Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to an oil pot. Background Art

[0002] Chinese patent application publication number CN112278584A discloses a container cover with a high funnel and its protective device, and Chinese utility model announcement number CN217599260U discloses a container cover and its container. Although both have the function of adding oil through the funnel, when used in small-caliber containers, it is easy for the user to pour the oil in a hurry, and the oil overflows from the oil inlet channel of the funnel, which is inconvenient to use; at the same time, the function is relatively single, and it cannot meet the needs of brushing oil and spraying oil with an oil brush. Although brushing oil and spraying oil with an oil brush are not commonly used in people's daily cooking, occasionally brushing oil on food for grilling or spraying a small amount of olive oil on food is also a common function in modern life. Summary of the invention

[0003] In order to overcome the shortcomings of prior art oil cans that the oil is easily overflowed from the oil inlet channel of the funnel when the user is impatient to pour the oil, and that are inconvenient to use, the present invention provides a multifunctional oil can that has made creative improvements to the oil inlet channel of the funnel, effectively avoiding the phenomenon of oil overflowing from the oil inlet channel of the funnel when pouring the oil, and is more convenient to use.

[0004] The technical solution adopted by the present invention to solve its technical problem is:

[0005] A multifunctional oil pot comprises an oil pot body and a pot cover, wherein the oil pot body is sealingly connected to the pot cover, a high funnel is arranged on the upper part of the pot cover, a tubular oil outlet is sealingly connected to the pot cover, the pot cover is provided with a funnel oil inlet, the funnel oil inlet extends into the lower part of the pot body and is sealingly connected to a flexible tube, during the oil pouring operation, the flexible tube tilts as the entire oil pot tilts, and the flexible tube sags and deforms under the action of gravity so that its oil inlet channel gradually shrinks or even completely closes.

[0006] Furthermore, the axial and radial wall thicknesses of the flexible tube are the same.

[0007] Alternatively, the axial wall thickness of the flexible tube is different from top to bottom and gradually becomes thicker.

[0008] Alternatively, the radial wall thickness of the flexible tube is different, and gradually becomes thicker from the side far from the tubular oil outlet to the side close to the tubular oil outlet.

[0009] Alternatively, the flexible tube is a stepped tube from top to bottom, and the tube wall thickness of the upper part is smaller than the tube wall thickness of the lower part.

[0010] Alternatively, a counterweight is provided at the lower end of the flexible tube.

[0011] Furthermore, the pot cover and the high-mounted funnel are integrally cast.

[0012] Furthermore, a protective cover is hinged above the kettle lid, and when closed, the protective cover can shield and protect the tubular liquid outlet and the high funnel.

[0013] Preferably, the protective cover has a slot structure, and the slot structure is compatible with the clamping portion of an oil brush, a syringe or tweezers.

[0014] The pot cover is provided with a pot handle, and the lower part of the pot handle is connected with a spray pot or a measuring cup.

[0015] Preferably, the lower portion of the pot handle is threadedly connected to the upper end of the spray pot or the measuring cup.

[0016] The technical concept of the present invention is: when a flexible structure formed by a flexible material is connected to a rigid structure, under the action of gravity, the flexible material can be constrained by the connected rigid structure and a corresponding constrained bend occurs. This is because the rigid structure does not bend under the action of gravity, and the connection relationship between the rigid structure and the flexible structure will not change due to the action of gravity. Therefore, when the flexible structure formed by the connected flexible materials bends under the action of gravity, the connected rigid structure will constrain the flexible material accordingly at the connection, which has a decisive effect on the bending structural form of the flexible material; on the contrary, when the flexible structure formed by the flexible material changes in the relative direction of gravity and returns to a state where no bending occurs, the connected rigid structure will have an effect on the structural state recovery of the flexible material at the connection.

[0017] A flexible tube is sealed and connected to the oil inlet channel of the high-mounted funnel. The flexible tube can utilize the effect of gravity to automatically deform and shrink the oil inlet when the oil pot is tilted during the oil pouring operation until the oil inlet is completely closed, thereby preventing oil from overflowing from the funnel inlet channel during the overly hasty oil pouring operation; when the oil pot is kept in a normal horizontal position, the flexible tube will return to a tubular channel state under the action of gravity.

[0018] In addition, a small push spray pot or measuring cup is movably connected to the lower part of the oil pot handle; a removable oil brush, syringe or tweezers is movably attached to the upper protective cover of the funnel; the funnel has the functions of oiling with an oil brush and spraying oil.

[0019] The beneficial effects of the present invention are mainly manifested in: 1. It effectively avoids the phenomenon of oil overflowing from the oil inlet channel of the funnel when pouring oil, and is more convenient to use; 2. It is rich in functions, and has the functions of brushing oil with an oil brush and spraying oil, and effectively meets other functional requirements such as brushing oil with an oil brush and spraying oil.

