[0029] A cooking appliance is provided according to a second aspect of the embodiments of this disclosure, comprising:

[0030] As mentioned in any of the first aspects above, the pot lid assembly.

[0031] Compared with the prior art, this disclosure has at least the following beneficial effects: The pot lid assembly provided in the embodiments of this disclosure includes a shell, a lid body, and an operating structure. The lid body and the operating structure are both disposed within the shell, thereby providing structural support and protection for the lid body and the operating structure. The lid body can move relative to the shell, facilitating movement of the lid body relative to the pot body of the cooking appliance in practical applications, allowing the lid body to lock or unlock onto the pot body, thereby closing or opening the space inside the pot.

[0054] Exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure will now be described in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. While exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure are shown in the drawings, it should be understood that the present disclosure may be implemented in various forms and should not be limited to the embodiments set forth herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided so that this disclosure will be thorough and complete, and will fully convey the scope of the disclosure to those skilled in the art.

[0055] In pressure cooking appliances, the lid and pot body are typically locked or unlocked through relative movement. Accordingly, the lid usually has an operating mechanism for user control, such as a slider mechanism. This slider mechanism may include two spaced-apart slide rails, with a groove defined between them. One end of each slide rail is fixed to the lid's outer shell, while the other end is free. The slider can slide within the groove and rotate the lid. However, in practical applications, it has been found that the slide rails are prone to deformation, resulting in poor dimensional stability of the groove and the slider easily becoming stuck. This makes it difficult for users to lock or unlock the lid, severely impacting the user experience.

[0056] To at least solve one of the technical problems existing in the prior art or related technologies, such as Figures 1 to 11 As shown, a pot lid assembly is provided according to a first aspect of the present disclosure, comprising: a housing 100; a lid 200 movably disposed on the housing 100; and an operating structure 300 including a guide rail portion 310 and an operating portion 320. The guide rail portion 310 includes a first guide member 311, a second guide member 312, and a guide rail cover 313. One end of the first guide member 311 and one end of the second guide member 312 are both disposed on the housing 100, and the other end of the first guide member 311 and the other end of the second guide member 312 are both connected to the guide rail cover 313. A guide groove 3101 is formed between the first guide member 311 and the second guide member 312. The operating portion 320 is slidably disposed on the guide groove 3101 and is drively connected to the lid 200. At least a portion of the guide rail cover 313 is located within the guide groove 3101.

[0057] The pot lid assembly provided in this embodiment includes a housing 100, a lid 200, and an operating structure 300. Both the lid 200 and the operating structure 300 are disposed within the housing 100, providing structural support and protection for the lid 200 and the operating structure 300. The lid 200 is movable relative to the housing 100, facilitating movement of the lid 200 relative to the pot body in practical applications. This allows the lid 200 to lock or unlock onto the pot body, thereby closing or opening the interior space of the pot. The operating structure 300 includes... The guide rail section 310 and the operating section 320 are connected in a transmission manner to the cover 200 and are used to receive driving force. Thus, when the operating section 320 receives an externally applied driving force, it can transmit power to the cover 200 to drive the cover 200 to move. The guide rail section 310 includes a first guide member 311, a second guide member 312, and a guide rail cover 313. One end of each of the first guide member 311 and the second guide member 312 is disposed on the housing 100, and the other end is connected to the guide rail cover 313. A certain distance is formed between the first guide member 311 and the second guide member 312. The operating part 320 is slidably disposed within the guide groove 3101, allowing it to slide along the guide groove 3101 under the aforementioned driving force, thereby driving the pot lid to move. When the operating part 320 moves to the end positions of the first guide member 311 and the second guide member 312, the guide rail cover 313 or the housing 100 can block the operating part, constraining its movement and preventing it from disengaging from the guide groove 3101. This improves the stability and reliability of the operating mechanism. Meanwhile, at least a portion of the guide rail cover 313 is located within the slide groove, which prevents the first guide member 311 and the second guide member 312 from deforming and approaching each other during use. This helps ensure the stability of the shape and size of the guide groove 3101, thereby providing a reliable guarantee for the guide rail part 310 to stably guide the movement of the operating part 320, reducing the risk of the operating part 320 getting stuck during use, and facilitating the stable and reliable movement of the operating part 320 to drive the cover 200. This makes it easier for the cover 200 to smoothly lock or unlock, improving the user experience of the product.

