Detailed ways

The core of the invention is to provide a smart rice cooker to improve the intelligence of the rice cooker.

The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments,

As shown in FIG. 1 to FIG. 8 , a smart rice cooker according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a rice cooker body, and the rice cooker body includes a water storage device 1 and a rice storage device at the top of the rice cooker body, and is located at the middle of the rice cooker body. The rice washing chamber 3, the rice cooker liner 4 and the water reservoir 5 at the bottom of the rice cooker body and the control panel 6 disposed on the rice cooker body; the water storage device 1 is provided with a water outlet for supplying water to the rice washing chamber 3 7; the rice storage device 2 is provided with a rice outlet 8 for supplying rice to the rice washing chamber 3; the rice washing chamber 3 is provided with an electronic scale 9, a stirrer 10, a drain port 11 and a discharge port 12, and a drain port 11 It is used for discharging the rice washing water in the rice washing chamber 3 to the water storage device 5, and the discharging port 12 is for introducing the purified water and the washed rice into the rice cooker liner 4; the control panel 6 is used according to the preset condition The water outlet 7, the rice outlet 8, the drain port 11 and the discharge port 12 are controlled to open and close, and the start and stop of the agitator 10 and the operation mode of the rice cooker liner 4 are controlled.

During the use of the smart rice cooker, the control panel firstly controls the rice outlet of the rice storage device to deliver rice to the rice washing chamber until the electronic scale detects that the delivery weight reaches a set amount; the water outlet of the water storage device is washed to the rice After the chamber delivers the quantitative water source, the mixer is controlled to perform the stirring and washing; after the panning is completed, the drain port is opened until the rice water is completely discharged to the water reservoir and the drain port is closed; the water outlet of the water storage device is controlled to the rice washing chamber again. The indoor water conveys the water corresponding to the proportion of the washed rice; the discharge port is opened until the water and rice in the rice washing chamber all enter the rice cooker liner, and the discharge port is closed; the rice cooker liner is controlled to enter the corresponding risotto operation. The above-mentioned smart rice cooker can complete the operation only by manipulating the control panel during the whole rice washing rice glutinous rice process, which simplifies the operation process and greatly improves the intelligence degree of the rice cooker. In addition, the rice water can be used for secondary use by setting a water reservoir, such as watering flowers or washing the face.

It should be noted here that those skilled in the art should be able to understand that the above-mentioned drain port should have the function of filtering the rice grains, that is, only water or impurities smaller than the rice grain size can be allowed to pass. In addition, it should be noted that, in order to ensure the sealing performance of the rice cooker liner during cooking, generally, the corresponding feeding channel 19 should be provided at the position of the rice cooker liner 4 corresponding to the feed port 12, and the upper portion of the feed channel 19 is correspondingly disposed. There is a sealing plate 20.

It is to be understood that the above-mentioned drawer type is only a preferred example of the embodiment of the present invention, and may be other detachable connection commonly used by those skilled in the art, and may of course be non-removable, but not removable. The corresponding drain line needs to be arranged so that the water reservoir can be drained in time when it is fully loaded.

In some more specific embodiments, the water inlet 13 is disposed directly below the corresponding drain opening 11 on the top plate of the water reservoir 5, and the water inlet baffle 14 is disposed above the water inlet 13; the water inlet baffle 14 and the top plate A sliding fit is arranged along the direction in which the water reservoir 5 is pushed and pulled. A spring 15 is disposed between the water inlet baffle 14 and the top plate. The spring 15 is used to provide a preload force to the water inlet baffle 14 to cover the water inlet 13 . The body is provided with a stop 16; and when the water reservoir 5 is pushed into the rice cooker body, the stop 16 abuts the water inlet baffle 14, the spring 15 is compressed to open the water inlet 13; when the water reservoir 5 is pulled away In the case of the rice cooker body, the stopper 16 is disengaged from the water inlet baffle 14, and the spring 15 rebounds so that the water inlet 13 is closed. Through the arrangement of the above structure, when the water reservoir is pushed into the rice cooker body, the water reservoir can normally store water, and when the rice cooker body is pulled away, the water inlet can be closed to avoid the rice water splashing in the water reservoir.

In still another embodiment, the water collecting port 17 is further provided at the lower end of the side surface of the water reservoir 5. By setting the water collecting port, it is more convenient to use the rice water in the water reservoir for secondary use, and at the same time, it is convenient for the water in the water reservoir to be collected twice.

In addition, the side surface of the above-mentioned water reservoir 5 may be provided with a transparent window for facilitating observation of the water level. By setting a transparent window, you can observe the water level in the water reservoir at any time to avoid full load in the water reservoir. And the above transparent window can also be provided with a scale. It should be noted here that those skilled in the art should be able to understand that in order to observe the water level in the water reservoir on the outside of the rice cooker body, the position of the corresponding transparent window on the rice cooker body should also be made of transparent material. Or, or have a corresponding observation opening.

Further, in order to facilitate the introduction and withdrawal of the water reservoir 5 from the rice cooker body, a handle 18 is further provided in the direction in which the water reservoir 5 is correspondingly extracted. The handle can be arranged in such a manner that a protruding pusher is provided on the water reservoir, or a concave handle integrally formed on the corresponding surface of the water reservoir. In the actual application process, the design can be selected according to the actual situation.

In order to further facilitate the discovery of the water level in the water reservoir, a sensor for monitoring the water level in the water reservoir 5 may be disposed on the corresponding rice cooker body, and the sensor is connected with an alarm device. When the sensor detects that the water level reaches the preset value, the alarm is sent through the alarm device, and the alarm may be in the form of a signal light, or may be other alarm forms commonly used by those skilled in the art, such as a drop sound.
