It should be understood that these embodiments are provided to make the disclosure of the present utility model thorough and complete, and to fully convey the concepts of these exemplary embodiments to those of ordinary skill in the art.

[0088] The utility model provides a cooking utensil, which comprises a pot body and a cover body 1 (see Figure 1 ). 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.

[0089] 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.

[0090] The cover 1 has a shape that is substantially corresponding to the pot body. The cover 1 can be opened and closed on the pot body. Specifically, it is pivotally connected to the pot body via 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 1 is closed on the pot body, it covers the inner pot and forms a cooking space between the inner pot and the cover 1. The cover 1 is usually also provided with a pot mouth sealing ring, which can be made of, for example, a rubber material, and is arranged between the cover 1 and the inner pot to seal the cooking space when the cover 1 is in the closed state.

[0091] It should be noted that the directional terms used in this document to describe the various components of the cooking appliance and their positional relationships, such as "upper", "lower", "above", "below", "lower side", "upward", "downward", etc., are relative to the state in which the cooking appliance is in a horizontal state and the cover 1 is covered on the pot body. If there is no other definition, the directional terms "inside" and "outside" can be understood that "inside" refers to the side close to the center of the cooking appliance, and "outside" refers to the side away from the center of the cooking appliance.

[0092] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the cooking appliance further comprises a control component 6. The control component 6 can be arranged on the pot body and / or the cover body 1. The following description is made by taking the embodiment in which the control component 6 is arranged on the cover body 1 as an example in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Figures 2 to 8 The structure of the cover body of the first embodiment is schematically shown.

[0093] The control assembly 6 includes an electric control device 10 and an operation panel 20. The operation panel 20 is disposed on the outside or upper side of the electric control device 10 and covers the electric control device 10. A user can operate the electric control device 10 through the operation panel 20. The operation panel 20 is preferably a touch panel.

[0094] Specifically, the cover body 1 includes a face cover 2 and an inner lining 3 located below or on the inner side of the face cover 2. The face cover 2 and the inner lining 3 are two separable components. The face cover 2 can be connected to the inner lining 3 in a detachable manner such as snap-fitting, and the face cover 2 can cover and partially accommodate the upper part of the inner lining 3. The cover body 1 also includes a support member 4. The support member 4 is located between the face cover 2 and the inner lining 3. The support member 4 has an accommodating portion 5 with an opening facing upward or outward, and the electric control device 10 is received in the accommodating portion 5. The electric control device 10 can be installed in or confined in the accommodating portion 5.

[0095] The operation panel 20 is formed integrally with the cover 2 , and the portion of the cover 2 corresponding to the electric control device 10 is the operation panel 20 . In other words, a portion of the cover 2 is configured to be used for operating the electric control device 10 .

[0096] In an alternative solution not shown, the operation panel 20 is a separate component, which can be fixed to the cover 2 by fasteners or snap-fitting. The cover 2 has a receiving portion 5 for receiving the electric control device 10. The operation panel 20 can cover substantially the entire upper surface of the cover 2. The operation panel 20 can be configured to correspond to the shape of the cover 2, for example, the cover 2 is substantially in the shape of a rounded rectangular parallelepiped, and the operation panel 20 is also substantially in the shape of a rounded rectangular parallelepiped. The operation panel 20 substantially completely covers the upper side of the cover 2.

[0097] The electric control device 10 may include a control panel 11 and a key frame 12. The key frame 12 is covered on the control panel 11. The operation panel 20 is located on the outside or upper side of the key frame 12. Adjacent light-emitting elements 13 are separated in the key frame 12 so that the lights of the light-emitting elements 13 do not interfere with each other. Specifically, the control panel 11 is provided with at least one light-emitting element 13. The key frame 12 is provided with a through hole 14 corresponding to the position of the light-emitting element 13, that is, the number of the through hole 14 is at least one. The light-emitting element 13 is located in the through hole 14, thereby being separated. In the illustrated embodiment, the control panel 11 is provided with a plurality of light-emitting elements 13, and the light-emitting elements 13 correspond to the through holes 14 one by one. The key frame 12 has a hole wall 16 forming the through hole 14. The hole wall 16 refers to a wall body with a certain thickness.

