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 also 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, thereby facilitating the heating element to heat the inner cover.

[0003] Since the heating element needs to float up and down relative to the lining cover, there needs to be a certain gap between the peripheral side of the heating element and the side wall of the sink where the heating element is installed, so that the user can see the top of the lining cover through this gap, which has a poor visual effect and reduces the grade of the product; and if the overall gap is made smaller, although the visual effect of the pot cover can be improved, it will affect the smoothness of the heating element floating up and down. At the same time, when the cooking utensil is cooking, the steam in the cooking cavity can easily pass through the gap and directly reach the inner side of the top wall of the lining cover to condense. The condensed water drips onto the heating element and may enter the heating element from the top and damage the heating element, thereby affecting the service life of the cooking utensil.

[0004] There is a solution in the prior art to seal the gap by means of a sealing ring or other components. Although this can block the steam, in order to ensure the sealing in the gap, the sealing ring or other components need to abut against the lining cover. This arrangement increases the friction resistance between the heating element and the lining cover, which also affects the smoothness of the floating heating element when it floats up and down. Utility Model Content

[0005] The present application provides a pot cover assembly and a cooking utensil, so as to improve the visual effect of the pot cover while ensuring the smooth up and down floating of the heating element, and to ensure the service life of the cooking utensil.

[0006] The technical solution adopted in this application is:

[0007] A pot cover assembly comprises a lining cover, an inner cover and a floating heating element arranged between the lining cover and the inner cover, wherein the floating heating element can float up and down relative to the lining cover to contact the inner cover, the floating heating element comprises a main body and laterally protruding shielding ribs, a first gap is provided between the peripheral side of the main body and the lining cover, the upward projection of the shielding rib covers the first gap, and a second gap is provided between the shielding rib and the lining cover.

[0008] The pot cover assembly described in this application also includes the following additional technical features:

[0009] The lining cover has an installation groove for installing the floating heating element, the first gap is formed between the main body and the side wall of the installation groove, the side wall of the installation groove is provided with a matching notch corresponding to the shielding rib, and the second gap is formed between the side wall of the shielding rib and the inner wall of the matching notch.

[0010] The depth of the installation groove is H1, and the thickness of the shielding rib is H2, wherein H2<1 / 2H1.

[0011] The shielding rib is located below the lining cover, and the second gap is formed between the top wall of the shielding rib and the bottom wall of the lining cover.

[0012] The width D1 of the first gap and the width D2 of the second gap satisfy: D1>D2.

[0013] The first gap extends along the vertical direction, and the second gap is staggered with the first gap.

[0014] The body includes a heat-generating portion and a heat-insulating portion, the heat-generating portion protrudes toward the inner cover to contact the inner cover, and the shielding rib is arranged on the heat-insulating portion.

[0015] An elastic member and a guide member are also arranged between the lining cover and the floating heating member, and the elastic member and the guide member are staggered.

[0016] The guide member is arranged on the floating heating member, the lining cover is provided with a guide hole corresponding to the guide member, and the guide member is passed through the guide hole to position the floating heating member.

[0017] The present application also discloses a cooking utensil, comprising a pot body and a pot cover assembly as described above, wherein the pot cover assembly cooperates with the pot body to form a cooking cavity, the pot body is provided with a heating device below the cooking cavity, and the heating device and the floating heating element cooperate to heat the cooking cavity.

