Detailed implementation manners

[0028] It should be noted that, without conflict, the embodiments in the present application and the features in the embodiments can be combined with each other. The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings and in combination with the embodiments.

[0029] As Figures 1 to 3 shown, the cooking appliance of this embodiment includes: a pot body, a pot lid 10, and a rotating handle fixed on the pot lid 10 for opening the pot lid 10 from the pot body. Among them, the pot body is used to hold the food to be cooked. The pot lid 10 is covered on the pot body. The pot lid 10 includes a side cover assembly 20 and an inner lid 30 arranged inside the side cover assembly 20. The side cover assembly 20 includes a first side cover 21 and a second side cover 22 located inside the first side cover 21. The inner lid 30 is connected to the first side cover 21 and presses the second side cover 22 against the first side cover 21.

[0030] Applying the technical solution of the present invention, when installing the pot lid 10, first place the first lid surface 21, the second lid surface 22 and the inner lid 30 in a predetermined area, and then connect the inner lid 30 with the first lid surface 21. When the inner lid 30 is installed in place, the inner lid 30 can apply an upward force to the second lid surface 22 so that the second lid surface 22 can abut against the first lid surface 21, thereby making the first lid surface 21, the second lid surface 22 and the inner lid 30 relatively fixed. The above structure can greatly reduce the use of screws, effectively simplify the installation process, improve the assembly efficiency, and solve the problem of low assembly efficiency of the pot lid of the cooking appliance in the prior art.

[0031] As Figures 2 to 4 shown, in this embodiment, the second lid surface 22 is located inside the first lid surface 21 in the circumferential direction. At least part of the second lid surface 22 is located below the first lid surface 21.

[0032] As Figure 2 and Figure 3 shown, in this embodiment, the second lid surface 22 is provided with an abutting structure extending downward, and the inner lid 30 abuts upward against the abutting structure so that the second lid surface 22 abuts against the first lid surface 21. The above structure is simple and easy to implement.

[0033] As Figures 2 to 4 、 Figure 7 and Figure 8 shown, in this embodiment, the second lid surface 22 includes a first top wall 221 and a first side wall 222 provided on the circumferential outer side of the first top wall 221. The first side wall 222 forms the abutting structure. The outer surface of the inner lid 30 has an abutting surface 31, and the lower end of the first side wall 222 abuts on the abutting surface 31. The above structure does not need to be provided with a separate abutting structure, thereby reducing the production cost. Of course, those skilled in the art should know that the abutting structure can also be a separate component and can be detachably provided on the second lid surface 22 through other connection structures.

[0034] As Figure 2 、 Figures 6 to 8 shown, in this embodiment, a positioning structure 40 is provided between the first lid surface 21 and the second lid surface 22 to prevent the first lid surface 21 from moving relative to the second lid surface 22 in the radial direction of the pot lid 10. When installing the pot lid 10, first position the first lid surface 21 and the second lid surface 22 through the positioning structure 40 to prevent the first lid surface 21 from moving relative to the second lid surface 22 in the radial direction of the pot lid 10, and then connect the inner lid 30 with the first lid surface 21. When the inner lid 30 is installed in place, the inner lid 30 can apply an upward force to the second lid surface 22 so that the second lid surface 22 can abut against the first lid surface 21, thereby making the first lid surface 21, the second lid surface 22 and the inner lid 30 relatively fixed. The above structure is convenient for installers to assemble, thereby improving the production efficiency.

[0035] As Figure 2 、 Figures 6 to 8 shown, in this embodiment, the positioning structure 40 includes a positioning groove 41 and a positioning protrusion 42 that cooperate with each other. The positioning groove 41 extends downward. One of the positioning groove 41 and the positioning protrusion 42 is provided on the first face cover 21, and the other of the positioning groove 41 and the positioning protrusion 42 is provided on the second face cover 22. The above structure is simple and easy to process. During assembly, only need to align the positioning protrusion 42 with the positioning groove 41 first, and then insert the positioning protrusion 42 into the positioning groove 41.

[0036] As Figure 2 、 Figures 6 to 8 shown, in this embodiment, the positioning groove 41 is provided at the connection between the first top wall 221 and the first side wall 222, and the positioning protrusion 42 is provided on the first face cover 21 and extends downward. The above structure is simple and convenient for positioning.

[0037] As Figures 2 to 5 shown, in this embodiment, a first avoidance hole 211 for avoiding part of the second face cover 22 is provided in the upper part of the first face cover 21, and the positioning protrusion 42 is provided on the circumferential outer side of the first avoidance hole 211. The above structure enables part of the outer surface of the first face cover 21 and part of the outer surface of the second face cover 22 to be exposed, so as to achieve the purpose of showing different materials or different colors on the same face cover, making the appearance of the cooking appliance more beautiful.

