Thus, when the cover 200 is closed with the pot 100 and the locking mechanism 300 is in the locked state, when the cover needs to be opened, the first operating element 410 can be operated to switch the locking mechanism 300 to the unlocked state, and then the second operating element 420 can be operated to release the cover opening restriction of the first limiting portion 113 and the second limiting portion 220, so as to open the cover 200 and the pot 100.

Furthermore, the cover 200 and the pot 100 can be hinged and a hinge spring is provided, so that after the first limiting portion 113 and the second limiting portion 220 release the cover opening limitation, the elastic force of the hinge spring can drive the cover 200 to spring open.

For the embodiment that the cooking apparatus 10 includes the first operating member 410 and the second operating member 420, in some embodiments, one of the first operating member 410 and the second operating member 420 may be further configured to be located on the cover 200, and the other one of the first operating member and the second operating member may be located on the pot 100 (as shown in fig. 1 and 3). In other embodiments, first operating member 410 and second operating member 420 can be located on both pan body 100 and cover body 200.

Of course, the present embodiment is not limited to this, and in other embodiments, the second operating element 420 may be omitted, and a structural form in which the first operating element 410 drives the first limiting portion 113 or the second limiting portion 220 may be adopted, for example, when the first operating element 410 is operated, in addition to controlling the locking mechanism 300 to be switched to the unlocking state, the first limiting portion 113 or the second limiting portion 220 is driven to disengage the first limiting portion 113 or the second limiting portion 220, so that the locking between the pot body 100 and the lid body 200 and the unlocking limitation are controlled by one key operation.

In some embodiments, as shown in fig. 3 and 5, the pot body 100 includes a pot body 110 and a cooking pot 120, and the cooking pot 120 is provided on the pot body 110.

Further, as shown in fig. 5, the trigger part is provided on the pot body 110. Thus, for the condition that the cooking pan 120 can be taken and placed relative to the pot body 110, the matching between the triggering part and the matching part 210 is more beneficial to be accurate. In more detail, for example, as shown in fig. 5, the pot body 110 has a housing cover 114, and the housing cover 114 is provided with a boss 111. As shown in fig. 3, the mating member 210 is disposed on the cover 200, and when the cover 200 covers the cooker body 110, the boss 111 jacks up the mating member 210, so that the first mating portion of the mating member 210 is mated with the locking mechanism 300, and the first mating portion of the mating member 210 triggers the locking mechanism 300 to switch from the unlocked state to the locked state. By using the boss 111, the cover body 200 can better lean against the matching piece 210 to realize the linkage of the matching piece 210 when being covered with the pot body 100, and the pot cover has the advantages of simple structure and convenient processing.

Further, the locking mechanism 300 is disposed on the cover body 200 and is configured to be adapted to be locked or unlocked with the cooking pot 120. This structure is through directly the closure to lid 200 and culinary art pot 120, more does benefit to the closure intensity that ensures between lid 200 and the culinary art pot 120 like this to promote the pressure-bearing reliability between lid 200 and the culinary art pot 120.

Furthermore, the first limiting portion 113 or the second limiting portion 220 of the pot body 100 is disposed on the pot body 110, so that the opening of the pot body 110 and the cover body 200 is limited by the cooperation of the first limiting portion 113 and the second limiting portion 220. Therefore, the covering strength of the cover body 200 and the pot body 100 can be further improved, and the first limiting portion 113 and the second limiting portion 220 are matched to limit the cover body 200 from being opened relative to the pot body 110, so that the locking stability of the locking mechanism 300 and the cooking pot 120 can be ensured, and the locking reliability between the cooking pot 120 and the cover body 200 can be further enhanced.

In some further embodiments, as shown in fig. 6, an accommodating space 112 is formed in the boss 111, and at least a portion of the first position-limiting portion 113 or the second position-limiting portion 220 of the pan body 100 is accommodated in the accommodating space 112.

For example, as shown in fig. 6, a boss 111 is disposed on a housing cover 114 of the pot body 110 of the pot body 100, the boss 111 serves as a trigger for linking with the mating member 210, and a first position-limiting portion 113 is disposed on the housing cover 114, an accommodating space 112 is formed in the boss 111, and at least a portion of the first position-limiting portion 113 on the housing cover 114 is accommodated in the accommodating space 112. Like this, boss 111 can avoid empty the protection to first spacing portion 113 on the pot body 100 simultaneously, reduces the damage risk of first spacing portion 113 on the pot body 100, promotes the reliability of product.

