Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of cooking appliance technology, specifically to pot body devices and cooking appliances. Background Technology

[0002] Electric rice cookers and electric pressure cookers, among other cooking appliances, typically have an outer pot. This outer pot houses the inner pot and keeps it warm. During assembly, the outer pot is usually connected to the outer shell of the cooking appliance by rotating it. After rotation, the positioning ribs on the outer pot bend and engage with the limiting structure on the support ring in the outer shell, thus securing the outer pot to the outer shell.

[0003] However, the above installation method is relatively complicated and has low production efficiency, resulting in high manufacturing costs for cooking utensils. Furthermore, the positioning clips need to be bent frequently during disassembly and assembly, which reduces their service life and can easily lead to safety hazards. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In view of this, the present invention provides a pot body device and cooking utensil to solve the problems of complicated installation method, low production efficiency and easy reduction of the service life of positioning clips during disassembly and assembly.

[0005] In a first aspect, the present invention provides a pot body device, comprising:

[0006] The outer pot is equipped with an assembly section;

[0007] A support ring is provided with a support surface. The support ring is sleeved on the outer periphery of the outer pot, and the assembly part is provided on the support surface.

[0008] The first fastener is fixedly connected to the support ring and is located on the outer periphery of the assembly part;

[0009] The second fastener is detachably connected to the first fastener and is fixedly engaged with the outer pot.

[0010] Beneficial effects: Through the cooperation between the assembly part and the support surface, the detachable connection between the second fixing part and the first fixing part, and the fixed engagement of the second fixing part with the outer pot after connection, the outer pot is firmly fixed on the support ring. Furthermore, the first and second fixing parts have simple structures, facilitating production. Simultaneously, since the second fixing part is a separate component, there is no need to rotate or bend the outer pot during assembly. Only after the outer pot is fitted with the support ring and the assembly part is assembled with the support surface, the second fixing part is connected to the first fixing part, allowing for a fixed engagement with the outer pot and ensuring its secure fixation on the support ring. This simplifies the installation of the outer pot, increases production efficiency, and reduces the manufacturing cost of the cooking appliance. During assembly and disassembly, frequent bending of any structure will not reduce its lifespan. Even if the second fixing part is damaged during assembly and disassembly, it is easy to replace due to its separate component.

[0011] In one alternative embodiment, the first fastener has a fixing hole; the second fastener is detachably inserted into the fixing hole and abuts against the outer periphery of the outer pot.

[0012] Beneficial effects: The second fastener can be detachably inserted into the fixing hole and abuts against the outer periphery of the outer pot. The second fastener can be installed by pressing it from the side of the first fastener away from the outer pot, thus realizing the assembly of the second fastener in one step. This further simplifies the installation method between the outer pot and the support ring, improves production efficiency, and can more firmly fix and limit the outer pot in the radial direction.

[0013] In one alternative embodiment, the second fastener engages with the outer pot in a limiting manner in the axial direction of the outer pot.

[0014] Beneficial effects: The outer pot is limited in the axial direction, further limiting and fixing the outer pot and the support ring, thereby enhancing the connection stability between the outer pot and the support ring.

[0015] In one alternative embodiment, the pot body device further includes a limiting part disposed between the assembly part and the second fixing member, and limitingly engaging with the second fixing member in the axial direction of the outer pot.

[0016] Beneficial effects: By setting the limiting part, the outer pot and the support ring can be further limited and fixed in the axial direction of the outer pot through the limiting cooperation with the second fixing part, thereby further enhancing the connection stability between the outer pot and the support ring.

[0017] In one alternative embodiment, one end of the limiting portion is fixedly connected to the assembly portion, and the other end abuts against the second fixing member.

[0018] Beneficial effects: The limiting part is fixedly connected to the assembly part, which can not only increase the support stability of the limiting part when supporting the second fastener and ensure the effect of stable support, but also enhance the strength of the assembly part.

[0019] In one alternative embodiment, the limiting portion abuts against the side of the first fixing member facing the outer pot.

[0020] Beneficial effects: The limiting part abuts against the side of the first fixing member facing the outer pot, which can enhance the limiting and fixing effect in the radial direction and strengthen the connection between the outer pot and the support ring.

[0021] In one alternative embodiment, the mounting portion is a mounting flange protruding from the outer periphery of the outer pot.

[0022] Beneficial effects: The assembly flange can achieve better strength in the circumferential direction, ensuring a better and more stable assembly effect.

[0023] In one alternative embodiment, the limiting portion is a support flange protruding from the assembly portion.

