DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0036] To make the purpose, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention more clear, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, not all embodiments. Generally, the components of the embodiments of the present invention described and shown in the drawings herein can be arranged and designed in various different configurations.

[0037] Therefore, the following detailed description of the embodiments of the present invention provided in the accompanying drawings is not intended to limit the scope of the claimed invention, but rather merely represents selected embodiments of the present invention. All other embodiments derived by persons of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without creative effort are also within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0038] The following embodiments of the present invention are described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. In the absence of conflict, the following embodiments and features in the embodiments may be combined with each other.

[0039] Example:

[0040] like Figures 1-6 As shown, the pot cover device provided in this embodiment includes a pot cover 1 and a handle 2; a control module is provided inside the handle 2, the handle 2 is installed on the top of the pot cover 1, and the handle 2 and the pot cover 1 are detachably connected through a connecting component 3.

[0041] The pot cover device provided in this embodiment can be used for automatic stir-fry pots and other pots that can automatically cook. The control module has the same function as the control module in existing pots, and is used to control the opening and closing of the driving device of the stirring structure, thereby controlling the operation of the stirring structure to realize the automatic stir-frying function of the pot.

[0042] In order to make full use of the space on the cookware, the control module in the pot cover device provided in this embodiment is also installed inside the handle 2.

[0043] Since installing the control module in the handle 2 will increase the volume of the handle 2, and the pot cover 1 needs to be cleaned after daily cooking, the handle 2 and the pot cover 1 in the pot cover device provided in this embodiment are detachably connected via a connecting component 3. The connecting component 3 can be made of fasteners such as screws and snaps, which can improve the convenience of installation and removal between the pot cover 1 and the handle 2, thereby facilitating the separation of the pot cover 1 from the handle 2 when cleaning the pot cover 1, without the need to clean the handle 2 and the pot cover 1 together. This not only improves the convenience of the pot cover 1 cleaning process, but also prevents water from entering the handle 2 and damaging the control module.

[0044] Compared with the prior art, the pot lid device provided in this embodiment realizes a detachable connection between the handle 2 and the pot lid 1 through the connecting component 3, which can improve the convenience of installation and removal between the handle 2 and the pot lid 1, thereby facilitating the separation of the handle 2 with the control module from the pot lid 1 when cleaning the pot lid 1. There is no need to clean the handle 2 and the pot lid 1 together, which can improve the convenience of the cleaning process of the pot lid 1.

[0045] In practical applications, the connecting component 3 may include a buckle and a slot that are engaged with each other, or may include two magnets that are magnetically attracted to each other.

[0046] In order to ensure the connection effect of the connecting component 3, the present embodiment preferably includes an active connecting component 3 and a passive connecting component; the passive connecting component is fixed on the handle 2, and the active connecting component is arranged on the side of the pot cover 1 facing away from the handle 2. The active connecting component is used to connect with the passive connecting component after the passive connecting component passes through the mounting hole 10 on the pot cover 1, so as to fix the handle 2 to the top of the pot cover 1.

[0047] The active connector may be a fastener such as a cotter pin, and correspondingly, the passive connector may be a rod-shaped structure with a pin hole.

[0048] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in this embodiment, the preferred passive connector is a connecting column 30, and the active connector is a connecting nut 31. The outer wall of the connecting column 30 is provided with an external thread adapted to the connecting nut 31; one end of the connecting column 30 is fixedly connected to the side of the handle 2 facing the pot cover 1, and the other end passes through the mounting hole 10 and is located on the side of the pot cover 1 facing away from the handle 2. The connecting nut 31 is threadedly connected to the connecting column 30 and abuts against the side of the pot cover 1 facing away from the handle 2.

[0049] The mounting hole 10 on the pot cover 1 is used for the connecting post 30 to pass through. When fixing the handle 2 to the pot cover 1, the handle 2 can be first attached to the outside of the pot cover 1, and at the same time, the connecting post 30 is extended through the mounting hole 10 to the inside of the pot cover 1, and then the connecting nut 31 is passed through the connecting post 30 and screwed onto the connecting post 30. Figure 6 As shown, the lid 1 and the handle 2 are fixedly connected until the connecting nut 31 abuts against the inner wall of the lid 1 (that is, the side of the lid 1 facing away from the handle 2).