[0098] The operation panel 20 is a semi-translucent plastic component. In other words, the operation panel 20 can be made of a semi-translucent plastic material, such as ABS plastic, polycarbonate plastic, polypropylene plastic, etc. The first retaining rib 21 is integrally formed with the operation panel 20, for example, by injection molding of one material, or by injection molding of different materials. The first retaining rib 21 is semi-translucent. The user can easily observe the light of the light-emitting element 13 through the operation panel 20, thereby obtaining a light signal or a light mark such as text or a pattern. The key frame 12 is a non-translucent plastic component. Plastic is selected to prepare the operation panel 20 and the key frame 12. The plastic will be translucent within a certain thickness range. The smaller the thickness, the better the translucent property. If the thickness exceeds the range, the plastic will be non-translucent. The greater the thickness, the better the light shielding property.

[0099] like Figures 3 to 8 As shown, the operation panel 20 is provided with at least one first blocking rib 21 extending toward the key frame 12, and the first blocking rib 21 corresponds to the position of the through hole 14. The first blocking rib 21 is arranged around the light-emitting element 13 to enclose a shielding area, thereby blocking the light of the light-emitting element 13 and preventing the light from overflowing beyond the range of the through hole 14, specifically preventing the light from overflowing from the gap between the key frame 12 and the operation panel 20. The operation panel 20 does not need to be provided with a light-shielding film, which reduces the manufacturing process of the operation panel 20, thereby reducing the manufacturing cost. In the illustrated embodiment, the operation panel 20 is provided with a plurality of first blocking ribs 21, and the first blocking ribs 21 or the shielding area corresponds to the through hole 14 one by one. The projection of the first blocking rib 21 on the horizontal plane is located within the projection of the corresponding through hole 14 on the horizontal plane. The area of ​​the shielding area enclosed by the first blocking rib 21 is smaller than the area of ​​the hole cross section of the through hole 14. With such a configuration, the light shielding effect of the first blocking rib 21 is better.

[0100] The button frame 12 is provided with a second barrier rib 15 extending from the hole wall 16 of the through hole 14 toward the operation panel 20. The outer end or the top end of the second barrier rib 15 extends into the shielding area surrounded by the first barrier rib 21. Further, the second barrier rib 15 partially overlaps with the first barrier rib 21 in the inside-outside direction. For the embodiment in which the control assembly 6 is arranged on the cover body 1, the inside-outside direction can also be referred to as the vertical direction or the up-down direction. The second barrier rib 15 can increase the shading range and further prevent light from spilling out of the range of the through hole 14. The second barrier rib 15 can extend obliquely from the hole wall 16 of the through hole 14. The inclined second barrier rib 15 is arranged around to form a conical shape.

[0101] Usually, there is an assembly gap between the key frame 12 and the operation panel 20, and the first barrier rib 21 and the second barrier rib 15 work together to effectively block the light of the light-emitting element 13 and prevent the light from overflowing beyond the through hole 14. There can be more hole space on the inner side or the lower side of the inclined second barrier rib 15 to accommodate the light-emitting element 13; and the inclined second barrier rib 15 has a simple structure, which is convenient for the production and manufacturing of the key frame 12.

[0102] The second blocking rib 15 is arranged around the inner circumference of the hole wall 16, and the outer end or the top end of the second blocking rib 15 forms a light-transmitting hole 17. The shape of the light-transmitting hole 17 corresponds to the shape of the light-emitting element 13. The shape of the shielding area surrounded by the first blocking rib 21 also corresponds to the shape of the light-emitting element 13. Exemplarily, the light-emitting element 13 includes a display light and / or a display screen. The shape of the display light can be cylindrical, and the shape of the light-transmitting hole 17 and the shielding area can be circular. The shape of the display screen can be square, and the shape of the light-transmitting hole 17 and the shielding area can be square. The light of the light-emitting element 13 is blocked by the second blocking rib 15 on all sides, so that it passes through the light-transmitting hole 17, and the shading effect is good.

[0103] The second retaining rib 15 is located at the outer end or the top end of the through hole 14 close to the operation panel 20, and the outer end of the light emitting element 13 is inside the second retaining rib 15. The second retaining rib 15 is arranged away from the light emitting element 13, and there may be a spacing distance between the second retaining rib 15 and the light emitting element 13 to avoid interference during assembly.

