Of course, the wire clamping structure 1241 may also be used to fix the connection terminals and the cables of the control board 140. Alternatively, the air pump 1221, the water pump 1222, and the flow meter 1223 are installed at one side of the waterway box 121 near the clamp line structure 1241, and the control valve 1224 is installed at the other side of the waterway box 121. The water route connection line can be further shortened.

In one embodiment, as shown in fig. 7-10, waterway box 121 includes a front cover 1213 and a rear cover 1214 that are connected by welding. The front cover 1213 and the back cover 1214 may be specifically sealed by a structural seal or a rubber ring. Specifically, the front cover 1213 and the back cover 1214 are connected by ultrasonic thermofussion welding, which improves the sealing property between the front cover 1213 and the back cover 1214 while ensuring the connection stability. So that the waterway box 121 is formed of the front cover 1213 and the rear cover 1214, facilitating the design of the fluid passage, and facilitating the integral mold release.

By making the width of the water channel 1211 greater than or equal to 8mm and less than or equal to 10mm and the depth of the water channel 1211 greater than or equal to 8mm and less than or equal to 10mm, the flow requirement of the water system is met, and meanwhile, the water leakage risk caused by overlarge local pressure due to a large-area flow channel can be avoided. The bottom of the water passage 1211 may be rounded to further prevent the flow passage from being locally pressurized.

With reference to fig. 8, the combined waterway box 121 includes the above-mentioned embodiment of the front cover 1213 and the rear cover 1214 connected by welding, and further, a first welding rib 10 is disposed on the front cover 1213, a second welding rib 20 is disposed on the rear cover 1214 corresponding to the first welding rib 10, and the width of the first welding rib 10 is greater than or equal to 3.5mm and less than or equal to 4.5 mm; and/or the width of the second welding rib 20 is more than or equal to 3.5mm and less than or equal to 4.5 mm.

In this embodiment, the width of the first welding rib 10 may be 4mm, and the width of the second welding rib 20 may be 4 mm. If the width of the first welding rib 10 is smaller than 3.5mm and the width of the second welding rib 20 is smaller than 3.5mm, the welding strength cannot be ensured, and the water leakage risk is easy to occur. If the width of the first welding rib 10 is larger than 4.5mm and the width of the second welding rib 20 is larger than 4.5mm, the cross-sectional area of the water passage 1211 is reduced, and thus the flow rate requirement of the water system cannot be ensured. And the width of the first welding rib 10 is larger than or equal to 3.5mm and smaller than or equal to 4.5mm, and the width of the second welding rib 20 is larger than or equal to 3.5mm and smaller than or equal to 4.5mm, so that the welding strength of the front cover 1213 and the rear cover 1214 can be ensured while the flow demand of a water system can be ensured, and the water leakage phenomenon is reduced or avoided. The first welding rib 10 and the second welding rib 20 can be rounded properly to fill up the welding flash.

Further, referring to fig. 8 again, a welding area 1216 is formed between the first bead 10 and the second bead 20, and the depth of the welding area 1216 is greater than or equal to 2mm and less than or equal to 3 mm. If the depth of the welding area 1216 is less than 2mm, the welding strength cannot be ensured, and the risk of water leakage is likely to occur. If the depth of the welding area 1216 is larger than 3mm, the cross-sectional area of the water flow path 1211 increases, and a large flow path may cause an excessive local pressure and a water leakage risk. By making the depth of the welding area 1216 greater than or equal to 2mm and less than or equal to 3mm, the welding strength between the front cover 1213 and the rear cover 1214 can be ensured, and at the same time, the excessive local pressure caused by the large-area flow channel can be avoided, and the risk of water leakage between the front cover 1213 and the rear cover 1214 can be further avoided.

In one embodiment, as shown in fig. 1 to 3, the pot body 110 has a first side 113 and a second side 114 disposed opposite to the cooking cavity 111, the first side 113 is used for installing the water tank 130; the pot body assembly 100 further includes a control plate 140, the control plate 140 being mounted to the second side 114 of the pot body 110, and the waterway module 120 being located between the first side 113 and the second side 114 of the pot body 110.

In this embodiment, the control board 140 may be a main control board of the cooking appliance. The control plate 140 may be detachably mounted to the pot body 110 through a plate case. The water tank 130 is used for supplying cooking water, such as rice washing water to the inner pot, cooking water, and cleaning water, and is not particularly limited. It is understood that the first side 113 and the second side 114 of the pot body 110 disposed opposite to the cooking cavity 111 refer to two opposite peripheral sides of the pot body 110, that is, two peripheral sides opposite to the cooking cavity 111 in the horizontal direction when the cooking appliance is used. The first side 113 and the second side 114 may be front and rear sides of the pot body 110, or left and right sides of the pot body 110. Alternatively, the water tank 130 is placed at the left side of the pot body 110 in order to facilitate the user's manipulation of the interface.

The first side 113 of the pot body 110 is used to mount the water tank 130 and the control board 140 is mounted to the second side 114 of the pot body 110, i.e., such that the water tank 130 and the control board 140 are disposed at opposite sides of the cooking cavity 111. So for control panel 140 sets up at the opposite face of water tank 130, and furthest keeps away from water tank 130, also keeps away from the water source promptly, and then can protect the performance of circuit board, effectively promotes control panel 140's water-proof effects. And the control panel 140 can be waterproof only by arranging the installation positions of the control panel 140 and the water tank 130, and an additional waterproof structure is not needed, so that the overall structure is simplified and the implementation is easier.

In addition, make water route module 120 be located between first side 113 and the second side 114 of a kind of deep pot body 110, make water tank 130, water route module 120, control panel 140, set gradually around the circumference of a kind of deep pot body 110, make the structure compacter on the one hand, on the other hand makes water route module 120 and water tank 130's connecting line the shortest, and then simplify the pipeline, and make control panel 140 and water route module 120's connecting line the shortest, and then can avoid influencing EMC performance because of electromagnetic interference, effectively promote holistic EMC performance.
