Wherein, the pot body 10 is used for holding food to be cooked, the pot cover 20 is pivotally arranged on the pot body 10, and a first torsion spring structure 30 is arranged between the pot body 10 and the pot cover 20. The movable cover 40 is disposed on the pot body 10, when the pot cover 20 is in the covering position, the movable cover 40 completely covers the first torsion spring structure 30 in the pot cover 20 and the pot body 10, and when the pot cover 20 is opened, the movable cover 40 can be driven to move by the opening action, so as to avoid the first torsion spring structure 30.

By applying the technical scheme of the embodiment, the pot body 10 is provided with the movable cover plate 40, and when the pot cover 20 is covered on the pot body 10, the movable cover plate 40 seals the first torsion spring structure 30 in the pot cover 20 and the pot body 10. When the pot cover 20 is opened, the movable cover 40 is driven to move by the opening action, so that the first torsion spring structure 30 is avoided. The structure makes the appearance of the pot body 10 unnecessary to be provided with the avoiding groove for avoiding the torsion spring, the appearance of the product is more attractive, and the movable cover plate 40 can avoid the torsion spring when the pot cover 20 is opened, so that interference between the structures can not occur. Therefore, the technical scheme of the embodiment solves the problems that the torsion spring of the cooking utensil in the prior art is exposed outside, so that the appearance of a product is influenced, and potential safety hazards exist during use.

Specifically, the movable cover 40 in the present embodiment is disposed on the pot body 10, and of course, in an embodiment not shown, the movable cover 40 may be disposed on the pot cover 20, or both the pot body 10 and the pot cover 20. The specific setting position of the movable cover 40 can be determined according to the actual working requirement.

As shown in fig. 4 and 5, in the technical solution of this embodiment, the upper end of the movable cover 40 is swingably disposed at the rear side of the pot body 10 and covers the outer side of the first torsion spring structure 30, the movable cover 40 has a covering position for covering the pot body 10 and an outward swinging position for swinging toward the outer side of the pot body 10, when the pot cover 20 is covered on the pot body 10, the movable cover 40 is in the covering position, and when the pot cover 20 is opened relative to the pot body 10, the movable cover 40 moves from the covering position to the outward swinging position so as to avoid the first torsion spring structure 30. In this embodiment, the movable cover 40 covers and avoids the first torsion spring structure 30 in a swinging manner, specifically, when the pot cover 20 is covered on the pot body 10, the movable cover 40 is closely attached to the outer wall of the pot body 10, so that the movable cover 40 is overlapped with the outer surface of the pot body 10. When the lid 20 is opened, the upper end of the first torsion spring structure 30 is curved, so that interference with the movable cover 40 occurs when the upper rotating arm of the first torsion spring structure 30 is twisted, and when the lid is opened, the movable cover swings to the outward swing position, thereby avoiding the first torsion spring structure.

Of course, the moving manner of the movable cover 40 is not limited to the above-mentioned moving manner, and other manners may be adopted, for example, the movable cover 40 may cover and avoid the first torsion spring structure 30 in a manner of horizontally translating toward the outer side of the pot body 10. Or the movable cover 40 covers and avoids the first torsion spring structure 30 in a combined manner of swinging and horizontal movement. The specific manner of movement of the flap 40 can be designed by those skilled in the art according to actual needs.

As shown in fig. 4, in the technical solution of the present embodiment, the pot cover 20 is pivotally fixed on the pot body 10 through a rotation shaft, the first torsion spring structure 30 has a torsion portion sleeved on the rotation shaft, a rotating arm 31 extending from one end of the torsion portion to support the pot cover 20, and a fixing arm extending from the other end of the torsion portion to support the pot body 10, and during the process of opening the cover, the rotating arm 31 opens the pot cover 20 backward and pushes the movable cover 40 to turn backward.

