When the pot lid is opened to the maximum angle, the pot will jump, resulting in a poor user experience. In order to solve the above problem, a special hydraulic buffer is generally provided on the cooking utensils. Although the above structure can reduce the lid opening speed, the production cost is high. Summary of the invention

[0003] The main purpose of the present invention is to provide a cooking utensil to solve the problem that the pot easily jumps out when the cover of the cooking utensil is opened in the prior art.

[0004] In order to achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the present invention provides a cooking utensil, comprising: a pot body, having a cooking cavity; a pot cover, pivotally arranged on the pot body through a pivot and a torsion spring; a heating device, used to heat the food in the cooking cavity; a push assembly, comprising a push piece and an elastic piece, wherein the push piece is movably arranged on the pot body through the elastic piece, the push piece and the pivot are located on the same side of the longitudinal axis of the pot body, and during the process of opening the pot cover, the push assembly abuts and cooperates with the pot cover, or the push piece is movably arranged on the pot cover through the elastic piece, the push piece and the pivot are located on the same side of the longitudinal axis of the pot cover, and during the process of opening the pot cover, the push assembly abuts and cooperates with the pot body, wherein the push assembly can provide an upward push force for the pot cover to reduce the speed of opening the cover.

[0005] Furthermore, the torsion force provided by the torsion spring to the pot cover is greater than the maximum resisting force that the resisting assembly can provide to the pot cover.

[0006] Furthermore, the abutting member is a abutting rod, the elastic member is a spring sleeved on the abutting rod, the first end of the spring abuts against the abutting rod, and the second end of the spring abuts against the pot body or the pot cover.

[0007] Furthermore, a mounting seat is provided on the pot body, and a push piece is passed through the mounting seat. The upper end of the push piece passing through the mounting seat can abut and cooperate with the pot cover. There is a accommodating space in the mounting seat, and the spring is accommodated in the accommodating space. The second end of the spring abuts against the mounting seat.

[0008] Furthermore, the pot body includes a pot body and a middle plate arranged on the pot body, the mounting base includes a cylinder body arranged on the middle plate and extending downwardly, and a cover plate covering the bottom opening of the cylinder body, and the cylinder body and the middle plate are an integrated structure.

[0009] Furthermore, the push rod includes a rod body inserted through the mounting seat and a stop structure located in the accommodating space, the spring is sleeved on the rod body, the first end of the spring abuts against the stop structure, the second end of the spring abuts against the cover plate, and the stop structure can abut and cooperate with the middle plate to prevent the push rod from falling out of the mounting seat.

[0010] Furthermore, a matching structure is provided on the pot cover to match with the upper end of the abutting rod.

[0011] Further, the matching structure is a matching plate.

[0012] Furthermore, the pot cover includes a surface cover, a lining and an inner cover which are arranged in sequence from the outside to the inside, and a matching plate is arranged on the lining. When the pot cover is arranged on the pot body, an extension direction of the matching plate is the same as an extension direction of the push rod, and there is a predetermined distance between the matching plate and the push rod.

[0013] Furthermore, the elastic member is a silicone member.

[0014] Furthermore, the cooking utensil is an electric pressure cooker, the pot cover is provided with pot teeth, and the pot body is provided with cover teeth that cooperate with the pot teeth.

[0015] By applying the technical solution of the present invention, the push-up component is arranged on a side of the pot body close to the pivot or a side of the pot cover close to the pivot. During the process of opening the pot cover, under the action of the torsion force of the torsion spring, the side of the pot cover close to the pivot rotates downward, and the push-up component can provide an upward push-up force for the pot cover to prevent the pot cover from rotating. As the opening angle of the pot cover increases, the upward push-up force provided by the push-up component for the pot cover also increases, and the speed of the pot cover becomes slower and slower during the process of opening the pot cover, thereby playing a buffering role, and finally solving the problem of the cooking utensil easily jumping out of the pot when the lid is opened in the prior art.

[0026] It should be noted that, in the absence of conflict, the embodiments and features in the embodiments of the present application can be combined with each other. The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and in combination with the embodiments.

