Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of small household appliance technology, and more specifically, to a cooking utensil. Background Technology
[0002] The cooking machine includes a pot body, a lid, and stirring blades. The lid is connected to the pot body in a way that allows it to open and close or be detached, while the stirring blades are rotatably mounted inside the pot. When the stirring blades rotate inside the pot, food inside the pot can easily push up the lid, causing it to shift off the pot's surface. An unreliable connection between the lid and the pot can lead to food overflowing from the pot or the cooking appliance detecting the lid's shift, resulting in a program error and affecting the cooking process.
[0003] To ensure a more reliable connection between the lid and the pot body and reduce the probability of the lid being lifted, in related technologies, a recessed part is provided on the inner pot of the pot body. The lid and the recessed part are inserted into each other to make the connection between the lid and the inner pot more reliable. The inner pot has a through hole through which fasteners are inserted to fix the recessed part to the inner pot.
[0004] However, the separate groove on the inner pot and its fastener fixation result in a higher manufacturing cost for the cooking appliance. Utility Model Content
[0005] The main objective of this invention is to provide a cooking appliance that addresses the problem of high manufacturing costs in related technologies.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides a cooking utensil. The cooking utensil includes a shell, an inner pot, and a lid. A slot is provided on the shell. The inner pot is disposed within the shell. A first side of the lid has a protruding insertion point that engages with the slot. The second side of the lid engages with the inner pot. This engagement of the protruding insertion point on the lid with the slot on the shell, and the engagement between the lid and the inner pot, makes the connection between the lid and the shell more reliable, effectively preventing food from pushing up the lid during cooking, thus avoiding food spillage and reducing program errors, thereby improving the reliability of the cooking utensil in use. Furthermore, by placing the slot on the shell, a portion of the shell is used to create the slot, eliminating the need for a separate recessed part as in related technologies, and saving the process of using fasteners to fix the recessed part. This makes the slot easier to manufacture and reduces the manufacturing cost of the cooking utensil. Through the above design, the manufacturing cost of the cooking utensil is reduced while improving the reliability of the connection between the lid and the pot. Therefore, the technical solution of this application effectively solves the problem of high manufacturing costs for cooking utensils in related technologies.
[0007] Furthermore, the shell includes a shell body and a protrusion disposed on the shell body, with a slot disposed on the protrusion. The protrusion and shell body are integrally molded. Integrating the protrusion and shell body as an integral molded part reduces the number of parts and assembly steps, lowers manufacturing and processing costs, and makes the connection between the protrusion and shell body more reliable. Moreover, integrating the protrusion and shell body as an integral molded part reduces gaps generated during assembly, which is beneficial for the hygiene and cleaning of the cooking appliance.
[0008] Furthermore, the slot penetrates the two opposite sidewalls of the protrusion; and / or, the shell body has a receiving cavity and an opening communicating with the receiving cavity, the inner pot is disposed within the receiving cavity, and the protrusion is disposed at the opening. This facilitates the operator's observation of the engagement between the protrusion and the slot, simplifying operation. Positioning the protrusion at the opening of the shell body makes the engagement between the protrusion and the slot more convenient. It also allows for a closer placement of the protrusion to the insertion protrusion, reducing the material required for protrusion processing and thus lowering the manufacturing cost of the shell.
[0009] Furthermore, the housing includes a housing body and a protrusion disposed on the housing body. A slot is disposed on the protrusion, which extends vertically, and a mating protrusion extends horizontally. The vertical extension of the protrusion and the horizontal extension of the mating protrusion are designed to facilitate the mating of the mating protrusion and the slot, increasing the stability during the mating.
[0010] Furthermore, the insertion protrusion includes a mounting block disposed on the cover and an insertion block disposed on the mounting block. The mounting block is positioned between the cover and the insertion block, and the insertion block engages with the slot. The thickness of the mounting block is greater than the thickness of the insertion block. This design, with a thicker mounting block connecting to the cover, facilitates the connection operation between the mounting block and the cover, and also makes the connection between the mounting block and the cover more reliable. Conversely, the design, with a thinner insertion block engaging with the slot, facilitates the processing of the slot and the engagement of the insertion block with the slot.
