< first embodiment-cooking body 110>

Referring to fig. 4, fig. 4 is a schematic cross-sectional structure view of the cooking main body of the cooking apparatus shown in fig. 1 and fig. 2, in the present embodiment, the cooking main body 110 may include a housing 111, an outer pot 112 disposed in the housing 111, a heating element 113 disposed inside the outer pot 112, an air source assembly 114 for performing air convection cooking in cooperation with the heating element 113, a heat insulation cover 115 disposed between the heating element 113 and the outer pot 112, a pressure sensing element 116 (labeled in fig. 2) for sensing pressure inside the outer pot 112, an elastic support 117 for elastically supporting the heating element 113, a temperature detector 118 (labeled in fig. 10) disposed on the heating element 113, and a heat insulation element 119 (labeled in fig. 10) disposed between the temperature detector 118 and the heating element 113.

As shown in fig. 1 and 4, the fry basket 120 can be put into the outer pot 112 and positioned above the heating assembly 113, and the cooking body 110 can perform air convection cooking based on the fry basket 120. Heating assembly 113 and air source assembly 114 cooperate to generate circulating hot air within outer pot 112 to convectively heat food items placed in fry basket 120 during air convection cooking in cooking apparatus 100. The heat shield 115 serves to reflect heat radiation generated from the heating assembly 113 during air convection cooking to reduce the temperature rise of the outer pot 112.

As shown in fig. 2 and 4, the inner pot 130 can be put into the outer pot 112 and be in contact with the heating unit 113, and the cooking body 110 can perform heat conduction cooking based on the inner pot 130, and at this time, the air source unit 114 does not operate. When the cooking apparatus 100 performs heat conduction cooking, the second cover 150 is covered on the cooking body 110 to seal the inner pot 130, at this time, a certain pressure is generated inside the outer pot 112, the pressure pushes the heating assembly 113 to move downward along the axial direction of the cooking body 110 (the dotted line X in fig. 4 may indicate the axial direction of the cooking body 110), and further abuts against the pressure-sensitive element 116, so that the pressure-sensitive element 116 can sense the pressure inside the outer pot 112, the elastic support 117 elastically supports the heating assembly 113, and after the pressure inside the outer pot 112 decreases or disappears, the elastic support 117 urges the heating assembly 113 to move upward.

In some embodiments, when the cooking apparatus 100 performs heat conduction cooking, the pressure detection may also be performed by a pressure/temperature sensor directly provided in the inner pot 130. In such an embodiment, the heating assembly 113 may be non-movable, and the pressure-sensitive element 116 does not need to be disposed in the cooking body 110, which is not limited in this application and can be selected by those skilled in the art according to actual requirements.

When the inner pot 130 is put into the outer pot 112, the temperature detector 118 contacts the inner pot 130 and detects the temperature of the inner pot 130, and the control circuit 170 controls the heating assembly 113 according to the detection result of the temperature detector 118. In some embodiments, the temperature detector 118 can also be used to contact the fry basket 120 and detect the temperature of the fry basket 120 when the fry basket 120 is placed in the outer pot 112, which the present application does not limit to this and the person skilled in the art can select according to actual needs. The heat insulator 119 is disposed between the temperature detector 118 and the heating element 113 to prevent the temperature detector 118 from overheating.

Next, each component included in the cooking main body 110 will be described in detail one by one.

As shown in fig. 4, the case 111 is disposed at an outermost layer of the cooking body 110 to form an external appearance surface of the cooking body 110.

As shown in fig. 4, the outer pot 112 is disposed inside the housing 111, and when the cooking apparatus 100 performs air convection cooking, hot air circulates inside the outer pot 112 to convectively heat food placed in the fry basket 120. Specifically, the outer pot 112 may be disposed in a cylindrical shape as a whole, which is not limited in this application, and those skilled in the art may select the outer pot according to actual needs. In addition, a first outer pot through hole 1122, a second outer pot through hole, a third outer pot through hole, a fourth outer pot through hole 1123 and a fifth outer pot through hole are formed in the bottom wall 1121 of the outer pot 112.

