Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of cooking utensil technology, and more specifically, to a lid and a cooking utensil. Background Technology
[0002] Users typically use steamers to steam food. Specifically, water is added to the steamer, heated, and the heated water creates high-temperature steam, which is then used to steam the food. The steamer lid consists of a lid body and a handle, with the handle extending along the height of the steamer. When the handle is grasped to open the lid, the lid slides upwards, causing a large amount of steam to rush towards the user from multiple directions simultaneously. This can easily result in burns, leading to a poor user experience. Utility Model Content
[0003] This application aims to address at least one of the technical problems existing in the prior art or related technologies.
[0004] Therefore, the first aspect of this application proposes a cover.
[0005] The second aspect of this application proposes a cooking utensil.
[0006] In view of the above, a first aspect of this application provides a lid for a cooking utensil, comprising: a lid body, the outer surface of which includes a top surface, the top surface including a first connecting surface and a second connecting surface connected together, the first connecting surface extending along a first direction and the second connecting surface extending along a second direction, the first direction being different from the second direction; and a handle disposed on the top surface, at least a portion of which extends along the first direction.
[0007] This application provides a lid for cooking utensils, the lid comprising a lid body and a handle.
[0008] The outer surface of the lid body includes the top surface. It is understood that the cooking utensil includes a lid and a pot body, with the lid positioned on top of the pot body. The outer surface of the lid body facing away from the pot body is the top surface.
[0009] The top surface includes a first connecting surface and a second connecting surface, which are connected. The handle is connected to the top surface. That is, the cover body serves as the mounting carrier for the handle, functioning to install and secure it. The user grasps the handle and uses it to lift and place the cover body.
[0010] The fit between the cover body and the handle is defined such that the first connecting surface extends along a first direction, and the second connecting surface extends along a second direction. The first connecting surface and the second connecting surface extend in different directions, that is, the first connecting surface and the second connecting surface are not on the same plane. The handle extends along the first direction.
[0011] The extension direction of the handle matches the extension directions of the first and second connecting surfaces, so that when the lid is lifted from the side by the handle during or immediately after cooking, the lid will flip and tilt upwards. At this time, the steam inside the pot will diffuse outwards through the tilted side of the lid, thus achieving directional release of steam from the pot and preventing the large-area steam from rushing towards the user as in related technologies. This reduces the risk of the user being scalded by high-temperature steam.
[0012] At the same time, when the lid is opened, the lid body tilts up, and the inner surface of the tilted lid body has a guiding effect, allowing condensation to slide down along the inner surface of the lid body. This reduces the amount of condensation dripping onto the food, ensuring the taste of the food during cooking, and helps improve the product's performance and market competitiveness.
[0013] The cover body described above in this application may also have the following additional technical features:
[0014] In some embodiments, the handle is optionally connected to the connection between the first connecting surface and the second connecting surface, and the portion of the handle extending along the first direction is opposite to and spaced apart from the second connecting surface.
[0015] In this embodiment, the mating structure of the handle, the first connecting surface, and the second connecting surface is further defined.
[0016] The handle connects to the first and second connecting surfaces, with the portion of the handle extending in the first direction opposite to and spaced apart from the second connecting surface. This spaced-apart portion of the handle forms the grip, making it easier for the user to grasp and use to pick up or put down the lid. This design shifts the handle's center of gravity relative to the lid, causing the lid to tilt and rise when picked up or put down, thus reducing the risk of burns from high-temperature steam.
[0017] In some embodiments, the handle may be a sheet-like structure, and the length of the handle in a first direction is less than the length of the handle in a third direction.
[0018] In this embodiment, the handle structure is further defined such that the handle is a sheet-like structure, and the length of the handle in the first direction is less than the length of the handle in the third direction. That is, the handle is a sheet-like structure with a larger length in the third direction and a smaller length in the first direction. The user cannot fully grasp the handle, but can only lift the cover body by grasping a part of the handle or the edge of the handle, thus making better use of the cover body for flipping.
[0019] In some embodiments, optionally, the plane containing the second connecting surface is a reference plane, and the handle is projected onto the reference plane in a direction perpendicular to the reference plane; the ratio of the length of the handle's projection in the second direction to the length of the second connecting surface in the second direction is less than or equal to 2 / 3; the ratio of the length of the handle's projection in the third direction to the length of the connection between the first connecting surface and the second connecting surface in the third direction is greater than or equal to 1 / 4 and less than or equal to 1.
