Abstract
A cooking appliance includes a pot body assembly, a first pot cover assembly, a second pot cover assembly a heating control assembly. The pot body assembly includes a food container configured to hold food and a first heating assembly configured to heat the food in the food container. The second pot cover assembly includes a second heating assembly configured to heat the food in the food container. The heating control assembly is configured to detect a closing state of the second pot cover assembly on the pot body assembly and control the first heating assembly not to operate in response to detecting that the second pot cover assembly is closed on the pot body assembly.
Claims15
A cooking appliance comprising:
- a pot body assembly including:
- a food container configured to hold food;
- and
- a first heating assembly configured to heat the food in the food container;
- a first pot cover assembly;
- a second pot cover assembly including a second heating assembly configured to heat the food in the food container;
- a first heating control assembly configured to:
- detect a closing state of the second pot cover assembly on the pot body assembly;
- and
- control the first heating assembly not to operate in response to detecting that the second pot cover assembly is closed on the pot body assembly;
- a second heating control assembly configured to control the second heating assembly to operate in response to the second pot cover assembly being closed in position;
- and
- a push pin;
- wherein:
- the second heating control assembly includes:
- a controller arranged at the second pot cover assembly and electrically connected to the second heating assembly to control an operating state of the second heating assembly;
- and
- a pot body cooperation member arranged at the pot body assembly and configured to cooperate with the controller to detect the closing state of the second pot cover assembly;
- the controller includes a micro switch configured to be:
- triggered by the pot body cooperation member in response to the second pot cover assembly is closed in position, and
- not triggered in response to the second pot cover assembly being not closed in position;
- the second heating assembly is configured to heat in response to the micro switch being triggered and not heat in response to the micro switch not being triggered;
- the pot body assembly further includes a housing having an upper surface facing towards the second pot cover assembly;
- the micro switch is built in the second pot cover assembly;
- the second pot cover assembly is provided with a mounting hole;
- and
- the push pin is configured to move up and down, penetrate the mounting hole, and push the micro switch to act under an abutment of the upper surface of the housing.
