Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to a kitchen appliance, and particularly to a cooktop pot rack and a cooktop applying the same.

Background Art

[0002] A cooktop is a commonly used kitchen cooking tool. Since people's requirements for kitchen utensils are getting higher and higher, cooktop panels are also increasingly made of materials such as glass to be more easily cleaned. However, when in use, the metal pot rack will be heated to a relatively high temperature due to its proximity to the flame. Since metal has a fast heat conduction speed, problems such as the high-temperature feet directly contacting the glass panel and causing it to burst may occur. Therefore, a pot rack support pad with heat insulation function has become one of the indispensable components.

[0003] The pot rack is usually made of metal and includes an annular support ring. A plurality of feet are provided on the support ring, and the support pad is arranged under the feet. In the prior art, the support pad is usually simply wrapped and attached to the bottom of the feet, and is prone to looseness or displacement after long-term alternating hot and cold, and the installation structure is not reliable.

Detailed Embodiments

[0030] To make the purpose, solutions and beneficial effects of the present application clearer, the present application will be further described below with reference to the drawings and preferred embodiments.

[0031] As Figure 1 shown, an embodiment of the present application discloses a cooker pot rack for supporting cookware. The cooker pot rack includes a support ring 1 and a plurality of foot pieces 2 arranged circumferentially on the support ring 1. A support pad 3 is provided on the bottom surface of the foot piece 2, and the support pad 3 is configured to be inserted into the foot piece 2 along the thickness direction of the foot piece 2.

[0032] Here, a certain explanation is made for the insertion direction. Taking the support ring 1 as a circle as an example, the direction along the thickness direction of the foot piece 2 refers to the tangent direction of the intersection of the circle where the support ring 1 is located and the straight line where the foot piece 2 is located (and at the same time isFigure 5 and Figure 7 in the X direction). The way of inserting and installing along the thickness direction of the foot piece 2 can limit the displacement of the support pad 3 in multiple directions (radial direction, up and down), avoiding the loosening and falling off of the support pad 3 that may occur in the long-term use environment.

[0033] According to an exemplary embodiment of the present application, as Figure 2 shown, the foot piece 2 is provided with a plugging hole 21 along its thickness direction; Figure 3 shows a perspective view of a support pad 3. As Figure 3 shown, the support pad 3 includes a bottom edge portion 31 and a first side portion 32 connected in an L shape. The bottom edge portion 31 is used to abut against the bottom edge of the foot piece 2 and is usually made of an elastic heat-insulating material, which can not only buffer the weight from the cookware and the pot rack, but also prevent high heat from being transferred to the cooktop panel and causing damage to it; the first side portion 32 is provided with a limiting post 33 extending along the thickness direction of the foot piece 2. The limiting post 33 can pass through and be inserted into the plugging hole 21 to fixedly connect the support pad 3 with the foot piece 2.

[0034] According to an exemplary embodiment of the present application, as Figure 3 shown, the limiting post 33 includes a limiting rod 331 and a limiting boss 332. One end of the limiting rod 331 is connected to the first side portion 32 and extends along the thickness direction of the foot piece 2 to the limiting boss 332 at the other end of the limiting rod 331. The limiting boss 332 is configured to easily pass through the plugging hole 21 and limit the displacement of the support pad 3 in the plugging direction, as Figures 4 to 7 shown. Thus, the support pad 3 is also fixed in the thickness direction of the foot piece 2, achieving a stable connection with the foot piece 2 in all directions.

[0035] According to an exemplary embodiment of the present application, as Figure 3 shown, the limiting boss 332 includes a first end face 332a connected to the limiting rod 331 and a second end face 332b away from the limiting rod 331. The diameter of the limiting boss 332 gradually decreases from the first end face 332a to the second end face 332b. When installing the support pad 3, the second end face 332b first contacts one end of the plugging hole 21. In order to facilitate the entry of the limiting boss 332 into the plugging hole 21, the diameter of the second end face 332b is smaller than the aperture of the plugging hole 21; as the limiting boss 332 continues to move along the thickness direction of the foot piece 2, the first end face 332 reaches the other end of the plugging hole 21. In order to prevent the support pad 3 from coming out in the plugging direction, the diameter of the first end face 332 is set to be larger than the aperture of the plugging hole 21.

[0036] Furthermore, the limiting post 33 is an elastic hollow structure. When the second end face 332b enters the plugging hole 21, the elastic hollow limiting boss 332 is more easily squeezed by the hole wall of the plugging hole 21 and becomes smaller, making the plugging process smoother.

[0037] Furthermore, the aperture diameter of the insertion hole 21 is not less than the diameter of the limiting rod 331. Preferably, the limiting rod 331 is in interference fit with the insertion hole 21, which is beneficial to improving the stability of the insertion.

[0038] According to an exemplary embodiment of the present application, the distance between the first end face 332a and the first side portion 32 in the insertion direction is close to the thickness of the foot piece 2. Thus, as Figure 5 shown, when the first end face 332a passes through the insertion hole 21, the foot piece 2 is jointly clamped by the first end face 332a and the first side portion 32 in its thickness direction, and the displacement of the support pad 3 in the insertion direction is completely limited.

[0039] According to an exemplary embodiment of the present application, as Figure 3 shown, the support pad 3 further includes a second side portion 34 opposite to the first side portion 32, and a third side portion 35 located between the first side portion 32 and the second side portion 34 and parallel to the thickness direction of the foot piece 2. At the same time, as Figure 2 shown, a relief space is left at the position of the second side portion 34 corresponding to the position of the limiting post 33 so that the limiting post 33 can be smoothly aligned with and enter the insertion hole 21. Similarly, a relief notch is left at the position of the foot piece 2 corresponding to the second side portion 34 so that the support pad 2 can move smoothly along the insertion direction during installation. The outer side surface of the third side portion 35 is flush with the outer side surface of the foot piece 2, so that the appearance of the cooking utensil pot rack looks more flat from the side.

[0040] According to an exemplary embodiment of the present application, the support pad 3 is made of an elastic heat-insulating material. Optionally, the bottom edge portion 31 is made of an elastic heat-insulating material, which can absorb and buffer the heat from the pot rack and the cooking utensil on the one hand, and prevent the cooking utensil panel from being damaged by overheating on the other hand.

[0041] The present application also proposes an embodiment of a cooking utensil, and this cooking utensil includes the above-mentioned cooking utensil pot rack. Further, this cooking utensil further includes a liquid receiving tray, the liquid receiving tray is arranged between the cooking utensil panel and the foot piece 2, and the support pad 3 is arranged between the liquid receiving tray and the foot piece 2.

[0042] The components of different embodiments can be combined with each other in any feasible way to achieve the purpose of the present application.

[0043] It should be additionally noted that the present application should not be understood as being limited to the above-described embodiments, but should be understood as covering all possible implementation cases determined by combining the claims of the present application with the content disclosed in the specification. Therefore, any simple modification, equivalent change and modification made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present application without departing from the technical solution of the present application all fall within the protection scope of the technical solution of the present application.
