Referring to fig. 1 and 3, and in conjunction with fig. 4, a joint structure 100 of the present application includes a first connecting component 10 and a second connecting component 30. The first connector assembly 10 includes a first connector 11 and a first connector 13 disposed at a first end 1101 of the first connector 11. The second connection assembly 30 includes a connection part 31. The connection member 31 and the first joint 11 together define the flow channel 101, and the connection member 31 includes a valve element 313, the valve element 313 being movable relative to the first joint 13 when the first end 3101 of the connection member 31 abuts against the first end 1101 of the first joint 11, and the valve element 313 opening the flow channel 101 when the valve element 313 moves toward the first joint 13.

In the joint structure 100 of the present application, the first connection member 10 and the second connection member 30 are combined with each other and form together a flow passage 101 through which a liquid flows. When the valve element 313 is not moved relative to the second connection assembly 30, the flow passage 101 is in a closed state, and the valve element 313 is in an initial position. In the case of a movement of the valve element 313 towards the first connection piece 13, the flow channel 101 is open for the flow of liquid into or out of the cooking device. When the addition or discharge of the liquid is completed and the valve element 313 returns to the original position, the flow channel 101 is closed, so that the liquid passage can be conveniently turned on and off.

The joint structure 100 is further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

Referring to fig. 1 and 3, and referring to fig. 4, in some embodiments, when the flow channel 101 is in conduction, the junction between the first connection component 10 and the second connection component 30 is sealed, so that the liquid only flows in the flow channel 101 and does not flow out from the junction between the first connection component 10 and the second connection component 30. In some embodiments, the first connection assembly 10 is connected to a liquid storage component and the second connection assembly 30 is used to deliver liquid into or out of the cooking apparatus. At this time, the flowing direction of the liquid is a direction along the first connection assembly 10 toward the second connection assembly 30. In other embodiments, the second connection assembly 30 is connected to a liquid storage component and the first connection assembly 10 is used to deliver liquid into or out of the cooking apparatus. At this time, the flowing direction of the liquid is a direction along the second connection assembly 30 toward the first connection assembly 10. Wherein the liquid flowing within the flow channel 101 includes, but is not limited to, water, oil, liquid flavoring, aqueous solutions of solid flavoring, and the like.

Further, in certain embodiments, the first joint 11 includes opposing first and second ends 1101, 1103 and the connecting member 31 also includes opposing first and second ends 3101, 3103, wherein the first end 1101 of the first joint 11 is opposite the first end 3101 of the connecting member 31. When the first connection assembly 10 and the second connection assembly 30 are coupled to each other, the first end 1101 of the first joint 11 abuts against the first end 3101 of the connection member 31, and the position where the first joint 11 meets the connection member 31 is a sealed structure.

In some embodiments, the first connector 13 is a first magnetic element, the valve element 313 is a magnetically conductive metal member, and when the first end 1101 of the first joint 11 abuts against the first end 3101 of the connecting member 31, the valve element 313 is magnetically influenced and moves relative to the first connector 13 in a direction approaching the first joint 11, so that the first joint 11 and the connecting member 31 are combined with each other and form a flow channel 101 through which the liquid flows.

Further, the first connecting member 13 is disposed at the first end 1101 of the first connector 11, the second connecting member 33 is disposed at the first end 3101 of the connecting member 31, and the first connecting member 13 and the second connecting member 33 can be coupled to each other to allow the communication channel 101 to communicate. In the case where an external force is applied, the first and second connection members 13 and 33 are separated from each other to separate the first joint 11 from the connection part 31.

In some embodiments, the first and second connectors 13 and 33 are formed separately from the first joint 11 and the connecting member 31, respectively. In some examples, the first connector 13 is removably mounted to the first joint 11 and the second connector 33 is removably mounted to the connecting member 31 by means including, but not limited to, a snap fit connection, a threaded connection, and the like. In other examples, the first connector 13 is non-removably secured to the first joint 11 and the second connector 33 is non-removably secured to the connecting member 31 by means including, but not limited to, welding, interference fit, glue, etc.

