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.

[0043] According to the present application, an operating assembly is provided for cooperating with the pot body 20 and the cover body 70, such as Figures 1 to 3As shown, the first embodiment of the operating assembly includes: a first operating member 10, a driving member 30, and a second operating member 40. The first operating member 10 is rotatably mounted on the pot body 20. The driving member 30 is rotatably mounted on the pot body 20 and is capable of driving the engaging mechanism 72 of the lid body 70 to switch between a engaging position and a first disengaged position. The driving member 30 is drivingly connected to the first operating member 10. The second operating member 40 is movably mounted on the pot body 20 and is capable of driving the engaging mechanism 23 on the pot body 20 to switch from the engaged position to the second disengaged position.

[0044] Using the technical solution of Example 1, the user first operates the first operating member 10 on the pot body 20 to switch the locking mechanism 72 from the locking position to the first separation position, and then operates the second operating member 40 on the pot body to switch the locking mechanism 23 from the locking position to the second separation position, thereby facilitating the opening of the lid. The first operating member 10 and the second operating member 40 of the present application are both centrally arranged on a single component (such as the pot body 20). In this way, the user can open the lid using only one component, eliminating the need to move back and forth between the pot body and the lid as in the related art. This shortens the operating distance and makes the operation more convenient. Therefore, the technical solution of Example 1 effectively solves the problem of the user's complicated operation when opening the lid in the related art.

[0045] It should be noted that the “rotation” in the above-mentioned first operating member 10 being rotatable means that the rotation range of the first operating member 10 is within 180 degrees, or within 360 degrees.

[0046] In other embodiments, the first operating member 10 is movably disposed on the pot body 20 .

[0047] The pot teeth of the present application can be a pot edge, a convex edge or an outward turning edge.

[0048] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the driving member 30 is provided with a matching portion, and the first operating member 10 is provided with a driving portion that drives and cooperates with the matching portion. The matching portion and the driving portion make it easy for the first operating member 10 to drive the driving member 30, which is simple and low in cost.

[0049] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the first operating member 10 includes a knob 11 rotatably arranged on the pot body 20, and the driving part is arranged on the knob 11. The arrangement of the knob 11 facilitates the user to operate the first operating member 10 in a rotating manner, so that the operation is more flexible.

[0050] like Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, the mating portion includes a mating elongated hole 31, and the driving portion includes a first driving shaft 12 provided on the knob 11, and the first driving shaft 12 is inserted into the mating elongated hole 31. In this way, when the user rotates the knob 11, the first driving shaft 12 rotates in the mating elongated hole 31 and can push against the side wall of the mating elongated hole 31, so that the driving member 30 rotates on the pot body, thereby facilitating the driving of the locking mechanism 72. A first arc-shaped avoidance hole 211 is provided on the pot body 20 to avoid the first driving shaft 12. The first arc-shaped avoidance hole 211 is consistent with the rotation trajectory of the first driving shaft 12, which can prevent the first driving shaft 12 from interfering with the pot body during rotation.

[0051] Specifically, the knob 11 is disposed on the mounting seat 24 , a guide ring rib 241 is disposed on the front side of the mounting seat 24 , and a guide ring groove 16 is disposed on the knob 11 to guide and cooperate with the guide ring rib 241 .

[0052] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the second operating member 40 includes a first button 41, a first clearance hole 212 is provided on the pot body 20, and a second drive shaft 42 is provided on the first button 41 to pass through the first clearance hole 212. The provision of the first button 41 facilitates the user to press the second operating member 40, thereby driving the locking mechanism 23 via the second drive shaft 42. Specifically, the movement of the second drive shaft 42 drives the locking mechanism 23. To prevent interference with the second drive shaft 42 during the user's rotation of the knob 11, the knob 11 is provided with a second arc-shaped clearance hole 13 to clear the second drive shaft 42. The positioning of the second arc-shaped clearance hole 13 and the second drive shaft 42 indicates that the first operating member 10 and the second operating member 40 of the first embodiment are located at the same location on the pot body. This allows the user to easily operate the second operating member after operating the first operating member by moving only a short distance.

[0053] In the second embodiment of the operating assembly, the difference from the first embodiment of the operating assembly lies in the structure of the first operating member 10. In the second embodiment of the operating assembly, as shown in FIG. Figure 1 、 Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the first operating member 10 includes a dial button 14 movably arranged on the pot body 20, and the driving part is arranged on the dial button 14. The arrangement of the dial button 14 facilitates the user to operate the first operating member 10 in a movable manner, so that the operation is more flexible.

[0054] like Figure 1 、 Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown, in the second embodiment of the operating assembly, the mating portion includes a mating slot 31, and the driving portion includes a third driving shaft 15 inserted into the mating slot 31. Thus, when the user moves the dial button 14, the third driving shaft 15 moves within the mating slot 31 and pushes against the sidewall of the mating slot 31, causing the driving member 30 to rotate on the pot body, thereby facilitating the driving of the locking mechanism 72. The pot body 20 is provided with a second avoidance hole 213 that avoids the operating portion of the dial button 14. The provision of the second avoidance hole 213 prevents interference with the pot body during user movement of the operating portion.

