[0006] A hinge cover, integrally formed with the base, the hinge cover extending upward from the top end of the base, and the hinge cover being adapted to shield the hinge area.

[0007] Beneficial effects: Since the hinge cover is integrally formed with the base, when assembling the electric rice cooker, there is no need to install the hinge cover again. The hinge cover extends upward from the top end of the base, and there is no gap between the hinge cover and the base, which is simple and beautiful in appearance. During the production process, there is no need to specially manufacture a mold for the hinge cover.

[0008] In an optional embodiment, the hinge cover is formed with reinforcing ribs.

[0009] Beneficial effects: Since the hinge cover is a thin-walled structure and is prone to deformation, the formation of reinforcing ribs on the hinge cover can improve the stiffness and strength of the hinge cover.

[0010] In an optional embodiment, a hinge spring is provided in the hinge area, and the hinge cover is provided with a clearance position for the long arm of the hinge spring to pass through.

[0011] Beneficial effects: Since when the cooking pot lid is opened, the long arm of the hinge spring will move outward a certain distance, the setting of the clearance position can prevent the long arm of the hinge spring from interfering with the hinge cover when moving outward.

[0012] In an optional embodiment, a diversion surface is provided below the clearance position, and the diversion surface is used for diverting liquid to the base.

[0013] Beneficial effect: When the user operates the rice cooker in violation of regulations, rice soup or liquid may overflow from the rice cooker, and a large amount of liquid will flow down from the lid. A certain amount of liquid will flow into the interior of the rice cooker along the avoidance space and splash onto the high-voltage parts on the circuit board, posing a safety hazard of electric shock to the user and explosion of the circuit board. By providing a guide surface under the avoidance space, the liquid flowing out along the avoidance space can be guided to the base, thereby preventing the liquid from splashing onto the high-voltage parts on the circuit board.

[0014] In an optional embodiment, a drainage groove is provided on the inner wall of the base, the drainage groove is used to drain the liquid to the bottom surface of the base, and the guide surface is used to guide the liquid to the drainage groove.

[0015] Beneficial effect: When the user operates the rice cooker in violation of regulations, rice soup or liquid may overflow from the rice cooker, and a large amount of liquid will flow down from the cooker lid. A certain amount of liquid will flow into the interior of the cooker along the avoidance space and splash onto the high-voltage parts on the circuit board, posing a safety hazard of electric shock to the user and explosion of the circuit board. By providing a guide surface below the avoidance space, the liquid flowing out along the avoidance space can be guided to the base, and a drainage groove is provided on the inner wall of the base. The guide surface is used to guide the liquid to the drainage groove, and the drainage groove is used to limit the flow path of the liquid, and drain the liquid to the bottom surface of the base or to the water collecting box provided on the base, so as to prevent the liquid from splashing onto the high-voltage parts on the circuit board.

[0016] In an optional embodiment, two drainage ribs are provided on the inner wall of the base at intervals, and the drainage groove is formed between the two drainage ribs.

[0017] Beneficial effect: By arranging drainage ribs on the inner wall of the base, a drainage groove is formed between two drainage ribs, and there is no need to groove the inner wall of the base, so the strength of the base will not be weakened. The arrangement of the drainage ribs can also increase the strength of the base.

[0018] In an optional embodiment, a blocking structure is provided on the hinged lid and / or the base at a position below the guide surface, and at least a portion of the blocking structure is located in the extension direction of the guide surface. The blocking structure and the guide surface and / or the drainage groove form an annular through hole, and the blocking structure is used to prevent liquid from splashing when flowing into the pot body from the avoidance position or splashing after flowing downward along the guide surface.

[0019] Beneficial effect: At least part of the blocking structure is located in the extension direction of the guide surface, which can prevent the liquid from flowing into the pot body from the avoidance position or splashing onto the circuit board inside the pot body after flowing downward along the guide surface.

