Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of cooking utensils, and in particular to a cooking utensil. Background Art
[0002] The anti-overflow structure of the lid of existing cooking utensils generally collects or stores foam through condensation in the cavity channel to achieve bubble breaking and overflow prevention. However, both of these anti-overflow structures cannot achieve gas-liquid separation inside the cavity, and the anti-overflow effect is poor. In addition, the cover needs to be cleaned in time after use, resulting in a poor user experience.
[0003] Therefore, a cooking appliance is needed to at least partially solve the above problems. Utility Model Content
[0004] The Summary of the Utility Model introduces a series of simplified concepts that will be further described in the Detailed Description of the Implementation Method. The Summary of the Utility Model of this application is not intended to limit the key features and essential technical features of the claimed technical solution, nor is it intended to determine the scope of protection of the claimed technical solution.
[0005] To at least partially solve the above problems, the present application provides a cooking appliance, comprising:
[0006] A pot body, the pot body comprising a cooking cavity for holding food, the cooking cavity having a cooking cavity opening for taking food in and out; and
[0007] A cover body, used to cover the pot body, the cover body comprising:
[0008] The overflow-proof cavity includes a bottom wall for covering the cooking cavity opening when the lid covers the pot body. The overflow-proof cavity is configured to communicate with the outside. The bottom wall includes a second bottom wall portion and a fourth bottom wall portion. The bottom wall is provided with a plurality of bottom wall through holes, and the bottom wall through holes are used to connect the overflow-proof cavity with the cooking cavity. The bottom wall through holes include at least one first bottom wall through hole and at least one second bottom wall through hole, wherein the first bottom wall through hole is smaller than the second bottom wall through hole, the first bottom wall through hole is provided on the second bottom wall portion, and the second bottom wall through hole is provided on the fourth bottom wall portion.
[0009] The ratio of the volume of the anti-overflow cavity to the volume of the cooking cavity is a first ratio, and the value range of the first ratio is [1 / 40, 4 / 5].
[0010] According to the present application, by arranging an overflow prevention cavity on the cover body, the overflow energy can be absorbed and the overflowed bubbles can be stored, thereby achieving overflow prevention. The first bottom wall through hole and the second bottom wall through hole are different in size. The foam is more obstructed at the first bottom wall through hole and tends to enter the overflow prevention cavity from the larger second bottom wall through hole, while the steam enters the overflow prevention cavity from the first bottom wall through hole. Therefore, the bubbles (foam) and steam enter the overflow prevention cavity through different bottom wall through holes respectively, realizing gas-liquid separation, so that the steam can break the foam in the overflow prevention cavity and enhance the overflow prevention effect. The size of the overflow prevention cavity matches the size of the inner pot to avoid the poor overflow prevention effect caused by the volume ratio of the two being too small, or the high material cost caused by the ratio being too high.
[0011] Optionally, the cover further includes a steam exhaust hole communicating with both the outside world and the anti-overflow cavity, so that the anti-overflow cavity communicates with the outside world through the steam exhaust hole.
[0012] The first bottom wall through hole is closer to the exhaust through hole than the second bottom wall through hole.
[0013] According to the present application, the first bottom wall through-hole is closer to the steam exhaust through-hole than the second bottom wall through-hole, so that the space around the steam exhaust through-hole is preferentially occupied by steam. As a result, foam will come into contact with the steam as it moves toward the steam exhaust through-hole, causing the foam to be broken by the steam, thereby preventing overflow. Furthermore, this also facilitates steam to be discharged from the cover body through the first bottom wall through-hole and the steam exhaust through-hole.
[0014] Optionally, in a projection of the cooking utensil along the up-down direction, at least part of the first bottom wall through hole is located between the second bottom wall through hole and the steam exhaust through hole.
[0015] According to the present application, at least part of the first bottom wall through hole is located between the second bottom wall through hole and the exhaust through hole, ensuring that the foam will come into contact with the steam when moving toward the exhaust through hole, so that the gas discharged from the first bottom wall through hole will accumulate from the second bottom wall through hole to the bubbles (foam) near the first bottom wall through hole and break.
[0016] Optionally, the cover further includes a steam exhaust component, and the steam exhaust component is configured to communicate with the outside world.
[0017] The steam exhaust component is provided with the steam exhaust through hole, so that the anti-overflow cavity is configured to communicate with the outside through the steam exhaust component.
[0018] According to the present application, the exhaust hole is provided in the exhaust component, and the exhaust component can be designed according to specific circumstances to adapt to the cover body and the anti-overflow cavity, thereby increasing the flexibility of the design.
[0019] Optionally, the exhaust component is connected to the top of the anti-overflow cavity, and the exhaust component includes an exhaust cavity extending in the up-down direction and communicating with the outside world, and the exhaust through hole is provided on the side wall of the exhaust cavity.
[0020] According to the present application, the exhaust holes are arranged on the side walls of the exhaust chamber, so that the side walls can block the bubbles accumulated at the first bottom wall holes from entering the exhaust chamber.
[0021] Optionally, the total area of the exhaust holes is not less than the total area of the first bottom wall holes; and / or
[0022] The height difference between the lower edge of the exhaust hole and the bottom of the exhaust component is at least 5 mm.
[0023] According to the present application, the total area of the exhaust holes is no less than the total area of the first bottom wall holes, facilitating smooth entry of steam exhausted from the first bottom wall holes into the exhaust chamber. A certain height difference exists between the lower edge of the exhaust holes and the bottommost portion of the exhaust component, preventing bubbles (foam) from overflowing from the first bottom wall holes, which have not yet broken down.
[0024] Optionally, the bottom wall of the steam exhaust cavity is not provided with an opening; or the opening of the bottom wall of the steam exhaust cavity and the bottom wall through hole are staggered along the radial direction of the cover body.
[0025] According to the present application, the bottom wall of the exhaust chamber is not provided with an opening, or the opening of the bottom wall of the exhaust chamber is staggered with the through hole of the bottom wall, so as to prevent bubbles (foam) from directly entering the exhaust chamber from the opening of the bottom wall of the exhaust chamber and causing overflow.
[0026] Optionally, the pot body includes:
[0027] a receiving cavity; and
[0028] The inner pot body can be removed and placed in the accommodating cavity for holding food. The inner space of the inner pot body forms the cooking cavity, and the volume of the inner pot body is the volume of the cooking cavity.
[0029] According to the present application, the cooking container can be removed for easy cleaning. The volume of the inner pot is the volume of the cooking cavity, which facilitates ensuring the relationship between the volume of the anti-overflow cavity and the volume of the cooking cavity.
[0030] Optionally, a minimum distance between an edge of the first bottom wall through hole and an edge of the second bottom wall through hole is not less than 10 mm.
[0031] According to the present application, the edge of the first bottom wall through hole is at a certain distance from the edge of the second bottom wall through hole, ensuring that the bubbles (foam) entering from the second bottom wall through hole have sufficient distance to move, reducing the kinetic energy of the bubbles (foam) when moving to the first bottom wall through hole, and also allowing the foam to cool down and reduce the risk of overflow.
[0032] Optionally, the area of each of the first bottom wall through holes is in the range of [1.77 mm2, 20 mm2]; and or
[0033] The area of each of the second bottom wall through holes ranges from [20 mm2 to 300 mm2].
[0034] According to the present application, by limiting the single area of the first bottom wall through hole and the second bottom wall through hole, the first bottom wall through hole can better block the bubbles (foam) in the pot, avoiding the situation where the bubbles are discharged from the first bottom wall through hole and overflow the pot, and at the same time, the air flow rate at the first bottom wall through hole is increased to facilitate breaking through the bubbles in the anti-overflow cavity.
[0035] Optionally, the total area of the first bottom wall through holes is in the range of [60 mm2, 200 mm2]; and / or
[0036] The total area of the second bottom wall through holes ranges from [100 mm2 to 1000 mm2].
[0037] According to the present application, by limiting the total area of the first bottom wall through hole and the second bottom wall through hole, the ability of the overflow prevention cavity to receive steam and foam can be balanced, thereby achieving a better overflow prevention effect.
