Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of kitchen appliance technology, and in particular to cooking utensils. [Background Technology]

[0002] Existing knobs are widely used in cooking appliances for selecting cooking programs and cooking times due to their ease of operation, multiple selectable functions, and small footprint. The knob is rotatably connected to the appliance's housing. Taking an induction cooker as an example, its housing has mounting holes connecting the inner and outer sides. The knob includes a knob cap and a knob body. The knob body is located inside the housing and has a rotating shaft passing through the mounting hole. The knob cap can rotate relative to the housing and is connected to the rotating shaft for synchronous rotation. During cooking, liquids such as soup and water often splash out of the pan and flow along the housing surface towards the mounting hole, eventually entering the housing and causing the knob to malfunction. To prevent water from entering the mounting hole, existing housings have raised water-retaining ribs around the outside of the mounting hole to allow water to flow away from the outside of the ribs. However, tests have shown that when the water flow is large, water can still overflow the water-retaining ribs and enter the mounting hole, causing the knob body to fail. [Utility Model Content]

[0003] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide a cooking utensil. By setting a diversion ridge to divert the flow to the first water-blocking rib, water can be prevented from overflowing the first water-blocking rib and entering the mounting hole, thereby improving the waterproof effect.

[0004] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0005] A cooking appliance includes a housing, a knob body located inside the housing, and a knob cap located outside the housing. The housing has a mounting hole, the knob body has a pivot penetrating the mounting hole, and the knob cap is connected to the pivot. The housing includes a sidewall with the mounting hole. A first water-blocking rib is protruding around the mounting hole on the outer surface of the sidewall. The outer circumference of the first water-blocking rib has a diversion ridge protruding towards the top of the housing. The diversion ridge includes two diversion surfaces connected to both sides of the first water-blocking rib, and the distance between the two diversion surfaces gradually decreases towards the top of the housing so that the diversion ridge diverts water to both sides of the first water-blocking rib.

[0006] In the above-mentioned cooking appliance, the outer peripheral surface of the first water-blocking rib includes two inclined surfaces connected at an angle, the diversion ridge is provided at the connection of the two inclined surfaces, and the two diversion surfaces are smoothly connected to the two inclined surfaces respectively.

[0007] In the above-mentioned cooking appliance, the first water-blocking rib includes a curved section and two inclined sections. One end of the two inclined sections is connected at an angle, and the other end is connected through the curved section. The outer surface of the inclined section forms the inclined surface.

[0008] In the aforementioned cooking appliance, the outer peripheral surface of the first water-blocking rib is a cylindrical surface.

[0009] In the above-mentioned cooking appliance, the outer surface of the side wall is provided with a water sink, which surrounds the outside of the first water-blocking rib.

[0010] In the aforementioned cooking appliance, the projected area of ​​the sink on the side wall is located within the projected area of ​​the knob cap on the side wall.

[0011] In the aforementioned cooking appliance, the mounting hole is located at the bottom of the submerged tank, and the first water-blocking rib is arranged around the mounting hole at the bottom of the submerged tank.

[0012] In the above-mentioned cooking appliance, the sidewall includes a front sidewall with the mounting hole, the front sidewall is inclined, and the angle between the front sidewall and the horizontal plane is less than 60°.

[0013] In the above-mentioned cooking appliance, the end of the first water-blocking rib is also provided with a convex rib, the convex rib protruding from the outer surface of the end of the first water-blocking rib, and at least part of the convex rib is provided corresponding to the diversion ridge.

[0014] In the aforementioned cooking appliance, the knob cap is provided with a second water-blocking rib sleeved outside the first water-blocking rib, and at least part of the diversion ridge is exposed between the end of the second water-blocking rib and the root of the first water-blocking rib.

[0015] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0016] 1. When the cooking appliance of this utility model is in use, the soup and water splashed out of the pot will fall on the top wall and side wall of the shell. Some of the water will flow along the side wall of the shell towards the top of the first water-blocking rib under the action of gravity. When flowing towards the top of the first water-blocking rib, the water will first hit the diversion ridge. Since the distance between the two diversion surfaces gradually decreases towards the top of the shell, the water will first hit the narrowest point of the diversion ridge (i.e., the ridge top). The narrowest point of the diversion ridge will cut the water flow, so that the water is forced to disperse to the two diversion surfaces. Then, guided by the two diversion surfaces, the water flows to both sides of the first water-blocking rib. In addition, the design of the distance between the two diversion surfaces gradually decreasing towards the top of the shell will not only force the water flow to flow to the two diversion surfaces, but also increase the water flow speed to reduce the water flow stagnation on the ridge top, thereby preventing too much water from stagnating at the ridge top and overflowing the first water-blocking rib into the mounting hole, thus improving the waterproof effect.

