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] As a modern, intelligent kitchen appliance, the automatic cooking machine has been widely used in homes and the catering industry in recent years. Its core function lies in simulating manual cooking actions through an automated robotic arm or stirring device, achieving precise temperature control, timed cooking, and automatic stirring. Automatic cooking machines not only improve cooking efficiency and reduce human intervention, but also produce standardized dishes through preset programs, meeting users' needs for a convenient and efficient cooking experience, making them especially suitable for the fast-paced modern lifestyle.

[0003] In related technologies, a cooking machine includes a pot body and a top cover, with the design of the top cover being crucial for the sealing and ease of operation during the cooking process. Specifically, the top cover consists of a first cover body and a second cover body. The first cover body is installed on top of the pot body in an openable and closable manner, forming a relatively stable sealed space; while the second cover body is placed over the feeding port of the first cover body, making it convenient for the user to add ingredients or seasonings during the cooking process.

[0004] However, in related technologies, although the design of the top cover of the cooking machine can meet the basic requirements for adding ingredients and sealing, in actual use, the first and second covers are prone to shaking in their rotation direction when opening and closing, which affects the user experience. Utility Model Content

[0005] This utility model provides a cooking appliance to solve the problem in related technologies where the first and second lids tend to wobble in their rotational direction when the lids are opened and closed, affecting the user experience.

[0006] This utility model provides a cooking utensil, which includes: a pot body; a lid, including a first lid and a second lid, the first lid being rotatably covered at the rim of the pot body and having a feeding port, and the second lid being rotatably covered at the feeding port; and a locking member, having a first locking structure and a second locking structure, the first locking structure being able to restrict the rotational position of the first lid relative to the pot body, and the second locking structure being able to restrict the rotational position of the second lid relative to the pot body.

[0007] Applying the technical solution of this utility model, the cooking appliance includes a pot body, a lid, and a locking mechanism. The first locking structure of the locking mechanism restricts the rotational position of the first lid relative to the pot body, and the second locking structure restricts the rotational position of the second lid relative to the pot body. Therefore, during use, under the limiting effect of the first and second locking structures, the first and second lids are less likely to wobble in their rotational direction when opening and closing, thus improving the user experience.

[0008] Furthermore, the locking component includes: a locking seat disposed on the pot body; a first locking block disposed on the first lid body, with a first locking structure between the locking seat and the first locking block; and a second locking block disposed on the second lid body, with a second locking structure between the locking seat and the second locking block. The locking seat and the first locking block cooperate to restrict the rotational position of the first lid body relative to the pot body, and the locking seat and the second locking block cooperate to restrict the rotational position of the second lid body relative to the pot body. Moreover, by providing one locking seat, it can cooperate with two first locking blocks simultaneously, making the structure of the locking component relatively simple.

[0009] Furthermore, the first locking structure includes a first locking groove and a first locking protrusion. One of the first locking groove and the first locking protrusion is disposed on the lock seat, and the other of the first locking groove and the first locking protrusion is disposed on the first locking block. When the first lid rotates relative to the pot body to a preset position, the first locking protrusion is engaged in the first locking groove. The second locking structure includes a second locking groove and a second locking protrusion. One of the second locking groove and the second locking protrusion is disposed on the lock seat, and the other of the second locking groove and the second locking protrusion is disposed on the second locking block. When the second lid rotates relative to the pot body to a preset position, the second locking protrusion is engaged in the second locking groove. The first locking block and the second locking block are located on both sides of the lock seat. Utilizing the combination of the locking groove and the locking protrusion provides the advantage of a simple locking structure.

[0010] Furthermore, the width of the first locking groove gradually increases in the direction from the bottom to the opening, and the shape of the first locking protrusion matches the shape of the first locking groove; and / or, the width of the second locking groove gradually increases in the direction from the bottom to the opening, and the shape of the second locking protrusion matches the shape of the second locking groove. By setting the locking groove and locking protrusion to the above shapes, the locking protrusion can be moved into or out of the locking groove without applying excessive force, facilitating operation.

