Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of kitchen appliance technology, and more particularly to a cooking appliance. Background Technology

[0002] Existing cooking appliances, such as some rice cookers, use a rotatable button panel on the cooker body. When the lid is placed on the cooker body, rotating the button panel engages with the lid, thus securing the lid to the cooker body.

[0003] Generally, the cooker body consists of a middle ring and a base. The middle ring is mounted on the base, and the button panel is mounted on the middle ring. In order to facilitate the assembly of the button panel on the middle ring, the middle ring needs to be disassembled. That is, part of the middle ring structure is treated as a separate cooker body component. After the button panel is placed on the middle ring, the cooker body component is fixed to the middle ring with two screws, and the cooker body component is used to press down on the button panel to achieve the assembly of the button panel on the middle ring.

[0004] However, after placing the disassembled parts of the cooker body onto the central ring, the operator first needs to manually calibrate the screw holes before using screws to fix them, resulting in a high rate of operational errors and low assembly efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0005] In order to solve the above-mentioned technical problems, or at least partially solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this application provides a cooking appliance that, by setting a guiding and mating structure, ensures accurate alignment of screw holes without manual calibration when assembling the disassembled parts of the pot body onto the middle ring of the pot body, thus facilitating the subsequent use of screws to fix the disassembled parts of the pot body onto the middle ring of the pot body.

[0006] This application provides a cooking appliance, including a pot body, a lid, a button plate, and a fixing member. The lid is closable and covers the pot body. The button plate has a pivot portion and is rotatably mounted on the pot body via the pivot portion for engaging with the lid. The pot body includes a central ring with an outer side wall and a downwardly extending inner side wall. A mounting groove that mates with the fixing member and a shaft hole that mates with the pivot portion are formed between the outer side wall and the inner side wall. A guide rib is provided on the mounting groove, and a corresponding limiting groove is provided on the side of the fixing member. The guide rib is inserted into the limiting groove, and the fixing member presses against the pivot portion to fix the button plate.

[0007] In some embodiments, the guide rib is formed as a wedge-shaped structure with gradually decreasing width and thickness along the direction in which the guide rib is inserted into the limiting groove.

[0008] In some embodiments, the guide rib is located on the side of the mounting groove adjacent to the outer side wall.

[0009] In some embodiments, a first reinforcing rib is connected between the guide rib and the outer side wall.

[0010] In some embodiments, a baffle is provided on the side of the mounting groove away from the outer side wall. The baffle is used to cooperate with and limit the fixing member on the side away from the outer side wall. A guide surface is formed on the baffle to guide the fixing member to be installed.

[0011] In some embodiments, the limiting groove has a first groove wall and a second groove wall opposite to each other, the second groove wall having a notch that penetrates one side wall of the fastener, and the second groove wall including two groove wall segments located on both sides of the notch and extending toward each other.

[0012] In some embodiments, a second reinforcing rib is formed on the fastener, and the second reinforcing rib is located at the notch.

[0013] In some embodiments, the pivot portion is located at one end of the button plate, and the other end of the button plate has a raised portion to form a gap between the button plate and the cover when the button plate is fastened to the cover.

[0014] In some embodiments, the pot body includes a base and a socket cover, the middle ring is mounted above the base, and the socket cover is mounted on the base;

[0015] The socket cover has a buckle, the base has a latching part, the buckle is engaged with the latching part, and the base has an anti-detachment rib, which is located on the side of the buckle facing away from the latching part and forms a mating gap with the buckle.

[0016] In some embodiments, the number of the buckles is two, and the two buckles are arranged opposite to each other;

[0017] The two buckle positions are located on the side of the two buckles furthest from each other, and the two anti-slip ribs are located on the side of the two buckles closest to each other.