[0020] In this embodiment, the structure of the handle is further defined such that the ratio of the length of the handle's projection in the second direction to the length of the second connecting surface in the second direction is less than or equal to 2 / 3; the ratio of the length of the handle's projection in the third direction to the length of the connection between the first connecting surface and the second connecting surface in the third direction is greater than or equal to 1 / 4 and less than or equal to 1.
[0021] That is, the handle is a structure with a longer length in the third direction and a shorter length in the second direction. The user cannot hold the handle completely, but can only lift the cover body by holding a part of the handle or the edge of the handle, thus making better use of the cover body to flip it over.
[0022] For example, the ratio of the length of the handle's projection in the second direction to the length of the second connecting surface in the second direction is less than or equal to 2 / 3. The length of the handle's projection in the second direction is d1, and the length of the second connecting surface in the second direction is d2, where d1 / d2 ≤ 2 / 3. Specifically, 1 / 5 ≤ d1 / d2 ≤ 1 / 2. Optionally, d1 / d2 = 1 / 4, d1 / d2 = 1 / 3, etc., are not listed here.
[0023] For example, the ratio of the length of the handle's projection in the third direction to the length of the connection point between the first and second connecting surfaces in the third direction is greater than or equal to 1 / 4 and less than or equal to 1. The length of the handle's projection in the third direction is d3, and the length of the connection point between the first and second connecting surfaces in the third direction is d4, where 1 / 4 ≤ d3 / d4 ≤ 1. Optionally, d3 / d4 = 1 / 3, d3 / d4 = 1 / 2, etc., are not listed here.
[0024] The plane containing the second connecting surface is the reference plane. The hand is projected onto the reference plane in a direction perpendicular to the reference plane.
[0025] In some embodiments, the portion of the handle extending along the first direction may be a strip-shaped portion; or the portion of the handle extending along the first direction may be an arc-shaped portion.
[0026] In this embodiment, the structure of the handle is further defined.
[0027] The part of the handle extending along the first direction is either a strip or an arc. That is, the part of the handle extending along the first direction is not a gentle extension, but a sharp extension, which better meets the user's need to flip the cover body and tilt it up when the cover body is lifted by the handle.
[0028] In some embodiments, the outer peripheral wall of the cover body may optionally include a plurality of connecting walls connected end to end in sequence, the plurality of connecting walls including a first connecting wall and a second connecting wall disposed opposite to each other, and the handle being located between the first connecting wall and the second connecting wall.
[0029] In this embodiment, the positional relationship between the cover body and the handle is further defined.
[0030] The outer perimeter of the cover body includes multiple connecting walls connected end to end. These connecting walls are categorized into first connecting walls and second connecting walls, which are arranged opposite each other and spaced apart. The handle is located between the first and second connecting walls, rather than being positioned opposite the corner where two adjacent connecting walls meet.
[0031] In some embodiments, the handle may optionally have a grip hole.
[0032] In this embodiment, the handle is provided with a grip hole, into which the user's hand is inserted to take or put the cover body.
[0033] Hold the handle through the grip hole and lift the lid upwards; the lid will tilt upwards. At this time, the steam inside the pot will diffuse outwards through the tilted side of the lid, thus achieving directional release of steam from the pot.
[0034] At the same time, this design helps to reduce the contact area between the user's hand and the handle, which helps to reduce the probability of the user's hand coming into contact with high-temperature steam, thereby improving the safety and reliability of the product.
[0035] In some embodiments, the cover body may optionally have an exhaust port located between the outer edge of the second connecting surface and the portion of the second connecting surface opposite to the handle.
[0036] In this embodiment, the positional relationship between the exhaust port and the handle is further defined.
[0037] The exhaust port is located between the outer edge of the second connecting surface and the portion of the second connecting surface opposite to the handle. That is, the portion of the second connecting surface opposite to the handle is located on one side of the exhaust port.
[0038] This design prevents steam from flowing towards the handle when the user holds it, meaning the steam from the exhaust port will not directly affect the user's hand, further reducing the possibility of burns.
[0039] In some embodiments, optionally, a portion of the top surface is a first light-transmitting surface, and the portion of the inner surface of the cover body opposite to the first light-transmitting surface is a second light-transmitting surface; wherein light passes through the second light-transmitting surface via the first light-transmitting surface.
[0040] In this embodiment, the structure of the cover body is further defined.
[0041] A portion of the top surface is a first light-transmitting surface, and the portion of the inner surface of the cover body opposite the first light-transmitting surface is a second light-transmitting surface. That is, the first light-transmitting surface and the second light-transmitting surface are arranged opposite each other.
[0042] Light can pass through the first translucent surface, and light can also pass through the second translucent surface.
