Fig. 1 to 8 show a cooking appliance 100 according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention. It is understood that the cooking appliance according to the present invention may be an electric rice cooker, an electric pressure cooker or other cooking appliances, and the cooking appliance according to the present invention may have various functions of cooking porridge, cooking soup, etc. in addition to the function of cooking rice.

As shown in fig. 1, 2 and 3, the cooking appliance 100 includes a lid 130 and a pot body 110. The pot body 110 is substantially composed of a housing having a substantially rounded rectangular parallelepiped shape and a middle plate 111. And the housing and the middle plate 111 together enclose a receiving portion having a cylindrical shape. The inner pot 112 may be configured to be freely put into or taken out of the receiving portion to facilitate cleaning of the inner pot 112, or configured to be fixed in the pot body 110 so as not to be taken out of the pot body 110. The inner pot 112 is generally made of a metal material for containing a material to be heated, such as rice, soup, etc. A heating means (not shown) and a control means (not shown) are further provided in the pot body 110, and the heating means is located below the inner pot 112 to heat the food in the inner pot 112. The user can control the cooking operation of the cooking appliance 100 through the control device.

A pivoting part 114 protruding from the middle plate 111 is provided at one end of the pot body 110 (e.g., the rear of the middle plate 111). One end of the cover 130 is pivotally mounted to the upper portion of the pivoting part 114 to be able to open with respect to the pot body 110 or to cover the pot body 110. The cover 130 and the pot body 110 may be connected together by a pivot shaft 113 at the pivoting portion 114, thereby enabling the cover 130 to rotate about a central axis of the pivot shaft 113 as a pivot axis.

The cover 130 includes a surface cover 131 and a liner 132, and the surface cover 131 is disposed above the liner 132. The end of the lining 132 near the pivot joint 114 has a position-limiting part 133, and the position-limiting part 133 may be Z-shaped. In the present embodiment, the stopper 133 is mounted on the cover 130 and is separable from the cover 130. When the cover body 130 is closed on the pot body 110, one end of the stopper 133 extends into the inside of the cover body 130, and the other end thereof extends outward from the end of the cover body 130 in the horizontal direction (vertical direction in fig. 5 to 8). Those skilled in the art will appreciate that the structure of the position-limiting portion 133 is not limited to the Z-shape, and the position-limiting portion 133 may be integrally formed with the cover 130.

The cover 130 is usually provided with a cover-opening button, the connection between the cover 130 and the end of the pot body 110 far away from the pivoting part 114 can be released by pressing the cover-opening button, at this time, the cover 130 rotates towards the outside of the pot body 110 under the action of the torsion spring, and then collides with the pivoting part 114 of the pot body 110, for example, in the vertical direction, the cover 130 stops rotating, and at this time, the cover is located at the maximum opening position, or called as fully opened.

Reference is now made to fig. 4, 5 and 6. The pivoting portion 114 of the pot body 110 is provided with an abutting portion having an abutting surface substantially facing the inner pot 112. When the cover 130 collides with the pivoting portion 114 of the pot body 110 and stops pivoting, the limiting portion 133 of the cover 130 abuts against the abutting surface of the abutting portion of the pot body 110.

Preferably, the abutting portion may be provided at the middle and/or both ends of the pivot portion 114. In particular, the abutments may include a primary abutment 116 and an additional abutment 118. Wherein the main abutting portion 116 is disposed in the middle of the pivoting portion 114, and the additional abutting portions 118 are disposed at both ends of the pivoting portion 114 (both sides of the main abutting portion 116). It is easy to understand that the abutment surfaces substantially comprise the main abutment surface 117 of the main abutment 116 and the additional abutment surface 119 of the additional abutment 118. When the cover 130 is pivoted to collide with the pivoting part 114 of the pot body 110 and stop rotating, the stopper 133 of the cover 130 abuts against the main abutting surface 117 and the additional abutting surface 119 at the same time. The longitudinal cross-section of the main abutment 116 and the additional abutment 118 may each be trapezoidal, i.e. their cross-sectional area may gradually decrease from bottom to top.

In a preferred embodiment of the utility model, the primary abutment 116 and the additional abutment 118 are preferably spaced apart to form a damping portion 122 therebetween. In an embodiment not shown, the main abutment 116 and the additional abutment 118 can also be connected to each other, forming a continuous abutment; or the cooking appliance has only one of the main abutment 116 and the additional abutment 118.

Wherein the damping part 122 may be configured as a slope inclined downward toward the middle of the pot body 110. The cover body 130 is provided with a damping stopper rib 135 for mounting a damping bumper (not shown). In the embodiment shown in fig. 3, the damping stopper rib 135 is provided on the stopper portion 133 of the liner 132. The position thereof corresponds to the damping portion 122 of the pot body 110.