[0011] Furthermore, the first locking block is movably disposed on the first cover to allow the first locking structure to switch between a locked state and an unlocked state; the second locking block is movably disposed on the second cover to allow the second locking structure to switch between a locked state and an unlocked state. By making the first and second locking blocks movable, combined with the aforementioned shapes of the locking groove and the locking protrusion, the locking blocks will not be subjected to excessive force when the locking protrusion enters or exits the locking groove, the locking components are less prone to damage, and the service life of the device can be extended.

[0012] Furthermore, the locking component also includes a first screw and a first spring. The first locking block is connected to the first cover via the first screw. The first locking block can move relative to the first cover along the axial direction of the first screw. The first spring is disposed between the first locking block and the first cover to move the first locking block toward the lock seat. And / or, the locking component also includes a second screw and a second spring. The second locking block is connected to the second cover via the second screw. The second locking block can move relative to the second cover along the axial direction of the second screw. The second spring is disposed between the second locking block and the second cover to move the second locking block toward the lock seat. With the above structure, the spring provides a restoring force to the corresponding locking block, causing the locking block to move toward the lock seat. This ensures that when the locking protrusion enters or exits the locking groove, the locking block is not subjected to excessive force, and the locking component is less prone to damage. Specifically, in the above structure, the first locking block slides on the lock seat by elastic compression. When the locking protrusion of the first locking block engages with the locking groove of the lock seat, it will lock. When the rotational force is greater than the locking force, the first locking block will compress the first spring, retract outward, and disengage from the locking groove, thus unlocking the lock. The locking principle of the second locking block is the same as that of the first locking block, and will not be described again here.

[0013] Furthermore, the first lid includes a metal layer and a plastic layer covering the outside of the metal layer, with a first locking block disposed on the plastic layer; and / or, the second lid includes a cantilever and a viewing cover, with the first end of the cantilever hinged to the pot body, the viewing cover disposed at the second end of the cantilever, and the second locking block disposed at the first end of the cantilever. The metal layer insulates the heat inside the cooking cavity, preventing the first lid from being damaged by heat, while the plastic layer covers the metal layer, improving the integrity of the first lid. Furthermore, the plastic layer facilitates the provision of a corresponding assembly structure for the first locking block. Users can see through the viewing cover to observe the cooking process inside the cooking cavity, facilitating subsequent operations. The cantilever allows for the opening and closing of the viewing cover, offering advantages such as simple structure and low cost. Moreover, the cantilever facilitates the provision of a corresponding assembly structure for the second locking block.

[0014] Furthermore, when the first lid is in the closed position, the first locking structure is locked; when the first lid is in the open position, the first locking structure is unlocked. And / or, when the second lid is in the closed position, the second locking structure is unlocked; when the second lid is in the open position, the second locking structure is locked. With this structure, when the first lid is in the closed position, the first locking structure is locked, ensuring a more secure fit and improving the airtightness of the cooking appliance. When the second lid is in the open position, the second locking structure is locked, preventing the second lid from loosening or falling off. The second lid will not wobble and will not interfere with the user's operations such as adding ingredients, thus improving ease of use.

[0015] Furthermore, the cooking appliance also includes a drive unit, which is motive-connected to the first and second lids, and capable of opening or closing the first and second lids. By using the drive unit to open or close the first and second lids, the user is no longer required to manually open or close them, thus increasing the automation level of the cooking appliance, simplifying user operation, and improving the user experience. Moreover, since a single drive unit can simultaneously open or close both lids (the first and second lids), the drive structure is simplified, reducing costs.

[0016] Furthermore, the second cover includes a cantilever and a viewing cover. The first end of the cantilever is hinged to the pot body, and the viewing cover is located at the second end of the cantilever. A water pipe and a spray nozzle are provided on the cantilever. The spray nozzle can spray water toward the cooking cavity formed by the pot body and the upper cover to clean the cooking cavity or add water during cooking. And / or, the cooking appliance also includes a stirring member, which is rotatably arranged in the cooking cavity formed by the pot body and the upper cover. The stirring member can stir-fry the food. And / or, the cooking appliance also includes a water tank, which is located on the pot body to supply water to the spray nozzle.

