[0053] 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.

[0054] like Figures 1 to 10 and Fig.19 As shown, the cooking appliance of the first embodiment includes: an appliance body 10, a pressure limiting valve 20, a toggle member 30 and a heating device. The appliance body 10 has a cooking cavity and an exhaust passage 1 connecting the cooking cavity with the outside atmosphere. The pressure limiting valve 20 cooperates with the exhaust passage 1. The toggle member 30 includes a first main body 31 rotatably arranged on the appliance body 10 and a butting portion 32 arranged on the first main body 31 and capable of butting against (directly or indirectly butting against) the pressure limiting valve 20, at least part of the first main body 31 is located outside the appliance body 10, and the heating device is arranged on the appliance body 10 to heat the food in the cooking cavity.

[0055] The technical solution of the first embodiment is applied, and the cooking utensil includes a toggle member 30. When manual exhaust is required, the user toggles the first main body 31, and the abutting top portion 32 rotates toward the pressure limiting valve 20 and can abut the pressure limiting valve 20, so that the pressure limiting valve 20 is tilted and the exhaust channel 1 is opened, and finally the purpose of manual exhaust is achieved. The above structure is simple, easy to assemble, and low in cost. In addition, since the toggle member 30 has a low space requirement, the cooking utensil is small in size, which is conducive to miniaturization design.

[0056] It should be noted that the word "push" means to push or stir with fingers or sticks. In Embodiment 1, the user can poke (i.e. push) the paddle member 30 with his fingers, and the paddle member 30 transmits the thrust applied by the user to the pressure limiting valve 20 to keep the pressure limiting valve 20 away from the exhaust passage 1. It should also be noted that in the related art, there is a solution in which the user rotates a handle, and the handle cooperates with the pressure limiting valve to push the pressure limiting valve away from the exhaust passage, but the above-mentioned handle cannot be equivalent to the paddle member in Embodiment 1, because the user needs to hold the handle and apply external force to the handle. In Embodiment 1, the user can exhaust the air by pushing the paddle member 30 with a single finger, so it is faster and more labor-saving.

[0057] like Figure 2 , Figures 4 to 6 , Figure 8 , Fig. 9 , Fig.11 , Fig.12 and Fig.19As shown, in the first embodiment, the portion of the first main body 31 located outside the device body 10 is provided with a groove 313. The above structure facilitates the user's fingers to apply force to the first main body 31, so that the toggle member 30 can be smoothly toggled, thereby improving the user's experience. In other embodiments not shown in the figure, the portion of the first main body 31 located outside the device body 10 may also be provided with a protrusion, which may be a push plate or a plurality of small protrusions to increase friction.

[0058] like Figure 2 , Figures 4 to 6 , Figure 8 , Fig. 9 , Fig.11 , Fig.12 and Fig.19 As shown, in the first embodiment, the first main body 31 includes two side walls 311 arranged opposite to each other and a top wall 312 connected between the two side walls 311 and located on the upper part of the side walls 311, and a protrusion or groove 313 is arranged on the top wall 312. The above structure is simple, convenient for user operation, and improves the user experience.

[0059] like Figure 2 , Figures 4 to 6 , Figure 8 , Fig. 9 , Fig.11 , Fig.12 and Fig.19 As shown, in the first embodiment, the first main body 31 includes two side walls 311 arranged opposite to each other, and a pin 33 is respectively arranged on the outer surface of the two side walls 311, and the axes of the two pins 33 coincide. The above structure is simple, easy to process and low in cost. Preferably, in the first embodiment, the pin 33 and the first main body 31 are an integrally formed structure. Of course, in other embodiments not shown in the figure, the pin can also be a separate structure from the first main body, and the pin is passed through the two side walls and is relatively fixed to the first main body through the positioning structure.

[0060] like Figure 2 , Figures 4 to 6 , Figure 8 , Fig. 9 , Fig.11 , Fig.12 and Fig.19 As shown, in the first embodiment, a chamfer 331 is provided between the end surface of the pin shaft 33 and the side surface of the lower portion thereof. The above structure is simple, easy to assemble, and improves assembly efficiency.

