The utility model provides a cooking utensil can be 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 preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings by taking an electric rice cooker as an example.

As shown in fig. 1 to 3, the cooking appliance 1 includes a pot body 20 and a lid body 10. The pot body 20 is substantially configured in a rounded rectangular parallelepiped shape, and an inner pot (not shown) is provided inside thereof. In particular, in the illustrated embodiment, the rounded corners of the pot body 20 are located at the bottom corners thereof, while the two side outer walls at the side edges thereof may have a well-defined angle, such as a right-like angle at the side edges in the drawings. The inner pot may be provided to be removably provided in the pot body 20. For example, in one embodiment, a cylindrical-shaped inner pot accommodating part may be provided in the pot body 20, and the inner pot may be freely put into or taken out of the inner pot accommodating part. The removable arrangement enables the user to conveniently take the inner pot out for cleaning. And the inner pan is overall more portable than the cooking appliance 1. Of course, the inner pot may be fixedly and non-removably provided in the pot body 20. A heating means (not shown) for heating the inner pot is also generally provided in the pot body 20.

The lid 10 is provided to the pot body 20 to be openable and closable, and has a shape corresponding to the shape of the pot body 20, so that the pot body 20 can be easily closed. For example, in the illustrated embodiment, the top edge of the lid 10 is rounded to accommodate the pot body 20, while the side edges are also sharply angled. When the cover 10 is covered on the pot body 20, a first cooking space is formed between the cover and the inner pot. Preferably, in the present embodiment, the rear portion of the pot body 20 is provided with a pivot shaft (not shown). The lid body 10 is connected to the pot body 20 by a pivot shaft so as to be opened and closed pivotably about the pivot shaft with respect to the pot body 20.

According to the utility model discloses a cooking utensil 1 still includes culinary art storehouse 30, and culinary art storehouse 30 sets up in a kind of deep pot body 20 along horizontal D drawable to be located the below of aforementioned first culinary art space. The drawable movement of the cooking chamber 30 makes the addition of the food material and the cleaning operation of the cooking chamber 30 convenient. Specifically, the pot body 20 is provided with a recessed structure 21 matching the shape and size of the cooking chamber 30, and the cooking chamber 30 is provided in the recessed structure 21. When the cooking chamber 30 is in the pot body 20, the outer surface of the cooking chamber 30 is flush with the outer surface of the pot body 20, so that the outer surface of the cooking appliance 1 is flat and continuous.

The cooking chamber 30 has a second cooking space independent from the first cooking space for cooking using a second cooking manner different from the first cooking manner in the first cooking space. In other words, the first cooking space is isolated from the first cooking space. For example, the first cooking space is used for cooking rice, and the second cooking space is used for heating other dishes, so that the first cooking space and the second cooking space cannot influence each other; or the first cooking space is used for cooking rice, and the second cooking space is used for cooking porridge, so that the porridge cannot influence the cooking. Therefore, at least two cooking modes can be realized simultaneously, the cooking time is shortened, and the cooking efficiency is improved.

As shown in fig. 2, the cooking chamber 30 includes a base 31 and a storage box 34. The base 31 is provided drawably with respect to the pot body 20. A storage box 34 is provided on the base 31 for containing food to be cooked to constitute the aforementioned second cooking space. The storage box 34 may have any suitable shape, such as, for example, in the illustrated embodiment, the storage box 34 is generally cylindrical in configuration to reduce dead space for easy cleaning. However, the storage box 34 may be configured as an elliptic cylinder, a prism, a hemisphere, or the like. Preferably, in the illustrated embodiment, the storage box 34 is detachable with respect to the base 31, which may further facilitate the access of food materials and the cleaning of the storage box 34.

In the present embodiment, the storage box 34 can share the heating device with the inner pot of the pot body 20, which can make the cooking appliance 1 compact. However, in an embodiment not shown, an additional heating device (not shown) for heating the storage box 34 may also be provided in the cooking chamber 30. For example, an additional heating means may be provided inside the base 31 and below the storage box 34 to improve heat transfer efficiency.

In one embodiment, the base 31 has a main body portion 32 extending in the transverse direction D and an extension portion 33 extending upwardly from an outer edge of the main body portion 32. As shown, the main body portion 32 is integrally formed with the extension portion 33 to facilitate manufacturing. However, the extension 33 may be a separate member from the main body 32. In particular, the extension 33 forms a bin gate of the cooking bin 30. In other words, the extension 33 may separate the inside of the cooking chamber 30 from the outside of the cooking chamber 30. As mentioned above, since the cooking chamber 30 is disposed in the concave structure 21 of the pot body 20, the extension 33 can further isolate the interior of the cooking chamber 30 from the exterior of the cooking appliance 1 to prevent contaminants such as dust or water from entering therein.

Preferably, the upper edge of the extension 33 is higher than the top surface of the storage box 34 to avoid the storage box 34 from being oversized in height to affect the drawable movement of the cooking chamber 30. The above structure can completely accommodate the storage box 34 in the cooking chamber 30, at least can reduce the loss of heat, thereby improving the cooking efficiency. On the other hand, the door of the cooking chamber 30 closes the second cooking space, and the cover 10 of the cooking device 1 closes the first cooking space, i.e. the two are spatially independent from each other, so that the first cooking space and the second cooking space are further ensured to be separated from each other, and the tainting of odors among foods prepared in different cooking modes can be avoided.

