[0029] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the present invention and not intended to limit it. Furthermore, it should be noted that, for ease of description, the accompanying drawings show only the parts relevant to the present invention, not the entire structure.

[0030] In the description of this utility model, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "connected," "linked," and "fixed" should be interpreted broadly.

Furthermore, "above," "over," and "on top" of the second feature includes the first feature directly above or diagonally above the second feature, or simply indicates that the first feature is at a higher horizontal level than the second feature. "Below," "below," and "under" the second feature includes the first feature directly below or diagonally below the second feature, or simply indicates that the first feature is at a lower horizontal level than the second feature.

[0032] In the description of this embodiment, the terms "upper," "lower," "left," and "right," etc., refer to the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are used only for ease of description and simplification of operation, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model. In addition, the terms "first" and "second" are only used for distinction in description and have no special meaning.

[0033] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, this utility model embodiment first provides a pot lid handle, which is installed on the pot lid 100 of a cooking appliance. The cooking appliance includes, but is not limited to, an automatic stir-fry pot with an automatic food stirring function.

[0034] The pot lid handle includes a power supply component 2, a control and display component 3, and a drive component 4. The pot lid handle also includes a housing component 1, which comprises an integrally formed housing 11. Multiple mounting compartments with mounting openings are formed within the housing 11. The power supply component 2, control and display component 3, and drive component 4 are respectively installed in the multiple mounting compartments. The length of the housing 11 extends along a first direction, and the width of any cross-section of the housing 11 is equal along this length. When assembling the pot lid handle, the power supply component 2, control and display component 3, and drive component 4 are simply placed into their respective mounting compartments and installed. The installation of the components does not affect each other, making the assembly method simple and eliminating the need to disassemble the housing 11, thus simplifying the assembly process of the pot lid handle. The housing 11 extends entirely along its length, and the width of any cross-section along this length is equal. The housing 11 has a simple structure, without irregular shapes or protrusions, which facilitates integral molding. The assembly process does not require alignment between the housings, and the machining precision requirements for the housing 11 are relatively low, thereby reducing the processing cost of the pot lid handle.

[0035] The control and display component 3 is used by the user to set the working mode of the cooking appliance, such as cooking time and stirring speed; the drive component 4 is used to drive the operating parts of the cooking appliance, such as the stirring spatula; and the power supply component 2 provides power to the control and display component 3 and the drive component 4. The one-piece molded shell 11 is made of plastic and is processed by injection molding or by metal casting, which is a relatively simple processing technology.

[0036] In one embodiment, the housing assembly 1 further includes multiple covers 12, each corresponding to a different mounting compartment. The covers 12 are detachably connected to the housing 11 to seal the mounting opening. After the power supply assembly 2, the control and display assembly 3, and the drive assembly 4 are placed into their respective mounting compartments, the corresponding covers 12 are then closed to increase the sealing of the mounting compartments. It should be noted that the shapes of the corresponding mounting compartments and covers 12 may vary depending on the appearance of the power supply assembly 2, the control and display assembly 3, and the drive assembly 4, and are not limited to the figures in this embodiment.

[0037] Along its length, the housing 11 has a front end face and a rear end face, both of which are planar. Exemplarily, in this embodiment, both the front end face and the rear end face of the housing 11 are planar.

[0038] Along both sides of the height direction, the shell 11 has an upper top surface and a lower bottom surface, with the lower bottom surface fitting against the pot lid 100. Both the upper top surface and / or the lower bottom surface are planar. Exemplarily, in this embodiment, both the upper top surface and the lower bottom surface of the shell 11 are planar. The planar structure facilitates integral molding, simplifies the model structure, and reduces processing costs.

[0039] The housing 11 includes a handheld portion 111 and a display portion 112 arranged sequentially along its length. A control display component 3 and a drive component 4 are disposed on the display portion 112, and a power supply component 2 is disposed on the handheld portion 111. The handheld portion 111 is used for holding. Separating the handheld portion 111 and the display portion 112 makes it more convenient to use, and operations in the display portion 112 area do not interfere with the hand's grip on the handheld portion 111. The length of the handheld portion 111 is L1, and the length of the display portion 112 is L2. L1 and L2 are equal, or the difference between L1 and L2 is less than a preset value. That is, the length of the handheld portion 111 is equal to the length of the display portion 112, or, when the preset value is small, the length of the handheld portion 111 and the display portion 112 are approximately equal. This results in better mold structure stability for the integrally molded housing 11, and the housing 11 formed by injection molding or casting has a uniform wall thickness, reducing processing defects. This embodiment does not limit the preset value.

[0040] One of the multiple mounting compartments is a display component mounting compartment 115, which is used to house the control display component 3. In one embodiment, the control display component 3 includes a display screen 31. The mounting port of the display component mounting compartment 115 is located on the top surface of the display unit 112, allowing the user to view and operate the display screen 31 from above. The mounting port of the display screen 31 is recessed into the top surface of the display unit 112. The display screen 31 is positioned at the mounting port of the display component mounting compartment 115 and does not protrude from the top surface of the handheld part 111. This design of the display screen 31 is more aesthetically pleasing and avoids accidental touches when the hand is holding the handheld part 111, thus improving hand comfort.