[0011] Furthermore, the upper surface of the insertion protrusion is provided with a first inclined surface, which gradually slopes downward in a horizontal direction from near the cover to away from the cover. During the insertion and engagement of the insertion protrusion and the slot, the first inclined surface can act as a guide, making the insertion of the insertion protrusion into the slot smoother and reducing the difficulty of alignment between the insertion protrusion and the slot during the insertion and engagement process.
[0012] Furthermore, a second inclined surface corresponding to the first inclined surface is provided on the side wall of the slot. The second inclined surface gradually slopes downwards in the horizontal direction from near the cover to far away from the cover. During the insertion and engagement of the protrusion and the slot, the second inclined surface acts as a guide, making the insertion of the protrusion into the slot smoother. Moreover, when the protrusion and the slot are engaged, the second inclined surface makes the gap between the side wall of the slot and the first inclined surface more uniform, resulting in more even stress on the side wall of the slot and providing a better seal when the cover is closed.
[0013] Furthermore, when the protrusion and slot are engaged, the first and second inclined surfaces are arranged parallel to each other; and / or, there is a clearance between the first and second inclined surfaces. The parallel arrangement of the first and second inclined surfaces increases the contact area when they are subjected to external force, making the force on the protrusion and slot more even, thus improving the reliability of the lid on the inner pot. The clearance reduces difficulties in insertion due to manufacturing tolerances, lowering the production difficulty and cost of the protrusion and the shell.
[0014] Furthermore, the cooking appliance also includes fasteners, with a receiving groove on the insertion protrusion for accommodating the fasteners; the cooking appliance also includes a sealing element, which is removably disposed at the opening of the receiving groove and used to cover the fasteners; and / or, the fasteners include a connecting rod and a stop head disposed at one end of the connecting rod, a through hole is provided on the bottom wall of the receiving groove, the connecting rod passes through the through hole to connect with the cover, and the stop head engages with the stop on the bottom wall of the receiving groove. The receiving groove on the insertion protrusion facilitates the installation of the fasteners. The sealing element covers the fasteners, thereby enhancing the cleanliness of the appearance and reducing cleaning difficulty. The through hole facilitates the avoidance of the connecting rod, allowing the connecting rod to connect with the cover. The stop head engages with the stop on the bottom wall of the receiving groove to securely connect the insertion protrusion to the cover.
[0015] Furthermore, the inner pot includes a pot body and a first handle connected to the pot body, and the lid includes a lid body and a second handle connected to the lid body. A connecting protrusion is spaced apart from the second handle on the lid body. The cooking utensil also includes a snap-fit structure between the first and second handles, which engages with each other. This allows the operator to open the lid by holding the second handle, and the first handle facilitates gripping and securing the inner pot. The snap-fit structure between the first and second handles facilitates the engagement of the inner pot and the lid. The design of the first and second handles also facilitates the installation of the snap-fit structure.
[0016] Furthermore, the snap-fit structure includes a fixed hook and a movable hook that engage in a snap-fit configuration. One of the fixed hook and the movable hook is located on the first handle, and the other is located on the second handle. The movable hook is movably mounted and can be separated from the fixed hook when driven. This separable design of the fixed and movable hooks allows the operator to open the lid by driving the movable hook, making the lid-opening operation more convenient. The structure of the fixed and movable hooks is simple and easy to manufacture. Attached Figure Description

In all examples shown and discussed herein, any specific values should be interpreted as merely exemplary and not as limitations. Therefore, other examples of exemplary embodiments may have different values. It should be noted that similar reference numerals and letters in the following drawings denote similar items; therefore, once an item is defined in one drawing, it need not be further discussed in subsequent drawings.
[0034] In this embodiment, as Figures 1 to 4As shown, the cooking appliance includes a shell 10, an inner pot, and a lid 30. A slot 121 is provided on the shell 10. The inner pot is disposed within the shell 10. A insertion protrusion 32 is provided on a first side of the lid 30, which can be inserted into the slot 121. A second side of the lid 30 can be engaged with the inner pot.
