Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to an adaptive pot rack and belongs to the technical field of kitchen appliances. Background Art

[0002] In the technical field of kitchen appliances, in order to improve the thermal efficiency of the burner, an energy focusing ring is provided on the pot rack. The energy focusing ring has a ring structure, which is arranged around the burner and is located under the pot. The interval space between the energy focusing ring and the pot constitutes an energy focusing space, which can gather heat more effectively, so that the heat acts more concentratedly on the bottom of the pot, reducing lateral heat loss.

[0003] In the prior art, the size and shape of the energy focusing ring are fixed. When the cookware is too small, the interval between the cookware and the energy focusing ring will be too large, thereby deteriorating the energy focusing effect of the energy focusing ring. When the cookware is too large, the cookware and the energy focusing ring will come into contact with each other, and the energy focusing ring and the cookware will directly exchange heat, which will also cause the energy focusing effect to deteriorate. Only when the size specifications of the cookware and the energy focusing ring are matched, that is, when the size of the energy focusing space between the cookware and the energy focusing ring is appropriate, can the energy focusing effect be better exerted. Summary of the invention

[0004] The purpose of the present invention is to provide an adaptive pot rack which can match pots of any size and specification and has a good energy gathering effect.

[0005] The present invention is achieved through the following technical solutions.

[0006] An adaptive pot rack comprises a base surrounding a burner, and a pot support rack arranged on the base and used for supporting a pot;

[0007] And, a plurality of energy-gathering sheets rotatably connected to the base along the circumferential direction, a linkage structure acting on any two adjacent energy-gathering sheets is formed between the two, so that the plurality of energy-gathering sheets can rotate synchronously;

[0008] At least a portion of the energy gathering sheets are provided with spacers for resting against the cookware, so that the multiple energy gathering sheets rotate synchronously and expand radially to maintain the energy gathering space between the energy gathering sheets and the cookware. At least a portion of the energy gathering sheets are provided with elastic reset members for driving the multiple energy gathering sheets to rotate and radially retract to an initial position.

[0009] As a further improvement of the present invention, any one of the energy gathering sheets has an opening linkage portion on one side in the circumferential direction, which presses against the adjacent energy gathering sheet on the side along the radial opening direction, and has a closing linkage portion on the other side, which supports the adjacent energy gathering sheet on the side along the radial closing direction, and the opening linkage portion and the closing linkage portion cooperate to form the linkage structure.

[0010] As a further improvement of the present invention, for any two adjacent energy gathering sheets, the side edges of one of the energy gathering sheets at least partially abut against the surface of the other energy gathering sheet, and the side edge of one of the energy gathering sheets that provides the abutment constitutes the opening linkage portion, and the surface of the other energy gathering sheet that provides the abutment constitutes the closing linkage portion.

[0011] As a further improvement of the present invention, the energy concentrating sheet changes in an arc from one end close to the base to the other end far away from the base.

[0012] As a further improvement of the present invention, the energy concentrating sheet changes in an arc shape from one side to the other side in the circumferential direction.

[0013] As a further improvement of the present invention, the energy concentrating sheet has a horizontally arranged rotating shaft at one end close to the base, and the outer side of the base has a sleeve rotatably sleeved on the rotating shaft.

[0017] As a further improvement of the present invention, the bottom of the base has an air guiding surface surrounding the burner, and the air guiding surface gradually increases from the outer edge to the inner edge, and is used to guide the air between the base and the stove to converge toward the burner.

[0018] Beneficial effects of the present invention:

[0019] By arranging a linkage structure between any two adjacent energy gathering plates, the energy gathering plates connected to the base in a circumferential direction have the ability to rotate synchronously. When a cookware of any size is placed on the cookware support frame, the spacers on the energy gathering plates rest against the cookware and the energy gathering plates can rotate synchronously to a corresponding angle, so that the energy gathering plates can be radially opened to a corresponding degree. Sufficient energy gathering space can be maintained between the energy gathering plates and the cookware to gather the flame of the burner, reduce heat loss, and improve heating efficiency.

[0025] The present invention is further described in detail below based on the accompanying drawings and implementation examples.

[0026] The directional terms such as up, down, left, right, front, back, front, back, top, bottom, etc. mentioned or may be mentioned in this specification are defined relative to the structures shown in the drawings. The words "inside" and "outside" refer to the direction toward or away from the geometric center of a specific component, respectively. They are relative concepts, and therefore may change accordingly according to different locations and different usage conditions. Therefore, these or other directional terms should not be interpreted as restrictive terms.

[0027] An adaptive pot rack, referring to Figure 1-Figure 4 , which is used in a kitchen environment and is used in conjunction with a burner 3. The adaptive pot rack of this embodiment includes a base 1 and a plurality of energy-gathering sheets 2, wherein the base 1 is a flat ring structure and is arranged around the burner 3, and a pot support frame 11 is arranged on the base 1 to support the pot, so that there is enough combustion space between the pot and the burner 3.

