Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of cooking utensil technology, and more specifically, to a lid assembly and a cooking utensil. Background Technology

[0002] A steamer consists of a pot body and a lid, with the lid positioned on top of the pot body. The pot body and lid together enclose a cooking cavity, which has a fixed and relatively large volume. When steaming a small amount of food (such as two eggs or two buns), it consumes more electricity, takes longer to steam, is less efficient, and results in lower product performance. 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 assembly.

[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 cover assembly for a cooking utensil, comprising: a top cover, the top cover having a receiving cavity extending from the top to the bottom of the top cover, the receiving cavity including a receiving section and a guiding section connected together, the flow cross-sectional area of ​​the guiding section being larger than the flow cross-sectional area of ​​the receiving section; wherein the receiving cavity is used to receive food ingredients.

[0007] This application provides a lid assembly for a cooking utensil, the lid assembly including a top cover that can be directly fastened to the pot body of the cooking utensil.

[0008] The top cover has a receiving cavity for holding food ingredients, which can be placed inside the receiving cavity.

[0009] From the top to the bottom of the top cover, the receiving cavity includes a receiving section and a guiding section, with the receiving section connected to the guiding section. That is, the receiving section is located above the guiding section.

[0010] It is understandable that both the containing section and the guiding section can contain food ingredients, which can be placed in the containing section and the guiding section.

[0011] The flow-guiding section has a larger cross-sectional area than the receiving section. This means that the volume of the receiving cavity decreases from the bottom to the top of the top cover, with the receiving section having a smaller volume. When steaming a small amount of food (such as a few eggs, buns, or a dish), this small amount can be placed in the receiving section of the receiving cavity. The smaller volume of the receiving section reduces the energy consumption of the cooking appliance while ensuring efficient steaming of small quantities of food, thus improving the efficiency and performance of the appliance.

[0012] It is understandable that the cross-sectional area of ​​the flow guide section is larger than that of the containment section. The flow guide section has the function of guiding the condensate, so that the condensate is effectively guided to the edge of the top cover. In this way, when the cover assembly is opened, the amount of condensate dripping onto the food can be reduced, which can ensure the cooking taste of the food and the cooking effect of the steamer.

[0013] It is understandable that the accommodating section is cross-sectionally divided along a direction perpendicular to the top and bottom of the top cover, and the cross-sectional area of ​​the accommodating section is the flow cross-sectional area of ​​the accommodating section.

[0014] It is understandable that the flow guide section is cross-sectionally divided along a direction perpendicular to the top and bottom of the top cover, and the cross-sectional area of ​​the flow guide section is the flow cross-sectional area of ​​the flow guide section.

[0015] The cover assembly described above according to this application may also have the following additional technical features:

[0016] In some embodiments, optionally, the cross-sectional area of ​​at least one of the receiving section and the guiding section gradually increases along the direction from the top to the bottom of the top cover.

[0017] In this embodiment, the flow cross-sectional area of ​​the receiving section gradually increases along the direction from the top to the bottom of the top cover. Alternatively, the flow cross-sectional area of ​​the guiding section gradually increases along the direction from the top to the bottom of the top cover. Alternatively, both the flow cross-sectional areas of the receiving section and the guiding section gradually increase along the direction from the top to the bottom of the top cover.

[0018] As the cross-sectional area of ​​the containment section gradually increases, this design makes it easier to place food within the containment section, enhancing the convenience of retrieving and placing food. Simultaneously, the gradually increasing cross-sectional area of ​​the containment section means that the walls surrounding the containment section extend at an angle. This angled extension of the walls acts as a guide, allowing condensation adhering to the walls of the containment section to slide down at an angle to the edge of the top cover. This reduces the amount of condensation dripping onto the food when the cover assembly is opened, ensuring the best cooking experience.

[0019] As the cross-sectional area of ​​the flow guide section gradually increases, it means that the wall surrounding the flow guide section extends at an angle. The angled extension of the wall has a flow guiding effect, allowing the condensate adhering to the wall of the flow guide section to slide down at an angle to the edge of the top cover. In this way, when the cover assembly is opened, the amount of condensate dripping onto the food will be reduced, ensuring the cooking taste of the food.

