Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of small household appliances, and in particular to a packaging structure of a cooking utensil. Background Art
[0002] Cooking appliances, such as rice cookers, slow cookers, and pressure cookers, typically consist of an outer shell and an inner pot. The inner pot is located inside the outer shell. The outer shell is typically made of metal or plastic, providing insulation and safety. The inner pot, which comes into direct contact with the food, is typically made of a material with good thermal conductivity, such as aluminum, stainless steel, or a special non-stick coating, to efficiently transfer heat and allow for cooking.
[0003] In the related art, the cooking utensils are not fixed in place as a whole, and only the inner pot is fixed. During the product drop test, the product will shake, causing the hardware shell to deform and dent.
[0004] Therefore, the cooking utensils in the related art are not properly fixed, and there is a risk of deformation and denting of the shell. Utility Model Content
[0005] The utility model provides a packaging structure for a cooking utensil, so as to solve the problem in the related art that the cooking utensil is not properly fixed, resulting in the risk of deformation and denting of the outer shell.
[0006] The utility model provides a packaging structure for a cooking utensil. The packaging structure for the cooking utensil comprises an upper packaging. The upper packaging comprises an inner pot limiting portion and a handle limiting portion for limiting and cooperating with a handle of the cooking utensil.
[0007] By applying the technical solution of the present invention, after the cooking utensil is installed in the packaging structure of the cooking utensil, the inner pot of the cooking utensil is limited by the inner pot limiting portion of the upper packaging, and the outer shell of the cooking utensil is limited by the handle limiting portion of the upper packaging through the handle, so that a limiting and matching relationship is established between the inner pot and the outer shell of the cooking utensil, which can improve the fixing effect of the cooking utensil, so that the inner pot will not shake relative to the outer shell, and thus can avoid deformation and depression of the outer shell caused by the shaking of the inner pot relative to the outer shell.
[0008] Furthermore, the handle limit portion includes a limit rib that protrudes downward from the lower surface of the upper package. The limit rib has the advantages of simple structure and easy processing, which can improve the fixing effect of the cooking utensil without increasing the cost too much.
[0009] Furthermore, the inner sidewall of the limiting rib is provided with a handle limiting groove for cooperating with the handle. After the cooking utensil is installed in the packaging structure of the cooking utensil, the handle will extend into the handle limiting groove, at which time the handle can be limited in position by the handle limiting groove, thereby achieving the positioning of the packaging structure on the outer shell.
[0010] Furthermore, the shape of the handle retaining groove is adapted to the shape of the handle, thereby enhancing the retaining effect; and / or the distance between the lower end of the handle and the bottom of the handle retaining groove is between 5mm and 6mm, and the circumferential distance between the side of the handle and the side of the handle retaining groove is between 1mm and 3mm. Setting the dimension between the handle and the handle retaining groove within the above ranges can ensure that the handle retaining groove effectively retains the handle.
[0011] Furthermore, the thickness of the limiting retaining rib is between 15 mm and 20 mm, and the limiting retaining rib can achieve a limiting effect while having good structural strength.
[0012] Furthermore, the outer sidewall of the limiting rib is flush with the outer sidewall of the upper package. After the cooking utensil is installed in the packaging structure of the cooking utensil, the outer sidewall of the limiting rib can directly abut against the packaging box to improve the fixing effect.
[0013] Furthermore, the outer contour of the upper package is a polygonal structure, and the handle limit portion is located at the corners of the upper package, which can save the space occupied by the handle limit portion in the horizontal direction and facilitate reducing the volume of the packaging structure; and / or, the upper package has two handle limit portions arranged at intervals in the circumferential direction, and there is an avoidance gap between the two handle limit portions. Under the common limitation of the two handle limit portions, the limiting effect can be improved. There is a gap between the avoidance gap and the outer side wall of the cooking utensil. The gap can be used to facilitate the assembly of the upper package and reduce the material used for the upper package.
[0014] Furthermore, the inner pot limiting portion is located above the handle limiting portion, which facilitates the coordination between the inner pot limiting portion and the inner pot limiting portion, and the coordination between the handle limiting portion and the handle limiting portion; and / or, the inner pot limiting portion and the handle limiting portion are an integral structure or are separately spaced apart. If the inner pot limiting portion and the handle limiting portion are an integral structure, processing is facilitated. If the inner pot limiting portion and the handle limiting portion are separately spaced apart, the use of the inner pot limiting portion and the handle limiting portion is more flexible.
