[0055] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.

Furthermore, the terms "first," "second," and "third" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0057] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "joining" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0058] Furthermore, the technical features involved in the different embodiments of this utility model described below can be combined with each other as long as they do not conflict with each other.

[0059] Steam emitted from the steam vent easily condenses into water droplets upon cooling and adheres to the lid. As cooking progresses, due to the lack of drainage measures on the lid and the absence of steam cooling water flow control and guidance, water on the lid, if not cleaned promptly, can easily flow onto the countertop or splash when the user opens the lid, resulting in a poor user experience. Furthermore, the lack of a protective structure to prevent water from corroding the display panel makes it difficult for users to prevent water from seeping into the display panel. Water accumulates at the edge of the display lid and gradually seeps into the display panel, affecting its normal display, causing short circuits and other safety issues, posing a safety hazard and affecting product reliability.

[0060] To address this issue, the present invention provides a noodle cover and cooking utensil to solve the problem that steam emitted from the steam vent of the current noodle cover easily condenses into water droplets and accumulates on the noodle cover, affecting the user experience and even posing safety hazards.

[0061] The following combination Figures 1-10 , describing the embodiments of the present utility model.

[0062] According to an embodiment of the present invention, in one aspect, a lid is provided for covering the pot body of a cooking utensil, such as... Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, the cover includes: cover body 1, steam port 2, and flow channel.

[0063] The lid body 1 has a mounting surface 101; a steam port 2 is provided on the mounting surface 101, and the steam port 2 is used to discharge steam from the inner cavity of the cooking appliance to the outside; a guide channel is provided on the lid body 1 and extends toward the outer edge of the lid body 1, and is used to guide the water condensed by the steam. The water inlet position 301 of the guide channel is located on the mounting surface 101, and the water inlet position 301 is lower than the position of the steam port 2.

[0064] In the above embodiment, the water inlet position 301 is set in the guide channel on the mounting surface 101 of the cover body 1, and the water inlet position 301 is lower than the position of the steam port 2. The guide channel is used to guide the water that condenses and gathers after the steam discharged from the steam port 2 is cooled to the outer edge of the cover body 1, thereby draining the water on the cover in time. This solves the problem that the steam discharged from the steam port 2 of the cover is easy to condense into water droplets and gather on the cover, which affects the user experience and even poses a safety hazard.

[0065] Specifically, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, the mounting surface 101 of the lid body 1 is the top surface of the overall lid structure. When the lid is fully covered with the pot of the cooking appliance, the steam vent 2 is used to connect the inner cavity of the cooking appliance with the outside. The high-temperature and high-pressure steam generated in the inner cavity of the cooking appliance is discharged to the outside through the steam vent 2. As the steam is discharged from the steam vent 2, water droplets will condense around the steam vent 2, that is, on the mounting surface where the steam vent 2 is located, and gather into a water flow. The water inlet position 301 of the guide channel is lower than the position of the steam vent 2. The water flow will flow to the water inlet position 301 and be discharged to the outer edge of the lid body 1 in a timely manner through the guide channel. Users do not need to frequently clean the water accumulated on the lid manually, thereby improving the user experience.

[0066] Furthermore, this embodiment does not restrict the structural form of the flow channel, as long as the water inlet position 301 of the flow channel is located on the mounting surface 101 and can directly receive the water flow.

[0067] In one implementation, the flow channel is designed as a pipe structure, with the pipe opening located on the mounting surface 101 as the water inlet position 301, and the pipe body extending outward from the outer edge of the cover body 1.

[0068] In another embodiment, the flow channel is configured as a groove structure on the mounting surface 101, with the groove opening serving as the water inlet position 301, and at least a portion of the groove structure extending outward from the outer edge of the cover body 1.

[0069] In some embodiments, as Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, the flow channel includes: a first flow guiding structure 3 and a second flow guiding structure 4.

[0070] The first flow guiding structure 3 is located on the mounting surface 101, and the water inlet position 301 is located on the first flow guiding structure 3; the second flow guiding structure 4 is connected to the first flow guiding structure 3 and extends towards the outer edge of the cover body 1. The second flow guiding structure 4 is used to receive the water from the first flow guiding structure 3 and guide the water to the outside.

[0071] In the above embodiment, the first guide structure 3 is located on the mounting surface 101 and the water inlet position 301 is set on the first guide structure 3 so as to receive the water flow that is gathered near the steam port 2 located on the mounting surface 101; the second guide structure 4 facilitates the water of the first guide structure 3 to be guided to the outside for discharge.

[0072] Specifically, the first flow guiding structure 3 is provided on the mounting surface 101, and can be a groove structure integrally formed on the mounting surface 101 or a mounting part with a groove installed on the mounting surface 101; the second flow guiding structure 4 is connected to the outlet of the first flow guiding structure 3, and its extension toward the outer edge of the cover body 1 can directly discharge water from the cover.

