In some examples, the carrier device 100 is configured in a regular or irregular shape such as a rectangle or a circle. For example, the carrier device 100 of the present application is configured in a rectangular shape, and the first cover 200 is configured in a cylindrical shape. The cross-sectional area of the first cover 200 is the same as the cross-sectional area of the carrier device 100, so that the first cover 200 can be covered on the carrier device 100, thereby sealing the cooking space 20.

2 , the carrier device 100 includes a first electrical connector 40 , and the first cover 200 includes a second electrical connector 220 . The first electrical connector 40 and the second electrical connector 220 cooperate to be energized.

Specifically, the carrying device 100 may be provided with a power cord 90 to connect to a power source, and the carrying device 100 may supply power to the first cover 200 through the first electrical connector 40, so that the hot air assembly 210 can heat the food in the cooking space 20. The first electrical connector 40 may be provided at the edge of the carrying device 100, and the first electrical connector 40 extends from the carrying device 100 to the first cover 200. The second electrical connector 220 may be provided at the edge of the first cover 200, and the second electrical connector 220 bends and extends from the edge of the first cover 200 to the carrying device 100, so that the first electrical connector 40 and the second electrical connector 220 are coupled and connected, and the coupling function may be to transmit or convert the energy of a certain circuit to another circuit, that is, the first electrical connector 40 may convert the power of the carrying device 100 to the second electrical connector 220, so that the carrying device 100 supplies power to the first cover 200, so that the first cover 200 can heat the food in the cooking space 20.

In some embodiments, the first cover 200 may be provided with a power connection device 230, which may be connected to a power source or a battery, so as to supply power to the first cover 200, that is, to the hot air assembly 210, so that the hot air assembly 210 can heat the food in the cooking space 20. In this way, the first cover 200 can be disassembled for use alone, or assembled with a battery for use in an environment without power supply, thereby improving the practicality of the first cover 200.

Please refer to Figure 2. The lower heating element 10 can be electrically connected to the power cord 90. The lower heating element 10 is used to heat the food in the cooking space 20. That is, the power cord 90 can supply power to the lower heating element 10 so that the lower heating element 10 can heat the cooking space 20.

In some examples, the cooking appliance 1000 includes at least a first cooking mode and a second cooking mode, wherein the first cooking mode is a mode such as air frying or dehydrating, and the second cooking mode is a mode such as boiling, steaming, or stewing.

Please refer to Figure 2. In the first cooking mode, the first cover 200 is set on the supporting device 100. When the cooking utensil 1000 is cooking, food to be cooked is placed in the cooking space 20. The supporting device 100 is connected to the power cord 90 to supply power to the lower heating element 10 and the first electrical connector 40. The first electrical connector 40 is connected to the second electrical connector 220 to supply power to the first cover 200, thereby controlling the first cover 200 and the lower heating element 10 to heat the food to be cooked in the cooking space 20 at the same time. For example, the cooking utensil 1000 can realize the function of an air fryer. The user can control the hot air component 210 to blow hot air into the cooking space 20 to heat the food, and control the lower heating element 10 to heat the cooking space 20, thereby improving the cooking efficiency of the cooking space 20.

In some examples, when the cooking appliance 1000 is in the first cooking mode, the hot air assembly 210 of the first cover 200 can blow hot air into the cooking space 20 to heat the food in the cooking space 20. When the hot air flows, the moisture in the food is evaporated, thereby dehydrating the food. It should be noted that when the working mode of the cooking appliance 1000 is the first cooking mode, at least the hot air assembly 210 is in the working state, that is, the first cover 200 is at least used in the first cooking mode.

Furthermore, the supporting device 100 also includes a baking tray 50, which can be made of a high-temperature resistant metal material. A plurality of filter holes 51 can be opened on the baking tray 50, and the filter holes 51 are used for ventilation and heat transfer. The plurality of filter holes 51 are arranged in an array, and the sizes of the plurality of filter holes 51 can be the same or different. For example, please refer to Figure 3. The baking tray 50 of the present application can be provided with large filter holes 51 and small filter holes 51, and the plurality of large filter holes 51 and the plurality of small filter holes 51 are arranged at intervals. The baking tray 50 is detachably arranged in the cooking space 20. The baking tray 50 is used to carry food to be cooked. When the cooking utensil 1000 is in the first cooking mode, the baking tray 50 is installed in the cooking space 20. The first cover 200 and the lower heating element 10 heat the cooking space 20 at the same time. The first cover 200 allows hot air to flow to the baking tray 50. On the one hand, the hot air can heat the food and the baking tray 50. On the other hand, the hot air can blow the juice and oil produced by the food to the filter hole 51 for outflow, thereby solving the problem of low heat exchange efficiency caused by residual juice and oil in the baking tray 50, and improving the cooking efficiency of the cooking utensil 1000. The lower heating element 10 can transfer heat to the baking tray 50 and the filter hole 51, thereby heating the food and making the food heated evenly.