[0020] In some embodiments, the receiving section may be a cylindrical section; or the receiving section may include a plurality of receiving sub-segments arranged in a direction perpendicular to the top of the top cover to the bottom of the top cover; or the receiving section may be an annular section.

[0021] In this embodiment, the structure of the accommodating segment.

[0022] When the container section is cylindrical, a small amount of food can be placed in the cylindrical section to ensure that a small amount of food is steamed effectively while reducing the energy consumption of the cooking appliance, which is conducive to improving the efficiency of the cooking appliance.

[0023] When the accommodating section comprises multiple accommodating sub-sections, these sub-sections are arranged perpendicularly to the top and bottom of the top cover. Each sub-section can hold a small amount of food; for example, it can hold at least one egg, at least one steamed bun, or a bowl of vegetables, etc. This design reduces energy consumption while effectively steaming small amounts of food, thus improving the efficiency of the cooking appliance.

[0024] When the container section is annular, a small amount of food can be placed in the annular section to ensure that a small amount of food is steamed effectively while reducing the energy consumption of the cooking appliance, which is conducive to improving the efficiency of the cooking appliance.

[0025] In some embodiments, the receiving cavity may optionally include a connecting section, and a flow guiding section is connected between the receiving section and the connecting section; the flow cross-sectional area of ​​the connecting section is larger than the flow cross-sectional area of ​​the flow guiding section.

[0026] In this embodiment, the structure of the cover assembly is further defined.

[0027] The cover assembly has a receiving cavity, which includes a receiving section, a guiding section, and a connecting section. Along the direction from the top to the bottom of the top cover, the guiding section connects the receiving section and the connecting section, and the flow cross-sectional area of ​​the connecting section is larger than that of the guiding section.

[0028] The connecting section is used to mate with the pot body to meet the requirements of effective assembly of the lid assembly and the pot body. Steam generated inside the pot body diffuses through the connecting section to the guide section, and then enters the receiving section through the guide section. Since the flow cross-sectional area of ​​the connecting section is uniform from the top to the bottom of the lid, the steam flow through the connecting section can reduce airflow detours, which helps to reduce airflow loss and allows the steam to quickly fill the receiving cavity.

[0029] It is understandable that the connecting section is cross-sectionally divided along a direction perpendicular to the top and bottom of the top cover, and the cross-sectional area of ​​the connecting section is the flow cross-sectional area of ​​the connecting section.

[0030] For example, the connecting segment is a cylindrical segment.

[0031] In some embodiments, the top cover may optionally include: a first cover plate having a groove-shaped structure, the inner surface of the first cover plate enclosing an accommodating section; and a second cover plate surrounding the first cover plate, the second cover plate extending obliquely from the open end of the first cover plate in a direction away from the first cover plate, the inner surface of the second cover plate enclosing a guide section.

[0032] In this embodiment, the top cover includes a first cover plate and a second cover plate, which are connected together.

[0033] Specifically, the first cover plate has a groove-shaped structure, and its inner surface encloses an accommodating section. The second cover plate surrounds the first cover plate and extends obliquely from the open end of the first cover plate in a direction away from the first cover plate. That is, from the top to the bottom of the top cover, the height of the second cover plate is lower than the height of the first cover plate.

[0034] The guide section enclosed by the inner surface of the second cover plate surrounds the receiving section enclosed by the inner surface of the first cover plate. This design allows the flow cross-sectional area of ​​the guide section to be larger than that of the receiving section, thus meeting the need for rapid steaming of small quantities of food.

[0035] Meanwhile, the inclined second cover plate has a guiding function, allowing the condensate adhering to the second cover plate to slide down along the inner surface of the second cover plate to the edge of the second cover plate. In this way, when the cover assembly is opened, the amount of condensate dripping onto the food will be reduced, ensuring the taste of the food during cooking.