[0018] The technical solution provided in this application has at least the following advantages compared with the prior art:

[0019] 1. The cooking appliance provided in this application includes a pot body comprising a middle ring and a fixing member. The middle ring has an outer side wall and a downwardly extending inner side wall. A mounting groove that mates with the fixing member and a shaft hole that mates with the rotating shaft are formed between the outer and inner side walls. The fixing member can be considered a detachable part of the pot body. After placing the rotating shaft of the control panel into the shaft hole formed on the middle ring, the fixing member is installed in the mounting groove formed on the middle ring. By pressing the rotating shaft of the control panel against the fixing member, the control panel is rotatably limited on the middle ring. A guide rib is provided on the mounting groove, and a limiting groove corresponding to the guide rib is provided on the side of the fixing member. When the component is placed on the middle ring of the pot body, the guide rib is inserted into the limiting groove and cooperates with the limiting groove to limit the position. This achieves the purpose of self-limiting and calibration during the placement of the component, ensuring the accuracy of the component's position on the middle ring of the pot body. Thus, after the component is placed on the middle ring of the pot body, there is no need to manually calibrate the screw holes, ensuring accurate alignment of the screw holes. This facilitates the subsequent use of screws to fix the component to the middle ring of the pot body. The operation is simple, with a low error rate and high assembly efficiency. It effectively solves the problems of high error rate and low assembly efficiency caused by the need for manual calibration of screw hole misalignment when the operator places the component.

[0020] 2. By setting one end of the button panel to be rotatably connected to the pot body, and the other end of the button panel to have a raised part, a gap is formed between the raised part of the button panel and the lid when the button panel is fastened to the lid. This allows the user to insert their fingers into the gap when prying the button panel to open the lid, thus increasing the contact area between the fingers and the button panel. This makes opening the lid easier and more convenient, solving the problem of the small gap between the button panel and the lid making it difficult to open the button panel.

[0021] 3. By installing a socket cover on the base, water can be prevented from flowing into the socket, thus avoiding safety hazards. The socket cover has a buckle, and the base has a locking part. The socket cover and the base are fixed together by the buckle, and the base has an anti-detachment rib. The anti-detachment rib is located on the side of the buckle opposite to the locking part and forms a fitting gap with the buckle. In this way, the anti-detachment rib can prevent the buckle from rebounding under force, thereby ensuring the firmness of the buckle and the locking part and solving the problem of the buckle rebounding and falling off when the socket cover is under force.

[0043] To better understand the above-mentioned objectives, features, and advantages of this application, the solution of this application will be further described below. It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in these embodiments can be combined with each other.

[0044] Many specific details are set forth in the following description in order to provide a full understanding of this application, but this application may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein; obviously, the embodiments in the specification are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments.

[0045] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, some embodiments of this application provide a cooking appliance, including a pot body 1, a lid 2, and a button panel 3.

[0046] The lid 2 is foldably mounted on the pot body 1; the button plate 3 is rotatably mounted on the pot body 1. Specifically, the button plate 3 has a pivot 31, which is rotatably connected to the pot body 1; the button plate 3 is used to fasten the lid 2 to the pot body 1.

[0047] Among them, reference Figures 3 to 11 As shown, the cooker body 1 includes a middle ring 11 and a fixing member 12. The middle ring 11 has an outer side wall 111 and a downwardly extending inner side wall 112. An installation groove 113 that mates with the fixing member 12 and a shaft hole 114 that mates with the rotating shaft 31 are formed between the outer side wall 111 and the inner side wall 112. A guide rib 115 is provided on the installation groove 113. A limiting groove 121 is provided on the side of the fixing member 12. The guide rib 115 is inserted into the limiting groove 121. The fixing member 12 presses against the rotating shaft 31 to fix the button plate 3.

[0048] The cooking appliance provided in this application embodiment has a fixing member 12 that can be equivalent to a disassembled part of the pot body 1. After the rotating shaft part 31 of the button plate 3 is placed into the shaft hole 114 formed on the middle ring 11, the fixing member 12 is installed in the mounting groove 113 formed on the middle ring 11. By pressing the rotating shaft part 31 of the button plate 3 with the fixing member 12, the button plate 3 is rotatably limited on the middle ring 11. By providing a guide rib 115 on the mounting groove 113 and a limiting groove 121 corresponding to the guide rib 115 on the side of the fixing member 12, when the fixing member 12 is placed on the middle ring 11, the guide rib 115 is inserted into the limiting groove. The groove 121, in conjunction with the limiting groove 121, limits the positioning of the fastener 12, thereby achieving self-limiting calibration during the placement process and ensuring the accuracy of the fastener 12's placement on the middle ring 11. Thus, after the fastener 12 is placed on the middle ring 11, there is no need for manual calibration of the screw hole 122, ensuring accurate alignment of the screw hole 122. This facilitates subsequent use of screws to fix the fastener 12 onto the middle ring 11. The operation is simple, with a low error rate and high assembly efficiency, effectively solving the problems of high error rate and low assembly efficiency caused by the need for manual calibration of the screw hole 122 when the operator places the fastener 12.