[0104] like Figure 3 and Figure 8 As shown, the outer end 18 or the top end of the hole wall 16 can protrude from the inner end or the bottom end of the second retaining rib 15, so that a positioning groove 19 is formed between the outer end 18 of the hole wall 16 and the second retaining rib 15. The first retaining rib 21 can be located in the positioning groove 19. For example, Figure 3 and Figure 8It can be seen that the cross-sectional shape of the positioning groove 19 is an angular shape. The second retaining rib 15 and the hole wall 16 can increase the positioning of the first retaining rib 21, block the movement of the first retaining rib 21, and prevent the first retaining rib 21 from deviating from the set position. Alternatively, the outer end 18 or the top end of the hole wall 16 may not protrude from the inner end or the bottom end of the second retaining rib 15.

[0105] Optionally, the first retaining rib 21 extends from the inner surface of the operation panel 20 and is a straight wall extending inward and outward. Of course, if necessary and / or desired, the first retaining rib 21 may also be an inclined wall extending inward and outward.

[0106] like Figure 3 As shown, the light-emitting element 13 has a first dimension L1 in a reference direction perpendicular to the center line of the through hole 14, and the light-transmitting hole 17 has a second dimension L2 corresponding to the first dimension L1 in the reference direction. It should be noted that the first dimension and the second dimension correspond to each other in the same reference direction. Exemplarily, for a square display screen, the shape of the light-transmitting hole 17 is also square, and the dimension of the display screen in its own length direction corresponds to the dimension of the light-transmitting hole 17 in its own length direction, and the reference direction is a direction parallel to the length direction of the display screen and the length direction of the light-transmitting hole; the dimension of the display screen in its own width direction corresponds to the dimension of the light-transmitting hole 17 in its own width direction, and the reference direction is a direction parallel to the width direction of the display screen and the width direction of the light-transmitting hole; for a cylindrical display lamp, the shape of the light-transmitting hole 17 is circular, so the diameter of the display lamp corresponds to the diameter of the light-transmitting hole 17, and the reference direction is a direction parallel to the diameter direction of the display screen and the diameter direction of the light-transmitting hole.

[0107] The first size L1 and the second size L2 should satisfy: L2 ≤ L1. This arrangement can effectively prevent the light of the light emitting element 13 from overflowing beyond the range of the through hole 14. Of course, if necessary and / or desired, L1 can also be set <L2。

[0108] Optionally, the difference between the first size L1 and the second size L2 should satisfy: 0≤L1-L2≤3mm. For example, the difference between L1-L2 can be 0mm, 0.2mm, 0.4mm, 0.6mm,

[0109] The desired values ​​are 0.8mm, 1mm, 1.2mm, 1.4mm, 1.6mm, 1.8mm, 2mm, 2.5mm, 3mm, etc. If the size of the light-transmitting hole 17 is too large than the size of the light-emitting element 13, the light-shielding effect is not ideal; if the size of the light-transmitting hole 17 is too small than the size of the light-emitting element 13, the display effect on the operation panel 20 will be affected.

[0110] like Figure 8As shown, the second retaining rib 15 has an inclination angle α relative to the surface where the hole wall 16 of the through hole 14 is located. There is an inclination angle α between the second retaining rib 15 and the surface where the hole wall 16 of the through hole 14 is located. It should be noted that when the outer end 18 of the hole wall 16 protrudes from the inner end of the second retaining rib 15, specifically, there is an inclination angle α between the second retaining rib 15 and the hole wall 16 of the through hole 14. Optionally, 60°≤α≤80°. For example, the inclination angle α can be a desired angle such as 60°, 62°, 64°, 68°, 70°, 72°, 74°, 76°, 78°, 80°, etc. The second retaining rib 15 is set to an angle within the range of 60° to 80°, so that the second retaining rib 15 is easy to match the position of the first retaining rib 21 to obtain a better shading effect.

[0111] Fig. 9 The structure of the cover body of the second embodiment is schematically shown. Except for the first retaining rib and the second retaining rib, the cover body of the second embodiment has the same structure and / or configuration as the cover body of the first embodiment.

[0112] The first retaining rib 221 in this embodiment can extend into the through hole 14. In this way, it is not necessary to set a second retaining rib, and the light of the light-emitting element 13 can be effectively prevented from overflowing outside the through hole 14 by means of the first retaining rib 221. The size of the first retaining rib 221 in the inner and outer directions of this embodiment is greater than the size of the first retaining rib 21 in the inner and outer directions of the first embodiment. Optionally, the first retaining rib 221 has a third size L3 in the inner and outer directions, 1≤L3≤3mm.
