Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application belongs to the technical field of kitchen appliances, and specifically relates to a pot cover assembly and a cooking utensil. Background Art

[0002] Cooking utensils are the most common kitchen appliances in people's daily lives. They include a pot body and a pot cover arranged on the pot body. There are two common ways to connect the pot cover to the pot body. One is that the pot cover and the pot body are connected in a removable manner, that is, the pot cover can be removed from the pot body, and the other is that the pot cover and the pot body are hinged.

[0003] With regard to the technical solution for hinged connection of the pot lid and the pot body, in order to facilitate the user to open the pot lid, a hinged position of the pot lid and the pot body is provided with a torsion spring acting on the pot body and the pot lid respectively, and at the same time a locking piece that can engage with the pot lid is provided at one end of the pot body away from the hinged position. In addition, a damping pad is provided on the pot lid, so that when the user presses the locking piece, the locking piece releases the engagement with the pot lid, and the pot lid rotates relative to the pot body under the action of the torsion spring, and the damping pad acts on the pot body to ensure the smooth opening of the pot lid and avoid the pot jumping.

[0004] However, if the interference fit between the damping pad and the pot body is designed to be small, the damping pad may not be able to prevent the pot from jumping during the lid opening process; if the interference fit between the damping pad and the pot body is large, the pot lid may not be fully opened; in addition, due to the limitation of the damping pad's buffering stroke, there are cases where the pot lid has been fully opened but the pot still jumps, which makes the installation of the damping pad more difficult and affects the user experience.

[0021] 2. As a preferred embodiment of the present application, the elastic member includes a connecting section and a supporting section, the connecting section acts on the damping member, and the supporting section is connected to the cover body. During the process of opening the cover, the pot body applies an extrusion force to the damping member to cause the damping member itself to undergo elastic deformation while applying pressure to the connecting section. The connecting section applies pressure to the supporting section to cause the connecting section and the supporting section to undergo relative elastic movement, thereby further increasing the range of elastic movement of the damping member in the direction approaching or away from the engagement end, so as to increase the buffering effect of the damping member on the cover body, so that the cover body can be smoothly rotated to the maximum opening angle, while avoiding the situation of pot jumping, thereby improving the user experience.

[0023] 4. As a preferred embodiment of the present application, the cover body has positioning ribs, which are arranged to form an accessory installation area. The cover body is provided with elastic ribs located on the outside of the positioning ribs and arranged at intervals with the positioning ribs. The elastic ribs act on the damping member to form an elastic member, thereby allowing the elastic member to avoid the accessory installation area, so that the assemblers can install other components and improve the assembly efficiency of the pot cover assembly; at the same time, the elastic ribs can be an integrated structure with the cover body to reduce the production cost of the pot cover assembly and reduce the number of components that need to be assembled by the assemblers, thereby improving the production efficiency of the pot cover assembly; in addition, the stability of the elastic ribs can also be increased to ensure the buffering effect of the damping member on the cover body, further ensure the smoothness of the cover when opening, further avoid the situation where the cover cannot be fully opened or jumps out of the pot, and further improve the user experience.

[0024] 5. As a preferred embodiment of the present application, a cavity is provided inside the damping member so that the damping member has a larger deformation space, and at the same time the structural strength of the damping member is reduced, so that the damping member is easier to deform, thereby greatly improving the buffering effect of the damping member on the cover body, and an exhaust port connected to the cavity is provided at one end of the damping member facing the opening and closing end, so that when the damping member is deformed, the air in the cavity can be quickly discharged through the exhaust port, so that the damping member can be quickly deformed when subjected to extrusion force, and the outside air can quickly enter the cavity through the exhaust port, so that the damping member can quickly restore the deformation, thereby greatly improving the response speed of the damping member, so as to further ensure the smoothness of the cover opening process and reduce the pressing force applied to the cover body by the user during the cover closing process, thereby further improving the user experience.

