Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to a cooking appliance. Background Art

[0002] In the existing cooking appliance, the wire passing hole is sealed by applying glue at the opening. However, it is found in the actual application process that a part of gas is mixed in the sealant. During the drying process, the volume of the sealant shrinks, which will cause cavities to be formed inside the colloid, reducing the sealing effect.

[0003] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a cooking appliance to at least partially solve the above problems. Summary of the Utility Model

[0004] A series of simplified concepts are introduced in the summary of the utility model, which will be further described in detail in the detailed implementation section. The summary of the utility model does not mean to attempt to define the key features and essential technical features of the claimed technical solution, nor does it mean to attempt to determine the protection scope of the claimed technical solution.

[0005] To at least partially solve the above problems, a first aspect of the utility model provides a cooking appliance, including:

[0006] A pot body;

[0007] A lid body, which is detachably arranged on the pot body, and the lid body includes:

[0008] A face cover, above which electronic components are installed, and the face cover has a wire arranging hole for the wire arrangement of the electronic components to pass through; and

[0009] A lining, which is installed below the face cover, and the lining is provided with a protrusion;

[0010] Wherein, in the state where the lining is installed on the face cover, at least part of the protrusion is located inside the wire arrangement, and a sealing part is formed by filling sealant in the gap between the protrusion and the wire arranging hole, and the wire arrangement passes through the sealing part.

[0011] According to the cooking appliance of the utility model, a sealing part is formed by filling sealant in the gap between the protrusion and the wire arranging hole, avoiding the cavity problem caused by gas mixing and drying shrinkage inside the sealant in the traditional method. During the installation process, first apply glue to the wire arranging hole, and through the nested installation of the protrusion and the wire arranging hole, the sealant is extruded into the gap between the protrusion and the wire arranging hole, thereby forcing the gas inside the sealant to be discharged outward, significantly reducing the possibility of cavities formed inside the sealant after curing, and thus improving the reliability and durability of the seal.

[0012] Optionally, the face cover is provided with a first peripheral rib, the first peripheral rib extends downward and protrudes from the face cover, a wiring groove is formed inside the first peripheral rib, and at least a part of the protrusion is located inside the first peripheral rib.

[0013] According to this solution, the arrangement of the first peripheral rib extends the filling area of the sealant and facilitates the nesting with the protrusion at the same time.

[0014] Optionally, the face cover is provided with a wiring opening, the first peripheral rib surrounds the periphery of the wiring opening, and the wiring opening and the first peripheral rib together form the wiring groove.

[0015] According to this solution, by surrounding the periphery of the wiring opening with the first peripheral rib to form the wiring groove, a clear boundary and a supporting structure are provided for the filling of the sealant, and the sealant can be filled in the wiring groove more evenly and stably.

[0016] Optionally, the wiring groove includes a first hole section and a second hole section, and the first hole section is located above the second hole section;

[0017] The wiring opening forms the first hole section, and the first peripheral rib forms the second hole section.

[0018] According to this solution, through the arrangement of the first hole section and the second hole section, the filling and sealing effect of the sealant can be controlled more precisely. The first hole section facilitates the penetration and preliminary fixation of the wiring; the second hole section provides a more stable and clear filling area for the sealant, thereby enhancing the reliability of the seal.

[0019] Optionally, the cross-sectional area of the first peripheral rib is larger than the opening area of the wiring opening to form a stepped surface;

[0020] In the state where the inner lining is installed on the face cover, at least a part of the protrusion is opposite to and spaced from the stepped surface.

[0021] According to this solution, when the wiring extends from the wiring opening to the wiring port, the wiring can extend in a direction away from the wiring groove. The relative and spaced arrangement of the protrusion and the stepped surface forms a transition between the wiring opening and the annular gap of the wiring groove, providing a better attachment surface and filling space for the sealant, thereby significantly improving the sealing effect.

[0022] Optionally, the interval between the protrusion and the stepped surface is greater than or equal to the thickness of the wiring.

[0023] According to this solution, when the wiring is threaded through the wiring groove, it is ensured to avoid the problem that the wiring cannot pass through due to too narrow an interval.

[0024] Optionally, the interval between the protrusion and the wiring groove is greater than or equal to the thickness of the wiring.

[0025] According to this solution, when the flexible cable is threaded through the flexible cable hole, it is ensured to avoid the problem that the flexible cable cannot pass through due to too narrow a gap.