[0024] Beneficial effects: The support flanges can achieve better strength in the circumferential direction, ensuring better and more stable support.

[0025] In one optional embodiment, the second fastener includes a first abutting surface and a second abutting surface disposed opposite to each other; after the second fastener is connected to the fixing hole, the first abutting surface abuts against the outer periphery of the outer pot, and the second abutting surface abuts against the side of the first fastener facing the outer pot.

[0026] Beneficial effects: The second fastener abuts against the outer periphery of the outer pot through the first abutting surface and against the side of the first fastener facing the outer pot through the second abutting surface, which can further ensure the limiting and fixing effect of the second fastener between the outer pot and the support ring in the radial direction, and ensure that the outer pot can be firmly fixed on the support ring.

[0027] In one alternative embodiment, the second fastener includes:

[0028] A fixed column, one end of which is provided with the first abutment surface;

[0029] The buckle has one end connected to the side of the fixed post, and the other end spaced apart from the side of the fixed post, and is provided with the second abutment surface.

[0030] Beneficial effects: One end of the buckle is connected to the side of the fixing post, which allows the buckle to have a certain elastic movement space relative to the fixing post, making it easy to achieve a detachable connection between the second fixing member and the first fixing member.

[0031] In one alternative implementation, the latch includes:

[0032] The guide section is connected at one end to the side of the fixed post, and the distance between the guide section and the fixed post gradually increases in the direction away from the first contact surface;

[0033] The abutting section has one end connected to the other end of the guide section, and the other end is spaced apart from the side of the fixed column, and is provided with the second abutting surface.

[0034] Beneficial effects: The guide section facilitates the insertion of the second fastener into the fixing hole. During the insertion process, the fixing hole applies a pressing force to the buckle through the guide section, causing the buckle to deform, which facilitates the connection between the second fastener and the first fastener. The abutment section facilitates the abutment between the second abutment surface and the first fastener.

[0035] In one optional embodiment, either the support ring or the assembly part is provided with a positioning hole, and the other part is provided with a positioning post, the positioning post being positioned and inserted into the positioning hole.

[0036] Beneficial effects: By using the positioning holes and positioning pins for positioning, the support ring and the outer pot can be positioned during the connection process. After connection, the support ring and the outer pot can be limited and fixed in the circumferential direction, further ensuring the connection effect and stability of the outer pot.

[0037] In one optional embodiment, at least two first fasteners are provided, and the at least two first fasteners are distributed at circumferential intervals along the support ring, and the number of second fasteners corresponds to the number of first fasteners.

[0038] Secondly, the present invention also provides a cooking appliance, including the pot body device described above.

[0039] In one alternative implementation, the cooking appliance is a rice cooker. Attached Figure Description

[0058] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0059] In the description of this invention, it should be noted that the terms "upper," "lower," "inner," and "outer," etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are used only for the convenience of describing the invention and for simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on the invention. Furthermore, the terms "first," "second," and "third" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0060] In the description of this invention, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "connected" and "linked" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this invention based on the specific circumstances.

[0061] Electric rice cookers and pressure cookers typically have an outer pot that houses the inner pot and keeps it warm. During assembly, the outer pot is usually connected to the outer shell of the cooker by rotating it. After rotation, the positioning ribs on the outer pot bend and engage with the limiting structure on the support ring in the outer shell, thus securing the outer pot to the cooker. The bending of the positioning ribs on the outer pot and their engagement with the locking structure of the support ring require careful consideration of the installation direction to ensure alignment with the limiting structure after rotation, making it difficult to secure during rotation. Furthermore, the outer pot is made of sheet metal and lacks elasticity, making flexible adjustment impossible.

[0062] However, the above installation method is relatively complicated and has low production efficiency, resulting in high manufacturing costs for cooking utensils. Furthermore, the positioning clips need to be bent frequently during disassembly and assembly, which reduces their service life and can easily lead to safety hazards.

[0063] The following is combined with Figures 1 to 11 The following describes embodiments of the present invention.

[0064] According to an embodiment of the present invention, a pot body device is provided, including an outer pot 1, a support ring 2, a first fixing member 3, and a second fixing member 4; the outer pot 1 is provided with an assembly part 11; the support ring 2 is provided with a support surface 21, the support ring 2 is sleeved on the outer periphery of the outer pot 1, and the assembly part 11 is disposed on the support surface 21; the first fixing member 3 is fixedly connected to the support ring 2 and is located on the outer periphery of the assembly part 11; the second fixing member 4 is detachably connected to the first fixing member 3 and is fixedly engaged with the outer pot 1.

