Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application belongs to the technical field of kitchen appliances, and specifically relates to a pot cover assembly and a cooking utensil. Background Art

[0002] A cooking utensil is a common kitchen appliance, which includes a pot body and a pot cover, wherein the pot body includes an outer shell and an inner pot arranged inside the outer shell, and the pot cover includes a lining cover and an inner cover that forms a sealed cooking cavity together with the inner pot. In some cooking utensils, the pot cover is further provided with a heating element located between the inner cover and the lining cover, and the heating element can float up and down relative to the lining cover so that the heating element always keeps in contact with the inner cover, and then the heating element heats the inner cover.

[0003] The heating element needs to be powered to work, so the heating element is usually provided with a power or grounding terminal. In order to facilitate the connection between the terminal and the wire on the lining cover, the lining cover will be provided with a avoidance opening corresponding to the terminal below. During assembly, the terminal will be bent horizontally so that it is within the range of the avoidance opening. The wire will extend horizontally from the top of the lining cover to the avoidance opening and extend downward to connect with the terminal of the heating element below the lining cover.

[0004] This arrangement allows the terminal to move downward when the heating element floats up and down relative to the lining cover, especially when it floats downward, causing the end of the wire connected to it to move downward synchronously. The wire will rub against the edge of the avoidance opening, which will cause wire wear over time, thereby affecting the electrical connection stability of the heating element and the service life of the cooking utensil. At the same time, it also increases the resistance of the heating element when it moves downward, thereby affecting the smoothness of the heating element when it floats, causing the heating element to become stuck easily.

[0018] Due to the adoption of the above technical solution, the beneficial effects achieved by this application are as follows:

[0019] 1. The present application provides a connecting portion on the floating heating element, at least the end of the connecting portion extends into the through-hole, and the wire is connected to the end of the connecting portion, so that the connection position of the floating heating element and the wire is higher, or even completely located above the through-hole, thereby reducing the probability of interference between the wire and the through-hole, avoiding the friction between the wire and the edge of the through-hole caused by the low connection position and the wire extending downward, reducing the resistance of the floating heating element when floating up and down, and improving the service life of the wire and the cooking utensil; at the same time, since the connecting portion is provided along the floating direction and the wire is connected to the end of the connecting portion in the floating direction, the extension direction of the connecting portion and the connecting part of the wire and the connecting portion is in the same direction as the through-hole, which is conducive to the edge of the through-hole to avoid the floating of the connecting portion, thereby avoiding interference between the two, thereby further reducing the resistance of the floating heating element when floating up and down, improving the smoothness of the floating heating element when floating up and down, so that it can float more sensitively with the inner cover, and ensure the fitting effect of the two.

[0020] 2. As a preferred embodiment of the present application, the lining cover is provided with a cable tie groove, and a floating buffer interval is formed between the cable tie groove and the through hole, and the portion of the wire located in the floating buffer interval is in a relaxed state. The relaxed wire can have a large buffer margin, and when the floating heating element floats up and down, especially when the floating wire is pulled downward, the portion of the wire located in the floating buffer interval can be stretched to compensate for the displacement caused by floating, preventing the wire from being too tight and causing resistance to the downward movement of the floating heating element, thereby further improving the smoothness of the floating heating element when floating up and down.

[0021] 3. As a preferred embodiment of the present application, the wire includes a body and a fixing portion located at the end of the body, the fixing portion is connected to the end of the connecting portion, and the body is provided with a vertical section, which is connected to the fixing portion and extends along the floating direction. Since the extension direction of the vertical section is in the same direction as the floating direction, when the floating heating element floats up and down, the edge of the through-port can avoid the vertical section, and the vertical section will not contact or wear the edge of the through-port, thereby further reducing the probability of interference between the wire and the edge of the through-port, reducing the risk of wire wear, and increasing the service life of the wire. At the same time, it also further reduces the resistance of the floating heating element when it floats up and down, and improves the smoothness of the floating heating element when it floats up and down.