[0049] It should be understood that, in order to fix the fastener 12 on the middle ring 11, refer to Figures 7 to 10 As shown, a screw post 116 is usually provided on the middle ring 11, and a screw hole 122 is provided on the fastener 12. During assembly, after the fastener 12 is placed on the middle ring 11, it is necessary to ensure that the screw hole 122 on the fastener 12 is aligned with the screw post 116 on the middle ring 11. Only then can the screw be passed through the screw hole 122 and the screw post 116 to fix the fastener 12 on the middle ring 11. Specifically, there can be two screw posts 116 and two screw holes 122, and they are set one-to-one.

[0050] The cooking appliance provided in this application embodiment has a guide rib 115 on the mounting groove 113 and a limiting groove 121 corresponding to the guide rib 115 on the side of the fixing member 12. When the fixing member 12 is placed on the middle ring 11, the guide rib 115 will insert into the limiting groove 121 and cooperate with the limiting groove 121 to limit the position, thereby achieving the purpose of self-limiting calibration during the placement of the fixing member 12 and ensuring the accuracy of the placement position of the fixing member 12 on the middle ring 11. Thus, after the fixing member 12 is placed on the middle ring 11, there is no need to manually calibrate the screw hole 122, which can ensure that the screw hole 122 is accurately aligned, thereby facilitating the subsequent use of screws to fix the fixing member 12 on the middle ring 11.

[0051] In practical implementation, the middle ring 11 can be an open structure at the lower end. The guide rib 115 on the middle ring 11 can extend downward from the upper inner side of the middle ring 11, and the fastener 12 can be installed upward on the middle ring 11 through the lower open end. For specific assembly, refer to... Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the middle ring 11 can be inverted for the installation of the fastener 12, that is, the lower end of the middle ring 11 is facing upwards, and the fastener 12 is installed downwards on the middle ring 11. Specifically, when the fastener 12 is placed downwards on the middle ring 11 through the opening of the middle ring 11, the limiting groove 121 on the fastener 12 moves downwards, and the guide rib 115 on the middle ring 11 is inserted into the limiting groove 121. During the process of the guide rib 115 being inserted into the limiting groove 121, it will automatically limit and calibrate the position of the guide rib 115 in the limiting groove 121, thereby realizing the self-calibration of the installation position of the fastener 12 on the middle ring 11. After the guide rib 115 is inserted into place, it cooperates with the limiting groove 121 to limit the fastener 12 on the middle ring 11 and ensure the accuracy of the placement position of the fastener 12 on the middle ring 11, so as to facilitate the subsequent screw-driving operation.

[0052] In some embodiments, refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the pot body 1 may also include a base 13 and a panel 14. The middle ring 11 is installed above the base 13, and the panel 14 is installed at the front end of the middle ring 11 and the base 13. The middle ring 11, the base 13 and the panel 14 together form a cooking cavity with an open top. The lid 2 is detachably installed on the upper opening of the cooking cavity.

[0053] During assembly, the button plate 3 and the fastener 12 can be installed on the middle ring 11 first, then the lower part of the panel 14 can be inserted into the front notch of the base 13, and then the middle ring 11 can be installed on top of the base 13. At the same time, the upper part of the panel 14 can be inserted into the front notch of the middle ring 11, thus realizing the installation of the middle ring 11, the base 13 and the panel 14.

[0054] In some embodiments, refer to Figure 6and Figure 9 As shown, along the direction in which the guide rib 115 is inserted into the limiting groove 121, the guide rib 115 is formed into a wedge-shaped structure with both its width and thickness gradually decreasing. (Refer to...) Figure 6 The double-headed arrows indicate the width and thickness directions.