Please refer to Figure 4. In some examples, the supporting device 100 also includes a guide structure 60, which is located below the baking tray 50 and is configured as a protrusion facing the hot air component 210. The guide structure 60 is used to guide the air in the cooking space 20 vertically toward the baking tray 50. That is, the hot air generated by the hot air component 210 flows along the side wall 30 to the guide structure 60. Under the guidance of the guide structure 60, the hot air flows vertically toward the baking tray 50. In this way, the penetration of the hot air is improved, so that the food on the baking tray 50 is heated more evenly. At the same time, the protrusion can also increase the heating area, thereby improving the cooking efficiency of the cooking appliance 1000.

Please refer to Figure 5. In the second cooking mode, the first cover 200 can be separated from the carrying device 100. The cooking utensil 1000 also includes a second cover 500. The second cover 500 is detachably arranged on the carrying device 100. The cooking utensil 1000 only heats the cooking space 20 through the lower heating element 10. For example, the cooking utensil 1000 can realize the functions of a hot pot, a boiling pot, a steamer, etc. The user puts food and water into the cooking space 20 and controls the lower heating element 10 to turn on. The lower heating element 10 heats the cooking space 20. The user can also cover the second cover 500 on the carrying device 100 to reduce the heat exchange between the cooking space 20 and the external environment, thereby improving the cooking efficiency of the cooking utensil 1000.

In some embodiments, when the cooking utensil 1000 is in the second cooking mode, the first cover 200 can be covered on the carrier 100, and the hot air assembly 210 of the first cover 200 and the lower heating element 10 heat the cooking space 20 simultaneously, thereby improving the cooking efficiency of the second cooking mode. It should be noted that when the working mode of the cooking utensil 1000 is the second cooking mode, at least the lower heating element 10 is in the working state.

In some examples, the baking tray 50 is disposed in the cooking space 20, and the cooking utensil 1000 is in the second cooking mode. When the water level in the cooking space 20 is lower than the baking tray 50, the baking tray 50 can be used as a steaming tray, that is, the food to be heated is placed on the baking tray 50, and the food on the baking tray 50 is steamed by heating the water in the cooking space 20. When the water level in the cooking space 20 is higher than the baking tray 50, the baking tray 50 can be used as a filtering tray. For example, when the cooking utensil 1000 is used to make tea, the tea is placed on the baking tray 50 for cooking, and when the cooking utensil 1000 finishes cooking, the baking tray 50 is taken out to filter the tea residue.

In some examples, the lower heating element 10 may be a heating film, which may be composed of a base layer, an insulating layer, and a conductive layer. The base layer is a supporting layer of the heating film, and is usually made of materials such as polyimide film, polyamide film, or polyamide ester film. The insulating layer is used to isolate the portion between the conductive layer and the base layer, and is usually made of materials such as polyamide film or polyamide ester film. The conductive layer is a key component of the heating film, which can make the heating film have good electrical conductivity. The conductive layer is usually made of a metal film (such as copper, aluminum, nickel, etc.). When the heating film is powered on, the current passes through the conductive layer with higher resistance, so that the conductive layer generates heat and exchanges heat with the bottom wall 80, thereby heating the cooking space 210.

In some examples, the lower heating element 10 may be an IH wire coil, the bottom wall 80 may be made of a microcrystalline glass plate, a metal part is installed between the lower heating element 10 and the bottom wall 80, and the metal part is bonded to the bottom wall 80, that is, the IH wire coil can cooperate with the metal part through electromagnetic heating technology to heat the metal part, so that the metal part exchanges heat with the bottom wall 80, so that the IH wire coil can heat the cooking space 20.

In some examples, the lower heating element 10 may be a thin film heater, which may be made of a conductive polymer material, and may be provided with an electrode layer, a heating layer, and an insulating layer, wherein the electrode layer is used to transmit electrical energy, the heating layer is used to convert electrical energy into thermal energy, and the insulating layer is used for isolation and insulation, and the heating layer may be made of a high resistance material, for example, the heating layer may be made of a chromium-aluminum alloy. That is, the thin film heater converts electrical energy into thermal energy, thereby transferring the thermal energy to the cooking space 20 to achieve heating.

In some examples, the heating film is located on the side of the carrier device 200 facing the heating space, and the heating film covers the bottom wall and the side wall of the inner cavity of the carrier device 200, or the heating film forms the bottom wall and the side wall of the inner cavity of the carrier device 200, so that there is no gap or seam between one part of the bottom wall of the carrier device 200 and another part, or between the bottom wall and the side wall of the carrier device 200, thereby avoiding oil and dirt accumulation and improving cleaning efficiency.