[0038] Optionally, the number of the first bottom wall through holes is 10 to 64, and / or
[0039] The number of the second bottom wall through holes is 5 to 30.
[0040] According to the present application, by limiting the number of the first bottom wall through holes and the second bottom wall through holes, the ability of the overflow prevention cavity to receive steam and foam can be balanced, thereby achieving a better overflow prevention effect.
[0041] Optionally, a ratio of the total area of the second bottom wall through holes to the total area of the first bottom wall through holes is a second ratio, and a value range of the second ratio is [2, 5].
[0042] According to the present application, by limiting the ratio of the total area of the second bottom wall through holes to the total area of the first bottom wall through holes, the ability of the overflow prevention cavity to receive steam and foam can be balanced to achieve a better overflow prevention effect.
[0043] Optionally, the first bottom wall through hole is higher than the second bottom wall through hole.
[0044] According to the present application, the first bottom wall through hole is higher than the second bottom wall through hole, so that the first bottom wall through hole is less likely to be blocked by foam, which is conducive to allowing steam to enter the anti-overflow cavity through the first bottom wall through hole to achieve gas-liquid separation.
[0045] Optionally, the height difference between the lowest point of the first bottom wall through hole and the highest point of the second bottom wall through hole is greater than or equal to 3 mm; and / or
[0046] The second bottom wall through hole is arranged at the lowest position of the bottom wall.
[0047] According to the present application, a certain height difference is provided between the first bottom wall through-hole and the second bottom wall through-hole to ensure that the foam does not contact the first bottom wall through-hole, thereby avoiding affecting the overflow prevention effect. The second bottom wall through-hole is arranged at the lowest position of the bottom wall to ensure the maximum height difference between the first bottom wall through-hole and the second bottom wall through-hole.
[0048] Optionally, the second bottom wall portion and the fourth bottom wall portion are arranged along a radial direction of the bottom wall, and the fourth bottom wall portion is located on the outer periphery of the second bottom wall portion.
[0049] According to the present application, the fourth portion of the bottom wall and the second portion of the bottom wall are arranged in a radial direction, which is adapted to the cross-sectional shape of the cooking cavity and is beneficial for preventing overflow.
[0050] Optionally, the fourth portion of the bottom wall is an annular area centered on the center point of the bottom wall, and the outer periphery of the fourth portion of the bottom wall is the outer periphery of the bottom wall; and / or.
[0051] The bottom wall through holes include a plurality of second bottom wall through holes, and the plurality of second bottom wall through holes are evenly arranged along a circumferential direction on the bottom wall.
[0052] According to the present application, the fourth bottom wall portion is disposed at the outermost edge of the bottom wall, thereby maximizing the distance between the first bottom wall through-hole and the second bottom wall through-hole. Multiple second bottom wall through-holes are evenly arranged along the circumference of the bottom wall, facilitating the entry of bubbles into the anti-overflow cavity and the reflux of liquid.
[0053] Optionally, the bottom wall further includes a third bottom wall portion, and the third bottom wall portion is an annular area located between the second bottom wall portion and the fourth bottom wall portion along the radial direction of the bottom wall.
[0054] According to the present application, a third bottom wall portion is provided between the second bottom wall portion and the fourth bottom wall portion, so as to increase the distance between the first bottom wall through hole and the second bottom wall through hole.
[0055] Optionally, in a cross-section of the cover body passing through the geometric center point of the second portion of the bottom wall and extending in the up-down direction, the third portion of the bottom wall includes two sub-bottom wall third portions respectively located on both sides of the geometric center point of the second portion of the bottom wall, wherein any one of the sub-bottom wall third portions has an arbitrary first position point and a second position point, wherein when the first position point is closer to the second portion of the bottom wall than the second position point, the first position point is not lower than the second position point.
[0056] According to the present application, the two sub-bottom wall third portions of the bottom wall third portion are each configured to extend downward from the bottom wall second portion to the bottom wall fourth portion, forming an upwardly convex conical structure on the bottom wall of the overflow prevention cavity. This creates a pressure difference between the first bottom wall through-hole and the second bottom wall through-hole, facilitating the discharge of steam through the first bottom wall through-hole. Simultaneously, it facilitates the return of liquid to the second bottom wall through-hole after bubbles burst.
[0057] Optionally, in an axial section of the cover body passing through the geometric center point of the second portion of the bottom wall and extending in the up-down direction, the third portion of the sub-bottom wall is one of a straight line, a curve and a broken line, or the third portion of the bottom wall is a combination of a straight line and a curve.
[0058] According to the present application, there are multiple options for the geometric shape of the third portion of the sub-bottom wall to meet different practical needs.
[0059] Optionally,
[0060] The third portion of the bottom wall is provided with at least one groove extending in a radial direction; and / or
[0061] The third portion of the bottom wall is provided with a sensor through hole for allowing the sensor to pass through.
[0062] According to the present application, the third portion of the bottom wall is provided with at least one radially extending groove.

[0063] Optionally, the geometric center point of the second portion of the bottom wall coincides with or deviates from the geometric center point of the bottom wall.
[0064] According to the present application, the geometric center point of the second part of the bottom wall coincides with or deviates from the geometric center point of the bottom wall, which facilitates adjusting the position of the second part of the bottom wall on the bottom wall according to the specific structure of the cover body (such as the position of the steam valve), thereby achieving better overflow prevention effect.
[0065] Optionally,
[0066] The bottom wall is configured as a flat plate.

However, it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that the present application can be implemented without one or more of these details. In other examples, some technical features well known in the art are not described in order to avoid confusion with the present application.
[0192] In order to thoroughly understand the present application, a detailed description will be provided in the following description. It should be understood that these embodiments are provided to make the disclosure of the present application thorough and complete, and to fully convey the concepts of these exemplary embodiments to those of ordinary skill in the art. Obviously, the implementation of the embodiments of the present application is not limited to the specific details familiar to those skilled in the art.

Furthermore, for example, the term "first component" itself does not imply the existence of a "second component," nor does the term "second component" itself imply the existence of a "first component." The use of terms such as "first," "second," and "third" does not indicate any order; these terms should be interpreted as names.
[0194] It should be noted that the terms "upper", "lower", "front", "back", "left", "right", "inside", "outside" and similar expressions used in this application are for illustrative purposes only and are not limiting.
[0195] In this document, “equal”, “same”, etc. are not strictly limited in a mathematical and / or geometric sense, but also include errors that can be understood by those skilled in the art and are allowed in manufacturing or use.
[0196] Unless otherwise stated, numerical ranges herein include not only the entire range between its two endpoints but also the several sub-ranges contained therein.
[0197] Now, exemplary embodiments according to the present application will be described in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0198] like Figure 1 As shown, in a specific embodiment, the cooking utensil 100 according to the present application may include a pot body 60 and a lid body 10. The pot body 60 includes a pot inner 64. Generally, the pot body 60 may have a cylindrical (or other shaped) accommodating cavity, and the pot inner 64 may be freely placed in or taken out of the accommodating cavity to facilitate cleaning of the pot inner 64. The pot inner 64 is made of, for example, a metal material and is constructed as a rotating body with an opening and an inner cavity formed by a pot wall. The capacity of the pot inner 64 is generally less than 6L, for example, the capacity of the pot inner 64 may be 2L or 4L, etc. The pot inner 64 has a pot inner opening 63 for taking in and putting in food ingredients, and the internal space of the pot inner 64 forms a cooking cavity 61, which is used to hold and cook food ingredients. The volume of the pot inner 64 is the volume of the cooking cavity 61, and the pot inner opening 63 is the opening of the cooking cavity 61, also referred to as the cooking cavity opening 63.
[0199] The cover 10 can be pivotally connected to the pot body 60 via a pivot shaft to cover the pot body 60. Figure 2 As shown, when the lid 10 covers the pot body 60, a cooking space is defined between the lid 10 and the inner pot 64. In different embodiments of the present application, the relative positions of the lid 10 and the pot body 60 may vary when the lid 10 covers the pot body 60, so the cooking cavity 61 and the cooking space may not be identical. For example, when the bottom portion of the lid 10 extends into the inner pot 64, the cooking space is a portion of the cooking cavity 61, and the volume of the cooking space is smaller than the volume of the cooking cavity 61.
