Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of small household appliances, and in particular to a cover assembly and a cooking utensil. Background Art
[0002] In the related art, pressure cooking appliances generally include a pot body and a lid body assembly. Since the internal pressure of the pressure cooking appliance is relatively high during cooking, pot teeth and lid teeth that can be interlocked with each other are provided on the pot body and the lid body assembly respectively to meet the pressure requirements during the cooking process; in addition, a hook mechanism is also provided between the pot body and the lid body assembly to achieve double locking.
[0003] When the cover assembly is in the closed position, the cover assembly is in a hook-fit state, that is, the hook mechanism is in the hook position, and the locking mechanism is switched from the separated position to the locked position; before the cover assembly is in the open position, the locking mechanism is first switched from the locked position to the separated position, and then the cover assembly is switched from the hook-fit state to the unhooked state, that is, the hook mechanism is switched from the hook position to the unhooked position, and then the cover assembly is in the open position.
[0004] Due to the existence of the above-mentioned double locking structure, the user also needs to perform two operations in the process of opening the cover. The first operation realizes the switching of the locking mechanism from the locked position to the separated position, and the second operation realizes the switching of the hook mechanism from the hook position to the unhooked position, which makes the cover opening operation cumbersome and affects the user experience. Utility Model Content
[0005] The main purpose of the utility model is to provide a cover assembly and a cooking utensil to solve the problem of cumbersome cover opening operation in the related art.
[0006] In order to achieve the above-mentioned purpose, according to one aspect of the present invention, a cover assembly is provided, which is used to be openably and closably covered on a pot body and has a closed position and an open position; the cover assembly comprises: a cover body, comprising a cover body main body and a locking mechanism movably arranged on the cover body main body, the locking mechanism having a separation position separated from the pot teeth on the pot body and a locking position engaged with the pot teeth; a rotating member rotatably arranged on the cover body main body and having a first rotation position, a second rotation position and a third rotation position, the first rotation position being located between the second rotation position and the third rotation position; a first reset member connected to the locking mechanism and the rotating member; when the cover body is closed, the lid body is locked. When the assembly is in the closed position and the cover assembly is in a hook-fit state, the rotating member is driven along the first direction to switch from the first rotation position to the second rotation position, driving the locking mechanism to switch from the separated position to the locked position; when the cover assembly is in the closed position, the locking mechanism remains in the separated position, and the rotating member is driven along a second direction opposite to the first direction to switch from the first rotation position to the third rotation position, and the cover assembly switches from the hook-fit state to the unhooked state; when the cover assembly is in the open position, the first reset member has a first reset force, and the rotating member is driven by the first reset force to rotate from the third rotation position to the first rotation position.
[0007] According to the technical solution of the present invention, when the cover assembly is in the closed position and in a snap-fit state, the rotating member is driven in a first direction to switch from the first rotational position to the second rotational position, thereby driving the locking mechanism to switch from the separated position to the locked position. Conversely, when the cover assembly is in the closed position and in a snap-fit state, the rotating member is driven in a second direction opposite to the first direction to switch from the second rotational position to the first rotational position, thereby driving the locking mechanism to switch from the locked position to the separated position. When the cover assembly is in the closed position, the locking mechanism remains in the separated position, and the rotating member is driven in a second direction opposite to the first direction to switch from the first rotational position to the third rotational position, thereby switching the cover assembly from the snap-fit state to the unhooked state, thereby achieving lid opening. Because the rotating member rotates in the second direction throughout the process of rotating from the second rotational position to the first rotational position and then to the third rotational position, the user only needs to perform one operation to respectively move the cover assembly to the separated position and the unhooked state, thereby achieving lid opening, thereby simplifying the user's operation and improving the user experience. Therefore, the technical solution of the present application can effectively solve the problem of cumbersome lid opening operation in the related art. In addition, when the lid assembly is in the lid opening position, the first reset member has a first reset force, and the rotating member is acted upon by the first reset force so as to rotate the rotating member from the third rotation position to the first rotation position. In this way, since the rotating member is now in the first rotation position, the user can perform another operation to quickly drive the rotating member to rotate from the first rotation position to the second rotation position along the first direction to facilitate the locking mechanism to switch from the separated position to the locked position. This conforms to the user's operating habits and effectively improves the user experience.
[0008] Furthermore, the locking mechanism includes a locking ring rotatably mounted on the cover body and a driving post mounted on the locking ring. The locking ring has cover teeth that mate with pot teeth. The driving post is mounted on the rotating member. The first end of the first reset member is connected to the driving post, and the second end of the first reset member is connected to the rotating member. In the above structure, since the first end of the first reset member is connected to the driving post and the second end of the first reset member is connected to the rotating member, the first reset member can drive the rotating member to rotate, so that the rotating member rotates from the third rotational position to the first rotational position. That is, the rotating member is reset to its initial position, making it easier for the user to drive it.