[0061] like Fig.11 , Fig.12 and Fig.17As shown, in the first embodiment, two mounting plates 131 are arranged on the device body 10 in a relative manner, and mounting holes 132 cooperating with the pins 33 are provided on the mounting plates 131. When the toggle member 30 is installed, the chamfer 331 will abut against the upper part of the mounting plate 131. As the downward force continues to be applied to the toggle member 30, the two mounting plates 131 are deformed outward (away from their respective directions) under the guidance of the chamfers 331. When the pins 33 of the toggle member 30 move to the position corresponding to the mounting holes 132, the two mounting plates 131 return to the initial position under the action of their own elasticity. At this time, the pins 33 extend into the mounting holes 132 to complete the assembly. In the above assembly process, the chamfers 331 play a guiding role, reduce the difficulty of assembly, and improve the assembly efficiency.

[0062] like Figures 1 to 10 , Fig.15 and Fig.16 As shown, in the first embodiment, the cooking utensil further includes a push member 40, which is movably disposed on the utensil body, and the abutting portion 32 can abut the pressure-limiting valve 20 through the push member 40. Specifically, the user moves the toggle member 30 with a finger, and as the toggle member 30 rotates, the toggle member 30 can push the push member 40, so that the push member 40 moves in a predetermined direction. When the push member 40 moves to contact the pressure-limiting valve 20, the toggle member 30 is continued to be toggled, and the push member 40 can apply a force in a predetermined direction to the pressure-limiting valve 20 so that the pressure-limiting valve 20 can be effectively pushed away from the exhaust passage 1. The above structure can reduce the force of the user to toggle the toggle member 30, thereby improving the user's experience.

[0063] It should be noted that in the first embodiment, when exhaust is not required, the toggle member 30 does not cooperate with the pressure limiting valve 20 to abut against it, and the pressure limiting valve 20 blocks the exhaust passage 1 to achieve the normal pressure-up function. When exhaust is required, the user can toggle the toggle member 30 with a finger, and the toggle member 30 does not directly abut against the pressure limiting valve 20, but indirectly transmits force through a push member 40 to achieve an effect similar to the abutment between the two, and finally the pressure limiting valve 20 is tilted under the push of the push member 40, thereby achieving the purpose of opening the exhaust passage 1 to exhaust steam. Of course, in other embodiments not shown in the figure, the toggle member 30 can also directly abut against the pressure limiting valve 20.

[0064] like Figure 3 , Figure 7 , Fig.10 , Fig.15 and Fig.16 As shown, in the first embodiment, the push member 40 includes a second main body 41 and a push rod 44 disposed on a side of the second main body 41 close to the pressure limiting valve 20, and the push rod 44 can cooperate with the pressure limiting valve 20. The above structure is simple and easy to process. Preferably, in the first embodiment, the push rod 44 is pressed against the upper part of the side wall of the pressure limiting valve 20.

[0065] Since the positions where the toggle member 30 contacts the push member 40 are different when the toggle member 30 rotates, in order to enable the toggle member 30 to smoothly push the push member 40, as shown in FIG. Figure 3 , Figure 6 , Fig.10 , Fig.15 and Fig.16 As shown, in the first embodiment, the push member 40 includes a second main body 41 and a force-bearing portion 42 disposed on a side of the second main body 41 away from the pressure-limiting valve 20, and the force-bearing portion 42 can cooperate with the abutting portion 32. The above structure allows the overall size of the push member 40 to be small, and only the force-bearing portion 42 with a sufficient contact area needs to be provided, thus facilitating a miniaturized design.

[0066] like Figure 6 As shown, in embodiment 1, the force-bearing portion 42 includes a matching plate 421 set at an angle to the moving direction of the pushing member 40, and the abutting top portion 32 is a top plate. When the toggle member 30 is in the initial position, the abutting surface of the top plate fits with the matching surface of the matching plate 421.

[0067] like Figure 7 and Fig.10 As shown, in the first embodiment, a slide groove 2 is provided on the device body 10, and at least a portion of the second main body 41 is located in the slide groove 2. The above structure enables the push member 40 to slide along a predetermined direction.

