Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of small household appliance technology, and more specifically, to a cooking utensil. Background Technology

[0002] The cooking utensil includes a pot body and a lid, with the pot body having a toothed edge. The lid includes a lid body, a handle on the lid body, and a locking mechanism on the lid body. Rotating the handle actuates the locking mechanism, allowing it to engage or disengage from the toothed edge.

[0003] The related technology includes a cover body with a swing arm, a transmission plate, a linkage mechanism, and a drive column. The swing arm is oscillatingly mounted on the cover body, and rotating the handle drives the swing arm to oscillate. The transmission plate is rotatably mounted on the cover body, with its first end engaging with the swing arm via a linkage mechanism, and its second end engaging with a locking structure via a drive column.

[0004] Therefore, when the user needs to open the lid, they need to turn the handle, which in turn drives the locking mechanism via the rocker arm, linkage mechanism, transmission plate, and drive column, allowing the locking mechanism to separate from the jaws. This makes the lid-opening operation complex and inefficient. Utility Model Content

[0005] The main objective of this invention is to provide a cooking appliance that solves the problems of complex transmission process and low transmission efficiency in the opening operation of related technologies.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides a cooking utensil, comprising: a pot body, a lid, a transmission component, a first operating component, and a gear structure. The pot body has a toothed edge. The lid covers the pot body and includes a lid body main body and a first locking mechanism disposed on the lid body main body. The first locking mechanism is movably disposed relative to the lid body main body and has a first unlocking position separated from the toothed edge and a first locking position engaged with the toothed edge. The transmission component is rotatably disposed on the lid body main body. The first operating component is rotatably disposed on the pot body. The gear structure is disposed on the first operating component and rotates synchronously with the first operating component, and the gear structure is in sliding engagement with the transmission component. When the first operating component rotates, the rotation of the gear structure drives the transmission component to switch the first locking mechanism between the unlocking position and the locking position.

[0007] By applying the technical solution of this utility model, the user rotates the first operating component on the pot body. The rotation of the first operating component drives the gear structure to rotate, and the gear structure, through a transmission component, drives the first locking mechanism to rotate. Furthermore, the gear structure is simple in structure, reliable in transmission, capable of withstanding and transmitting large forces, and has high transmission efficiency. Thus, when the user needs to open the lid, rotating the first operating component drives the gear structure and transmission component to rotate the first locking mechanism. The transmission structure is simple, and the transmission efficiency is high. Therefore, the technical solution of this application effectively solves the problems of complex transmission processes and low transmission efficiency in lid-opening operations in related technologies.

[0008] Furthermore, the gear structure includes a first gear connected to the first operating element and a second gear disposed on the cover body. The first gear can engage with the second gear in a transmission drive, and the second gear is in a sliding engagement with the transmission element. The first and second gears have simple structures and reliable transmission. Alternatively, the gear structure includes a third gear connected to the first operating element and a rack disposed on the cover body. The third gear can engage with the rack in a transmission drive, and the rack is in a sliding engagement with the transmission element. The third gear and rack have simple structures, reliable transmission, and can withstand and transmit larger driving forces.

[0009] Furthermore, when the second gear is mounted on the cover body, the cover body is provided with a first limiting part and a second limiting part spaced apart, and the second gear is rotatably mounted between the first limiting part and the second limiting part. The first limiting part and the second limiting part can limit the rotation of the second gear on the cover body, so that the rotation of the second gear on the cover body is more stable and reliable.

[0010] Furthermore, the gear structure is provided with a sliding guide portion, which has a preset distance from the rotation center of the gear structure. A portion of the transmission component extends into the sliding guide portion, and when the gear structure rotates, the sliding guide portion pushes the transmission component to rotate. In this way, the sliding engagement between the sliding guide portion and the transmission component drives the transmission component to rotate, making the transmission process smooth and enabling the force on the gear structure to be smoothly transmitted to the transmission component.

[0011] Furthermore, the first operating member is provided with a first synchronizing part, and the gear structure is provided with a second synchronizing part, with the first synchronizing part and the second synchronizing part engaging in a plug-in fit. This arrangement enables the first operating member and the gear structure to rotate synchronously, improving transmission efficiency.