[0038] As Figures 2 to 5 shown, in this embodiment, a main arm 212 extending inward is provided at the first avoidance hole 211, a second avoidance hole 223 corresponding to the main arm 212 is provided on the second face cover 22, and a first clamping structure 50 is provided between the main arm 212 and the circumferential outer side of the second avoidance hole 223 on the second face cover 22. Specifically, when installing the pot lid 10, first align the positioning protrusion 42 with the positioning groove 41, and align the first clamping structure 50 with the first bayonet. Then move the second face cover 22 towards the first face cover 21 until the positioning protrusion 42 extends into the positioning groove 41, and at the same time the first clamping structure 50 is clamped on the first bayonet. The above structure enables the first face cover 21 not to move radially or circumferentially relative to the second face cover. Then connect the inner lid 30 to the first face cover 21. When the inner lid 30 is installed in place, the inner lid 30 can apply an upward force to the second face cover 22 so that the second face cover 22 can abut against the first face cover 21, so that the first face cover 21, the second face cover 22 and the inner lid 30 are fixed in the axial direction, and finally the relative fixation of the first face cover 21, the second face cover 22 and the inner lid 30 is realized.

[0039] Preferably, in this embodiment, the rotating handle is located on the main arm 212.

[0040] AsFigure 2 and Figure 8 As shown in Figure 8 , in this embodiment, the abutting structure further includes an abutting post 224 disposed on the circumferential outer side of the second avoidance hole 223. The inner cover 30 abuts upward against the abutting post 224 so that the second face cover 22 abuts against the main arm 212. The above structure can increase the abutting points and ensure that the second face cover 22 located between the inner cover 30 and the first face cover 21 does not shake.

[0041] As Figures 2 to 6 shown in Figures 2 to 6 , in this embodiment, a second clamping structure 60 is provided between the second side wall of the first face cover 21 and the first side wall 222 of the second face cover 22 to clamp the first face cover 21 on the second face cover 22. Specifically, when installing the pot lid 10, first align the positioning protrusion 42 with the positioning groove 41 and align the second clamping structure 60 with the second bayonet. Then move the second face cover 22 towards the first face cover 21 until the positioning protrusion 42 extends into the positioning groove 41, and at the same time the second clamping structure 60 is clamped on the second bayonet. The above structure makes the first face cover 21 unable to move radially or circumferentially relative to the second face cover 22. Then connect the inner cover 30 with the first face cover 21. When the inner cover 30 is installed in place, the inner cover 30 can apply an upward force to the second face cover 22 so that the second face cover 22 can abut against the first face cover 21, thereby fixing the first face cover 21, the second face cover 22 and the inner cover 30 in the axial direction, and finally realizing the relative fixation of the first face cover 21, the second face cover 22 and the inner cover 30.

[0042] As Figures 2 to 6 shown in Figures 2 to 6 , in this embodiment, both a first clamping structure 50 and a second clamping structure 60 are provided on the first face cover 21. The above structure makes it impossible for the first face cover 21 and the second face cover 22 to rotate relative to each other when rotating the screw to fix the inner cover 30 on the face cover assembly 20, thereby making the assembly more convenient and improving the assembly efficiency.

[0043] As Figures 1 to 3 shown in Figures 1 to 3 , in this embodiment, the cooking appliance is an electric pressure cooker. There are pot teeth provided on the pot body, and cover teeth cooperating with the pot teeth are provided on the inner cover 30 to lock the pot lid 10 on the pot body.

[0044] As Figures 1 to 8 shown in Figures 1 to 8 , the cooking appliance of this embodiment includes a pot body and a pot lid 10. Among them, the pot lid 10 includes a first face cover 21, a second face cover 22 and an inner cover 30 which are arranged in sequence from outside to inside. A cooking cavity is formed between the inner cover 30 and the pot body. The first face cover 21 is provided with a main arm 212 extending inwards. The top wall of the second face cover 22 is located below the main arm 212, and a second avoidance hole 223 corresponding to the main arm 212 is provided thereon, and the main arm 212 shields at the second avoidance hole 223.

[0045] Applying the technical solution of this embodiment, since the second cover 22 is located above the inner cover 30, when the cooking appliance is working, the inner cover 30 with a higher temperature will not be exposed outside, preventing the user from being scalded by the inner cover 30 and solving the problem of poor user experience of the cooking appliance in the prior art. In addition, a main arm 212 extending inwards is provided on the first cover 21, and a second avoidance hole corresponding to the main arm is provided on the second cover 22. The above structure hollowes out the position of the second cover 22 corresponding to the main arm 212, so that on the premise of ensuring the beauty of the pot lid 10, the materials used for the second cover 22 are greatly reduced, thereby reducing the production cost.

