[0002] During the operation of the pressure cooking appliance, the cooking space is filled with steam, and the cooking space is connected to the outside world through the exhaust pipe. The opening and closing of the exhaust pipe is adjusted by the pressure limiting valve. Specifically, the position of the pressure limiting valve is controlled by the solenoid valve, so as to adjust the pressure in the cooking space.

[0003] In the related art, when a pressure cooking appliance is cooking, the pressure in the cooking space needs to be adjusted frequently. At this time, the solenoid valve moves back and forth. Due to the collision between the components of the solenoid valve itself and the collision between the solenoid valve and the parts arranged around it, a loud noise will be emitted, causing noise pollution, thereby affecting the user experience.

Therefore, other examples of exemplary embodiments may have different values. It should be noted that similar reference numerals and letters represent similar items in the following drawings, and therefore, once a certain item is defined in an accompanying drawing, it does not need to be further discussed in subsequent drawings.

[0028] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, in this embodiment, the cooking utensil includes: a pot body, a cover body 10, an exhaust pipe 20, a pressure limiting valve 30, an exhaust lever 40, a driving member 50 and a flexible covering member 60. The cover body 10 is arranged on the pot body in an openable and closable manner. The exhaust pipe 20 is arranged on the cover body 10. The pressure limiting valve 30 is arranged on the top of the exhaust pipe 20 and has a blocking position for blocking the exhaust pipe 20 and an open position for avoiding the exhaust pipe 20. The exhaust lever 40 is arranged on the cover body 10, and the exhaust lever 40 is swingably arranged and cooperates with the pressure limiting valve 30. The driving member 50 is arranged on the cover body 10, and the driving member 50 is driven and cooperated with the exhaust lever 40 to switch the pressure limiting valve 30 between the open position and the blocking position. The flexible covering member 60 is arranged on the side of the exhaust lever 40 facing the driving member 50.

[0029] By applying the technical solution of this embodiment, the cover 10 can be opened and closed on the pot body, the exhaust pipe 20 is passed through the cover 10 and can realize exhaust pressure relief, and the pressure limiting valve 30 is arranged on the top of the exhaust pipe 20 and can block the exhaust pipe 20 and avoid the exhaust pipe 20. The exhaust lever 40 is arranged on the cover 10, the exhaust lever 40 can swing and cooperate with the pressure limiting valve 30, the driving member 50 is arranged on the cover 10 and can drive and cooperate with the exhaust lever 40, and the flexible cover 60 is arranged on the side of the exhaust lever 40 facing the driving member 50. Through the above-mentioned setting, the driving member 50 can drive the exhaust lever 40 to swing, so that the exhaust lever 40 can push the pressure limiting valve 30 and switch the pressure limiting valve 30 between the blocking position and the open position. The setting of the flexible cover 60 can make the contact between the driving member 50 and the exhaust lever 40 flexible, thereby effectively reducing the noise generated when the driving member 50 contacts the exhaust lever 40. Therefore, the technical solution of this embodiment effectively solves the problem that the electromagnetic valve in the related art easily generates noise when driving the pressure limiting valve.

[0030] It should be noted that the material of the above-mentioned flexible cover 60 is rubber or other soft materials with buffering effect.

[0031] In other embodiments, the flexible cover member 60 may be disposed on a side of the driving member 50 facing the exhaust lever 40. Similarly, the driving member 50 may also be disposed on the pot body.

[0032] like Figures 2 to 6 As shown, in this embodiment, the exhaust lever 40 includes a rod body 41 and a push-up portion 42, the push-up portion 42 is arranged at the end of the rod body 41 facing the driving member 50, and the flexible cover 60 is arranged on the push-up portion 42. The arrangement of the push-up portion 42 makes it easier for the driving member 50 to push up, thereby making it easier to drive the movement of the pressure limiting valve 30, and the arrangement of the flexible cover 60 on the push-up portion 42 makes the position stability of the flexible cover 60 better and not easy to fall off.

[0033] In this embodiment, the push portion 42 extends downward, thereby making it easier for the driving member 50 to drive the exhaust lever 40 .

[0034] Specifically, since the driving member 50 needs to move frequently, if the flexible cover 60 is set on the driving member 50, the flexible cover 60 is easy to fall off during the movement of the driving member 50. In order to prevent the above situation, the technical solution of this embodiment sets the flexible cover 60 on the pushing top part 42.

