The fasteners 121 can be arranged along the circumferential direction of the outer pot 120 at intervals, specifically along the circumferential direction of the sinking platform 124 at intervals on the sinking platform side wall 126. For example, the clasps 121 may be disposed discretely with respect to the axial centerline of the pot body assembly 100. In the illustrated embodiment, the clasps 121 are shown arranged in a general array relative to the axial centerline of the pot body assembly 100. All the clasps 121 on the circumferential side of the heating device 110 can be bent inward and pressed, so that the heating device 110 can be further limited in the horizontal direction.

The latch 121 may be integral with the wall of the outer pan 120, and in particular, may be integral with the sink side wall 126. The catch 121 may be a sheet member. Referring to fig. 3 and 4, one end of the buckle 121 may be connected to an upper wall of the through hole, and the other end of the buckle 121 opposite to the one end is inclined radially inward and is clamped with the clamping groove 111, so as to be formed by a wall body at the sinking platform 124 in the process of forming the through hole 127, thereby facilitating the production and manufacture of the outer pot 120. Further, the latch 121 is a part of the wall body.

The lower end of the hook 121 can abut against the lower surface of the engaging groove 111. Of course, the lower end of the latch 121 may abut against the inner side surface of the slot 111 at the same time. The peripheral side wall 112 may be provided with a guide surface 115 located below the catching groove 111, the guide surface 115 being outwardly and obliquely disposed to contact and relatively slide with an upper surface of the buckle 121 during the installation of the pot body assembly 100, thereby facilitating the clamping of the buckle 121 into the catching groove 111, the clamping process being easy to operate.

Referring to fig. 1 and 5, the heating device 110 may be provided with an upper support 113 extending downward. The bottom wall 125 of the sinking platform of the outer pot 120 may be provided with lower supporting parts 128 protruding upward at intervals. The upper support portion 113 can abut against the lower support portion 128. The upper support portion 113 may be disposed near the outer circumference of the heating device 110 and inside the circumferential sidewall 112. The lower support 128 may be disposed near the outer periphery of the sinker bottom wall 125.

The upper support portion 113 may be a column, that is, a support column. The lower support 128 may be a boss. Alternatively, the upper support portion 113 may protrude from the upper surface of the bottom wall 125 of the sinking platform and be formed to be upwardly recessed from the bottom wall 125 of the sinking platform. The lower support part 128 not only can improve the structural strength of the bottom wall 125 of the sinking platform, but also facilitates the formation of the lower support part 128 on the bottom wall 125 of the sinking platform by means of stamping, thereby simplifying the production and manufacture.

Alternatively, the upper support portions 113 may be disposed at intervals in the circumferential direction of the heating device 110, and the lower support portions 128 may also be disposed at intervals in the circumferential direction of the outer pot 120. The upper support portions 113 may correspond to the lower support portions 128 up and down, for example, the illustrated embodiment shows 3 upper support portions 113 and 3 lower support portions 128, and the upper support portions 113 correspond to the lower support portions 128 one by one.

The heating device 110 may also be provided with a downwardly extending terminal 114 for connection to a power cord. The bottom wall 125 of the outer pan 120 may be provided with a receiving hole 129, and the terminal 114 extends through and is retained by the receiving hole 129. In this embodiment, not only the relative position of the heating device 110 and the outer pot 120 can be limited in the circumferential direction to prevent the heating device 110 from rotating, but also the heating device 110 can be aligned with the outer pot 120 during the assembly process.

In an embodiment, not shown, one of the upper support and the lower support may be provided with a recess in which the other of the upper support and the lower support may be partially received. For example, the lower support may be a counter with a recess in which the upper support is partially received. Thereby, the rotation of the heating device can be further restricted.