[0009] Furthermore, the rotating member is provided with an elongated hole for passing the driving column, the first reset member also has a second reset force, the second reset force is greater than the first reset force, and the first end of the elongated hole is arranged closer to the second end of the first reset member relative to the second end of the elongated hole; when the rotating member rotates from the first rotation position to the second rotation position, the first end of the elongated hole pushes and cooperates with the driving column, and the locking mechanism switches from the separated position to the locked position; when the rotating member rotates from the second rotation position to the first rotation position, the driving column rotates under the action of the second reset force, and the locking mechanism switches from the locked position to the separated position; when the rotating member rotates from the first rotation position to the third rotation position, the locking mechanism remains in the separated position under the stop of the cover body, the first end of the elongated hole gradually moves away from the driving column, and the second end of the elongated hole gradually approaches the driving column. In the above structure, when the rotating member rotates in the second direction, the second end of the elongated hole can cooperate with the interaction between the driving column and the first reset member, ensuring that the locking mechanism is in the separated position and the cover assembly is in the unhooked engagement state.
[0010] Furthermore, an elongated hole for passing a driving column is provided on the rotating member, and the first reset member also has a second reset force, the second reset force is greater than the first reset force, and the first end of the elongated hole is arranged close to the first end of the first reset member relative to the second end of the elongated hole; when the rotating member is rotated from the first rotation position to the second rotation position, the second end of the elongated hole cooperates with the driving column to push and the locking mechanism switches from the separated position to the locked position; when the rotating member is rotated from the second rotation position to the first rotation position, the driving column rotates under the action of the second reset force, and the locking mechanism switches from the locked position to the separated position; when the rotating member is rotated from the first rotation position to the third rotation position, the locking mechanism remains in the separated position under the stop of the cover body, and the second end of the elongated hole gradually moves away from the driving column, and the first end of the elongated hole gradually approaches the driving column.
[0011] Furthermore, the rotating member includes a rotating plate, the rotating plate is provided with a mounting groove, and the first reset member is located in the mounting groove. The above-mentioned mounting groove allows the first reset member to be compactly mounted on the rotating plate, saving space and making the entire cover assembly more compact.
[0012] According to another aspect of the present invention, a cooking utensil is provided, comprising: a pot body, on which pot teeth are provided; a cover assembly, which is openably and closably covered on the pot body, and the cover assembly is the above-mentioned cover assembly; a hook mechanism, which is movably provided on the pot body and has a hook position for putting the cover assembly in a hook-engaged state and a unhooking position for putting the cover assembly in an unhooked state.
[0013] Furthermore, the cooking appliance further includes: a knob rotatably disposed on the pot body; a lower transmission member rotatably disposed on the pot body, wherein the knob drives the lower transmission member to rotate when the knob is rotated; an upper transmission member rotatably disposed on the lid body, wherein the upper transmission member drives the rotating member to rotate when the upper transmission member is rotated; when the lid assembly is in the closed position and the rotating member is in the first rotational position, the upper transmission member and the lower transmission member are in transmission engagement with each other, and the lower transmission member and the upper transmission member can rotate synchronously; when the lid assembly is in the open position, the lower transmission member and the upper transmission member are separated and engaged. In the above structure, by configuring the knob, the lower transmission member, and the upper transmission member, the user can control the locking and separation of the lid assembly by rotating the knob, thereby simplifying the operating process and improving the user experience.
[0014] Furthermore, the upper transmission member includes an upper coupling member rotatably mounted on the cover body and a first toothed member connected to the upper coupling member. The upper coupling member is capable of engaging with the lower transmission member. The rotating member is provided with a second toothed member that engages with the first toothed member. The lower transmission member drives the upper coupling member for rotation, and the engaging engagement between the first and second toothed members drives the rotating member for rotation. In the above structure, the transmission method between the first and second toothed members effectively and efficiently transmits the power of the lower transmission member to the rotating member, ensuring a smooth and efficient driving process.
[0015] The cooking appliance further includes a first bevel gear connected to the knob, and a lower transmission member includes a lower coupling member rotatably disposed on the pot body and a second bevel gear connected to the lower coupling member. The lower coupling member is capable of engaging with the upper transmission member. The knob drives the first bevel gear to rotate, and the engagement between the first and second bevel gears drives the lower coupling member to rotate. The engagement between the first and second bevel gears ensures precise switching of the rotating member between different rotational positions, thereby ensuring the stability and safety of the lid assembly during opening.