[0073] Furthermore, this embodiment does not limit the structural form of the first flow guiding structure 3. It can be set as a groove structure with multiple grooves extending radially from the steam port 2 to the outer edge of the cover body 1, or as an annular groove structure on the outer periphery of the steam port 2.

[0074] Furthermore, this embodiment does not limit the structural form of the second flow guiding structure 4. It can be set as multiple groove structures located on the side wall of the cover body 1, which are connected to the groove structure of the first flow guiding structure 3 that extends radially, or it can be set as a pipe structure that communicates with the first flow guiding structure 3.

[0075] In some embodiments, as Figure 1 As shown, the first flow guiding structure 3 is a ring structure and is located on the outer periphery of the steam port 2; the cover also includes a display panel 5, which is located on the mounting surface 101 and on the outside of the first flow guiding structure 3.

[0076] In the above embodiment, the first flow guiding structure 3 is set as an annular structure located on the outer periphery of the steam port 2, so that the water condensed on the outer periphery of the steam port 2 can flow into the first flow guiding structure 3, and the water around the steam port 2 can be fully collected; the display panel 5 is located on the outside of the first flow guiding structure 3 to prevent water from seeping into the display panel 5 when it flows into the first flow guiding structure 3, and to protect the internal circuit of the display panel 5.

[0077] Specifically, in Figure 1 From the perspective of the view, the left part is the display panel 5 of the faceplate, and the semi-circular ring structure on the right is the first flow guiding structure 3, which surrounds the steam port 2 which is in the shape of a rounded rectangle. The water condensed around the steam port 2 flows towards the first flow guiding structure 3 and then flows in the direction of the arrow in the figure, and flows into the second flow guiding structure 4 and is discharged to the outside.

[0078] Furthermore, to facilitate the flow of water around the steam inlet 2 into the circumferential first guide structure 3, the mounting surface 101 corresponding to the inner side of the first guide structure 3 can be designed with a slight bulge at the central steam inlet 2 position. Alternatively, the mounting surface 101 can be designed to be tilted, so that the display panel 5 is in a high position and the first guide structure 3 is in a low position, so that water flows towards the first guide structure 3 under the action of gravity to protect the display panel 5.

[0079] Furthermore, the first flow guide structure 3 in the form of a ring can adapt to cooking utensils of different shapes. The first flow guide structure 3 of corresponding shapes can be designed on the lids of different cooking utensils to improve versatility.

[0080] In some embodiments, as Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 As shown, the first flow guiding structure 3 includes: a flow guiding groove 302, which is formed by at least a portion of the mounting surface 101 being recessed inward; the flow guiding groove 302 is provided with a drain outlet 3021, which is connected to the second flow guiding structure 4.

[0081] In the above embodiment, the flow guide groove 302 is integrally formed on the mounting surface 101, which is simple in structure and easy to manufacture and process the cover. At the same time, the flow guide groove 302 realizes the collection of water condensed around the steam port 2 and the drainage operation of further guiding the water to the second flow guide structure 4.

[0082] Specifically, the flow guide groove 302 is formed by at least a portion of the mounting surface 101 being recessed inward, and the entire flow guide groove 302 is located at the lower part of the mounting surface 101; the location of the groove opening of the flow guide groove 302 is the water inlet position 301 of the flow guide channel. In this embodiment, a chamfer is provided on the top groove wall of the flow guide groove 302, i.e., the water inlet position 301, to ensure that the water inlet position 301 is lower than the location of the steam port 2 on the mounting surface 101, i.e., as shown... Figure 3 , Figure 4 As shown, this improves the smoothness of water flow around steam inlet 2.

[0083] Furthermore, an inclined bottom is provided in the flow guide groove 302, that is, the bottom of the flow guide groove 302 is inclined downward in the direction of the drain outlet 3021. This can accelerate the water flow speed inside the flow guide groove 302 under the action of gravity, and accelerate the water to flow and drain into the second flow guide structure 4.

[0084] In some embodiments, as Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 9 As shown, the first flow guiding structure 3 also includes: a flow guiding component 303, which is configured to conform to the flow guiding groove 302 and has a flow channel 3031. The flow guiding component 303 can be detachably installed in the flow guiding groove 302. The flow guiding component 303 has a through hole 3032, which is configured to correspond to the position of the drain outlet 3021.

[0085] In the above embodiment, the guide member 303 with flow channel 3031 is used as the drainage channel of the first guide structure 3. The guide member 303 is detachably installed in the guide groove 302 so as to facilitate the disassembly and cleaning of the guide member 303. The through hole 3032 is set in a corresponding position to the drain port 3021 so as to facilitate drainage.

[0086] Specifically, when cooking rice in a rice cooker or similar appliance, the steam emitted mixes with rice paste. As the steam condenses and flows out, some impurities from the rice paste accumulate in its flow path. Therefore, the guide groove 302 serves as the mounting location for the guide component 303, which is then detachably installed therein. The condensed steam flows directly into the flow channel 3031 of the guide component 303. Once impurities accumulate in the flow channel 3031, the guide component 303 can be removed for cleaning.

