[0045] As shown in Figure 2 , Figure 3 A cooking utensil, comprising a pot body 1 and a pot cover 2, the pot body 1 comprises an outer cover 12 and a water collecting ring 11 located above the outer cover 12, the pot cover 2 is rotationally connected to the water collecting ring 11, and a damping structure is arranged at the connection between the pot cover 2 and the water collecting ring 11, the top of the outer cover 12 is provided with a fixed flange 121, and the pot body 1 further comprises a fixing piece 4 located inside the outer cover 12, the fixing piece 4 is located below the connection between the pot cover 2 and the water collecting ring 11, the fixing piece 4 is fixedly connected with the water collecting ring 11, and the fixing piece 4 and the water collecting ring 11 clampingly fix the fixed flange 121.

[0046] It should be noted that the specific type of the damping structure is not limited, for example, it can be a torsional spring, damper 115, etc., as long as it can provide damping force to the pot cover 2 during the cover closing movement, so that the pot cover 2 moves more smoothly.

[0047] In the utility model, the lower part of the connecting part of the water collecting ring 11 and the pot cover 2 is provided with a fixing part 4, and the fixing part 4 is fixedly connected with the water collecting ring 11 during assembly, and the two together clamps the fixed flange 121 at the top of the outer cover 12. When the connecting position of the water collecting ring 11 is subjected to an upward force and deforms upward, since the fixing part 4 is fixedly connected with the water collecting ring 11, the fixing part 4 will move upward together with the water collecting ring 11 to ensure that the relative position between the two does not change, and at the same time, since the two deform or move upward synchronously, the outer cover 12 is also driven to move upward, so that the relative position between the outer cover 12 and the water collecting ring 11 also remains fixed, and there is no relative movement between the two, so that the water collecting ring 11 and the outer cover 12 will not produce a large gap, ensuring the appearance quality and the connection stability between the two. In this way, the stability of the relative position between the water collecting ring 11 and the outer cover 12 is improved, the gap caused by the large deformation of the water collecting ring 11 relative to the outer cover 12 is alleviated, and the overall appearance and structural stability of the pot body 1 are ensured.

[0048] At the same time, the fixing part 4 can also be fixed with other components of the pot body 1, so that when the water collecting ring 11 tends to deform under stress, the fixing part 4 can form a pulling force on the water collecting ring 11 through its fixed position with the water collecting ring 11, thereby playing a role in hindering the deformation of the water collecting ring 11, so that the deformation amount of the water collecting ring 11 and the outer cover 12 is as small as possible, thereby reducing the position change amplitude and improving the overall structural stability.

[0049] As a preferred embodiment of the utility model, as shown in Figure 3 、 Figure 4 、 Figure 5 、 Figure 9 The water collecting ring 11 includes a top panel 111 and a fixed skirt 112 extending downward from the lower side of the top panel 111, and a containing space is formed between the top panel 111 and the fixed skirt 112, and part of the fixing part 4 is located in the containing space to clamp the fixed flange 121 together with the top panel 111.

[0050] Specifically, as shown in Figure 3 、 Figure 5As shown, the fixing skirt 112 is located inside the edge of the top panel 111, thereby forming a containing space between the outside of the fixing skirt 112 and the lower side of the top panel 111. The part of the fixing member 4 is contained in the containing space, which can position the fixing member 4 in vertical and horizontal directions by the lower end and the side of the fixing skirt 112, and can accommodate the fixing flange 121 and the part of the fixing member 4, so that the outer surface of the cover 12 is flush with the outer edge area of the top panel 111 after assembly, thereby making the whole machine structure more compact and reducing the generation of steps and gaps between the outer surfaces.

[0051] Further, as shown in Figure 3 , Figure 5 , Figure 7 The fixing member 4 is provided with a clamping part 42, which has a horizontal extension section 421 and a vertical extension section 422, the horizontal extension section 421 is fixedly connected with the bottom of the fixing skirt 112, and the vertical extension section 422 is located in the containing space to clamp the fixing flange 121 with the top panel 111.

[0052] In the utility model, the clamping part 42 has a vertical extension section 422 and a horizontal extension section 421, wherein the horizontal extension section 421 is fixedly connected with the lower end of the fixing skirt 112, and the vertical extension section 422 extends into the containing space, thereby when assembling the fixing member 4, the horizontal extension section 421 and the lower end of the fixing skirt 112 can be vertically positioned, and the vertical extension section 422 and the side of the fixing skirt 112 can be horizontally positioned, thereby positioning the fixing member 4 in two directions, making the installation position of the fixing member 4 more accurate, and reducing the assembly difficulty.

