[0038] See also Figures 1 to 5The embodiment of the utility model provides a clamp assembly 100 for a cooking device 1000. The cooking device 1000 includes a pot body 200 and a pot cover 300, and the clamp assembly 100 is clamped to connect the pot body 200 and the pot cover 300. The clamp assembly 100 includes a clamp 10, and the clamp 10 includes a body 12 and a protrusion 14. The body 12 includes an upper plate 121, a connecting plate 123 and a lower plate 125, and the connecting plate 123 connects the upper plate 121 and the lower plate 125. The connecting plate 123 is connected to the upper plate 121 to form a first corner 127, and the connecting plate 123 is connected to the lower plate 125 to form a second corner 129, and the protrusion 14 covers at least one of the first corner 127 and the second corner 129.

[0039] The above-mentioned clamp assembly 100 is provided with a protrusion 14 at the position of the first corner 127 and / or the second corner 129 to improve the torsional stiffness of the clamp assembly 100 on the upper plate 121 and / or the lower plate 125, that is, to improve the bending, tensile and torsion resistance of the upper plate 121 and / or the lower plate 125, thereby enhancing the stiffness and strength of the main body 12, reducing the tendency of the clamp 10 to open, and thereby ensuring safe cooking of the cooking device 1000.

[0040] Specifically, in one embodiment, the body 12 in the clamp 10 can be an arc-shaped clamp (such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 It can be a straight-line splint or a folded-line splint (not shown), or a splint of other shapes to match the shape of the outer periphery of the pot body 200 and the pot cover 300, thereby ensuring that the clamp 10 is stably clamped on the outer periphery of the pot body 200 and the pot cover 300, thereby ensuring the stability of the cooking device 1000, and no specific limitation is made here.

[0041] That is, the clamp 10 can be applied to a cooking device 1000 of a round pot, an oval pot, a square pot or other shapes to ensure the safe operation of the cooking device 1000, and no specific limitation is made herein.

[0042] In one embodiment, if Figure 1 As shown, the number of the clamp assemblies 100 can be two, and the pot body 200 and the pot cover 300 can be stably clamped in a symmetrical arrangement, thereby improving the overall connection stability of the cooking device 1000 and ensuring the cooking safety of the user.

[0043] In other embodiments, the number of the clamp assemblies 100 may also be other values, as long as the pot body 200 and the pot cover 300 are stably connected, and no specific limitation is made here.

[0044] In one embodiment, the clamp 10 includes a main body 12 and a protrusion 14, and the main body 12 and the protrusion 14 can be an integrally connected structure to ensure the continuity and stability of the clamp 10, thereby ensuring the rigidity and structural strength of the clamp 10, reducing the seams formed by other splicing methods, and preventing it from loosening or breaking.

[0045] That is, the body 12 and the protrusion 14 can be made of one metal material to form the clamp 10. Of course, in other examples, the body 12 and the protrusion 14 can also be made of multiple materials to form the clamp 10 of an integral structure, which is not specifically limited here.

[0046] In one embodiment, the raised portion 14 can be a feature protruding along the enclosed area of ​​the main body 12, or a feature protruding away from the enclosed area of ​​the main body 12, or an arched feature protruding in other directions. By setting the raised portion 14 at the first corner 127 and / or the second corner 129, the overall stiffness and strength of the clamp 10 can be ensured, thereby improving the bending, tensile and torsion resistance of the clamp 10, so that the pot body 200 and the pot cover 300 are tightly connected, thereby ensuring safe cooking for users. No specific restrictions are made here.

[0047] In one embodiment, preferably, the protrusion 14 can be formed by stamping, so that the protrusion 14 protrudes on one side of the main body 12, and the protrusion 14 is recessed on the other side opposite to the protruding side. Relative to the flat plane, the formation of the protrusion 14 can increase the moment of inertia of the clamp 10, that is, it can increase the ability of the upper plate 121 and / or the lower plate 125 in the clamp 10 to resist bending, thereby ensuring that the clamp 10 is not easily deformed, and further ensuring the safe sealing of the cooking device 1000.

