Pot body and cooking utensil

Technical Field

The invention relates to the technical field of household appliances, in particular to a pot body and a cooking utensil.

Background

Cooking appliances are used for processing food, including electric rice cookers, pressure cookers, and the like. Generally, a cooking appliance includes a pot body and a cover body, and the cover body is openably and closably disposed with respect to the pot body. When the cover body is covered on the pot body, a cooking space is formed between the cover body and the pot body, and the cooking space can be utilized for food processing.

Generally, a cover body and a pot body in an electric cooker are hinged through a spring, and the cover opening mode is that a cover opening button is pressed to enable the cover body to complete the cover opening action under the elastic force action of the spring. However, because the factors influencing the elasticity of the spring are too many and are not easy to determine, the elasticity of the spring is difficult to be matched with the weight of the cover body, if the elasticity is too large, the cover can be opened too violently, and even the rice cooker tends to be inclined backwards; if the elastic force is too small, the uncovering time is too long, or the cover cannot be completely uncovered.

In general, in order to avoid the above two situations, the spring adjustment is performed after the preliminary design is completed, so as to achieve the desired uncovering effect. However, the debugging has great contingency, the quality of products produced in different batches has great instability, and the stability of the uncovering effect of the electric cooker cannot be ensured.
