A stop wall 152 may be provided on the mounting portion bottom wall 116, connected to the mounting portion side wall 117. In other words, the stopper wall 152 can extend upward from the mounting portion bottom wall 116 and extend to the mounting portion side wall 117 in the horizontal direction.

With the embodiment, on one hand, the strength of the limiting structure can be enhanced to be stable and reliable, and the limiting structure can be simplified, so that the middle plate 112 can be conveniently produced and manufactured; on the other hand, the deformation of the mounting part side wall 117 can be reduced, the gap between the mounting part side wall 117 and the cover opening button 140 is reduced or avoided as much as possible, and the risk that the cover opening button 140 is blocked or stuck is weakened.

In the illustrated embodiment, the stopper wall 152 may extend in a direction perpendicular to the pivot axis of the lid release button 140, which may improve the stopper effect of the lid release button 140 and further reduce the deformation of the mounting portion side wall 117. The stopper walls 152 may be provided at both sides of the elastic member 151 at intervals so that the lid opening button 140 can be stopped and supported by the stopper walls 152 when the lid opening button 140 is pressed, thereby ensuring a more stable lid opening process; and the position of the elastic member 151 can be restricted by the restricting wall 152 so that the elastic member 151 can be smoothly deformed, thereby making the opening process more smooth.

The lid release button 140 may include a button sidewall 142. The button sidewall 142 extends between both ends through which the pivot axis of the cap release button 140 passes. The button side wall 142 is farther from the center of the pot body 110 with respect to the pivot axis of the open button 140, in other words, the button side wall 142 is located outside the pivot axis of the open button 140 with respect to the center of the pot body 110 and can correspond to the mount side wall 117. In this embodiment, the button side wall 142 and the stopper wall 152 may abut (fig. 2) so as to achieve the stopper of the cap release button 140 in the vertical direction.

At least one of the button mounting part 114 and the door release button 140 is provided with a shielding wall 153 extending in the vertical direction. The blocking wall 153 is closer to the center of the pot body 110 with respect to the elastic member 151, in other words, the blocking wall 153 is located inside the elastic member 151 with respect to the center of the pot body 110 for blocking the elastic member 151. A projection of the elastic member 151 on the vertical plane may be located within a projection of the blocking wall 153 in the vertical direction, so that the elastic member 151 is not exposed. Therefore, the user can be prevented from seeing the elastic element 151 after opening the cover 120, and the user experience is improved. Of course, the blocking wall 153 can also restrict the position of the elastic member 151, enabling the elastic member 151 to be smoothly deformed, thereby making the opening process more smooth.

One of the button mounting part 114 and the open cover button 140 may be provided with a shielding wall 153, and the shielding wall 153 may be close to or may abut against the other of the button mounting part 114 and the open cover button 140 in the vertical direction.

The shielding wall 153 extends from above from the mounting portion bottom wall 116, and a main portion of the shielding wall 153 extends in a direction parallel to the pivot axis, and additional portions are provided on both sides of the elastic member 151 and extend outward from the main portion, respectively. Alternatively, the additional portion may extend in a direction perpendicular to the pivot axis.

In the present embodiment, the shielding wall 153 and the limiting wall 152 are both provided on the button mounting portion 114, and the shielding wall 153 may be connected to the corresponding limiting wall 152. Specifically, two additional portions of the shielding wall 153 may be connected with the corresponding stopper wall 152. For example, the shielding wall 153 and the stopper wall 152 may form a U-shaped member. Therefore, the strength of the limiting structure and the shielding structure can be simultaneously enhanced, the two structures are firm and reliable, and the production and the manufacture are convenient. The shielding wall 153 protrudes from the stopper wall 152 so that the shielding wall 153 does not affect the pivoting of the cap release button 140, and the locking and unlocking actions of the cap release button 140 are smoothly performed.