[0048] In another embodiment, the raised portion 14 can also be formed by milling so that the raised portion 14 on the main body 12 is a solid block, which is equivalent to increasing the thickness at the weak position of the clamp 10 (such as the first corner 127 and the second corner 129 of the opening end) to improve the overall rigidity and strength of the clamp 10, thereby ensuring that the pot body 200 and the pot cover 300 are tightly connected. No specific limitation is made here.

[0049] In other embodiments, the protrusion 14 may also be integrally formed by welding or other methods, which is not specifically limited here.

[0050] In one embodiment, the molding step of the raised portion 14 may be: using a punching machine to align the punch and the die with the body 12, wherein the die may be a fixed end, the punch may be a movable end, and the punching direction is that the punch pushes the body 12 toward the die, and sufficient pressure is applied to punch the body 12 into a convex shape. In this process, the body 12 will be bent and stretched to form the desired raised portion 14. During the punching process, the body 12 will be squeezed by the punch and elastically deformed, thereby generating a concave curved surface on one side of the punch and a convex curved surface on one side of the die, which is the raised portion 14.

[0051] It is understood that the protrusion 14 can be located in the area surrounded by the clamp 10 (not shown), or in the area away from the area surrounded by the clamp 10 (such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown), it is determined by the stamping direction of the punch on the body 12 and is not specifically limited here.

[0052] In one embodiment, the connecting plate 123 is connected to the upper plate 121 to form a first corner 127. When the protrusion 14 covers or crosses the first corner 127, as shown in FIG. Figure 2 and Figure 5 As shown, along the radial section of the clamp 10, the position where the protrusion 14 is connected to the first corner 127 can be seen that the relative thickness of the first corner 127 is enhanced and the moment of inertia is increased, thereby increasing the rigidity and connection strength of the connecting plate 123 and the upper plate 121, making it less likely for the upper plate 121 to flip over or other deformation relative to the connecting plate 123, thereby ensuring that the pot cover 300 is stably connected to the clamp 10.

[0053] In another embodiment, the connecting plate 123 is connected to the lower plate 125 to form a second corner 129. When the protrusion 14 is arranged across the second corner 129, as shown in FIG. Figure 3 As shown, along the radial section of the clamp 10, the position where the protrusion 14 is connected to the second corner 129 can be seen that the relative thickness of the second corner 129 is enhanced and the moment of inertia is increased, thereby increasing the rigidity and connection strength of the connecting plate 123 and the lower plate 125, making it less likely for the lower plate 125 to flip over or other deformation relative to the connecting plate 123, thereby ensuring that the pot body 200 is stably connected to the clamp 10.

[0054] In yet another embodiment, Figure 4 As shown, when the protrusion 14 is arranged to span the first corner 127 and the second corner 129 at the same time, the relative thickness of the first corner 127 and the second corner 129 are enhanced, and the moment of inertia is increased, thereby increasing the rigidity and connection strength of the main body 12, making it difficult for the upper plate 121 to be deformed such as flipping relative to the connecting plate 123, and making it difficult for the lower plate 125 to be deformed such as flipping relative to the connecting plate 123, thereby ensuring that the pot body 200 is stably connected to the clamp 10.

[0055] In one embodiment, the raised portion 14 covers at least one of the first corner 127 and the second corner 129. It can be understood that the raised portion 14 covers the first corner 127 alone, or the raised portion 14 covers the second corner 129 alone, or the raised portion 14 covers the first corner 127 and the second corner 129 at the same time, so as to enhance the rigidity of the main body 12, so that the upper plate 121 and / or the lower plate 125 are not easy to flip over or other deformations relative to the connecting plate 123, thereby ensuring that the pot body 200 is stably connected to the clamp 10, thereby reducing the risk of safety hazards in the cooking device 1000.

[0056] In one embodiment, for the first corner 127, the raised portion 14 may cover a portion of the first corner 127, and the raised portion 14 is arranged close to the two open ends of the main body 12, and may also completely cover the first corner 127 to ensure that the upper plate 121 and the connecting plate 123 are stably connected, and no specific limitation is made here.

