Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of home appliances, specifically to a pot lid assembly and a container including such a pot lid assembly. Background Technology

[0002] Existing lid-opening mechanisms used in rice cookers or similar appliances, see [link / reference]. Figure 1 A typical display assembly includes the following main components: panel 1, display panel 2, front cover 3, and inner cover assembly 4. Their installation relationship is roughly as follows: a recessed display panel receiving cavity 5 (molded integrally) is formed in the front cover 3. The display panel 2 is placed inside this cavity 5, and then the panel 1 is fastened to the front cover with multiple screws (the panel 1 and front cover 2 are secured together by a densely arranged number of screws). The display content on the display panel 2 can be seen by the user through the panel 1.

[0003] However, such a lid-opening mechanism currently has the following two obvious drawbacks:

[0004] (1) In this context, the display panel is a circuit component that requires connection to electrical wiring. Since the display panel is fixedly placed inside the cover assembly, existing cover materials tend to be flame-retardant, usually injection-molded, to ensure the safety of the rice cooker. Injection-molded covers have a dull surface, poor texture and visual effect, which directly affects the appearance of the product. For some high-end, high-priced products, such injection-molded covers are undoubtedly not in line with consumers' expectations and needs.

[0005] (2) When the display panel malfunctions or needs maintenance or replacement, all the screws around the top of the panel need to be removed. The panel must be completely removed from the cover before the display panel can be exposed and removed. In this process, a large number of screws need to be removed, which is time-consuming, laborious, and very inconvenient. Utility Model Content

[0006] To overcome the shortcomings of the prior art, one objective of this utility model is to provide a pot lid assembly, and the other objective is to provide a container that can solve the problems of the lack of gloss in the injection-molded lid and the inconvenience of disassembling the display panel in the existing pot lid assemblies.

[0007] This utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:

[0008] A cooker lid assembly includes: a panel; a display panel; a display panel mounting box made of flame-retardant material; the display panel mounting box has an internal cavity suitable for accommodating the display panel, and the display panel is placed inside the cavity; the display panel mounting box is fixed to the bottom of the panel by a plurality of first screws; a cover; the panel is fixedly connected to the top of the cover by a plurality of second screws; the cover has a cavity for receiving the display panel mounting box, and the display panel mounting box is detachably embedded in the cavity for receiving the display panel mounting box, such that the bottom of the display panel mounting box is exposed above the bottom of the cover.

[0009] Furthermore, the bottom of the panel is provided with a plurality of first studs, and the display panel mounting box is provided with a box fastening hole for inserting a first screw; the first studs are housed in the box fastening hole, and the first screw passes through the box fastening hole and the first stud in sequence to fasten the display panel mounting box to the panel.

[0010] Furthermore, the bottom of the panel is provided with a plurality of second studs, and the cover is recessed with a plurality of second screw holes, the second studs being adapted to be embedded in the second screw holes; the second screws are simultaneously inserted into the second screw holes and the second studs to fasten the panel and the cover together.

[0011] Furthermore, the pot lid assembly also includes an inner lid assembly; the inner lid assembly is fixedly connected to the bottom of the top cover.

[0012] Furthermore, the display panel is also provided with a display panel fastening hole; the third screw is connected in the display panel fastening hole, and a third stud is provided at the bottom of the panel, and the third screw is fastened to the third stud to fix the display panel and the panel relative to each other.

[0013] Furthermore, the bottom of the panel is provided with a buckle structure, and the side of the display panel mounting box is provided with a latch structure that matches the buckle structure; the buckle structure is elastically fastened into the latch structure so that the panel and the display panel mounting box are fastened and fixed.

[0014] Furthermore, the lid assembly also includes: a mounting box sealing ring; a sealing ring mounting groove is formed on the top of the display panel mounting box, and the mounting box sealing ring is tightly embedded in the sealing ring mounting groove to seal the box cavity.

