Abstract
Description
[0001] This application claims priority to the invention patent application filed on December 29, 2023, with application number 202311873884.7, entitled "Cooking Utensils". Technical Field
[0002] This utility model relates to the field of small household appliance technology, and more specifically, to a rotating component and a cooking appliance having the same. Background Technology
[0003] In cooking appliances, rotating components (i.e., lever structures) are widely used in the opening and closing mechanisms of lids due to their simple and effective mechanical properties. Rotating components can be used to change the direction of force or to open and close the lid by applying a small force.
[0004] However, in related technologies, a driving component (such as a pushing component) is often incorporated to work with a rotating component. During the structural design process, to ensure the swing stroke of the rotating component and avoid interference between the pushing and rotating components, the stroke of the driving component often needs to be increased. This results in an increase in the overall size of the cooking appliance. The increased size of the cooking appliance can cause inconvenience for users in terms of use and storage. Utility Model Content
[0005] The main objective of this invention is to provide a rotating component and a cooking appliance having the same, in order to solve the problem that the increased stroke of the driving component in related technologies leads to an increase in the size of the cooking appliance.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, according to one aspect of the present invention, a rotating component is provided, comprising: a rotating base, a pivot connection portion disposed in the middle of the rotating base, a transmission connection portion and a drive engagement portion disposed at one end of the rotating base; and a clearance recess disposed on the rotating base and located between the pivot connection portion and the drive engagement portion.
[0007] According to the technical solution of this utility model, the rotating component includes a rotating base with a pivot connection portion in the middle. The rotating base is mounted on other structures via the pivot connection portion to achieve rotation of the rotating base relative to the other structures. One end of the rotating base is provided with a transmission connection portion that cooperates with a linkage component and a drive engagement portion that cooperates with a driving component. The driving component drives the rotating base to rotate via the drive engagement portion. When the rotating base rotates, it drives the linkage component to move via the transmission connection portion. In this application, the rotating base also has a clearance recess located between the pivot connection portion and the drive engagement portion. The clearance recess can accommodate the driving component, so that when the driving component is not driving the rotating base to rotate, part of the driving component can be accommodated within the clearance recess. Thus, when it is necessary to drive the rotating base to rotate, the driving component moves out of the clearance recess and can directly cooperate with the drive engagement portion, thereby driving the rotating base to rotate. In the above process, the driving component does not need to move to a position completely separated from the rotating component as in the prior art; instead, a portion of its structure can be accommodated within the clearance recess, thus effectively reducing the stroke of the driving component. Therefore, the technical solution of this application can solve the problem of increased size of cooking appliances caused by increased stroke of the driving component in related technologies.
[0008] Furthermore, the driving engagement part is a pushing slope that extends into the clearance recess. This pushing slope increases the engagement area with the driving component and provides a larger clearance space for the driving component, facilitating a further reduction in the stroke of the driving component.
[0009] Furthermore, the recessed area is designed as a through hole. These through holes are easier to machine and make it easier to ensure a stable fit.
[0010] Furthermore, the transmission connection part is a receiving groove. A connecting post is provided on the linkage component, and the connecting post is accommodated in the receiving groove to realize the linkage movement between the rotating component and the linkage component. The receiving groove is easy to assemble with the linkage component, and a certain gap can exist between the receiving groove and the connecting post, which can improve the smoothness of the movement of the rotating component and the linkage component.
[0011] Furthermore, one end of the rotating base includes a first plate and a second plate spaced apart, with the gap between the first plate and the second plate forming a receiving groove, and a driving mating part disposed on the surface of the first plate away from the second plate. This structure is easy to manufacture and implement.
[0012] Furthermore, the width of the first plate is smaller than the width of the second plate. The smaller width of the first plate, while ensuring proper fit between the first plate and the driving component, allows space on both sides of the first plate for other components, resulting in a more compact overall structure for the cooking appliance.
[0013] Furthermore, the pivoting connection is a shaft, and / or the rotating base is a rotating plate.
