It should be understood that the embodiments are provided so that the present application will be thorough and complete, and to fully convey the concept of the exemplary embodiments to those of ordinary skill in the art.

[0097] The present application provides a kind of cooking utensil. Cooking utensil mainly includes boiler body 100 and cover body 200, cover body 200 is set in the upper of boiler body 100 open and close. Optionally, one or more pot 140 is arranged in boiler body 100.

[0098] According to the cooking utensil of the present application, the setting of multiple pot 140 allows users to perform multiple cooking operations simultaneously, improves cooking efficiency and shortens cooking time. The cooking utensil in the present application can be used as an electric rice cooker and / or an electric pressure cooker to meet the diversified cooking needs. In addition to the function of cooking rice, it can also have functions such as cooking porridge, boiling soup, steaming vegetables and stewing meat.

[0099] The following will be combined with the drawings to describe the present application in detail. Figures 1 to 12The cooking appliance according to the present invention is described in detail.

[0100] Take the double pot as an example. Figure 1 As shown, the pot body 100 has two cylindrical pot storage sections. The pot 140 is fixedly mounted in the pot storage section, or can be freely placed in or removed from the pot storage section to facilitate cleaning of the pot 140. The pot 140 is typically made of metal and has a circular opening on its upper surface for holding ingredients to be heated, such as rice or soup. The pot body 100 also includes a pot 140 heating device and a control device. The pot 140 heating device can be located at the bottom of the pot 140 to heat the food in the pot 140, and the user can control the cooking operation of the cooking appliance through the control device. Optionally, the pot 140 heating device is configured as two independent heater components, with the two heaters being arranged corresponding to the two pots 140. The two heaters can operate independently or simultaneously, allowing the double pot cooking appliance to perform two or the same cooking functions.

[0101] The pot body 100 may include a housing 110 and a base 120 located at the lower side of the housing 110. The lower end of the housing 110 may be connected to the base 120 by any suitable means such as snap connection, plug connection, or fastening connection with fasteners such as screws.

[0102] Optionally, a middle plate 130 is provided at the upper end of the pot body 100. Specifically, the middle plate 130 is connected to the upper end of the outer shell 110. The upper end of the outer shell 110 can be connected to the middle plate 130 by any suitable means, such as snap-fitting, plug-in connection, or fastening with fasteners such as screws. Optionally, the middle plate 130 and the base 120 can be connected. For example, the middle plate 130 can be provided with a downwardly extending support column, and the base 120 can be provided with an upwardly extending hollow screw column. The screw can be inserted from the underside of the screw column and partially exit from the top of the screw column to be tightened to the support column.

[0103] The cover 200 has a shape that basically corresponds to the pot body 100. Correspondingly, the two covers 200 are arranged corresponding to the two inner pots 140. The cover 200 is arranged on the pot body 100 in an openable and closable manner. Specifically, it is pivotally connected to the pot body 100 by a pivot shaft and can freely pivot between a closed position and an open position relative to the pot body 100 around a pivot axis where the pivot shaft is located, so as to facilitate closing and opening the pot body 100. When the cover 200 is closed on the pot body 100, it covers the inner pot 140 and forms a cooking space between it and the inner pot 140. Optionally, the two covers 200 can be opened and closed independently, or they can be integrated to open and close simultaneously. It can be understood that when the two covers 200 are closed with the two inner pots 140, two independent and relatively sealed cooking spaces are formed.

[0104] likeFigures 2 to 7 As shown, the cover body 200 includes a face cover 210, a lining cover 220, and a detachable cover. Various functional components for sensing and controlling the working state of the cooking utensil, such as sensors, etc., are centrally installed between the face cover 210 and the lining cover 220. The detachable cover is located at the innermost side of the cover body 200 and is arranged below the lining cover 220. The detachable cover is used to face the cooking space, i.e., when the cover body 200 is covered on the pot body 100, the detachable cover is located directly above the cooking space.

[0105] It should be noted that the directional terms used herein in describing various components, parts, etc. of the pot body 100, such as "upper", "lower", "upper side", "lower side", "upward", "downward", "upwardly", "downwardly", etc. are relative to the pot body 100 in a horizontal placement and upright state. If there is no other limitation, "in" in the directional terms "inward", "outward", "inwardly", "outwardly", "inner side", "outer side", etc. means close to the center of the pot body 100, and "out" means away from the center of the pot body 100.

