[0027] The present application will be further described below in conjunction with the drawings and specific embodiments. It should be noted that the embodiments are only specific descriptions of the present application, and their purpose is to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solutions of the present application, and should not be regarded as a limitation of the present application.

[0028] In the description of the present application, it should be noted that the orientation or positional relationship indicated by terms such as "center", "upper", "lower", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "inner", "outer", etc. is based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the drawings. This is only for the convenience of describing the present application and simplifying the description, rather than indicating or implying that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, it should not be construed as a limitation to the present application.

[0029] An embodiment of the present application discloses an adapter for an outdoor cooking device. Referring to Figures 1-3 , it includes a main pipe interface 1 for communicating with a cooking device, a tee interface 2 rotatably connected to the main pipe interface 1, a propane interface 3 communicating with the tee interface 2, and a butane interface 4. The propane interface 3 and the butane interface 4 are used to communicate with corresponding gas cylinders.

[0030] By providing the propane interface 3 and the butane interface 4, different types of gas cylinders or liquefied gas tanks can be connected. The propane interface 3 is used to connect to propane gas cylinders and alpine gas cylinders, and the butane interface 4 is used to connect to butane gas cylinders, effectively solving the problem of limitations in fuel selection for outdoor gas stoves. Users can select the corresponding interface according to the current gas, which is beneficial to improving the user experience.

[0031] Among them, the main pipe interface 1 includes a main pipe 11 and a connector 12 sleeved at the end of the main pipe 11. The main pipe 11 and the connector 12 can be rotatably connected or fixedly connected; a receiving cavity 13 is formed between the connector 12 and the main pipe 11. A connecting portion 21 for extending into the receiving cavity 13 is provided at the end of the tee interface 2. One end of the connecting portion 21 away from the tee interface 2 is provided with a first elastic member 22. There is a gap between the first elastic member 22 and the bottom of the receiving cavity 13, and the gap is 2 mm - 3 mm. The propane interface 3 and the butane interface 4 are connected by the tee interface 2. The propane interface 3 and the butane interface 4 are arranged at a 90-degree angle. By rotating the tee interface 2, the corresponding interface can be rotated to a vertical state for installing the corresponding gas cylinder.

[0032] Since the connector 12 is directly inserted into the receiving cavity 13 to achieve their fixation, but due to the tension of the first elastic member 22 and the gap between the first elastic member 22 and the bottom of the receiving cavity 13, the tee interface 2 can rotate around the axis of the main pipe 11. It should be noted that the first elastic member 22 can be set as a spring.

[0033] In this embodiment, a first seal 5 is provided between the connecting portion 21 and the connecting head 12. A positioning groove 51 is provided on the outer wall of the connecting portion 21 or the inner wall of the connecting head 12. The first seal 5 is installed in the positioning groove 51 to achieve sealing between the connecting portion 21 and the connecting head 12. In addition, a second seal 6 is provided between the main pipeline 11 and the connecting portion 21, that is, a relief groove 61 is provided on the inner wall of the connecting portion 21 or the outer wall of the main pipeline 11. The second seal 6 is installed in the relief groove 61, thereby achieving sealing between the connecting portion 21 and the main pipeline 11 and improving the connection reliability between the two, preventing fuel from overflowing from the gap between the connecting portion 21 and the main pipeline 11, and effectively ensuring the use safety. It should be noted that both the first seal 5 and the second seal 6 can be set as rubber sealing rings.

[0034] In addition, both the propane interface 3 and the butane interface 4 include a branch pipeline 31 communicating with the tee interface 2 and a mating head 32 connected to the branch pipeline 31. By setting different mating heads 32, it can cooperate with different types of containers, and the part of the mating head 32 cooperating with the corresponding container is the same as the common structure in the prior art.

[0035] Specifically, a push rod 33, a second elastic member 34, and a movable block 35 are provided in the branch pipeline 31. An opening 36 is provided at the end of the branch pipeline 31 far from the tee interface 2. The diameter of the push rod 33 is smaller than the aperture of the opening 36. One end of the push rod 33 passes through the opening 36 and extends into the mating head 32. The other end of the push rod 33 has a gap with the bottom wall of the branch pipeline 31 and is connected to the second elastic member 34; the movable block 35 is fixedly provided on the push rod 33, and the outer diameter of the movable block 35 is larger than the aperture of the opening 36. When the movable block 35 is in the first working position, that is, the movable block 35 fits against the inner wall of the branch pipeline 31 under the tension of the second elastic member 34 to close the opening 36; when the movable block 35 is in the second working position, the second elastic member 34 is in a compressed state, and there is a gap between the movable block 35 and the inner wall of the branch pipeline 31. At this time, the opening 36 is in an open state.