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

[0019] 1. The pot cover assembly in the present application includes a lining cover, an inner cover, and a floating heating element arranged between the lining cover and the inner cover. The floating heating element can float up and down relative to the lining cover to contact the inner cover. The floating heating element includes a body and a laterally protruding shielding rib. A first gap is provided between the peripheral side of the body and the lining cover. The upward projection of the shielding rib covers the first gap. A second gap is provided between the shielding rib and the lining cover. When a user observes the pot cover assembly, the shielding rib can shield the first gap, so that the user cannot see the first gap, and visually weakens the user's perception of the gap. That is, the user cannot directly see the top inner wall of the lining cover, thereby improving the pot cover assembly. When the cooking utensil equipped with the pot cover assembly is cooking, the steam in the cooking cavity moves upward, and the shielding ribs can block the steam, so that the steam cannot directly flow upward into the first gap. The first gap, the second gap and the shielding ribs make the movement path of the steam more tortuous, and the steam is more likely to contact with the entity forming the gap during the movement, so that the steam can be condensed in advance before reaching the top wall of the lining cover, avoiding the situation that the steam directly reaches the inner side of the top wall of the lining cover, thereby reducing the probability of damage to the floating heating element, ensuring the service life of the cooking utensil and reducing the cleaning pressure of the user. At the same time, although the shielding ribs protrude relative to the body, due to the existence of the second gap, the shielding ribs and the lining cover do not contact each other, which greatly reduces the friction resistance between the two, thereby ensuring the smoothness of the floating heating element floating up and down and the cooking effect of the cooking utensil. In addition, since the first gap is blocked by the shielding ribs, the width of the first gap can be kept at the original size, or the width of the first gap can be appropriately increased, which is conducive to further increasing the smoothness of the floating heating element when floating up and down.

[0020] 2. As a preferred embodiment of the present application, the lining cover has a mounting groove for mounting the floating heating element, a first gap is formed between the main body and the side wall of the mounting groove, the side wall of the mounting groove is provided with a matching notch corresponding to the shielding rib, and a second gap is formed between the side wall of the shielding rib and the inner wall of the matching notch, so that the movement path of the steam is more tortuous, and the steam can collide with the inner wall of the matching notch and condense when moving upward in the second gap, which not only reduces the kinetic energy of the steam to continue to move upward, so that the steam cannot continue to move upward into the first gap, but also accelerates the condensation of the steam, prompting more steam to condense into condensed water in the second gap, so as to further avoid the situation where the steam moves to the inner side of the top wall of the lining cover, thereby further ensuring the service life of the floating heating element and the cooking appliance.

[0021] 3. As a preferred embodiment of the present application, the depth of the installation groove is H1, the thickness of the shielding rib is H2, H2<1 / 2H1, so that the second gap has a smaller depth, thereby further visually weakening the user's perception of the gap, so as to further enhance the visual effect of the pot cover assembly and improve the user's experience. At the same time, the height of the matching notch is reduced, and the influence of the matching notch on the structural strength of the lining cover is reduced, so as to ensure the structural strength of the lining cover as much as possible, so as to reduce the risk of deformation of the lining cover when affected by high temperature, and thus ensure the service life of the pot cover assembly. In addition, controlling the depth of the second gap can also achieve the effect of facilitating the user to clean the second gap, so as to improve the easy cleanability of the pot cover assembly and the user's experience.

[0022] 4. As a preferred embodiment of the present application, the width D1 of the first gap and the width D2 of the second gap satisfy: D1>D2, the width of the first gap is larger, that is, the gap between the circumference of the main body and the lining cover is larger, which is conducive to improving the smoothness of the floating heating element when floating up and down, and facilitates the floating heating element to maintain contact with the inner cover, thereby ensuring the heating effect of the floating heating element on the inner cover; at the same time, the width of the second gap is smaller, that is, the gap between the shielding rib and the lining cover is smaller, which can make it more difficult for the steam moving upward in the pot to enter the second gap, thereby further reducing the probability of steam entering the first gap, and ensuring the service life of the floating heating element and the cooking utensil.

[0023] 5. As a preferred embodiment of the present application, the main body includes a heating part and a heat insulating part, the heating part protrudes toward the inner cover to contact the inner cover, and the shielding ribs are arranged on the heat insulating part. When the floating heating element is working, the heating part heats the inner cover to increase the temperature of the inner cover, and the heat insulating part is used to insulate the heating part, and its temperature is relatively low. In the process of the floating heating element floating up and down, the shielding ribs are closer to the lining cover. By arranging the shielding ribs on the heat insulating part, the temperature of the shielding ribs is also relatively low, thereby reducing the heat transferred from the shielding ribs to the lining cover, thereby reducing the temperature rise of the lining cover, avoiding the problem of possible deformation of the lining cover due to high temperature, and thereby increasing the service life of the pot cover assembly.

