[0042] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0043] It should be noted that the term "an embodiment" or "embodiment" in the specification of the embodiments of this application refers to a specific feature, structure, or characteristic that can be included in at least one implementation of this application. It should be understood that in the specification, claims, and accompanying drawings of the embodiments of this application, the terms "upper," "lower," "top," "bottom," etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing this application and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation of this application. The terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of indicated technical features. Thus, a feature defined with "first" and "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature. Moreover, the terms "first," "second," etc., are used to distinguish similar objects and are not necessarily used to describe a specific order or sequence.

[0044] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, this application provides a kitchen appliance with a lid locking structure. The kitchen appliance includes a lid 1, a body 2 and a rotating connecting assembly 3. The lid 1 is rotatably mounted on the body 2 through the rotating connecting assembly 3. The lid 1 can rotate relative to the body 2, thereby realizing the opening and closing of the lid 1.

[0045] In one possible embodiment, the rotating connection assembly 3 includes a rotating component 31 and a locking component 32. The rotating component 31 can be connected to the cover 1. The rotating component 31 can be fixedly connected to the cover 1 by welding, bolting or other connection methods. The rotating component 31 can rotate synchronously with the cover 1. During the opening and closing of the cover 1, the rotating component 31 can always maintain the same rotation angle and rotation direction as the cover 1 and rotate synchronously.

[0046] Optionally, the locking component 32 can be disposed on the body 2. The locking component 32 can be fixedly disposed on the body 2, or it can be detachably disposed on the body 2. When the rotating member 31 rotates to a first preset angle in a preset direction, the rotating member 31 can lock with the locking component 32. The first preset angle can be the limit angle of the rotating member 31's rotation in the preset direction. When the rotating member 31 rotates to the first preset angle, the rotating member 31 can no longer continue to rotate in the preset direction.

[0047] Since the rotating component 31 rotates synchronously with the cover 1 and the locking component 32 is set on the body 2, the locking of the rotating component 31 and the locking component 32 can also be regarded as the locking of the cover 1 and the body 2. Thus, after the cover 1 is opened, the cover 1 can maintain a specific locking angle relative to the body 2 when opening and closing. When the cover 1 and the body 2 are locked, the cover 1 will not close unexpectedly due to accidental touch or external vibration, thus improving the user experience.

[0048] In this embodiment, when a person wants to close the cover 1, they can first release the locking between the rotating member 31 and the locking component 32 by applying a force to the cover 1 or the rotating member 31 that can separate the rotating member 31 from the locking component 32, and then close the cover 1.

[0049] In one possible embodiment, the rotating member 31 may include a rotating locking end 311, and the locking assembly 32 may include a locking portion. The locking portion may be a locking structure corresponding to the rotating locking end 311, and may include locking grooves, locking holes, or other locking structures. The shape of the locking portion may correspond to the shape of the rotating locking end 311, thereby enabling the locking of the rotating member 31.

[0050] When the rotating member 31 rotates along a preset direction to a first preset angle, the rotating locking end 311 locks with the locking part. The locking part can accommodate the rotating locking end 311, and the locking part can include a structure that can block the rotation of the rotating locking end 311, thereby limiting the rotation of the rotating locking end 311.

[0051] In one possible embodiment, the rotating member 31 may include a rotating body 312, and the locking part is a locking groove. The shape of the locking groove may correspond to the shape of the rotating locking end 311, and the locking groove can precisely accommodate the rotating locking end 311. The rotating body 312 can be rotatably mounted on the machine body 2.

[0052] Optionally, the rotating locking end 311 is disposed on the rotating body 312. The rotating locking end 311 can be fixedly connected to the rotating body 312. The rotating locking end 311 can be integrally formed with the rotating body 312. When the rotating part 31 is locked with the locking assembly 32, the rotating locking end 311 can be locked in the locking groove, and the rotating body 312 can be located outside the locking groove, thereby realizing the locking of the rotating locking end 311 with the locking groove.

