Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of household appliances, in particular to cooking appliances. [Background technology]

[0002] In existing pressure-grilling cookers, the grilling assembly is mounted on a cover and radiates heat from the cover towards the cooker body. When the grilling assembly is heated, heat is radiated upwards towards the cover body, where numerous plastic parts are also located and susceptible, creating a safety risk.

[0003] In other words, the technical problem lies in the fact that the plastic parts in the cover body of existing cookware are highly affected by temperature. Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] The main objective of the present invention is to provide a cookware that solves the problem that the plastic parts in the cover body of the existing cookware are greatly affected by temperature. [Means for solving the problem]

[0005] To achieve this object, according to one aspect of the present invention, a cooking utensil is provided, comprising a cover and a body on which the cover is disposed, the cover opening and closing the body, the body including a heating structure, the cover including a cover body having an air passage, a baking assembly disposed inside the cover body and including a heat shield and a heating element disposed below the heat shield, an inner cover having an air vent assembly removably disposed below the baking assembly and extending toward the cover body, and a seal structure disposed between the air vent assembly and the air vent passage.

[0006] By equipping the cover with both the baking assembly and the inner cover, the cooking utensil can perform cooking by both baking and boiling. The inner cover is removably disposed below the baking assembly, so that when the cooking utensil is required to perform cooking by baking, the inner cover is removed and the baking assembly is used to bake food materials in the utensil body. When the cooking utensil is required to perform cooking by boiling, the inner cover is attached below the baking assembly to achieve conventional cooking. The sealing structure seals the gap between the ventilation assembly and the ventilation passage, preventing air from entering inside the cover, reducing the influence of humid air on the parts inside the cover, and ensuring the working reliability of the cover. The sealing structure can also sufficiently insulate the heat transfer between the baking assembly and the cover body, reducing the heat influence on the parts inside the cover body, protecting the cover body, and therefore improving the reliability of the function of the cover body.

[0007] Furthermore, the baking assembly includes a through hole communicating with the vent passage and through which the vent assembly passes, and the seal structure seals the gap between the cover body and the baking assembly. The seal structure can reduce air from entering between the baking assembly and the cover body, thereby reducing the effect of moisture on structural elements of the baking assembly and improving reliability of baking assembly function. The seal structure not only seals the gap between the baking assembly and the cover body, but also seals the gap between the vent assembly and the vent passage.

[0008] Furthermore, a seal structure is fixed between the cover body and the baking assembly, and the vent assembly passes through the seal structure and is tightly attached to the seal structure. With the seal structure fixed between the cover body and the baking assembly, a gap between the baking assembly and the cover body can be sealed, thereby preventing air from entering between the cover body and the baking assembly. Furthermore, the seal structure can also form a support for the cover body, and the baking assembly is securely connected to the cover body.

[0009] Furthermore, the cover body includes an outer cover and an inner liner disposed below the outer cover, and the seal structure seals a gap between the baking assembly and the outer cover or the inner liner. This arrangement can reduce air from entering the space within the cover body, thereby avoiding the influence of moisture on the components within the cover body and improving the reliability of the functions of the components within the cover body.

[0010] Furthermore, the vent assembly includes a mounting slot in which at least a portion of the seal structure is fixed, and the seal structure is removable together with the inner cover. Since the seal structure is removable together with the inner cover, when the cookware performs cooking by baking, the high temperature generated by the baking assembly will not affect the seal structure, thus improving the reliability of the function of the seal structure.

[0011] Additionally, the vent assembly includes a pressure limiting valve seat and a disable valve seat, and the seal structure may be an integral component or may include two separate seal rings for each valve seat.

[0012] Furthermore, the orthogonal projection of the heating element on the heat shield does not match the orthogonal projection of the seal structure on the heat shield, which may increase the time required for heat radiated by the heating element to be transferred to the seal structure, reducing the temperature transferred to the seal structure and extending the service life of the seal structure.

[0013] Furthermore, the seal structure is disposed above the heating element, which can reduce heat transfer and prevent the seal structure from being in direct contact with high temperatures, thus improving the reliability of the seal structure's function.

[0014] Further, the seal structure includes a body section secured between the cover body and the baking assembly, and a seal section extending from an inner periphery of the body section and closely fitted to the vent assembly. The body section is secured between the cover body and the baking assembly to seal a gap between the cover body and the baking assembly. The seal section is closely fitted to the vent assembly to seal a gap between the vent assembly and the cover body and / or the baking assembly.

[0015] The seal structure further includes a first bent section disposed on the upper portion of the body section and a second bent section disposed on the lower portion of the body section, the bending direction of the first bent section being opposite to the bending direction of the second bent section, the upper surface of the first bent section abutting the lower surface of the cover body, and the lower surface of the second bent section abutting the upper surface of the baking assembly. The upper surface of the first bent section abuts the lower surface of the cover body, so that the seal structure and the cover body are connected in a gap-free manner to achieve a seal. Thus, air is prevented from entering the gap between the cover body and the baking assembly through the gap between the seal structure and the cover body. The lower surface of the second bent section abuts the upper surface of the baking assembly, so that the seal structure and the baking assembly are connected in a gap-free manner to achieve a seal.

[0016] Additionally, the first bent section and the second bent section that bend towards the vent assembly are seal sections that are press-fitted to the vent assembly to prevent steam from entering the space between the cover body and the bake assembly. The seal sections can seal a gap between the cover body and the vent assembly to prevent air from flowing back into the space between the cover body and the bake assembly.

[0017] Further, the vent assembly includes a mounting flange, and the seal section includes an overlap flange extending toward the vent assembly, the overlap flange overlapping the mounting flange and being interference-fitted to the vent assembly. The attachment between the mounting flange and the overlap flange may make the connection between the seal structure and the vent assembly tighter, making it difficult to remove the seal structure from the vent assembly, and may also improve the sealing effect of the seal structure.

[0018] Furthermore, the heat shield includes multiple reflective shells stacked in sequence, and the seal structure seals the gaps between the multiple reflective shells. This arrangement can effectively cool the hot air, and when the hot air is transferred to the cover body, the heat will be reduced and will not affect the cover body. By providing a thermal barrier gap, the temperature transferred to the cover body can be reduced, improving the reliability of the function of the cover body.

[0019] Additionally, the seal structure has a cooperating section extending downwardly from a body portion of the seal structure to seal the gap between two adjacent reflective shells. This arrangement allows one seal structure to seal gaps between multiple components, thereby reducing the number of seal elements and the cost and difficulty of assembly.

[0020] Further, the cooperating section has a clamp section extending away from the vent assembly, at least one reflective shell extends into a slot formed between the clamp section and the body section, and the clamp section extends into a gap between two adjacent reflective shells and presses against the reflective shells to seal the gap between the two adjacent reflective shells. This arrangement reduces moisture from entering between the two reflective shells and avoids the effect of moisture on structural elements between the reflective shells.

[0021] In addition, the baking assembly further includes a support member by which the two adjacent reflective shells are connected, and an air barrier is formed between the two adjacent reflective shells due to the support member, which reduces heat transferred to the reflective shell close to the cover body and heat transferred to the cover body, so that the cover body can function reliably.

[0022] Furthermore, the support member has a position limiting hole for the pressure limiting valve seat and a position limiting hole for the disable valve seat, through which the pressure limiting valve and the disable valve pass, respectively. The position limiting hole for the pressure limiting valve seat has a first annular flange extending toward the pressure limiting valve seat, and the position limiting hole for the disable valve seat has a second annular flange extending toward the disable valve seat. The first annular flange and the second annular flange prevent the pressure limiting valve seat and the disable valve seat from rocking, thereby improving the reliability of the functions of the pressure limiting valve seat and the disable valve seat.

[0023] Further, the seal structure has a body portion and a plurality of position limiting feet extending from the body portion toward the cover body and cooperating with the cover body in a position limiting manner, the position limiting feet being disposed along a periphery of the seal structure, the position limiting feet being connected to the cover body to prevent the seal structure from disengaging from the cover body and to improve the firmness of the connection between the seal structure and the cover body.

