In this way, it is only necessary to simply drive the cover 30 to move back and forth to open the cover, and no spring is required to overcome the cover. 30 gravity is used to open the lid, so as to avoid the situation where the lid opening effect is unstable due to the poor adjustment of the spring force, and improve the reliability of the lid opening effect of the cooking utensil 200 . In addition, the lid opening operation of the cooking utensil 200 is arranged on the side, which improves the convenience of operation and brings a more comfortable operation experience to the user.

Specifically, the cover body 30 reciprocates between the first position and the second position; in the first position, the cover body 30 blocks the opening 161; in the second position, the cover body 30 is dislocated from the opening 161, and at least partially The side walls 16 overlap. Equivalently, the cover body 30 is movably arranged on the side wall 16. When the cover body 30 moves to the first position, it blocks the opening 161 to complete the cover closing action; when the cover body 30 moves to the second position, it is displaced from the opening 161 to open The opening 161 allows the inner pot assembly 210 to enter and exit the accommodating cavity 11 through the opening 161 to complete the lid opening action. Moreover, when the cover body 30 is in the second position, the cover body 30 overlaps with at least the side wall 16 , which means that when the cover body 30 moves away from the opening 161 , it will gradually match the shape of the side wall 16 , and finally match the shape of the side wall 16 . The walls 16 are overlapped, so that the cover body 30 is stored beside the side wall 16 after opening the opening 161 , and will not occupy too much space.

In some embodiments, the cover body 30 is flexible; in the first position, the cover body 30 is guided and deformed to match the shape of the opening 161 , so as to seal the blocking opening 161 ; in the second position, the cover body 30 is guided and deformed In order to match the shape of at least part of the side wall 16, so that the cover body 30 is parallel to at least part of the side wall 16, the cover body 30 can adapt its shape after opening the opening 161 to adapt to the shape of the side wall 16, so that the cover body 30 can be adapted to the shape of the side wall 16. 30 is accommodated beside the side wall 16 to prevent the cover body 30 from taking up too much space when it is displaced from the opening 161 , so that the cooking utensil 200 can be conveniently used.

Referring to 2-FIG. 4, further, a guide groove 13 is provided on the side of the base 12 facing the top cover 14, the guide groove 13 extends along the direction from the first position to the second position, and the cover body 30 is movably provided for in the guide groove 13. Equivalently, the guide groove 13 passing through the first position and the second position is preset on the base 12, and the cover body 30 is movably arranged in the guide groove 13, so that the limit cover body 30 can be guided through the guide groove 13, The flexible cover 30 can be changed to cover the opening 161 under the guidance of the guide groove 13 , or the cover 30 can be changed to overlap the side wall 16 under the guidance of the guide groove 13 . Alternatively, the side of the top cover 14 facing the base 12 is provided with a matching groove 15 , the matching groove 15 is extended along the direction from the first position to the second position, and the cover body 30 is movably arranged in the matching groove 15 . The groove 15 guides the cover body 30 to close and open the opening 161 .

Alternatively, a guide groove 13 is formed on the side of the base 12 facing the top cover 14, and the guide groove 13 is extended along the direction from the first position to the second position; The groove 15 extends along the direction from the first position to the second position, which is equivalent to that the guide groove 13 and the matching groove 15 are arranged in parallel.