[0058] It should be noted that the pot lid assembly provided in this embodiment can be installed in the pot body of a cooking appliance or used as a component of the cooking appliance in practical applications. The aforementioned cooking appliance can be, but is not limited to, a pressure cooker, a liquid heating container, etc. Taking the aforementioned lid assembly as a component of a pressure cooker as an example, the lid body 200 can be formed with lid teeth that are adapted to the pot teeth of the pressure cooker. The lid body 200 can be used to cover or open the pot opening of the aforementioned pot body. When the lid body 200 covers the pot opening of the aforementioned pot body, the lid body 200 can rotate relative to the pot body so that the pot teeth and the lid teeth correspond to or are misaligned with each other. Correspondingly, when the pot teeth correspond to the lid teeth, the pot teeth can cooperate with the lid teeth to restrict the lid body 200 from moving away from the pot body, thereby locking the lid body 200 to the pot body and preventing the pot opening from being opened, so as to facilitate pressure cooking in the pressure cooker. When the pot teeth and the lid teeth are misaligned along the rotation direction of the lid body 200, the lid body 200 is unlocked from the pot body and can move away from the pot body, so as to open the pot opening and facilitate the user to put food into the pot or take out food from the pot. The operating unit 320 can receive driving force, such as driving force manually applied by the user to the operating unit 320. Accordingly, the operating unit 320 can generate displacement along the guide groove 3101 and drive the cover 200 to generate the aforementioned rotation.

[0059] It is understood that the aforementioned "at least part of the guide rail cover 313 is located within the guide groove 3101" means that the guide rail cover 313 can be entirely located within the bathroom guide groove 3101, or a portion of the guide rail cover 313 can be located within the guide groove 3101.

[0060] Understandably, considering the ease of use of the operating part 320 in practical applications, the housing 100 may have a passage opening 102, through which at least a portion of the operating part 320 may extend outside the housing 100. Correspondingly, the guide rail part 310 may be disposed within the housing 100 to provide structural protection for the guide rail part 310. For example, the first guide member 311 may be a plate-like structure and arranged opposite to the passage opening 102, thereby blocking the passage opening 102 and preventing the user from directly observing the components inside the housing 100 through the passage opening 102, which helps improve the aesthetics of the lid assembly.

[0061] It is understood that the aforementioned operating part 320 is connected to the cover 200 via a transmission connection. This connection can be either direct or indirect, via other transmission components.

[0062] In some feasible examples, the guide cover 313 is detachably connected to the first guide member 311 and the second guide member 312, thereby facilitating the assembly of the operating component during manufacturing and maintenance during use. Exemplarily, one section of the guide groove 3101 can be an open end, and the guide cover 313 can cover the aforementioned open end. During the assembly of the operating component, the operating part 320 can first be inserted into the guide groove 3101 through the aforementioned open end, and then the guide cover 313 can be placed on the first guide member 311 and the second guide member 312 to cover the aforementioned open end. Considering the reliability of the connection between the guide cover 313 and the first guide member 311 and the second guide member 312, in practical applications, the guide cover 313 can be connected to the first guide member 311 and the second guide member 312 by bolts, clips, adhesives, or other means.

[0063] like Figure 4 , Figures 6 to 8 As shown, in some examples, a portion of the guide rail cover 313 is located on the side of the first guide 311 opposite to the second guide 312; and / or

[0064] Part of the guide rail cover 313 is located on the side of the second guide member 312 opposite to the first guide member 311.

[0065] In this technical solution, a portion of the guide rail cover 313 can be located on the side of the first guide member 311 opposite to the second guide member 312. This guide rail cover 313 further prevents the first guide member 311 from deforming in the direction opposite to the second guide member 312, thus preventing the guide groove 3101 from expanding in size. This avoids loosening of the operating part 320 relative to the guide groove 3101, enhances the movement constraint effect of the guide rail part 310 on the operating part 320, further improves the movement stability and reliability of the operating part 320, and facilitates the stable and reliable movement of the operating part 320 in driving the cover 200. This allows the cover 200 to smoothly lock or unlock, improving the user experience of the product.