[0046] As Figures 2 to 8 shown, in this embodiment, the main arm 212 and the second cover 22 are connected by snap connection. The above connection method is simple and convenient for assembly, thus improving the production efficiency. In addition, since the main arm 212 extends inwards, the position of the second cover 22 close to the middle part can be connected to the position of the first cover 21 close to the middle part, so that there is a connection point in the middle part of the first cover 21 and the second cover 22, and further the connection between the first cover 21 and the second cover 22 is reliable.

[0047] As Figure 4 、 Figure 7 and Figure 8 shown, in this embodiment, a connecting plate 225 extending inwards is provided on the orifice wall of the second avoidance hole 223, and there are multiple first bayonets, and the multiple first bayonets are located on the connecting plate 225. The above structure can increase the connection points between the first cover 21 and the second cover 22, thus making the connection between the first cover 21 and the second cover 22 more reliable. In this embodiment, the thickness of the connecting plate 225 is less than the thickness of the top surface of the second cover 22. The above structure enables the first cover 21 and the second cover 22 to be firmly connected together and can also reduce the production cost of the second cover 22.

[0048] As Figures 4 to 8 shown, in this embodiment, the second avoidance hole 223 is U-shaped, the connecting plate 225 is a U-shaped plate corresponding to the shape of the second avoidance hole 223, and a shape-preserving plate 226 is connected to the opening of the connecting plate 225 to maintain the shape of the second avoidance hole 223. Preferably, in this embodiment, the second cover 22, the U-shaped plate and the shape-preserving plate 226 are of an integral structure. The above structure is simple and convenient for processing.

[0049] As Figures 4 to 8As shown in the figure, in this embodiment, a butting post 224 extending downward is provided at the second avoidance hole 223. As the inner lid 30 is connected to the main arm 212, the upper surface of the inner lid 30 gradually abuts against the butting post 224 so that the second lid 22 abuts against the main arm 212. Specifically, when installing the pot lid 10, first snap the first lid 21 and the second lid 22 together, then place the inner lid 30 inside the first lid 21 and the second lid 22, and then connect the inner lid 30 to the main arm 212. When the inner lid 30 is installed in place, the inner lid 30 can apply an upward force to the butting post 224, so that the second lid 22 can abut against the main arm 212, thereby making the first lid 21, the second lid 22 and the inner lid 30 relatively fixed. The above structure can greatly reduce the use of screws, effectively simplify the installation process, improve the assembly efficiency, and solve the problem of low assembly efficiency of the pot lid of the cooking appliance in the prior art. Preferably, in this embodiment, the butting post 224 is provided on the lower surface of the connecting plate 225.

[0050] As Figure 8 shown, in this embodiment, there are multiple butting posts 224. On the one hand, the above structure is simple and easy to process. On the other hand, the above structure makes it difficult for the inner lid 30 to deflect when the inner lid 30 is installed on the main arm 212, so that the assembly is more smooth and the assembly effect is better.

[0051] In this embodiment, an exhaust passage is provided on the inner lid 30, and the cooking appliance further includes a pressure limiting valve. The pressure limiting valve blocks the exhaust passage. When the gas pressure in the cooking cavity is greater than a predetermined value, the pressure limiting valve can open the exhaust passage to communicate the gas in the cooking cavity with the outside atmosphere. A limiting cylinder for limiting the pressure limiting valve is provided on the main arm 212. The above structure of arranging the limiting cylinder on the main arm 212 makes the appearance of the pot lid cleaner, thereby improving the appearance of the cooking appliance.

[0052] In this embodiment, the cooking appliance further includes an auxiliary exhaust structure. The auxiliary exhaust structure is provided on the main arm 212. When an external force is applied to the auxiliary exhaust structure, the auxiliary exhaust structure can push the pressure limiting valve to open the exhaust passage. The above structure of arranging the auxiliary exhaust structure on the main arm 212 makes the appearance of the pot lid cleaner, thereby improving the appearance of the cooking appliance. It should be noted that, in this embodiment, the auxiliary exhaust structure is. The manual exhaust mechanism includes an exhaust button and a lever. When the user presses the exhaust button, one end of the lever sinks under the action of the exhaust button, and the other end of the lever floats up to push the pressure limiting valve.

[0053] In this embodiment, the cooking appliance further includes a rotating handle, and the rotating handle is provided on the main arm 212. The above structure integrates the limiting cylinder, the auxiliary exhaust structure and the rotating handle on the main arm 212, making the appearance of the pot lid more tidy.

[0054] The above are only the preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. For those skilled in the art, various modifications and variations can be made to the present invention. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present invention shall be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