[0023] The present invention will be further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0024] Reference Figure 1 to Figure 3 A multifunctional oil pot comprises an oil pot body 1 and a pot cover 2, the oil pot body 1 is sealedly connected to the pot cover 2, a high funnel 2b is arranged on the upper part of the pot cover, a tubular oil outlet 3 is sealedly connected to the pot cover 2, the pot cover is provided with a funnel oil inlet 2a, the funnel oil inlet 2a extends into the lower part of the pot body and is sealedly connected to a flexible tube 8, when pouring oil, the flexible tube tilts with the tilt of the entire oil pot, and the flexible tube sags and deforms under the action of gravity so that its oil inlet channel is gradually reduced or even completely closed.

[0025] Furthermore, the axial and radial wall thicknesses of the flexible tube are the same.

[0026] Alternatively, the axial wall thickness of the flexible tube is different from top to bottom and gradually becomes thicker.

[0027] Alternatively, the radial wall thickness of the flexible tube is different, and gradually becomes thicker from the side away from the tubular oil outlet 3 to the side close to the tubular oil outlet 3 .

[0028] Alternatively, the flexible tube is a stepped tube from top to bottom, and the tube wall thickness of the upper part is smaller than the tube wall thickness of the lower part.

[0029] Alternatively, a counterweight is provided at the lower end of the flexible tube.

[0030] The pot cover 2 and the high funnel 2b are integrally cast.

[0031] A protective cover 4 is hinged on the top of the pot cover 2. When closed, the protective cover 4 can shield and protect the tubular liquid outlet 3 and the high funnel 2b.

[0032] Preferably, the protective cover 4 has a slot structure 4a, and the slot structure 4a is adapted to a snap-on portion 5a of an oil brush 5, a syringe or tweezers.

[0033] More preferably, the protective cover 4 is provided with an operating handle 4b, and this design facilitates the operation of the protective cover.

[0034] The pot cover 2 is provided with a pot handle 6, and the lower part of the pot handle 6 is connected with a spray pot 7 or a measuring cup.

[0035] Preferably, the lower part of the kettle handle 6 is threadedly connected to the upper end of the spray pot 7 or the measuring cup; for example, an internal threaded hole is provided at the lower part of the kettle handle 6, and a connecting screw is provided at the top of the spray pot 7 or the measuring cup. Of course, other connection methods can also be used.

[0036] Figure 2 As shown in FIG. 1 , when pouring oil, as the oil pot body 1 and the pot cover 2 tilt toward the tubular oil outlet 3, the funnel oil inlet 2a with the flexible tube 8 also tilts, and the flexible tube 8 sags and deforms under the action of gravity, narrowing its oil inlet channel. When it tilts to a horizontal position, as shown in FIG. Figure 3 As shown, the flexible tube sags and deforms under the action of gravity, so that its oil inlet passage is completely closed; in this solution, the flexible tube 8 plays the function of a "one-way valve" during the oil pouring operation.

[0037] Figure 3 The figure shows the case where the setting α of the funnel oil inlet 2a is 90°. When α is greater than 90°, the flexible tube has already drooped and deformed under the action of gravity when the oil pot is not tilted to a horizontal state, causing its oil inlet channel to be completely closed. Continuing to tilt it will only put it in a completely closed state.

[0038] The axial and radial wall thicknesses of the flexible tube of this embodiment may be the same, or may be uneven. When tilted, the flexible tube will bend correspondingly under the action of gravity. The working principle is that the bendability of the flexible tube is inversely proportional to the wall thickness, that is, the thicker the tube, the less likely it is to bend, and vice versa. Therefore, when the wall thickness of the hollow tube made of flexible material increases to a certain extent, it may not be able to bend and deform under the action of its own gravity, and can be used as a relatively rigid structure.

[0039] Whether the flexible tube of this embodiment bends at a specific location also depends on the relative direction and size of the gravity at its extended end, that is, the greater the gravity at the extended end, the easier it is to bend. Based on this principle, adding a counterweight in the direction of the extended end will make it easier for the flexible tube to bend. The counterweight can be the same material with increased thickness or a special counterweight attached, and in particular, a hollow ring counterweight with increased density can be used.

[0040] Thus, according to the above principle, it is possible to design a flexible tube structure that can quickly bend and close the internal channel under the action of gravity, and quickly restore the internal channel after gravity returns to the direction of straightening the tube wall. This characteristic structure of the present invention can actually be used in other fields that require selective one-way fluid control.

[0041] As a common sense, the inner diameter of the flexible pipe used in the present invention can be constant, or it can be changed along the length of the pipe as required.

[0042] The protective cover 4 has a slot structure 4a that can be adapted to the clamping portion 5a of the oil brush 5 for movement and restriction, and can also use a magnetic attraction structure, a hook hanging structure, etc. In addition to the oil brush, the restricted object can also be a syringe, tweezers and other uncommon objects.

[0043] As an alternative to the spray pot 7, a measuring cup with a corresponding threaded portion at the opening can also be used. Like the spray pot, it is a daily necessity with a low frequency of daily use. It is wasteful to store one specifically and often no one knows where it is. The measuring cup of this solution just solves this problem.

[0044] The contents described in the embodiments of this specification are merely enumerations of implementation forms of the inventive concept and are for illustrative purposes only. The protection scope of the present invention should not be considered to be limited to the specific forms described in this embodiment, and the protection scope of the present invention also extends to equivalent technical means that can be thought of by ordinary technicians in this field based on the inventive concept.