[0049] Reference Figures 1 to 9 A pot cover assembly comprises a cover body 1 and a damping assembly for contacting a pot body 4, the cover body 1 having a hinged end hinged to the pot body 4 and an opening and closing end opposite to the hinged end, the damping assembly comprising a damping member 2 and an elastic member 3, the hinged end being provided with an installation cavity for installing the damping member 2, the elastic member 3 being arranged at one end of the damping member 2 close to the opening and closing end, so that when the damping member 2 is pressed against the elastic member 3, the elastic member 3 is deformed to form a secondary damping force.

[0050] That is to say, the deformation of the damping member 2 itself combined with the deformation of the elastic member 3 increases the self-adjustment range of the damping member 2 in the direction close to or away from the hinged end, thereby increasing the buffering stroke of the damping member 2 to increase the buffering effect of the damping member 2 and reduce the interference requirement between the damping member 2 and the pot body 4 when installing, thereby reducing the installation difficulty of the damping member 2 and improving the assembly efficiency of the damping member 2 to improve the production efficiency of the pot cover assembly; in addition, it can also reduce the production accuracy requirements of the damping member 2 to reduce the production cost of the damping member 2, and thus reduce the production cost of the pot cover assembly; at the same time, when the user opens the pot cover assembly, the pot cover assembly can smoothly rotate to the open state to avoid incomplete opening of the cover or pot jumping, thereby improving the user experience.

[0051] It should be noted that when the damping member 2 first cooperates with the pot body 4, the damping member 2 is deformed, and then a primary damping force is formed. As the lid is opened, the damping member 2 is pressed against the elastic member 3, so that the elastic member 3 is deformed and a secondary damping force is formed to increase the cushioning effect on the lid body 1.

[0052] The present application does not specifically limit the installation position of the elastic member 3, and it may adopt any one of the following embodiments:

[0053] Embodiment 1: In this embodiment, the elastic member 3 is disposed inside the installation cavity.

[0054] Specifically, the mounting cavity has a passage opening facing away from the closing end, the damping member 2 extends into the mounting cavity through the passage opening, and the mounting cavity has a supporting wall opposite to the passage opening, the elastic member 3 is located between the damping member 2 and the supporting wall, and at the same time, there is a gap between the end of the damping member 2 close to the opening and closing end and the supporting wall to form a space for the elastic member 3 to deform, thereby increasing the stability of the elastic member 3, and further ensuring the buffering effect of the damping member 2 on the cover body 1, thereby improving the product quality of the cooking utensil equipped with the pot cover assembly, and at the same time improving the user experience.

[0055] Implementation method 2. In this implementation method, refer to Figure 2 , Figure 4 , Figure 6 and Figure 8 An installation opening is provided at one end of the installation cavity toward the opening and closing end, and the elastic member 3 is provided at the installation opening. The cover body 1 is provided with a supporting surface 13, and the supporting surface 13 is spaced apart from the installation cavity to form a deformation space for the elastic member 3 to deform.

[0056] That is to say, the elastic member 3 is located outside the installation cavity to increase the installation space of the elastic member 3, thereby reducing the difficulty of assembling the elastic member 3, so as to achieve the effect of facilitating the assembly personnel to assemble the elastic member 3 and facilitating the adjustment of the elastic member 3, thereby improving the assembly efficiency of the elastic member 3, and further reducing the production cost of the pot cover assembly. At the same time, the deformation space of the elastic member 3 is increased, so that the elastic member 3 can be deformed more, thereby further increasing the buffering stroke of the damping member 2, further improving the buffering effect of the cover body 1, and further improving the user experience.

[0057] The present application does not specifically limit the structure of the elastic member 3, and it may adopt any one of the following embodiments:

[0058] Embodiment 1. In this embodiment, referring to Figures 1 to 5 The elastic member 3 includes a connecting section 31 and a supporting section 32 . The connecting section 31 acts on the damping member 2 , and the supporting section 32 is connected to the cover body 1 .

