Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of kitchen appliances, and particularly relates to a pot cover assembly and a cooking utensil. Background Art

[0002] Cooking utensils typically have lids that can be assembled with the pot body in either a one-piece or two-piece configuration. A two-piece lid can be removed from the pot body to fully open it. A one-piece lid is hinged to the pot body at one end and locked to the pot body at the other end via a buckle or other structure, allowing the lid to be flipped open or closed.

[0003] Integrated cooking appliances typically feature a lid-opening button on the lid or pot itself. Pressing this button unlocks the lid from the pot. In addition to horizontally movable buttons, some are pivotally attached to the lid. Similarly, pressing one end of the button opens the lid, but the button rotates downward.

[0004] However, the lid and lid-opening button are mostly made of plastic, which can deform when heated. Consequently, after prolonged use, the lid-opening button can become warped and tilt upward. This not only causes the lid-opening button to protrude excessively from the lid surface, affecting the appearance and increasing the risk of accidental activation. Furthermore, the upward tilt of the lid-opening button increases the pressing angle, increasing the user's pressing distance and reducing the operational feel and user experience.

[0005] In addition, due to the structural design, the height of the lid opening button is relatively large, which is not conducive to accommodating the lid opening button on the one hand, and on the other hand, it also compresses the display space on the top surface of the pot lid, affecting the display effect of the cooking utensil. Utility Model Content

[0006] The utility model provides a pot cover assembly and a cooking utensil, which solve the problem that an operating button is easily deformed upward, affecting the appearance of the pot cover and reducing the user's operating feel.

[0007] The technical solution adopted by this utility model is:

[0008] A pot lid assembly includes a lid body and an operating member arranged on the lid body, the operating member having a connecting end and an operating end, the operating end being rotatable relative to the lid body, the operating end having a mating portion extending downward, the mating portion being provided with a limiting rib, the lid body being provided with an accommodating space, the limiting rib extending into the accommodating space, the accommodating space being provided with a stop portion, the stop portion being located above the limiting rib so as to be able to engage with the limiting rib stop.

[0009] The pot cover assembly of the utility model also has the following additional technical features:

[0010] The limiting rib extends in a horizontal direction to form a stopping plane on an upper surface of the limiting rib, and a lower surface of the stopping portion has a matching plane matching the stopping plane.

[0011] The pot cover assembly also includes a clamping portion arranged inside the cover body, which is used to clamp and lock with the pot body. The clamping portion has a sensing portion located below the accommodating space, and the lower surface of the limiting rib has a contact arc surface for cooperating with the sensing portion.

[0012] The upper surface of the cover body is provided with an accommodating groove for accommodating the operating member, the groove wall of the accommodating groove is provided with a through opening communicating with the accommodating space, and the limiting rib passes through the through opening to enter the accommodating space.

[0013] The opening extends from the bottom wall of the accommodating groove to the side wall of the accommodating groove.

[0014] The matching portion extends outwardly in an inclined manner compared to the operating end, and the limiting rib is arranged at the lower end of the matching portion.

[0015] The matching portion is provided with at least one reinforcing rib, and the reinforcing rib extends from the operating end to the limiting rib.

[0016] The operating part is located at the edge of the top of the pot cover. The pot cover assembly also includes a decorative part fixed to the cover body. The decorative part has a side wall located on the side of the cover body and a top wall located on the top of the cover body. The connecting end is rotatably connected to the top wall.

[0017] The upper edge of the operating end is higher than the upper edge of the connecting end to form a pressing curved surface on the upper surface of the operating member. When the operating member is not driven, the upper edge of the operating end is not lower than the upper surface of the cover.

[0018] The utility model also discloses a cooking utensil, comprising a pot body with a cooking cavity, and also comprising the above-mentioned pot cover assembly; one end of the pot cover assembly is rotatably connected to the pot body, and the other end is provided with a clamping portion, which can cooperate with the pot body to lock with the pot body, and the operating member is used to control the unlocking of the clamping portion and the pot body.

[0019] Due to the adoption of the above technical solution, the beneficial effects achieved by the utility model are as follows:

[0020] 1. In the present invention, the rotating end of the operating member is rotatably connected to the pot lid assembly, so that the operating end can rotate up and down around the connection. When the user presses the operating end, the operating end rotates downward and triggers the transmission mechanism inside the lid body. At this time, the pot lid assembly and the pot body are unlocked, and the lid is opened.

