Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of small household appliances, and in particular to a pot body component and a cooking utensil having the same. Background Art

[0002] In related art, in order to ensure the pressure-bearing requirements of the pressure cooking appliance, a locking tooth structure is generally provided between the pot body assembly and the cover body assembly. The locking tooth structure includes pot teeth provided on the pot body assembly and cover teeth provided on the cover body assembly.

[0003] Therefore, when opening the lid, the locking mechanism must first be unlocked before the lid assembly can be opened; when closing the lid, after the lid assembly is placed over the pot assembly, the locking mechanism must also be locked. The unlocking and locking mechanisms are typically achieved through a handle or knob on the lid assembly. This handle or knob takes up space above the lid assembly, requiring the control panel to be located on the pot assembly or requiring only a small control panel to be located on the lid assembly, resulting in a poor user experience. Utility Model Content

[0004] The main purpose of the present invention is to provide a pot body assembly and a cooking utensil having the same, so as to solve the problem of poor user experience when users operate the control panel in the related art.

[0005] In order to achieve the above-mentioned purpose, according to one aspect of the present invention, a pot body assembly is provided, including: a shell; a rotating operating member, which is arranged on the shell, and the rotating operating member has a first rotation stroke range, and the first rotation stroke range is greater than or equal to 30° and less than or equal to 180°; an opening and closing cover driving member, which is located in the shell and exposed upward from the shell, and the opening and closing cover driving member is driven and cooperated with the rotating operating member so that when the rotating operating member rotates, the opening and closing cover driving member is driven to move or rotate.

[0006] Using the technical solution of the present invention, a rotary operating member is provided on the housing, and a lid opening and closing driving member is located within the housing and cooperates with the rotary operating member. The user can drive the lid opening and closing driving member to move or rotate by rotating the rotary operating member, thereby driving the locking member on the lid assembly to switch between a locked position and an unlocked position. That is, in the present application, the rotary operating member for user operation is provided on the pot assembly, and there is no need to provide an operating member for opening and closing the lid on the lid assembly, so that the top of the lid assembly can be completely free. Therefore, a larger control panel can be provided on the lid assembly for user convenience. In addition, the rotary operating member rotates within a first rotation range, which is greater than or equal to 30° and less than or equal to 180°. In this way, when the user rotates the rotary operating member, he only needs to rotate it once to meet the rotation requirement, which further facilitates user use. Therefore, the technical solution of the present application can effectively solve the problem of poor user experience when users operate the control panel in the related art.

[0007] Furthermore, the housing is provided with a mounting opening, and the pot body assembly further includes a mounting seat disposed at the mounting opening, wherein the mounting seat is provided with a limit structure to allow the rotary operating member to rotate within a first rotation range. Providing the limit structure on the mounting seat effectively ensures that the rotary operating member can rotate only within the first rotation range, thereby facilitating user use while preventing user error.

[0008] Furthermore, the rotary operating member includes a knob portion and a knob rod disposed on the knob portion. The knob portion extends outward from the housing, and the knob rod extends toward the interior of the housing and is disposed offset from the center of the knob portion. The limiting structure includes an arcuate groove, in which the knob rod is disposed. The center of the arcuate groove is located on the axis of the knob portion, and the central angle of the arcuate groove is between 30° and 180°. The provision of the arcuate groove guides the movement of the knob rod and limits the knob rod at its rotational limit position, thereby having the advantage of a simple structure.

[0009] Furthermore, the lid opening and closing drive member is a first rotating member, and the lid opening and closing drive member has a second rotational travel range, which is less than or equal to 360 degrees. This arrangement can avoid situations where the lid opening and closing drive member and the lid opening and closing transmission member can cooperate, but when the lid assembly is pressed down, the pot teeth and the lid teeth partially overlap, affecting further downward pressure of the lid assembly; or situations where the lid opening and closing drive member and the lid opening and closing transmission member can cooperate, but after the user rotates the rotating operating member to a set rotation angle, the pot teeth and the lid teeth partially overlap, resulting in the pressure bearing capacity between the pot teeth and the lid teeth not meeting the requirements.

[0010] Furthermore, the second rotation stroke range is greater than or equal to 240° and less than or equal to 300°. This can take into account both the need for position switching of the locking member and the need for a relatively small rotation angle when the user rotates the rotary operating member.