[0059] Specifically, during the process of opening the lid, the pot body 4 applies an extrusion force to the damping member 2, so that the damping member 2 itself undergoes elastic deformation while applying pressure to the connecting section 31. The connecting section 31 applies pressure to the supporting section 32, so that the connecting section 31 and the supporting section 32 undergo relative elastic movement, thereby further increasing the range of elastic movement of the damping member 2 in the direction approaching or moving away from the closing end, thereby increasing the cushioning effect of the damping member 2 on the lid body 1, so that the lid body 1 can be smoothly rotated to the maximum lid opening angle, while avoiding the situation of pot jumping, thereby improving the user experience.

[0060] The present application does not specifically limit the structure of the connecting section 31 and the supporting section 32. Preferably, refer to Figure 5 The connecting section 31 and the supporting section 32 are both flat plate structures, and an angle θ is formed between the connecting section 31 and the supporting section 32, so that the elastic member 3 is more easily deformed, thereby reducing the resistance of the damping member 2 when it moves toward the direction close to the opening and closing end, so as to ensure the buffering stroke of the damping member 2, and then ensure the buffering effect of the damping member 2 on the cover body 1, and ensure the user's experience.

[0061] Better, refer to Figure 5 The angle θ between the connecting section 31 and the supporting section 32 satisfies: 20°≤θ≤45°, so as to reduce the force required for the elastic member 3 to deform and at the same time reduce the installation space required for the elastic member 3, thereby increasing the compactness of the structure of the pot cover assembly and facilitating the miniaturization design of the pot cover assembly.

[0062] Further, see Figure 5The connecting section 31 acts on the damping member 2 with its circumferential surface facing away from the supporting section 32 to increase the contact area between the connecting section 31 and the damping member 2, thereby increasing the stability of the elastic member 3 and preventing the elastic member 3 from being separated from the damping member 2 and the cover body 1 when deformed, thereby ensuring the buffering effect of the damping member 2 on the cover body 1 and thus ensuring the user experience.

[0063] In other embodiments, the connecting section 31 and the supporting section 32 may both be arc-shaped plate structures; of course, the connecting section 31 and the supporting section 32 may also be other structures as long as they can achieve elastic support for the damping member 2 .

[0064] In a preferred embodiment, referring to Figure 5 The thickness H1 of the connecting section 31 satisfies: 0.8mm≤H1≤1.5mm, and the thickness H2 of the supporting section 32 also satisfies: 0.8mm≤H2≤1.5mm, so as to ensure the structural strength of the elastic member 3 while reducing the force required for elastic deformation of the elastic member 3, thereby ensuring the buffering stroke of the damping member 2.

[0065] In this embodiment, the number of the elastic members 3 is not specifically limited. Figure 4 and Figure 5 The cover body 1 has a midline passing through the hinge end and the opening and closing end, and two elastic members 3 are provided, and the two elastic members 3 are symmetrically arranged about the midline to balance the force of the damping member 2, thereby ensuring the buffering effect of the damping member 2 on the cover body 1, while reducing the risk of the elastic member 3 being separated from the damping member 2 and the cover body 1, so as to increase the stability of the elastic member 3. In other embodiments, only one elastic member 3 may be provided, or the number may be more than two.

[0066] In this embodiment, there is no specific limitation on the connection method between the elastic member 3 and the damping member 2. The connecting section 31 may be in contact with the damping member 2, and then the damping member 2 and the cover body 1 may be used to squeeze the connecting section 31 and the supporting section 32 to achieve fixation; or the connecting section 31 may be directly fixedly connected to the damping member 2.

[0067] The present application does not specifically limit the materials of the connecting section 31 and the supporting section 32. Preferably, the connecting section 31 and the supporting section 32 are both made of plastic materials to reduce the production cost of the elastic member 3, thereby reducing the production cost of the pot cover assembly. In other embodiments, the connecting section 31 and the supporting section 32 can also be made of a metal material with elastic deformation, such as manganese steel.

