Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application belongs to the field of technical kitchen appliances, and specifically relates to a pot cover assembly and a cooking utensil. Background Art

[0002] The cooking utensil includes a pot body with a accommodating cavity and a pot cover. The pot body includes an outer shell, a water collecting ring arranged on the top of the outer shell and an inner pot. The water collecting ring and the outer shell together form a accommodating cavity for accommodating the inner pot. The pot cover is generally connected to the pot body by a hinged manner, so that the pot cover has a closed state for sealing the edge of the inner pot and an open state for separating the pot cover from the edge of the inner pot.

[0003] In order to increase the stability of the pot lid in the closed state, a buckle is usually provided on the water collecting ring and a lever is provided on the pot lid. The lever is rotatably connected to the pot lid, and the lever has a pressure end located on the side of its own rotation axis close to the center of the pot lid and a clamping end located on the side of its own rotation axis away from the center of the pot lid. The clamping end can be engaged with the buckle to increase the stability of the pot lid in the closed state.

[0004] As the cooking utensil is used for a long time, the water collecting ring will shrink, causing the buckle to move toward the center of the pot body, thereby causing the engaging position of the lever and the buckle to move toward the side close to the center of the pot body, so that the projection of the distance from the rotation axis of the lever to the engaging position in the vertical direction will continue to increase, thereby causing the gap between the pot lid and the pot body to gradually increase, affecting the sealing of the cooking cavity and the appearance quality of the cooking utensil. Utility Model Content

[0005] The present application provides a pot cover assembly and a cooking utensil to improve the sealing performance of a cooking cavity and the appearance quality of the cooking utensil.

[0006] The technical solution adopted in this application is:

[0007] A pot cover assembly, comprising a surface cover, a lining cover and a transmission member, wherein the surface cover is provided with an operation button, the transmission member comprises a transmission part, a clamping part and a connecting part located between the transmission part and the clamping part and used for rotationally connecting with the lining cover, the operation button cooperates with the transmission part to drive the transmission member to rotate around the connecting part, the clamping part is used for clamping and fixing with a pot body, and the clamping part is arranged in a vertical direction in line with the connecting part;

[0008] Alternatively, at least a partial area of ​​the clamping portion is located on a side of the connecting portion close to the center of the lining cover.

[0009] The pot cover assembly described in this application also includes the following additional technical features:

[0010] The transmission member further includes a straight wall section extending from the clamping portion to the connecting portion.

[0011] The operation button has a hinged end hinged to the surface cover and a pressure end arranged opposite to the hinged end, and the pressure end acts on the transmission part.

[0012] The pot cover assembly also includes a reset member acting on the operation button. When the operation button rotates toward the transmission part, the reset member elastically deforms and applies a reverse force to the operation button.

[0013] When the clamping part is clamped with the pot body, there is a moving gap between the pressure-applying end and the transmission part;

[0014] Alternatively, a rotation gap is provided between the surface cover and the operation button for allowing the operation button to rotate toward and away from the transmission part.

[0015] The operation button is provided with a pressing portion corresponding to the transmission portion, and a matching transition surface is provided on a side of the pressing portion facing the center of the lining cover.

[0016] The pot cover assembly also includes an elastic member, the transmission part is provided with a mounting channel, and the elastic member is arranged in the mounting channel.

[0017] The clamping portion comprises a matching section and a stopper, the matching section is provided with a clamping channel, and a pressure member is slidably connected in the clamping channel.

[0018] The present application also discloses a cooking utensil, comprising a pot body and the above-mentioned pot cover assembly, wherein the pot cover assembly is hinged to the pot body, and a clamping portion is provided at the edge of the pot body, and the clamping portion can be clamped and cooperated with the clamping portion so that the clamping portion has a locked state of being clamped with the clamping portion and an unlocked state of being separated from the clamping portion.

[0019] The clamping portion has a stopper side matched with the clamping portion, and the stopper side is provided with a guiding arc surface.

