Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of cooking, and particularly to a cookware. Background Technology
[0002] When cooking, users are accustomed to placing the cookware with its axis aligned with the gas stove's axis. This method is simple and easy to align, and it ensures a balanced space for food within the cookware, preventing food from falling out. However, most cookware on the market, especially woks, features a single handle. The weight of the handle shifts the pot's center of gravity to one side. When users still place the cookware with its axis aligned with the gas stove's axis, the pot is actually under unbalanced load, making it prone to slipping or tipping over. This results in a poor user experience and even safety hazards such as spillage leading to gas leaks and burns. Summary of the Invention
[0003] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to overcome the defect of existing cookware that is prone to slipping, and to provide a cookware.
[0004] The present invention solves the above-mentioned technical problems through the following technical solution:
[0005] A cookware includes a body and a handle connected to the body, and a counterweight connected to the body, wherein the center of gravity of the cookware coincides with the axis of the body.
[0006] In this technical solution, by incorporating a counterweight connected to the main body, the center of gravity of the cookware coincides with the axis of the main body. This ensures stable support for the cookware when its axis is aligned with the burner's axis, preventing it from tipping over to the handle and improving the user experience. Furthermore, the added counterweight increases the cookware's weight, increasing the frictional force generated by the downward pressure of the cookware on the cookware support feet, thus reducing the probability of the cookware slipping.
[0007] Preferably, the body includes a mating portion, the shape of the counterweight portion matches the shape of the mating portion, and the counterweight portion gradually increases in thickness along the axial direction of the handle away from the handle.
[0008] Preferably, the body includes a first part and a second part, the handle is connected to the first part on the side away from the second part, and the mating part is located in the second part.
[0009] Preferably, the counterweight is formed at a partial location in the second part, and the counterweight extends along the axial direction of the handle away from the first part from the boundary location between the first part and the second part.
[0010] In this technical solution, considering the heating characteristics of gas stoves, the firepower can be either two-ring or three-ring. Looking at the load configuration from the center to the outer ring, the firepower gradually increases from the inside out. This allows the cookware to be thinner in the center and thicker towards the outside, adapting to the firepower of the gas stove. Therefore, the gradual increase in the thickness of the counterweight along the direction away from the handle results in a more uniform temperature distribution in the cookware, leading to a better cooking experience.
[0011] Preferably, the body is the entire mating part, and the thickness of the counterweight part gradually increases from the edge of the body near the handle along the axis of the handle away from the handle.
[0012] Preferably, the counterweight covers the outer surface of the body.
[0013] In this technical solution, viewed from the inside of the cookware, the inner surface of the main body is used to hold food, especially when the counterweight partially covers the main body. By covering the outer surface of the main body with the counterweight, hard-to-clean corners inside the main body can be avoided, and the spatula can be prevented from hitting the counterweight during cooking. Viewed from the outside of the cookware, since the bottom of the pot contacts the corner pieces of the pot support, and multiple corner pieces provide effective support, covering the inner surface of the main body with the counterweight ensures symmetrical distribution on the back of the cookware, guaranteeing effective contact between the cookware and the corner pieces of the pot support, thus enhancing the stability of the cookware.
[0014] Preferably, the counterweight is disposed on the edge of the body away from the handle along the axial direction of the handle.
[0015] In this technical solution, by setting the configuration part relatively far away from the handle, the required size and weight of the configuration part can be reduced, thereby reducing the manufacturing cost of the cookware.
[0016] Preferably, the counterweight is a handle or a flange.
[0017] Preferably, the thickness of the body gradually increases from the center of the body toward the edge of the body.
[0018] In this technical solution, considering the heating characteristics of gas stoves, the firepower can be either two-ring or three-ring. The firepower gradually increases from the center to the outer rings, allowing the cookware to be thinner in the center and thicker towards the edges, thus adapting to the gas stove's firepower. Therefore, the gradually increasing thickness of the cookware along its center towards the edge results in more even temperature distribution and a better cooking experience.