[0068] Implementation method 2. In this implementation method, refer to Figures 6 to 9The cover body 1 has a positioning rib 14, which is surrounded to form an accessory installation area. The cover body 1 is provided with an elastic rib located outside the positioning rib 14 and spaced apart from the positioning rib 14, and the elastic rib acts on the damping member 2 to form an elastic member 3.

[0069] Specifically, there is a gap between the elastic rib and the positioning rib 14, so that the elastic member 3 and the accessory installation area are avoided, so that the assemblers can install other parts and improve the assembly efficiency of the pot cover assembly; at the same time, the elastic rib can be an integrated structure with the cover body 1, so as to reduce the production cost of the pot cover assembly, reduce the number of parts that need to be assembled by the assemblers, thereby improving the production efficiency of the pot cover assembly; in addition, the stability of the elastic rib can be increased to ensure the buffering effect of the damping member 2 on the cover body 1, further ensure the smoothness of the cover body 1 when opening, further avoid the situation where the cover body 1 cannot be fully opened or jumps out of the pot, and further improve the user experience.

[0070] Preferably, the elastic rib has a fixed end fixedly connected to the cover body 1 and a free end opposite to the fixed end, and the free end can elastically move relative to the fixed end and act on the damping member 2 to reduce the force required for the elastic rib to perform elastic movement, thereby reducing the resistance of the damping member 2 when it moves in the direction close to the opening and closing end, so as to ensure the buffering stroke of the damping member 2, ensure the buffering effect of the damping member 2 on the cover body 1, and further ensure the user experience.

[0071] The present application does not specifically limit the structure of the elastic ribs. Preferably, the elastic ribs are flat plate structures to reduce the difficulty of producing the elastic ribs and reduce the production cost of the pot cover assembly. In other embodiments, the elastic ribs can also be arc-shaped plate structures to increase the elastic swing range of the free end.

[0072] In a preferred embodiment, the thickness H3 of the elastic rib satisfies: 0.8 mm ≤ H3 ≤ 1.5 mm, so as to reduce the force required for elastic deformation of the elastic rib while ensuring the structural strength of the elastic rib, thereby ensuring the buffering stroke of the damping member 2.

[0073] The present application does not specifically limit the material of the elastic ribs. Preferably, the elastic ribs are made of plastic materials to reduce the production cost of the elastic ribs and facilitate the integration of the elastic ribs and the cover 1. In other embodiments, the elastic ribs can also be made of metal materials with elastic deformation, such as manganese steel.

[0074] The present application does not specifically limit the connection method between the elastic rib and the cover 1. Preferably, the elastic rib and the cover 1 are integrally formed to reduce the number of parts required to assemble the pot cover assembly and improve the production efficiency of the pot cover assembly. In other embodiments, the cover 1 can also be installed by fasteners such as screws.

[0075] Embodiment 3, in this embodiment, the elastic member 3 is a spring, the spring is located at one end of the damping member 2 facing the opening and closing end, and the two ends of the spring act on the damping member 2 and the cover 1 respectively, so as to further ensure the buffering stroke of the damping member 2, thereby ensuring the buffering effect of the damping member 2 on the cover 1, thereby ensuring the user's use experience. At the same time, the spring is less affected by the age of use, thereby ensuring the service life of the cooking utensil equipped with the pot cover assembly.

[0076] In a preferred embodiment, a guide plane 12 is provided at the bottom of the installation cavity, the guide plane 12 is extended toward the opening and closing end, and a vertical gap is provided between the elastic member 3 and the guide plane 12 .

[0077] That is to say, the bottom of the elastic member 3 is suspended, thereby reducing the resistance of the elastic member 3 when it undergoes elastic deformation, thereby greatly reducing the resistance of the damping member 2 when it moves toward the direction close to the opening and closing end, so that the damping member 2 can more easily move elastically toward or away from the closing end, thereby greatly improving the range of elastic movement of the damping member 2 in the direction close to or away from the closing end, so as to further improve the buffering effect of the damping member 2 on the cover body 1, further improve the smoothness of opening the cover body 1, and at the same time reduce the force required by the user to close the cover body 1, thereby further improving the user's experience. At the same time, the guide plane 12 can also guide the sliding direction of the damping member 2 to ensure the smoothness of the damping member 2 when it slides in the direction close to or away from the closing end.