[0012] Furthermore, the first synchronizing part is one of the synchronizing groove and the synchronizing protrusion, and the second synchronizing part is the other of the synchronizing groove and the synchronizing protrusion. This arrangement makes the transmission between the first operating element and the gear structure more reliable, and also simplifies the structure and facilitates machining.

[0013] Furthermore, a boss is provided on the top of the pot body, and a clearance hole for a gear structure is provided on the boss. The clearance hole can avoid the gear structure, and the boss can prevent liquid on the top of the pot body from entering the pot body through the clearance hole.

[0014] Furthermore, the cooking appliance also includes a second locking mechanism, which is movably mounted on the pot body and has a second locking position for locking the lid onto the pot body and a second unlocking position for unlocking the lid so that it can be opened from the pot body. The second locking mechanism enables the lid to be locked onto the pot body more reliably.

[0015] Furthermore, the cooking appliance also includes a second operating member disposed on the pot body and a resilient reset member disposed between the pot body and the second operating member, with the second operating member adjacent to the first operating member. This facilitates operation between the first and second operating members by reducing the distance traveled back and forth, simplifying operation and improving the user experience. The second operating member is movably disposed and drives the second locking mechanism to switch from a second locked position to a second unlocked position. The resilient reset member applies a reset force away from the pot body to the second operating member, causing it to move from the position driving the second locking mechanism to a position avoiding the second locking mechanism. The resilient reset member allows the second operating member to avoid the second locking mechanism when not subjected to a driving force, enabling the second locking mechanism to remain in either the second locked or second unlocked position.

[0016] Furthermore, a fixed post is provided on the main body of the cover, and a transmission component is rotatably mounted on the fixed post. An arc-shaped hole is also provided on the main body of the cover. The first end of the transmission component has a drive elongated hole corresponding to the arc-shaped hole, and the second end of the transmission component has a drive arm that slides with the gear structure. A drive post is provided on the first locking mechanism, passing through the arc-shaped hole and the drive elongated hole. The gear structure drives the transmission component to rotate via the drive arm, causing the drive elongated hole to drive the drive post to rotate, thereby switching the first locking mechanism between a first unlocked position and a first locked position. The arc-shaped hole allows the drive post on the first locking mechanism to pass through the arc-shaped hole and extend into the drive elongated hole, so that the drive elongated hole can drive the drive post to rotate when it moves, while the arc-shaped hole avoids the rotation of the drive post. When the gear structure rotates, it drives the transmission component to rotate via the drive arm. Its structure is simple and its transmission is reliable. Attached Figure Description

It should also be understood that, for ease of description, the dimensions of the various parts shown in the drawings are not drawn to actual scale.

Therefore, other examples of exemplary embodiments may have different values. It should be noted that similar reference numerals and letters in the following drawings denote similar items; therefore, once an item is defined in one drawing, it need not be further discussed in subsequent drawings.

[0036] like Figures 1 to 6As shown, this embodiment provides a cooking appliance, which includes: a pot body, a lid, a transmission component 30, a first operating component 40, and a gear structure. The pot body has a toothed part 11. The lid covers the pot body and includes a lid body 22 and a first locking mechanism 21 disposed on the lid body 22. The first locking mechanism 21 is movably disposed relative to the lid body 22 and has a first unlocking position separated from the toothed part 11 and a first locking position engaged with the toothed part 11. The transmission component 30 is rotatably disposed on the lid body 22. The first operating component 40 is rotatably disposed on the pot body. The gear structure is disposed on the first operating component 40 and rotates synchronously with the first operating component 40, and the gear structure is in sliding engagement with the transmission component 30. When the first operating component 40 rotates, the rotation of the gear structure drives the transmission component 30 to switch the first locking mechanism 21 between the unlocking position and the locking position.