[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", "radial", "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 A pot cover assembly comprises a lining cover 1, an inner cover 2 and a floating heating element 3 arranged between the lining cover 1 and the inner cover 2, the floating heating element 3 can float up and down relative to the lining cover 1 to contact the inner cover 2, the floating heating element 3 comprises a body 31 and a laterally protruding shielding rib 32, a first gap 11 is defined between the circumference of the body 31 and the lining cover 1, the upward projection of the shielding rib 32 covers the first gap 11, and a second gap 121 is defined between the shielding rib 32 and the lining cover 1.

[0048] When the user observes the pot cover assembly, the shielding rib 32 shields the first gap 11 so that the user cannot see the first gap 11, which visually weakens the user's perception of the gap, that is, the user cannot directly see the top inner wall of the lining cover 1, thereby improving the visual effect of the pot cover assembly. When the cooking utensil equipped with the pot cover assembly is cooking, the steam in the cooking cavity moves upward, and the shielding rib 32 can block the steam so that the steam cannot directly flow into the first gap 11. The first gap 11, the second gap 121 and the shielding rib 32 make the movement path of the steam more tortuous, and the steam is more likely to contact the entity forming the gap during the movement, so that the steam can be condensed in advance before reaching the top of the lining cover 1, avoiding the situation where the steam directly reaches the inner side of the top wall of the lining cover 1, thereby reducing the risk of damage to the floating heating element 3, ensuring the service life of the cooking utensil and reducing the cleaning pressure of the user. At the same time, although the shielding rib 32 protrudes relative to the body 31, the shielding rib 32 and the lining cover 1 do not contact each other due to the existence of the second gap 121, which greatly reduces the friction resistance between the two, thereby ensuring the smoothness of the floating heating element 3 floating up and down, and ensuring the cooking efficiency and cooking effect of the cooking utensil. In addition, since the first gap 11 is shielded by the shielding rib 32, the width of the first gap 11 can maintain the original size, or the width of the first gap 11 can be appropriately increased, which is conducive to further increasing the smoothness of the floating heating element 3 when floating up and down.

[0049] It should be noted that the “upward” mentioned above refers to the description when the pot cover assembly is in a horizontal state, that is, the upward projection of the shielding rib 32 refers to the upward projection of the shielding rib 32 when the pot cover assembly is in a horizontal state, that is, the projection of the shielding rib 32 toward the lining cover 1 blocks the first gap 11.

[0050] The present application does not specifically limit the structure of the shielding rib 32. Preferably, refer to Figure 3 and Figure 7 , the shielding rib 32 is arranged along the circumference of the body 31, that is, the shielding rib 32 is an annular structure to increase the shielding effect of the shielding rib 32 on the first gap 11, thereby ensuring the visual effect of the pot cover assembly; at the same time, the shielding rib 32 increases the steam blocking effect, thereby further reducing the probability of steam moving to the inner side of the top wall of the liner 1, so as to further ensure the service life of the floating heating element 3; in addition, the shielding rib 32 can also increase the structural strength of the body 31 to avoid the possible deformation risk of the floating heating element 3. Of course, in other embodiments, the shielding rib 32 is arranged at intervals along the circumference of the body 31 in multiple sections.

[0051] The present application does not specifically limit the connection method between the shielding rib 32 and the body 31. Preferably, the shielding rib 32 and the body 31 are integrally formed to increase the connection stability between the shielding rib 32 and the body 31, thereby ensuring the steam blocking effect of the shielding rib 32, further ensuring the service life of the floating heating element 3, improving the user experience, and at the same time reducing the number of parts required to assemble the pot cover assembly, thereby improving the assembly efficiency of the pot cover assembly and reducing the assembly cost of the pot cover assembly. In other embodiments, the shielding rib 32 can also be connected to the body 31 by other means such as glue, fasteners or a clamping structure.

