Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of kitchen appliances, and particularly relates to a pot cover assembly and a cooking utensil. Background Art
[0002] The display panel is a crucial component of any cooking appliance, displaying information such as the cooking program and cooking countdown. Users can also use the panel to control the appliance, such as selecting cooking functions. To enhance the user experience and facilitate viewing and operation, many cooking appliances feature a display panel on the lid, allowing users to view the information displayed on the panel through the top surface of the lid.
[0003] However, in addition to the display panel assembly, the pot lid is also equipped with many functional components. For example, for cooking utensils with a pivoting connection between the pot lid and the pot body, a lid opening button is provided at the front end of the top surface of the pot lid to control the unlocking of the pot lid and the pot body; an exhaust chamber is also constructed inside the pot lid. Due to the placement of these functional components, the space available for arranging the display panel assembly is greatly reduced. Therefore, in the prior art, the display panel assembly can only be placed in the relatively narrow area between the exhaust chamber and the lid opening button. This results in the display panel being designed to be smaller in size and display area, and the information and functions displayed on the display panel are also limited. In addition, with the development of intelligent cooking utensils, more and more functional components such as wireless modules are being added. Many functional components are installed on the display panel assembly, which further compresses the display area of the display panel.
[0004] In addition, since the installation area of the display panel is close to the cover opening button, there is a possibility of interference between the display panel assembly and the cover opening button, which causes the cover opening button to be unable to move smoothly. Users will feel a noticeable sticking feeling when using it, affecting product quality and user experience. Utility Model Content

[0011] The drying chamber includes a first drying chamber and a second drying chamber. At least part of the first drying chamber is located above the exhaust chamber. The second drying chamber is staggered with the exhaust chamber, and the installation area is located in the second drying chamber.
[0012] The cavity wall of the second drying cavity is provided with a wire passing port, the bottom wall of the display board box is provided with a second avoidance groove, and a wire pressing piece is provided in the second avoidance groove.
[0013] The pot cover assembly also includes a display panel located above the cover body. An ITO film is provided between the display panel and the display panel assembly, and the ITO film is arranged corresponding to the display area.
[0014] The cover body also includes a steam valve located above the exhaust chamber, and a third avoidance groove is provided on the side of the second display portion facing the steam valve so that the second display portion is located on the periphery of a partial area of the steam valve.
[0015] The cover body has a central axis passing through the opening and closing end and the connecting end. The cover opening operating member and the steam valve are located on the central axis, and the display panel assembly is symmetrically arranged about the central axis.
[0016] The cover body has a center line extending left and right, which divides the cover body into a front area and a rear area. The connecting end is located in the rear area, the opening and closing end is located in the front area, and the exhaust chamber is located in the rear area.
[0017] The utility model also discloses a cooking utensil, comprising a pot body and the pot cover assembly. The top surface of the cover body is provided with a mounting groove. The cooking utensil also comprises a display panel, which is provided in the mounting groove.
[0018] Due to the adoption of the above technical solution, the beneficial effects achieved by the utility model are as follows:
[0019] 1. In the present invention, the lid opening operating member is located on the top surface of the lid body. The top surface of the lid body is provided with an escape notch for avoiding the lid opening operating member. An exhaust chamber is also provided inside the lid body. The display panel assembly is partially located in the space between the side of the exhaust chamber and the escape notch, and partially extends above the exhaust chamber. Specifically, the exhaust chamber is located inside the lid body and protrudes upward, but has an accommodating gap between it and the top surface of the lid body, and the second display portion is located in the accommodating gap. As a result, the installation position and size of the display panel assembly do not have to be strictly limited by the space between the exhaust chamber and the escape notch. Instead, the display panel assembly can be extended a certain distance in the direction of the exhaust chamber by partially overlapping with the exhaust chamber. This increases the area of the display panel assembly, thereby increasing the display area and improving the display effect. This allows the functions of the cooking appliance and cooking information to be more comprehensively displayed, thereby improving the user experience.
[0020] On the other hand, while ensuring the area of the display panel assembly, the display panel assembly can also be moved further away from the cover operating member, thereby reducing the risk of interference between the cover opening operating member and the display panel assembly, helping to ensure smooth movement of the cover opening operating member and improve product quality and operating feel.
