Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of kitchen appliances, and in particular relates to a pot cover assembly and a cooking utensil. Background Art

[0002] Cooking appliances (such as rice cookers, electric pressure cookers, etc.) usually have only one cooking cavity with a fixed volume. Although they can meet most cooking needs, there are large differences in cooking effects for cooking different types or amounts of food.

[0003] For example, when cooking soup or porridge, or when there is a large amount of food in the cooking chamber, the liquid in the cooking chamber is heated and boils, and the liquid surface is close to the pot lid, so the soup is easy to overflow from the exhaust valve of the pot lid, causing the pot to overflow. Or, when placing a steamer in the cooking chamber and cooking two dishes in one pot, the soup in the lower layer is easy to boil into the upper steamer, causing the ingredients in the steamer to be soaked, affecting the taste. At the same time, the distance between the ingredients in the upper steamer and the pot lid is also close, which easily causes the ingredients to interfere with the pot lid, causing the ingredients to be squeezed and damaged.

[0004] However, when steaming rice or when the amount of food in the cooking cavity is small, the space utilization rate in the cooking cavity is low. During the heating process, the amount of food in the cooking cavity is small and the air is large, resulting in high heat loss of the heating device and low energy efficiency, resulting in low heating efficiency and long cooking time, which increases the user's waiting time and creates a poor user experience. Utility Model Content

[0005] The utility model provides a pot cover assembly and a cooking utensil, so as to solve the problem that the heating effect and the food cooking effect are affected when cooking different amounts of food or cooking methods, resulting in a poor user experience due to the fixed cooking cavity volume of the cooking utensil.

[0012] The exhaust valve comprises a base and an upper cover, the base and the upper cover cooperate to form an exhaust chamber, and the base and the upper cover are detachably connected so as to be able to open or close the exhaust chamber.

[0013] The cover plate is provided with an air port, the cover body is provided with an air outlet, and a sealing member is provided at the air outlet. In the second installation state, the sealing member abuts and seals against the outer periphery of the air port to connect the air port with the air outlet.

[0014] The air outlet is arranged to be offset from the center of the inner cover.

[0015] The inner cover also includes a fixing frame surrounding the outer periphery of the sealing ring, the fixing frame is located between the first sealing lip and the second sealing lip, and the fixing frame and the cover plate clamp and fix the sealing ring.

[0016] The utility model also discloses a cooking utensil, comprising a pot body and the above-mentioned pot cover assembly, wherein when the inner cover is in a first installation state, the cover plate and the pot body form a first cooking cavity, and when the inner cover is in a second installation state, the cover plate and the pot body form a second cooking cavity, and the height of the first cooking cavity is less than the height of the second cooking cavity.

[0017] The pot body includes an outer pot, an inner pot placed inside the outer pot, and a removable partition placed inside the inner pot. When the partition is placed inside the inner pot, the partition divides the internal space of the inner pot into a first chamber and a second chamber located above the first chamber.

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

[0019] 1. In the utility model, the pot cover includes a cover body and an inner cover detachably fixed to the cover body, and the inner cover is used to cooperate with the pot body to form a cooking space. Among them, the cover plate of the inner cover protrudes toward the first side, and the inner cover can be installed on the cover body in both positive and negative postures, so that the height of the cooking space formed by the inner cover and the pot body is adjustable, and then the volume of the cooking space is adjustable. Specifically, when the inner cover is installed on the cover body in the first installation state, the first side faces downward. At this time, the height of the cooking space formed by it and the pot body is relatively small. The user can steam rice or cook a small amount of food in this state. At this time, the capacity of the cooking space is relatively small, the thermal efficiency is relatively high, and the heat loss is relatively low. Therefore, the heating power of the heating device can be appropriately reduced, and while reducing energy consumption, the heating efficiency can also be guaranteed, which can effectively shorten the cooking time and improve the user experience. When the inner cover is installed on the cover body in the second installation state, the second side faces downward. At this time, the cooking space formed by the inner cover and the pot body is relatively high. In this state, the user can cook soup or porridge, or cook a large amount of food, or place a steamer in the cooking space to cook two dishes in one pot. At this time, the capacity of the cooking space is relatively large, which can increase the distance from the food liquid surface to the pot cover and reduce the risk of liquid overflowing from the exhaust valve. At the same time, the position of the steamer can also be appropriately moved up to increase the distance from the lower food liquid surface to the steamer to prevent the boiling soup from surging into the steamer and soaking the food.

