In some embodiments, switching circuit 67 includes a single pole double throw relay PLY 401. One stationary contact of the single-pole double-throw switch of the single-pole double-throw relay PLY401 is connected with the motor 1041, and the other stationary contact is connected with the heating assembly 1042. The main control circuit 65 controls the energization or de-energization of the coil of the single pole double throw relay PLY401, causing the single pole double throw switch to switch between the motor 1041 and the heating assembly 1042. Therefore, the motor 1041 and the heating assembly 1042 are controlled by one driving circuit 66, and the number of components of the circuit can be effectively reduced.

The power supply circuit 61 may include an ac-dc conversion circuit, such as a switching power supply. The power circuit 61 may convert the ac power provided by the power supply 800 into dc power to provide an operating voltage, such as 12V or 9V dc voltage, to the power switch circuit 63, the main control circuit 65, and the driving circuit 66. In some embodiments, the power circuit may also power other circuits and components in the cooking device 100.

In some embodiments, the cooking appliance circuit 600 further includes a zero crossing detection circuit 62. The zero-cross detection circuit 62 is connected to the main control circuit 65. The zero-cross detection circuit 62 is used to detect the zero-cross point of the alternating current. The main control circuit 65 controls the conduction time of the drive circuit 66 according to the zero-crossing point of the alternating current. In some embodiments, the zero-crossing detection circuit 62 includes a diode D105, when the alternating current crosses zero, the diode D105 is turned off, and the zero-crossing detection circuit 62 outputs a zero-crossing detection signal to the main control circuit 65. And zero crossing point detection is performed through the diode D105, so that the circuit cost is low.

In some embodiments, the cooking appliance circuitry 600 includes the temperature detection circuitry 64. The temperature detection circuit 64 is connected to the main control circuit 65. The temperature sensing circuit 64 may sense the temperature of the food material within the cup assembly 104. In some embodiments, the main control circuit 65 can control the heating temperature of the heating assembly 1042 to the food material according to the temperature of the food material detected by the temperature detecting circuit 64, so that the cooking apparatus 100 is more intelligent.
