 is in the second position, the stirring portion 4222 remains in interference with the bottom surface of the pot 310, the interference being controlled to be [0.5mm,6mm ], preferably, the value being controlled to be [0.5mm,3mm ]. It should be noted that, in the embodiment of the present application, the sum of the length of the second executing portion 4232 of the auxiliary shovel 423 extending along the axial direction and the height of the stirring portion 4222 on the bottom surface 313 of the pan body 310 exactly matches the height of the inner wall surface 314 of the pan body 310 along the axial direction. Therefore, when the turner 420 is driven by the first power output shaft 412 to rotate in the pan body 310, the contact area between the second executing portion 4232 and the stirring portion 4222 may encircle the entire inner wall surface 314. In this embodiment, the sum of the extension length of the second actuator 4232 and the height of the stirring portion 4222 is larger than the height of the inner wall surface 314, so that the second actuator 4232 partially overlaps the stirring portion 4222 in the axial direction. In some embodiments of the application, the sum of the extension length of the second actuator 4232 and the height of the agitation portion 4222 is exactly equal to the height of the inner wall surface 314. In other embodiments of the present application, the second executing portion 4232 and the stirring portion 4222 may be separated by a gap in the axial direction, and then be driven up and down by the lifting device 440 to achieve the effect of full contact with the inner wall surface 314.

Meanwhile, the connection between the second executing portion 4232 and the first executing portion 4231 may have an excessive arc angle, so that the structural configuration of the connection may be consistent with or adapted to the arc angle of the bending region 250 of the cover 220. As such, when the spatula 420 rotates within the pot 310, the bottom surface 313 of the pot 310 may be covered by the stirring portion 4222 of the spatula 422, the inner wall surface 314 of the pot 310 may be covered by the second and stirring portions 4232 and 4222, and the inner surface 221 of the pot cover 20 may be covered by the first and second actuating portions 4231 and 4232, thereby covering all surfaces in the inner cavity of the pot 310. Besides better stirring food materials in cooking, the multifunctional food cleaning machine can also have an omnibearing cleaning effect in a subsequent cleaning procedure. In the embodiment of the present application, the slice assembly 40 is located inside the pan body 310 and can rotate under the driving of the driving device 30 to stir the food materials in the pan body 310. The drive device 30 is drivingly coupled to the turner assembly 40 via a first power output shaft 412 to drive rotation of the turner assembly 40 about an axis of rotation (i.e., the revolution axis in fig. 39).

In order to avoid the influence of high temperature on the service life and the pollution of the driving device 30 caused by oil stain splashing, in the embodiment of the application, the driving device 30 can be arranged on the outer side of the pot cover 20, and the pot cover 20 is provided with a abdication hole for the output shaft of the driving device 30 to pass through to be connected with the turner assembly 40.

Referring to fig. 33 and 39 in combination, in an embodiment of the present application, the slice assembly 40 includes an auxiliary slice 423, the auxiliary slice 423 has a scraping arm 4233 and an extension arm 4234, and the scraping arm 4233 abuts against the inner wall of the pot body 310 and contacts with the inner wall of the pot cover 20. In this embodiment, the auxiliary shovel 423 may be substantially elongated, such as an elongated rod shape or an elongated plate shape. The vegetable scraping arm 4233 contacts with the inner wall of the pot cover 20, and when the driving device 30 drives the auxiliary shovel 423 to rotate, the vegetable scraping arm 4233 rotates to scrape food residues, oil stains and the like on the inner wall of the pot cover 20, so as to achieve the purpose of cleaning the pot cover 20.

To better stir and stir-fry the food materials, in some embodiments, the auxiliary shovel 423 further has a cleaning function, specifically, the scraping arm 4233 has a lateral scraping edge 4233a and a vertical scraping edge 4233b connected to each other, and the lateral scraping edge 4233a contacts the inner wall of the pot cover 20 to scrape the food material residue and oil stain on the inner wall of the pot cover 20 to clean the pot cover. The vertical scraping edge 4233b extends downwards from the transverse scraping edge 4233a and abuts against the inner side wall of the pot body 310, so as to stir food materials in the pot body.

In order to scrape the food adhered to the inner side wall of the pan body 310, the food is stirred by the stirring shovel 422, or the food on the inner side wall of the pan body 310 is scraped to achieve the cleaning purpose, in an embodiment, the vertical scraping edge 4233b is in contact with the inner side wall of the pan body 310.

In order to better fit the shape of the pot and achieve a better scraping effect, in an embodiment, the top surface of the lateral scraping edge 4233a is in profiling arrangement with the inner wall of the pot cover 20, wherein profiling means that the shape of the top surface of the lateral scraping edge 4233a is matched with the shape of the inner wall of the pot cover 20, and the whole top surface of the lateral scraping edge 4233a is completely fit with the inner wall of the pot cover 20, so that the auxiliary shovel 423 can scrape the whole inner wall of the pot cover 20 by the lateral scraping edge 4233a in the rotating process. Similarly, the side surface of the vertical scraping edge 4233b and the inner wall of the pot body 310 are also in a profiling arrangement, that is, the side surface shape of the vertical scraping edge 4233b is matched with the shape of the inner wall of the pot body 310.

In addition, the lateral scraping edge 4233a and the vertical scraping edge 4233b are smoothly connected through arc edges so as to be capable of contacting with the junction of the pot body 310 and the pot cover 20 and scraping food at the junction of the pot body 310 and the pot cover 20.

To avoid the scraping pot 310 and the pot cover 20, in one embodiment, the scraping arm 4233 is provided with a second elastic body 4236, and the scraping arm 4233 is contacted with the inner wall of the pot 310 and the pot cover 20 through the second elastic body 4236. Alternatively, the second elastic body 4236 may be integrally injection-molded with the main body of the wiper arm 4233. Wherein the second elastomer 4236 is preferably a soft rubber; the main body of the vegetable scraping arm 4233 is made of hard rubber, so that the strength is ensured. The mode of integral injection molding can reduce installation and simultaneously avoid the separation of two connected components.

Referring to fig. 39 and 40 in combination, in the embodiment of the application, the auxiliary shovel 423 further has an extension arm 4234, the vegetable scraping arm 4233 and the extension arm 4234 are respectively disposed on two sides of the rotation axis, the extension arm 4234 is provided with a protrusion structure 4235, and the protrusion structure 4235 abuts against the inner wall of the pot cover 20.

In the embodiment of the application, when the turner assembly 40 is in a state of cleaning the pot cover 20, the vegetable scraping arm 4233 of the auxiliary turner 423 is contacted with the inner wall of the pot cover 20 to clean the pot cover 20. In the direction that the extension arm 4234 approaches the pot cover 20, another protrusion structure 4235 is extended, and in synchronization, the protrusion structure 4235 is also in contact with the inner wall of the pot cover 20, when the reaction force generated by the pot cover 20 pushes down the vegetable scraping arm 4233, the extension arm 4234 located at the other side of the rotation axis has a tendency to tilt upwards, so that the protrusion structure 4235 always abuts against the inner wall of the pot cover 20, and the force of the pot cover 20 on the vegetable scraping arm 4233 is balanced. Through the design of the scheme, when the turner assembly 40 is used for cleaning the pot cover 20, the stress at the two ends is kept balanced, and the protruding structures 4235 of the auxiliary turners 423 of the turner assembly 40 are always in a contact state with the inner wall of the pot cover 20, so that a better effect of cleaning the pot cover 20 is achieved. The slice assembly 40 fully utilizes the balance of the auxiliary slice 423 to realize the complete and reliable contact between the auxiliary slice 423 and the inner wall of the pot cover 20, thereby fundamentally avoiding the unilateral side tilting problem caused by processing errors and installation errors in structural design.