[0020] Due to the adoption of the above technical solution, the beneficial effects achieved by this application are as follows:

[0021] 1. The pot cover assembly in the present application includes a surface cover, a lining cover and a transmission member. The surface cover is provided with an operation button. The transmission member includes a transmission part, a clamping part and a connection part located between the transmission part and the clamping part and used for rotationally connecting with the lining cover. The operation button cooperates with the transmission to drive the transmission part to rotate around the connection part. The clamping part is used to clamp and fix with the pot body. The clamping part is arranged in a vertical direction with the connection part in a colinear manner. Then, when the clamping position of the clamping part and the pot body is displaced toward the side close to the center of the lining cover, the projection of the distance from the connection part to the clamping position in the vertical direction will gradually decrease, so that the gap between the pot cover assembly and the pot body is gradually reduced when the pot cover assembly is in a closed state, so as to reduce the risk of air leakage in the cooking cavity after long-term use, thereby improving the sealing of the cooking cavity and the appearance quality of the cooking utensil. At the same time, the sealing of the cooking cavity is improved, which ensures the cooking efficiency and cooking effect of the cooking utensil and improves the user experience. In addition, the possibility of the cooking utensil being unable to continue to be used due to the displacement of the clamping position between the clamping part and the pot body toward the center of the lining cover is reduced, thereby increasing the service life of the cooking utensil, improving the product quality of the cooking utensil, and further improving the user experience.

[0022] Similarly, at least a partial area of ​​the clamping portion is located on a side of the connecting portion close to the center of the lining cover. Similarly, when the clamping position of the clamping portion and the pot body is displaced toward the side close to the center of the lining cover, the projection of the distance from the connecting portion to the clamping position in the vertical direction will gradually decrease, thereby causing the gap between the pot cover assembly and the pot body to gradually decrease when the pot cover assembly is in a closed state, thereby reducing the risk of air leakage in the cooking cavity after long-term use, thereby improving the sealing of the cooking cavity and the appearance quality of the cooking utensil.

[0023] 2. As a preferred embodiment of the present application, the operation button has a hinged end hinged to the cover and a pressure end arranged opposite to the hinged end, and the pressure end acts on the transmission part. It can be understood that when opening the pot cover assembly, the operation button is first pressed to make the pressure end rotate around the hinged end, and then the pressure end applies downward pressure to the transmission part, so that the transmission part rotates around the connection part, and the clamping part rotates toward the side away from the center of the lining cover, so that the clamping part and the pot body are released from the clamping fixation, and then the pot cover assembly is rotated. In this process, the operation button is prevented from being subjected to unbalanced force, resulting in the operation button and the cover being stuck, thereby ensuring the smoothness of the user pressing the operation button, and at the same time ensuring that the clamping part can be normally clamped with the pot body, further improving the user's experience. In addition, the operation button is hinged to the cover, which can also increase the connection stability between the operation button and the cover to reduce the risk of separation of the operation button and the cover.

[0024] 3. As a preferred embodiment of the present application, the pot cover further comprises a reset member acting on the operating button. When the operating button rotates toward the transmission part, the reset member is elastically deformed and applies a reverse force to the operating button. It can be understood that when the user presses the operating button, the operating button applies pressure to the reset member to cause the reset member to elastically deform, thereby causing the pressure end of the operating button to move toward the transmission part and apply pressure to the transmission part to release the clamping part from the pot body. That is to say, when the user presses the operating button, the user needs to overcome the elastic force of the reset member at the same time to increase the pressure. The force required to press the operation button can reduce the sensitivity of the operation button, thereby reducing the risk of the clamping part and the pot body being disengaged when the user wipes the cooking utensil during operation, thereby ensuring the normal operation of the cooking utensil and further improving the user experience; when the user's finger is separated from the operation button, the reset part gradually restores its deformation, and then the operation button automatically moves in the direction away from the transmission part under the action of the reset part, thereby ensuring the clamping force between the clamping part and the pot body, increasing the clamping stability between the clamping part and the pot body, and further ensuring the normal operation of the cooking utensil.