[0068] like Figure 7 , Fig.10 and Fig.17 As shown, in the first embodiment, the second main body 41 includes a top wall 412, and two ribs 133 are arranged opposite to each other on the device body 10, and a slide 2 is formed between the two ribs 133 and the device body 10, and a baffle 134 is arranged at the opening 139 of the slide 2 near the pressure limiting valve 20, and an elastic reset structure 50 is arranged between the top wall 412 and the baffle 134. When the user no longer applies force to the toggle member 30, the elastic reset structure 50 can push the push member 40 back to its original position under the action of its elastic restoring force, and the push member 40 pushes the toggle member 30 back to its initial position. The above structure is simple, convenient for users to use, and can improve the user experience.

[0069] like Figure 7 , Fig.10 , Figures 13 to 17As shown, in the first embodiment, two rib plates 133 are arranged opposite to each other on the device body 10, and a slide groove 2 is formed between the two rib plates 133 and the device body 10, and the end of the slide groove 2 away from the pressure limiting valve 20 is a closed end 135. The second main body 41 is provided with a limiting rib 43, and when the push member 40 is in the initial position, the limiting rib 43 abuts against the closed end 135 of the slide groove 2. The above structure enables the push member 40 to return to the initial position each time under the elastic restoring force of the elastic reset structure 50. Specifically, in the first embodiment, the inner surface of the closed end 135 is an arc surface. If the contact surface between the push member 40 and the closed end 135 is too large, it may cause the position of the push member 40 in the slide groove 2 to be different each time. In order to solve the above problem, in embodiment 1, the push member 40 includes a limiting rib 43 that can cooperate with the closed end 135. Since the contact area between the limiting rib and the closed end 135 is small, it can ensure that the position of the push member 40 in the slide groove 2 is the same each time it returns.

[0070] If the user uses too much force to push the toggle member 30, the pressure limiting valve 20 may be out of the working position (that is, when the user no longer pushes the toggle member 30, the pressure limiting valve cannot block the exhaust passage 1). Figure 7 , Fig.10 and Fig.15 As shown, in the first embodiment, the end surface of the second main body 41 close to the pressure limiting valve 20 forms a limiting surface 411, and when the push member 40 moves to a predetermined position, the limiting surface 411 can abut against the appliance body 10. At this time, even if the user applies a greater force, the push member 40 will not continue to move toward the pressure limiting valve 20, ensuring that the pressure limiting valve can always be within the preset range. The above structure can limit the displacement of the push member 40, avoid the dislocation of the pressure limiting valve 20 due to excessive force applied by the user, and ensure the working reliability of the cooking appliance.

[0071] like Figure 7 , Fig.10 and Fig.17As shown, in the first embodiment, a limiting structure 136 is provided on the utensil body 10, and at least part of the limiting structure 136 is located on the upper side of the second main body 41, and the upper limit of the second main body 41 in the up-down direction is located between the limiting structure 136 and the utensil body 10. The above structure can prevent the push member 40 from slipping out of the chute 2 when it is subjected to an upward external force, thereby ensuring the reliability of the cooking utensil. Preferably, in the first embodiment, the limiting structure 136 is a buckle structure provided on the rib plate 133, and the buckle structure has a guiding inclined surface so that the push member 40 can be installed in the chute 2 from top to bottom. When the push member 40 is installed in the chute 2, the buckle structure can return to its original position under the action of its own elastic restoring force, and at least part of the hook of the buckle structure is located above the push member 40, so as to prevent the push member 40 from slipping out of the chute 2 upward. The above structure is simple and convenient for processing and assembly.

[0072] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Fig.10 and Fig.18 As shown, in the first embodiment, the utensil body 10 includes a pot body 11, a pot cover 12 and a handle 13 arranged on the pot cover 12, the handle 13 is provided with a first avoidance hole 137 and a second avoidance hole 138, the toggle member 30 and the push member 40 are arranged on the handle 13, at least part of the first main body 31 passes through the first avoidance hole 137, and at least part of the push member 40 passes through the second avoidance hole 138 to cooperate with the pressure limiting valve 20. The above structure enables at least part of the toggle member 30 and the push member 40 to be hidden in the handle, thereby making the structure more concise. In addition, arranging the toggle member 30 and the push member 40 on the handle is more convenient for users to operate, thereby improving the user experience.