[0016] Furthermore, the knob is provided with a resisting member, and the hook mechanism is provided with a resisting inclined surface. When the knob is rotated in a third direction, the knob rotates from the first operating position to the second operating position, and the rotating member rotates from the first rotation position to the second rotation position. When the knob is rotated in a fourth direction opposite to the third direction, the knob rotates from the first operating position to the third operating position, the rotating member rotates from the first rotation position to the third rotation position, and the resisting member pushes the resisting inclined surface to switch the hook mechanism from the hook position to the unhooked position. In the above structure, the user rotates the knob to rotate the knob in the third direction or the fourth direction, thereby driving the rotating member to rotate in the first direction or the second direction. Moreover, the resisting inclined surface can change the pushing direction of the resisting member to switch the hook mechanism from the hook position to the unhooked position.
[0017] Furthermore, the cooking appliance further includes a second reset member disposed on the pot body, which applies a third reset force to the hook mechanism, causing the hook mechanism to switch from the unhooked position to the hooked position. The knob rotates from the third operating position to the first operating position under the push-fitting action of the abutting inclined surface and the abutting member. In the above-described structure, the third reset force of the second reset member resets the hook mechanism to the hooked position and drives the knob to reset to the first operating position. The provision of the second reset member ensures that the hook mechanism and knob automatically reset each time the lid is opened and then closed, avoiding erroneous operation caused by forgetting to reset the lid.

In all examples shown and discussed here, any specific value should be interpreted as being merely exemplary, rather than as a limitation. 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.
[0046] like Figures 1 to 8As shown, the present application provides a cover assembly, an embodiment of the cover assembly is used to be openably and closably mounted on a pot body 20, and has a closed position and an open position; the cover assembly includes: a cover 10, a rotating member 30, and a first reset member 41. The cover 10 includes a cover body 11 and a locking mechanism 12 movably mounted on the cover body 11, the locking mechanism 12 having a separation position separated from the pot teeth 21 on the pot body 20 and a locking position engaged with the pot teeth 21. The rotating member 30 is rotatably mounted on the cover body 11, and has a first rotation position, a second rotation position, and a third rotation position, wherein the first rotation position is located between the second rotation position and the third rotation position, wherein the first rotation position is the initial position of the rotating member 30. The first reset member 41 is connected to the locking mechanism 12 and the rotating member 30. When the cover assembly is in the closed position and is in a hook-and-loop state, the rotating member 30 is driven in a first direction to switch from the first rotational position to the second rotational position, driving the locking mechanism 12 to switch from the separated position to the locked position. When the cover assembly is in the closed position, the locking mechanism 12 remains in the separated position, and the rotating member 30 is driven in a second direction opposite to the first direction to switch from the first rotational position to the third rotational position, switching the cover assembly from the hook-and-loop state to the unhooked state. When the cover assembly is in the open position, the first return member 41 has a first return force, and the rotating member 30 is driven by the first return force to rotate from the third rotational position to the first rotational position.
[0047] Applying the technical solution of this embodiment, when the cover assembly is in the closed position and is in a hook-and-snap state, the rotating member 30 is driven along the first direction to switch from the first rotational position to the second rotational position, driving the locking mechanism 12 to switch from the separated position to the locked position. Conversely, when the cover assembly is in the closed position and is in a hook-and-snap state, the rotating member 30 is driven along a second direction opposite to the first direction to switch from the second rotational position to the first rotational position, driving the locking mechanism 12 to switch from the locked position to the separated position. When the cover assembly is in the closed position, the locking mechanism 12 remains in the separated position, and the rotating member 30 is driven along the second direction opposite to the first direction to switch from the first rotational position to the third rotational position, switching the cover assembly from the hook-and-snap state to the unhooked state, thereby achieving opening of the cover. Since the rotating member 30 rotates in the second direction throughout its rotation from the second rotational position to the first rotational position and then to the third rotational position, the user only needs to perform one operation to move the cover assembly to the separated position and the unhooked engagement state, thereby opening the cover. This simplifies the user's operation and improves the user experience. Therefore, the technical solution of the present application effectively solves the problem of cumbersome cover opening operations in the related art. Furthermore, when the cover assembly is in the open position, the first return member 41 exerts a first return force, and the rotating member 30, under the action of the first return force, rotates from the third rotational position to the first rotational position. Thus, since the rotating member 30 is now in the first rotational position, the user can perform another operation to quickly drive the rotating member 30 from the first rotational position to the second rotational position in the first direction to switch the locking mechanism 12 from the separated position to the locked position. This aligns with the user's operating habits and effectively improves the user experience. Furthermore, since the rotating member 30 is rotated from the third rotation position to the first rotation position under the action of the first reset force, before the cover assembly is covered on the pot body again, the components driving the rotating member 30, such as the lower transmission member or the upper transmission member mentioned below, can be reset, ensuring that there is no interference between the components between the cover assembly and the pot body, so that the cover assembly can be smoothly covered on the pot body again, further improving the user experience.