Of course, the present disclosure is not limited thereto, and in other embodiments, the boss 111 may be designed as the first limiting portion 113 of the pan body 100 for cooperating with the second limiting portion 220 on the cover body 200. Therefore, the integration of the components of the product is better, the structure of the product is simplified, and the cost is reduced.

In certain embodiments, as shown in fig. 8 and 10, the locking mechanism 300 includes a transmission member 310. Specifically, the transmission member 310 is disposed on the cover body 200, and the transmission member 310 is movable relative to the cover body 200 and causes the state of the locking mechanism 300 to be switched by moving relative to the cover body 200.

The first engaging portion engages with the transmission member 310 to control the state of the locking mechanism 300. Specifically, when the cover body 200 is coupled to the cover body 200 of the pot body 100, the trigger portion is coupled to the engaging member 210, such that the first engaging portion of the engaging member 210 engages with the transmission member 310, and the transmission member 310 engages with the transmission member 310, such that the transmission member 310 correspondingly controls the locking mechanism 300 to be in the locking state.

In more detail, as shown in fig. 3 and 4, the first engaging portion specifically includes an engaging groove 211, and an adapting portion 311 is disposed on the transmission member 310. The matching groove 211 is suitable for the matching part 311 to extend into and movably match with the matching groove 311, and when the matching part 311 matches with the matching groove 211, the transmission part 310 moves along the matching groove 211 to switch the locking mechanism 300 to the locking state. Thus, when the cover body 200 is covered with the pot body 100, the triggering portion abuts against the matching piece 210 to move the matching piece 210, and the matching groove 211 is opposite to the matching portion 311 through the movement of the matching piece 210, at this time, the matching groove 211 forms an avoiding effect on the matching portion 311, so that the stopping limit of the matching piece 210 on the transmission piece 310 is released, and thus, the transmission piece 310 moves by utilizing the movement amount between the matching groove 211 and the matching portion 311, and the locking mechanism 300 is switched to the locking state through the movement of the transmission piece 310.

Further, the engaging element 210 is further provided with a second engaging portion (the second engaging portion can be specifically understood by referring to the stopping portion 212 shown in fig. 8 and 10), and the second engaging portion is adapted to engage with the locking mechanism 300 and limit the switching of the locking mechanism 300 to the locked state when the locking mechanism 300 is in the unlocked state. The unlocked state of the locking mechanism 300 is maintained by restricting the locking mechanism 300 from being switched from the unlocked state to the locked state by the second engagement portion. For example, in the state that the cover body 200 is closed with the pot body 100, after the locking mechanism 300 is controlled to be switched to the unlocked state, the unlocked state is maintained by the second matching portion, so that the triggering portion does not trigger the locking mechanism 300 again to recover the locking. For another example, the second matching portion is used to maintain the unlocked state, so that the locking mechanism 300 can be maintained in the unlocked state after the cover 200 and the pot 100 are opened, so that the locking mechanism 300 can be directly switched from the unlocked state to the locked state by closing the cover 200 next time when the cover 200 and the pot 100 are closed, without controlling the locking mechanism 300 to be in the unlocked state again before the cover 200 is closed. In the design, the second matching part of the matching piece 210 is matched with the locking mechanism 300 to limit the switching of the locking mechanism 300 to the locking state, and the matching piece 210 is adopted to control the locking and maintain the unlocking of the locking mechanism 300, so that the product structure is simpler, the number of transmission response stages is less, the control precision and the response speed of automatic locking of the cover are better guaranteed, the risk of abnormal locking and unlocking caused by part aging or deformation is reduced by simplifying the structure, and the product reliability is better guaranteed.

In the present structure, the first engaging portion and the second engaging portion are engaged with the transmission member 310 to control the state of the locking mechanism 300. Thus, the matching part 210 is matched with the transmission part 310 at different positions (i.e. the first matching part or the second matching part) to correspondingly control the motion and the state of the transmission part 310, and the state of the locking mechanism 300 is controlled by controlling the motion and the state of the transmission part 310, so that the structure is simpler, the integration of matching is better, the problems of large number of transmission structures and complex matching are avoided, the assembly is convenient, the yield is higher, the problem of transmission failure or misalignment caused by aging or deformation of a certain part is also reduced, and the reliability of locking and unlocking functions of a product is improved.

