The first feature being "below", "below" and "below" the second feature may mean that the first feature is directly below or obliquely below the second feature, or simply means that the first feature is lower in level than the second feature.

[0038] It should be noted that if an element is referred to as being "fixed to" or "disposed on" another element, it may be directly on the other element or there may be a central element. If an element is considered to be "connected to" another element, it may be directly connected to the other element or there may be a central element at the same time. If any, the terms "vertical", "horizontal", "upper", "lower", "left", "right" and similar expressions used in this application are for illustrative purposes only and do not represent the only implementation method.

[0039] In one aspect, an embodiment of the present application provides a cooker, which includes a cooker body, a cooker cover, and a button assembly 100, wherein the cooker cover is disposed on the cooker body. The cooker cover can be opened and closed relative to the cooker body to realize the function of placing or taking food from the cooker body according to actual needs. The button assembly 100 is disposed on the cooker body or the cooker cover and is used to open and close the cooker body.

[0040] It is understandable that the button assembly 100 has an open state and a locked state, and the user can switch the state of the button assembly 100 according to actual needs to control the opening and closing of the pot body. Specifically, when the button assembly 100 is in the open state, the pot cover can be opened relative to the pot body, so that the user can take out the food in the pot body or put the food to be cooked into the pot body; when the button assembly 100 is in the locked state, the pot cover can close the pot body and form a sealed space, so as to facilitate the processing and cooking of the food in the pot body.

[0041] It should be noted that the technical field to which the button assembly 100 can be applied includes but is not limited to cookware.

[0042] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2The button assembly 100 in the embodiment of the present application includes a button bracket 10 and a button base 11. The button bracket 10 includes a bracket plate 101 and at least one guide column 102, and the guide column 102 is protruding from the bracket plate 101; the button base 11 includes a base plate 111, a retaining edge 112 and a limiting portion 113, and the retaining edge 112 is arranged around the circumference of the base plate 111 and forms a reset space 114, and at least one guide hole 115 connected to the reset space 114 is formed through the base plate 111, and the limiting portion 113 protrudes from the hole wall of the guide hole 115;

[0043] Among them, the bracket plate 101 is assembled in the reset space 114, the guide column 102 is inserted into the corresponding guide hole 115 and is in limiting contact with the limiting portion 113. When the button bracket 10 is controlled to extend and retract relative to the button base 11, the limiting portion 113 is used to limit the circumferential movement of the guide column 102 along the guide hole 115.

[0044] During the assembly of the button assembly 100, the button bracket 10 needs to be inserted into the reset space 114 from the opening of the reset space 114, and the guide column 102 needs to be aligned and inserted into the guide hole 115, and the guide column 102 located in the guide hole 115 will be in position-limiting contact with one end of the position-limiting portion 113 protruding from the hole wall of the guide hole 115. In this way, the side of the bracket plate 101 facing away from the reset space 114 can be extended and extended to penetrate into the reset space 114 under the action of external force, and the guide column 102 can also be extended and extended to penetrate into the guide hole 115 accordingly.

[0045] In the present application, the limiting portion 113 is in limiting contact with the guide post 102 to limit the movement of the guide post 102 along the circumferential direction of the guide hole 115 when the guide post 102 is telescopically inserted into the guide hole 115, that is, it can prevent the guide post 102 from shaking in the guide hole 115. At the same time, the limiting portion 113 can make the hole wall of the guide hole 115 protruding corresponding to the limiting portion 113 spaced from the guide post 102, so that the contact area between the guide post 102 and the hole wall of the guide hole 115 can be reduced, that is, the resistance encountered by the guide post 102 when it is telescopically inserted into the guide hole 115 is reduced, thereby reducing the probability of the guide post 102 getting stuck when it is telescopically inserted into the guide hole 115.

[0046] It should be noted that the specific number and arrangement position of the limiting parts 113 are not limited. In some embodiments, the number of the limiting parts 113 is one or more, and all the limiting parts 113 protrude from one side of the hole wall of the guide hole 115.