[0048] The following points need to be explained:
[0049] 1. When the lid assembly is in the closed position, it is only closed on the pot body, and all components on the lid assembly remain in their current working state. When the lid assembly is in the open position, the lid assembly has been removed from the pot body. The closed position means that the lid assembly has just been placed on the pot body and has switched from the unhooked state to the hooked state. The open position means that the lid assembly has been removed from the pot body.
[0050] 2. A hook mechanism is provided between the pot body and the lid assembly. When the lid assembly is in a hook-engaged state, the hook mechanism is in the hooked position; when the lid assembly is in a disengaged state, the hook mechanism is in the disengaged position.
[0051] 3. The rotating member 30 is driven by providing a rotatable knob or handle on the pot body or the lid body, and the rotating member 30 can be driven to rotate when the knob or handle is rotated.
[0052] 4. The pot body includes an outer shell, a heat-insulating cover arranged in the outer shell, and an inner pot arranged in the heat-insulating cover, and the pot teeth are arranged on the heat-insulating cover or the inner pot, or the pot body also includes a middle plate arranged on the top of the outer shell and a pressure ring arranged above the middle plate, and the pot teeth are arranged on the pressure ring.
[0053] 5. The locking mechanism 12 includes a locking ring or locking cover rotatably mounted on the lid body. The locking ring or locking cover has a cover tooth that engages or disengages the pot teeth to lock or disengage. In other embodiments, the locking mechanism 12 may include a caliper structure movable in the radial direction of the lid body, the caliper structure having a cover tooth that engages or disengages the pot teeth, or a flap having a cover tooth that is tiltably mounted on the lid body to lock or disengage the pot teeth. When the cover tooth engages the pot teeth to lock, the locking mechanism 12 is in a locked position. When the cover tooth engages the pot teeth to lock, the locking mechanism 12 is in a disengaged position.
[0054] 6. The pot teeth of the present application can be a pot edge, a convex edge or an outward turning edge.
[0055] like Figure 2a 、 Figure 5 、 Figure 7 and Figure 8As shown, the locking mechanism 12 includes a locking ring 121 rotatably arranged on the cover body 10 and a driving column 122 arranged on the locking ring 121. The locking ring 121 has a cover tooth that cooperates with the pot tooth 21, and the driving column 122 is passed through the rotating member 30. When the rotating member 30 is driven in a first direction, the driving column 122 is driven to rotate, and then the locking ring 121 is driven to rotate, so that the locking mechanism 12 is switched from the separated position to the locked position. When the rotating member 30 is driven in a second direction, since the first end of the first reset member 41 is connected to the driving column 122 and the second end of the first reset member 41 is connected to the rotating member 30, the first reset member 41 can drive the driving column 122 to rotate, and then drive the locking ring 121 to rotate, so that the locking mechanism 12 is switched from the locked position to the separated position. The first reset member 41 is preferably a tension spring. When the rotating member 30 is continuously driven in the second direction, the driving post 122 is stopped by the cover body 11, so that the locking mechanism 12 remains in the disengaged position. The rotating member 30 rotates from the first rotational position to the third rotational position relative to the driving post 122, so that the cover assembly switches from the hook-engaged state to the unhooked state, thereby enabling the cover to be opened. After the cover is opened, since the first end of the first return member 41 is connected to the driving post 122 and the second end of the first return member 41 is connected to the rotating member 30, the first return member 41 can drive the rotating member 30 to rotate, so that the rotating member 30 rotates from the third rotational position to the first rotational position, and the rotating member 30 is restored to its initial position.
[0056] In other embodiments, when the rotating member 30 is driven along the second direction, the rotating member 30 can directly drive the driving column 122 to rotate, so that the locking mechanism 12 switches from the locking position to the disengaged position.
[0057] It should be noted that the first end of the first return member 41 is connected to the driving column 122, and the second end of the first return member 41 is connected to the rotating member 30, which means that: when the first return member 41 is preferably a tension spring, the first end of the first return member 41 is hooked on the driving column 122, and the second end of the first return member 41 is hooked on the rotating member 30; when the first return member 41 is preferably a compression spring, the first end of the first return member 41 abuts on the driving column 122, and the second end of the first return member 41 abuts on the rotating member 30.