Further, the second matching portion includes a stopping portion 212, the stopping portion 212 is adapted to abut against the adapting portion 311, and when the stopping portion 212 abuts against the adapting portion 311, the transmission member 310 is limited to limit the locking mechanism 300 from being switched to the locking state. The stopping portion 212 limits the position of the transmission member 310 by abutting against the adapting portion 311 of the transmission member 310, so that the transmission member 310 is limited, and accordingly, the transmission member 310 is limited from moving to switch the locking mechanism 300 from the unlocked state to the locked state, so that the locking mechanism 300 can maintain the unlocked state. And lean against the spacing form of complex, to the spacing good reliability of transmission 310, and the cooperation form is simple to control response accuracy and speed have been promoted, and have simple structure, processing convenient advantage.

Further, as shown in fig. 9, the adapting portion 311 includes a catch, which is engaged with the mating groove 211 to be adapted to extend into the mating groove 211 and move along the mating groove 211 when the catch is located opposite to the mating groove 211; a stopping portion 212 is formed around the fitting groove 211, and when the buckle is misaligned with the fitting groove 211, the stopping portion 212 is adapted to abut against the buckle, more specifically, as shown in fig. 9, the stopping portion 212 abuts against the convex buckle 3111 of the buckle, so that the transmission member 310 is limited. By designing the buckles and the matching grooves 211 to form insertion matching for locking the locking mechanism 300 when matching, and forming stop matching for maintaining unlocking of the locking mechanism 300 when dislocation, different matching forms between the transmission member 310 and the matching member 210 are well realized, so as to correspondingly control the state of the locking mechanism 300, realize the function of covering and self-locking the cover body 200 and the pot body 100, and the function of maintaining the unlocking state of the locking mechanism 300, simultaneously, the design requirements of simplifying the transmission and linkage structure and the number of components are better met, the product structure is simpler, the assembly is more efficient and convenient, the yield is improved, and meanwhile, the transmission response stages are fewer, so that the control precision and the response speed of covering and self-locking and maintaining the unlocking state of the locking mechanism 300 are better ensured, and the problem that the components are not normally locked due to aging or deformation is also reduced through simplifying the structure, The risk of unlocking ensures that the reliability of the product is better guaranteed.

Further, as shown in fig. 7, 8 and 10, the locking mechanism 300 further includes a first elastic member 320 (specifically, a spring sheet, an elastic rubber, etc.), and the first elastic member 320 is engaged with the transmission member 310; when the transmission member 310 moves in a direction to switch the locking mechanism 300 to the unlocked state, the transmission member 310 deforms the first elastic member 320, and when the first elastic member 320 elastically recovers, the elastic force of the first elastic member 320 drives the transmission member 310 to move in a direction to switch the locking mechanism 300 to the locked state.

Thus, when the cover body 200 is covered with the pot body 100 to enable the matching groove 211 to match with the matching portion 311 through the triggering portion, since the matching portion 311 is avoided by the matching groove 211, the elastic force can rapidly drive the transmission member 310 to move so as to switch the locking mechanism 300 to the locking state, and the high-efficiency, high-precision and high-reliability linkage matching of the quick locking of the locking mechanism 300 during the covering and closing process is realized.

When the matching groove 211 is misaligned with the matching part 311, the movement of the transmission member 310 is restricted due to the loss of the avoiding function of the matching groove 211, and the locking mechanism 300 is also restricted from being switched to the locked state, so that the locking mechanism 300 is maintained in the unlocked state.

Further, the transmission member 310 is slidably connected to the cover 200. The operation smoothness of the transmission member 310 can be ensured.

Further, as shown in fig. 8 and 10, the locking mechanism 300 further comprises a locking element 330, wherein the locking element 330 is configured to be locked or unlocked with the pot 100. The transmission member 310 is connected with the locking member 330, so that the transmission member 310 is linked with the locking member 330 to control the locking member 330 to be locked or unlocked with the pot body 100, more specifically, with the cooking pot 120, and thus, the stability of the transmission member 310 can be utilized to strengthen the motion stability of the locking member 330, and the locking and matching precision of the locking member 330 and the pot body 100 can be improved, so that the pressure bearing reliability of the cooking device 10 can be improved, and the safety level of the cooking device 10 can be improved.