[0014] According to another aspect of this utility model, a cooking appliance is provided, comprising: a pot body; a lid assembly, which is closably disposed on the pot body, the rear part of the lid assembly being hinged to the pot body, and a locking platform being provided at the front part of the lid assembly, the lid assembly having an open state and a closed state; a locking mechanism, which is movably disposed on the lid assembly and has a locked state for locking the pot body and an unlocked state for unlocking the pot body; a latching mechanism, which is rotatably disposed on the pot body and can engage with the locking platform; a transmission mechanism, including a rotating member rotatably disposed on the lid assembly and a linkage member disposed between the rotating member and the locking mechanism, wherein the rotating member can drive the latching mechanism to rotate when rotating, the rotating member being the aforementioned rotating member; an unlocking member, which is movably disposed on the pot body; and a pushing structure, wherein the unlocking member is driven to engage with the rotating member through the pushing structure; wherein, when the lid assembly is switched from the closed state to the open state, the unlocking member causes the pushing structure to drive the rotating member to rotate, the rotating member drives the locking mechanism to switch from the locked state to the unlocked state and remain in the unlocked state, and the rotating member drives the latching mechanism to separate from the locking platform.
[0015] Because the rotating component can solve the problem of increased size of cooking appliances caused by increased stroke of the driving component in related technologies, cooking appliances with this rotating component can also solve the above-mentioned problems. In this application, the driving component that drives the rotating component to rotate is a push structure. The shortening of the stroke of the push structure along the vertical direction of the cooking appliance can correspondingly shorten the stroke of the unlocking component, thereby reducing the overall size of the cooking appliance.
[0016] Furthermore, when the cover assembly is in the closed state, part of the push-pull structure is located within the clearance recess. This structure effectively reduces the stroke of the push-pull structure.
[0017] Furthermore, a driving ramp is provided at the top of the jacking structure. The driving ramp can engage with the jacking ramp surface, thereby improving the stability of the engagement. Attached Figure Description

[0048] like Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the rotating component in this embodiment includes a rotating base 51 and a clearance recess 513. A pivot connection portion 514 is provided in the middle of the rotating base 51, and a transmission connection portion 511 and a drive engagement portion 512 are provided at one end of the rotating base 51. The clearance recess 513 is provided on the rotating base 51 and is located between the pivot connection portion 514 and the drive engagement portion 512.
[0049] Using the technical solution of this embodiment, the rotating component includes a rotating base 51. A pivot connection portion 514 is provided in the middle of the rotating base 51. The rotating base 51 is mounted on other structures through the pivot connection portion 514 to realize the rotation of the rotating base 51 relative to other structures. One end of the rotating base 51 is provided with a transmission connection portion 511 that cooperates with a linkage component and a drive engagement portion 512 that cooperates with a driving component. The driving component drives the rotating base 51 to rotate through the drive engagement portion 512. When the rotating base 51 rotates, it drives the linkage component to move through the transmission connection portion 511. In this application, the rotating base 51 is also provided with a clearance recess 513, which is located between the pivot connection portion 514 and the drive engagement portion 512. The clearance recess 513 can avoid the driving component, so that when the driving component does not drive the rotating base 51 to rotate, part of the driving component can be accommodated in the clearance recess 513. In this way, when it is necessary to drive the rotating base 51 to rotate, the driving member can directly engage with the driving mating part 512 during the process of moving out of the avoidance recess 513, thereby driving the rotating base 51 to rotate. In the above process, the driving member does not need to move to a position completely separated from the rotating member as in the prior art; instead, a portion of its structure can be accommodated within the avoidance recess 513, which effectively reduces the stroke of the driving member. Therefore, the technical solution of this embodiment can solve the problem in related technologies where the increased stroke of the driving member leads to an increase in the size of the cooking appliance.
[0050] like Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, in this embodiment, the driving engagement portion 512 is a pushing slope that extends into the clearance recess 513. This pushing slope increases the engagement area with the driving component and provides a larger clearance space for the driving component, facilitating a further reduction in the stroke of the driving component. Of course, the pushing slope of the driving engagement portion 512 is not limited to a planar structure; it can also be an arc-shaped surface.
[0051] like Figure 3d and Figure 4d As shown, when the driving component is not driving the rotating base 51 to rotate, part of the driving component can be accommodated in the clearance recess 513 and engage with the push-up inclined surface within the clearance recess 513. When it is necessary to drive the rotating base 51 to rotate, the driving component can directly engage with the push-up inclined surface during the process of moving out of the clearance recess 513, thereby driving the rotating base 51 to rotate. The stroke of the driving component is relatively short during the above engagement process.
[0052] In this embodiment, the clearance recess 513 is a through hole. The through hole is easy to machine and makes it easier to ensure mating stability. In an embodiment not shown in the figures, the clearance recess can be a groove, as long as it can accommodate part of the driving component.