[0047] It is understandable that the hole wall defining the guide hole 115 has a first wall surface and a second wall surface, wherein all the limiting portions 113 protrude from the first wall surface, and no limiting portion 113 is provided on the second wall surface. In other words, after the guide post 102 penetrates the guide hole 115, the surface of the guide post 102 corresponding to the first wall surface will form limiting contact with all the limiting portions 113, and the surface of the guide post 102 corresponding to the second wall surface will contact with the second wall surface. In this way, compared with the situation in which the guide post 102 in the existing button assembly 100 contacts with all the hole walls of the guide hole 115, the limiting portion 113 can make the hole wall of the guide hole 115 protruding corresponding to the limiting portion 113 spaced from the guide post 102, so as to reduce the contact area between the guide post 102 and the hole wall of the guide hole 115, thereby reducing the probability of the guide post 102 getting stuck when it is telescopically inserted into the guide hole 115.

[0048] In other embodiments, see Figure 3 The guide hole 115 has an inlet end 118 for inserting the guide column 102 and an outlet end 117 for extending the guide column 102. The limiting parts 113 include at least two, and all the limiting parts 113 are respectively arranged on the hole wall of the inlet end 118 and the hole wall of the outlet end 117 along the insertion direction of the guide column 102.

[0049] It is understandable that the guide post 102 and the guide hole 115 extend in the same direction, and in the present application, the extension direction of the guide post 102 and the guide hole 115 is the insertion direction of the guide post 102 .

[0050] In the present application, the limiting portion 113 of the hole wall disposed at the inlet end 118 is defined as the first limiting portion 113, and the limiting portion 113 of the hole wall disposed at the outlet end 117 is defined as the second limiting portion 113, and the first limiting portion 113 and the second limiting portion 113 are spaced from each other along the insertion direction of the guide post 102. In this way, the guide post 102 located in the guide hole 115 will form two-point limiting with the first limiting portion 113 and the second limiting portion 113 along its own extension direction, so that the guide post 102 can be stably telescopically arranged in the guide hole 115, so as to further reduce the probability of the guide post 102 shaking in the guide hole 115.

[0051] Further, in some embodiments, see Figure 3 , the limiting parts 113 located at the same end of all the limiting parts 113 are arranged along the circumference of the guide hole 115. In this way, the limiting parts 113 can space the guide column 102 from the hole walls of all the guide holes 115, thereby reducing the contact area between the guide column 102 and the hole walls of the guide hole 115, that is, reducing the resistance encountered by the guide column 102 when it is telescopically inserted into the guide hole 115, thereby reducing the probability of the guide column 102 being stuck when it is telescopically inserted into the guide hole 115.

[0052] In some embodiments, see Figure 3 , the limiting parts 113 at different ends are staggered along the insertion direction of the guide column 102. In this way, all the limiting parts 113 arranged on the hole wall at the inlet end 118 and the outlet end 117 cooperate with each other to achieve more stable limiting of the guide column 102, so as to further reduce the probability of the guide column 102 shaking in the guide hole 115. At the same time, it is also beneficial to produce the guide column 102 and the limiting parts 113 through the mold process.

[0053] In some embodiments, the diameter of the guide hole 115 is greater than the diameter of the guide column 102 and has a preset difference. The length of the limit portion 113 protruding from the hole wall of the guide channel is defined as a preset length, and the preset distance satisfies the condition: preset length ≤ preset difference.

[0054] It is understandable that, in order to ensure that the guide post 102 can be telescopically arranged in the guide hole 115, a gap with a preset distance is formed between the guide post 102 and the guide hole 115, that is, the preset distance is equal to the preset difference between the diameter of the guide hole 115 and the diameter of the guide post 102. When the preset length is ≤ the preset difference, it can be ensured that the hole wall of the guide hole 115 protrudes with the limiting portion 113, and the guide post 102 can be telescopically arranged in the guide hole 115, so as to realize the assembly and function of the button assembly 100.

[0055] In some embodiments, see Figure 3 and Figure 4 In the direction in which the limiting portion 113 protrudes from the hole wall of the guide channel, the cross-sectional area of ​​the limiting portion 113 gradually decreases.

