Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of cooking tools, in particular to a stackable cookware. Background Art

[0002] A Chinese patent with announcement number CN212415450U discloses a stackable pot, which includes a pot body and a handle connected to the pot body, a groove is provided on the upper end surface of the handle close to one end of the pot body, a boss is provided on the lower end surface of the handle close to one end of the pot body and is plugged into the groove, a through hole is horizontally opened at the end of the handle away from the pot body, a buckle ring is rotatably provided in the through hole, the buckle ring can be flipped upward to buckle the end of the handle stacked on top, and a protrusion is also convexly provided on the upper end surface of the handle to prevent the buckle ring from detaching.

[0003] When stacking the cookware, it is necessary to first stack one handle on the other handle, and align the groove on the handle with the boss of the other handle for insertion to limit the movement of the handles, and then flip the buckle ring on one of the handles and buckle it to the other handle. The weight of the cookware body is greater than the handle. The function of the buckle ring is to prevent the cookware body from flipping over with the contact point between the handle and the lower handle as the fulcrum when the cookware is stacked statically. The function of the groove and the boss is to limit the upper handle from sliding to the sides or downward along the lower handle. In this way, the cookware can be stacked as a whole and is very stable. However, the buckle ring is an additional installation component during the production process of the cookware, and it is necessary to produce the buckle ring additionally and increase the steps of installing the buckle ring, which leads to increased production costs. Therefore, there is still room for improvement in the stacking structure of the cookware. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of the disadvantage that existing stackable cookware needs to additionally produce and install buckle rings when producing handles, which increases production costs, the purpose of the utility model is to provide a stackable cookware capable of reducing the production cost of handles.

[0005] In order to solve the above technical problems, the utility model is solved by the following technical solutions:

[0006] A stackable cookware comprises a cooker body and handles, wherein the handles are provided with a first limiting portion which limits the upper handle from being separated from the lower handle when the two handles are stacked, and a second limiting portion which limits the upper handle from sliding or deflecting relative to the lower handle, wherein the first limiting portion comprises a slot which is vertically penetrated through the ends of the handles and an insert block which protrudes downward from the ends of the handles, wherein when the two handles are stacked on each other, the insert block on the upper handle is inserted into the slot of the lower handle, and a limiting piece is protrudingly provided on the side wall surface of the slot away from the cooker body and close to the upper end surface of the handles, wherein the insert block is provided with a lap block which overlaps the lower end surface of the limiting piece when the insert block is inserted into the slot, and wherein after the insert block overlaps the limiting piece, the insert block can only be flipped upward to be separated from the through slot with the contact point between the two as a fulcrum, and a rotation gap is reserved between the slot and the insert block for the insert block to be flipped.

[0007] By adopting the above scheme, the mass of the pot body is greater than the handle. When two pots are stacked, the upper pot body is in a suspended state. At this time, the pot body will use the contact point of the handles as a fulcrum to generate a lever force to flip over. In this scheme, when the upper handle flips over, the overlap block will approach from the bottom of the limit block and press against the limit block to limit the flipping of the pot body; in this scheme, the plug block, slot, overlap block and limit piece on the handle can be integrally arranged with the handle. Therefore, when producing the handle, it can be integrally formed by casting or injection molding, without the need for additional production and installation of accessories, thereby simplifying the production process and reducing production costs. Production cost; in terms of the way of taking and putting the pots, when stacking the existing pots, people need to first align the boss of the upper handle with the groove of the lower handle for insertion, and use one hand to hold the end of the handle to prevent the pot body from turning over, and then use the other hand to flip the buckle ring up and buckle the end of the handle. When stacking the pots in the present scheme, people only need to hold the handles to make the pot as a whole vertical or inclined and insert the insert block into the slot of the lower handle, and then gradually lower the handle until it abuts against the lower handle. The whole process only needs one-handed operation. Therefore, the pot stacking action in the present scheme can be completed with one-handed operation, and the operation steps are simpler.

[0008] Preferably, the second limiting portion includes a limiting groove recessed in the upper end surface or the lower end surface of the handle and a matching protrusion convexly provided on the lower end surface or the upper end surface of the handle. When the two handles are stacked, the matching protrusion on one handle engages with the limiting groove on the other handle.

[0009] By adopting the above scheme, the grooves and bosses provided on the handles in the prior art play the role of pre-positioning when stacking and limiting the handle at the top after stacking. The grooves and bosses on the handles need to be aligned and snapped together for stacking. In the present scheme, the limiting grooves and the matching protrusions are respectively provided on the upper and lower end surfaces of the handles. According to the operation method of the above scheme, the process of lowering the handles is to gradually flip downward with the end of the handles as the fulcrum. When the two handles are in contact, that is, when the limiting grooves and the matching protrusions are in contact, the steps of alignment and snapping are omitted, making the stacking process of the cookware simpler.

[0010] Preferably, the insert block is provided with a third limiting portion for reducing the fitting clearance at the ends of the handles when the two handles are stacked to make the fitting more stable.

[0011] Preferably, the third limiting portion includes a matching block protruding from the insert block, and when the two handles are stacked, when the upper handle is flipped or moved downward, the lower end surface of the matching block of the upper handle abuts against the upper end surface of the handle of the lower handle.

[0012] Preferably, the upper end surface of the handle and the lower end surface of the matching block are both planes.

[0013] Preferably, the matching blocks are arranged on both sides of the inserting block or on the side of the inserting block facing away from the overlapping block.

[0014] With the above scheme, according to the aforementioned force-bearing mode of the pot body, since the ends of the upper handle and the lower handle are always in a suspended state when the pots are stacked statically, people pressing the handles downward will cause the handles to bounce. The matching blocks in this scheme fill the gap between the upper and lower handles, which can reduce this bouncing phenomenon and increase the stability of the stacked pots.

[0015] The utility model has significant technical effects due to the adoption of the above technical solutions:

[0016] 1. In this solution, the insert block, slot, overlap block and limit piece on the handle can be integrated with the handle. Therefore, when producing the handle, it can be integrally formed by casting or injection molding, without the need for additional production and installation of accessories, thereby simplifying the production process and reducing production costs.

[0017] 2. When stacking the cookware in the present solution, people only need to hold the handle to make the cookware as a whole vertical or inclined and insert the insert block into the slot of the lower handle, and then gradually lower the handle until it abuts against the lower handle. During the process of flipping and lowering the upper handle, the protrusion naturally snaps into the limit groove. Compared with the prior art, the whole process only requires one-handed operation, and the process of aligning the groove and the protrusion and then snapping them together is omitted, making the stacking process of the cookware simpler.
