Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of cookware technology, and in particular to a rotatable hot pot cookware. Background Technology

[0002] Whether for family gatherings or small restaurants, the hot pot pot is the core cooking utensil, and its user experience and safety directly affect the dining experience. Fixed-bowl hot pots are the mainstream choice for families and small restaurants, but they are not ideal for the ease of picking up ingredients: The static structure of a regular fixed-bowl hot pot means that ingredients, once placed in the broth, tend to sink to the bottom due to their own weight and the convection of the broth. This is especially true for denser ingredients like meatballs, sliced ​​meat, and bean products, which tend to stick to the bottom, making them difficult to pick up quickly. This requires repeated retrieval with chopsticks and spoons, which is cumbersome and can easily lead to breakage, affecting the dining experience. Furthermore, manually retrieving ingredients requires frequent insertion into the hot broth, which can cause splattering and burns. Insufficient stirring or retrieving can also cause some of the sunken ingredients to overheat and burn, further reducing their texture. Summary of the Invention

[0007] Preferably, the rotating shaft and the output shaft are connected by a pin, and a limiting rotating plate is provided on the rotating shaft. There are two limiting rotating plates, and both limiting rotating plates are connected to the rotating pot layer, which is located on the upper part of the pot body.

[0008] Preferably, the pot body is provided with a rotating groove, which is adapted to the rotating protrusions on the rotating pot layer. Multiple sets of rotating protrusions are provided, and the multiple sets of rotating protrusions are configured as arc-shaped structures. The rotating protrusions are welded to the rotating pot layer, and the rotating pot layer is configured as a mesh structure.

[0009] Preferably, the rotating pot layer is connected to the lower limiting rotating plate by a key, and the rotating pot layer and the limiting rotating plate are provided with corresponding through holes.

[0017] Example Please see Figures 1-4 This invention provides a rotatable hot pot cooker, including a support base 1, a base plate 2, and a pot body 3. The pot body 3 is connected to the base plate 2, and the lower part of the base plate 2 is connected to the support base 1. The lower part of the support base 1 is provided with support legs 4. There are three support legs 4, which are arranged in a triangular pattern. All three support legs 4 are fixedly connected to the support base 1, which can be done by welding or bolting. The triangular distribution of support legs 4 can effectively improve the stability of the overall structure and prevent the pot body 3 from tipping over. The bottom of the support legs 4 can be provided with anti-slip pads to further enhance the anti-slip effect, making it suitable for scenarios where multiple people use the hot pot and frequently pick up ingredients.

[0018] The support base 1 and the base plate 2 are detachably connected for easy cleaning and maintenance. The base plate 2 is fixedly equipped with a mounting seat 5, which is compatible with the connecting seat 16 on the pot body 3. The connecting seat 16 is located at the lower part of the pot body 3. The pot body 3 and the base plate 2 are connected by threads. The threaded connection ensures both tightness and easy disassembly. A heating element is fixedly installed inside the base plate 2. The heating element can adopt existing heating structures such as heating wires or heating tubes to provide heat to the pot body 3 and realize the heating and cooking of food.

[0019] The connecting seat 16 passes through the bottom of the pot body 3. The connecting seat 16 is a cylindrical structure and is fixedly connected to the bottom of the pot body 3 by welding to ensure the connection is firm. A rotating shaft 6 is provided inside the connecting seat 16. One end of the rotating shaft 6 is connected to the mounting seat 5 through a coupling. The coupling can compensate for the coaxiality error between the rotating shaft 6 and the mounting seat 5 to ensure smooth rotation. The other end of the rotating shaft 6 is connected to the output shaft 7 of the small motor. The rotating shaft 6 and the output shaft 7 are connected by a pin. The pin connection method is simple and reliable, and easy to disassemble and maintain. The small motor is a micro DC motor, which is small in size and has moderate power, and is suitable for driving the rotating pot layer 9 to rotate.

[0020] Two limiting rotating plates 8 are fixedly installed on the rotating shaft 6, located at the upper and lower parts of the rotating shaft 6 respectively. Both limiting rotating plates 8 are connected to the rotating pot layer 9, which is located on the upper part of the pot body 3 and is specifically designed to hold hot pot ingredients. The rotation continuously turns the ingredients, fundamentally solving the problem of ingredients sinking to the bottom and being difficult to pick up. A rotating groove 10 is provided on the inner wall of the pot body 3, which is adapted to the rotating protrusions 11 on the rotating pot layer 9. Multiple sets of rotating protrusions 11 are evenly distributed on the outer side of the rotating pot layer 9. All rotating protrusions 11 are designed with an arc shape, which reduces resistance during rotation, making the rotation more stable and preventing food from spilling due to shaking. It also prevents food from sticking to the rotating pot layer 9. The rotating protrusions 11 and the rotating pot layer 9 are connected by welding, making the connection firm and not easy to fall off. The rotating pot layer 9 is designed with a mesh 15 structure. The mesh 15 structure does not hinder the flow of hot pot soup base and heat transfer, and allows food to fully contact the soup base during rotation, achieving uniform heating. At the same time, it prevents food from sinking to the bottom, making it convenient for users to pick up at any time and improving the convenience of dining.

