[0025] To make the technical solution of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0026] Example

[0027] like Figure 1 As shown, multiple support legs 10 are fixedly connected to the lower surface of the rice cooker body 1;

[0028] When the rice cooker body 1 is placed on a flat surface such as a table or stove, the multiple support legs 10 increase the distance between the rice cooker body 1 and the surface, creating a gap that facilitates air circulation. This helps dissipate heat from the bottom of the rice cooker body 1, preventing the bottom from overheating due to prolonged operation and affecting the lifespan of electrical components. At the same time, the evenly distributed support legs 10 can distribute the overall weight of the rice cooker, enhancing its stability when placed and preventing it from tipping over due to accidental collisions or slight shaking during use. This reduces the risk of food spilling out of the inner pot 2 or damage to the rice cooker.

[0029] like Figures 1-7 As shown, a lid structure for a rice cooker is provided, including a rice cooker body 1, an inner pot 2 inside the rice cooker body 1, a rotating groove 3 on the rear surface of the rice cooker body 1, a sealing cover 4 on the upper surface of the rice cooker body 1, a connecting block 5 fixedly connected to the rear of the lower surface of the sealing cover 4, the lower surface of the connecting block 5 extending below the rotating groove 3, rotating columns 6 fixedly connected to the left and right sides of the connecting block 5, the opposite ends of the two rotating columns 6 being rotatably connected to the left and right sides of the two rotating grooves 3 respectively; a placement groove 7 is provided on the upper surface of the sealing cover 4, an embedded groove 8 is integrally formed on the lower surface of the placement groove 7, and a rice spoon 9 is disposed inside the embedded groove 8.

[0030] When the rice cooker needs to be used, the user can rotate the sealing lid 4, causing the rotating columns 6 on both sides to rotate within the rotating groove 3, thereby opening and closing the sealing lid 4. When open, the inner pot 2 can be removed for filling rice, adding water, etc. When closed, the sealing lid 4 can tightly cover the rice cooker body 1, ensuring airtightness during cooking and reducing heat loss. After cooking, when the user needs to serve rice, the rice scoop 9 can be taken out from the embedded groove 8 in the placement groove 7 on the upper surface of the sealing lid 4. After use, the rice scoop 9 can be placed back into the embedded groove 8. The sealing lid 4 can be flexibly opened and closed through the rotational connection between the rotating columns 6 and the rotating groove 3. The operation is effortless and stable, avoiding the risk of burns from manually opening the lid in traditional structures. The placement groove 7 and the embedded groove 8 are specifically designed to store the rice scoop 9, ensuring that the rice scoop 9 can be placed stably and is not easy to slip off, without taking up extra kitchen space, thus improving the user experience of the rice cooker.

[0031] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 6 As shown, a pressing cavity 11 is provided on the front surface of the sealing cover 4. A plug block 13 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the pressing cavity 11. A docking groove 14 is provided on the upper surface of the rice cooker body 1. A slot 15 is provided on the front surface of the docking groove 14. The lower surface of the plug block 13 extends into the interior of the docking groove 14. A sliding plate 16 is slidably connected to the interior of the plug block 13. A through-type protrusion 17 is provided below the front surface of the interior of the plug block 13. An inclined plate 18 is fixedly connected to the front surface of the sliding plate 16. The front surface of the inclined plate 18 passes through the protrusion 17 and extends into the interior of the slot 15. A plurality of springs 19 are fixedly connected to the rear surface of the sliding plate 16 and the rear surface of the interior of the plug block 13.

[0032] A pressing block 12 is slidably connected inside the pressing chamber 11. The rear end of the pressing block 12 and the front surface of the sliding plate 16 are fixedly connected to a connecting rod 20. A torsion spring 21 is sleeved on the outer side of each of the two rotating columns 6. The two ends of the two torsion springs 21 are fixedly connected to the opposite side inside the rotating groove 3 and the opposite side of the connecting block 5, respectively.

[0033] When the sealing cover 4 needs to be opened, the user presses the set pressing block 12. The pressing block 12 drives the sliding plate 16 to slide backward inside the insertion block 13 through the connecting rod 20. The sliding plate 16 compresses the spring 19, and at the same time drives the inclined plate 18 to retract from the protrusion 17, so that its front end disengages from the slot 15 in the docking groove 14, thereby releasing the fixation of the sealing cover 4. At this time, the torsion spring 21 sleeved on the outside of the rotating column 6 generates a restoring elastic force due to the previous deformation, which drives the connecting block 5 and the sealing cover 4 to rotate upward around the rotating column 6, realizing the automatic opening of the sealing cover 4, which makes it convenient for the user to take out and put in the inner pot 2. When the sealing cover 4 needs to be closed, the user only needs to press the sealing cover 4 downward. The connecting block 5 drives the rotating column 6 to rotate and causes the torsion spring 21 to deform. At the same time, the insertion block 13 inserts into the docking groove 14, and the inclined plate The inclined surface of plate 18 contacts and is pressed against the edge of the docking groove 14, pushing the sliding plate 16 to slide backward and compressing the spring 19. When the inclined plate 18 is fully inserted into the docking groove 14, the spring 19 returns to its original position and pushes the sliding plate 16 to slide forward, so that the inclined plate 18 passes through the protrusion 17 and is inserted into the slot 15, thus completing the automatic fixing of the sealing cover 4. The fixing can be easily released by pressing the set pressing block 12. With the help of the torsion spring 21, the sealing cover 4 can be automatically opened without manual effort. The operation is convenient and labor-saving, especially avoiding the risk of being burned by high temperature steam when manually opening the lid after cooking. Pressing down can automatically complete the fixing without additional operation of the locking buckle. The fixing process is fast and stable, ensuring the sealing performance of the sealing cover 4 after it is closed, and improving the overall safety and ease of use of the rice cooker.