[0087] Furthermore, the through hole 3032 of the guide member 303 has a diameter similar to the opening diameter of the drain port 3021 of the guide groove 302. When the guide member 303 is embedded in the guide groove 302, the through hole 3032 and the drain port 3021 are positioned opposite each other.

[0088] Furthermore, the flow guide 303, using a silicone or plastic structure, is embedded in the flow guide groove 302 with an interference fit, i.e. Figure 2 , Figure 9 As shown.

[0089] Furthermore, the condensed water around the steam inlet 2 flows backward along the guide member 303 in the first guide structure 3. Figure 1 The flow proceeds in the direction of the middle arrow and converges at the through-hole 3032. It then flows through the drain outlet 3021 of the guide groove 302 to the second guide structure 4, where it is discharged to the outside. Figure 4 As shown.

[0090] Furthermore, such as Figure 10 As shown, a filter screen 6 is provided at the through hole 3032 to prevent debris from clogging the second flow guiding structure 4.

[0091] In some embodiments, as Figure 6 , Figure 7 , Figure 8 As shown, the flow channel 3031 is provided with a flow guiding rib 3033, which is located on the bottom wall of the flow guiding groove 302 and extends along the direction of the flow channel 3031.

[0092] In the above embodiment, the water in the flow channel 3031 is diverted by the diversion rib 3033 provided on the bottom wall of the flow channel 3031, thereby further improving the smoothness of drainage.

[0093] Specifically, the guide element 303 and the flow channel 3031 are in a semi-circular ring structure, and the flow guiding ribs 3033 are distributed in a semi-circular ring along the direction of the flow channel 3031.

[0094] In some embodiments, as Figure 2 , Figure 4 As shown, the first flow guiding structure 3 is provided with a drain nozzle 304, and the second flow guiding structure 4 is provided with a drain pipe, which is connected to the drain nozzle 304.

[0095] In the above embodiment, the first flow guiding structure 3 is connected to the second flow guiding structure 4, which is configured as a drain pipe, through the drain nozzle 304, thereby guiding the water of the first flow guiding structure 3 to the second flow guiding structure 4 and discharging it to the outside.

[0096] Specifically, the first flow guiding structure 3 is located on the mounting surface 101, and the drain nozzle 304 is located below the mounting surface 101 and extends away from the mounting surface 101, and is connected to the drain outlet 3021 of the flow guiding groove 302; the second flow guiding structure 4, which is set as a drain pipe, has its water inlet section located inside the cover body 1. As the drain pipe extends to the outer edge of the cover body 1, the water outlet section of the drain pipe extends out of the cover body 1 and outwards.

[0097] In some embodiments, as Figure 2 , Figure 4 As shown, the drain nozzle 304 is provided with a snap-fit ​​part 3041, and the inner wall of the drain pipe is interference-fitted with the snap-fit ​​part 3041.

[0098] In the above embodiment, the inner wall of the drain pipe is press-fitted with the snap-fit ​​portion 3041 of the drain nozzle 304, thereby stably connecting the second flow guiding structure 4 of the drain pipe to the first flow guiding structure 3, so that the first flow guiding structure 3 and the second flow guiding structure 4 are connected for flow guiding.

[0099] Specifically, the snap-fit ​​part 3041 is designed as a barb structure, which is hung on the inner wall of the drain pipe and subjected to an interference fit to connect the second flow guiding structure 4 to the first flow guiding structure 3.

[0100] Furthermore, as an alternative implementation, the drain pipe and the drain nozzle 304 can be connected by snap-fit, clamp and screw, etc.

[0101] According to an embodiment of the present invention, another aspect provides a cooking utensil, including: a pot body and a lid as described in the above embodiment.

[0102] The pot body is equipped with a water receiving box; the flow channel of the lid is connected to the water receiving box.

[0103] In the above embodiments, a water receiving box is provided on the pot body to receive water discharged from the guide channel, which avoids water spillage and increases the user's cleaning burden, and further improves the user experience.

[0104] Specifically, the water receiving box is located on the side of the pot body and is connected to the second guide structure 4 in the guide channel on the cover. The steam discharged from the steam port 2 condenses and gathers into water after encountering cold. The water flows through the water inlet 301 to the first guide structure 3, and after being guided by the second guide structure 4, it flows into the water receiving box for water collection.

[0105] In some embodiments, the cooking appliance is a rice cooker.

[0106] Of course, cooking appliances can also be set as electric pressure cookers, electric steamers, electric slow cookers, electric hot pots, etc.

[0107] Although embodiments of the present invention have been described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, those skilled in the art can make various modifications and variations without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention, and such modifications and variations all fall within the scope defined by this application.