[0011] Furthermore, the pot body assembly further includes a translational transmission member disposed within the housing. The translational transmission member is disposed between the rotary operating member and the lid opening and closing drive member and is driven in conjunction with both the rotary operating member and the lid opening and closing drive member. When the rotary operating member rotates, the translational transmission member moves, and when the translational transmission member moves, the lid opening and closing drive member rotates. The translational transmission member includes a rack portion, and the lid opening and closing drive member includes a gear portion. The rack portion has a travel range, and the travel range is less than or equal to the reference line circumference of the gear portion. By ensuring that the travel range of the rack portion is less than or equal to the reference line circumference of the gear portion, the rack portion can only drive the gear portion to rotate once at most when it moves, thereby ensuring that the lid opening and closing drive member can rotate within the second rotational travel range.

[0012] Furthermore, the lid opening and closing drive member is a first rotating member, and the pot body assembly also includes a translational transmission member disposed within the housing. The translational transmission member is disposed between the rotary operating member and the lid opening and closing drive member and is driven and engaged with both the rotary operating member and the lid opening and closing drive member. The translational transmission member is provided with a drive slot extending in a vertical direction, and the knob rod is disposed within the drive slot so that rotation of the rotary operating member drives the translational transmission member in a lateral direction. The translational transmission member includes a rack portion, and the lid opening and closing drive member includes a gear portion that engages with the rack portion so that movement of the translational transmission member drives rotation of the lid opening and closing drive member. The drive slot is capable of avoiding vertical movement of the knob rod, and lateral movement of the knob rod drives the translational transmission member to move with it, thereby converting rotation of the rotary operating member into movement of the translational transmission member. The meshing between the rack portion and the gear portion converts movement of the translational transmission member into rotation of the lid opening and closing drive member.

[0013] According to another aspect of the present invention, a cooking utensil is provided, comprising a pot body assembly and a cover assembly that is openably and closably disposed over the pot body assembly. The pot body assembly is the pot body assembly described above, and the cover assembly includes a mounting cover, a locking member, and a lid opening and closing transmission member. The locking member is movably disposed on the mounting cover, and the lid opening and closing transmission member is disposed on the mounting cover and is driven and engaged with both the lid opening and closing drive member and the locking member to drive the locking member to switch between a locked position and an unlocked position. The pot body assembly described above can effectively resolve the problem of poor user experience when operating the control panel in the related art, and a cooking utensil having the pot body assembly described above also has the aforementioned advantages.

[0014] According to another aspect of the present invention, a cooking appliance is provided, comprising a pot body assembly and a lid assembly that is openably and closably disposed over the pot body assembly, wherein the pot body assembly is the pot body assembly described above, the lid assembly comprises a mounting cover, a locking member, and a lid opening and closing transmission member, the locking member being movably disposed on the mounting cover, the lid opening and closing transmission member being a second rotating member disposed on the mounting cover and drivingly cooperating with both the lid opening and closing drive member and the locking member to drive the locking member to switch between a locked position and an unlocked position. The lid opening and closing transmission member is configured as the second rotating member, so that the lid opening and closing transmission member can cooperate with the lid opening and closing drive member, allowing the driving force on the pot body assembly to be transmitted upwardly to the lid body assembly, thereby driving the locking member to switch between the locked position and the unlocked position.

[0015] Furthermore, a plug-in structure is provided between the cover opening and closing drive member and the cover opening and closing transmission member, the plug-in structure comprising a slot and a pin, one of the slot and the pin being provided on the cover opening and closing drive member, and the other of the slot and the pin being provided on the cover opening and closing transmission member, the slot and the pin having the same predetermined cross-section, which is a D-shape, a trapezoid, a T-shape, or a non-equilateral triangle. Furthermore, the cover assembly further comprises a transmission rocker provided between the cover opening and closing drive member and the locking member, the transmission rocker provided with a rotation hole, a transmission hole, and an upper driven tooth, the locking member provided with a transmission pin extending upwardly and passing through the transmission hole, the cover opening and closing transmission member provided with an upper driving tooth meshing with the upper driven tooth, and when the cover opening and closing transmission member rotates, the transmission rocker is driven to swing about the center of the rotation hole and the transmission pin. The predetermined cross-sections of the slot and the pin are D-shaped, trapezoidal, T-shaped, or a non-equilateral triangle, so that the slot and the pin have only one docking state within a 360-degree range. The engagement between the upper driving teeth and the upper driven teeth converts the rotation of the opening and closing cover transmission member into the swing of the transmission rocker rod centered on the axis of the rotating hole. During the swinging of the transmission rocker rod, the transmission column is driven to swing through the cooperation between the transmission hole and the transmission column, thereby driving the locking member to switch between the locked position and the unlocked position. It has the advantages of simple structure and reliable transmission. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

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.

