Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of wok technology, and in particular to a multi-functional wok. Background Technology

[0002] A multi-functional wok is a type of cookware that can be used for stir-frying, pan-frying, stewing, and making soup, among other cooking methods. Due to its high degree of functional integration, it is widely used in homes and restaurants.

[0003] In daily use, different cooking methods place significantly different demands on the user's attention. During stir-frying, ingredients need frequent turning, and the heat changes rapidly. Users typically stand beside the pan, observing the contents closely, thus minimizing the risk of burning or drying out. However, in scenarios requiring prolonged heating, such as frying, simmering, or making soup, users often don't remain constantly by the pan. Instead, they use the heating time to handle other household chores or work, completely diverting their attention from the pan. As heating continues, the liquid in the pan gradually evaporates. If the heat isn't turned off or water isn't added in time, burning or drying out can easily occur, not only ruining the food but also potentially causing damage to the pan itself or even a fire hazard.

[0004] To address this issue, some wok products are now equipped with temperature detection and alarm devices. When an abnormally high temperature is detected at the bottom of the wok or when it reaches the critical point of burning dry, a buzzer will sound as a warning. However, in actual use, users may be busy with other things, in a room far from the kitchen, or in a noisy environment. The simple alarm sound can easily be ignored or not heard at all, rendering the warning ineffective and failing to truly prevent burning dry accidents.

[0005] Therefore, how to enable a multi-functional wok to effectively and reliably remind people who are busy with other tasks during the frying and cooking process, and prevent it from burning or drying out, has become an urgent problem to be solved in this field. Summary of the Invention

[0006] This invention addresses the shortcomings of existing technologies by providing a multifunctional wok. This application incorporates a wearable device on the wok, reminding the user to wear it during steaming or boiling. Furthermore, after the user leaves the kitchen, the device relays the wok's status to the user, allowing them to be immediately aware of the wok's condition.

[0007] To solve the aforementioned technical problems, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a multi-functional wok, comprising a wok body, on which a wearable device is mounted and locked by a locking unit. The locking unit automatically unlocks after the wok body is heated to a set temperature, allowing the wearable device to be removed from the wok body and worn by the operator. The wearable device includes a wireless communication module and an alert module. The wireless communication module is used to connect with a control unit on the wok body to transmit wok body information. The alert module is used to alert the operator when the wok body temperature is abnormal.

[0008] Its beneficial effects are as follows: by wearing the wearable device on the user and wirelessly connecting the wearable device to the pot, the wearable device can notify the user when the pot experiences abnormal temperature, thus ensuring the safe use of the wok.

[0009] In the above scheme, preferably, the pot body is provided with a handle, and the handle is provided with a temperature sensor. After the pot body is heated, the temperature sensor controls the power supply to the control unit located in the handle so that the control unit can start working.

[0010] In the above scheme, preferably, the handle is provided with a sensing device for identifying whether the handle is being held, and a second reminder module is also provided on the handle. The second reminder module emits an audible or visual reminder after the sensing device has not detected a holding for a set time.

[0011] In the above scheme, preferably, the wearable device is a ring device, which is provided with a first contact point and a second contact point. After the wearable device is worn on the finger, the first contact point and the second contact point are electrically connected through the finger conduction, so that the wearable device can be powered on and work.

[0012] In the above scheme, preferably, the handle part is provided with a slot hole, the wearable part is inserted into the slot hole, a locking tongue is guided and slidably arranged in the slot hole, and a matching locking hole is provided on the slot hole. The position of the locking tongue relative to the slot hole is controlled by the temperature of the pot body to lock or unlock the wearable part.

[0013] In the above-described scheme, preferably, a transparent block is provided on the handle, and a sliding member is slidably disposed below the transparent block, with multiple colors arranged sequentially along the sliding direction. A temperature control moving device is disposed at the rear end of the sliding member, which is used to align the sliding member with different colors according to the temperature of the pot, so as to indicate the current temperature of the pot.

[0014] Its beneficial effect is that users can judge the temperature of the pot by observing the color below the transparent block, so that users can accurately control the temperature of the pot.

[0015] In the above scheme, preferably, the temperature control moving device includes a heat-conducting block, a piston tube, and a piston rod that is slidably disposed in the piston tube. The heat-conducting block is fixedly disposed on the outer wall of the pot body, the piston tube is disposed on the heat-conducting block, and the piston tube is pre-filled with air. After the pot body temperature rises, the reserved air expands and pushes the piston rod to move.

[0016] In the above scheme, preferably, the sliding channel of the sliding member is provided with a guide groove, and an inclined block is slidably arranged in the guide groove. The inclined block is connected to the locking tongue through a zipper. The sliding member can move to contact the inclined surface of the inclined block so as to make it descend, thereby controlling the movement of the locking tongue to unlock.