As shown in fig. 3, the storage box 34 is alternatively configured to include a box body 35 and a box cover 36, and the box cover 36 is detachably coupled to the box body 35 to cover the opening of the box body 35. Therefore, when the box cover 36 is covered on the box body 35, the aforementioned second cooking space is formed between the box cover 36 and the box body 35. Such a storage box 34 has a better heat preservation and insulation effect, and can prevent the food material from overflowing during cooking, thereby forming a clean and sanitary cooking environment.

The box cover 36 is provided with a handle 41 for providing a force application point for a user to take and place the box cover, and high-temperature scalding can be avoided. In one embodiment, the handle 41 is movably disposed relative to the lid 36 between a grippable position and a flat position. For example, handle 41 is connected to lid 36 by a pivot pin (not shown) to be pivotable between a grippable position and a flat position relative to lid 36.

Preferably, the lid 36 is provided with a recess 40 to accommodate a handle 41. For example, in the illustrated embodiment, the cover 36 is provided with an arcuate (semi-circular in the figures) recess 40 to receive an arcuate (semi-circular in the figures) handle 41. When in the flat position, the handle 41 is received in the recess 40. It will be appreciated that this saves space and prevents the handle 41 from protruding beyond the surface of the lid 36 and obstructing the pull-out movement of the cooking chamber 30.

Optionally, a stirring assembly 37 may be further disposed in the storage box 34, and the stirring assembly 37 is connected to the box cover 36. In the illustrated embodiment, the stirring assembly 37 is configured to include a stirring head having blades, but the stirring assembly 37 may be configured in other forms. In addition, an assembly button 38 is provided at the center of the outside of the box cover 36, and the assembly button 38 is connected to the agitation assembly 37 to control the operation of the agitation assembly 37. Optionally, a driving member (not shown), such as a motor, is provided within the pot body, which may be disposed between the inner pot and the stirring assembly 37 in the height direction, for example in the top surface of the recessed structure 21. So that the driving member can be coupled with the fitting button 38 to drive the agitating assembly 37 only in a state where the cooking chamber 30 is located in the pot body 20. Therefore, misoperation of the stirring assembly 37 when the cooking chamber 30 is not closed can be effectively avoided, and the safety of the cooking appliance 1 is improved. Although the height dimension of the base 31 shown in the drawings is relatively small and accordingly the size of the storage box 34 is also relatively small, in this way, when the cooking chamber 30 is in the pot body 20 for cooking, the conventional stirring operation can be performed in a limited operation space, which facilitates uniform heating of the food, thereby improving the cooking effect.

To achieve the drawable movement of the cooking chamber 30, the cooking chamber 30 is provided with a sliding structure such that the cooking chamber 30 is slidable with respect to the pot body 20. In an alternative embodiment, the sliding structure is configured as a sliding rail and a slider. Specifically, one of the cooking chamber 30 and the pot body 20 is provided with a slide block, and the other is provided with a slide rail. The slider may be coupled with the slide rail. Thus, when the slider slides on the slide rail, the cooking chamber 30 slides with respect to the pot body 20. In this way, the cooking chamber 30 can have a determined movement path and range, facilitating the arrangement of the cooking appliance 1 on the operating floor, so as not to collide with other appliances. Moreover, the arrangement mode is relatively labor-saving, and the use feeling of a user in the cooking operation can be improved. However, the sliding structure of the cooking chamber 30 is not limited to the above-described embodiment.

The sliding structure of the cooking chamber 30 of the present invention will be described in detail by taking a preferred embodiment as an example. As shown in fig. 2 and 3, the base 31 of the cooking chamber 30 is provided with an elongated slide rail 39, and the pot body 20 is provided with a slider (not shown). Specifically, the slide rails 39 are provided on both sides of the main body portion 32 of the base 31 in the lateral direction D. In correspondence with this, sliders are provided at respective positions (not shown) of the inner wall of the recessed structure 21 of the pot body 20. The slide rail 39 and the slider may be coupled so that the cooking chamber 30 is slidable between the first position and the second position with respect to the pot body 20.

It is to be understood that, in order to position the cooking chamber 30 at the first position and/or the second position, the sliding structure of the cooking chamber 30 further includes a positioning structure such as a stopper, a latch, etc.; the sliding structure further includes a coupling member such as a ball, etc. for the smoothness of sliding and other purposes.

In the illustrated embodiment, the recessed structure 21 is located at the bottom of the pot body 20. Specifically, the "bottom" here means that the bottom of the pot body 20 is recessed inward from the bottom surface. And the cooking chamber 30 is disposed in such a recessed structure 21 that the bottom surface of the main body portion 32 of the base 31 is flush with the bottom surface of the recessed structure 21 of the pot body 20; in other words, the bottom surface of the main body 32 forms a part of the bottom surface of the pot body 20. In this case, when the cooking chamber 30 is slid to be in the first position (see fig. 1) with respect to the pot body 20, the extension 33 of the base 31 is flush with the outer surface of the pot body 20. That is, the door of the cooking chamber 30 is closed, so that the cooking chamber 30 is well sealed and has better heat preservation and insulation properties. When the cooking chamber 30 is slid to be in the second position (see fig. 2) relative to the pot body 20, the storage box 34 is completely exposed from the recessed structure 21 of the pot body 20. That is, the storage box 34 is not shielded by the pot body 20 when viewed from the outside, so that the lid 36 of the storage box 34 can be completely opened, thereby facilitating operations such as adding food materials or taking and putting the storage box 34.

In the above embodiment, the recessed structure 21 is illustrated as being located at the bottom of the pot body 20, and the cooking device 1 has a simple structure and is easy to process. However, the concave structure 21 can be located at other positions of the pot body 20, which is not limited by the present invention.