[0021] After the operating member is assembled, the limiting rib of the mating portion extends into the accommodating space within the cover. A stopper is provided above the limiting rib in the accommodating space, thus limiting the rib's upward position. When the operating member deforms upward until it is stopped by the limiting rib and the stopper, the stopper prevents further upward deformation. Furthermore, the downward pressure exerted by the stopper on the limiting rib resists further deformation. This limits the deformation of the operating member, preventing it from protruding excessively from the cover surface, ensuring a high-quality appearance and reducing the risk of false triggering. It also prevents significant changes in the operating member's rotational travel, thus ensuring a comfortable user experience.

[0022] 2. As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the limiting rib extends horizontally to form a stop surface on its upper surface, and the lower surface of the stop portion has a mating surface that mates with the stop surface. With the stop surface and the mating surface contacting the stop, the abutment between the limiting rib and the stop portion is more stable and reliable. Furthermore, the planar structure can better disperse the abutment force between the two, evenly distributing it across the planar structure and avoiding stress concentration and damage.

[0023] 3. As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the mating portion extends outwardly at an angle compared to the operating end, and the limiting rib is provided at the lower end of the mating portion. Compared with the manner in which the mating portion extends vertically, the mating portion extends at an angle, which can reduce the size of the operating member in the height direction, thereby reducing the space of the cover body used to accommodate the operating member, helping to reduce the thickness of the cover body, making the pot cover assembly thinner and lighter, and contributing to a miniaturized design. In addition, since the limiting rib is located at the lower end of the mating portion, the limiting rib and the operating member are staggered, and the accommodating space can be set on one side of the accommodating groove, so that the operating member is located in the accommodating groove, and the limiting rib extends into the accommodating space on one side, so as to further optimize the structural layout inside the cover body and reduce the thickness of the cover body.

[0024] 4. As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the operating part is located at the edge of the top of the pot cover, and the pot cover assembly also includes a decorative part fixed to the cover body, the decorative part has a side wall located on the side of the cover body, and a top wall located on the top of the cover body, and the connecting end is rotatably connected to the top wall. The operating part and the decorative part are rotatably connected, and the operating part and the decorative part can be used as a component. The decorative part and the operating part are first assembled and then fixed to the cover body together, thereby simplifying the assembly steps and improving assembly efficiency. At the same time, the above components can be mass-produced. When repairing or replacing, the decorative part and the operating part can be directly replaced separately without replacing the cover body, thereby reducing maintenance costs and not affecting the normal use of the operating part.

[0025] In addition, there is no need to provide a connection structure on the cover body for rotationally connecting with the operating member, thereby simplifying the structure of the cover body and reducing the difficulty of processing.

[0026] 5. As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the upper edge of the operating end is higher than the upper edge of the connecting end, forming a curved pressing surface on the upper surface of the operating member. When the operating member is not actuated, the upper edge of the operating end is no lower than the upper surface of the cover. The upwardly curved pressing surface makes it more comfortable for the user to operate the operating end. Because the operating end is tilted upward, the user's force when pressing the operating end is more stable, preventing slipping during the pressing process and improving the user experience. In addition, the operating end is no lower than the upper surface of the cover, which enables the operating member to provide a clear visual reminder to the user of the operation.

[0039] In order to more clearly illustrate the overall concept of the present invention, a detailed description is given below in combination with the accompanying drawings by way of examples.

[0040] In the following description, many specific details are set forth to facilitate a full understanding of the present invention. However, the present invention may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein. Therefore, the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0041] In addition, in the description of the present invention, it should be understood that the terms "top", "bottom", "inside", "outside", "axial", "radial", "circumferential", etc., indicating the orientation or position relationship, are based on the orientation or position relationship shown in the accompanying drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description, rather than indicating or implying that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore cannot be understood as a limitation on the present invention.

[0042] In this utility model, unless otherwise expressly specified or limited, the terms "installed," "connected," "connect," "fixed," etc. should be understood in a broad sense. For example, they can refer to fixed connection, detachable connection, or integration; mechanical connection, electrical connection, or communication; direct connection or indirect connection through an intermediate medium; internal communication between two components or interaction between two components. For those skilled in the art, the specific meanings of the above terms in this utility model can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0043] In the present invention, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the first feature "above" or "below" the second feature may be that the first and second features are in direct contact, or the first and second features are in indirect contact through an intermediate medium. In the description of this specification, the description with reference to the terms "implementation method", "embodiment", "one embodiment", "example" or "specific example" means that the specific features, structures, materials or characteristics described in conjunction with the embodiment or example are included in at least one embodiment or example of the present invention. In this specification, the schematic expressions of the above terms do not necessarily refer to the same embodiment or example. Moreover, the specific features, structures, materials or characteristics described may be combined in an appropriate manner in any one or more embodiments or examples.