[0015] Furthermore, the packaging structure for the cooking utensil also includes a packaging box constructed from three layers of B corrugated cardboard or five layers of BC corrugated cardboard. The packaging box can be used to package the upper package, the lower package, and the cooking utensil. Furthermore, because the inner pot stopper of the upper package stops the inner pot of the cooking utensil in place, and the handle stopper of the upper package stops the outer shell of the cooking utensil via the handle, a restraining relationship is established between the inner pot and the outer shell of the cooking utensil, preventing the inner pot from significantly shaking relative to the outer shell. This reduces the strength requirements of the packaging box, simplifies the packaging box structure, and eliminates the need for a thicker packaging box.
[0016] Furthermore, the inner pot limiting portion is an inner pot limiting groove. After the cooking utensil is installed in the packaging structure of the cooking utensil, the upper edge of the inner pot can extend into the inner pot limiting groove and cooperate with the inner pot limiting groove; and / or, the packaging structure of the cooking utensil also includes a lower packaging, the lower packaging has an annular convex rib, the annular convex rib is used to cooperate with the outer shell of the cooking utensil in a limiting manner, and the annular convex rib can be used to limit the bottom of the outer shell, so that the outer shell is firmly fixed in the packaging structure, reducing the risk of the outer shell and the base falling off, and the drop test is successfully passed; and / or, the top of the upper packaging has a cover body limiting groove for accommodating the upper cover of the cooking utensil. The cover body limiting groove can be used to both accommodate the upper cover and limit the upper cover. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0029] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are only some embodiments of the present invention, not all embodiments. The following description of at least one exemplary embodiment is actually only illustrative and is in no way intended to limit the present invention and its application or use. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0030] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, an embodiment of the present invention provides a packaging structure for a cooking utensil, wherein the cooking utensil includes an outer shell 10 and an inner pot 20 arranged in the outer shell 10, and a handle 11 is provided on the outer shell 10. The packaging structure of the cooking utensil includes an upper packaging 30, and the upper packaging 30 has an inner pot limiting portion 31 for limiting cooperation with the inner pot 20 and a handle limiting portion 32 for limiting cooperation with the handle 11.
[0031] By applying the packaging structure of the cooking utensil provided in this embodiment, after the cooking utensil is installed in the packaging structure of the cooking utensil, the inner pot limiting portion 31 of the upper packaging 30 is used to limit the inner pot 20 of the cooking utensil, and the handle limiting portion 32 of the upper packaging 30 is used to limit the outer shell 10 of the cooking utensil through the handle 11, so that a limiting and matching relationship exists between the inner pot 20 and the outer shell 10 of the cooking utensil, which can improve the fixing effect of the cooking utensil, so that the inner pot 20 will not shake significantly relative to the outer shell 10, thereby preventing the outer shell 10 from being deformed or dented due to the shaking of the inner pot 20 relative to the outer shell 10.
[0032] It should be noted that, in this embodiment, the outer shell 10 of the cooking appliance is made of metal.
[0033] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, in this embodiment, the handle stopper 32 includes a stop rib 321 that protrudes downward from the lower surface of the upper packaging 30. The stop rib 321 has the advantages of simple structure and easy processing, which can improve the fixing effect of the cooking utensil without excessively increasing the cost.
[0034] like Figure 3 As shown, the inner sidewall of the limiting rib 321 is provided with a handle limiting groove 3211 for accommodating the handle 11 and cooperating with the handle 11 to limit the position. After the cooking utensil is installed in the packaging structure of the cooking utensil, the handle 11 will extend into the handle limiting groove 3211. At this time, the handle limiting groove 3211 can be used to limit the handle 11, thereby achieving the packaging structure to limit the outer shell 10.
[0035] It should be noted that the middle of the limiting rib 321 is hollowed out to form the handle limiting groove 3211, which saves materials and costs while increasing the buffering force.
[0036] In this embodiment, the shape of the handle limiting groove 3211 is adapted to the shape of the handle 11 , which can improve the limiting effect.