[0034] like Figure 1 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, a steam vent 22 is provided at the rear of the upper surface of the sealing cover 4, and multiple adjustment buttons 23 are provided on the front surface of the rice cooker body 1.

[0035] When the rice cooker is cooking, the steam vent 22 can accurately and promptly release excess steam generated by heating in the inner pot 2, stably releasing excess steam and maintaining the pressure inside the pot within a reasonable range. This ensures the safety and stability of the cooking process, guaranteeing that the food is cooked thoroughly according to the preset program and has a good taste. At the same time, the multiple adjustment buttons 23 allow users to easily select the desired function by simply pressing the corresponding adjustment button 23 according to their cooking needs, without the need for complicated setup steps. The intuitive layout and clear labeling of the adjustment buttons 23 make it easy for users of different ages to operate, lowering the barrier to entry. This allows the rice cooker body 1 to perform targeted cooking according to the characteristics of different foods, thereby meeting diverse dietary needs, improving cooking results, and enhancing the user experience.

[0036] like Figure 1 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 7As shown, the inner left and inner right sides of the placement groove 7 are symmetrically provided with sliding grooves 24. The inner upper and inner lower surfaces of the multiple sliding grooves 24 are all fixedly connected to guide rods 25. The outer side walls of the multiple guide rods 25 are slidably connected to sliders 26. The side of the multiple sliders 26 near the rice spoon 9 is fixedly connected to a movable block 27. The side of the multiple movable blocks 27 away from the multiple sliding grooves 24 is fixedly connected to a pressure plate 28. The lower surface of the multiple pressure plates 28 is in contact with the upper surface of the rice spoon 9. The outer side walls of the multiple guide rods 25 are fitted with springs 29. The two ends of the springs 29 are fixedly connected to the inner upper surface of the sliding groove 24 and the upper surface of the slider 26, respectively.

[0037] Lifting plates 30 are fixedly connected to the outer sides of the two movable blocks 27 located on one side. A through-type inclined groove 31 is opened on the opposite side of the two lifting plates 30. A pushing inclined block 32 is set inside the two inclined grooves 31. A sliding groove 33 is opened on the upper surface of the rice cooker body 1 and on both sides of the placement groove 7. A guide rod 34 is fixedly connected to the left and right sides of the two sliding grooves 33. A slider 35 is slidably connected to the outer wall of the two guide rods 34. The upper surface of the two sliders 35 is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the two pushing inclined blocks 32 respectively. A spring 36 is sleeved on the outer wall of the two guide rods 34. The two ends of the two springs 36 are fixedly connected to the opposite side of the two sliding grooves 33 and the opposite side of the two sliders 35 respectively.

[0038] When the rice spoon 9 needs to be removed, the user simultaneously presses the two pushing inclined blocks 32. The pushing inclined blocks 32 drive the slider 2 35 to slide in opposite directions along the guide rod 2 34 within the slide groove 2 33, compressing the spring 36. During the movement, the pushing inclined blocks 32 contact the inclined groove 31 and generate an upward thrust, causing the lifting plate 30 to move upward. The lifting plate 30 drives the movable block 27 and the slider 1 26 to slide upward within the slide groove 1 24 along the guide rod 1 25, compressing the spring 29. The movable block 27 drives the pressure plate 28 to rise synchronously, causing the lower surface of the pressure plate 28 to separate from the upper surface of the rice spoon 9. At this time, the rice spoon 9 can be easily removed. When the rice spoon 9 is not in use, after placing it into the embedded groove 8, the pushing inclined blocks 32 are released, and the spring 36 returns to its original position, pushing the slider 2 35 and the pushing inclined blocks 32. Moving in opposite directions pushes the inclined block 32 out of contact with the inclined groove 31. At the same time, the second spring 29 resets and pushes the first slider 26, the movable block 27 and the pressure plate 28 downward, so that the lower surface of the pressure plate 28 is in close contact with the upper surface of the rice spoon 9 again, fixing the rice spoon 9. Multiple pressure plates 28 can be raised synchronously by pressing the two inclined blocks 32 at the same time. The operation is simple and convenient, and it is easy to quickly remove the rice spoon 9 without having to forcefully pry open the fixing structure. When not in use, the multiple pressure plates 28 are tightly pressed against the rice spoon 9 under the action of the second spring 29, which can effectively prevent the rice spoon 9 from falling due to shaking when the sealing cover 4 is opened, ensuring the stability of the rice spoon 9 in storage, and avoiding pollution or damage caused by the rice spoon 9 falling, thus improving the reliability and convenience of using the rice cooker.

[0039] The embodiments described above are merely illustrative of several implementations of this utility model, and while the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of this utility model patent. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this utility model, and these all fall within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model patent should be determined by the appended claims.