[0057] Similarly, for the second corner 129, the raised portion 14 can cover a portion of the second corner 129, and the raised portion 14 is arranged close to the two open ends of the main body 12, and can also completely cover the second corner 129 to ensure that the upper plate 121 and the connecting plate 123 are stably connected, and no specific limitation is made here.

[0058] It can be understood that, preferably, in one example, the protrusion 14 can completely cover the first corner 127 and the second corner 129. In another example, the protrusion 14 can completely cover the first corner 127 and partially cover the second corner 129 near the two open ends of the body 12. In another example, the protrusion 14 can completely cover the second corner 129 and partially cover the first corner 127 near the two open ends of the body 12. In yet another example, the protrusion 14 partially covers the first corner 127 and the second corner 129 near the two open ends of the body 12.

[0059] It is worth noting that when the raised portion 14 partially covers the first corner 127 or the second corner 129, the number of raised portions 14 covering the first corner 127 or the second corner 129 is at least 2, so as to ensure that the rigidity and strength of the two open ends of the main body 12 are increased, thereby ensuring that the pot body 200 and the pot cover 30 are tightly connected.

[0060] See also Figures 2 to 5 In some embodiments, the upper plate 121 , the lower plate 125 and the connecting plate 123 form a clamping groove 16 , and the protrusion 14 is protruded on the side of the upper plate 121 , the lower plate 125 and / or the connecting plate 123 away from the clamping groove 16 .

[0061] In this way, a protrusion 14 is formed which protrudes outward away from the clamping groove 16 , thereby improving the rigidity and structural strength of the clamp 10 .

[0062] Specifically, in one embodiment, Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the upper plate 121, the lower plate 125 and the connecting plate 123 are surrounded by a clamping groove 16 to accommodate the outer periphery of the pot body 200 and the pot cover 300, thereby ensuring that the cooking device 1000 forms a stable connection structure.

[0063] It is understandable that Figure 3 As shown, the clamping groove 16 is U-shaped and placed on its side, and the depth of the clamping groove 16 along the up and down direction matches the thickness of the outer periphery of the pot body 200 and the pot cover 300, so that the clamp 10 is clamped and connected to the outer periphery of the pot body 200 and the pot cover 300 to form an interference fit, thereby ensuring the sealing setting of the cooking equipment and good safety.

[0064] In one embodiment, the protrusion 14 is protrudingly disposed on the side of the upper plate 121, the lower plate 125 and / or the connecting plate 123 away from the clamping groove 16. Figure 3 As shown, the protrusion 14 may protrude in the left front direction and the left rear direction of the body 12 to form a reinforcement structure in the vicinity of the two open ends of the clamp 10 , thereby improving the rigidity and structural strength of the clamp 10 .

[0065] It can be understood that the protrusion 14 forms a reinforcing structure on the main body 12 that protrudes outward away from the clamping groove 16, so as to increase the moment of inertia of the main body 12 at the first corner 127 and / or the second corner 129, so that the upper plate 121 and / or the lower plate 125 are not easy to flip over or deform relative to the connecting plate 123, thereby ensuring that the clamp 10 is stably connected to the pot body 200 and the pot cover 300 with good safety.

[0066] In some embodiments, the upper plate 121 , the lower plate 125 and the connecting plate 123 form a clamping groove 16 , and the protrusion 14 is protruded on the side of the upper plate 121 , the lower plate 125 and / or the connecting plate 123 facing the clamping groove 16 .

[0067] In this way, a protrusion 14 convex toward the clamping groove 16 is formed, thereby improving the rigidity and structural strength of the clamp 10 .

[0068] Specifically, in one embodiment, the protrusion 14 is protrudingly provided on the side of the upper plate 121, the lower plate 125 and / or the connecting plate 123 facing the clamping groove 16 (not shown), so as to Figure 3 For auxiliary explanation, by way of example, the protrusion 14 may protrude in the right front direction and the right rear direction of the body 12 to form a reinforcement structure in the vicinity of the two open ends of the clamp 10 , thereby improving the rigidity and structural strength of the clamp 10 .