Meanwhile, the balanced protrusion structures 4235 and the vegetable scraping arms 4233 are distributed on two sides of the rotation axis, the balanced protrusion structures 4235 also allow for cleaning of the pot cover 20, and the extension arms 4234 can be arranged to be shorter and close to the position of the rotation axis, so that the positions where the vegetable scraping arms 4233 cannot be cleaned are cleaned, and the positions are mutually compensated. Therefore, through the left-right balance design, the problem that the vegetable scraping arm 4233 brought by single-side tilting cannot be completely and reliably contacted with the pot cover 20 is solved, and meanwhile, the cleaning capacity of the auxiliary shovel 423 on the sanitary dead angle is enhanced.

In some embodiments, the extension arm 4234 has a predetermined length in the horizontal direction that is less than or equal to the length of the lateral scraping edge 4233a of the scraping arm 4233. The horizontal spacing of the protrusion 4235 from the axis of rotation is less than or equal to the horizontal spacing of the lateral scraping edge 4233a of the scraping arm 4233 from the axis of rotation. In other embodiments, the extension arm 4234 comprises a horizontal extension portion with a protrusion 4235 disposed thereon, the protrusion 4235 on the horizontal extension portion contacting the inner wall of the lid 20, and a vertical extension portion (not shown) abutting the inner wall of the pot 310; the extension arm 4234 has the same structure as the wiper arm 4233, and is symmetrical about the rotation axis.

In some embodiments, the protrusion structures 4235 and the second elastic bodies 4236 are distributed on two sides of the rotation axis and respectively abut against the inner wall of the pot cover 20. During the rotation of the turner assembly 40, the protrusion structure 4235 forms a circular first movement track on the inner wall of the pot cover 20, the second elastic body 4236 forms a circular second movement track on the inner wall of the pot cover 20, and the projection of the first movement track and the projection of the second movement track on the plane are at least partially overlapped.

In some embodiments, the protrusion structures 4235 are elongated, and the length direction of the protrusion structures 4235 is along the width direction of the extension arms 4234 and extends to two opposite sides of the extension arms 4234 in the width direction. In other embodiments, the length of the protrusion 4235 is along the length of the extension arm 4234, such that when the extension arm 4234 rotates about the rotation axis, the protrusion 4235 has a larger radius of action and may scrape the inner wall of the pot cover. Of course, in other embodiments, the protrusion 4235 may be point-shaped, such as cylindrical or hemispherical.

The extension arm 4234 may be provided with a plurality of protrusion structures 4235, where the plurality of protrusion structures 4235 are arranged in a matrix, ring, or linear configuration, and for example, the plurality of protrusion structures 4235 may be arranged at linear intervals along the length direction of the extension arm 4234.

The vegetable scraping arm 4233 and the extension arm 4234 are separately provided at both sides of the rotation axis, including the following cases: the wiper arm 4233 and the extension arm 4234 extend in opposite directions, i.e. at an angle of 180 ° therebetween. Alternatively, the wiper arm 4233 and the extension arm 4234 are provided separately on both sides of the rotation axis, further including the following cases: the wiper arm 4233 and the extension arm 4234 extend generally in opposite directions with an included angle of approximately 180 °, such as, but not limited to 160 °, so long as the two are capable of maintaining a force balance. To achieve force balance, the wiper arm 4233 is prevented from tilting downward, so the angle between the wiper arm 4233 and the extension arm 4234 is set to be greater than 90 °. In other embodiments, the spatula assembly 40 includes at least one spatula arm 4233 and/or at least one extension arm 4234, e.g., the spatula assembly 40 includes one spatula arm 4233 and one extension arm 4234, the spatula arm 4233 and extension arm 4234 forming a straight line. Alternatively, the spatula assembly 40 includes two spatula arms 4233 and two extension arms 4234, the spatula arms 4233 and extension arms 4234 forming a cross-shaped auxiliary spatula 423. In addition, the spatula assembly 40 may further include a plurality of spatula arms 4233 and extension arms 4234, wherein the plurality of spatula arms 4233 and extension arms 4234 are radially arranged about the rotation axis. Optionally, the plurality of vegetable scraping arms 4233 and the extending arms 4234 are uniformly distributed along the circumferential direction of the rotation axis, and the vegetable scraping arms 4233 and the extending arms 4234 are alternately arranged, so that the formed auxiliary shovel 423 is symmetrical in shape, and the auxiliary shovel 423 rotates around the rotation axis as the center more stably.

The shape of the extension arm 4234 includes, but is not limited to, block, plate, rod, cylinder, and furthermore, the extension arm 4234 may be uniform in length and width, or the extension arm 4234 may be formed in a long strip shape with a length much greater than the width.

To avoid abrasion to the lid 20, in an embodiment, at least part of the protrusion structure 4235 is configured as a first elastic body 4235b, and the protrusion structure 4235 abuts against the inner wall of the lid 20 through the first elastic body 4235b. In this embodiment, the first elastic body 4235b includes, but is not limited to, silica gel, rubber, or silicone rubber. At least, the portion of the protrusion structure 4235 contacting the inner wall of the pot cover 20 is a first elastic body 4235b.

In one embodiment, a portion of the protrusion structure 4235 is a hard structure, and another portion is a first elastic body 4235b, specifically, the protrusion structure 4235 includes a connection protrusion 4235a and a first elastic body 4235b, the connection protrusion 4235a is connected with the extension arm 4234, and the first elastic body 4235b wraps the connection protrusion 4235a. Wherein the connection protrusion 4235a is provided in a hard structure, such as hard adhesive, to secure strength. The first elastic body 4235b is a soft rubber. The first elastic body 4235b wraps the outer side surface of the entire connection protrusion 4235a, and the rigid connection protrusion 4235a is completely prevented from directly contacting the pot cover 20, thereby preventing the pot cover 20 from being worn.

To facilitate the installation of the first elastic body 4235b, in one embodiment, the extension arm 4234 is provided with a mounting groove (not shown) surrounding the connection protrusion 4235a, and an edge of the first elastic body 4235b is engaged with the mounting groove. The mounting groove can provide a positioning and limiting effect on the first elastic body 4235b, reducing the possibility of movement of the first elastic body 4235b. Meanwhile, after the edge of the first elastic body 4235b is embedded into the mounting groove, the edge of the first elastic body 4235b is fixed, the contact area between the first elastic body 4235b and the extension arm 4234 is large, and the fixing effect is good. Further, the first elastic body 4235b and the extension arm 4234 may be integrally formed. In other embodiments, the first elastomer 4235b integrally covers the outer surface of the extension arm 4234 and the connection boss 4235a, and the integrally wrapped structure reduces the gap, which is beneficial to improving the cleaning effect of the turner assembly 40.

Optionally, the connection boss 4235a is integrally formed with the extension arm 4234. For example, the connection boss 4235a and the extension arm 4234 are both injection molded using hard plastic. Of course, in other embodiments, the attachment boss 4235a and the extension arm 4234 may each be made of stainless steel.

In another embodiment, the entire protrusion structure 4235 is the first elastic body 4235b. The entire protrusion structure 4235 may be integrally injection molded with the extension arm 4234. To ensure strength, the extension arms 4234 are not deformed by compression, in one embodiment, the extension arms 4234 are molded from hard plastic.

In one embodiment, the extension arms 4234 are shorter in length to reduce material usage. Meanwhile, the protrusion structure 4235 is arranged on the shorter extension arm 4234 and is close to the center of the pot cover 20, so that food residues at the center position can be cleaned, and the food residues at the position where the vegetable scraping arm 4233 is difficult to clean can be cleaned. Of course, in other embodiments, the length of the extension arm 4234 may be consistent with the wiper arm 4233.