[0043] like Figure 1 and Figure 7 As shown, the present application provides a pot body assembly. An embodiment of the pot body assembly of the present application includes: a housing 10, a rotary operating member 20, and a lid opening and closing driving member 30. The rotary operating member 20 is disposed on the housing 10 and has a first rotation range, which is greater than or equal to 30° and less than or equal to 180°. The lid opening and closing driving member 30 is located within the housing 10 and is upwardly exposed from the housing 10. The lid opening and closing driving member 30 cooperates with the rotary operating member 20 in driving, so that when the rotary operating member 20 rotates, the lid opening and closing driving member 30 is driven to move or rotate.

[0044] Using the technical solution of this embodiment, a rotary operating member 20 is disposed on the housing 10, and a lid opening and closing driver 30 is located within the housing 10 and cooperates with the rotary operating member 20. A user can rotate the rotary operating member 20 to cause the lid opening and closing driver 30 to move or rotate, thereby driving the locking member 70 on the lid assembly to switch between a locked position and an unlocked position. In other words, in this embodiment, the rotary operating member 20 for user operation is disposed on the pot assembly, eliminating the need for an operating member for opening and closing the lid on the lid assembly. This leaves the upper portion of the lid assembly completely free, thus allowing for a larger control panel on the lid assembly for user convenience. Furthermore, the rotary operating member 20 rotates within a first rotation range that is greater than or equal to 30° and less than or equal to 180°. This allows the user to rotate the rotary operating member 20 only once to meet their rotation requirements, further facilitating user experience. Therefore, the technical solution of this embodiment effectively addresses the problem of poor user experience when operating the control panel in the related art.

[0045] It should be noted that the aforementioned "the opening and closing lid driving member 30 is exposed upward from the housing 10" is not limited to the opening and closing lid driving member 30 extending upward from the housing 10. For example, an opening structure may be provided on the housing, the opening and closing lid driving member may be located below the opening structure, and a structure on the cover assembly that cooperates with the opening and closing lid driving member (specifically, the opening and closing lid transmission member) may be provided through the opening structure into the housing to cooperate with the opening and closing lid driving member; alternatively, the opening and closing lid transmission member and the opening and closing lid driving member may be magnetically coupled. In this case, the opening and closing lid driving member may be completely disposed inside the housing without providing an opening structure on the housing.

[0046] Specifically, in order to meet the pressure-bearing requirements of the pressure cooking appliance, a cover tooth is generally provided on the lid assembly, and a pot tooth is generally provided on the pot body assembly. The cover tooth has a position directly opposite to the pot teeth (at this time, the locking member 70 is in the locked position) and a position offset from the pot teeth (at this time, the locking member 70 is in the unlocked position). When the cover tooth and the pot teeth are offset, the lid assembly can be opened or closed relative to the pot body assembly; when the cover tooth is directly opposite to the pot teeth and the cover tooth is located below the pot teeth, the lid assembly cannot be opened relative to the pot body assembly, and the pot teeth and the cover tooth can withstand the pressure during pressure cooking, thereby ensuring the safety of the cooking appliance.

[0047] like Figure 1 As shown, in this embodiment, the housing 10 includes an outer shell 12, a middle plate 13 disposed above the outer shell 12, and a bottom shell 14 disposed below the outer shell 12. The pot assembly also includes a pot body 140 disposed within the housing 10, with pot teeth disposed on the pot body 140. The aforementioned "the lid opening and closing drive member 30 is exposed upward from the housing 10" refers to the lid opening and closing drive member 30 being exposed upward from the middle plate 13.

[0048] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the housing 10 is provided with a mounting opening 11. The pot assembly further includes a mounting base 40 disposed at the mounting opening 11. The mounting base 40 is provided with a limiting structure 41 to ensure that the rotary operating member 20 can rotate within a first rotation range. The provision of the limiting structure 41 on the mounting base 40 effectively ensures that the rotary operating member 20 can rotate only within the first rotation range, providing convenience for the user while preventing user error.