[0020] In an optional embodiment, the base is provided with a drainage hole.

[0021] Beneficial effects: By providing a drain hole in the base, the liquid flowing from the drainage groove to the base can flow out through the drain hole, eliminating the need for the user to pour out the liquid inside the base.

[0022] In an alternative embodiment, the hinge cover is provided with positioning posts adapted to position the support ring. The positioning posts are connected to the hinge cover through a connecting plate, and a groove or an opening is provided at the connection between the connecting plate and the hinge cover.

[0023] Beneficial effects: By providing a groove or an opening at the connection between the connecting plate and the hinge cover, it is possible to prevent the shrinkage phenomenon of the injection molded part caused by excessive local wall thickness.

[0024] In a second aspect, the present utility model provides a cooking pot body, including the above-mentioned housing and a support ring. The support ring is lapped on the base. The support ring has a first stop portion, and the top end of the base has a second stop portion. The first stop portion and the second stop portion cooperate with each other.

[0025] Beneficial effects: By providing a first stop portion on the support ring and a second stop portion at the top end of the base, and the cooperation between the first stop portion and the second stop portion, it is possible to limit the support ring and prevent the support ring from sliding relative to the base.

[0026] In an alternative embodiment, the first stop portion has a first abutting surface, and the second stop portion has a second abutting surface. The first abutting surface abuts against the second abutting surface, and both are inclined surfaces.

[0027] Beneficial effects: Since the first abutting surface abuts against the second abutting surface and both are inclined surfaces, it is possible to make the cooperation between the support ring and the base closer, preventing the support ring from sliding upward and causing a gap between the support ring and the base, resulting in an unsightly appearance.

[0028] In an alternative embodiment, the support ring is provided with a first screw post, and the base is provided with a second screw post. The first screw post and the second screw post are connected by a screw, and there is a gap between the first screw post and the second screw post.

The positioning posts 202 are connected to the hinge cover 2 through a connecting plate 203, and a groove or an opening 204 is provided at the connection between the connecting plate 203 and the hinge cover 2.

[0100] In this embodiment, by providing a groove or an opening 204 at the connection between the connecting plate 203 and the hinge cover 2, the phenomenon of shrinkage of the injection-molded part caused by excessive local material thickness can be prevented.

[0101] Specifically, during processing, the connecting plate 203 is subjected to deburring treatment to form a groove or an opening 204.

[0102] According to an embodiment of the present invention, in a second aspect, a cooking pot body is provided, which includes the housing provided in the above embodiment and a support ring 3. The support ring 3 is lapped on the base 1. The support ring 3 has a first stop portion 301, and the top end of the base 1 has a second stop portion 101. The first stop portion 301 and the second stop portion 101 cooperate with each other.

[0103] In this embodiment, by providing a first stop portion 301 on the support ring 3 and a second stop portion 101 at the top end of the base 1, and the first stop portion 301 and the second stop portion 101 cooperate with each other, the support ring 3 can be limited, and the support ring 3 can be prevented from sliding relative to the base 1.

[0104] Specifically, as Figure 12 shown, a first annular edge and a second annular edge extending downward are provided at the edge of the support ring 3. The first annular edge is located outside the second annular edge, and a ring groove is formed between the first annular edge and the second annular edge. The first annular edge and the second annular edge constitute the first stop portion 301. A step portion is formed outside the top end of the base 1, and the step portion constitutes the second stop portion 101. The vertical portion of the step portion abuts against the inner side of the first annular edge and is located in the ring groove, and the second annular edge extends into the inner side of the base 1.

[0105] In one embodiment, the first stop portion 301 has a first abutting surface 3011, and the second stop portion 101 has a second abutting surface 1011. The first abutting surface 3011 abuts against the second abutting surface 1011, and both are inclined surfaces.

