[0040] Reference Figures 1 to 6 A pot cover assembly includes a cover body 1 and an operating panel 2 arranged on the top surface of the cover body 1. The top surface of the cover body 1 is also provided with an operating handle 3, and the operating handle 3 has a gripping space 31. The operating panel 2 can move relative to the cover body 1 to have a first position covering the gripping space 31 and a second position exposing the gripping space 31.

[0041] Specifically, at least a portion of the gripping space 31 is located inside the cover body 1 , so as to reduce the size of the pot cover assembly while ensuring that the gripping space 31 is large enough.

[0042] When the user moves the cooking utensil equipped with the pot cover assembly, the user can adjust the operation panel 2 to move the operation panel 2 from the first position to the second position, thereby exposing the holding space 31. The user then puts his hand into the holding space 31 and moves the cooking utensil, thereby achieving the effect of facilitating the user to move the cooking utensil and improving the user experience.

[0043] At the same time, the operating panel 2 can cover the holding space 31 when it is in the first position, so as to improve the aesthetics and appearance quality of the pot cover assembly, thereby further improving the user experience; in addition, the operating handle 3 is arranged on the top surface of the cover body 1 and at least part of the area is located inside the cover body 1, which reduces the size of the cooking utensil, thereby reducing the space occupied by the cooking utensil, achieving the effect of facilitating the user to store the cooking utensil, and further improving the user experience.

[0044] Furthermore, when using the cooking appliance, the user can also adjust the operation panel 2 according to his or her height and operating habits so that the operation panel 2 is in a position that is more comfortable for the user to operate, thereby facilitating the user to operate the operation panel 2, improving the flexibility of the operation panel 2, and further improving the user's experience.

[0045] The present application does not specifically limit the relationship between the operation panel 2 and the top surface of the cover body 1 when the operation panel 2 is in the first position. In a preferred embodiment, referring to Figures 1 to 4 The top surface of the cover body 1 is provided with a receiving groove 11 which is recessed downward, and the operating handle 3 is arranged in the receiving groove 11. When the operating panel 2 is in the first position, it covers the receiving groove 11 so that the operating panel 2 is flush with the top surface of the cover body 1.

[0046] Specifically, a top plane is provided on the top of the cover body 1, and the top end surface of the operating panel 2 is aligned with the top plane when the operating panel 2 is in the first position, so as to further reduce the size of the cooking utensil on which the pot cover assembly is installed, thereby reducing the space occupied by the cooking utensil, so as to further achieve the effect of facilitating the user to store the cooking utensil; at the same time, the operating panel 2 is flush with the top surface of the cover body 1 when in the first position, and the regularity of the pot cover assembly can also be improved, so as to improve the aesthetics and appearance quality of the pot cover assembly, and improve the user's touch feel of the pot cover assembly, thereby further improving the user's usage experience; in addition, the operating handle 3 is arranged in the accommodating groove 11, and the internal space of the cover body 1 can also be reasonably utilized, so as to make the internal structure of the cover body 1 more compact and improve the space utilization rate of the cover body 1.

[0047] In other embodiments, a mounting surface is provided on the top of the cover body 1, and the operating handle 3 and the operating panel 2 are located above the mounting surface so that the operating handle 3 and the operating panel 2 are exposed from the cover body 1, that is, when the operating panel 2 is in the first position, the top end surface of the operating panel 2 is higher than the mounting surface located on the top of the cover body 1.

[0048] The present application does not specifically limit the connection method between the operation panel 2 and the cover body 1, and it can adopt any one of the following embodiments:

[0049] Embodiment 1. In this embodiment, referring to Figure 1 and Figure 3The operation panel 2 has a connecting end and an opening and closing end. The connecting end is rotatably connected to the top surface of the cover body 1, and the opening and closing end can rotate around the connecting end to switch the operation panel 2 between the first position and the second position.

[0050] When the user moves the cooking utensil installed with the pot cover assembly, the user applies force to the opening and closing end, thereby causing the opening and closing end to rotate around the connecting end and move from the first position to the second position to expose the holding space 31, and then extends the hand into the holding space 31 to move the cooking utensil, thereby simplifying the difficulty of the user's operation of the operation panel 2, facilitating the user to adjust the operation panel 2, and reducing the difficulty of powering the operation panel 2, ensuring the stability of the power supply to the operation panel 2, reducing the failure rate of the pot cover assembly, and increasing the service life of the pot cover assembly.

[0051] In addition, the connection end is rotatably connected to the top surface of the cover body 1, so that the operation panel 2 can rotate relative to the cover body 1, increasing the adjustable range of the operation panel 2 and making it easier for the user to adjust the operation panel 2 to a more comfortable position.