[0044] like Figure 1 、 Figure 2As shown, a pot cover assembly includes a cover body 1 and an operating member 2 arranged on the cover body 1, the operating member 2 has a connecting end 21 and an operating end 22, the operating end 22 can rotate relative to the cover body 1, the operating end 22 has a matching portion 23 extending downward, the matching portion 23 is provided with a limiting rib 24, the cover body 1 is provided with a accommodating space 14, the limiting rib 24 extends into the accommodating space 14, the accommodating space 14 is provided with a stop portion 141, the stop portion 141 is located above the limiting rib 24 so as to be able to cooperate with the limiting rib 24 for stopping.

[0045] In the present invention, the rotating end of the operating member 2 is rotatably connected to the pot lid assembly, so that the operating end 22 can rotate up and down around the connection. When the user presses the operating end 22, the operating end 22 rotates downward and triggers the transmission mechanism inside the lid body 1. At this time, the pot lid assembly and the pot body are unlocked, and the lid is opened.

[0046] After the operating member 2 is assembled, the limiting rib 24 of the mating portion 23 extends into the accommodating space 14 within the cover 1. A stopper 141 is provided above the limiting rib 24 within the accommodating space 14, thereby limiting the upward position of the limiting rib 24. When the operating member 2 deforms upward until it is stopped by the limiting rib 24 and the stopper 141, the stopping force of the stopper 141 prevents further upward deformation of the operating member 2. Furthermore, the downward pressure of the stopper 141 on the limiting rib 24 resists deformation of the operating member 2. This limits the deformation of the operating member 2, preventing it from protruding excessively from the surface of the cover 1, ensuring a high-quality appearance and reducing the risk of false triggering. It also prevents significant changes in the rotational travel of the operating member 2, thereby ensuring a good user experience.

[0047] It should be noted that the present invention does not limit the positions of the stop portion 141 and the limiting rib 24 in the initial state. In one embodiment, after assembly is completed, the stop portion 141 and the limiting rib 24 are already in contact. At this time, the stop portion 141 can form a stop for the limiting rib 24, thereby limiting the upward deformation of the operating end 22. In another embodiment, after assembly is completed, the stop portion 141 and the limiting rib 24 are not in contact, leaving space between them for the operating end 22 to slightly deform upward. When the operating end 22 deforms to the point where the limiting rib 24 contacts the stop portion 141, the stop portion 141 will form a stop for the limiting rib 24, preventing the operating end 22 from further deforming upward.

[0048] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, Figure 5 、 Figure 6 As shown, the limiting rib 24 extends in the horizontal direction to form a stop plane 241 on the upper surface of the limiting rib 24 , and the lower surface of the stopping portion 141 has a matching plane 142 that matches the stop plane 241 .

[0049] Through the contact stop between the stop plane 241 and the matching plane 142, the abutment between the limiting rib 24 and the stop portion 141 is more stable and reliable, and the planar structure can better disperse the abutment force between the two, so that the abutment force is evenly dispersed on the planar structure, avoiding stress concentration and damage.

[0050] It should be noted that since the connection end 21 of the operating member 2 is fixed, when the operating end 22 deforms upward, it deforms upward in an arc-shaped trajectory around the connection end 21. Therefore, this embodiment does not limit the extension direction of the stop plane 241 and the mating plane 142. They can be planes extending in the horizontal direction or planes extending at a certain angle to the horizontal plane. In other words, after the limiting rib 24 and the stop portion 141 come into contact, the contact between the two can be surface contact (two parallel planes contact) or line contact (two non-parallel planes contact).

[0051] Preferably, if Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 6 As shown, the pot cover assembly also includes a snap-fitting portion 11 arranged inside the cover body 1, which is used to snap-fit and lock with the pot body. The snap-fitting portion 11 has a sensing portion 12 located below the accommodating space 14, and the lower surface of the limiting rib 24 has a contact arc surface 242 for cooperating with the sensing portion 12.

[0052] When the user presses the operating member 2, the operating end 22 swings downward, thereby triggering the sensing portion 12 inside the lid 1, pushing the sensing portion 12 to move, thereby causing the engaging portion 11 to move and unlock the lid 1. Since the operating end 22 performs a rotational motion when the user presses the operating end 22, and its motion trajectory is an arc, the contact position between the limiting rib 24 and the sensing portion 12 changes continuously as the operating end 22 swings. By setting the lower end of the limiting rib 24 to a contact arc surface 242, the contact position between the limiting rib 24 and the sensing portion 12 changes along the arc surface. While ensuring that a continuous and stable driving force is applied to the sensing portion 12, the frictional resistance between the two during the movement of the operating end 22 is reduced, resulting in smoother movement, avoiding jamming, and a more comfortable user operation feel.