[0036] When using this adapter 92 to connect the cooking device to the container storing fuel, first select the mating head 32 suitable for the container and install the container with the corresponding mating head 32. During the installation process, the container presses the push rod 33, and the push rod 33 moves in the direction away from the opening 36 under the external force, driving the movable block 35 to move. At this time, the opening 36 is in an open state, enabling the fuel in the container to enter the branch pipeline 31; and the movable blocks 35 in other branch pipelines 31 remain in the first working position to keep other branch pipelines 31 closed, preventing the fuel in the tee interface 2 from leaking.

[0037] When the combined mating head 32 is separated from the container, the ejector rod 33 and the movable block 35 move under the elastic force of the second elastic member 34, and the movable block 35 is switched to the first working position to avoid gas leakage; and when replacing the container, there is no need to disassemble the adapter 92 from the cooking device, effectively avoiding component loss.

[0038] Furthermore, a positioning rod 7 is provided on the tee joint 2. The positioning rod 7 is used to connect with the cooking device. The positioning rod 7 is located at one end of the tee joint 2 away from the main pipe joint 1, and can play a role in supporting and fixing the adapter.

[0039] In addition, the adapter further includes an indicating component 8. The indicating component 8 includes a fixed housing 81 for connecting with the cooking device and a connecting rod 82 fixedly connected to the tee joint 2. The other end of the connecting rod 82 is connected to an indicating mark 83. The indicating mark 83 is slidably matched with the fixed housing 81, and a third elastic member 84 is provided between the indicating mark 83 and the fixed housing 81. In this embodiment, the indicating mark 83 includes a mark B corresponding to the propane interface 3 and a mark P corresponding to the butane interface 4.

[0040] Since the connecting rod 82 is fixed on the tee joint 2, when the tee joint 2 rotates, it drives the connecting rod 82 to move, and the connecting rod 82 drives the indicating mark 83 to move downward in the fixed housing 81, so that the corresponding mark is displayed on the cooking device; when the tee joint 2 rotates again to be converted to another interface, the connecting rod 82 will return to the initial position, and the corresponding mark returns to the initial state under the action of the third elastic member 84.

[0041] Based on the above embodiments, the present application also discloses a cooking device, as Figure 4 shown, including a housing 9. A burner 91 and an adapter 92 connected to the burner 91 are provided in the housing 9. That is, the main pipeline 11 of the adapter 92 is communicated with the burner 91. The mating head 32 of the adapter 92 is connected to a corresponding container 93, so that the fuel in the container 93 flows to the burner 91 through the adapter 92 for combustion. An installation port for installing the container 93 is provided on the housing 9, and a door body is installed at the installation port, which helps the user to reach into the housing 9 through the installation port to rotate the tee joint 2, and install the mating head 32 and the container 93 storing fuel.

[0042] A notch 94 for displaying the indicating mark 83 is also provided on the housing 9. When using butane gas, the mark B will be displayed at the notch 94 to prompt the user of the current fuel being used; when changing to propane gas or high mountain gas, the mark P will be displayed at the notch 94.

[0043] In addition, a temperature sensor is provided inside the housing 9, and a temperature indicator 95 connected to the temperature sensor is provided on the housing 9. The temperature indicator 95 includes an upper temperature indication area and a lower temperature indication area. Before the cooking device is started, the temperature sensor detects the current temperature and controls the pointer of the temperature indicator 95 to point to the corresponding indication area. That is, when the current temperature is above zero, the pointer of the temperature indicator 95 points to the upper temperature indication area, and when the current temperature is below zero, the pointer of the temperature indicator 95 points to the lower temperature indication area, so that the user can select the best fuel according to the current temperature.

[0044] It can be understood that the boiling point of propane gas is relatively low, and the boiling point of butane gas is relatively high. When the temperature is below zero, the best fuel is propane; when the temperature is above zero, the best fuel is butane.

[0045] The above are all preferred embodiments of the present application, and the protection scope of the present application is not limited thereby. Therefore, all equivalent changes made according to the structure, shape, and principle of the present application should be covered within the protection scope of the present application.
