[0028] The technical solutions in the embodiments of this utility model will now be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0029] Reference Figures 1 to 6 A micro-pressure cooker lid includes a lid body 1, a vent 11 on the lid body 1, and a pressure limiting valve 2 inside the vent 11. The pressure limiting valve 2 includes a vent pipe 21 inside the vent 11, a pressure limiting valve cover 22 covering the vent pipe 21, a sealing rubber head 23 inside the pressure limiting valve cover 22 that can block the vent outlet of the vent pipe 21, and a locking assembly 24 at the lower end of the vent pipe 21 that can fix the vent pipe 21 inside the vent 11. A guide structure 3 is provided between the pressure limiting valve cover 22 and the lid body 1, allowing the pressure limiting valve cover 22 to move up and down after rotation. The top of the pressure limiting valve cover 22 has a vent hole 221. During heating, the pressure inside the pot will gradually accumulate. When the pressure reaches or exceeds the set value of the pressure limiting valve 2, the sealing rubber head 23 will be pushed up by the pressure, releasing the pressure beyond the set value, thereby achieving a micro-pressure effect and ensuring uniform pressure inside the pot, guaranteeing that the cooking process will be at the set pressure value. This achieves the cooking effect of a low-pressure rice cooker, resulting in more even cooking and significantly improved taste, satisfying consumers' cooking demands. Simultaneously, the guide structure 3 rotates the pressure-limiting valve cover 22, causing it to move the sealing head 23 up and down, thereby releasing the pressure inside the pot body 4 and facilitating the user's opening of the lid during cooking.

[0030] In this design, the guide structure 3 includes a connecting part 31 disposed on the cover 1 and capable of cooperating with the pressure relief valve cover 22, several guide protrusions 32 disposed on the bottom surface of the connecting part 31, and several abutting protrusions 33 disposed on the bottom of the pressure relief valve cover 22 and capable of abutting against the guide protrusions 32. The exhaust port 11 is disposed on the bottom surface of the connecting part 31. Specifically, the contact surfaces of the guide protrusions 32 and the abutting protrusions 33 are both arc-shaped. Thus, by rotating the pressure relief valve cover 22, the guide protrusions 32 and the abutting protrusions 33 will slowly approach each other until they abut against each other. At this time, the pressure relief valve cover 22 will slowly rise, and the sealing head 23 will gradually move away from the exhaust port of the exhaust pipe 21, no longer blocking it. When the pressure relief valve cover 22 is rotated back, the guide protrusions 32 and the abutting protrusions 33 will slowly move away from each other until they are completely separated. At this time, the pressure relief valve cover 22 will slowly descend, and the sealing head 23 will gradually approach the exhaust port of the exhaust pipe 21, and then block it.

[0031] In this design, the inner wall of the connecting part 31 is provided with a limiting groove 311, and the outer wall of the pressure relief valve cover 22 is provided with a limiting protrusion 222 that can move within the limiting groove 311. The limiting groove 311 is arc-shaped with a corresponding arc of 45 degrees. Thus, when the limiting protrusion 222 moves to both ends of the limiting groove 311, it corresponds to the highest and lowest points of the displacement of the sealing head 23.

[0032] In this solution, the outer wall of the pressure limiting valve cover 22 is provided with a screwing handle 223 for screwing the pressure limiting valve cover 22. By screwing the handle 223 to rotate the pressure limiting valve cover 22, the steam discharged from the vent hole 221 can be prevented from scalding the hands.

[0033] In this design, the pressure relief valve cover 22 is equipped with a counterweight 25 to increase its weight, thereby changing the weight of the pressure relief valve cover 22 and thus altering the set value of the pressure relief valve 2. The counterweight 25 is hollow, and a sealing head 23 is disposed within it, with the sealing head 23 connected to the pressure relief valve cover 22 via a connector.