[0200] The cooking appliance 100 includes a heating device (not shown). The heating device is typically located at the bottom of the pot body 60, below the inner pot 64. The heating device is used to heat the inner pot 64 and the food therein, thereby achieving cooking. The heating device can be configured in the form of a heating plate, for example.
[0201] The cooking appliance 100 has a top temperature sensor 16, which is usually arranged on the cover 10 for detecting the top temperature of the cooking space. A bottom temperature sensor is also arranged in the pot body 60 for detecting the bottom temperature of the cooking space.
[0202] In addition, the cooking appliance 100 further includes a control device (not shown) for controlling the cooking of the cooking appliance 100. The control device may be, for example, a microprocessor unit (MCU), which is electrically connected to the heating device and the temperature sensor so that the heating device can control its operation according to the detection value of the temperature sensor.
[0203] The cooking appliance 100 generally further includes a human-machine interaction device 70 , which can be provided on the pot body 60 or the lid body 10 and connected to the control device. The human-machine interaction device 70 can facilitate user operation and prompt the user with information related to the cooking process.
[0204] It should be noted that, in the present application, the directional terms "upper" and "lower" are those directions determined based on the cooking appliance 100 being placed upright with the lid 10 in a closed state.
[0205] It should be noted that although part of the structure of the cooking appliance 100 is schematically described at this point, these examples are merely exemplary and cannot be used as a limitation on the structure of the cooking appliance 100 of the embodiment of the present application.
[0206] like Figure 2 As shown, an anti-overflow cavity 15 is provided inside the cover body 10. The anti-overflow cavity 15 is configured to communicate with the outside through a steam exhaust component 30 (for example, a steam valve). When the cover body 10 covers the pot body 60, the bottom wall 20 of the anti-overflow cavity 15 is used to cover the cooking cavity opening 63. In other words, the bottom wall 20 of the anti-overflow cavity 15 forms the lower surface of the cover body 10. The bottom wall 20 of the anti-overflow cavity 15 is provided with at least one bottom wall through hole 25 for connecting the anti-overflow cavity 15 with the cooking cavity 61. The anti-overflow cavity 15 is used to absorb energy overflowing from the cooking cavity 61 and store bubbles (foam) overflowing from the cooking cavity 61, thereby playing a role in preventing overflow.
[0207] In order to improve the anti-overflow effect, the volume of the anti-overflow cavity 15 and the volume of the cooking cavity 61 must meet a certain relationship. Specifically, the ratio between the volume of the anti-overflow cavity 15 and the volume of the cooking cavity 61 is a first ratio, and the value range of the first ratio is [1 / 40, 4 / 5], for example, 1 / 15. If the first ratio is too large, the volume of the anti-overflow cavity 15 is larger than the volume of the cooking cavity 61, which will not only increase the material cost of the anti-overflow cavity 15, but also indirectly lead to a reduction in cooking space and low space utilization. If the first ratio is too small, the volume of the anti-overflow cavity 15 is smaller than the volume of the cooking cavity 61, which will weaken the ability of the anti-overflow cavity 15 to store bubbles (foam), resulting in poor anti-overflow effect.
[0208] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in the first embodiment of the present application, the cover body 10 includes a top cover 13, a lining cover 11 and a removable cover 40. The lining cover 11 constitutes the skeleton of the cover body 10, and various components in the cover body 10 (such as the top temperature sensor 16 and the exhaust component 30) are installed on the lining cover 11. The lining cover 11 is, for example, pivotally connected to the pot body 60 so that the cover body 10 can cover the pot body 60. The top cover 13 forms the outer shell of the cover body 10 and is installed on the lining cover 11. The removable cover 40 is detachably connected to the lining cover 11 and is located at the bottom of the cover body 10. The removable cover 40 is used to cover the cooking cavity opening 63.
[0209] In the first embodiment, the removable cover 40 includes a cover plate 41, which is detachably connected to the liner cover 11 and covers the cooking cavity opening 63. The cover plate 41 is provided with a sensor through-hole 26 for allowing the top temperature sensor 16 to pass through the sensor through-hole 26. The top temperature sensor 16 can pass through the sensor through-hole 26 to detect the temperature of the cooking space.
[0210] The lining cover 11 forms the top wall of the overflow prevention cavity 15. A partition 12 may also be provided on the lower surface of the lining cover 11. The partition 12 forms the top wall of the overflow prevention cavity 15. The partition 12 is, for example, a metal plate, such as an aluminum plate. The cover plate 41 includes a cover plate bottom wall 41H and a cover plate side wall 41A. The cover plate bottom wall 41H forms the bottom wall 20 of the overflow prevention cavity 15. The cover plate bottom wall 41H is provided with at least one bottom wall through-hole 25, thereby connecting the overflow prevention cavity 15 with the cooking cavity 61. The cover plate side wall 41A extends upward from the outer peripheral edge of the cover plate bottom wall 20 to form the side wall of the overflow prevention cavity 15.
[0211] The removable cover 40 further includes a first sealing ring 42 connected to the upper end of the cover plate side wall 41A. The first sealing ring 42 is made of, for example, an elastic material and is configured to seal against the lower surface of the liner cover 11, thereby forming an anti-overflow cavity 15 between the liner cover 11 and the cover plate 41. It can also be understood that the cover plate side wall 41A and the first sealing ring 42 together constitute the sidewall of the anti-overflow cavity 15.
[0212] like Figures 2 to 8 As shown, the removable cover 40 also includes a pot mouth sealing ring 43, which is arranged on the outer periphery of the cover plate 41. The pot mouth sealing ring 43 is made of elastic material, for example, and is used to seal and contact the cooking cavity opening 63, thereby forming a cooking space between the cover body 10 and the cooking cavity 61.
[0213] like Figures 4 to 7 As shown, in order to connect the cover plate 41, the first sealing ring 42, and the pot mouth sealing ring 43, the removable cover 40 further includes a removable cover seat 47 and a pressure ring 44. The removable cover seat 47 is configured to be removably mounted to the lining cover 11. The cover plate 41, the first sealing ring 42, and the pot mouth sealing ring 43 are all removably connected to the removable cover seat 47, thereby being removably connected to the lining cover 11. The pressure ring 44 is removably connected to the removable cover seat 47, and is used to mount the cover plate 41, the first sealing ring 42, and the pot mouth sealing ring 43 to the removable cover seat 47.
[0214] like Figure 4 As shown, the removable cover seat 47 includes an annular seat body 47A. At least part of the cover side wall 41A and at least part of the pot mouth sealing ring 43 are surrounded by the inner peripheral surface of the seat body 47A. Specifically, as shown in FIG. Figure 8 As shown, the cover side wall 41A includes an upper side wall end portion 41F and a lower side wall end portion 41G, wherein the upper side wall end portion 41F is located above the lower side wall end portion 41G. The upper side wall end portion 41F is surrounded by the inner circumferential surface of the seat body 47A. The pot mouth sealing ring 43 includes a pot mouth sealing portion 43A and an extension portion 43B. The pot mouth sealing portion 43A is used to seal the cooking cavity opening 63. The extension portion 43B extends upward from the upper end of the pot mouth sealing portion 43A, is constructed in an annular shape and is surrounded by the inner circumferential surface of the seat body 47A. The extension portion 43B is located outside the upper side wall end portion 41F in the radial direction DR, that is, the extension portion 43B is located between the seat body 47A and the upper side wall end portion 41F in the radial direction DR.
[0215] The cover plate 41 also includes a cover plate mounting portion 41B extending outward in the radial direction DR from the upper edge of the side wall upper end portion 41F. The lower surface of the cover plate mounting portion 41B is connected to the upper surface of the seat body 47A. The pot mouth sealing ring 43 also includes a first stopper 43C extending outward in the radial direction DR from the upper end of the extension portion 43B. The lower surface of the first stopper 43C is connected to the upper surface of the seat body 47A. Because the extension portion 43B is located outward of the side wall upper end portion 41F in the radial direction DR, the first stopper 43C is located below the cover plate mounting portion 41B and between the seat body 47A in the vertical direction (i.e., the axial direction DA). The upper surface of the pot mouth sealing portion 43A can abut the lower surface of the seat body 47A, further limiting the pot mouth sealing ring 43 relative to the removable cover seat 47 in the axial direction DA.