[0106] With reference to Figures 2 to 7 The cover body 200 is provided with a button 300 and a connecting rod 400. The button 300 is rotatable relative to the cover body 200 about a first rotation shaft 310 to move between an initial position and a pressing position. The connecting rod 400 is rotatable relative to the cover body 200 about a second rotation shaft 410, and the connecting rod 400 has a first end portion 401 and a second end portion 402 opposite along the length direction thereof, the first end portion 401 is in contact with the button 300 to enable the connecting rod 400 to move with the movement of the button 300. In the state that the cover body 200 is covered on the pot body 100, the second end portion 402 is in clamping connection with the pot body 100, and when the button 300 moves from the initial position to the pressing position, the connecting rod 400 rotates about the second rotation shaft 410 and the second end portion 402 is disengaged from the clamping connection with the pot body 100. In the present scheme, the button 300 rotates about the first rotation shaft 310 and the connecting rod 400 rotates about the second rotation shaft 410, so that the user can easily realize the cover opening operation by pressing or rotating the button 300 with fingers. The button 300 realizes the guidance in the action process through the first rotation shaft 310, without the need to provide other guiding structures on the cover body 200, which reduces the risk of button 300 jamming, not only improves the smoothness of operation, but also enhances the reliability of the structure. The connecting rod 400 can be flexibly clamped or disengaged with the pot body 100. The mechanical linkage mechanism of the button 300 and the connecting rod 400 not only improves the overall efficiency of the system, but also ensures the accuracy and consistency of the cover opening action.

[0107] In the present utility model, the button 300 is installed to the face cover 210 through the first rotation shaft 310. The connecting rod 400 is installed to the lining cover 220 through the second rotation shaft 410.

[0108] In some embodiments of the utility model, the button 300 includes a pivoting portion 320 and a pressing portion 330 connected to each other. The pivoting portion 320 is connected to the cover 200 through the first pivot shaft 310, and the button 300 can rotate around the pivot shaft. The pressing portion 330 can be pressed downward to disengage the second end portion 402 from the pot body 100. When the button 300 is in the initial position, the pressing portion 330 is in the state of no force, and at this time, the second end portion 402 is kept in engagement with the pot body 100, ensuring the safety of the cooking appliance during normal use.

[0109] In the state where the button 300 is in the initial position, the upper surface of the pressing portion 330 is exposed to the upper surface of the cover 200. The upper surface of the pressing portion 330 is exposed to the upper surface of the cover 200, so that the user can intuitively see and easily touch the pressing portion 330, thereby easily completing the opening operation and improving the user experience.

[0110] In some embodiments of the utility model, the pressing portion 330 is adapted to contact the connecting rod 400. Alternatively, the pressing portion 330 is located above the connecting rod 400, and when the pressing portion 330 is pressed downward, the pressing portion 330 can directly act on the connecting rod 400.

[0111] Specifically, the first end portion 401 of the connecting rod 400 is located below the button 300. The part of the first end portion 401 in contact with the button 300 is configured as an arc surface or an inclined surface. The arc surface or the inclined surface can better adapt to the arc-shaped motion trajectory of the button 300 rotating around the first pivot shaft 310, ensuring that the contact with the connecting rod 400 is more stable during the rotation or pressing of the button 300. Thus, the precise mechanical linkage between the button 300 and the connecting rod 400 is realized, ensuring the accuracy and consistency of the opening operation.

[0112] The extension directions of the first pivot shaft 310 and the second pivot shaft 410 are substantially parallel. The parallelly arranged pivot shafts can ensure that the button 300 and the connecting rod 400 maintain a relatively stable posture and positional relationship during rotation, and effectively utilize the internal space of the cooking appliance.

[0113] Reference Figures 8 to 10In some embodiments of the utility model, the connecting rod 400 is structured as a rod with a bending part. Through the bending design, the stress can be dispersed to multiple points or areas when stressed, reducing the stress concentration of a single point, achieving the mechanical balance of the connecting rod 400 in the movement process, and reducing unnecessary stress and deformation. Specifically, the extension direction of the end away from the second end 402 of the first end 401 is different from the extension direction of the end away from the first end 401 of the second end 402. In the process of opening the cover of the cooking utensil, the connecting rod 400 needs to be stressed and rotated, and the different extension directions can better adapt to these movement requirements, ensuring that the connecting rod 400 can smoothly realize the clamping and unclamping with the pot body 100.