[0021] 2. As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the cover body has an upwardly raised matching rib inside, and the matching rib forms an exhaust chamber. There is an accommodating gap between the top of the matching rib and the top surface of the cover body for accommodating the second display part, and the lower surface of the second display part is provided with a first avoidance groove that is recessed upward. The provision of the accommodating gap leaves space for the second display part, thereby rationally utilizing the internal space of the cover body, making the structure more compact, and effectively increasing the area of the display panel assembly. On the one hand, the first avoidance groove on the lower side of the second display part can form an avoidance for the matching rib, further preventing the matching rib from interfering with the display panel assembly, and ensuring reliable assembly. On the other hand, it can also prevent the second display part from contacting the matching rib after assembly is completed. Since the matching rib forms an exhaust chamber, the temperature of the matching rib will increase during the exhaust process, thereby preventing heat from being transferred to the second display part through contact, improving the heat dissipation effect above the matching rib, and preventing the second display part from overheating.
[0022] 3. As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, a display panel assembly includes a display panel box and a display panel located within the display panel box. The display panel box has an installation cavity corresponding to the first display portion and a drying cavity corresponding to the second display portion. The display panel has a display area and an installation cavity, wherein the display area is located within the installation cavity, and the installation cavity is located within the drying cavity. The display panel box has two chambers, wherein the drying cavity is located above the exhaust cavity, and the installation cavity is located between the exhaust cavity and the avoidance notch. The display area of the display panel is located within the installation cavity, and the installation cavity is located within the drying cavity. Because the installation cavity is relatively far from the exhaust cavity, heat and moisture vapor from the exhaust cavity are less likely to enter the installation cavity, thereby maintaining a low temperature and dryness within the installation cavity, preventing high temperatures from causing short circuits or other malfunctions in the light-emitting components of the display panel, and preventing moisture from forming mist in the display area, which could affect the display effect. The drying cavity is located above and closer to the exhaust cavity. Therefore, by providing a desiccant within the drying cavity, the drying cavity can also maintain a dry environment, preventing steam from leaking into the display panel during the exhaust process. In addition, the installation area is used for the installation and connection of circuits and functional components. It is located in the drying chamber, which can ensure the stability and reliability of the connection and avoid short circuits caused by water vapor corrosion.
[0023] 4. As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the wall of the second drying chamber is provided with a wire passage, and the bottom wall of the display panel box is provided with a second avoidance groove, within which a wire pressing member is disposed. The wire passage is provided for the wires to pass through to connect the display panel to the control unit. The second avoidance groove at the bottom of the display panel box can, on the one hand, avoid interference with the top of the exhaust chamber, and on the other hand, leave space for wiring, allowing the wires to be partially accommodated within the second avoidance groove, thereby preventing the wires from being squeezed and affecting connection reliability. The wire pressing rib can press the wires within the second avoidance groove, making wiring more regular and improving assembly efficiency.
[0024] 5. As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the cover further includes a steam valve located above the exhaust chamber. A third relief groove is provided on the side of the second display unit facing the steam valve, thereby positioning the second display unit peripherally around a portion of the steam valve. The third relief groove not only provides clearance for the steam valve, preventing interference between the display panel assembly and the steam valve, thereby improving structural compactness, but also reduces the impact of high-temperature gases exhausted from the steam valve on the display panel assembly. Furthermore, it further compacts the layout of the various components on the cover, enhancing the uniformity of the appearance, reducing the visual fragmentation caused by the distant spacing of the functional components, and improving the quality of the appearance.

[0042] like Figure 1 、 Figure 2As shown, a pot cover assembly includes a cover body 1 and a display panel assembly 2 arranged on the top surface of the cover body 1, the cover body 1 has an exhaust chamber 14 inside, the cover body 1 has a connecting end 16 rotatably connected to the pot body, and an opening and closing end 15 arranged opposite to the connecting end 16 and capable of locking with the pot body, the opening and closing end 15 is provided with a lid opening operating member 13, and the top surface of the cover body 1 is provided with an avoidance gap 12 at the opening and closing end 15 for accommodating the lid opening operating member 13, the display panel assembly 2 has a first display part 26 located between the side of the exhaust chamber 14 and the avoidance gap 12, and a second display part 27 located above the exhaust chamber 14.
[0043] It should be noted that the present invention does not limit the structure and operation of the cover opening operating member 13. In one embodiment, the cover opening operating member 13 is a cover opening button that can move in translation relative to the cover body 1. The user can control the cover opening operating member 13 by pressing the cover opening button. Specifically, the translation direction of the cover opening button can be vertical, that is, the user presses it downward to drive it, or horizontal, that is, the user presses it horizontally to drive it. In another embodiment, Figure 3 As shown, one end of the lid opening operating member 13 is rotatably connected to the lid body 1 so that it can rotate around the connection. During operation, the user can press one end of the lid opening operating member 13 to rotate it around the connection, thereby unlocking the pot lid and the pot body.