Therefore, when the cover 130 is pivoted to the proper position (i.e., when the limiting portion 133 is close to the abutting portion), the damping cushion disposed at the damping limiting rib 135 can generate friction interference with the damping portion 122, so that the rotation speed of the cover 130 is reduced, the cover 130 is pivoted to the proper position gently, and the impact force received by the cover 130 is reduced.

Please refer to fig. 3, fig. 5, fig. 6, fig. 7 and fig. 8. The pivoting portion 114 of the pot body 110 is provided with a matching portion 115 having a second matching surface 123. The pivot portion 114 has a first mating surface. The first mating surface and the second mating surface 123 can form a first included angle α. It is easily understood that the first angle α is greater than 0 ° and less than 180 °.

The limiting portion 133 of the cover 130 is provided with a clamping portion 134 capable of being matched with the matching portion 115. A second included angle β is formed between the limiting portion 133 and the engaging portion 134. It is easy to understand that the second angle β has a value range greater than 0 ° and less than 180 °.

When the cover 130 is completely opened, i.e. when the position-limiting portion 133 of the cover 130 collides with the pivot portion 114 and stops rotating, the position-limiting portion 133 of the cover 130 abuts against the first engagement surface, and the engaging portion 134 of the cover 130 abuts against the second engagement surface 123.

According to the cooking utensil 100 of the present invention, since the included angles α and β range from 0 ° to 180 °, and the movement direction of the lid body is limited to rotate around the pivot axis, when the lid body 130 bears the external thrust, the reaction force from the pot body 110 has not only a lateral component force but also a partial vertical component force, so that the limit portion 133 of the lid body 130 is not easily deformed when being abutted against the pivoting portion 114 of the pot body 110, the thrust bearing capability of the lid body 130 is improved, and the possibility that the lid body 130 is easily taken off after being heated is reduced.

Preferably, the first angle α is greater than or equal to the second angle β. And, the first included angle α and the second included angle β are both in the range of 60 ° to 120 °. More preferably, the first included angle α and the second included angle β each range from 80 ° to 100 °. In the illustrated embodiment, the first included angle α and the second included angle β are both preferably right angles (90 °).

Specifically, referring to fig. 5, 6, 7 and 8, the mating portion 115 is preferably disposed at the abutting portion such that the second mating face 123 is an adjacent surface of the first mating face. Or the mating portion 115 may be constructed as one piece with the abutment portion. Thereby, the abutting surface of the abutting portion may be formed as the first mating surface.

Wherein the mating portion 115 may be disposed at the main abutting portion 116 and integrated with the main abutting portion 116, such that the main abutting surface 117 forms a first mating surface. The mating portion 115 may also be provided at the additional abutment 118 and be integrated with the additional abutment 118, such that the additional abutment 118 forms a first mating surface. Alternatively, the mating portion 115 may be provided at both the main abutment 116 and the additional abutment 118.

In the illustrated embodiment, the cooking appliance 100 has two engaging portions 115 respectively provided at the additional abutting portions 118 at both ends of the pivoting portion 114. The arrangement can relatively simply obtain the manufacturing die, thereby reducing the production difficulty and the production cost.

The fitting portion 115 also has a downwardly inclined guide surface 120, at least a part of the surface of the guide surface 120 being configured as a cylindrical surface centered on the pivot axis, so that the snap-in portion 134 is brought into engagement with the fitting portion 115 via the guide surface 120 without being blocked during pivoting.

The engagement portion 115 is preferably a snap groove, which is open toward the middle of the pot body 110, or the inner pot 112. The catching portion 134 is preferably a protrusion protruding from the stopper portion 133. In the embodiment shown in fig. 3, the two engaging portions 134 are respectively located at both ends of the stopper portion 133. When the cover 130 is pivoted to the position-limiting portion 133 to abut against the abutting portion, the clamping portion 134 is at least partially accommodated in the clamping groove. This achieves the intended technical effect by a simple arrangement.

The card slot has an upper surface and a lower surface, the upper surface of the card slot is configured as the second mating surface 123, and the lower surface is configured as the guiding surface 120.

To sum up, when the cover 130 is completely opened, the stopper 133 of the cover 130 is stopped by the abutting portion to stop rotating. The protrusion of the cover 130 enters the engaging groove of the pivoting portion 114 of the pot body 110. At this time, the stopper portion 133 abuts against the abutting surface (first mating surface), and the projecting portion (upper surface of the projecting portion shown in fig. 8) abuts against the upper surface of the card slot (second mating surface 123).

Therefore, when the fully opened cover 130 is pushed in the opening direction, the limiting portion 133 is subjected to a lateral reaction component force of the abutting surface, and the protruding portion is subjected to a vertical reaction component force from the second mating surface 123, so that the pushing force (the direction indicated by the arrow in fig. 1) applied to the cover 130 can be dispersed and offset, and deformation caused by excessive local force under the condition that the cover 130 is heated can be avoided.

Therefore, the use experience of a user is improved, and the product quality is improved. It also makes the cooking appliance 100 more pass the standard specified thrust test. Such as a 50N thrust test.