[0057] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. The following description of at least one exemplary embodiment is merely illustrative and is in no way intended to limit the present utility model or its application or use. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present utility model without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present utility model.

[0058] like Figures 1 to 29As shown, this embodiment of the present invention provides a cooking appliance, which includes a pot body 10, a lid 20, and a locking member 90. The lid 20 includes a first lid body 21 and a second lid body 22. The first lid body 21 is rotatably mounted on the pot opening 11 of the pot body 10 and has a feeding port 211. The second lid body 22 is rotatably mounted on the feeding port 211. The locking member 90 has a first locking structure 91 and a second locking structure 92. The first locking structure 91 can restrict the rotational position of the first lid body 21 relative to the pot body 10, and the second locking structure 92 can restrict the rotational position of the second lid body 22 relative to the pot body 10.

[0059] Using the cooking appliance provided in this embodiment, the first locking structure 91 of the locking member 90 can restrict the rotational position of the first lid 21 relative to the pot body 10, and the second locking structure 92 of the locking member 90 can restrict the rotational position of the second lid 22 relative to the pot body 10. Therefore, during use, under the limitation of the first locking structure 91 and the second locking structure 92, the first lid 21 and the second lid 22 are less likely to wobble in their rotational direction when opening and closing the lid, which can improve the user experience. Furthermore, by using one locking member 90 to limit the two lids simultaneously, the locking mechanism can be simplified and the manufacturing cost reduced.

[0060] like Figure 11 As shown, in this embodiment, the locking member 90 includes a locking seat 93, a first locking block 94, and a second locking block 95. The locking seat 93 is disposed on the pot body 10. The first locking block 94 is disposed on the first lid 21, and a first locking structure 91 is provided between the locking seat 93 and the first locking block 94. The second locking block 95 is disposed on the second lid 22, and a second locking structure 92 is provided between the locking seat 93 and the second locking block 95. The locking seat 93 and the first locking block 94 cooperate to restrict the rotational position of the first lid 21 relative to the pot body 10, and the locking seat 93 and the second locking block 95 cooperate to restrict the rotational position of the second lid 22 relative to the pot body 10.

[0061] Furthermore, by setting a lock seat 93, it can cooperate with two first lock blocks 94 at the same time, and the structure of the locking member 90 is relatively simple.

[0062] The first locking structure 91 includes a first locking groove 911 and a first locking protrusion 912. One of the first locking groove 911 and the first locking protrusion 912 is disposed on the lock seat 93, and the other of the first locking groove 911 and the first locking protrusion 912 is disposed on the first locking block 94. When the first cover 21 rotates relative to the pot body 10 to a preset position, the first locking protrusion 912 is engaged in the first locking groove 911. The second locking structure 92 includes a second locking groove 921 and a second locking protrusion 922. One of the second locking groove 921 and the second locking protrusion 922 is disposed on the lock seat 93, and the other of the second locking groove 921 and the second locking protrusion 922 is disposed on the second locking block 95. When the second cover 22 rotates relative to the pot body 10 to a preset position, the second locking protrusion 922 is engaged in the second locking groove 921. Furthermore, the first locking block 94 and the second locking block 95 are respectively located on both sides of the lock seat 93. By using a combination of locking grooves and locking protrusions, it has the advantage of a simple locking structure.

[0063] In this embodiment, the two opposite sidewalls of the lock base 93 are respectively provided with a first locking groove 911 and a second locking groove 921, a first locking protrusion 912 is provided on the first lock block 94, and a second locking protrusion 922 is provided on the second lock block 95.

[0064] like Figure 11 and Figure 12 As shown, the width of the first locking groove 911 gradually increases in the direction from the bottom to the opening, and the shape of the first locking protrusion 912 matches the shape of the first locking groove 911. The width of the second locking groove 921 gradually increases in the direction from the bottom to the opening, and the shape of the second locking protrusion 922 matches the shape of the second locking groove 921. By setting the locking groove and locking protrusion to the above shapes, the locking protrusion can be inserted into or disengaged from the locking groove without applying excessive force, which facilitates operation.

