Referring to fig. 1, fig. 1 is a schematic structural diagram of an embodiment of a cooking appliance according to the present application. This cooking appliance includes: a housing 10, an inner pot 20 and a heating assembly 30.

The housing 10 is provided with an accommodating space 11 for accommodating other components. The material of the housing 10 may be ceramic, metal, or metal alloy, etc. The inner pot 20 is disposed in the accommodating space 11 for accommodating food materials to be cooked, and the material of the inner pot 20 may be ceramic, metal or metal alloy, and the like, which is not limited herein. The inner pot 20 may be directly abutted against the bottom wall of the accommodating space 11, or fixed on the side wall of the accommodating space 11, or spaced from the bottom wall of the accommodating space 11. The heating assembly 30 is disposed on the bottom wall of the accommodating space 11 for heating the liquid (e.g., water) to be heated in the accommodating space 11. The heating assembly 30 may be one or more. The heating assembly 30 may be a heating plate or a heating ring, etc., but is not limited thereto, and may be fixed on the bottom wall of the accommodating space 11 by clipping, welding or fastening members (screws or bolts, etc.). Wherein the heating element 30 is spaced from the projection of the inner pan 20 on the bottom wall. It will be appreciated that the heating assembly 30 is not located directly below the inner pan 20 or does not cross-overlap the projection of the inner pan 20 on the bottom wall of the receiving space 11, but is located adjacent/spaced from the inner pan 20 on the bottom wall. Thus, when the heating assembly 30 heats the liquid to the point where bubbles are generated, the rising bubbles do not directly impact the bottom of the inner pot 20. Thereby preventing or reducing noise generated by the bubbles hitting the inner pot 20. Because the liquid is heated to generate convection, the heated liquid to be heated can still heat the inner pot 20; or, the steam generated by heating the liquid to be heated can heat the inner pot 20, so that the normal operation of the cooking appliance is not affected by the heating assembly 30 not being located right below the inner pot 20.

Through setting up heating element 30 and interior pot 20 projection looks interval on the diapire for heating element 30 is not located the bottom of interior pot 20, thereby the bottom of pot 20 in the bubble impact that produces when avoiding the heating, consequently, the noise that cooking appliance produced can be reduced to this application.

Alternatively, referring to fig. 2, the accommodating space 11 may include a main cavity 110 for accommodating the inner pot 20 and a side cavity 111 for accommodating the heating assembly 30. Wherein, the side cavity 111 is communicated with the main cavity 110 through the opening at the bottom of the side wall of the main cavity 110. It can be understood that the casing 10 can be configured to have a structure with two cavities, the liquid to be heated can be simultaneously located in the main cavity 110 and the side cavity 111, the side cavity 111 is provided with the heating component 30 for heating the liquid to be heated, the heated liquid can enter the main cavity 110 through the opening at the bottom of the side wall of the main cavity 110 by convection, and the liquid not directly heated by the heating component in the main cavity 110 enters the side cavity 111 by convection to be heated, so that the liquid flows circularly and repeatedly, thereby heating the liquid, and finally heating the inner pot 20 by the heated liquid. Since the liquid only heats up in the side chamber 111 to generate bubbles, the bubbles are prevented from directly hitting the inner pot 20. Alternatively, referring to fig. 2 and 3, the housing 10 may include a bottom plate 12, a first housing 13 and a second housing 14, the bottom plate 12 being connected with the first housing 13 to enclose a main cavity 110, and the bottom plate 12 being connected with the second housing 14 to enclose a side cavity 111. The connection means may be clamping, welding or using fasteners, etc. The first housing 13 and the second housing 14 may be integrally formed by firing, die injection molding, or stamping. Alternatively, the first housing 13 and the second housing 14 may be separate components that are joined together by welding and or fasteners. A gap is left between the inner pot 20 and the first outer shell 13 to facilitate the circulation of steam in the main cavity 110, so that the side wall of the inner pot 20 can be heated. Alternatively, the base plate 12 may be a hollow structure having a lower portion for housing the heating element 30 and corresponding power or control circuitry therein. Optionally, the junction of the first casing 13 and the second casing 14 is a rounded structure or a curved structure, so as to facilitate the generated hot steam to enter the main cavity 110 from the side cavity 111.

In some embodiments, referring to fig. 4, the heating assembly 30 is embedded on the bottom wall of the side cavity 111, and the position of the heating surface of the heating assembly 30 in the accommodating space 11 is lower than the bottom of the inner pot 20. That is, the heating surface of the heating assembly 30 is lower than the bottom of the inner pot 20. In one case, the liquid level of the liquid to be heated can be below the scale a, the heating assembly 30 heats the water into steam, so as to heat the inner pot 20 through the steam, and the cooking mode can be steaming. When the liquid level of the liquid to be heated is located near the B scale, the heating assembly 30 can heat the liquid to be heated in the entire accommodating space 11 to heat the inner pot 20 by the hot water and the steam, and the cooking mode can be stewing. Above-mentioned structure can provide different heating methods for cooking appliance's culinary art mode is abundanter.

Alternatively, referring to fig. 2, the upper surface of the side cavity 111 may be a plane, and the height of the upper surface of the side cavity 111 is less than that of the main cavity 110, so that the flow of heat may be facilitated. It can be understood that the heating assembly 30 in the side cavity 111 is used for heating the liquid to be heated, the height of the upper surface of the side cavity 111 is too large, which easily causes the increase of the overall thermal cycle space, and causes unnecessary heat loss, and the height of the upper surface of the side cavity 111 is less than the height of the upper surface of the main cavity 110, which is beneficial to the full utilization of heat, and reduces unnecessary heat transfer, thereby reducing the power consumption of the cooking appliance.