[0043] That is, light passes through the second light-transmitting surface after passing through the first light-transmitting surface.
[0044] Therefore, when the lid is placed on the pot body, the condition of the pot body can be observed through the first and second light-transmitting surfaces. In other words, the cooking status of the food can be observed through these surfaces, allowing users to understand the current state of the food. Furthermore, the first and second light-transmitting surfaces can be understood as viewing windows. This design prevents users from placing the lid upside down during operation, which would negatively impact the opening experience and improve the product's usability.
[0045] In some embodiments, the first connecting surface may optionally be a first light-transmitting surface.
[0046] In this embodiment, the structure of the cover body is further defined.
[0047] The first connecting surface is the first light-transmitting surface.
[0048] It is understandable that when the lid is placed on the pot body, the first connecting surface is closer to the user and the second connecting surface is farther away from the user.
[0049] The first connecting surface is translucent, serving as a transparent window. This design is more in line with user habits, allowing users to observe the cooking status of the food from the front of the lid.
[0050] In some embodiments, the inner surface of the cover body may optionally include a bottom surface opposite to the top surface; and the position of the middle part of the bottom surface is higher than the position of the outer edge of the bottom surface along the direction from the bottom surface to the top surface.
[0051] In this embodiment, the structure of the cover body is further defined.
[0052] The inner surface of the cover body includes the bottom surface, which is opposite to the top surface.
[0053] By defining the shape of the base, the center of the base is positioned higher than the outer edge. In other words, the portion of the base from its center to its outer edge is arranged downwards, and the shape of the base serves to guide airflow.
[0054] When the cooking appliance is in operation, condensation forms on the bottom surface of the lid. The condensation then slides down the bottom surface to the outer edge, reducing the amount of condensation on the inner surface of the lid. This reduces the amount of condensation dripping onto the food when the lid is opened, ensuring the food's texture and flavor, and improving the product's performance and market competitiveness.
[0055] In some embodiments, the bottom surface may optionally include a first mating surface and a second mating surface, the first mating surface and the second mating surface being arranged in an angular shape.
[0056] In this embodiment, the shape of the bottom surface is further defined.
[0057] The bottom surface includes a first mating surface and a second mating surface, which are arranged in an angular shape. Along the middle of the bottom surface to its outer edge, the distance from the first mating surface to the opening of the pot body gradually decreases, as does the distance from the second mating surface to the opening of the pot body. This design allows condensate to slide off along the first and second mating surfaces, preventing it from dripping onto the food and affecting its texture.
[0058] In some embodiments, the arrangement shape of the first connecting surface and the second connecting surface is optionally the same as the arrangement shape of the first mating surface and the second mating surface.
[0059] In this embodiment, the mating structure of the top and bottom surfaces is further defined.
[0060] The first mating surface and the second mating surface are arranged in an angle, and the first connecting surface and the second connecting surface are also arranged in an angle.
[0061] Along the middle of the bottom surface to the outer edge of the bottom surface, the distance from the first mating surface to the pot body gradually decreases, the distance from the second mating surface to the pot body gradually decreases, the distance from the first connecting surface to the pot body gradually decreases, and the distance from the second connecting surface to the pot body gradually decreases.
[0062] In other words, the shape of the top surface matches the shape of the bottom surface. This design helps to improve the aesthetics of the cover.
[0063] The second aspect of this application provides a cooking utensil, comprising: a pot body; and a lid as described in the first aspect, the lid being detachably disposed on the pot body.
[0064] The cooking utensil provided in this application includes a pot body and a lid as described in the first aspect. Since it includes a lid as described in the first aspect, it has all the beneficial effects of the aforementioned lid, which will not be described in detail here.
[0065] In some embodiments, the pot body may optionally have a control panel on its side, with the handle facing one side of the control panel or the handle facing the opposite side of the control panel.
[0066] In this embodiment, the pot body and the lid body are fitted together.
[0067] Specifically, the positional relationship between the control panel and the handle is defined. The control panel is located on the side of the pot body, with the handle facing either the side of the control panel or the opposite side of the control panel.
[0068] The functions of cooking appliances can be adjusted via the control panel.
[0069] Additional aspects and advantages of this application will become apparent in the following description or may be learned by practice of this application. Attached Figure Description

[0086] To better understand the above-mentioned objectives, features, and advantages of this application, the application will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in these embodiments can be combined with each other.
[0087] Many specific details are set forth in the following description in order to provide a full understanding of this application. However, this application may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein. Therefore, the scope of protection of this application is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.
[0088] The following reference Figures 1 to 13 The cover 10 and cooking appliance 30 of some embodiments of this application are described.
