[0072] The utility model provides a cooking utensil, which comprises a pot body and a cover body. The pot body has a cylindrical inner pot storage part. The inner pot can be fixedly arranged at the inner pot storage part, or can be freely placed in the inner pot storage part or taken out from the inner pot storage part to facilitate the cleaning of the inner pot. The inner pot is usually made of metal material and has a circular opening on the upper surface for holding materials to be heated, such as rice, soup, etc. The pot body includes a heating device for heating the inner pot, such as a heating plate, to heat the inner pot.

[0073] It can be understood that the cooking utensil according to the present invention can be an electric rice cooker, an electric pressure cooker or other cooking utensil, and the cooking utensil can have various functions such as cooking porridge in addition to the function of cooking rice.

[0074] The cover has a shape that is substantially corresponding to the pot body. The cover can be opened and closed on the pot body. Specifically, it is pivotally connected to the pot body through a pivot shaft and can freely pivot between a closed position and an open position relative to the pot body around a pivot axis where the pivot shaft is located, so as to facilitate the closing and opening of the pot body. When the cover is closed on the pot body, it covers the inner pot and forms a cooking space between the inner pot and the cover. The cover is usually also provided with a pot mouth sealing ring 40, which can be made of, for example, a rubber material, and is arranged between the cover and the inner pot to seal the cooking space when the cover is in the closed state.

[0075] The cover body may include a liner 10, a face cover assembly located on the upper side or the outer side of the liner 10, and a heat insulation assembly located on the lower side or the inner side of the liner 10. The face cover assembly may be mounted to the liner 10 by other suitable means such as snaps or fasteners, and the face cover assembly covers the outside of the liner 10. The face cover assembly includes a face cover 60 and a face cover decorative sheet 50. The heat insulation assembly may be detachably mounted to the liner 10 by other suitable means such as snaps or fasteners. Optionally, the heat insulation assembly includes a heat insulation member 20 and a heat preservation board 70. The heat insulation member 20 is disposed on the lower side of the liner 10 and the upper side of the heat preservation board 70.

[0076] The cover body also includes a steam channel component. The steam channel component can form a steam channel that connects the external environment with the cooking space. Optionally, the liner cover is provided with an air outlet, the steam channel component is mounted to the air outlet, and an air outlet sealing ring 80 is provided between the steam channel component and the air outlet.

[0077] It should be noted that the directional terms used in this article to describe the various components and parts of the cover body, such as "upper", "lower", "above", "below", "upper side", "lower side", "upward", "downward", "upward", "downward", etc., are relative to the cover body in a horizontally placed and closed state.

[0078] like Figure 1 , Figure 4 , Figures 6 to 13 As shown, a temperature measuring element 30 is disposed in the cover. The temperature measuring element 30 is a precision instrument. In a cooking utensil, the accuracy of the temperature measuring element 30 is directly related to the temperature control of the cooking process, thereby affecting the quality and safety of the cooking result. Any slight position movement or external interference may affect the accuracy of the temperature measurement of the temperature measuring element 30, so it is indeed necessary to ensure its stability during use.

[0079] The existing temperature measuring element 30 is fastened by means of a buckle or a screw when assembling. In order to ensure that the temperature measuring element 30 does not loosen or accidentally fall out during use, the buckle or screw is usually designed to have a high degree of fastening. This design requires a large force to be applied during installation or disassembly, increases the difficulty of disassembly, and may damage the liner 10 or other components during disassembly.

[0080] exist Figure 1 to Figure 2 In the illustrated embodiment, the lining 10 has an upper limit portion, and the thermal insulation 20 has a lower limit portion. Part of the temperature measuring element 30 is clamped between the upper limit portion and the lower limit portion. The upper limit portion of the cover body lining 10 and the lower limit portion of the thermal insulation 20 together constitute a clamping space for the temperature measuring element 30, ensuring that the temperature measuring element 30 can be stably placed in a preset position. The temperature measuring element 30 can be removed or installed by separating the thermal insulation 20 from the lining 10. The setting of the upper limit portion and the lower limit portion allows the temperature measuring element 30 to be installed and removed as an independent module. Optionally, the temperature measuring element 30 can be first connected to the thermal insulation 20 through the lower limit portion, and the temperature measuring element 30 and the thermal insulation 20 can form a component as a whole. When assembling the cover body, the component formed by the two is assembled together to the lining 10, and the assembly efficiency is high.

[0081] like Figure 2 As shown, the heat insulating member 20 is provided with a lower communicating hole 21 , and the temperature measuring member 30 is passed through the lower communicating hole 21 .

[0082] In one example, the periphery of the lower connecting hole 21 serves as the lower limit portion. Optionally, the radial dimension of at least part of the temperature measuring element 30 is larger than the aperture of the lower connecting hole 21, and when the temperature measuring element 30 passes through the lower connecting hole 21, a part of it will be stuck or restricted above the lower connecting hole 21. Specifically, the temperature measuring element 30 abuts against the upper end surface of the thermal insulation element 20.

[0083] In one example, a first convex portion 22 is provided on the periphery of the lower communicating hole 21 along the height direction DH of the cover body, and the first convex portion 22 serves as a lower limit portion. The provision of the first convex portion 22 enhances the strength of the lower communicating hole 21 .

[0084] According to the above embodiment, when installing, the temperature measuring element 30 only needs to be passed through the lower connecting hole 21, and the temperature measuring element 30 can be snapped onto the top of the heat insulating element 20. When disassembling, it is only necessary to apply a certain force to pull the temperature measuring element 30 out of the connecting hole. The installation and disassembly process of the temperature measuring element 30 is relatively simple and does not require additional fixing devices or tools.