[0034] In this design, the counterweight 25 is equipped with an exhaust pipe retainer 26 that engages with the outside of the exhaust pipe 21. The counterweight 25 includes a cylinder 251 and a bottom cover 252 covering the bottom of the cylinder 251. A groove 2511 is provided on the bottom of the inner wall of the cylinder 251, so that the bottom cover 252, when placed on the cylinder 251, forms a groove 2511 for fixing the exhaust pipe retainer 26. The counterweight 25 can be fixed inside the pressure relief valve cover 22 by snap-fit ​​or adhesive. This exhaust pipe retainer 26 restricts the position between the pressure relief valve cover 22 and the exhaust pipe 21, preventing the pressure relief valve cover 22 from popping out of the connecting part 31 during use, thus limiting the position of the pressure relief valve cover 22 at its highest point within the connecting part 31. Furthermore, it allows for positioning and fixing of the exhaust pipe 21 during assembly.

[0035] In this design, the locking assembly 24 includes a silicone sealing ring 241 fitted onto the exhaust pipe 21 and located below the cover 1, a washer 242 fitted onto the exhaust pipe 21 and covering the silicone sealing ring 241, and a nut 243 that presses the silicone sealing ring 241 and the washer 242 onto the cover 1, thereby fixing the exhaust pipe 21 inside the exhaust port 11. Furthermore, the nut 243 has several air inlet holes 2431 that communicate with the air inlet of the exhaust pipe 21, preventing the nut 243 from blocking the air inlet of the exhaust pipe 21 and also preventing foreign objects from entering and causing blockage. The lower end of the exhaust pipe 21 has an annular groove 211 that mates with the silicone sealing ring 241, allowing the silicone sealing ring 241 to fit within the annular groove 211 of the exhaust pipe 21, thus enhancing its sealing performance.

[0036] In this solution, a recessed area 312 is provided on the bottom surface of the connecting part 31, and a gasket is provided in the recessed area 312. A limiting protrusion 212 is provided on the outer side wall of the exhaust pipe 21 to press the gasket into the recessed area 312. In this way, by cooperating with the locking assembly 24, the exhaust pipe 21 can be more securely fixed in the exhaust port 11.

[0037] Reference Figures 7 to 11 This utility model also provides a micro-pressure rice cooker, including a pot body 4, a micro-pressure lid as described above, and handles 41 on both the left and right sides of the upper end of the pot body 4. A first latching groove 42 is provided on the inner side of the upper edge of the pot body 4, located at the handle 41. A lid locking block 12, which can be inserted into the first latching groove 42, is provided on both the left and right sides of the lid body 1. A locking plate 43, which can move left and right to prevent the locking block 12 from disengaging from the first latching groove 42, is provided on the handle 41. In this way, the lid body 1 is locked to the pot body 4 by the locking plates 43 on both sides, which can prevent the lid body 1 from being opened due to accidental operation by the consumer during cooking, improving safety during cooking and extending the product's lifespan.

[0038] In this design, the bottom of the lid 1 is provided with a snap-fit ​​block 13, the inner side of which is an L-shaped insert. The upper end of the pot body 4 is provided with a second snap-fit ​​groove 44 that cooperates with the snap-fit ​​block 13. The inner side of the second snap-fit ​​groove 44 is provided with a silicone plug 5 for separating the second snap-fit ​​groove 44 from the interior of the pot body 4. This snap-fit ​​structure allows the lid 1 to be more securely locked onto the pot body 4, preventing them from falling off. Simultaneously, the silicone plug 5 prevents water vapor from dripping into the interior of the pot body 4 and damaging internal parts.

[0039] In this solution, the pot body 4 includes a body assembly, a pot inner liner, and a handle 41 assembly. The body assembly consists of a control panel assembly, an outer shell, an inner liner, a heat insulation cover, a sensor assembly, a heating assembly, and an input socket. The control panel assembly is mounted on the outer shell, the sensor is fitted on the heat insulation cover, the heat insulation cover is fitted on the inner liner, the heating plate is fitted on the inner liner and fastened to the heat insulation cover, and the inner liner is fitted inside the outer shell to form the heating body assembly.

[0040] Based on the above-described preferred embodiments of this utility model, and through the foregoing description, those skilled in the art can make various changes and modifications without departing from the technical concept of this utility model. The technical scope of this utility model is not limited to the contents of the specification, but must be determined according to the scope of the claims.
