The outer pan base 11 covers at least the bottom of the inner pan base 12. The local functional body 13 is positioned at least at the bottom of the pan body 2.

Alternatively, the partial function body 13 is provided at the bottom and a part of the side of the pot body 2, and the outer pot base 11 covers the partial function body 13 from the outside while covering the bottom and a part of the side of the inner pot base 12.
In order to enhance heat convection in the inner container 1 during cooking, as shown in fig. 3 and 4, adjacent two partial functional bodies 13 (see fig. 7 a) or adjacent portions of a single partial functional body 13 itself (see fig. 7 b) are arranged at intervals in at least one of the radial direction, the circumferential direction and the height direction of the inner container 2 to form a partial temperature difference region at the inner surface of the inner container 1. The pot body 2 comprises a pot body bottom 3 and a pot body side 4 which are connected. At least the bottom 3 of the pot body is configured in an arc or sphere shape, so that at least the bottom of the outer pot base 11 is configured in an arc or sphere shape, and the local functional body 13 is at least arranged at the bottom 3 of the pot body, in particular at the bottom of the outer pot base 11. Fig. 1 schematically shows an arc-shaped pot bottom 3 and a partly straight-walled pot side 4. One example, not shown, is that the pot bottom 3 and the pot side 4 form a spherical shape. Another example, not shown, is that the pot bottom 3 and the pot side 4 form straight walls.
When the local functional body 13 is arranged at the bottom of the pot body 2, the local functional body 13 is arranged at intervals in at least one of the radial direction and the circumferential direction of the pot body 2 for the straight-wall-shaped pot body bottom 3, and the local functional body 13 is arranged at intervals in the circumferential direction, or the radial direction and the height direction, or the radial direction, the circumferential direction and the height direction of the pot body 2 for the arc/spherical pot body bottom 3.

At least the inner pot base 12 is a heat conductor for transferring heat towards the inside of the pot liner 1. As shown in fig. 1 and 2, a cavity 14 is formed between the part of the outer pot base 11 which is not connected by the local functional body 13 and the inner pot base 12, and the cavity 14 is located at least at the interval of the local functional body 13. In other words, the local functional bodies 13 are separated by the cavities 14. Thus, the middle layer of the pot liner 1 comprises a local functional body 13 and a cavity 14. The heat of the outer pot base body 11 can be transferred to the inner pot base body 12 through the local functional body 13, but is blocked by the cavities 14 at the intervals of the local functional body 13, so that the heat transfer efficiency of different areas of the middle layer of the pot liner 1 is different, the heat transfer efficiency of the area where the local functional body 13 is positioned is higher than that of the area where the cavity 14 is positioned, and a local temperature difference area is formed on the inner surface of the pot liner 1.
So arranged, the inner surface of the pot 1 can have a first temperature zone corresponding to the local functional body 13 and a second temperature zone corresponding to the cavity 14 at the interval of the local functional body 13. When the pot liner 1 is heated, the temperature of the first temperature area of the pot liner 1 can be obviously higher than that of the second temperature area, further the first temperature area is a high temperature area, and the second temperature area is a low temperature area, so that a local temperature difference area is formed between the two areas, and obvious temperature gradient can be generated. The temperature gradient is utilized to promote the heat convection in the pot to be fast and severe, so that the boiling and rolling of the liquid and the food materials in the pot are more sufficient, the food materials are heated more uniformly, and the consistency of the cooking effect of the food is better. In addition, when the inner surface of the pot liner 1 has local temperature difference areas at a plurality of positions, the temperature difference is utilized, and the food materials such as rice grains contacted with the inner surface of the pot liner 1 can generate stress deformation and viscosity change due to expansion, so that the inner surface of the pot liner 1 has non-adhesive performance, and the non-coating non-adhesive performance is realized.