The heating assembly 113 is disposed inside the outer pot 112 and at the bottom of the outer pot 112. As shown in fig. 5, fig. 5 is a schematic perspective view of the heating assembly in the cooking body shown in fig. 4, in this embodiment, the heating assembly 113 may include a tray 1131, a heat generating tube 1132 disposed on the tray 1131, a support column 1133 disposed on the tray 1131, a limiting member 1134 (labeled in fig. 6 and 8) for limiting the support column 1133, a pressing member 1135 disposed on the tray 1131, and a connection terminal 1136 connected to the heat generating tube 1132.

As shown in fig. 4, the plate 1131 may be a curved surface protruding toward the inner pot 130 or the basket 120, which is not limited in this application and can be selected by those skilled in the art according to actual needs. The disk body 1131 is provided with a first overflowing hole 11311 and a through hole 11312 (for installing the temperature detector 118) located at the periphery of the first overflowing hole 11311. Wherein the first overflowing holes 11311 participate in forming a hot air circulation passage for air convection cooking.

As shown in fig. 5, the first overflowing holes 11311 are one in number and are centrally disposed with respect to the disk 1131. In some embodiments, the number of the first overflowing holes 11311 may also be multiple, and a plurality of the first overflowing holes 11311 are spaced on the disc 1131, which is not limited in this application and can be selected by one skilled in the art according to actual needs. The temperature probe 118 is secured via a through hole 11312 in the disk 1131.

The heat pipe 1132 is disposed at one side of the tray body 1131 near the bottom wall 1121 of the outer pot 112. As shown in fig. 5, in the present embodiment, the number of the heat generating pipes 1132 may be two, which are respectively identified as a first heat generating pipe 11321 and a second heat generating pipe 11322. The first heat pipe 11321 is disposed around the periphery of the first overflowing hole 11311 and is used for generating heat during heat conduction cooking. The second heat generation pipe 11322 is disposed around the periphery of the first heat generation pipe 11321, and is used for generating heat during air flow cooking. For example, when the cooking apparatus 100 performs heat conduction cooking, only the first heat generating pipe 11321 operates, and when the cooking apparatus 100 performs air convection cooking, only the second heat generating pipe 11322 operates or both the first heat generating pipe 11321 and the second heat generating pipe 11322 operate simultaneously. The through hole 11312 may be disposed between the first overflowing hole 11311 and the first heat-generating pipe 11321.

In some embodiments, the first and second heat generation pipes 11321 and 11322 may also be arranged side by side in the axial direction of the cooking body, that is, there is no nested relationship between the first and second heat generation pipes 11321 and 11322. In some embodiments, the diameters of the first heat generation tube 11321 and the second heat generation tube 11322 may be equal or substantially equal. In some embodiments, the diameter of the first heat generating pipe 11321 may also be slightly larger than the diameter of the second heat generating pipe 11322, which is not limited in this application and can be selected by those skilled in the art according to actual needs.

As shown in fig. 5, the supporting column 1133 is disposed on one side of the tray body 1131 close to the bottom wall 1121 of the outer pan 112 for forming an elastic support with the elastic support 117. The support column 1133 includes a first column section 11331 and a second column section 11332 connected along the axial direction of the cooking body 110. Wherein the first column section 11331 is disposed on the disk 1131 and the second column section 11332 is supported by the first column section 11331. The first column section 11331 may have a size that is larger than the size of the second column section 11332, i.e., the first column section 11331 is thicker than the second column section 11332.

In this embodiment, the number of support columns 1133 may be three, and are distributed uniformly or approximately uniformly along the first heat-generating tubes 11321. In some embodiments, the number of the support columns 1133 may also be one, two, four, or more, which is not limited in this application and can be selected by one skilled in the art according to actual needs.

