[0031] In the utility model, pot cover assembly 1 is provided with inner cover 20 and outer cover 10, and the outer cover 10 is the upper structure of pot cover assembly 1, and is buckled on the upper side of the inner cover 20, which is the side in contact with the user, and the inner cover 20 is in contact with the pot body 2, and the double-layer structure of the buckled inner cover 20 and the outer cover 10 is arranged, and a gap is arranged between the outer cover 10 and the inner cover 20, so as to reduce the temperature of the outer cover 10 during use and prevent the user from being scalded.

[0032] To ensure the sealing property of pot cover assembly 1 and prevent steam leakage during use, compared with the prior art in which only a sealing ring is arranged between the inner cover 20 and the pot body 2, the sealing assembly 30 includes the first sealing portion 31 arranged between the inner cover 20 and the pot body 2 and the second sealing portion 32 arranged between the inner cover 20 and the outer cover 10, which greatly improves the sealing performance of pot cover assembly 1, effectively prevents steam leakage during cooking, and ensures the cooking effect. The double-sealing design enables pot cover assembly 1 to maintain good sealing property in different use environments, greatly prolongs the service life of pot cover assembly 1. Meanwhile, the outer cover 10 and the inner cover 20 form a closed heat insulation chamber for heat insulation, further reducing the possibility of the outer cover 10 scalding the user.

[0033] The second sealing portion 32 is arranged on the outer edge between the outer cover 10 and the inner cover 20, and the heat insulation chamber formed by the outer cover 10 and the inner cover 20 is large enough to insulate heat and prevent steam leakage.

[0034] As an optional embodiment, a slot 21 is arranged on the inner cover 20, and the second sealing portion 32 passes through the slot 21 and abuts against the outer cover 10.

[0035] Specifically, to further ensure the sealing effect of the second sealing part 32, the second sealing part 32 is tightly abutted with the inner cover 20 and the outer cover 10. The slot 21 on the inner cover 20 is used for the second sealing part 32 to pass through. In other documents, the slot 21 can also be described as a through slot, and the name should not be limited.

Specifically, the connecting part 33 is arranged to connect the second sealing part 32 and the first sealing part 31, and the size of the connecting part 33 is greater than the size of the slot 21, so that the connecting part 33 can prevent the first sealing part 31 from moving upwards and achieve limiting, and the limiting structure 321 of the second sealing part 32 cooperates to achieve the relative fixation of the sealing assembly 30. Meanwhile, the first convex step 22 protrudes towards the outer cover 10 to form a groove for placing and limiting the connecting part 33. The first convex step 22 of the utility model is an annular placing groove arranged around the inner cover 20. Through the cooperation of the first convex step 22 and the connecting part 33, when the pot cover assembly 1 is closed on the pot body 2, the first sealing part 31 abuts against the pot body 2, so that the connecting part 33 abuts against the bottom surface of the first convex step 22. This arrangement also makes the connection between the first sealing part 31 and the pot body 2 more secure, thereby ensuring the sealing performance.

[0039] In the utility model, the sealing assembly 30 is integrally formed, that is, the first sealing part 31, the second sealing part 32 and the connecting part 33 are integrally formed, and the limiting structure 321 is the body structure of the second sealing part 32.

[0042] In some optional embodiments of the first aspect of the utility model, the inner cover 20 is provided with a second convex step 23 extending outwardly, and the lower end of the outer cover 10 abuts against the outer edge of the second convex step 23. Specifically, the second convex step 23 is arranged on the inner cover 20 and extends in the opposite direction of the buckle with the pot body 2, that is, the lower part of the inner cover 20 extends outwardly. It should be noted that the inner cover 20 and the outer cover 10 both comprise a main body arranged on the upper end of the pot body and a lower part arranged around the main body for buckling, and the second convex step 23 herein is the lower part extending outwardly.

[0043] The second convex step 23 is arranged to form a gap between the inner cover 20 and the outer cover, so as to form a heat insulation space under the action of the second sealing part 32. Meanwhile, the lower end of the outer cover 10 abuts against the outer edge of the second convex step 23, which facilitates the disassembly of the outer cover 10 and the inner cover 20 and facilitates the subsequent cleaning of the pot cover assembly 1 and the like.

[0044] The fixing mode of the inner cover 20 and the outer cover 10 in the utility model is to adopt a snap-fit arrangement. Specifically, a first snap-fit structure 41 is arranged on the outer wall of the inner cover 20, and a second snap-fit structure 42 that is snap-fitted with the first snap-fit structure 41 is arranged at the corresponding position of the outer cover 10. The first snap-fit structure 41 and the second snap-fit structure 42 can ensure that the inner cover 20 and the outer cover 10 are tightly connected and will not be loose or separated during use. Specifically, the first snap-fit structure 41 and the second snap-fit structure 42 can be a protrusion and a groove, or a wedge-shaped protrusion and a wedge-shaped groove, or a rotating buckle and a socket. The first snap-fit structure 41 and the second snap-fit structure 42 are preferably a rotating buckle snap-fit structure, which has high snap-fit force and stability. After snap-fitting, the rotating buckle is not easy to loosen, which can effectively prevent the outer cover 10 from being accidentally opened. This structure is suitable for cooking utensils that require high sealing performance. Furthermore, in order to facilitate the snap-fitting of the first snap-fit structure 41 and the second snap-fit structure 42, the pot cover assembly 1 is further provided with a positioning member 12 for positioning the first snap-fit structure 41 and / or the second snap-fit structure 42. For example, the positioning member 12 can be a mark arranged on the outer surface of the outer cover 10 to form the positioning member 12, or the positioning member 12 can be a positioning baffle arranged inside the outer cover 10 and corresponding to the position of the second snap-fit structure 42, or the positioning member 12 can be a positioning mark arranged on the inner cover 20 and corresponding to the first snap-fit structure 41.