[0024] Furthermore, the main body portion has an expansion hole for the pressure limiting valve seat and an expansion hole for the disable valve seat, the pressure limiting valve seat of the inner cover passes through the expansion hole for the pressure limiting valve seat and is connected to the pressure limiting valve, and the disable valve seat of the inner cover passes through the expansion hole for the disable valve seat and is connected to the disable valve. The seal structure seals the gap between the pressure limiting valve seat and the through hole, and also seals the gap between the disable valve seat and the through hole, reducing heat transferred to the cover body and preventing hot air from affecting the components in the cover body.

[0025] The body portion further includes a first circumferential abutment flange surrounding the pressure limiting valve seat expansion hole and a second circumferential abutment flange surrounding the disable-to-open valve seat expansion hole. The first circumferential abutment flange and the second circumferential abutment flange abut against the cover body, such that the seal structure reliably seals the through hole.

[0026] Furthermore, at least a portion of the first circumferential abutment flange extends along a boundary of the body portion, and / or at least a portion of the second circumferential abutment flange extends along a boundary of the body portion, and / or portions of the first and second circumferential abutment flanges that are adjacent to each other are spaced apart from each other to form a deformation gap therebetween, which also makes it difficult to remove the seal structure from the pressure limiting valve seat and the disable-open valve seat, improving the reliability of the seal structure.

[0027] Furthermore, the inner liner may include an abutment cylinder extending toward the outer cover and tightly secured to an abutment rib disposed on the outer cover to seal the gap between the outer cover and the inner liner. Preferably, the abutment rib also sealingly cooperates with the seal structure.

[0028] Additionally, the heat shield or cover body may include a sealing cylinder to seal the gap between the cover body and the baking assembly. These additional sealing elements may improve the air tightness between the parts.

[0032] Detailed Description of the Invention It should be noted that, where not inconsistent, the embodiments and aspects thereof in this application may be combined with each other.The present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and in conjunction with the embodiments.

[0033] It should be noted that unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used in this application have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this invention belongs.

[0034] In this application, unless otherwise specified, directional terms such as "upper", "lower", "top", "lower" and the like generally refer to the directions shown in the accompanying drawings, or to the vertical or upright direction of the part itself, or to the direction of gravity. Similarly, for ease of understanding and explanation, "inner" and "outer" refer to the inner and outer sides of the contours of the respective parts themselves. However, these directional terms are not used to limit the invention.

[0035] In order to solve the problem that the cover body of the existing cookware is greatly affected by temperature, the present invention provides a cookware.

[0036] As shown in Figs. 1 to 50, the cooking utensil includes a cover 10 and a body on which the cover 10 is disposed, and the cover 10 is capable of opening and closing the body. The utensil body includes a heating structure. The cover 10 includes a cover body 30, a toasting assembly 40, and an inner cover 50. The cover body 30 includes an air passage. The toasting assembly 40 is provided inside the cover body 30 and includes a heat shield 44 and a heating element 41 disposed below the heat shield 44. The inner cover 50 includes an air vent assembly 54 removably disposed below the toasting assembly 40 and extending toward the cover body 30. A seal structure 130 is provided between the air vent assembly 54 and the air passage.

[0037] Since the cover 10 includes both the baking assembly 40 and the inner cover 50, the cooking utensil can not only perform cooking by baking, but also perform cooking by boiling. The inner cover 50 is removably disposed below the baking assembly 40, so that when the cooking utensil is required to perform cooking by baking, the inner cover 50 is removed and the baking assembly 40 is used to bake the food material inside the utensil body. When the cooking utensil is required to perform pressure cooking, the inner cover 50 is attached below the baking assembly 40 to achieve conventional cooking. The seal structure 130 can sufficiently insulate the heat transfer between the baking assembly 40 and the cover body 30, reduce the thermal impact on the components inside the cover body 30, protect the cover body 30, and improve the reliability of the function of the cover body 30. Disposing the seal structure 130 above the bottom surface of the baking assembly 40 can reduce the heat radiated directly to the seal structure 130 by the heating element 41, thereby extending the service life of the seal structure 130.

[0038] The seal structure 130 is fixed between the cover body 30 and the baking assembly 40. The vent assembly 54 passes through the seal structure 130 and fits snugly into the seal structure 130. With the seal structure 130 fixed between the cover body 30 and the baking assembly 40, the gap between the baking assembly 40 and the cover body 30 can be sealed, thereby preventing air from entering the gap between the cover body and the baking assembly 40. Furthermore, the seal structure 130 can also provide a support for the cover body 30, such that the baking assembly 40 is securely connected to the cover body 30.

[0039] 14, the cover body 30 includes an outer cover 35 and an inner liner 36 disposed below the outer cover 35. The seal structure 130 seals the gap between the baking assembly 40 and the outer cover 35 or the inner liner 36. This arrangement can reduce air entering the space inside the cover body 30, thereby preventing moist air from affecting the components inside the cover body 30 and improving the reliability of the functions of the components inside the cover body 30.

[0040] Optionally, the seal structure 130 is a seal ring.

[0041] 3, the orthogonal projection of the heating element 41 on the heat shield 44 does not coincide with the orthogonal projection of the seal structure 130 on the heat shield 44. This arrangement may increase the time required for heat radiated by the heating element 41 to be transferred to the seal structure 130 and reduce the temperature transferred to the seal structure 130, thus extending the service life of the seal structure 130.

[0042] Specifically, the seal structure 130 is disposed above the heating element. This arrangement can prevent the heating element 41 from directly contacting the seal structure 130, thus reducing heat transfer and preventing high temperature direct contact with the seal structure 130. Thus, the reliability of the function of the seal structure 130 is improved.

[0043] As shown in FIG. 2, the heat shield 44 includes a plurality of reflective shells stacked in order, and the distance between two adjacent reflective shells is at least 6 mm. Limiting the distance between two adjacent reflective shells to 6 mm or more ensures that the hot air can be effectively cooled, and that when the hot air is transferred to the cover body 30, the heat is reduced and will not affect the cover body 30. Of course, in order to avoid increasing the volume of the cover 10, the distance between two abutting reflective shells should not be too large. It should be noted that in all the embodiments described in this application, the heat shield 44 includes two stacked reflective shells as an example. That is, in the embodiment of this application described below, the heat shield 44 includes a first reflective shell 441 and a second reflective shell 442.

[0044] It should be noted that the vent assembly 54 includes a pressure limiting valve seat 52 and a disable valve seat 53 . First embodiment 1-12, the baking assembly 40 further includes a support member 48 to which two adjacent reflective shells are connected. In this embodiment, the support member 48 forms an air barrier between the two adjacent reflective shells, reducing heat transferred to the reflective shell close to the cover body 30 and heat transferred to the cover body 30, so that the cover body 30 functions reliably.

[0045] As shown in FIG. 4, the vent assembly 54 includes a pressure limiting valve seat 52 and an unopenable valve seat 53. The support member 48 includes a position limiting hole 481 for the pressure limiting valve and a position limiting hole 482 for the unopenable valve seat, and the pressure limiting valve seat 52 and the unopenable valve seat 53 pass through the corresponding position limiting holes. The position limiting hole 481 for the pressure limiting valve seat has a first annular flange 483 extending toward the pressure limiting valve seat 52. The position limiting hole 482 for the unopenable valve seat has a second annular flange 484 extending toward the unopenable valve seat. In other words, the support member 48 is fitted to the pressure limiting valve seat 52 and the unopenable valve seat 53, and the first annular flange 483 and the second annular flange 484 prevent the pressure limiting valve seat 52 and the unopenable valve seat 53 from swinging, improving the reliability of the functions of the pressure limiting valve seat 52 and the unopenable valve seat 53. Additionally, first annular flange 483 and second annular flange 484 provide a tolerance for the fit between support member 48 and pressure limiting valve seat 52 and disable valve seat 53. Support member 48 may also reduce the effects of heat within firing assembly 40 on pressure limiting valve seat 52 and disable valve seat 53 and protect pressure limiting valve seat 52 and disable valve seat 53.

[0046] In this embodiment, the heat shield 44 has a through hole 444 through which the pressure limiting valve seat 52 and the disable-opening valve seat 53 pass, and the support member 48 is positioned at a position corresponding to the through hole 444 to facilitate the passage of the pressure limiting valve seat 52 and the disable-opening valve seat 53.