In addition, the local functional body 13 is arranged in the pot body 2, so that the substrate forming the inner surface and the substrate forming the outer surface of the pot body 2 are respectively integrated, and gaps are avoided from being generated at the inner surface or the outer surface of the pot body 2 due to the combination of the local functional body 13, thereby solving the problems that the gaps are easy to be enlarged, the edges of the gaps are raised, the coatings at the gaps are easy to fall off and the like in the use process. Therefore, the scheme provides the pot liner 1 with the surface having no gap and multiple local temperature difference areas, the pot liner 1 is provided with a multi-layer base structure, the local functional body 13 of the middle layer at least plays a role in heat transfer, and the cavity 14 of the middle layer plays a role in heat blocking, so that the generation of the local temperature difference areas is realized. In addition, the local functional body 13 is arranged in the pot body 2, so that the outer surface of the pot body 2 does not need to be provided with a graph corresponding to the local functional body 13, the positioning of the outer surface is not needed to be considered when the pot body 2 is manufactured, and the processing difficulty is reduced.
The outer pot base 11 may be a magnetic conductor or a heat conductor so that heat is generated by electromagnetic heating or heat from the heating means is absorbed to meet cooking needs. The inner pot base 12 may be a heat conductor such that heat of the local functional body 13 is conducted to the food.
The local functional body 13 is a heat conductor or a magnetizer. The local functional body 13 can transfer the heat of the outer pot base body 11 to the inner pot base body 12 through heat conduction when being a heat conductor, and the local functional body 13 can generate heat under the action of partial magnetic force lines in a magnetic field when being a magnetizer and simultaneously transfer the heat of the outer pot base body 11 to the inner pot base body 12.
As an example, the outer pot base 11 is a magnetic conductor, and the local functional body 13 is a heat conductor or a magnetic conductor. The outer pot base body 11 can generate heat through electromagnetic heating, and the local functional body 13 can conduct heat or generate heat, so that the electric heating cooker is suitable for electromagnetic heating cooking appliances. Another example is that the outer pot base 11 is a heat conductor and the local functional body 13 is a heat conductor. The outer pot base 11 can absorb heat from the heating device, and the local functional body 13 can conduct heat, so that the electric heating cooker is suitable for electric heating cooking appliances.
When the outer pan base 11 covers the side and bottom of the inner pan base 12, as shown in fig. 2, the cavity 14 includes a first cavity 15 for forming a partial temperature difference region and a second cavity 16 for side insulation, the first cavity 15 is formed at a space of the partial functional body 13, and the second cavity 16 is located at the side of the pan body 2. The pot liner 1 has the effect of non-uniform heating and boiling at the bottom or the bottom and part of the side parts due to the action of the first cavity 15, the pot liner 1 has the heat preservation effect at the side parts due to the action of the second cavity 16, the heat of the inner side of the pot liner 1 is prevented from radiating from the side parts, and the cooking temperature of food in the pot liner 1 is ensured. The pot liner 1 of the scheme is suitable for a cooking utensil without a side heating device.
The air volume within the cavity 14 should not be excessive in view of the pressure created by the thermal expansion of the air, which may lead to safety hazards, and the cavity 14 is typically filled with air at a pressure below atmospheric pressure. The pressure of the heated expansion of the air is not too high, so that the pressure generated by the heated expansion of the air can be prevented from extruding and deforming the cooker body 2, the dangers of cracking and explosion of the cooker body 2 are avoided, and the product safety of the cooker liner is improved. Optionally, the vacuum degree of the cavity 14 is 0.001-0.1 pa. The air quantity in the cavity 14 is moderate, so that the risks of deformation, explosion and the like of the pot body 2 after the air is heated and expanded can be avoided, the processing of the pot body 2 can be ensured not to be too difficult due to the requirement of the vacuum degree, and the production and the manufacture of the pot liner are facilitated. If the vacuum degree of the cavity 14 is more than 0.1pa, the air in the cavity 14 is excessive, and the air deforms the pot body 2 after being heated and expanded, so that the risks of explosion and the like occur. If the vacuum level of the cavity 14 is less than 0.001pa, the risk of air expansion is avoided, but such a high required vacuum level makes the processing of the pan body 2 too difficult.