[0022] 4. As a preferred embodiment of the present application, the pot cover assembly further comprises a surface cover arranged above the lining cover, and a relief opening is provided in the surface cover corresponding to the vertical section. In this way, the surface cover can be relieved at the vertical section, so that when the floating heating element floats up and down relative to the lining cover, especially when floating upward, the vertical section and the surface cover are prevented from abutting and interfering with each other, thereby ensuring the smoothness of the floating heating element when floating up and down, so that it can better maintain a fitting state with the inner cover.

[0023] 5. As a preferred embodiment of the present application, a wire bridging rib is provided on the upper surface of the lining cover corresponding to the through hole, and the projection of the wire bridging rib toward the surface cover is located in the avoidance hole. The wire bridging rib can constrain the wire, making the wiring and direction of the wire more regular, increasing the stability of the vertical section, and keeping it stably within the range of the avoidance hole. The projection of the wire bridging rib toward the surface cover is located in the avoidance hole, which also avoids the interference between the wire bridging rib and the surface cover, thereby further ensuring the smoothness of the floating heating element when floating up and down.

[0042] In order to more clearly illustrate the overall concept of the present application, a detailed description is given below in an illustrative manner in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0043] In the following description, many specific details are set forth to facilitate a full understanding of the present application. However, the present application may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein. Therefore, the scope of protection of the present application is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0044] In addition, in the description of the present application, it should be understood that the orientations or positional relationships indicated by the terms "top", "bottom", "inside", "outside", "axial", "circumferential", etc. are based on the orientations or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing the present application and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be understood as a limitation on the present application.

[0045] In this application, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the terms "installed", "connected", "connected", "fixed" and the like should be understood in a broad sense, for example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection, an electrical connection, or a communication; it can be a direct connection, or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium, it can be the internal connection of two elements or the interaction relationship between two elements. For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in this application can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0046] In the present application, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the first feature "above" or "below" the second feature may be that the first and second features are in direct contact, or the first and second features are in indirect contact through an intermediate medium. In the description of this specification, the description with reference to the terms "implementation method", "example", "one embodiment", "example" or "specific example" means that the specific features, structures, materials or characteristics described in conjunction with the embodiment or example are included in at least one embodiment or example of the present application. In this specification, the schematic representation of the above terms does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment or example. Moreover, the specific features, structures, materials or characteristics described may be combined in an appropriate manner in any one or more embodiments or examples.

[0047] Reference Figures 1 to 7 as well as Fig.10 A pot cover assembly comprises a lining cover 1, an inner cover and a floating heating element 2 arranged between the lining cover 1 and the inner cover, the floating heating element 2 can float up and down relative to the lining cover 1 to contact the inner cover, the floating heating element 2 has a connecting portion 211 arranged along a floating direction, the pot cover assembly also comprises a wire 3, the lining cover 1 is provided with a through hole 11, at least the end of the connecting portion 211 extends into the through hole 11, and the wire 3 is connected to the end of the connecting portion 211 in the floating direction.

[0048] It should be noted that the present application does not specifically limit the function of the connection portion 211. For example, it can be used as a circuit connection, that is, the connection portion 211 is electrically connected to the power supply through the wire 3, so that the power supply can control the start or stop of the floating heating element 2. For another example, the connection portion 211 can be used as a ground connection, that is, grounding is achieved through the wire 3, and the wire 3 is the ground wire. It should also be noted that the "end" is relative to the bottom, which refers to the upper part of the connection portion 211. For example, refer to Fig.10 , the wire 3 is connected to the upper portion of the connecting portion 211.

[0049] It can be understood that the floating heating element 2 can float relative to the lining cover 1 under the push of the inner cover and the elastic component, so as to always keep in contact with the inner cover, thereby heating the inner cover. For example, an elastic member 5 is also provided between the floating heating element 2 and the lining cover 1. When the inner cover moves upward, the floating heating element 2 moves upward under the push of the inner cover, and the elastic member 5 is compressed; when the inner cover moves downward, the floating heating element 2 moves downward with the inner cover under the push of the elastic member 5, so that the floating heating element 2 keeps in contact with the inner cover, so as to ensure the heating effect of the floating heating element 2 on the inner cover.

[0050] It should be noted that the “along the floating direction” mentioned in the present application may mean extending upward or downward along the vertical direction, or extending upward or downward along a direction forming an angle with the vertical direction, and is not limited here.