[0035] In this way, the insertion protrusion 32 on the lid 30 engages with the slot 121 on the shell 10, and the lid 30 snaps into the inner pot, making the connection between the lid 30 and the shell 10 more reliable. This effectively prevents food from pushing up the lid 30 during cooking, thus avoiding food spillage and reducing program errors, improving the reliability of the cooking appliance during use. Furthermore, by placing the slot 121 on the shell 10, a portion of the shell 10 is used to create the slot 121, eliminating the need for a separate recess as in related technologies and saving the process of using fasteners to fix the recess. This makes the slot 121 easier to manufacture, reducing the manufacturing cost of the cooking appliance. Through the above design, the manufacturing cost of the cooking appliance is reduced while improving the reliability of the connection between the lid 30 and the pot. Therefore, the technical solution of this application effectively solves the problem of high manufacturing costs for cooking appliances in related technologies.
[0036] Furthermore, through the above-mentioned arrangement, the shell 10 and the lid 30 can be fixedly connected, and the lid 30 and the inner pot can be fixedly connected, thereby fixing the shell 10, the lid 30 and the inner pot together, further improving the sealing and stability of the cooking utensil during use.
[0037] In this embodiment, the angle formed by the first side and the second side of the cover 30 with respect to the center of the cover 30 is greater than or equal to 120°. Preferably, the angle formed by the first side and the second side of the cover 30 with respect to the center of the cover 30 is 180°, that is, the first side and the second side of the cover 30 are arranged opposite to each other.
[0038] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, the housing 10 includes a housing body 11 and a protrusion 12 disposed on the housing body 11. A slot 121 is disposed on the protrusion 12, and the protrusion 12 and the housing body 11 are integrally formed. By making the protrusion 12 and the housing body 11 integrally formed, the number of parts and assembly steps are reduced, manufacturing and processing costs are lowered, and the connection between the protrusion 12 and the housing body 11 is more reliable, while also improving the overall durability and reliability of the product.
[0039] like Figures 1 to 6As shown, the slot 121 penetrates the two opposite sidewalls of the protrusion 12. This facilitates the operator's observation of the engagement between the protrusion 32 and the slot 121, simplifying operation. Furthermore, this arrangement reduces the material required for machining the protrusion 12, making the structure of the housing 10 more compact and lowering its cost. The housing body 11 has a receiving cavity 111 and an opening 112 communicating with the receiving cavity 111. The inner pot is disposed within the receiving cavity 111, and the protrusion 12 is located at the opening 112. Positioning the protrusion 12 at the opening 112 of the housing body 11 makes the engagement of the protrusion 32 and the slot 121 more convenient. Moreover, positioning the protrusion 12 at the opening 112 of the housing body 11 allows it to be positioned closer to the protrusion 32, reducing the material required for machining the protrusion 12 and thus lowering the manufacturing cost of the housing 10.
[0040] In other embodiments, the slot 121 penetrates the two opposing sidewalls of the protrusion 12. Alternatively, the shell body 11 has a receiving cavity 111 and an opening 112 communicating with the receiving cavity 111, the inner pot is disposed in the receiving cavity 111, and the protrusion 12 is disposed at the opening 112.
[0041] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, the housing 10 includes a housing body 11 and a protrusion 12 disposed on the housing body 11, with a slot 121 disposed on the protrusion 12. The protrusion 12 extends vertically, and the insertion protrusion 32 extends horizontally. The vertical extension of the protrusion 12 and the horizontal extension of the insertion protrusion 32 are designed to facilitate the insertion and engagement of the insertion protrusion 32 and the slot 121, increasing the stability during the insertion and engagement, making the connection between the lid 30 and the housing 10 more reliable, and reducing the shaking of the lid 30 during cooking.
[0042] It should be noted that the vertical direction refers to the direction whose angle with the vertical direction is less than or equal to 30°. The horizontal direction refers to the direction whose angle with the horizontal direction is less than or equal to 30°. Preferably, the protrusion 12 extends vertically, and the insertion protrusion 32 extends horizontally.
[0043] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, the insertion protrusion 32 includes a mounting block 321 disposed on the cover 30 and an insertion block 324 disposed on the mounting block 321. The mounting block 321 is positioned between the cover 30 and the insertion block 324, and the insertion block 324 is inserted into the slot 121. The thickness of the mounting block 321 is greater than the thickness of the insertion block 324. This design, by making the mounting block 321, which connects to the cover 30, thicker, facilitates the connection operation between the mounting block 321 and the cover 30, and also makes the connection between the mounting block 321 and the cover 30 more reliable. Conversely, by making the insertion block 324, which engages with the slot 121, thinner, it facilitates the processing of the slot 121 and the insertion of the insertion block 324 into the slot 121.