Further, the cooking apparatus further includes a stirring blade 422 mounted on the extension arm 4234, the stirring blade 422 being located below the extension arm 4234. The stirring shovel 422 is positioned at the bottom of the pot body 310 and is used for stir-frying food in the pot body 310. The shape of the stirring blade 422 may be a long strip or a cross shape, etc.

The stirring blade 422 has two movement states, and in the first movement state, the stirring blade 422 rotates together with the auxiliary blade 423, that is, the auxiliary blade 423 rotates around the rotation axis (revolution axis in fig. 2) to drive the stirring blade 422 to revolve together. In the second movement state, the stirring shovel 422 itself also rotates around the rotation axis relative to the auxiliary shovel 423, and the rotation axis is parallel to the revolution axis, both along the up-down direction. The stirring shovel 422 rotates and revolves, the rotation radius is inconsistent, the stirring range is different, and the food materials at the bottom of the pot body 310 can be well turned. In this case, the rotation and revolution may be performed simultaneously, or only one of them may be performed, for example, the rotation and revolution may be performed alternately.

In the embodiment of the present application, the protrusion structures 4235 are provided at positions between the rotation axis and the revolution axis. Specifically, the auxiliary shovel 423 is provided with a rotation hole 4237, the stirring shovel 422 is provided with a second power output shaft 431 matched with the rotation hole 4237, and the second power output shaft 431 can rotate relative to the rotation hole 4237, so that the stirring shovel 422 rotates. The protrusion 4235 may partially overlap the rotation hole 4237 in the rotation axis direction.

The embodiment of the present application further provides a turner assembly 40, and the detailed structure of the turner assembly 40 is referred to the above embodiment, and will not be described herein.

In order to make the cleaning effect of the turner 420 on the pan body 310 and the cover body 220 better, the turner 420 may be coated with an elastomer, where the elastomer may include a first elastic portion for the first executing portion 4231, where the first elastic portion is used to make scraping contact with the inner surface of the cover body 220; and/or, the second executing portion 4232 comprises a second elastic portion for scraping contact with the inner wall surface 314 of the pan body 310; and/or, the stirring portion 4222 comprises a third elastic body for scraping contact with the inner wall surface 314 of the pan body 310 and the bottom surface of the pan body 310. The first elastic portion and the second elastic portion may be integrally formed to form the second elastic body 4236.

As shown in fig. 39 and 41, the first actuator 4231 comprises a first rigid body, and the first elastic portion is wrapped on the outer surface of the first rigid body; the second actuator 4232 comprises a second rigid body, and the second elastic portion is wrapped on the outer surface of the second rigid body. The first rigid body and the second rigid body may be integrally formed, and the first rigid body and the second rigid body may be integrally die-cast formed, so that reliable strength and hardness are ensured, and the service life of the auxiliary shovel 423 is prolonged. The first elastic part and the second elastic part can be integrally injection-molded and coated on the first rigid body and the second rigid body. The cross-sectional shapes of the first and second execution portions 4231 and 4232 may be the same. And the cross-sectional shapes of the first and second execution portions 4231 and 4232 may be the same throughout.

The first elastic portion is provided with a first elastic contact portion J1 at a position for contacting the inner surface of the cover 220, and a distance H1 from the first elastic contact portion J1 to the first rigid body is greater than distances (W2, W3) from other positions on the first elastic portion to the first rigid body in a cross section of the first actuator 4231. Therefore, when the cover 220 is cleaned, the first executing portion 4231 is not easy to deform completely due to the first rigid body, and the first executing portion 4231 is well attached to the cover 220 due to the first elastic portion, so as to ensure the cleaning effect. The distance H1 from the first elastic contact portion J1 to the first rigid body is greater than the distances (W2, W3) from other positions on the first elastic portion to the first rigid body, so that a side of the first executing portion 4231 contacting the cover 220 has a better deformation space, and further the cleaning effect is improved.

The width W1 of the first elastic contact portion J1 should be suitable, and the width W1 should not be too large, so that the friction coefficient between the auxiliary shovel 423 and the cover 220 and the inner sidewall 314 of the pan 310 is not too large, so that the resistance between the auxiliary shovel 423 and the cover 220 and the inner sidewall 314 of the pan 310 is small, and the smoothness of rotation is ensured. The width W1 of the first elastic contact portion J1 is also not preferably too small to improve the wear resistance of the auxiliary blade 423. Based on this, the width W1 of the first elastic contact portion J1 may be in the range of [0.1mm,2mm ], and preferably, the W1 is controlled in the range of [0.1mm,1mm ].

In some embodiments, the distance H1 of the first resilient contact J1 to the first rigid body may be in the range of [2mm,20mm ], preferably the H1 range is controlled in the range of [2mm,18mm ].

In some embodiments, the distance W2 from the side of the first elastic portion to the first rigid body ranges from [0.5mm,5mm ], preferably, the W2 range is controlled to [0.5mm,3mm ].

In some embodiments, the first elastic portion has a width W3 in the widest range of [3mm,15mm ], preferably, the W3 range is controlled to [5mm,12mm ].

The second elastic portion is formed with a second elastic contact portion at a position for contacting with the inner wall surface 314 of the pot body, and a distance from the second elastic contact portion to the second rigid body is greater than a distance from other positions on the second elastic portion to the second rigid body in a cross section of the second actuator 4232. In this embodiment, the cross-sectional structures of the second elastic portion and the second rigid body may be the same as the cross-sectional structures of the first elastic portion and the first rigid body, and reference may be made to the cross-sectional structure shown in fig. 41. Therefore, the structures of the second elastic portion and the second rigid body are not described herein.

FIG. 42 is a cross-sectional view of a stirring blade of a turner provided in an embodiment of the present application. Similarly, the stirring portion 4222 includes a third rigid body 4222a, and a third elastic body 4222b is coated on the outer surface of the third rigid body 4222 a. The stirring portion 4222 is formed with a third elastic contact portion J3 at a position for contacting with the bottom surface of the pot body 310, and a distance H2 from the third elastic contact portion J3 to the third rigid body is greater than a distance from the other position on the third elastic body to the third rigid body in a cross section of the stirring portion 4222. Therefore, one side of the stirring part 4222 contacting the pot body 310 has a better deformation space, and the cleaning effect is further improved.

Specifically, the widest width W4 of the third elastic body 4222b of the stirring portion 4222 is in the range of [3mm,15mm ], preferably, the W4 range is controlled to be in the range of [3mm,10mm ]; in some embodiments, the distance H2 of the third elastomer 4222b of the agitation portion 4222 to the third rigid body ranges from [3mm,25mm ], preferably, the H2 range is controlled to [3mm,20mm ].

Referring to fig. 33, 34, 36-38. The stirring shovel 422 and the auxiliary shovel 423 can be meshed and driven through a planetary gear set; the planetary gear set 432 includes a sun gear connected to the auxiliary blade 422 and a planetary gear connected to the auxiliary blade 423, and rotates the auxiliary blade 423 when the sun gear receives rotational power and rotates the auxiliary blade 422 while revolving around the rotation axis of the auxiliary blade 423.