[0051] The present application provides a connection portion 211 on the floating heating element 2, at least the end of the connection portion 211 extends into the through-port 11, and the wire 3 is connected to the end of the connection portion 211, so that the connection position of the floating heating element 2 and the wire 3 is higher, or even completely located above the through-port 11, thereby reducing the probability of interference between the wire 3 and the through-port 11, avoiding the friction between the wire 3 and the edge of the through-port 11 caused by the low connection position and the wire extending downward, reducing the resistance of the floating heating element 2 when floating up and down, and improving the service life of the wire 3 and the cooking utensils. At the same time, since the connecting portion 211 is arranged along the floating direction and the wire 3 is connected to the end of the connecting portion 211 in the floating direction, the extending direction of the connecting portion 211 and the connecting portion of the wire 3 and the connecting portion 211 is in the same direction as the direction of the through-port 11, which is beneficial for the edge of the through-port 11 to avoid the floating of the connecting portion 211 and avoid interference between the two, thereby further reducing the resistance of the floating heating element 2 when floating up and down, improving the smoothness of the floating heating element 2 when floating up and down, so that it can float more sensitively with the inner cover, and ensure the fitting effect of the two.

[0052] The present application does not specifically limit the connection method between the wire 3 and the end of the connecting portion 211. Preferably, refer to Figure 2 and Fig.10 The wire 3 has a body 301 and a fixing portion 302, and the fixing portion 302 is fixedly connected to the connecting portion 211 by rivets to increase the connection stability between the wire 3 and the connecting portion 211, while ensuring the conductive effect of the vertical section 31 and the connecting portion 211. In other embodiments, the wire 3 can also be connected to the connecting portion 211 by screw fixing or welding.

[0053] In a preferred embodiment, referring to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The liner 1 is provided with a cable slot 16, and a floating buffer distance is formed between the cable slot 16 and the through opening 11, and the portion of the wire 3 located within the floating buffer distance is in a relaxed state. It should be noted that the floating buffer distance is a non-zero distance, and the relaxed state is relative to the tight state, that is, the length of the wire between the cable slot 16 and the through opening 11 is greater than the straight-line distance between the cable slot 16 and the through opening 11 to reserve a margin for the wire 3 to stretch.

[0054] The relaxed wire 3 can have a large buffer margin. When the floating heating element 2 floats up and down, especially when it floats downward and causes the wire 3 to be pulled, the portion of the wire 3 located within the floating buffer spacing can be stretched to compensate for the displacement caused by the floating, preventing the wire 3 from being too tight and creating resistance to the downward movement of the floating heating element 2, thereby further improving the smoothness of the floating heating element 2 when floating up and down.

[0055] Optionally, the cable trough 16 is provided with a cable passage opening, and the wire 3 passes through the cable passage opening, so that the cable trough 16 can constrain the wire 3 to a certain extent, thereby increasing the stability of the wire 3 and making the wiring and direction of the extension section 32 more regular.

[0056] The present application does not specifically limit the structure of the wire-passing opening. Optionally, the wire-passing opening is a hole-shaped structure to prevent the wire 3 from being separated from the wire-passing opening, thereby increasing the connection stability between the wire and the wire-passing opening. Of course, in other implementation examples, the wire-passing opening can also be a C-shaped structure with one side open, so that the assembler can place the wire in the wire-passing opening.

[0057] In a specific embodiment, referring to Figure 2 The wire 3 includes a body 301 and a fixing portion 302 located at the end of the body 301. The body 301 is extended horizontally or obliquely, and at least a part of the fixing portion 302 is bent downward to connect with the end of the connecting portion 211. Such a configuration can make the body 301 in a "falling" state, thereby reducing the space occupied by the wire 3 in the vertical direction, thereby reducing the height of the pot cover assembly, so as to miniaturize the pot cover assembly.