[0052] The present application does not specifically limit the position of the second gap 121, and it can adopt any one of the following implementations:

[0053] Embodiment 1. In this embodiment, referring to Figures 1 to 6 The lining cover 1 has a mounting groove 12 for mounting the floating heating element 3, a first gap 11 is formed between the body 31 and the side wall of the mounting groove 12, a matching notch 122 is provided on the side wall of the mounting groove 12 corresponding to the shielding rib 32, and a second gap 121 is formed between the side wall of the shielding rib 32 and the inner wall of the matching notch 122.

[0054] That is to say, the second gap 121 is located on the side of the shielding rib 32, and at least a part of the shielding rib 32 is located in the matching notch 122, so that the movement path of the steam is more tortuous, and the steam can collide with the inner wall of the matching notch 122 and condense when moving upward in the second gap 121, which not only reduces the kinetic energy of the steam moving upward, so that the steam cannot continue to move upward into the first gap 11, but also accelerates the condensation of the steam, causing more steam to condense into condensed water in the second gap 121, so as to further avoid the situation where the steam moves to the inner side of the top wall of the lining cover 1, thereby further ensuring the service life of the floating heating element 3 and the cooking utensil.

[0055] The present application does not specifically limit the form of the shielding rib 32 and the matching notch 122. Preferably, refer to Figure 2 and Figure 6 The cross-sections of the shielding rib 32 and the matching notch 122 are rectangular, so that the second gap has a vertical section and a horizontal section. When the steam moves from the vertical section to the horizontal section, it will hit the top wall of the matching notch 122, which has a better effect of early condensation and reducing kinetic energy. Of course, the cross-sections of the shielding rib 32 and the matching notch 122 can also be trapezoidal or other shapes, and those skilled in the art can choose according to actual conditions.

[0056] The present application does not specifically limit the relationship between the thickness of the shielding rib 32 and the depth of the mounting groove 12. Preferably, refer to Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 , the depth of the mounting groove 12 is H1, and the thickness of the shielding rib 32 is H2, wherein H1 and H2 satisfy: H2<1 / 2H1, so that the second gap 121 has a smaller depth, thereby further visually weakening the user's perception of the gap, so as to further enhance the visual effect of the pot cover assembly, thereby enhancing the user's experience. At the same time, in this way, the height of the matching notch 122 is reduced, and the influence of the matching notch 122 on the structural strength of the lining cover 1 is reduced, thereby ensuring the structural strength of the lining cover 1 as much as possible, so as to reduce the risk of deformation of the lining cover 1 when it is affected by high temperature, thereby ensuring the service life of the pot cover assembly. In addition, controlling the depth of the second gap 121 can also achieve the effect of facilitating the user to clean the second gap 121, so as to improve the easy cleanability of the pot cover assembly and the user's experience.

[0057] It should be noted that the thickness of the shielding rib 32 mentioned above refers to the dimension of the shielding rib 32 in a direction parallel to the depth of the mounting groove 12, that is, the dimension of the shielding rib 32 in a vertical direction when the pot cover assembly is buckled onto the pot body.

[0058] In a preferred embodiment, reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 , the shielding rib 32 is located at the lower end of the body 31. During use, after the user installs the inner cover, the floating heating element will float downward under the action of gravity or the elastic member. The above arrangement makes it easier for the shielding rib 32 and the matching notch 122 to move away from each other when the floating heating element floats downward, thereby improving the smoothness of the floating heating element when floating downward.

[0059] Better, refer to Figure 2 The peripheral side surface of the body 31 is inclined from bottom to top toward the center of the body 31, and the side wall of the mounting groove 12 is inclined corresponding to the peripheral side surface of the body 31, so that the width of the first gap 11 remains consistent from bottom to top to ensure the smoothness of the floating heating element 3 when floating up and down. At the same time, the size of the top end of the body 31 is reduced so that the floating heating element 3 can be assembled into the mounting groove 12, and the area of ​​the bottom opening of the mounting groove 12 is increased to further achieve the effect of facilitating the assembly of the floating heating element 3, thereby improving the assembly effect of the pot cover assembly.