[0058] like Figure 2a 、 Figure 5 、 Figure 7 and Figure 8As shown, the rotating member 30 is provided with an elongated hole 31 for receiving the drive post 122. The first reset member 41 also has a second reset force that is greater than the first reset force. The first end 311 of the elongated hole is positioned closer to the second end of the first reset member 41 relative to the second end 312 of the elongated hole. When the rotating member 30 rotates from the first rotational position to the second rotational position, the first end 311 of the elongated hole pushes against the drive post 122, and the locking mechanism 12 switches from the disengaged position to the locked position. When the rotating member 30 rotates from the second rotational position to the first rotational position, the drive post 122 rotates under the action of the second reset force, and the locking mechanism 12 switches from the locked position to the disengaged position. When the rotating member 30 rotates from the first rotational position to the third rotational position, the locking mechanism 12 remains in the disengaged position due to the stopper of the cover body 11. The first end 311 of the elongated hole gradually moves away from the drive post 122, and the second end 312 of the elongated hole gradually moves closer to the drive post 122. Thus, when the rotating member 30 rotates in the second direction, the second end 312 of the elongated hole can cooperate with the interaction between the driving column 122 and the first return member 41, ensuring that the locking mechanism 12 is in the disengaged position and the cover assembly is in the unhooked and engaged state. When the rotating member 30 rotates from the second rotational position to the first rotational position, the second return force is greater than the first return force, which helps provide additional protection. Therefore, the driving column 122 rotates under the action of the second return force, and the locking mechanism 12 can switch from the locked position to the disengaged position.
[0059] Furthermore, during the process of switching the lid assembly from the closed position to the open position, the locking mechanism 12 must first be maintained in the disengaged position. At this time, the rotating member 30 is driven in a second direction opposite to the first direction to switch from the first rotational position to the third rotational position. The first end 311 of the elongated hole gradually moves away from the drive post 122, while the second end 312 of the elongated hole gradually moves closer to the drive post 122. Even if the user applies an incorrect force during operation, the locking mechanism 12 remains in the disengaged position due to the stopper action of the lid body 11, thus avoiding safety hazards caused by improper operation.
[0060] In this embodiment, when the rotating member 30 drives the driving column 122 to rotate, in order to enable the locking ring 121 to rotate smoothly and steadily, an arc-shaped hole 111 is provided on the cover body 11 for guiding the driving column 122, and when the rotating member 30 rotates from the first rotation position to the third rotation position, the driving column 122 is stopped by one end of the arc-shaped hole 111, so that the locking mechanism 12 is maintained in the separated position under the stop of the cover body 11.
[0061] like Figure 2a 、 Figure 5 、 Figures 7 to 9As shown, the rotating member 30 includes a rotating plate 32, which is provided with a mounting groove 321. The first reset member 41 is located within the mounting groove 321. As a key component of the rotating member 30, the rotating plate 32 provides a stable platform, ensuring that the rotating member 30 remains stable when switching between different rotational positions. Furthermore, the provision of the mounting groove 321 allows the first reset member 41 to be compactly mounted on the rotating plate 32, saving space and making the entire cover assembly more compact.
[0062] In this embodiment, the first end of the first reset member 41 is connected to the driving column 122, and the rotating member 30 also includes a fixing hook 322 arranged on the rotating plate 32, the fixing hook 322 is spaced apart from the long hole 31, and the second end of the first reset member 41 is connected to the fixing hook 322.
[0063] In another embodiment of the cover assembly, the difference from the embodiment of the cover assembly is that the first reset member 41 is preferably a compression spring. Figure 2b 、 Figure 5 、 Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, in another embodiment of the cover assembly, the rotating member 30 is provided with an elongated hole 31 for receiving the drive post 122. The first return member 41 also has a second return force that is greater than the first return force. The first end 311 of the elongated hole is positioned closer to the first end of the first return member 41 relative to the second end 312 of the elongated hole. When the rotating member 30 rotates from the first rotational position to the second rotational position, the second end 312 of the elongated hole pushes against the drive post 122, causing the locking mechanism 12 to switch from the disengaged position to the locked position. When the rotating member 30 rotates from the second rotational position to the first rotational position, the drive post 122 rotates under the action of the second return force, causing the locking mechanism 12 to switch from the locked position to the disengaged position. When the rotating member 30 rotates from the first rotational position to the third rotational position, the locking mechanism 12 remains in the disengaged position due to the stopper of the cover body 11. The second end 312 of the elongated hole gradually moves away from the drive post 122, while the first end 311 of the elongated hole gradually approaches the drive post 122. Thus, when the rotating member 30 rotates in the second direction, the first end 311 of the elongated hole can cooperate with the interaction between the driving column 122 and the first return member 41, ensuring that the locking mechanism 12 is in the disengaged position and the cover assembly is in the unhooked and engaged state. When the rotating member 30 rotates from the second rotational position to the first rotational position, the second return force is greater than the first return force, which helps provide additional protection, so that the driving column 122 rotates under the action of the second return force, and the locking mechanism 12 can switch from the locked position to the disengaged position.