The stopper 1134 is used to limit the up-and-down movement of the heating assembly 113 when the cooking apparatus 100 performs heat conduction cooking.

The limiting members 1134 are disposed in one-to-one correspondence with the supporting columns 1133, and therefore, the number of the limiting members 1134 is the same as that of the supporting columns 1133. For example, the limiting member 1134 may be a screw, but the application is not limited thereto, and a person skilled in the art may select the limiting member according to actual requirements.

As shown in fig. 5, the pressing member 1135 is disposed on one side of the tray body 1131 close to the bottom wall 1121 of the outer pan 112 and located between the first heat generating pipe 11321 and the first overflowing hole 11311. When the cooking apparatus 100 performs heat conduction cooking, the pressure generated in the outer pot 112 pushes the heating assembly 113 to move downward along the axis of the cooking body 110, and the pressing member 1135 abuts against the pressure sensing element 116, so that the pressure sensing element 116 can sense the pressure in the outer pot 112. When the cooking apparatus 100 performs the convection cooking, the heating assembly 113 is in the initial position, in which the pressing member 1135 is separated from the pressure-sensitive element 116. As shown in fig. 2, in the present embodiment, the pressure-sensing element 116 may be disposed outside the outer pot 112, and the pressing member 1135 abuts against the pressure-sensing element 116 through the second outer pot through hole on the bottom wall 1121.

With continued reference to fig. 5, terminals 1136 include two first terminals 11361 and two second terminals 11362. Specifically, two first connection terminals 11361 are electrically connected to two ends of the first heat pipe 11321, respectively, and two second connection terminals 11362 are electrically connected to two ends of the second heat pipe 11322, respectively. In this embodiment, the power supply circuit 160 may be disposed outside the outer pot 112, and the first connection terminal 11361 and the second connection terminal 11362 are electrically connected to the power supply circuit 160 through the third outer pot through hole on the bottom wall 1121.

In some embodiments, the heating assembly 113 may include a first heating member and a second heating member. The first heating element may include the above-described disc body 1131, the first heating pipe 11321, the supporting column 1133, the limiting member 1134, the pressing member 1135, and the first connection terminal 11361. The second heating member may include a second heat generating pipe 11322 and a second connection terminal 11362.

In the embodiment shown in fig. 1 and 2, the second heating member is fixed to a plate 1131 in the first heating member so that the first heating member and the second heating member are integrated in the same module.

The first heating member and the second heating member may also be two modules independent of each other. That is, the second heating element may be fixed in the outer pot 112 by other methods, which is not limited in this application and can be selected by those skilled in the art according to actual needs.

As shown in fig. 4, the wind source assembly 114 is disposed corresponding to the first overflowing hole 11311 of the heating assembly 113, for forming air convection in the outer pot 112 during air convection cooking. Specifically, the wind source assembly 114 may include blades 1142 and a drive assembly 1141.

Vanes 1142 may be disposed inside the outer pot 112 corresponding to the first overflow holes 11311 and on a side of the heating assembly 113 facing away from the fry basket 120. In the axial direction of the cooking main body 110, the second heat pipe 11322 is at least partially overlapped with the blades 1142 and is disposed around the blades 1142, so that the second heat pipe 11322 can directly heat the air flow formed by the rotation of the blades 1142, which is beneficial to improving the cooking efficiency of the convection cooking of air. In addition, an axis of the blade 1142 (the axis of the blade may refer to a rotation center axis of the blade) may be parallel or approximately parallel to an axis of the cooking body 110. The driving assembly 1141 may be disposed outside the outer pot 112, and the driving assembly 1141 is connected to the blade 1142 via the fourth outer pot through hole 1123 on the bottom wall 1121.

In this embodiment, the drive assembly 1141 may be a motor and the blade 1142 may be a centrifugal blade. In some embodiments, the blades 1142 may also be axial flow blades. In some embodiments, the blades 1142 may also include both centrifugal blades and axial flow blades, which are not limited in this application and may be selected by one skilled in the art according to actual needs.