[0069] It can be understood that the protrusion 14 forms a reinforcing structure on the main body 12 that bulges inward toward the clamping groove 16 to increase the moment of inertia of the main body 12 at the first corner 127 and / or the second corner 129, so that the upper plate 121 and / or the lower plate 125 are not easily deformed such as flipping relative to the connecting plate 123, thereby ensuring that the clamp 10 is stably connected to the pot body 200 and the pot cover 300 with good safety.

[0070] See also Figure 2 In some embodiments, the distance H between the protrusion 14 and one side of the main body 12 along the length direction is (0, 3×L / 7), where L is the scanning line length of the main body 12 along the length direction.

[0071] In this way, the protrusions 14 are disposed close to the two open ends of the body 12 , thereby increasing the rigidity and strength of the two open ends of the clamp 10 , thereby ensuring the clamping and connecting effect of the clamp 10 .

[0072] Specifically, in one embodiment, Figure 2 As shown, when the body 12 is arc-shaped, the scan line length L can be the arc length. When the body 12 is square (not shown), the scan line length L can also be the length of the long side. In other embodiments, the scan line length L can also be other lengths, which are related to the shape of the clamp 10 and are used to represent the length value of the body 12 along the length direction, and are not specifically limited here.

[0073] In one embodiment, the distance H between the protrusion 14 and one side of the body 12 along the length direction can be understood as the distance between the edge of the protrusion 14 and the nearest end of the opening of the body 12 (e.g. Figure 2 As shown in the figure, by setting the distance H, it is possible to ensure that the raised portion 14 is arranged close to the open end of the main body 12, thereby effectively improving the stiffness and strength of the clamp 10 at the two open ends, that is, enhancing the bending, tensile and torsional properties of the weak positions in the main body 12, avoiding the two open ends of the clamp 10 from opening, air leakage, etc., thereby ensuring the connection stability between the pot body 200 and the pot cover 300.

[0074] In one embodiment, the distance H between the protrusion 14 and one of the side edges of the body 12 along the length direction is (0, 3×L / 7), so that the protrusion 14 is arranged at a suitable position away from the opening end of the body 12, so that the clamp 10 is not easily bent and deformed, thereby ensuring that the pot body 200 and the pot cover 300 are stably connected during the operation of the cooking device 1000, thereby improving safety.

[0075] It can be understood that when the distance H between the protrusion 14 and one of the side edges of the main body 12 along the length direction exceeds the range of (0, 3×L / 7), the protrusion 14 is far away from the open end of the main body 12, so that the stiffness and clamping strength of the two open ends of the clamp 10 are not significantly improved, thereby failing to ensure that the pot body 200 and the pot cover 300 are stably connected during the operation of the cooking device 1000, and the safety is poor.

[0076] In one embodiment, the distance H is in the range of (0, 3×L / 7), that is, 0<H<3×L / 7. In some examples, the distance H can be L / 42, 5L / 42, L / 6, 11L / 42, 13L / 42, 15L / 42, 17L / 42 or other values ​​between 0 and 3×L / 7.

[0077] See also Figure 2 In some embodiments, the distance H between the protrusion 14 and one side of the main body 12 along the length direction is (0, L / 6), where L is the scanning line length of the main body 12 along the length direction.

[0078] In this way, the protrusion 14 is disposed at a suitable position away from the end side of the body 12, further enhancing the overall rigidity and strength of the clamp 10, thereby ensuring the safe operation of the cooking device 1000.

[0079] Specifically, in one embodiment, preferably, the distance H between the protrusion 14 and one of the side edges of the main body 12 along the length direction is (0, L / 6), so that the protrusion 14 is arranged as close to the opening end of the main body 12 as possible, effectively improving the bending, tensile and torsion resistance of the opening end of the main body 12, so that the clamp 10 does not bend and deform to cause the opening to open, thereby ensuring that the pot body 200 and the pot cover 300 are stably connected during the operation of the cooking device 1000, and having good safety.

[0080] It can be understood that when the distance H between the protrusion 14 and one of the side edges of the main body 12 along the length direction exceeds the range of (0, L / 6), the protrusion 14 is gradually arranged away from the open end of the main body 12, so that the enhancement effect of the stiffness and clamping strength of the two open ends of the clamp 10 is gradually weakened. When the distance H is greater than 3L / 7, it cannot be guaranteed that the pot body 200 and the pot cover 300 are stably connected during the operation of the cooking device 1000, that is, the clamping effect of the clamp 10 is poor, and the two open ends of the clamp 10 are prone to open.