[0065] Through the cooperation of the assembly part 11 and the support surface 21, the detachable connection between the second fixing part 4 and the first fixing part 3, and the fixed engagement of the second fixing part 4 with the outer pot 1 after connection, the outer pot 1 is firmly fixed on the support ring 2. Furthermore, the first fixing part 3 and the second fixing part 4 have simple structures and are easy to manufacture. At the same time, since the second fixing part 4 is a separate part, there is no need to rotate the outer pot 1 or bend the structure set on the outer pot 1 during the assembly process. It is only necessary to assemble the outer pot 1 with the support ring 2 and assemble the assembly part 11 with the support surface 21, and then connect the second fixing part 4 with the first fixing part 3 so that the second fixing part 4 can be fixedly engaged with the outer pot 1, ensuring that the outer pot 1 can be firmly fixed on the support ring 2. This makes the installation method of the outer pot 1 simpler, improves production efficiency, and reduces the manufacturing cost of cooking utensils. During the disassembly and assembly process, the service life of a structure will not be reduced due to frequent bending of a certain structure. Even if the second fixing part 4 is damaged during the disassembly and assembly process, it is easy to replace because the second fixing part 4 is a separate part.

[0066] In one embodiment, the first fixing member 3 is provided with a fixing hole 31; the second fixing member 4 is detachably inserted into the fixing hole 31 and abuts against the outer periphery of the outer pot 1.

[0067] The second fixing member 4 is detachably inserted into the fixing hole 31 and abuts against the outer periphery of the outer pot 1. The second fixing member 4 is installed by pressing it from the side of the first fixing member 3 away from the outer pot 1, thus realizing the assembly of the second fixing member 4 in one step. This further simplifies the installation method between the outer pot 1 and the support ring 2, improves production efficiency, and can more firmly fix and limit the outer pot 1 in the radial direction.

[0068] As an alternative implementation, the second fixing member 4 can be detachably connected between the first fixing member 3 and the outer periphery of the outer pot 1. Preferably, a limiting groove or limiting hole for limiting the second fixing member 4 can be provided on the first fixing member 3.

[0069] As an alternative implementation, the first fixing member 3 may be provided with a threaded hole, the second fixing member 4 may be threadedly connected to the threaded hole, and the second fixing member 4 may be engaged with the outer periphery of the outer pot 1 to facilitate disassembly and installation.

[0070] As an alternative implementation, the outer pot 1 may have a protruding snap-fit ​​groove on its outer periphery, and the second fixing member 4 may be detachably inserted into the fixing hole 31 and snap-fitted into the snap-fit ​​groove.

[0071] In one embodiment, the second fixing member 4 is engaged with the outer pot 1 in the axial direction of the outer pot 1.

[0072] The outer pot 1 is limited in the axial direction, and the outer pot 1 and the support ring 2 are further limited and fixed, thereby further enhancing the connection stability between the outer pot 1 and the support ring 2.

[0073] In one embodiment, the pot body device further includes a limiting part 5, which is disposed between the assembly part 11 and the second fixing member 4, and is limited and cooperates with the second fixing member 4 in the axial direction of the outer pot 1.

[0074] By setting the limiting part 5, the outer pot 1 and the support ring 2 can be further limited and fixed in the axial direction of the outer pot 1 through the limiting cooperation with the second fixing part 4, thereby further enhancing the connection stability between the outer pot 1 and the support ring 2.

[0075] As an alternative implementation, the fixing hole 31 can be provided on the first fixing member 3 at one end near the support ring 2. After the first fixing member 3 is detachably connected to the fixing hole 31, it can be limited and engaged with the assembly part 11, thereby limiting and fixing the connection between the outer pot 1 and the support ring 2 in the axial direction of the outer pot 1.

[0076] In one embodiment, one end of the limiting part 5 is fixedly connected to the assembly part 11, and the other end abuts against the second fixing member 4.

[0077] The limiting part 5 is fixedly connected to the assembly part 11, which can not only increase the support stability of the limiting part 5 when supporting the second fixing member 4 and ensure the effect of stable support, but also enhance the strength of the assembly part 11.

[0078] In one specific embodiment, the assembly part 11 is integrally formed on the outer pot 1, and the limiting part 5 is integrally formed on the assembly part 11.

[0079] In another specific embodiment, the assembly part 11 is integrally formed on the outer pot 1, or is fixedly connected to the outer pot 1 by welding or other means. The limiting part 5 can be fixedly connected to the assembly part 11 by welding or other means, or can be detachably fixedly connected to the assembly part 11 by a fastening structure.