Referring to fig. 4 and 6, the heat insulation cover 115 is fixedly disposed on the bottom wall 1121 of the outer pot 112 and located between the heating element 113 and the outer pot 112 to reflect heat radiation generated by the heating element 113 during air convection cooking, so as to prevent heat generated by the heating element 113 from directly radiating to the outer pot 112, reduce temperature rise of other components (such as the pressure sensing element 116, the driving element 1141, the power supply circuit 160, and the control circuit 170) outside the outer pot 112, and further facilitate improvement of reliability of the cooking apparatus 100.

Referring to fig. 7, fig. 7 is a perspective view of the heat shield of the cooking body shown in fig. 4, and the heat shield 115 includes a bottom plate 1151 and a side ring 1152 connected to the bottom plate 1151 and extending toward the heating unit 113. When the cooking apparatus 100 performs convection cooking, the heat pipe 1132 of the heating assembly 113 may be disposed in an area surrounded by the annular side plate 1152, so that the heat shield 115 can reflect heat radiation generated by the heat pipe 1132 as much as possible. Also, the heat generating tube 1132 is spaced apart from the bottom plate 1151 and the annular side plate 1152 of the heat shield 115 at least in the case of air convection cooking to allow hot air to pass therethrough.

Referring to fig. 6, 7 and 8, fig. 8 is a cross-sectional view of another portion of the cooking body shown in fig. 4, and a first heat shield through hole 11511 is formed in a bottom plate 1151 of a heat shield 115. The elastic support 117 is fixedly arranged on the bottom wall 1121 of the outer pot 112, and the elastic support 117 and the heating assembly 113 form an elastic support along the axial direction of the cooking body 110 through the first heat shield through hole 11511, so that the heating assembly 113, the heat shield 115 and the elastic support 117 are intensively arranged, the structure is simple, and the saving of the inner space of the cooking body 110 is facilitated.

In this embodiment, the temperature detector 118 may be disposed between the first overflowing hole 11311 and the first heat-generating pipe 11321.

In one aspect, the first overflowing hole 11311 is disposed in the middle region of the heating assembly 113, and the temperature detector 118 is disposed at the periphery of the first overflowing hole 11311, so that the air source assembly 114 can be disposed in the middle of the cooking main body 110 corresponding to the first convection hole, and then the hot air circulation generated during the air convection cooking can form axial symmetry relative to the axis of the cooking main body 110, so that the food in the fry basket 120 is heated more uniformly. On the other hand, the temperature detector 118 is fixed to the heating element 113 and disposed at the periphery of the first overflowing hole 11311, and thus the structure can be simplified, and the inner space of the cooking body 110 can be fully utilized. In addition, the temperature detector 118 is disposed at the periphery of the first overflowing hole 11311, and compared with a scheme in which the temperature detector 118 is disposed at the middle of the heating assembly 113, the temperature detector 118 is closer to the heating tube 1132, so that the temperature measurement is more accurate.

As shown in fig. 10, the temperature detector 118 includes a body 1181 and a temperature measuring rod 1182 protruding from one end of the body 1181, and the body 1181 is fixed to the disk 1131 by a screw 1180. Specifically, the main body 1181 is fixedly disposed on one side of the tray 1131 close to the bottom wall 1121 of the outer pot 112 (i.e., the side away from the inner pot 130 or the basket 120), and the temperature measuring rod 1182 extends through the through hole 11312 on the tray 1131 to contact with the inner pot 130 for temperature detection.

The thermal insulation member 119 is used to prevent heat on the plate 1131 from being transferred to the temperature detector 118, so as to prevent the temperature detector 118 from overheating and protect the temperature detector 118. Specifically, the heat insulator 119 may be made of a material having a poor heat conductivity, such as ceramic or the like. Of course, the present application is not limited thereto, and those skilled in the art can select the above according to actual needs.