[0027] like Figures 1 to 7 As shown, the cooking device of the first embodiment includes: a pot body 10, a pot cover 20, a push-up assembly 30 and a heating device. The pot body 10 has a cooking cavity; the pot cover 20 is pivotally arranged on the pot body 10 through a pivot and a torsion spring; the heating device is used to heat the food in the cooking cavity; the push-up assembly 30 includes a push-up member 31 and an elastic member 32, the push-up member 31 is movably arranged on the pot body 10 through the elastic member 32, the push-up member 31 and the pivot are located on the same side of the longitudinal axis of the pot body 10, and when the pot cover 20 is opened, the push-up assembly 30 is in abutment with the pot cover 20, and the push-up assembly 30 can provide an upward push-up force for the pot cover 20 to reduce the opening speed.

[0028] According to the technical solution of the first embodiment, the push-up assembly 30 is arranged on a side of the pot body 10 close to the pivot. When the pot cover 20 is opened, the side of the pot cover 20 close to the pivot rotates downward under the action of the torsion force of the torsion spring. The push-up assembly 30 can provide an upward push-up force for the pot cover 20 to prevent the pot cover 20 from rotating. As the opening angle increases, the upward push-up force provided by the push-up assembly 30 for the pot cover 20 also increases. The speed of the pot cover 20 becomes slower and slower during the opening process, thereby playing a buffering role, and finally solving the problem of the cooking utensil easily jumping out of the pot when the cover is opened in the prior art.

[0029] It should be noted that the pot cover has a first position where it covers the pot body, a second position where it is opened to a predetermined position, and a third position between the first position and the second position. Figure 1 and Figure 2 The structure diagram of the cooking appliance is shown when the pot cover is in the first position. Figure 3 and Figure 4 The structure diagram of the cooking appliance is shown when the pot cover is in the third position. Figure 5 and Figure 6 The structural diagram of the cooking appliance is shown when the pot cover is in the second position.

[0030] In the first embodiment, the torsion force provided by the torsion spring to the pot cover 20 is greater than the maximum resisting force that the resisting assembly 30 can provide to the pot cover 20. The above structure prevents the pot cover 20 from rotating under the resisting force after opening to the maximum angle, ensuring that the pot cover 20 can stay at a predetermined position.

[0031] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, in the first embodiment, the push member 31 is a push rod, the elastic member 32 is a spring sleeved on the push rod, the first end of the spring is in contact with the push rod, and the second end of the spring is in contact with the pot body 10 or the pot cover 20. The above structure is simple and easy to process and assemble. In addition, since the elastic force generated by the spring can be calculated according to the pitch, the application of the spring can more accurately control the opening speed of the lid, thereby further improving the user experience.

[0032] In the first embodiment, the spring can be a spring with a constant pitch or a spring with a variable pitch, and can be set according to actual needs.

[0033] like Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 6 As shown, in the first embodiment, a mounting seat 121 is provided on the pot body 10, and a push piece 31 is passed through the mounting seat 121. The upper end of the push piece 31 passing through the mounting seat 121 can be abutted and matched with the pot cover 20. The mounting seat 121 has a receiving space, and the spring is received in the receiving space, and the second end of the spring abuts against the mounting seat 121. The above structure is simple and plays a certain guiding role for the spring. In addition, arranging the spring in the receiving space can make the structure simple and the appearance beautiful.

[0034] like Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 6As shown, in the first embodiment, the pot body 10 includes a pot body 11 and a middle plate 12 disposed on the pot body 11, and the mounting seat 121 includes a cylinder 122 disposed on the middle plate 12 and extending downward, and a cover plate 123 covering the bottom opening of the cylinder 122, and the cylinder 122 and the middle plate 12 are an integral structure. The above structure is simple and is convenient for assembling the push rod and the spring. The cover plate 123 can be fixed on the cylinder 122 by screws, buckles, hot melt, etc.

[0035] like Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 6 As shown, in the first embodiment, the push rod includes a rod body 311 passing through the mounting seat 121 and a stop structure 312 located in the accommodation space, a spring is sleeved on the rod body 311, a first end of the spring abuts against the stop structure 312, a second end of the spring abuts against the cover plate 123, and the stop structure 312 can abut against the middle plate 12 to prevent the push rod from coming out of the mounting seat 121. The above structure is simple and easy to process.