[0047] 8 to 10 , the seal structure 130 includes a body portion 132 and a plurality of position-limiting feet 131 extending from the body portion 132 toward the cover body 30 and cooperating with the cover body 30 in a position-limiting manner. The position-limiting feet 131 are provided along the periphery of the seal structure 130. The position-limiting feet 131 are connected to the cover body 30, for example, by being inserted into corresponding holes disposed on the inside of the cover body 30, to prevent the seal structure 130 from coming off the cover body 30 and improve the firmness of the connection between the seal structure 130 and the cover body 30.

[0048] 9 , the position limiting foot 131 has a connection section 137, a reinforcing section 138, and an extension section 139, which are connected in sequence. The connection section 137 is connected to the body portion 132. The outer diameter of the connection section 137 is smaller than the outer diameter of the reinforcing section 138. The reinforcing section 138 has a reduced diameter section, where the outer diameter gradually decreases toward the extension section 139. This arrangement increases the stiffness of the connection between the position limiting foot 131 and the cover body 30 and reduces the risk of separation between the position limiting foot 131 and the cover body 30.

[0049] 8 to 10, the main body portion 132 further includes an expansion hole 133 for the pressure limiting valve seat and an expansion hole 134 for the disable valve seat. The pressure limiting valve seat 52 of the inner cover 50 passes through the expansion hole 133 to connect to the pressure limiting valve 120. The disable valve seat 53 of the inner cover 50 passes through the expansion hole 134 to connect to the disable valve 190. The position limiting foot 131 protrudes from the main body portion 132. The seal structure 130 seals the gap between the pressure limiting valve seat 52 and the through hole 444 and the gap between the disable valve seat 53 and the through hole 444, reducing the heat transferred to the cover body 30 and preventing hot air from affecting the components in the cover body 30.

[0050] 8 to 10 , the body portion 132 has a first circumferential abutment flange 135 surrounding the enlarged hole 133 for the pressure limiting valve seat and a second circumferential abutment flange 136 surrounding the enlarged hole 134 for the disable-to-open valve seat. The first circumferential abutment flange 135 and the second circumferential abutment flange 136 abut against the cover body 30, so that the seal structure 130 reliably seals the through hole 444.

[0051] Specifically, the side of the body portion 132 that abuts against the baking assembly 40 is a flat surface to reduce the gap between the seal structure 130 and the baking assembly 40. Thus, heat flowing into the cover body 30 through the gap between the seal structure 130 and the baking assembly 40 is reduced, thereby reducing the thermal effects on the components inside the cover body 30, and as a result, the cover functions reliably.

[0052] 9 , at least a portion of the first circumferential abutment flange 135 extends along the boundary of the body portion 132. In other words, at least a portion of the first circumferential abutment flange 135 is disposed at the boundary of the body portion 132. The first circumferential abutment flange 135 may also prevent the pressure limiting valve seat 52 from rocking, improving the reliability of the function of the pressure limiting valve seat 52.

[0053] 9 , at least a portion of the second circumferential abutment flange 136 extends along the boundary of the body portion 132. In other words, at least a portion of the second circumferential abutment flange 136 is disposed at the boundary of the body portion 132. The second circumferential abutment flange 136 may also prevent the disablement valve seat 53 from rocking, improving the reliability of the function of the disablement valve seat 53.

[0054] 9, the portions of the first circumferential abutment flange 135 and the second circumferential abutment flange 136 that are adjacent to each other are spaced apart to form a deformation gap therebetween. The deformation gap enhances the universality of the seal structure 130 and provides a certain tolerance for the attachment between the pressure limiting valve seat 52 and the disablement valve seat 53. In addition, the deformation gap also makes it difficult for the seal structure 130 to be removed from the pressure limiting valve seat 52 and the disablement valve seat 53, thereby improving the reliability of the seal.

[0055] As shown in Fig. 10, the first circumferential abutment flange 135 has a bent edge. The bent edge of the first circumferential abutment flange 135 forms a certain buffer gap between the pressure limiting valve seat 52 and its surrounding components, prevents other components from colliding with the pressure limiting valve seat 52, and thus improves the functional reliability of the pressure limiting valve seat 52. At the same time, it can prevent other components from swinging.

[0056] In the particular embodiment shown in FIG. 9, the position limiting feet 131 extend from the first circumferential abutment flange 135 and / or the second circumferential abutment flange 136 toward the cover body 30 .

[0057] In the embodiment shown in FIG. 4, the inner cover 50 is removably connected to the baking assembly 40 by a set screw 80 so that the cookware can be switched between baking and pressure cooking. Second embodiment This embodiment differs from the first embodiment in that the support member 48 is not provided; the seal arrangement 130 also performs the function of the support member 48 .

[0058] 13, the seal structure 130 has a cooperating section 1321 extending downwardly from a body portion 132 of the seal structure 130 for sealing gaps between two adjacent reflective shells. This arrangement allows one seal structure 130 to seal gaps between multiple components, reducing the number of sealing elements and reducing the cost and difficulty of assembly.

[0059] As shown in FIG. 13, the cooperating section 1321 has a clamp section 1322 extending away from the vent assembly 54. At least one reflective shell extends into a slot formed between the clamp section 1322 and the body portion 132. The clamp section 1322 extends into the gap between two adjacent reflective shells and presses against the reflective shells to seal the gap between the two adjacent reflective shells. This arrangement reduces moist air entering between the two reflective shells and prevents the moist air from affecting structural elements disposed between the reflective shells. The clamp section 1322 replaces the separately provided support member 48, reducing the use and mounting of structural elements and making assembly of the cooking utensil easier and more convenient. Third embodiment This embodiment differs from the first embodiment in that the seal arrangement 130 can be removed together with the inner cover.

[0060] Specifically, the vent assembly 54 includes a mounting slot (not shown) into which at least a portion of the seal structure 130 is snap-fitted to remove the seal structure 130 together with the inner cover. This arrangement allows the inner cover 50 to be removed together with the seal structure 130 when the cookware is cooking by baking, reducing the effects of high temperatures on the baking assembly 40 and improving the reliability of the function of the seal structure. Fourth embodiment This embodiment differs from the first embodiment in that the particular configuration of the seal structure 130 is different.

[0061] 14 to 17, the seal structure 130 has a body section 201 fixed between the cover body 30 and the baking assembly 40, and a seal section 202 extending from an inner periphery of the body section 201 and press-fitted into the vent assembly 54. The body section 201 is fixed between the cover body 30 and the baking assembly 40 to seal a gap between the cover body 30 and the baking assembly 40. The seal section 202 press-fits into the vent assembly 54 to seal a gap between the vent assembly 54 and the cover body 30 and / or the baking assembly 40. Furthermore, the body section 201 can support the cover body 30 to some extent and reduce deformation of the cover body 30, so that the cover body 30 can be used reliably.

[0062] 14 to 17, the seal structure 130 has a body section 201, a first bending section disposed on the upper part of the body section 201, and a second bending section disposed on the lower part of the body section 201, and the bending direction of the first bending section is opposite to the bending direction of the second bending section. The upper surface of the first bending section abuts against the lower surface of the cover body 30. The lower surface of the second bending section abuts against the upper surface of the baking assembly 40. The upper surface of the first bending section abuts against the lower surface of the cover body 30, so that the seal structure 130 and the cover body 30 are sealed without a gap, and air cannot enter the gap between the cover body 30 and the baking assembly 40 by passing through the gap between the seal structure 130 and the cover body 30. The lower surface of the second bent section abuts against the upper surface of the baking assembly 40, so that the seal structure 130 and the baking assembly 40 are sealed without any gaps, and air cannot pass through the gap between the seal structure 130 and the baking assembly 40 and enter the gap between the cover body 30 and the baking assembly 40. Thus, the sealing of the cover 10 is improved, and the effect of air in the space within the baking assembly 40 and the cover body 30 can be reduced.

[0063] As shown in FIGS. 14 to 17 , the first and second bent sections that bend toward the vent assembly 54 are the seal section 202, which is press-fitted to the vent assembly 54 to prevent steam from entering the space between the cover body 30 and the bake assembly 40. The seal section 202 may seal the gap between the cover body 30 and the vent assembly 54 to prevent air from flowing back into the space between the cover body 30 and the bake assembly 40. The seal section 202 may also seal the gap between the bake assembly 40 and the safety valve to prevent air from flowing back into the bake assembly 40. Thus, the effect of moisture in the air on the components inside the bake assembly 40 is reduced, and the service life of the components inside the bake assembly 40 is extended.