[0019] Preferably, the counterweight is integrally formed with the main body.
[0020] The positive and progressive effects of this invention are as follows: By incorporating a counterweight connected to the main body, the center of gravity of the cookware coincides with the axis of the main body. This ensures stable support for the cookware when its axis is aligned with the burner's axis, preventing it from tipping over to the handle and improving the user experience. Simultaneously, the added counterweight increases the cookware's own weight, increasing the frictional force generated by the downward pressure of the cookware on the cookware support feet, thus reducing the probability of the cookware slipping.

[0031] Stove 200

[0033] The present invention will be further illustrated by way of embodiments below, but the present invention is not limited to the scope of the embodiments described herein.
[0034] Example 1
[0035] As shown in the figure, this embodiment provides a cookware 100, which includes a body 11 and a handle 12. The handle 12 is connected to the body 11. The cookware 100 also includes a counterweight 13, which is connected to the body 11. The center of gravity of the cookware 100 coincides with the axis of the body 11. By providing the counterweight 13, which is connected to the body 11, the center of gravity of the cookware 100 is aligned with the axis of the body 11. This ensures that when the axis of the cookware 100 is aligned with the axis of the burner, the cookware 100 receives stable support and will not tip over to the handle 12, improving the user experience. Simultaneously, by adding the counterweight 13, the weight of the cookware 100 is increased, increasing the frictional force generated by the downward pressure of the cookware 100 on the pot support feet, reducing the probability of the cookware 100 slipping.
[0036] In this embodiment, the body includes a mating part, and the shape of the counterweight 13 matches the shape of the mating part, with the counterweight 13 covering the surface of the mating part. The thickness of the counterweight 13 gradually increases along the direction away from the handle 12.
[0037] Of course, in other embodiments, the counterweight 13 can also be made into other shapes, as long as the counterweight 13 can be configured to cooperate with the handle 12 to make the center of gravity of the entire pot 100 coincide with the axis of the body 11.
[0038] Specifically, in this embodiment, the body 11 includes a first part and a second part. The handle 12 is connected to the side of the first part away from the second part, and the mating part is located in the second part, that is, the counterweight 13 covers the second part. Furthermore, in this embodiment, the mating part only occupies a portion of the second part; specifically, the counterweight 13 extends from the boundary between the first and second parts in a direction away from the first part. Considering the heating characteristics of a gas stove, the firepower can be either two-ring or three-ring. From the perspective of the load configuration from the center to the outer ring, the firepower gradually increases from the inside out. This allows the cookware 100 to be thinner in the center and thicker towards the outside, adapting to the firepower of the gas stove. Therefore, from the boundary between the first and second parts, along the direction away from the handle 12, the thickness of the counterweight 13 gradually increases, resulting in a more uniform temperature for the cookware 100 and a better cooking experience.
[0039] Of course, in other embodiments, the mating part can also be the entire second part, which will not be described in detail here.
[0040] In this embodiment, the first part and the second part are only used to distinguish the connection direction of the counterweight 13 and the handle 12. The first part and the second part are not two separate parts or two parts with a physical dividing line. In fact, the body 11 is a one-piece molded structure, and the same applies to the mating parts. At the same time, in this embodiment, the counterweight 13 and the body 11 are also one-piece molded.
[0041] In this embodiment, the counterweight 13 covers the outer surface of the main body 11 used for holding food. Viewed from the inside of the cookware 100, the inner surface of the main body 11 is used to hold food. By partially covering the main body 11 with the counterweight 13, it is possible to avoid hard-to-clean hygiene dead spots inside the main body 11, and also to prevent the spatula from hitting the counterweight 13 during cooking.
[0042] Of course, in other embodiments, the counterweight 13 may also cover the outer surface of the body 11. In this case, a pot support that matches the shape of the pot 100 is required so that the pot 100 can be stably placed on the pot support.