Specifically, the transmission 430 of the turner assembly 40 is disposed on the support 421 of the turner 420. The transmission 430 includes a planetary gear set 432 and a second power output shaft 431 (in embodiments where the mixing blade 422 is self-contained, the transmission 430 may not include the second power output shaft 431). The planetary gear set 432 includes a sun gear 4321 and a planetary gear 4322, which are respectively disposed on the support 421 at positions corresponding to the main shaft hole 4211 and the auxiliary shaft hole 4212, and gears of the sun gear 4321 and the planetary gear 4322 are engaged with each other, so that one can drive the other to rotate. The first power output shaft 412 is disposed through the sun gear 4321 and is coupled to the spindle hole 4211, and the axis of the first power output shaft 412 may be used as a revolution axis; the second power output shaft 431 is disposed through the planetary gear 4322 and is coupled to the auxiliary shaft hole 4212, and the axis of the second power output shaft 431 may be used as a rotation axis. Thus, the bracket 421 is driven to rotate by the rotating motor 411 through the first power output shaft 412; at this time, the sun gear 4321 rotates along with the first power output shaft 412, so that the planetary gear 4322 rotates in the opposite direction and drives the second power output shaft 431 to rotate, thereby enabling the stirring shovel 422 and the auxiliary shovel 423 to revolve along with the support 421 and enabling the stirring shovel 422 to rotate on the support 421.

Therefore, when the turner 420 rotates in the pan body 310 along the circumferential direction of the pan body 310, the stirring turner 422 can perform static stirring in the pan body 310 along with the support 421 in a revolution manner, and also perform dynamic stirring in a rotation manner, so that food materials can be prevented from being excessively concentrated in a central area or dispersed in a peripheral area in the pan body 310 during stirring, and a more uniform stirring effect is provided. Furthermore, with the revolution characteristic of the auxiliary shovel 423 along with the bracket 421, the food splashed in the stirring process and attached to the inner wall surface can be scraped off, so that the food falls back into the stirring area of the stirring shovel 422, and the situations of partial food waste or uneven doneness can be avoided.

Please refer to fig. 33. The lifting device 440 is connected to the driving device 410, and is used for driving the turner 420 to lift or lower along the axial direction of the first power output shaft 412 (i.e. the axial direction of the spindle hole 4211) in the pan body 310. The lifting device 440 may include a cam lifting mechanism, a screw lifting mechanism, a rack and pinion lifting mechanism, etc., and in this embodiment, the lifting device 440 includes a cam 441, a cam motor 442, and a reset element 443, but is not limited thereto.

The cam 441 is disposed at the tip of the connection member (first power output shaft 412) within the body 212 of the cantilever 210, and has a near rest point 4411 and a far rest point 4412 on the circumference of the cam 441. The cam motor 442 is electrically connected to the cam 441 for driving the cam 441 to rotate, so that the near rest point 4411 and the far rest point 4412 can alternately contact the connecting piece (the first power output shaft 412) to provide a displacement stroke of the first power output shaft 412 in the axial direction. The reset element 443 is arranged between the bracket 421 and the connecting piece, and the deformation direction of the reset element 443 is consistent with the moving direction of the connecting piece; when the far rest point of the cam 441 abuts against the connecting piece, the reset element 443 is in a deformed state; when the cam 441 rotates from the far rest point to the near rest point and abuts against the connecting piece, the deformation of the reset element 443 gradually decreases.

Specifically, the reset element 443 can be sleeved on the first power output shaft 412, which can be but is not limited to a pre-compression spring or an extension spring, so that the first power output shaft 412 is pulled by the reset element 443, is normally maintained at the first predetermined position, and can be displaced to the second predetermined position under the pushing of the cam 441. In this embodiment, the first predetermined position is a position where the turner 420 approaches toward the lid 20 and contacts or abuts against the inner surface 221 of the lid 220, and the second predetermined position is a position where the turner 420 approaches toward the bottom surface 313 of the pot 310 and contacts or abuts against the bottom surface 313 of the pot 310. In some embodiments of the present application, the first predetermined position and the second predetermined position may also be opposite to the present embodiment, and thus are not limited to the illustrated embodiment.

With the above-mentioned configuration of the lifting device 440, when the cam 441 is driven by the cam motor 442, the cam 4412 contacts the first power output shaft 412 at the far rest point, so that the first power output shaft 412 is pressed to drive the turner 420 to descend to the second predetermined position, and the reset element 443 is forced. Therefore, when the cam motor 442 drives the cam 441 to rotate and contacts the first power output shaft 412 at the near rest point 4411, the elastic restoring force of the restoring element 443 drives the first power output shaft 412 to move toward the first predetermined position, thereby driving the turner 420 to rise and restore to the first predetermined position.

In this way, in the cooking apparatus 1 provided by the embodiment of the present application, besides the two-dimensional stirring and cleaning modes provided by the stirring shovel 422 and the auxiliary shovel 423 of the turner 420, the stirring shovel 422 and the auxiliary shovel 423 can also rise or fall in the pan body 310 along the axis direction through the arrangement of the lifting device 440, so as to provide a multi-dimensional operation mode of 360-degree circular motion, and realize the stirring and cleaning of the interior 360-degree dead angle-free pan body 310.

In an application scenario, after the user operates the cooking apparatus 1 to complete the cooking procedure, a cleaning mode may be selected on the display operation panel 120 to clean the inner cavity of the pot body 310. When the lid 220 of the lid 20 is covered on the pot 310, the second actuator 4232 of the auxiliary blade 423 contacts the inner wall 314 of the pot 310, and the stirring portion 4222 of the stirring blade 422 contacts the bottom 313 of the pot 310 and the inner wall 314 adjacent to the bottom 313. At this time, water is injected into the pan body 310, and the rotation motor 411 is started, so that the first power output shaft 412 drives the stirring blade 422 and the auxiliary blade 423 of the stirring blade 420 to revolve in the pan body 310, and the bottom surface 313 and the inner wall surface 314 of the pan body 310 are cleaned in the circumferential direction. Meanwhile, under the operation of the planetary gear set 432, the stirring shovel 422 is driven by the second power output shaft 431 to rotate in the pot body 310, so that the inner wall surface 314 and the bottom surface 313 of the pot body 310 are cleaned in a circumferential direction. In addition, the stirring shovel 422 and the auxiliary shovel 423 are respectively in interference fit with the bottom surface 313 and the inner wall surface 314 of the pot body 310, so that attachments can be scraped off on the bottom surface 313 and the inner wall surface 314, and a better cleaning effect is provided.

While the turner 420 is rotated and cleaned, the turner 420 can be driven to lift in the pan body 310 by the lifting device 440. When the cam 441 is driven by the cam motor 442 to move to the near-rest point 4411, the first power output shaft 412 drives the stirring shovel 422 to move upwards under the elastic restoring force of the restoring element 443. At this time, the first actuating portion 4231 of the auxiliary shovel 423 is in interference fit with the inner surface 221 of the cover 220, thereby scraping and cleaning the oil or water vapor attached to the cover 220. When the cam 441 moves to the far rest point 4412, the first power take-off shaft 412 pushes the return element 443 and moves the turner 420 downward. At this time, the stirring shovel 422 is in interference fit with the bottom surface 313 of the pot body 310, so that the bottom surface 313 of the pot body 310 is scraped and cleaned. After the turner 420 moves downward, the pressure applied to the cover 220 by the first executing portion 4231 of the auxiliary turner 423 is released, so that the rotation resistance of the stirring turner 422 during the cleaning task can be reduced, and the cleaning efficiency can be improved.

