[0027] The present utility model will be further described below in conjunction with the drawings:

[0028] The directions described in the utility model specification, such as "up", "down", "left", "right", "front", "rear", etc., are all based on the directions of the drawings and are for the purpose of facilitating the description of the relationships between various components, and do not indicate the only or absolute positional relationships between various components. It is only one of the implementation manners for realizing the utility model and is not a limitation on its implementation manners.

[0029] This embodiment provides an adjustable structure for the elastic sheet of the heating plate of an electric pressure cooker. As Figures 1 to 6 shown, this electric pressure cooker includes a pot body 1 and a pot lid 2 that can cover the pot body 1. The pot body 1 is provided with an inner layer cylinder 3, and an inner pot 4 is arranged inside the inner layer cylinder 3. When the pot lid 2 covers the pot body 1, the pot lid 2 covers the inner pot 4. At the bottom of the inner cavity of the inner layer cylinder 3, there is a heating plate 5 for abutting against the bottom of the inner pot 4. At least two groups of boss groups 31 are arranged at the bottom of the inner cavity of the inner layer cylinder 3. Each group of boss groups 31 includes a first boss 311 and a second boss 312. An elastic sheet 61 is placed on the upper surface of each group of boss groups 31. The heating plate 5 is provided with supporting feet 51 corresponding to the boss groups 31. The supporting feet 51 are located between the first boss 311 and the second boss 312 and press against the upper surface of the elastic sheet 61. That is, both ends of the elastic sheet 61 are respectively supported on the first boss 311 and the second boss 312, and the supporting feet 51 of the heating plate 5 abut against the middle of the elastic sheet 61 from top to bottom. During the operation of the product, when the internal pressure in the inner pot 4 increases, it will cause the inner pot to press downwards, making the heating plate 5 press downwards, and then causing the elastic sheet 61 to deform. By position sensing, the displacement of the heating plate is sensed, and then the start and stop of the product are controlled. An adjusting structure 7 for adjusting the distance between the first boss 311 and the second boss 312 is arranged on the pot body 1. By adjusting the distance between the first boss 311 and the second boss 312, the bending strength of the elastic sheet 61 changes accordingly, and the displacement of the heating plate under the same pressure can be indirectly adjusted, so that the internal pressure in the inner pot 4 during the normal operation of the product can be adjusted. In addition, after the product has been used for a long time, due to the metal fatigue of the elastic sheet 61, the control of the internal pressure in the inner pot 4 during operation is inaccurate. The bending strength of the elastic sheet 61 can also be increased by adjusting the distance between the first boss 311 and the second boss 312, thereby reducing the negative impact caused by the continuous attenuation of the working pressure and greatly improving the service life of the product.

[0030] Specifically, as Figures 3 to 7As shown in the figure, the first boss 311 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the inner cylinder 3 cavity, the second boss 312 is slidably connected to the inner cylinder 3, and the adjustment structure 7 includes a driving member 71 for pushing the second boss 312 to slide relative to the inner cylinder 3. Preferably, an annular mounting plate 32 that can rotate relative to it is connected to the inner cylinder 3. The second boss 312 of each boss group 31 is connected to the annular mounting plate 32. The driving member 71 is rotatably connected to the pot body 1. The outer side surface of the annular mounting plate 32 is provided with a first mating tooth 321. One end of the driving member 71 extends outside the pot body 1 for manual operation, and the other end of the driving member 71 is provided with a second mating tooth 711 that meshes with the first mating tooth 321. When the driving member 71 rotates a certain angle, through the cooperation and transmission of the first mating tooth 321 and the second mating tooth 711, the annular mounting plate 32 can rotate relative to the inner cylinder 3, and further the second boss 312 connected to the annular mounting plate 32 slides relative to the inner cylinder 3. Since the sliding direction of the second boss 312 is along the circumferential direction, the second boss 312 also rotates relative to the inner cylinder 3. For ease of operation, as Figure 3 shown, an operating portion 72 for manual gripping and operation is provided at the end of the driving member 71 that extends outside the pot body 1.

[0031] Preferably, as Figure 5 and Figure 7 shown, a plurality of circumferentially distributed mounting brackets 33 are provided at the bottom of the inner cylinder 3. The mounting brackets 33 are provided with sliding holes 331 through which the annular mounting plate 32 passes. The sliding holes 331 of all the mounting brackets 33 together form an annular channel, enabling the annular mounting plate 32 to rotate relative to the inner cylinder 3.

[0032] Preferably, as Figure 5 and Figure 7 shown, a groove 34 is provided in a circle at the bottom of the inner cylinder 3. The annular mounting plate 32 is arranged in the groove 34. The mounting bracket 33 is connected to the groove wall of the groove 34. A sliding groove hole 35 is opened on the side wall of the inner cylinder 3. A sliding rod 36 is connected between the second boss 312 and the annular mounting plate 32. The sliding rod 36 passes through the sliding groove hole 35. The second boss 312 is arranged at the bottom inside the inner cylinder 3, while the groove 34 is arranged at the bottom outside the inner cylinder 3. Therefore, the sliding rod 36 passing through the sliding groove hole 35 can connect the second boss 312 and the annular mounting plate 32. On the one hand, the structure is more stable, and on the other hand, the second boss 312 can slide relative to the inner cylinder 3 along the sliding groove hole 35.

[0033] As a preferred technical solution, as Figure 8 and Figure 9As shown, a connecting piece 62 is provided between two adjacent elastic pieces 61. The elastic pieces 61 and the connecting piece 62 are arranged alternately to form an annular structure, and the elastic pieces 61 and the connecting piece 62 are an integrally formed integral structure, which simplifies the structure and is convenient for production, manufacture, installation and replacement.

[0034] Preferably, as Figure 8 and Figure 9 shown, a stress cut-off section 621 with one end bent is provided in the middle of the connecting piece 62, thereby reducing the large stress generated between adjacent elastic pieces 61 when they are deformed. Preferably, the shape of the stress cut-off section 621 is an S shape.

[0035] Preferably, as Figure 8 and Figure 9 shown, the width H of the elastic piece 61 gradually increases or decreases along the circumferential direction, that is, the width H of the elastic piece 61 is variable. In this way, when adjusting the distance between the first boss 311 and the second boss 312, the influence on the bending strength of the elastic piece 61 is greater.

[0036] The above are only embodiments of the present invention, and common knowledge such as specific structures and characteristics known in the solution is not described in detail here. It should be pointed out that for those skilled in the art, without departing from the structure of the present invention, several deformations and improvements can be made, which should also be regarded as the protection scope of the present invention, and these will not affect the implementation effect of the present invention and the practicality of the patent. The protection scope required by this application should be subject to the content of its claims, and the specific implementation manners described in the specification can be used to explain the content of the claims.