[0036] In some embodiments, the connection between the first cover plate and the second cover plate may be smoothly transitioned.

[0037] In this embodiment, the mating structure of the first cover plate and the second cover plate is further defined.

[0038] The connection between the first and second cover plates is smoothly transitioned. This design simplifies manufacturing and ensures feasibility. Simultaneously, it guarantees the streamlined and aesthetically pleasing appearance of the top cover. Furthermore, this design facilitates cleaning and maintenance of the top cover, preventing dirt and other contaminants from accumulating at the connection between the first and second cover plates.

[0039] In some embodiments, the top cover may optionally include a cylindrical plate connected to the side of the second cover plate away from the first cover plate, the inner surface of the cylindrical plate enclosing a connecting section.

[0040] In this embodiment, the structure of the top cover is further defined such that the top cover also includes a cylindrical plate. The cylindrical plate is connected to the side of the second cover plate away from the first cover plate, that is, the second cover plate is connected between the first cover plate and the cylindrical plate, and the inner surface of the cylindrical plate encloses a connecting section. The cylindrical plate is used to connect with the pot body of the cooking appliance.

[0041] In some embodiments, optionally, at least a portion of the top cover is a light-transmitting cover.

[0042] In this embodiment, the structure of the top cover is further defined such that at least a portion of the top cover is a light-transmitting cover. That is, a portion of the top cover is a light-transmitting cover, or the entire top cover is a light-transmitting cover.

[0043] Understandably, light can pass through the light-transmitting cover.

[0044] When the lid assembly is placed on the pot body, the condition of the pot body can be observed through the light-transmitting lid. In other words, the cooking status of the food can be observed through the light-transmitting lid, allowing users to understand the current state of the food in a timely manner. At the same time, the light-transmitting lid can be understood as a viewing window.

[0045] Optionally, the first cover is a light-transmitting cover, and / or the second cover is a light-transmitting cover.

[0046] In some embodiments, the cover assembly may optionally include a main cover, located on one side of the top cover along the direction from the top to the bottom of the top cover, and the main cover having a cylindrical structure.

[0047] In this embodiment, the structure of the cover assembly is further defined.

[0048] The cover assembly also includes a main cover extending from the top to the bottom of the top cover, located on one side of the top cover. Specifically, the main cover has a cylindrical structure.

[0049] When steaming a large amount of food, the main lid and the top lid work together to increase the volume of the cooking cavity for cooking, thus meeting the needs of steaming large amounts of food.

[0050] When steaming a small amount of food, the food can be placed on the top cover to reduce the volume of the cooking cavity, thus meeting the needs of quickly steaming small amounts of food.

[0051] In some embodiments, the main cover and the top cover may be detachably connected.

[0052] In this embodiment, the mating structure of the main cover and the top cover is further defined.

[0053] The main cover and the top cover are detachable. That is, the main cover and the top cover can be separated or assembled together as needed.

[0054] Specifically, when steaming a small amount of food, the main lid and the top lid can be separated so that the top lid can be placed directly on the pot body to reduce the volume of the cooking cavity used for cooking, thus meeting the needs of quickly steaming a small amount of food.

[0055] Specifically, when a large amount of food needs to be steamed, the main lid and the top lid are assembled together to increase the volume of the cooking cavity for cooking, so as to meet the needs of steaming a large amount of food.

[0056] At the same time, this design facilitates the cleaning of the top cover and main cover, as well as subsequent repairs and maintenance.

[0057] In some embodiments, the cover assembly may optionally include a storage element detachably connected between the main cover and the top cover.

[0058] In this embodiment, the structure of the lid assembly is further defined such that the lid assembly also includes a storage element for holding food to be cooked. The storage element is detachably connected between the main lid and the top lid; that is, the storage element, the main lid, and the top lid can be removed according to actual usage needs. When the storage element is assembled between the main lid and the top lid, the space of the lid assembly can be fully utilized.

[0059] In some embodiments, optionally, when there are multiple main covers, the multiple main covers are sequentially detachable and connectable along the direction from the top of the top cover to the bottom of the top cover.