[0073] In embodiment 1, the pot body 11 includes an outer pot, a heat preservation cover and an inner pot which are arranged in sequence from the outside to the inside. The cavity in the inner pot forms the above-mentioned cooking cavity. The heating device can be an electric heating film or a heating plate. When the heating device is an electric heating film, the electric heating film is arranged on the outer wall of the inner pot. When the heating device is a heating plate, the heating plate is located between the inner pot and the outer pot.

[0074] like Figure 3 , Figure 7 and Fig.10 As shown, in the first embodiment, a sealing structure 60 is provided between the hole wall of the second avoidance hole 138 and the portion of the push member 40 extending into the second avoidance hole 138. The above structure can prevent the gas exhausted from the exhaust channel 1 from entering the handle, and prevent water vapor from affecting the service life of the parts in the handle. Preferably, in the first embodiment, a hook is provided on the sealing structure 60, and the sealing structure 60 is clamped on the second avoidance hole 138.

[0075] It should be noted that if Figure 5 , Figure 8 , Fig.12 , Fig.17 and Fig.18 As shown, in embodiment one, the handle 13 includes a lower handle and an upper handle which are separately arranged, and there is a accommodating space between the upper handle and the lower handle. Two mounting plates 131, two rib plates 133 and a baffle plate 134 are arranged on the inner wall of the lower handle and extend toward the upper handle, and a first avoidance hole 137 and a second avoidance hole 138 are arranged in the upper handle.

[0076] The cooking utensil of the second embodiment differs from the cooking utensil of the first embodiment in the location of the toggle member 30. Specifically, Fig. 20 , Figure 22 to Figure 25 As shown, the cooking utensil of the second embodiment includes: an utensil body 10, a pressure limiting valve 20 and a toggle member 30. The utensil body 10 includes a pot body 11 and a pot cover 12 covered on the pot body 11, the pot cover 12 includes a surface cover 121 and an inner cover 122 located inside the surface cover 121, the pot body 11 has a cooking cavity, and the inner cover 122 is provided with an exhaust passage 1 connecting the cooking cavity with the outside atmosphere. The pressure limiting valve 20 cooperates with the exhaust passage 1. The toggle member 30 includes a first main body 31 rotatably provided on the surface cover 121 and a butting top 32 provided on the first main body 31 and capable of butting against the pressure limiting valve 20, and at least a portion of the first main body 31 is located outside the surface cover 121.

[0077] The technical solution of the second embodiment is applied, and the cooking utensil includes a toggle member 30 arranged on the face cover 121. When manual exhaust is required, the user toggles the first main body 31, and the top portion 32 rotates toward the pressure limiting valve 20 and can abut the pressure limiting valve 20, so that the pressure limiting valve 20 is tilted and the exhaust channel 1 is opened, and finally the purpose of manual exhaust is achieved. The above structure is simple, easy to assemble, and low in cost. In addition, since the toggle member 30 has a low space requirement between the face cover 121 and the inner cover 122, the pot cover 12 of the cooking utensil is small in size, which is conducive to miniaturization design.

[0078] It should be noted that the word "push" means to push or stir with fingers or sticks. In the second embodiment, the user can poke (i.e. push) the paddle member 30 with his fingers, and the paddle member 30 transmits the thrust applied by the user to the pressure limiting valve 20 to move the pressure limiting valve 20 away from the exhaust channel 1. It should also be noted that in the related art, there is a solution in which the user rotates the handle, and the handle cooperates with the pressure limiting valve to push the pressure limiting valve away from the exhaust channel, but the above-mentioned handle cannot be equivalent to the paddle member in the second embodiment, because the user needs to hold the handle and apply external force to the handle. In the second embodiment, the user can achieve exhaust by pushing the paddle member 30 with a single finger, so it is faster and more labor-saving.

[0079] like Fig. 20 , Fig.21 , Fig.24 , Fig.25 and Fig.28 As shown, in the second embodiment, the portion of the first main body 31 located outside the cover 121 is provided with a protrusion or a groove 313. The above structure facilitates the user's fingers to apply force to the first main body 31, so that the toggle member 30 can be smoothly toggled, thereby improving the user's experience. In other embodiments not shown in the figure, the portion of the first main body 31 located outside the cover 121 may also be provided with a protrusion, which may be a push plate or a plurality of small protrusions to increase friction.