In some embodiments, the outer pot base 11 is made of a metallic material that conducts heat well, or is made of a metallic material that conducts magnetic heat well. The inner pan body 12 is made of a metal material which conducts heat well. Alternatively, the outer pan base 11 and the inner pan base 12 are made of a non-metallic material. The inner pot base body 12 can be made of non-stick metal materials so that the inner surface of the pot liner 1 has a non-stick function, coating-free non-stick is realized, the outer pot base body 11 is used for generating heat or absorbing heat from a heating device through electromagnetic heating, and the pot liner 1 has better heat storage and insulation performance. Illustratively, the inner pan body 12 may be made of stainless steel, titanium, ceramic. The inner and/or outer surface of the pan body 2 may also be provided with a coating, such as a protective coating, if needed and/or desired.
The thickness of the local functional body 13 is typically 0.1mm to 5mm, and suitable values of 0.1mm, 0.5mm, 1mm, 2mm, 3mm, 4mm, 5mm, etc., preferably 0.5mm. The thickness of the local functional body 13 is too small, so that the temperature difference of the inner surface of the pot liner 1 is too small, and strong convection cannot be formed. The local functional body 13 has an excessively thick thickness and an excessively long overall heat transfer path, which may make the thermal efficiency low.
When the local functional body 13 and the outer pot base body 11 are magnetic conductors, the magnetic conductors may be made of known materials such as magnetic stainless steel, magnetic conductors, and graphite. When the local functional body 13 is a heat conductor, the material of the heat conductor may be aluminum, copper, carbon, graphene, graphite, or other known high heat conductive material. When the outer pot base 11 is a heat conductor, the material of the outer pot base 11 may be steel, iron, ceramic, glass, or the like.
In order to form the desired temperature gradient, a distance s is provided between two adjacent partial functions 13 or between adjacent sections of a single partial function 13 itself (see fig. 7a and 7 b). The pitch refers to a pitch on a plane or an arc surface of the pot body 2, and for example, for a pot 1 having at least a bottom in a straight wall shape, the pitch refers to a pitch on a plane of the pot body 2, and for a pot 1 having at least a bottom in an arc/sphere shape, the pitch refers to a pitch on an arc surface of the pot body 2.
Fig. 5 shows that the outer pot base 11 is a heat conductor or a magnetizer, the inner pot base 12 is a heat conductor, and the local functional body 13 is a heat conductor or a magnetizer. When the pot liner 1 is heated, a high temperature point T1 is generated at the edge of the local functional body 13. When heat is conducted, a high temperature point T2 and a low temperature point T3 are generated on the inner surface of the pot liner 1, wherein the high temperature point T2 corresponds to the high temperature point T1 in the thickness direction, and the low temperature point T3 corresponds to the middle of the sectioned part of the cavity 14. The heat transfer distance between the high temperature point T1 and the high temperature point T2 is L1, and the heat transfer distance between the high temperature point T1 and the low temperature point T3 is L2. Thus, T1> T2> T3. After the temperature difference is generated on the inner surface of the inner pot, heat flows from a high temperature area to a low temperature area, so that food in the pot is promoted to tumble and convect, and the cooking is uniform.
The pitch s is the pitch between the local functional units 13. The test was performed with an example pan liner 1 of the present application to obtain a table of temperature differences versus spacing s, see table 1.
As can be seen from this, as the distance s increases, the temperature difference between the high temperature point T2 and the low temperature point T3 increases. The interval is too small, the temperature difference is too small, the rolling force of cooked rice is too small, the water deviation value of cooked rice is large, and the cooked rice is uneven. The interval is too large, the temperature difference is too large, the temperature in the low temperature area is too low, the problem that rice is easy to generate clamping in the low temperature area is solved, meanwhile, the area of the temperature difference area is reduced due to the increase of the interval, and the rolling is uneven. Therefore, the pitch s is set to a value of 5mm to 85mm, for example, 5mm, 10mm, 20mm, 30mm, 40mm, 50mm, 60mm, 70mm, 80mm, 85mm, etc., preferably 10mm to 60mm.
