[0031] In order to more clearly illustrate the above-mentioned purposes, features and advantages of the present application, the solutions of the present application will be further described below. It should be noted that the embodiments of the present application and the features in the embodiments can be combined with each other without conflict.

[0032] In the following description, many specific details are set forth in order to fully understand the present application, but the present application can also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein; obviously, the embodiments in the specification are only some of the embodiments of the present application, not all the embodiments.

[0033] As Figures 1 to 6 ​As shown, the pot cover provided by the embodiments of the present application comprises a cover 1, a decorative ring 2 and a panel assembly 3, and the decorative ring 2 is arranged between the cover 1 and the panel assembly 3. The decorative ring 2 comprises a ring body 21, and the outer side of the ring body 21 is exposed. The ring body 21 is divided into a front side portion 211 located at the front side of the pot cover and a rear side portion 212 located at the rear side of the pot cover in the circumferential direction of the ring body 21. The exposed width of the front side portion 211 is greater than the exposed width of the rear side portion 212.

[0034] Understandably, by setting the exposed width of the front side portion 211 located at the front side of the pot cover to be greater than the width of the rear side portion 212 located at the rear side of the pot cover, the appearance effect of the part of the ring body 21 at the front side of the pot cover is more prominent than that of the part at the rear side of the pot cover. In addition, the area of the outer side of the ring body 21 that needs to be subjected to surface treatment can be reduced, and the material consumption of the ring body 21 can be reduced, thereby reducing the production cost.

[0035] It should be noted that the front side of the pot cover is the side of the pot cover facing the user when the cooking appliance to which the pot cover is applicable is in use, and the rear side is the side away from the user. When the front side of the pot cover faces the user, the front side of the pot cover can be seen by the user, and the rear side of the pot cover is in the blind area of the user's line of sight and cannot be seen. For example, the cooking appliance is an electric rice cooker or an electric pressure cooker. When the user operates the cooking appliance, the user is located in front of the cooking appliance. At this time, the front side portion 211 can be seen by the user.

[0036] In addition, the outer side of the ring body 21 is provided with a decorative film (not shown in the figure). The decorative film can be an aluminum foil with metallic luster or a metal foil of other materials suitable for hot stamping. The decorative film can be formed on the outer side of the ring body by heat transfer printing, hot stamping or film covering.

[0037] Although the ring body 21 is divided into the front side portion 211 and the rear side portion 212 in the circumferential direction, the outer side of the ring body 21 is a smooth and continuous curved surface. After the pot cover is assembled, the outer side of the ring body 21 is exposed, and the outer side of the ring body 21 is provided with the decorative film as described above.

[0038] In some embodiments, with reference to Figure 1 The front side portion 211 extends to the side of the pot cover, and the circumferential length of the front side portion 211 is less than the circumferential length of the rear side portion 212.

[0039] Understandably, the front side portion 211 extends to the side of the pot cover, and the circumferential length of the front side portion 211 is less than the circumferential length of the rear side portion 212. This not only meets the visual requirements, but also further reduces the amount of the ring body 21 and the area of the ring body 21 that needs to be subjected to surface treatment, thereby further reducing the production cost.

[0040] In some embodiments, with reference to Figure 1The exposed width of the front side 211 is greater than twice the exposed width of the rear side 212.

[0041] It can be understood that the exposed width of the front side 211 is greater than twice the exposed width of the rear side 212, so that the appearance of the front side 211 is more prominent than the appearance of the rear side 212, improving the visual effect of the front side of the pot cover, and reducing the material of the rear side 212 and reducing the cost.

[0042] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 1 The front side 211 has a first upper end surface facing the panel assembly 3, and the rear side 212 has a second upper end surface facing the panel assembly 3, and the first upper end surface and the second upper end surface are flush.

[0043] It can be understood that by setting the first upper end surface of the front side 211 and the second upper end surface of the rear side 212 flush, the boundary above the outer side of the entire ring body 21 is relatively uniform, and the boundary below changes due to the different exposed widths of the front side 211 and the rear side 212, so that the level of the ring body 21 is improved, and the appearance effect of the front side 211 is more prominent.

[0044] Of course, in other embodiments, the front side can also have a first lower end surface facing the cover, and the rear side can have a second lower end surface facing the cover, and the first lower end surface and the second lower end surface can be flush. At this time, the boundary below the outer side of the entire ring body is relatively uniform, and the boundary above changes due to the different exposed widths of the front side and the rear side.

[0045] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 2 The decorative ring 2 further includes a connecting ring 22 arranged inside the ring body 21, and the ring body 21 and the connecting ring 22 are integrally formed. The decorative ring 2 can be a metal piece or a plastic piece, and the material of the plastic piece can be PC (polycarbonate), ABS (acrylonitrile butadiene styrene), PP (polypropylene), etc.