[0020] In addition, a sealing ring is provided at the edge of the inner cover, and the sealing ring has a first sealing lip protruding toward the first side, and a second sealing lip protruding toward the second side. When the inner cover is installed in the first installation state, the first sealing lip abuts against the pot mouth to seal, forming a cooking space. When the inner cover is installed in the second installation state, the second sealing lip abuts against the pot mouth to seal, forming a cooking space. In this way, no matter which state the inner cover is installed in, the sealing of the cooking space can be guaranteed, ensuring the reliable cooking process. At the same time, the user does not need to remove the sealing ring for adjustment, but only needs to flip the inner cover as a whole to install it, which reduces the difficulty of operation and improves the switching efficiency of the two installation states.

[0021] 2. As a preferred embodiment of the utility model, the pot cover assembly also includes an exhaust valve arranged on the second side, and the exhaust valve is detachably fixed to the cover plate. The exhaust valve is fixed on the second side and protrudes toward the second side. When the inner cover is in the first installation state, the exhaust valve is located on the upper side of the inner cover. At this time, a large space is reserved for the exhaust valve between the cover plate and the cover body, which can avoid interference between the exhaust valve and the cover body. At the same time, the exhaust valve is connected to the air outlet on the cover body for exhausting the gas in the pot. When the inner cover is in the second installation state, the exhaust valve is located in the cooking space on the lower side of the inner cover. In order to avoid the exhaust valve being soaked by food soup, the exhaust valve can be removed to ensure the availability of the cooking space. In addition, the exhaust valve is detachable, which also facilitates the cleaning of the exhaust valve and reduces the difficulty of cleaning for users.

[0022] 3. As a preferred embodiment of the utility model, the cover plate is provided with an air port, the cover body is provided with an air outlet, and a sealing member is provided at the air outlet. In the second installation state, the sealing member is in contact and sealed with the outer periphery of the air port to connect the air port and the air outlet. In the second installation state, the cooking space is larger, the distance between the food and the inner cover is also larger, and the soup below is not easy to boil to the cover plate. Then, the exhaust valve can be removed to directly connect the air port on the cover plate with the air outlet on the cover body, so as to simplify the exhaust structure, improve the exhaust efficiency, and reduce the possibility of overflow.

[0023] 4. As a preferred embodiment of the utility model, the inner cover also includes a fixing frame surrounding the outer circumference of the sealing ring, the fixing frame is located between the first sealing lip and the second sealing lip, and the fixing frame and the cover plate clamp and fix the sealing ring. The fixing frame is located between the first sealing lip and the second sealing lip, and can limit the deformation of the first sealing lip and the second sealing lip. When the first sealing lip and the second sealing lip are squeezed and deformed inward, the fixing frame can limit the two, limit the deformation of the two, and prevent the first sealing lip and the second sealing lip from excessive deformation and cause sealing failure. In addition, by clamping and fixing the sealing ring, the assembly and disassembly of the sealing ring is simpler and more convenient. The user can easily remove it for cleaning, and can quickly reinstall it, thereby improving assembly and disassembly efficiency.

[0024] 5. The utility model also discloses a cooking utensil, comprising a pot body and the above-mentioned pot cover assembly. When the inner cover is in a first installation state, the cover plate and the pot body enclose a first cooking cavity. When the inner cover is in a second installation state, the cover plate and the pot body enclose a second cooking cavity. The height of the first cooking cavity is less than the height of the second cooking cavity. The size of the cooking space inside the pot body is fixed. When the user installs the inner cover in different installation states, the height of the cooking space changes, thereby changing the volume of the cooking space. This allows users to use the cooking utensil more flexibly and provides users with more cooking options. The size of the cooking space can be flexibly adjusted according to the amount of food to be cooked and the ingredients to be cooked. While ensuring the heating efficiency, the overflow phenomenon is effectively avoided, thereby improving the user experience. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

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] like Figures 1 to 8As shown, a pot cover assembly includes a cover body 1 and an inner cover 2 detachably fixed to the cover body 1, the inner cover 2 includes a cover plate 21 and a sealing ring 22 arranged on the outer periphery of the cover plate 21, the inner cover 2 has a first side 23 and a second side 24, the cover plate 21 protrudes toward the first side 23, the sealing ring 22 has a first sealing lip 221 located on the first side 23 and a second sealing lip 222 located on the second side 24, the inner cover 2 has a first installation state with the first side 23 facing downward, and a second installation state with the second side 24 facing downward, in the first installation state, the first sealing lip 221 is in abutment with the pot body 5 for sealing, and in the second installation state, the second sealing lip 222 is in abutment with the pot body 5 for sealing.

