Detailed implementation manners

[0025] Here, the exemplary embodiments will be described in detail, and the examples are shown in the drawings. When the following description refers to the drawings, unless otherwise indicated, the same numbers in different drawings represent the same or similar elements. The embodiments described in the following exemplary embodiments do not represent all the embodiments consistent with the present application. On the contrary, they are merely examples of devices, systems, devices, and methods consistent with some aspects of the present application as detailed in the appended claims.

[0026] Referring to Figure 1 and Figure 2 as shown, the cooking appliance of the present application includes a pot body (not shown) and a lid covering the pot body. Similar to the conventional lid structure, the lid includes a stainless-steel inner lid 1, a face cover 2, and a lining cover 3 located between the inner lid 1 and the face cover 2. A cooking cavity 10 is formed between the inner lid 1 and the inner pot (not numbered) of the pot body. The improvement of the present application lies in that: the lid is further provided with an anti-overflow lid 4 on the bottom side of its inner lid 1 for preventing the food liquid in the cooking cavity 10 from overflowing.

[0027] Referring to Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, an exhaust pipe 11, a pressure limiting valve 12, a pressure limiting valve seat 13, an anti-blocking cover 14 and a seal 15 are installed on the inner pot lid 1. The pressure limiting valve seat 13 is fixed on the wall surface of the inner pot lid 1. The exhaust pipe 11 penetrates downward through the pressure limiting valve seat 13 and the inner pot lid 1 and exposes its bottom on the bottom side of the inner pot lid 1. The anti-blocking cover 14 is fixed to the end of the exhaust pipe 11 from the bottom side of the inner pot lid 1. The seal 15 is arranged between the pressure limiting valve seat 13 and the inner pot lid 1. The pressure limiting valve 12 is placed in the pressure limiting valve seat 13, covers the exhaust pipe 11 and blocks the exhaust hole (not shown) at the top of the exhaust pipe 11. During use, the pressure limiting valve 12 is intermittently moved away by the cooking program to open the exhaust hole (not shown) at the top of the exhaust pipe 11, so that the exhaust pipe 11 exhausts to the outside. The anti-overflow cover 4 is detachably arranged on the bottom side of the inner pot lid 1, Figure 3 and Figure 4 only the inner pot lid 1 and these structures assembled to the inner pot lid 1 are shown, and other structures irrelevant to the improvement of this application are omitted. The anti-overflow cover 4 is provided with a bottom wall 41 and a side peripheral wall 42 extending upward from the periphery of the bottom wall 41.

[0028] Refer to Figure 5 As shown, the anti-overflow cover 4 further includes a rib 43 protruding upward from the bottom wall 41. The rib 43 is continuously arranged and encloses a curved and circuitous intake channel 44. The inner pot lid 1 seals the top of the intake channel 44 from the top side. The intake channel 44 includes opposite first end 441 and second end 442. An air inlet 45 is provided at the first end 441, and the second end 442 communicates with the exhaust pipe 11. When the pressure limiting valve 12 opens the exhaust hole (not shown) at the top of the exhaust pipe 11, the steam in the cooking cavity 10 enters the intake channel 44 from the air inlet 45, and then enters the exhaust pipe 11 along the intake channel 44 and is discharged out of the cooking appliance. The intake channel 44 of the anti-overflow cover 4 is arranged in a curved and circuitous manner, which can lengthen the length of the intake path, slow down the exhaust speed and avoid the overflow of food liquid; and the anti-overflow cover 4 is detachably arranged on the bottom side of the inner pot lid 1, and can be conveniently disassembled and cleaned after cooking.

[0029] Combined with Figure 6 As shown, Figure 6 For Figure 3The sectional view shows that the bottom wall 41 of the inner pot lid 1 is inclined. Specifically, the first end 441 is located at the lower position of the bottom wall 41, and the second end 442 is located at the higher position of the bottom wall 41. The inclination angle of the bottom wall 41 is a, where 1° ≤ a ≤ 15°. a ≥ 1° ensures that the slope is not too gentle, and a ≤ 15° prevents the slope from being too steep and blocking the gas, affecting the intake air volume. Preferably, the value of a is 5°. During exhaust, the steam enters the exhaust pipe 11 upward, and the food residues need to overcome gravity and move along the intake passage 44. When the pressure limiting valve 12 closes the exhaust hole (not shown) at the top of the exhaust pipe 11, the food and liquid remaining in the intake passage 44 flow back into the cooking cavity 10 under the influence of gravity, making it less likely to overflow during the next exhaust. Repeating this process can extend the single opening duration of the pressure limiting valve 12 and achieve the effect of rapid exhaust and lid opening.

[0030] The air inlet 45 is provided on the side peripheral wall 42 and can be arranged close to the bottom wall 41. Since the food is driven upward by the steam and sprayed, setting the air inlet 45 on the side peripheral wall 42 instead of the bottom wall 41 can prevent the food from easily entering the intake passage 44 and blocking the air inlet 45.

[0031] Reference Figure 5 As shown, the pot lid further includes a sealing ring 5, which can be made of rubber or silica gel. The sealing ring 5 is arranged between the inner pot lid 1 and the anti-overflow lid 4. Specifically, the sealing ring 5 is clamped between the top of the rib 43 and the inner pot lid 1 to seal the top of the intake passage 44 and ensure the airtightness of the intake passage 44.

[0032] In this embodiment, the shape of the sealing ring 5 is consistent with the contour line of the intake passage 44, which has a simple structure and comprehensively seals the edge of the intake passage 44. The top of the rib 43 is provided with a positioning groove 46. During assembly, the sealing ring 5 is first placed in the positioning groove 46, and then the anti-overflow lid 4 is fixed to the bottom side of the inner pot lid 1, which is convenient for assembly. In this embodiment, the rib 43 is connected to the side peripheral wall 42 near its first end 441 and second end 442, which can extend the length of the intake passage 44. The top end surface of the rib 43 is coplanar with the side peripheral wall 42 to ensure that the sealing ring 5 is compressed between the rib 43 and the inner pot lid 1.

[0033] Combined with Figure 7 As shown, the intake passage 44 includes a Z-shaped connecting portion 443 between the first end 441 and the second end 442. As a simple replacement, this connecting portion 443 can also be a circuitous structure with multiple bending points such as an S shape, an M shape, or a continuous wavy shape to lengthen the length of the intake passage 44, reduce the exhaust speed, and prevent the liquid in the cooking cavity 10 from overflowing.

[0034] The intake passage 44 forms a cavity 444 at the second end 442. The bottom of the exhaust pipe 11 is located within the cavity 444. The cavity 444 is generally circular and has a diameter greater than the width of other parts of the intake passage 44. This cavity 444 can further buffer the gas, reduce the discharge speed of the gas, and prevent the liquid in the cooking chamber 10 from overflowing.

[0035] A plurality of mounting portions 47 are provided on the outer periphery of the side wall 42 of the anti-overflow cover 4. Each mounting portion 47 is provided with a through hole 48. The screw passes through the through hole 48 of the mounting portion 47 and is fixed to the inner pot lid 1, thereby detachably fixing the anti-overflow cover 4 to the bottom side of the inner pot lid 1. It can be understood that the anti-overflow cover 4 can also be fixed by other common detachable means, such as snap fixation.

[0036] The pot lid of the cooking appliance of the present application has a detachable and easy-to-clean anti-overflow cover 4. The intake passage 44 of the anti-overflow cover 4 is arranged circuitously to prevent food liquid from overflowing.