[0017] In the above scheme, preferably, the guide groove is located behind the transparent block so that when the sliding member contacts the inclined block, the temperature of the pot body has already risen to more than 50 degrees Celsius.

[0018] In the above scheme, preferably, the locking tongue is elastically guided and slidably disposed on the slot hole, and the end facing the insertion of the wearable device is inclined, so that the wearable device can be inserted into the slot hole at any time.

[0019] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: This invention provides a multifunctional wok with an integrated temperature recognition function in the handle, providing real-time and intuitive feedback on the wok's internal status, helping to accurately control the heat and improve the quality of dishes. It is also equipped with wearable devices that immediately alert the user when the wok overheats or experiences other abnormalities, overcoming limitations of line of sight and distance.

[0025] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments: Example 1:

[0026] See Figures 1-5A multi-functional wok includes a wok body 1 and a wearable accessory 2 detachably mounted thereon. The wok body 1 includes a wok main body and a steaming rack 12 that can be mounted on the wok main body, so that the wok body 1 can be used for stir-frying, and the wok can be used for steaming when the steaming rack 12 is mounted on the wok main body. The wok body also includes a lid 13, which is used to seal the upper opening of the wok body to form a closed space inside the wok body.

[0027] The pot body 1 is provided with a handle 11 for users to hold. The surface of the handle 11 is covered with a rubber part to improve the grip feel, and multiple pressure switches are evenly distributed in the rubber part. When the user holds the handle 11, he / she can emit a grip signal to identify whether the operator is holding the handle 11.

[0028] The handle portion 11 has a slot hole 112 at its tail for inserting the wearable component 2. One or more peripheral walls of the slot hole 112 have sliding holes 114. A locking tongue 113 is elastically guided and slidably disposed in the sliding hole 114, and a limiting member is provided on the locking tongue 113 to restrict its insertion into the slot hole 112. The wearable component 2 has a locking hole 23. When the wearable component 2 is inserted into the slot hole 112, the locking hole 23 is aligned with the locking tongue 113, and the locking tongue 113 is inserted into the locking hole 23, thereby locking the wearable component 2 onto the handle portion 11.

[0029] The locking tongue 113 has an inclined surface at one end facing the opening of the slot hole 112. When the wearable device 2 is inserted into the slot hole 112, the wearable device 2 abuts against the inclined surface of the locking tongue 113, thereby elastically pushing the locking tongue 113 into the side wall of the slot hole 112, so that the wearable device 2 can be smoothly inserted into the slot hole 112. After insertion, the locking tongue 113 elastically extends under the action of elastic force, so as to automatically lock the wearable device 2.

[0030] The wearable component 2 is a ring. When the wearable component 2 is locked onto the handle portion 11, it acts as a hook so that the pot body 1 can be hung on the hook. When it is removed from the handle portion 11, it is worn on the user's finger to receive information about the pot body during use.

[0031] The handle 11 is equipped with a temperature sensor 111, which is a common temperature-sensitive deformation sheet, i.e., a bimetallic sheet, which can automatically deform when a set temperature is reached. The temperature sensor 111 is located near the outer wall of the pot body 1. When the pot body is heated, the temperature of the pot body 1 rises rapidly, and the temperature sensor 111 deforms due to heat, thereby activating the control circuit configured in the handle 11 so that the control unit can start working.

[0032] The wearable device 2 is equipped with a wireless communication module and communicates with the control unit located in the handle 11 via wireless signal. The two can exchange information when powered on.

[0033] The wearable device 2 is equipped with a reminder module, and the handle 11 is equipped with a second reminder module. When the reminder module is powered on, it can provide sensory reminders through sound, vibration or light, and one or more reminders can be selected to be provided simultaneously.

[0034] The inner ring of the wearable device 2 is provided with a first contact point 21 and a second contact point 22, which are connected to enable the wearable device 2 to operate. That is, in the normal state, the wearable device 2 is in a de-energized state. When the wearable device 2 is worn on the user's finger, the first contact point 21 and the second contact point 22 are connected through the finger, thereby enabling the wearable device 2 to start working.

[0035] A slider 14 is slidably disposed within the handle portion 11, and a guide groove 141 is vertically formed on the sliding channel of the slider 14. An inclined block 16 is elastically guided and slidably disposed within the guide groove 141. When the slider 14 moves backward, it can abut against the inclined block 16, causing the inclined block 16 to descend. The inclined block 16 is connected to the locking tongue 113 via a zipper. Thus, when the inclined block 16 descends, the locking tongue 113 is simultaneously pulled and retracted into the side wall of the slot hole 112 to unlock the wearable device 2.

