Detailed Description

It should be noted that, in the case of no conflict, the embodiments and technical features in the embodiments may be combined with each other, and the detailed description in the specific embodiments should be interpreted as an explanation of the gist of the present application and should not be construed as undue limitation to the present application.

Embodiments of the present application provide a lid assembly for fitting to a cooking body. Referring to fig. 1 to 12, the cap assembly includes: a face cover 1, a connector 2 and a glass panel 3. Wherein the connecting piece 2 is connected with the face cover 1. The glass panel 3 is mounted on the connector 2, and the connector 2 is used for limiting the glass panel 3 to be far away from the face cover 1 along the arrangement direction of the face cover 1 and the glass panel 3.

According to the cover assembly, the connecting piece 2 is adopted between the face cover 1 and the glass panel 3 to serve as a connecting medium, so that effective connection between the glass panel 3 and the face cover 1 is indirectly achieved, the adhesive bonding mode adopted between the face cover 1 and the glass panel 3 in the related technology is avoided, the production time required by adhesive bonding and solidification is saved, and the production assembly efficiency of the cover assembly is improved.

For example, referring to fig. 2, the connector 2 includes a base 21, a first limiting portion 22 and a second limiting portion 23. The first spacing portion 22 is connected in the base 21 towards one side of glass panel 3, and the spacing portion 22 of first spacing portion restriction glass panel 3 is kept away from face lid 1 along the range direction of face lid 1 and glass panel 3, and the spacing portion 23 of second is connected in the base 21 one side that deviates from glass panel 3, and the spacing portion 23 of second is connected with face lid 1.

In this embodiment, the fixing of the base 21 and the cover 1 is ensured by the connection of the second limiting portion 23 and the cover 1, and further, the movement of the glass panel 3 away from the cover 1 along the arrangement direction of the cover 1 and the glass panel 3 is limited by the first limiting portion 22, so as to fix the base 21 and the glass panel 3. I.e. the mounting of the glass panel 3 on the face cover 1 is achieved by means of the connecting piece 2. The glass panel 3 can be held relatively stably by the base 21 and the first stopper 22.

In an embodiment, the connecting piece 2 includes a first limiting portion 22 and a second limiting portion 23, and the connecting piece 2 may not include the base 21, and the first limiting portion 22 and the second limiting portion 23 are connected.

The material of the connector 2 is not limited.

In one embodiment, the material of the connecting member 2 may be a metal material with a good ductility. Illustratively, in some embodiments, the connector 2 is made of a copper alloy material. In other embodiments, the connecting member 2 is made of aluminum alloy.

In one embodiment, the material of the connecting member 2 is a non-metal material.

It will be appreciated that the manufacturing process of the connector 2 is not limited, and in some embodiments, the connector 2 may be manufactured by welding or bonding the base 21, the first limiting portion 22, and the second limiting portion 23, respectively. In other embodiments, the connecting member 2 may be manufactured by integrally forming a sheet metal member, that is, bending the sheet metal member to form the base 21, the first limiting portion 22, and the second limiting portion 23.

Since the connecting member 2 may be made of metal, the base 21, the first limiting portion 22, and the second limiting portion 23 may be formed by a sheet metal process. Compared with the cutting processing technology, the sheet metal technology has the advantages of high speed, high precision, high adaptability, thin cutting seam, small heat affected zone (small deformation), good quality of the cutting end face, no cutting noise, the performance of forming a welding seam area after the sheet metal part is welded is close to that of a base metal, and the like. Therefore, the sheet metal process has simple manufacturing process, light weight of raw materials, metal material saving, production cost reduction and production cost saving. The metal plate is bent to cover the first limiting part 22 around the glass panel 3, so that metal raw materials with different colors can be selected according to actual requirements, and the appearance attractiveness of the cover assembly is improved while the connection reliability of the connecting piece 2 and the panel cover 1 and the glass panel 3 is improved.

The method of bending the connecting member 2 is not limited, and in some embodiments, the connecting member 2 is processed by in-mold bending, that is, the connecting member 2 is completely pressed into the female die by using the punching core, so that no gap is left between the female die and the connecting member 2 and the punching core. The machine tool control system then continues to lift the punching force against the connecting piece 2, eventually causing the connecting piece 2 to assume the contours of the punching core and the female die. The rebound problem of the connecting piece 2 after bending can be thoroughly eliminated by the mode. In other embodiments, the connector 2 is manufactured using a floating bending operation or using a swing arm flap bending operation.