[0052] At the same time, during the process of adjusting the operation panel 2, the dust dropped on the operation panel 2 can also fall along the operation panel 2, so that the user can operate and view the operation panel 2, thereby increasing the operational sensitivity of the operation panel 2 and further improving the user's experience.

[0053] The present application does not specifically limit the rotation direction of the operation panel 2 in the first position and the second position. Preferably, when the operation panel 2 moves from the first position to the second position, the opening and closing end of the operation panel 2 rotates around the connection end toward the top of the cover body 1, that is, the opening and closing end rotates toward the outside of the cover body 1 so that the operation panel 2 moves from the first position to the second position. In other words, the opening and closing end rotates toward the inside of the cover body 1 so that the operation panel 2 moves from the second position to the first position, so as to increase the range in which the operation panel 2 can rotate, further increase the adjustment flexibility of the operation panel 2, so as to adapt to the operating habits of more users, and further improve the user's experience; at the same time, the space between the operation panel 2 and the operating handle 3 when it is in the second position is increased, so that it is more convenient for the user to put his hand into the gripping space 31, so as to facilitate the user to move the cooking utensil equipped with the cover and pot cover assembly, and further improve the user's experience. In other embodiments, the opening and closing end of the operation panel 2 can also rotate toward the bottom of the cover body 1 so that the opening and closing end moves from the first position to the second position.

[0054] In a preferred embodiment, the cover body 1 is provided with an elastic clamping piece acting on the operation panel 2, and the elastic clamping piece can be clamped and fixed with the opening and closing end or loosened with the opening and closing end under the action of pressing force.

[0055] When the user moves the cooking utensil equipped with the pot cover assembly, the user presses the opening and closing end of the operation panel 2 so that the opening and closing end applies downward pressure to the elastic clip, and then the user's fingers separate from the opening and closing end, thereby loosening the elastic clip and the opening and closing end, and the opening and closing end pops up under the action of the elastic clip, and the user rotates the opening and closing end to realize the movement of the operation panel 2 from the first position to the second position; when the user drives the operation panel 2 to block the holding space 31, the user presses the opening and closing end to move the operation panel 2 toward the first position, and when the operation panel 2 contacts the elastic clip, the user continues to press the operation panel 2 so that the operation panel 2 applies downward pressure to the elastic clip, so that the opening and closing end is clamped and fixed to the elastic clip to achieve blocking of the holding space 31.

[0056] By fixing the operation panel 2 in the first position by means of an elastic clip, the stability of the operation panel 2 in the first position can be increased. Meanwhile, when the operation panel 2 is driven toward the second position, the elastic clip can pop up the opening and closing end so that the user can grasp the opening and closing end, thereby facilitating the user to drive the operation panel 2 to the second position, thereby further improving the user's experience.

[0057] The present application does not specifically limit the structure of the elastic clip. Preferably, refer to Figure 2 and Figure 4 The elastic clamping part includes a rebounder and a clamping block 12 arranged on the cover body 1, and a matching block 21 is arranged at the opening and closing end corresponding to the clamping block 12. The rebounder has a driving end that can move relative to the cover body 1, and the driving end has an extended state, a compressed state and a natural state between the extended state and the compressed state. When the user drives the operation panel 2 from the second position toward the first position, the opening and closing end rotates around the connecting end and first contacts the driving end in the extended state, and then continues to press the operation panel 2 so that the operation panel 2 applies pressure to the driving end, and then the driving end moves to a natural state, at which time the matching block 21 is engaged with the snap-in block 12 to lock the operation panel 2 in the first position; when the user drives the operation panel 2 from the first position toward the second position, the user presses the opening and closing end, and the opening and closing end moves around the connecting end, and at the same time, the opening and closing end applies downward pressure on the driving end, so that the driving end moves to a compressed state and applies a force to the opening and closing end to move toward the second position, and then the user's finger separates from the operation panel 2, and the driving end of the rebounder moves from the compressed state to the extended state and loosens the matching block 21 and the snap-in block 12, and the opening and closing end is bounced up by the driving end so that the user can grasp the opening and closing end.

[0058] In other implementation examples, the elastic clip may also include a rebounder and a magnet provided on the cover body 1, and an iron sheet is provided at the opening and closing end corresponding to the magnet, so that the magnetic attraction cooperation between the magnet and the iron sheet can realize locking the operation panel 2 in the first position, and when the operation panel 2 in the first position is pressed, the magnet and the iron sheet are separated under the action of the rebounder.

[0059] Embodiment 2: In this embodiment, the operation panel 2 is slidably connected to the cover body 1, so that when the operation panel 2 is reciprocatedly slid, the operation panel 2 switches between the first position and the second position.