[0114] Optionally, the second rotating shaft 410 is formed on the connecting rod 400. Specifically, the second rotating shaft 410 is integrally formed with the body part 430. The second rotating shaft 410 is located between the first end 401 and the second end 402. A reinforcing rib 420 is arranged between the first end 401 and the second rotating shaft 410. The arrangement of the reinforcing rib 420 can further increase the strength of the connecting rod 400, preventing deformation or fracture when used for a long time or subjected to a large external force. When the first end 401 is stressed, it can be directly transmitted to the second rotating shaft 410 through the reinforcing rib 420, so that the connecting rod 400 rotates.

[0115] Exemplarily, the first end 401 of the connecting rod 400 is designed as an arc structure for contacting the button 300 and realizing force transmission. The second end 402 of the connecting rod 400 is designed as a straight rod extending downward for clamping with the clamping groove on the pot body 100. The reinforcing rib 420 is arranged between the first end 401 and the second end 402 to increase the overall strength of the connecting rod 400.

[0116] Referring to Figure 10 The connecting rod 400 with an arc surface can convert the downward force of the button 300 into a force F2 toward the shaft center and a force F3 perpendicular to F2 on the connecting rod 400, thereby realizing the opening effect of the cooking utensil. Since the direction of F2 has the reinforcing rib 420, the force can avoid bending the connecting rod, and the arc-shaped structure can effectively strengthen the strength of the connecting rod in the vertical direction.

[0117] In some embodiments of the utility model, the two reinforcing ribs 420 are oppositely and spacedly arranged along the extension direction of the second rotating shaft 410. That is, the two reinforcing ribs 420 are oppositely and spacedly arranged along the width direction of the body part 430 of the connecting rod 400, which can form a more stable support structure to prevent the connecting rod 400 from deforming or fracturing when used for a long time or subjected to a large force.

[0118] In some embodiments of the utility model, the clamping hook 600 is located on the moving track of the body part 430 during the opening and closing of the cover 200. That is, when the cover 200 is closed, the body part 430 of the connecting rod 400 will interfere with the clamping hook 600. In some examples, the body part 430 has a first guide surface 432, and during the closing of the cover 200 to the pot body 100, the clamping hook 600 is in contact with the first guide surface 432, and under the guidance of the first guide surface 432, the clamping hook 600 is connected with the connecting groove 431. In some examples, the clamping hook 600 has a second guide surface 601, and during the closing of the cover 200 to the pot body 100, the body part 430 is in contact with the second guide surface 601, and under the guidance of the second guide surface 601, the clamping hook 600 is connected with the connecting groove 431. Whether it is the setting of the first guide surface 432 or the setting of the second guide surface 601, it can make the clamping hook 600 smoothly enter the connecting groove 431 along the predetermined track during the closing of the cover 200 to the pot body 100, realizing quick and accurate clamping connection. The first guide surface 432 and the second guide surface 601 provide certain support and positioning effect during clamping, so that the connection between the clamping hook 600 and the connecting groove 431 is more stable. This stable connection helps to prevent the cover 200 from loosening or falling off accidentally during cooking, enhancing the structural stability of the cooking utensil.

[0119] Referring to Figure 12 In the utility model, the clamping hook 600 is connected to the middle plate 130. The second end part 402 of the clamping hook 600 extends from the gasket 220 to the middle plate 130.

[0120] In some embodiments of the utility model, the cooking utensil further comprises a first biasing member 510 connected to the first end part 401, and the first biasing member 510 is used to apply a biasing force to the connecting rod 400 towards the button 300. Optionally, the type of the first biasing member 510 includes but is not limited to a spring, an elastic sheet. The first biasing member 510 can ensure that the connecting rod 400 automatically returns to the clamping position when not subjected to external force, so that the clamping connection between the connecting rod 400 and the pot body 100 is more stable and reliable, and it can also ensure that the button 300 automatically returns to the initial position. For example, when the cover 200 is closed, the body part 430 of the connecting rod 400 is in contact with the clamping hook 600, rotates under the guidance of the first guide surface 432, and after rotating to a certain angle, the clamping hook 600 is misaligned with the first guide surface 432, at which time the first biasing member 510 pulls the connecting rod 400 back, and under the guidance of the second guide surface 601, the connecting rod 400 and the clamping hook 600 are smoothly clamped. The first biasing member 510 enables the connecting rod 400 to automatically reset, improving the user's experience.