[0053] Specifically, as shown in Figure 3 The clamping part 42 is of L-shaped structure, the fixing skirt 112 is provided with a vertically extending fixing column 1121, the horizontal extension section 421 is provided with a fixing hole 4211, the fixing column 1121 and the horizontal extension section 421 are fixedly connected by a fastener such as a screw passing through the fixing hole 4211, and the vertical extension section 422 is located outside the fixing skirt 112.

[0054] Preferably, the water collecting ring 11 and the fixing member 4 are of plastic material, and the cover 12 is of metal material, since the strength of plastic material is relatively low, the screw connection can improve the strength of the water collecting ring 11 by the pre-tightening force of the screw while ensuring the connection stability, so that the water collecting ring 11 can bear greater force and avoid damage. Of course, in addition to screw fixing, the fixing member 4 and the water collecting ring 11 can also be connected by buckle connection and the like, which is not limited here.

[0055] In a preferred embodiment, as shown in Figure 3 , Figure 5As shown, the fixed flange 121 comprises a first extension segment 1211 horizontally extending from the top of the outer cover 12 towards the inside of the pot body 1, and a second extension segment 1212 extending upwards from the edge of the first extension segment 1211, and the edge of the water collecting ring 11 is provided with a positioning flange 114 extending downwards, the second extension segment 1212 is located inside the positioning flange 114, and the bottom of the positioning flange 114 clamps the first extension segment 1211.

[0056] The positioning flange 114 is located above the first extension segment 1211, and the fixing member 4 is located below the first extension segment 1211, both clamping the first extension segment 1211, so as to not only firmly clamp the first extension segment 1211, but also form a transverse limiting with the second extension segment 1212, so that the outer cover 12 cannot shake transversely relative to the water collecting ring 11, thereby improving the position stability and fixing effect of the outer cover 12.

[0057] Preferably, as shown in Figure 2 , Figure 8 , Figure 9 shown, the water collecting ring 11 is provided with a water leakage opening 1131, and the side of the fixing member 4 facing the center of the pot body 1 has a mounting space 122 for mounting a circuit board 123, and the side of the fixing member 4 away from the center of the pot body 1 cooperates with the inner wall of the outer cover 12 to form a water guide channel 41 communicating with the water leakage opening 1131.

[0058] The fixing member 4 not only plays a fixing role on the outer cover 12 and the water collecting ring 11, but also cooperates with the inner wall of the outer cover 12 to form the water guide channel 41 for guiding the liquid on the surface of the water collecting ring 11 to flow downwards and be discharged. Moreover, the circuit board 123 is mounted on the side of the fixing member 4 away from the water guide channel 41, so that the fixing member 4 itself separates the mounting space 122 and the water guide channel 41, so that the liquid in the water guide channel 41 cannot flow to the mounting space 122 on the other side, ensuring the cleanliness of the inside of the pot body 1, and also avoiding the problem of short circuit or failure of the circuit board 123 due to water.

[0059] Specifically, as shown in Figure 7 , Figure 9 shown, the fixing member 4 has a cooperation surface facing the inner wall of the outer cover 12, and a cooperation protruding rib 44 protruding outward from the cooperation wall, and the cooperation protruding rib 44, the cooperation surface and the inner wall of the outer cover 12 together form the water guide channel 41.

[0060] Preferably, as shown in Figure 2 , Figure 4 , Figure 9 , Figure 10As shown, the pot body 1 further comprises a base 13 below the outer cover 12, the fixing member 4 extends downward from the water collecting ring 11 to the base 13, the base 13 is provided with a drain port 131, and the water guide channel 41 is in communication with the drain port 131. Specifically, as shown in Figure 7 、 Figure 9 As shown, the matching convex rib 44 is provided with a notch 441 at the lower end of the fixing member 4, so as to enable the liquid in the water guide channel 41 to flow to the drain port 131.

[0061] Further, as shown in Figure 2 、 Figure 7 、 Figure 9 As shown, the fixing member 4 is provided with at least one step portion 43 protruding towards the inside of the water guide channel 41 in the vertical direction on the side away from the center of the pot body 1, so as to enable the flow area at the top of the water guide channel 41 to be larger than that at the bottom.