As shown in fig. 33 and 36, in some embodiments of the present application, an elastic member 433, such as a spring or a leaf spring, may be optionally provided on the second power output shaft 431. In this embodiment, the elastic member 433 is sleeved on the second power output shaft 431 in the form of a pre-compression spring, and opposite ends of the elastic member 433 respectively abut against the bracket 421 and the rod 4221 of the turner 420. Therefore, when the lifting device 440 drives the turner 420 to descend to the second predetermined position in the pan body 310, and the stirring portion 422 contacts the bottom 313 of the pan body 310, the elastic member 433 is simultaneously acted by the downward pressure of the bracket 421, and applies the elastic restoring force to the rod 4221, so that the stirring portion 422 abuts against the bottom 313 of the pan body 310. Similarly, when the lifting device 440 drives the turner 420 to rise to the first predetermined position in the pan body 310, the bracket 421 is acted by the elastic restoring force of the restoring element 443, so that the stirring portion 422 contacts the bottom 313 of the pan body 310; meanwhile, the first actuating portion 4231 of the auxiliary shovel 423 abuts against the inner surface 221 of the cover 220. Therefore, for some food materials that are easy to be dipped or stuck during cooking, the stirring shovel 422 and the auxiliary shovel 423 can have a strong scraping effect on the cleaning of the pot body 310 and the pot cover 20 through the above configuration mode. The quality of dishes can be ensured and the pot burning is avoided except in the cooking process; the cleaning device can provide strong brushing effect in the cleaning process after cooking, and ensure cleaning quality. In some embodiments of the present application, to mitigate scraping damage of the bottom surface 313 and the inner wall surface 314 by the turner 420, the pressure of the stirring portion 422 against the bottom surface 313 or the inner wall surface 314 of the pan 310 is less than or equal to 10 newtons (N) when the turner 420 is in the first predetermined position, the second predetermined position, or a position therebetween.

There is also provided in some embodiments a cooking apparatus comprising: the cooking container comprises a pot body and a cover body, wherein the cover body is covered on the pot body to form a cooking cavity; the turner assembly is positioned in the cooking cavity and comprises a turner and a lifting device; the lifting device is arranged on the cover body and is in driving connection with the turner, and the lifting device can drive the turner to perform lifting movement between a first position and a second position relative to the pan body; when the turner is positioned at the first position, the turner is in fit contact with the inner surface of the cover body; when the turner is in the second position, the turner is out of contact with the inner surface of the cover body.

There is also provided in some embodiments a cooking apparatus comprising: the cooking container comprises a pot body and a cover body, wherein the cover body is covered on the pot body to form a cooking cavity; the turner assembly is positioned in the cooking cavity and comprises a turner and a lifting device, wherein the turner comprises an auxiliary turner which can be contacted with the cover body and a stirring turner which can be contacted with the bottom surface of the pan body; the lifting device is arranged on the cover body and is in driving connection with the turner, and the lifting device can drive the turner to perform lifting movement relative to the pan body.

In addition, based on the liftable turner 420, the cooking effect and the user experience are further improved.

In some embodiments, a hall element and a magnet may be mounted on the stirring blade 422, specifically, a magnet may be mounted on the stirring portion 4222, a hall element may be mounted on the rod body 4221, or a hall element may be mounted on the stirring portion 4222, and a magnet may be mounted on the rod body 4221, so that the stirring portion 4222 may position itself during rotation, thereby longitudinally cutting a food material at a specific position by controlling lifting at a specific position.

Assuming that the hall element detects once, it represents one rotation of the stirring portion 4222, the rotation speed of the stirring portion 4222 at present can be calculated by using the time interval of the two detections, and then the rotation angle in the next rotation period can be calculated according to the running time, so as to accurately position the stirring portion 4222.

Further, the rotational speed may be updated once every time the stirring portion 4222 rotates, and thus the real-time rotational speed may be obtained, and the accuracy of positioning the stirring portion 4222 may be improved.

In some embodiments, an infrared sensor camera may be further installed on the cover 220, so that the infrared sensor camera can obtain a heat map of heating food materials in the pot in real time, and then a place where the food materials are unevenly heated can be calculated according to the heat map. The stirring portion 4222 is controlled to be lifted and then lowered at a place with uneven heating to select the dispersed food material, so that the dispersed food material can be heated uniformly. Further, the stirring portion 4222 can be controlled to perform lifting and rotating actions at the heated non-uniform area, so that the heated non-uniform area is scraped, and the heated non-uniform portion is precisely stir-fried, so that the heated non-uniform portion is heated uniformly.

The inventors have also found through creative work that the mouthfeel of the cooked dishes is related to the speed and time of stirring of the spatula. Therefore, the stirring speed of the stirring shovel is dynamically adjusted according to the embodiment of the application. Specifically, a pressure sensor may be provided at the stirring portion 4222; alternatively, means for detecting motor current may be provided at the drive motor of the spatula assembly 40, with greater drive motor current and greater pressure being applied to the stirring portion 4222.

Based on the above, the rotation speed and the elevation of the stirring blade 422 are controlled, and a pressure sensor is designed for example in the stirring portion 4222.

When the pressure applied to the stirring shovel 422 is detected to be too high, the rotation speed of the stirring shovel 422 can be reduced firstly, then the stirring shovel 422 is driven to rise, then the rotation speed of the stirring shovel 422 is slowly increased, the stirring shovel 422 is lowered after the preset time (which can be a few seconds) passes, at this time, the pressure applied to the stirring shovel 422 is detected, and when the pressure is in a normal range, normal stirring is continued. If the pressure is high, the above actions can be repeated, and when the number of times of calibration is too large or the rotation speed of the stirring shovel 422 is too small, an alarm signal can be sent out (an alarm device can be arranged on the cooking equipment) so as to prompt a user that the stirring shovel is blocked. When the pressure applied to the stirring shovel 422 is detected to be too small, the rotation speed of the stirring shovel 422 can be increased, then the stirring shovel 422 is driven to descend, the pressure applied to the stirring shovel 422 is detected, and when the pressure is in a normal range, normal stirring is continued. If the pressure is smaller, the above actions can be repeated, and when the calibration times are too many or the rotation speed of the stirring shovel 422 is too large, an alarm signal can be sent out (an alarm device can be arranged on the cooking equipment) to prompt a user that no food material exists in the pot body in an empty pot state. Thereby, safety and efficiency of cooking using the cooking apparatus are improved.

On the other hand, the cooking device with the self-cleaning mode needs to provide a plurality of cleaning modes because of different food materials and different degrees of greasy dirt and food material residues caused in the pot body by different cooking modes, so that a user can select according to the requirements, or the corresponding cleaning mode is selected according to the content of a menu selected by the user through a control module of the device, thereby achieving the aim of cleaning and meeting the requirements of the user.

The self-cleaning method and the control method of the cooking device and/or the intelligent internet of things terminal device are further described below through some method embodiments.

Please refer to fig. 43. In the use of the intelligent internet of things terminal device provided by the embodiment of the application, after the user covers the pot cover, the user can click a menu through the display operation panel on the base, and at this time, the control module loads corresponding cooking parameters according to the menu selected by the user, for example, parameters such as the cooking time, the turning mode of the turner, the revolution speed, the rotation speed of the stirring shovel, the estimated steam quantity, the water supply quantity of the water supply module, the heating quantity of the temperature control module and the like according to the quality and the duty ratio of various main food materials and ingredients. And then starting the devices and the modules to perform synergistic action so as to cook the main food materials.