Referring to fig. 10, the heat insulation member 119 includes a first ring 1191 and a second ring 1192, which are sleeved around the temperature measuring rod 1182 and connected to each other along the axial direction of the temperature measuring rod 1182 (the dotted line Y in fig. 10 may refer to the axis of the temperature measuring rod 1182). As shown in fig. 17 and 18, the first ring 1191 is inserted into the through hole 11312 of the tray 1131, and the second ring 1192 is located outside the through hole 11312 and pressed by the main body 1181 to a side of the tray 1131 close to the bottom wall 1121 of the outer pot 112 (i.e., a side of the tray 1131 facing away from the inner pot 130 or the fry basket 120).

Referring to fig. 11, 12 and 13 together, fig. 11 is a schematic sectional structure of the frying basket in the cooking apparatus shown in fig. 1, fig. 12 is a schematic exploded structure of the frying basket shown in fig. 11, fig. 13 is a schematic air duct structure of the cooking apparatus shown in fig. 1, the frying basket 120 includes a main frying basket body 122 and an oil receiving pan 121, a second overflowing hole 12214 is formed in a bottom wall 1221 (marked in fig. 16) of the main frying basket body 122, the oil receiving pan 121 is disposed below the main frying basket body 122, an open end of the oil receiving pan 121 and the main frying basket body 122 are fixedly connected with each other and form a seal along a circumferential direction of the open end of the oil receiving pan 121, the oil receiving pan 121 is provided with a third overflowing hole 12114, wherein the first overflowing hole 11311, the second overflowing hole 12214 and the third overflowing hole 12114 are matched with each other to form a first flow passage communicating with a bottom of the main frying basket body 122, and the oil receiving hole 121 is used for collecting grease and/or residue 12214 dropped through the second overflowing hole.

In one aspect, the fry basket 120 comprises a fry basket body 122 and an oil receiving pan 121 disposed below the fry basket body 122, wherein the oil receiving pan 121 is used for collecting the grease and/or residue falling through the second overflowing hole 12214, so as to prevent the grease and/or residue from leaking out of the fry basket 120, and to improve the anti-leakage performance of the fry basket 120. Further, the open end of the oil receiving pan 121 and the basket main body 122 are connected to each other in a plugging manner, that is, the basket main body 122 and the oil receiving pan 121 are arranged in two pieces, and the height of the sidewall 1212 of the oil receiving pan 121 can be set relatively lower than that of the basket 120 in which the basket main body 122 and the oil receiving pan 121 are integrally arranged, thereby facilitating cleaning.

On the other hand, the open end of oil receiving pan 121 and basket body 122 are fixedly inserted into each other, and a seal is formed along the circumferential direction of the open end of oil receiving pan 121, so that the hot air circulation passages inside basket 120 and outside basket 120 can be independent from each other, thereby being beneficial to ensuring the performance of air convection cooking.

As shown in fig. 13, basket body 122 may be an open-topped cylindrical structure. The outer peripheral wall of the basket 120 is spaced from the inner peripheral wall of the outer pot 112 by a predetermined distance to form a second flow path communicating with the top of the basket body 122. The air source assembly 114 is used for outputting the air in the basket body 122 from the bottom of the basket body 122 through the first flow passage, and inputting the air in the basket body 122 from the top of the basket body 122 into the basket body 122 through the second flow passage after the heating assembly 113 heats the air, so as to heat the food placed in the basket body 122.

As shown in fig. 13, during the air convection cooking of the cooking apparatus 100, the blades 1142 of the air source assembly 114 rotate to output the air in the basket body 122 from the bottom of the basket 120 through the first flow channel, and heat the air after being heated by the heating assembly 113 to form hot air, which flows to the first cover 140 through the second flow channel and then is input into the basket body 122 from the top opening of the basket body 122 under the guiding and intercepting action of the first cover 140 to heat the food placed in the basket body 122.