[0081] In one embodiment, the distance H is in the range of (0, L / 6), that is, 0<H<L / 6. In some examples, the distance H can be L / 42, 2L / 42, 3L / 42, 5L / 42, L / 7 or other values ​​between 0 and L / 6.

[0082] In some embodiments, the protrusion 14 is connected to the body 12 as an integral structure.

[0083] In this way, the continuity and connection strength between the protrusion 14 and the body 12 are improved, thereby improving the overall rigidity and strength of the clamp 10 and ensuring the stability of the clamp 10 .

[0084] Specifically, in one embodiment, the protrusion 14 is connected to the body 12 as an integral structure. It can be understood that the protrusion 14 can be formed by stamping the body 12, that is, without adding additional materials, the two open ends of the body 12 are raised near the positions to improve the bending, tensile and torsional properties of the clamp 10, thereby achieving the purpose of enhancing the overall stiffness and strength of the clamp 10, with low cost and easy operation.

[0085] In another embodiment, the protrusion 14 is connected to the main body 12 as an integral structure. It can be understood that the main body 12 can also grow a solid block-shaped protrusion 14. For example, the solid block-shaped protrusion 14 can be left through a milling process or the protrusion 14 can be connected to the main body 12 through an integrated welding process, etc., so as to improve the bending, tensile and torsion resistance of the clamp 10 at the two open ends, thereby ensuring the clamping connection effect of the clamp 10, and no specific limitation is made here.

[0086] In other embodiments, the protrusion 14 and the body 12 may be connected to form an integral structure in other ways to ensure the continuity and clamping strength of the clamp 10, which is not specifically limited here.

[0087] See also Figure 6 and Figure 7 In some embodiments, a plurality of raised portions 14 are provided on the main body 12 , and the plurality of raised portions 14 are symmetrically arranged along the central axis of the main body 12 .

[0088] In this way, the plurality of protrusions 14 are evenly spaced and distributed on the body 12 , thereby improving the overall rigidity and strength of the clamp 10 .

[0089] Specifically, in one embodiment, the plurality of protrusions 14 are symmetrically arranged along the central axis of the body 12, so that the plurality of protrusions 14 are respectively arranged along the two open ends of the body 12 in the direction of the central axis at the same time to ensure the rigidity and strength of the two open ends of the clamp 10, thereby improving the clamping effect of the clamp 10.

[0090] In one embodiment, a plurality of protrusions 14 are symmetrically arranged along the central axis of the main body 12. It can be understood that a plurality of protrusions 14 are evenly spaced on the main body 12, and at least two protrusions 14 are respectively arranged close to the two open ends of the main body 12 to improve the overall stiffness and strength of the clamp 10, thereby improving the overall connection stability of the cooking device 1000 and ensuring the cooking safety of the user.

[0091] See also Figure 1 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 In some embodiments, a side of the protrusion 14 away from the body 12 is parallel to or inclined to a side of the body 12 close to the protrusion 14 .

At this time, the continuity and stability of the protrusion 14 are better, that is, the local cross-sectional height and rigidity of the connection position between the protrusion 14 and the main body 12 are larger, and cracks are not easy to occur at the connection position between the protrusion 14 and the main body 12, thereby ensuring that the clamping effect of the clamp 10 is better.

[0094] In another embodiment, a side of the protrusion 14 away from the main body 12 is inclined with respect to a side of the main body 12 close to the protrusion 14. It can be understood that the protrusion depths of the protrusion 14 on the main body 12 are different. For example, the protrusion 14 can be set with a larger protrusion depth at the first corner 127 and the second corner 129, and a smaller protrusion depth away from the first corner 127 and the second corner 129, thereby strengthening the bending, tensile and torsion resistance at the first corner 127 and the second corner 129, thereby ensuring that the clamp 10 stably clamps the pot body 200 and the pot cover 300.

