The display panel is assembled in the mounting groove of the upper cover, and the face cover is assembled on the upper cover. The upper cover is formed with a wire hole for the wire of the display panel to exit. In order to seal the display panel, glue is applied at the wire exit position, and the sealing effect is achieved by pressing the wire plate and the screw.

[0003] However, the existing display panel sealing structure needs to be made in advance with a wire pressing plate and a screw, which is relatively high in cost. During assembly, the wire exit position needs to be glued first, then the wire pressing plate is assembled, and finally the screw is locked, which is relatively low in assembly efficiency. CONTENT OF THE UTILITY MODEL

[0004] In order to solve the above technical problems or at least partially solve the above technical problems, the present application provides a pot cover assembly and a cooking appliance to optimize the cooperation structure of the face cover and the upper cover, cancel the wire pressing plate and the screw, and achieve the same sealing effect.

[0005] The first aspect of the present application provides a pot cover assembly, which comprises an upper cover and a face cover mounted on the upper cover. A display panel is mounted between the upper cover and the face cover. The display panel has a wire. The upper cover is formed with a wire hole for the wire to pass through. The side surface of the face cover facing the upper cover is formed with a support column protruding downward. The support column is arranged in the wire hole. The wire is limited in the gap between the outer peripheral surface of the support column and the hole wall of the wire hole. The gap is provided with sealing glue.

[0006] In some embodiments, the support column is a rectangular column or a cylindrical column which is matched with the shape of the wire hole.

[0007] In some embodiments, the support column is a hollow column structure.

[0008] In some embodiments, the outer peripheral surface of the support column is formed with a recess. The wire is limited in the gap between the recess and the hole wall of the wire hole.

[0009] Alternatively, the hole wall of the wire hole is formed with a recess. The wire is limited in the gap between the outer peripheral surface of the support column and the recess.

[0010] In some embodiments, a side surface of the upper cover opposite to the side surface of the face cover is formed with a downward protruding annular rim, and an inner circumferential area of the annular rim forms the wire passing hole.

[0011] In some embodiments, a lower end surface of the annular rim is lower than a lower end surface of the support column, and the sealant is arranged between the lower end surface of the support column and an inner circumferential wall surface of the annular rim.

[0012] In some embodiments, a peripheral rim surrounding the annular rim is formed on the side surface of the upper cover opposite to the side surface of the face cover, and an annular cavity is formed between the peripheral rim and the annular rim.

[0013] In some embodiments, a wire passing gap is formed on the lower end surface of the annular rim.

[0014] In some embodiments, a guide surface guiding insertion of the support column into the wire passing hole is formed at an aperture of the wire passing hole.

[0015] The second aspect of the present application provides a cooking utensil, which comprises a pot body assembly and further comprises the pot cover assembly according to any one of the above embodiments, and the pot cover assembly is arranged on the pot body assembly in an openable and closable manner.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the technical solutions provided by the present application have at least the following advantages:

[0017] 1. The pot cover assembly provided by the present application forms a wire passing hole on the upper cover for the wire of the display panel to pass through, and a support column protruding downward is formed on a side surface of the face cover facing the upper cover. When the face cover is assembled to the upper cover, the support column is arranged in the wire passing hole, so that the wire of the display panel is positioned at a gap formed between an outer circumferential surface of the support column and a hole wall of the wire passing hole. Then, the sealant is applied at the gap to achieve a good sealing effect. In this way, the pressing plate and the screw do not need to be processed and manufactured, thereby saving costs. Moreover, the step of installing the pressing plate and the locking screw is cancelled during assembly, and the operation is simple and the assembly efficiency is high. In addition, by forming the support column on the face cover, the face cover can be positioned and guided by the cooperation between the support column and the wire passing hole when the face cover is assembled to the upper cover, so as to facilitate quick assembly of the face cover and the upper cover, thereby improving the assembly efficiency.

[0018] 2. By arranging the support column in a hollow column structure, compared with a solid column structure, the shrinkage marks formed on the surface of the face cover during processing and molding of the face cover can be reduced, thereby improving the appearance aesthetics of the pot cover assembly, and saving materials and reducing costs.