[0035] Of course, the flexible cover 60 may also be disposed on the driving member 50 .

[0036] like Figures 2 to 6As shown, in this embodiment, a mounting recess 421 is provided on the push portion 42, and the flexible cover 60 is provided at the mounting recess 421. The mounting recess 421 has a simple structure, is easy to set, and can effectively fix the flexible cover 60.

[0037] like Figures 2 to 6 As shown, in this embodiment, a mounting hole 422 is provided on the push-up portion 42, and the flexible cover 60 includes a flexible pad 61 and a connecting member 62 connected to each other, the connecting member 62 is inserted into the mounting hole 422, and the flexible pad 61 is installed in the mounting recess 421. The connecting member 62 is inserted into the mounting hole 422, which can further improve the stability of the position of the flexible cover 60.

[0038] Specifically, the connecting member 62 is a connecting column.

[0039] In an embodiment not shown in the figure, the flexible pad 61 can be fixed by bonding, clamping, or fasteners.

[0040] like Figures 2 to 6 As shown, in this embodiment, a limiting member 621 is provided on the connecting member 62, and the lower extension push portion 42 is located between the flexible pad 61 and the limiting member 621, and the limiting member 621 cooperates with the push portion 42 to stop. The limiting member 621 can prevent the connecting member 62 from being separated from the mounting hole 422.

[0041] Specifically, the cross-sectional area of ​​the stopper 621 gradually decreases from the direction close to the flexible pad 61 to the direction away from the flexible pad 61 , so that the stopper 621 can be easily inserted into the mounting hole 422 .

[0042] like Figures 2 to 6 As shown, in this embodiment, the area of ​​the flexible pad 61 is larger than the area where the driving member 50 contacts the flexible pad 61. The above arrangement can prevent the situation where the driving member 50 contacts the push portion 42 and is misaligned and does not contact the flexible pad 61, that is, the noise reduction effect can be ensured.

[0043] The shape of the flexible pad 61 is preferably non-circular, such as rectangular, D-shaped, elliptical or olive-shaped. The non-circular structure is vertically arranged according to the long axis so that the flexible pad 61 has a sufficiently large area in the longitudinal direction, ensuring that the driving rod 52 can collide with the flexible pad 61 when the metal cover floats. The area of ​​the flexible pad 61 is larger than the cross-sectional area of ​​the driving rod 52, and the height of the flexible pad 61 has a certain range, which can prevent the driving rod 52 and the flexible pad 61 from being misaligned when the exhaust lever 40 swings.

[0044] Of course, the shape of the flexible pad 61 may be circular, but the diameter of the circle needs to be larger.

[0045] like Figures 2 to 6As shown, in this embodiment, the thickness of the flexible pad 61 is between 0.5 mm and 1 mm, and the Shore hardness of the flexible pad 61 is between 35 and 45. The above setting can ensure both the buffering effect and the force transmission effect. If the Shore hardness is less than 35, it will lead to excessive buffering or insufficient force transmission, which will affect the moving distance of the exhaust lever 40 and the lifting distance of the pressure limiting valve 30. If the Shore hardness is greater than 45, it will affect the noise reduction effect.

[0046] like Figures 2 to 5 As shown, in this embodiment, the cooking appliance further comprises a mounting seat 70, which is arranged on the cover body 10, and the rod body 41 is hingedly connected to the mounting seat 70. The arrangement of the mounting seat 70 can make the position of the exhaust lever 40 more stable and can better drive the pressure limiting valve 30.

[0047] like Figures 2 to 5 As shown, in this embodiment, the mounting seat 70 includes a bracket 71 and a fixing seat 72 connected to the bracket 71, the bracket 71 is located at the side of the fixing seat 72, the fixing seat 72 is provided with an avoidance hole 721, the exhaust pipe 20 is inserted into the avoidance hole 721, and the rod body 41 is hingedly connected to the bracket 71. The fixing seat 72 can be fixed on the cover body 10 so that the position of the mounting seat 70 is stable. At the same time, since the exhaust pipe 20 is inserted into the avoidance hole 721, the position stability of the fixing seat 72 can be further improved. The bracket 71 can be hingedly connected to the rod body 41, so that the pressure limiting valve 30 can be driven when the rod body 41 swings.