[0036] like Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 6 As shown, in the first embodiment, a matching structure 40 is provided on the pot cover 20 to match with the upper end of the abutting rod. The above structure facilitates the abutting rod to abut the pot cover 20, and the purpose of the abutting assembly 30 providing the pot cover 20 with an upward abutting force is easily achieved.

[0037] like Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 6 As shown, in the first embodiment, the matching structure 40 is a matching plate. The above structure is simple and easy to process.

[0038] like Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 6 As shown, in the first embodiment, the pot cover 20 includes a surface cover, an inner lining and an inner cover which are sequentially arranged from the outside to the inside, and a matching plate is arranged on the inner lining. When the pot cover is arranged on the pot body 10, the extending direction of the matching plate is the same as the extending direction of the push rod, and there is a predetermined distance between the matching plate and the push rod. Specifically, when the pot cover 20 is turned to a predetermined angle, the matching plate can contact the upper end of the push rod, and as the pot cover 20 is further opened, the matching plate can push downward against the push rod, and the spring that pushes against the push rod can provide an upward reaction force for the push rod, and acts on the pot cover 20 through the push rod to reduce the opening speed of the pot cover 20.

[0039] In the first embodiment, the cooking utensil is an electric pressure cooker, the pot cover 20 is provided with pot teeth, and the pot body 10 is provided with cover teeth that match the pot teeth.

[0040] It should be noted that in the first embodiment, in the closed state, the push-up member 31 is supported by the elastic member 32, and the push-up assembly 30 is in an initial free state. In the open state, the pot cover 20 pushes down against the push-up member 31 to compress the elastic member 32, and at this time, the push-up assembly 30 is in a compressed state.

[0041] The cooking utensil of the second embodiment differs from the cooking utensil of the first embodiment in the structure of the elastic member 32. Specifically, in the second embodiment (not shown in the figure), the elastic member 32 is a silicone member. When the pot cover 20 is rotated to a predetermined angle, the matching plate can contact the upper end of the push rod, and as the pot cover 20 is further opened, the matching plate can push down against the push rod, and the silicone member that pushes against the push rod can provide an upward reaction force for the push rod, and act on the pot cover 20 through the push rod to reduce the opening speed of the pot cover 20. The above structure is simple and has low production cost.

[0042] The cooking utensil of the third embodiment is different from the cooking utensil of the first embodiment in the setting position of the push-up assembly 30. Specifically, in the third embodiment (not shown in the figure), the push-up member 31 is movably arranged on the pot cover 20 through the elastic member 32, and the push-up member 31 and the pivot are located on the same side of the longitudinal axis of the pot cover 20. During the process of opening the pot cover 20, the push-up assembly 30 is in abutment with the pot body 10, and the push-up assembly 30 can provide an upward push-up force for the pot cover 20 to reduce the opening speed. During the opening process of the pot cover 20, under the action of the torsion of the torsion spring, the side of the pot cover 20 close to the pivot rotates downward, and the push-up assembly 30 can provide an upward push-up force for the pot cover 20 to hinder the rotation of the pot cover 20. As the opening angle increases, the upward push-up force provided by the push-up assembly 30 to the pot cover 20 is also greater, and the speed of the pot cover 20 is slower and slower during the opening process, thereby playing a buffering role, and finally solving the problem of easy pot jumping when the cooking utensil is opened in the prior art.

[0043] In the third embodiment, the push member 31 is a push rod, and the elastic member 32 is a spring. When the pot cover 20 is rotated to a predetermined angle, the lower end of the push rod abuts against the pot body 10, and the spring is compressed and exerts an upward reaction force on the pot cover to reduce the opening speed of the pot cover 20. The above structure is simple and easy to implement. Of course, the above elastic member 32 can also be a silicone member.

[0044] In the third embodiment, the pot cover comprises an upper cover assembly and an inner cover arranged in the upper cover assembly, the inner cover is provided with cover teeth, and the pot body is provided with pot teeth. The abutting assembly 30 is arranged on the upper cover assembly.

[0045] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. For those skilled in the art, the present invention may have various modifications and variations. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present invention shall be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
