In order to make the object, technical scheme and advantages of the present invention clear, the present invention will be further described in detail with reference to the drawings and examples. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present invention, and are not used to limit the present invention. It should be noted that, if there is no conflict, the various features in the embodiments of the present invention can be combined with each other, which are within the protection scope of the present invention.

According to the inventor's knowledge, in daily use, when the pot cover covers the pot body to cook food, liquid mixed with food residues will condense on the inner wall of the pot cover. When the pot cover needs to be opened to take out the food in the pot, the pot cover often needs to be placed on the table top, which not only occupies space, but also makes the liquid mixed with food residues easily drip on the table top, thus soiling the table top and increasing the cleaning labor.

Based on this, the present invention provides a pot cover and a cookware. By arranging a groove for insertion at the end of the holding part, the pot cover can be inserted at any position of the opening edge of the pot body and supported above the opening of the pot body, thereby reducing the space occupancy rate on the table top, preventing liquid mixed with food residues from dripping on the table top, and being more convenient, simple and tidy to use.

The embodiments of the present invention will be further explained with reference to the accompanying drawings.

Referring to <FIG>, an embodiment of the present invention provides a pot cover, which comprises a cover body <NUM> and a handle <NUM> arranged on the cover body <NUM>, wherein the handle <NUM> comprises a connecting part <NUM> for connecting the cover body <NUM> and a holding part <NUM> which is convenient to hold, and a groove <NUM> for inserting is arranged at an end of the holding part <NUM>.

In this embodiment, the connection between the connecting part <NUM> and the cover <NUM> can be implemented in various ways. For example, the connecting part <NUM> and the cover <NUM> may be integrally formed. For another example, the connecting part <NUM> can be screwed and connected with the cover <NUM> by screws or bolts. For yet another example, the connecting part <NUM> can also be connected with the cover body <NUM> by buckling or snap-connected. In addition, the connecting part <NUM> and the holding part <NUM> can be connected in various ways. For example, the connecting part <NUM> and the holding part <NUM> may be integrally formed. For another example, the connecting part <NUM> and the holding part <NUM> can be screwed and connected. For yet another example, the connecting part <NUM> and the holding part <NUM> can also be snap-connected or connected by buckling.

In this embodiment, a groove <NUM> for insertion is provided at the end of the holding part <NUM>. When the pot cover is uncovered from the pot body, the groove <NUM> is aligned with the opening edge of the pot body and the holding part <NUM> is inserted at the opening edge of the pot body. At this time, the cover body <NUM> can be supported above the opening of the pot body, thereby reducing the space occupied by the pot cover on the table top. Since the cover body <NUM> is supported above the opening of the pot body, the liquid mixed with food residues can flow back to the inside of the pot body along the cover body <NUM>, thereby effectively preventing the liquid mixed with food residues from dripping on the table top, and being more convenient, simple and tidy to use. In addition, because the groove <NUM> can be inserted at any position of the opening edge of the pot body, it is convenient for the user to use, so that the user does not need to deliberately find a place to place the pot cover, and the convenience of use is greatly improved. In addition, because the pot cover can be inserted at the opening edge of the pot body, even if the user moves the pot body, the problem of the pot cover falling will not occur, thus avoiding the problem of the pot cover falling and breaking caused by moving the pot body.

Furthermore, based on the above embodiments, another embodiment of the present invention also provides a pot cover, wherein the projection of the groove <NUM> on the horizontal plane is in the projection of the cover <NUM> on the horizontal plane.

In this embodiment, the projection of the groove <NUM> on the horizontal plane is in the projection of the cover <NUM> on the horizontal plane. When the cover is viewed from top to bottom, the holding part <NUM> does not extend out of the cover body <NUM>. Therefore, when the groove <NUM> provided at the end of the holding part <NUM> is inserted at the opening edge of the pot body, the cover body <NUM> extends into the pot body in an inclined manner, so the cover body <NUM> abuts against the opening edge of the pot body to form two connection points. When the groove <NUM> is inserted at the opening edge of the pot body, a third connection point will be formed. These three connection points are not on the same straight line, so these three connection points form a triangular support configuration with the characteristics of stability, firmness and pressure resistance. Therefore, even if the pot body is shaken, the pot cover can be stably fixed on the pot body, thereby avoiding the problem that the pot cover falls and breaks due to moving or shaking the pot body. In addition, since the cover body <NUM> extends into the pot body in an inclined manner, the liquid mixed with food residues can flow back into the pot body along the cover body <NUM>, thereby effectively preventing the liquid mixed with food residues from dripping on the table top.

Furthermore, based on the above embodiments, another embodiment of the present invention also provides a pot cover, wherein the depth of the groove <NUM> ranges from <NUM> to <NUM>.