[0025] 4. As a preferred embodiment of the present application, when the clamping part is clamped with the pot body, there is a moving gap between the pressure-applying end and the transmission part, so that when the user presses the operation button, the operation button first moves toward the direction close to the transmission part and contacts the transmission part after eliminating the moving gap, and continues to press the operation button. The operation button applies downward pressure to the transmission part, so that the transmission part rotates around the connecting part, and the clamping part rotates toward the side away from the center of the lining cover to release the clamping part from the pot body. That is to say, in the process of applying pressure to the transmission part, the pressure-applying end needs to eliminate the moving gap first, and then contact the transmission part and apply pressure to the transmission part, thereby increasing the movement stroke of the operation button, further reducing the sensitivity of the operation button, further reducing the risk of accidentally touching the operation button and causing the pot cover assembly to open, and further ensuring the normal operation of the cooking utensil. At the same time, the existence of the moving gap enables the transmission part to automatically adjust the clamping position of the clamping part and the pot body following the contraction of the water collecting ring, so as to increase the sealing of the cooking cavity and the service life of the cooking utensil, and further improve the user experience.

[0026] 5. As a preferred embodiment of the present application, a pressing portion is provided on the operating button corresponding to the transmission portion, and a matching transition surface is provided on the side of the pressing portion facing the center of the lining cover. When the operating button is pressed, the pressing portion contacts the transmission portion and applies downward pressure to the transmission portion, thereby causing the transmission portion to rotate downward around the connecting portion. At the same time, the contact position between the transmission portion and the pressing portion is constantly changing. Since a matching transition surface is provided on the side of the pressing portion facing the center of the lining cover, the side of the pressing portion facing the center of the lining cover is smoother, so that the transmission portion rotates more smoothly, thereby increasing the smoothness of the user's pressing of the operating button, improving the user's hand feel when pressing the operating button, and further improving the user's experience. At the same time, the provision of the matching transition surface increases the contact area between the pressing portion and the transmission portion, thereby reducing the pressure between the transmission portion and the pressing portion, reducing the risk of wear of the pressing portion or the transmission portion, and ensuring the transmission efficiency between the operating press and the transmission member.

[0046] In order to more clearly illustrate the overall concept of the present application, a detailed description is given below in an illustrative manner in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0047] In the following description, many specific details are set forth to facilitate a full understanding of the present application. However, the present application may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein. Therefore, the scope of protection of the present application is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0048] In addition, in the description of the present application, it should be understood that the orientations or positional relationships indicated by the terms "top", "bottom", "inside", "outside", "axial", "radial", "circumferential", etc. are based on the orientations or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing the present application and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be understood as a limitation on the present application.

[0049] In this application, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the terms "installed", "connected", "connected", "fixed" and the like should be understood in a broad sense, for example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection, an electrical connection, or a communication; it can be a direct connection, or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium, it can be the internal connection of two elements or the interaction relationship between two elements. For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in this application can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0050] In the present application, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the first feature "above" or "below" the second feature may be that the first and second features are in direct contact, or the first and second features are in indirect contact through an intermediate medium. In the description of this specification, the description with reference to the terms "implementation method", "example", "one embodiment", "example" or "specific example" means that the specific features, structures, materials or characteristics described in conjunction with the embodiment or example are included in at least one embodiment or example of the present application. In this specification, the schematic representation of the above terms does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment or example. Moreover, the specific features, structures, materials or characteristics described may be combined in an appropriate manner in any one or more embodiments or examples.

[0051] Reference Figures 1 to 7 A pot cover assembly includes a surface cover 1, a lining cover 2 and a transmission member 3. The surface cover 1 is provided with an operation button 11. The transmission member 3 includes a transmission part 31, a clamping part 32 and a connecting part 33 located between the transmission part 31 and the clamping part 32 and used for rotationally connecting with the lining cover 2. The operation button 11 cooperates with the transmission part 31 to drive the transmission member 3 to rotate around the connection. The clamping part 32 is used to clamp and fix with the pot body 4. The clamping part 32 is arranged colinearly with the connecting part 33 in the vertical direction.

[0052] As the use time of the cooking utensil increases, the water collecting ring 42 located at the top of the pot body 4 will shrink, and then the clamping position of the clamping part 32 and the pot body 4 will be displaced toward the side close to the center of the lining cover 2. Since the clamping part 32 is arranged in a vertical direction with the connecting part 33 when leaving the factory, when the clamping position of the clamping part 32 and the pot body 4 is displaced toward the side close to the center of the lining cover 2, the projection of the distance from the connecting part 33 to the clamping position in the vertical direction will gradually decrease, so that the gap between the pot cover assembly and the pot body 4 is gradually reduced when the pot cover assembly is in the closed state, so as to reduce the risk of air leakage in the cooking cavity after long-term use, thereby improving the sealing of the cooking cavity and the appearance quality of the cooking utensil. At the same time, the sealing of the cooking cavity is improved, the cooking efficiency and cooking effect of the cooking utensil are guaranteed, and the user experience is improved. In addition, the possibility that the cooking utensil cannot be used further due to the displacement of the clamping position of the clamping part 32 and the pot body 4 toward the side of the center of the lining cover 2 is reduced, thereby increasing the service life of the cooking utensil, improving the product quality of the cooking utensil, and further improving the user experience.