[0049] like Figures 1 to 3As shown, the rotary operating member 20 includes a knob portion 21 and a knob rod 22 disposed on the knob portion 21. The knob portion 21 extends outward from the housing 10, and the knob rod 22 extends toward the interior of the housing 10 and is disposed offset from the center of the knob portion 21. The limiting structure 41 includes an arcuate groove 411. The knob rod 22 is disposed within the arcuate groove 411. The center of the arcuate groove 411 is located on the axis of the knob portion 21, and the central angle of the arcuate groove 411 is between 30° and 180°. The provision of the arcuate groove 411 can guide the movement of the knob rod 22 and limit the knob rod 22 at the extreme rotational position, thereby having the advantage of a simple structure.

[0050] Preferably, the central angle of the arcuate slot 411 (i.e., the first rotation range) can be 30°, 60°, 90°, 120°, 150°, or 180°. Designers can select from the above angles as long as it can meet the requirements of driving the locking member 70 to switch positions and minimize the angle that the user needs to rotate the rotary operating member 20.

[0051] In this embodiment, the knob portion 21 extends outward from the housing 10 to facilitate user operation. Of course, in an embodiment not shown in the figures, the knob portion may not protrude from the housing, and an operating recess is provided on the housing for the user to insert the hand to rotate the knob portion. This configuration makes the surface of the housing smooth and without obvious protrusions, improving the overall aesthetics of the pot assembly and reducing the possibility of the user accidentally touching the knob portion during cooking.

[0052] like Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, the cover opening and closing drive member 30 is a first rotating member, and the cover opening and closing drive member 30 has a second rotation range, which is less than or equal to 360 degrees. Correspondingly, the structure on the cover assembly that cooperates with the cover opening and closing drive member 30 (i.e., the cover opening and closing transmission member 80 hereinafter) is also a rotating member, so that the second rotation range is less than or equal to 360 degrees. Therefore, within the rotation range of the cover opening and closing drive member 30, the cover opening and closing drive member 30 will not have more than two matching positions with the cover opening and closing transmission member 80, thereby avoiding the situation where the cover opening and closing drive member 30 and the cover opening and closing transmission member 80 can cooperate, but when the cover assembly is pressed down, the pot teeth and the cover teeth partially overlap, affecting further downward pressure of the cover assembly, or the situation where the cover opening and closing drive member 30 and the cover opening and closing transmission member 80 can cooperate, but after the user rotates the rotary operating member 20 to a set rotation angle, the pot teeth and the cover teeth partially face each other, so that the pressure bearing capacity between the pot teeth and the cover teeth does not meet the requirements.

[0053] In this embodiment, the second rotation range is greater than or equal to 240° and less than or equal to 300°. This satisfies both the need for position switching of the locking member 70 and the need for a relatively small rotation angle when the user rotates the rotary operating member 20. Preferably, the second rotation range can be 240°, 270°, or 300°.

[0054] like Figure 1 、 Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the pot body assembly further includes a translational transmission member 50 disposed within the housing 10. The translational transmission member 50 is disposed between the rotary operating member 20 and the lid opening and closing drive member 30 and is driven in conjunction with both the rotary operating member 20 and the lid opening and closing drive member 30. Rotation of the rotary operating member 20 drives the translational transmission member 50, which in turn drives the lid opening and closing drive member 30. The translational transmission member 50 includes a rack portion 51, and the lid opening and closing drive member 30 includes a gear portion 31. The rack portion 51 has a travel range that is less than or equal to the reference line circumference of the gear portion 31. The provision of the translational transmission member 50 allows rotation of the rotary operating member 20 along the transverse axis to be first converted into movement of the translational transmission member 50 and then into rotation of the lid opening and closing drive member 30 along the vertical axis, thereby facilitating the transmission of driving force between the lid opening and closing drive member 30 and the lid opening and closing transmission member 80 of the lid body assembly. By making the moving stroke range of the rack portion 51 less than or equal to the baseline circumference of the gear portion 31, the rack portion 51 can only drive the gear portion 31 to rotate one circle at most (that is, it can only rotate 360° at most) when it moves, so as to ensure that the opening and closing cover driving member 30 can rotate within the second rotation stroke range.