As shown in fig. 3 to 5, in the technical solution of the present embodiment, the lower end of the movable cover 40 is pivotally disposed on the pot body 10, the movable cover 40 includes a cover body and a stacking section 41 disposed at the upper end of the cover body and located inside the pot cover 20, and during the process of covering the pot cover 20 on the pot body 10, the side wall of the pot cover 20 abuts against the stacking section 41 and drives the movable cover 40 to move from the outward swinging position to the covering position. Specifically, when the lid 20 is closed to the pot body 10, the inner sidewall of the lid 20 and the stacking section 41 abut to swing the movable lid 40 outwardly. When the cover 20 is closed with the pot body 10 from the open position, the inner side wall of the lower end of the cover 20 is contacted with the overlapping section 41, the cover 20 is continuously closed, and the movable cover 40 is driven by the cover 20 to move from the open position to the closed position.

As shown in fig. 3 and 4, in the technical solution of this embodiment, a step surface is formed between the cover plate body and the stacking section 41, and when the pot cover 20 is covered on the pot body 10, the lower end surface of the side wall of the pot cover 20 is located above the step surface. Specifically, the above structure makes the outer sidewall of the pot cover and the movable cover 40 form a plane or smooth curved surface when the pot cover 20 is covered on the pot body, thereby making the product more beautiful.

As shown in fig. 4, in the technical solution of this embodiment, when the movable cover 40 is in the covering position, the outer surface of the movable cover 40 is flush with the outer sidewall of the rear side of the pot cover 20. The above structure makes the outer side wall of the pot cover and the movable cover 40 form a plane or smooth curved surface when the pot cover 20 is covered on the pot body, thereby making the product more beautiful.

As shown in fig. 5, in the technical solution of the present embodiment, the cooking apparatus further includes a reset element 50 disposed between the pan body 10 and the movable cover 40, and the reset element 50 drives the movable cover 40 to move from the closed position to the outwardly swung position. Specifically, the reset member 50 is a second torsion spring structure. One torsion arm of the second torsion spring structure is abutted with the pot body 10, and the other torsion arm is abutted with the movable cover plate 40. The second torsion spring structure provides an elastic force and moves the flap 40 from the closed position toward the open position. In particular, as can be seen in fig. 5, the torsion arm of the second torsion spring structure in this embodiment is not connected to the flap 40, i.e., the torsion arm of the second torsion spring structure is separated from the flap 40 when the flap 40 moves to the open position. The movable cover 40 is kept in an inclined posture under the action of gravity. Of course, the torsion arm of the second torsion spring structure may be fixed to the flap 40, so that the flap 40 is more stably maintained in the swing position. As can be seen in fig. 4, when the flap 40 is in the closed position, the second torsion spring structure applies an elastic force toward the inner surface of the flap 40, and the upper end of the flap 40 is positioned by the inner wall of the lid 20 through the overlap section 41. When the pot cover 20 is opened, the overlapping section 41 of the movable cover 40 loses the positioning of the pot cover 20, and at this time, the movable cover 40 moves to the swing-open position by the elastic force of the second torsion spring structure.

Of course, the restoring member 50 is not limited to the second torsion spring structure, and the restoring member 50 may have other elastic structures, such as a spring structure or a spring plate structure. The specific construction of the reset element 50 is not required and can be selected by those skilled in the art according to the actual working requirements.

As shown in fig. 2 and 3, in the technical solution of the present embodiment, the pan body 10 includes a middle plate 11, and the movable cover 40 is pivotally disposed on the middle plate 11. Wherein, the middle plate 11 is provided with a mounting hole 111, two sides of the movable cover plate 40 are provided with rotating shafts 42, and the rotating shafts 42 penetrate through the mounting hole 111 to enable the movable cover plate 40 to rotate relative to the middle plate 11. Specifically, the rotating shaft 42 is disposed below the movable cover 40, that is, the lower end of the movable cover 40 is pivotally disposed on the middle plate 11, and the upper end of the movable cover 40 can swing away from the middle plate 11.

As shown in fig. 3, in the technical solution of the present embodiment, a limiting rib 43 is disposed on a surface of the movable cover 40 facing the middle plate 11, and the limiting rib 43 extends toward the middle plate 11. Specifically, the limiting ribs 43 cooperate with the surface of the middle plate 11, so that when the movable cover 40 is in the covering position, the limiting ribs 43 ensure that the movable cover 40 is in the vertical position.

Preferably, the cooking appliance in the present embodiment is an electric pressure cooker.

The above description is only of the preferred embodiments of the present application and is not intended to limit the present application, but various modifications and variations can be made to the present application by those skilled in the art.