[0066] In this technical solution, a portion of the guide rail cover 313 can be located on the side of the second guide member 312 opposite to the first guide member 311. This guide rail cover 313 further prevents the second guide member 312 from deforming in the direction opposite to the first guide member 311, thus preventing the guide groove 3101 from expanding in size. This avoids loosening of the operating part 320 relative to the guide groove 3101, enhances the movement constraint effect of the guide rail part 310 on the operating part 320, further improves the movement stability and reliability of the operating part 320, and facilitates the stable and reliable movement of the operating part 320 in driving the cover 200. This allows the cover 200 to smoothly lock or unlock, improving the user experience of the product.

[0067] It is understandable that, while the guide rail cover 313 of the setting part is located on the side of the first guide member 311 away from the second guide member 312, the guide rail cover 313 of the setting part is located on the side of the second guide member 312 away from the first guide member 311. This can further enhance the structural reliability and stability of the guide rail part 310, prevent the guide rail part 310 from undergoing large deformation, enhance the movement constraint effect of the guide rail part 310 on the operating part 320, further improve the movement stability and reliability of the operating part 320, and facilitate the stable and reliable movement of the operating part 320 to drive the cover 200, making it easier for the cover 200 to smoothly lock or unlock, thus improving the user experience of the product.

[0068] like Figures 6 to 8 As shown, in some examples, the housing 100 has an installation space, the guide rail 310 is disposed in the installation space, and the guide rail cover 313 abuts against the housing 100 on the side opposite to the first guide member 311 or the second guide member 312.

[0069] In this technical solution, the guide rail 310 can be disposed within the installation space of the housing 100, thereby enhancing the structural protection effect of the housing 100 on the guide rail 310 and preventing the guide rail 310 from being exposed to the external environment. This helps to reduce the risk of damage to the guide rail 310 while improving the aesthetics of the pot lid assembly. Correspondingly, the side of the guide rail cover 313 away from the first guide member 311 or the second guide member 312 can abut against the housing 100, thereby allowing the housing 100 to further constrain the position of the guide rail cover 313, preventing the guide rail cover 313 from becoming loose from the first guide member 311 or the second guide member 312, and preventing the guide rail cover 313 from flipping relative to the first guide member 311 or the second guide member 312. This further enhances the structural reliability and stability of the guide rail 310, providing further assurance for the smooth movement of the lid 200 by the operating part 320.

[0070] For example, such as Figures 2 to 10 As shown, the housing 100 may include a first housing body 110 and a second housing body 120 connected to each other, with the aforementioned installation space formed between the first housing body 110 and the second housing body 120, and the aforementioned cover 200 is movably disposed on the second housing body 120. In practical applications, the aforementioned first housing body 110 can serve as the outer shell of the pot lid assembly, and the aforementioned second housing body 120 can serve as the inner shell of the pot lid assembly.

[0071] In some examples, the housing 100 is formed with a protrusion 101 that abuts against the guide cover 313 on the side opposite to the first guide 311 or the second guide 312.

[0072] In this technical solution, the housing 100 can abut against the guide rail cover 313 using the protruding structure 101. The protruding structure 101 is located on the side of the guide rail cover 313 opposite to the first guide member 311 or the second guide member 312. Thus, on the one hand, the housing 100 can fill the gap between itself and the guide rail cover 313 using the protruding structure 101, and further constrain the position of the guide rail cover 313 using the protruding structure 101, preventing the guide rail cover 313 from loosening from the first guide member 311 or the second guide member 312, and preventing the guide rail cover 313 from flipping relative to the first guide member 311 or the second guide member 312. This is beneficial to further enhance the structural reliability and stability of the guide rail part 310, and provides further assurance for the smooth movement of the cover 200 by the operating part 320. On the other hand, it can avoid the abutment requirement between the housing 100 and the guide rail cover 313 from affecting the overall size of the housing 100, and can avoid the overall wall thickness of the housing 100 being too large, thereby ensuring the overall lightweight and miniaturization level of the housing 100 and the pot lid assembly.

[0073] like Figure 8 , Figure 9 and Figure 11 As shown, in some examples, the guide rail cover 313 includes: an end plate 3131, the other end of the first guide member 311 and the other end of the second guide member 312 are both connected to the end plate 3131; and a first limiting plate 3132 connected to the end plate 3131, the first limiting plate 3132 being located in the guide groove 3101.