[0062] The flow area at the top of the water guide channel 41 is large, so that it can completely cover the water leakage port 1131 on the water collecting ring 11, increase the collection area of the collection port of the water guide channel 41, and enable the liquid in the water leakage port 1131 to completely enter the water guide channel 41, while the flow area of the water guide channel 41 gradually decreases downwards, so that the liquid in the water guide channel 41 can be gradually converged, and small water droplets can be gradually converged into larger water flow, which in turn helps to quickly flow downwards and be discharged under the action of gravity, avoiding the accumulation of liquid in the water guide channel 41. In addition, the setting of the step portion 43 also enables the local area of the fixing member 4 to protrude towards the inside of the water guide channel 41, thereby increasing the volume of the mounting space 122 on the other side of the fixing member 4, leaving more sufficient space for the installation of the circuit board 123, and more reasonably utilizing the internal space of the pot body 1. At the same time, the space between the top of the fixing member 4 and the inner wall of the outer cover 12 is large, which also facilitates the fixing of the fixing member 4 and the water collecting ring 11, leaves sufficient operation space, facilitates the installation operation of the assembler, reduces the assembly difficulty, and improves the assembly efficiency.

[0063] It should be noted that the structure of the step portion 43 is not limited in the embodiment, and in one embodiment, the fixing member 4 extends obliquely downwards from top to bottom towards the outside, so as to form an inclined surface on the inner wall of the water guide channel 41, and enable the width of the water guide channel 41 to gradually decrease from top to bottom.

[0064] In another embodiment, as shown in Figure 2 、 Figure 7 、 Figure 9As shown, multiple stepped portions 43 are arranged vertically, and each stepped portion 43 protrudes further into the water guiding channel 41 from the protrusion of the upper stepped portion 43, forming a stepped structure on the inner wall of the water guiding channel 41, causing the width of the water guiding channel 41 to gradually narrow. Preferably, there is a flow guiding transition surface between each stepped portion 43 to guide the liquid in the water guiding channel 41 to flow downward and avoid accumulation in the water guiding channel 41. The flow guiding transition surface can be an arc surface, a slope, or other curved surface structure, etc., and is not limited here.

[0065] Preferably, such as Figure 7 , Figure 9 As shown, the water collection ring 11 also has a wire passage opening. The fixing part 4 is provided with a matching rib 44 on the side away from the center of the pot body 1. The matching rib 44 and the inner wall of the outer cover 12 cooperate to form a water guiding channel 41. The matching rib 44 is provided with a wire pressing rib 45 on the side away from the water guiding channel 41.

[0066] Specifically, such as Figure 7 As shown, the ribs 44 are located on the left and right sides of the fixing member 4, which restrict the water channel 41 within the space enclosed by the two. The wire pressing rib 45 is located on the side of the ribs 44 away from the water channel 41, so that after the wire enters the pot body 1 from the wire passage at the top, the wire pressing rib 45 restricts the wire to the outside of the water channel 41, thereby reducing the impact of liquid on the wire, reducing the risk of short circuit failure of the wire, and preventing liquid from flowing along the wire to the circuit board 123.

[0067] Specifically, such as Figure 7 As shown, the wire clamping rib 45 is provided on the mating protrusion rib 44 located on one side of the fixing member 4. Of course, wire clamping ribs 45 can also be provided on both sides of the mating protrusion rib 44, so that the wire can run from either the left or right side of the fixing member 4, making the wiring more flexible. Furthermore, there can be only one wire clamping rib 45, or... Figure 7 As shown, multiple conductors are arranged at intervals along the vertical direction to improve the limiting effect on the conductors and make them more regular.

[0068] In one embodiment, the wire passage and the drain outlet 1131 are two independent openings. The wire is used to electrically connect the electrical components on the lid 2 to the circuit board 123 inside the pot body 1. The wire enters the pot body 1 from the wire passage, and the drain outlet 1131 is used to collect liquid from the surface of the lid 2 and the water collection ring 11. In another embodiment, as... Figure 9 As shown, the wire passage and the drain outlet 1131 are integrated and share a single opening. This opening is used for both the passage of the wire and the collection of liquid, while the separation of the wire and the liquid is completed inside the pot body 1.