[0216] like Figure 8 As shown, the first sealing ring 42 is located above the seat body 47A. The first sealing ring 42 is located above the cover plate 41. The first sealing ring 42 includes a first sealing portion 42A and a first mounting portion 42B. The first sealing portion 42A is used to seal against the liner 11, and the first mounting portion 42B extends outward from the lower end of the first sealing portion 42A in the radial direction DR. The lower surface of the first mounting portion 42B abuts the upper surface of the cover plate mounting portion 41B. The pressure ring 44 contacts the seat body 47A from above (that is, the pressure ring 44 contacts the pot mouth sealing ring 43 from above, the pressure ring 44 contacts the cover plate 41 from above, and the pressure ring 44 contacts the first sealing ring 42 from above). The first sealing ring 42, the cover plate 41, and the pot mouth sealing ring 43 are sandwiched between the pressure ring 44 and the seat body 47A of the removable cover seat 47, thereby allowing the pot mouth sealing ring 43, the first sealing ring 42, and the cover plate 41 to be detachably connected to the removable cover seat 47.
[0217] For example, a fastener hole 47D is provided on the upper surface of the seat body 47A, which can be detachably connected to a fastener. A pressure ring mounting hole 44C, a first mounting hole 42C, and a cover mounting hole 41D are provided on the pressure ring 44, the first mounting portion 42B, and the cover mounting portion 41B at positions corresponding to the fastener hole 47D, respectively. Thus, the fastener can be detachably connected to the fastener hole 47D after passing through the pressure ring 44, the first mounting portion 42B, and the cover mounting portion 41B in sequence.
[0218] Furthermore, the fastener can be configured as a screw, for example, with threads matching the screw inside the fastener hole 47D. Multiple fastener holes 47D can be evenly spaced along the circumferential direction DC of the seat body 47A, thereby better connecting the pressure ring 44 and the removable cover seat 47 via multiple corresponding fasteners. The lower surface of the pressure ring 44 can be configured with a downwardly protruding protrusion 44B, and the pressure ring mounting hole 44C extends from the upper surface of the pressure ring 44 through the protrusion 44B. The inner diameters of the first mounting hole 42C and the mounting hole 41D of the cover plate 41 are not less than the outer diameter of the protrusion 44B, allowing the protrusion 44B to pass through. Above the fastener hole 47D, the seat body 47A has a mounting groove 47E for accommodating the protrusion 44B. The protrusion 44B can pass through the first mounting hole 42C and the cover plate mounting hole 41D into the mounting groove 47E, and the fastener directly passes through the protrusion 44B, thereby removably connecting with the fastener hole 47D. When assembling the removable cover 40 , the raised portion 44B plays a role of pre-positioning, which can pre-connect the first sealing ring 42 , the cover plate 41 and the removable cover seat 47 before fastening, thereby facilitating the installation of fasteners.
[0219] The pot mouth sealing ring 43 also includes a second stopper 43D, which protrudes from the lower surface of the first stopper 43C. A stopper groove 47C is provided on the upper surface of the seat body 47A, which abuts the first stopper 43C. This groove 47C is configured as a groove that mates with the second stopper 43D and accommodates the second stopper 43D. The second stopper 43D abuts the stopper groove 47C, thereby securing the pot mouth sealing ring 43 relative to the removable lid seat 47 in the radial direction DR.
[0220] like Figure 8 As shown, pot mouth sealing ring 43 further includes a first support portion 43E, which protrudes from the upper surface of first stop portion 43C and is configured to abut the lower surface of cover plate mounting portion 41B. First support portion 43E, made of a small amount of material, achieves sealed contact between pot mouth sealing ring 43 and cover plate 41, preventing foam, gas, and the like generated within cooking cavity 61 from contaminating removable cover seat 47 or, for example, corroding fasteners, thereby extending the service life of removable cover 40.
[0221] The pot mouth sealing ring 43 may further be provided with a second supporting portion 43F, which is constructed as a protruding rib extending inward in the radial direction DR on the inner circumferential surface of the pot mouth sealing ring 43. The cover plate sidewall 41A also includes a radially extending step portion 41C. The radial dimension of the cover plate sidewall 41A located above the step portion 41C is greater than the radial dimension of the cover plate sidewall 41A located below the step portion 41C. The upper surface of the second supporting portion 43F abuts the lower surface of the step portion 41C, thereby supporting the cover plate 41 and further stabilizing the connection between the various components of the removable cover 40.
[0222] like Figures 4 to 6 As shown, the bottom wall 41H of the cover plate, i.e., the bottom wall 20 of the overflow prevention chamber 15, is provided with a plurality of bottom wall through holes 25. The shape of the bottom wall through holes 25 can be circular, elliptical, or polygonal. The bottom wall through holes 25 include at least one first bottom wall through hole 25A and at least one second bottom wall through hole 25B. The size of the first bottom wall through hole 25A is smaller than the size of the second bottom wall through hole 25B. The bottom wall through holes 25 can include a plurality of first bottom wall through holes 25A. The bottom wall through holes 25 can include a plurality of second bottom wall through holes 25B.
[0223] When the food in the cooking chamber 61 boils, the resulting foam and water vapor enter the overflow prevention chamber 15 through the bottom wall through-holes 25. Because foam has a certain viscosity and a large volume, the resistance to its passage through the first bottom wall through-holes 25A is greater than the resistance to its passage through the second bottom wall through-holes 25B. Consequently, the foam tends to enter the overflow prevention chamber 15 through the second bottom wall through-holes 25B. Water vapor, however, is not significantly obstructed by the first bottom wall through-holes 25A and can enter the overflow prevention chamber 15 through the first bottom wall through-holes 25A. Thus, the different sizes of the bottom wall through-holes 25 achieve vapor-liquid separation, meaning that foam and water vapor tend to enter the overflow prevention chamber 15 through different channels. Within the overflow prevention chamber 15, the water vapor's own temperature and pressure can break through the foam, reducing foam accumulation in the overflow prevention chamber 15 and further enhancing the overflow prevention effect. After the foam bursts, the liquid can return to the cooking chamber 41 through the bottom wall through-holes 25.
[0224] The multiple first bottom wall through holes 25A are centrally arranged, which is beneficial to ensuring the temperature and pressure of the water vapor in the overflow prevention cavity 15. The second bottom wall through holes 25B are far away from the first bottom wall through holes 25A, which is beneficial to the centralized arrangement of the multiple first bottom wall through holes 25A. Figure 9 As shown, the bottom wall 41H of the cover plate includes two different areas, the second bottom wall portion 22 and the fourth bottom wall portion 24. The first bottom wall through hole 25A is arranged in the second bottom wall portion 22, and the second bottom wall through hole 25B is arranged in the fourth bottom wall portion 24, thereby realizing the centralized arrangement of multiple first bottom wall through holes 25A.
[0225] like Figures 10 to 14 As shown, preferably, the second bottom wall portion 22 can be higher than the fourth bottom wall portion 24, so that the first bottom wall through hole 25A is higher than the second bottom wall through hole 25B. In this way, the boiling foam will not block the first bottom wall through hole 25A, so that the resistance of steam passing through the first bottom wall through hole 25A is smaller, thereby better achieving gas-liquid separation. Specifically, the height difference between the lowest point of the first bottom wall through hole 25A and the highest point of the second bottom wall through hole 25B can be greater than or equal to 3mm. The second bottom wall through hole 25B can be set at the lowest position of the bottom wall 41H of the cover plate. For example, as Figure 10As shown, the cover plate bottom wall 41H can be constructed as a tapered structure that is wider at the bottom and narrower at the top. The second bottom wall portion 22 and the fourth bottom wall portion 24 are arranged in the radial direction, and the fourth bottom wall portion 24 is located on the outer periphery of the second bottom wall portion 22 .