In some embodiments, with continued reference to fig. 4, the top wall or the side wall of the side cavity 111 is opened with a water filling port communicating with the outside. The filler may be removably sealed by a high temperature resistant seal 16. It can be understood that the liquid to be heated in the accommodating space 11 will be heated and evaporated, so that water needs to be injected to prevent the liquid from being burnt out due to insufficient water. At this time, the water may be directly added from the opening of the main cavity 110, but since the water added into the main cavity 110 may touch the inner pot 20, the temperature of the inner pot 20 is immediately decreased, and the inner pot 20 needs to be reheated to reach the previous high temperature, so that additional heat loss is caused, and the power consumption of the heating assembly 30 is increased. In addition, the cover 15 covering the main cavity 110 has a relatively high temperature and a relatively heavy weight after being heated, and the nutrition loss of the food materials can be affected by opening the main cavity 110 and adding water. When water needs to be added, the sealing piece 16 is opened to add water, and the water adding port can be sealed by the sealing piece 16 after the water is added.

In some embodiments, referring to fig. 5, the number of heating elements 30 may be multiple, such as 3 or 4, etc. Wherein a plurality of heating assemblies 30 are spaced apart from each other and arranged on the bottom wall of the casing 10 around the inner pot 20. For example, a plurality of heating assemblies 30 may be evenly spaced around the inner pot 20, thereby providing more uniform heating. Of course, in other embodiments, the plurality of heating elements 30 may be disposed only on the same side of the inner pot 20 or in other regular arrangement relative to the inner pot 20, and is not limited in this respect. The liquid to be heated in the accommodating space 11 can be rapidly heated in the above manner, so that the heating time of the inner pot 20 is reduced, and the heating efficiency of the cooking appliance is improved. Alternatively, a plurality of heating elements 30 may be controlled by the same circuit, and the heating elements 30 may operate simultaneously, individually or in combination. For example, it is possible to have only the heating assembly 30 located on the same side of the inner pan 20, so that different heating temperatures can be flexibly set.

In some embodiments, referring to fig. 2 and 3, the cooking appliance may further include a support 40. The supporting member 40 is disposed between the bottom wall of the accommodating space 11 and the bottom of the inner pot 20 for supporting the inner pot 20. So that the bottom of the inner pot 20 is spaced apart from the bottom wall of the accommodating space 11. The supporting member 40 may be fixed on the bottom wall of the accommodating space 11 by welding or the like, or detachably disposed on the bottom wall of the accommodating space 11 by snapping, inserting, or using a fastener or the like, or directly placed on the bottom wall of the accommodating space 11, which is not limited herein. The material of the support 40 may be plastic, metal alloy, or the like. It can be understood that the liquid to be heated may hit the side wall or the bottom wall of the side cavity 111 after being heated to cause slight vibration, and further may cause vibration between the inner pot 20 and the lid of the inner pot 20 to generate noise. Pot 20 and the diapire looks interval of accommodation space 11 open in will through setting up support piece 40, can play the effect of buffering, can reduce the diapire of accommodation space 11 or the influence of lateral wall vibration to pot 20 in to further avoid or reduce the production of noise.

Alternatively, referring to fig. 3, the supporting member 40 is a plate-shaped structure provided with a plurality of hollowed-out portions, and a plurality of water inlet holes are formed in the circumferential direction of the supporting member 40. The side of the support member 40 facing the inner pot 20 may be provided with a plurality of through holes. After the water in the accommodating space 11 is heated, the hot water may contact the bottom of the inner pot 20 through the plurality of water inlet holes of the supporting member 40, so that the liquid to be heated may heat the bottom of the inner pot 20, and the inner pot 20 is heated more sufficiently.

Alternatively, referring to fig. 6, the supporting member 40 is a skeleton structure in which a wire is wound. When the liquid to be heated in the accommodating space 11 is heated, the hot liquid can conveniently enter the bottom of the inner pot 20 due to the skeleton structure of the supporting member 40, and meanwhile, the cross-sectional area of the skeleton structure is smaller, so that impact between the hot water entering the bottom of the inner pot 20 and the supporting member 40 can be avoided, and the liquid can conveniently enter the bottom of the inner pot 20.

Optionally, referring to fig. 3, the inner pot 20 may further include a pot cover 21. The lid 21 can further prevent the heat loss of the inner pot 20, and can prevent the water vapor from forming water drops on the lid 15 and dropping into the inner pot 20. Optionally, handles may be provided on both sides of the inner pot 20 to facilitate placement or removal of the inner pot 20.

When assembling the cooking appliance, the heating assembly 30 may be fixed on the bottom plate 12, the supporting member may be placed on the bottom plate 12, the projections of the supporting member and the bottom plate are spaced from each other, the first casing 13 and the second casing 14 may be assembled on the bottom plate 12 to form the accommodating space 11, and finally the inner pot 20 may be placed in the accommodating space 11 and covered with the cover 15.

In some embodiments, the cooking appliance may be an electric stew cup.

It should be understood that the above structures do not represent all the components of the cooking appliance, and the cooking appliance may be further provided with other components for performing its functions, such as a handle, a control panel, etc.