[0060] Embodiment 2: In this embodiment, the shielding rib 32 is located below the lining cover 1 , and a second gap 121 is formed between the top wall of the shielding rib 32 and the bottom wall of the lining cover 1 .

[0061] Specifically, the lining cover 1 has a mounting groove 12 for mounting the floating heating element 3, the plane where the edge of the mounting groove 12 is located is the mounting plane, and the bottom wall of the lining cover 1 mentioned above refers to the mounting plane. The opening of the mounting groove 12 faces downward, the body of the floating heating element 3 is located in the mounting groove 12, the shielding rib 32 is located outside the mounting groove 12 and protrudes laterally, and a second gap 121 is formed between the top wall of the shielding rib 32 and the mounting plane, that is, the second gap 121 is located at the top of the shielding rib 32, so that the user cannot see the first gap 11 and the second gap 121, and the second gap 121 is set at an angle with the first gap 11, so that the movement path of the steam is more tortuous, reducing the situation where condensed water drips onto the floating heating element 3, thereby ensuring the service life of the floating heating element 3.

[0062] Optionally, the bottom wall of the lining cover 1 is provided with an annular rib protruding downwardly and surrounding the shielding rib 32 , and the annular rib and the shielding rib 32 are gap-matched to further make the movement path of the steam more tortuous, thereby further ensuring the service life of the floating heating element 3 .

[0063] In a preferred embodiment, referring to Figure 2 and Figure 6 , the width D1 of the first gap 11 and the width D2 of the second gap 121 satisfy: D1>D2, the width of the first gap 11 is larger, that is, the gap between the peripheral side of the body 31 and the lining cover 1 is larger, thereby ensuring the smoothness of the floating heating element 3 when floating up and down, which is conducive to keeping the floating heating element 3 in contact with the inner cover 2, and ensuring the heating effect of the floating heating element 3 on the inner cover 2; at the same time, the width of the second gap 121 is smaller, that is, the gap between the shielding rib 32 and the lining cover 1 is smaller, which can make it difficult for the steam moving upward in the pot to enter the second gap 121, thereby further reducing the probability of steam entering the first gap 11, and ensuring the service life of the floating heating element 3 and the cooking utensil.

[0064] In a preferred embodiment, referring to Figure 2 and Figure 6 The first gap 11 extends in the vertical direction, and the second gap 121 is staggered with the first gap 11 to make the movement path of the steam more tortuous, so that the steam condenses in advance at the second gap 121 or at the connection between the second gap 121 and the first gap 11, so as to prevent the condensed water from falling to the top of the floating heating element 3, thereby ensuring the service life of the floating heating element 3.

[0065] It should be noted that the second gap 121 can be extended in the vertical direction as in the above embodiment 1; it can also be extended in the radial direction of the main body 31 as in the above embodiment 2, or there is an angle between the first gap 11 and the second gap 121 so that the first gap 11 and the second gap 121 are staggered.

[0066] In a preferred embodiment, referring to Figure 3 , Figure 6 and Fig.10 The main body 31 includes a heating portion 311 and a heat insulating portion 312 . The heating portion 311 protrudes toward the inner cover 2 to contact the inner cover 2 , and the shielding rib 32 is disposed on the heat insulating portion 312 .

[0067] When the floating heating element 3 is working, the heating portion 311 heats the inner cover 2 to increase the temperature of the inner cover 2, and the heat insulating portion 312 is used to insulate the heating portion 311, and its temperature is relatively low. In the process of the floating heating element 3 floating up and down, the shielding rib 32 is relatively close to the lining cover 1. By arranging the shielding rib 32 on the heat insulating portion 312, the temperature of the shielding rib 32 is also relatively low, which can reduce the heat transferred from the shielding rib 32 to the lining cover 1, thereby further reducing the temperature rise of the lining cover 1, so as to reduce the risk of deformation of the lining cover due to high temperature, thereby increasing the service life of the pot cover assembly.