[0089] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 , Figure 8 , Figure 9 , Figure 10 , Figure 11 and Figure 12 As shown, a cover 10 according to some embodiments of this application is used for a cooking utensil 30, including: a cover body 100, the outer surface of the cover body 100 including a top surface 110, the top surface 110 including a first connecting surface 112 and a second connecting surface 114 connected to each other, the first connecting surface 112 extending along a first direction, the second connecting surface 114 extending along a second direction, the first direction being different from the second direction; and a handle 200 disposed on the top surface 110, at least a portion of the handle 200 extending along the first direction.
[0090] This application provides a lid 10 for a cooking utensil 30, the lid 10 including a lid body 100 and a handle 200.
[0091] The outer surface of the lid body 100 includes a top surface 110. It is understood that the cooking utensil 30 includes a lid body 10 and a pot body 300, with the lid body 10 disposed on the pot body 300. The outer surface of the lid body 100 facing away from the pot body 300 is the top surface 110.
[0092] The top surface 110 includes a first connecting surface 112 and a second connecting surface 114, which are connected. The handle 200 is connected to the top surface 110. That is, the cover body 100 serves as the mounting carrier for the handle 200, and has the function of installing and fixing the handle 200. The user grasps the handle 200 and uses the handle 200 to take off and put down the cover body 100.
[0093] The mating structure of the cover body 100 and the handle 200 is defined such that the first connecting surface 112 extends along a first direction, and the second connecting surface 114 extends along a second direction. The first connecting surface 112 and the second connecting surface 114 extend in different directions, that is, the first connecting surface 112 and the second connecting surface 114 are not on the same plane. The handle 200 extends along the first direction.
[0094] The extension direction of the handle 200 matches the extension direction of the first connecting surface 112 and the second connecting surface 114, so that when the lid body 100 is lifted upwards from the side by the handle 200 during or immediately after cooking, the lid body 100 will flip and tilt upwards. At this time, the steam inside the pot body 300 of the cooking appliance 30 will diffuse outwards through the tilted side of the lid body 100, that is, the steam inside the pot body 300 is directionally discharged, preventing the large area of steam from rushing towards the user as in related technologies. This reduces the risk of the user being scalded by high-temperature steam.
[0095] Meanwhile, when the lid 10 is opened, the lid body 100 tilts and rises. The inner surface of the tilted lid body 100 has a guiding effect, which allows condensed water to slide down along the inner surface of the lid body 100, reducing the amount of condensed water dripping onto the food, ensuring the taste of the food during cooking, and helping to improve the product's performance and market competitiveness.
[0096] In some embodiments, the handle 200 is optionally connected to the connection between the first connecting surface 112 and the second connecting surface 114, and the portion of the handle 200 extending along the first direction is opposite to and spaced apart from the second connecting surface 114.
[0097] In this embodiment, the mating structure of the handle 200, the first connecting surface 112, and the second connecting surface 114 is further defined.
[0098] The handle 200 is connected to the first connecting surface 112 and the second connecting surface 114 at the connection point. The portion of the handle 200 extending in the first direction is opposite to and spaced apart from the second connecting surface 114. It can be understood that the portion of the handle 200 opposite to and spaced apart from the second connecting surface 114 constitutes the grip portion 210 of the handle 200, making it easier for the user's hand to grasp the grip portion 210 and use it to pick up or put down the cover body 100. This arrangement shifts the center of gravity of the handle 200 relative to the cover body 100. Therefore, when picking up or putting down the cover body 100 using the handle 200, the cover body 100 will tilt and rise, which helps reduce the risk of the user being burned by high-temperature steam.
[0099] In some embodiments, the handle 200 is optionally a sheet-like structure, and the length of the handle 200 in the first direction is less than the length of the handle 200 in the third direction.
[0100] In this embodiment, the structure of the handle 200 is further defined such that the handle 200 is a sheet-like structure, and the length of the handle 200 in the first direction is less than the length of the handle 200 in the third direction. That is, the handle 200 is a sheet-like structure with a larger length in the third direction and a smaller length in the first direction. The user cannot fully grasp the handle 200, but can only lift the cover body 100 by grasping a part of the handle 200 or the edge of the handle 200, thus making better use of the cover body 100 for flipping.
[0101] In some embodiments, optionally, the plane containing the second connecting surface 114 is a reference plane, and the handle 200 is projected onto the reference plane in a direction perpendicular to the reference plane; the ratio of the length of the projection of the handle 200 in the second direction to the length of the second connecting surface 114 in the second direction is less than or equal to 2 / 3; the ratio of the length of the projection of the handle 200 in the third direction to the length of the connection between the first connecting surface 112 and the second connecting surface 114 in the third direction is greater than or equal to 1 / 4 and less than or equal to 1.