[0026] Optionally, it further includes a second surrounding rib, the second surrounding rib is connected to the face cover, and the second surrounding rib extends upward and protrudes from the face cover.

[0027] According to this solution, the setting of the second surrounding rib extends the filling area of the sealant, and the second surrounding rib forms a limit for the filling of the sealant to prevent the sealant from flowing to other areas.

[0028] Optionally, a receiving cavity is formed between the face cover and the inner lining;

[0029] The face cover forms a mounting groove for mounting the electronic components;

[0030] The flexible cable hole communicates the receiving cavity with the mounting groove, and in the state where the sealant is filled in the flexible cable hole, the receiving cavity and the mounting groove are relatively sealed.

[0031] According to this solution, through the combined setting of the flexible cable hole and the sealant, the bottom of the mounting groove is relatively sealed.

[0032] Optionally, the cooking appliance further includes a panel, and the panel is mounted above the face cover so that the mounting groove is relatively sealed from the outside.

[0033] According to this solution, through the combined setting of the panel and the face cover, the top of the mounting groove is relatively sealed. Description of the Drawings

[0058] In the following description, a large number of specific details are given to provide a more thorough understanding of the present utility model. However, it is obvious to those skilled in the art that the embodiments of the present utility model can be implemented without one or more of these details. In other examples, in order to avoid confusion with the embodiments of the present utility model, some well-known technical features in the art are not described.

[0059] In this text, ordinal numbers such as "first" and "second" cited in the present utility model are merely identifiers and do not have any other meanings, such as a specific order, etc. Moreover, for example, the term "first component" does not imply the existence of a "second component" by itself, and the term "second component" does not imply the existence of a "first component" by itself.

[0060] In this text, "up", "down", "front", "back", "left", "right", etc. are only used to represent the relative positional relationship between relevant parts, rather than defining the absolute positions of these relevant parts.

[0061] In this text, "equal", "same", etc. are not strict mathematical and / or geometric limitations, and also include errors that can be understood by those skilled in the art and are allowed in manufacturing or using, etc.

[0062] Unless otherwise specified, the numerical ranges in this text include not only the entire range within its two endpoints, but also several sub-ranges included therein.

[0063] Now, exemplary embodiments according to the present utility model will be described in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, these exemplary embodiments can be implemented in many different forms and should not be construed as being limited only to the embodiments set forth herein. It should be understood that these embodiments are provided so that the disclosure of the present utility model is thorough and complete, and the concept of these exemplary embodiments is fully conveyed to those of ordinary skill in the art.

[0064] The present utility model provides a cooking appliance. The cooking appliance of the present utility model can be a rice cooker, an electric pressure cooker, an air fryer, a stew pot, a steamer, a griddle, an oven, a stir-fry machine, an electric kettle or other cooking appliances.

[0065] The cooking appliance includes a lid and a pot body. The pot body is used for cooking food, and the lid is used for covering the pot body. For example, the lid is connected to the pot body in an openable and closable manner for covering the pot body. When the lid covers the pot body, a cooking space is formed between the lid and the pot body.

[0066] It should be noted that the directional terms used in this text to describe the various components and parts of the cooking appliance, such as "up", "down", "above", "below", "upward", "downward", "upwardly", "downwardly", etc. are relative to the cooking appliance in a horizontally placed and upright state. If there are no other limitations, in the directional terms "inward", "outward", "inwardly", "outwardly", "inner side", "outer side", etc., "inner" refers to being close to the center of the cooking appliance, and "outer" refers to being far from the center of the cooking appliance.

[0067] As shown in Figures 1 to Figure 8As shown, the cover body includes a face cover 10 and a lining 20. The face cover 10 is located on the outermost side (i.e., the uppermost side) of the cover body to form the outer shell of the cover body. The lining 20 is arranged below the face cover 10 and connected to the face cover 10. For example, the lining 20 can be connected to the face cover 10 by fasteners or snaps. The lining 20 is mainly used to centrally install various functional components for sensing and controlling the working state of the cooking appliance on the cover body, such as sensors, control modules, etc. Therefore, for centralized management, the wiring of the electronic components 30 of the cover body is generally hidden in the space (accommodation cavity 201) between the face cover 10 and the lining 20.

