A steam valve assembly 100 according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to fig. 1 to 2.

As shown in fig. 1 and 2, the steam valve assembly 100 mainly includes a steam valve upper cover 110, a steam valve lower cover 120, and a steam valve cover 130, and a decoration 140. The steam valve lower cover 120 is disposed below the steam valve upper cover 110, and is mounted to the steam valve upper cover 110. For example, the steam valve upper cover 110 and the steam valve lower cover 120 may be fastened together by screwing. The steam valve upper cover 110 is provided at the top thereof with a steam outlet 114, and the steam valve lower cover 120 is provided at the bottom thereof with a steam outlet (not shown) communicating with the steam outlet 114, so that steam in the cooking space can enter the steam valve assembly 100 through the steam outlet and be discharged to the external atmosphere through the steam outlet 114. The steam valve cover 130 is disposed above the steam valve upper cover 110 and is located at a circumferential outer side of the steam discharge port 114. The outer surface of the steam valve upper cover 110 may be provided with a grain for decoration. The steam valve cover 130 may be made of a transparent resin material so that a user can observe the grain through the steam valve cover 130, making the cooking appliance more beautiful. The decoration 140 is sleeved on the outer sides of the steam valve upper cover 110 and the steam valve cover 130 to play a decoration role. It should be noted that, in the present invention, the directional terms "upper", "lower", "outer" and "inner" are based on the direction determined by the cooking appliance which is placed upright and the lid is in the closed state.

The peripheral wall of the steam valve upper cover 110 is provided with a first opening 111 and a second opening 112 located below the first opening 111. The steam valve cover 130 is provided with a first snap 131, and the first snap 131 is used for snapping to the first opening 111 to mount the steam valve cover 130 to the steam valve upper cover 110. The decoration 140 is provided with a second snap 141, and the second snap 141 is used for being snapped to the second opening 112 to mount the decoration 140 to the steam valve upper cover 110.

The utility model discloses in, in the assembly process of steam valve subassembly 100, install steam valve upper cover 110 and steam valve lower cover 120 together earlier, then install steam valve bonnet 130 to steam valve upper cover 110 again, install decoration 140 to steam valve upper cover 110 again at last. Since both the steam valve cover 130 and the decoration 140 are mounted on the steam valve upper cover 110, in order to prevent the steam valve cover 130 and the decoration 140 from being mounted in a misaligned state, the size of the second latch 141 in the horizontal direction is larger than the size of the first opening 111 in the horizontal direction, and the size of the second latch 141 in the vertical direction is larger than the size of the first opening 111 in the vertical direction, so that when the decoration 140 is mounted, the second latch 141 is not latched into the first opening 111, so that the decoration 140 can be prevented from being mounted in a misaligned state.

Specifically, the first opening 111 and the second opening 112 may each be configured as an elongated through hole, and the first opening 111 and the second opening 112 may each extend in the circumferential direction. Fig. 2 shows an exemplary configuration of the first opening 111 and the second opening 112 as substantially rectangular through-holes extending in a horizontal direction. Correspondingly, the first catch 131 and the second catch 141 may each be configured as an elongated protrusion, and the first catch 131 and the second catch 141 may each extend in a horizontal direction.

The steam valve upper cover 110 is provided with a first sidewall 113 extending in the circumferential direction. The first sidewall 113 may be configured as a circular wall-like structure extending around the vertical direction. The first opening 111 and the second opening 112 may be disposed on the first sidewall 113, and the first opening 111 may be disposed directly above the second opening 112. In the present embodiment, the first sidewall 113 is provided with a plurality of first openings 111 and a plurality of second openings 112, and the plurality of first openings 111 and the plurality of second openings 112 are respectively provided at intervals along the circumferential direction of the first sidewall 113. It will be understood by those skilled in the art that the structures and positions of the first and

second openings

111 and 112 are not limited to the present embodiment.

As shown in fig. 2, the steam valve cover 130 may include a second sidewall 132 extending in a circumferential direction. The second sidewall 132 is disposed inside the first sidewall 113, and may be configured as a circular wall-like structure extending around the vertical direction. The first catch 131 is disposed at the bottom outside of the second sidewall 132. Trim piece 140 includes a third sidewall 142 that extends in a circumferential direction. The third sidewall 142 is disposed at an outer side of the first and

second sidewalls

113 and 132, and may be configured as a circular wall-like structure extending around a vertical direction. The second catch 141 is disposed inside the bottom of the third sidewall 142. Those skilled in the art will appreciate that the structure and position of the first catch 131 are not limited to the present embodiment.

The steam valve upper cover 110 may also be provided with an extension wall 115. The extension wall 115 may be configured to extend obliquely upward from the inner side of the first sidewall 113, i.e., the extension wall 115 may be configured substantially as a truncated cone structure.