[0102] In this embodiment, the structure of the handle 200 is further defined such that the ratio of the length of the projection of the handle 200 in the second direction to the length of the second connecting surface 114 in the second direction is less than or equal to 2 / 3; the ratio of the length of the projection of the handle 200 in the third direction to the length of the connection between the first connecting surface 112 and the second connecting surface 114 in the third direction is greater than or equal to 1 / 4 and less than or equal to 1.
[0103] That is, the handle 200 is a structure with a larger length in the third direction and a smaller length in the second direction. The user cannot hold the handle 200 completely, but can only lift the cover body 100 by holding a part of the handle 200 or the edge of the handle 200, thus making better use of the cover body 100 to flip.
[0104] For example, the ratio of the length of the projection of the handle 200 in the second direction to the length of the second connecting surface 114 in the second direction is less than or equal to 2 / 3. The length of the projection of the handle 200 in the second direction is d1, and the length of the second connecting surface 114 in the second direction is d2, where d1 / d2 ≤ 2 / 3. Specifically, 1 / 5 ≤ d1 / d2 ≤ 1 / 2. Optionally, d1 / d2 = 1 / 4, d1 / d2 = 1 / 3, etc., are not listed here.
[0105] For example, the ratio of the length of the projection of the handle 200 in the third direction to the length of the connection point of the first connecting surface 112 and the second connecting surface 114 in the third direction is greater than or equal to 1 / 4 and less than or equal to 1. The length of the projection of the handle 200 in the third direction is d3, and the length of the connection point of the first connecting surface 112 and the second connecting surface 114 in the third direction is d4, where 1 / 4 ≤ d3 / d4 ≤ 1. Optionally, d3 / d4 = 1 / 3, d3 / d4 = 1 / 2, etc., are not listed here.
[0106] Among them, the plane where the second connecting surface 114 is located is the reference plane, and the handle 200 is projected onto the reference plane along the direction perpendicular to the reference plane.
[0107] In some embodiments, the portion of the handle 200 extending along the first direction may be a strip-shaped portion; or the portion of the handle 200 extending along the first direction may be an arc-shaped portion.
[0108] In this embodiment, the structure of the handle 200 is further defined.
[0109] The portion of the handle 200 extending along the first direction is either a strip or an arc. That is, the portion of the handle 200 extending along the first direction is not a gentle extension, but a sharp extension. This better meets the user's need for the cover body 100 to flip and tilt upwards when the cover body 100 is lifted by the handle 200.
[0110] In some embodiments, optionally, such as Figure 3 As shown, the outer peripheral wall of the cover body 100 includes a plurality of connecting walls 140 connected end to end in sequence. The plurality of connecting walls 140 include a first connecting wall 140a and a second connecting wall 140b arranged opposite to each other, and the handle 200 is located between the first connecting wall 140a and the second connecting wall 140b.
[0111] In this embodiment, the positional relationship between the cover body 100 and the handle 200 is further defined.
[0112] The outer peripheral wall of the cover body 100 includes multiple connecting walls 140 connected end to end. These connecting walls 140 are categorized into first connecting walls 140a and second connecting walls 140b, which are arranged opposite each other and spaced apart. A handle 200 is located between the first connecting walls 140a and second connecting walls 140b. The handle 200 is positioned opposite to the corner where two adjacent connecting walls 140 are joined.
[0113] In some embodiments, optionally, such as Figure 9 and Figure 10 As shown, the handle 200 is provided with a grip hole 212.
[0114] In this embodiment, the handle 200 is provided with a grip hole 212, into which the user's hand is inserted to take or put the cover body 100.
[0115] When you hold the handle 200 through the grip hole 212 and lift the lid body 100 upwards, the lid body 100 will tilt and rise. At this time, the steam inside the pot body 300 of the cooking appliance 30 will diffuse outwards through the tilted side of the lid body 100, that is, the steam inside the pot body 300 is directionally released.
[0116] At the same time, this design helps to reduce the contact area between the user's hand and the handle 200, which helps to reduce the probability of the user's hand coming into contact with high-temperature steam, thereby improving the safety and reliability of the product.
[0117] In some embodiments, optionally, such as Figure 2 and Figure 10 As shown, the cover body 100 is provided with an exhaust port 118, which is located between the outer edge 1142 of the second connecting surface and the portion of the second connecting surface 114 that is opposite to the handle 200.