[0074] In this technical solution, the aforementioned guide rail cover 313 may include an end plate 3131 and a first limiting plate 3132. The first guide member 311 and the second guide member 312 are each connected at one end to the aforementioned housing 100 and at the other end to the aforementioned end plate 3131. Thus, the guide rail cover 313 can utilize the end plate 3131 to structurally connect the first guide member 311 and the second guide member 312, which helps improve the overall structural strength and reliability of the guide rail portion 310 and reduces the risk of deformation of the guide rail portion 310. The aforementioned first limiting plate 3132 is disposed at the end plate 3131. The plate 3131 is located on the aforementioned guide groove 3101, thereby preventing the first guide member 311 and the second guide member 312 from deforming and approaching each other during use. This helps to ensure the stability of the shape and size of the guide groove 3101, and provides a reliable guarantee for the guide rail part 310 to stably guide the movement of the operating part 320. It also reduces the risk of the operating part 320 getting stuck during use, and helps the operating part 320 to stably and reliably drive the cover 200 to move, making it easier for the cover 200 to smoothly lock or unlock, thus improving the user experience of the product.

[0075] It is understood that the aforementioned end plate 3131 and the aforementioned first limiting plate 3132 can be an integral structure.

[0076] It is understood that the two sides of the aforementioned first limiting plate 3132 can respectively abut against the first guide member 311 and the second guide member 312, thereby enhancing the effect of the first limiting plate 3132 on limiting the deformation range of the first guide member 311 and the second guide member 312.

[0077] It is understandable that, based on the aforementioned configuration in this technical solution, when there is a difference in the structural strength of the first guide member 311 and the second guide member 312, the one with weaker structural strength of the first guide member 311 and the second guide member 312 can be connected to the one with stronger structural strength through the end plate 3131, thereby enhancing the overall structural strength of the guide rail section 310.

[0078] like Figure 8 and Figure 9 As shown, in some examples, the guide rail cover 313 further includes: a second limiting plate 3133 connected to the end plate 3131, the second limiting plate 3133 abutting against the side of the first guide member 311 opposite to the second guide member 312; and a third limiting plate 3134 connected to the end plate 3131, the third limiting plate 3134 abutting against the side of the second guide member 312 opposite to the first guide member 311.

[0079] In this technical solution, the guide rail cover 313 may further include the aforementioned second limiting plate 3133 and third limiting plate 3134. Based on the aforementioned configuration, the guide rail cover 313 can use the second limiting plate 3133 to further prevent the first guide member 311 from deforming in the direction away from the second guide member 312, and use the third limiting plate 3134 to further prevent the second guide member 312 from deforming in the direction away from the first guide member 311. This can further enhance the structural reliability and stability of the guide rail part 310, prevent the size expansion of the guide groove 3101, thereby avoiding the loosening of the operating part 320 relative to the guide groove 3101. This is beneficial to enhance the movement constraint effect of the guide rail part 310 on the operating part 320, further improve the movement stability and reliability of the operating part 320, and facilitate the stable and reliable movement of the operating part 320 to drive the cover 200, making it easier for the cover 200 to smoothly lock or unlock, thus improving the user experience of the product.

[0080] like Figure 9 and Figure 11 As shown, in some examples, the guide rail cover 313 also includes a fourth limiting plate 3135, which is connected between the second limiting plate 3133 and the third limiting plate 3134.

[0081] In this technical solution, the guide rail cover 313 may also include the aforementioned fourth limiting plate 3135. Based on the aforementioned configuration, the guide rail cover 313 can utilize the fourth limiting plate 3135 to structurally connect the second limiting plate 3133 and the third limiting plate 3134. This is beneficial for improving the overall structural strength and reliability of the guide rail cover 313, reducing the risk of deformation of the guide rail cover 313, and enhancing the structural reinforcement effect of the guide rail cover 313 on the first guide member 311 and the second guide member 312. This further improves the movement stability and reliability of the operating part 320, which is conducive to the stable and reliable movement of the operating part 320 to drive the cover 200, facilitating the smooth locking or unlocking movement of the cover 200 and improving the user experience of the product.

[0082] like Figure 9 As shown, in some examples, the guide rail cover 313 further includes a fifth limiting plate 3136 connected between the second limiting plate 3133 and the third limiting plate 3134; wherein the fourth limiting plate 3135 and the fifth limiting plate 3136 are arranged at intervals, and the first guide member 311, the second guide member 312 and the operating part 320 are located between the fourth limiting plate 3135 and the fifth limiting plate 3136.