It should be noted that the description herein of the top of basket body 122 and the bottom of basket body 122 is relative and not specific to a particular location of basket body 122, as long as the top of basket body 122 is above the bottom of basket body 122. For example, the top of the fry basket body 122 is not particularly limited to the top opening of the fry basket body 122, the sidewall 1212 of the fry basket body 122 may be provided with an overflow hole, and the air source assembly 114 is used to output the air in the fry basket body 122 from the bottom of the fry basket 120 through the first flow channel, and input the air in the fry basket body 122 into the fry basket body 122 from the overflow hole in the sidewall 1212 of the fry basket body 122 through the second flow channel after being heated by the heating assembly 113.

In some embodiments, the air source assembly 114 can also input the air heated by the heating assembly 113 in the outer pot 112 into the basket body 122 from the bottom of the basket body 122 through the first flow channel, and output the air from the top of the basket body 122 through the second flow channel after flowing through the food to be cooked.

Referring to fig. 14, fig. 14 is a schematic perspective view of the oil receiving pan in the fry basket shown in fig. 11, the oil receiving pan 121 includes a bottom wall 1211 and a sidewall 1212 surrounding the bottom wall 1211, the sidewall 1212 is cylindrical, and an end of the sidewall 1212 away from the bottom wall 1211 is an opening end of the oil receiving pan 121.

The bottom wall 1211 of the oil pan 121 includes a first sub-bottom wall 12111, a second sub-bottom wall 12112, and a first cylindrical connecting wall 12113. The first sub-bottom wall 12111 is located in a central region of the bottom wall 1211 of the oil pan 121, the second sub-bottom wall 12112 is provided around the periphery of the first sub-bottom wall 12111, the first sub-bottom wall 12111 is located on a side of the second sub-bottom wall 12112 facing the basket main body 122, and the first cylindrical connecting wall 12113 connects the first sub-bottom wall 12111 and the second sub-bottom wall 12112.

The third overflow aperture 12114 may be located on the first cylindrical connecting wall 12113 such that the first sub-bottom wall 12111 is able to block grease and/or debris to a certain extent to prevent grease and/or debris from falling into the first overflow aperture 11311. In the present embodiment, the number of the third overflowing holes 12114 may be plural and spaced apart from each other on the first cylindrical connection wall 12113. Specifically, as shown in fig. 14, a plurality of third overflow holes 12114 may be uniformly distributed around the first cylindrical connection wall 12113 and arranged in a row. In some embodiments, the plurality of third overflow holes 12114 may also be arranged in two or more rows around the first cylindrical connecting wall 12113, which is not limited by the present application and can be selected by one skilled in the art according to actual needs.

The third overflow hole 12114 is spaced from the second sub-bottom wall 12112 in the axial direction of the basket 120 (the dotted line Z in fig. 11 may refer to the axis of the basket 120), that is, the third overflow hole 12114 is spaced from the second sub-bottom wall 12112 in the axial direction of the basket 120, and a collection area for collecting grease and/or debris is formed at the periphery of the first cylindrical connecting wall 12113, so that the drip pan 121 can temporarily store a certain amount of grease and/or debris.

Referring to fig. 15, fig. 15 is another perspective view of the oil receiving pan shown in fig. 14, a limiting ring 1213 may be further disposed on a side of the bottom wall 1211 of the oil receiving pan 121 facing away from the main body 122 of the fry basket, and the limiting ring 1213 is centered with respect to the bottom wall 1211 of the oil receiving pan 121. The inner space of the spacing ring 1213 and the inner space of the first cylindrical connecting wall 12113 communicate with each other. When the oil receiving pan 121 is placed in the outer pan 112, the bottom wall 1211 of the oil receiving pan 121 is supported on the heating assembly 113, and the limiting ring 1213 is inserted into the first overflowing hole 11311 of the heating assembly 113, so that the oil receiving pan 121 and the outer pan 112 form a radial limitation.