[0226] Combine Figure 2 、 Figure 3 and Figure 10 It can be seen that, preferably, the first bottom wall through hole 25A is closer to the exhaust component 30 than the second bottom wall through hole 25B, or in other words, the second bottom wall portion 22 is closer to the exhaust component 30 than the fourth bottom wall portion 24. The exhaust component 30 is a channel that connects the overflow prevention cavity 15 with the outside world, and the contents in the overflow prevention cavity 15 will all move toward the exhaust component 30. When the first bottom wall through hole 25A is closer to the exhaust component 30, water vapor will preferentially occupy the surrounding space of the exhaust component 30, so that the foam must encounter water vapor to achieve the bubble breaking effect. Otherwise, the foam may not be broken by the water vapor and will be discharged from the exhaust component 30, causing overflow.
[0227] exist Figures 2 to 10 In the embodiment described above, the exhaust component 30 is not located on the central axis of the cooking cavity 61. In the projection of the cover 10 in the vertical direction, the geometric center point M of the second bottom wall portion 22 does not coincide with the geometric center point N of the bottom wall 41H of the cover plate (see FIG. Figure 9 ), the cover plate bottom wall 41H is configured as an oblique cone to facilitate the position of the bottom wall second portion 22 closer to the exhaust component 30. Of course, to position the first bottom wall through hole 25A closer to the exhaust component 30, the bottom wall second portion 22 and the bottom wall fourth portion 24 can also be arranged in the left-right direction in the figure, with the bottom wall second portion 22 on the right and the bottom wall fourth portion 24 on the left.
[0228] Of course, the geometric center point M of the second bottom wall portion 22 may also coincide with the geometric center point N of the cover plate bottom wall 41H, so that the cover plate bottom wall 41H is constructed as a right cone, thereby reducing the difficulty of processing the cover plate 41 .
[0229] The foam in the overflow prevention cavity 15 cools down as it moves, which facilitates bubble breaking. To ensure that bubbles entering through the second bottom wall through-hole 25B have sufficient travel distance, the distance between the edge of the first bottom wall through-hole 25A and the edge of the second bottom wall through-hole 25B is no less than 10 mm. In other words, the minimum distance between a point on the edge of the first bottom wall through-hole 25A and a point on the edge of the second bottom wall through-hole 25B is no less than 10 mm.
[0230] When the cover plate bottom wall 41H is constructed as a tapered structure, wider at the bottom and narrower at the top (convex at the top), the pressure at the bottom wall fourth portion 24 is greater than the pressure at the bottom wall second portion 22 according to Bernoulli's principle, further promoting the discharge of gas (water vapor) from the first bottom wall through hole 25A along the tapered side. The line connecting the first bottom wall through hole 25A and the second bottom wall through hole 25B forms a first angle with the horizontal plane. To facilitate the backflow of liquid from the second bottom wall through hole 25B, the first angle is greater than or equal to 5°.
[0231] In order to make the first bottom wall through hole 25A better block the foam in the cooking cavity 61 and at the same time increase the steam airflow velocity at the first bottom wall through hole 25A (to facilitate breaking the bubbles in the overflow prevention cavity 15), the area of each first bottom wall through hole 25A is in the range of [1.77mm2, 20mm2], for example, it can be 1.77mm2, 3mm2 or 20mm2. In order to make the second bottom wall through hole 25B more suitable for the passage of foam, the area of each second bottom wall through hole 25B is in the range of [20mm2, 300mm2], for example, it can be 20mm 2 , 150mm 2 or 300mm 2 .
[0232] In order to adapt to the receptive capacity of the anti-overflow cavity 15, the number or total area of the first bottom wall through holes 25A and the second bottom wall through holes 25B has a preferred range. Moreover, the number or total area of the two is adapted to balance the amount of gas and foam received by the anti-overflow cavity 15, thereby achieving a better anti-overflow effect. Specifically, the total area of the first bottom wall through holes 25A ranges from [60mm2, 200mm2], for example, it can be 60mm2, 100mm2 or 200mm2. The total area of the second bottom wall through holes 25B ranges from [100mm2, 1000mm2], for example, it can be 100mm2, 300mm2 or 1000mm2. The ratio of the total area of the second bottom wall through holes 25B to the total area of the first bottom wall through holes 25A is a second ratio, and the second ratio ranges from [2, 5], for example, it can be 2, 3 or 5. The number of the first bottom wall through holes 25A is 10 to 64, for example, 10, 40, or 64. The number of the second bottom wall through holes 25B is 5 to 30, for example, 5, 10, or 30.
[0233] like Figures 9 to 14 As shown, the fourth bottom wall portion 24 can be constructed as an annular area with the geometric center point N of the cover bottom wall 41H as the center. For example, the fourth bottom wall portion 24 can be constructed as an annular area extending along a plane at the lowest position of the cover bottom wall 41H. The outer periphery of the fourth bottom wall portion 24 is the outer periphery of the cover bottom wall 41H, so that the second bottom wall through hole 25B can be set at the lowest position of the cover bottom wall 41H. Figures 4 to 6 and Figure 9 As shown, the plurality of second bottom wall through holes 25B may be evenly arranged along the circumferential direction DC on the cover plate bottom wall 41H.
[0234] like Figure 10 As shown, in a cross section of the cover body 10 passing through the geometric center point M of the second bottom wall portion 22 and extending in the vertical direction, the second bottom wall portion 22 extends along an inclined straight line, and the inclined straight line intersects the inner edge of the fourth bottom wall portion 24. The first bottom wall through hole 25A can be located near the top of the tapered structure, thereby ensuring a maximum height difference and a maximum distance between the first bottom wall through hole 25A and the second bottom wall through hole 25B.
[0235] like Figures 10 to 14 As shown, the cover plate bottom wall 41H also includes a bottom wall third portion 23 located between the bottom wall second portion 22 and the bottom wall fourth portion 24. For example, the bottom wall third portion 23 is configured as an annular region located between the first bottom wall through-hole 25A and the second bottom wall through-hole 25B along the radial direction DR. The bottom wall second portion 22 and the bottom wall fourth portion 24 are respectively located on either side of the bottom wall third portion 23. In a cross section of the cover body 10 passing through the geometric center point M of the bottom wall second portion 22 and extending in the up-down direction, the bottom wall third portion 23 can include two sub-bottom wall third portions 23A located on either side of the geometric center point M of the bottom wall second portion 22. Any sub-bottom wall third portion 23A has an arbitrary first position point P and a second position point Q, wherein when the first position point P is closer to the bottom wall second portion 22 than the second position point Q, the first position point P is not lower than the second position point Q. Thus, the third bottom wall portion 23 is gradually lifted from the outside to the inside, which can facilitate the liquid to flow back to the position of the second bottom wall through hole 25B through the third bottom wall portion 23. Figures 11 to 14 As shown, when the geometric center point of the second bottom wall portion 22 coincides with the geometric center point of the cover bottom wall 20, the two sub-bottom wall third portions 23A can be symmetrical about the central axis of the cover bottom wall 41H, for example, the cover bottom wall 41H has a radially symmetrical structure.
[0236] During use, because the cover bottom wall 20 has a tapered structure that is wider at the bottom and narrower at the top, a significant pressure differential can be generated between the first bottom wall through-hole 25A, located above, and the second bottom wall through-hole 25B, located below. When bubbles (foam) initially form within the cooking cavity 61, the bubbles are some distance from both the first and second bottom wall through-holes 25A, 25B, so the first and second bottom wall through-holes 25A, 25B primarily serve to expel steam. However, as the number of bubbles within the cooking cavity 61 increases, the pressure and height differences between the first and second bottom wall through-holes 25A, 25B, as well as the relationship between their individual and combined areas, encourage gas to escape from the first bottom wall through-hole 25A along the tapered slope. Simultaneously, the bubbles preferentially enter the overflow prevention cavity 15 through the second bottom wall through-hole 25B, thereby achieving gas-liquid separation.