[0019] 3. By forming a downward-protruding annular rib on the side surface of the top cover facing away from the front cover, and forming a wire passage hole in the inner area of ​​the annular rib, the thickness of the part of the top cover with the wire passage hole can be increased, and the structural strength of the wire passage hole part can be improved. This ensures the stability of the cable being pressed between the outer peripheral surface of the support column and the wall of the wire passage hole. In addition, it can also increase the depth of the gap formed between the wall of the wire passage hole and the outer peripheral surface of the support column, which is conducive to accommodating more sealant, thereby ensuring the reliability of the seal.

[0020] 4. By forming a guide surface at the opening of the wire hole, the support post on the face cover is guided to insert into the wire hole on the top cover during the assembly process of the face cover and the top cover, thereby realizing quick assembly of the face cover and the top cover and improving assembly efficiency.

[0032] 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.

[0033] 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.

[0034] Some embodiments of this application provide a pot lid assembly and a cooking appliance using the pot lid assembly. (See also...) Figure 1 As shown, the cooking appliance may include a lid assembly 100 and a pot body assembly 200. The lid assembly 100 is detachably mounted on the pot body assembly 200. When the lid assembly 100 is mounted on the pot body assembly 200, it together with the pot body assembly 200 forms a cooking cavity.

[0035] Reference Figures 1 to 7 As shown, some embodiments of this application provide a pot lid assembly 100, including an upper cover 1 and a face cover 2 mounted on the upper cover 1. The face cover 2 can also be referred to as a panel decorative cover or a face cover decorative piece. A display panel 3 is installed between the upper cover 1 and the face cover 2. The display panel 3 has a ribbon cable 31, and a cable hole 11 is formed on the upper cover 1 for the ribbon cable 31 to pass through.

[0036] Specifically, the display panel 3 is located on the side of the upper cover 1 facing the face cover 2. One end of the ribbon cable 31 of the display panel 3 is connected to the main body of the display panel 3, and the other end of the ribbon cable 31 of the display panel 3 passes through the cable hole 11 of the upper cover 1 and extends to the side of the upper cover 1 facing away from the face cover 2.

[0037] Among them, the surface of the face cover 2 facing the upper cover 1 has a downward protruding support column 21. The support column 21 passes through the wire hole 11. The cable 31 is pressed into the gap formed between the outer peripheral surface of the support column 21 and the hole wall of the wire hole 11. The gap is provided with sealant 4.

[0038] In specific implementation, the support column 21 can be in an integral structure with the face cover 2. Specifically, the face cover 2 can be a plastic piece, and the support column 21 can be integrally injection molded with the face cover 2.

[0039] In specific assembly, the display panel 3 can be first mounted on the upper cover 1, and one end of the wire 31 of the display panel 3 can pass through the wire passing hole 11 of the upper cover 1; then the face cover 2 can be assembled on the upper cover 1, so that the support column 21 on the face cover 2 passes through the wire passing hole 11 of the upper cover 1, so as to press the wire 31 passing through the wire passing hole 11 by the outer circumferential surface of the support column 21, and to limit the wire 31 passing through the wire passing hole 11 at the gap between the outer circumferential surface of the support column 21 and the hole wall of the wire passing hole 11; then sealant 4 can be applied at the gap, so as to seal the gap between the outer circumferential surface of the support column 21 and the hole wall of the wire passing hole 11 by the sealant 4, and the sealant 4 has good wrapping performance after application, so as to achieve good sealing effect.

[0040] In specific implementation, the mounting groove 12 can be arranged on the upper cover 1, and specifically, the mounting groove 12 can be arranged on the side surface of the upper cover 1 facing the face cover 2, and the display panel 3 can be mounted in the mounting groove 12, so as to achieve the mounting of the display panel 3 on the upper cover 1.

[0041] The pot cover assembly 100 provided by the embodiment of the present application has the wire passing hole 11 formed on the upper cover 1 for the wire 31 of the display panel 3 to pass through, and the support column 21 downward protruding from the side surface of the face cover 2 facing the upper cover 1, so that when the face cover 2 is assembled on the upper cover 1, the support column 21 passes through the wire passing hole 11, thereby pressing the wire 31 of the display panel 3 at the gap between the outer circumferential surface of the support column 21 and the hole wall of the wire passing hole 11, and then applying the sealant 4 at the gap to achieve good sealing effect. In this way, the pressing plate and the screw can be omitted, thereby saving cost, and the steps of mounting the pressing plate and the screw are cancelled during assembly, so that the operation is simple and the assembly efficiency is high. In addition, the support column 21 of the face cover 2 passes through the wire passing hole 11 of the upper cover 1, and the sealant has good wrapping performance after application, so that the sealing effect is good, and the screw slipping can be avoided, thereby affecting the sealing effect.