[0060] In this embodiment, the structure of the cover assembly is further defined.

[0061] The cover assembly includes a top cover and multiple main covers. The multiple main covers are located on the same side of the top cover. The multiple main covers are sequentially detachable and connectable along the direction from the top to the bottom of the top cover.

[0062] This design allows the structure of the lid assembly to be adjusted according to the amount of food to be steamed. For example, the top lid can be directly mounted on the pot body; the top lid and a main lid can be assembled together and connected to the pot body; or the top lid and two main lids can be assembled together, with the main lid furthest from the top lid connected to the pot body. This improves the performance of the lid assembly and can meet diverse usage needs.

[0063] In some embodiments, the main cover may optionally be a retractable cover.

[0064] In this embodiment, the structure of the main cover is further defined.

[0065] The main lid is retractable, meaning its volume is adjustable. The volume of the main lid can be adjusted according to the amount of food to be steamed, thereby adjusting the volume of the cooking cavity. This allows the product to accommodate various amounts of food, making it highly adaptable. It effectively steams food while reducing energy consumption, enhancing its performance and market competitiveness.

[0066] In some embodiments, optionally, at least one of the top cover and the main cover has a handle on its outer surface.

[0067] In this embodiment, the structure of the top cover and the main cover is further defined.

[0068] At least one of the top cover and the main cover has a handle on its outer surface. That is, the outer surface of the top cover has a handle. Or, the outer surface of the main cover has a handle. Or, the outer surface of the top cover has a handle, and the outer surface of the main cover also has a handle.

[0069] The top cover and the main cover can be easily removed and placed using a handle, which makes operation convenient and avoids the possibility of scalding the user.

[0070] In some embodiments, the main cover is optionally connected to the top cover, and the top cover is a retractable cover.

[0071] In this embodiment, the mating structure of the main cover and the top cover is further defined.

[0072] The lid is retractable, meaning its volume is adjustable. The volume of the lid can be adjusted according to the amount of food to be steamed, thus adjusting the volume of the cooking cavity. This allows the product to accommodate various amounts of food, making it highly adaptable. It effectively steams food while reducing energy consumption, enhancing its performance and market competitiveness.

[0073] For example, the main cover and the top cover are integrally connected.

[0074] The second aspect of this application provides a cooking appliance, including: a pot body; and a lid assembly as described in the first aspect, the lid assembly being disposed on the pot body.

[0075] The cooking appliance provided in this application includes a pot body and a lid assembly as described in the first aspect. Since the cooking appliance includes the lid assembly as described in the first aspect, it possesses all the beneficial effects of the aforementioned lid assembly, which will not be elaborated upon here.

Detailed Implementation

[0090] 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.

[0091] 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.

[0092] The following reference Figures 1 to 10 The cover assembly 10 and cooking appliance 40 of some embodiments of this application are described.

[0093] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, a cover assembly 10 according to some embodiments of this application is used for a cooking appliance 40, the cover assembly 10 including a top cover 100.

[0094] The top cover 100 has a receiving cavity 110.

[0095] Along the top 120 to the bottom 130 of the top cover, the receiving cavity 110 includes a receiving section 112 and a guide section 114 connected to each other.

[0096] The cross-sectional area of ​​the flow guide section 114 is larger than that of the flow accommodating section 112.

[0097] The receiving cavity 110 is used to hold food ingredients.

[0098] This application provides a lid assembly 10 for a cooking utensil 40. The lid assembly 10 includes a top cover 100, which can be directly fastened to the pot body 400 of the cooking utensil 40.

[0099] The top cover 100 has a receiving cavity 110, which is used to hold food ingredients. Food ingredients can be placed in the receiving cavity 110.

[0100] Along the top 120 to the bottom 130 of the top cover, the receiving cavity 110 includes a receiving section 112 and a guide section 114, with the receiving section 112 connected to the guide section 114. That is, the receiving section 112 is located above the guide section 114.