[0064] 14, the bake assembly 40 includes a heat shield 44 and a heating element 41. The seal structure 130 is secured between the cover body 30 and the heat shield 44. This arrangement may reduce direct radiation of the heating element 41 to the seal structure 130, reduce the effect of high temperatures on the seal structure 130, and extend the service life of the seal structure 130.

[0065] In this embodiment, the heat shield 44 includes a first reflective shell 441 and a second reflective shell 442 that are connected to and spaced apart from each other.

[0066] It should be noted that in this embodiment, the heat shield 44 only has two reflective shells, namely a first reflective shell 441 and a second reflective shell 442 .

[0067] 17, the seal section 202 has an angled guide surface 203 that extends diagonally upward from the underside of the seal section 202 toward the vent assembly 54 to facilitate passage of the vent assembly 54. The angled guide surface 203 extends diagonally upward toward the vent assembly 54 to facilitate the vent assembly 54 extending upward through the seal structure 130 and provides an interference fit with the pressure limiting valve seat to improve sealing of the seal structure 130.

[0068] As shown in FIG. 15, the baking assembly 40 includes a first reflective shell 441 and a second reflective shell 442 connected to each other. The second reflective shell 442 is disposed below the first reflective shell 441. The first reflective shell 441 has a first through hole 446 for the vent assembly 54 to pass through. The second reflective shell 442 has a second through hole 448 for the vent assembly 54 to pass through. The second reflective shell 442 has a second sealing annular rib 449. The second sealing annular rib 449 extends upward from the boundary of the second through hole 448 and abuts against the first reflective shell 441 to achieve a seal therebetween and / or the location where the second sealing annular rib 449 abuts against the first reflective shell 441 is sealed by the sealing structure 130. With this arrangement, no further sealing structure elements need to be provided between the first reflective shell 441 and the second reflective shell 442, thereby reducing the number of structure elements. Furthermore, the structural elements used for sealing are generally plastic parts, which are easily damaged after exposure to high temperatures, resulting in an insufficient seal. With this arrangement, the gap between the first reflective shell 441 and the second reflective shell 442 can be reliably sealed and is not affected by high temperatures.

[0069] Of course, it is also possible that the first sealing annular rib extends from the first reflective shell 441 towards the second reflective shell 442. The first reflective shell 441 has a first sealing annular rib that extends downwards from the boundary of the first through hole 446 and abuts against the second reflective shell 442 to achieve a seal. The first sealing annular rib has the same function as the second sealing annular rib and will not be further described here.

[0070] As shown in FIG. 15, the cover body 30 includes an outer cover 35 having a vent hole 351 corresponding to the vent assembly 54, and an inner liner 36 disposed below the outer cover 35. The inner liner 36 has an abutment cylinder 361 extending toward the outer cover 35 and press-fitted with the outer cover 35 to prevent steam from entering the space between the outer cover 35 and the inner liner 36. By providing the abutment cylinder 361, the gap between the inner liner 36 and the outer cover 35 is sealed, preventing air from entering the gap between the inner liner 36 and the outer cover. The seal structure 130 is disposed between the inner liner 36 and the baking assembly 40, and seals the gap between the inner liner 36 and the baking assembly 40, and at the same time, seals the gap between the baking assembly 40 and the safety valve.

[0071] 16, the inner liner 36 has an annular support rib 362 extending toward the baking assembly 40. One of the first and second bent sections, which bend toward the vent assembly 54, is the abutment section 207. The abutment section 207 cooperates with the annular support rib 362 in an abutting manner in the radial direction of the abutment cylinder 361 to prevent the seal structure 130 from being mispositioned. By providing the annular support rib 362, the seal structure 130 is less susceptible to rocking after being installed for positioning, improving the sealing reliability of the seal structure 130. Fifth embodiment The fifth embodiment is similar to the fourth embodiment and differs from the fourth embodiment in that the seal structure 130 has a different structure.

[0072] 18 and 19 , the vent assembly 54 includes a mounting flange 541. The seal section 202 includes an overlap flange 204 that extends toward the vent assembly 54 and overlaps the mounting flange 541. The overlap flange 204 is interference-fitted to the vent assembly 54. The fit between the mounting flange 541 and the overlap flange 204 allows for a tighter connection between the seal structure 130 and the vent assembly 54, thus making it difficult for the seal structure 130 to be removed from the vent assembly, and may also improve the sealing effect of the seal structure 130. Sixth embodiment The sixth embodiment is similar to the fourth embodiment and differs from the fourth embodiment in that the second reflective shell 442 does not include the second sealing annular rib 449. Instead, the gap between the first reflective shell 441 and the second reflective shell 442 is sealed by the seal structure 130.

[0073] As shown in FIG. 20 and FIG. 21, the baking assembly 40 includes a first reflective shell 441 and a second reflective shell 442 connected to each other. The second reflective shell 442 is disposed below and spaced from the first reflective shell 441 to form a thermal barrier gap between the two. The first reflective shell 441 has a first through hole 446 for the vent assembly 54 to pass through. The second reflective shell 442 has a second through hole 448 for the vent assembly 54 to pass through. The seal structure 130 has a cooperating section 205 extending downward from the seal section 202 and sealingly cooperating with the boundary of the first through hole 446 and the boundary of the second through hole 448, so that the thermal barrier gap is sealed. With this arrangement, gaps between multiple components can be sealed with one seal structure 130, thereby reducing the number of sealing elements and therefore the cost and difficulty of assembly. The heating element 41 is disposed below the second reflective shell 442. The thermal barrier gap can reduce the temperature transmitted to the cover body 30, improving the functional reliability of the cover body 30.

[0074] As shown in FIG. 21 , the cooperating section 205 has a clamp section 206 that extends away from the vent assembly 54. The first reflective shell 441 extends into a slot formed between the clamp section 206 and the seal section 202. The lower surface of the clamp section 206 is pressed against the second reflective shell 442 to seal the gap between the first reflective shell 441 and the second reflective shell 442. The clamp section 206 extends between the first reflective shell 441 and the second reflective shell 442 and prevents air from entering the gap between the first reflective shell 441 and the second reflective shell 442. It should be noted that the clamp section 206 only extends a certain distance between the first reflective shell 441 and the second reflective shell 442 and will not seal the entire thermal barrier gap. Seventh embodiment The seventh embodiment is similar to the fourth embodiment, and differs therefrom in that the abutment rib 352 not only abuts against the abutment cylinder 361 but also cooperates sealingly with the seal arrangement 130.

[0075] 22 and 23, the abutment rib 352 is disposed at the border of the vent hole 351 of the outer cover 35 and extends toward the baking assembly 40. The abutment rib 352 extends to the seal section 202 and abuts against the seal section 202 to seal the gap between the cover body 30 and the baking assembly 40. In this application, the abutment rib 352 surrounds the vent hole 351 of the outer cover 35 and is cylindrical. Therefore, the gap between the cover body 30, the baking assembly 40, and the vent assembly 54 becomes smaller, and therefore the seal structure 130 is only required to seal the gap between the abutment rib 352 and the baking assembly 40. Eighth embodiment This embodiment differs from the first embodiment in that the bake assembly 40 or the cover body 30 has a sealing cylinder 230 that seals at least a portion of the cover body 30 or the bake assembly 40 by contact.

[0076] As shown in Figures 24 to 26, the cooking utensil includes a cover 10 and a body on which the cover 10 is disposed, and the body can be opened and closed. The cover 10 includes a cover body 30, a baking assembly 40, and an inner cover 50. The baking assembly 40 is provided inside the cover body 30. The inner cover 50 is removably disposed below the baking assembly 40 and has a vent assembly 54 extending toward the cover body 30. The baking assembly 40 or the cover body 30 has a seal cylinder 230 through which the vent assembly 54 passes. The seal cylinder 230 seals at least a portion of the cover body 30 or the baking assembly 40 by contact.