[0053] In one possible embodiment, the locking component 32 includes a first locking component 322 and a second locking component 323, wherein the first locking component 322 and the second locking component 323 can together form a locking groove. The locking structure in the first locking component 322 can rotate relative to the locking structure in the second locking component 323, thereby increasing or decreasing the spacing between the locking structures in the first locking component 322 and the locking structures in the second locking component 323 to adjust the size of the locking groove.

[0054] Specifically, as the rotating locking end 311 gradually rotates to lock with the locking groove, the distance between the locking structure in the first locking assembly 322 and the locking structure in the second locking assembly 323 can gradually increase to accommodate the rotating locking end 311. The distance between the locking structure in the first locking assembly 322 and the locking structure in the second locking assembly 323 can also first increase and then decrease to lock the rotating locking end 311, thereby achieving the locking of the rotating part 31 with the locking structure.

[0055] In one possible embodiment, the first locking assembly 322 may include a first locking member 324 and a first spring 325. One end of the first locking member 324 may be rotatably mounted on the body 2, and the other end of the first locking member 324 may be elastically connected to the first spring 325. The first locking member 324 may rotate relative to the body 2. During the rotation of the first locking member 324, the first spring 325 undergoes corresponding elastic deformation, including stretching or compression.

[0056] Optionally, the first locking member 324 can abut against the rotating locking end 311 under the action of the first spring 325, thereby restricting the rotation of the rotating member 31. When the first locking member 324 abuts against the rotating locking member, the first locking member 324 can provide a force to the rotating member 31 that hinders the rotation of the rotating member 31, thereby restricting the rotation of the rotating member 31. Under the restriction of the first locking member 324, the rotating member 31 requires a greater force to rotate towards the locking groove.

[0057] In one possible embodiment, when the rotating member 31 rotates along a preset direction to a second preset angle, the rotating locking end 311 contacts the first locking member 324, the first spring 325 is in a naturally relaxed state, and the second preset angle is smaller than the first preset angle. During the engagement process between the rotating member 31 and the locking assembly 32, the rotating member 31 can rotate through the second preset angle and then rotate to the first preset angle.

[0058] Optionally, when the rotating member 31 continues to rotate in a preset direction after rotating to the second preset angle, the first locking member 324 abuts against the rotating locking end 311, and the first spring 325 is in a compressed state. At this time, the first locking member 324 can provide a force to the rotating member 31 that resists the rotation of the rotating member 31. People can apply a greater force to make the rotating member 31 rotate toward the locking groove to lock the rotating locking end 311 into the locking groove.

[0059] Optionally, when the rotating member 31 continues to rotate in the preset direction to the first preset angle, the rotating member 31 rotates to the limit position in the preset direction, and the rotating locking end 311 can be locked with the locking groove, and the first spring 325 is in a compressed state or a naturally relaxed state. At this time, when people need to close the lid 1, the operator or the force application device inside or outside the kitchenware can apply sufficient force to disengage the rotating locking end 311 from the locking groove, thereby releasing the locking of the rotating locking end 311 with the locking groove.

[0060] In one possible embodiment, the second locking assembly 323 may include a second locking member 326 and a second spring 327. One end of the second locking member 326 may be rotatably mounted on the body 2, and the other end of the second locking member 326 may be elastically connected to the second spring 327. The second locking member 326 may rotate relative to the body 2. During the rotation of the second locking member 326, the second spring 327 undergoes corresponding elastic deformation, including stretching or compression.

[0061] Optionally, the second locking member 326 can abut against the rotating locking end 311 under the action of the second spring 327, thereby restricting the rotation of the rotating member 31. When the second locking member 326 abuts against the rotating locking member, the second locking member 326 can provide a force to the rotating member 31 that hinders the rotation of the rotating member 31, thereby restricting the rotation of the rotating member 31. Under the restriction of the second locking member 326, the rotating member 31 requires a greater force to rotate towards the locking groove.