Further, as shown in fig. 8 and 10, one of the locking member 330 and the transmission member 310 is provided with a sliding portion 3311, the other is provided with a sliding slot 312, the extending direction of the sliding slot 312 is inclined with respect to the moving direction of the transmission member 310, the sliding portion 3311 extends into the sliding slot 312, and the sliding portion 3311 is slidably connected with the sliding slot 312 and guided by the sliding slot 312. In this way, during the sliding process of the transmission member 310, the side wall surface of the sliding slot 312 abuts against the sliding portion 3311 to correspondingly drive the locking member 330 to slide, so that the sliding fit can more flexibly adjust the moving directions of the transmission member 310 and the locking member 330 while achieving the purpose of linking the transmission member 310 with the locking member 330, thereby more flexibly coordinating the position layout of the transmission member 310 and the locking member 330.

Furthermore, a plurality of locking elements 330 are disposed on the cover 200, and the same transmission member 310 is connected to the plurality of locking elements 330, respectively, so that the plurality of locking elements 330 are driven by the same transmission member 310. Specifically, for example, as shown in fig. 8 and 10, the same transmission member 310 is used to link two locking elements 330, but in other embodiments, the same transmission member 310 may be used to link more locking elements 330, such as 3, 4, 5, etc. Wherein, the structure of a plurality of closure members 330 of same driving medium 310 linkage, can promote the closure strength and the pressure-bearing homogeneity of pot body 100 and lid 200, thereby promote the pressure-bearing reliability of cooking equipment 10, wherein, make a plurality of closure members 330 of same driving medium 310 linkage, can promote the alignment precision between a plurality of closure members 330 and the pot body 100 like this, and promote harmony and the linkage precision between a plurality of closure members 330, make a plurality of closure members 330 higher with the cooperation precision of pot body 100, avoid the condition of incomplete closure or incomplete unblock that a plurality of closure members 330 asynchronous lead to, further promote the pressure-bearing reliability and the use experience of product.

Further, as shown in fig. 8 and 10, one of the locking member 330 and the transmission member 310 is provided with two sliding portions 3311, the other is provided with two sliding grooves 312, the two sliding grooves 312 are arranged in a figure-eight shape, and the two sliding portions 3311 are fitted into the two sliding grooves 312.

The two sliding slots 312 of the driving member 310 are designed to be arranged in a figure-eight shape, or the two sliding slots 312 of the cover 200 are designed to be arranged in a figure-eight shape, so that when the driving member 310 moves, the two sliding slots 312 can move in opposite directions between the corresponding locking elements 330 (specifically, as shown in fig. 8, when the driving member 310 moves in the direction x10, the two locking elements 330 move in opposite directions x21 and x22, so as to lock the locking elements 330 with the cooking pot 120) or move in opposite directions (specifically, as shown in fig. 10, when the driving member 310 moves in the direction x10, the two locking elements 330 move in opposite directions x21 and x22, so as to release the cooking pot 120). Therefore, the two locking pieces 330 are controlled to be close to each other to lock the pot body 100 (particularly the cooking pot 120), and the two locking pieces 330 are controlled to be away from each other to avoid the pot body 100 (particularly the cooking pot 120) to realize unlocking, so that the movement form of the locking pieces 330 is simplified while the reliability of the locking and unlocking functions is ensured.

In some embodiments, as shown in fig. 8, 9 and 10, the fitting element 210 is movably disposed on the cover 200, which is further beneficial to accurately align the fitting element 210 with the triggering portion.

Wherein, when the cover body 200 is covered with the pot body 100, the trigger part drives the mating piece 210 to move. Adjustment of the engagement form with the lock mechanism 300 is performed by moving the engagement member 210 relative to the cover body 200. For example, the engagement member 210 can be moved to engage the first engagement portion with the locking mechanism 300, or the engagement member 210 can be moved to engage the second engagement portion with the locking mechanism 300, so as to better satisfy the requirement of linkage with the trigger and the requirement of adjusting the state of the locking mechanism 300.