[0048] In the utility model, the pot cover comprises a cover body 1 and an inner cover 2 detachably fixed to the cover body 1, and the inner cover 2 is used to cooperate with the pot body 5 to form a cooking space. Among them, the cover plate 21 of the inner cover 2 protrudes toward the first side 23, and the inner cover 2 can be installed on the cover body 1 in both positive and negative postures, so that the height of the cooking space formed by the inner cover 2 and the pot body 5 is adjustable, and then the volume of the cooking space is adjustable.

[0049] Specifically, when the inner cover 2 is installed on the cover body 1 in the first installation state, the first side 23 faces downward, and the cooking space formed by it and the pot body 5 is relatively small in height. The user can steam rice or cook a small amount of food in this state. At this time, the capacity of the cooking space is small, the thermal efficiency is high, and the heat loss is low. Therefore, the heating power of the heating device can be appropriately reduced, and the energy consumption can be reduced while ensuring the heating efficiency, which can effectively shorten the cooking time and improve the user experience. When the inner cover 2 is installed on the cover body 1 in the second installation state, the second side 24 faces downward, and the cooking space formed by it and the pot body 5 is relatively large in height. The user can cook soup or porridge in this state, or cook a large amount of food, or place a steamer in the cooking space to cook two dishes in one pot. At this time, the capacity of the cooking space is relatively large, which can increase the distance from the food liquid surface to the pot cover and reduce the risk of liquid overflowing from the exhaust valve 3. At the same time, the position of the steamer can also be appropriately moved up to increase the distance from the lower food liquid surface to the steamer to prevent the boiling soup from surging into the steamer and soaking the food.

[0050] In addition, a sealing ring 22 is provided at the edge of the inner cover 2. The sealing ring 22 has a first sealing lip 221 protruding toward the first side 23 and a second sealing lip 222 protruding toward the second side 24. When the inner cover 2 is installed in the first installation state, the first sealing lip 221 abuts against the pot mouth to form a cooking space. When the inner cover 2 is installed in the second installation state, the second sealing lip 222 abuts against the pot mouth to form a cooking space. In this way, no matter which state the inner cover 2 is installed in, the sealing of the cooking space can be guaranteed, ensuring the reliable cooking process. At the same time, the user does not need to remove the sealing ring 22 for adjustment. It only needs to turn the inner cover 2 over as a whole to install it, which reduces the difficulty of operation and improves the switching efficiency of the two installation states.

[0051] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, Figure 2 As shown, the pot cover assembly further includes an exhaust valve 3 disposed on the second side 24 , and the exhaust valve 3 is detachably fixed to the cover plate 21 .

[0052] The exhaust valve 3 is fixed on the second side 24 and protrudes toward the second side 24. When the inner cover 2 is in the first installation state, the exhaust valve 3 is located on the upper side of the inner cover 2. At this time, a large space is left between the cover plate 21 and the cover body 1 for the exhaust valve 3, which can avoid interference between the exhaust valve 3 and the cover body 1. At the same time, the exhaust valve 3 is connected to the air outlet 11 on the cover body 1 for exhausting the gas in the pot. When the inner cover 2 is in the second installation state, the exhaust valve 3 is located in the cooking space on the lower side of the inner cover 2. In order to avoid soaking the exhaust valve 3 with food soup, the exhaust valve 3 can be removed to ensure the availability of the cooking space. In addition, the exhaust valve 3 is detachable, which also facilitates the cleaning of the exhaust valve 3 and reduces the difficulty of cleaning for users.

[0053] Preferably, the cover plate 21 is provided with an air port 211 corresponding to the exhaust valve 3 , so that the gas in the cooking space below can pass through the air port 211 and enter the exhaust valve 3 .