Specifically, in certain embodiments, the second connector 33 is a second magnetic attraction. The second magnetic attraction member gradually approaches the first magnetic attraction member during the approaching of the first end 3101 of the connection member 31 to the first end 1101 of the first joint 11. When the distance between the first magnetic attraction piece and the second magnetic attraction piece reaches the limit value, the first magnetic attraction piece attracts the second magnetic attraction piece to enable the first joint 11 to move towards the direction close to the connecting part 31 until the first end 3101 of the connecting part 31 abuts against the first end 1101 of the first joint 11, and at this time, the circulation channel 101 is conducted.

More specifically, in some embodiments, the first magnetic attraction and the second magnetic attraction are both permanent magnets. When an external force is applied, the connection member 31 tends to move in a direction away from the first joint 11, and the first magnetic attraction piece and the second magnetic attraction piece attracted to each other can be separated from each other at this time, and when an external force is continuously applied, the first end 3101 of the connection member 31 is separated from the first end 1101 of the first joint 11, and the flow channel 101 is blocked. In other embodiments, the first magnetic attraction member and the second magnetic attraction member are both electromagnets. The flow channel 101 is turned on when one of the first magnetic member and the second magnetic member is energized to be in adsorptive connection with the other, and the flow channel 101 is turned off when one of the first magnetic member and the second magnetic member is turned off to be separated from the other. In still other embodiments, one of the first magnetic member or the second magnetic member is a magnetically permeable metal member. For example: the second connecting member 33 is configured as a magnetically conductive metal member, and when the first end 3101 of the connecting member 31 abuts against the first end 1101 of the first connector 11, the second connecting member 33 is influenced by the magnetic force to drive the valve element 313 to move relative to the first connecting member 13 and to conduct the flow channel 101.

In other embodiments, the first connector 13 is integrally formed with the first connector 11, and the second connector 33 is integrally formed with the connecting member 31. Specifically, in one example, the first connector 13 and the second connector 33 are in a plug-in structure. For example: the first connection member 13 includes a protrusion protruding in a direction away from the first joint 11, and the second connection member 33 is provided with a groove recessed in a direction approaching the connection member 31. In the event that the first end 1101 of the first tab 11 abuts the first end 3101 of the connecting member 31, the protrusion can extend into and mate with the recess to couple the first connector 13 with the second connector 33. The first and second connection members 13 and 33 can be released from the coupling by an external force. In another example, the first and second connectors 13, 33 are snap-fit structures. In the case where the first end 1101 of the first joint 11 abuts against the first end 3101 of the connection member 31, the first connection member 13 can be engaged with the second connection member 33. In the case where the buckle is not released and an external force is applied, the first and second connection members 13 and 33 are still in a coupled state.

Referring to fig. 1 and 2, and in conjunction with fig. 3, in some embodiments, the first connector 11 defines a lumen 1105 extending therethrough, and the connecting member 31 defines a lumen through which fluid flows. With the first connector 13 and the second connector 33 coupled to each other, the inner cavity 1105 of the first joint 11 can communicate with the inner cavity of the connecting member 31.

Further, in some embodiments, the first joint 11 includes a flow guiding portion 111, a mounting portion 113, and a supporting portion 115. The flow guide 111 communicates with the first end 3101 of the connection member 31 for allowing liquid to enter the flow guide 111 through the connection member 31 and exit the joint structure 100 through the flow guide 111, or for allowing liquid to enter the connection member 31 through the flow guide 111 and exit the joint structure 100 through the connection member 31. The mounting portion 113 is located in the guide portion 111, and the mounting portion 113 is used for mounting the first connector 13. The supporting portion 115 is located in the guiding portion 111, and the supporting portion 115 is used for connecting the guiding portion 111 and the mounting portion 113.

Still further, in some embodiments, the deflector 111 includes a first deflector segment 1111 and a second deflector segment 1113, with one end of the first deflector segment 1111 in communication with the connecting member 31. The other end of the first deflector segment 1111 is connected to and communicates with the second deflector segment 1113 to form the internal cavity 1105 of the first fitting 11. In some embodiments, the inner profile dimension of the first deflector segment 1111 decreases gradually and the inner profile dimension of the second deflector segment 1113 is the same everywhere along the direction from the first end 1101 of the first connector 11 to the second end 1103 of the first connector 11. At this time, the second fluid guiding section 1113 may be used to communicate with a part of the cooking apparatus accommodating the liquid or the outside, and the first fluid guiding section 1111 changes the flow rate of the liquid in the first connector 11 by changing the size of the inner diameter. In other embodiments, the inner profile dimensions of the first deflector segment 1111 and the second deflector segment 1113 are the same throughout the direction from the first end 1101 of the first joint 11 to the second end 1103 of the first joint 11.