[0028] A plurality of energy-gathering sheets 2 are connected to the base 1 in a circumferentially rotatable manner, and a linkage structure acting on any two adjacent energy-gathering sheets 2 is formed between the two, so that the plurality of energy-gathering sheets 2 can rotate synchronously. More specifically, the energy-gathering sheets 2 have two rotation directions. Since the plurality of energy-gathering sheets 2 rotate synchronously, the overall rotation of the energy-gathering sheets 2 is manifested as radial opening and radial contraction. It should be noted that the radial direction here corresponds to the annular structure formed by the base 1 and the plurality of energy-gathering sheets 2 as a whole from a top-down perspective.

[0029] At least a portion of the energy gathering sheets 2 is provided with a spacer 21. When the user places the cookware on the cookware support frame 11, the spacer 21 rests on the cookware. Due to the force exerted by the cookware, the spacer 21 causes multiple energy gathering sheets 2 circumferentially connected to the base 1 to rotate synchronously and expand radially to maintain the energy gathering space between the energy gathering sheets 2 and the cookware. At least a portion of the energy gathering sheets 2 is provided with an elastic reset member 22. After the user removes the cookware, the spacer 21 is no longer subjected to external forces. Under the action of the elastic reset member 22, multiple energy gathering sheets 2 are driven to rotate synchronously and radially retract to their original positions.

[0030] The adaptive pot stand of the present embodiment sets a linkage structure between any two adjacent energy gathering plates 2, so that these circumferentially rotatable energy gathering plates 2 connected to the base 1 have the ability to rotate synchronously. When pots of any size are placed on the pot support frame 11, the spacers 21 on the energy gathering plates 2 are against the pots and the energy gathering plates 2 can rotate synchronously to a corresponding angle, so that these energy gathering plates 2 can be radially opened to a corresponding degree, and sufficient energy gathering space can be maintained between the energy gathering plates 2 and the pot to gather the flame of the burner 3, reduce heat loss, and improve heating efficiency.

[0031] In this embodiment, any energy-gathering sheet 2 has an opening linkage part 2a on one side of the circumferential direction that presses against the adjacent energy-gathering sheet 2 on the side in the radial opening direction, and has a closing linkage part 2b on the other side that supports the adjacent energy-gathering sheet 2 on the side in the radial closing direction, and the opening linkage part 2a and the closing linkage part 2b that cooperate with each other form a linkage structure. When the cookware is placed on the cookware support frame 11, the spacer 21 presses against the cookware and is driven by the force of the cookware to drive the corresponding energy-gathering sheet 2 to rotate in the radial opening direction, and the opening linkage part 2a of the energy-gathering sheet 2 pushes the closing linkage part 2b of the corresponding adjacent energy-gathering sheet 2 in the radial opening direction, so that all the energy-gathering sheets 2 are linked to each other and radially open, and the elastic reset member 22 generates an elastic force on the energy-gathering sheet 2 in the radial closing direction, so that the spacer 21 always keeps pressing against the cookware, and then maintains the energy-gathering space between the energy-gathering sheet 2 and the cookware. After the cookware is removed, the energy gathering sheet 2 is only subjected to the elastic force of the elastic reset member 22. Under the elastic force of the elastic reset member 22, the energy gathering sheet 2 rotates in the radial contraction direction, and the contraction linkage portion 2b of the energy gathering sheet 2 pushes the opening linkage portion 2a of the corresponding adjacent energy gathering sheet 2 in the radial contraction direction, so that all the energy gathering sheets 2 are linked to each other and radially contracted to the initial position.

[0032] It should be noted that the structural relationship between adjacent energy gathering sheets 2, i.e. the structural relationship between the gathering linkage portion 2b and the opening linkage portion 2a, is such that among the multiple energy gathering sheets 2 rotatably connected to the base 1, any two adjacent energy gathering sheets 2 partially overlap each other, so that these energy gathering sheets 2 form an annular body in the overall structure, which is equivalent to the energy gathering ring in the prior art, and can effectively prevent heat from being lost between adjacent energy gathering sheets 2, thereby effectively ensuring the energy gathering effect on the cookware.

[0033] In the present embodiment, more specifically, of any two adjacent energy gathering sheets 2, the side edge of one of the energy gathering sheets 2 at least partially abuts against the surface of the other energy gathering sheet 2, and the side edge of one of the energy gathering sheets 2 that abuts constitutes an opening linkage portion 2a, and the surface of the other energy gathering sheet 2 that abuts constitutes a contracting linkage portion 2b.