[0101] It is understandable that both the containing section 112 and the guiding section 114 can contain food ingredients, which can be placed in the containing section 112 and the guiding section 114.

[0102] The flow-through cross-sectional area of ​​the guide section 114 is larger than that of the receiving section 112. That is, the volume of the receiving cavity 110 tends to decrease from the bottom 130 to the top 120 of the top cover, while the volume of the receiving section 112 is smaller. When steaming a small amount of food (such as a few eggs, a few buns, or a bowl of vegetables), the food can be placed in the receiving section 112 of the receiving cavity 110. The smaller volume of the receiving section 112 allows for efficient steaming of small amounts of food while reducing the energy consumption of the cooking appliance 40, thus improving its efficiency and performance.

[0103] It is understandable that the cross-sectional area of ​​the flow guide section 114 is larger than that of the flow containment section 112. The flow guide section 114 has the function of guiding the condensate, so that the condensate is effectively guided to the edge of the top cover 100. In this way, when the cover assembly 10 is opened, the amount of condensate dripping onto the food can be reduced, which can ensure the cooking taste of the food and the cooking effect of the steamer.

[0104] It is understandable that the receiving section 112 is cross-sectionally divided along a direction perpendicular to the top 120 of the top cover to the bottom 130 of the top cover, and the cross-sectional area of ​​the receiving section 112 is the flow cross-sectional area of ​​the receiving section 112.

[0105] It is understandable that the flow guide section 114 is cross-sectionally divided along a direction perpendicular to the top 120 of the top cover to the bottom 130 of the top cover, and the cross-sectional area of ​​the flow guide section 114 is the flow cross-sectional area of ​​the flow guide section 114.

[0106] In some embodiments, optionally, the cross-sectional area of ​​at least one of the receiving section 112 and the guiding section 114 gradually increases from the top 120 to the bottom 130 of the top cover.

[0107] In this embodiment, the flow cross-sectional area of ​​the accommodating section 112 gradually increases from the top 120 to the bottom 130 of the top cover. Alternatively, the flow cross-sectional area of ​​the guiding section 114 gradually increases from the top 120 to the bottom 130 of the top cover. Alternatively, both the flow cross-sectional areas of the accommodating section 112 and the guiding section 114 gradually increase from the top 120 to the bottom 130 of the top cover.

[0108] As the cross-sectional area of ​​the receiving section 112 gradually increases, this design makes it easier to place food within the receiving section 112, enhancing the convenience of taking food out and putting it in. Simultaneously, the gradually increasing cross-sectional area of ​​the receiving section 112 means that the walls surrounding the receiving section 112 extend at an angle. This angled extension of the walls has a guiding effect, allowing condensate adhering to the walls of the receiving section 112 to slide down at an angle to the edge of the top cover 100. This reduces the amount of condensate dripping onto the food when the cover assembly 10 is opened, ensuring the food's cooking texture and flavor.

[0109] As the cross-sectional area of ​​the flow guide section 114 gradually increases, it means that the wall surrounding the flow guide section 114 extends at an angle. The angled wall has a flow guiding function, allowing the condensed water adhering to the wall of the flow guide section 114 to slide down at an angle to the edge of the top cover 100. In this way, when the cover assembly 10 is opened, the amount of condensed water dripping onto the food will be reduced, ensuring the cooking taste of the food.

[0110] In some embodiments, optionally, such as Figure 4 As shown, the accommodating section 112 is a cylindrical section.

[0111] In this embodiment, the structure of the accommodating segment 112 is defined.

[0112] When the accommodating section 112 is a cylindrical section, a small amount of food can be placed in the cylindrical section to ensure that a small amount of food is steamed effectively while reducing the energy consumption of the cooking appliance 40, which is conducive to improving the efficiency of the cooking appliance 40.

[0113] In some embodiments, optionally, such as Figure 5 As shown, the accommodating section 112 includes a plurality of accommodating sub-sections 1122, which are arranged in a direction perpendicular to the top 120 of the top cover to the bottom 130 of the top cover.