[0042] In addition, the support column 21 is formed on the face cover 2, so that when the face cover 2 is assembled with the upper cover 1, the support column 21 can cooperate with the wire passing hole 11 to limit and guide, so as to facilitate the quick assembly of the face cover 2 with the upper cover 1, thereby improving the assembly efficiency.

[0043] In some embodiments, with reference to Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, a guide surface 111 is formed at the aperture of the wire passing hole 11 to guide the insertion of the support column 21 into the wire passing hole 11. In this way, the support column 21 on the face cover 2 is guided to be inserted into the wire passing hole 11 on the upper cover 1 during the assembly of the face cover 2 and the upper cover 1, thereby achieving quick assembly of the face cover 2 and the upper cover 1 and improving the assembly efficiency.

[0044] In specific implementations, in order to achieve quick assembly of the face cover 2 and the upper cover 1, a chamfer structure can also be provided at the lower end of the support column 21 to guide the smooth insertion of the support column 21 on the face cover 2 into the wire passing hole 11 on the upper cover 1.

[0045] In some embodiments, referring to Figures 4 to 7 As shown, the wire passing hole 11 is a rectangular hole, and the support column 21 is a rectangular column body that is adapted to the shape of the wire passing hole 11.

[0046] In this way, a long strip-shaped gap is formed between the one side outer surface of the support column 21 and the one side hole wall of the wire passing hole 11, so that the shape of the gap formed therebetween is better adapted to the shape of the wire 31, thereby avoiding causing the wire 31 to be deformed due to being pressed too much when the support column 21 of the face cover 2 is inserted into the wire passing hole 11 of the upper cover 1.

[0047] Of course, in specific implementations, the wire passing hole 11 is not limited to being a rectangular hole, and the wire passing hole 11 can also be a circular hole, and correspondingly, the support column 21 can be a cylindrical body that is adapted to the shape of the wire passing hole 11. The support column 21 can also be of other shapes, and to ensure the sealing effect, the shape of the support column 21 is preferably consistent with the shape of the wire passing hole 11. Different shape structures of the support column 21 are designed to meet the needs of the wire 31 of the display panel 3 and the internal assembly structure of the pot cover assembly 100.

[0048] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 4 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the support column 21 is a hollow column structure. In this way, compared with a solid column structure, the shrinkage marks formed on the surface of the face cover 2 during the molding of the face cover 2 can be reduced, thereby improving the appearance of the pot cover assembly 100, and also saving materials and reducing costs.

[0049] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 4 , Figure 6 and Figure 7As shown, a recessed portion 211 is formed on the outer circumferential surface of the support column 21, and the wire 31 is positioned in the gap formed between the recessed portion 211 and the hole wall of the wire passing hole 11. By forming the recessed portion 211 on the outer circumferential surface of the support column 21, a larger gap can be formed between the outer circumferential surface of the support column 21 and the hole wall of the wire passing hole 11 at the recessed portion 211, so as to have sufficient gap space to accommodate the wire 31.

[0050] In specific implementations, the outer circumferential surface of the support column 21 can be arranged to form a larger gap between the recessed portion 211 and the hole wall of the wire passing hole 11, while the outer circumferential surface of the support column 21 forms a smaller gap between the hole wall of the wire passing hole 11 at other regions outside the recessed portion 211. In this way, after the support column 21 is inserted into the wire passing hole 11, a small amount of sealant 4 can be used to seal the gap between the support column 21 and the wire passing hole 11, thereby reducing the amount of sealant 4 used and ensuring the reliability of the seal.

[0051] Specifically, the recessed portion 211 can be a strip-shaped recessed portion extending along the axial direction of the support column 21. It should be understood that the axial direction of the support column 21 is the direction in which the support column 21 is inserted into the wire passing hole 11. In this way, after the support column 21 is inserted into the wire passing hole 11, a gap is formed between the recessed portion 211 and the hole wall of the wire passing hole 11 along the axial direction of the wire passing hole 11, so as to accommodate the wire 31 inserted into the wire passing hole 11.