[0021] The rotating pot layer 9 is connected to the lower limiting rotating plate 8 by a key. This key connection ensures that the rotating pot layer 9 and the limiting rotating plate 8 rotate synchronously, transmitting torque stably. The rotating pot layer 9 and the limiting rotating plate 8 are provided with corresponding through holes, which facilitate heat transfer and oil dripping. A connecting plate 13 is provided between the upper limiting rotating plate 8 and the rotating pot layer 9. The connecting plate 13 is designed with an arc-shaped structure, which is adapted to the inner wall of the pot body 3. The connecting plate 13 can enhance the structural strength of the rotating pot layer 9, prevent the rotating pot layer 9 from deforming, and at the same time assist in pushing the food to stir-fry, improving the stir-frying effect. Both the upper and lower limiting rotating plates 8 are located on the upper part of the pot body 3, which play a role in limiting and fixing the rotating pot layer 9, preventing the rotating pot layer 9 from shifting during rotation.

[0022] A connecting sleeve and a sealing gasket are provided between the connecting seat 16 and the rotating shaft 6. The connecting sleeve is used to ensure the smooth rotation of the rotating shaft 6. The sealing gasket is made of high-temperature resistant and corrosion-resistant silicone material, which can effectively prevent soup and grease in the pot body 3 from entering the connecting seat 16 and the rotating shaft 6, avoid parts corrosion and jamming, and extend the service life of the equipment. A protective cover 14 is provided on the outside of the small motor. The protective cover 14 is made of high-temperature resistant plastic or metal material to protect the small motor from external impact damage and prevent dust and oil from entering the motor. The upper part of the protective cover 14 is provided with heat dissipation holes, which are evenly distributed on the upper part of the protective cover 14. These holes can dissipate the heat generated by the motor during operation in time, prevent the motor from overheating and damage, and extend the service life of the motor.

[0023] The pot body 3 has a switch on its exterior. The switch is electrically connected to the small motor and heating element. The switch can be a knob or a button. It is used to control the start and stop of the small motor and adjust its speed, as well as the heating status and heating power of the heating element, to adapt to the cooking needs of different ingredients. The surface of the switch can be coated with a waterproof coating to prevent soup from splashing during cooking and causing short circuits, thus improving safety.

[0024] In use, pour the hot pot broth into the pot body 3, place various hot pot ingredients on the rotating pot layer 9, and turn on the heating element and small motor by switching on the switch. The heating element generates heat, which is transferred to the pot body 3 and the rotating pot layer 9 through the base plate 2 to heat the broth and ingredients. The output shaft 7 of the small motor drives the rotating shaft 6 to rotate, and the rotating shaft 6 drives the two limiting rotating plates 8 to rotate synchronously. The limiting rotating plates 8 drive the rotating pot layer 9 to rotate smoothly. The rotating protrusions 11 on the rotating pot layer 9 slide in the rotating grooves 10 of the pot body 3 to ensure smooth rotation and prevent food from spilling. During the rotation of the rotating pot layer 9, the ingredients move synchronously and are continuously turned, effectively preventing the ingredients from sinking and sticking to the bottom. Users can easily pick up the ingredients without having to repeatedly fish them out, eliminating the risk of burns. The mesh structure 15 allows the broth to flow freely, and the heat penetrates evenly to all parts of the ingredients, preventing local overheating and burning, and improving the taste of the ingredients. After cooking, turn off the heating element and small motor by switching on the switch. After the pot body 3 cools down, the pot body 3 can be disassembled from the base plate 2 for easy cleaning.

[0025] Therefore, this invention employs a rotatable hot pot pot with a stable and reliable structure. The supporting base uses three triangularly distributed support legs, effectively preventing the pot from tipping over. By incorporating a rotating pot layer and a small motor drive mechanism, the small motor drives the rotating shaft, limiting rotating plate, and rotating pot layer to rotate synchronously and smoothly. The rotating pot layer carries the hot pot ingredients and continuously tumbles them, fundamentally solving the problems of ingredients sinking to the bottom and sticking to the pot bottom. Users can easily pick up ingredients without repeated retrieval, avoiding breakage during handling and eliminating the risk of burns from frequent insertion into the hot broth. The rotating pot layer uses a mesh structure, which does not affect the normal flow of the hot pot broth and heat transfer, ensuring even heating of the ingredients and preventing localized overheating and burning of ingredients that sink to the bottom, further improving the taste and balancing convenience and eating experience. A heating element is installed inside the base, with the pot body directly connected to the base. Heat can be quickly transferred to the pot body and rotating pot layer, reducing energy waste and improving cooking efficiency.