[0077] The sealing cylinder 230 is disposed on the baking assembly 40 or the cover body 30, and the gap between the baking assembly 40 and the cover body 30 can be sealed without the need to provide other sealing elements between the baking assembly 40 and the cover body 30. Thus, the number of sealing elements is reduced, and thus the difficulty of assembling the cookware and the assembly cost of the cookware are all reduced. Furthermore, with the sealing cylinder 230 disposed on the baking assembly 40 or the cover body 30, when the baking assembly 40 and the cover body 30 are assembled together, the position of the sealing cylinder 230 is fixed, and thus the gap between the baking assembly 40 and the cover body 30 can be reliably sealed, improving the sealing reliability of the cookware.

[0078] In a particular embodiment not shown, the cover body 30 includes an outer cover 35 and an inner liner 36. The outer cover 35 includes a seal cylinder 230 that extends toward the baking assembly 40 and is sealed with the baking assembly 40 by contact. With the seal cylinder 230 extending from the outer cover 35 toward the baking assembly 40, the gap between the outer cover 35 and the inner liner 36 at the vent assembly 54 is similarly sealed. Since multiple locations are sealed simultaneously with one seal cylinder 230, the number of seal elements is reduced while improving the reliability of the seal.

[0079] In a specific embodiment not shown, the toasting assembly 40 includes a heat shield 44 with a sealing cylinder 230 and a heating element 41. The heat shield 44 encases the heating element 41 to prevent the hot air generated by the heating element 41 from radiating toward the cover body 30. Thus, the high temperature effect on the cover body 30 is avoided, and the heat is reflected to the appliance body to quickly cook the food in the appliance body. With the provision of the heat shield 44 with the sealing cylinder 230, the gap between the toasting assembly 40 and the cover body 30 and the gap between the outer cover 35 and the inner liner 36 can both be sealed.

[0080] As shown in FIG. 24 to FIG. 26, the baking assembly 40 includes a first reflective shell 441 and a second reflective shell 442 connected to each other. Compared with the second reflective shell 442, the first reflective shell 441 is disposed further away from the inner cover 50. The seal cylinder 230 passes from the second reflective shell 442 through the first reflective shell 441 and then extends into the cover body 30. The heating element 41 is disposed below the second reflective shell 442. The second reflective shell 442 reflects the heat radiated by the heating element 41 toward the appliance body. To reduce the temperature transferred to the first reflective shell 441, a thermal barrier gap is formed between the first reflective shell 441 and the second reflective shell 442. In addition, the first reflective shell 441 can form an additional thermal barrier, reducing the temperature transferred to the cover body 30. The sealing cylinder 230 extends from the second reflective shell 442 toward the cover body 30, such that the sealing cylinder 230 can also further seal the gap between the first reflective shell 441 and the second reflective shell 442 near the vent assembly 54, preventing hot air from entering between the first reflective shell 441 and the second reflective shell 442.

[0081] Optionally, the seal cylinder 230 is formed from a thermally insulating material.

[0082] 26, the cover body 30 includes an outer cover 35 and an inner liner 36. The outer cover 35 or the inner liner 36 has a vent hole 351 facing the vent assembly 54. The abutment rib 352 is disposed at the boundary of the vent hole 351 and extends toward the baking assembly 40. The abutment rib 352 cooperates with the seal cylinder 230 in a manner of abutting in the radial direction of the seal cylinder 230. Such an arrangement can reduce the rocking of the seal cylinder 230, thus reducing problems caused by poor sealing.

[0083] 26, the abutment rib 352 presses against the inner wall of the seal cylinder 230 and / or the top surface of the seal cylinder 230 abuts against the outer cover 35 or inner liner 36. The first seal of the cover body 30 is achieved by pressing the abutment rib 352 against the inner wall of the seal cylinder 230 to prevent air from entering the inside of the cover body. The second seal of the cover body 30 is achieved between the top surface of the seal cylinder 230 and the outer cover 35, which significantly improves the seal between the firing assembly 40 and the cover body 30 and improves the reliability of the seal.

[0084] 26, the cover body 30 further includes an inner liner 36. The inner liner 36 has an abutment cylinder 361. The seal cylinder 230 extends into the abutment cylinder 361 and cooperates with the inner wall of the abutment cylinder 361 in a manner of abutting in the radial direction of the seal cylinder 230. Due to the cooperation between the abutment cylinder 361 and the seal cylinder 230, the rocking of the seal cylinder 230 can be reduced, thus improving the sealing reliability of the seal cylinder 230.

[0085] 26, the inner wall of the abutment cylinder 361 has a flange section 365 extending toward the sealing cylinder 230. The flange section 365 is positioned to press against the outer wall of the sealing cylinder 230 to form a first seal for the inner liner 36. The flange section 365 reduces air getting between the outer cover 35 and the inner liner 36, thereby preventing humid air from affecting the electrical components on the inner liner 36 and increasing the functional reliability and lifespan of the electrical components of the inner liner 36.

[0086] As shown in FIG. 26, the outer cover 35 has a sealing rib 354 that extends towards the inner liner 36. The abutment rib 352 and the sealing rib 354 form a slot. The sealing cylinder 230 is inserted into the slot and is an interference fit therewith, forming a first seal between the outer cover 35 and the heat shield 44. With this arrangement, a seal is achieved between the sealing cylinder 230 and both the abutment rib 352 and the sealing rib 354, reducing air entering the gap between the inner liner 36 and the outer cover 35 and improving the seal of the cookware.

[0087] As shown in FIG. 26, the cover body 30 includes an outer cover 35. The inner liner 36 is provided below the outer cover 35. The outer cover 35 has a vent hole 351 facing the vent assembly 54. The outer cover 35 has a seal rib 354 extending toward the inner liner 36. The seal rib 354 is disposed outside the seal cylinder 230 and abuts against the inner liner 36 to achieve at least a second seal of the inner liner 36. This arrangement improves the seal between the outer cover 35 and the inner liner 36 without providing a separate seal element, thereby reducing the difficulty of assembling the cookware.

[0088] As shown in FIG. 26, the upper portion of the abutment cylinder 361 bends radially outward and then extends vertically upward to form a radially stepped surface 366 on the inner wall of the abutment cylinder 361. The flange section 365 is disposed below the radially stepped surface 366. The free ends of the sealing ribs 354 abut against the radially stepped surface 366 to achieve a second seal of the inner liner 36. The portion of the inner wall of the abutment cylinder 361 disposed below the radially stepped surface 366 abuts against the outer wall of the sealing cylinder 230 to achieve a third seal of the inner liner. A triple seal is achieved between the inner liner 36 and the outer cover 35 and the sealing cylinder 230, thereby greatly reducing air getting between the inner liner 36 and the outer cover 35, and improving the seal between the inner liner 36 and the outer cover 35, so that the electrical components on the inner liner 36 function reliably.

[0089] 26 , the thickness of the sealing rib 354 gradually decreases toward the inner cover 50. The gradually decreasing thickness of the sealing rib 354 makes it easier for the sealing rib 354 to extend and be inserted into the gap between the sealing cylinder 230 and the inner liner 36, such that at least a portion of the sealing rib 354 is in an interference fit with the inner liner 36.

[0090] As shown in FIG. 26, the cover 10 further includes a seal structure 130. The seal structure 130 is attached to the vent assembly 54. The vent assembly 54 has a mounting flange 541. The seal structure 130 has a mounting annular slot 208 into which the mounting flange 541 is inserted. The seal structure 130 abuts against the second reflective shell 442 of the baking assembly 40 and seals the gap between the second reflective shell 442 and the vent assembly 54. The seal structure 130 is provided on the vent assembly 54 and can be removed together with the inner cover 50. By providing the seal structure 130, the gap between the pressure limiting valve seat and the baking assembly 40 can be sealed, reducing air entering the baking assembly 40 and thus limiting the effect of humid air on the components inside the baking assembly 40. By providing the mounting flange 541, the mounting position of the seal structure 130 can be defined, so that the seal structure 130 can be securely fitted to the pressure limiting valve seat. By having the seal structure 130 removable together with the inner cover 50 , high temperature baking of the seal structure 130 by the baking assembly 40 may be reduced, thus extending the service life of the seal structure 130 . Ninth embodiment This embodiment differs from the first embodiment in that in this embodiment, a seal is achieved between the outer cover and the inner liner.