As described above, at least the pot bottom 3 is constructed in an arc or spherical shape, and the partial function body 13 is provided at least at the pot bottom 3. The dimension of the first cavity 15 in the thickness direction of the pan body 2 is the same as the thickness of the local functional body 13, and as shown in fig. 2, the dimension N1 of the first cavity 15 in the thickness direction of the pan body 2 is 0.1 mm≤n1≤5mm, for example, N1 may be a suitable value such as 0.1mm, 0.5mm, 1mm, 2mm, 3mm, 4mm, 5mm, etc., and preferably 0.5mm. As shown in FIG. 6, the dimension N2 of the second cavity 16 in the thickness direction of the pan body 2 is 0.1 mm≤N2≤10mm, and for example, N2 may be a suitable value of 0.1mm, 0.5mm, 1mm, 2mm, 3mm, 4mm, 5mm, 6mm, 8mm, 10mm, etc., preferably 0.5mm to 5mm, more preferably 3mm. The second cavity 16 has moderate gap, which can play a certain heat resistance effect, the temperature difference formed on the inner surface of the pot liner is in a desired range, strong convection can be formed, the second cavity has moderate gap, which can play a certain heat insulation effect, prevent side heat dissipation, and the pot body 2 has moderate thickness, which can avoid the increase of the whole size of the pot liner, has smaller material cost, avoids the excessive heavy pot liner, and is convenient for users to use. Too small gap, small thermal resistance, poor non-uniform heating and boiling effects, too large gap, increased material cost, too heavy pan body 2, and unfavorable use for users.
The second cavity 16 is located above the bottom rounded corner and below the rim of the pan. The side part of the pot body 2 is provided with a first height H1, the second cavity 16 is provided with a second height H2, wherein H2/H1 is more than or equal to 30%, for example, H2/H1 is 30%, 35%, 40%, 45%, 50% and other suitable values, H1 is 50 mm-100 mm, for example, H1 is 50mm, 60mm, 70mm, 80mm, 90mm, 100mm and other suitable values. The height of the second cavity 16 is moderate, so that the area occupied by the second cavity 16 on the side part of the pot body 2 can ensure that the side part of the pot body 2 has a better heat preservation effect, and in addition, the above range of H1 can avoid difficult processing of the top end closing position of the pot body 2.
The projection of the local functional body 13 on the horizontal plane has a first maximum diameter D1, and the pan body 2 has a second maximum diameter D2 on the pan body side 4, wherein D1/D2 is more than or equal to 40%. For example, D1/D2 is 40%, 50%, 60%, 70%, 80%, 90%, 95%, etc., preferably 88%. Therefore, the part of the side part of the pot body 2 from the bottom end to a certain height has the effect of non-uniform heating, and the food at the part of the side part can be fully rolled, so that the food materials can be uniformly heated. When the local functional body 13 is a magnetizer or a heat conductor, the D1/D2 is smaller than 40% so that the food materials at the side part of the inner pot are heated too little, the food at the side part is seriously clamped and does not meet the minimum clamping group standard of the food, and the D1/D2 is larger than or equal to 40%, so that the heating area is larger and can reach part of the side part, the food at the side part can be prevented from being clamped and the minimum clamping group standard of the food can be met, and the cooking effect is improved. The optimum state can be achieved when the D1/D2 is 88%.
The shape of the partial functional bodies 13 may be arranged as desired, an example being that the partial functional bodies 13 are arranged in a ring shape, in particular in a ring shape in the circumferential direction of the pot 2, and in concentric ring arrays in the radial direction of the pot 2 and/or in the height direction of the pot 1. Another example is that the partial function body 13 is arranged spirally, in particular gradually spirally outwards in radial direction and gradually spirally upwards in height direction from the bottom middle part of the pot body 2.