[0058] The present application does not specifically limit the shapes of the main body 301 and the fixing portion 302. For example, in one embodiment, the main body 301 is arranged to be extended laterally by the fixing portion 302, and the fixing portion 302 is bent downward as a whole relative to the main body 301 to connect with the end of the connecting portion 211; in another embodiment, the main body 301 is arranged to be extended obliquely upward by the fixing portion 302, and the fixing portion 302 is bent downward as a whole relative to the main body 301 to connect with the end of the connecting portion 211; in yet another embodiment, the main body 301 is arranged to be extended laterally, the upper part of the fixing portion 302 close to the main body 301 is in the same direction as the main body 301, and the remaining part is bent downward relative to the main body 301 to connect with the end of the connecting portion 211.

[0059] In a preferred embodiment, referring to Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Fig.10 The conductor 3 includes a body 301 and a fixing portion 302 located at the end of the body 301 , the fixing portion 302 is connected to the end of the connecting portion, and the body 301 is provided with a vertical section 31 , the vertical section 31 is connected to the fixing portion 302 and extends along the floating direction.

[0060] Since the extension direction of the vertical section 31 is in the same direction as the floating direction, when the floating heating element 2 floats up and down, the edge of the through-port 11 can avoid the vertical section 31, and the vertical section 31 will not contact or wear the edge of the through-port 11, thereby further reducing the probability of interference between the wire 3 and the edge of the through-port 11, reducing the risk of wear of the wire 3, and increasing the service life of the wire 3, while also further reducing the resistance of the floating heating element 2 when floating up and down, and improving the smoothness of the floating heating element 2 when floating up and down.

[0061] Optionally, at least a portion of the vertical section 31 is covered with a heat shrink tube to keep the vertical section 31 in a vertical position and prevent the vertical section 31 from being too loose.

[0062] In a specific embodiment, referring to Figure 4 and Figure 7 The wire 3 also has an extension section 32 connected to the vertical section 31 and extending laterally; the vertical section 31 includes a first section 311 connected to the connecting portion 211 and extending upward, and a second section 312 connected to the first section 311 and extending downward, and the length of the second section 312 is less than the length of the first section 311.

[0063] Such an arrangement can reduce the space occupied by the extension section 31 in the vertical direction while ensuring that the vertical section 31 leaves a floating margin for the floating heating element, so as to reduce the height of the pot cover assembly and realize a miniaturized design of the pot cover assembly. In addition, only the first section 311 of the vertical section 31 of the wire 3 passes through the through opening 11, and the second section 312 is completely located above the lining cover 1, thereby reducing the number of wires 3 passing through the through opening 11 and reducing the overall thickness of the wire 3 passing through the through opening 11, thereby further reducing the probability of wear between the vertical section 31 and the edge of the through opening 11.

[0064] Optionally, the hardness of the first section 311 is greater than the hardness of the second section 312. For example, a heat shrink tube is sleeved on the outside of the first section 311 to ensure that the first section 311 is in an upwardly extended state, thereby ensuring the smoothness of the floating heating element 2 when floating up and down, and at the same time making the second section 312 easier to be bent, so that the wiring of the second section 312 and the extension section 32 is more snug, optimizing the arrangement of the wire 3, reducing the difficulty of assembling the pot cover assembly, and making the second section 312 easily deformable when the floating heating element 2 floats up and down, thereby ensuring the smoothness of the floating heating element 2 when floating up and down.

[0065] In other embodiments, the design of the second section 312 can be eliminated, so that the top of the first section 311 is directly bent horizontally and extended to form an extension section 32, so as to simplify the structure and arrangement of the wire 3 and reduce the difficulty of assembling the pot cover assembly.

[0066] The “extending downward” mentioned in the present application may mean extending downward along the vertical direction, or extending downward in a direction obliquely forming an angle with the vertical direction, and is not limited here.

[0067] In a preferred embodiment, referring to Figure 6 and Figure 7 The pot cover assembly further includes a surface cover 4 disposed above the lining cover 1, and a relief opening 41 is provided on the surface cover 4 corresponding to the vertical section 31. In this way, the surface cover 4 can be relieved at the vertical section 31, so that when the floating heating element 2 floats up and down relative to the lining cover 1, especially when floating upward, the vertical section 31 and the surface cover 4 are prevented from abutting and interfering with each other, thereby ensuring the smoothness of the floating heating element 2 when floating up and down, so that it can better maintain the fitting state with the inner cover.