[0068] Generally, the cover body is provided with a steam channel that communicates the cooking space with the outside. Therefore, it is required that except for the channels arranged in a preset form, other areas inside the cover body should be in a relatively sealed state to ensure that each device can work relatively independently and reduce the influence of steam leakage on other electronic components 30.

[0069] A panel (not shown in the figure) is provided on the outermost side of the cover body and is arranged above the face cover 10. The face cover 10 and the panel together form the outer surface of the cover body. The face cover 10 has a first surface and a second surface arranged opposite to each other, where the first surface faces the panel and the second surface faces the lining cover.

[0070] At least part of the face cover 10 is recessed towards the lining 20 to form a mounting groove 103 for installing the electronic components 30. Optionally, a lamp board assembly is installed in the mounting groove 103. The panel is sealingly connected to the first surface of the face cover 10, so that the mounting groove 103 is relatively sealed from the outside. Exemplarily, the panel is adhesively connected or heat-melted to the face cover 10.

[0071] A wire arrangement hole 11 is formed at the bottom of the mounting groove 103. The wire arrangement hole 11 communicates the mounting groove 103 with the accommodation cavity 201, so that the wire arrangement 31 of the electronic components 30 can extend from the mounting groove 103 to the accommodation cavity 201. In order to better protect the electronic components 30, when the wire arrangement 31 passes through the wire arrangement hole 11, it is required to form a sealing structure at the wire arrangement hole 11. Optionally, a sealing structure is formed by filling the wire arrangement hole 11 with a sealing adhesive. Optionally, the sealing adhesive is silicone rubber.

[0072] Thus, while the electronic components 30 in the mounting groove 103 achieve electrical connection, their relatively sealed state is ensured.

[0073] As Figure 2As shown, the cable slot 11 includes a first hole section 111 and a second hole section 112, and the first hole section 111 is located above the second hole section 112. Optionally, the cable slot 11 formed by the first hole section 111 and the second hole section 112 is flush with both the inner wall and the outer wall of the mounting groove 103, or protrudes from the inner wall of the mounting groove 103 and protrudes from the outer wall of the mounting groove 103, or is flush with the inner wall of the mounting groove 103 and protrudes from the outer wall of the mounting groove 103, or protrudes from the inner wall of the mounting groove 103 and is flush with the outer wall of the mounting groove 103. Both the first hole section 111 and the second hole section 112 can be filled with sealant to seal the cable slot 11.

[0074] The main function of the sealant is to fill the gap and form a sealing layer to prevent the penetration of gas, liquid or dust. Chemical reactions will occur during the curing process of the sealant, and gases may be generated. During the curing process of the sealant, if the generated gases are not discharged in time, voids or bubbles will be formed inside the colloid, reducing the sealing effect.

[0075] The following takes the cable slot 11 formed by the first hole section 111 and the second hole section 112 protruding from the inner wall of the mounting groove 103 and protruding from the outer wall of the mounting groove 103 as an example for illustration.

[0076] As Figures 4 to 7 shown, the face cover 10 is provided with a cable opening 101. Specifically, the cable opening 101 is opened on the bottom wall of the mounting groove 103. The periphery of the cable opening 101 extends upward to form a second rib 13. The cable opening 101 and the second rib 13 together form the first hole section 111. Optionally, the orthographic projection of the cable opening 101 in the height direction coincides with the orthographic projection of the opening of the second rib 13 in the height direction.

[0077] The first hole section 111 forms a first sealing part by filling with sealant. Optionally, sealant can be provided only at the cable opening 101 of the first hole section 111. Sealant can also be provided at both the cable opening 101 and at least part of the second rib 13. The setting of the second rib 13 extends the first hole section 111, increases the filling area, and improves the sealing performance. Through the setting of the second rib 13, during the process of filling the sealant, it constitutes a limit for the sealant, preventing the sealant from flowing to other areas of the mounting groove 103. At the same time, the second rib 13 also constitutes a guide for the cable 31.

[0078] The face cover 10 is provided with a first rib 12, and the first rib 12 extends downward and protrudes from the face cover 10. The first rib 12 forms the second hole section 112.

[0079] The first rib 12 surrounds the periphery of the cable opening 101. That is, the orthographic projection of the cable opening 101 in the height direction is located within the orthographic projection of the first rib 12 in the height direction. The first hole section 111 and the second hole section 112 are connected.