[0055] Specifically, the dial button 14 is disposed on the mounting seat 24 . A sliding groove 242 is disposed on the rear side of the mounting seat 24 . The second avoidance hole 213 passes through the sliding groove 242 , and the dial button 14 slides in the sliding groove 242 .

[0056] like Figure 1 、 Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, in the second embodiment of the operating assembly, the second operating member 40 includes a second button 43, the pot body 20 is provided with a third avoidance hole 214, and the second button 43 is provided with a fourth drive shaft 44 that passes through the third avoidance hole 214. The second button 43 is provided so that the user can press the second operating member 40 to drive the fastening mechanism 23 via the fourth drive shaft 44. That is, the fourth drive shaft 44 drives the fastening mechanism 23 when it moves.

[0057] In embodiment 1 of the operating component, in order to facilitate processing, installation and assembly, the operating component also includes a mounting base 24 installed on the pot body 20, the first operating member 10 can be rotatably or movably set on the mounting base 24, the driving member 30 can be rotatably set on the mounting base 24, and the second operating member 40 can be movably set on the mounting base 24.

[0058] Specifically, a positioning shaft 243 is provided at the rear of the mounting seat 24 , and the lower end of the driving member 30 is sleeved on the positioning shaft 243 so that the driving member 30 can rotate around the positioning shaft 243 .

[0059] In the first embodiment of the operating assembly, the pot body includes a housing 21 and a middle plate 26 disposed on top of the housing 21. The mounting base 24 is mounted on the housing 21. A driving member 30 is provided with a curved guide plate 33. The middle plate 26 is provided with a curved guide groove 262 that cooperates with the curved guide plate 33. A through hole 261 is provided at the bottom of the curved guide groove 262. The through hole 261 extends through the upper and lower surfaces of the middle plate 26. This allows the top of the driving member 30 to be exposed from the through hole 261 from bottom to top, facilitating the installation of the first coupling portion 32 described below on the top of the driving member 30.

[0060] In the first embodiment of the operating assembly, after the user operates the second operating member 40 to switch from the engaged position to the second disengaged position, the operating assembly further includes an elastic return member 25 disposed between the second operating member 40 and the pot body 20 to facilitate switching of the second operating member 40 from the second disengaged position to the engaged position. The elastic return member 25 applies an elastic force to the second operating member 40 in a direction from causing the fastening mechanism 23 to be in the second disengaged position to causing the fastening mechanism 23 to be in the engaged position. The elastic return member 25 is preferably a spring.

[0061] The present application also provides a cooking utensil, such as Figures 1 to 9 As shown, the embodiment of the cooking appliance includes a pot body 20, a lid body 70 disposed on the pot body 20, and an operating assembly disposed on the pot body 20. The operating assembly is the aforementioned operating assembly. Because the aforementioned operating assembly can solve the problem of the user's complicated operation when opening the lid in the related art, the cooking appliance including the operating assembly can also solve the same technical problem.

[0062] like Figure 1 、 Figures 6 to 9 As shown, the pot body 20 is provided with pot teeth 221, and the cover body 70 includes a cover body 71 and a latching mechanism 72 movably provided on the cover body 71. The cooking appliance further includes a transmission member 50 movably provided on the cover body 71 and a latching mechanism 23 movably provided on the pot body 20. The latching position is when the latching mechanism 72 is latched with the pot teeth 221, and the first separation position is when the latching mechanism 72 is separated from the pot teeth 221. The latching position is when the latching mechanism 23 locks the cover body 70 on the pot body 20, and the second separation position is when the latching mechanism 23 unlocks the cover body 70 from the pot body 20 so that the cover body 70 can be opened from the pot body 20. When the latching mechanism 23 is in the latching position and when the driving member 30 is coupled with the transmission member 50, the transmission member 50 drives the latching mechanism 72 to switch between the latching position and the first separation position. In this way, the arrangement of the transmission member 50 can transmit the driving force applied by the driving member 30 to the engaging mechanism 72, so that the engaging mechanism 72 can smoothly switch between the engaging position and the first disengaged position.

[0063] In this embodiment, the provision of a handle on the top surface of the cover is avoided, thereby increasing the usable area of ​​the top surface of the cover, facilitating the provision of a light panel and an interactive interface on the top surface of the cover, increasing the area of ​​the interactive interface between the cooking utensil and the user, and improving the user's operational convenience and product experience.