[0064] The present application also provides a cooking utensil, such as Figures 1 to 8As shown, an embodiment of a cooking utensil includes: a pot body 20, a lid assembly, and a hook mechanism 50. The pot body 20 is provided with pot teeth 21. The lid assembly is openably and closably mounted on the pot body 20, and the lid assembly is the lid assembly described above. The hook mechanism 50 is movably mounted on the pot body 20 and has a hook position for engaging the lid assembly and a disengagement position for disengaging the lid assembly. Because the lid assembly described above can solve the problem of cumbersome lid opening operation in the related art, a cooking utensil including the lid assembly can also solve the same technical problem.
[0065] like Figure 2a 、 Figure 5 、 Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the cooking appliance further includes a knob 60, a lower transmission member 70, and an upper transmission member 80. The knob 60 is rotatably mounted on the pot body 20. The lower transmission member 70 is rotatably mounted on the pot body 20, and rotation of the knob 60 drives the lower transmission member 70 to rotate. The upper transmission member 80 is rotatably mounted on the lid body 11, and rotation of the upper transmission member 80 drives the rotating member 30 to rotate. When the lid assembly is in the closed position and the rotating member 30 is in the first rotational position, the upper transmission member 80 and the lower transmission member 70 engage in transmission, allowing the lower transmission member 70 and the upper transmission member 80 to rotate synchronously. When the lid assembly is in the open position, the lower transmission member 70 and the upper transmission member 80 disengage and engage. Thus, by configuring the knob 60, the lower transmission member 70, and the upper transmission member 80, the user can control the locking and unlocking of the lid assembly by rotating the knob, simplifying the operation process and improving the user experience. Specifically, to facilitate user operation, the knob 60 is located on the front side of the pot body 20.
[0066] like Figures 1 to 8 As shown, the upper transmission member 80 includes an upper coupling member 81 rotatably disposed on the cover body 11 and a first toothed member 82 connected to the upper coupling member 81. The upper coupling member 81 can engage with the lower transmission member 70. The rotating member 30 is provided with a second toothed member 33 that engages with the first toothed member 82. The lower transmission member 70 drives the upper coupling member 81 to rotate, and the rotating member 30 is driven to rotate by the engagement of the first toothed member 82 with the second toothed member 33. The transmission method of the first toothed member 82 and the second toothed member 33 effectively transmits the power of the lower transmission member 70 to the rotating member 30 in a highly efficient manner, ensuring a smooth and efficient driving process.
[0067] In this embodiment, the first toothed member 82 includes a first gear, and the second toothed member 33 includes a first rack. The first gear and the first rack are meshed for transmission.
[0068] In other embodiments, the first tooth member 82 includes a third bevel gear, the second tooth member 33 includes a fourth bevel gear, and the third bevel gear and the fourth bevel gear are meshed for transmission.
[0069] like Figure 3 、 Figures 8 to 11 As shown, the cooking appliance also includes a first bevel gear 61 connected to the knob 60. The lower transmission member 70 includes a lower coupling member 71 rotatably mounted on the pot body 20 and a second bevel gear 72 connected to the lower coupling member 71. The lower coupling member 71 is capable of engaging with the upper transmission member 80. The knob 60 drives the first bevel gear 61 for rotation, and the engagement between the first bevel gear 61 and the second bevel gear 72 drives the lower coupling member 71 for rotation. This engagement ensures precise switching of the rotating member 30 between different rotational positions, thereby ensuring stability and safety of the lid assembly during opening. Furthermore, positioning both the lower coupling member 71 and the second bevel gear 72 on the pot body 20 not only increases the space available on the top surface of the lid assembly, but also increases the design area for the light panel interface, enhancing the user-friendliness of the product. It also effectively utilizes the space on the pot body 20, effectively maximizing the overall space utilization of the cooking appliance.
[0070] In this embodiment, a connecting square hole is provided at the rear of the knob 60, and a connecting square column is provided on the axle of the first bevel gear 61 to be inserted into the connecting square hole. In this way, when the knob 60 is rotated, the first bevel gear 61 can be driven to rotate together.
[0071] like Figure 3 、 Figures 8 to 11 As shown, the knob 60 is provided with a resisting member 611, and the hook mechanism 50 is provided with a resisting inclined surface 51. When the knob 60 is rotated in the third direction, the knob 60 rotates from the first operating position to the second operating position, and the rotating member 30 rotates from the first rotation position to the second rotation position. When the knob 60 is rotated in a fourth direction opposite to the third direction, the knob 60 rotates from the first operating position to the third operating position, and the rotating member 30 rotates from the first rotation position to the third rotation position. The resisting member 611 pushes the resisting inclined surface 51, and the resisting inclined surface 51 can change the pushing direction of the resisting member 611, so that the hook mechanism 50 switches from the hook position to the unhooked position. In this way, the user rotates the knob 60 to rotate in the third direction or the fourth direction, thereby driving the rotating member 30 to rotate in the first direction or the second direction. In the above process, no additional operating steps are required, which simplifies the usage process and improves the convenience and experience of user operation. In addition, the different operating positions of the knob 60, the first operating position, the second operating position, and the third operating position, correspond to different states of separation, locking, and unhooking of the cover assembly, providing the user with intuitive operating feedback, allowing the user to clearly understand the current state of the cooking utensil, and improving the accuracy and safety of the operation.