[0118] In this embodiment, the positional relationship between the exhaust port 118 and the handle 200 is further defined.
[0119] The exhaust port 118 is located between the outer edge 1142 of the second connecting surface and the portion of the second connecting surface 114 opposite to the handle 200. That is, the portion of the second connecting surface 114 opposite to the handle 200 is located on one side of the exhaust port 118.
[0120] This design ensures that when the user holds the handle 200, the steam discharged through the exhaust port 118 will not flow to the handle 200. In other words, the steam discharged through the exhaust port 118 will not directly act on the user's hand, further reducing the possibility of the user's hand being burned.
[0121] In some embodiments, optionally, such as Figure 9 and Figure 12 As shown, a portion of the top surface 110 is a first light-transmitting surface 116, and the portion of the inner surface of the cover body 100 opposite to the first light-transmitting surface 116 is a second light-transmitting surface 120; wherein, light passes through the first light-transmitting surface 116 and then through the second light-transmitting surface 120.
[0122] In this embodiment, the structure of the cover body 100 is further defined.
[0123] A portion of the top surface 110 is a first light-transmitting surface 116, and the portion of the inner surface of the cover body 100 opposite to the first light-transmitting surface 116 is a second light-transmitting surface 120. That is, the first light-transmitting surface 116 and the second light-transmitting surface 120 are arranged opposite to each other.
[0124] Light can pass through the first light-transmitting surface 116, and light can also pass through the second light-transmitting surface 120.
[0125] That is, light passes through the first light-transmitting surface 116 and then through the second light-transmitting surface 120.
[0126] Therefore, when the lid 10 is placed on the pot body 300, the condition of the pot body 300 can be observed through the first light-transmitting surface 116 and the second light-transmitting surface 120. In other words, the cooking status of the food can be observed through the first light-transmitting surface 116 and the second light-transmitting surface 120, allowing the user to understand the current state of the food. Simultaneously, the first light-transmitting surface 116 and the second light-transmitting surface 120 can be understood as viewing windows. This design prevents the user from placing the lid 10 upside down during operation, thus avoiding a poor opening experience and improving the product's usability.
[0127] In some embodiments, the first connecting surface 112 may be the first light-transmitting surface 116.
[0128] In this embodiment, the structure of the cover body 100 is further defined.
[0129] The first connecting surface 112 is the first light-transmitting surface 116.
[0130] It is understandable that when the lid 10 is placed on the pot body 300, the first connecting surface 112 is closer to the user and the second connecting surface 114 is farther away from the user.
[0131] The first connecting surface 112 is light-transmitting and functions as a transparent window. This design is more in line with user habits, allowing users to observe the cooking status of the food from the front of the cover 10.
[0132] In some embodiments, the inner surface of the cover body 100 may include a bottom surface 130, which is opposite to the top surface 110; along the direction from the bottom surface 130 to the top surface 110, the position of the middle part of the bottom surface 130 is higher than the position of the outer edge of the bottom surface 130.
[0133] In this embodiment, the structure of the cover body 100 is further defined.
[0134] The inner surface of the cover body 100 includes a bottom surface 130, which is opposite to the top surface 110.
[0135] By defining the shape of the bottom surface 130, the position of the middle part of the bottom surface 130 is higher than the position of the outer edge of the bottom surface 130. That is, the portion from the middle part of the bottom surface 130 to the outer edge of the bottom surface 130 is arranged downwards, and the shape of the bottom surface 130 has a guiding function.
[0136] When the cooking appliance 30 is in operation, condensation forms on the bottom surface 130 of the lid body 100. The condensation will slide down the bottom surface 130 at an angle to the outer edge of the bottom surface 130. In other words, it will reduce the amount of condensation on the inner surface of the lid body 100. Thus, when the lid body 10 is opened, it will reduce the amount of condensation dripping onto the food, ensuring the taste of the food after cooking, and helping to improve the performance and market competitiveness of the product.
[0137] In some embodiments, optionally, such as Figure 13 As shown, the bottom surface 130 includes a first mating surface 132 and a second mating surface 134, which are arranged in an angular shape.
[0138] In this embodiment, the shape of the bottom surface 130 is further defined.
[0139] The bottom surface 130 includes a first mating surface 132 and a second mating surface 134, which are arranged in an angular shape. Along the middle of the bottom surface 130 to its outer edge, the distance from the first mating surface 132 to the opening of the pot body 300 gradually decreases, as does the distance from the second mating surface 134 to the opening of the pot body 300. This arrangement allows condensate to slide down the first and second mating surfaces 132 and 134, preventing it from dripping onto the food and affecting its texture.