[0237] Furthermore, when the bubbles continue to increase and accumulate in the overflow prevention cavity 15, the bubbles will climb along the inclined surface of the third part 23 of the bottom wall to the position of the first bottom wall through hole 25A. Since the aperture of the first bottom wall through hole 25A is small and the gas is continuously discharged, the gas discharged from the first bottom wall through hole 25A at this time has a higher speed, which can break the bubbles accumulated near the first bottom wall through hole 25A. The broken bubbles turn into liquid and flow down the inclined surface, and flow back to the cooking cavity 61 from the second bottom wall through hole 25B, realizing internal steam bubble breaking and reflux.
[0238] In the axial cross section of the cover body 10 passing through the geometric center point M of the second bottom wall portion 22 and extending in the up-down direction, as shown in FIG. Figure 10 As shown, the third portion 23A of the sub-bottom wall can be a straight line. Alternatively, as shown Figure 11 and Figure 12 As shown, the third portion 23A of the sub-bottom wall can be a curve. Alternatively, as shown Figure 13 As shown, the third portion 23A of the sub-bottom wall can be a broken line consisting of straight lines. Alternatively, as shown Figure 14 As shown, the third portion 23A of the sub-bottom wall can be formed by a combination of straight lines and curves. It can be understood that in the axial section of the cover body 10 passing through the geometric center point M of the second bottom wall portion 22 and extending in the up-down direction, the shape of the third portion 23A of the sub-bottom wall is not limited to the above example.
[0239] like Figure 15 and 16 As shown, the third bottom wall portion 23 may be provided with at least one guide groove 45. The guide groove 45 is, for example, configured as a strip groove extending along the radial direction DR on the upper surface of the third bottom wall portion 23. Figure 15 As shown, when the geometric center point M of the second bottom wall portion 22 coincides with the geometric center point N of the bottom wall 41H of the cover plate, a plurality of guide grooves 45 can be arranged at equal intervals along the circumferential direction DC, or, as shown in FIG. Figure 16As shown, when the geometric center point M of the second bottom wall portion 22 does not coincide with the geometric center point N of the cover plate bottom wall 20, a plurality of guide grooves 45 of different lengths can be provided around the geometric center point M of the second bottom wall portion 22. The guide grooves 45 can extend from a position close to the first bottom wall through hole 25A to a position close to the second bottom wall through hole 25B, thereby facilitating the backflow of liquid to the second bottom wall through hole 25B.
[0240] The third bottom wall portion 23 is further provided with a sensor through-hole 26 for passing the top temperature sensor 16, thereby enabling the top temperature sensor 16 to detect the temperature inside the cooking cavity 61. Of course, the sensor through-hole 26 can also be used to pass other sensors of the lid 10, such as a pressure sensor, a humidity sensor, etc. The third bottom wall portion 23 can be provided with multiple sensor through-holes 26, each for passing a different sensor.
[0241] like Figures 9 to 16 As shown, the second bottom wall portion 22 is configured as an annular area. The bottom wall 20 also includes a first bottom wall portion 21, which is arranged on the inner side of the second bottom wall portion 22 along the radial direction DR. The edge of the first bottom wall portion 21 can be defined by the edge of the first bottom wall through hole 25A. The first bottom wall portion 21 and the third bottom wall portion 23 are respectively located on both sides of the second bottom wall portion 22. The first bottom wall portion 21 and the fourth bottom wall portion 24 are respectively located on both sides of the second bottom wall portion 22. The first bottom wall portion 21 and the fourth bottom wall portion 24 are respectively located on both sides of the third bottom wall portion 23. The first bottom wall portion 21 can be configured as a non-porous area. The exhaust component 30 is arranged above the first bottom wall portion 21. The exhaust component 30 is thereby connected to the top of the anti-overflow cavity 15. The first bottom wall portion 21 includes a platform area 21A configured as a flat plate (see Figure 10 ), the exhaust component 30 can be located directly above the platform area 21A, so that the second bottom wall portion 22 is closer to the exhaust component 30 than the fourth bottom wall portion 24. The first bottom wall through hole 25A can be located near the edge of the platform area 21A, so that steam can pass through the first bottom wall through hole 25A and then be discharged to the outside through the exhaust component 30.
[0242] Specifically, the minimum distance between a point on the edge of the first bottom wall through hole 25A and a point on the edge of the platform area 21A is used as the distance between the edge of the first bottom wall through hole 25A and the edge of the platform area 21A. The range of the distance between the edge of the first bottom wall through hole 25A and the edge of the platform area 21A is [1mm, 10mm]. For example, it can be 1mm, 3mm or 10mm. If the first bottom wall through hole 25A is too close to the platform area 21A, the foam breaking position will be too close to the exhaust component 30, causing the foam to overflow from the exhaust component 30. If the first bottom wall through hole 25A is too far from the platform area 21A, the foam will move too little distance in the anti-overflow cavity 15, affecting the anti-overflow effect.
[0243] like Figure 17 and Figure 18 As shown, the exhaust component 30 includes an exhaust chamber 30A extending in the up-down direction, and the exhaust chamber 30A is configured to communicate with the outside. Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the exhaust component 30 is detachably mounted on the lining cover 11. The lining cover 11 includes a lining cover exhaust chamber 18. The cover body 10 also includes a face cover sealing ring 14, which is arranged at the end of the side wall of the lining cover exhaust chamber 18 and is used to seal the side wall of the lining cover exhaust chamber 18 and the face cover 13. A horizontal annular support rib 19 is provided in the lining cover exhaust chamber 18. The side wall 31 of the exhaust chamber 30A is constructed with an annular outer flange 39. One of the support rib 19 and the outer flange 39 has a certain degree of elasticity, so that the outer flange 39 can squeeze through the hole of the support rib 19 and overlap above the support rib 19. A exhaust hole is opened in the face cover 13 at a position corresponding to the lining cover exhaust chamber 18, so that the lining cover exhaust chamber 18 is connected to the outside world. The side wall 31 of the exhaust chamber 30A is provided with a plurality of exhaust holes 33. The plurality of exhaust holes 33 can be staggered along the axial direction (vertical direction) and circumferential direction of the exhaust chamber 30A. For example, the exhaust holes 33 include a first exhaust hole 33A located below the outer flange 39 and a second exhaust hole 33B located above the outer flange 39. Because the support ribs 19 divide the liner exhaust chamber 18 into two, the overflow prevention chamber 15 cannot directly communicate with the second exhaust hole 33B. Therefore, the overflow prevention chamber 15 is configured to communicate with the exhaust chamber 30A through the first exhaust hole 33A, and then communicate with the outside world through the second exhaust hole 33B and the liner exhaust chamber 18.
[0244] The steam exhaust chamber 30A is arranged above the first portion 21 of the bottom wall, so that the second portion 22 of the bottom wall is closer to the steam exhaust hole 33 than the fourth portion 24 of the bottom wall, and the first bottom wall hole 25A is closer to the steam exhaust hole 33 than the second bottom wall hole 25B. In the projection of the cover body 10 along the up and down direction, at least part of the first bottom wall hole 25A is located between the second bottom wall hole 25B and the steam exhaust hole 33. In the projection of the cover body 10 along the up and down direction, all of the first bottom wall hole 25A is located between the second bottom wall hole 25B and the steam exhaust hole 33. When the foam is effectively broken, only steam can enter the steam exhaust chamber 30A through the steam exhaust hole 33 and then be discharged to the external environment. In this application, foam should be avoided or prevented from entering the steam exhaust chamber 30A as much as possible.