[0095] In other embodiments, the protrusion 14 may also be formed in other ways or at different positions of the body 12 with a protrusion depth to ensure the rigidity and strength of the clamp 10, which is not specifically limited herein.

[0104] In one embodiment, the protrusion 14 spans across the second corner 129. On the one hand, this makes the local cross-sectional height and rigidity of the connection position between the second corner 129 and the connecting plate 123 larger. On the other hand, it makes the local cross-sectional height and rigidity of the connection position between the second corner 129 and the lower plate 125 larger, which makes it difficult for cracks to occur at the connection position between the protrusion 14 and the main body 12, thereby ensuring the connection stability between the connecting plate 123 and the lower plate 125, and further ensuring the clamping stability of the clamp 10.

[0105] In one embodiment, the protrusion 14 at least partially spans the second corner 129.

[0112] In this way, the local cross-sectional height of the first corner 127 and / or the second corner 129 , that is, the stiffness performance, is increased, thereby improving the clamping effect of the clamp 10 .

[0114] In the case where the protrusion 14 is formed on the upper plate 121 and covers the first corner 127, as shown in FIG. Figure 5 As shown, the protrusion 14 is only protruded on the side of the upper plate 121 and the first corner 127 to improve the tensile, bending and torsional properties of the first corner 127, thereby ensuring that the first corner 127 is not prone to torsional deformation and has good connection stability.

[0115] When the protrusion 14 is formed on the connecting plate 123 and covers the first corner 127 (not shown), the protrusion 14 is only protruded on the side surfaces of the connecting plate 123 and the first corner 127 to improve the tensile, bending and torsional properties of the first corner 127, thereby ensuring that the first corner 127 is not prone to torsional deformation and has good connection stability.

[0118] When the protrusion 14 is formed on the lower plate 125 and covers the second corner 129 (not shown), the protrusion 14 is only protruded on the side surfaces of the lower plate 125 and the second corner 129 to improve the tensile, bending and torsional properties of the second corner 129, thereby ensuring that the second corner 129 is not prone to torsional deformation and has good connection stability.

[0119] In one embodiment, the protrusion 14 spans across the first corner 127 and / or the second corner 129 , which can be understood as the protrusion 14 spans across the first corner 127 , or the protrusion 14 spans across the second corner 129 , or the protrusion 14 spans across both the first corner 127 and the second corner 129 .

[0120] When the protrusion 14 spans the first corner 127, the local cross-sectional height and rigidity of the connection position between the first corner 127 and the upper plate 121 are relatively large, or the local cross-sectional height and rigidity of the connection position between the first corner 127 and the connecting plate 123 are relatively large, so that the first corner 127 is not prone to cracks at the connection position between the protrusion 14 and the main body 12, thereby ensuring the connection stability between the upper plate 121 and the connecting plate 123, and further ensuring the clamping stability of the clamp 10.

[0122] When the protrusion 14 spans across the first corner 127 and the second corner 129 at the same time, the local cross-sectional height and rigidity of the connection positions of the first corner 127, the second corner 129 and the connecting plate 123 are relatively large, so that the first corner 127 and the second corner 129 are not easy to produce cracks at the connection position between the protrusion 14 and the main body 12, thereby ensuring the connection stability between the upper plate 121, the connecting plate 123 and the lower plate 125, and further ensuring the clamping stability of the clamp 10.

[0123] In one embodiment, the raised portion 14 at least partially spans the first corner 127 and / or the second corner 129. It can be understood that the raised portion 14 can partially span the first corner 127 located near the two open ends of the body 12, or can partially span the second corner 129 located near the two open ends of the body 12, or can partially span the first corner 127 and the second corner 129 located near the two open ends of the body 12 at the same time, or can be along the length direction of the body 12 (such as Figure 2 The first corner 127 may be entirely across the first corner 127, or may be entirely across the second corner 129 along the length direction of the body 12, or may be entirely across the first corner 127 and the second corner 129 along the length direction of the body 12 to ensure the rigidity and overall strength of the clamp 10, without specific limitation herein.

[0124] In certain embodiments, the clamp 10 is a metal clamp.