[0017] 2. The outer periphery of the first water-blocking rib includes two inclined surfaces connected at an angle. The diversion ridge protrudes at the connection of the two inclined surfaces, and the two diversion surfaces are smoothly connected to the two inclined surfaces respectively. This design increases the gravitational component of the water flow by designing inclined surfaces, and shortens the flow path of the water flow compared to an arc surface at the same height, so that the water flow can flow rapidly downward under the guidance of the inclined surfaces. In addition, the smooth connection between the two diversion surfaces and the two inclined surfaces reduces the chance of water adhering due to turbulent backflow. Therefore, this technical solution can further accelerate the downward flow of water along both sides of the first water-blocking rib, thereby further reducing the water flow retention on the ridge top and preventing excessive water retention at the ridge top from overflowing the first water-blocking rib and entering the mounting hole.

[0018] 3. The first water-blocking rib includes a curved section and two inclined sections. One end of the two inclined sections is connected at an angle, and the other end is connected through the curved section. The outer surface of the inclined sections forms the inclined surface. This design facilitates the injection molding of the first water-blocking rib and also reduces appearance defects.

[0019] 4. The outer circumferential surface of the first water-blocking rib is cylindrical. With this design, only a cavity for forming the flow-diverting ridge needs to be added to the existing injection mold for processing the first water-blocking rib. The structural modification of the injection mold is minimal, reducing the modification cost.

[0020] 5. A water-retaining trough is provided on the outer surface of the side wall, and the water-retaining trough surrounds the outside of the first water-retaining rib. This design can interrupt the continuity of the water film by the indentation of the water-retaining trough, so that the water flow will sink due to gravity, further preventing the water flow from overflowing the first water-retaining rib; in addition, the water-retaining trough can also collect and temporarily store liquid, preventing it from spreading secondary along the side wall.

[0021] 6. The projected area of ​​the sink on the side wall is within the projected area of ​​the knob cap on the side wall. This design allows the sink to be completely covered by the knob cap, so the sink structure is not visible from the user's perspective, maintaining a unified product appearance. In addition, the knob cap's coverage can prevent food residue, dust, etc. from falling into the sink, reducing cleaning difficulty.

[0022] 7. The mounting hole is located at the bottom of the submerged tank, and the first water-retaining rib is arranged around the mounting hole at the bottom of the submerged tank. With this design, when the water flows along the side wall of the shell towards the first water-retaining rib, it first enters the submerged tank, and then is diverted to both sides of the first water-retaining rib by the diversion ridge. Thus, by placing the first water-retaining rib at the bottom of the submerged tank, the concavity of the submerged tank can break the continuity of the water film, causing the water to sink due to gravity. It also increases the height of the first water-retaining rib protruding from its surface, thereby increasing the difficulty for the water to overflow the first water-retaining rib and improving the waterproof effect.

[0023] 8. The sidewall includes a front sidewall with the mounting hole provided. The front sidewall is inclined, and the angle between the front sidewall and the horizontal plane is less than 60°. Providing the mounting hole on the front sidewall facilitates user operation. Since water flows downwards along the sidewall surface under gravity, limiting the inclination angle of the front sidewall reduces the gravitational force on the water flow, thereby reducing the flow velocity when the water impacts the diversion ridge, and further reducing the splash height after impact, preventing water from flowing into the mounting hole after being splashed.

[0024] 9. The end of the first water-blocking rib is also provided with a protruding rib, which protrudes from the outer surface of the end of the first water-blocking rib, and at least part of the protruding rib is provided corresponding to the diversion ridge. With this design, when the water flows along the top of the diversion ridge to the end of the first water-blocking rib, the protruding rib can further block the water flow, thereby further increasing the difficulty for the water to overturn the first water-blocking rib.

[0025] 10. The knob cap is provided with a second water-blocking rib sleeved outside the first water-blocking rib, with at least a portion of the diversion ridge exposed between the end of the second water-blocking rib and the root of the first water-blocking rib. With this design, when the water flows along the top of the diversion rib towards the end of the first water-blocking rib (i.e. towards the second water-blocking rib), the second water-blocking rib can further block the water flow to prevent the water flow from overturning the first water-blocking rib and entering the mounting hole.