[0036] The sliding member 14 is controlled by the temperature control moving device 15 to slide within the sliding channel. The temperature control moving device 15 includes a heat-conducting block 151, a piston tube 152, and a piston rod 153. The heat-conducting block 151 abuts against the outer wall of the pot body 1, so that the temperature of the pot body 1 can be quickly transferred to the heat-conducting block 151. One end of the piston tube 152 is fixedly disposed on the heat-conducting block 151, and the piston rod 153 is slidably disposed within the piston tube 152. The front end of the piston rod 153 is connected to the sliding member 14.

[0037] In the initial state, when the pot body 1 is not heated, air remains in the space between the piston rod 153 and the rear end face of the piston tube 152. After the pot body 1 is heated, the heat conduction of the heat-conducting block 151 causes the remaining air to expand, thereby moving the piston rod 153 backward, which in turn drives the sliding member 14 to move backward. After the sliding member 14 moves backward a certain distance, its front end presses against the inclined surface of the inclined block 16, causing the inclined block 16 to descend, which in turn begins to pull the locking tongue 113 back into the end wall of the slot hole 112, thereby automatically unlocking the wearable device 2.

[0038] The sliding member 14 needs to move a certain path before it can contact the inclined block 16, thereby unlocking the wearable member 2. This prevents the wearable member 2 from being removed from the handle 11 when the pot body 1 is at room temperature; it can only be removed after the pot body 11 exceeds a set temperature. In this application, the set temperature range is greater than 50 degrees Celsius and less than 70 degrees Celsius. The deformation temperature of the temperature sensor 111 is between 40 and 50 degrees Celsius. Therefore, the wearable member 2 is unlocked only after the control unit of the pot body is powered on.

[0039] The slot hole 112 is also equipped with an elastic locking ball, and the wearable part 2 has a matching hemispherical hole, so that after the locking tongue 113 unlocks the wearable part 2, the elastic locking ball can still elastically lock the wearable part 2 to prevent the wearable part 2 from falling off by itself. Only when a pulling force is applied can the wearable part 2 be removed from the slot hole 112.

[0040] The second reminder module is designed to issue an audible or visual alert if the handle 11 is not held within a set time while the pot body 1 is heating. During normal stir-frying, the user holds the handle 11 for an extended period, while during steaming or boiling, the user typically does not hold it for long. Therefore, by setting the absence of holding the handle 11 within a set time as the condition for determining whether stir-frying is in progress, holding the handle 11 a second time within the set time is considered stir-frying, and no alert is issued. Conversely, if the handle 11 is not held a second time within the set time, it is determined that steaming or boiling is in progress, and the second reminder module activates to alert the user.

[0041] This prompt instructs the user to remove the wearable device 2 from the handle 11. After the second reminder module issues a reminder, it remains in a reminder state. Only after the user removes the wearable device 2 and puts it on their finger can the device be powered on. At this time, the wireless signal on the wearable device 2 communicates with the control unit located in the handle 11. The control unit can only stop the second reminder module from operating after receiving the signal from the wearable device 2. This ensures that the user is correctly wearing the wearable device immediately upon detecting that the user is performing steaming or boiling operations.

[0042] The control unit is also equipped with a temperature sensor to identify the temperature status of the pot body 1. When the temperature sensor detects an abnormal temperature of the pot body 1, that is, when the temperature rises sharply in a short period of time or exceeds the set maximum safety value, the control unit sends information to the wearable device 2. Then, the reminder unit on the wearable device 2 emits one or more reminder methods, such as sound, vibration, and light, to remind the user so that the user can immediately refocus their attention on the pot body 1 in use to ensure safe use.

[0043] After the pot body 1 is used, the wearable part 2 is reinserted into the slot hole 112. At this time, the temperature of the pot body 1 drops and the wearable part 2 is automatically locked.

[0044] Its working principle or usage method is as follows: When using the pot body 1, the pot body 1 is heated. At this time, the control unit inside the pot body 1 is powered on first, and then the wearable device 2 is unlocked.

[0045] When the system detects that the user has not held the handle 11 within the set time, it determines that the steaming process has started. At this time, the second reminder module continues to work and prompts the user. The second reminder module will only stop working after the user removes the wearable part 2 from the handle 11 and puts it on correctly, i.e., after the wearable part 2 is powered on and establishes a communication connection with the control unit.

[0046] Example 2:

[0047] This embodiment makes the following further improvements based on embodiment 1: A transparent block 115 is provided on the handle part 11. The transparent block 115 is located above the sliding channel of the slider 113. Multiple colors are arranged sequentially on the slider 113 along the sliding direction. When the slider 14 slides as the temperature of the pot body 1 rises, different colors are displayed on the transparent block 115. Thus, when the pot body is at different temperatures, the transparent block 115 displays different colors accordingly, so that the user can judge the temperature of the pot body 1 by the displayed colors.

[0048] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention, and are not intended to limit it. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some of the technical features. Such modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention.