[0091] As shown in Figures 27 to 29, the cooking utensil includes a cover 10 and a body on which the cover 10 is placed, and the body can be opened and closed. The cover 10 includes a cover body 30 and an inner cover 50. The cover body 30 includes an outer cover 35 and an inner liner 36. The outer cover 35 has an air hole 351. The inner liner 36 has an abutment cylinder 361 that extends toward the outer cover 35 and faces the air hole 351. The outer cover 35 has an annular sealing rib that extends toward the inner liner 36 and abuts against the abutment cylinder 361 in its radial direction, so that the joint between the inner liner 36 and the outer cover 35 is sealed by the annular sealing rib.

[0092] With the inner liner 36 provided with the abutment cylinder 361, the gap between the inner liner 36 and the outer cover 35 is sealed and prevents air from entering the gap between the inner liner 36 and the outer cover 35, thereby reducing the effect of air on the structural elements between the inner liner 36 and the outer cover 35 and improving their functional reliability. Furthermore, with the provision of the abutment cylinder 361, the sealing between the outer cover 35 and the inner liner 36 can be achieved without further separately mounting structural sealing elements, reducing the number of sealing elements and reducing the assembly cost and the assembly difficulty of the cookware. With the provision of the annular sealing rib, the inner liner 36 and the outer cover 35 cooperate with each other in an abutting manner, reducing the rocking between them and improving the sealing between them. It should be noted that the structural sealing elements are mostly plastic parts, which are prone to damage and malfunction when placed in a humid environment for a long time. Such a problem is solved by the abutment cylinder 361.

[0093] In the prior art, due to the particularity of the pressure-baking cooker, both the steam released during pressure cooking and the hot air during baking are discharged through the same passage, resulting in a short life of the silica gel. In the present invention, the self-sealing between the outer cover 35 and the inner liner 36 can reduce the use of the sealing silica gel, thereby improving the reliability of the seal and reducing the safety risk.

[0094] As shown in FIG. 29 , a slot 210 is disposed on the top of the abutment cylinder 361. The outer cover 35 has a seal element 220 that extends into the slot 210 and has an interference fit with the slot 210. An annular seal rib is used as the seal element 220. The annular seal rib is inserted into the slot 210 and has an interference fit with the slot 210. The annular seal rib is inserted into the slot 210 to improve the tightness of the connection between the annular seal rib and the abutment cylinder 361. The interference fit improves the seal between the outer cover 35 and the inner liner 36, and greatly reduces the ingress of humid air into the space between the inner liner 36 and the outer cover 35.

[0095] 27, the bake assembly 40 includes a heat shield 44 and a heating element 41. The seal structure 130 is secured between the cover body 30 and the heat shield 44. This arrangement may reduce direct radiation of the heating element 41 onto the seal structure 130, reduce the effect of high temperatures on the seal structure 130, and extend the service life of the seal structure 130.

[0096] In this embodiment, the heat shield 44 includes a first reflective shell 441 and a second reflective shell 442 connected to and spaced apart from each other.

[0097] 27, the inner cover 50 includes a vent assembly 54 extending toward the cover body 30 and facing the vent hole 351. The vent assembly 54 extends into the abutment cylinder 361. The vent assembly 54 includes at least one of a pressure limiting valve seat and a disable valve seat. With this arrangement, the abutment cylinder 361 limits the swinging of the vent assembly 54 and seals the gap between the inner liner 36 and the outer cover 35, improving the sealing reliability of the firing assembly 40.

[0098] 28, the seal structure 130 has a body section 201 secured between the cover body 30 and the baking assembly 40 and a seal section 202 extending from an inner periphery of the body section 201. The vent assembly 54 is closely attached to the seal section 202. The body section 201 is secured between the cover body 30 and the baking assembly 40 and seals the gap between the cover body 30 and the baking assembly 40, while the seal section 202 is closely attached to the vent assembly 54 and seals the gap between the vent assembly 54 and the cover body 30 and / or the baking assembly 40. In addition, the body section 201 further provides some support to the cover body 30, reducing deformation of the cover body 30 and enabling reliable function of the cover body 30.

[0099] The seal section 202 includes an angled guide surface 203 extending obliquely upward from a bottom surface of the seal section 202 toward the vent assembly 54 to facilitate passage of the vent assembly 54. The angled guide surface 203 extends obliquely upward toward the vent assembly 54 to facilitate passage of the vent assembly 54 through the seal structure 130, while extending upward to fit snugly against the pressure limiting valve, thereby improving the sealing effect of the seal structure 130.

[0100] 28, the seal structure 130 has a body section 201, a first bent section disposed on an upper portion of the body section 201, and a second bent section disposed on a lower portion of the body section 201, and the bending direction of the first bent section is opposite to the bending direction of the second bent section. The upper surface of the first bent section abuts the lower surface of the cover body 30. The lower surface of the second bent section abuts the upper surface of the baking assembly 40. The upper surface of the first bent section abuts the lower surface of the cover body 30, so that the seal structure 130 and the cover body 30 are sealed in a gap-free manner, thereby preventing air from entering the gap between the cover body 30 and the baking assembly 40 through any gap between the seal structure 130 and the cover body 30. The lower surface of the second bent section abuts against the upper surface of the baking assembly 40, such that the seal structure 130 and the baking assembly 40 are sealed in a gap-free manner to achieve a tight seal, thereby preventing air from entering the gap between the cover body 30 and the baking assembly 40 through any gap between the seal structure 130 and the baking assembly 40. Thus, the sealing of the cover 10 is improved, reducing the effect of air on the space within the baking assembly 40 and the cover body 30.

[0101] 28, the first and second bent sections that bend toward the vent assembly 54 are the seal section 202, which fits snugly around the vent assembly 54 to prevent steam from entering the space between the cover body 30 and the bake assembly 40. The seal section 202 may seal the gap between the cover body 30 and the vent assembly 54 to prevent air from flowing back into the space between the cover body 30 and the bake assembly 40. The seal section 202 may also seal the gap between the bake assembly 40 and the safety valve to prevent air from flowing back into the bake assembly 40, thereby reducing the effect of moisture in the air on the components in the bake assembly 40 and extending the service life of the components in the bake assembly 40.

[0102] 28, the inner liner 36 has an annular support rib 362 extending toward the baking assembly 40. The first and second bent sections, which bend away from the vent assembly 54, are abutment sections 207, which abut against the annular support rib 362 in the radial direction of the abutment cylinder 361 to prevent incorrect positioning of the seal structure 130. By providing the annular support rib 362, the seal structure 130 is less susceptible to rocking after it is installed in place, thereby improving the sealing reliability of the seal structure 130.

[0103] In a particular embodiment not shown in the figures, the lower part of the annular sealing rib has a slot 210. The inner liner 36 has a sealing element 220 that extends into the slot 210 and is press-fitted therein. At least a part of the abutment cylinder 361 is used as the sealing element 220. The upper part of the abutment cylinder 361 extends into the slot 210. The technical effect of having an annular sealing rib inserted into the slot 210 is similar to the technical effect of providing the slot 210 at the upper part of the abutment cylinder 361 and will not be described again here.

[0104] As shown in FIG. 29, the thickness of the annular seal rib decreases toward the inner cover 50 and has a main section 221 and a thin section 222. The main section 221 is interference-fitted into the slot 210. The thin section 222 abuts against the bottom surface of the slot 210 and is interference-fitted into the slot 210, so that the annular seal rib is sealed with the abutment cylinder 361. This arrangement can achieve multiple seals between the slot 210 and the seal ring rib, thereby significantly improving the seal between the inner liner 36 and the outer cover 35. The provision of the thin section 222 facilitates the insertion of the annular seal rib into the slot 210. The main section 221 is interference-fitted into the surface of the slot 210 close to the vent assembly 54 to form a first seal. The thin section 222 is interference-fitted into the bottom surface of the slot 210 to form a second seal. The main section 221 fits tightly against the surface of the slot 210 remote from the vent assembly 54 to form a third seal.

[0105] Specifically, the thickness A of the main section 221 is greater than the width B of the slot 210, and the difference between the thickness A and the width B is greater than 0.02 mm and not greater than 0.15 mm. While ensuring a good sealing effect between the main section 221 and the slot 210, this arrangement also facilitates the insertion of the main section 221 into the slot 210. Thus, the annular sealing rib can be interference-fitted into the bottom surface of the slot 210.