[0044] In this embodiment, the mounting block 321 is connected to the cover 30 via fastener 41. The mounting block 321 is made relatively thick to facilitate installation and removal by the operator. The mounting block 321 and the insert block 324 are integrally formed, reducing the number of parts and lowering costs. The cooking appliance also includes a mounting bracket 43 mounted on the cover 30. The mounting block 321 is connected to the mounting bracket 43, and the mounting block 321 has a clearance groove, within which the mounting bracket 43 is located. A lid-closing detection element is provided on the housing 10, and a lid-closing sensor is provided within the insertion protrusion 32. When the cover 30 is closed, the lid-closing detection element detects the lid-closing sensor to determine that the cooking appliance is in a closed state.
[0045] It should be noted that the thickness of the mounting block 321 refers to the distance between the upper and lower surfaces of the mounting block 321 when the insertion protrusion 32 is inserted into the slot 121. The thickness of the insertion block 324 refers to the distance between the upper and lower surfaces of the insertion block 324 when the insertion protrusion 32 is inserted into the slot 121.
[0046] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, the upper surface of the insertion protrusion 32 is provided with a first inclined surface 325, which gradually slopes downward in a horizontal direction from near the cover 30 to away from the cover 30. During the insertion and engagement of the insertion protrusion 32 and the slot 121, the first inclined surface 325 acts as a guide, making the insertion of the insertion protrusion 32 into the slot 121 smoother, reducing the difficulty of alignment between the insertion protrusion 32 and the slot 121, and improving insertion efficiency and user experience.
[0047] In this embodiment, the insertion protrusion 32 is formed by injection molding. The first inclined surface 325 facilitates the demolding operation of the insertion protrusion 32 and improves the production qualification rate of the insertion protrusion 32. The first inclined surface 325 is provided on the upper surface of the insertion block 324.
[0048] like Figures 1 to 6As shown, a second inclined surface 122 corresponding to the first inclined surface 325 is provided on the side wall of the slot 121. The second inclined surface 122 is gradually inclined downward in the horizontal direction from near the cover 30 to away from the cover 30. During the insertion and engagement of the insertion protrusion 32 and the slot 121, the second inclined surface 122 acts as a guide, making the insertion of the insertion protrusion 32 into the slot 121 smoother and further reducing the difficulty of alignment between the insertion protrusion 32 and the slot 121. Furthermore, when the insertion protrusion 32 and the slot 121 are engaged, the second inclined surface 122 makes the gap between the side wall of the slot 121 and the first inclined surface 325 more uniform, making the force on the side wall of the slot 121 more even, and providing a better sealing effect when the cover 30 is closed, preventing food from spilling out during cooking.
[0049] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, when the insertion protrusion 32 is inserted into the slot 121, the first inclined surface 325 and the second inclined surface 122 are arranged parallel to each other. This parallel arrangement of the first inclined surface 325 and the second inclined surface 122 increases the contact area when subjected to external force, making the force on the insertion protrusion 32 and the slot 121 more even, thus improving the reliability of the cover 30 on the inner pot. A fitting gap exists between the first inclined surface 325 and the second inclined surface 122. This fitting gap reduces insertion difficulties caused by manufacturing tolerances, lowering the production difficulty and cost of the insertion protrusion 32 and the housing 10.
[0050] In this embodiment, when separating the lid 30 from the inner pot, first, the second side of the lid 30 is separated from the inner pot, and then the insertion protrusion 32 is removed from the slot 121. When separating the second side of the lid 30 from the inner pot, the second side of the lid 30 needs to be lifted upwards, which reduces the fitting gap. The fitting gap is designed to facilitate lifting the second side of the lid 30 upwards, thus facilitating the separation of the lid 30 from the inner pot. The fit between the lid 30 and the inner pot is described in the snap-fit structure below.
[0051] In other embodiments, when the insertion protrusion 32 is inserted into the slot 121, the first inclined surface 325 and the second inclined surface 122 are arranged parallel to each other. Alternatively, there is a mating gap between the first inclined surface 325 and the second inclined surface 122.