[0053] like Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the transmission connection part 511 is a receiving groove. A connecting post is provided on the linkage member, and the connecting post is accommodated in the receiving groove to achieve the linkage movement between the rotating member and the linkage member. The receiving groove is easy to assemble with the linkage member, and a certain gap can exist between the receiving groove and the connecting post, which can improve the smoothness of the movement of the rotating member and the linkage member. Of course, as a feasible implementation, the transmission connection part can be a connecting post, and correspondingly, the linkage member is provided with a receiving groove, which can also achieve the linkage cooperation between the rotating member and the linkage member.
[0054] like Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, one end of the rotating base 51 includes a first plate 511a and a second plate 511b spaced apart. The gap between the first plate 511a and the second plate 511b forms a receiving groove. The driving mating part 512 is disposed on the surface of the first plate 511a away from the second plate 511b. The above structure is easy to process and implement.
[0055] In this embodiment, as Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the width of the first plate 511a is smaller than the width of the second plate 511b. The smaller width of the first plate 511a ensures proper fit between the first plate 511a and the driving component, while allowing space for other components on both sides of the first plate 511a, resulting in a more compact overall structure of the cooking appliance.
[0056] In this embodiment, the pivot connection 514 is a shaft, and the rotating base 51 is a rotating plate. Of course, the pivot connection can also be a shaft hole, and the rotating base can also be a rotating rod.
[0057] According to another aspect of the present invention, a cooking utensil is provided, such as Figures 1 to 6 As shown, the cooking appliance according to this embodiment includes: a pot body 10, a lid assembly 20, a locking mechanism 30, a buckle mechanism 40, a transmission mechanism 50, an unlocking component 60, and a push-pull structure 70.
[0058] The lid assembly 20 is closable and can be opened and closed on the pot body 10. The rear part of the lid assembly 20 is hinged to the pot body 10, and the front part of the lid assembly 20 is provided with a retaining plate 21a (e.g., Figure 9As shown, the lid assembly 20 has an open state and a closed state; the locking mechanism 30 is movably disposed on the lid assembly 20 and has a locked state for locking the pot body 10 and an unlocked state for unlocking the pot body 10; the latching mechanism 40 is rotatably disposed on the pot body 10 and can engage with the latching platform 21a; the transmission mechanism 50 includes a rotating member rotatably disposed on the lid assembly 20 and a linkage member 52 disposed between the rotating member and the locking mechanism 30, wherein the rotating member is the aforementioned rotating member; the unlocking member 60 is movably disposed on the pot body 10; the unlocking member 60 is driven to engage with the rotating member through the push structure 70.
[0059] In the above structure, when the cover assembly 20 switches from the closed state to the open state, the unlocking member 60 causes the pushing structure 70 to drive the rotating member to rotate. The rotating member drives the locking mechanism 30 to switch from the locked state to the unlocked state and remain in the unlocked state. The rotating member drives the latching mechanism 40 to separate from the latching section 21a.
[0060] Because the rotating component can solve the problem of increased size of cooking appliances caused by increased stroke of the driving component in related technologies, cooking appliances with this rotating component can also solve the above-mentioned problems. In this embodiment, the driving component that drives the rotating component to rotate is a push structure 70. The shortening of the stroke of the push structure 70 along the vertical direction of the cooking appliance can correspondingly shorten the stroke of the unlocking component 60, thereby reducing the overall size of the cooking appliance.
[0061] like Figure 3a and Figure 3d As shown, when the cover assembly 20 is in the closed state, part of the push-pull structure 70 is located within the clearance recess 513. This structure can effectively reduce the stroke of the push-pull structure 70.
[0062] like Figure 6 As shown, the top of the jacking structure 70 is provided with a driving inclined surface 74. The driving inclined surface 74 can engage with the jacking inclined surface surface, thereby improving the stability of the engagement.
[0063] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment, the push structure 70 includes a first push member 72 that is vertically mounted on the pot body 10 and a second push member 73 that is vertically mounted inside the lid assembly 20. The unlocking member 60 engages with the bottom end of the first push member 72, the top end of the first push member 72 engages with the bottom end of the second push member 73, and the top end of the second push member 73 engages with the rotating member. The placement of the first push member 72 inside the pot body 10 and the second push member 73 in the lid assembly 20 makes the push structure 70 easier to install and ensures the travel distance of the first push member 72 and the second push member 73. This allows the rotating member to rotate into position when the user operates the unlocking member 60, thereby improving the smoothness of opening the lid.