[0055] Specifically, in this embodiment, the range of movement of the translation transmission member 50 is determined by the radius and center angle of the arc groove 411. Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, a guide groove 53 is provided on the translation transmission member 50 , and the guide groove 53 can cooperate with the guide post on the middle plate 13 to ensure the translation trajectory of the translation transmission member 50 .

[0056] It should be noted that, in this embodiment, the gear portion 31 includes a plurality of lower driven teeth extending along the vertical direction, and the above-mentioned “baseline circumference of the gear portion 31 ” refers to the circumference of the circle where the base line of the plurality of lower driven teeth lies.

[0057] like Figure 1 and Figure 4As shown, the opening and closing cover driving member 30 includes a gear portion 31 and a lower coupling portion 32 which are separately arranged. A lower coupling seat 131 is provided on the middle plate 13. The lower coupling portion 32 is passed through the lower coupling seat 131 from top to bottom and cooperates with the upper surface stop of the lower coupling seat 131. The gear portion 31 is passed through the lower coupling seat 131 from bottom to top and cooperates with the lower surface stop of the lower coupling seat 131. The lower coupling portion 32 is fixedly connected to the gear portion 31. A slot 91 is provided on the upper end surface of the lower coupling portion 32 to realize synchronous rotation between the opening and closing cover transmission member 80 and the opening and closing cover driving member 30. The gear portion 31 is meshed with the rack portion 51.

[0058] like Figures 2 to 5 As shown, the opening and closing cover driving member 30 is the first rotating member, and the pot body assembly also includes a translation transmission member 50 arranged in the shell body 10. The translation transmission member 50 is arranged between the rotary operating member 20 and the opening and closing cover driving member 30 and is driven and cooperated with the rotary operating member 20 and the opening and closing cover driving member 30. A driving long groove 52 extending in the vertical direction is provided on the translation transmission member 50, and the knob rod 22 is passed through the driving long groove 52, so that when the rotary operating member 20 rotates, the translation transmission member 50 is driven to move in the horizontal direction. The translation transmission member 50 has a rack portion 51, and the opening and closing cover driving member 30 has a gear portion 31 matched with the rack portion 51, so that when the translation transmission member 50 moves, the opening and closing cover driving member 30 is driven to rotate. Because the knob rod 22 is offset from the center of the knob portion 21, when the user rotates the knob portion 21, the knob rod 22 moves along an arcuate trajectory (i.e., the trajectory of the arcuate slot 411). This means that the knob rod 22 has both a lateral and a vertical motion component. The driving slot 52 allows for the vertical movement of the knob rod 22. The lateral movement of the knob rod 22 drives the translational transmission member 50 to move along with it, thereby converting the rotation of the rotary operating member 20 into movement of the translational transmission member 50. The meshing between the rack portion 51 and the gear portion 31 converts the movement of the translational transmission member 50 into rotation of the lid opening and closing drive member 30.

[0059] like Figures 7 to 10 As shown, the present application also provides a cooking utensil. An embodiment of the cooking utensil of the present application includes a pot body assembly and a cover body assembly that is openably and closably mounted above the pot body assembly. The pot body assembly is the pot body assembly described above, and the cover body assembly includes a mounting cover 60, a locking member 70, and a lid opening and closing transmission member 80. The locking member 70 is movably mounted on the mounting cover 60. The lid opening and closing transmission member 80 is mounted on the mounting cover 60 and is driven and engaged with both the lid opening and closing drive member 30 and the locking member 70 to drive the locking member 70 to switch between a locked position and an unlocked position. The above-mentioned pot body assembly can effectively solve the problem of poor user experience when users operate the control panel in the related art, and the cooking utensil having the above-mentioned pot body assembly also has the above-mentioned advantages.

[0060] like Figure 8 As shown, in this embodiment, the cover teeth are provided on the locking member 70 .

[0061] like Figure 1 、 Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, in addition to the locking engagement between the pot teeth and the lid teeth, the pot body assembly and the lid assembly also feature a hook structure, achieving a double lock between the pot body assembly and the lid assembly. Specifically, the hook structure includes an upper hook 120 disposed on the lid assembly's mounting cover 60 and a lower hook 110 movably mounted on the middle plate 13. In this embodiment, the lower hook 110 is pivotally mounted on the middle plate 13. Of course, in embodiments not shown, the lower hook can also be movably mounted on the middle plate.