[0068] The present application does not specifically limit the relative position of the shielding rib 32 and the heat insulating portion 312. Preferably, the shielding rib 32 is disposed at the lower end of the heat insulating portion 312 to ensure the shielding effect of the shielding rib 32 on the first gap 11, thereby ensuring the visual effect of the pot cover assembly. In other embodiments, the shielding rib 32 can also be disposed in the middle section of the heat insulating portion 312, which can also ensure the visual effect of the pot cover assembly.

[0069] The present application does not specifically limit the connection method between the heating part 311 and the heat insulating part 312. Figure 7 , Figure 8 , Fig. 9 and Fig.10 A plurality of bendable connecting pieces 314 are arranged along the circumference of the edge of the heating portion 311, a connecting port 315 is arranged for the connecting piece 314 to pass through the heat insulating portion 312, a receiving groove 316 is arranged on the inner side of the connecting port 315, and the portion of the connecting piece 314 passing through the connecting port 315 is bent and arranged and located in the receiving groove 316. On the one hand, the fixed connection between the heating portion 311 and the heat insulating portion 312 is realized, and on the other hand, the portion of the connecting piece 314 passing through the connecting port 315 is hidden in the receiving groove 316, so as to reduce the height of the floating heating element 3, and then reduce the space occupied by the floating heating element 3, thereby reducing the height of the lining cover 1, so as to miniaturize the pot cover assembly.

[0070] Better, refer to Figure 7 and Figure 8The depth of the accommodating groove 316 gradually decreases in the direction approaching the connecting port 315. Since the connecting piece 314 can be bent, the connecting piece 314 has a certain resilience after being bent. By gradually decreasing the depth of the accommodating groove 316 in the direction approaching the connecting port 315, the bending angle of the connecting piece 314 passing through the connecting port 315 can be increased to avoid the connecting piece 314 leaking out of the accommodating groove 316, thereby avoiding the connecting piece 314 leaking out of the accommodating groove 316, which will cause the size of the floating heating element 3 to increase or interfere with other components.

[0071] Further, see Figure 7 and Figure 8 The heat insulation part 312 is provided with an avoidance opening 317, and the connecting piece 314 close to the avoidance opening 317 is a fixed piece and the accommodating groove 316 on the inner side of the corresponding connecting opening 315 is cancelled, and a protrusion 318 is provided between the corresponding connecting opening 315 and the avoidance opening 317, so that the part of the connecting piece 314 passing through the connecting opening 315 is bent and rests on the protrusion 318, so that the projection of the bent part of the connecting piece 314 toward the heat insulation part 312 is located outside the avoidance opening 317, and then the bent part of the connecting piece 314 is misaligned with the avoidance opening 317, so as to achieve the effect of facilitating the installation of other components.

[0072] In other embodiments, the heat insulating portion 312 may also be fixedly connected to the heating portion 311 by means of fasteners, such as screws.

[0073] Optional, see Figure 3 , Figure 6 and Fig.10 A accommodating cavity is formed between the heating portion 311 and the insulating portion 312, and insulating cotton 313 is arranged in the accommodating cavity, so that the insulating cotton 313 insulates the insulating portion 312, thereby further reducing the temperature rise of the insulating portion 312, thereby further reducing the temperature rise of the lining cover 1, and further reducing the risk of possible deformation of the lining cover 1, thereby ensuring the service life of the pot cover assembly, so as to further improve the user experience.

