A pot lid that can automatically close the vent valve

Abstract

This utility model relates to the field of pot lid technology, specifically a pot lid capable of automatically closing the exhaust valve. The lid has an exhaust valve and a lever, with a lever connecting the exhaust valve and the lever. The lever is operatively connected to both the exhaust valve and the lever. The lever has a first guide surface, and a push rod is located inside the lid, below the first guide surface. When the lever moves backward, its front end slides and presses the right end of the lever, causing it to rotate. This causes the left end of the lever to lift and open the exhaust valve, allowing the first guide surface to move above the push rod. When the lid is placed on the pot, the lower end of the push rod abuts against the pot, causing the push rod to move upward and abut against the first guide surface, pushing the lever forward. This disengages the front end of the lever from the right end of the lever, allowing the exhaust valve to reset and close. Even if the user forgets to manually reset the exhaust valve, placing the lid on the pot will automatically reset and close the exhaust valve, ensuring user safety during use.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of pot lid technology, and in particular to a pot lid that can automatically close the exhaust valve. Background Technology

[0002] An electric pressure cooker is a type of kitchen appliance. Due to its advantages such as good cooking effect, speed, and energy saving, electric pressure cookers have entered thousands of households and become one of the essential kitchen appliances. After cooking, users can manually operate the pressure release valve to quickly release the pressure inside the pot, ensuring safe and fast cooking.

[0003] For example, patent CN217592544U discloses a cooking appliance that can switch between the functions of an electric pressure cooker and a rice cooker, comprising: an outer pot, an inner pot disposed inside the outer pot, a lid disposed at the opening of the outer pot, an exhaust valve and a lever disposed on the lid, a lever disposed between the exhaust valve and the lever, one end of the lever being disposed at the bottom end of the exhaust valve, the other end of the lever being disposed at the bottom end of the lever, a slider disposed on the lever, when the slider slides and presses against one end of the lever, the other end of the lever lifts up and opens the exhaust valve; when the slider slides away from one end of the lever, the other end of the lever moves away from the bottom end of the exhaust valve, and the exhaust valve falls down and closes.

[0004] The problem with the above technology is that the exhaust valve on the lid can be opened by sliding the lever with a toggle, but it needs to be manually reset to close. Users may forget to manually reset the toggle, leaving the exhaust valve in the open position, which poses a certain danger when using an electric pressure cooker.

[0005] To address this issue, a pot lid capable of automatically closing the exhaust valve is proposed. Utility Model Content

[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a pot lid that can automatically close the exhaust valve when the pot lid is placed.

[0007] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve the problem is: a pot lid that can automatically close the exhaust valve, including a lid body, on which an exhaust valve and a lever that can move back and forth are movably disposed, and a lever is disposed between the exhaust valve and the lever. The left and right ends of the lever are respectively drivenly connected to the exhaust valve and the front end of the lever. A first guide surface is disposed at the rear end of the lever. A vertically movable top rod is elastically disposed inside the lid body. The top rod is located below the first guide surface, and the lower end of the top rod extends to the outside of the lid body. When the lever moves backward, the front end of the lever can slide and squeeze the right end of the lever and make it rotate, so that the left end of the lever lifts up and opens the exhaust valve, and the first guide surface moves above the top rod.

[0008] As a further improvement to the above technical solution, the rear end of the lever is provided with a downwardly extending protrusion, and the first guide surface is disposed on the protrusion.

[0009] As a further improvement to the above technical solution, the cover body is provided with an installation groove that communicates with the outside, the top rod is movably disposed in the installation groove, and a spring is sleeved on the top rod, the spring being located in the installation groove.

[0010] As a further improvement to the above technical solution, the front end of the lever is provided with a second guide surface, which is located above the right end of the lever.

[0011] As a further improvement to the above technical solution, a mounting plate is provided below the toggle block, a limit groove is provided on the mounting plate, a limit block is provided on the toggle block, and the limit block is located in the limit groove.

[0012] As a further improvement to the above technical solution, a first bearing seat is provided inside the cover body, and a second bearing seat is provided on the mounting plate. The first bearing seat and the second bearing seat are respectively provided on the front and rear sides of the lever. A shaft is provided on the lever, and the shaft is rotatably connected to the first bearing seat and the second bearing seat.

[0013] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: When the lever moves backward, the front end of the lever can slide and squeeze the right end of the lever and make it rotate, so that the left end of the lever will lift and open the exhaust valve. The first guide surface can move above the top rod. When the cover is placed on the pot, the lower end of the top rod can abut against the pot, so that the top rod moves upward and abuts against the first guide surface and pushes the lever forward, so that the front end of the lever is disengaged from the right end of the lever. At this time, the exhaust valve can be reset and closed. If the user forgets to manually reset the exhaust valve, the exhaust valve can also be reset and closed when the cover is placed on the pot, which can ensure the safety of the user during use.