[0026] These features and advantages of the present invention will be disclosed in detail in the following specific embodiments and accompanying drawings. [Attached Image Description]

[0040] This utility model provides a cooking appliance, including a housing, a knob body disposed inside the housing, and a knob cap disposed outside the housing. The housing has a mounting hole, the knob body has a pivot penetrating the mounting hole, and the knob cap is connected to the pivot. The housing includes a side wall with the mounting hole, and a first water-blocking rib protruding around the mounting hole is provided on the outer surface of the side wall. The outer circumference of the first water-blocking rib is provided with a diversion ridge protruding towards the top of the housing. The diversion ridge includes two diversion surfaces respectively connected to both sides of the first water-blocking rib. The distance between the two diversion surfaces gradually decreases towards the top of the housing, so that the diversion ridge diverts water to both sides of the first water-blocking rib.

[0041] When the cooking appliance of this invention is in use, the soup and water that splashes out of the pot will land on the top and side walls of the shell. Some of the water will flow along the side walls of the shell towards the top of the first water-blocking rib under the action of gravity. When flowing towards the top of the first water-blocking rib, the water will first hit the diversion ridge. Since the distance between the two diversion surfaces gradually decreases towards the top of the shell, the water will first hit the narrowest point of the diversion ridge (i.e., the ridge top). The narrowest point of the diversion ridge will cut the water flow, so that the water is forced to disperse into the two diversion surfaces. Then, guided by the two diversion surfaces, the water flows to both sides of the first water-blocking rib. In addition, the design of the distance between the two diversion surfaces gradually decreasing towards the top of the shell will not only force the water flow to flow to the two diversion surfaces, but also increase the water flow speed to reduce the water flow stagnation on the ridge top. This will prevent too much water from stagnating at the ridge top and overflowing the first water-blocking rib into the mounting hole, thereby improving the waterproof effect.

However, the following embodiments are only preferred embodiments of this utility model and not all of them.

They are not intended to indicate or imply that the device / component 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 utility model.

[0043] Example 1

[0044] like Figures 1 to 7 As shown, the cooking appliance in this embodiment is an induction cooker, which includes a housing 100, a knob body 200 disposed inside the housing 100, and a knob cap 300 disposed outside the housing 100. The housing 100 is provided with a mounting hole 101. The knob body 200 has a rotating shaft 210 passing through the mounting hole 101. The knob cap 300 and the rotating shaft 210 are connected by a non-circular fit to achieve synchronous rotation of the two. The housing 100 includes a side wall with a mounting hole 101. A first water-blocking rib 110 is protruding around the mounting hole 101 on the outer surface of the side wall. The outer peripheral surface of the first water-blocking rib 110 is provided with a diversion ridge 120 protruding towards the top of the housing. The diversion ridge 120 includes two diversion surfaces 121 respectively connected to the two sides of the first water-blocking rib 110. The distance between the two diversion surfaces 121 gradually decreases towards the top of the housing so that the diversion ridge 120 diverts water to the two sides of the first water-blocking rib 110.

[0045] When the cooking appliance in this embodiment is used, the soup and water that splashes out of the pot will land on the top and side walls of the shell. Some of the water will flow along the side wall of the shell 100 towards the top of the first baffle 110 under the action of gravity. When flowing towards the top of the first baffle 110, the water will first hit the diversion ridge 120. Since the distance between the two diversion surfaces 121 gradually decreases towards the top of the shell, the water will first hit the narrowest point (i.e., the top of the ridge) of the diversion ridge 120. The narrowest point of the diversion ridge 120 will... The water flow is cut to force the water to disperse to two distribution surfaces 121. Then, guided by the two distribution surfaces 121, the water flows to both sides of the first water-blocking rib 110. In addition, the design of the distance between the two distribution surfaces 121 gradually decreasing towards the top of the shell not only forces the water to flow to the two distribution surfaces 121, but also increases the water flow velocity to reduce the water flow stagnation on the ridge top. This prevents the water from stagnating too much at the ridge top and overflowing the first water-blocking rib 110 into the mounting hole 101, thereby improving the waterproof effect.