[0062] like Figure 6As shown, the lower hook 110 includes a shaft portion 111, a hook portion 112, and a push-up portion 113. The hook portion 112 and the push-up portion 113 are respectively arranged on either side of the shaft portion 111. The shaft portion 111 is hingedly coupled to the middle plate 13, and the hook portion 112 is capable of engaging with the upper hook 120. During the swinging process, the lower hook 110 can switch between an engaged position, in which it engages with the upper hook 120, and an unengaged position, in which it is separated from the upper hook 120. A retaining member is also provided on the pot body assembly, which applies a force to the lower hook 110 to maintain the lower hook 110 in the engaged position. When closing the lid, the upper hook 120 can push against the hook portion 112, allowing the lower hook 110 to overcome the force of the retaining member and switch from the engaged position to the unengaged position. After the upper hook 120 passes over the hook portion 112, the lower hook 110 returns from the unengaged position to the engaged position under the force of the retaining member, achieving automatic engagement between the upper hook 120 and the lower hook 110 during the lid closing process. When the lid needs to be opened, the user rotates the rotary operating member 20, and the knob rod 22 on the rotary operating member 20 can push against the push-top portion 113, causing the lower hook 110 to overcome the force of the retaining member and switch from the engaged position to the unengaged position. Specifically, the pushing top portion 113 is provided with an avoidance concave surface 1131 and a pushing inclined surface 1132 located below the avoidance concave surface 1131. In the direction from top to bottom, the pushing inclined surface 1132 extends toward the outside of the shell 10. When the knob rod 22 corresponds to the avoidance concave surface 1131, the knob rod 22 and the side wall of the driving long groove 52 are pressed against each other and drive the translation transmission member 50 to move. There is a certain distance between the knob rod 22 and the avoidance concave surface 1131. At this time, the knob rod 22 can drive the translation transmission member 50 without pushing the lower hook 110; when the knob rod 22 corresponds to the pushing inclined surface 1132, the side wall of the driving long groove 52 avoids the knob rod 22, and the knob rod 22 can push the pushing top portion 113 to drive the lower hook 110 to swing but cannot drive the translation transmission member 50 to move, thereby realizing the disengagement between the lower hook 110 and the upper hook 120. By providing an avoidance concave surface 1131 and a pushing inclined surface 1132 on the pushing top portion 113, the pushing top portion 113 can avoid part of the stroke of the knob rod 22, that is, the operation of first stripping and then releasing between the pot body assembly and the cover body assembly can be realized. During this process, the user only needs to rotate the rotating operating part, which simplifies the user's operating steps and improves the user experience.

[0063] The cooking appliance includes a pot body assembly and a lid assembly that is openably and closably mounted above the pot body assembly. The lid assembly includes a mounting cover 60, a locking member 70, and a lid opening and closing transmission member 80. The locking member 70 is movably mounted on the mounting cover 60. The lid opening and closing transmission member 80 is a second rotating member mounted on the mounting cover 60 and is driven and engaged with both the lid opening and closing drive member 30 and the locking member 70 to drive the locking member 70 to switch between a locked position and an unlocked position. The lid opening and closing transmission member 80 is configured as a second rotating member so that the lid opening and closing transmission member 80 can cooperate with the lid opening and closing drive member 30, allowing the driving force on the pot body assembly to be transmitted upwardly to the lid assembly, thereby driving the locking member 70 to switch between the locked position and the unlocked position.