[0064] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the unlocking component 60 includes a button, and the pushing structure 70 also includes a third pushing component 71. The unlocking component 60 drives the third pushing component 71 to move horizontally. The top end of the third pushing component 71 and the bottom end of the first pushing component 72 are engaged by a beveled structure. This structure conforms to the user's operating habits and improves the user experience. The beveled structure converts the horizontal movement of the button into the vertical movement of the third pushing component 71. The third pushing component 71 can push the first pushing component 72 and the second pushing component 73 upwards in sequence, ultimately realizing the rotation drive of the rotating component. Preferably, the unlocking component 60 is mounted on the body 10 by a fixing ring 61.
[0065] like Figure 6 As shown, the push-up structure 70 also includes a first reset member (not shown) disposed between the cover assembly 20 and the second push-up member 73. The first reset member applies an elastic force to the second push-up member 73 to keep the second push-up member 73 in the lowered position. Figure 3d The aforementioned first reset component ensures that the second pusher 73 remains in the lowered position without being subjected to a pushing force, preventing the second pusher 73 from touching the rotating component, which could cause the locking mechanism 30 to move and result in an unreliable lock.
[0066] like Figure 6 As shown, in this embodiment, the cover assembly 20 has a mounting platform 26 with a mounting hole. The second pusher 73 includes a push rod 731 and a limiting plate 732 disposed on the push rod 731. The push rod 731 passes through the mounting hole. A mounting frame 27 is disposed above the mounting platform 26. The limiting plate 732 is located between the mounting platform 26 and the mounting frame 27. The first reset member is disposed between the mounting frame 27 and the limiting plate 732.
[0067] The latching mechanism 40 includes a first latch 41 and a second latch 42, both of which are rotatably mounted on the pot body 10. The second latch 42 engages or disengages with the latching platform 21a. Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, a driving part 516 is provided at the other end of the rotating component. When the rotating component rotates, the driving part 516 can drive the first latch 41 to rotate, so that the first latch 41 drives the second latch 42 to rotate. The above structure can better realize that when the rotating component rotates, the second latch is first connected to the latching platform and can remain relatively stationary, and the rotating component continues to rotate, driving the first latch to rotate and thus switching to the unlocking state.
[0068] When the rotating part rotates, the second latch 42 remains engaged with the latching section 21a. Figures 4a to 4dThe lid assembly 20 remains stationary relative to the pot body 10. In this state, the rotating component continues to drive the first latch 41 to rotate, which in turn drives the second latch 42 to rotate, causing the second latch 42 to separate from the locking platform 21a. Simultaneously or before the second latch 42 separates from the locking platform 21a, the rotating component can switch the locking mechanism 30 from the locked state to the unlocked state. Thus, the movement of the locking mechanism 30 occurs when the second latch 42 engages with the locking platform 21a. During the movement of the locking mechanism 30, the lid assembly 20 does not move upwards relative to the pot body 10, and the movement of the locking mechanism 30 does not interfere with other components within the lid assembly 20, resulting in smoother movement and thus smoother opening and closing of the lid assembly 20.
[0069] The cooking appliance also includes a second reset member 44 disposed between the pot body 10 and the first latch 41, and a third reset member 45 disposed between the pot body 10 and the second latch 42.
[0070] like Figure 1 As shown, the pot body 10 includes an inner pot 11 with a flanged rim 111. The linkage 52 includes a sliding plate with a groove. The locking mechanism 30 includes a mounting plate 31 and a clamp 32 at the bottom of the mounting plate 31. The clamp 32 can lock or unlock the flanged rim 111. The sliding plate moves in a direction perpendicular to the moving direction of the mounting plate 31. The mounting plate 31 has a limiting post 311 that passes through the groove. The lid assembly 20 includes a top cover 25, a liner 21 below the top cover 25, a metal fixing plate 22 below the liner 21, and an inner cover 23 detachably mounted below the metal fixing plate 22. The mounting plate 31 is movably mounted on the metal fixing plate 22, and the metal fixing plate 22 is buoyantly mounted below the liner 21 via a connector. The transmission mechanism 50 also includes a fourth reset component mounted between the liner 21 and the sliding plate. The fourth reset element is a tension spring. The fourth reset element applies an elastic force to the slide plate, causing the slide plate to move backward, thereby unlocking the locking mechanism 30.