[0072] like Figure 8 and Figures 10 to 14As shown, in this embodiment, the pot body 20 includes an outer shell 22, a middle plate 24 disposed at the top of the outer shell 22, and an inner pot 23 disposed within the outer shell 22. The pot teeth 21 are disposed on the inner pot 23. The middle plate 24 is provided with a mounting hole 241 for mounting a lower coupling member 71. The lower coupling member 71 is rotatable within the mounting hole 241. A knob seat 221 is provided on the side of the outer shell 22. The knob 60 is rotatably mounted on the knob seat 221. The rear portion of the knob seat 221 is provided with an arcuate guide groove 223. A third reset member 43 is disposed within the arcuate guide groove 223. A first retaining rib 222 is disposed within the arcuate guide groove 223. The first bevel gear 61 is provided with a second retaining rib 612. The ends of the third reset member 43 abut against the first retaining rib 222 and the second retaining rib 612, respectively. The third reset member 43 applies a fourth reset force to the first bevel gear 61 to reset the knob 60. After opening the lid, if the user accidentally rotates the knob 60 from the first operating position to the second operating position and stops operating, the knob 60 will not remain in the second operating position. Under the action of the fourth restoring force of the third restoring member 43, the knob 60 automatically rotates from the second operating position back to the first operating position, so that the user can directly rotate the knob 60 from the first operating position to the second operating position or the third operating position next time, thereby improving the convenience of user operation. The third restoring member 43 is preferably a compression spring.
[0073] In this embodiment, the abutting member 611 is an eccentric column, which deviates from the rotation axis of the knob 60 by a certain distance. The eccentric column is configured as a ball head at the end; the ball head can cooperate with the abutting inclined surface 51.
[0074] In this embodiment, the third direction is clockwise, and the fourth direction is counterclockwise. Correspondingly, the first direction is leftward in the left-right direction of the pot, and the second direction is rightward in the left-right direction of the pot. Of course, in other embodiments, the third direction is counterclockwise, the fourth direction is clockwise, the first direction is rightward, and the second direction is leftward.
[0075] like Figure 3 、 Figures 8 to 11As shown, the cooking utensil also includes a second reset member 42 disposed on the pot body 20. The second reset member 42 applies a third reset force to the hook mechanism 50, causing the hook mechanism 50 to switch from the unhooked position to the hooked position, and drives the abutting inclined surface 51 to push and cooperate with the abutting member 611, so that the knob 60 rotates from the third operating position to the first operating position. In this way, under the action of the third reset force of the second reset member 42, the hook mechanism 50 can be reset to the hooked position, and the knob 60 can be driven to reset to the first operating position. The provision of the second reset member 42 ensures that the hook mechanism and knob 60 can be automatically reset each time the lid is opened and then closed, avoiding erroneous operation caused by forgetting to reset. Moreover, the cooperation between the second reset member 42, the abutting inclined surface, and the abutting member ensures that the knob rotates smoothly and accurately from the third operating position to the first operating position. When the user finishes cooking and opens the lid, simply close the lid assembly and the hook mechanism will automatically return to the hook position, re-engaging with the hook mechanism to ensure a tight connection between the pot and the lid, meeting the pressure-bearing requirements of the pressure cooking appliance. The second reset member 42 is preferably a compression spring.
[0076] In this embodiment, the hook mechanism 50 is further provided with an escape space 52. When the knob 60 rotates between the first operating position and the second operating position, the abutting member 611 rotates within the escape space 52. Thus, when the knob 60 rotates between the first operating position and the second operating position, the hook mechanism 50 does not interfere with the abutting member 611, thereby preventing the hook mechanism 50 from being driven, and thus allowing the hook mechanism 50 to reliably remain in the hooked position.
[0077] like Figure 8 、 Figure 12 and Figure 14 As shown, the hook mechanism 50 includes a hook plate that is swingably disposed on the middle plate, and the hook plate has a hook 53. The top inclined surface 51 and the avoidance space 52 are both disposed on the hook plate. The second reset member 42 applies a third reset force to the hook plate.