In some embodiments, the mounting portion 113 is integrally formed with the first connecting member 13, and the position of the mounting portion 113 corresponds to the position of the second connecting member 33. In other embodiments, the mounting portion 113 and the first connecting member 13 are formed as separate pieces.

In some embodiments, the support 115 is generally a plate-like structure, a bar-like structure, or a block-like structure. In some embodiments, the support portion 15 is located only within the first deflector segment 111, i.e., one side of the support portion 115 is connected to the outer sidewall of the mounting portion 113 and the other side of the support portion 115 is connected to the inner sidewall of the first deflector segment 1111. In other embodiments, a portion of the mounting portion 113 is located within the first deflector segment 1111 and another portion is located within the second deflector segment 1113. Correspondingly, a part of the supporting portion 115 is located in the first guiding section 1111, and another part is located in the second guiding section 1113, that is, one side of the supporting portion 115 is connected to an outer sidewall of the mounting portion 113, and the other side of the supporting portion 115 is connected to inner sidewalls of the first guiding section 1111 and the second guiding section 1113, respectively.

In some embodiments, the support portion 115 may include a plurality of support portions 115, each of which is disposed between an outer wall of the mounting portion 113 and an inner wall of the guiding portion 111, and divides the inner cavity 1105 of the first connector 11 into a plurality of subchambers. In some embodiments, the plurality of support portions 115 are uniformly distributed within the inner cavity 1105 of the first joint 11, and the plurality of subchambers into which the plurality of support portions 115 are divided are the same size. In other embodiments, the plurality of support portions 115 are unevenly distributed within the interior cavity 1105 of the first connector 11, and the plurality of subchambers into which the plurality of support portions 115 are divided are different in size.

Referring to fig. 1, in some embodiments, the connecting member 31 further includes a sleeve 311 and a second joint 312. A part of the structure of the second joint 312 is arranged in the sleeve 311, and another part of the structure of the second joint 312 extends out of the sleeve 311. The valve element 313 is accommodated in the second joint 312, and the second connector 33 is attached to the valve element 313. The second joint 312 is movable relative to the sleeve 311 in a direction approaching the first joint 11 and a direction separating from the first joint 11, respectively. In some embodiments, liquid can flow to the first joint 11 via the second joint 312, and in other embodiments, liquid can flow to the second joint 312 via the first joint 11.

Referring to fig. 1 and 3, and referring to fig. 4, in some embodiments, the sleeve 311 has a substantially cylindrical structure, and the sleeve 311 has an inner cavity 3115. The sleeve 311 includes opposite first and second ends 3111 and 3113, and the first end 3111 of the sleeve 311 is the first end 3101 of the connecting member 31. With the first connector 11 and the connecting member 31 coupled to one another, the first end 3111 of the sleeve 311 abuts the first end 1101 of the first connector 11 such that a portion of the lumen 3115 of the sleeve 311 is in communication with the lumen 1105 of the first connector 11. In some embodiments, the first end 3111 of the sleeve 311 is capable of self-sealing when it abuts the first end 1101 of the first fitting 11, preventing fluid from seeping from the junction of the two. In other embodiments, the joint structure 100 may also include a sealing member. The sealing part is a structure which can generate certain deformation after being stressed. The material of the sealing member includes, but is not limited to, asbestos, leather, rubber, polytetrafluoroethylene plastic, and the like. In one example, a sealing member is disposed between the first end 3111 of the sleeve 311 and the first end 1101 of the first fitting 11. In the event that the first end 3111 of the sleeve 311 abuts the first end 1101 of the first fitting 11, one side of the seal assembly is in close proximity to the first end 3111 of the sleeve 311 and the other side of the seal member is in close proximity to the first end 1101 of the first fitting 11 to avoid fluid leakage. In another example, the sealing member is sleeved on the sleeve 311 and is located at the connection between the first end 3111 of the sleeve 311 and the first end 1101 of the first joint 11, so as to seal a gap at the connection between the first end 3111 of the sleeve 311 and the first end 1101 of the first joint 11, and avoid liquid leakage.