[0245] The exhaust chamber 30A is arranged above the first portion 21 of the bottom wall, and at least one of the bottom wall 32 of the exhaust chamber 30A and the first portion 21 of the bottom wall is not provided with an opening to prevent bubbles from directly entering the exhaust chamber 30A upward from the overflow prevention cavity 15 and causing overflow. In the projection of the cover body 10 along the up-down direction, the first portion 21 of the bottom wall includes the bottom wall 32 of the entire exhaust chamber 30A. In the projection of the cover body 10 along the up-down direction, the platform area 21A of the first portion 21 of the bottom wall includes the bottom wall 32 of the entire exhaust chamber 30A. The ratio of the width of the platform area 21A to the width of the bottom wall 20 of the overflow prevention cavity 15 (i.e., the bottom wall 41H of the cover plate) is a third ratio, and the value range of the third ratio is [1 / 20, 1 / 5]. If the third ratio is too small, the bubble breaking position will be too close to the exhaust component 30, causing the foam to overflow from the exhaust component 30. If the third ratio is too large, the foam will move too short a distance in the anti-overflow cavity 15 , thus affecting the anti-overflow effect.
[0246] like Figure 19 and Figure 20 As shown, when the bottom wall 32 of the exhaust chamber 30A is provided with a reflux hole 34, the first bottom wall portion 21 is not provided with a through hole. The reflux hole 34 is used to allow the liquid in the exhaust chamber 30A (for example, distilled water formed by steam condensation) to flow back into the anti-overflow cavity 15. The outer diameter of the bottom wall 32 of the exhaust chamber 30A is not greater than the width of the outer edge of the first bottom wall portion 21. The outer diameter of the bottom wall 32 of the exhaust chamber 30A is not greater than the width of the outer edge of the platform area 21A. If the outer diameter of the bottom wall 32 of the exhaust chamber 30A is too large, it will cause bubbles at the first bottom wall through hole 25A to overflow from the reflux hole 34 into the exhaust chamber 30A. In addition, the height difference between the lower surface of the bottom wall 32 of the exhaust chamber 30A and the platform area 21A is no more than 3 mm, which prevents the bubbles at the first bottom wall through hole 25A from squeezing into the gap between the bottom wall 32 of the exhaust chamber 30A and the platform area 21A, and directly overflowing from the reflux hole 34 at the bottom of the overflow prevention valve into the exhaust chamber 30A.
[0247] The height difference between the lower edge of the exhaust hole 33, specifically, the lower edge of the first exhaust hole 33A, and the bottom of the exhaust component 30, that is, the lower surface of the bottom wall 32 of the exhaust chamber 30A, is at least 5 mm, thereby preventing bubbles that have not yet broken from accumulating at the first bottom wall hole 25A and overflowing from the first exhaust hole 33A.
[0248] Of course, the bottom wall 32 of the exhaust chamber 30A may not have an opening. In this case, the first bottom wall portion 21 may be provided with a bottom wall through hole 25, such as a first bottom wall through hole 25A, so that the first bottom wall portion 21 merges into the second bottom wall portion 22. Therefore, in the present application, at least one of the bottom wall 32 and the first bottom wall portion 21 of the exhaust chamber 30A is provided with no opening. Alternatively, the opening of the bottom wall 32 of the exhaust chamber 30A and the bottom wall through hole are staggered along the radial direction DR of the cover body 10.
[0249] To ensure that steam can be discharged from the cover 10 smoothly through the exhaust component 30, the total area of the exhaust holes 33, that is, the total area of the first exhaust holes 33A and the second exhaust holes 33B, is not less than the total area of the first bottom wall holes 25A.
[0250] Or, as Figures 21 to 23 As shown, the steam exhaust hole 33 may only include the first steam exhaust hole 33A. The first steam exhaust hole 33A is provided on the side wall 31 of the steam exhaust chamber 30A to facilitate steam from the overflow prevention cavity 15 into the steam exhaust chamber 30A. The height difference between the lower edge of the first steam exhaust hole 33A and the bottom of the steam exhaust component 30, that is, the lower surface of the bottom wall 32 of the steam exhaust chamber 30A, is at least 5 mm, thereby preventing bubbles that have not yet broken at the first bottom wall through hole 25A from overflowing from the first steam exhaust hole 33A. To ensure that steam can smoothly pass through the steam exhaust component 30 and discharge from the cover body 10, the total area of the first steam exhaust hole 33A is not less than the total area of the first bottom wall through hole 25A.
[0251] Exhaust holes 33 are provided on the sidewall 31 of the exhaust chamber 30A, providing a barrier to bubbles and preventing them from escaping. Gas can then be discharged through the exhaust holes 33. If excessive bubbles are present, first and second exhaust holes 33A, 33B can be staggered along the circumferential direction DC and vertical direction of the exhaust chamber 30A. This alternating exhaust path can further break up some of the bubbles. Finally, condensed water within the exhaust chamber 30A can be discharged through the reflux holes 34 provided on the bottom wall 32 of the exhaust chamber 30A.
[0252] Or, as Figure 24 As shown, in the second embodiment, the exhaust component 130 of the cover body 110 can be constructed as an integral part with the liner cover 11, which simplifies the design and reduces the cost. For parts not introduced in the second embodiment, please refer to the description of the first embodiment.
[0253] In such Figure 25 and Figure 26In the third embodiment shown, the removable lid 240 of the lid body 210 of the cooking utensil 200 differs from the removable lid 40 of the first embodiment. Specifically, the bottom wall 241H of the lid, i.e., the bottom wall 220 of the overflow prevention chamber 15, is constructed as a flat plate. In this case, the bottom wall 220 can also include a second bottom wall portion 22 provided with a first bottom wall through hole 25A and a fourth bottom wall portion 24 provided with a second bottom wall through hole 25B. The second bottom wall portion 22 is positioned closer to the exhaust component 30 than the fourth bottom wall portion 24. Compared to the first embodiment, the third embodiment makes the first bottom wall through hole 25A and the second bottom wall through hole 25B the same height, while other technical features (such as the area and number of the first bottom wall through hole 25A, the area and number of the second bottom wall through hole 25B, the distance between the first bottom wall through hole 25A and the second bottom wall through hole 25B, the connection between the exhaust component 30 and the overflow prevention chamber 15, and the partitioning of the bottom wall 220) remain unchanged. It can also be understood that the features of the first embodiment that are applicable to the third embodiment can also be applied to the third embodiment. For parts not introduced in the third embodiment, please refer to the description of the first embodiment.
[0254] exist Figures 27 to 34 In the fourth embodiment shown, the cover 310 of the cooking utensil is provided with an anti-overflow cavity 15 . Unlike the first three embodiments, the detachable cover 340 simultaneously provides the top wall, side walls and bottom wall 320 of the anti-overflow cavity 15 .
[0255] As shown in the figure, in the fourth embodiment of the present application, the removable cover 340 includes an upper cover plate 46 and a lower cover plate 341. The upper cover plate 46 is configured to be removably connected to the liner cover 11. The upper cover plate 46 forms the top wall of the anti-overflow cavity 15. The lower cover plate 341 is connected to the lower surface of the upper cover plate 46 and is configured to cover the cooking cavity opening 63. The lower cover plate 341 provides the side walls and bottom wall 320 of the anti-overflow cavity 15.
[0256] The upper cover plate 46 is provided with an upper cover plate steam exhaust hole 46C for exhausting steam. The steam exhaust component 30 is connected to the upper cover plate steam exhaust hole 46C. For example, at least a portion of the steam exhaust chamber 30A is disposed in the upper cover plate steam exhaust hole 46C, or the upper cover plate steam exhaust hole 46C is configured to communicate with the liner cover steam exhaust chamber 18. The removable cover 340 also includes a liner cover sealing ring 46A, which is attached to the inner circumferential surface of the upper cover plate steam exhaust hole 46C. The liner cover sealing ring 46A can be made of an elastic material, for example, and is configured to seal against the bottom opening of the liner cover steam exhaust chamber 18.
[0257] The lower cover 341 includes a bottom wall 341H and side walls 41A. The bottom wall 341H forms the bottom wall 320 of the overflow prevention cavity 15. The bottom wall 341H is provided with a bottom wall through-hole 25, thereby connecting the cooking cavity 61 and the overflow prevention cavity 15. The side walls 41A extend upward along the outer peripheral edge of the bottom wall 341H to contact the lower surface of the upper cover 46, thereby forming the side walls of the overflow prevention cavity 15.