Further, the cooking apparatus 10 further includes a second elastic member 230 (specifically, a spring, a resilient sheet, an elastic rubber, etc.), the second elastic member 230 is engaged with the engaging member 210, and the engaging member 210 moves relative to the cover 200 to deform the second elastic member 230. Thus, the engaging element 210 can be driven to return by the elastic force of the second elastic element 230, for example, when the engaging element 210 is separated from the trigger part, the engaging element 210 can be driven to return by the elastic force of the second elastic element 230, which facilitates the next covering of the lid 200 and the pot 100 to form linkage with the trigger part again. And by supporting the engaging element 210 by the elastic force of the second elastic element 230, the engaging element 210 can be kept stable and positioned accurately when being engaged with the locking mechanism 300, so as to improve the linkage precision of the locking mechanism 300.

In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 9, the mating member 210 is provided with a connector 214. Wherein, the cover body 200 is provided with an assembly slot, the connecting buckle 214 is fitted in the assembly slot and movably fitted with the assembly slot, so that the fitting member 210 can move relative to the cover body 200, wherein the connecting buckle 214 is provided with a convex buckle portion 2141, and the convex buckle portion 2141 is suitable for being clamped by the assembly slot to limit the connecting buckle 214 to be separated from the assembly slot. The fitting member 210 can be easily and reliably fitted to the lid body 200.

In any of the above embodiments, as shown in fig. 2, the cover 200 is provided with a pressure control module 250. The pressure control module 250 communicates with the cooking pan 120 and controls the cooking pan 120 to be sealed or to be exhausted. Further, as shown in fig. 2 and 7, an end of the transmission member 310 away from the mating member 210 is adapted to the pressure control module 250, so that when the first operating member 410 drives the transmission member 310 to move so as to switch the locking mechanism 300 to the unlocking state, the transmission member 310 controls the pressure control module 250 to open through the mating pressure control module 250 for exhausting.

In any of the above embodiments, as shown in fig. 8 and 10, the locking element 330 specifically includes a slider 331 and a lock catch 332. The sliding block 331 is connected to the lock 332, and the sliding block 331 and the transmission member 310 are coupled to form a linkage through the sliding portion 3311 and the sliding slot 312. Wherein, the cooking pan 120 of the pan body 100 has a buckling part, which is specifically a pan edge or a pan tooth, etc. When the locking mechanism 300 is in the locked state, the lock 332 of the locking element 330 hooks the fastening portion, so that the locking between the locking element 330 and the cooking pan 120 is realized, and when the locking mechanism 300 is in the unlocked state, the lock 332 of the locking element 330 releases the fastening portion, so that the unlocking between the locking element 330 and the cooking pan 120 is realized.

In any of the above embodiments, the cooking apparatus 10 includes an electric cooker, a pressure cooker, an electric steamer, an electric stewpot, a cooker, an electric kettle, and the like.

The specific embodiment is as follows:

the present particular embodiment provides a cooking apparatus 10, in particular a pressure rice cooker.

As shown in fig. 1, the cooking apparatus 10 includes an upper cover assembly (i.e., the cover body 200), a pot body assembly (i.e., the pot body 100), an unlock button (i.e., the first operating member 410), and an open cover button.

As shown in fig. 2, the cooking apparatus 10 further includes a locking mechanism 300. The locking mechanism 300 includes a locking fixing block (i.e., a locking member), a driving slider (i.e., a driving member 310), and a driving spring (i.e., a first elastic member 320).

As shown in fig. 3, the door-opening button includes a button catching plate (i.e., the first stopper portion 113) and a button assembly (i.e., the second operating member 420). The upper cover assembly is buckled with the cooker body assembly (namely the cooker body 100) through a button buckle plate (namely the second limiting part 220).

As shown in fig. 5, the housing cover 114 of the pot body assembly has at least one boss 111 near the button-fastening plate (i.e., the first limiting portion 113), and more specifically, the housing cover 114 of the pot body assembly is provided with two button-fastening plates (i.e., the first limiting portion 113) and two bosses 111.

As shown in fig. 5 and 7, the unlocking button (i.e., the first operating member 410) specifically includes a button 411 and a push rod 412, wherein the push rod 412 of the unlocking button (i.e., the first operating member 410) is disposed at one end of the driving slider (i.e., the transmission member 310) and is used for moving the driving slider (i.e., the transmission member 310). The other end of the driving slider (i.e., the transmission member 310) is provided with a driving spring (i.e., the first elastic member 320), and the driving spring (i.e., the first elastic member 320) is used for resetting the driving slider (i.e., the transmission member 310).

