As shown in fig. 1, the cooking appliance according to the present utility model generally includes a pot body 100 and a cover body (not shown). The pot 100 has a substantially rounded rectangular parallelepiped shape, and the pot 100 has a middle plate 2 (see fig. 3) and a housing assembly 3 (see fig. 4). Wherein the middle part of the middle plate 2 is provided with a cylindrical accommodating cavity or an elliptical cylindrical accommodating cavity, and the inner pot 1 can be freely put into or taken out from the accommodating cavity so as to conveniently clean the inner pot 1. As shown in fig. 2, the inner pot 1 is generally made of a metal material and has a circular or oval opening on an upper surface for holding a material to be heated, such as rice, soup, milk, etc. The cooker body 100 includes therein a heating means for heating the inner pot 1.

The cover has a shape substantially corresponding to the pot 100. The cover is openably and closably disposed on the pot body 100, and in particular, is pivotally connected to the pot body 100 by a pivot axis, and is capable of freely pivoting between a closed position and an open position relative to the pot body 100 about the pivot axis where the pivot axis is located, so as to facilitate closing and opening of the pot body 100. When the cover is covered on the pot body 100, it covers the inner pot 1 and forms a cooking space with the inner pot 1. A sealing element is also arranged between the cover body and the inner pot 1, so that the cooking space can keep good sealing performance.

In addition, the cooking appliance further includes a support 201. The support 201 is provided at the periphery of the opening 4 of the pot body 100 through which the inner pot 1 passes, and the support 201 extends upward from the top of the middle plate 2 to support the rim 101 of the inner pot 1, separating the inner pot 1 from the surface of the middle plate 2.

The support 201 is made of the same material as the middle plate 2, and is provided along the periphery of the opening 4, that is, the material constituting the support 201 is directly bonded to the middle plate 2 as a base, and the middle plate 2 having the support 201 is directly obtained by, for example, one-shot injection molding. Therefore, the trouble of setting a complex assembly structure can be omitted, the structure can be simplified, the number of parts is reduced, the manufacturing is convenient, the connection strength is reliable, and the failure is not easy to occur. In addition, the assembly process in production can be simplified, the labor cost is reduced, and the production efficiency is improved.

In this embodiment, the pot 100 mainly includes a housing assembly 3 and a middle plate 2 coupled to the top thereof. The housing assembly 3 further includes a base and a sidewall extending upward from an edge of a bottom wall of the base, and the bottom wall and the sidewall enclose an accommodating space to accommodate various components disposed in the pot body 100. The middle plate 2 is arranged above the base to seal the whole accommodating space and plays a role in protecting internal parts. The middle plate 2 is provided with an opening 4 at the middle part, which penetrates through the inner pot 1. As shown in fig. 1 and 3, the middle plate 2 is provided with two recesses 5 facing each other along the periphery of the opening 4, and the two recesses 5 are disposed at both sides of the center line of the pot body 100 in the front-rear direction. The ends of the pot body 100 having a rounded rectangular parallelepiped shape are provided with an operation button or panel, one end being close to the user, generally referred to as a front end, and the end being farther from the user is referred to as a rear end, the rear end being directed in a rearward direction D2 from the front end to the rear end, and the front end being directed in a forward direction D1 from the rear end to the front end (see fig. 1 or 3 for details). Further, in order to facilitate the pan taking operation of the user and to ensure the symmetrical and beautiful appearance of the design, the two concave parts 5 are symmetrically arranged along the center line of the front and rear direction of the cooker body.