[0106] Specifically, the degree of interference between the thinned section 222 and the bottom surface of the slot 210 is not less than 0.02 mm and not more than 0.2 mm. This arrangement ensures a seal between the thinned section 222 and the slot 210 while not applying excessive force to the slot 210, thereby preventing the thinned section 222 from breaking due to excessive force applied and improving the reliability of the fixation between the thinned section 222 and the slot 210.

[0107] As shown in FIG. 28, the upper part of the abutment cylinder 361 includes a support section 363 extending laterally toward the center of the abutment cylinder 361 and a plurality of annular protruding ribs 364 that are concentric but have different radii. The annular protruding ribs 364 extend from the upper surface of the support section 363 toward the outer cover 35. A slot 210 is formed by the gap between two adjacent annular protruding ribs 364. This arrangement improves the seal between the inner liner 36 and the outer cover 35 and reduces air inflow between the inner liner 36 and the outer cover 35. By providing the support section 363 and a plurality of annular protruding ribs 364 that are concentric but have different radii, the thickness of the abutment cylinder 361 can be reduced, thus reducing the weight of the inner liner 36, resulting in a thinner and lighter cookware.

[0108] 29 , the annular sealing rib is offset from the boundary of the vent hole 351 to secure an abutment surface 353 against the abutment cylinder 361. At least a portion of the upper portion of the abutment cylinder 361 contacts the abutment surface 353. This arrangement may further improve the seal between the annular sealing rib and the abutment cylinder 361, further reducing air from entering between the inner liner 36 and the outer cover 35, and greatly improving the environmental reliability of the structural elements disposed between the inner liner 36 and the outer cover 35.

[0109] As shown in FIG. 27, the cover 10 further includes a baking assembly 40 and a seal structure 130. The vent assembly 54 passes through the baking assembly 40 and extends into the abutment cylinder 361. The seal structure 130 fits over the vent assembly 54 and is disposed between the baking assembly 40 and the inner liner 36 to seal the gap between the baking assembly 40 and the vent assembly 54. In this embodiment, the seal structure 130 is disposed between the baking assembly 40 and the inner liner 36 and presses against them to simultaneously seal the gap between the baking assembly 40 and the inner liner. This prevents air from flowing back between the inner liner 36 and the baking assembly 40, reduces the effect of moist air on the electrical components of the baking assembly 40, and improves the reliability of the function of the baking assembly 40. The seal structure 130 fits over the vent assembly 54 and abuts against the baking assembly 40, thereby preventing air from entering the interior of the baking assembly 40 through gaps between the vent assembly 54 and the baking assembly 40. The seal structure 130 allows gaps between multiple components to be sealed at multiple locations simultaneously without the need for other seal structures to be provided separately for each gap, thereby greatly improving the efficiency of the seal structure 130 and saving labor costs.

[0110] As shown in FIG. 27, the baking assembly 40 includes a first reflective shell 441 and a second reflective shell 442 connected to each other. The second reflective shell 442 is disposed below the first reflective shell 441. The first reflective shell 441 has a first through hole 446 for the vent assembly 54 to pass through. The first reflective shell 441 has a first sealing annular rib 447 extending downward from the periphery of the first through hole 446 and abutting the second reflective shell 442 to achieve a seal therebetween. By providing the first reflective shell 441 with the first sealing annular rib 447, a gap between the first reflective shell 441 and the second reflective shell 442 can be sealed, thereby preventing air from entering between the first reflective shell 441 and the second reflective shell 442. It should be noted that the first reflective shell 441 and the second reflective shell 442 are positioned away from each other so that a thermal barrier is formed between the two, and only the first sealing annular rib 447 seals the gap between the first reflective shell 441 and the second reflective shell 442 at the first through hole 446.

[0111] In another particular embodiment not shown, the second reflective shell 442 has a second through hole 448 for the passage of the vent assembly 54. The second reflective shell 442 has a second sealing annular rib 449. The second sealing annular rib 449 extends upward from the periphery of the second through hole 448 and abuts the first reflective shell 441 to achieve a seal therebetween. The effect of the second sealing annular rib 449 is similar to that of the first sealing annular rib 447 and will not be described again here.

[0112] As shown in FIG. 28, the baking assembly 40 includes a first reflective shell 441 and a second reflective shell 442 connected to each other. The first reflective shell 441 has a first through hole 446 for the vent assembly 54 to pass through. The first reflective shell 441 has a first sealing annular rib 447. The first sealing annular rib 447 extends downward from the periphery of the first through hole 446 and abuts the second reflective shell 442 to achieve a seal therebetween. The second reflective shell 442 has a second through hole 448 for the vent assembly 54 to pass through. The second reflective shell 442 has a second annular sealing rib extending downward from the periphery of the second through hole 448. A second annular sealing rib is provided facing downward so that the gap between the second reflective shell 442 and the baking surface of the baking assembly 40 can also be sealed, preventing the hot air within the baking assembly 40 from escaping, reducing leakage, and improving the efficiency and reliability of the baking assembly 40.

[0113] 28, the inner liner 36 has an annular support rib 362 that extends toward the baking assembly 40. Of the first and second bent sections, the section that bends toward the vent assembly 54 is the abutment section 207, which abuts against the annular support rib 362 in the radial direction of the abutment cylinder 361 to prevent misplacement of the seal structure 130. By providing the annular support rib 362, the seal structure 130 is less susceptible to rocking after it is installed in place, thereby improving the reliability of the seal structure 130. Tenth embodiment This embodiment differs from the first embodiment in that in this embodiment, a thermal barrier gap is formed between the seal structure 130 and the bottom of the vent assembly 54, and the seal structure 130 has a separate portion.

[0114] 30-50 , the pressure limiting valve seat 52 is provided on an upper surface of the inner cover 50. The inner cover 50 further includes a pressure limiting seal ring 100. A first thermal barrier gap is formed between a lower boundary of the pressure limiting seal ring 100 and a lower portion of the pressure limiting valve seat 52.

[0115] Since the pressure limiting seal ring 100 is provided on the pressure limiting valve seat 52 and is removable together with the inner cover 50, other structural elements will not affect the pressure limiting seal ring 100, and therefore it will be prevented from melting and deforming due to high-temperature firing. Therefore, the service life of the pressure limiting seal ring 100 is extended. The first thermal barrier gap is formed between the lower boundary of the pressure limiting seal ring 100 and the lower part of the pressure limiting valve seat 52, which reduces the transfer of heat under the inner cover 50 to the pressure limiting seal ring 100 and extends the service life of the pressure limiting seal ring 100.

[0116] Specifically, the first thermal barrier gap is greater than 10 mm. This arrangement can reduce the transfer of heat at the bottom of the inner cover 50 to the pressure limiting seal ring 100, and extend the service life of the pressure limiting seal ring 100.

[0117] 46, the pressure limiting seal ring 100 is provided at the center portion of the pressure limiting valve seat 52, or the distance between the pressure limiting seal ring 100 and the upper portion of the pressure limiting valve seat is smaller than the distance between the pressure limiting seal ring 100 and the lower portion of the pressure limiting valve seat 52. Thus, a first thermal barrier gap is formed between the pressure limiting seal ring 100 and the bottom portion of the pressure limiting valve seat 52, and the sealing of the hole to be sealed by the pressure limiting seal ring 100 is facilitated.

[0118] As shown in FIG. 45, the pressure limiting seal ring 100 includes a ring body 101 and a position limiting rib 102 protruding from the outer periphery of the ring body 101 toward the cover body 30. The inner and outer ring surfaces of the position limiting rib 102 extend upward from the ring body 101 and incline toward each other. The inner periphery of the ring body 101 is closer to the center of the pressure limiting seal ring 100 than the inner periphery of the position limiting rib 102. At least a part of the ring body 101 is inserted into the pressure limiting valve seat 52 and abuts against the pressure limiting valve seat 52 to prevent the pressure limiting seal ring 100 from falling off and improve the sealing reliability of the pressure limiting seal ring 100. By providing the position limiting rib 102, the installation of the pressure limiting seal ring 100 is made easier and more convenient. In addition, the position limiting rib 102 abuts against other structural elements, reducing the collision of other structural elements against the pressure limiting valve seat 52 and improving the safety of the pressure limiting valve seat 52. The inner ring surface of the position limiting rib 102 and the outer ring surface of the position limiting rib 102 are inclined upward and toward each other, which facilitates installation and removal of the pressure limiting seal ring 100. On the side facing the inner cover 50, the surface of the pressure limiting seal ring 100 is a flat surface and presses against at least a part of the pressure limiting valve seat, thereby improving the reliability of the seal between the pressure limiting seal ring 100 and the pressure limiting valve seat 52.

