It is apparent that the implementation of the embodiments of the present invention is not limited to the specific details familiar to those skilled in the art. The following detailed description of the preferred embodiments of the invention, however, the invention is capable of other embodiments in addition to those detailed.

A cooking appliance according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to fig. 1 to 3. It can be understood that according to the utility model discloses a cooking utensil can be for electric rice cooker (for example IH electric rice cooker), electric pressure cooker, electric saucepan or other electric heating utensil, and according to the utility model discloses a cooking utensil except having the function of cooking rice, can also have various functions such as cooking congee.

The cooking utensil mainly comprises a pot body and a cover body. The cooker body is basically in the shape of a round-corner cuboid and is provided with an inner pot containing part in a cylindrical shape, and the inner pot can be freely placed into or taken out of the inner pot containing part so as to be convenient for cleaning the inner pot. The upper surface of the inner pot has a circular opening for containing materials to be heated, such as rice, soup, etc., into the inner pot. The lid body is substantially in the shape of a rounded rectangular parallelepiped and substantially corresponds to the shape of the pot body. The cover body is pivotally connected to the pot body in an openable and closable manner and is used for covering the pot body. When the cover body is covered on the cooker body, a cooking space is formed between the cover body and the inner pot. The cooker body comprises a middle plate component and a base. The cover body is pivotally connected to the middle plate assembly, and a cooking space is defined between the cover body and the middle plate assembly.

As shown in fig. 1 to 3, the cooking appliance includes a control panel 110 and a heat generating component. The control board 110 is a circuit board. The control board 110 and the heat generating components are electrically connected by wires 150. The control board 110 controls the heating assembly to generate heat to heat the food material in the cooking space. Specifically, two conductive contacts 111 are spaced apart on the control board 110. The conductive contact 111 is used to electrically connect with the electric wire 150, i.e. the electric wire 150 can be electrically connected with the control board through the conductive contact 111, thereby electrically connecting the heat generating component with the control board 110. It is understood that in embodiments not shown, the control board 110 may also be provided with a plurality of conductive contacts 111, which may be provided as desired by one skilled in the art.

Preferably, as shown in fig. 1 to 3, the cooking appliance further includes a screw 140 and a terminal block 170. The connection terminal 170 is connected to the electric wire 150. The screw 140 fixes the terminal 170 to electrically connect the conductive contact 111. Specifically, the conductive contact 111 may be a first sheet metal part, and a threaded hole is provided on the first sheet metal part. The wiring terminal 170 may be a second sheet metal part, on which a through hole is provided. The second sheet metal part is electrically connected (e.g., welded) to the wire 150. The screw 140 is threaded into the threaded hole of the first sheet metal part after passing through the through hole of the second sheet metal part, so that the wire 150 is electrically connected to the conductive contact 111. Thus, the installation of the electric wire 150 is facilitated.

In this embodiment, the cooking appliance further includes a spacer 120. The isolation rib 120 is disposed between the adjacent conductive contacts 111 to isolate the adjacent conductive contacts 111. Therefore, when the electric wire 150 is electrically connected with the conductive contact 111, the isolation rib 120 can separate the electric wire 150 connected with the adjacent conductive contact 111, avoid the electric wire 150 connected with the adjacent conductive contact 111 to be connected, and further avoid the short circuit and fire of the electric wire 150 connected with the adjacent conductive contact 111, therefore, the utility model discloses a cooking utensil need not to separate the electric wire 150 connected with the adjacent conductive contact 111 through the manual work after connecting the electric wire 150 with the conductive contact 111, and the assembly efficiency of the control board 110 is high.

Preferably, the cooking appliance further comprises a holder 130. The fixing base 130 is fixedly disposed in the middle plate assembly of the pot body. The control board 110 is fixedly connected to the fixing base 130. Therefore, the control panel 110 is fixed in the middle plate assembly, and a structure for fixing the control panel 110 is not required to be separately arranged, so that the volume of the cooking appliance can be reduced in the embodiment.

Preferably, the spacer 120 is provided on the fixing base 130. Thus, the spacer 120 is easily installed. Further preferably, the isolation rib 120 and the fixing seat 130 are integrally formed. Therefore, the cooking utensil has fewer parts and simple structure.

In other embodiments, the spacer bar 120 and the anchor block 130 are two separate pieces. The spacer 120 and the fixing base 130 are connected by a fixing member (e.g., a screw). Thus, the fixing base 130 has a simple structure.

In the present embodiment, as shown in fig. 1 to 3, the control board 110 is provided with a groove 112. The groove 112 is located between two adjacent conductive contacts 111. Thus, when the control board 110 is mounted to the fixing base 130, the spacer 120 is located in the groove 112 of the control board 110. Thus, the cooking appliance does not need to provide a mounting space for the spacer 120 in the width direction (the horizontal extending direction of the spacer 120), and the width dimension of the cooking appliance is small.

Preferably, the upper end surface of the spacer 120 is not higher than the upper end surface of the screw 140. Therefore, the cooking appliance does not need to provide an installation space for the isolation rib 120 in the height direction, and the height size of the cooking appliance is small; and because the upper end face of the spacer 120 is not higher than the upper end face of the screw 140, the spacer 120 does not affect the installation of the screw 140, the operation of connecting the electric wire 150 to the control board 110 is convenient, and the assembly is easy.

The control board 110 generates a large amount of heat when the cooking appliance is operated. So that the temperature of the control plate 110 is high. For this, the cooking appliance of the present embodiment further includes a fan 160 for cooling the control board 110. The fan 160 can be electrically connected to the control board 110 such that the control board 110 can control the operation of the fan 160. Thereby, the temperature of the control plate 110 is lowered. Preferably, the control board 110 and the fan 160 are both fixedly connected to the fixing base 130. Therefore, the control panel 110 and the fan 160 are concentrated on the fixing base 130, and the cooking appliance has a simple structure.
