[0068] The exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure will be described in more detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Although the exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure are shown in the accompanying drawings, it should be understood that the present disclosure can be implemented in various forms and should not be limited by the embodiments set forth herein. On the contrary, these embodiments are provided to enable a more thorough understanding of the present disclosure and to fully convey the scope of the present disclosure to those skilled in the art.

[0069] like Figures 1 to 12 As shown, according to the first aspect of an embodiment of the present disclosure, a steam valve assembly is proposed, comprising: a valve cover portion 100, formed with an exhaust end 101; a cover body portion 200, detachably screwed to the valve cover portion 100, and the cover body portion 200 is formed with a connecting port 201; wherein, when the cover body portion 200 is screwed to the valve cover portion 100, at least a portion of the valve cover portion 100 is located inside the cover body portion 200, and the exhaust end 101 is located at the connecting port 201.

[0070] In practical applications, the steam valve assembly provided in the embodiment of the present disclosure can be arranged in a cooking utensil or used as a component of the cooking utensil. The steam valve assembly includes a valve cover portion 100 and a cover portion 200, wherein the valve cover portion 100 is formed with an exhaust end 101, so that in actual application, the steam valve assembly can release steam through the exhaust end 101; the cover portion 200 is arranged on the valve cover portion 100, at least part of the valve cover portion 100 is located on the inner side of the cover portion 200, and the exhaust end 101 of the valve cover portion 100 is located at the connecting port 201 of the cover portion 200, so that on the one hand, the steam valve assembly can cover the valve cover portion 100 with the cover portion 200 to achieve structural protection of the valve cover portion 100 and reduce the possibility of structural damage to the valve cover portion 100, on the other hand, the connecting port 201 can provide a channel for the exhaust end 101 to communicate with the external environment, so that the steam valve assembly can smoothly discharge steam, and on the other hand, the cover portion 200 can be used to be arranged on the outer side of the pot body or pot cover of the cooking device in actual application, thereby helping to improve the aesthetics of the steam valve assembly and the cooking device to which the steam valve assembly belongs.

[0071] At the same time, the cover body 200 and the valve cover 100 are in a detachable connection relationship and can be relatively disassembled and assembled by screwing together. Therefore, on the one hand, when the cover body 200 is screwed on the valve cover 100, it can ensure that there is a good connection strength between the cover body 200 and the valve cover 100, thereby ensuring the structural stability and reliability of the steam valve assembly; on the other hand, when it is necessary to clean or maintain the steam valve assembly, it is convenient for the user to remove the cover body 200 from the valve cover 100 to independently clean the cover body 200 and the valve cover 100, remove the dirt accumulated on the cover body 200 and the valve cover 100, and reduce the possibility of bacteria breeding between the cover body 200 and the valve cover 100, which is beneficial to improving the cleanliness and hygiene of the steam valve assembly, providing reliable protection for dietary health, and improving the user experience of the product.

[0072] It can be understood that, in actual applications, the cooking utensils to which the aforementioned steam valve assembly can be applied include but are not limited to rice cookers, steamers, boiling pots, and the like.

[0073] It can be understood that, when the cover body 200 is screwed onto the valve cover 100, at least part of the valve cover 100 is located inside the cover body 200, and the exhaust end 101 of the valve cover 100 is located at the communication port 201 of the cover body 200; the exhaust end 101 being located at the communication port 201 can mean that the exhaust end 101 is located inside the communication port 201, or can mean that the exhaust end 101 is located inside the communication port 201. Figures 1 to 6 and Fig. 9 As shown, the aforementioned exhaust end 101 may also be located outside the cover body 200 through the connecting port 201, so that the exhaust end 101 can release steam to the external environment.

[0074] It should be noted that, in some examples, the decorative cover of the steam valve is fixed to the aforementioned valve cover by a snap-on method, so that it is difficult for the user to disassemble the decorative cover and the valve cover, and even it is impossible to disassemble without destroying the structure of the decorative cover or the valve cover, so that a cleaning dead angle is easily formed between the decorative cover and the valve cover, affecting food hygiene and safety. The steam valve assembly provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure, by setting the aforementioned cover body 200 to be detachably screwed to the valve cover 100, can make the valve cover 100 and the cover body 200 relatively tight or loose by manipulating one of the cover body 200 and the valve cover 100 to rotate relative to the other when the cover body 200 and the valve cover 100 are relatively disassembled and assembled, thereby improving the convenience of disassembly and assembly of the steam valve assembly, facilitating the user to clean the cover body 200 and the valve cover 100, facilitating the elimination of accumulated dirt between the cover body 200 and the valve cover 100, and improving the phenomenon of bacterial breeding.