[0015] Furthermore, the top of the cover has a panel mounting groove for accommodating the panel, and the panel is embedded in the panel mounting groove so that the top surface of the panel is at the same horizontal level as the top of the cover.

[0016] A container including the aforementioned pot lid assembly.

[0017] Compared with existing technologies, the beneficial effects that this utility model can achieve are as follows:

[0018] (1) Compared to the previous method of integrally injection molding a display panel housing cavity onto the cover, this utility model uses an independent display panel mounting box, which is fixed to the bottom of the panel by a first screw. In this way, the display panel mounting box and the cover are separate from each other. The display panel mounting box is made of flame-retardant material to ensure its protective function, so the cover does not need to use flame-retardant materials such as injection molding. Instead, other materials with better gloss, texture, and visual effect can be used, making the container look more upscale and meeting the needs of high-end home appliances.

[0019] (2) Meanwhile, the display panel mounting box is embedded inside the cover, with its bottom exposed outside the cover. Compared to the cover, the display panel mounting box is smaller and can be secured with fewer screws. Specifically, the number of first screws connecting the display panel mounting box and the cover is significantly fewer than the number of second screws connecting the panel and the cover. Therefore, when disassembling or replacing the display panel, only the fewer first screws need to be removed to remove the display panel mounting box and take out the display panel; compared to the previous method of removing all the screws between the panel and the cover to expose the display panel, this invention makes replacing the display panel simpler, significantly saves time and manpower, and makes the maintenance of containers such as rice cookers easier.

Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model according to the specific circumstances.

[0033] This utility model discloses a pot lid assembly, which is applied to containers or appliances such as rice cookers.

[0034] See Figures 2-6This cookware lid assembly includes: a panel 10, a display panel 20, a display panel mounting box 30, and a cover 40. The display panel mounting box 30, used to house the display panel 20, is made of flame-retardant material, thus protecting the display panel 20 and its electrical wiring, which are electronic components. The display panel mounting box 30 has an internal cavity for housing the display panel 20. The display panel 20 is placed inside this cavity. The display panel mounting box 30 is fixed to the bottom of the panel 10 by several first screws 60. In this embodiment, there are four first screws 60 arranged in a rectangular shape. Figure 3 and Figure 5 Panel 10 is secured to the top of faceplate 40 by multiple second screws 70, the number of which is greater than the number of first screws 60, see... Figure 3 and Figure 5 See also Figure 4 and Figure 7 The cover 40 is also provided with a box receiving groove 41 suitable for embedding the display panel mounting box 30. The display panel mounting box 30 is detachably embedded in the box receiving groove 41, while the bottom of the display panel mounting box 30 is exposed outside the bottom of the cover 40.

[0035] (1) In the past, a display panel receiving cavity was integrally injection molded into the lid to house the display panel 20. To ensure the protective effect, the lid 40 needed to be made of flame-retardant materials such as injection molding, resulting in a poor appearance of the lid. This utility model uses an independent display panel mounting box 30, which is fixed to the bottom of the panel 10 by the first screw 60. In this way, the display panel mounting box 30 and the lid 40 are separate from each other. The display panel mounting box 30 is made of flame-retardant material to ensure the protective function, so the lid 40 does not need to be made of flame-retardant materials such as injection molding. As a result, the lid 40 can be made of other materials with better gloss, texture, and visual effect, making the appearance of the container look more upscale and meeting the needs of high-end home appliances.

[0036] (2) Meanwhile, the display panel mounting box 30 is embedded inside the cover 40, with its bottom exposed outside the cover 40. Compared to the cover 40, the display panel mounting box 30 is smaller and can be secured with fewer screws. Specifically, the number of first screws 60 used to connect the display panel mounting box 30 and the cover 40 is significantly fewer than the number of second screws 70 used to connect the panel 10 and the cover 40. Therefore, when disassembling or replacing the display panel 20, only the fewer first screws 60 need to be removed to remove the display panel mounting box 30 and take out the display panel 20; compared to the previous method of removing all the screws between the panel 10 and the cover 40 to expose the display panel 20, the operation of replacing the display panel 20 in this invention is simpler, significantly saves time and manpower, and makes the maintenance of containers such as rice cookers easier.