[0078] In a preferred embodiment, referring to Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 8 and Fig. 9 The damping member 2 has a pressure-receiving end at one end facing away from the engagement end, and a transition surface 21 is provided at the pressure-receiving end so that the thickness of the top of the pressure-receiving end is smaller than the thickness of the bottom of the pressure-receiving end.

[0079] Specifically, when the cover body 1 starts to rotate toward the lid opening position, the rotation speed of the cover body 1 is relatively low, and the transition surface 21 does not contact the pot body 4 under the action of the transition surface 21, so that the rotation speed of the cover body 1 slowly increases; when the cover body 1 rotates to the middle or latter half of the lid opening, the rotation speed of the cover body 1 increases, and the transition surface 21 contacts the pot body 4 at this time, so that the cover body 1 continues to rotate at a uniform speed or the rotation speed of the cover body 1 is gradually reduced, so as to ensure the efficiency of lid opening while avoiding the situation of pot jumping, thereby improving the user experience.

[0080] It should be noted that the thickness of the top of the pressure-receiving end and the thickness of the bottom of the pressure-receiving end mentioned here both refer to the dimension of the pressure-receiving end in a direction parallel to the hinged end pointing to the opening and closing end.

[0081] The present application does not specifically limit the structure of the transition surface 21. Preferably, refer to Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 8 and Fig. 9 The transition surface 21 is a curved surface, so that the transition surface 21 and the pot body 4 cooperate more smoothly and the damping effect is more delicate, further improving the user experience. In other embodiments, the transition surface 21 can also be a plane inclined from top to bottom toward the opening and closing end.

[0082] The present application does not specifically limit the structure of the damping member 2. In a preferred embodiment, refer to Figure 3 and Figure 7 The damping member 2 is provided with a cavity 22 inside, and an exhaust port communicating with the cavity 22 is provided at one end of the damping member 2 facing the opening and closing end.

[0083] Specifically, the cavity 22 allows the damping member 2 to have a larger deformation space, while reducing the structural strength of the damping member 2, so that the damping member 2 is easier to deform, thereby greatly improving the buffering effect of the damping member 2 on the cover body 1, and the damping member 2 is provided with an exhaust port connected to the cavity 22 at one end facing the opening and closing end, so that when the damping member 2 is deformed, the air in the cavity 22 can be quickly discharged through the exhaust port, so that the damping member 2 can be quickly deformed when subjected to extrusion force, and the outside air can quickly enter the cavity 22 through the exhaust port, so that the damping member 2 can quickly restore the deformation, thereby greatly improving the response speed of the damping member 2, so as to further ensure the smoothness of the cover opening process and reduce the pressing force applied by the user to the cover body 1 during the cover closing process, thereby further improving the user experience.

[0084] In other embodiments, the damping member 2 may also be a solid structure to reduce the difficulty of damping production.

[0085] The present application does not specifically limit the formation method of the installation cavity. Preferably, refer to Figure 1 , Figure 3 , Figure 5 , Figure 7 and Fig. 9 A limiting rib 11 is provided at the hinged end, and the limiting rib 11 and the cover body 1 jointly form an installation cavity. The limiting rib 11 is provided with a stop surface 112, and the damping member 2 is provided with a stop protrusion 23 that cooperates with the stop surface 112 to stop the damping member 2. When the damping member 2 moves toward a direction away from the engagement end under the action of the elastic member 3, the damping member 2 and the limiting rib 11 slide relative to each other. When the stop protrusion 23 abuts against the stop surface 112, the damping member 2 stops moving under the stopping action of the stop protrusion 23 and the stop surface 112, so as to avoid the damping member 2 from escaping from the installation cavity, thereby increasing the stability of the damping member 2 and ensuring the buffering effect of the damping member 2 on the cover body 1.