[0053] Preferably, if Figure 6 As shown, the limiting rib 24 is semicircular in shape as a whole, with a stop plane 241 formed on the upper side for cooperating with the stop portion 141 , and a contact arc surface 242 formed on the lower side for cooperating with the sensing portion 12 .

[0054] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, Figure 2 、 Figure 4 、 Figure 5As shown, the upper surface of the cover body 1 is provided with a receiving groove 13 for accommodating the operating member 2 , and the groove wall of the receiving groove 13 is opened with a through opening 131 connected to the accommodating space 14 , and the limiting rib 24 passes through the through opening 131 to enter the accommodating space 14 .

[0055] The accommodating groove 13 accommodates at least a portion of the operating member 2, preventing it from protruding excessively from the upper surface of the lid 1 and reducing the size of the lid assembly. The walls of the accommodating groove 13 also provide a positioning mechanism for the operating member 2. The accommodating space 14 is located below or to one side of the accommodating groove 13. The mating portion 23 passes through the opening 131, allowing the retaining rib 24 to enter the accommodating space 14.

[0056] Specifically, such as Figure 2 As shown, since the movement of the operating end 22 is up and down swinging, in order to avoid wear between the side of the operating member 2 and the side wall of the accommodating groove 13, the side of the operating end 22 is designed to be a curved surface structure to reduce the interference between the operating end 22 and the side wall of the accommodating groove 13 when the operating end 22 moves.

[0057] Furthermore, when the operating end 22 swings, the limiting rib 24 and the mating portion 23 will move laterally. To facilitate smooth swinging of the operating end 22, in one embodiment, the opening 131 is designed as a laterally extending strip. For example, the opening 131 is formed on the bottom wall of the accommodating groove 13, with the accommodating space 14 located below the accommodating groove 13. When the operating end 22 swings, the mating portion 23 can move within the strip-shaped opening 131.

[0058] In another embodiment, Figure 2 、 Figure 4 、 Figure 5 As shown, the opening 131 extends from the bottom wall of the receiving groove 13 to the side wall of the receiving groove 13. In this embodiment, the receiving space 14 is located on one lateral side of the receiving groove 13. The opening 131 is arranged in an L-shape with the bottom wall and side wall of the receiving groove 13, thereby allowing the mating portion 23 to obliquely pass through the opening 131 and extend into the receiving space 14. Specifically, the length of the opening 131 on the bottom wall of the receiving groove 13 is greater than the length on the side wall.

[0059] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, Figure 3 、 Figure 6 As shown, the matching portion 23 extends outwardly at an angle compared to the operating end 22 , and the limiting rib 24 is provided at the lower end of the matching portion 23 .

[0060] The oblique extension of the mating portion 23 can reduce the height dimension of the operating member 2 compared to a configuration in which the mating portion 23 extends vertically, thereby reducing the space within the lid 1 for accommodating the operating member 2. This helps reduce the thickness of the lid 1, making the pot lid assembly thinner and lighter, and contributing to a more compact design. Furthermore, since the limiting rib 24 is located at the lower end of the mating portion 23, the limiting rib 24 and the operating member 2 are offset, allowing the accommodating space 14 to be positioned on one side of the accommodating groove 13, positioning the operating member 2 within the accommodating groove 13 while the limiting rib 24 extends into the accommodating space 14 on one side. This further optimizes the internal structural layout of the lid 1 and reduces the thickness of the lid 1.

[0061] Specifically, such as Figure 2 As shown, the connection end 21 of the operating member 2 is located at the edge of the cover 1, and the operating end 22 is located on the side close to the center of the cover 1. Therefore, the extending direction of the mating portion 23 is toward the center of the cover 1. The limiting rib 24 is located at the end of the operating member 2, and the force arm for pressing the operating member 2 remains unchanged, ensuring a good pressing feel.

[0062] The present embodiment does not limit the shape of the fitting portion 23, which may be a straight line extending to form an inclined surface on its surface, or may be a straight line extending to form an inclined surface on its surface. Figure 7 The curve shown extends to form an arc on its surface.

[0063] Furthermore, if Figure 6 、 Figure 7 As shown, the mating portion 23 is provided with at least one reinforcing rib 26 , and the reinforcing rib 26 extends from the operating end 22 to the limiting rib 24 .