[0037] Applying the technical solution of this embodiment, the user rotates the first operating member 40 on the pot body. The rotation of the first operating member 40 drives the gear structure to rotate, and the gear structure drives the first locking mechanism 21 to rotate through the transmission member 30. Furthermore, the gear structure is simple in structure, reliable in transmission, capable of withstanding and transmitting large forces, and has high transmission efficiency. Thus, when the user needs to open the lid, rotating the first operating member 40 drives the gear structure and the transmission member 30 to rotate the first locking mechanism 21. The transmission structure is simple and the transmission efficiency is high. Therefore, the technical solution of this application effectively solves the problems of complex transmission process and low transmission efficiency in lid opening operations in related technologies.

[0038] Furthermore, since the transmission ratio of the gear structure is adjustable, the transmission ratio can be set according to the rotational speed or rotational angle of the first operating member 40 and the transmission member 30, so as to further improve the transmission efficiency of the opening operation.

[0039] This embodiment discloses a first locking mechanism 21, including a locking ring or a locking cover rotatably mounted on the lid body 22. The locking ring or locking cover has cover teeth that engage or disengage with pot teeth 11. The pot teeth in this application can be a pot rim, a raised rim, or an outwardly turned edge.

[0040] In other embodiments, the first locking mechanism 21 includes a clamp structure that is movable in the radial direction of the lid body 22. The clamp structure has cap teeth that engage or disengage with the pot teeth 11. Alternatively, the first locking mechanism 21 includes a flap that has cap teeth. The flap is flipped onto the lid body 22, and the cap teeth engage or disengage with the pot teeth 11.

[0041] like Figures 1 to 6As shown, the gear structure includes a first gear 51 connected to the first operating member 40 and a second gear 52 disposed on the cover body 22. The first gear 51 can engage with the second gear 52 for transmission, and the second gear 52 can engage with the transmission member 30 for sliding. The first gear 51 and the second gear 52 have simple structures, reliable transmission, and can withstand and transmit large driving forces, so that the first operating member 40 can stably and reliably drive the transmission member 30 to rotate through the gear structure.

[0042] In other embodiments, the gear structure includes a third gear connected to the first operating member 40 and a rack disposed on the cover body 22. The third gear can engage with the rack in a transmission manner, and the rack is in sliding engagement with the transmission member 30. The structure of the third gear and the rack is simple, the transmission is reliable, and it can withstand and transmit a large driving force.

[0043] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, when the second gear 52 is mounted on the cover body 22, the cover body 22 is provided with a first limiting part 221 and a second limiting part 222 spaced apart. The second gear 52 is rotatably mounted between the first limiting part 221 and the second limiting part 222. The first limiting part 221 and the second limiting part 222 can limit the rotation of the second gear 52 on the cover body 22, making the rotation of the second gear 52 more stable and reliable.

[0044] In this embodiment, the first limiting part 221 and the second limiting part 222 are located on both sides of the rotation axis of the second gear 52 to restrict the movement of the second gear 52 along its rotation axis. A drive groove is formed between the first limiting part 221 and the second limiting part 222, and the second gear 52 is rotatably disposed in the drive groove. Both the first limiting part 221 and the second limiting part 222 are limiting plates, and both limiting plates are provided with connecting holes, in which the shaft of the third gear is rotatably disposed.

[0045] like Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the gear structure is provided with a sliding guide portion 521, and there is a preset distance between the sliding guide portion 521 and the rotation center of the gear structure. A portion of the transmission member 30 extends into the sliding guide portion 521, and when the gear structure rotates, the sliding guide portion 521 pushes the transmission member 30 to rotate. In this way, the sliding engagement between the sliding guide portion 521 and the transmission member 30 drives the transmission member 30 to rotate, making the transmission process smooth and able to smoothly transmit the force on the gear structure to the transmission member. The sliding guide portion 521 can quickly and smoothly transmit the driving force of the gear structure to the rotating member. Furthermore, because there is a preset distance between the sliding guide portion 521 and the rotation center of the gear structure, the portion of the transmission member 30 extending into the sliding guide portion 521 can be eccentrically positioned relative to the rotation center of the gear structure, so that the driving force can be effectively transmitted to the transmission member 30 when the gear structure rotates.