[0083] In this technical solution, the guide rail cover 313 may further include the aforementioned fifth limiting plate 3136. Based on the aforementioned configuration, on the one hand, the guide rail cover 313 can utilize the fifth limiting plate 3136 in conjunction with the fourth limiting plate 3135 to establish a structural connection between the second limiting plate 3133 and the third limiting plate 3134. This is beneficial for improving the overall structural strength and reliability of the guide rail cover 313, reducing the risk of deformation of the guide rail cover 313, and enhancing the deformation limiting effect of the guide rail cover 313 on the first guide member 311 and the second guide member 312, thereby further improving the movement stability and reliability of the operating part 320. On the other hand, the fifth limiting plate 3136 can cooperate with the fourth limiting plate 3135 to limit the deformation of the first guide member 311 and the second guide member 312 along the arrangement direction of the fourth limiting plate 3135 and the fifth limiting plate 3136, and can limit the displacement of the operating part 320 in the aforementioned arrangement direction, thereby further improving the movement stability and reliability of the operating part 320.

[0084] like Figure 4 , Figures 6 to 11 As shown, in some examples, the first guide 311 is formed with a first reinforcing rib 3102; and / or the second guide 312 is formed with a second reinforcing rib 3103; and / or the guide cover 313 is formed with a third reinforcing rib 3104.

[0085] In this technical solution, the aforementioned first guide member 311 can be formed with a first reinforcing rib 3102, thereby improving the structural strength of the first guide member 311, reducing the risk of structural deformation of the first guide member 311, and helping the guide rail part 310 to more reliably constrain the movement of the operating part 320.

[0086] In this technical solution, the aforementioned second guide member 312 can be formed with a first reinforcing rib 3102, thereby improving the structural strength of the second guide member 312, reducing the risk of structural deformation of the second guide member 312, and helping the guide rail part 310 to more reliably constrain the movement of the operating part 320.

[0087] In this technical solution, the aforementioned guide rail cover 313 can be formed with a third reinforcing rib 3104, thereby enhancing the structural strength and reliability of the guide rail cover 313, improving the deformation restriction effect of the guide rail cover 313 on the first guide member 311 and the second guide member 312, enhancing the overall structural strength of the guide rail part 310, and facilitating the guide rail part 310 to more reliably constrain the movement of the operating part 320.

[0088] It is understood that the aforementioned first reinforcing rib 3102 may be formed on the side of the first guide member 311 opposite to the second guide member 312; the aforementioned second reinforcing rib 3103 may be formed on the side of the second guide member 312 opposite to the first guide member 311; and the aforementioned third reinforcing rib 3104 may be formed on the side of the guide rail cover 313 opposite to the first guide member 311 and / or the second guide member 312.

[0089] like Figures 2 to 4 As shown, in some examples, the lid assembly also includes a transmission mechanism 400, which is transmissionally connected between the operating part 320 and the lid body 200.

[0090] In this technical solution, the aforementioned pot lid assembly may include a transmission mechanism 400, so that the operating part 320 can drive the lid 200 to move through the transmission mechanism 400. On the one hand, this is beneficial to improve the movement stability of the lid 200 and to make the lid 200 lock or unlock smoothly onto the pot of the cooking appliance. On the other hand, it also facilitates the positional arrangement of the lid 200 and the operating part 320 on the housing 100, and facilitates the structural design of the pot lid assembly.

[0091] It is understood that the aforementioned transmission mechanism 400 may be, but is not limited to, a gear transmission mechanism 400, a linkage transmission mechanism 400, a belt transmission mechanism 400, or a combination of multiple transmission forms, etc.; for example, the aforementioned transmission mechanism 400 may include a first gear 410, a second gear 420, a third gear 430, and a fourth gear 440. The first gear 410 meshes with the second gear 420 and is connected to the operating part 320 in a transmission manner. The second gear 420 and the third gear 430 are arranged coaxially and are an integral structure. The third gear 430 meshes with the fourth gear 440, and the fourth gear 440 is fixedly connected to the cover 200.

[0092] For example, the cover 200 may include a cover body 210 and a lifting shaft 220 connected to the cover body 210. The lifting shaft 220 is rotatably disposed on the housing 100. The aforementioned fourth gear 440 may be fixedly connected to the lifting shaft 220 or fixedly connected to the cover body 210.