[0037] Preferably, see Figure 5 Several first studs 11 are provided at the bottom of the panel 10. The first studs 11 are internally threaded. The display panel mounting box 30 is provided with a box fastening hole 31 for the first screw 60 to pass through. When connecting the panel 10 and the cover 40, the first studs 11 are accommodated in the box fastening hole 31, thereby ensuring that the thickness of the lid assembly is relatively thin. The first screw 60 passes through the box fastening hole 31 and the first studs 11 in sequence, thereby fastening the display panel 20 mounting plate to the bottom of the panel 10.

[0038] Preferably, see Figure 5 The bottom of the panel 10 is provided with several second studs 12, and the cover 40 is correspondingly recessed with several second screw holes 42. The second studs 12 are adapted to be embedded in the second screw holes 42 to ensure that the thickness of the pot lid assembly is relatively thin. The second screws 70 are simultaneously inserted into the second screw holes 42 and the second studs 12, thereby fastening the panel 10 and the cover 40 together.

[0039] Preferably, see Figure 3 The pot lid assembly also includes an inner lid assembly 50, which is fixedly connected to the bottom of the top cover 40.

[0040] To ensure that the display panel 20 is fixed in its mounting position within the display panel mounting box 30 and does not wobble, preferably, see [reference needed]. Figure 3 The display panel 20 also has a display panel fastening hole 21; a third screw 80 is connected inside the display panel fastening hole 21, and a third stud 13 is correspondingly provided on the bottom of the panel 10. The third screw 80 is fastened to the third stud 13, thereby fixing the display panel 20 and the panel 10 relatively. When disassembling the display panel 20, first remove the first screw 60 to remove the display panel mounting box 30; then remove the third screw 80 to remove the display panel 20 from the bottom of the panel 10.

[0041] Furthermore, to enhance the installation stability of the display panel mounting box 30 and prevent it from easily detaching from the panel 10, preferably, see [reference needed]. Figure 5 , Figure 6 A latching structure 14 is also provided at the bottom of the panel 10, see reference. Figure 8 The display panel mounting box 30 has a latching ear structure 32 on its side that matches the latching structure 14; the latching structure 14 is elastically engaged in the latching ear structure 32, thereby securing the panel 10 and the display panel mounting box 30 together. When disassembling the display panel mounting box 30, first remove the first screw 60, then gently pull out the display panel mounting box 30. Because the latching structure 14 has a certain degree of elasticity, the display panel mounting box 30 can be pulled out.

[0042] To ensure that external moisture is kept out of the display panel mounting box 30, thereby preventing the display panel 20 from getting damp or hot, preferably, see [reference needed]. Figure 3 The lid assembly also includes a mounting box sealing ring 90. A sealing ring mounting groove is provided on the top of the display panel mounting box 30. The mounting box sealing ring 90 is tightly embedded in the sealing ring mounting groove, thereby keeping the box cavity in a sealed state.

[0043] To further reduce the thickness of the lid assembly, preferably, it is combined with... Figure 7 and Figure 2 The top of the cover 40 is provided with a panel mounting groove 43 for accommodating the panel 10. The panel 10 is embedded in the panel mounting groove 43, so that the top surface of the panel 10 and the top of the cover 40 are at the same level.

[0044] This utility model also discloses a container, which can be a rice cooker, or other containers or appliances that require a lid assembly. Any container that uses the same or substantially the same lid assembly should be protected within the scope of this utility model.

[0045] The above embodiments are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of this utility model. Any non-substantial changes and substitutions made by those skilled in the art based on this utility model shall fall within the scope of protection claimed by this utility model.