[0046] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the first operating member 40 is provided with a first synchronizing part, and the gear structure is provided with a second synchronizing part. The first synchronizing part and the second synchronizing part are inserted and fitted together. The structure of the first synchronizing part and the second synchronizing part is simple and easy to manufacture. The above arrangement allows the first operating member 40 to drive the gear structure to rotate synchronously through the first synchronizing part and the second synchronizing part, so that the first operating member 40 and the gear structure can rotate synchronously, thereby improving the transmission efficiency.

[0047] In this embodiment, a positioning post is provided on the first operating member 40, and a positioning hole is provided on the first gear 51. The positioning post and the positioning hole cooperate with each other and the first operating member 40 and the first gear 51 are fixedly connected by screws.

[0048] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the first synchronizing part is a synchronizing protrusion 41, and the second synchronizing part is a synchronizing groove 511. The synchronizing protrusion 41 and the synchronizing groove 511 have simple structures and are easy to process. Furthermore, the connection between the synchronizing protrusion 41 and the synchronizing groove 511 is tight and reliable when they are inserted into each other, making the transmission between the first operating member 40 and the gear structure more reliable. The structure is also simple and easy to process and form.

[0049] In other embodiments, the first synchronization part is a synchronization groove 511, and the second synchronization part is a synchronization protrusion 41.

[0050] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, a boss 12 is provided on the top of the pot body, and a clearance hole 121 for a gear structure is provided on the boss 12. In this way, the clearance hole 121 can avoid the gear structure, so that the gear structure can drive and engage with the transmission component 30 on the lid body 22. The boss 12 can prevent liquid on the top of the pot body from entering the pot body through the clearance hole 121, thus improving the reliability of the cooking appliance during use.

[0051] like Figures 1 to 6As shown, the cooking appliance also includes a second locking mechanism 60. The second locking mechanism 60 is movably mounted on the pot body and has a second locking position for locking the lid onto the pot body and a second unlocking position for unlocking the lid so that it can be opened from the pot body. The second locking mechanism 60 allows the lid to be locked onto the pot body more reliably, making use safer when the cooking space inside the appliance is under high pressure.

[0052] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, the cooking appliance also includes a second operating member 70 disposed on the pot body and a resilient reset member 81 disposed between the pot body and the second operating member 70. The second operating member 70 is disposed adjacent to the first operating member 40, which reduces the distance the user needs to travel back and forth when operating between the first operating member 40 and the second operating member 70, making operation simpler and improving the user experience. The second operating member 70 is movably disposed and drives the second locking mechanism 60 from a second locked position to a second unlocked position. The resilient reset member 81 applies a reset force away from the pot body to the second operating member 70, causing the second operating member 70 to move from a position driving the second locking mechanism 60 to a position avoiding the second locking mechanism 60. The resilient reset member 81 allows the second operating member 70 to avoid the second locking mechanism 60 when not subjected to a driving force, allowing the second locking mechanism 60 to remain in either the second locked or second unlocked position. The resilient reset member 81 has a simple structure and is easy to manufacture.

[0053] In this embodiment, when the second operating member 70 is not subjected to driving force, the second locking position switches to the second locking position, so that the lid can be more reliably locked onto the pot body. The elastic reset member 81 is a spring. The second locking mechanism 60 is a fastening plate, and the fastening plate has rotating shafts on both sides, which are rotatably mounted on the middle plate 14. The bottom of the lid body 22 is provided with a buckle 225 that engages or disengages with the fastening plate. When the fastening plate engages with the buckle 225, the second locking mechanism 60 is in the second locking position. When the fastening plate disengages from the buckle 225, the second locking mechanism 60 is in the second unlocking position.

[0054] By applying the technical solution of this embodiment, both the first operating component 40 and the second operating component 70 are set on the pot body, reducing the number of operating components on the lid and increasing the utilization area of ​​the top surface of the lid. This facilitates the setting of the light panel and interactive interface on the top surface of the lid, enhances the area of ​​the interactive interface between the cooking appliance and the user, and improves the user's ease of operation and product experience.