[0071] The cover assembly 20 includes a cover 21, a latching portion 21a is disposed on the cover 21, and a fastening surface 21b is provided on the latching portion 21a.
[0072] The following section will provide a detailed description of the cooking appliance solution in this embodiment, with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0073] The process of closing the lid of the cooking appliance in this embodiment is as follows:
[0074] Phase 1: As Figures 5a to 5dThe inclined surface of the lower surface of the clamping section 21a causes the first latch 41 to move, and at the same time drives the second latch 42 to move. At this time, the clamp 32 is in the fully open state, the limiting post 311 is in the initial position, and the first distance between the clamp 32 and the pot opening flange 111 is L3, where L3 is the design gap.
[0075] Phase Two: As Figures 4a to 4d When the lid assembly 20 reaches the set position, the second latch 42 is reset and latched onto the latching plane 21b of the latching section 21a under the action of the third reset member 45, so that the pot body 10 and the lid assembly 20 are fastened together, ensuring that the lid assembly will not pop open or shake. At this time, the first latch 41 does not touch the rotating member, the slide plate does not move, the caliper 32 is in the fully open state, and the limit post 311 is in the initial position.
[0076] Furthermore, the first buckle 41 is fastened to the fastening plane 21b of the clamping platform 21a. The first buckle 41 triggers the rotating component, which in turn drives the slide plate to move, forcing the caliper 32 to move and the limiting post 311 to the second position.
[0077] When the limiting post 311 moves from the initial position to the second position, there is still a distance between the caliper 32 and the pot flange 111 to prevent the caliper 32 from contacting the pot flange 111. The second distance between the two is L4, where L4 < L3.
[0078] Phase Three: As Figures 3a to 3d The first buckle 41 contacts the bottom end of the rotating part (i.e. the driving part 516), causing it to rotate and forcing the slide plate to slide, so that the clamp 32 clamps the pot opening flange 111, and the limiting post 311 is in the third position; the force F of the second reset part 44 is greater than the force f of the fourth reset part.
[0079] The process of opening the lid of the cooking appliance in this embodiment is as follows:
[0080] Phase 1: As Figures 3a to 3d The limiting post 311 is in the third position, and the caliper 32 is located below the flange 111 of the pot opening;
[0081] Phase Two: As Figures 4a to 4d Push the unlocking part 60, push the third push part 71 to move inward, the third push part 71 drives the first push part 72 to move upward through the driving inclined surface, thereby driving the second push part 73 to move upward, thereby driving the rotating part to rotate, driving the slide to move, and driving the caliper 32 to move. When the limiting post 311 moves to the second position, the first buckle 41 contacts the second buckle 42, and the second buckle 42 is still fastened on the fastening plane 21b. At this time, the caliper 32 is completely disengaged from the pot opening flange 111.
[0082] Phase Three: As Figures 5a to 5dThe first buckle 41 drives the second buckle 42 to move, causing the second buckle 42 to disengage from the fastening plane 21b, and the cover assembly 20 opens, completing the opening of the cover.

[0084] In the description of this utility model, it should be understood that the directional terms such as "front, back, up, down, left, right", "horizontal, vertical, horizontal" and "top, bottom" indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description. Unless otherwise stated, these directional terms 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 on the scope of protection of this utility model. The directional terms "inner" and "outer" refer to the inner and outer contours of each component itself.
[0085] For ease of description, spatial relative terms such as "above," "on top of," "on the upper surface of," "above," etc., are used herein to describe the spatial positional relationship of a device or feature as shown in the figures to other devices or features. It should be understood that spatial relative terms are intended to encompass different orientations in use or operation beyond the orientation of the device as described in the figures. For example, if the device in the figures were inverted, a device described as "above" or "on top of" other devices or structures would subsequently be positioned as "below" or "under" other devices or structures. Thus, the exemplary term "above" can include both "above" and "below." The device may also be positioned in other different ways (rotated 90 degrees or in other orientations), and the spatial relative descriptions used herein will be interpreted accordingly.
[0086] Furthermore, it should be noted that the use of terms such as "first" and "second" to define components is merely for the purpose of distinguishing the corresponding components. Unless otherwise stated, the above terms have no special meaning and therefore cannot be construed as limiting the scope of protection of this utility model.
[0087] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the utility model. Various modifications and variations can be made to this utility model by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
