DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0024] 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.

[0025] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, the cooking device of this embodiment includes: a pot body 10 and a pot cover. The pot body 10 has an operating portion. The pot cover 20 has an exhaust passage 21 and covers the pot body 10. The pot cover 20 includes a surface cover, and a steam outlet 221 is provided on the surface cover. The steam in the cooking device is discharged from the steam outlet 221, and the discharge angle of the steam can be adjusted according to the discharge pressure of the steam.

[0026] By applying the technical solution of this embodiment, a steam outlet is provided on the cover, and when in use, the steam is discharged from the steam outlet through the exhaust pipe on the pot cover. Due to different discharge pressures, the forces acting on the wall of the steam and the cover are different, and the observed steam discharge angles are also different. The technical solution of the present invention effectively solves the problem that the pressure display method in the prior art cannot intuitively show the pressure size.

[0027] It is worth noting that the operating part of this embodiment is a lug disposed on the outer wall of the pot body 10, which is convenient for the operator to hold, or the operating part is an operating rod disposed on the outer wall of the pot body 10, which is convenient for the operator to take and place the pot body 10 and align it with the pot cover. Of course, the structure of the operating part of the present application is not limited to the above structure.

[0028] like Figure 3 As shown, in the technical solution of this embodiment, the face cover includes a face cover body and a steam box 22 arranged on the face cover body, a steam outlet 221 is arranged on the steam box 22, and the inner wall of the steam box 22 has an inclined surface and / or a curved surface, so that the steam discharge angle is different when the steam and the inner wall of the steam box 22 have different forces. During use, the steam can only be discharged from the steam outlet 221. When the internal pressure is very large, the discharged steam speed is very large. After leaving the steam box 22, the speed direction approximately along the tangent of the inclined surface is still maintained within a certain range. When the internal pressure gradually decreases, the force of the steam on the inner wall of the steam box decreases, and even some steam will not have a force with the inner wall of the steam box, and the rising route of the steam changes, for example, the steam moves upward close to the vertical direction, so that the pressure in the cooking utensil can be clearly distinguished with the naked eye. Specifically, the upper surface of the steam box 22 has a sinking groove, and the steam outlet 221 is arranged on the side wall of the sinking groove close to the air inlet channel. When the steam of the above structure condenses on the steam box 22, it is easy to clean.

[0029] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, in the technical solution of this embodiment, the exhaust channel 21 includes an exhaust pipe 211, and the steam box 22 is provided with an air inlet channel 222, which is a cannula inserted into the exhaust pipe 211 to discharge steam into the steam box 22, and there are two steam outlets 221, which are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the air inlet channel. The two symmetrical steam outlets 221 can discharge two symmetrical streams of gas, and the user can judge the pressure in the pot by observing the angle between the two streams of gas. The angle formed by the two streams of steam ranges from 0 to 180 degrees.

[0030] like Figure 3 As shown, in the technical solution of this embodiment, the pot cover 20 further includes an inner pot cover 23, an inner liner 24 and a pressure limiting valve 231. The pressure limiting valve 231 is mounted on the inner pot cover 23. The inner liner 24 has a pressure limiting valve cover 241, and the pressure limiting valve cover 241 is covered on the pressure limiting valve 231. The above structure ensures the sealing effect of the pressure cooker, so that the steam can only be discharged from the exhaust outlet.

[0031] like Figure 3 As shown, in the technical solution of this embodiment, the first end of the exhaust pipe 211 is inserted into the pressure limiting valve cover 241, and the cannula is inserted into the second end of the exhaust pipe 211. The exhaust pipe 211 serves to connect the pressure limiting valve 231 and the cannula. Furthermore, the exhaust pipe 211 also serves to connect the inside of the pot body 10 and the steam box 22. The exhaust pipe 211 has a simple structure, reliable effect, and is easy to install and maintain. Of course, the exhaust pipe 211 can also be designed to be inserted into the cannula. The above structure can be designed according to actual needs and sealed.

[0032] like Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, in the technical solution of this embodiment, the steam box 22 includes a bottom plate 223 and a panel 224, the bottom plate 223 and the panel 224 are connected by a snap structure 25 to form a closed box-like structure, the bottom plate 223 is provided with an air inlet channel 222, and the steam outlet 221 is provided on the panel 224. The structure of the steam box 22 as the bottom plate 223 and the panel 224 is convenient for disassembly, assembly and maintenance, for example, the steam box 22 can be wiped when it is polluted. There are two inclined surfaces and / or curved surfaces at the position where the steam is discharged on the inner wall of the panel 224, which can give the speed of the discharged steam along the tangent direction of the inclined surface and / or curved surface.

[0033] like Figure 5As shown, in the technical solution of this embodiment, the edge of the bottom plate 223 has an upper flange 225, and the edge of the panel 224 has a lower flange 226. The outer wall of the upper flange 225 and the inner wall of the lower flange 226 have a snap structure 25 that cooperates with each other, and the upper flange 225 is an inverted U-shape. The snap structure 25 has a simple structure, is convenient for disassembly and assembly, and has low manufacturing cost. The inverted U-shape can ensure that the upper flange 225 has a certain elasticity, so that the upper flange 225 is easy to deform, and the lower flange 226 is easier to cooperate with the upper flange 225. The bottom plate 223 and the panel 224 of the above structure cooperate through the snap structure 25, so that the structure is more compact, and the disassembly and assembly speed is faster than that of being connected by fasteners.

[0034] like Figure 3 As shown, in the technical solution of this embodiment, the cover body has a mounting notch for the steam box 22, the steam box 22 is mounted at the mounting notch, and the steam box 22 and the cover body are interference-fitted. The interference-fit can facilitate the installation of the two and avoid damage during installation.

[0035] like Figure 3 As shown, in the technical solution of this embodiment, a buckle portion is provided between the steam box 22 and the cover body. The above structure ensures that the steam box 22 is easy to be removed and installed from the cover body.

[0036] The cooking utensil of the present embodiment is an electric pressure cooker or an electric rice cooker. The size of the pressure inside the electric pressure cooker or the electric rice cooker can be easily observed from the outside.

[0037] From the above description, it can be seen that the above embodiments of the present invention achieve the effect of intuitively displaying the pressure magnitude.

[0038] 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.