[0060] When the user moves the cooking utensil equipped with the pot cover assembly, the user applies a force to the operating panel 2 in the direction away from the operating handle 3, thereby causing the operating panel 2 to move in the direction away from the operating handle 3 to expose the holding space 31. The user then extends his hand into the holding space 31 and moves the cooking utensil, thereby simplifying the difficulty of operating the operating panel 2 for the user, allowing the user to adjust the operating panel 2.

[0061] The present application does not make any specific limitation on the adjustment method of the operating panel 2. In a preferred embodiment, the cover body 1 is provided with a driving member, which is transmission-connected to the operating panel 2 to drive the operating panel 2 to switch between the first position and the second position, so that when the position of the operating panel 2 is adjusted, no manual operation of the user is required, and the operating panel 2 can be switched between the first position and the second position, so as to improve the automation level of the cooking appliance, free the user's hands, and further improve the user's experience.

[0062] The present application does not specifically limit the structure of the driving member. When the operation panel 2 is rotatably connected to the cover body 1, preferably, the driving member is a motor, and the output shaft of the motor is coaxially fixedly connected to the rotation axis of the operation panel 2, so that when the motor is working, the output shaft of the motor drives the rotation axis of the operation panel 2 to rotate, thereby switching the operation panel 2 between the first position and the second position. In other embodiments, the driving member can also be an electric push rod or a pneumatic motor.

[0063] When the operation panel 2 is slidably connected to the cover body 1, preferably, the driving member is an electric push rod, the cylinder of the electric push rod is hinged to the cover body 1, and the piston rod of the electric push rod is hinged to the operation panel 2, so that when the electric push rod is working, the piston rod of the electric push rod drives the operation panel 2 to move, thereby switching the operation panel 2 between the first position and the second position. In other embodiments, the driving member can also be a linear motor or a cylinder.

[0064] In a preferred embodiment, a battery is provided in the cover body 1, and the battery is electrically connected to the driving member, so that the battery supplies power to the driving member to ensure that after the cooking utensil equipped with the pot cover assembly is stored, the operation panel 2 can still be adjusted to facilitate the user to move the cooking utensil.

[0065] In other embodiments, the operation panel 2 may also be adjusted manually to reduce the production cost of the pot cover assembly.

[0066] The present application does not specifically limit the formation method of the holding space 31, and it can adopt any one of the following embodiments:

[0067] Embodiment 1. In this embodiment, referring to Figure 1 and Figure 3 The operating handle 3 includes a gripping groove arranged on the cover body 1, the gripping groove has an opening for the user to grip, and a gripping space 31 is formed in the gripping groove. When the operating panel 2 is in the first position, the operating panel 2 blocks the opening.

[0068] Specifically, the gripping groove is formed by the depression of the cover body 1, that is, the gripping space 31 is formed by the depression of the cover body 1, so as to reduce the production cost of the pot cover assembly, increase the structural compactness of the pot cover assembly, and at the same time ensure the structural strength of the operating handle 3, so as to increase the service life of the pot cover assembly and further improve the user experience.

[0069] In a preferred embodiment, the top surface of the cover body 1 is provided with a receiving groove 11 which is recessed downward, and the gripping groove is provided on the side wall of the receiving groove 11, and the opening is opened horizontally.

[0070] When moving the cooking utensil installed with the pot cover assembly, first extend it into the accommodating groove 11, and then extend it into the holding space 31 through the opening and move the cooking utensil. Since the opening is opened horizontally, on the one hand, it can be convenient for the user to extend his hand into the holding space 31, and on the other hand, it can increase the connection stability between the user's hand and the holding space 31, so as to increase the stability of the cooking utensil when the user moves the cooking utensil, avoid the situation where the user's hand and the holding space 31 slip and cause the cooking utensil to fall, thereby further improving the user's experience.

[0071] Implementation method 2. In this implementation method, refer to Figure 5 and Figure 6 The operating panel 2 has an avoidance notch 22 corresponding to the operating handle 3. When the operating panel 2 is in the first position, the upper surface of the operating panel 2 and the upper surface of the operating handle 3 form a contact plane.

[0072] The setting of the contact plane improves the user's touch feel of the pot cover assembly, facilitates the user to wipe the pot cover assembly, and improves the appearance quality of the pot cover assembly. The avoidance notch 22 is set corresponding to the operating handle 3, so that the avoidance notch and the operating handle 3 avoid each other, so as to reduce the size of the pot cover assembly, thereby reducing the vertical space occupied by the pot cover assembly, so as to store the cooking utensils installed with the pot cover assembly, thereby further improving the user's use experience.