[0069] Specifically, such as Figure 9As shown, the upper surface of the water collecting ring 11 is provided with a hinged seat 113, and a water leakage opening 1131 is formed in the top surface of the hinged seat 113.

[0070] Preferably, as shown in the drawings, Figure 6 As shown, the water collecting ring 11 is provided with a hinged seat 113 protruding upward, and the hinged seat 113 has a mounting cavity inside. The damping structure includes a damper 115 arranged in the mounting cavity. The pot cover 2 cooperates with the damper 115. The damper 115 is configured to be subjected to a rotational damping force when the pot cover 2 rotates towards a first direction, which is the closing direction.

[0071] Compared with the torsional spring structure, the damping force is provided by the damping action of the damper 115 itself when the pot cover 2 rotates, which not only simplifies the connection structure and the number of parts and structural complexity of the damping structure, but also generates the damping force between the two components that rotate relative to each other, without directly applying force to the pot body 1 and the pot cover 2, thereby reducing the stress on the pot cover 2 and the pot body 1, greatly reducing the structural strength requirements of the two, thus saving material costs. At the same time, the fatigue life of the damper 115 is much longer than that of the torsional spring, so it can continuously and reliably apply a rotational damping force to the pot cover 2.

[0072] When the user opens the cover, the pot cover 2 needs to be actively turned upward and opened by the user. Since this process is completely operated by the user, the user can subjectively adjust the force to turn the pot cover 2, thereby alleviating the problem of the pot cover 2 shaking due to excessive upward turning force. When closing the cover, the user does not need to continuously apply downward pressure to the pot cover 2, but only needs to gently push the pot cover 2 downward, and the pot cover 2 can automatically and slowly close under the action of its own gravity and the damping force of the damper 115. Due to the presence of the damping force, the pot cover 2 will not collide with the pot body 1 at a relatively fast speed, thereby reducing the risk of abnormal noise and collision damage. This makes the user's opening and closing operation more simple, convenient and labor-saving, and improves the user experience.

[0073] In a preferred embodiment, as shown in the drawings, Figure 1 , Figure 2 The pot cover 2 has a connection end 21 and an opening and closing end 22 arranged opposite in the radial direction. The connection end 21 is rotationally connected to the pot body 1. The pot cover 2 is also provided with an operating handle 3. The operating handle 3 has a gripping portion 31 located at the opening and closing end 22. The gripping portion 31 has a gripping gap 33 with the top surface of the pot cover 2.

[0074] The holding portion 31 of the operation handle 3 is located at the opening and closing end 22, which is far from the connection end 21, so that the force arm is longer, and the user can turn the pot cover 2 up to open or horizontally turn the pot cover 2 (for the pressure cooking utensil, the pot cover 2 needs to be horizontally turned to complete the locking and unlocking of the pot cover 2 and the pot body 1), which is more labor-saving. The holding gap 33 is arranged to facilitate the user to hold the holding portion 31 and obtain a better use experience. Preferably, as shown in Figure 2 the holding portion 31 is inclined to extend upward, so as to further increase the holding gap 33 to be sufficient to accommodate the user's hand, improve the user's holding feeling, and reduce the risk of the user's hand being scalded by contacting the top surface of the pot cover 2.

[0075] It should be noted that the structure of the operation handle 3 is not limited in the utility model, in one embodiment, the operation handle 3 is arranged eccentrically with the pot cover 2 as a whole, for example, the operation handle 3 is located at the opening and closing end 22 as a whole. In another embodiment, as shown in Figure 1 , Figure 2 the operation handle 3 also has a fixed portion 32 located at the center of the pot cover 2, and the holding portion 31 is located at the opening and closing end 22. In this way, when the operation handle 3 is turned, the turning axis is the center of the fixed portion 32, the operation handle 3 moves with a smaller amplitude as a whole, and the movement is more reliable and easy to control.

[0076] The parts not described in the utility model can be realized by using or referring to the existing technology.

[0077] Each embodiment in the specification is described in a progressive manner, and the same or similar parts between each embodiment can be referred to each other, and each embodiment mainly describes the difference from other embodiments.

[0078] The above only describes the embodiments of the utility model and is not used to limit the utility model. The utility model can be changed and varied in various ways for those skilled in the art. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement and the like made within the spirit and principle of the utility model shall be included in the scope of the claims of the utility model.