[0125] In this way, the rigidity and strength of the clamp 10 are ensured, thereby ensuring the bending, tensile and torsion resistance of the clamp 10 , so that the pot body 200 and the pot cover 300 are tightly connected.

[0126] Specifically, in one embodiment, the clamp 10 is a metal clamp, and the clamp 10 includes a main body 12 and a protrusion 14. It can be understood that the main body 12 and the protrusion 14 are both made of metal materials, so that the overall rigidity and strength of the clamp 10 are relatively large, thereby ensuring the clamping effect of the pot body 200 and the pot cover 300, and the connection stability is good.

[0127] For example, in one example, the clamp 10 can be made of 430 stainless steel material, and 430 stainless steel material has the advantages of high strength, high rigidity, good corrosion resistance and low cost, and can be used as a preferred material for manufacturing the clamp 10, thereby ensuring the safe operation of the cooking device 1000.

[0128] In other embodiments, the clamp 10 may also be made of other materials to ensure a stable connection between the pot body 200 and the pot cover 300, and no specific limitation is made here.

[0129] See also Figure 1 , Figure 6 and Figure 7In some embodiments, the clamp assembly 100 further includes a clamp arm 20 connected to the body 12 .

[0130] In this way, it is ensured that the clamp 10 can be movably connected to the cooking device 1000, thereby ensuring the opening and closing of the pot body 200 and the pot cover 300, which has good practicality.

[0131] Specifically, in one embodiment, the clamp arm 20 is connected to the body 12 and can move radially along the center of the pot cover 300 to pull the body 12 to move, thereby ensuring the opening and closing of the pot body 200 and the pot cover 300.

[0132] It can be understood that when the clamp arm 20 moves in a direction away from the center of the pot cover 300, the clamp arm 20 pulls the body 12 to move in a direction away from the center of the pot cover 300, so that the cooking device 1000 is converted from a locked lid state to an open lid state.

[0133] Similarly, when the clamp arm 20 moves in a direction close to the center of the pot cover 300, the clamp arm 20 pulls the body 12 to move in a direction close to the center of the pot cover 300, so that the cooking device 1000 is converted from the open lid state to the locked lid state.

[0134] In one embodiment, the clamp arm 20 can be moved manually. For example, a knob (not shown) can be provided at the center of the pot cover 300, the knob is provided with an arc groove (not shown), and the clamp arm 20 is provided with a connecting column (not shown), and the connecting column is located in the arc groove to connect the clamp arm 20 with the knob, that is, the clamp arm 20 connects the knob and the clamp 10, as shown in FIG. Figure 7 As shown, when the knob is rotated in a clockwise direction, the knob pushes the connecting column outward, so that the clamp arm 20 pushes the clamp 10 to move away from the center of the pot cover 300, and the cooking device 1000 can open the cover. Otherwise, the cooking device 1000 can lock the cover.

[0135] In other embodiments, the clamp arm 20 may also be moved by electronic control, which is not specifically limited herein.

[0136] In summary, the clamp 10 can be movably connected to the cooking device 1000, which can realize the actions of opening and locking the cover and avoid the situation where the clamp 10 is lost, which is safe and practical.

[0137] See also Figure 1 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 , an embodiment of the utility model provides a cooking device 1000. The cooking device 1000 includes the clamp assembly 100 of any of the above embodiments.

[0138] The above-mentioned cooking device 1000, by setting a protrusion 14 at the position of the first corner 127 and / or the second corner 129, improves the torsional stiffness of the clamp assembly 100 on the upper plate 121 and / or the lower plate 125, that is, improves the bending, tensile and torsion resistance of the upper plate 121 and / or the lower plate 125, thereby enhancing the rigidity and strength of the main body 12, reducing the tendency of the clamp 10 to open, and thereby ensuring safe cooking of the cooking device 1000.

[0139] Specifically, in one embodiment, the cooking device 1000 includes but is not limited to a rice cooker, a pressure cooker, a food processor, a liquid heating processor, and the like.

[0140] It should be noted that the above explanations of the implementation and beneficial effects of the clamp assembly 100 are also applicable to the cooking device 1000 of the embodiment of the utility model, and will not be repeated here to avoid redundancy.