[0037] like Figure 4 As shown, in other embodiments, if the shape of the handle 11 changes, the handle limiting groove 3211 is also adaptively adjusted according to the shape of the handle 11. It should be noted that, Figure 4 The two handle limit portions 32 are axisymmetric structures to match the two handles 11.
[0038] The distance between the lower end of the handle 11 and the bottom of the handle stop groove 3211 is between 5 mm and 6 mm, and the circumferential distance between the side of the handle 11 and the side of the handle stop groove 3211 is between 1 mm and 3 mm. Setting the distance between the handle 11 and the handle stop groove 3211 within the above range can ensure that the handle stop groove 3211 effectively limits the handle 11.
[0039] Specifically, the distance between the lower end of the handle 11 and the bottom of the handle stop groove 3211 can be 5 mm, 5.5 mm, 6 mm, or any other value between 5 mm and 6 mm. The circumferential distance between the side of the handle 11 and the side of the handle stop groove 3211 can be 1 mm, 2 mm, 3 mm, or any other value between 1 mm and 3 mm.
[0040] The thickness of the position-limiting retaining rib 321 is between 15 mm and 20 mm. The position-limiting retaining rib 321 can achieve a position-limiting effect while having good structural strength.
[0041] Specifically, the thickness of the limiting rib 321 can be 15 mm, 17.5 mm, 20 mm, or any other value between 15 mm and 20 mm.
[0042] In this embodiment, the length of the limiting rib 321 is 60 mm and the thickness is 18 mm, which ensures that the limiting rib has a certain wall thickness so that the foam does not break when falling and can pass the test smoothly.
[0043] like Figure 2 As shown, the outer contour of the upper package 30 is a polygonal structure, and the handle limit portion 32 is located at the corner of the upper package 30. With the above structure, the handle limit portion 32 can be saved. Figure 1 The space occupied in the horizontal direction is reduced, which makes it easy to reduce the volume of the packaging structure.
[0044] Among them, two handles 11 are provided on the middle plate of the shell 10, and the two handles 11 are arranged at intervals in the circumferential direction of the shell 10. The upper packaging 30 has two handle limiting parts 32 corresponding to the two handles 11 respectively. Under the common limiting of the two handle limiting parts 32, the limiting effect can be improved.
[0045] Specifically, there is an avoidance gap 322 between the two handle limit portions 32. There is a gap between the avoidance gap 322 and the outer wall of the cooking utensil. The gap can be used to facilitate the assembly of the upper packaging and reduce the material used for the upper packaging.
[0046] It should be noted that the outer contour of the upper package 30 is a polygonal structure, which means that the outer contour of the upper package 30 is substantially a polygonal structure.
[0047] In this embodiment, the outer contour of the upper package 30 is generally a quadrilateral structure, and two handle limiting portions 32 are respectively provided on two diagonal corners of the quadrilateral structure.
[0048] like Figure 3 As shown, the inner pot limiting portion 31 is an inner pot limiting groove 311 that is limited and matched with the upper edge of the inner pot 20. After the cooking appliance is placed in the packaging structure of the cooking appliance, the upper edge of the inner pot 20 can extend into the inner pot limiting groove 311 and be limited and matched with the inner pot limiting groove 311.
[0049] In this embodiment, the cooking appliance includes two inner pots 20 that can be stacked.
[0050] like Figure 3 As shown, the inner pot limiting portion 31 is located above the handle limiting portion 32 , which facilitates the limiting cooperation between the inner pot limiting portion 31 and the inner pot 20 and the limiting cooperation between the handle limiting portion 32 and the handle 11 .
[0051] In this embodiment, the inner pot limiting portion 31 and the handle limiting portion 32 are an integrated structure, which is convenient for processing.
[0052] In other embodiments, the inner pot limiting portion 31 and the handle limiting portion 32 can be separately arranged at intervals, and the use of the inner pot limiting portion 31 and the handle limiting portion 32 is more flexible.
[0053] like Figure 1 As shown, the packaging structure of the cooking utensil further includes a lower packaging member 40 having an annular rib 41 extending along the circumference of the outer shell 10. The annular rib 41 is disposed around the outer surface of the outer shell 10 and is configured to engage with the outer shell 10 for positional retention. The annular rib 41 secures the bottom of the outer shell 10, thereby firmly securing the outer shell 10 within the packaging structure and reducing the risk of the outer shell 10 and the base 60 falling off. The product successfully passed the drop test.