[0075] like Figures 6 to 12As shown, in a feasible embodiment, the valve cover portion 100 includes a valve cover body 110 and a first positioning member 120 arranged on the peripheral side of the valve cover body 110; the cover body portion 200 is also formed with an open end 202 and a connecting notch 203, and the valve cover portion 100 is used to enter or exit the cover body portion 200 through the open end 202, and the connecting notch 203 is opened on the peripheral side of the cover body portion 200; wherein, one end of the connecting notch 203 is located at the open end 202, and the first positioning member 120 is used to cooperate with the connecting notch 203 so that the cover body portion 200 can be detachably screwed onto the valve cover portion 100.

[0076] In this technical solution, the aforementioned valve cover portion 100 may include a valve cover body 110 and a first positioning member 120. The aforementioned first positioning member 120 is arranged on the peripheral side of the aforementioned valve cover body 110. The aforementioned cover body portion 200 is formed with an open end 202. During the relative disassembly and assembly of the cover body portion 200 and the valve cover portion 100, the valve cover portion 100 can enter into the inner side of the cover body portion 200 or exit from the inner side of the cover body portion 200 through the aforementioned open end 202, thereby improving the structural permeability of the cover body portion 200, which is beneficial to further improve the convenience of disassembly and assembly of the steam valve assembly, and provide convenient conditions for users to disassemble and clean the steam valve assembly.

[0077] The cover body 200 is also formed with a connection notch 203, and the first positioning member 120 is used to cooperate with the connection notch 203 so that the cover body 200 can be detachably screwed to the valve cover 100. Accordingly, the connection notch 203 is opened on the circumferential side of the cover body 200, that is, the first positioning member 120 can be used to penetrate the connection notch 203. During the process of disassembling the valve cover 100 and the cover body 200, the valve cover 100 and the cover body 200 can be kept in the same circumferential direction, so that when one of the two is controlled to rotate relative to the other , the first positioning member 120 can be moved along the connecting notch 203, thereby realizing the relative tightening or loosening of the valve cover portion 100 and the cover body portion 200, which is beneficial to further improve the convenience of disassembly and assembly of the steam valve assembly; one end of the connecting notch 203 is opened at the open end 202, so that when the valve cover portion 100 enters or exits the cover body portion 200 through the open end 202, it is also convenient for the first positioning member 120 to extend into or exit the connecting notch 203 accordingly, which can further improve the convenience of assembly between the first positioning member 120 and the connecting notch 203.

[0078] like Figures 8 to 12As shown, it can be understood that, based on the above-mentioned arrangement, since the cover body 200 can be arranged on the valve cover part 100 by screwing, the main part of the cover body 200 and the valve cover body 110 can both be in the form of a rotating body, the circumferential side of the valve cover body 110, that is, the side wall of the valve cover body 110 around its own axial direction, and the circumferential side of the cover body 200, that is, the side wall of the cover body 200 around its own axial direction; accordingly, the exhaust end 101 can be formed at one end of the valve cover body 110 in the axial direction, the open end 202 can be one end of the cover body 200 in the axial direction, and the connecting port 201 can be opened at the other end of the cover body 200 in the axial direction, so that in the process of placing the valve cover part 100 into the cover body 200, it can be further facilitated to arrange the exhaust end 101 and the connecting port 201 in correspondence.

[0079] For example, Figures 6 to 12 As shown, the first positioning member 120 can be arranged on the outer peripheral wall of the valve cover body 110, and the connecting notch 203 can pass through from the inner side to the outer side of the cover body 200. Therefore, on the one hand, during the relative disassembly and assembly of the valve cover 100 and the cover body 200, the first positioning member 120 can be closer to the cover body 200 than the valve cover body 110, so that the first positioning member 120 can cooperate with the connecting notch 203 on the cover body 200. On the other hand, by setting the connecting notch 203 to pass through from the inner side to the outer side of the cover body 200, it is further convenient for users to observe the position of the first positioning member 120 in the connecting notch 203, thereby facilitating users to judge the screwing status, thereby providing further convenient conditions for the smooth disassembly and assembly of the steam valve assembly.

[0080] like Fig. 9 and Fig.10 As shown, in some feasible examples, the first positioning member 120 may be a columnar member protruding from the valve cover body 110, so that the first positioning member 120 can be matched with the connection notch 203. Exemplarily, the first positioning member 120 may be a cylindrical member protruding from the valve cover body 110, so that in the process of manipulating the first positioning member 120 to move along the connection notch 203, it is helpful to reduce the friction resistance between the first positioning member 120 and the cover body 200.

[0081] like Fig. 9 and Fig.10As shown, in a feasible embodiment, the connecting gap 203 includes: a first gap section 2031, which is opened at the open end 202, and the opening direction of the first gap section 2031 is consistent with the conduction direction of the open end 202; a second gap section 2032, which is connected to the first gap section 2031, and the second gap section 2032 is opened along the circumference of the cover body 200; wherein the cover body 200 has a first screw-on position, and when the cover body 200 is located at the first screw-on position, the first positioning member 120 is passed through the second gap section 2032.