[0080] like Fig.28 As shown, in the second embodiment, the first main body 31 includes two side walls 311 arranged opposite to each other and a top wall 312 connected between the two side walls 311 and located on the upper part of the side walls 311, and a protrusion or groove 313 is arranged on the top wall 312. The above structure is simple, convenient for user operation, and improves the user experience.

[0081] like Fig.23 and Fig.28 As shown, in the second embodiment, the first main body 31 includes two side walls 311 arranged opposite to each other, and a pin 33 is respectively arranged on the outer surface of the two side walls 311, and the axes of the two pins 33 coincide. The above structure is simple, easy to process and low in cost. Preferably, in the second embodiment, the pin 33 and the first main body 31 are an integrally formed structure. Of course, in other embodiments not shown in the figure, the pin can also be a separate structure from the first main body, and the pin is passed through the two side walls and fixed relatively to the first main body through the positioning structure.

[0082] like Fig. 22 , Fig.23 and Fig.26 As shown, in the second embodiment, two mounting plates 131 are arranged on the lower surface of the face cover 121, and mounting holes 132 cooperating with the pin 33 are provided on the mounting plates 131. The above structure is simple and easy to implement. In other embodiments not shown in the figure, a chamfer is arranged between the end face of the pin 33 and the side surface of the upper part thereof. When the toggle member 30 is installed, the chamfer will abut against the lower part of the mounting plate 131. As the downward force is continuously applied to the toggle member 30, the two mounting plates 131 are deformed outwardly (away from their respective directions) under the guidance of the chamfer. When the pin 33 of the toggle member 30 moves to the position corresponding to the mounting hole 132, the two mounting plates 131 return to the initial position under the action of their own elasticity. At this time, the pin 33 extends into the mounting hole 132 to complete the assembly. In the above assembly process, the chamfer plays a guiding role, reduces the assembly difficulty, and improves the assembly efficiency.

[0083] like Figure 22 to Figure 27As shown, in the second embodiment, the cooking appliance further includes: a push member 40, which is movably arranged on the surface cover 121, and the abutting portion 32 can abut the pressure-limiting valve 20 through the push member 40. Specifically, the user moves the toggle member 30 with a finger, and as the toggle member 30 rotates, the toggle member 30 can push the push member 40 to move the push member 40 in a predetermined direction. When the push member 40 moves to contact the pressure-limiting valve 20, the toggle member 30 is continued to be toggled, and the push member 40 can apply a force in a predetermined direction to the pressure-limiting valve 20 so that the pressure-limiting valve 20 can be effectively pushed away from the exhaust passage 1. The above structure can reduce the force of the user to toggle the toggle member 30, thereby improving the user's experience.

[0084] It should be noted that in the second embodiment, when exhaust is not required, the toggle member 30 does not cooperate with the pressure limiting valve 20 to abut against it, and the pressure limiting valve 20 blocks the exhaust passage 1 to achieve the normal pressure-up function. When exhaust is required, the user can toggle the toggle member 30 with a finger, and the toggle member 30 does not directly abut against the pressure limiting valve 20, but indirectly transmits force through a push member 40 to achieve an effect similar to the abutment between the two, and finally the pressure limiting valve 20 is tilted under the push of the push member 40, thereby achieving the purpose of opening the exhaust passage 1 to exhaust steam. Of course, in other embodiments not shown in the figure, the toggle member 30 can also directly abut against the pressure limiting valve 20.

[0085] like Figure 22 to Figure 27 As shown, in the second embodiment, the push member 40 includes a second main body 41, and the push member 40 also includes a push rod 44 provided on a side of the second main body 41 close to the pressure limiting valve 20, and the push rod 44 can cooperate with the pressure limiting valve 20. The above structure is simple and easy to process. Preferably, in the second embodiment, the push rod 44 is pressed against the lower part of the side wall of the pressure limiting valve 20, and the above structure makes it easy for the pressure limiting valve 20 to be tilted, thereby achieving exhaust.