[0114] In this embodiment, the structure of the accommodating segment 112 is defined.

[0115] When the accommodating section 112 includes multiple accommodating sub-sections 1122, the multiple accommodating sub-sections 1122 are arranged in a direction perpendicular to the top 120 of the top cover to the bottom 130 of the top cover. Each accommodating sub-section 1122 can hold a small amount of food. For example, at least one egg, at least one steamed bun, or a bowl of vegetables can be placed in the accommodating sub-section 1122, etc., are all examples. This setting reduces the energy consumption of the cooking appliance 40 while ensuring the effective steaming of a small amount of food, which is beneficial to improving the efficiency of the cooking appliance 40.

[0116] In some embodiments, the accommodating segment 112 may be an annular segment.

[0117] In this embodiment, the structure of the accommodating segment 112 is defined.

[0118] When the accommodating section 112 is an annular section, a small amount of food can be placed in the annular section to ensure that a small amount of food is steamed effectively while reducing the energy consumption of the cooking appliance 40, which is conducive to improving the efficiency of the cooking appliance 40.

[0119] In some embodiments, optionally, such as Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the receiving cavity 110 also includes a connecting section 116.

[0120] The guide section 114 is connected between the receiving section 112 and the connecting section 116.

[0121] The cross-sectional area of ​​the connecting section 116 is larger than that of the guide section 114.

[0122] In this embodiment, the structure of the cover assembly 10 is further defined.

[0123] The cover assembly 10 has a receiving cavity 110, which includes a receiving section 112, a flow guiding section 114, and a connecting section 116. Along the direction from the top 120 to the bottom 130 of the top cover, the flow guiding section 114 connects the receiving section 112 and the connecting section 116, and the flow cross-sectional area of ​​the connecting section 116 is larger than the flow cross-sectional area of ​​the flow guiding section 114.

[0124] The connecting section 116 is used to mate with the pot body 400 to meet the usage requirements of effective assembly of the lid assembly 10 and the pot body 400. The steam generated in the pot body 400 diffuses through the connecting section 116 to the guide section 114, and then enters the receiving section 112 through the guide section 114. Since the flow cross-sectional area of ​​the connecting section 116 is uniform from the top 120 to the bottom 130 of the top cover, the steam flow through the connecting section 116 can reduce the detour of the airflow, which helps to reduce the flow loss of the airflow and allows the steam to quickly fill the receiving cavity 110.

[0125] It is understandable that the connecting section 116 is cross-sectionally divided along a direction perpendicular to the top 120 of the top cover to the bottom 130 of the top cover, and the cross-sectional area of ​​the connecting section 116 is the flow cross-sectional area of ​​the connecting section 116.

[0126] For example, the connecting segment 116 is a cylindrical segment.

[0127] In some embodiments, optionally, such as Figure 2 As shown, the top cover 100 includes a first cover plate 140 and a second cover plate 150.

[0128] The first cover plate 140 has a groove-shaped structure.

[0129] The inner surface of the first cover plate 140 encloses the receiving section 112.

[0130] The second cover plate 150 surrounds the first cover plate 140 and extends obliquely from the open end of the first cover plate 140 in a direction away from the first cover plate 140.

[0131] The inner surface of the second cover plate 150 encloses the guide section 114.

[0132] In this embodiment, the top cover 100 includes a first cover plate 140 and a second cover plate 150, which are connected together.

[0133] Specifically, the first cover plate 140 has a groove-shaped structure, and its inner surface encloses an accommodating section 112. The second cover plate 150 surrounds the first cover plate 140, and extends obliquely from the open end of the first cover plate 140 in a direction away from the first cover plate 140. That is, along the top 120 to the bottom 130 of the top cover, the height of the second cover plate 150 is lower than the height of the first cover plate 140.

[0134] The guide section 114 enclosed by the inner surface of the second cover plate 150 surrounds the receiving section 112 enclosed by the inner surface of the first cover plate 140. This satisfies the requirement that the flow cross-sectional area of ​​the guide section 114 is larger than that of the receiving section 112, thereby meeting the requirement of quickly steaming small amounts of food.

