Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of household appliances, in particular to a cooking utensil with a compact structure. Background Art

[0002] Cooking utensils such as rice cookers and electric pressure cookers are cookers that use electrical energy to convert into thermal energy. They have multiple operating functions such as steaming, boiling, stewing, boiling, and simmering food. They are easy to use, safe and reliable. Rice cookers or electric pressure cookers generally enclose the heating device and control circuit board through the middle ring, base and shell to improve the reliability and safety of the product. The shell is generally made of 0.3-0.5 mm iron sheet. After molding, it has weak compressive strength and is easy to deform. Therefore, it is easy to collapse and make abnormal noises under external force, resulting in appearance defects of the product and low product grade. Therefore, it is necessary to design a connection component between the middle ring and the base to stabilize the support structure of the cooking utensil.

[0003] In the existing cooking utensils with a fixed structure between the middle ring and the base, the upper connecting column and the lower connecting column are generally arranged opposite to each other, and the distance between the two and the center of the pot body is the same, and they are fixed by screws. Since the bottom of the insulation cover in the cooking utensils has an arc, and there is no structure or component between the insulation cover and the connecting component, there is a large distance between the bottom arc and the connecting component, and the structure is not compact enough, resulting in deformation due to the low strength of the shell when subjected to external pressure.

[0031] like Figure 1 , 2 As shown, the utility model discloses a cooking utensil with a compact structure, comprising a pot body 1 and a pot cover arranged on the pot body 1 . Figure 3 The structural diagram and cross-sectional diagram of the interior of the utility model are given. The pot body 1 includes a middle ring 11, a heat preservation cover 13 and a base 12, and a shell is provided on the base; the heat preservation cover 13 is positioned between the middle ring 11 and the base 12, and the heat preservation cover 13 forms a receiving cavity for receiving the inner pot. In this embodiment, the mouth of the heat preservation cover has a flange, and the heat preservation cover is fixed to the middle ring through the flange. It can be understood that a slot corresponding to the flange can be provided on the middle ring, and the flange extends into the slot so that the heat preservation cover is fixed to the middle ring.

[0032] The middle ring 11 has an upper mounting column 111 extending downward, and the base 12 has a lower mounting column 121 extending upward. The lower mounting column 121 is arranged at a position closer to the center of the pot body 1 than the upper mounting column, so that the lower mounting column 121 and the upper mounting column 111 are arranged in a staggered manner in the horizontal direction. The lower mounting column 121 is connected to the upper mounting column 111 by at least one connecting member 14, and the connecting member is arranged between the outer shell and the heat preservation cover, and the connecting member 14 has a evacuation portion 143 for evading the heat preservation cover. The evacuation portion has an arc segment adapted to the heat preservation cover, and in the direction from the center of the pot body to the outside, the arc segment is configured to be recessed to the outside. Since the connecting member has the evacuation portion for evading the heat preservation cover, the evacuation portion can effectively reduce the distance between the connecting member and the heat preservation cover, thereby making the structure inside the outer shell more compact and improving the support strength of the outer shell.

[0033] like Figure 4 , 5 As shown, the avoidance portion 143 includes a connecting plate 1431 arranged at an angle with the lower connecting portion and the upper connecting portion, and the avoidance portion is divided into a first end 1433 and a second end 1432 by the connecting plate, wherein the first end 1433 is adapted to the curvature of the bottom surface of the heat-insulating cover 13, and the second end 1432 is adapted to the curvature of the bottom surface of the base 12. The connecting member also includes an upper connecting portion for combining with the upper mounting column, and a lower connecting portion for combining with the lower mounting column, and the arc segment is arranged between the upper connecting portion and the lower connecting portion in the vertical direction.

[0034] The connecting member 14 has an upper connecting portion 141 detachably fixed to the upper mounting column and a lower connecting portion 142 detachably fixed to the lower mounting column, and an avoidance portion 143 is disposed between the upper connecting portion 141 and the lower connecting portion 142. The upper connecting portion 141 is configured as a groove, and the lower end of the upper mounting column 111 has a plug-in column 1111 adapted to the groove. The lower connecting portion 142 is configured as a convex column, and the upper end of the lower mounting column 121 has a slot 1211 adapted to the convex column.

[0035] During installation, the middle ring 11 is inverted, and the connecting member 14 is first put on the mounting column. The connecting member 14 and the upper mounting column are stably connected through the limiting structure between the upper mounting column and the upper mounting part, and then the lower mounting column on the base is put on the bottom of the connecting member and fixed by screws to achieve stable support of the outer shell.

[0036] Since the connecting member 14 is disposed between the upper mounting column 111 and the lower mounting column 121, and the upper mounting column 111 and the lower mounting column 121 are fixedly connected by the connecting member 14, the arrangement of the connecting member 14 can increase the distance between the middle ring and the base. Therefore, the structure formed by the middle ring and the base can accommodate a deeper inner pot, so that the same middle ring and base can be adapted to cooking utensils of different capacities.

[0037] In this embodiment, the two pairs of upper mounting columns 111, lower mounting columns 121 and connecting members 14 are arranged at the rear side of the pot body, and a pair of mounting columns and fixing columns that are positioned opposite and concentrically arranged are arranged at the front side of the pot body. When the mounting columns and fixing columns do not have connecting members, the two are fixedly connected by screws. In other embodiments, in order to further save the design volume of the cooking utensil, four pairs of upper mounting columns 111 and lower mounting columns 121 can be arranged on the middle ring 11 and the base 12. The four pairs of upper mounting columns 111 and lower mounting columns 121 correspond to four connecting members 14. After the connecting members 14 are installed on the upper mounting columns, as long as the positions of the four connecting members 14 are ensured to be relatively correct, the four lower mounting columns 121 can be quickly and accurately inserted into the four connecting members 14.

[0038] Furthermore, the arc section is a convex rib 1434 provided at the first end and adapted to the curvature of the bottom surface of the heat preservation cover; there is a preset gap between the convex rib and the heat preservation cover; and there are reinforcing ribs 1435 at both ends that are perpendicular to the connecting plate and the avoidance portion. Since the two ends of the connecting member of the utility model respectively have convex ribs and reinforcing ribs, the movement of the connecting member relative to the upper mounting column and the lower mounting column can be limited, so that the connecting member can be connected more stably and is not easy to be skewed. Since the position of the connecting member 14 is relatively stable, the connecting member 14 is not easy to shift during the insertion process of the upper mounting column, so the upper mounting column can be quickly and accurately inserted into the connecting member 14 to achieve efficient installation.

[0039] It should be noted that different lengths of connecting components 14 can be selected according to the design requirements of different capacities, so that the same middle ring 11 and base can be used for cooking utensils of various capacities. It is only necessary to adjust the size of the connecting component 14. The mold opening cost, manufacturing cost and inventory cost of the connecting component 14 are all low. The universal middle ring 11 and base reduce the mold opening cost and inventory cost of cooking utensils of different capacities, and reduce the possibility of backlog of the middle ring 11 and base.

[0040] It should be noted that in the present invention, the upper mounting column, the lower mounting column and the connecting member are sleeved together by interference fit and fixedly connected by screws.

[0041] Except for the structures already described, the other internal structures of the main body of the utility model, such as the steam valve, the inner tank and other devices, can adopt the existing technology and will not be described in detail here.

[0042] The above are only preferred embodiments of the present invention. The protection scope of the present invention shall be based on the scope defined by the claims. Several improvements and modifications made by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention shall also be regarded as the protection scope of the present invention.