[0068] Further, see Figure 7 The upper surface of the lining cover 1 is provided with a wire rib 12 corresponding to the through opening 11, and the projection of the wire rib 12 toward the surface cover 4 is located in the avoidance opening 41. The wire rib 12 can constrain the wire 3, so that the wiring and direction of the wire 3 are more regular, and the stability of the vertical section 31 is increased, so that it is stably maintained within the range of the avoidance opening 11, and the projection of the wire rib 12 toward the surface cover 4 is located in the avoidance opening 41, which also avoids the interference between the wire rib 12 and the surface cover 4, thereby further ensuring the smoothness of the floating heating element 2 when floating up and down.

[0069] Optional, see Figure 4 and Figure 7 The wire rib 12 is provided with a wire passing opening 121, and the extension section 32 passes through the wire passing opening 121, so that the wire rib 12 constrains the extension section 32, thereby increasing the stability of the wire 3, and at the same time making the wiring and direction of the extension section 32 more regular, and because the vertical section 31 extends vertically and the extension section 32 extends horizontally, the wire rib 12 used to constrain the extension section 32 is correspondingly arranged vertically, so that the wire passing opening 121 faces the horizontal direction so that the extension section 32 passes through, and the vertically extending wire rib 12 is arranged on the top surface of the lining cover 1, which is more convenient to process and less difficult, thereby reducing the processing difficulty to a certain extent and improving the production efficiency.

[0070] The present application does not specifically limit the structure of the wire-passing opening 121. Preferably, refer to Figure 4 and Figure 7 The wire-passing opening 121 is a hole-shaped structure to prevent the extension section 32 from being separated from the wire-passing opening 121 , thereby increasing the connection stability between the extension section 32 and the wire-passing opening 121 .

[0071] Preferably, a transition arc surface is provided at the edge of the wire passing opening 121, thereby reducing the wear of the edge of the wire passing opening 121 on the extension section 32, so as to ensure the service life of the wire 3, thereby increasing the service life of the pot cover assembly.

[0072] In other implementation examples, the wire passing opening 121 may also be a C-shaped structure with one side open, so that the assembler can place the extension section 32 in the wire passing opening 121 .

[0073] Further, see Figure 4 The upper surface of the lining cover 1 is provided with a supporting rib 13, and the supporting rib 13 is provided with a supporting groove 131. The extension section 32 is placed against the groove wall of the supporting groove 131, so that the groove wall of the supporting groove 131 supports the extension section 32, so that the extension section 32 will not be completely attached to the top wall of the lining cover 1, so as to reduce the resistance of the floating heating element 2 when floating downward, thereby ensuring the smoothness of the floating heating element 2 when floating downward.

[0074] In a preferred embodiment, referring to Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Fig.10 The floating heating element 2 includes a heating plate 21 disposed toward the inner cover to contact the inner cover, and the connecting portion 211 is a connecting piece disposed on the heating plate 21. Generally, the heating plate 21 itself or thereon is provided with an electrically charged heating device, and the connecting portion 211 is disposed on the heating plate 21, so as to facilitate grounding of the heating plate 21 and improve the safety of the pot cover assembly; at the same time, the connecting piece extending upward makes the connection position of the wire 3 more eye-catching, so that the assembler can quickly find the connection position of the wire 3, reduce the difficulty of assembling the pot cover assembly, and further improve the assembly efficiency of the pot cover assembly.

[0075] In a specific embodiment, referring to Figure 5 , Figure 8 and Fig.10 The floating heating element 2 includes a heating plate 21 and a thermal insulation pad 22. The heating plate 21 is provided with a plurality of fixing plates 212 along its circumference. The thermal insulation pad 22 is provided with a fixing opening 221 for the fixing plate 212 to pass through. A receiving groove 225 is provided on one side of the fixing opening 221. At least a portion of the fixing plate 212 passes through the fixing opening 221 and is bent into the receiving groove 225, so that the portion of the fixing plate 212 passing through the fixing opening 221 is hidden in the receiving groove 225.