[0135] Meanwhile, the inclined second cover plate 150 has a guiding function, allowing the condensate adhering to the second cover plate 150 to slide obliquely along the inner surface of the second cover plate 150 to the edge of the second cover plate 150. In this way, when the cover assembly 10 is opened, the amount of condensate dripping onto the food will be reduced, ensuring the cooking taste of the food.

[0136] In some embodiments, the connection between the first cover plate 140 and the second cover plate 150 is optionally smoothed.

[0137] In this embodiment, the mating structure of the first cover plate 140 and the second cover plate 150 is further defined.

[0138] The connection between the first cover plate 140 and the second cover plate 150 is smoothly transitioned. This design simplifies the manufacturing process and ensures its feasibility. Simultaneously, it guarantees the streamlined and aesthetically pleasing appearance of the top cover 100. Furthermore, this design facilitates the cleaning and maintenance of the top cover 100, preventing dirt and other contaminants from accumulating at the connection between the first cover plate 140 and the second cover plate 150.

[0139] In some embodiments, optionally, such as Figure 2 As shown, the top cover 100 also includes a cylindrical plate 160.

[0140] The cylindrical plate 160 is connected to the second cover plate 150 on the side opposite to the first cover plate 140.

[0141] The inner surface of the cylindrical plate 160 encloses the connecting section 116.

[0142] In this embodiment, the structure of the top cover 100 is further defined such that the top cover 100 also includes a cylindrical plate 160. The cylindrical plate 160 is connected to the side of the second cover plate 150 opposite to the first cover plate 140, that is, the second cover plate 150 is connected between the first cover plate 140 and the cylindrical plate 160.

[0145] Understandably, light can pass through the light-transmitting cover.

[0146] When the lid assembly 10 is placed on the pot body 400, the condition of the pot body 400 can be observed through the light-transmitting lid. That is, the cooking status of the food can be observed through the light-transmitting lid, so that the user can understand the current status of the food in a timely manner. At the same time, the light-transmitting lid can be understood as a viewing window.

[0147] Optionally, the first cover plate 140 is a light-transmitting cover, and / or the second cover plate 150 is a light-transmitting cover.

[0148] In some embodiments, optionally, such as Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 , Figure 7 , Figure 8 and Figure 9 As shown, the cover assembly 10 also includes a main cover 200.

[0151] The cover assembly 10 also includes a main cover 200 extending from the top 120 of the top cover to the bottom 130 of the top cover, with the main cover 200 located on one side of the top cover 100. Specifically, the main cover 200 has a cylindrical structure.

[0152] When a large amount of food needs to be steamed, the main cover 200 and the top cover 100 work together to increase the volume of the cooking cavity for cooking, so as to meet the needs of steaming a large amount of food.

[0153] When steaming a small amount of food, the food can be placed at position 100 on the top cover to reduce the volume of the cooking cavity used for cooking, thus meeting the needs of quickly steaming small amounts of food.

[0154] In some embodiments, the main cover 200 and the top cover 100 may be detachably connected.

[0155] In this embodiment, the mating structure of the main cover 200 and the top cover 100 is further defined.

[0156] The main cover 200 and the top cover 100 are detachably connected. That is, the main cover 200 and the top cover 100 can be separated or assembled together according to actual use needs.

[0157] Specifically, when a small amount of food needs to be steamed, the main cover 200 is separated from the top cover 100, so that the top cover 100 is placed directly on the pot body 400 to reduce the volume of the cooking cavity used for cooking, so as to meet the needs of quickly steaming a small amount of food.

[0158] Specifically, when a large amount of food needs to be steamed, the main cover 200 and the top cover 100 are assembled together to increase the volume of the cooking cavity for cooking, so as to meet the needs of steaming a large amount of food.

[0159] At the same time, this arrangement facilitates the cleaning of the top cover 100 and the main cover 200, as well as subsequent repairs and maintenance.