[0078] In this embodiment, the cover body 11 includes an inner lining located above the locking ring, and the hook mechanism 50 also includes an undercut arranged at the bottom of the inner lining. The hook 53 and the undercut can be in a hook-fit state or an unhooked state. When the hook 53 and the undercut are in the hook-fit state, the hook mechanism 50 is in the hook position. When the hook 53 is separated from the undercut, the hook mechanism 50 is in the unhooked position.
[0079] like Figure 1 As shown, the cover assembly is pivotally mounted on the pot body 20, and the cover assembly and the pot body 20 are connected by a torsion spring (not shown). Thus, when the hook mechanism 50 is in the unhooked position, the cover assembly can automatically spring open under the action of the torsion spring, so that the cover assembly can be opened from the pot body 20.
[0080] In this embodiment, the functions implemented when the user operates the knob of the cooking appliance in the first operating position, the second operating position, and the third operating position are as follows:
[0081] When the user rotates the knob clockwise to drive the first bevel gear 61 to rotate, and the engagement of the first bevel gear 61 with the second bevel gear 72 drives the lower coupling member 71 to rotate counterclockwise, the abutting member 611 idles in the avoidance space 52, and the abutting member 611 does not contact the abutting inclined surface 51. The knob rotates from the first operating position to the second operating position. After the knob is released, under the action of the third reset member 43, the knob automatically rotates counterclockwise to a position where the abutting member 611 abuts against the abutting inclined surface 51, and the knob is reset to the first operating position. When the user rotates the knob counterclockwise, the abutting member 611 abuts against the abutting inclined surface 51 and moves downward to push the abutting inclined surface 51, so that the abutting inclined surface 51 is subjected to force to rotate the hook plate about its swing axis, so that the hook 53 rotates backward and disengages from the inverted hook. This position is set to the unhooked state, that is, the knob is in the third operating position. The push-up member 611 only moves on the push-up slope 51. After the knob is released, the push-up member 611 is pushed back to the starting point of the push-up slope 51 along the push-up slope 51 under the action of the force of the push-up slope 51 and the third reset force of the second reset member 42 on the hook plate. This corresponds to the first operating position of the knob. Due to the action of the fourth reset force of the third reset member on the knob, the position of the push-up member 611 is just limited to the starting point of the push-up slope 51, that is, the first operating position of the knob, and the hook plate and the knob are automatically reset at the same time.
[0082] After closing the cover, the hook 53 of the hook plate automatically engages with the inverted hook. At this time, the knob 60 is rotated clockwise, and the lower coupling member 71 rotates counterclockwise synchronously, driving the upper coupling member 81 that cooperates with the lower coupling member 71 to rotate counterclockwise; the upper coupling member 81 is fixed together with the first tooth member 82, and the first tooth member 82 is engaged with the second tooth member 33 to drive the rotating member 30 to rotate left, so that the locking mechanism 12 rotates clockwise to lock and can withstand pressure. At this time, the knob is rotated from the first operating position to the second operating position. After cooking is complete and the pressure inside the pot has been released, the knob 60 is rotated counterclockwise to disengage the locking mechanism 12. At this point, when the knob is rotated from the second operating position to the first operating position and then further counterclockwise to the third operating position, the rotating member 30 continues to rotate from the first rotational position to the third rotational position, but the locking mechanism 12 does not rotate. However, the driving column 122 of the locking mechanism 12 is restricted by the arc-shaped hole 111 and cannot move, thereby pulling the first reset member 41 to maintain the engagement of the first tooth member 82 and the second tooth member 33 for a certain distance until the hook mechanism 50 is in the disengaged position, thereby enabling the lid to be opened. When the knob is released, it automatically returns to the first operating position; the hook plate returns to the hooked position. After opening the lid, the knob can be automatically reset. The fourth reset force is less than the engagement force of the locking mechanism 12. Otherwise, the fourth reset force of the third reset member is too large, directly rotating the locking mechanism 12 from the locked position to the disengaged position, where it cannot withstand pressure. The first reset force of the first reset member 41 is greater than the screwing force of the locking mechanism 12, so that the driving column 122 of the locking mechanism 12 is at the right end of the elongated hole 31 on the rotating member 30. Only when the knob is turned counterclockwise from the first operating position, the driving column 122 will move from the right end of the elongated hole 31 to the left end until the hook is unhooked. After the knob 60 is released, the first reset member 41 is automatically pulled back to its original position; this method of using the fourth reset force of the third reset member 43 to reset the knob and the method of using the first reset member 41 to reset the rotating member 30 of the cover assembly are combined into one, which is more convenient for users to prevent misoperation; this operation method is very convenient, and at the same time, the cover assembly also frees up space for a larger operation interactive interface, thereby improving the user experience of the product; the technology of the present application has the advantages of stable structure, simplicity, low cost and easy production.