With continued reference to fig. 11, the bottom of the basket body 122 is docked to the open end of the drip pan 121 such that the basket body 122 is positioned above the drip pan 121. In some embodiments, the fry basket body 122 and the oil receiving pan 121 may be detachably connected by a movable connection manner such as a snap, and after cooking is finished, a user may take out the fry basket body 122 and the oil receiving pan 121 from the outer pot 112 together.

When cooking apparatus 100 is performing air convection cooking, food to be cooked may be placed within basket body 122. The depth of the basket body 122 may be greater than the depth of the drip pan 121 in the axial direction of the basket 120, so that the inner space of the basket body 122 is relatively large to accommodate relatively more food to be cooked.

Referring to fig. 16, fig. 16 is a cross-sectional view of the basket body of the fry basket of fig. 11 with the basket body 122 including a bottom wall 1221 and side walls 1222 disposed around the bottom wall 1221. Wherein the bottom wall 1221 of the basket main body 122 includes a third sub-bottom wall 12211, a fourth sub-bottom wall 12212, and a second cylindrical connecting wall 12213. The third sub-bottom wall 12211 is located in a middle region of the bottom wall 1221 of the basket main body 122, the fourth sub-bottom wall 12212 is disposed around the periphery of the third sub-bottom wall 12211, the third sub-bottom wall 12211 is located on a side of the fourth sub-bottom wall 12212 facing the top of the basket main body 122, and the second cylindrical connecting wall 12213 connects the third sub-bottom wall 12211 and the fourth sub-bottom wall 12212.

When the oil pan 121 is disposed below the basket main body 122, the third sub bottom wall 12211 is located above the first sub bottom wall 12111, the fourth sub bottom wall 12212 is located above the second sub bottom wall 12112, and the second cylindrical connecting wall 12213 has an inner diameter larger than an outer diameter of the first cylindrical connecting wall 12113 so that the first cylindrical connecting wall 12113 can be inserted into the second cylindrical connecting wall 12213.

After the first cylindrical connecting wall 12113 is inserted into the second cylindrical connecting wall 12213, the first sub bottom wall 12111 and the third sub bottom wall 12211 abut against each other, so that the drip pan 121 can reliably support the basket main body 122. In the axial direction of the fry basket 120, the third overflow hole 12114 and the second cylindrical connecting wall 12213 may coincide to effectively increase the volume of the collection area without increasing the depth of the drip pan 121.

The second overflowing hole 12214 may be disposed on the fourth sub-bottom wall 12212. Specifically, the number of the second overflowing holes 12214 may be plural and arranged on the fourth sub-bottom wall 12212 at intervals. As shown in fig. 13, a certain gap may be preset between the second cylindrical connecting wall 12213 and the first cylindrical connecting wall 12113, so that the air in the basket main body 122 flows out through the second overflowing holes 12214 on the fourth sub-bottom wall 12212, moves downward, and then moves upward, and flows into the third overflowing holes 12114 through the gap between the second cylindrical connecting wall 12213 and the first cylindrical connecting wall 12113, and such a flow passage design enables the grease and/or debris to flow out through the second overflowing holes 12214 and then to be collected in the collection area on the oil pan 121, thereby further reducing the possibility of the grease and/or debris entering the third overflowing holes 12114.

As shown in fig. 11, in the present embodiment, the third overflowing holes 12114 and the second cylindrical connecting wall 12213 may completely coincide in the axial direction of the fry basket 120, that is, the lowermost ends of the third overflowing holes 12114 may be higher than the fourth sub-bottom wall 12212 in the axial direction of the fry basket 120, so that the second cylindrical connecting wall 12213 completely surrounds the third overflowing holes 12114, and the second cylindrical connecting wall 12213 can prevent grease and/or debris from entering the third overflowing holes 12114. In some embodiments, the third overflow hole 12114 and the second cylindrical connecting wall 12213 may partially coincide in the axial direction of the fry basket 120, which is not limited by this application and can be selected by one skilled in the art according to practical requirements.