[0053] In addition, after the water collecting ring 42 shrinks, the clamping position of the clamping portion 32 and the pot body 4 is displaced toward the side close to the center of the lining cover 2, and then the clamping portion 32 will generate a component force toward the side of the center of the lining cover 2, thereby increasing the clamping stability of the clamping portion 32 and the pot body 4, and then increasing the clamping stability of the pot cover assembly and the pot body 4, ensuring the normal operation of the cooking appliance.

[0054] It should be noted that, refer to Figure 2 The clamping portion 32 is arranged in the same line with the connecting portion 33 in the vertical direction, that is, the clamping portion 32 and the connecting portion 33 are arranged along Figure 2 The arrow lines in the figure are arranged up and down.

[0055] In order to reduce the gap between the pot lid assembly and the pot body 4 when the water collecting ring 42 shrinks and increase the sealing of the cooking cavity, in other embodiments, at least a part of the clamping portion 32 is located on the side of the connecting portion 33 close to the center of the lining cover 2. Similarly, when the clamping position of the clamping portion 32 and the pot body 4 is displaced toward the side close to the center of the lining cover 2, the projection of the distance from the connecting portion 33 to the clamping position in the vertical direction will gradually decrease, so that the gap between the pot lid assembly and the pot body 4 will gradually decrease when the pot lid is in the closed state, so as to reduce the risk of air leakage in the cooking cavity after long-term use, thereby improving the sealing of the cooking cavity and the appearance quality of the cooking utensil.

[0056] At the same time, by locating at least a portion of the clamping portion 32 on a side of the connecting portion 33 close to the center of the lining cover 2, when the clamping portion 32 is clamped with the pot body 4, the clamping portion 32 will generate a component force toward the center of the lining cover 2, thereby increasing the clamping stability between the clamping portion 32 and the pot body 4, and further increasing the clamping stability between the pot cover assembly and the pot body 4, thereby ensuring the normal operation of the cooking appliance.

[0057] In a preferred embodiment, the transmission member 3 further includes a straight wall section extending from the clamping portion 32 to the connecting portion 33, that is, the clamping portion 32 is connected to the connecting portion 33 through a straight wall structure, so that the distance between the connecting position of the connecting portion 33 and the lining cover 2 and the edge of the lining cover 2 can be set smaller, so that other components located in the central area of ​​the lining cover 2 can be installed, thereby improving the assembly efficiency of the pot cover assembly. At the same time, it can also increase the compactness of the pot cover assembly, which is convenient for miniaturization of the pot cover assembly.

[0058] The present application does not specifically limit the connection method between the operation button 11 and the cover 1. In a preferred embodiment, referring to Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 The operating button 11 has a hinged end hinged to the cover 1 and a pressure-applying end arranged opposite to the hinged end, and the pressure-applying end acts on the transmission part 31 .

[0059] When opening the pot cover assembly, the operation button 11 is first pressed to rotate the pressure end around the hinge end, and then the pressure end applies downward pressure to the transmission part 31, so that the transmission member 3 rotates around the connection part 33, and the clamping part 32 rotates toward the side away from the center of the lining cover 2, so that the clamping part 32 and the pot body 4 are released from the clamping fixation, and then the pot cover assembly is rotated. In this process, the operation button 11 is prevented from being subjected to unbalanced force, resulting in the risk of the operation button 11 and the cover 1 being stuck, thereby ensuring the smoothness of the user pressing the operation button 11, and at the same time ensuring that the clamping part 32 can be normally clamped with the pot body 4, further improving the user's experience. In addition, the operation button 11 is hinged to the cover 1, which can also increase the connection stability of the operation button 11 and the cover 1, so as to reduce the risk of the operation button 11 being separated from the cover 1.