[0106] In this embodiment, since the first abutting surface 3011 and the second abutting surface 1011 abut against each other and both are inclined surfaces, the cooperation between the support ring 3 and the base 1 can be made closer, and the support ring 3 can be prevented from sliding upward, resulting in a gap between the support ring 3 and the base 1, which is not aesthetically pleasing.

[0107] Specifically, the first abutting surface 3011 refers to the lower surface of the first annular edge, and the second abutting surface 1011 refers to the surface of the step adjacent to the bottom of the vertical portion.

[0108] Specifically, asFigure 12 As shown, along the radial direction of the base 1 and from inside to outside, both the first abutting surface 3011 and the second abutting surface are inclined upward.

[0109] In one embodiment, the support ring 3 is provided with a first screw post 302, and the base 1 is provided with a second screw post 102.

The first screw post 302 and the second screw post 102 are connected by screws, which can stably connect the support ring 3 in the base 1. There is a gap between the first screw post 302 and the second screw post 102, which can ensure that the first abutting surface 3011 of the support ring 3 is in close contact with the second abutting surface 1011 of the base 1.

[0111] Specifically, in one embodiment, as Figure 13 shown, the gap between the first screw post 302 and the second screw post 102 is D1, and 0.2 mm ≤ D1 ≤ 0.8 mm.

[0112] Specifically, in one embodiment, the support ring 3 is provided with a total of four first screw posts 302, and the base 1 is provided with a total of four second screw posts 102. The second screw posts 102 correspond to the first screw posts 302 one by one.

[0113] In one embodiment, as Figure 14 and Figure 15 shown, the top of the hinge cover 2 is higher than the top of the support ring 3.

[0114] In this embodiment, since the top of the hinge cover 2 is higher than the top of the support ring 3, the hinge cover 2 can block the support ring 3, making the appearance more beautiful.

[0115] Specifically, the top of the hinge cover 2 is higher than the top of the support ring 3 by D2, and 0.2 mm ≤ D2 ≤ 0.8 mm.

[0116] In one embodiment, the hinge cover 2 and the support ring 3 are matched through a positioning structure.

[0127] Specifically, as Figure 15 shown, the positioning buckle 106 has an inclined surface and a horizontal surface at the bottom end of the inclined surface. The support ring 3 is installed in the base 1 from top to bottom. During installation, the support ring 3 first moves downward along the inclined surface. When the card slot 304 is aligned with the positioning buckle 106, the positioning buckle 106 is snapped into the card slot 304. The card slot 304 has a bottom surface, a top surface and a side surface. The bottom surface of the card slot 304 abuts against the horizontal surface of the positioning buckle 106, so that the position of the support ring 3 can be limited in the up and down direction to ensure that the support ring 3 is assembled in place.

[0128] Specifically, in one embodiment, a total of two positioning buckles 106 are provided. Correspondingly, two card slots 304 are provided.

[0129] According to an embodiment of the present invention, in a third aspect, a rice cooker is further provided, including: a cooker lid 7 and the cooker body provided in the above embodiment.

[0130] In one embodiment, as Figure 20As shown in the figure, the pot cover 7 has an inner cover 701 and an outer cover. The pot body includes a base 1 and a support ring 3. The inner cover 701 is hinged to the support ring 3 through a hinge shaft 4. A hinge spring 5 is sleeved on the hinge shaft 4. The short arm 502 of the hinge spring 5 is inserted into the corresponding groove of the support ring 3, and the long arm 501 of the hinge spring 5 is inserted into the corresponding groove of the pot cover 7. When the pot cover 7 is rotated, the long arm 501 of the hinge spring 5 rotates accordingly.

[0131] The inner cover 701 is further provided with a buffer block 6. When the pot cover 7 is rotated, the buffer block 6 is elastically in contact with the support ring 3, which can prevent the inner cover 701 from making a rigid collision with the support ring 3.

[0132] Although the embodiments of the present invention have been described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, those skilled in the art can make various modifications and variations without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention, and such modifications and variations fall within the scope defined by this application.