[0050] When the handle 2 needs to be separated from the pot cover 1, the connecting nut 31 is rotated in the opposite direction to disengage it from the connecting column 30, so that the connecting column 30 can be withdrawn from the mounting hole 10 and away from the pot cover 1, thereby achieving separation between the handle 2 and the pot cover 1.

[0051] When the passive connector is the connecting column 30 and the active connector is the connecting nut 31, not only can the assembly difficulty of the connecting component 3 on the pot cover 1 and the handle 2 be reduced, but also Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the connecting nut 31 can be used to seal and protect the connecting column 30, preventing the connecting column 30 from being directly exposed to the cooking space under the pot cover 1, and preventing fluids such as oil smoke and moisture from entering the interior of the handle 2 along the connecting column 30.

[0052] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, a positioning hole 11 is also provided on the pot cover 1, which is located at the edge of the mounting hole 10 and is connected to the mounting hole 10; the column body of the connecting column 30 is provided with a positioning boss 300 adapted to the positioning hole 11, and the positioning boss 300 is used to pass through the positioning hole 11.

[0053] When inserting the connecting post 30 through the mounting hole 10 on the pot lid 1, the positioning protrusion must also be inserted through the positioning hole 11. After the connecting post 30 extends to the inside of the pot lid 1, the positioning post can be rotated so that the positioning protrusion 300 is misaligned with the positioning hole 11. At this time, the positioning protrusion 300 can abut the side of the pot lid 1 facing away from the handle 2, thereby cooperating with the pot lid 1 to limit the handle 2, further effectively improving the installation stability of the handle 2.

[0054] In order to improve the abutment balance between the connecting column 30 and the pot cover 1 and thus improve the installation balance of the handle 2, there can be two positioning holes 11 and two positioning bosses 300, and the two positioning holes 11 are symmetrically distributed on both sides of the installation hole 10, and the positioning bosses 300 are symmetrically distributed on both sides of the connecting column 30.

[0055] like Figure 3 As shown, the side walls of the positioning boss 300 that contact the edge of the positioning hole 11 are all inclined, and the inclined surface is inclined from the side close to the connecting nut 31 to the side away from the connecting nut 31, toward the direction away from the central axis of the positioning boss 300.

[0056] The inclined surface of the positioning boss 300 can guide the connecting column 30 when the connecting column 30 passes through the mounting hole 10, thereby reducing the difficulty of assembling the connecting column 30 and improving the convenience of assembling the handle 2 on the pot cover 1.

[0057] like Figure 6 As shown, a seal is provided between the connecting nut 31 and the pot cover 1 .

[0058] Specifically, the end surface of the connecting nut 31 that abuts against the pot cover 1 can be provided with an annular groove 310 extending along its circumference, and a sealing ring 4 is provided in the annular groove 310. The sealing ring 4 abuts between the inner wall of the annular groove 310 and the pot cover 1, and can seal the gap between the connecting nut 31 and the pot cover 1, effectively preventing the steam or liquid in the pot from seeping out from the abutment between the pot cover 1 and the connecting nut 31 during the cooking process.

[0059] In addition, the sealing ring 4 in the annular groove 310 can also increase the friction between the connecting nut 31 and the pot cover 1, thereby playing an elastic anti-loosening role on the threaded connection between the connecting nut 31 and the connecting column 30, further enhancing the connection stability between the connecting column 30 and the connecting nut 31.

[0060] In order to further improve the connection stability between the handle 2 and the pot lid 1, as Figure 2 、 Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the connecting nut 31 may include an outer ring nut 311 and an inner ring nut 312, the inner ring nut 312 is arranged on the inner side of the outer ring nut 311 and the inner ring nut 312 and the outer ring nut 311 are connected to each other through a plurality of support ribs, and the inner circumferential wall of the inner ring nut 312 is provided with an internal thread adapted to the connecting column 30.

[0061] During use, the inner ring nut 312 in the connecting nut 31 is used to be threadedly connected to the connecting column 30, and the outer ring nut 311 is used to abut against the side of the pot cover 1 facing away from the handle 2. At this time, the inner ring nut 312 and the outer ring nut 311 cooperate with each other, which can not only improve the structural stability of the connecting nut 31, but also effectively expand the abutment range between the connecting nut 31 and the pot cover 1, effectively improving the connection stability between the handle 2 and the pot cover 1.