[0082] In this technical solution, the aforementioned connecting gap 203 may include a first gap section 2031 and a second gap section 2032, wherein the aforementioned first gap section 2031 is opened at the aforementioned open end 202, and the opening direction of the first gap section 2031 can be consistent with the conduction direction of the open end 202, so that in the process of the valve cover part 100 entering or exiting the cover body part 200 through the aforementioned open end 202, the first positioning member 120 can correspondingly extend into or exit the connecting gap 203 through the aforementioned first gap section 2031.

[0083] The second notch section 2032 is connected to the first notch section 2031, and the second notch section 2032 is opened along the circumference of the cover body 200. Therefore, in the process of screwing the cover body 200 to the valve cover 100, the first positioning member 120 can be first extended into the first notch section 2031 and moved toward the second notch section 2032 along the opening direction of the first notch section 2031, so that the valve cover 100 can enter the cover body 200 at the same time. When the first positioning member 120 moves to the end where the first notch section 2031 is connected to the second notch section 2032, the cover body 200 and the valve cover 100 can be relatively rotated so that the first positioning member 120 enters the second notch section 2032 to realize the screwing of the cover body 200 and the valve cover 100. Accordingly, the cover body 200 can have a first screwing position. When the cover body 200 is located at the first screwing position, the cover body The cover body 200 is screwed on the valve cover 100, and the first positioning member 120 is inserted into the second notch section 2032 to ensure a reliable connection between the cover body 200 and the valve cover 100; in the process of removing the cover body 200 from the valve cover 100, the cover body 200 and the valve cover 100 can be rotated relative to each other first, so that the first positioning member 120 moves toward the first notch section 2031 along the opening direction of the second notch section 2032. When the first positioning member 120 moves to the end where the first notch section 2031 is connected to the second notch section 2032, the valve cover 100 can be further controlled to move along the conducting direction of the open end 202, so that the first positioning member 120 is separated from the first notch section 2031, thereby realizing the disassembly of the cover body 200 and the valve cover 100, facilitating the independent cleaning of the valve cover 100 and the cover body 200, and being conducive to keeping the steam valve assembly clean and hygienic.

[0084] Therefore, based on the above-mentioned setting of the technical solution, on the one hand, it is beneficial to further improve the convenience of disassembly and assembly of the steam valve assembly, and it is convenient for users to clean the valve cover part 100 and the cover body part 200; on the other hand, the first positioning member 120 protrudes from the peripheral side of the valve cover body 110, and the connecting notch 203 has good structural permeability, and then based on the connecting notch 203 and the first positioning member 120, the cover body part 200 and the valve cover part 100 are screwed together, which can avoid the formation of additional cleaning dead corners on the cover body part 200 or the valve cover part 100, which is beneficial to further ensure the cleanliness and hygiene of the steam valve assembly.

[0085] In some feasible examples, the number of the aforementioned first positioning members 120 may be at least two, and at least two aforementioned first positioning members 120 may be arranged at intervals along the circumference of the aforementioned valve cover body 110; accordingly, the number of the aforementioned connection notches 203 is the same as the number of the aforementioned first positioning members 120, and the connection notches 203 correspond to the first positioning members 120 one by one. Based on the aforementioned arrangement, the connection position between the valve cover portion 100 and the cover portion 200 can be increased, the connection strength between the valve cover portion 100 and the cover portion 200 can be further enhanced, and the structural stability of the steam valve assembly can be improved.

[0086] like Fig.10 As shown, in a feasible embodiment, the steam valve assembly also includes: a limiting portion 300, which is arranged in the second notch section 2032, and the limiting portion 300 is arranged close to the first notch section 2031; wherein, when the cover body 200 is located in the first screwing position, the limiting portion 300 is located between the first notch section 2031 and the first positioning member 120.

[0087] In this technical solution, the steam valve assembly may further include a limiting portion 300 disposed in the second notch segment 2032, wherein the limiting portion 300 is arranged close to the first notch segment 2031, and when the cover body 200 is located in the first screw-on position, the first positioning member 120 is located in the second notch segment 2032, and the limiting portion 300 is located between the first notch segment 2031 and the first positioning member 120. Based on the setting of the limiting portion 300, when the cover body 200 is screwed onto the valve cover 100, the steam valve assembly may utilize the limiting portion 300 to constrain the position of the first positioning member 120, thereby reducing the possibility of the first positioning member 120 escaping from the second notch segment 2032 and approaching the first notch segment 2031, thereby further improving the connection firmness when the cover body 200 is screwed onto the valve cover 100, which is beneficial to further improving the structural stability and reliability of the steam valve assembly.

[0088] like Fig.10 As shown, in some feasible examples, a guide slope can be formed on the side of the aforementioned limiting portion 300 close to the aforementioned first notch section 2031 and the side of the aforementioned limiting portion 300 close to the aforementioned second notch section 2032, so that during the rotation of the cover body portion 200 relative to the valve cover portion 100, the resistance applied by the limiting portion 300 to the first positioning member 120 can be reduced to a certain extent, which is beneficial to ensuring the convenience of disassembly and assembly of the steam valve assembly.