[0056] It can be understood that the end surface of the limiting portion 113 protruding from the hole wall of the guide channel is smaller, which is beneficial to reducing the contact area between the guide column 102 and the limiting portion 113, thereby further reducing the resistance encountered by the guide column 102 when it is telescopically inserted into the guide hole 115, and reducing the probability of the guide column 102 getting stuck when it is telescopically inserted into the guide hole 115.

[0057] The specific shape of the end of the limiting portion 113 protruding from the guide channel is not limited. In some embodiments, the end of the limiting portion 113 protruding from the guide channel is constructed as an arc surface. It is understandable that the limiting portion 113 contacts the guide column 102 through the arc surface, which can make the contact between the limiting portion 113 and the guide column 102 more comfortable, and can reduce the resistance encountered by the guide column 102 when it is telescopically inserted into the guide hole 115, and reduce the probability of the guide column 102 getting stuck when it is telescopically inserted into the guide hole 115.

[0058] In some embodiments, see Figure 5The button bracket 10 further includes a top column 103, which is disposed on the bracket plate 101 on the same side as the guide column 102 and is spaced apart from the guide column 102;

[0059] The base plate 111 is provided with a top post hole 116 communicating with the resetting space 114 , and the top post 103 is passed through the top post hole 116 .

[0060] It is understandable that when assembling the button base 11 and the button bracket 10, the guide column 102 is inserted into the corresponding guide hole 115 to guide the assembly direction of the button bracket 10, so that the button bracket 10 can be inserted into the reset space 114 from the opening of the reset space 114, and the top column 103 is aligned and inserted into the top column hole 116, thereby achieving rapid assembly and simple operation. After the button assembly 100 is assembled, the side of the bracket plate 101 facing away from the reset space 114 can be extended and inserted into the reset space 114 under the action of external force, and the guide column 102 can be extended and inserted into the guide hole 115 accordingly, and the top column 103 can also be extended and inserted into the top column hole 116 accordingly.

[0061] In some embodiments, see Figure 5 , the number of the guide posts 102 is two, and the two guide posts 102 are spaced apart along the radial direction of the top post 103 and symmetrically distributed on opposite sides of the top post 103;

[0062] There are two guide holes 115 , which correspond one to one with the guide posts 102 .

[0063] It is understandable that after the guide posts 102 are correspondingly inserted into the guide holes 115, a limiting effect can be generated between the two guide posts 102 and the corresponding guide holes 115, and the two cooperate to achieve force balance between the button base 11 and the button bracket 10 on opposite sides of a radial direction of the top column 103. In addition, the two guide posts 102 are symmetrically distributed along the radial direction of the top column 103, and the two guide posts 102 cooperate with each other to achieve force balance between the button base 11 and the button bracket 10 on opposite sides of the radial direction of the top column 103, so that the button base 11 and the button bracket 10 are stably connected, so as to reduce the probability of shaking between the button base 11 and the button bracket 10, and improve the stability of the assembly of the button assembly 100.

[0064] In some embodiments, see Figure 1 and Figure 2 The button assembly 100 further includes an elastic member 12 disposed between the base plate 111 and the bracket plate 101, the elastic member 12 being used to store elastic potential energy for resetting the button bracket 10 when the button bracket 10 is pressed.

[0065] It can be understood that when the button assembly 100 is in the open state, the elastic member 12 will be squeezed by the bracket plate 101 and the base plate 111 to be in a compressed state, so as to store elastic potential energy for resetting the button bracket 10. When the button assembly 100 is switched from the open state to the locked state, the elastic potential energy stored in the elastic member 12 will be converted into a force for the button bracket 10 to move in the resetting direction, thereby resetting the button bracket 10 to the initial position and placing the button assembly 100 in a locked state.

[0066] The technical features of the above-described embodiments may be arbitrarily combined. To make the description concise, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above-described embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

[0067] The above-described embodiments only express several implementation methods of the present application, and the descriptions thereof are relatively specific and detailed, but they cannot be construed as limiting the scope of the patent application. It should be pointed out that, for a person of ordinary skill in the art, several variations and improvements can be made without departing from the concept of the present application, and these all belong to the protection scope of the present application. Therefore, the protection scope of the patent application shall be subject to the attached claims.
