Generally, a cooking appliance such as an electric rice cooker includes a pot body and a cover 100 (fig. 1). The pot body is substantially in a rounded rectangular parallelepiped shape and has a cylindrical inner pot accommodating portion. The inner pot can be fixedly arranged at the inner pot containing part, or can be freely put into the inner pot containing part or taken out from the inner pot containing part, so that the inner pot can be conveniently cleaned. The inner pot is generally made of a metal material and has a circular opening on an upper surface for containing a material to be heated, such as rice, soup, etc. The cooker body comprises a heating device for heating the inner pot so as to heat the inner pot. It can be understood that according to the utility model discloses a cooking utensil can be electric rice cooker, electric pressure cooker or other cooking utensil, and cooking utensil except having the function of cooking rice, can also have various functions such as cooking congee.

The lid body 100 has a shape substantially corresponding to the pot body, substantially in the shape of a rounded rectangular parallelepiped, is pivoted to the pot body by a pivot shaft, and can be freely pivoted about the pivot shaft between a closed position and an open position with respect to the pot body to facilitate closing and opening of the pot body. When the cover 100 is closed on the cooker body, it covers the inner pot, and a cooking space is formed between the inner pot and the cover. The lid body 100 also typically has a sealing ring, which may be made of, for example, a rubber material, disposed between the lid body 100 and the inner pot for sealing the cooking space when the lid body 100 is in a closed state.

The cover 100 of the present invention will be described with reference to fig. 1 to 5.

As shown in fig. 1, the cover 100 may include an inner liner 110, a removable cover assembly 120 on the lower or inner side of the inner liner 110, and a cover 130 on the upper or outer side of the inner liner 110. The removable cover assembly 120 is detachably mounted to the lower side of the inner liner 110, and the face cover 130 is mounted to the inner liner 110 and covers the inner liner 110 from above. Removable cover assembly 120 may include a removable cover, a removable cover base coupled to the removable cover, and a gasket disposed on an underside of the removable cover.

The rear end of the inner liner 110 may be provided with an insertion groove, and the rear end of the detachable cap assembly 120 may be provided with an insertion part, into which the insertion part may be inserted. The front end of removable cover assembly 120 may snap onto the front end of liner 110. Thus, the removable cover assembly 120 may be removably mounted to the liner 110.

It should be noted that directional terms used herein in describing the components in the cover body 100 and their positional relationships, such as "upper", "lower", "above", "below", "lower", "upward", "downward", etc., are relative to the cooking appliance placed in a horizontal state and in a closed position of the cover body 100. The directional terms "front" and "rear," if not otherwise defined, are understood to refer to, for example, "front" referring to the end of the cover 100 that is closer to the user when in the closed position, and "rear" referring to the end of the cover 100 that is further from the user when in the closed position. The directional terms "front" and "rear", if not otherwise defined, it is understood that, for example, "left side" refers to the side of the left hand when the user uses the cooking appliance, and "right side" refers to the side of the right hand when the user uses the cooking appliance.

Specifically, as shown in fig. 2, the cover body 100 may further include a latch member 140, and the latch member 140 may be slidably disposed at the front end of the liner 110, in other words, the latch member 140 may be slidable with respect to the liner 110. The front end of the detachable cover assembly 120 may be provided with a catching portion 121, and the catching portion 121 extends forward in the front-rear direction. The latch 121 protrudes from the outer periphery of the removable cover assembly 120. The latch member 140 slides in the left-right direction between a locking position, which is latched with the latch portion 121, and an unlocking position, which is separated from the latch portion 121, to lock or unlock the detachable cover assembly 120.

Herein, the "front-rear direction" refers to a direction of the cover body 100 extending between the front end and the rear end. The "left-right direction" is a direction of the cover body 100 extending between the left and rear sides.

When the locking member 140 slides to the locking position, the locking member 140 can be engaged with the locking portion 121, thereby locking the removable cover assembly 120 to the liner 110. When latch members 140 are slid to the unlocked position, latch members 140 can disengage from catches 121, thereby locking removable lid assembly 120 to liner 110.

Therefore, the buckling part 121 and the locking part 140 can form a matched left-right sliding unlocking structure, so that the detachable cover assembly 120 can be detached from the inner liner 110 in a left-right sliding unlocking mode. Since the locking member 140 slides in the left-right direction, the dimension of the cover body 100 in the longitudinal direction can be reduced, and the cost of the cover body 100 can be reduced. Accordingly, the size of the pot body in the length direction is also reduced, so that the cost of the cooking appliance can be reduced. Specifically, for example, in the conventional up-down sliding mode, the sliding fit gap is located in the front-back direction, while in the left-right sliding mode of the present embodiment, the sliding fit gap is located in the left-right direction, and the dimension of the cover body 100 in the length direction can be reduced by changing the sliding direction (the direction indicated by the arrow) to the left-right direction. The left-right slide unlocking structure of the present embodiment can reduce the dimension of the lid body 100 in the longitudinal direction by 20mm to 30mm, for example, 20mm, 24mm, 26mm, and 30 mm.