[0054] Furthermore, if Figures 2 to 4 As shown, the exhaust valve 3 has an exhaust port 31, the cover body 1 is provided with an air outlet 11, and a seal 4 is provided at the air outlet 11. In the first installation state, the seal 4 abuts and seals the exhaust valve 3 to connect the air outlet 11 and the exhaust port 31.

[0055] The exhaust valve 3 has an anti-overflow structure inside. When the gas in the cooking space carries boiling liquid, bubbles, etc. into the exhaust valve 3, it collides with the internal anti-overflow structure and changes its flow direction, which helps the liquid to flow back and the bubbles to burst, so that the gas and liquid are separated. The liquid flows back into the cooking space under the action of gravity, and the gas flows upward and is discharged through the gas outlet 11. This ensures the exhaust efficiency while improving the anti-overflow effect.

[0056] Preferably, if Fig. 9 , Fig.10 As shown, the cover plate 21 is provided with a mounting groove 212 on the second side 24 , and the exhaust valve 3 is fixed in the mounting groove 212 .

[0057] The cover plate 21 is a recessed structure on the second side 24 relative to the first side 23, and a mounting groove 212 is further provided on the recessed structure for installing the exhaust valve 3, so that in the first installation state, the gap between the cover plate 21 and the cover body 1 is further increased at the mounting groove 212 for installing the exhaust valve 3, thereby avoiding interference between the exhaust valve 3 and the cover body 1. At the same time, the provision of the mounting groove 212 can also play a positioning role in the installation of the exhaust valve 3, which helps the user to quickly and accurately install the exhaust valve 3 at a preset position, avoiding deviation of the installation position of the exhaust valve 3, and affecting the sealing performance and exhaust effect.

[0058] Furthermore, if Fig. 9 As shown, the exhaust valve 3 includes a base 33 and an upper cover 34 , the base 33 and the upper cover 34 cooperate to form an exhaust chamber 32 , and the base 33 and the upper cover 34 are detachably connected to open or close the exhaust chamber 32 .

[0059] The exhaust valve 3 is a split structure. After the base 33 and the upper cover 34 are separated, the exhaust chamber 32 is exposed, and the user can directly clean the inside of the exhaust chamber 32, thereby keeping the inside of the exhaust chamber 32 clean and avoiding dirt accumulation in the exhaust chamber 32 to affect the exhaust efficiency.

[0060] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, Figure 7 , Figure 8 As shown, the cover plate 21 is provided with an air port 211, the cover body 1 is provided with an air outlet 11, and a seal 4 is provided at the air outlet 11. In the second installation state, the seal 4 abuts and seals against the outer periphery of the air port 211 to connect the air port 211 with the air outlet 11.

[0061] In the second installation state, the cooking space is larger and the distance between the food and the inner cover 2 is also larger. The soup below is not easy to boil to the cover plate 21, and the exhaust valve 3 can be removed to make the air inlet 211 on the cover plate 21 directly connected to the air outlet 11 on the cover body 1 to simplify the exhaust structure, improve the exhaust efficiency, and at the same time, the possibility of overflow is also lower.

[0062] Preferably, a plurality of retaining ribs are provided in the exhaust valve 3 to lengthen the path of the airflow when it is discharged, and can collide with the airflow or liquid to accelerate the bursting of bubbles and achieve gas-liquid separation, so that the exhaust valve 3 has a better bubble breaking and overflow prevention effect.

[0063] It is understandable that in the above two embodiments, when the inner cover 2 is installed on the cover body 1 in the first installation state, the volume of the cooking space is small, and the food in the pot is closer to the inner cover 2, so the liquid and bubbles in the pot are more likely to rise to the inner cover 2, so the exhaust valve 3 can be installed on the cover plate 21 and located on the upper side of the inner cover 2, and the retaining ribs inside the exhaust valve 3 are used to block the liquid and bubbles rising to the inside of the exhaust valve 3, thereby reducing the risk of overflowing the pot. When the inner cover 2 is installed on the cover body 1 in the second installation state, the volume of the cooking space is large, and the food in the pot is far away from the inner cover 2, so it is difficult for the pot to overflow, so in order to ensure the effective space of the cooking space, the exhaust valve 3 can be removed, so that the seal 4 directly connects the air port 211 and the air outlet 11 to ensure the air outlet efficiency.