[0060] In a preferred embodiment, referring to Figure 2 and Figure 5 The pot cover assembly further includes a reset member 5 acting on the operating button 11 . When the operating button 11 rotates toward the transmission portion 31 , the reset member 5 elastically deforms and applies a reverse force to the operating button 11 .

[0061] When the user presses the operation button 11, the operation button 11 applies pressure to the reset member 5 to cause the reset member 5 to undergo elastic deformation, thereby causing the pressure end of the operation button 11 to move toward the transmission portion 31 and apply pressure to the transmission portion 31 to release the clamping portion 32 from the pot body 4. That is to say, when the user presses the operation button 11, it is necessary to overcome the elastic force of the reset member 5 at the same time to reduce the sensitivity of the operation button 11, thereby reducing the risk of the clamping portion 32 and the pot body 4 being released from the clamping portion when the user wipes the cooking utensil during operation, thereby ensuring the normal operation of the cooking utensil and further improving the user's experience; when the user's finger is separated from the operation button 11, the reset member 5 gradually recovers its deformation, thereby causing the operation button 11 to automatically move in a direction away from the transmission portion 31 under the action of the reset member 5, thereby ensuring the clamping force between the clamping portion 32 and the pot body 4, increasing the clamping stability between the clamping portion 32 and the pot body 4, and further ensuring the normal operation of the cooking utensil.

[0062] The present application does not specifically limit the structure of the reset member 5. Preferably, refer to Figure 2 and Figure 5 The reset member 5 is a torsion spring, which is coaxially arranged with the rotation axis of the operation button 11, and one end of the torsion spring acts on the operation button 11, and the other end of the torsion spring acts on the cover 1. When the operation button 11 is pressed, the torsion spring is elastically deformed, so that after the pressing force on the operation button 11 disappears, the operation button 11 can automatically rotate in a direction away from the transmission part 31. In other implementation examples, the reset member 5 can also be other elastic structures such as a spring and an elastic sheet.

[0063] The present application does not specifically limit the process of the pressure applying end to the transmission part 31, and any one of the following embodiments may be adopted:

[0064] Embodiment 1, in this embodiment, refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 When the clamping portion 32 is clamped with the pot body 4 , there is a movement gap between the pressure-applying end and the transmission portion 31 .

[0065] When the user presses the operation button 11, the operation button 11 first moves toward the direction close to the transmission part 31 and contacts the transmission part 31 after eliminating the moving gap, and then continues to press the operation button 11, and the operation button 11 applies downward pressure to the transmission part 31, so that the transmission member 3 rotates around the connecting part 33, and the clamping part 32 rotates toward the side away from the center of the lining cover 2 to release the clamping part 32 from the pot body 4. That is to say, in the process of the pressure end applying pressure to the transmission part 31, the pressure end needs to eliminate the moving gap first, and then press the transmission part 31 against the transmission part 31, thereby increasing the movement stroke of the operation button 11, further reducing the sensitivity of the operation button 11, and further reducing the risk of accidentally touching the operation button 11 and causing the pot cover assembly to open, further ensuring the normal operation of the cooking appliance. At the same time, the existence of the moving gap enables the transmission member 3 to automatically adjust the clamping position of the clamping part 32 and the pot body 4 following the contraction of the water collecting ring 42, so as to increase the sealing of the cooking cavity and the service life of the cooking appliance, and further improve the user's experience.

[0066] Embodiment 2. In this embodiment, when the clamping portion 32 is clamped with the pot body 4, there is a rotation gap between the surface cover 1 and the operating button 11 for the operating button 11 to rotate toward and away from the transmission portion 31, so that the transmission member 3 can follow the contraction of the water collecting ring 42 to realize automatic adjustment of the clamping position of the clamping portion 32 and the pot body 4, so as to increase the sealing of the cooking utensil and the service life of the cooking utensil, and further improve the user experience.

[0067] In this embodiment, the pressure-applying end can be in direct contact with the transmission part 31, so that when the operation button is pressed, the pressure-applying end directly applies downward pressure to the transmission part 31; the pressure-applying end can also have a gap with the transmission part 31 under the action of the reset member 5, so that when the operation button 11 is pressed, the pressure-applying end needs to first eliminate the gap between the pressure-applying end and the transmission part 31, and then apply pressure to the transmission part 31.