[0258] The lower surface of the upper cover plate 46 is provided with a downwardly protruding upper cover plate connector 51. The upper cover plate 46 is provided with a connector seat 53, which, for example, extends through the upper cover plate 46. The upper end of the upper cover plate connector 51 is removably connected to the lower end of the connector seat 53. The cover plate bottom wall 341H is provided with a lower cover plate connector 52. The upper cover plate connector 51 is removably connected to the lower cover plate connector 52, thereby allowing the lower cover plate 341 to be removably connected to the upper cover plate 46. The overflow prevention cavity 15 is formed between the upper cover plate 46 and the lower cover plate 341 of the removable cover 340. The main structure of the cover body 310 is minimally modified, which helps reduce costs.
[0259] Specifically, if Figures 28 to 31 As shown, the upper cover plate connector 51 includes a first connecting portion 51A and a second connecting portion 51B. The first connecting portion 51A is provided on the lower surface of the upper cover plate 46. The second connecting portion 51B is provided at the lower end of the first connecting portion 51A, and the outer diameter of the second connecting portion 51B is larger than the outer diameter of the first connecting portion 51A. The lower cover plate connector 52 is constructed as a receiving groove on the cover plate bottom wall 341H, which uses elastic material as the groove wall, for accommodating the second connecting portion 51B. The inner diameter of the notch of the receiving groove is smaller than the outer diameter of the second connecting portion 51B, so that the second connecting portion 51B can be confined in the receiving groove. The second connecting portion 51B includes a portion of a cone with the tip pointing downward, which facilitates the insertion of the upper cover plate connector 51 into the receiving groove of the lower cover plate connector 52. The bottom wall 3341H of the cover is provided with a connecting hole 41E, and the outer peripheral surface of the groove wall of the accommodating groove of the lower cover connecting piece 52 is provided with a connecting groove 52A extending along the circumferential direction, which is used to accommodate the bottom wall 341H of the cover located around the opening of the connecting hole 41E, so that the accommodating groove can be detachably connected to the bottom wall 341H of the cover.
[0260] The upper cover plate 46 and the lower cover plate 341 are respectively provided with sensor through holes 26A and 26B at corresponding positions, so that a sensor such as the top temperature sensor 16 can detect parameters of the cooking space through the sensor through holes.
[0261] The removable lid 340 also includes a pot mouth sealing ring 43 and a removable lid seat 47. The pot mouth sealing ring 43 is disposed on the outer periphery of the lower cover plate 341. The pot mouth sealing ring 43 is made of, for example, an elastic material and is configured to seal against the cooking cavity opening 63. The removable lid seat 47 is configured to be removably attached to the lining cover 11. Both the upper cover plate 46 and the pot mouth sealing ring 43 are removably connected to the removable lid seat 47, thereby removably connecting the lining cover 11.
[0262] like Figure 32 As shown, the removable lid seat 47 includes an annular seat body 47A, with at least a portion of the lid sidewall 41A and at least a portion of the pot mouth sealing ring 43 being surrounded by the inner circumferential surface of the seat body 47A. The pot mouth sealing ring 43 includes a pot mouth sealing portion 43A and an extension portion 43B. The pot mouth sealing portion 43A is used to seal against the cooking cavity opening 63. The extension portion 43B extends upward from the upper end of the pot mouth sealing portion 43A, is constructed in an annular shape, and is surrounded by the inner circumferential surface of the seat body 47A. The extension portion 43B is located outside the lid sidewall 41A in the radial direction DR, that is, the extension portion 43B is located between the seat body 47A and the lid sidewall 41A in the radial direction DR.
[0263] The pot mouth sealing ring 43 also includes a first retaining portion 43C extending outwardly in the radial direction DR from the upper end of the extension portion 43B. The lower surface of the first retaining portion 43C is connected to the upper surface of the seat body 47A. The upper surface of the pot mouth sealing portion 43A can abut the lower surface of the seat body 47A, further retaining the pot mouth sealing ring 43 relative to the removable lid seat 47 in the axial direction DA.
[0264] The pot mouth sealing ring 43 also includes a second stopper 43D, which protrudes from the lower surface of the first stopper 43C. A stopper groove 47C is provided on the upper surface of the seat body 47A, which abuts the first stopper 43C. This groove 47C is configured as a groove that mates with the second stopper 43D and accommodates the second stopper 43D. The second stopper 43D abuts the stopper groove 47C, thereby securing the pot mouth sealing ring 43 relative to the removable lid seat 47 in the radial direction DR.
[0265] The lower surface of the outer peripheral region 46E of the upper cover 46 abuts the upper surface of the base body 47A. A clip 46B is provided on the outer edge of the outer peripheral region 46E of the upper cover 46, allowing the upper cover 46 to be removably connected to the removable cover base 47 via the clip 46B. For example, the clip 46B can engage with a retaining groove 47C. The first retaining portion 43C of the pot mouth sealing ring 43 is located vertically between the outer peripheral region 46E of the upper cover 46 and the base body 47A, thereby clamping the pot mouth sealing ring 43 between the upper cover 46 and the removable cover base 47.
[0266] The pot mouth sealing ring 43 also includes a first support portion 43E, which protrudes from the upper surface of the first limiting portion 43C and is configured to abut the lower surface of the outer peripheral region 46E of the upper cover 46. The upper surface of the first support portion 43E can be, for example, a circular arc surface. The first support portion 43E uses a small amount of material to ensure sealing contact between the pot mouth sealing ring 43 and the upper cover 46, thereby limiting the reach of foam, gas, etc. generated during cooking. For example, the foam, gas, etc. do not affect the removable cover 47, which helps to ensure the service life of the removable cover 47.
[0267] The removable cover 340 also includes a cover plate sealing ring 48, which is disposed at the upper end of the cover plate sidewall 41A. The cover plate sealing ring 48 can be made of, for example, an elastic material and is configured to seal against the lower surface of the upper cover plate 46. A flange 41J protruding outward in the radial direction DR is disposed at the upper end of the cover plate sidewall 41A. The cover plate sealing ring 48 is fitted over the flange 41J in the radial direction DR. The upper surface of the cover plate sealing ring 48 contacts the lower surface of the upper cover plate 46, thereby forming a seal between the upper cover plate 46 and the lower cover plate 41, thereby preventing leakage from the sidewalls of the overflow prevention chamber 15.
[0268] The pot mouth sealing ring 43 is further provided with a second support portion 43F, which is configured as a rib protruding inwardly in the radial direction DR on the inner circumferential surface of the pot mouth sealing ring 43. The upper surface of the second support portion 43F abuts the lower surface of the cover plate sealing ring 48, thereby supporting the flange 41J of the lower cover plate 341. This supports the lower cover plate 341 at the central lower cover plate connector 52 and at the outer periphery, further stabilizing the connection between the lower cover plate 341 and the upper cover plate 46.
[0269] like Figure 33 and Figure 34 As shown, the upper cover plate 46 is provided with a reinforcement groove 46D. The reinforcement groove 46D may be configured as a groove extending along the circumferential direction DC, so as to further enhance the structural strength of the upper cover plate 46 .
[0270] In the fourth embodiment of the present application, the structure of the cover bottom wall 341H is somewhat different from the cover bottom wall 41H in the first embodiment. For example, the lower cover 341 is provided with a connection hole 41E for detachably connecting to the lower cover connector 52. For another example, the lower cover 341 is not directly mounted on the detachable cover seat 47.
[0271] In the fourth embodiment, the bottom wall 320 may also include a second bottom wall portion 22 having a first bottom wall through hole 25A and a fourth bottom wall portion 24 having a second bottom wall through hole 25B. The second bottom wall portion 22 is located closer to the exhaust component 30 than the fourth bottom wall portion 24. The area and number of the first bottom wall through holes 25A, the area and number of the second bottom wall through holes 25B, the distance between the first bottom wall through holes 25A and the second bottom wall through holes 25B, the partitioning structure of the bottom wall 320, the shape of the bottom wall 320, and the connection between the exhaust component 30 and the overflow prevention chamber 15 may all be the same as those in the first embodiment. It can also be understood that the features of the first embodiment that apply to the fourth embodiment can also be applied to the fourth embodiment.