[0048] Specifically, the cover body 10 includes an inner lining and a metal cover rotatably arranged below the inner lining, the mounting seat 70 is fixed on the metal cover, and the exhaust pipe 20 is connected to the metal cover. Since the metal cover has a certain range of up and down floating after being pressed in the pot body, fixing the mounting seat 70 on the metal cover is conducive to the exhaust lever 40 and the pressure limiting valve 30 on the exhaust pipe 20 to move together, ensuring the effect of lifting the pressure limiting valve 30 is stable.

[0049] Specifically, the mounting seat 70 and the exhaust lever 40 are preferably made of hard plastic, which may be PP or ABS plastic.

[0050] like Figures 2 to 5 As shown, in this embodiment, the driving member 50 includes a driving body 51 and a driving rod 52 connected to the driving body 51, and the driving rod 52 is provided with a reinforcing rib 521 extending along the extending direction of the driving rod 52. The reinforcing rib 521 can improve the structural strength of the driving rod 52 and prevent it from being damaged.

[0051] Specifically, the driving body 51 is a solenoid valve, which is preferably arranged on the inner lining of the cover body 10. When the solenoid valve is energized, the driving rod 52 moves horizontally, and the exhaust lever 40 rotates a certain angle under the push of the driving rod 52. The end of the exhaust lever 40 pushes the pressure limiting valve 30 upward, and the contact point of the collision between the driving rod 52 and the exhaust lever 40 is set on the lower side as much as possible to increase the force arm.

[0052] When the solenoid valve is not powered, there is a certain gap between the driving rod 52 and the exhaust lever 40, and they are not in contact. When the solenoid valve is powered, the action is faster, and the driving rod 52 quickly hits the flexible pad 61. Since the flexible pad 61 acts as a buffer, there is no sound when hitting. The flexible pad 61 is fixed to the impact part of the exhaust lever 40 by means of the mounting recess 421, so that it is not easy to stick to the driving rod 52 or fall off from the exhaust lever 40.

[0053] In order to ensure a good buffering and force transmission effect, the flexible pad 61 has a certain thickness range, the mounting recess 421 has a certain depth, and when the flexible pad 61 is assembled in the mounting recess 421, the outer surface of the flexible pad 61 is preferably flush with the surface of the push-up portion 42, or the depth of the mounting recess 421 is greater than the thickness of the flexible pad 61. The bottom edge of the flexible pad 61 covers the bottom edge of the mounting recess 421, or the bottom edge of the flexible pad 61 is above the bottom edge of the mounting recess 421, that is, the mounting recess 421 has a surrounding boundary.

[0054] In the description of the present utility model, it needs to be understood that the directions or positional relationships indicated by directional words such as "front, back, up, down, left, right", "lateral, vertical, perpendicular, horizontal" and "top, bottom" are usually based on the directions or positional relationships shown in the drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing the present utility model and simplifying the description. Unless otherwise specified, these directional words do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific direction or be constructed and operated in a specific direction, and therefore cannot be understood as limiting the scope of protection of the present utility model; the directional words "inside and outside" refer to the inside and outside relative to the contours of each component itself.

[0055] For ease of description, spatially relative terms such as "above", "above", "on the upper surface of", "above", etc. may be used here to describe the spatial positional relationship between a device or feature and other devices or features as shown in the figure. It should be understood that spatially relative terms are intended to include different orientations of the device in use or operation in addition to the orientation described in the figure. For example, if the device in the accompanying drawings is inverted, the device described as "above other devices or structures" or "above other devices or structures" will be positioned as "below other devices or structures" or "below other devices or structures". Thus, the exemplary term "above" may include both "above" and "below". The device may also be positioned in other different ways (rotated 90 degrees or in other orientations), and the spatially relative descriptions used here are interpreted accordingly.

[0056] In addition, it should be noted that the use of terms such as "first" and "second" to limit components is only for the convenience of distinguishing the corresponding components. If not otherwise stated, the above terms have no special meaning and therefore cannot be understood as limiting the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0057] The above description is only the preferred embodiment of the utility model, and is not intended to limit the utility model. For those skilled in the art, the utility model can have various modifications and changes. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the utility model shall be included in the protection scope of the utility model.