[0068] In other embodiments, the operation button 11 may be able to move relative to the cover 1 in the vertical direction, that is, when the operation button 11 is pressed, the operation button 11 moves downward to apply downward pressure to the transmission part 31 .

[0069] The present application does not specifically limit the structure of the operation button 11. In a preferred embodiment, Figure 2 and Figure 4 The operation button 11 is provided with a pressing portion 121 corresponding to the transmission portion 31 , and a matching transition surface 122 is provided on a side of the pressing portion 121 facing the center of the lining cover 2 .

[0070] When the operation button 11 is pressed, the pressing part 121 contacts the transmission part 31 and applies downward pressure to the transmission part 31, thereby causing the transmission part 31 to rotate downward around the connecting part 33. At the same time, the contact position between the transmission part 31 and the pressing part 121 is constantly changing. Since the side of the pressing part 121 facing the center of the lining cover 2 is provided with a matching transition surface 122, the side of the pressing part 121 facing the center of the lining cover 2 is smoother, so that the transmission part 31 rotates more smoothly, thereby increasing the smoothness of the user's pressing of the operation button 11, improving the user's hand feeling when pressing the operation button 11, and further improving the user's experience. At the same time, the provision of the matching transition surface 122 increases the contact area between the pressing part 121 and the transmission part 31, thereby reducing the pressure between the transmission part 31 and the pressing part 121, reducing the risk of wear of the pressing part 121 or the transmission part 31, and ensuring the transmission efficiency between the operation press and the transmission member 3.

[0071] Preferably, refer to Figure 2 and Figure 5 The matching transition surface 122 is a curved surface, and the center of the curved surface is located on the side of the matching transition surface 122 away from the center of the liner cover 2, so as to further increase the smoothness when the contact position between the transmission part 31 and the pressing part 121 changes, improve the user's feel when pressing the operation button 11, and thus improve the user's experience.

[0072] In other embodiments, the bottom of the operating button 11 may also be a planar structure or other structures, as long as the operating button 11 can be pressed and the operating button 11 applies downward pressure to the transmission part 31 .

[0073] In a preferred embodiment, referring to Figure 2 and Figure 5 The pot cover assembly also includes an elastic member 6 . The transmission portion 31 is provided with a mounting channel 311 , and the elastic member 6 is arranged in the mounting channel 311 .

[0074] Specifically, the elastic member 6 is arranged in the vertical direction, the top end of the elastic member 6 is located in the installation channel 311, and the bottom end of the elastic member 6 is against the lining cover 2. When the transmission part 31 is subjected to downward pressure and rotates around the connecting part 33, the transmission member 3 applies pressure to the elastic member 6, which then causes the elastic member 6 to deform and applies a reverse force to the transmission member 3, so that after the downward pressure on the transmission part 31 disappears, the elastic member 6 gradually recovers its deformation, so that the transmission part 31 automatically rotates upward around the connecting part 33, and the clamping part 32 automatically rotates around the connecting part 33 toward the center of the lining cover 2 to increase the clamping stability of the clamping part 32 and the pot body 4. At the same time, when the elastic member 6 is deformed, the installation channel 311 can guide the deformation direction of the elastic member 6 to increase the stability of the elastic member 6 when it is deformed, thereby ensuring the connection stability of the elastic member 6 with the transmission member 3 and the lining cover 2.

[0075] The present application does not specifically limit the structure of the elastic member 6. In a preferred embodiment, Figure 2 and Figure 5 The elastic member 6 is a spring to reduce the cost of the pot cover assembly and ensure the stability of the clamping portion 32 and the pot body 4. In other embodiments, the elastic member 6 can also be an elastic sheet, an elastic column or other elastic structures.

[0076] The present application does not specifically limit the formation method of the installation channel 311. In a preferred embodiment, referring to Figure 5 The transmission part 31 is provided with an extension part 312 extending in the vertical direction, and the top of the extension part 312 is protruding from the top of the transmission part 31, and the bottom of the extension part 312 is protruding from the bottom of the transmission part 31. The interior of the extension part 312 forms a mounting channel 311, thereby increasing the guiding length of the mounting channel 311 for the elastic member 6, and further increasing the stability of the elastic member 6 when it is deformed. In other embodiments, the mounting channel 311 can also be formed by an upward depression between the transmission part 31 and the connecting part 33.