[0055] By setting the guide rib 115 as a wedge-shaped structure, the guide rib 115 can be smoothly inserted into the limiting groove 121. After the guide rib 115 is inserted into place, it can be limited and matched with the limiting groove 121 along the width and thickness directions of the guide rib 115, thereby ensuring the accuracy of the placement of the fastener 12 on the middle ring 11.

[0056] In practical implementation, the guide rib 115 can be a sheet-like rib with a certain thickness, as shown in the reference. Figure 6 In the width direction indicated by the double arrows, along the width direction of guide rib 115, guide rib 115 is formed into a triangular rib structure (or wedge-shaped rib structure) that is narrow at the top and wide at the bottom; see reference. Figure 6 The thickness direction indicated by the double arrows is such that the top of the guide rib 115 is thin and the bottom is thick, and the thickness of the guide rib 115 gradually increases along the direction from the top to the bottom.

[0057] It should be understood that the guide rib 115 has a first end and a second end. The first end of the guide rib 115 is a free end, and the second end of the guide rib 115 is connected to the main body of the middle ring 11. In other words, the second end of the guide rib 115 is connected to the groove wall of the mounting groove 113 formed on the middle ring 11. The top of the guide rib 115 is also the first end of the guide rib 115, and the bottom of the guide rib 115 is also the second end of the guide rib 115.

[0058] For example, the top of the guide rib 115 has a width of 6mm and a thickness of 0.6mm, the bottom of the guide rib 115 has a width of 19mm and a thickness of 1.3mm, and the limiting groove 121 can be a strip groove adapted to the maximum width of the guide rib 115. The width direction of the limiting groove 121 corresponds to the width direction of the guide rib 115, and the width of the limiting groove 121 is 19.7mm. When the fixing member 12 is placed on the top of the guide rib 115, the gap between the limiting groove 121 on the fixing member 12 and the guide rib 115 is large, which makes it easy for the operator to operate and allows the guide rib 115 to be smoothly inserted into the guide groove. After the fixing member 12 is placed in place, the bottom of the guide rib 115 is limited and matched with the limiting groove 121 on the fixing member 12. The fixing member 12 is completely limited by the width of the bottom of the guide rib 115, which has a good guiding effect and ensures the accuracy of the placement of the fixing member 12 on the pot body 1.

[0059] In some embodiments, refer to Figure 7 , Figure 8 and Figure 9 As shown, the guide rib 115 is located on one side of the outer wall 111 of the mounting groove 113 near the middle ring 11.

[0060] In specific implementation, refer to Figure 8 , Figure 9 and Figure 11 As shown, a support groove for supporting the rotating shaft 31 can be provided on the bottom wall of the mounting groove 113. The support groove can be an arc groove (or a semi-circular groove). After the rotating shaft 31 is inserted into the shaft hole 114, it can be supported in the support groove. A notch 117 communicating with the shaft hole 114 can be provided on the outer wall 111 of the middle ring 11. The button plate 3 can be located entirely on the outer side of the middle ring 11. The rotating shaft 31 of the button plate 3 is inserted into the shaft hole 114 through the notch 117 on the outer wall 111 of the middle ring 11 and supported in the support groove, thereby realizing the installation of the rotating shaft 31 of the button plate 3 on the middle ring 11. Then, the fastener 12 is assembled. The fastener 12 can be provided with a mating groove corresponding to the support groove on the bottom wall of the mounting groove 113. The mating groove can be an arc groove (or a semi-circular groove) opposite to the groove opening of the support groove. By using the mating groove and the support groove, the rotating shaft 31 of the button plate 3 can be rotatably limited on the middle ring 11.

[0061] By setting the guide rib 115 to be located on the side of the outer wall 111 of the mounting groove 113 near the middle ring 11, the outer wall 111 of the middle ring 11 can be used as a guide when the fastener 12 is placed downward, thereby ensuring that the limiting groove 121 on the fastener 12 is better aligned with the guide rib 115 on the middle ring 11.

[0062] In some embodiments, refer to Figure 6 and Figure 9 As shown, a first reinforcing rib 118 connects the guide rib 115 and the outer wall 111 of the middle ring 11. In this way, the structural strength of the guide rib 115 can be enhanced.