In some embodiments, referring to fig. 4, the glass panel 3 has an abutment surface 31 surrounding the glass panel 3, the abutment surface 31 is spaced from the bottom surface of the glass panel 3 by a predetermined distance, the predetermined distance gradually increases from outside to inside, and the first limiting portion 22 abuts against the abutment surface 31.

It should be noted that the direction pointing toward the geometric center of the face cover 1 is the direction "in", and the direction departing from the geometric center of the face cover 1 is the direction "out".

In such a structural form, since the preset distance gradually increases from outside to inside, and the first limiting portion 22 abuts against the abutment surface 31, the first limiting portion 22 forms an inward inclined angle with the base 21, thereby preventing the glass panel 3 from being separated from the connector 2, and improving the reliability of the connection between the glass panel 3 and the base 21. Furthermore, since the abutting surface 31 surrounds the periphery of the glass panel 3, the abutting of the first limiting portion 22 and the abutting surface 31 can limit the glass panel 3 from being away from the cover 1, so that the structure of the first limiting portion 22 can be simplified and the material can be saved.

In an embodiment, the first limiting portion 22 may not abut against the abutment surface 31, the first limiting portion 22 may partially cover a side of the glass panel 3 facing away from the base 21, and the first limiting portion 22 is separated from the abutment surface 31.

In one embodiment, referring to fig. 5, the first limiting portion 22 includes a first flange 221 and a second flange 222 that are connected to each other, the first flange 221 is connected to the outer side of the base 21, the first flange 221 surrounds the second flange 222, and the second flange 222 at least partially covers a partial area of a side of the glass panel 3 facing away from the cover 1.

In this embodiment, the second flange 222 at least partially covers a partial area of one side of the glass panel 3 facing away from the face cover 1, and the base 21 and the second flange 222 are respectively located on two opposite sides of the glass panel 3 along the arrangement direction of the face cover 1 and the glass panel 3, so that the glass panel 3 is sandwiched between the base 21 and the second flange 222, and the second flange 222 limits the glass panel 3 from moving along the direction facing away from the base 21, thereby improving the connection reliability of the connecting piece 2 to the glass panel 3 and reducing the possibility of detachment of the glass panel 3 from the connecting piece 2.

In one embodiment, referring to fig. 6, the second flange 222 is formed with a curved bend.

In an embodiment, the second flange 222 at least partially covers a partial area of the glass panel 3 on the side facing away from the face cover 1, and the first flange 221 may abut against the abutment face 31.

In an embodiment, the second flange 222 at least partially covers a partial area of the glass panel 3 on the side facing away from the cover 1, and the first flange 221 can be separated from the abutment surface 31.

In one embodiment, the first limiting portion 22 includes a first flange 221 but does not include a second flange 222, and the first flange 221 abuts against the abutment surface 31.

In an embodiment, referring to fig. 7 and 8, the second flange 222 is formed with a bending portion 2221 bent downward, and a free end of the second flange 222 is located between the bending portion 2221 and the first flange 221 along an inner-outer direction.

In this embodiment, the metal after bending is sprung due to its elasticity, so that the edge of the metal is easy to cut the user, and the bending portion 2221 bent downward resists the springback of the second flange 222, so as to reduce the risk of cutting the edge of the metal to the user.

In an embodiment, the second flange 222 may not have the bending portion 2221.

In one embodiment, referring to fig. 9 and 10, the top edge of the glass panel 3 is formed with a groove 32, and the second flange 222 is located in the groove 32.

In this embodiment, the second flange 222 is located in the groove 32, so that the second flange 222 does not protrude from the top of the glass panel 3, so that there is no local protrusion around the glass panel 3, and the overall aesthetic property of the cap assembly is improved.

In one embodiment, the top surface of the second flange 222 is flush with the top surface of the glass panel 3.

In one embodiment, the top surface of the second flange 222 is lower than the top surface of the glass panel 3.

In one embodiment, the bottom of the second flange 222 contacts the top of the recess 32.

In this embodiment, the bottom of the second flange 222 contacts the top of the groove 32, so that the top of the groove 32 can share the load of the second flange 222, and the reliability of connection is improved.

In an embodiment, the glass panel 3 may not be provided with the groove 32, and the second flange 222 protrudes from the top of the glass panel 3.