[0043] Meanwhile, in this embodiment, a stove 200 is also provided, which has a pot support and multiple corner pieces 21. The upper surface of the corner pieces 21 is designed to mimic the shape. When the axis of the pot support is aligned with the axis of the pot 100, the upper surface of the corner pieces 21 matches the shape of the bottom of the pot, ensuring that each corner piece 21 has two contact points with the bottom of the pot.
[0044] Specifically, in this embodiment, the number of corner pieces 21 is four.
[0045] Of course, in other embodiments, the number of corner pieces 21 may be three, five or more, which will not be elaborated here.
[0046] Example 2
[0047] This embodiment provides a cookware 100. The other structures of the cookware 100 in this embodiment are the same as those in Embodiment 1. The difference is that in this embodiment, the mating part is the entire body 11, that is, the counterweight part 13 completely covers the body 11. At the same time, the thickness of the counterweight part 13 gradually increases from the edge of the body 11 closest to the handle 12 in the direction away from the handle 12.
[0048] In this embodiment, the counterweight 13 covers the entire body 11, and there are no hard-to-clean corners between the edge of the counterweight 13 and the body 11. Therefore, the counterweight 13 can cover the inner surface of the body 11 used for holding food. From the outside of the cookware 100, since the bottom of the pot is in contact with the pot support corner pieces 21, the multiple corner pieces 21 provide effective support for the cookware 100. Therefore, by covering the inner surface of the body 11 with the counterweight 13, the back of the cookware 100 is symmetrically distributed, which ensures effective contact between the cookware 100 and the pot support corner pieces 21, enhancing the stability of the cookware 100.
[0049] Of course, in other embodiments, the counterweight 13 may cover the outer surface of the body 11 if it completely covers the entire body 11, which will not be described in detail here.
[0050] Example 3
[0051] This embodiment provides a cookware 100, whose handle 12 and body 11 are arranged the same as those in Embodiment 1. The difference is that in this embodiment, the counterweight 13 is disposed on the body 11 on a side relatively far away from the handle 12. By displacing the counterweight 13 relatively far away from the handle 12, the required size and weight of the counterweight 13 can be reduced, thereby lowering the manufacturing cost of the cookware 100.
[0052] Specifically, in this embodiment, the counterweight 13 is a handle or flange located on the edge of the body 11 away from the handle 12 along the axial direction of the handle 12.
[0053] Specifically, when the counterweight 13 is a handle, the number of handles can be set to one or more, and the specific location and size of the handle are determined according to the material and weight of the pot handle 12.
[0054] Similarly, when the counterweight 13 is a flange, the flange is connected to the edge of the body 11 away from the handle 12. The thickness of the flange and the circumferential extension length along the body 11 can also be determined according to the material and weight of the handle 12. The width of the flange can gradually decrease from the middle position of the flange to both sides to avoid sharp corners on both sides of the flange causing bumps.
[0055] Meanwhile, in this embodiment, the thickness of the body 11 gradually increases from its center towards its edge. Considering the heating characteristics of a gas stove, which typically has two or three rings of fire, and the firepower gradually increases from the center to the outer rings, the cookware 100 is thinner in the center and thicker towards the outside, thus adapting to the gas stove's firepower. Therefore, the gradual increase in thickness of the body 11 from its center towards its edge results in a more uniform temperature distribution in the cookware 100, leading to a better cooking experience.
[0056] The gas stove can be controlled by a voice module, which is equipped with a controller, a voice receiving module, and a voice parsing module. The voice receiving module receives user commands, and the voice parsing module parses the commands. Based on the parsed commands, the controller controls the gas stove to perform corresponding operations, thereby realizing intelligent control of the gas stove and improving the user experience.
[0057] While specific embodiments of the present invention have been described above, those skilled in the art should understand that these are merely illustrative examples, and the scope of protection of the present invention is defined by the appended claims. Those skilled in the art can make various changes or modifications to these embodiments without departing from the principles and essence of the present invention, but all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