[0046] Of course, in other embodiments, the connecting ring and the ring body can also be separately arranged and connected to form the decorative ring. The fixing mode of the connecting ring and the ring body can be adhesion, screw connection, clamping, etc.

[0047] In some embodiments, referring to Figures 2 to 4 The ring body 21 further has a transition portion 213 between the front side 211 and the rear side 212, and the transition portion 213 is provided with a first stop inclined surface 213a extending in the circumferential direction of the ring body 21. The cover 1 is provided with a second stop inclined surface 213b abutting the first stop inclined surface 213a.

[0048] It is understandable that the transition portion 213 has a gradually decreasing exposed width from the end close to the front side portion 211 to the end close to the rear side portion 212. In this way, the exposed width of the ring body 21 forms a transition from large to small at the transition portion 213, which can improve the aesthetics. By setting the first stop inclined surface 213a, cooperating with the second stop inclined surface on the face cover 1, the positioning effect can be achieved when assembling the decorative ring 2 and the face cover 1, facilitating the assembly of the decorative ring 2 and the face cover 1. The first stop inclined surface 213a and the second stop inclined surface can also cooperate to limit the movement of the decorative ring 2 and the face cover 1 relative to each other.

[0049] It should be noted that the first stop inclined surface 213a is inclined relative to the vertical direction or the horizontal direction, and at this time the pot cover is arranged on the pot body of the applicable cooking utensil.

[0050] Among them, the first stop inclined surface 213a can be an inclined plane, or a smooth curved surface. For example, referring to Figure 2 The first stop inclined surface 213a is a smooth curved surface, and similarly, the second stop inclined surface is a smooth curved surface that can be attached to the first stop inclined surface 213a.

[0051] Further, the transition portion 213 is provided with two, and the two transition portions 213, the front side portion 211 and the rear side portion 212 together constitute the ring body 21. Understandably, at this time the front side portion 211 and the rear side portion 212 are both arc-shaped, one transition portion 213 is located between one end of the front side portion 211 and one end of the rear side portion 212, and the other transition portion 213 is located between the other end of the front side portion 211 and the other end of the rear side portion 212.

[0052] It should be noted that the front side portion 211, the rear side portion 212 and the two transition portions 213 constituting the ring body 21 can be integrally formed, such as injection molding. Of course, the above-mentioned ring body can also be formed by splicing the separately arranged front side portion, rear side portion and transition portion, at this time the separately arranged front side portion, rear side portion and transition portion are convenient to process, can reduce the manufacturing difficulty, and the separately arranged front side portion, rear side portion and transition portion are spliced to form a smooth and flat curved surface, which can block the gap between the adjacent two after coating on the ring body, without affecting the appearance of the decorative ring.

[0053] In some embodiments, referring to Figures 2 to 4 One of the decorative ring 2 and the face cover 1 is provided with a positioning rib 23 in the form of a ring, and the other is provided with a positioning groove 11 in the form of a ring, and the positioning rib 23 is arranged in the positioning groove 11.

[0054] It can be understood that, by setting the positioning rib 23 and the positioning groove 11, the two can cooperate to position and limit when assembling the decorative ring 2 and the face cover 1, facilitating the assembly of the decorative ring 2 and the face cover 1, and improving the stability of the assembled decorative ring 2 and face cover 1.

[0055] Exemplarily, in a specific implementation, referring to Figure 2 and Figure 4 , the decorative ring 2 is provided with a positioning rib 23, and the face cover 1 is provided with a positioning groove 11.

[0056] Further, the decorative ring 2 further comprises a connecting ring 22 arranged on the inner side of the ring body 21. The annular positioning rib 23 is partially arranged on the connecting ring 22, and the other part is arranged on the front side 211 of the ring body 21. Preferably, the ring body 21, the connecting ring 22 and the positioning rib 23 are integrally formed.

[0057] In some embodiments, referring to Figures 2 to 4 , the decorative ring 2 is provided with a positioning column 24, and the face cover 1 is provided with a positioning hole, and the positioning column 24 is inserted into the positioning hole.

[0058] It can be understood that, by setting the positioning column 24 and the positioning hole, the positioning function can be achieved when assembling the decorative ring 2 and the face cover 1, facilitating the assembly of the decorative ring 2 and the face cover 1.

[0059] Exemplarily, referring to Figure 2 , the decorative ring 2 is provided with a plurality of positioning columns 24, and the plurality of positioning columns 24 are arranged along the circumference of the central hole formed by the decorative ring 2. In this way, the stability of the assembled decorative ring 2 and face cover 1 can also be improved.

[0060] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 5 and Figure 6 , the panel assembly 3 comprises a panel 31 and a panel support 32, the decorative ring 2 is arranged between the face cover 1 and the panel support 32, and the panel 31 is arranged on the side of the panel support 32 away from the face cover 1.
