Optionally, the mounting portion 140 is downwardly sloped in a direction away from the inner pot receiving cavity 121.

Specifically, please refer to fig. 3, fig. 7 and fig. 8. The mounting cavity 141 is surrounded by a first wall 142 and a second wall 143, the first wall 142 being closer to the inner pot receiving cavity 121 than the second wall 143. In the present embodiment, the first wall 142 may be configured in a linear shape, and the second wall 143 may be configured in an arc shape. The plurality of support ribs 152 are disposed on the inner sides of the first wall 142 and the second wall 143 near the mounting cavity 141. Herein, the side of the first and second walls 142 and 143 close to the mounting cavity 141 is referred to as an inner side, and the side thereof away from the mounting cavity 141 is referred to as an outer side.

The panel 130 has a shape similar to the outline of the mounting portion 140. Preferably, the panel 130 has a first edge 131 corresponding to the first wall 142 and a second edge 132 corresponding to the second wall 143. That is, when the panel 130 is mounted to the mounting part 140, the first edge 131 is located at the first wall 142, and the second edge 132 is located at the second wall 143.

Wherein, the top of the second wall 143 is provided with a step structure 144, the step structure 144 has a first step 145 and a second step 146 higher than the first step 145, and the second step 146 is preferably higher than the first step 145 by more than 2mm (the height is not enough to play a role of blocking as described below). The first step 145 is located on the outer side edge of the second wall 143, and the second step 146 is located on the inner side of the first step 145 near the mounting cavity 141.

The edge of the second edge 132 has a rib 133 bent downward, wherein the rib 133 is located on the outer side of the second step 146 far away from the mounting cavity 141, and the rib 133 abuts against the upper surface of the first step 145 to form a structure similar to a covered edge. Also, the edge of the mounting portion 140 distal from the mounting cavity 141 extends beyond the edge or edges of the rib 133 distal from the mounting cavity 141 to be flush. Alternatively stated, the edge of the stop rib 133 that is distal from the mounting cavity 141 does not extend beyond the edge of the mounting portion 140 that is distal from the mounting cavity 141. This can expose the blocking rib 133 of the panel 130, so that the design of the pot body 120 has a hierarchical feeling, and the design selectivity is higher.

Thereby, a gap between the panel 130 and the mounting part 140 is exposed to the side rather than the top, so that foreign materials are not easily introduced into the gap when the user wipes the panel 130. Also, since the second step 146 is higher than the first step 145, the second step 146 forms a barrier to the gap, which can prevent foreign materials entering the gap from entering the mounting cavity 141 further. That is, the above structure can improve the waterproof sealing performance of the pot body 120.

In the present embodiment, referring to fig. 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 8, the top of the first wall 142 of the mounting part 140 is provided with a fitting groove 147, and the first edge 131 of the panel 130 is overlapped on the side wall of the fitting groove 147. As shown, the assembly slot 147 is generally configured in an elongated shape and may extend substantially the entire length of the first wall 142. The fitting groove 147 has two side walls, i.e., an inner side wall 148 and an outer side wall 149. Wherein the inner sidewall 148 is disposed proximate the mounting cavity 141 and the outer sidewall 149 is disposed distal the mounting cavity 141. In this case, the first edge 131 of the panel 130 preferably overlaps the top surface of the outer sidewall 149 of the mounting groove 147.

With continued reference to fig. 2, 3 and 8. A sealing member 180 is preferably disposed in the fitting groove 147. The sealing member 180 is preferably constructed as a sealing strip similar in shape to the fitting groove 147. More preferably, the sealing strip generally comprises a base portion 181 and a sealing portion 182. In this case, the base portion 181 is disposed at the bottom of the fitting groove 147, or the base portion 181 interferes with the bottom wall of the fitting groove 147.

And the sealing part 182 extends upward or obliquely upward from the base part 181 to abut to the lower surface of the panel 130. In the illustrated embodiment, the sealing portion 182 extends obliquely upward in a direction away from the mounting cavity 141. In an embodiment not shown, the sealing portion 182 may also extend obliquely upward in a direction close to the mounting cavity 141, or vertically upward. So long as the sealing member 180 interferes with both the panel 130 and the mounting part 140. Accordingly, interference fit among the panel 130, the mounting portion 140, and the sealing member 180 can be formed in the fitting groove 147, and sealing performance can be further improved.

Also, due to the overall inclination of the mounting portion 140, the inner sidewall 148 of the mounting slot 147 is preferably lower than the outer sidewall 149, thereby leaving a gap between the panel 130 and the inner sidewall 148 to avoid an increased spacing between the outer sidewall 149 and the panel 130 (where the increased spacing is likely to cause a seal failure of the seal 180) due to interference of the inner sidewall 148 with the panel 130. Thus, not only is the sealing property further improved, but also the possibility of liquid or foreign matter or the like entering from the gap between the outer side wall 149 and the panel 130 is reduced.

In the present embodiment, both end portions of the fitting groove 147 are adjacent to the second wall 143, respectively, and optionally, at least one of the end portions is provided with a water leakage hole 150. Thereby, the liquid entering the fitting groove 147 can be discharged through the drain hole 150. Preferably, the water leakage holes 150 are provided at both ends in the extending direction of the fitting groove 147.

In addition, referring to fig. 4 to 8, the bottom surface of the panel 130 is also provided with a stopper rib 135 protruding downward. The stopper rib 135 is located at inner sides of the first and second walls 142 and 143 near the mounting cavity 141 to sandwich the second step 146 of the stepped structure 144 between the stopper rib 135 and the stopper rib 133 and sandwich the inner side wall 148 of the fitting groove 147 between the stopper rib 135 and the sealing member 180. In this way, the position can be quickly aligned during installation, and the production efficiency is high. The stopper rib 135 may be continuously provided or intermittently provided in the circumferential direction of the panel 130. In the embodiment shown in fig. 4, the restricting rib 135 is interrupted by the engaging portion 138.