[0064] It should be noted that the pot body includes an outer shell 21 and an inner pot arranged in the outer shell 21, and the pot teeth are arranged on the inner pot; or the pot body also includes a heat-insulating cover arranged in the outer shell 21, and the pot teeth are arranged on the heat-insulating cover; or the pot body also includes a middle plate 26 arranged on the top of the outer shell 21 and a pressure ring 22 arranged above the middle plate 26, and the pot teeth are arranged on the pressure ring 22.

[0065] It should be noted that the engaging mechanism includes a locking ring or locking cover rotatably mounted on the cover body, the locking ring or locking cover having a cover tooth that engages or disengages with the pot teeth. Of course, in other embodiments, the engaging mechanism includes a caliper structure movable in the radial direction of the cover body, the caliper structure having a cover tooth that engages or disengages with the pot teeth, or the engaging mechanism includes a flap having a cover tooth that is flip-up mounted on the cover body to engage or disengage the cover tooth with the pot teeth. In this embodiment, when the cover tooth engages with the pot teeth, the engaging mechanism is in the engaging position, and when the cover tooth disengages from the pot teeth, the engaging mechanism is in the first disengaged position.

[0066] like Figure 2 、 Figure 6 、 Figures 9 to 13 As shown, the transmission member 50 includes a rocker arm 51 that is swingably mounted on the cover body 71 and a transmission block 52 that is movably mounted on the cover body 71. The first end of the rocker arm 51 engages with the transmission block 52 via a first sliding engagement structure 61, and the second end of the rocker arm 51 engages with the latching mechanism 72 via a second sliding engagement structure 62. The provision of the first sliding engagement structure 61 facilitates the transmission of the force generated by the movement of the transmission block 52 to the first end of the rocker arm 51, thereby enabling the rocker arm 51 to swing on the cover body 71. The provision of the second sliding engagement structure 62 facilitates the transmission of the force generated by the swinging of the rocker arm 51 to the latching mechanism 72, thereby facilitating the movement of the latching mechanism 72 on the pot body 20. The driving member 30 is provided with a first coupling portion 32, and the transmission block 52 is provided with a second coupling portion 53 that can couple with the first coupling portion 32. When the second coupling portion 53 is coupled to the first coupling portion 32, the driver 30 drives the transmission block 52 to move, thereby causing the rocker 51 to swing, causing the rocker 51 to drive the engaging mechanism 72 to switch between the engaging position and the first disengaged position. When the second coupling portion 53 is disengaged from the first coupling portion 32, the driver 30 and transmission block 52 are disconnected, allowing the lid to be opened from the pot body. A pivot and torsion spring are provided between the lid and pot body to enable automatic opening of both. The lid is pivotally mounted on the pot body and connected to the pot body via a torsion spring.

[0067] Specifically, the cover body 71 is provided with a fixing post 76, and the swing arm 51 is swingably sleeved on the fixing post 76. The cover body 71 is also provided with a guide groove 74, and the transmission block 52 is movably provided in the guide groove 74, so that the transmission block 52 can move smoothly.

[0068] Specifically, in this embodiment, the first sliding engagement structure 61 includes a first slide post 611 disposed on the transmission block 52 and a first slide hole 612 disposed on the first end of the rocker arm 51.

The second sliding engagement structure 62 includes a second slide post 621 disposed on the latch mechanism 72 and a second slide hole 622 disposed on the second end of the rocker arm 51. The second slide post 621 is inserted into the second slide hole 622, and the sidewall of the second slide hole 622 pushes the second slide post 621 to move. The cover body 71 is also provided with an arcuate guide hole 73 for the second slide post 621 to pass through. Thus, the arcuate guide hole 73 provides guidance for the movement of the second slide post 621.

[0069] Specifically, the first coupling portion 32 is preferably a coupling block, and the second coupling portion 53 is preferably a coupling notch. The cover body 71 includes an inner lining 711 disposed on the outer side of the locking mechanism 72 and a surface cover 712 disposed on the outer side of the inner lining 711. The transmission member 50 is swingably disposed on the inner lining 711. The locking mechanism 72 includes a locking cover 721 and a cover tooth 722 disposed at the bottom of the locking cover 721. The bottom of the inner lining 711 is provided with an undercut 75. The locking mechanism 23 includes a lock 231 swingably disposed below the middle plate 26. The lock 231 can be engaged with or disengaged from the undercut 75. The lower end of the lock 231 has a force-bearing portion 232. When the second operating member of the operating assembly moves, it can drive the force-bearing portion 232 to cause the lock 231 to swing from a position engaged with the undercut 75 to a position disengaged from the undercut 75. An elastic member 233 is provided between the lock catch 231 and the side panels of the middle plate 26. The elastic member 233 applies an elastic force to the lock catch 231, facilitating the lock catch 231 to swing from a position separated from the undercut 75 to a position engaged with the undercut 75. In this embodiment, when the lock catch 231 is engaged with the undercut 75, the engaging mechanism 23 is in the engaged position. When the lock catch 231 is separated from the undercut 75, the engaging mechanism 23 is in the second, separated position.