[0064] like Figure 4 、 Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, a plug-in structure 90 is disposed between the lid driver 30 and the lid transmission member 80. This plug-in structure 90 includes a slot 91 and a pin 92. One of the slot 91 and the pin 92 is disposed on the lid driver 30, while the other is disposed on the lid transmission member 80. The slot 91 and the pin 92 have identical predetermined cross-sections, which can be D-shaped, trapezoidal, T-shaped, or equilateral triangles. This plug-in structure 90 enables the upward transmission of driving force from the pot body assembly into the lid body assembly, offering the advantages of a simple structure and reliable transmission. By designing the slot 91 and the pin 92 to have predetermined cross-sections of D, trapezoidal, T-shaped, or equilateral triangles, the slot 91 and the pin 92 can only have one docking position within a 360-degree range. Since both the opening and closing cover driving member 30 and the opening and closing cover transmission member 80 are rotating members, by reasonably setting the posture of the opening and closing cover driving member 30 when the cover body assembly is not closed on the pot body assembly, in the process of pressing the cover body assembly downward, the opening and closing cover transmission member 80 can only be docked with the opening and closing cover driving member 30 when it is rotated to a specific posture, thereby ensuring that the pot teeth and the cover teeth are in a misaligned state when the cover body assembly is pressed downward, and at the same time ensuring that when the user subsequently rotates the rotating operating member 20 at a set rotation angle to drive the locking member 70 to switch positions, it can ensure that the cover teeth and the pot teeth are exactly aligned, that is, the locking member 70 can smoothly switch from the unlocked position to the locked position. Avoid the situation where the opening and closing cover driving member 30 and the opening and closing cover transmission member 80 can cooperate but when the cover body assembly is pressed down, the pot teeth and the cover teeth partially overlap, affecting the further downward pressure of the cover body assembly; or avoid the situation where the opening and closing cover driving member 30 and the opening and closing cover transmission member 80 can cooperate but after the user rotates the rotating operating member 20 to the set rotation angle, the pot teeth and the cover teeth are partially facing each other, so that the pressure bearing capacity between the pot teeth and the cover teeth does not meet the requirements.

[0065] like Figure 8 and Figure 10As shown, the cover assembly further includes a transmission rocker 100 disposed between the cover opening and closing transmission member 80 and the lock member 70. The transmission rocker 100 is provided with a rotation hole 101, a transmission hole 102, and an upper driven tooth 103. The lock member 70 is provided with a transmission post 71 extending upward and passing through the transmission hole 102. The cover opening and closing transmission member 80 is provided with an upper driving tooth 81 that meshes with the upper driven tooth 103. When the cover opening and closing transmission member 80 rotates, the transmission rocker 100 is driven to swing about the center of the rotation hole 101, thereby driving the transmission post 71 to swing. The engagement between the upper driving tooth 81 and the upper driven tooth 103 converts the rotation of the cover opening and closing transmission member 80 into a swing of the transmission rocker 100 centered on the axis of the rotation hole 101. During the swinging of the transmission rocker 100, the engagement between the transmission hole 102 and the transmission post 71 drives the transmission post 71 to swing, thereby driving the lock member 70 to switch between the locked position and the unlocked position. The structure has the advantages of simple structure and reliable transmission.

[0066] like Figure 8 and Figure 9 As shown, the opening and closing cover transmission member 80 includes an upper driving tooth 81 and an upper coupling portion 82 which are separately arranged. An upper coupling seat 63 is provided on the mounting cover 60. The upper driving tooth 81 is passed through the upper coupling seat 63 from top to bottom and cooperates with the upper surface stop of the upper coupling seat 63. The upper coupling portion 82 is passed through the upper coupling seat 63 from bottom to top and cooperates with the lower surface stop of the upper coupling seat 63. The upper coupling portion 82 is fixedly connected to the upper driving tooth 81. The plug post 92 is provided at the lower end of the upper coupling portion 82 to realize the synchronous rotation between the opening and closing cover transmission member 80 and the opening and closing cover driving member 30. The upper driving tooth 81 is engaged with the upper driven tooth 103 on the transmission rocker 100 to drive the transmission rocker 100 to swing.

[0067] like Figure 9 and Figure 10 As shown, the rotation hole 101 and the upper driven tooth 103 are respectively provided at both ends of the transmission rocker 100 in the longitudinal direction. The mounting cover 60 is provided with a support 61. The support 61 is supported below the transmission rocker 100 and extends through the rotation hole 101, allowing the transmission rocker 100 to swing about the axis of the support 61. The transmission hole 102 is provided near the upper driven tooth 103. This arrangement allows the transmission rocker 100 to swing at a relatively small angle to drive the locking member 70 to switch between the locked and unlocked positions.

[0068] like Figure 8 and Figure 9As shown, the locking member 70 is located below the mounting cover 60 and rotates to switch between a locked and unlocked position. The mounting cover 60 is provided with an arcuate guide slot 62. The transmission post 71 extends from bottom to top through the arcuate guide slot 62 and into the transmission hole 102. The transmission hole 102 is a long slot extending along the length of the transmission rocker 100.

[0069] In this embodiment, the locking member 70 is a locking cover. Of course, in an embodiment not shown in the figures, the locking member can also be a caliper.

[0070] like Figure 8 As shown, the cover assembly further includes a face cover 130 disposed above the mounting cover 60 .