[0086] Since the positions where the toggle member 30 contacts the push member 40 are different when the toggle member 30 rotates, in order to enable the toggle member 30 to smoothly push the push member 40, as shown in FIG. Figure 23 to Figure 25 and Fig. 27 As shown, in the second embodiment, the push member 40 further includes a force-bearing portion 42 disposed on the side of the second main body 41 away from the pressure-limiting valve 20, and the force-bearing portion 42 can cooperate with the abutting portion 32. The above structure allows the overall size of the push member 40 to be smaller, and only the force-bearing portion 42 with a sufficient contact area needs to be provided, thus facilitating a miniaturized design.

[0087] like Figure 23 to Figure 25 and Fig. 27 As shown, in the second embodiment, the force-bearing portion 42 includes a matching plate 421 which is set at an angle to the moving direction of the pushing member 40, and the abutting top portion 32 is a shifting block. When the shifting member 30 is in the initial position, the abutting surface of the shifting block fits with the matching surface of the matching plate 421.

[0088] like Fig.26 As shown, in the second embodiment, a limiting structure 70 is provided on the surface cover 121 , and the limiting structure 70 cooperates with the pushing member 40 to enable the pushing member 40 to move along a predetermined direction.

[0089] like Figure 23 to Figure 26 As shown, in the second embodiment, the limiting structure 70 includes two hooks 124 located on the lower surface of the cover 121 and arranged opposite to each other, the hook 124 includes a hook body 123 and a hook portion 125 arranged on the hook body 123, the two hook bodies 123 are located on both sides of the push member 40 in the horizontal direction, and the upper surfaces of the two hook portions 125 and the lower surface of the cover 121 are located on the upper and lower sides of the push member 40. The above structure is simple and easy to process and assemble.

[0090] like Figure 23 to Figure 26 As shown, in the second embodiment, a resisting structure 126 that resists against the push member 40 is provided on the lower surface of the face cover 121, and the resisting structure 126 is arranged at intervals with the limiting structure 70 in a predetermined direction. The above structure can prevent the push member 40 from swinging in the vertical plane. Preferably, in the second embodiment, the resisting structure 126 includes a first resisting rib structure 1261 and a second resisting rib structure 1262 respectively located on both sides of the buckle in a predetermined direction, and when the end of the push member 40 close to the pressure limiting valve 20 has a tendency to swing upward, the second resisting rib structure 1262 can apply a downward resisting force to the push member 40 to prevent the end of the push member 40 close to the pressure limiting valve 20 from swinging upward. Similarly, when the end of the push member 40 away from the pressure limiting valve 20 has a tendency to swing upward, the first resisting rib structure 1261 can apply a downward resisting force to the push member 40 to prevent the end of the push member 40 away from the pressure limiting valve 20 from swinging upward.

[0091] like Fig.24 , Fig.25 and Fig. 27 As shown, in the second embodiment, the second main body portion 41 includes a top wall 412, and an elastic reset structure 50 is arranged between the top wall 412 and the second top rib structure 1262. When the user no longer applies force to the toggle member 30, the elastic reset structure 50 can push the push member 40 back to its original position under the action of its elastic restoring force, and the push member 40 then pushes the toggle member 30 back to its initial position. The above structure is simple, convenient for users to use, and can improve the user experience. It should be noted that in the second embodiment, the second top rib structure 1262 not only plays the role of resisting the push member 40 and preventing the push member 40 from swinging in the vertical plane, but also plays the role of stopping the elastic reset structure 50. One component has multiple uses, thereby reducing production costs.

[0092] like Fig.24 and Fig.25As shown, in embodiment 2, the cooking utensil further includes: a handle 13, which is arranged on the pot cover 12, and a recess for accommodating the pressure limiting valve 20 is provided on the handle 13, and a second avoidance hole 138 is provided on the side wall of the recess, and at least a part of the push member 40 can pass through the second avoidance hole 138 into the recess to cooperate with the pressure limiting valve 20.

[0093] like Fig.21 , Fig.24 and Fig.25 As shown, in the second embodiment, the cover 121 is provided with a third avoidance hole 127 for avoiding the toggle member 30, and a waterproof rib 129 is provided on the circumferential outer side of the third avoidance hole 127. The above structure can prevent water on the cover 121 from entering the inside of the cover 121 through the third avoidance hole 127, thereby ensuring the service life of the cooking utensil.

[0094] 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.