[0140] In some embodiments, the arrangement shape of the first connecting surface 112 and the second connecting surface 114 is optionally the same as the arrangement shape of the first mating surface 132 and the second mating surface 134.
[0141] In this embodiment, the mating structure of the top surface 110 and the bottom surface 130 is further defined.
[0142] The first mating surface 132 and the second mating surface 134 are arranged in an angle, and the first connecting surface 112 and the second connecting surface 114 are also arranged in an angle.
[0143] Along the middle of the bottom surface 130 to the outer edge of the bottom surface 130, the distance from the first mating surface 132 to the pot body 300 gradually decreases, the distance from the second mating surface 134 to the pot body 300 gradually decreases, the distance from the first connecting surface 112 to the pot body 300 gradually decreases, and the distance from the second connecting surface 114 to the pot body 300 gradually decreases.
[0144] In other words, the shape of the top surface 110 matches the shape of the bottom surface 130. This arrangement helps to improve the aesthetic appearance of the cover 10.
[0145] like Figure 12 As shown, the cooking appliance 30 also includes a steamer 320, a base 330, and a steam generator 400.
[0146] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 , Figure 7 , Figure 8 , Figure 9 , Figure 10 and Figure 11 As shown, a cooking appliance 30 according to some embodiments of this application includes: a pot body 300; and a lid 10 as described in any of the above embodiments, the lid 10 being detachably disposed on the pot body 300.
[0147] The cooking utensil 30 provided in this application includes a pot body 300 and a lid 10 of any of the above embodiments. Since it includes the lid 10 of any of the above embodiments, it has all the beneficial effects of the lid 10, which will not be described one by one here.
[0148] In some embodiments, optionally, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 7 , Figure 8 , Figure 9 , Figure 10 and Figure 11 As shown, the side of the pot body 300 is provided with a control panel 310, and the handle 200 faces the side of the control panel 310 or the opposite side of the control panel 310.
[0149] In this embodiment, the pot body 300 and the lid body 10 are fitted together.
[0150] Specifically, the positional relationship between the control panel 310 and the handle 200 is defined. The control panel 310 is located on the side of the pot body 300, and the handle 200 faces either the side of the control panel 310 or the opposite side of the control panel 310.
[0151] The functions of the cooking appliance 30 can be adjusted via the control panel 310.
[0152] Optionally, when the lid 10 is placed on the pot body 300, the first connecting surface 112 is closer to the user, and the second connecting surface 114 is farther away from the user. In this way, when the lid 10 is lifted, the lid body 100 will tilt upwards. At this time, the steam inside the pot body 300 will diffuse outwards through the tilted side of the lid body 100 (i.e., tilted away from the user), and the steam will not diffuse towards the user, thus further reducing the possibility of scalding the user.
[0153] In some other embodiments, the second connecting surface 114 is the first light-transmitting surface 116.
[0154] In some other embodiments, the first connecting surface 112 and the second connecting surface 114 are both the first light-transmitting surface 116.
[0155] Optionally, the first connecting surface 112 and the second connecting surface 114 are arranged in an angle, and the extension direction of the handle 200 is the same as the extension direction of the first connecting surface 112, thereby enhancing the aesthetic appearance of the cover 10.
[0156] The pot body 300 has a control panel 310 on its side, and the outer surface of the lid body 100 also includes a side surface, which connects to the outer edge of the top surface 110. The first connecting surface 112 is located between the second connecting surface 114 and the part of the side surface that is opposite to the control panel 310. That is, when the cooking utensil 30 is placed on the platform, along the direction from the lid body 10 to the pot body 300, in the orthographic projection of the cooking utensil 30 onto the platform, the first connecting surface 112 is located between the second connecting surface 114 and the control panel 310.
[0157] The user's position is positioned relative to the control panel 310, or in other words, the first connecting surface 112 is located between the user and the second connecting surface 114. When the lid body 100 is lifted upwards by the handle 200, due to the shift in the center of gravity of the handle 200 relative to the lid body 100, and the fact that the handle 200 is positioned relative to the second connecting surface 114 where the vent 118 is located, the first connecting surface 112 moves downwards and the second connecting surface 114 moves upwards, meaning the lid body 100 tilts upwards. At this time, the steam inside the pot body 300 of the cooking appliance 30 diffuses outwards through the tilted side of the lid body 100, meaning the steam inside the pot body 300 diffuses outwards away from the user's position, with less steam diffusing towards the user's position. This reduces the risk of the user being scalded by high-temperature steam.
[0158] Understandably, the control panel 310 serves to switch cooking appliances 30. The control panel 310 includes at least one of buttons or knobs.