[0052] like Figures 1 to 6As shown, the cooking appliance also includes a fastener 41, and a receiving groove 322 for accommodating the fastener 41 is provided on the insertion protrusion 32. The cooking appliance also includes a sealing member 42, which is detachably provided at the opening of the receiving groove 322 and is used to cover the fastener 41. The receiving groove 322 on the insertion protrusion 32 facilitates the installation of the fastener 41. The sealing member 42 can cover the fastener 41, thereby enhancing the cleanliness of the appearance and reducing the difficulty of cleaning. The fastener 41 includes a connecting rod 411 and a stop head 412 provided at one end of the connecting rod 411. A through hole is provided on the bottom wall 323 of the receiving groove 322, through which the connecting rod 411 passes to connect with the cover 30, and the stop head 412 stops and cooperates with the bottom wall 323 of the receiving groove 322. The through hole facilitates the avoidance of the connecting rod 411 so that the connecting rod 411 can be connected with the cover 30. The stop head 412 is designed to cooperate with the bottom wall 323 of the receiving groove 322 to fix the insertion protrusion 32 to the cover 30.
[0053] In this embodiment, the receiving groove 322 is disposed on the mounting block 321. The bottom wall 323 of the receiving groove 322 refers to the surface opposite to the opening of the receiving groove 322. The sealing member 42 is interference-fitted with the opening of the receiving groove 322.
[0054] In other embodiments, the cooking appliance further includes a fastener 41, and the insertion protrusion 32 is provided with a receiving groove 322 for accommodating the fastener 41; the cooking appliance also includes a sealing member 42, which is detachably disposed at the opening of the receiving groove 322 and used to cover the fastener 41. Alternatively, the fastener 41 includes a connecting rod 411 and a stop head 412 disposed at one end of the connecting rod 411, and a through hole is provided on the bottom wall 323 of the receiving groove 322, through which the connecting rod 411 passes to connect with the cover 30, and the stop head 412 stops and cooperates with the bottom wall 323 of the receiving groove 322.
[0055] like Figures 1 to 7 As shown, the inner pot includes a pot body 21 and a first handle 22 connected to the pot body 21. The lid 30 includes a lid body 31 and a second handle 33 connected to the lid body 31, with a connecting protrusion 32 and the second handle 33 spaced apart on the lid body 31. The cooking utensil also includes a snap-fit structure between the first handle 22 and the second handle 33, which engages with each other. This allows the operator to open the lid by holding the second handle 33, and the first handle 22 facilitates the operator's gripping and securing of the inner pot. The snap-fit structure between the first handle 22 and the second handle 33 facilitates the engagement of the inner pot with the lid 30. The arrangement of the first handle 22 and the second handle 33 also facilitates the installation of the snap-fit structure.
[0056] like Figures 1 to 7As shown, the snap-fit structure includes a fixed snap-fit hook 51 and a movable snap-fit hook 52. The fixed snap-fit hook 51 is located on the first handle 22, and the movable snap-fit hook 52 is located on the second handle 33. The movable snap-fit hook 52 is movably mounted and can be separated from the fixed snap-fit hook 51 when driven. The separable design of the fixed snap-fit hook 51 and the movable snap-fit hook 52 allows the operator to open the cover 30 by driving the movable snap-fit hook 52, making the opening operation more convenient. The structure of the fixed snap-fit hook 51 and the movable snap-fit hook 52 is simple and easy to manufacture.
[0057] In this embodiment, the housing 10 is provided with a limiting groove 13 that cooperates with the first handle 22. This reduces the deflection of the inner pot within the housing 10, making the connection between the housing 10, the inner pot, and the lid 30 more stable and reliable. The cooking appliance also includes a button on the second handle 33, which is driven by a movable hook 52. The operator can press the button on the second handle 33 to drive the movable hook 52, thereby allowing the lid 30 to separate from the inner pot.
[0058] In other embodiments, the movable hook 52 is disposed on the first handle 22, and the fixed hook 51 is disposed on the second handle 33.
[0059] In this embodiment, the cooking appliance is a stir-fry machine. Of course, in other embodiments, the cooking appliance can also be a multi-functional pot, bread maker, food processor, soy milk maker, etc.