As shown in fig. 3 and 7a, the partial function 13 forms a plurality of first partial functions 17, and the plurality of first partial functions 17 are arranged in a circumferential array along the pot 2. The shape of the first partial function 17 may be circular, elliptical, or the like. Fig. 7a shows that the first partial function 17 has the shape of a fan blade and the like. Specifically, the width of each first partial function 17 in the circumferential direction gradually increases from the radially outward direction and/or the height direction of the pan body 2 upward to form a gradually widening pattern. Compared with other shapes such as a ring shape, a round shape, a polygonal shape and the like, the local functional body 13 with the gradually-widened pattern has the structural characteristics that the closer to the bottom center of the pot liner 1 is, the narrower the further away from the bottom center of the pot liner 1 is, so that the local functional body 13 can cover more area of the pot liner 1 at least at the bottom of the pot liner 1, the adjusting area of the local functional body 13 on the heat distribution of the pot liner 1 is larger, the larger the coverage area of a local temperature difference area is, and the effect of non-uniform heating and boiling in a large range can be realized. And when the local functional body 13 forms the inner surface or the outer surface of the pot body 2, the appearance of the product can be molded based on the gradually-widened graph, so that the appearance is simpler and more attractive as a whole, and the visual effect is better.
The at least one partial function 13 comprises a second partial function 18 which is circular. The second local functional body 18 is located at the bottom middle part of the pot body 2, and the narrow ends of the plurality of first local functional bodies 17 are connected to the second local functional body 18. The first partial functional bodies 17 can be positioned based on the second partial functional bodies 18, so that partial functional materials can be easily formed on the pot body 2, and the appearance of the product is simpler and more attractive as a whole, and the visual effect is better.
The area occupation ratio of the local functional body 13 is reasonably set, and the overall heating effect and the local convection effect are ensured when the overall heat of the pot liner 1 can meet the cooking requirement. Specifically, referring to fig. 8, the function setting area S1 is defined by a horizontal reference plane on which the highest point of the local function body 13 in the height direction is located, and the approximate position of the boundary P is schematically shown by a broken line in fig. 8, and an area below the boundary P is defined as a function setting area S1 and an area above the boundary P is defined as a non-function setting area S2. When the local functional body 13 is a heat conductor or a magnetizer, the area ratio of the local functional body 13 in the function setting area S1 may be 40% to 80%, for example, the area ratio may be 40%, 50%, 55%, 60%, 65%, 70%, 75%, 80%, or other suitable ratio, and preferably 55%. The excessively large area ratio of the heat conductor or the magnetizer can lead to excessively small temperature difference in a clearance area, the convection effect is reduced, and the excessively small area ratio can lead to insufficient thermal efficiency.
Alternatively, for a cooking appliance such as an electric rice cooker, the function setting area S1 may be defined based on a projection area of the bottom heating device of the cooking appliance on the inner container 1, that is, the function setting area S1. The bottom heating rotating device can be a coil panel/heating panel, and the projection area takes the vertical projection of the outermost contour of the coil panel/heating panel on the outer surface of the pot liner 1 as the outermost boundary. The partial function 13 can be arranged in the projection area of the bottom heating device on the pot liner 1. The heating device further comprises a side heating device positioned at the side of the pot liner 1, and the local functional body 13 is arranged in the projection area of the side heating device on the pot liner 1.
In order to verify the temperature difference effect, the infrared temperature measurement test is performed on the inner liner 1 of the embodiment, and the temperature of the inner surface of the inner liner 1 in the area corresponding to the local functional body 13 is different from the temperature of the inner surface of the inner liner corresponding to the area of the outer liner body 11, in one liner example, the temperature at the high temperature point of the temperature area of four fan-shaped areas can reach more than 50 ℃, the temperature at other positions of the fan-shaped areas can reach more than 35 ℃, and the temperature at the areas other than the fan-shaped areas is lower, so that the inner surface of the inner liner 1 can form the temperature difference of more than 25 ℃ for example. Therefore, the heat of the pot liner 1 of the embodiment is more concentrated, the temperature difference is larger, and the heat convection is stronger.