[0062] In one possible embodiment, when the rotating member 31 rotates to the second preset angle along the preset direction, the rotating locking end 311 contacts the second locking member 326, the second spring 327 is in a naturally relaxed state, the second preset angle is smaller than the first preset angle, and during the engagement process between the rotating member 31 and the locking assembly 32, the rotating member 31 can rotate through the second preset angle and then rotate to the first preset angle.

[0063] Optionally, when the rotating member 31 continues to rotate in a preset direction after rotating to the second preset angle, the second locking member 326 abuts against the rotating locking end 311, and the second spring 327 is in a compressed state. At this time, the second locking member 326 can provide a force to the rotating member 31 that resists the rotation of the rotating member 31. People can apply a greater force to make the rotating member 31 rotate toward the locking groove to lock the rotating locking end 311 into the locking groove.

[0064] Optionally, when the rotating member 31 continues to rotate along the preset direction to the second preset angle, the rotating member 31 rotates to the limit position along the preset direction, and the rotating locking end 311 can be locked with the locking groove, and the second spring 327 is in a compressed state or a naturally relaxed state. At this time, when people need to close the lid 1, the operator or the force application device inside or outside the kitchenware can apply sufficient force to disengage the rotating locking end 311 from the locking groove, thereby releasing the locking of the rotating locking end 311 with the locking groove.

[0065] In one possible embodiment, the first locking assembly 322 may include a first locking member 324 and a first spring 325, and the second locking assembly 323 may include a second locking member 326 and a second spring 327. The first end of the first locking member 324 and the first end of the second locking member 326 may both be disposed on the connecting shaft 330 of the body 2. The first end of the first locking member 324 and the first end of the second locking member 326 may be rotatably connected to the connecting shaft 330 of the body 2. The first locking member 324 and the second locking member 326 may rotate relative to each other, thereby adjusting the size of the locking groove formed between the first locking member 324 and the second locking member 326.

[0066] Optionally, the second end of the first locking member 324 is provided with a first bending portion 328, which can extend to the end of the second end of the first locking member 324. The first spring 325 can be disposed between the first bending portion 328 and the body 2. When the first spring 325 is compressed, the first spring 325 can provide a force to the first locking member 324 through the first bending portion 328 to reduce the locking groove.

[0067] Optionally, the second end of the second locking member 326 is provided with a second bent portion 329, which can extend to the end of the second end of the second locking member 326. The second spring 327 can be disposed between the second bent portion 329 and the body 2. When the second spring 327 is compressed, the second spring 327 can provide a force to the second locking member 326 through the second bent portion 329 to reduce the locking groove.

[0068] In one possible embodiment, the locking assembly 32 includes a connecting shaft 330. Both the first locking assembly 322 and the second locking assembly 323 are rotatably mounted on the connecting shaft 330. Both the first locking assembly 322 and the second locking assembly 323 can rotate on the connecting shaft 330, thereby achieving relative rotation between the first locking assembly 322 and the second locking assembly 323. The connecting shaft 330 is mounted on the machine body 2. The connecting shaft 330 can be fixedly mounted on the machine body 2, or it can be rotatably mounted on the machine body 2. The rotation center line of the connecting shaft 330 is its axis.

[0069] It is important to note that, in Figure 2 and Figure 3 In the middle, because the specific structure of the connecting shaft 330 is covered by the first locking component 322 and the second locking component 323, Figure 2 and Figure 3 The connecting shaft markings only indicate the position of the connecting shaft 330. The connecting shaft 330 can be any type of shaft structure, including a cylindrical shaft, that enables the first locking component 322 and the second locking component 323 to rotate and engage, located at the connection between the first locking component 322 and the second locking component 323. Both ends of the connecting shaft 330 can be fixedly mounted on the body 2.

[0070] In one possible embodiment, a rotating support shaft 21 is provided on the body 2.