[0159] Optionally, such as Figure 4 As shown, the cooking appliance 30 includes a lid 10 and a pot body 300. The pot body 300 includes a base 330, a steamer 320, and a control panel 310. The control panel 310 includes an interactive interface. The lid 10 includes a lid body 100 and a handle 200.
[0160] The lid 10 is placed on top of the pot body 300 (e.g., the pot body 300 includes a steamer). The inner surface of the lid body 100 is designed with a slope (e.g., the inner surface of the lid body 100 includes a bottom surface 130, which is opposite to the top surface 110. The middle of the bottom surface 130 is higher than the outer edge of the bottom surface 130. The bottom surface 130 includes a first mating surface 132 and a second mating surface 134, which are arranged in an angle). During the heating of the food, the condensed water slides down the slope to both sides of the lid body 100. When the handle 200 is lifted, the rear of the lid body 100 will tilt up and the front will drop down. The high-temperature steam inside the pot body 300 will come out from the rear, thereby reducing the risk of the user being burned by the high-temperature steam. The condensed water will also slide down the slope (i.e., the first mating surface 132 and the second mating surface 134) and will not drip onto the food, affecting the taste.
[0161] like Figure 9 As shown, a portion of the top surface 110 of the lid body 100 is a first light-transmitting surface 116. Specifically, the first light-transmitting surface 116 is located in front of the lid body 100 to prevent the user from placing the lid body 10 upside down during operation, which would result in a poor opening experience, and at the same time, it makes it easier for the user to observe the cooking status of the food.
[0162] The design of the lid 10 with the front and rear eccentric handles 200 allows high-temperature steam to come out from the rear when the lid 10 is picked up, preventing users from being scalded by steam. Condensed water will also slide down the slope and will not drip onto the food, thus affecting the taste of the food.
[0163] The cover 10 has a single-sided viewing window located at the front (i.e., the first connecting surface 112 of the cover body 100 is the first light-transmitting surface 116), which prevents the user from placing the cover 10 upside down and affecting the opening experience.
[0164] The outer surface of the lid body 100 includes a top surface 110. It is understood that the cooking utensil 30 includes a lid body 10 and a pot body 300, with the lid body 10 disposed on the pot body 300. The outer surface of the lid body 100 facing away from the pot body 300 is the top surface 110.
[0165] The top surface 110 includes a first connecting surface 112 and a second connecting surface 114. The handle 200 is connected to the top surface 110. That is, the cover body 100 serves as the mounting carrier for the handle 200, and has the function of installing and fixing the handle 200. The handle 200 includes a grip 200, which the user grasps to take or put away the cover body 100.
[0166] The connection between the handle 200 and the top surface 110 is located between the first connecting surface 112 and the second connecting surface 114. The second connecting surface 114 is provided with an exhaust port 118. The handle 200 is positioned opposite to the second connecting surface 114, which is provided with the exhaust port 118. Furthermore, along the outer edge 1142 of the handle 200 to the second connecting surface, the handle 200 is located on one side of the center of gravity of the cover body 100. In other words, along the outer edge 1142 of the handle 200 to the second connecting surface, the handle 200 is offset relative to the center of gravity of the cover body 100.
[0167] During or immediately after cooking, when the lid body 100 is lifted by the handle 200, the center of gravity of the handle 200 relative to the lid body 100 shifts, and the handle 200 is positioned opposite the second connecting surface 114 where the vent 118 is located. Therefore, the first connecting surface 112 moves downwards, and the second connecting surface 114 moves upwards, causing the lid body 100 to tilt and rise. At this time, the steam inside the pot 300 of the cooking appliance 30 diffuses outwards through the tilted side of the lid body 100, achieving directional steam discharge from the pot 300. This prevents the large-area steam from rushing towards the user, as is common in related technologies, thus reducing the risk of burns from high-temperature steam.
[0168] In addition, by defining the matching structure between the handle 200 and the top surface 110, the handle 200 is positioned opposite to the second connecting surface 114 with the exhaust port 118. Users can predict the direction and position of steam flow after the cover 10 is opened by the direction of the handle 200, so as to avoid the steam flow area. This serves as a reminder and can further reduce the risk of users being scalded by steam.
[0169] Meanwhile, when the lid 10 is opened, the lid body 100 tilts and rises. The inner surface of the tilted lid body 100 has a guiding effect, which allows condensed water to slide down along the inner surface of the lid body 100, reducing the amount of condensed water dripping onto the food, ensuring the taste of the food during cooking, and helping to improve the product's performance and market competitiveness.