Please refer to Figure 6. In some examples, the cooking appliance 1000 also includes an egg steaming rack 70, which is movably arranged in the cooking space 20. The egg steaming rack 70 is provided with multiple egg holes for placing eggs. For example, the egg steaming rack 70 may include seven egg holes. The egg steaming rack 70 is placed in the cooking space 20, and the water level of the cooking space 20 is not higher than the setting of the egg steaming rack 70. The user can place eggs on the egg holes and turn on the lower heating element 10, so that the lower heating element 10 heats the water in the cooking space 20 and generates water vapor, and the water vapor rises to the egg steaming rack 70, thereby achieving the egg steaming effect.

In the cooking utensil 1000 of the present application, by arranging the lower heating element 10 on the carrying device 100 for heating the food in the cooking space 20, the cooking utensil 1000 includes at least a first cooking mode and a second cooking mode. The first cooking mode is that at least the first cover 200 heats the cooking space 20, so that the cooking utensil 1000 realizes an air frying or dehydration mode, and the second cooking mode is that at least the lower heating element 10 heats the cooking space 20, so that the cooking space 20 can realize functions such as a hot pot, a boiling pot, and a steamer. In this way, the heating function of the cooking utensil 1000 is increased, the practicality of the cooking utensil 1000 is improved, and the use needs of users are met.

Please refer to FIG. 2 . In some embodiments, the carrier 100 is formed with a side wall 30. At least a portion of the side wall 30 is a transparent area 31. The transparent area 31 can be made of a glass material. The glass material can be high borosilicate glass that is harmless to the human body and resistant to high temperatures. In this way, the transparent area 31 is light in structure and simple to manufacture. When the user uses the cooking utensil 1000 to cook, he can observe the cooking status of the food through the transparent area 31.

Furthermore, the transparent area 31 of the present application occupies more than 70% of the total area of the side wall 30. For example, the transparent area 31 may occupy 75%, 80%, 85%, etc. of the total area of the side wall 30. The specific configuration may be made according to actual conditions and is not limited here. In this way, the transparent area 31 satisfies the user's need to observe the food in the cooking space 20, and avoids the transparent area 31 occupying a small area on the side wall 30, which causes inconvenience to the user.

In some embodiments, the carrier device 100 may form at least two layers of side walls 30, each layer of the side walls 30 at least partially has a transparent area 31, and the transparent area 31 may be made of glass material. A vacuum process is used between the two layers of the side walls 30, that is, the two layers of the side walls 30 are in a vacuum state, thereby reducing the heat transfer between the cooking space 20 and the external environment. On the one hand, it can achieve a heat preservation effect, and on the other hand, it can prevent users from accidentally touching the side walls 30 and causing burns, thereby improving the safety of the cooking utensil 1000. The side walls 30 are provided with transparent areas 31 so that users can observe the cooking status of food. In this application, the overlapping transparent areas 31 of the two layers of the side walls 30 account for more than 70% of the total area of each layer of the side walls 30. The specific configuration can be made according to actual conditions and is not limited here.

It should be noted that the height-to-diameter ratio of the supporting device 100 is set to no more than 1.6, which avoids the situation where the height of the supporting device 100 is too high, resulting in the hot air generated by the hot air component 210 being unable to heat the food in the cooking space 20, thereby affecting the cooking efficiency. The height-to-diameter ratio of the supporting device 100 is set to be greater than 1, so that it occupies more space in the height direction, reduces the space occupied in the horizontal direction, and saves placement space. In addition, compared with the case where the height-to-diameter ratio is less than 1, the center of gravity of the supporting device 100 in this case is higher, which is convenient for carrying. The volume of the cooking space 20 is set to no more than 2L, which reduces the space occupied by the cooking utensil 1000 and improves the cooking efficiency of the cooking utensil 1000. At the same time, due to its small size, it can be more conveniently used in scenarios that require carrying, such as picnics, etc., realizing both steaming, cooking and air frying in one, and indoor and outdoor integration.

Please refer to FIG. 2 . In some embodiments, the carrier 100 further includes a bottom wall 80. The bottom wall 80 and the side wall 30 enclose a cooking space 20. A seal is installed at the joint of the bottom wall 80 and the side wall 30 so that the bottom wall 80 and the side wall 30 are sealed and connected. That is, the cooking space 20 is sealed to prevent the oil and water in the cooking space 20 from leaking to the bottom wall 80. The lower heating element 10 is attached to the bottom wall 80. The lower heating element 10 can heat the cooking space 20. For example, the bottom wall 80 can be arranged in a cylindrical cavity. The lower heating element 10 can be installed on the bottom wall 80. The bottom wall 80 and the side wall 30 can be an integrally formed structure or a split-formed structure. In some embodiments, the lower heating element 10 can be formed as the bottom wall 80. That is, the lower heating element 10 and the side wall 30 enclose a cooking space 20. The lower heating element 10 and the side wall 30 are sealed and connected, so that the lower heating element 10 heats the cooking space 20. The connection form between the bottom wall 80 and the side wall 30 can be configured according to actual conditions. The present application takes the example of a heating element being provided in the bottom wall 80, and no specific limitation is made here.