After the cooking of the main food materials is completed, the control module can send a signal to inform the user that the cooking of the food materials is completed through the display operation panel, and remind the user that the cooking is about to take the food. Then, after the user covers the pot cover on the pot body again, the control module judges that the cooking program is finished, the lifting device is started, the turner is moved to a first preset position in the pot body, and the stirring turner of the turner is in interference fit with the bottom surface of the pot body (S100). Then, the control module starts the driving device to drive the stirring shovel and the auxiliary shovel of the turner to revolve in the pot body by taking the first power output shaft as the axis, so that the inner wall surface and the bottom surface of the pot body are cleaned along the circumferential direction of the pot body (S110). Meanwhile, the transmission device can be linked by the driving device, so the driving device is used for starting the transmission device to drive the stirring shovel to rotate in the pan body by taking the second power auxiliary shaft as the axis, and the bottom surface of the pan body is cleaned along the axis direction of the pan shovel (S120). In the process, residues adhered to the inner wall surface can be removed strongly through the interference fit characteristic of the side edge of the stirring shovel and the second executing part of the auxiliary shovel and the inner wall surface of the pot body. Meanwhile, through the interference fit characteristic of the stirring part of the stirring shovel and the bottom surface of the pot body, the stirring part is in interference contact with the bottom surface of the pot body, and the purpose of removing residues strongly can be achieved. In addition, the stirring part can be driven by the lifting device to move towards the bottom surface of the pot body as far as possible, so that the stirring part is abutted against the bottom surface of the pot body under the action of the downward pressure, a rotating cleaning mode with a stronger force channel is provided, and residues which are difficult to clean are removed from the bottom surface.

And after the preset cleaning times are finished, the control module stops the turning of the turner, and the self-cleaning procedure is finished.

In the above process, the control module can further control the water injection of the pot body by the corresponding starting water-consistent module according to the difficulty degree of sticking the main food materials and ingredients to the bottom surface and the inner wall surface of the pot body in the cooking process, and the heating of the injected water by the starting temperature-control module is convenient for generating steam in the pot body so as to soften residues stuck to the bottom surface and the inner wall surface. The slice can remove the residues more easily, thereby accelerating the cleaning speed and improving the efficiency. In addition, it can be understood that, in the self-cleaning method or the control method according to the embodiments of the present application, the starting position of the cleaning program may be the first cleaning position or the second cleaning position, and the two positions may be interchanged, which is not limited to the manner of starting from the first cleaning position and then moving to the second cleaning position in the above embodiments.

In addition, after the self-cleaning procedure for the inner wall surface and the bottom surface of the pot body is finished, whether the pot cover needs to be cleaned in a proper way can be judged according to the requirements of users or the selection of menus. In the cleaning procedure involving the pot cover, the turner can simultaneously clean the bottom surface, the inner wall surface and the inner surface of the pot cover, and the difference is that the cleaning strength of the inner surface of the pot cover is emphasized. Similarly, the lifting device is started by the control module to drive the turner to move to a second preset position, so that the auxiliary turner is in interference fit with the inner surface of the pot cover. At the moment, the first executing part of the auxiliary shovel is in interference contact with the inner surface of the pot cover, and the side edges of the stirring part of the second executing part and the stirring shovel are simultaneously in contact with the inner wall surface of the pot body. Therefore, when the control module starts the driving device to drive the stirring shovel and the auxiliary shovel to revolve, the inner wall surface of the pot body and the inner surface of the pot cover can be cleaned simultaneously along the circumferential direction of the pot body, and if the first executing part is driven by the lifting device to be abutted against the inner surface of the pot cover, the cleaning strength of the pot cover by the stirring shovel can be improved. In the process, the driving device synchronously starts the transmission device to drive the stirring shovel to rotate, so that the stirring shovel cleans the bottom surface of the pot body along the axis direction of the pot body, and the 360-degree all-around and dead-angle-free cleaning effect of the stirring shovel and the auxiliary shovel on the cleaning area in the pot body is realized.

Please refer to fig. 44. The control method of the cooking equipment provided by one embodiment of the application comprises the following steps:

the degree of contamination in the pot body is judged, and a normal cleaning process or an enhanced cleaning process is selected according to the degree of contamination (S200). Similar to the previous self-cleaning method, the control module can judge the pollution degree in the pot body according to the content of the selected menu. If the pollution degree is slight, selecting to execute a conventional cleaning procedure in the subsequent step; if the cleaning agent belongs to heavy pollution, the cleaning agent is selected to execute the enhanced cleaning procedure. Next, the control module activates the lifting device to move the turner to the first cleaning position and brings the turner into interference contact with the bottom surface of the pan body (S210). In this step, the control module may detect the current position of the turner in advance, and if the current position of the turner is already at the first cleaning position, this step may be omitted, or the stirring turner is driven by the lifting device to abut against the bottom surface of the pan body along the rotation axis. Then, the control module activates the turner to agitate and clean for a first range of cleaning times (S220). Next, the spatula is moved to a second cleaning position and the inner surfaces of the spatula and the pot cover are brought into interference contact (S230). After the turner is moved to the second cleaning position, the control module starts the turner to stir and clean in the cleaning time of the second value range (S240). Finally, after the cleaning time of the second value range is ended, the cleaning is ended (S250).

For example, under a conventional cleaning procedure, the control module drives the lifting device to drive the turner to be lowered to the lowest position in the pot body, such as the first cleaning position. Then, selectively heating the pot body with maximum power and adding water into the pot body with minimum flow, and timing the water adding time period T0, wherein T0 is more than 0 seconds and less than or equal to 200 seconds. Then, wait for T1 second, for example, greater than 0 second and less than or equal to 100 seconds, then the control module starts the driving device to drive the turner to rotate and stir for T2 seconds, for example, greater than 0 second and less than or equal to 80 seconds. When the water addition period T0 seconds reaches the set value, the water addition is stopped, and at the end of the stirring T2 seconds, the stirring is stopped. The lifting device is then activated by the control module to lift the turner to a highest position, such as a second cleaning position. Then, the control module starts the driving device to drive the turner to rotate and stir for T3 seconds, wherein T3 is more than 0 seconds and less than or equal to 80 seconds. After the T3 seconds are finished, the control module starts the lifting device to lower the turner to the lowest position, and stops heating so as to finish the cleaning procedure.

Or under the enhanced cleaning procedure, the turner is moved to a preset position according to the purpose, for example, the turner is lowered to the lowest position in the pot body. Then, selectively heating the pot body with maximum power and adding water into the pot body with minimum flow, and timing the water adding time period T4, wherein T4 is more than 0 seconds and less than or equal to 200 seconds. Then, wait for T5 seconds, for example, greater than 0 seconds and less than or equal to 100 seconds, then the control module starts the driving device to drive the turner to rotate and stir for T6 seconds, for example, greater than 0 seconds and less than or equal to 100 seconds. When the water addition period T4 seconds reaches the set value, the water addition is stopped, and at the end of the stirring T6 seconds, the stirring is stopped. The lifting device is then activated by the control module to lift the turner to a highest position, such as a second cleaning position. Then, the control module starts the driving device to drive the turner to rotate and stir for T7 seconds, wherein T7 is more than 0 seconds and less than or equal to 100 seconds. After the T7 seconds are finished, the control module starts the lifting device to lower the turner to the lowest position, and stops heating so as to finish the cleaning procedure.

After the cleaning procedure is finished, the control module transmits a signal to the display operation panel to display or send out a prompt sound to remind a user that the cleaning procedure is finished, and the pot cover can be opened to pour water. And when the pot cover is confirmed to be covered again, the control module can also transmit a confirmation signal to prompt a user whether to need cleaning again.

In addition, other embodiments of the application also provide a bionic cleaning program which simulates a cleaning mode of a pot body and a pot cover by a user. For example, in these embodiments, if the target cleaning zone is the first cleaning position, the control module activates the lift device to raise the turner to the second cleaning position and to lower the turner speed (if the turner has begun to rotate). Then, the lifting device drives the turner to move towards the direction of the first cleaning position, and meanwhile, the driving device gradually increases the rotating speed of the turner, so that the turner is in interference contact with the inner surface of the pot cover and the inner wall surface of the upper half part in the pot body at the highest rotating speed when reaching the first cleaning position. The step is similar to the manual mode of rotating the gesture of wiping and cleaning the pot body by a user, so that the cleaning efficiency and the cleanliness can be improved.