In some embodiments, the second overflowing hole 12214 may be disposed on the first cylindrical connecting wall 12113 and correspond to the third overflowing hole 12114 on the second cylindrical connecting wall 12213, but such an arrangement requires a high relative position between the basket body 122 and the oil pan 121, the second overflowing hole 12214 and the third overflowing hole 12114 must be aligned exactly to ensure the cooking efficiency of the air convection cooking, and if the second overflowing hole 12214 and the third overflowing hole 12114 are misaligned, a great reduction in the cooking efficiency may be caused. In this embodiment, the second overflowing hole 12214 is provided in the fourth sub-bottom wall 12212, the third overflowing hole 12114 is provided in the first cylindrical connecting wall 12113, and the second overflowing hole and the third overflowing hole 12114 communicate via the gap between the second cylindrical connecting wall 12213 and the first cylindrical connecting wall 12113, and the second and third overflowing holes are not required to be aligned exactly with each other, and the relative position between the basket body 122 and the oil pan 121 is less required.

As shown in fig. 16, the inner surface of the side wall 1222 of the basket body 122 is provided with support projections 12221 for supporting a food tray placed in the basket body 122. In this embodiment, the supporting protrusions 12221 may be formed by inwardly recessing the sidewall 1222 of the fry basket body 122, but this is not limited by this application and may be selected by one skilled in the art according to actual requirements.

< first embodiment-inner pot 130>

Regarding the specific structure of the clearance groove, the application is not limited, and those skilled in the art can select the clearance groove according to actual requirements.

Alternatively, the tray body 3131 of the heating unit 313 may have a curved surface shape protruding in the direction of the basket 320, and the bottom wall 3211 of the basket body 321 may be disposed straight, that is, the bottom wall 3211 of the basket body 321 may have a substantially planar shape. After the basket 320 is placed in the outer pot 312, the bottom wall 3211 of the basket body 321 is supported at the middle portion of the tray body 3131 and spaced apart from the outer peripheral portion of the tray body 3131, and the temperature probe 318 is disposed at the outer peripheral portion of the tray body 3131 so as not to come into contact with the basket 320 (as in the embodiment shown in fig. 19 to 20).

In general, the present application identifies whether a fry basket 320 or an inner pan 330 is placed within an outer pan 312 by pressing or otherwise disabling the switch assembly by depressing 3182 a temperature sensing bar using the difference in the configuration of the bottom surface of the inner pan 330 from the fry basket 320. The specific way to clear the bottom of fry basket 320 from thermometer 318 can be implemented in other ways than the above-described embodiments, and the application is not limited thereto, and can be selected by those skilled in the art according to the actual needs.

In this embodiment, a heat insulating member 319 may be disposed between the temperature detector 318 and the plate 3131 of the heating assembly 313. The specific structure of the thermal insulation member 319 and the relative position relationship among the thermal insulation member 319, the temperature detector 318 and the plate 3131 can be the same as those of the embodiment shown in fig. 1 and 2, and the detailed description is omitted here.

The control circuit is electrically connected to the temperature detector 318, and the control circuit further sets the heat conduction cooking function of the cooking apparatus 300 to an enabled state and sets the air convection cooking function of the cooking apparatus 300 to a disabled state in response to the trigger signal to prevent a user from initiating an erroneous cooking mode. In addition, as in the embodiment shown in fig. 1 and 2, the control circuit can also control the heating element 313 according to the temperature data measured by the temperature detector 318 when the cooking device 300 performs heat conduction cooking.

When the control circuit does not receive the trigger signal, the control circuit may further set the heat conduction cooking function of the cooking apparatus 300 to a disabled state, and set the air convection cooking function of the cooking apparatus 300 to an enabled state, which is within the scope easily understood by those skilled in the art and will not be described herein again.