[0054] The base 60 is made of plastic.
[0055] In this embodiment, the packaging structure of the cooking utensil further comprises a packaging box, which is made of 3 layers of B corrugated board or 5 layers of BC corrugated board. The packaging box can be used to package the upper package 30, the lower package 40 and the cooking utensil.
[0056] Furthermore, since the inner pot limiting portion 31 of the upper packaging 30 limits the inner pot 20 of the cooking utensil, and the handle limiting portion 32 of the upper packaging 30 limits the outer shell 10 of the cooking utensil through the handle 11, a limiting and fitting relationship exists between the inner pot 20 and the outer shell 10 of the cooking utensil, so that the inner pot 20 will not shake significantly relative to the outer shell 10, thereby reducing the strength requirements for the packaging box, simplifying the structure of the packaging box, and eliminating the need for the packaging box to adopt other thicker forms, such as 7-layer ABC corrugated board, which can reduce material costs and be more environmentally friendly.
[0057] When the cooking utensils fall up, down, or left or right, they are fixed in place and do not swing back and forth in the packaging box, reducing the risk of deformation of the hardware casing. This packaging design can reduce the cost of the packaging structure, improve the production efficiency of the packaging structure, and better protect the hardware casing. It breaks through the existing pot-set design, solves the problem of easy deformation of the hardware casing, improves the assembly and transportation efficiency of electrical equipment, and reduces labor costs.
[0058] It should be noted that B corrugated board, BC corrugated board and ABC corrugated board are all types of corrugated cardboard. The main difference between them lies in the type of corrugated flutes and the number of layers used, which affects their physical properties and applicable packaging uses.
[0059] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the top of the upper package 30 has a cover limiting groove 33 for accommodating the upper cover 50 of the cooking utensil. The cover limiting groove 33 can be used to accommodate the upper cover 50 and limit the upper cover 50.
[0060] It should be noted that, in other embodiments, the outer sidewalls of the limiting ribs 321 are flush with the outer sidewalls of the upper packaging 30. After the cooking utensils are placed in the packaging structure of the cooking utensils, the outer sidewalls of the limiting ribs 321 can directly abut against the packaging box to improve the fixing effect.
[0061] In this embodiment, both the upper packaging and the lower packaging are made of foam material.
[0062] The lower package 40 is further provided with a power cord avoidance groove 42 for avoiding the power cord.
[0063] Among them, cooking utensils include but are not limited to electric pressure cookers, rice cookers, etc.
[0064] It should be noted that the terms used herein are only for describing specific embodiments and are not intended to limit the exemplary embodiments according to the present application. As used herein, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise, the singular form is also intended to include the plural form. In addition, it should be understood that when the terms "comprise" and / or "include" are used in this specification, they indicate the presence of features, steps, operations, devices, components and / or combinations thereof.
[0065] Unless otherwise specified, the relative arrangement of the parts and steps, numerical expressions and numerical values set forth in these embodiments do not limit the scope of the present invention. At the same time, it should be understood that, for ease of description, the sizes of the various parts shown in the accompanying drawings are not drawn according to actual proportional relationships.

Therefore, other examples of the exemplary embodiments may have different values. It should be noted that similar numbers and letters represent similar items in the following figures, and therefore, once an item is defined in one figure, it does not need to be further discussed in subsequent figures.
[0066] In the description of the present invention, it needs to be understood that the directions or positional relationships indicated by directional words such as "front, back, up, down, left, right", "horizontal, vertical, vertical, horizontal" and "top, bottom" are usually based on the directions or positional relationships shown in the drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description. Unless otherwise specified, these directional words do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific direction or be constructed and operated in a specific direction. Therefore, they cannot be understood as limiting the scope of protection of the present invention; the directional words "inside and outside" refer to the inside and outside relative to the outline of each component itself.
[0067] For ease of description, spatially relative terms such as "above", "above", "on the upper surface of", "above", etc. may be used herein to describe the spatial positional relationship of a device or feature to other devices or features as shown in the figures.
