In order to prolong the service life of the limiting member 111, so as to be capable of limiting and matching with the limiting portion 213 after the cover assembly 10 is opened and closed for a plurality of times, the limiting member 111 may be made of a material with better elasticity, for example, but not limited to, the limiting member 111 may be made of food-grade plastic. In order to reduce the manufacturing cost of the cooking appliance, the cover assembly 10 may include a cover 110 and a base 120 that are separately formed, the cover 110 may be located at a lower portion of the base 120, and the cover 110 and the base 120 may be made of different materials, for example, but not limited to, the base 120 may be made of a material having good rigidity and low price. Further, the stopper 111 may be formed on the pressing cover 110 and be integrally formed with the pressing cover 110.

With continued reference to fig. 2, in particular, the gland 110 may include a gland body 113, with a notch disposed radially outward of the gland body 113, and the pivot holes 112 may be symmetrically disposed on two opposing sidewalls of the notch. Preferably, the notch may be formed in a U shape, but not limited thereto.

The limiting member 111 is disposed inside the notch, i.e., at the bottom of the U-shaped notch. The stopper 111 may include an elastic arm 115 connected to the gland 110 and a hook 114 connected to an end of the elastic arm 115, the elastic arm 115 and the hook 114 may be disposed at an angle, the hook 114 may extend into the notch and extend toward the pivot support portion 216 so that the hook 114 may be inserted into a stopper hole or a stopper groove to achieve a stopper fit, and in the case where the hook 114 is stopper-fitted to the stopper portion 213, the elastic arm 115 may be supported on a top surface of the pivot support portion 216 so that the cap assembly 10 is stably locked at a predetermined position, which may be referred to as a locking position.