[0034] In this embodiment, the energy gathering sheet 2 changes in an arc from one end close to the base 1 to the other end away from the base 1, which can reduce the gap width between the overlapping parts of two adjacent energy gathering sheets 2, thereby effectively suppressing the heat loss from between the retracted linkage part 2b and the open linkage part 2a, and improving the energy gathering effect of the energy gathering sheet 2.

[0035] In this embodiment, the energy gathering sheet 2 changes in an arc shape from one side to the other side in the circumferential direction, which can increase the length of the side of the energy gathering sheet 2 that effectively abuts against the surface of the corresponding adjacent energy gathering sheet 2, thereby reducing the gap between adjacent energy gathering sheets 2 to improve the energy gathering effect of the energy gathering sheet 2.

[0036] In the present embodiment, the energy gathering sheet 2 changes in an arc from one end close to the base 1 to the other end away from the base 1, and changes in an arc shape from one side in the circumferential direction to the other side, so that the energy gathering sheet 2 structurally presents a curved sheet structure with the middle part bulging outward, and its shape is adapted to the shape of the corresponding part of the cookware, which is beneficial to the energy gathering effect of the energy gathering sheet 2 on the cookware.

[0037] In this embodiment, the energy gathering sheet 2 has a horizontally arranged rotating shaft 23 at one end close to the base 1. The rotating shaft 23 can be fixedly connected to the energy gathering sheet 2 by a welding process, or can be manufactured by an integrated molding process to form an integrated structure of the rotating shaft 23 and the tail of the energy gathering sheet 2. A sleeve 13 is provided on the outer side of the base 1, and the sleeve 13 is slidably sleeved on the rotating shaft 23. The number of sleeves 13 is set according to the size of the energy gathering sheet 2 and the length of the rotating shaft 23. Through the sliding sleeve connection relationship between the rotating shaft 23 and the sleeve 13, the energy gathering sheet 2 can rotate in two directions of radial contraction and radial expansion.

[0038] In this embodiment, the elastic reset member 22 is arranged around the rotating shaft 23. The elastic reset member 22 can be specifically arranged as a torsion spring, one end of which is positioned on the energy gathering sheet 2, and the other end acts on the base 1. When the pot is placed on the pot support frame 11, and the energy gathering sheet 2 is driven to rotate by the spacer 21, the elastic reset member 22 stores elastic potential energy under torsion, and one end positioned on the energy gathering sheet 2 generates an elastic force in the radial contraction direction on the energy gathering sheet 2. When the pot is removed, the elastic force pushes the energy gathering sheet 2 to rotate in the radial contraction direction, and the elastic potential energy of the elastic reset member 22 is gradually consumed until the energy gathering sheet 2 rotates and returns to the initial position.

[0039] In addition, if some of the energy gathering sheets 2 are equipped with elastic reset elements 22 , the elastic reset elements 22 should be evenly distributed in the circumferential direction to avoid uneven elastic force on the energy gathering sheets 2 . Alternatively, each energy gathering sheet 2 may be equipped with an elastic reset element 22 .

[0040] In the present embodiment, the spacer 21 is extended along the stretching direction of the energy gathering sheet 2, where the stretching direction refers to the direction from one end of the energy gathering sheet 2 connected to the base 1 to the end away from the base 1. The spacer 21 has a fitting portion 211 that conforms to the shape of the bottom surface of the cookware and fits on the bottom surface of the cookware. The shape of the bottom surface of the cookware is an arc-shaped surface, so the fitting portion 211 presents an arc-shaped structure, which can increase the contact range between the spacer 21 and the cookware, which can not only avoid scratching the cookware, but also make it more stable under the action of the cookware.

[0041] The adaptive pot rack of this embodiment also includes a base support frame 12 arranged on the base 1, and the base support frame 12 is supported on the stove, thereby raising the horizontal height of the base 1, allowing air to flow from between the base 1 and the stove to the burner 3, thereby improving the combustion effect of the burner 3.

[0042] In this embodiment, the base support frame 12 is arranged on the bottom surface of the base 1, and the pot support frame 11 is arranged on the top surface of the base 1, and both are evenly distributed along the circumference of the base 1, so as to improve the balance of the support.

[0043] In this embodiment, the bottom of the base 1 has an air guiding surface 1s surrounding the burner 3, and the air guiding surface 1s gradually increases from the outer edge to the inner edge. After the air enters between the base 1 and the stove, it flows along the air guiding surface 1s, thereby guiding the air between the base 1 and the stove to converge toward the burner 3, thereby improving the efficiency of introducing air.

[0044] Finally, it should be noted that the above implementation cases are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention, rather than to limit it. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the aforementioned implementation cases, those skilled in the art should understand that they can still modify the technical solutions recorded in the aforementioned implementation cases, or make equivalent replacements for some of the technical features therein. However, these modifications or replacements do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the implementation cases of the present invention.