[0080] As an alternative implementation, the limiting part 5 may be fixedly connected to the outer periphery of the outer pot 1 and abut against the second fixing member 4. Preferably, there may be two limiting parts 5 spaced apart circumferentially, and the second fixing member 4 may be disposed between the two spaced-apart limiting parts 5.

[0081] In one embodiment, the limiting part 5 abuts against the side of the first fixing member 3 facing the outer pot 1.

[0082] The limiting part 5 abuts against the side of the first fixing member 3 facing the outer pot 1, which can enhance the limiting and fixing effect in the radial direction and strengthen the connection between the outer pot 1 and the support ring 2.

[0083] In one embodiment, the assembly part 11 is an assembly flange protruding from the outer periphery of the outer pot 1.

[0084] Assembly flanges can achieve better strength in the circumferential direction, ensuring a better and more stable assembly effect.

[0085] As an alternative implementation, the assembly part 11 may include at least two assembly plates protruding from the outer periphery of the outer pot 1, the at least two assembly plates being distributed at intervals along the circumference of the outer pot 1; each assembly plate being disposed corresponding to at least one first fixing member 3.

[0086] In one embodiment, the limiting part 5 is a support flange protruding from the assembly part 11.

[0087] The support flanges can all achieve better strength in the circumferential direction, ensuring a better and more stable support effect.

[0088] As an alternative implementation, the limiting part 5 may include at least two limiting plates protruding from the assembly part 11, with the at least two limiting plates distributed at intervals along the circumference of the outer pot 1; each limiting plate may be corresponding to at least one second fixing member 4.

[0089] In one embodiment, the second fixing member 4 includes a first abutting surface 41 and a second abutting surface 42 disposed opposite to each other; after the second fixing member 4 is connected to the fixing hole 31, the first abutting surface 41 abuts against the outer periphery of the outer pot 1, and the second abutting surface 42 abuts against the side of the first fixing member 3 facing the outer pot 1.

[0090] The second fixing member 4 abuts against the outer periphery of the outer pot 1 through the first abutting surface 41 and abuts against the side of the first fixing member 3 facing the outer pot 1 through the second abutting surface 42. This can further ensure the limiting and fixing effect of the second fixing member 4 between the outer pot 1 and the support ring 2 in the radial direction, and ensure that the outer pot 1 can be firmly fixed on the support ring 2.

[0091] In one embodiment, the second fastener 4 includes a fixing post 43 and a buckle 44; one end of the fixing post 43 is provided with the first abutting surface 41; one end of the buckle 44 is connected to the side of the fixing post 43, and the other end is spaced apart from the side of the fixing post 43 and is provided with the second abutting surface 42.

[0092] One end of the buckle 44 is connected to the side of the fixing post 43, so that the buckle 44 has a certain elastic movement space relative to the fixing post 43, which facilitates the detachable connection between the second fixing member 4 and the first fixing member 3.

[0093] When the second fastener 4 needs to be assembled, a pressing force is applied to the buckle 44 to cause a certain elastic deformation, so that the second fastener 4 can be easily inserted into the fixing hole 31. After insertion, the buckle 44, which is away from the fixing hole 31, is no longer subjected to the pressing force and returns to its original position. The second abutting surface 42 abuts against the side of the first fastener 3 facing the outer pot 1, and the first abutting surface 41 abuts against the outer periphery of the outer pot 1.

[0094] When it is necessary to remove the second fastener 4, simply apply pressure to the buckle 44 again to cause it to undergo a certain elastic deformation, and the second fastener 4 can be easily removed from the fixing hole 31.

[0095] In a preferred embodiment, there are two buckles 44, which are arranged opposite to each other on both sides of the fixing post 43.

[0096] In a specific embodiment, after the second fixing member 4 is inserted into the fixing hole 31, the end of the second fixing member 4 away from the first abutting surface 41 protrudes from the side of the first fixing member 3 facing away from the outer pot 1, so as to facilitate the disassembly of the second fixing member 4.

[0097] In one embodiment, the buckle 44 includes a guide section 441 and an abutment section 442. One end of the guide section 441 is connected to the side of the fixing post 43, and the distance between the guide section 441 and the fixing post 43 gradually increases in the direction away from the first abutment surface 41. One end of the abutment section 442 is connected to the other end of the guide section 441, and the other end is spaced apart from the side of the fixing post 43, and is provided with the second abutment surface 42.

