[0036] The fixing assembly includes a mounting cover 8, whose side wall is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the tilting frame 4. The mounting cover 8 provides positioning and guidance for the steamer lid body 1, enabling the steamer lid body 1 to be accurately installed on the tilting frame 4. The side wall of the steamer lid body 1 is slidably connected inside the mounting cover 8. A fixing sleeve 9 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the mounting cover 8. An insert rod 10 is slidably connected inside the fixing sleeve 9. The insert rod 10 is used to insert into the steamer lid body 1, fixing the steamer lid body 1 to the tilting frame 4 to prevent the steamer lid from loosening. The side wall of the insert rod 10 is slidably connected to the inside of the steamer lid body 1. A rotating handle 11 is rotatably connected to one end of the insert rod 10. The rotating handle 11 is used to drive the insertion rod 10 to slide, which facilitates the operator to fix and disassemble it. The side wall of the insertion rod 10 is fixedly connected to the fixing ring 12, and the side wall of the insertion rod 10 is fitted with a spring 13. The function of the spring 13 is to provide elastic force to push the insertion rod 10 into the steamer cover body 1. One end of the spring 13 is fixedly connected to the inside of the fixing sleeve 9, and the other end of the spring 13 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the fixing ring 12. The inside of the flipping frame 4 is rotatably connected to the connecting rod 7. The connecting rod 7 is used to transmit the power of the flipping frame 4 to the steamer cover body 1.

A connecting sleeve 20 is rotatably connected to the side wall of the fixed cylinder 14. The side wall of the connecting sleeve 20 is fixedly connected to the inside of the bracket 2. The connecting sleeve 20 is used to realize the rotational connection between the fixed cylinder 14 and the bracket 2, so that the fixed cylinder 14 can rotate flexibly within a certain range to adapt to the movement trajectory of the tilting frame 4 and avoid stress concentration caused by rigid connection. A connecting block 18 is slidably connected inside the fixed cylinder 14, and a limit block 16 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the sliding rod 15. The side wall of the limit block 16 is slidably connected to the inside of the fixed cylinder 14, and the limit block 16 is used to limit the sliding rod 15.

A damper 19 is fixedly connected inside the fixed cylinder 14. One end of the damper 19 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the connecting block 18. The damper 19 is used to convert the impact energy transmitted by the connecting block 18 into heat energy through the damping effect of the internal liquid, further consuming the impact energy and reducing vibration. The second spring 17 and the damper 19 together form the core buffer structure, achieving efficient absorption and consumption of the impact force during the tilting process, significantly reducing the vibration and noise of the mechanism.

[0039] Working principle: When the steamer lid body 1 needs to be flipped, the lead screw motor 5 is started. The motor shaft inside the lead screw motor 5 rotates, driving the screw cylinder body 6, which is threaded to it, to move linearly along the axial direction. Since one end of the screw cylinder body 6 is rotatably connected inside the flipping frame 4, the linear motion of the screw cylinder body 6 is converted into the rotation of the flipping frame 4 around the side wall of the base 3. When the flipping frame 4 rotates, it drives the steamer lid body 1 to flip synchronously through the connecting rod 7, thereby realizing the opening or closing action of the steamer lid. When installing the steamer lid body 1, slide the side wall of the steamer lid body 1 into the mounting cover 8, and then rotate the rotating handle 11 to drive the insertion rod 10 to slide inside the fixing sleeve 9. When the insertion rod 10 is inserted into the preset insertion hole inside the steamer lid body 1, the fixing ring 12, under the action of the spring 13, pushes the insertion rod 10 to maintain the inserted state, so that the steamer lid body 1 is firmly connected to the flipping frame 4, preventing the steamer lid from falling off during the flipping process. Disassembly of the steamer. When covering, rotate the handle 11 in the opposite direction to overcome the elastic force of spring 13 and pull the insert rod 10 out of the steamer cover body 1. Then remove the bolt on the connecting rod 7 to separate the steamer cover. During the process of the steamer cover body 1 being rotated by the flipping frame 4, one end of the slide rod 15 rotates with the flipping frame 4, and the other end slides inside the fixed cylinder 14. When the flipping frame 4 rotates and generates an impact force, the slide rod 15 slides into the fixed cylinder 14, causing the limit block 16 to compress the second spring 17. The second spring 17 absorbs part of the impact energy. At the same time, the connecting block 18 is pushed by the slide rod 15 to squeeze the damper 19. The damper 19 converts the remaining impact energy into heat energy and dissipates it through the damping effect of the internal liquid, further reducing the vibration and impact during the flipping process. The connecting sleeve 20, which is rotatably connected to the side wall of the fixed cylinder 14, can ensure that the fixed cylinder 14 can rotate flexibly during the buffering process to adapt to the movement trajectory of the flipping frame 4.