[0086] In a preferred embodiment, referring to Figure 3 and Figure 7 The limiting rib 11 is provided with a receiving groove 111 communicating with the installation cavity, the groove wall of the receiving groove 111 facing the opening and closing end forms a stop surface 112 , and the stop protrusion 23 extends into the receiving groove 111 .

[0087] Specifically, the accommodating groove 111 penetrates the limiting rib 11 in the thickness direction thereof, so that the assembler can observe whether the stop protrusion 23 is installed in place, thereby increasing the connection stability of the damping member 2 and achieving the effect of facilitating the assembler to assemble the damping member 2.

[0088] Further, see Figure 3 and Figure 7 The end surface of the stop protrusion 23 toward the opening and closing end is an inclined surface, so that when the damping member 2 is installed, the end surface of the stop protrusion 23 toward the opening and closing end guides the deformation of the stop protrusion 23, and then the assembler can use less force to install the damping member 2 into the installation cavity, so as to achieve the effect of facilitating the assembly of the damping member 2, thereby reducing the difficulty of assembling the damping member 2, improving the assembly efficiency of the damping member 2, and reducing the production cost of the pot cover assembly.

[0089] Further, refer to Figure 3 and Figure 7 The end surface of the stop protrusion 23 facing away from the engagement end is a vertical surface, so as to increase the stop matching stability between the stop protrusion 23 and the stop surface 112, thereby further increasing the connection stability between the damping member 2 and the installation cavity.

[0090] The present application does not specifically limit the shape of the limiting rib 11. Preferably, refer to Figure 1 and Figure 8 The limiting rib 11 is U-shaped, so that a mounting cavity is formed between the limiting rib 11 and the cover body 1, thereby increasing the strength of the cavity wall of the mounting cavity to increase the connection stability between the damping member 2 and the mounting cavity. In other embodiments, two L-shaped structures can also be arranged oppositely.

[0091] In other embodiments, the cover body 1 is provided with a raised block, and a mounting cavity is formed inside the raised block to ensure the structural strength of the wall of the mounting cavity.

[0092] Reference Figures 10 to 13 The present application also discloses a cooking utensil, which includes a pot body 4 and the above-mentioned pot cover assembly, wherein the hinged end of the cover body 1 is hinged to the pot body 4 so that the cover body 1 has a closed position and an open position, and the pot body 4 is provided with a matching portion 41 corresponding to the damping member 2, and when the cover body 1 rotates between the closed position and the open position, the damping member 2 can contact the matching portion 41.

[0093] Specifically, an inner pot 42 is provided inside the pot body 4, and a sealing ring 15 is provided on the cover body 1. When the cover body 1 is in the closed position, the sealing ring 15 contacts the edge of the inner pot 42, so that the cover body 1 and the inner pot 42 form a sealed cooking cavity together. When the cover body 1 is in the open position, the cover body 1 drives the sealing ring 15 to separate from the inner pot 42 to open the cooking cavity.

[0094] Due to the adoption of the above-mentioned pot cover assembly, the buffer stroke of the damping member 2 is increased to increase the buffering effect of the damping member 2, thereby reducing the requirement for the interference between the damping member 2 and the mating portion 41 when installing, thereby reducing the difficulty of installing the damping member 2, improving the assembly efficiency of the damping member 2, thereby improving the production efficiency of the cooking utensil and reducing the production cost of the cooking utensil. At the same time, when the user rotates the cover body 1 from the closed position to the open position, the cover body 1 moves smoothly to avoid the situation of incomplete opening of the cover or pot jumping, thereby improving the user's experience.

[0095] Anything not described in this application can be achieved by adopting or drawing on existing technologies.

[0096] The various embodiments in this specification are described in a progressive manner, and the same or similar parts between the various embodiments can be referenced to each other, and each embodiment focuses on the differences from other embodiments.

[0097] The above is only an embodiment of the present application and is not intended to limit the present application. For those skilled in the art, the present application may have various changes and variations. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present application should be included in the scope of the claims of the present application.