[0044] Specifically, the cover opening operating member 13 is located at the edge of the top surface of the cover body 1 .
[0045] In the present invention, a lid-opening operating member 13 is located on the top surface of the lid body 1. A clearance notch 12 is provided on the top surface of the lid body 1 to allow for the lid-opening operating member 13 to pass through. An exhaust chamber 14 is also provided within the lid body 1. The display panel assembly 2 is partially located within the space between the side of the exhaust chamber 14 and the clearance notch 12, and partially extends above the exhaust chamber 14. Specifically, the exhaust chamber 14 is located within the lid body 1 and protrudes upward, but a clearance 142 is formed between the exhaust chamber 1 and the top surface of the lid body 1. The second display portion 27 is located within the clearance 142. Consequently, the installation position and size of the display panel assembly 2 are no longer strictly restricted by the space between the exhaust chamber 14 and the clearance notch 12. Instead, the display panel assembly 2 can extend a certain distance toward the exhaust chamber 14 by partially overlapping the exhaust chamber 14. This increases the area of the display panel assembly 2, thereby increasing the display area 213 and improving the display quality. This allows for a more comprehensive display of the cooking appliance's functions and cooking information, enhancing the user experience.
[0046] On the other hand, while ensuring the area of the display panel assembly 2, the display panel assembly 2 can be further away from the cover operating member 13, thereby reducing the risk of interference between the cover opening operating member 13 and the display panel assembly 2, helping to ensure the smooth movement of the cover opening operating member 13 and improving product quality and operating feel. Figure 1 As shown, the display panel assembly 2 and the cover opening operating member 13 have a lateral avoidance area 17 .
[0047] Specifically, such as Figure 3 As shown, the cover body 1 includes a lining cover 19 and a surface cover 18 , and the surface cover 18 is provided with a corresponding avoidance notch 12 . The exhaust chamber 14 is provided on the lining cover 19 .
[0048] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, Figure 3 、 Figure 5 、 Figure 6 As shown, the inside of the cover body 1 has an upwardly protruding mating rib 191, which surrounds the exhaust chamber 14. There is an accommodating gap 142 between the top of the mating rib 191 and the top surface of the cover body 1 for accommodating the second display part 27, and the lower surface of the second display part 27 is provided with a first avoidance groove 23 that is recessed upward.
[0049] The provision of the accommodation gap 142 leaves room for the second display portion 27, thereby rationally utilizing the internal space of the cover body 1, making the structure more compact while effectively increasing the area of the display panel assembly 2. The first avoidance groove 23 on the lower side of the second display portion 27 can, on the one hand, provide a clearance for the mating rib 191, further preventing interference between the mating rib 191 and the display panel assembly 2, thereby ensuring reliable assembly. On the other hand, it can also prevent contact between the second display portion 27 and the mating rib 191 after assembly. Since the mating rib 191 forms the exhaust chamber 14, the temperature of the mating rib 191 will rise during the exhaust process, thereby preventing heat from being transferred to the second display portion 27 through contact, thereby improving the heat dissipation effect above the mating rib 191 and preventing excessive temperature rise in the second display portion 27.
[0050] It should be noted that the present invention does not limit the structure of the first display portion 26 and the second display portion 27. In one embodiment, the first display portion 26 and the second display portion 27 are both provided with lighting components so that the first display portion 26 and the second display portion 27 are both used for display, thereby increasing the area of the display region 213 and forming a large display region 213 on the top surface of the cover body 1 to improve the display effect.
[0051] In another embodiment, Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 4As shown, the display panel assembly 2 includes a display panel box 22 and a display panel 21 located in the display panel box 22. The display panel box 22 has an installation cavity 221 corresponding to the first display part 26 and a drying cavity 222 corresponding to the second display part 27. The display panel 21 has a display area 213 and an installation area 214. The display area 213 is located in the installation cavity 221, and the installation area 214 is located in the drying cavity 222.
[0052] In this embodiment, the display area 213 is located in the first display portion 26 and is equipped with lighting components. The second display portion 27 is the mounting area 214, which is not equipped with lighting components and is used to install various functional components and the wiring of the display panel 21. This relatively separates the mounting area 214 from the display area 213, allowing for a more centralized arrangement of lighting components in the display area 213 and optimizing the structural layout of the display panel 21.