[0064] Furthermore, if Figure 6 As shown, the air port 211 is offset from the center of the inner cover 2 .

[0065] During the cooking process, heat is concentrated in the center area of ​​the cooking space, so the liquid in the center area boils more violently, and the probability of liquid and bubbles flowing up to the inner cover 2 is greater. By misaligning the air vent 211 with the center of the inner cover 2, the air vent 211 is made to correspond to the area with lower heat in the cooking space, thereby reducing the probability of boiling liquid flowing into the air vent 211 and improving the anti-overflow effect.

[0066] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, Figure 2 , Figure 4 , Figure 7 , Figure 8 , Fig. 9 As shown, the inner cover 2 further includes a fixing frame 25 surrounding the outer circumference of the sealing ring 22 . The fixing frame 25 is located between the first sealing lip 221 and the second sealing lip 222 . The fixing frame 25 and the cover plate 21 clamp and fix the sealing ring 22 .

[0067] The fixing frame 25 is located between the first sealing lip 221 and the second sealing lip 222, and can limit the deformation of the first sealing lip 221 and the second sealing lip 222. When the first sealing lip 221 and the second sealing lip 222 are squeezed and deformed inward, the fixing frame 25 can limit the deformation of the two, and prevent the first sealing lip 221 and the second sealing lip 222 from excessive deformation and causing sealing failure. In addition, by clamping and fixing the sealing ring 22, the assembly and disassembly of the sealing ring 22 is simpler and more convenient. The user can easily disassemble it for cleaning, and can quickly reassemble it, thereby improving assembly and disassembly efficiency.

[0068] It should be noted that the fixing frame 25 can be integrally formed with the cover plate 21 or can be separately formed. For example, the cover plate 21 is made of metal and the fixing frame 25 is made of plastic to reduce the processing difficulty and save costs.

[0069] The utility model also discloses a cooking utensil, comprising a pot body 5 and the above-mentioned pot cover assembly. When the inner cover 2 is in a first installation state, the cover plate 21 and the pot body 5 form a first cooking cavity 53. When the inner cover 2 is in a second installation state, the cover plate 21 and the pot body 5 form a second cooking cavity 54. The height of the first cooking cavity 53 is less than the height of the second cooking cavity 54.

[0070] The size of the cooking space inside the pot body 5 is fixed. When the user installs the inner cover 2 in different installation states, the height of the cooking space changes, thereby changing the volume of the cooking space. This allows users to use the cooking appliance more flexibly, providing users with more cooking options. The size of the cooking space can be flexibly adjusted according to the amount of food to be cooked and the different cooking ingredients, thereby effectively avoiding overflow while ensuring heating efficiency and improving the user experience.

[0071] Preferably, if Figure 3 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 As shown, the pot body 5 includes an outer pot 51, an inner pot 52 placed inside the outer pot 51, and a removable partition 55 placed inside the inner pot 52. When the partition 55 is placed inside the inner pot 52, the partition 55 divides the internal space of the inner pot 52 into a first chamber 541 and a second chamber 542 located above the first chamber 541.

[0072] The partition 55 divides the cooking space inside the inner pot 52 into two layers, so that food can be placed separately and cooked at the same time. For example, porridge can be cooked in the first chamber 541 of the lower layer, and steamed buns can be steamed in the second chamber 542 of the upper layer. In this way, multiple ingredients can be cooked in one operation, improving the user experience.

[0073] When cooking with the separator 55, the inner cover 2 can be installed on the cover body 1 in the second installation state. At this time, the cooking space inside the inner pot 52 has a larger capacity, and the separator 55 can be appropriately moved upward to increase the distance from the food liquid surface in the first chamber 541 to the separator 55, so as to prevent the boiling soup from surging into the separator 55 and soaking the food in the second chamber 542. At the same time, the cover plate 21 is recessed upward, which can also avoid the food in the second chamber 542 and avoid squeezing the food in the second chamber 542.

[0074] The parts not described in the present invention can be realized by adopting or drawing on the existing technology.

[0075] 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.

[0076] The above description is only an embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. For those skilled in the art, the present invention may have various modifications and variations. Any modification, equivalent substitution, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present invention shall be included in the scope of the claims of the present invention.
