[0013] The present embodiment will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings, but the present invention is not limited or restricted by the present embodiment. In describing the present invention, specific descriptions may be omitted due to known functions or configurations in order to clarify the gist of the present invention.

[0014] FIG. 1 is an oblique view of a cooker lid according to the present invention, FIG. 2 is a side view of a cooker lid according to the present invention, FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional view of a cooker lid according to the present invention, and FIG. 4 is a diagram explaining the cooker lid according to the present invention being installed on a pot.

[0015] 1 to 4, a cooker cover 100 according to the present invention includes a body 110 and a handle 120 located at the center of the body 110. The body 110 is formed in a convex shape with the center protruding upward, or in a shape with the center protruding upward compared to the edge.

[0016] The handle 120 is formed in the center of the body 110 and includes a first opening 121 that opens downward of the body 110 and a second opening 122 that opens upward of the body 110. The first opening 121 is formed to have a smaller area than the second opening 122.

[0017] In addition, a plug 130 for preventing overflow is provided in the handle 120. The plug 130 for preventing overflow is formed in a shape that bulges upward and opens downward.

[0018] The body 110, the handle 120, and the plug for preventing overflow 130 are made of metal, ceramics, or the like.

[0019] The body 110 and the handle 120 may be integrally formed from one material. The upper portion of the handle 120 is formed to protrude horizontally outward, making it easy for a user to hold the handle 120.

[0020] The overflow prevention plug 130 covers the first opening 121 of the handle 120. The lower part of the overflow prevention plug 130 is in contact with the periphery of the first opening 121.

[0021] As shown in FIG. 4, when food is to be cooked in a pot 200, the pot 200 is covered with a cover 100 of the cooker of the present invention.

[0022] An overflow prevention plug 130 is installed in the handle 120 of the lid 100 of the cooker to close the first opening 121.

[0023] The overflow prevention plug 130 is disposed at a position higher than the highest part of the body 110 and is seated inside the handle 120. The height of the overflow prevention plug 130 is formed to be greater than 20% and less than 80% of the height of the handle 120.

[0024] Moreover, the area of ​​the overflow prevention plug 130 is larger than the first opening 121 and smaller than the second opening 122 .

[0025] Therefore, when the internal pressure between the pot 200 and the cooker lid 100 does not reach a predetermined pressure, the overflow prevention plug 130 maintains the internal pressure by blocking the first opening 121. Furthermore, when the food boils and the pressure increases, the overflow prevention plug 130 bounces due to the pressure, relieving the internal pressure.

[0026] Here, some of the food may spill through the first opening 121. In the present invention, since the periphery of the first opening 121 becomes lower as it approaches the first opening 121, the food that has spilled through the first opening 121 flows back into the space between the pot 200 and the cooker lid 100 through the first opening 121.

[0027] Meanwhile, in the present invention, the overflow prevention plug 130 is not fixed or connected to the main body 110 or the handle 120. Therefore, it can be easily separated from the handle 120, and the main body 110 and the overflow prevention plug 130 are very easy to clean.

[0028] FIG. 5 is a perspective view of a lid for a cooker according to the present invention, and FIG. 6 is a view for explaining the lid for a cooker according to the present invention placed on a pot.

[0029] 5 and 6, the overflow prevention plug 140 is formed in a different shape from that described in Figures 1 to 4. The overflow prevention plug 140 is formed in a spherical shape and closes the first opening 121.

[0030] When the internal pressure between the pot 200 and the cooker lid 100 does not reach a predetermined pressure, the overflow prevention plug 140 maintains the internal pressure by closing the first opening 121. When the food boils and the pressure increases, the overflow prevention plug 140 bounces due to the pressure to relieve the internal pressure.

[0031] FIG. 7 is a view showing a cover to be combined with the lid of a cooker according to the present invention, and FIGS. 8 and 9 are views showing the overflow prevention plug and the cover combined with the lid of the cooker.

[0032] As shown in FIG. 7 to FIG. 9, a cover 150 coupled to the cooker lid 100 is coupled to a handle 120 of the cooker lid 100. As shown in FIG.

[0033] The cover 150 includes an upper surface member 150a and a side surface member 150b, the upper surface member 150a partially covering the second opening 122 of the handle 120, and the side surface member 150b embracing the side surface of the handle 120.

[0034] The cover 150 is made of a synthetic resin or synthetic rubber material having appropriate elasticity, and the cover 150 can be separated or attached to the handle 120 by a user.

[0035] The cover 150 serves to guide the spill prevention plugs 130, 140 so that they do not easily come off or turn back outside the handle 120, and protects the user's hands from the hot handle 120 when the user holds the handle 120.

[0036] An upper surface member 150a of the cover 150 is partially formed with a through hole 151 so that hot air coming out through the first opening 121 can be discharged to the outside.

[0037] The through hole 151 may be formed in various shapes, and in this embodiment, it is formed in a semicircular shape as an example. The through hole 151 is formed in a shape and size such that the overflow prevention plugs 130, 140 do not easily come off.

[0038] In this way, the cover of the cooker according to the present invention forms the overflow prevention plugs 130, 140 with a simple structure, and can relieve the pressure inside the pot and prevent the food from easily spilling out.

[0039] In addition, the cover of the cooker according to the present invention further includes a cover 150, which prevents the overflow prevention plugs 130, 140 from easily coming off and protects the user's hands from burns.

[0040] The above description focuses on the embodiment, but this is merely an example and does not limit the present invention. A person having ordinary knowledge in the field to which the present invention belongs will understand that various modifications and applications not exemplified above are possible within the scope of the essential characteristics of the present embodiment. For example, each component specifically shown in the embodiment can be modified and implemented. In addition, differences related to such modifications and applications should be interpreted as being included in the scope of the present invention defined in the appended claims.