[0080] As shown Figure 8 in the figure, the inner liner 20 is provided with a protrusion 21. Optionally, the protrusion 21 is configured as a surrounding rib structure. The protrusion 21 extends upward and protrudes from the inner liner 20. In the state where the inner liner 20 is installed on the face cover 10, at least a part of the protrusion 21 is located in the second hole section 112. That is, the protrusion 21 is nested with the second hole section 112 (i.e., the first surrounding rib 12), and the orthographic projection of the protrusion 21 in the height direction and the orthographic projection in the horizontal direction are both located within the first surrounding rib 12. There is a gap between the protrusion 21 and the second hole section 112. The gap between the protrusion 21 and the second hole section 112 is filled with sealant to form a second sealing portion. Optionally, the gap is an annular gap. The cross-sectional area of the annular gap is smaller than the cross-sectional area of the second hole section 112. Optionally, the cross-sectional area of the annular gap is smaller than the cross-sectional area of the first hole section 111. Therefore, while ensuring the sealing performance, the filling volume of the sealant can be reduced, and the generation of sealant voids can be reduced.

[0081] Through the above arrangement of the wire routing holes 11, a first sealing portion is formed in the first hole section 111, a second sealing portion is formed in the annular gap of the second hole section 112, and the wire 31 passes through the first sealing portion and the second sealing portion. At least a part of the cross-sectional area of the second sealing portion is smaller than the cross-sectional area of the first sealing portion. Therefore, while ensuring the sealing performance, the risk of void generation can be reduced.

[0082] In some embodiments, sealant can be filled only in the gap between the protrusion 21 and the second hole section 112.

[0083] In addition, in this embodiment, the arrangements of the protrusion 21, the first surrounding rib 12, and the second surrounding rib 13 can guide the extension of the wire 31, realize the limit within a certain range, and improve the controllability during the installation process.

[0084] In some embodiments of the present utility model, the cross-sectional area of the first hole section 111 is smaller than the cross-sectional area of the second hole section 112, that is, the wire routing hole 11 has a configuration with a smaller upper part and a larger lower part. When the wire 31 extends from the inside of the installation groove 103 to the lower part, due to the guidance of the wire routing hole 11, the wire 31 extends in a direction away from the wire routing hole 11. This layout helps to guide the wire 31 to extend along a predetermined path during the installation process, making the layout of the wire 31 more reasonable and beautiful, and at the same time reducing the failures and maintenance costs caused by the chaos of the wire 31. Optionally, the cross-sectional area of the first hole section 111 is smaller than the cross-sectional area of the second hole section 112, which is convenient for the nested arrangement of the second hole section 112 and the protrusion 21.

[0085] In some embodiments of the present utility model, the cross-sectional area of the first surrounding rib 12 is larger than the opening area of the cable arrangement opening 101, so as to form a stepped surface 102 between the first surrounding rib 12 and the cable arrangement opening 101. In the state where the inner lining 20 is installed on the face cover 10, at least part of the protrusion 21 is opposite to and spaced from the stepped surface 102. The relative and spaced arrangement of the protrusion 21 and the stepped surface 102 forms a transition between the annular gaps of the first hole section 111 and the second hole section 112, providing a better attachment surface and filling space for the sealant, thereby significantly improving the sealing effect. After the cable arrangement hole 11 is filled with the sealant, the bonding strength of the protrusion 21, the first surrounding rib 12, the stepped surface 102 of the face cover 10 and the sealant is high. While forming a more compact and reliable sealing layer, the structural stability is improved, thereby effectively protecting the cable arrangement 31.

[0086] In some embodiments of the present utility model, the interval between the protrusion 21 and the stepped surface 102 is greater than or equal to the thickness of the cable arrangement 31. That is, the cable arrangement 31 can pass through the interval between the protrusion 21 and the stepped surface 102.

[0087] In some embodiments of the present utility model, the interval between the protrusion 21 and the second hole section 112 is greater than or equal to the thickness of the cable arrangement 31. That is, the cable arrangement 31 can pass through the interval between the protrusion 21 and the first surrounding rib 12.

[0088] Through the above setting of the cable arrangement hole 11, it is ensured that when the cable arrangement 31 is threaded in the cable arrangement hole 11, the problem that the cable arrangement 31 cannot pass through due to too narrow an interval is avoided.