[0065] In this embodiment, the first locking block 94 is movably disposed on the first cover 21 to allow the first locking structure 91 to switch between a locked state and an unlocked state. The second locking block 95 is movably disposed on the second cover 22 to allow the second locking structure 92 to switch between a locked state and an unlocked state. By making the first locking block 94 and the second locking block 95 movable, combined with the aforementioned shapes of the locking groove and the locking protrusion, the locking blocks will not be subjected to excessive force when the locking protrusion enters or exits the locking groove, the locking components are less prone to damage, and the service life of the device can be extended.

[0066] like Figures 24 to 29As shown, in this embodiment, the locking member 90 further includes a first screw 96 and a first spring 97. A first locking block 94 is connected to the first cover 21 via the first screw 96. The first locking block 94 is movable relative to the first cover 21 along the axial direction of the first screw 96. The first spring 97 is disposed between the first locking block 94 and the first cover 21 to allow the first locking block 94 to move towards the lock seat 93. The locking member 90 also includes a second screw 98 and a second spring 99. A second locking block 95 is connected to the second cover 22 via the second screw 98. The second locking block 95 is movable relative to the second cover 22 along the axial direction of the second screw 98. The second spring 99 is disposed between the second locking block 95 and the second cover 22 to allow the second locking block 95 to move towards the lock seat 93. With the above structure, the spring can provide a restoring force to the corresponding lock block, so that the lock block moves toward the lock seat 93. This ensures that when the locking protrusion enters or exits the locking groove, the lock block will not be subjected to excessive force, and the locking component will not be easily damaged.

[0067] With the above structure, the first locking block 94 slides on the lock seat by elastic compression. When the locking protrusion of the first locking block 94 engages with the locking groove of the lock seat, it will lock. When the rotational force is greater than the locking force, the first locking block 94 will compress the first spring 97, retract outward and disengage from the locking groove, thus unlocking is completed. The locking principle of the second locking block 95 is the same as that of the first locking block 94, and will not be described again here.

[0068] like Figure 22 As shown, the first cover 21 includes a metal layer 212 and a plastic layer 213 that covers the outside of the metal layer 212. The first locking block 94 is disposed on the plastic layer 213. The metal layer 212 can insulate the heat inside the cooking cavity, preventing the first cover 21 from being damaged by heat. The plastic layer 213 can cover the metal layer 212, thereby improving the integrity of the first cover 21. Furthermore, the plastic layer 213 facilitates the provision of a corresponding assembly structure for the first locking block 94.

[0069] The second cover 22 includes a cantilever 221 and a viewing cover 222. The first end of the cantilever 221 is hinged to the pot body 10, the viewing cover 222 is located at the second end of the cantilever 221, and the second locking block 95 is located at the first end of the cantilever 221. Users can see through the viewing cover 222 to observe the cooking process inside the cooking cavity, facilitating subsequent operations. The opening and closing of the viewing cover 222 via the cantilever 221 has the advantages of simple structure and low cost. Furthermore, the cantilever 221 facilitates the provision of a corresponding assembly structure for the second locking block 95.

[0070] In this embodiment, when the first lid 21 is in the closed position, the first locking structure 91 is in a locked state; when the first lid 21 is in the open position, the first locking structure 91 is in an unlocked state. When the second lid 22 is in the closed position, the second locking structure 92 is in an unlocked state; when the second lid 22 is in the open position, the second locking structure 92 is in a locked state. With this structure, when the first lid 21 is in the closed position, the first locking structure 91 is in a locked state, making the first lid 21 more secure and improving the airtightness of the cooking appliance. When the second lid 22 is in the open position, the second locking structure 92 is in a locked state, preventing the second lid 22 from loosening or falling off. The second lid 22 will not affect the user's operations such as adding ingredients due to shaking, thus improving ease of use.