Referring to fig. 3 and 4, in conjunction with fig. 1, in some embodiments, the second joint 312 may be used to drive the valve element 313 to move in a direction approaching the first joint 11 and moving away from the first joint 11. One end of the second connector 312 passes through the second end 3113 of the sleeve 311 and out of the sleeve 311, and the other end of the second connector 312 is accommodated in the inner cavity 3115 of the sleeve 311. The second joint 312 is movable to a first position and a second position in the extending direction of the inner wall of the sleeve 311. With the second connector 312 in the first position, the first connector 13 is separated from the second connector 33, the second connector 312 abuts against the inner wall of the second end 3113 of the sleeve 311, and the flow channel 101 is in the closed state, as shown in fig. 3. With the second connector 312 in the second position, the first connector 13 is coupled to the second connector 33, and the flow channel 101 is in a conductive state, as shown in fig. 4.

Further, in some embodiments, the second joint 312 includes a first sub-portion 3121 and a second sub-portion 3123 that are joined and in communication. The first sub-portion 3121 and the second sub-portion 3123 are respectively provided with an inner cavity that is mutually communicated, and the inner cavity of the first sub-portion 3121 and the inner cavity of the second sub-portion 3123 together form an inner cavity 31201 of the second joint 312. The second sub-portion 3123 is located closer to the first joint 11 than the first sub-portion 3121.

Further, the first sub-portion 3121 includes opposite first and second ends 31211, 31213 and the second sub-portion 3123 also includes opposite first and second ends 31231, 31233. The first end 31211 of the first sub-portion 3121 is connected to the second end 31233 of the second sub-portion 3123, and the second end 31213 of the first sub-portion 3121 extends out of the sleeve 311 through the second end 3113 of the sleeve 311. The second sub-portion 3123 is accommodated in the sleeve 311, and a space between an outer sidewall of the second sub-portion 3123 and an inner sidewall of the sleeve 311 is sealed such that liquid cannot flow out through a space between the outer sidewall of the second sub-portion 3123 and the inner sidewall of the sleeve 311. The first end 31231 of the second sub-portion 3123 is proximate the first joint 11. In some embodiments, the first end 31231 of the second sub-portion 3123 abuts the first joint 11 in the event that the first joint 11 abuts the sleeve 311. In other embodiments, in the event that the first joint 11 abuts the sleeve 311, a gap is provided between the first end 31231 of the second sub-portion 3123 and the first joint 11.

In some embodiments, liquid can flow in through the first sub-portion 3121 and out of the second sub-portion 3123. In other embodiments, liquid can flow in through the second sub-portion 3123 and out of the first sub-portion 3121.

Still further, in some embodiments, the outer dimension of the first sub-portion 3121 is smaller than the outer dimension of the second sub-portion 3123, and therefore, a limiting surface is formed at the junction of the first sub-portion 3121 and the second sub-portion 3123. The second end 3113 of the sleeve 311 is provided with a through hole 31131, and the diameter of the through hole 31131 is smaller than the diameter of the inner contour of the sleeve 311, so that the second end 3113 of the sleeve 311 is formed with an abutment surface extending in the direction of the through hole 31131 along the inner side wall of the sleeve 311. When the second joint 312 is located at the first position, the first sub-portion 3121 protrudes through the through hole 31131, and the limiting surface formed between the first sub-portion 3121 and the second sub-portion 3123 abuts against the abutment surface of the inner wall of the sleeve 311, so that the second sub-portion 3123 cannot pass through the sleeve 311 through the through hole 31131, and the second sub-portion 3123 is always accommodated in the sleeve 311. With the second joint 312 in the second position, the first connector 13 engages with the second connector 33 and the first end 31231 of the second sub-portion 3123 abuts the first end 1101 of the first joint 11.