[0052] In other embodiments, a recessed portion is formed on the hole wall of the wire passing hole 11, and the wire 31 is positioned in the gap formed between the outer circumferential surface of the support column 21 and the recessed portion. By forming the recessed portion on the hole wall of the wire passing hole 11, a larger gap can be formed between the outer circumferential surface of the support column 21 and the recessed portion of the wire passing hole 11, so as to have sufficient gap space to accommodate the wire 31. Specifically, the recessed portion can be a strip-shaped recessed portion extending along the axial direction of the wire passing hole 11, so as to accommodate the wire 31 inserted into the wire passing hole 11 through the gap formed between the outer circumferential surface of the support column 21 and the recessed portion after the support column 21 is inserted into the wire passing hole 11.

[0053] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the upper cover 1 is formed with an annular rib 13 protruding downward on the side surface facing away from the cover 2, and the inner circumferential region of the annular rib 13 forms the wire passing hole 11.

[0054] By arranging the annular rim 13, the thickness of the part of the upper cover 1 where the wire passing hole 11 is arranged can be increased, and the structural strength of the part of the wire passing hole 11 can be improved, so as to ensure the stability of the wire 31 being limited between the outer circumferential surface of the support column 21 and the hole wall of the wire passing hole 11, and in addition, the depth of the gap formed between the hole wall of the wire passing hole 11 and the outer circumferential surface of the support column 21 can be increased, which is beneficial to accommodate more sealant 4, so as to ensure the reliability of the seal.

[0055] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 2 and Figure 3 , the lower end surface of the annular rim 13 is lower than the lower end surface of the support column 21, and the sealant 4 is arranged between the lower end surface of the support column 21 and the inner circumferential surface of the annular rim 13.

[0056] In this way, the gap formed between the outer circumferential surface of the support column 21 and the inner circumferential surface of the annular rim 13 can be better filled with the sealant 4, and the sealant 4 is prevented from overflowing to the area outside the annular rim 13; and the lower end surface of the annular rim 13 is arranged to be lower than the lower end surface of the support column 21, so as to facilitate the wire 31 to be routed after being passed out of the wire passing hole 11, and the lower end surface of the annular rim 13 is prevented from protruding from the lower end surface of the support column 21 to affect the routing.

[0057] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 , the side surface of the upper cover 1 away from the cover 2 is formed with a peripheral rim 14 surrounding the annular rim 13, and an annular cavity is formed between the peripheral rim 14 and the annular rim 13.

[0058] By arranging the peripheral rim 14, the structural strength of the part of the wire passing hole 11 can be improved, and the influence of the wire passing hole 11 arranged on the upper cover 1 on the structural strength of the upper cover 1 can be avoided, and in addition, the annular cavity formed between the peripheral rim 14 and the annular rim 13 can be used to accommodate the sealant 4 overflowing, and the sealant 4 is prevented from overflowing to the area outside the peripheral rim 14.

[0059] In specific implementations, the peripheral rim 14 can be arranged in a structure shape matching the annular rim 13. For example, as shown in Figure 6 and Figure 7 , the annular rim 13 is a rectangular rim, the peripheral rim 14 is arranged around the periphery of the annular rim 13, and the peripheral rim 14 is a rectangular rim matching the shape of the annular rim 13.

[0060] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 6 and Figure 7As shown, the lower end surface of the annular rim 13 is formed with a wire routing gap 131. The wire routing gap 131 is provided to facilitate the wire routing of the wire 31 after the wire 31 is routed out of the wire passing hole 11. In a specific implementation, the wire routing gap 131 can be provided on the side wall of the annular rim 13 that is relatively close to the peripheral edge of the upper cover 1.

[0061] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the lower end surface of the peripheral rim 14 is also formed with a wire routing gap, and the wire routing gap on the peripheral rim 14 is provided in correspondence with the wire routing gap 131 on the annular rim 13. Specifically, the wire routing gap on the peripheral rim 14 can be provided on the side wall of the peripheral rim 14 that is relatively close to the peripheral edge of the upper cover 1.