[0085] Optionally, the lower connecting hole 21 is connected to the cooking space, and the temperature measuring member 30 extends through the lower connecting hole 21 and enters the cooking space. The temperature measuring member 30 is arranged in the cooking space, and can monitor the temperature in the cooking space more real-time and accurately. A sealing ring 40 is also arranged in the cooking utensil, and the sealing ring 40 is clamped between the inner peripheral wall of the lower connecting hole 21 and the outer peripheral wall of the temperature measuring member 30. The sealing ring 40 seals the lower connecting hole 21 and the cooking space. Specifically, the sealing ring 40 is sealed and connected to the temperature measuring member 30 and the heat insulating member 20, respectively, so that the gas in the cooking space will not leak from the lower connecting hole 21, and steam is prevented from entering the cover body and affecting other components.

[0086] Optionally, the sealing ring 40 is respectively interference fit with the lower communicating hole 21 and the temperature measuring element 30. The sealing ring 40 realizes radial sealing between the temperature measuring element 30 and the lower communicating hole 21, and has a certain fastening effect on the temperature measuring element 30.

[0087] like Figure 5 As shown, optionally, the sealing ring 40 includes an annular body 41 inserted into the lower connecting hole 21, and a second protrusion 42 connected to the outer wall of the annular body 41. The annular body 41 can fit tightly against the inner circumferential wall of the lower connecting hole 21 to form an initial seal. The upper end surface of the second protrusion 42 is abutted against the temperature measuring part 30, and the lower end surface of the second protrusion 42 is abutted against the lower limit portion. The provision of the second protrusion 42 not only provides a stable support for the temperature measuring part 30, but also enhances the sealing effect. Optionally, the temperature measuring part 30 can press down the second protrusion 42, so that the sealing ring 40 is more closely connected in the lower connecting hole 21, thereby achieving a better sealing effect.

[0088] like Figure 3 As shown, optionally, the lining 10 is provided with an upper connecting hole 11 , the temperature measuring element 30 extends through the upper connecting hole 11 and at least a portion of the temperature measuring element 30 is located above the lining 10 .

[0089] In one example, the periphery of the upper connecting hole 11 serves as the upper limit. Optionally, the radial dimension of at least part of the temperature measuring element 30 is larger than the aperture of the upper connecting hole 11, and when the temperature measuring element 30 passes through the upper connecting hole 11, a part of it will be stuck or restricted below the upper connecting hole 11. Specifically, the temperature measuring element 30 abuts against the lower end surface of the liner 10.

[0090] In one example, a third protrusion 12 is provided on the periphery of the upper connecting hole 11 along the height direction DH of the cover body, and the third protrusion 12 serves as an upper limit portion. The provision of the third protrusion 12 enhances the strength of the upper connecting hole 11. Optionally, the third protrusion 12 is located above or below the liner 10.

[0091] According to the above embodiment, when installing, the temperature measuring element 30 only needs to be passed through the upper connecting hole 11, and the temperature measuring element 30 can be snapped to the bottom of the lining 10. When disassembling, the lining 10 only needs to be separated from the thermal insulation element 20. The installation and disassembly process of the temperature measuring element 30 is relatively simple and does not require additional fixing devices or tools.

[0092] Among them, when the third protrusion 12 is located above the lining 10, the temperature measuring component 30 passes through and extends to the top of the upper connecting hole 11. Specifically, the third protrusion 12 includes a connecting portion connected to the periphery of the upper connecting hole 11 and extending upward, and a side wall buckle portion 13 connected to the connecting portion. The buckle portion 13 extends in the horizontal direction. The projection of the buckle portion 13 along the height direction DH at least partially overlaps with the projection of the temperature measuring component 30 along the height direction DH. The temperature measuring component 30 can be snapped to the bottom of the buckle portion 13, and the lower end surface of the buckle portion 13 is abutted and connected with the temperature measuring component 30.

[0093] The spacing between the lining 10 and the heat insulating member 20 is small, and the connection portion is provided to expand the installation space of the temperature measuring member 30. The design of the third protrusion 12 has a certain flexibility and can adapt to temperature measuring members 30 of different specifications and sizes. This makes the cooking utensil more versatile and extensible, and different models of temperature measuring members 30 can be installed as needed.

[0094] Optionally, a limiting portion 14 is provided at the end of the buckle portion 13, and the limiting portion 14 abuts against the side surface of the temperature measuring component 30. The limiting portion 14 can limit the rotation of the temperature measuring component 30.

[0095] Optionally, a plurality of third protrusions 12 are provided.

[0096] When the third protrusion 12 is located below the liner 10, optionally, the radial dimension of at least part of the temperature measuring element 30 is larger than the aperture of the through hole of the third protrusion 12, and when the temperature measuring element 30 passes through the through hole, a part of it will be stuck or restricted below the third protrusion 12. Specifically, the temperature measuring element 30 abuts against the lower end surface of the third protrusion 12.

[0097] Optionally, the temperature measuring member 30 is respectively interference fit with the upper limit portion and the lower limit portion. Due to the existence of the interference fit, the relative movement between the temperature measuring member 30 and the cover body is restricted, and the temperature measuring member 30 can be stably installed between the lining cover and the thermal insulation member 20. In addition, the interference fit usually does not require additional fasteners or seals, thereby simplifying the installation process of the temperature measuring member 30.