[0076] When assembling the floating heating element 2, first align the heating plate 21 with the insulation pad 22 so that the fixing piece 212 is opposite to the corresponding fixing opening 221, and then apply pressure to the heating plate 21 in the direction of the insulation pad 22 so that part of the fixing piece 212 passes through the fixing opening 221, and then bend the fixing piece 212 so that the part of the fixing piece 212 passing through the fixing opening 221 is hidden in the accommodating groove 225, so as to reduce the height of the floating heating element 2, thereby reducing the height of the pot cover assembly, which is conducive to the miniaturization design of the pot cover assembly.

[0077] Preferably, refer to Figure 8 and Fig.10 The thermal insulation pad 22 is provided with a connection port 223 corresponding to the connection portion 211 for the vertical section 31 or the connection sheet to pass through, so that the vertical section 31 is electrically connected to the connection portion 211 .

[0078] Further, see Figure 8 and Fig. 9 The depth of the accommodating groove 225 gradually decreases in the direction approaching the fixing opening 221. Since the fixing sheet 212 can be bent, the fixing sheet 212 has a certain resilience after being bent. By gradually decreasing the depth of the accommodating groove 225 in the direction approaching the fixing opening 221, the bending angle of the fixing sheet 212 passing through the fixing opening 221 can be increased to avoid the fixing sheet 212 leaking out of the accommodating groove 225, thereby avoiding the connection sheet leaking out of the accommodating groove 225, resulting in an increase in the size of the floating heating element 2 or interference with other components.

[0079] It should be noted that, in addition to the arrangement of the receiving groove 225 on one side of the fixing opening 221 in the above-mentioned embodiment, a protrusion 222 may also be arranged on one side of the fixing opening 221, that is, the protrusion 222 replaces the design of the receiving groove 225, and at least a partial area of ​​the fixing plate 212 passes through the fixing opening 221 and rests on the protrusion 222, so as to reduce the projection size of the bent portion of the fixing plate 212 toward the thermal insulation pad 22, that is, to reduce the lateral size of the projection of the bent portion of the fixing plate 212 toward the thermal insulation pad 22, so as to avoid the situation where the bent portion of the fixing plate 212 interferes with other components to be installed on the floating heating element 2.

[0080] Better, refer to Figure 8 and Fig. 9 , the accommodating groove 225 and the protrusion 222 exist at the same time, that is, the protrusion 222 is provided on the side of the insulation pad 22 corresponding to one or more fixing ports 221, and the accommodating groove 225 is provided on the side corresponding to the remaining fixing ports 221, so as to reduce the vertical size of the floating heating element 2 while ensuring that the bent portion of the fixing plate 212 can avoid other components to be installed on the floating heating element 2, so as to miniaturize the pot cover assembly.

[0081] Further, see Figure 5 , Figure 8 and Fig. 9The heat-insulating pad 22 is provided with an installation opening 226 near the protrusion 222, and the lining cover 1 is provided with an installation sink 15 which is recessed downward corresponding to the installation opening 226. The installation sink 15 is provided with a temperature measuring component 6, which passes through the lining cover 1 and the floating heating component 2, and a sealing component 61 is provided on the outer sleeve of the temperature measuring component 6. The sealing component 61 is used to seal the gap between the temperature measuring component 6 and the lining cover 1 to prevent steam or soup from overflowing into the pot cover assembly, thereby improving the cleanliness of the pot cover assembly and improving the user experience.

[0082] The present application does not specifically limit the connection method between the temperature measuring member 6 and the mounting sink 15. Preferably, the temperature measuring member 6 is fixedly connected to the mounting sink 15 by screws to increase the connection stability between the temperature measuring member 6 and the lining cover 1, and at the same time, it is convenient for the assembler to fix the temperature measuring member 6, so as to improve the assembly efficiency of the temperature measuring member 6 and reduce the production cost of the pot cover assembly. In other embodiments, the temperature measuring member 6 can also be fixedly connected to the mounting sink 15 by a snap-on structure to reduce the number of parts required to be assembled.

[0083] In a preferred embodiment, referring to Figure 5 A accommodating cavity is formed between the heating plate 21 and the insulation pad 22, and the floating heating element 2 also includes insulation cotton 23 arranged in the accommodating cavity, so that the insulation cotton 23 insulates the insulation pad 22, thereby reducing the temperature rise of the insulation pad 22, thereby further reducing the temperature rise of the lining cover 1, so as to reduce the risk of deformation of the lining cover 1, and then ensure the service life of the pot cover assembly, so as to further improve the user experience.