[0071] like Figure 4 As shown, the cooking appliance also includes a drive unit 30, which is motive-connected to the first cover 21 and the second cover 22. The drive unit 30 can drive the first cover 21 and the second cover 22 to open or close. By using the drive unit 30 to drive the first cover 21 and the second cover 22 to open or close, the user does not need to manually open or close the first cover 21 and the second cover 22, which improves the automation level of the cooking appliance, simplifies user operation, and thus enhances the user experience. Furthermore, since one drive unit can simultaneously drive the opening or closing of two covers (the first cover 21 and the second cover 22), the drive structure is simplified, and costs are reduced.

[0072] It should be noted that, in this embodiment, the ability of the driving component 30 to drive the first cover 21 and the second cover 22 to open or close means that the driving component 30 can drive the first cover 21 to switch between an open state and a closed state, and the driving component 30 can drive the second cover 22 to switch between an open state and a closed state.

[0073] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the driving element 30 is a single driving element. This allows for the simultaneous opening and closing of two covers using a single driving element, which simplifies the driving structure and reduces costs compared to using two separate driving elements to drive the opening and closing of the two covers.

[0074] In this embodiment, the cooking appliance also includes a transmission mechanism 40, through which the driving member 30 is driven to the first cover 21 and the second cover 22 respectively. By setting the transmission mechanism 40 to achieve the driving connection between the driving member 30 and the first cover 21, as well as the driving member 30 and the second cover 22, compared with the method of directly connecting the driving member 30 to the first cover 21 and the second cover 22, it has the advantage of flexible transmission structure setting, which can easily meet different opening needs.

[0075] For example, in this embodiment, the drive member 30 can drive the first cover 21 and the second cover 22 to open or close sequentially through the transmission mechanism 40, thereby increasing the ways to use the cooking appliance.

[0076] Specifically, the drive unit 30 first drives the second cover 22 to open via the transmission mechanism 40. After the second cover 22 is opened, the drive unit 30 drives the first cover 21 to open via the transmission mechanism. When closing the cover, the first cover 21 closes first, and after the first cover 21 closes, the second cover 22 closes.

[0077] Therefore, the locking mechanism has three states: locking when both the first and second covers are closed, locking after the second cover is open, and locking after both the first and second covers are open. By setting the locking mechanism, automatic locking before and after opening the cover can be achieved, making the opening smoother and the cover more stable after flipping.

[0078] Specifically, in this embodiment, the driving component 30 is a driving motor 31. The output shaft of the driving motor 31 is located below the rotation axis of the first cover 21 and the second cover 22. The center of gravity of the second cover 22 is located on the side away from the pot body 10 on the rotation axis. When the second cover 22 is in the open state, the second cover 22 is positioned and limited by the contact pressure of the cantilever 221 with the pot body. With the assistance of the second locking structure 92, the rotation is smoother. After the lid is opened, the locking of the second locking mechanism makes it more stable when it stops.

[0079] like Figures 4 to 10 As shown, in this embodiment, the transmission mechanism 40 includes a driving transmission member 41, a first driven transmission member 42, and a second driven transmission member 43. The driving transmission member 41 is rotatably mounted on the pot body 10, and the driving member 30 is drivenly connected to the driving transmission member 41. The driving transmission member 41 has a driving tooth 411. The first driven transmission member 42 is mounted on the first cover 21 and has a first driven tooth 421 capable of meshing with the driving tooth 411. The second driven transmission member 43 is mounted on the second cover 22 and has a second driven tooth 431 capable of meshing with the driving tooth 411. Using the above structure, transmission is achieved through a gear structure, which has the advantages of simple and stable transmission structure.

[0080] like Figures 6 to 8As shown, the active transmission component 41 includes an active shaft 412 and a first gear 413 and a second gear 414 disposed on the active shaft 412. The driving component 30 is drivenly connected to the active shaft 412. The first gear 413 and the second gear 414 are arranged along the axial direction of the active shaft 412. The first gear 413 has an active tooth 411 that can mesh with the first driven tooth 421, and the second gear 414 has an active tooth 411 that can mesh with the second driven tooth 431. Both the first gear 413 and the second gear 414 are incomplete gears. When the active shaft 412 rotates, the first gear 413 and the second gear 414 alternately mesh with the corresponding driven transmission component. By setting the first gear 413 and the second gear 414 as incomplete gears, and by utilizing the alternating meshing of the first gear 413 and the second gear 414 with the corresponding driven transmission component, the driving component 30 can drive the first cover 21 and the second cover 22 to open or close sequentially through the transmission mechanism 40.