[0041] The handle 111 has a grip groove 1113 extending through the width direction. The user's hand passes through the grip groove 1113 and grips the handle 111, allowing them to flip the lid 100 using the lid handle to open or close it. A notch 117 is provided below the display unit 112. The grip groove 1113 and the notch 117 are located at opposite ends of the housing 11 along its length. The notch 117 saves material, reducing the material usage and weight of the one-piece molded housing 11. Furthermore, the notch 117 and grip groove 1113 ensure a certain degree of structural symmetry at both ends of the housing 11 along its length, guaranteeing good stability during one-piece molding and preventing processing defects such as cracking caused by insufficient filling or poor wall thickness distribution during injection molding or casting.

[0042] The handheld part 111 includes a horizontal handheld part 1111 and a connecting part 1112. The horizontal handheld part 1111 is located above the grip groove 1113 and extends along the length direction. The horizontal handheld part 1111 connects the display part 112 and the connecting part 1112. The connecting part 1112 is located on one side of the grip groove 1113 and extends along the height direction of the housing 11. The horizontal handheld part 1111 and the connecting part 1112 are in a "7" shape, which makes the grip more comfortable.

[0043] To further improve the structural stability of the one-piece molded housing 11, the handgrip 111 also includes a reinforcing portion 1114. The reinforcing portion 1114 is disposed above and below the grip groove 1113 at intervals along the height direction of the housing 11 and the transverse handgrip 1111. The reinforcing portion 1114 connects the display portion 112 and the connecting portion 1112. The reinforcing portion 1114 further improves the injection molding stability of the housing 11 and ensures the structural strength of the housing assembly 1.

[0044] A reinforcing part 1114 is disposed above the lid 100. The reinforcing part 1114 is disposed close to the lid 100, reducing the gap between the lid handle and the lid 100 and lowering the overall height of the cooking appliance. The side of the reinforcing part 1114 facing the lid 100 has a recessed groove 1116 to form a heat insulation space. The heat insulation space can prevent the heat of the lid 100 from being transferred to the lid handle, thereby preventing the handle part 111 from getting too hot and causing burns, and also reducing high-temperature deformation of the shell 11.

[0045] The horizontal handle 1111 has a rectangular shell structure, and a gripping arc surface 1115 is formed between any two adjacent side surfaces of the rectangular shell structure. The gripping arc surface 1115 further improves the grip feel. Even when the cooking appliance is relatively heavy, the gripping arc surface 1115 can increase hand comfort and avoid excessive local grip pressure on the hand caused by sharp prisms. Moreover, the presence of the gripping arc surface 1115 can reduce processing defects such as insufficient filling and facilitate demolding of the shell 11.

[0046] In this embodiment, the mounting compartment includes a display component mounting compartment 115 for accommodating the control display component 3, a drive component mounting compartment 116 for accommodating the drive component 4, and a power component mounting compartment 114 for accommodating the power supply component 2. The mounting ports of the display component mounting compartment 115, the drive component mounting compartment 116, and the power supply mounting compartment 114 are respectively located on three different side walls of the housing 11. For example, in one embodiment, the mounting port of the drive component mounting compartment 116 is located on the lower side wall of the housing 11, the mounting port of the power supply mounting compartment 114 is located on the rear side wall of the housing 11, and the mounting port of the display component mounting compartment 115 is located on the upper side wall of the housing 11. Concentrated mounting ports would result in poor mold stability, while separately arranged mounting ports make the overall structure of the housing 11 more balanced and stable.

[0047] This utility model embodiment further provides a cooking appliance, which includes the aforementioned pot lid handle. The cooking appliance includes, but is not limited to, an automatic stir-fry pan with an automatic food stirring function. The cooking appliance also includes a pot body and a pot lid 100 that fits over the pot body. The pot lid handle is detachably connected to the pot lid 100, such as... Figure 4 As shown, the pot lid handle includes a housing assembly 1, a power supply assembly 2, a control and display assembly 3, and a drive assembly 4. The housing assembly 1 includes a one-piece molded housing 11, within which multiple mounting compartments with mounting openings are formed. The power supply assembly 2, the control and display assembly 3, and the drive assembly 4 are respectively installed in these mounting compartments. When assembling the pot lid handle, the power supply assembly 2, the control and display assembly 3, and the drive assembly 4 are simply placed into their respective mounting compartments and installed. The installation of the components does not affect each other, making the assembly method simple and eliminating the need to disassemble the housing 11, thus simplifying the assembly process. Furthermore, the housing 11 has a uniform width across any cross-section along its length, and its simple structure, free from irregular shapes or protrusions, facilitates one-piece molding. The assembly process does not require alignment between the housings, resulting in relatively low precision requirements for the housing 11 and reducing the overall processing cost of the cooking appliance.