[0084] In a preferred embodiment, referring to Figure 6 The pot cover assembly also includes a surface cover 4 arranged above the lining cover 1, the surface cover 4 is provided with an operation panel 42, the operation panel 42 has a power connection part, the surface cover 4 has a central axis, and the power connection part and the vertical section 31 are located on the same side of the central axis.

[0085] That is to say, the connection part 211 and the power connection part are both routed on the same side of the surface cover 4 so as to centrally arrange the wiring harness and make it more regular. At the same time, it is convenient to avoid the wiring harness and other components of the pot cover assembly so as to layout other components, making the layout of components in the pot cover assembly more reasonable, increasing the compactness of the pot cover assembly, and thus facilitating the miniaturization design of the pot cover assembly.

[0086] In a preferred embodiment, referring to Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 8The floating heating element 2 is provided with a guide column 224, and the lining cover 1 has an installation area. The installation area is provided with a guide hole 14 for the guide column 224 to pass through. The through opening 11 is arranged in the installation area, so that when the floating heating element 2 floats up and down, the cooperation between the guide column 224 and the guide hole 14 guides the connecting part 211 and the vertical section 31, increases the stability of the connecting part 211 and the vertical section 31 when they move up and down, and ensures the avoidance effect between the vertical section 31 and the edge of the through opening 11, so as to further ensure the service life of the wire 3.

[0087] In a preferred embodiment, referring to Figure 5 An elastic member 5 is disposed between the lining cover 1 and the floating heating member 2. The elastic member 5 and the guide column 224 are staggered. The elastic member 5 applies a downward elastic force to the floating heating member 2, thereby keeping the floating heating member 2 in contact with the inner cover. At the same time, the staggered arrangement of the elastic member 5 and the guide column 224 helps to process the guide column 224 and the elastic member 5 separately, thereby reducing the difficulty of designing and improving the pot cover assembly. Therefore, a recessed structure can be provided on the lining cover 1 and the floating heating member 2 at positions corresponding to the guide column 224 and the elastic member 5, so as to reduce the height of the pot cover assembly, thereby facilitating a miniaturized design of the pot cover assembly.

[0088] The present application does not specifically limit the structure of the elastic member 5. Preferably, refer to Figure 5 The elastic member 5 is a spring to ensure the floating effect of the floating heating member 2, thereby ensuring that the floating heating member 2 is in contact with the inner cover, thereby ensuring the cooking efficiency and cooking effect of the cooking utensil equipped with the pot cover assembly. In other embodiments, the elastic member 5 can also be an elastic sheet or a rubber column with elastic force.

[0089] The present application also discloses a cooking utensil, which includes a pot body and the above-mentioned pot cover assembly, the pot cover assembly and the pot body cooperate to form a cooking cavity, the pot body has a heating device located below the cooking cavity, the heating device cooperates with the floating heating element 2 to heat the cooking cavity.

[0090] Specifically, the pot body includes a shell and an inner pot located inside the shell, the heating device is located at the bottom of the inner pot, and the inner cover is provided with a sealing ring for contacting the edge of the inner pot, so that a sealed cooking cavity is formed between the inner cover and the inner pot, so as to improve the cooking effect of food and improve cooking efficiency.

[0091] It should be noted that the heating device and the floating heating element 2 mentioned here cooperate to heat the cooking cavity. The heating device and the floating heating element 2 can heat the cooking cavity separately; or they can heat the cooking cavity together; or they can intermittently heat the cooking cavity at the same time, for example, the heating device continuously heats the cooking cavity, and the floating heating element 2 intermittently heats the cooking cavity.

[0092] The cooking utensil in the present application adopts the above-mentioned pot cover assembly, and therefore also has the beneficial effects of the pot cover assembly, so the beneficial effects are not repeated here.

[0093] Anything not described in this application can be achieved by adopting or drawing on existing technologies.

[0094] 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.

[0095] The above is only an embodiment of the present application and is not intended to limit the present application. For those skilled in the art, the present application may have various changes and variations. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present application should be included in the scope of the claims of the present application.