[0062] To maximize the contact area between the connecting nut 31 and the pot lid 1 and enhance the connection stability between the handle 2 and the pot lid 1, in this embodiment, the outer diameter of the end surface of the connecting nut 31 that contacts the pot lid 1 is preferably greater than or equal to 50 mm. When the connecting nut 31 includes an outer nut 311 and an inner nut 312, the outer diameter of the outer nut 311 is greater than or equal to 50 mm.

[0063] like Figure 8 、 Figure 9 and Figure 10 As shown, the connecting column 30 includes a fixed end and a free end, the fixed end is used to be fixedly connected to the handle 2 or the pot cover 1, and the free end is used to be inserted into the connecting nut 31; the end of the connecting nut 31 close to the free end is provided with an extension portion 313 extending toward the central axis of the connecting nut 31, and the free end is in contact with the extension portion 313 and is sealed between the extension portion 313.

[0064] When the free end of the connecting post 30 abuts the extension 313, the connection stability between the connecting post 30 and the connecting nut 31 can be further improved. The sealing arrangement between the free end of the connecting post 30 and the extension 313 can effectively prevent steam from escaping through the gap between the connecting post 30 and the connecting nut 31 during cooking.

[0065] To achieve a sealing arrangement between the free end of the connecting column 30 and the extension portion 313, as shown in FIG. Figure 9 and Figure 10 As shown, an annular sealing gasket 5 is provided on one side of the extension portion 313 facing the connecting post 30 , and the sealing gasket 5 abuts between the free end of the connecting post 30 and the extension portion 313 .

[0066] In order to improve the installation stability of the sealing gasket 5, as Figure 9 As shown, the inner edge of the extension portion 313 can also be bent toward the connecting column 30 to cooperate with the inner wall of the connecting nut 31 to form an annular receiving groove, and the sealing gasket 5 is installed in the receiving groove.

[0067] It should be noted that, when the connecting nut 31 is composed of an inner ring nut 312 and an outer ring nut 311 , the extension portion may be provided at the bottom of the inner ring nut 312 and extend toward the interior of the inner ring nut 312 .

[0068] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the body of the connecting column 30 includes a threaded section 301 and a smooth section 302. The threaded section 301 is provided with an external thread. The body of the smooth section 302 is smooth and the smooth section 302 is located on the side of the connecting column 30 away from the connecting nut 31. The end face of the end where the external thread intersects with the smooth section 302 is parallel to the radial direction of the connecting column 30.

[0069] When the end face of the external thread at the intersection with the smooth section 302 is parallel to the radial direction of the connecting column 30, an axial supporting force can be applied to the connecting nut 31 threadedly connected to the connecting column 30 to prevent the connecting nut 31 with a backward tendency from rotating in the opposite direction of the external thread, thereby preventing the connecting nut 31 from loosening.

[0070] like Figure 4 As shown, the external thread is a multi-start thread.

[0071] Compared with a single-start thread, a multi-start thread can not only improve the locking force between the connecting column 30 and the connecting nut 31, but also reduce the screw thread stroke to further improve the installation and removal convenience between the pot cover 1 and the handle 2. Therefore, in this embodiment, the external thread is preferably a multi-start thread.

[0072] like Figure 2 As shown, the outer peripheral wall of the connecting nut 31 is prismatic.

[0073] When the outer peripheral wall of the connecting nut 31 is prismatic, it is convenient to transmit torque to the connecting nut 31 during the rotation of the connecting nut 31, thereby effectively improving the convenience of installation and removal between the connecting nut 31 and the connecting column 30, making it easy to separate the handle 2 from the pot cover 1, and further improving the convenience of cleaning the pot cover 1.

[0074] This embodiment also provides a cooking device, which includes the above-mentioned pot cover device. Therefore, the cooking device and the above-mentioned pot cover device can solve the same technical problems and achieve the same technical effects, which will not be repeated here.

[0075] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention, rather than to limit it. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the above embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that they can still modify the technical solutions described in the above embodiments, or replace some or all of the technical features therein with equivalents. However, these modifications or replacements do not deviate the essence of the corresponding technical solutions from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention.