[0073] At the same time, the setting of the avoidance opening makes the position of the operating handle 3 more obvious, so that the user can quickly find the position of the operating handle 3 according to the position of the avoidance opening, thereby facilitating the user to adjust the operating panel 2, reducing the difficulty of the user's operation of the operating panel 2, and improving the user's adjustment efficiency of the operating panel 2, thereby further improving the user's experience.

[0074] The present application does not specifically limit the structure of the contact plane. Preferably, the contact plane is an inclined plane at an angle to the horizontal direction. The cover body 1 has a first side for mounting the operation panel 2 and a second side opposite to the first side, and the first side is higher than the second side, so that water or dust falling on the operation panel 2 can move along the operation panel 2 to the relatively lower second side, so as to ensure the operation sensitivity of the operation panel 2, thereby further improving the user experience. In other embodiments, the contact plane may also be a plane parallel to the horizontal direction.

[0075] In a preferred embodiment, referring to Figure 5 and Figure 6 The top surface of the cover body 1 is provided with a accommodating groove 11 which is recessed downward, and the operating handle 3 protrudes laterally from the side of the accommodating groove 11 to the inside of the accommodating groove 11, and a gripping space 31 is formed between the operating handle 3 and the bottom of the accommodating groove 11. When the operating panel 2 is in the first position, the operating panel 2 covers the accommodating groove 11 and the upper surface of the operating panel 2 is flush with the upper surface of the operating handle 3.

[0076] Specifically, the avoidance notch 22 is arranged corresponding to the operating handle 3 that protrudes laterally from the side of the accommodating groove 11 to the inside of the accommodating groove 11, so that the avoidance notch 22 and the operating handle 3 can avoid each other. A gripping space 31 is formed between the operating handle 3 and the bottom of the accommodating groove 11, which makes the gripping space 31 larger, making it easier for the user to put his hand into the gripping space 31, and further improving the user's experience. The upper surface of the operating panel 2 is flush with the upper surface of the operating handle 3, thereby improving the user's touch feel of the pot cover assembly and improving the appearance quality of the pot cover assembly.

[0077] The present application does not make any specific limitation on the structure of the operating handle 3. Preferably, the operating handle 3 has an exposed section and reinforced sections located at both ends of the exposed section. The reinforced sections extend to the bottom of the accommodating groove 11 and are fixedly connected to the bottom of the accommodating groove 11 to increase the structural strength of the operating handle 3, thereby increasing the service life of the pot cover assembly and further improving the user experience; when the operating panel 2 is in the first position, the exposed section is located in the avoidance gap 22 and is exposed through the avoidance gap 22.

[0078] It should be noted that the upper surface of the operating panel 2 mentioned in this article is flush with the upper surface of the operating handle 3. It can be flush on a horizontal plane or on a plane that is at an angle to the horizontal plane, as long as the operating panel 2 and the operating handle 3 can be close to each other without any step difference.

[0079] The present application also discloses a cooking utensil, comprising a pot body and the pot cover assembly mentioned above, wherein the pot cover assembly is arranged on the pot body, a control assembly is arranged in the pot body, and an operation panel 2 is electrically connected to the control assembly.

[0080] Due to the use of the above-mentioned pot cover assembly, the size of the cooking utensil is reduced while ensuring that the user can easily move the cooking utensil, thereby making it easier for the user to store the cooking utensil, improving the aesthetics and appearance quality of the cooking utensil, and at the same time allowing the operation panel 2 to be adjusted to a position that is more comfortable for the user to operate, thereby improving the user experience.

[0081] The present application does not specifically limit the connection method between the pot cover assembly and the pot body, and it can adopt any one of the following embodiments:

[0082] Embodiment 1. In this embodiment, the pot cover assembly is hinged to the pot body, and the operation panel 2 and the control assembly are connected by electric wires. The electric wires pass through the pot body through the hinged side of the pot cover assembly and the pot body into the pot cover assembly, thereby achieving the effect of facilitating power supply to the operation panel 2.

[0083] Embodiment 2. In this embodiment, the pot cover assembly is removably placed on the pot body, and a coupler socket is provided on the top of the pot body, and a coupler plug is provided at the bottom of the pot cover assembly corresponding to the coupler socket, the coupler socket is electrically connected to the control assembly, and the coupler plug is electrically connected to the operation panel 2. That is to say, when food is placed in the pot body, the pot cover assembly is separated from the pot body, and when cooking, the pot cover assembly is covered on the pot body, and the coupler plug is plugged into the coupler socket to realize power supply to the operation panel 2.

[0084] Anything not described in this application can be achieved by adopting or drawing on existing technologies.

[0085] The various embodiments in this specification are described in a progressive manner, and the same or similar parts between the various embodiments can be referenced to each other, and each embodiment focuses on the differences from other embodiments.