[0077] Preferably, refer to Figure 2 and Figure 5 The lining cover 2 is provided with a positioning protrusion 21 corresponding to the elastic member 6, and the positioning protrusion 21 extends into the elastic member 6 to increase the connection stability between the elastic member 6 and the lining cover 2, so as to ensure the elastic driving effect of the elastic member 6 on the transmission part 31, and further ensure the clamping stability of the clamping part 32 and the pot body 4.

[0078] In a preferred embodiment, referring to Figure 5 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 The clamping portion 32 includes a matching section and a stop portion. The matching section is provided with a clamping channel 321 , and a pressure member 322 is slidably connected in the clamping channel 321 .

[0079] Specifically, the pot body 4 has a clamping portion 421 arranged corresponding to the clamping portion 32, and the clamping portion 421 has a stop side that cooperates with the clamping portion 32. When the clamping portion 32 is clamped with the clamping portion 421, the stop portion abuts against the bottom of the clamping side, and the pressure piece 322 abuts against the top of the clamping side and applies pressure to the clamping side, thereby increasing the contact area between the clamping portion 32 and the clamping portion 421, and further increasing the clamping stability of the clamping portion 32 and the pot body 4, so as to increase the stability of the pot cover assembly when it is in the closed state.

[0080] In a preferred embodiment, referring to Figure 2 and Figure 5The lining cover 2 is provided with a support rib 22 extending into the engaging channel 321 on the side away from its own center, and a booster 23 is provided between the support rib 22 and the pressure piece 322. The booster 23 is elastic, and when the pressure piece 322 contacts the top of the engaging side, the booster 23 undergoes elastic deformation and applies a downward elastic piece 6 to the pressure piece 322, thereby increasing the contact force between the pressure piece 322 and the engaging side, thereby further increasing the clamping stability of the clamping portion 32 and the pot body 4.

[0081] It should be noted that, in order to increase the stability of the booster 23, a guide structure may be provided on the support rib 22 and the pressure member 322. The guide structure may refer to the structure of the installation channel 311 and the positioning protrusion 21 mentioned above.

[0082] Reference Figures 8 to 11 The present application also discloses a cooking utensil, including a pot body 4 and the above-mentioned pot cover assembly, the pot cover assembly is hinged to the pot body 4, the edge of the pot body 4 is provided with a snap-fitting portion 421, the snap-fitting portion 32 can be snap-fitted with the snap-fitting portion 421, so that the snap-fitting portion 32 has a locked state of being snap-fitted with the snap-fitting portion 421 and an unlocked state of being separated from the snap-fitting portion 421.

[0083] Specifically, the pot body 4 includes an outer shell 41, a water collecting ring 42 arranged on the top of the outer shell 41, and an inner pot 43. The outer shell 41 and the water collecting ring 42 together form a accommodating cavity for accommodating the inner pot 43. After the pot cover assembly is closed on the pot body 4, the pot cover assembly and the inner pot 43 together form a sealed cooking cavity, and the clamping part 421 is arranged on the top of the water collecting ring 42.

[0084] Due to the use of the above-mentioned pot cover assembly, when the water collecting ring 42 shrinks, the clamping position of the clamping portion 32 and the clamping portion 421 is displaced toward the side close to the center of the inner pot 43, so that the projection of the distance from the connecting portion 33 to the clamping position in the vertical direction will gradually decrease, so as to reduce the risk of air leakage after long-term use of the cooking utensil, thereby improving the sealing of the cooking cavity and the appearance quality of the cooking utensil.

[0085] In a preferred embodiment, referring to Fig. 9 and Fig.11 The engaging portion 421 has a stop side that cooperates with the engaging portion 32, and the stop side is provided with a guide arc surface 422, and the guide arc surface 422 is located at the bottom of the stop side, so that the engaging portion 32 and the stop side are engaged more smoothly, thereby achieving the effect of facilitating the engaging of the engaging portion 32 and the stop side; at the same time, the box cover gap between the pot cover assembly and the pot body 4 can be further reduced, the sealing of the cooking cavity and the appearance quality of the cooking utensil can be further improved, thereby further improving the user experience.