[0098] The guide section 441 facilitates the insertion of the second fastener 4 into the fixing hole 31. During the insertion process, the fixing hole 31 applies a pressing force to the buckle 44 through the guide section 441, causing the buckle 44 to deform, thus facilitating the connection between the second fastener 4 and the first fastener 3. The abutment section 442 facilitates the abutment between the second abutment surface 42 and the first fastener 3.

[0099] In one embodiment, either the support ring 2 or the assembly part 11 is provided with a positioning hole 12, and the other is provided with a positioning post 22, which is positioned and inserted into the positioning hole 12.

[0100] The positioning hole 12 and the positioning post 22 are used to position the support ring 2 and the outer pot 1 during the connection process. After the connection, the support ring 2 and the outer pot 1 are limited and fixed in the circumferential direction, which further ensures the connection effect and stability of the outer pot 1.

[0101] In one specific embodiment, the support ring 2 is provided with a positioning post 22, and the assembly part 11 is provided with a positioning hole 12.

[0102] In another specific embodiment, the support ring 2 is provided with a positioning hole 12, and the assembly part 11 is provided with a positioning post 22.

[0103] In a further embodiment, there are at least two positioning holes 12, and the at least two positioning holes 12 are spaced apart on the support ring 2 or the assembly part 11. The number and position of the positioning pins 22 correspond one-to-one with the positioning holes 12.

[0104] In a preferred embodiment, there are two positioning holes 12, which are evenly distributed on the assembly part 11.

[0105] In one embodiment, at least two first fasteners 3 are provided, and the at least two first fasteners 3 are distributed at circumferential intervals along the support ring 2, and the number of second fasteners 4 corresponds to the number of first fasteners 3.

[0106] At least two first fasteners 3 are distributed at circumferential intervals along the support ring 2, which can have a relatively even fixing effect in the circumferential direction.

[0107] In a further embodiment, at least two first fasteners 3 are evenly distributed along the circumference of the support ring 2.

[0108] In a preferred embodiment of this embodiment, there are four first fixing members 3, which are evenly distributed along the circumference of the support ring 2.

[0109] In specific embodiments, the pot body device typically includes an outer shell and an inner pot, with a support ring 2 connected to the top of the outer shell and the inner pot disposed in the outer pot 1.

[0110] According to an embodiment of the present invention, another aspect provides a cooking utensil, including the pot body device described above. The pot body device includes an outer pot 1, a support ring 2, a first fixing member 3, and a second fixing member 4. The outer pot 1 is provided with an assembly part 11. The support ring 2 is provided with a support surface 21, and the support ring 2 is sleeved on the outer periphery of the outer pot 1. The assembly part 11 is assembled on the support surface 21. The first fixing member 3 is fixedly connected to the support ring 2 and is located on the outer periphery of the assembly part 11. The second fixing member 4 is detachably connected to the second fixing member 4 and is fixedly engaged with the outer pot 1.

[0111] Through the cooperation of the assembly part 11 and the support surface 21, the detachable connection between the second fixing part 4 and the first fixing part 3, and the fixed engagement of the second fixing part 4 with the outer pot 1 after connection, the outer pot 1 is firmly fixed on the support ring 2. Furthermore, the first fixing part 3 and the second fixing part 4 have simple structures and are easy to manufacture. At the same time, since the second fixing part 4 is a separate part, there is no need to rotate the outer pot 1 or bend the structure set on the outer pot 1 during the assembly process. It is only necessary to assemble the outer pot 1 with the support ring 2 and assemble the assembly part 11 with the support surface 21, and then connect the second fixing part 4 with the first fixing part 3 so that the second fixing part 4 can be fixedly engaged with the outer pot 1, ensuring that the outer pot 1 can be firmly fixed on the support ring 2. This makes the installation method of the outer pot 1 simpler, improves production efficiency, and reduces the manufacturing cost of cooking utensils. During the disassembly and assembly process, the service life of a structure will not be reduced due to frequent bending of a certain structure. Even if the second fixing part 4 is damaged during the disassembly and assembly process, it is easy to replace because the second fixing part 4 is a separate part.

[0112] In a specific embodiment, the cooking appliance also includes a lid, which is detachably connected to the pot body assembly. Alternatively, one end of the lid is hinged to one end of the pot body assembly, and the other end is detachably connected to the other end of the pot body assembly.

[0113] In one embodiment, the cooking appliance is a rice cooker.

[0114] Alternatively, the cooking appliance is an electric pressure cooker or an electric hot pot, etc.

[0115] Although embodiments of the invention have been described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, those skilled in the art can make various modifications and variations without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention, and such modifications and variations all fall within the scope defined by this application.
