When the following description refers to the accompanying drawings, like numbers in different drawings represent the same or similar elements unless otherwise indicated. The implementations described in the exemplary embodiments below are not intended to represent all implementations consistent with the present disclosure. Rather, they are merely examples of apparatus and methods consistent with certain aspects of the present disclosure, as detailed in the appended claims.

Fig. 1 is a schematic structural view illustrating a cooking appliance according to an exemplary embodiment, as shown in fig. 1, the cooking appliance including: the cooker comprises a shell 1, a cooker body 2 positioned in the shell 1, a water inlet pipe 3, a water inlet valve 4 and a controller 5;

the water outlet end 31 of the water inlet pipe 3 is positioned at the inner side of the cooking utensil body 2;

the water inlet end 32 of the water inlet pipe 3 is positioned outside the shell 1 and is connected with a water source through a water inlet valve 4;

a controller (not shown) is connected to the water inlet valve 4 for controlling the opening and closing state of the water inlet valve 4.

Water among the present cooking utensil all needs the user manual work to use during water storage utensil pours water into cooking utensil, in order to use manpower sparingly, can set up oral siphon 3 and water inlet valve 4 in this disclosure in cooking utensil, when needs add water toward cooking utensil body 2 in, directly open through controller control water inlet valve 4 to let the water at water source flow in cooking utensil body 2 through oral siphon 3.

Further, when using the reservation function, in order to avoid that the food material in the cooking utensil is soaked in water for a long time, resulting in that final taste of rice is too poor, set up oral siphon 3 and water inlet valve 4 in the cooking utensil in this disclosure to can come the open and shut of control water inlet valve 4 through the controller and thereby realize that the water of water source gets into the inside purpose of cooking utensil body 2 through oral siphon 3. Through the structure, when the reservation function of the cooking appliance is used, water and food materials are not required to be put into the cooking appliance body 2 at the beginning like in the related technology, and only the food materials are required to be put into the cooking appliance body 2, then the reservation function is started, when the reservation time is reached, the controller can control the water inlet valve 4 to be opened, so that the water at the water source flows into the cooking appliance body 2 through the water inlet pipe 3, then the cooking of the food materials is directly carried out, the automatic water adding action of the cooking appliance body 2 can be realized through the structure, when the cooking appliance body 2 is required to add water, the water is automatically added into the cooking appliance body 2, rice or other food materials are placed in the cooking appliance body 2 in advance, the water is not required to be added into the cooking appliance body 2 when the cooking appliance body is away, the food materials are prevented from being soaked in the water for a long time, and the taste of the cooked.

In one embodiment, a water inlet pipe fitting hole may be opened in the cooking appliance body 2 and the outer case 1; then the water inlet end of the water inlet pipe extends to the inside of the cooking appliance body 2 through the water inlet pipe fitting hole in the outer case 1 and the water inlet pipe fitting hole in the cooking appliance body 2 in sequence. Of course, a sealing ring can be arranged at the position where the water inlet pipe is contacted with the assembly hole so as to improve the sealing effect.

In the related art, if there is food waste water or pot washing water in the cooking body, the user needs to manually pour the water in the cooking body into the waste water tank, and in order to save manpower, the user's hands are freed, as shown in fig. 2, in one embodiment, the cooking apparatus further includes: a drain pipe 5;

the water inlet 51 of the water discharge pipe 5 is positioned at the bottom of the inner side of the cooking utensil body 2;