[0063] In some embodiments, refer to Figure 5 , Figure 6 and Figure 9 As shown, a retaining rib 119 is provided on the side of the outer wall 111 of the mounting groove 113 away from the middle ring 11. That is, a retaining rib 119 is provided on the side of the mounting groove 113 near the inner wall 112 of the middle ring 11. The retaining rib 119 is used to cooperate with and limit the fixing member 12 on the side of the outer wall 111 away from the middle ring 11. In this way, the retaining rib 119 plays a role in repositioning, ensuring the accuracy of the installation position of the fixing member 12 on the middle ring 11.

[0064] To accommodate the baffle 119, a concave mating surface can be provided on the side of the fastener 12 away from the outer wall 111 of the middle ring 11, where the baffle 119 engages with the concave mating surface. This achieves both a positioning fit between the side of the fastener 12 away from the middle ring 11 and the baffle 119, and also saves material on this side of the fastener 12. For ease of assembly, a guide surface 1191 is formed on the baffle 119 to guide the fastener 12 into place; that is, the side of the baffle 119 facing the fastener 12 can be chamfered to provide a guiding function.

[0065] In some embodiments, refer to Figure 8 and Figure 10 As shown, the limiting groove 121 has a first groove wall and a second groove wall opposite to each other. A notch 1211 is formed on the second groove wall, which passes through one side wall of the fixing member 12. The second groove wall includes two groove wall segments 1212 located on both sides of the notch 1211 and extending towards each other.

[0066] This design allows the limiting groove 121 to be formed as a notched groove structure with a notch 1211, so that the guide rib 115 can be installed into the limiting groove 121 more smoothly; and the notch 1211 of the limiting groove 121 can avoid the first reinforcing rib 118 provided on the middle ring 11, so that when the guide rib 115 is inserted into the limiting groove 121, the first reinforcing rib 118 is inserted into the notch 1211 of the limiting groove 121.

[0067] In specific implementation, refer to Figure 8 and Figure 10 As shown, the limiting groove 121 can be a strip groove that matches the maximum width of the guide rib 115. The width direction of the limiting groove 121 corresponds to the width direction of the guide rib 115. The first groove wall and the second groove wall extend along the width direction of the limiting groove 121. That is, the notch 1211 is formed on the groove wall of the limiting groove 121 that extends along the width direction.

[0068] For example, the length of the groove wall segments 1212 on both sides of the notch 1211 is 2mm to 3mm. This size ensures that the groove wall segments 1212 on both sides of the notch 1211 provide good limiting for the guide rib 115. If this size is too long, it will be difficult to assemble. The width of the notch 1211 of the limiting groove 121 can be determined by the width of the limiting groove 121 and the length of the groove wall segments 1212 on both sides of the notch 1211. For example, the width of the limiting groove 121 is 19.7mm, and the length of the groove wall segments 1212 on both sides of the notch 1211 is 2mm to 3mm. Correspondingly, the width of the notch 1211 can be set to 14mm. The width of this notch 1211 should not be too small, otherwise the movement range of the fastener 12 will be restricted during assembly, which will not be conducive to the smooth assembly of the fastener 12 onto the pot body 1.

[0069] In some embodiments, refer to Figure 8 and Figure 10 As shown, a second reinforcing rib 123 is formed on the fastener 12, and the second reinforcing rib 123 is located at the notch 1211. In this way, the structural strength of the notch 1211 of the limiting groove 121 is enhanced by the second reinforcing rib 123.

[0070] In a specific implementation, the second reinforcing rib 123 can be set on the surface of the fastener 12 facing away from the guide rib 115, and the second reinforcing rib 123 can be integrally injection molded with the fastener 12. Specifically, at the parting surface joint between the second reinforcing rib 123 and the main body of the fastener 12, the glue thickness on one side can be reduced by 0.1mm to prevent burrs on the parting surface. If the burrs on the parting surface are too large, it will directly affect the assembly.

[0071] In some embodiments, refer to Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, there are two button plates 3, which are installed on the left and right sides of the middle ring 11 respectively. Correspondingly, there are two fasteners 12, which are set one-to-one with the two button plates 3 and are connected to the middle ring 11 respectively, so as to rotatably limit the two button plates 3 on the middle ring 11 respectively.