[0074] In a preferred embodiment, referring to Figure 7 and Fig.10An elastic member 4 and a guide member 5 are also provided between the lining cover 1 and the floating heating member 3. The elastic member 4 and the guide member 5 are staggered. The elastic member 4 applies a downward elastic force to the floating heating member 3, thereby keeping the floating heating member 3 in contact with the inner cover 2. At the same time, the guide member 5 guides the floating heating member 3 to increase the stability of the floating heating member 3 when floating up and down. In addition, the staggered arrangement of the elastic member 4 and the guide member 5 helps to process the guide member 5 and the elastic member 4 separately, reducing the difficulty of designing and improving the pot cover assembly. Then, a recess or other structure can be provided on the lining cover 1 or the floating heating member 3 at the position corresponding to the guide member 5 and the elastic member 4, so as to reduce the height of the pot cover assembly, thereby helping to design the pot cover assembly in a miniaturized manner.

[0075] Better, refer to Figure 7 and Fig.10 Multiple elastic members 4 and guide members 5 are arranged along the circumference of the floating heating member 3 to increase the elastic force that the elastic member 4 can exert on the floating heating member 3, thereby ensuring the heating effect of the floating heating member 3 on the inner cover 2, and at the same time increasing the guiding points of the guide member 5 on the floating heating member 3, further increasing the positioning effect and guiding effect of the floating heating member 3.

[0076] The present application does not specifically limit the structure of the elastic member 4. Preferably, refer to Fig.10 The elastic member 4 is a spring to ensure the floating effect of the floating heating member 3, thereby ensuring that the floating heating member 3 is in contact with the inner cover 2, thereby ensuring the cooking efficiency and cooking effect of the cooking utensil equipped with the pot cover assembly. In other embodiments, the elastic member 4 can also be an elastic sheet or a rubber column with elastic force.

[0077] In a preferred embodiment, referring to Figure 4 , Figure 7 and Fig.10 The guide member 5 is arranged on the floating heating member 3, and the lining cover 1 is provided with a guide hole 13 corresponding to the guide member 5. The guide member 5 is penetrated through the guide hole 13 to position the floating heating member 3, thereby making the width of the first gap 11 consistent along the circumference of the body 31, and at the same time making the width of the second gap 121 consistent along the circumference of the shielding rib 32, thereby ensuring the shielding effect of the shielding rib 32 on the first gap 11, so as to further enhance the visual effect of the pot cover assembly, and further enhance the user experience.

[0078] In a preferred embodiment, referring to Fig.10The pot cover assembly also includes a temperature measuring component 6. The lining cover 1 is recessed downwardly corresponding to the avoidance opening 317 and is provided with an installation sink 14. The temperature measuring component 6 is arranged on the installation sink 14 and passes through the lining cover 1 and the floating heating component 3. 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 avoid overflow of steam, soup, etc., thereby improving the cleanliness of the pot cover assembly and improving the user experience.

[0079] The present application does not specifically limit the connection method between the temperature measuring member 6 and the mounting sink 14. Preferably, the temperature measuring member 6 is fixedly connected to the mounting sink 14 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 14 by a snap-on structure to reduce the number of parts required to be assembled.

[0080] The present application also discloses a cooking utensil, which includes a pot body and the above-mentioned pot cover assembly, the pot cover assembly cooperates with the pot body to form a cooking cavity, the pot body is provided with a heating device below the cooking cavity, the heating device and the floating heating element 3 cooperate to heat the cooking cavity.

[0081] 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 2 is provided with a sealing ring 21 for contacting the edge of the inner pot, so that a sealed cooking cavity is formed between the inner cover 2 and the inner pot, so as to improve the cooking effect of food and improve cooking efficiency.

[0082] It should be noted that the heating device and the floating heating element 3 mentioned here cooperate to heat the cooking cavity. The heating device and the floating heating element 3 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 3 intermittently heats the cooking cavity.

[0083] 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.

[0084] The present application does not specifically limit the connection mode between the pot cover assembly and the pot body. Preferably, the pot cover assembly is hinged to the pot body, that is, the pot cover assembly and the pot body are inseparable. In other embodiments, the pot cover assembly is connected to the pot body in a removable manner, that is, the pot cover assembly and the pot body are separable, so that the user can clean the pot cover assembly separately.