Similarly, if the target cleaning area is the second cleaning position, the control module activates the lifting device to lower the turner to the first cleaning position. And then, driving the turner to move towards the direction of the second cleaning position, and synchronously lifting the rotating speed of the turner, so that the turner is in interference contact with the bottom surface of the pot body and the inner wall surface of the lower half part of the pot body at the highest rotating speed when reaching the second cleaning position. In this way, a better cleaning effect can be provided.

Please refer to fig. 45. Specifically, the self-cleaning method and the control method provided by the embodiment of the application can be independently selected or mixed according to the situation.

First, the degree of contamination in the pot body is determined (S300). The judging mode can be self judgment by a user or judgment by cooking equipment. In the embodiment of the application, a control module is further arranged in the base of the cooking equipment and is at least electrically connected with the display operation panel, the driving device and the lifting device. In some embodiments of the present application, the control module is further electrically connected to the water adding module and the temperature control module, and is configured to provide corresponding control programs between the devices or modules. The control module can judge that the pollution degree in the pot body is common pollution or heavy pollution after the current cooking program is finished according to the menu content selected by the user on the display operation panel.

For example, ingredients such as oils (e.g., vegetable oils, capsicum oil, animal oils, consumer oils, etc.) are typically added during cooking procedures; sauce (e.g., tomato sauce, sesame sauce, etc.); high oil content seasonings (e.g., heavy oil seasonings such as hotpot seasoning); or adjuvants (such as semen euryales, milk) which are easy to produce paste. Therefore, the ratio or quality of the ingredients in the selected menu can be used as a judgment basis. For example, in this implementation, the heavy pollution is determined when one of the following conditions is met: when the mass of the oil added into the menu is greater than or equal to 10 g, such as greater than or equal to 15 g, 20 g or 25 g; when the mass of sauce added to the recipe is greater than 10 grams, for example greater than 15 grams, 18 grams or 23 grams; when the weight of the seasoning such as the hotpot seasoning and the like with heavy oil stain is more than 10 g, for example more than 12 g, 15 g or 25 g; and when starch, milk and other auxiliary materials which are easy to produce paste are added into the menu, the mass of the auxiliary materials is more than 5 g, for example, more than 6 g, 8 g or 12 g. Therefore, in the subsequent step, a normal cleaning process or an enhanced cleaning process can be selected according to the contamination level (S310), wherein when the contamination is determined to be heavy, the enhanced cleaning process can be correspondingly selected; otherwise, if the ingredients in the menu do not fall into the conditions, the general pollution is judged, and the corresponding conventional cleaning procedure can be selected for cleaning.

Then, the pot cover is closed. And sending an instruction to the lifting device through the control module, so that the cam motor drives the cam to rotate, and the first power output shaft is driven to move the turner to a first cleaning position in the pot body (S320). The first cleaning position can be the lowest position of the turner in the pot body or the highest position of the turner in the pot body, wherein the lowest position is the position of interference fit between the stirring part of the stirring turner and the bottom surface of the pot body, and the highest position is the position of interference fit between the first executing part of the auxiliary turner and the inner surface of the cover body. Therefore, in this embodiment, the sequence to be cleaned may be selected according to different use requirements or habits, which is a bottom-to-top cleaning manner from the pan body to the cover body; or the cover body is cleaned from top to bottom from the pot body.

After the turner moves to the first cleaning position, water is added into the pan body (S330). In the step of starting the water pump to add water, the water adding amount can be added by timing through the preset water adding time length, or the water adding amount can be calculated according to the weight of the main food on the basis of the preset basic amount. In the embodiment of the preset water adding period, the water adding period may be set to a value range of more than 0 seconds and less than or equal to 200 seconds, or a value range of more than 0 seconds and less than or equal to 190 seconds, for example, the value range may be [10s,150s ] (more than or equal to 10 seconds, less than or equal to 150 seconds) or [5s,170s ]. In addition, in the embodiment of calculating the water adding amount according to the weight of the main food material, the calculation can be performed by adding one tenth of the weight of the main food material in the pot body to the basic water amount. For example, in the case where the base amount is set to 30ml and the main food material contains 150g of egg liquid and 350g of tomato, the water addition amount is calculated as 30ml+ (150+350)/10, and thus it can be found that the water addition amount is 80ml. The above manner of adding water into the pot body is only for illustration, but not limited thereto.

In some embodiments of the present application, the water addition amount may be set according to an electronic recipe preset by the cooking apparatus, where the electronic recipe includes a self-cleaning step including parameters such as a self-cleaning mode, the water addition amount, a self-cleaning time, and the like. The user can edit the water adding amount in the electronic menu in advance, for example, the user selects water adding amounts of 200ml,300ml and the like, so that the self-cleaning process is completed.

In some embodiments of the application, the amount of water added may be matched according to a self-cleaning pattern. The self-cleaning mode of the cooking apparatus includes: at least one of light self-cleaning, moderate self-cleaning, heavy self-cleaning, etc., each self-cleaning mode matching a preset water addition amount, comprising: 200ml of light self-cleaning, 300ml of moderate self-cleaning and 300-400 ml of heavy self-cleaning. When a user or electronic menu selects a self-cleaning mode, the water addition amount in the cleaning mode is directly selected. Different water adding amounts are adapted to different cleaning modes, so that the water consumption can be saved and the user experience can be improved while the cleaning effect is not reduced.

After the water adding program is completed or in the middle of the water adding program, the control module sends an instruction to the driving device to enable the rotating motor to drive the first power output shaft to rotate so as to start the turner, and stirring and cleaning are carried out within the cleaning time of the first value range (S340). The first value range may be, but is not limited to, greater than 0 seconds, less than or equal to 80 seconds, or greater than 0 seconds, less than or equal to 100 seconds, depending on the selected cleaning mode. In addition, in the start mode of the turner, the rotation speed of the first power output shaft may be selected within a range of greater than 0 rpm and less than or equal to 200 rpm, or greater than 0 rpm and less than or equal to 190 rpm, for example, the turner and the auxiliary turner may revolve in the pot body at [20r/s,150r/s ] (greater than or equal to 20 rpm and less than or equal to 150 rpm) or [10r/s,180r/s ] under the drive of the first power output shaft. The rotation speed of the auxiliary shovel 423 can be 30-150 rpm, which is in a proportional relation with the operation of the planetary gear set. And the rotating speed of the auxiliary shovel 423 is smaller than or equal to that of the stirring shovel 422, which is more beneficial to reasonably overturning food materials without disorder. In addition, the rotation speed of the stirring shovel rotating in the pot body can be multiple of the revolution speed in cooperation with the revolution of the first power output shaft, the value range is [0,10] (0 to 10 times), for example, the stirring shovel can rotate 5 times of the revolution speed, so that the brushing of the main concentrated area of the food materials in the pot body is enhanced.

After the cleaning time of the first value range is over, the turner is moved to a second cleaning position in the pot body (S350). In the step, after the cleaning time of the first value range is over, the turner can be moved to a second cleaning position under the condition that the turner continuously rotates; or the stirring is stopped, and then the washing machine is moved to the second washing position. Wherein the second cleaning position is different from the first cleaning position, for example, the first cleaning position is the lowest position of the turner in the pot body, and the second cleaning position is the highest position in the pot body, and vice versa.

After the turner is positioned at the second cleaning position, the turner is started, and stirring and cleaning are performed for the cleaning time in the second value range (S360). Similar to the first range of values, the second range of values may be, but is not limited to, greater than 0 seconds, less than or equal to 80 seconds, or greater than 0 seconds, less than or equal to 100 seconds, etc. After the cleaning time of the second value range is completed, the cleaning is completed (S370). At this time, the self-cleaning process of the cooking apparatus is completed.