And the locking member 140 can be closer to the detachable cover assembly 120, thereby facilitating the sliding operation of the user, and improving the user experience.

The left-right direction may be perpendicular to the front-rear direction, in other words, the sliding direction is a direction perpendicular to the front-rear direction. With this embodiment, the dimension of the cover body 100 in the length direction can be further reduced.

In the illustrated embodiment, the locking member 140 is located on the right side of the locking portion 121. Removable cover assembly 120 may be slid rightward to unlock. Of course, the latch member 140 can be located to the left of the catch 121 if needed and/or desired. Removable cover assembly 120 may be slid left unlocked.

The length direction of the locker member 140 overlaps or is parallel to the left and right direction. The adjustment of the arrangement direction of the locking members 140 can correspondingly reduce the structural space occupied by the locking members 140 along the length direction of the cover body 100, thereby further reducing the dimension of the cover body 100 along the length direction. The shape of the locking member 140 is shown as a long strip. Of course, the shape of the latch member 140 may be other suitable shapes.

As shown in fig. 3, the liner 110 may be provided with a receiving groove 111 having an opening through which the catching portion 121 is received in the receiving groove 111. When the removable cover assembly 120 is removed, the latch 121 may move in a direction away from the liner 110 through the opening. The locking member 140 is retained in the receiving groove 111. The locking portion 121 and the locking member 140 of the present embodiment are positioned in one receiving groove 111, thereby facilitating the locking of the two. The receiving groove 111 is elongated with a bottom wall 112, and the dimension of the receiving groove 111 in the front-rear direction substantially matches the dimension of the receiving groove 111 in the front-rear direction. The receiving groove 111 does not unnecessarily occupy a space in the longitudinal direction of the cover body 100.

The receiving groove 111 is disposed on a center line of the inner liner 110 in a length direction of the inner liner 110. It is understood herein that the lengthwise direction of the liner 110 is substantially the same as the lengthwise direction of the cover body 100.

A first end of the latch member 140 along a length of the latch member 140 may be provided with a biasing element 150, the biasing element 150 abutting the liner 110 to bias the latch member 140 toward the locked position. The biasing element 150 always provides a biasing force that biases the latch member 140 toward the locking position so that the latch member 140 can be held at the locking position, and the latch member 140 can be automatically returned to the locking position after sliding. The biasing element 150 may be compressed so that the latch member 140 can slide to the unlocked position.

The protrusion 142 is located between the blocking portion 114 and the biasing element 150, and when the locking member 140 slides to the locking position, the protrusion 142 can be blocked by the blocking portion 114, thereby limiting the locking member 140 from further sliding. The protrusion 142 is blocked by the blocking portion 114 so that the locker member 140 can be just slid to the locking position. The blocking portion 114 may be a rib that spans the receiving slot 111.

Further, the protrusion 142 may have a downward sliding surface F1, and the sliding surface F1 may be a flat surface. The slide surface F1 is always in abutment with the upper surface of the stopper 114 during the sliding of the locking member 140. The locking member 140 is caught between the blocking portion 114 and the bottom wall 112 of the receiving groove 111 to limit vertical movement of the locking member 140. The projection 142 also has an operating portion 143. The operating portion 143 may extend downward from the slide surface F1 and protrude and be exposed to the outside from the stopper portion 114. The user can slide the latch member 140 by touching the operating portion 143 with his hand.

Further, the liner 110 is provided with a stopper plate 115 at one side of the stopper 114, the stopper plate 115 has an aperture 116, the protrusion 142 may be exposed through the aperture 116, the protrusion 142 may be stopped in the aperture 116 in the front-rear direction, and the protrusion 142 may slide along the aperture 116.

The side of the locker member 140 opposite to the step surface F2 is provided with an inclined first guide surface F4. The side of the locking portion 121 opposite to the engagement surface F3 is provided with an inclined second guide surface F5. When the removable cover assembly 120 is installed, pressing the removable cover assembly 120 toward the inner liner 110 causes the second guide surface F5 to abut against and slide relative to the first guide surface F4 to move the locking member 140 to the right, and when the removable cover assembly 120 is in the installed position, the locking member 140 slides to the locking position due to the biasing force, thereby locking the removable cover assembly 120.

Alternatively, the locker member 140 may include upper and lower plates 145 and 146, and first and second ends of the upper and lower plates 145 and 146 in a length direction of the locker member 140 are connected. The projection 142 is provided on the lower plate 146. A step 144 is provided at the junction of the upper and lower side plates. The upper plate 145 is provided with upwardly extending abutment feet 147. The abutting pins 147 may abut against the liner 110, and specifically against the bottom wall 112 of the receiving groove 111. In this embodiment, the locking member 140 can be captured between the bottom wall 112 and the stop 114.

The latch member 140 may further have a bent boss 148, the lower plate 146 is bent to form a boss 148, and the boss 148 is disposed between the fastening end and the protrusion 142 to enhance the structural strength.