[0119] 46, the pressure limiting valve seat 52 includes a mounting slot in which the pressure limiting seal ring 100 is secured. This arrangement may improve the firmness of the connection between the pressure limiting seal ring 100 and the pressure limiting valve seat 52, such that the pressure limiting seal ring 100 may be removed together with the inner cover 50.

[0120] As shown in FIG. 34, FIG. 37, and FIG. 38, the opening disable valve seat 53 is disposed on the upper surface of the inner cover 50. The inner cover 50 further includes an opening disable seal ring 110. The opening disable seal ring 110 is disposed on the opening disable valve seat 53, and a second thermal barrier gap is formed between the lower boundary of the opening disable seal ring 110 and the lower end of the opening disable valve seat 53. The opening disable seal ring 110 is disposed on the opening disable valve seat 53, and can be removed together with the inner cover 50. This arrangement can prevent other structural elements from affecting the opening disable seal ring 110, thereby preventing the opening disable seal ring 110 from melting and deforming due to high-temperature firing, and extending the service life of the opening disable seal ring 110. A second thermal barrier gap is formed between the lower boundary of the disablement seal ring 110 and the lower part of the disablement valve seat 53, below the inner cover, reducing the transfer of heat to the disablement seal ring 110 and thus extending the service life of the disablement seal ring 110.

[0121] Specifically, the second heat shielding gap is greater than 10 mm. This arrangement can reduce the transfer of heat from the lower part of the inner cover 50 to the unopenable seal ring 110, and extend the service life of the unopenable seal ring 110.

[0122] 49, the distance between the disable sealing ring 110 and the upper part of the disable valve seat 53 is smaller than the distance between the disable sealing ring 110 and the lower part of the disable valve seat 53, or the disable sealing ring 110 can be provided on the upper part of the disable valve seat 53. In other words, the disable sealing ring 110 is disposed on the central upper part of the disable valve seat 53 or on the upper part of the disable valve seat 53. Thus, a second thermal barrier gap is formed between the disable sealing ring 110 and the lower part of the disable valve seat 53, which facilitates the sealing of the hole to be sealed by the disable sealing ring 110.

[0123] 48, the disablement seal ring 110 has a narrow section 111. Providing the narrow section 111 makes it more convenient to install the disablement seal ring 110. On the side facing the inner cover 50, the surface of the disablement seal ring 110 is a flat surface and is pressed against at least a part of the disablement valve seat 53, thereby reducing the risk that the disablement seal ring 110 is detached from the disablement valve seat 53.

[0124] In this embodiment, the disable-open seal ring 110 and the pressure limiting seal ring 100 are separate components, so the interaction between the two is relatively limited, but assembly is more complicated and it is not easy to get both in place at the same time.

[0125] Of course, the openability seal ring 110 and the pressure limiting seal ring 100 may be integrally formed (not shown) to reduce the number of steps required to install the openability seal ring 110 and the pressure limiting seal ring 100.

[0126] As shown in Figures 30 to 50, the cooking utensil includes a cover 10 and a body on which the cover 10 is disposed, and the cover 10 can open and close the body. The cover 10 includes a cover body 30, a baking assembly 40, and the above-mentioned inner cover 50. The cover body 30 includes a fan therein. The baking assembly 40 is disposed inside the cover body 30. The inner cover 50 is removably disposed below the baking assembly 40.

[0127] By providing both the baking assembly 40 and the inner cover 50 on the cooking appliance, the cooking appliance can perform cooking by both baking and high pressure cooking. The inner cover 50 is removably disposed below the baking assembly 40, so that when the cooking appliance is required to perform cooking by baking, the inner cover 50 is removed, so that the baking assembly 40 performs baking of foodstuffs within the appliance body. When the cooking appliance is required to perform high pressure cooking, the inner cover 50 is attached below the baking assembly 40, so that the inner cover 50 seals the high pressure air within the appliance body and pressure cooking of foodstuffs can be performed inside the appliance body. The pressure limiting valve seat 52 provides an attachment position for the pressure limiting valve 120. The pressure limiting seal ring 100 is provided on the pressure limiting valve seat 52 and can be removed together with the inner cover 50, which prevents the pressure limiting seal ring 100 from being heated by the baking assembly 40 and further melted and deformed by high temperature baking, thus extending the service life of the pressure limiting seal ring 100. A first thermal barrier gap is formed between the lower boundary of the pressure limiting seal ring 100 and the lower portion of the pressure limiting valve seat 52, which reduces the transfer of heat within the instrument body to the pressure limiting seal ring 100 and extends the service life of the pressure limiting seal ring 100. The fan within the cover body 30 can blow away the heat transferred to the cover body 30, reduce the temperature at the cover body 30, and improve the reliability of the components within the cover body 30.

[0128] It should be noted that in this application, the cover body 30 includes a first plug terminal 31, and the appliance body includes a second plug terminal cooperating with the first plug terminal 31. The first plug terminal 31 and the second plug terminal are connected together to supply power to the cover 10. This combined power supply approach may be more reliable in supplying power.

[0129] 35, the pressure limiting seal ring 100 of the inner cover 50 is securely attached to the pressure limiting valve mounting hole 33 of the cover body 30. The disable-open seal ring 110 of the inner cover 50 is securely attached to the disable-open valve mounting hole 34 of the cover body 30. The pressure limiting seal ring 100 passes through the bake assembly 40 to seal the pressure limiting valve mounting hole 33 of the cover body 30. The disable-open seal ring 110 passes through the bake assembly 40 to seal the disable-open valve mounting hole 34 of the cover body 30.

[0130] As shown in Fig. 35 and Fig. 36, the baking assembly 40 includes, from top to bottom, a heat shield 44, a heating element 41, and a number of fixing clamps 49, through which the heating element 41 is attached to the heat shield 44, through which the pressure limiting valve seat 52 of the inner cover 50 passes. The heating element 41 allows the pressure limiting valve seat 52 to bypass it. The heat shield 44 has a through hole 445 for the pressure limiting valve seat 52 to pass through. The baking assembly 40 bakes the food material in the appliance body by the heat generated by the heating element 41. The heat shield 44 blocks the heat generated by the baking assembly 40 and prevents the heat from being transferred to the cover body 30. By providing the through hole 445 for the pressure limiting valve seat, the pressure limiting valve seat 52 can extend through the heat shield 44 to the cover body 30. Multiple fixation clamps 49 secure the heating element 41 in multiple locations to improve the reliability of the connection between the heating element 41 and the heat shield 44.

[0131] In a particular embodiment not shown in the figures, instead of a fixing clamp, a protective net is placed in the baking assembly 40, by means of which the heating element 41 is connected to the heat shield 44. The contact area between the protective net and the heating element 41 is larger, and as a result the connection between the heating element 41 and the heat shield 44 is tighter.

[0132] 35 and 36, the cover 10 further includes a handle 140 and a steam cover 150 connected to the outer cover 35 of the cover body 30. At least a portion of the handle 140 is connected to the rotating bar 37 of the inner liner 36 to drive the rotating cover 170 to rotate, thereby opening and closing the cover 10 on the appliance body. The steam cover 150 is positioned away from the handle 140 and covers the pressure limiting valve 120 to prevent the pressure limiting valve 120 from coming off the pressure limiting valve seat 52.

[0133] In this application, the cover body 30 further includes insulating cotton 160 disposed between the inner liner 36 and the heat shield 44 to reduce the transfer of heat from the baking assembly 40 to the inner liner 36, thus improving the reliability of the cover body 30.

[0134] In this embodiment, the inner cover 50 can seal in high pressure air within the appliance body to perform pressure cooking of food ingredients within the appliance body.

[0135] Optionally, the cooking appliance is an electric pressure cooker. Of course, the cooking appliance can also be other electric appliances used for cooking food ingredients, such as an electric rice cooker.