In addition, in some embodiments of the present application, the control module may further calculate the pollution level according to the ratio of the ingredients to determine the execution times of the cleaning method, which may be calculated by the following formula: 1+ (weight of ingredients/30) =number of executions. For example, there are 32g peanut oil in the recipe ingredients, which corresponds to a number of 1+ (32/30), thus a 2-round cleaning procedure is deduced to ensure cleaning.

Based on the above, because no human intervention is needed in the cleaning process, and the omnibearing self-cleaning of the inner wall surfaces and the bottom surfaces of the pot cover and the pot body can be realized rapidly by the multi-dimensional cleaning modes such as revolution, rotation, lifting and the like of the turner. And under the premise of ensuring the cleaning effect, the pot can be quickly washed in the two cooking processes, the odor channeling between two dishes is avoided, the cleaning time is shortened as much as possible, the cooking time between the two dishes is shortened, and the cooking efficiency of a user is improved.

The cleaning method according to the embodiment of the application is further described below through some application scenarios.

Please refer to fig. 46. In an application scenario of selecting a conventional cleaning procedure according to the pollution degree, when the pot cover is closed, the turner is lowered to the lowest position in the pot body (S400). And, the water is added to the pot body for 190 seconds or 200 seconds and the pot body is heated (S410). After the step is finished, the pot body can be selectively waited for a preset time to generate steam in the pot body and soften the residue in the pot body; or directly to the next step. Next, the turner is started, and stirring is continued for a cleaning time of 70 seconds or 80 seconds or less in a range of values of 0 seconds or more (S420). Let the stirring portion of stirring shovel scrape the bottom surface of the pot body and the interior wall surface that is located the downside with interference fit's mode to and scrape the interior wall surface that is located the upside in the pot body through supplementary shovel. In this process, the process of adding water to the pot may be performed, so that the water is added while stirring in the pot until the water adding time period reaches the set value, and the water adding is stopped (S430). When the washing time is over, the turner stops stirring and is lifted to the highest position in the pot (S440). The turner is then started, and stirring is continued for a cleaning time in the range of 0 seconds or more, 70 seconds or less, or 80 seconds (S450). After that, after the washing time is finished, the turner is lowered to the lowest position in the pot body, and heating is stopped, ending the conventional washing process (S460).

Please refer to fig. 47. In the application scenario of selecting the enhanced cleaning procedure according to the pollution level, the turner is lowered to the lowest position in the pot body after the pot cover is closed (S500). And, adding water for 190 seconds or 200 seconds in the pot body, and heating the pot body (S510). In this step, water may be optionally added at maximum power and at minimum flow rate to ensure adequate steam generation within the boiler. For example, water is continuously generated in the pot body by matching the power of 1800W to 2000W with the flow rate of 4 to 6 ml/s. Therefore, the maximum power and the minimum flow rate can be defined as the collocation combination of the power and the flow rate which can enable the water to continuously generate steam in the pot body. After the above steps are completed, a predetermined period of time is waited (S520) for the steam generated in the pot to soften the residue in the pot. The value range of the predetermined time period is more than 0 seconds and less than or equal to 100 seconds, for example, 45 seconds, 60 seconds, 90 seconds, or the like. Next, the turner is started, and stirring is continued for a cleaning time of 90 seconds or less or 100 seconds in a range of values of 0 seconds or more (S530). Let the stirring portion of stirring shovel scrape the bottom surface of the pot body and the interior wall surface that is located the downside with interference fit's mode to and scrape the interior wall surface that is located the upside in the pot body through supplementary shovel. In this process, the process of adding water to the pot may be performed, so that the water is added while stirring in the pot until the water adding time period reaches the set value, and the water adding is stopped (S540). When the washing time is over, the turner stops stirring and is lifted to the highest position in the pot (S550). The turner is then started and stirring is continued for a purge time in the range of greater than 0 seconds, 90 seconds or less, or 100 seconds (S560). After the cleaning time is finished, the turner is lowered to the lowest position in the pot body, heating is stopped, and the intensified cleaning process is finished (S570).

Please refer to fig. 48. In order to better remove residues attached to the pot cover and the pot body, the embodiment of the application also provides a cleaning method, wherein the cleaning method can be respectively carried out for the pot cover and the pot body. In the method for cleaning the bottom surface and the inner wall surface in the pot body, the step of starting the turner and stirring and cleaning in the cleaning time of the first value range further comprises the following steps:

the turner is moved to a second cleaning position and the turner rotational speed is minimized (S600), e.g., 35-45 revolutions per minute. I.e., the turner is first moved to a position away from the target area. In this embodiment, the turner is first lifted to the highest position within the pan. Then, the turner is moved toward the first cleaning position while increasing the rotational speed (S610), the turner is rotated from the highest position toward the lowest position within the pan, and the rotational speed is gradually increased. In the present embodiment, the interval range of the rotation speed may be, but is not limited to, 20 to 100 rotations per minute. When the turner contacts the bottom surface of the pan body, the rotation speed is pulled to the highest (S620), for example, 65-75 rpm. Therefore, after the turner rotates in the pot body for a circle, a part of the turner can be uniformly wiped off on the bottom surface and the inner wall of the pot body. In addition, in the step of pulling the rotating speed to the highest, detecting whether the rotating speed is pulled to the highest when the turner contacts the bottom surface of the pot body through the control module, if not, repeating the step of continuously moving the turner towards the lowest position in the pot body until the rotating speed is pulled to the highest; if yes, executing the next step.

Next, the turner is moved toward the second cleaning position while the rotational speed is reduced (S630). If the turner does not return to the highest position in the pot body, the turner is continuously moved towards the highest position in the pot body, and the rotating speed is reduced until the turner is lifted to the highest position in the pot body. The step of moving towards the first cleaning position and gradually increasing the rotating speed can be repeatedly performed by the turner, so that the turner is ensured to have different initial pull-up angles when rotating in the pot body for every circle until all areas on the bottom surface in the pot body and the inner wall surface positioned at the lower side are scraped. Thus, in other embodiments of the present application, a confirmation procedure to determine whether the cleaning range of the turner on the bottom surface is fully covered may also be performed after each turner rotation. If the judgment result is negative, returning to the step of moving the turner to the second cleaning position, and executing the corresponding step. If the judgment result is positive, the turner can be selectively moved in the pot body at a constant speed and can uniformly rotate and scrape for one circle when contacting the inner wall surface and the bottom surface of the pot body, and the turner is used as a tail. After that, the spatula returns to the second cleaning position, stirring is stopped (S640), and the cleaning process is ended.

It will be appreciated that the method of cleaning the inner surface of the cover in the embodiments of the present application is similar to the method of cleaning the bottom and inner surfaces of the pan. The difference between the two is that the start position and the movement direction of the turner are opposite. Therefore, in the cleaning method for the inner surface of the cover body, the step of starting the turner and stirring and cleaning in the cleaning time of the second value range comprises the following steps: moving the spatula assembly to a first cleaning position and minimizing the rotational speed of the spatula; moving the turner toward the second cleaning position while increasing the rotational speed; the turner contacts the inner surface of the cover body of the pot cover, and the rotating speed is pulled to the highest; moving the spatula assembly towards the first cleaning position while reducing the rotational speed; and returning the turner assembly to the first cleaning position, and stopping stirring. The details are the same as or similar to the above cleaning method for the bottom surface and the inner wall surface of the pan body, and will not be described here again.

The foregoing is merely exemplary of the present application and is not intended to limit the present application. Various modifications and variations of the present application will be apparent to those skilled in the art. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. which come within the spirit and principles of the application are to be included in the scope of the claims of the present application.
