One end of the first spring 303 is fixedly connected to one side of the mounting block 301, and the other end of the first spring 303 is fixedly connected to one side of the connecting ring 304. With the setting of the first spring 303, when the connecting ring 304 moves, the first spring 303 is compressed and deformed. After losing the compression force, it can drive the second fixed post 302 to quickly reset, so that one end of the second fixed post 302 is inserted into the interior of the fixed groove 203 to fix the rotating disk 202.

[0033] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 3 An adjusting screw sleeve 115 is fixedly connected to one side of the inner cavity of the mounting plate 107.

The surface of the first fixing post 118 is inserted into the inner cavity of the positioning groove 109. By adjusting the setting of the adjusting screw sleeve 115, the threaded rod 116 is moved, which in turn moves the first fixing post 118, so that the first fixing post 118 can fix the position of the fixing block 106.

[0034] Reference Figure 3The inner cavity of the movable plate 117 is movably connected with guide posts 119. There are two guide posts 119, and both ends of the guide posts 119 are fixedly connected to the inner cavity of the mounting plate 107. The guide posts 119 guide the movement of the movable plate 117, preventing the movable plate 117 from deviating during the movement, and further improving the stability of the first fixed post 118 during the movement.

[0035] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 A torsion spring 113 is slidably sleeved on the surface of the rotating column 112. There are two torsion springs 113. One end of the torsion spring 113 is fixedly connected to the surface of the rotating plate 103, and the other end of the torsion spring 113 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the fixed plate 102. With the setting of the torsion spring 113, when the rotating plate 103 rotates, the torsion spring 113 is subjected to force and undergoes torsional deformation. After losing the torsional force, it can drive the cover 104 to quickly reset.

[0036] Working principle: The operator adds water to the inside of the pot body 101, pours the mixed batter into the inside of the inner pot 108, and then places the inner pot 108 into the pot body 101. By holding and pulling the handle 105, the operator rotates the lid 104, which in turn rotates the rotating plate 103. One end of the rotating plate 103 rotates around the surface of the rotating column 112. The rotation of the rotating plate 103 causes the torsion spring 113 to undergo torsional deformation. When the torsion spring 113 loses its torsional force, it can quickly reset the lid 104. When the lid 104 rotates the sealing gasket 110 into the extrusion groove 111, it simultaneously rotates the fixing block. 106 moves into the interior of the mounting plate 107, and then drives the threaded rod 116 by rotating the rotating block 114. The threaded rod 116 moves by adjusting the threaded connection between the adjusting sleeve 115 and the threaded connection, which in turn drives the moving plate 117 to move. The inner cavity of the moving plate 117 moves on the surface of the guide post 119. The guide post 119 stabilizes the moving plate 117 during movement. The moving plate 117 drives the first fixing post 118 to move, inserting it into the guide post 119 to fix the position of the cover 104. Then, the rotating disc 202 is rotated by hand to drive the rotating shaft. Rotation of shaft 204 drives rotation of disk 205, which in turn drives movement of first rotating rod 211. First rotating rod 211 then drives movement of connecting rod 212. One end of connecting rod 212 rotates around the surface of first rotating rod 211, while the other end rotates around the surface of second rotating rod 214, simultaneously driving movement of second rotating rod 214. Second rotating rod 214 then drives movement of moving block 215, which in turn drives sliding column 217 to slide within slide groove 216. Moving block 215 also drives movement of fixed disk 207, which in turn drives extrusion. The plate 208 moves, which in turn drives the pressing column 209 to move. The pressing column 209 then drives the pressing ring 210 to move. The pressing ring 210 then pushes the sealing gasket 110 into the pressing groove 111, increasing the sealing between the pot body 101 and the lid body 104. Then, the connecting ring 304 is pulled to move the second fixing column 302. The movement of the connecting ring 304 causes the first spring 303 to deform. When the first spring 303 loses power, it can drive the second fixing column 302 to quickly reset, so that the second fixing column 302 fits into the fixing groove 203 and fixes the position of the rotating disk 202.

[0037] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely illustrative of the principles of this utility model. Various changes and modifications can be made to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope, and all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of the claimed utility model.