[0046] In this embodiment, the housing 100 includes an upper cover assembly 130 and a base 140. The upper cover assembly 130 includes an upper cover 131 and a panel assembly 132 mounted on the upper cover 131. The upper cover 131 includes an upper cover frame 1311 and a decorative panel 1312. The front side of the upper cover frame 1311 has a downwardly extending extension plate 13110. The decorative panel 1312 is mounted on the outer side of the extension plate 13110. The decorative panel 1312 and the extension plate 13110 are assembled to form a front sidewall. The base 140 has an upwardly extending left sidewall, right sidewall and rear sidewall. After the upper cover assembly 130 and the base 140 are assembled, the front sidewall, left sidewall, right sidewall and rear sidewall surround to form the sidewall of the housing. The housing 100 contains a display panel 400, a fan 500 and an electromagnetic coil assembly 600, etc. The mounting hole 101 is located on the front side wall, that is, the mounting hole 101 passes through the extension plate 13110 and the decorative plate 1312. At this time, the first water baffle 110 is located on the outer surface of the decorative plate 1312. This design can facilitate user operation and also enhance the appearance of the product. The knob body 200 is a rotary encoder or potentiometer mounted on the display panel 400, which generates corresponding electrical signals through the rotation of the rotating shaft 210.

[0047] It is understood that in other embodiments of the present invention, the housing includes an upper cover assembly, a middle ring and a base, the middle ring is installed between the upper cover assembly and the base, the middle ring forms the side wall of the housing, and the mounting hole is provided on the front side wall of the middle ring.

[0048] To achieve a better diversion effect, in this embodiment, the included angle α between the two diversion surfaces 121 is less than 150°, and the tops of the two diversion surfaces 121 are connected by a rounded corner transition, with the radius R of the rounded corner being less than 5mm.

[0049] like Figure 4As shown, in this embodiment, the outer peripheral surface of the first water-blocking rib 110 includes two inclined surfaces 1101 connected at an angle, that is, the distance between the two inclined surfaces 1101 gradually decreases towards the top of the shell. The diversion ridge 120 protrudes at the connection of the two inclined surfaces 1101. The two diversion surfaces 121 are smoothly connected to the two inclined surfaces 1101 respectively. Preferably, the diversion surfaces 121 and the inclined surfaces 1101 are coplanar. This design, by incorporating the inclined surface 1101, increases the gravitational component of the water flow and shortens the flow path compared to the curved surface at the same height, allowing the water to flow rapidly downwards under the guidance of the inclined surface 1101. Furthermore, the smooth connection between the two branching surfaces 121 and the two inclined surfaces 1101 reduces the chance of water adhering due to turbulent backflow, thus further accelerating the downward flow of water along both sides of the first water-blocking rib 110, thereby further reducing water stagnation at the ridge top and preventing excessive water stagnation at the ridge top from overflowing the first water-blocking rib 110 and entering the mounting hole 101.

[0050] Preferably, the first water-blocking rib 110 includes a curved section 112 and two inclined sections 111. One end of the two inclined sections 111 is connected at an angle, and the included angle of the two inclined sections 111 is the same as the included angle of the two flow-dividing surfaces 121. The other ends of the two inclined sections 111 are spaced apart and connected by the curved section 112. That is, the curved section 112 and the two inclined sections 111 are connected to form an annular first water-blocking rib 110, and the outer surface of the inclined sections 111 forms the inclined surface 1101. This design facilitates the injection molding of the first water-blocking rib 110 and also reduces appearance defects of the first water-blocking rib 110.

[0051] It is understood that in other embodiments of this utility model, the inner circumferential surface of the first water-blocking rib is a cylindrical surface, while the outer circumferential surface of the first water-blocking rib includes two inclined surfaces and a curved surface. One end of the two inclined surfaces is connected at an angle, and the other end of the two inclined surfaces is connected through the curved surface.

[0052] In addition, such as Figure 4 and Figure 7 As shown, in this embodiment, the outer surface of the sidewall is provided with a sinking trough 102, that is, the outer surface of the decorative panel 1312 is provided with a recessed sinking trough 102, which surrounds the outer side of the first water-blocking rib 110. With this design, the concavity of the sinking trough 102 can interrupt the continuity of the water film, causing the water to sink due to gravity, further preventing the water from overflowing the first water-blocking rib 110; in addition, the sinking trough 102 can also collect and temporarily store liquid, preventing it from diffusing secondary along the outer surface of the decorative panel 1312.