In this embodiment, since the groove <NUM> needs to be inserted at the opening edge of the pot body, in order to ensure the connection stability between the pot cover and the pot body, the groove <NUM> needs to have a suitable depth. According to the inventor's research, because the pot cover has a certain weight, if the depth of the groove <NUM> is too small, the groove <NUM> can not stably support the pot cover, so it is easy for the pot cover to fall. After several tests by the inventor, when the depth of the groove <NUM> is not less than <NUM>, the opening edge of the pot can be inserted into the groove <NUM> and the groove <NUM> can be stably connected with the opening edge, thus ensuring the connection stability between the pot cover and the pot body. In addition, according to the inventor's research, since the cover body <NUM> extends into the pot body in an inclined manner and abuts against the opening edge, if the depth of the groove <NUM> is too large, the opening edge cannot be completely inserted into the groove <NUM>, thus reducing the utilization degree of the groove <NUM>. After several tests by the inventor, when the depth of the groove <NUM> is not more than <NUM>, the cover <NUM> can not only abut against the opening edge stably, but also the opening edge can be completely inserted into the groove <NUM>, which improves the utilization degree of the groove <NUM> on the premise of ensuring the stable connection between the pot cover and the pot body.

Furthermore, based on the above embodiments, another embodiment of the present invention also provides a pot cover, wherein the width of the groove <NUM> ranges from <NUM> to <NUM>.

In this embodiment, since the groove <NUM> needs to be inserted at the opening edge of the pot body, and the opening edge is arranged in an arc shape, in order to ensure that the groove <NUM> can be inserted at the opening edge smoothly, the groove <NUM> needs to have a suitable width. According to the inventor's research, when the groove <NUM> is inserted at the edge of the opening, the groove <NUM> can support the pot cover. Since the pot cover has a certain weight, if the width of the groove <NUM> is too small, that is, if the strength of the groove <NUM> for supporting the pot cover is too small, the groove <NUM> is easily damaged, so that the groove <NUM> cannot be inserted by the opening edge. After several tests by the inventor, when the width of the groove <NUM> is not less than <NUM>, the groove <NUM> can have enough strength to support the weight of the pot cover, thus avoiding the damage of the groove <NUM>. In addition, according to the inventor's research, because the opening edge is arranged in an arc shape, if the width of the groove <NUM> is too large, the groove <NUM> with too large width will not match the opening edge, thus affecting the effective insertion between the groove <NUM> and the opening edge. After several tests by the inventor, when the width of the groove <NUM> is not more than <NUM>, there will be no mismatch between the groove <NUM> and the opening edge of the pot body, thus ensuring the effective insertion between the groove <NUM> and the opening edge.

Furthermore, based on the above embodiments, referring to <FIG>, another embodiment of the present invention also provides a pot cover, in which a first groove surface <NUM>, a second groove surface <NUM> and a third groove surface <NUM> are formed in the groove <NUM> at the end of the holding part <NUM>. The first groove surface <NUM> and the third groove surface <NUM> are oppositely arranged and respectively connected with the second groove surface <NUM>, and the third groove surface <NUM> is convex toward the first groove surface <NUM> and is arranged in an arc shape.

In this embodiment, when the groove <NUM> is inserted at the edge of the opening, the surface of the groove <NUM> near the inner wall of the pot body is the third groove surface <NUM>, and the surface of the groove <NUM> near the outer wall of the pot body is the first groove surface <NUM>. In this embodiment, the third groove surface <NUM> is convex toward the first groove surface <NUM> and arranged in an arc shape, and the arc curvature of the third groove surface <NUM> matches the arc curvature of the opening edge. Since the third groove surface <NUM> is matched with the opening edge, when the groove <NUM> is inserted at the opening edge, the third groove surface <NUM> can be attached to the opening edge, thereby increasing the contact area between the groove <NUM> and the opening edge, ensuring the contact tightness between the groove <NUM> and the opening edge, and improving the insertion stability between the groove <NUM> and the opening edge. Even if the user moves or shakes the pot body, the groove <NUM> will not loose from the opening edge of the pot body, so that the problem that the pot cover falls off due to moving or shaking the pot body can be avoided.

Referring to <FIG> and <FIG>, another embodiment of the present invention also provides a cookware, which comprises a pot body <NUM> and a pot cover in any of the above embodiments, and the groove <NUM> can be inserted at any position of the opening edge of the pot body <NUM>.