In conjunction with FIG. 2 and FIG. 7 , in some embodiments, the cooking appliance 1000 further includes a first thermostat 300 and a second thermostat 400 .

In some embodiments, the first thermostat 300 is disposed near the hot air assembly 210, and the second thermostat 400 is disposed near the lower heating element 10, that is, the first thermostat 300 is used to detect the temperature of the hot air assembly 210, and the second thermostat 400 is used to detect the temperature of the lower heating element 10. When the first thermostat 300 detects that the temperature of the hot air assembly 210 is greater than the first preset temperature, the first thermostat 300 can control the hot air assembly 210 to be turned off, thereby preventing the first cover 200 from being damaged due to the over-high temperature of the hot air assembly 210, thereby improving the service life of the first cover 200. When the second thermostat 400 detects that the temperature of the lower heating element 10 is greater than the second preset temperature, the second thermostat 400 can control the lower heating element 10 to be turned off, thereby preventing the lower heating element 10 from being damaged due to the over-high temperature, thereby improving the service life of the carrying device 100.

In other embodiments, the first thermostat 300 and the second thermostat 400 may be disposed close to the cooking space 20, that is, the first thermostat 300 and the second thermostat 400 may be used to detect the temperature of the cooking space 20. The first thermostat 300 is configured to control the hot air component 210 on and off in response to the temperature threshold of the first cooking mode, that is, when the cooking appliance 1000 is in the first cooking mode, the first thermostat 300 may detect the temperature of the cooking space 20, and when the temperature of the cooking space 20 is greater than the temperature threshold of the first cooking mode, the first thermostat 300 controls the hot air component 210 to be turned off, so that the hot air component 210 stops heating.

When it is detected that the temperature of the drive motor 215 is higher than a specified temperature, the heating tube 211 and the drive motor 215 are turned off to avoid damage to the drive motor 215 due to high temperature operation, thereby increasing the service life of the first cover 200.

Further, please refer to FIG. 7 , the first cover 200 also includes a shell 250, the hot air assembly 210 is arranged in the shell 250, the shell 250 includes a protective cover 251 and a shell 252, the protective cover 251 is arranged between the hot air assembly 210 and the carrying device 100, and the shell 252 is covered on the protective cover 251 and forms a second accommodation space together with the protective cover 251, that is, the hot air assembly 210 is arranged in the second accommodation space. The protective cover 251 is arranged in a mesh shape, that is, the first heat sink 212 can dissipate the heat energy generated by the heating tube 211 to the cooking space 20 through the protective cover 251, thereby heating the food in the cooking space 20.

In some examples, the shell 250 also includes a reflective cover 253, which is disposed in the second accommodating space and divides the second accommodating space into a first area and a second area, wherein the first area is disposed close to the protective cover 251, and the second area is located on the side of the first area away from the protective cover 251, wherein the heating tube 211 and the first heat sink 212 are located in the first area, and the second heat sink 213, the drive motor 215 and the temperature sensor 214 are located in the second area, and the reflective cover 253 is used to guide the air heated by the heating tube 211 to the cooking space 20, that is, the first heat sink 212 discharges air toward the reflective cover 253, and the air in the cooking space 20 passes through the heating tube 211 and is heated by the heating tube 211 under the suction of the first heat sink 212, and the first heat sink 212 blows the heated air toward the reflective cover 253, and the air is guided to the cooking space 20 by the reflective cover 253, thereby forming an air circulation.

In some examples, a steam channel 240 is provided on the first cover 200. The steam channel 240 is used to discharge the steam in the cooking space 20. The steam channel 240 can be provided between the protective cover 251 and the reflective cover 253. The high-temperature and high-pressure steam generated in the cooking space 20 can enter the first area through the protective cover 251 and be output to the external environment through the steam channel 240. In this way, by providing the steam channel 240, on the one hand, the air pressure balance in the cooking space 20 can be maintained, and on the other hand, the steam in the cooking space 20 can be prevented from entering the second area of the first cover 200, thereby preventing damage to electronic components such as the drive motor 215.

In some examples, the first cover 200 further includes a fixing frame 260 and a motor bracket 270.