[0053] The display panel box 22 has two chambers constructed inside, with a drying chamber 222 located above the exhaust chamber 14 and an installation chamber 221 located between the exhaust chamber 14 and the avoidance notch 12. The display area 213 of the display panel 21 is located within the installation chamber 221, while the installation area 214 is located within the drying chamber 222. Because the installation chamber 221 is farther from the exhaust chamber 14, heat and humid steam from the exhaust chamber 14 are less likely to enter the installation chamber 221. This ensures a low temperature and dryness within the installation chamber 221, preventing high temperatures from causing short circuits or other malfunctions in the light-emitting components of the display panel 21. It also prevents moisture from forming mist in the display area 213, which could affect the display effect. The drying chamber 222 is located above the exhaust chamber 14 and closer to it. Therefore, by placing a desiccant within the drying chamber 222, a similarly dry environment can be maintained within the drying chamber 222, preventing steam from leaking to the display panel 21 during the exhaust process. In addition, the installation area 214 is used for the installation and connection of circuits and functional components, and is located in the drying chamber 222, which can ensure the stability and reliability of the connection and avoid short circuits caused by water vapor corrosion.
[0054] Preferably, a separation rib is provided between the drying chamber 222 and the installation chamber 221 to relatively isolate the drying chamber 222 and the installation chamber 221 after the display panel 21 is installed.
[0055] Furthermore, if Figure 1 As shown, the drying chamber 222 includes a first drying chamber 2221 and a second drying chamber 2222. At least part of the first drying chamber 2221 is located above the exhaust chamber 14. The second drying chamber 2222 is offset from the exhaust chamber 14 in the upper and lower directions, and the installation area 214 is located in the second drying chamber 2222.
[0056] Preferably, a desiccant is provided in the first drying chamber 2221. Figure 1As shown, the first drying chamber 2221 is disposed vertically corresponding to the exhaust chamber 14. Therefore, during the exhaust process, to prevent moisture from entering the interior of the display panel box 22, a desiccant is disposed in the first drying chamber 2221. This can quickly eliminate any moisture that leaks into the first drying chamber, thereby ensuring dryness within the display panel box 22. The second drying chamber 2222 is offset vertically from the exhaust chamber 14, making it more difficult for moisture to enter. Furthermore, the second drying chamber 2222 is further from the wall of the exhaust chamber 14, making it more difficult for heat to transfer to the second drying chamber 2222. Therefore, a relatively low temperature can be maintained within the second drying chamber 2222. Placing the mounting area 214 of the display panel 21 there can reduce high-temperature damage.
[0057] like Figure 1 As shown, there are two second drying chambers 2222 located on both sides of the exhaust chamber 14 , and the first drying chamber 2221 is located between the two second drying chambers 2222 .
[0058] Specifically, such as Figure 4 As shown, the display panel 21 includes a main body 211 and a mounting rib 212 protruding laterally outward from the edge of the main body 211. The display area 213 is provided on the main body 211, and the mounting area 214 is provided on the mounting rib 212. Figure 4 As shown, there are two mounting ribs 212 , one of which is used to mount the wireless module 215 , and the other is used to set the cable array of the display panel 21 .
[0059] Furthermore, if Figure 1 、 Figure 6 As shown, a wire passing port 241 is provided on the wall of the second drying chamber 2222 , and a second avoidance groove 24 is provided on the bottom wall of the second drying chamber 2222 of the display panel box 22 , in which a wire pressing member 242 is provided.
[0060] Wire passage 241 allows wires to pass through to connect the display panel 21 to the control unit. A second relief groove 24 at the bottom of the display panel housing 22 prevents interference with the top of the exhaust chamber 14 while also providing space for wiring. The wires are partially contained within the relief groove 24, preventing them from being squeezed and affecting connection reliability. A wire-pressing rib compresses the wires within the relief groove 24, making wiring more organized and improving assembly efficiency.
[0061] Specifically, such as Figure 1 、 Figure 4 、 Figure 6 As shown, there are two second drying chambers 2222, wherein the wall of the drying chamber 222 where the line array of the display panel 21 is located is provided with a line opening 241. Correspondingly, the second avoidance groove 24 and the line pressing rib are also provided at the bottom of the second drying chamber 2222.
[0062] Preferably, if Figure 2As shown, the pot cover assembly further includes a display panel 11 located above the cover body 1 , and an ITO film 4 is provided between the display panel 11 and the display panel assembly 2 , and the ITO film 4 is provided corresponding to the display area 213 .
[0063] The display panel 11 also has a notch corresponding to the lid opening operating member 13. Light from the lighting element in the display area 213 is projected onto the display panel 11, allowing the user to see the information displayed on the display board 21 through the display panel 11. Preferably, the display panel 11 is a glass panel for good light transmission, and the glass panel constitutes part of the outer surface of the cooking appliance to enhance the quality of the cooking appliance.