In this embodiment, a groove <NUM> for insertion is provided at the end of the holding part <NUM> of the pot cover. When the pot cover is uncovered from the pot body <NUM>, the groove <NUM> is aligned with the opening edge of the pot body <NUM> and the holding part <NUM> is inserted at the opening edge of the pot body <NUM>. At this time, the cover body <NUM> can be supported above the opening of the pot body <NUM>, thereby reducing the space occupied by the pot cover on the table top. Since the cover body <NUM> is supported above the opening of the pot body <NUM>, the liquid mixed with food residues can flow back to the inside of the pot body <NUM> along the cover body <NUM>, thereby effectively preventing the liquid mixed with food residues from dripping on the table top, and being more convenient, simple and tidy to use. In addition, because the groove <NUM> can be inserted at any position of the opening edge of the pot body <NUM>, it is convenient for the user to use, so that the user does not need to deliberately find a place to place the pot cover, and the convenience of use is greatly improved. In addition, because the pot cover can be inserted at the opening edge of the pot body <NUM>, even if the user moves the pot body <NUM>, the problem of the pot cover falling will not occur, thus avoiding the problem of the pot cover falling and breaking caused by moving the pot body <NUM>.

Furthermore, based on the above embodiments, referring to <FIG>, another embodiment of the present invention also provides a cookware, wherein when the groove <NUM> is inserted at the opening edge of the pot body <NUM>, the cover body <NUM> abuts against the pot body <NUM> so that the cover body <NUM> forms an acute angle with the horizontal plane.

In this embodiment, when the groove <NUM> is inserted at the opening edge of the pot body <NUM>, the cover body <NUM> abuts against the pot body <NUM>, and the cover body <NUM> forms an acute angle with the horizontal plane, that is, the cover body <NUM> extends into the pot body <NUM> in an inclined manner. At this time, the cover body <NUM> abuts against the opening edge of the pot body <NUM> to form two connection points. In addition, the groove <NUM> forms a third connection point with the edge of the opening. Because these three connection points are not on the same straight line, these three connection points form stable, strong and pressure-resistant triangular support points. Therefore, even if the pot body <NUM> is shaken, the pot cover can be stably fixed on the pot body <NUM>, so that the problem that the pot cover falls and breaks due to moving or shaking the pot body <NUM> can be avoided. In addition, since the cover body <NUM> extends into the pot body <NUM> in an inclined manner, the liquid mixed with food residues can flow back into the pot body <NUM> along the cover body <NUM>, thereby effectively preventing the liquid mixed with food residues from dripping on the table top.

Furthermore, based on the above embodiments, another embodiment of the present invention also provides a cookware, wherein when the groove <NUM> is inserted at the opening edge of the pot body <NUM>, the projection of the centroid of the pot cover on the horizontal plane is in the projection of the pot body <NUM> on the horizontal plane.

In this embodiment, when the groove <NUM> is inserted at the opening edge of the pot body <NUM>, the pot cover is supported on the pot body <NUM> in an inclined manner. At this time, there are three connection points between the pot cover and the pot body <NUM>, which form a triangular area. The projection of the center of mass of the pot cover on the horizontal plane lies in the projection of the pot body <NUM> on the horizontal plane, that is, the projection of the center of mass of the pot cover on the horizontal plane falls in the triangular area, and these three connection points form three stable support points. Under the weight of the pot cover, the pot cover can be stably supported on the pot body <NUM>. Even if the user moves or shakes the pot body <NUM>, the pot cover will not fall, thus avoiding the problem that the pot cover falls and breaks due to moving or shaking the pot body <NUM>.

Furthermore, based on the above embodiments, referring to <FIG>, another embodiment of the present invention also provides a cookware, in which the opening edge of the pot body <NUM> is provided with an outer flange, and the wall of the pot body <NUM> is connected with the outer flange through an arc-shaped connecting edge.

In this embodiment, the wall of the pot body <NUM> and the outer flange are connected by an arc-shaped connecting edge. When the pot cover is inserted at the opening edge of the pot body <NUM>, the cover body <NUM> of the pot cover will contact with the arc-shaped connecting edge. At this time, the arc-shaped connecting edge can increase the contact area between the cover body <NUM> and the pot body <NUM>, thereby improving the support stability between the cover and the pot body <NUM>. When the pot body <NUM> is moved or shaken, the problem that the pot cover falls due to the large displacement of the pot cover can be avoided.

Furthermore, based on the above embodiments, referring to <FIG>, another embodiment of the present invention also provides a cookware, wherein when the groove <NUM> is inserted at the opening edge of the pot body <NUM>, the arc-shaped connecting edge, the outer flange and the outer wall of the pot body <NUM> respectively contact with the inner wall of the groove <NUM>.

In this embodiment, the arc-shaped connecting edge, the outer flange and the outer wall of the pot body <NUM> are respectively in contact with the inner wall of the groove <NUM>.