[0072] In practice, the two fasteners 12 and the middle ring 11 can be assembled using the above structure, thereby improving the assembly efficiency of the cooking utensils.

[0073] In some embodiments, refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 12 As shown, one end of the button plate 3 has a pivot portion 31, and the button plate 3 is rotatably connected to the pot body 1 through the pivot portion 31. The other end of the button plate 3 has a raised portion 32, so that a gap is formed between the button plate 3 and the cover body 2 when the button plate 3 is fastened to the cover body 2.

[0074] This design creates a gap between the raised portion 32 of the button plate 3 and the cover 2 when the button plate 3 is attached to the cover 2. This allows the user to insert their fingers into the gap when they pry the button plate 3 to open the cover, thus increasing the contact area between the fingers and the button plate 3. This makes opening the cover easier and more convenient, solving the problem of the small gap between the button plate 3 and the cover 2, which makes it difficult to open the button plate 3.

[0075] In some embodiments, refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the cooker body 1 includes a base 13 and a socket cover 15. The middle ring 11 is installed above the base 13, and the socket cover 15 is installed on the base 13 to serve as a waterproofing device to prevent water from flowing into the socket and posing a safety hazard.

[0076] Among them, reference Figures 13 to 18 As shown, a buckle 151 is formed on the socket cover 15, and a latching part 131 is formed on the base 13. The buckle 151 is latched onto the latching part 131. An anti-detachment rib 132 is formed on the base 13. The anti-detachment rib 132 is located on the side of the buckle 151 facing away from the latching part 131, and a mating gap is formed between it and the buckle 151.

[0077] This design allows the socket cover 15 and the base 13 to be fixed together by means of a snap fastener 151, and the anti-detachment rib 132 prevents the snap fastener 151 from springing back under force, thereby ensuring the firmness of the fit between the snap fastener 151 and the latching part 131 and solving the problem that the snap fastener 151 will spring back and fall off when the socket cover 15 is subjected to force.

[0078] In specific implementations, the anti-detachment rib 132 can be a rib structure with a certain deformation capability. For example, the anti-detachment rib 132 can be set as a 7-shaped structure, with the lower part of the 7-shaped structure connected to the main body of the socket cover 15, and the upper part of the 7-shaped structure forming a cantilever extending toward the fastening part 131.

[0079] During assembly, as the buckle 151 engages with the latching part 131, a certain squeezing force can be applied to the anti-detachment rib 132 in the direction away from the latching part 131. After the buckle 151 engages with the latching part 131, a certain fitting gap is formed between the buckle 151 and the anti-detachment rib 132, so that when it is necessary to disassemble the socket cover 15, the buckle 151 can be removed from the latching part 131 by applying external force.

[0080] In some embodiments, refer to Figure 14 and Figure 18 As shown, the socket cover 15 is installed on the outer bottom of the base 13. The base 13 is provided with an insertion hole 133. The buckle 151 on the socket cover 15 passes through the insertion hole 133 and extends to the inner side of the base 13. The latching part 131 and the anti-detachment rib 132 are arranged opposite to each other on both sides of the insertion hole 133, and an installation gap is formed between the latching part 131 and the anti-detachment rib 132 for the buckle 151 to be inserted. After the buckle 151 passes through the insertion hole 133, it squeezes the anti-detachment rib 132, causing the anti-detachment rib 132 to deform in the direction away from the latching part 131. The installation gap between the anti-detachment rib 132 and the latching part 131 becomes larger, so that the buckle 151 can be smoothly engaged with the latching part 131. After the buckle 151 is engaged with the latching part 131, the anti-detachment rib 132 returns to its state before deformation and forms a certain fitting gap with the buckle 151.

[0081] In some embodiments, refer to Figures 15 to 18As shown, there are two latches 151, which are arranged opposite each other; two locking parts 131 are located on the side of the two latches 151 away from each other, and two anti-detachment ribs 132 are located on the side of the two latches 151 close to each other. This arrangement ensures that the socket cover 15 is securely mounted on the base 13 by engaging the two latches 151 with their corresponding locking parts 131.