[0064] The ITO film is a semiconductor material with high electrical conductivity, high visible light transmittance, high mechanical hardness and good chemical stability, which can further improve the display effect of the lighting components on the display panel 11 .
[0065] Preferably, if Figure 2 As shown, a button bracket 3 is further provided between the display board 21 and the display panel 11 so that the user can also directly operate the display panel 11, thereby realizing a centralized design of display and operation, which is more convenient for the user to use and more efficient in operation.
[0066] Preferably, the ITO film 4 is provided with logos corresponding to the lighting components of the display panel 21 and the respective buttons of the button bracket 3 , and the types of logos include but are not limited to text, patterns, numbers and the like.
[0067] The light in the display area 213 can be projected onto the display panel 11 through the ITO film 4 and be seen by the user, while the light in the installation area 214 is darker and there is no ITO film 4, so the internal installation structure is more difficult to be seen by the user, thus achieving a hidden design and improving the appearance.
[0068] In a preferred embodiment, Figure 1 、 Figure 6 As shown, the cover body 1 also includes a steam valve 141 located above the exhaust chamber 14 , and a third avoidance groove 25 is provided on the side of the second display portion 27 facing the steam valve 141 so that the second display portion 27 is located on the periphery of a partial area of the steam valve 141 .
[0069] The third avoidance groove 25 not only provides a clearance for the steam valve 141, preventing interference between the display panel assembly 2 and the steam valve 141, thereby improving the structural compactness, but also reduces the impact of high-temperature gas discharged from the steam valve 141 on the display panel assembly 2. Furthermore, it also makes the layout of the various components on the cover 1 more compact, improves the appearance uniformity, reduces the visual fragmentation caused by the distance between functional components, and improves the appearance quality.
[0070] Furthermore, if Figure 1 As shown, the cover body 1 has a central axis passing through the opening and closing end 15 and the connecting end 16, the cover opening operating member 13 and the steam valve 141 are located on the central axis, and the display panel assembly 2 is symmetrically arranged about the central axis.
[0071] The steam valve 141 , the display panel assembly 2 and the cover opening operating member 13 are all located on the central axis of the cover body 1 , making the structural arrangement of the top surface of the cover body 1 more beautiful, improving the user's visual experience, and making it convenient for the user to operate the display panel assembly 2 from the opening and closing end 15 .
[0072] Preferably, if Figure 1 As shown, the cover body 1 has a center line extending left and right, which divides the cover body 1 into a front area and a rear area. The connecting end 16 is located in the rear area, the opening and closing end 15 is located in the front area, and the exhaust chamber 14 is located in the rear area.
[0073] The lid opening member 13 is located in the front area, while the exhaust chamber 14 is located in the rear area. This tandem arrangement increases the horizontal distance between the two, allowing the exhaust position to be further away from the operating position of the lid opening member 13. This prevents users from being burned by high-temperature steam ejected from the exhaust chamber 14 when operating the lid opening member 13. Furthermore, this distance between the two increases the installation space between them, thereby increasing the area of the display panel assembly 2 and leaving more space for its installation, which helps improve the display effect.
[0074] The utility model also discloses a cooking utensil, comprising a pot body and the pot cover assembly. The top surface of the cover body 1 is provided with a mounting groove. The cooking utensil further comprises a display panel 11, which is provided in the mounting groove.
[0075] The present invention does not limit the location of the display panel assembly 2. In one embodiment, Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the display panel assembly 2 is mounted on the cooker lid, located on its top surface. Specifically, a mounting slot is provided on the top surface of the cooker lid, into which the display panel assembly 2 is secured. The display panel 11 is then mounted on the top surface of the cooker lid, covering the mounting slot and forming the top exterior surface of the cooker lid. This allows the user to view the displayed information and operate the cooker from above. The mounting slot serves to position the display panel 11.
[0076] In another embodiment, the display panel assembly 2 is mounted on the pot body. Specifically, a mounting slot can be provided on the front side of the pot body, and the display panel assembly 2 is mounted within the mounting slot. It should be understood that the front side of the pot body refers to the side facing the user when looking directly at the cooking appliance, thereby allowing the user to control the cooking appliance and view displayed information from the front.
[0077] Anything not described in this utility model can be achieved by adopting or drawing on existing technologies.
[0078] The various embodiments in this specification are described in a progressive manner, and the same or similar parts between the various embodiments can be referred to each other. Each embodiment focuses on the differences from other embodiments.
[0079] The above description is merely an embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Those skilled in the art will readily appreciate that various modifications and variations of the present invention are possible. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, or improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention are intended to be within the scope of the claims of the present invention.