[0064] The reinforcing rib 26 connects the limiting rib 24 and the panel of the operating member 2, thereby increasing the structural strength of the mating portion 23 and the limiting rib 24 and further reducing the possibility of deformation. Figure 7 As shown, the width of the reinforcing rib 26 gradually increases from the limiting rib 24 to the operating end 22. Figure 7 As shown, there are two reinforcing ribs 26 and they are spaced apart along the width direction of the fitting portion 23. Of course, there can also be multiple reinforcing ribs 26, or one, which is not limited here.

[0065] Furthermore, if Figure 6 As shown, the reinforcing rib 26 is located in the space enclosed by the matching portion 23 and the panel of the operating member 2 to reduce the overall volume of the operating member 2 and avoid interference between the reinforcing rib 26 and other structures of the cover 1.

[0066] It should be noted that the connection end 21 of the operating member 2 can be rotatably connected to the cover body 1, and can also be rotatably connected to other additional components.

[0067] Preferably, if Figure 1 、 Figure 3As shown, the operating part 2 is located at the edge of the top of the pot cover, and the pot cover assembly also includes a decorative part 3 fixed to the cover body 1. The decorative part 3 has a side wall 31 located on the side of the cover body 1 and a top wall 32 located on the top of the cover body 1. The connecting end 21 is rotatably connected to the top wall 32.

[0068] The operating member 2 is rotatably connected to the decorative member 3, allowing the two members to be assembled as a single component. The decorative member 3 and the operating member 2 can then be secured to the cover 1. This simplifies assembly steps and improves efficiency. Furthermore, these components can be mass-produced. During repair or replacement, the decorative member 3 and the operating member 2 can be replaced independently without replacing the cover 1, reducing repair costs and ensuring the normal operation of the operating member 2.

[0069] In addition, the cover body 1 does not need to be provided with a connection structure for rotationally connecting with the operating member 2, thereby simplifying the structure of the cover body 1 and reducing the difficulty of processing.

[0070] The side wall 31 of the decorative member 3 covers part of the side area of the cover body 1, and the top wall 32 covers part of the top edge area of the cover body 1, which plays a decorative role on the cover body 1 and improves the appearance quality of the pot cover assembly.

[0071] like Figure 7 As shown, the connecting end 21 is provided with a rotating shaft 27, and the top wall 32 is provided with a rotating shaft 27 hole. Alternatively, a rotating shaft 27 hole is provided at the connecting end 21, and a rotating shaft 27 is provided correspondingly on the top wall 32. Figure 3 As shown, a torsion spring 33 is provided at the connection between the two to provide a restoring force for the operating member 2 to return to its original position.

[0072] As a preferred embodiment, Figure 2 、 Figure 3 、 Figure 6 As shown, the upper edge of the operating end 22 is higher than the upper edge of the connecting end 21 to form a pressing curved surface 25 on the upper surface of the operating member 2. When the operating member 2 is not driven, the upper edge of the operating end 22 is not lower than the upper surface of the cover body 1.

[0073] The upwardly curved pressing surface 25 makes it more comfortable for the user to operate the operating end 22. Since the operating end 22 is tilted upward, the user can apply more stable force when pressing the operating end 22, avoiding slipping during the pressing process and improving the user experience. In addition, the operating end 22 is not lower than the upper surface of the cover body 1, which can make the operating member 2 provide a clear visual reminder to the user when operating.

[0074] Preferably, if Figure 6 As shown, the pressing curved surface 25 is an arc surface. Of course, it can also be an inclined surface or other irregular curved surfaces, which is not limited here.

[0075] The utility model also discloses a cooking utensil, comprising a pot body with a cooking cavity, and also comprising the above-mentioned pot cover assembly; one end of the pot cover assembly is rotatably connected to the pot body, and the other end is provided with a clamping portion 11, which can cooperate with the pot body to lock with the pot body, and the operating member 2 is used to control the unlocking of the clamping portion 11 and the pot body.

[0076] When the user presses the operating member 2 to drive the clamping portion 11 to loosen from the pot body, one end of the pot cover assembly is unlocked from the pot body, and one end of the pot cover flips upward to open the cooking cavity, completing the lid opening.

[0077] Anything not described in this utility model can be achieved by adopting or drawing on existing technologies.

[0078] The various embodiments in this specification are described in a progressive manner, and the same or similar parts between the various embodiments can be referred to each other. Each embodiment focuses on the differences from other embodiments.

[0079] The above description is merely an embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention.