[0081] It should be noted that when the drive shaft 412 rotates, the first gear 413 and the second gear 414 take turns meshing with the corresponding driven transmission components. The corresponding driven transmission components refer to: the first gear 413 corresponds to the first driven transmission component 42, and the second gear 414 corresponds to the second driven transmission component 43.

[0082] like Figure 5 , Figure 9 and Figure 10 As shown, the first driven transmission member 42 is a first arc-shaped rack 422, which extends around the rotation axis of the driving transmission member 41. The first driven tooth 421 is disposed on the first arc-shaped rack 422. The second driven transmission member 43 is a second arc-shaped rack 432, which extends around the rotation axis of the driving transmission member 41. The second driven tooth 431 is disposed on the second arc-shaped rack 432. Both the first arc-shaped rack 422 and the second arc-shaped rack 432 are arc-shaped structures. This structure, when used in conjunction with the incomplete gears of the first gear 413 and the second gear 414, can further simplify the structure of the first driven transmission member 42 and the second driven transmission member 43, thereby reducing costs, while enabling the driving member 30 to drive the first cover 21 and the second cover 22 to open or close sequentially via the transmission mechanism 40.

[0083] In this embodiment, along the axial direction of the drive shaft 412, the projections of some of the driving teeth 411 on the first gear 413 overlap with the projections of some of the driving teeth 411 on the second gear 414. With this structure, the switching between the first gear 413 and the second gear 414 and their corresponding driven transmission components is smoother, reducing the likelihood of jamming.

[0084] For example, 21 to Figure 23As shown, in this embodiment, the cooking appliance also includes a fixed bracket 50. An active transmission component 41 is rotatably mounted on the fixed bracket 50, and the active transmission component 41 is axially positioned within the fixed bracket 50. A driving component 30 is mounted on the fixed bracket 50, and the fixed bracket 50 is connected to the pot body 10. The fixed bracket 50 enables the fixation of the active transmission component 41 and the driving component 30. Since the active transmission component 41 and the driving component 30 share a single bracket for fixation, the assembly structure is simplified.

[0085] The drive component 30 includes a drive motor 31, which has the advantages of easy control and simple structure.

[0086] The drive motor is fixed to the mounting bracket 50 using two screws, and the active transmission component is installed at the same time. The mounting bracket 50 is a U-shaped part. The drive motor is secured on the left side with two screws, and the active transmission component is limited on the right side to ensure that the drive motor and the active transmission component rotate coaxially. Then, the mounting bracket 50 is fixed to the outer shell of the pot body with two screws.

[0087] In this embodiment, the cooking appliance also includes a rotating shaft 60, and the first lid 21 and the second lid 22 are both pivotally connected to the pot body 10 via the rotating shaft 60. The first lid 21 and the second lid 22 rotate around the same rotating axis, which facilitates the arrangement of the transmission structure.

[0088] Specifically, in this embodiment, a water pipe 223 and a spray nozzle 224 are provided on the cantilever 221. The spray nozzle 224 can spray water toward the cooking cavity formed by the pot body 10 and the upper cover 20 to clean the cooking cavity or add water during the cooking process. In this embodiment, the spray nozzle 224 is a water-driven rotating nozzle.

[0089] The cooking appliance also includes a stirring element 70, which is rotatably disposed within the cooking cavity formed by the pot body 10 and the top cover 20. The stirring element 70 is capable of stirring food.

[0090] like Figure 1 As shown, the cooking appliance also includes a water tank 80, which is mounted on the pot body 10. A water pipe 223 is connected to the water tank 80 to supply water to the spray nozzle 224.

[0091] Cooking appliances include, but are not limited to, stir-fry machines and multi-functional pots.