[0055] like Figures 1 to 6As shown, a fixed post 223 is provided on the main body 22 of the cover, and a transmission component 30 is rotatably mounted on the fixed post 223. An arc-shaped hole 224 is also provided on the main body 22 of the cover. The first end of the transmission component 30 is provided with a drive elongated hole 31 corresponding to the arc-shaped hole 224, and the second end of the transmission component 30 is provided with a drive arm 32 that slides with a gear structure. A drive post 211 is provided on the first locking mechanism 21, passing through the arc-shaped hole 224 and the drive elongated hole 31. This allows the transmission component 30 to rotate around the axis of the fixed post 223, making the rotation of the transmission component 30 smoother. The arc-shaped hole 224 allows the drive post 211 on the first locking mechanism 21 to pass through the arc-shaped hole 224 and extend into the drive elongated hole 31, so that when the drive elongated hole 31 moves, it can drive the drive post 211 to rotate, while the arc-shaped hole 224 can avoid the rotation of the drive post 211. The gear structure drives the transmission component 30 to rotate via the drive arm 32, which in turn drives the drive column 211 to rotate via the drive elongated hole 31, thereby switching the first locking mechanism 21 between the first unlocked position and the first locked position. The drive arm 32 has a simple structure and is easy to manufacture. When the gear structure rotates, it drives the transmission component 30 to rotate via the drive arm 32. Its structure is simple, the transmission is reliable, the transmission process is simple, and the transmission efficiency is improved.

[0056] In this embodiment, the lid also includes an upper cover 23 covering the lid body 22. The pot body includes an outer pot and an inner pot 15 disposed inside the outer pot. The outer pot includes a shell 13, a middle plate 14 disposed on the top of the shell 13, and a pressure-bearing ring disposed above the middle plate 14. The inner pot 15 is placed inside the pressure-bearing ring, and pot teeth 11 are disposed on the pressure-bearing ring. The cooking appliance also includes a base and a heating element disposed below the inner pot 15.

[0057] In this embodiment, the first operating element 40 is a knob, and the second operating element 70 is a button movably disposed within the knob. The housing 13 has a mounting hole for mounting the mounting base 82, and the first operating element 40 is rotatably mounted on the mounting base 82. The knob is located on the outer side of the mounting base 82, and the gear structure is located on the inner side of the mounting base 82. The first end of the fastening plate is a driving end, and the second end of the fastening plate has a fastening part that can engage with the snap fastener 225. The second operating element 70 includes a button post 71, which is movably disposed within the knob. When the button post 71 moves, it abuts against the first end of the fastening plate to drive the second end of the fastening plate to engage or disengage with the snap fastener 225. The second operating element 70 also includes an anti-disengagement buckle; the first operating element 40 has an anti-disengagement hole, and the anti-disengagement buckle is inserted into the anti-disengagement hole to prevent the second operating element 70 from disengaging from the first operating element 40.

[0058] In other embodiments, the pot teeth 11 are disposed on the outer pot or the inner pot 15. The outer pot includes an outer shell 13 and a heat insulation cover disposed within the outer shell 13, and the pot teeth 11 are disposed on the heat insulation cover.

[0059] In this embodiment, a pivot and a torsion spring are provided between the lid and the pot body to achieve automatic opening of both, that is, automatic separation of the fastening plate from the buckle 225. The lid is pivotally mounted on the pot body and connected to the pot body via the torsion spring. A fixing hole 141 is provided below the middle plate 14, and the rotating shafts on both sides of the fastening plate are rotatably disposed in the fixing hole 141.

[0060] In this embodiment, when the user needs to open the lid, the first operating member 40 is rotated to drive the lid teeth and pot teeth 11 to separate, and the second operating member 70 is operated to drive the second locking member to switch to the second unlocking position so that the lid can be opened from the pot body.

[0061] The cooking appliance in this embodiment is an electric pressure cooker. Of course, in embodiments not shown in the figures, the pot body can also be a cup or an inner pot. The cooking appliance can also be a rice cooker, a low-pressure rice cooker, a soy milk maker, a food processor, a stir-fry machine, an electric slow cooker, a multi-functional pot, etc.