As shown in fig. 6, the locking member of the locking mechanism 300 includes a metal lock (i.e., lock 332) and a lock fixing block (i.e., sliding block 331), the upper cover assembly specifically includes an inner cover 241, a cover plate 242, and the like, and the inner cover 241 is provided with a limiting block (i.e., engaging element 210) and a return spring (i.e., second elastic element 230). The stopper (i.e. the engaging member 210) is provided with an engaging groove 211 and a stopping portion 212, wherein, as shown in fig. 9, the stopping portion 212 is provided with a rib 213, the rib 213 can reinforce the position of the stopping portion 212, and the return spring (i.e. the second elastic member 230) can also be arranged on the rib 213 and positioned by the rib 213.

When the cover assembly is closed, the stop block (i.e., the engaging element 210) contacts with the boss 111 disposed on the housing cover 114, and the stop block (i.e., the engaging element 210) compresses the return spring (i.e., the second elastic element 230) to move upward along with the closing action. When the limiting block (i.e. the engaging piece 210) moves to a certain position, the limiting block (i.e. the engaging piece 210) loses the limiting effect on the driving slider (i.e. the transmission piece 310), for example, the engaging groove 211 corresponds to the engaging portion 311 of the transmission piece 310, and the engaging groove 211 forms an avoiding effect on the engaging portion 311, so that the limiting effect of the engaging piece 210 on the transmission piece 310 is lost. At this time, as shown in fig. 8, the driving spring (i.e., the first elastic member 320) makes the driving slider (i.e., the driving member 310) move along the direction x10 as shown in fig. 8, and the sliding slot 312 disposed on the driving slider (i.e., the driving member 310) drives the locking fixing block (i.e., the slider 331) to move towards the center of the cooking pan 120 by a predetermined distance (i.e., the locking member 330 moves along the directions x21 and x22 as shown in fig. 8) by cooperating with the sliding portion 3311, so that the locking portion of the metal lock and the rim of the cooking pan 120 are locked. When the cover 200 finally completes the closing action, the button fastening plate (i.e. the second limiting portion 220) of the inner cover 241 is fastened with the button fastening plate (i.e. the first limiting portion 113) of the outer casing 114.

As shown in fig. 7, when a user needs to open the lid, the unlocking button (i.e., the first operating element 410) is pressed first, the push rod 412 of the unlocking button pushes the driving slider (i.e., the driving element 310) to move forward (i.e., the driving element 310 moves along the direction x10 shown in fig. 10), the sliding slot 312 provided on the driving slider (i.e., the driving element 310) moves the locking fixing block (i.e., the sliding block 331) a set distance in a direction away from the center of the inner lid 241 (i.e., the locking element 330 moves a set distance in the directions x21 and x22 shown in fig. 10) by cooperating with the sliding portion 3311, and finally the locking portion of the metal locking element is separated from the pot edge of the cooking pot 120, the limiting block (i.e., the engaging element 210) is reset by the reset spring (i.e., the second elastic element 230), the stopping portion 212 provided on the limiting block (i, so that the metal shackle remains open. At this time, the user presses the switch button 411 (i.e., the second operating member 420) to complete the opening of the cover.

It can be understood that, in the related art, the pressure-bearing structure of the pressure rice cooker mostly has a metal bridge frame disposed on the cover 200 and the cooker body 110, and the metal bridge frame generally consists of two longitudinally distributed metal pieces and at least one transversely distributed metal piece, so that there are problems of complicated parts of the cooker body 110, low assembly efficiency, and the like.

In the scheme, the locking buckle 332 of the locking piece is utilized to lock the cooking pot 120, so that the metal pressure-bearing structure is improved, and the bridge structure can be cancelled. More specifically, for example, two or more latches 332 (preferably metal members) are used to latch the cover plate 242 (preferably metal members) and the rim (also referred to as rim) of the cooking pan 120 together to form a pressure-bearing structure. In addition, the present solution utilizes the boss 111, the mating member 210 and the locking mechanism 300 to be linked, so that the effect of automatically fastening the lock 332 when the cover is closed can be achieved.
