Cooking appliance and upper cover assembly thereof

Abstract

The invention provides an upper cover assembly and a cooking appliance, wherein the upper cover assembly comprises a cover shield, a heat-insulating plate and a bottom plate; a steam outlet is formed in the cover shield; a steam valve seat is arranged on the heat-insulating plate; the bottom plate is connected to the cover shield and the heat-insulating plate; and an accommodating cavity is enclosed by the bottom plate and the cover shield, and the heat-insulating plate is arranged in the accommodating cavity, wherein the top end of the steam valve seat is in sealing connection to the lower surface of the cover shield; a steam passage is formed in the steam valve seat; and the steam outlet communicates with the steam passage. According to upper cover assembly provided by the invention which is provided with three parts, namely the cover shield, the heat-insulating plate and the bottom plate, sequentially from top to bottom, and by arranging the steam valve seat on the heat-insulating plate and connecting the steam valve seat to the cover shield in a sealed mode, the steam passage can go through the entire upper cover assembly, so that the structure of the product (the upper cover assembly) is more compact, and subsequently, the overall thickness of the product is reduced; and meanwhile, the number of constituent parts of the product is also reduced, and subsequently, the weight of the product is reduced and the inertia force of the product in a moving process is reduced.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of kitchen utensils, in particular to an upper cover assembly and a cooking appliance with the upper cover assembly. Background technique [0002] At present, the lid of the existing electric rice cooker is equipped with at least five parts: a decorative sheet, an outer cover, an inner cover, a heat preservation seat plate and a movable cover plate from top to bottom, which complicates the composition of the lid and increases the cost accordingly. In addition, due to the unreasonable assembly relationship between the various parts in the existing pot cover, the existing pot cover can only realize the installation of the internal parts of the pot cover by increasing the volume of the parts. The overall size of the lid is further increased, resulting in an increase in the production cost of the product. At the same time, this also increases the overall weight of the lid, so that in the process of opening the lid, the in...

Problems solved by technology

[0002] At present, the pot cover of the existing electric rice cooker is equipped with at least five parts: a decorative sheet, an outer cover, an inner cover, a thermal insulation seat plate and a movable cover plate from top to bottom, which complicates the composition of the pot cover and correspondingly increases In addition, due to the unreasonable assembly relationship between the various parts in the existing pot cover, the existing pot cover can only realize the installation of the internal parts of the pot cover by increasing the volume of the parts. The overall size of the lid is further increased, resulting in an increase in the production cost of the product. At the same time, this also increases the overall weight of the lid, so that in the process of opening the lid, the inertia of the lid is increased due to the weight of the lid force, which causes the rice cooker to vibrate, and the possibility of food splashing in the rice cooker increases, which reduces the comfort of the product and is not conducive to the market competition of the product