[0053] Preferably, the mounting hole 101 is located at the bottom of the submerged tank 102, and the first water-blocking rib 110 is arranged around the mounting hole 101 at the bottom of the submerged tank 102, with the outer circumferential surface of the first water-blocking rib 110 separated from the inner surface of the submerged tank 102. With this design, when water flows along the decorative panel 1312 to the first water-blocking rib 110, it first enters the submerged tank 102, and then is diverted to both sides of the first water-blocking rib 110 by the diversion ridge 120. Thus, by setting the first water-blocking rib 110 at the bottom of the submerged tank 102, the concavity of the submerged tank 102 can break the continuity of the water film, causing the water to sink due to gravity, and the height of the first water-blocking rib 110 protruding from its surface (the bottom of the submerged tank) can be increased, thereby increasing the difficulty for the water to overflow the first water-blocking rib 110 and improving the waterproof effect.

[0054] In order to facilitate the outflow of water in the sink 102, the sink 102 in this embodiment is a conical groove that gradually narrows towards the concave direction. This design allows the side wall of the sink 102 to guide the water out of the sink, and the conical groove design also facilitates subsequent cleaning.

[0055] Secondly, in this embodiment, the projected area of ​​the submersible 102 on the side wall (decorative panel 1312) is located within the projected area of ​​the knob cap 300 on the side wall (decorative panel 1312). This design allows the submersible 102 to be completely covered by the knob cap 300, so the trough structure is not visible from the user's perspective, maintaining the integrated appearance of the product. In addition, the cover of the knob cap 300 can prevent food residue, dust, etc. from falling into the submersible, reducing the difficulty of cleaning.

[0056] In this embodiment, the front sidewall is inclined, meaning that the decorative panel 1312 and the extension plate 13110 extend downwards and in a direction away from the rear sidewall, with the angle β between the front sidewall and the horizontal plane being less than 60°. Since the water flows downwards along the surface of the front sidewall under the action of gravity, this design can reduce the gravitational component force on the water flow, thereby reducing the flow velocity when the water flows into the diversion ridge 120, and thus reducing the splash height after the impact, to prevent water from flowing into the mounting hole 101 after being splashed.

[0057] Example 2

[0058] like Figure 8 As shown, compared with Embodiment 1, the difference in this embodiment is that the outer peripheral surface of the first water-blocking rib 110 is a cylindrical surface, and the diversion ridge 120 is a ridge-shaped structure protruding from the outer peripheral surface of the first water-blocking rib 110. With this design, only a cavity for forming the diversion ridge needs to be added to the existing injection mold for processing the first water-blocking rib 110, which requires minimal structural modification to the injection mold and reduces the modification cost.

[0059] Example 3

[0060] like Figure 9As shown, based on Embodiments 1 and 2, the end of the first water-blocking rib 110 in this embodiment is further provided with a protruding rib 113. The protruding rib 113 protrudes from the outer surface of the end of the first water-blocking rib 110, and at least part of the protruding rib 113 is provided corresponding to the diversion ridge 120. That is, the protruding rib 113 can be an annular rib provided around the first water-blocking rib 110, or the protruding rib 113 can be an arc-shaped rib provided in the upper half circle of the end of the first water-blocking rib 110. The height of the protruding rib 113 protruding from the first water-blocking rib 110 is greater than the height of the diversion ridge 120 protruding from the first water-blocking rib 110. With this design, when the water flows along the top of the diversion ridge 120 to the end of the first water-blocking rib 110, the protruding rib 113 can further block the water flow, thereby further increasing the difficulty for the water to overflow the first water-blocking rib 110.

[0061] Example 4

[0062] like Figure 10 As shown, compared with Embodiment 3, the difference in this embodiment is that the knob cap 300 is provided with a second water-blocking rib 310 sleeved outside the first water-blocking rib 110. The second water-blocking rib 310 and the first water-blocking rib 110 are in clearance fit. There is a gap between the knob cap 300 and the outer surface of the decorative panel 1312. There is a gap between the end of the second water-blocking rib 310 and the bottom of the sink trough 102. At least part of the diversion ridge 120 is exposed between the end of the second water-blocking rib 310 and the root of the first water-blocking rib 110. With this design, when the water flows along the top of the diversion ridge 120 towards the end of the first water-blocking rib 110 (i.e. towards the second water-blocking rib 310), the second water-blocking rib 310 can further block the water flow to prevent the water flow from overturning the first water-blocking rib 110 and entering the mounting hole 101.

[0063] It should be noted that in other embodiments, the cooking appliance may also be an electric ceramic stove, an electric steamer, an electric kettle, an electric hot pot, etc.

Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model includes, but is not limited to, the content described in the accompanying drawings and the specific embodiments above. Any modifications that do not depart from the functional and structural principles of this utility model will be included within the scope of the claims.
