[0030] The following is a further detailed description of the embodiments of the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and examples. The following examples are used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention, but cannot be used to limit the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0031] Example:

[0032] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 5 As shown, the present invention provides an integrated rice cooker top cover, including an integrated top cover body 11, which is composed of a color film layer and a transparent body layer. The color film layer is laid on the bottom of the transparent body layer or buried in the transparent body layer, which not only gives the top cover body 11 rich colors and visual effects, but also ensures the overall structural integrity and stability. When the color film layer covers the plane part, a transparent frame is naturally formed on the periphery of the top cover body 11. The edge of the plane part of the top cover body 11 is surrounded by a flange 12, which plays a role in strengthening the structure and protection. A plurality of groups of ribs 13 are also arranged on the flange 12, and these ribs 13 further enhance the overall strength and rigidity of the top cover. Whether in daily opening and closing operations or by some slight external force collisions, the ribs 13 can effectively disperse the pressure, prevent the top cover from deformation or damage, thereby extending the service life of the top cover.

[0033] The top cover body 11 is configured as an arched structure, which has many advantages. On the one hand, the arched structure is more beautiful in appearance, which can enhance the overall texture and design of the rice cooker; on the other hand, it has good mechanical properties and can better withstand the pressure from above, making the top cover more durable during use.

[0034] The top surface of the top cover body 11 is divided into a first curved surface and a second curved surface. The design of the two curved surfaces not only increases the three-dimensional sense and layered sense of the top cover, but also provides a reasonable spatial layout for the arrangement of other components. On the first curved surface, multiple groups of guide ribs 14 are arranged, which play an important role in actual use. When steam is generated in the rice cooker and liquefied by cold, the guide ribs 14 can guide the liquid to flow along a specific path, ensuring that the liquid can be gathered in the same position, avoiding the random flow of liquid to damage other components inside the rice cooker, and ensuring the normal operation and service life of the rice cooker.

[0035] In addition, the top cover body 11 is provided with a first through slot 15 and a second through slot 16, which are respectively located on the first curved surface and the second curved surface. These through slots cooperate with other components of the rice cooker to achieve more convenient operation and functional expansion. At the same time, the dividing strip 17 on the top of the top cover body 11 is located between the first curved surface and the second curved surface, clearly distinguishing the two curved surfaces, making the appearance of the top cover more neat and orderly, and also facilitating users to better identify and distinguish the functions of different areas during operation and use.

[0036] like Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 8 As shown, a rice cooker includes a rice cooker cover 21, and the above-mentioned integrated rice cooker top cover is arranged above the rice cooker cover 21, and the top cover body 11 is connected to the rice cooker cover 21 to form a complete whole, which provides a guarantee for the normal operation of the rice cooker. The rice cooker cover 21 is provided with a mounting groove 22, and the mounting groove 22 provides an installation space for the subsequent installation of components. A control panel 23 is arranged in the mounting groove 22.

When the user operates the rice cooker, the control buttons 25 can be easily touched and the information on the display screen 26 can be viewed. This tilted setting makes the operation more convenient and smooth. When the buttons are adjusted back and forth quickly, the user has a certain feeling of sliding along the inclined surface, which improves the accuracy and efficiency of the operation.

[0040] like Figure 4 , Figure 7 As shown, a sealing groove 33 is provided on the rice cooker cover 21, and a sealing strip 34 is provided between the rice cooker cover 21 and the top cover body 11. The sealing strip 34 is stuck in the sealing groove 33 and fully contacts with the top cover body 11, ensuring the sealing of the rice cooker during the cooking process. A plurality of groups of mounting posts 35 are provided at the bottom of the top cover body 11, and a mounting hole 36 is provided on the rice cooker cover 21. The mounting posts 35 are penetrated in the mounting holes 36, so that the connection between the top cover body 11 and the rice cooker cover 21 is more stable. The rice cooker cover 21 and the mounting posts 35 are both provided with mounting screw holes, and the mounting screws are penetrated in the mounting screw holes, which further enhances the reliability of the connection. This detachable connection method brings convenience to the user. When the rice cooker needs to be cleaned or repaired, the top cover body 11 can be easily separated from the rice cooker cover 21, so that each component can be handled separately.

[0041] The rice cooker cover 21 is also provided with a fixing groove 37, and a liquid box 38 is provided above the rice cooker cover 21. The liquid box 38 is clamped in the fixing groove 37, so that the installation of the liquid box 38 is more secure. The air valve 27 is installed in the liquid box 38. During the cooking process, the air valve 27 can discharge steam in time and adjust the pressure in the pot. The function of the liquid box 38 is to collect the liquid generated after the steam condenses, prevent the liquid from dripping into the surrounding environment, and keep the kitchen clean. The clamping design of the liquid box 38 and the fixing groove 37 not only facilitates installation and disassembly, but also ensures that it will not be easily loosened or fall off during use.

[0042] At the same time, a rice cooker partition 41 is detachably provided at the bottom of the rice cooker cover 21, and the rice cooker partition 41 plays an important role in separation during the use of the rice cooker. At the same time, a rice cooker inner cover 42 is provided on the rice cooker partition 41, and the rice cooker inner cover 42 is connected and connected with the air valve 27, so that steam can be discharged smoothly through the air valve 27, and the pressure balance inside the rice cooker is also guaranteed. When the rice cooker needs to be cleaned, the rice cooker partition 41 and the rice cooker inner cover 42 can be disassembled and thoroughly cleaned to ensure the hygiene of the rice cooker.

[0043] The specific usage and function of this embodiment are as follows:

[0044] When in use, put the prepared ingredients into the rice cooker, cover the rice cooker cover 21, and the rice cooker inner cover 42 is connected to the air valve 27 on the rice cooker cover 21, which can ensure smooth discharge of steam and balance of internal pressure; adjust the cooking parameters through the control button 25 on the mounting frame 24. The control button 25 is arranged in the second through groove 16 of the top cover body 11, which is convenient to operate. At the same time, the cooking time, temperature and other information displayed on the display screen 26 can be viewed. The control button 25 and the display screen 26 are both connected to the control panel 23 to ensure accurate information transmission and timely response of operations. The control panel 23 is installed in the mounting groove 22 of the rice cooker cover 21, and undertakes important tasks such as adjusting cooking parameters and monitoring cooking status. During the cooking process, the air valve 27 will discharge steam in time, adjust the pressure in the pot, and avoid safety hazards caused by excessive pressure.

[0045] After the steam is cooled and liquefied, the guide ribs 14 on the first curved surface of the top cover body 11 will guide the liquid to flow along a specific path, so that the liquid gathers in the same position to avoid damage to other parts of the rice cooker. After cooking, if there is liquid produced by steam condensation, it will be collected by the liquid box 38. The liquid box 38 is stuck in the fixing groove 37 of the rice cooker cover 21, which is firmly installed and convenient to disassemble and clean. When the rice cooker needs to be cleaned, the rice cooker cover 21 can be separated from the top cover body 11, which is convenient for individual treatment of each component. At the same time, the rice cooker partition 41 and the rice cooker inner cover 42 can be removable for thorough cleaning to ensure the hygiene of the rice cooker.
