Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of kitchen utensils, and particularly relates to an intelligent cookware. Background Art

[0002] Cookware such as frying pans, frying pans, stew pots, etc. are common cooking tools in the kitchen, and the food in the cookware is heated by means of gas stoves, induction cookers, etc. to achieve the cooking purpose.

[0003] During the cooking process, the ingredients in the pot are in a continuous heating state. Sometimes, the user may neglect and forget that the food is being cooked, resulting in the food being continuously heated, causing the food to burn, and even burning the cookware, leading to fires, etc.

[0004] To avoid situations such as burning during the cooking process, the prior art usually monitors the temperature inside the pot during the cooking process. When the monitored temperature reaches a certain value, it reminds the user or automatically controls the cooking to stop, that is, turns off the heating tool. For example, the Chinese utility model patent with the patent number CN201320122053.1 discloses a cookware, which monitors the temperature inside the pot through a temperature sensor. When the temperature exceeds a certain threshold, it controls the over-temperature alarm controller to trigger the over-temperature alarm to alarm, reminding the cook to turn off the fire, avoiding dry burning, and preventing unsafe accidents such as the dish burning, the cookware burning, and fire alarms.

[0005] However, since the cookware is always in a relatively high temperature state during the cooking process, the method of using the temperature condition for monitoring may also trigger the function of preventing burning reminder during the normal high-temperature cooking process, there is a risk of false alarm, and the accuracy is not high. Summary of the Utility Model

[0043] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present utility model, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative efforts belong to the protection scope of the present utility model. In addition, it should be understood that the specific implementation manners described herein are only used to illustrate and explain the present utility model, and are not used to limit the present utility model.

[0044] In the present utility model, unless otherwise stated, the orientation terms such as "upper", "lower", "left", "right", "front", and "rear" usually refer to the upper, lower, left, and right in the actual use or working state of the device, specifically the drawing direction in the accompanying drawings.

[0045] It should be noted that the description order of the following embodiments does not limit the preferred order of the embodiments of the present application. And in the following embodiments, each embodiment has its own emphasis. For the parts not detailed in a certain embodiment, reference can be made to the relevant descriptions of other embodiments.

[0046] As Figures 1 to 7 shown, the present utility model provides an intelligent cookware 100, including: a pot body 110, a pot lid 120, a pot handle 130, and a pot ear 150. Among them, the pot body 110 is used to hold ingredients, and its bottom contacts a heat source (for example, an induction cooker or a gas stove, etc.) to heat the ingredients it holds; the pot lid 120 is used to cover the pot body 110 to prevent heat loss during cooking; the pot handle 130 is fixed to the outer side wall of the pot body 110 for the user to grip to facilitate the taking and using of the cookware; the pot ear 150 is also fixed to the outer side wall of the pot body 110. The pot ear 150 is preferably arranged opposite to the pot handle 130. By adding the pot ear, it is convenient for the user to hold or lift the cookware with both hands.

[0047] Continue to refer to Figures 1 to 7, the cookware 100 further includes a monitor 140 detachably mounted on the pot handle 130. The monitor 140 includes a main body 142 mounted on the pot handle 130, a probe head 143 extending from the main body 142 into the pot body 110, a carbon dioxide sensor (not shown) provided on the probe head 143, and a prompting device (not shown). The carbon dioxide sensor is used to monitor the carbon dioxide content in the pot body 110 and transmit the carbon dioxide content information to the prompting device. The prompting device is used to feedback a first prompting information corresponding to the carbon dioxide content information to the user. Preferably, the carbon dioxide sensor is provided inside the probe head 143, and an air inlet 1432 is provided on the probe head 143. During the cooking process, the carbon dioxide gas generated in the pot body 110 can enter the inside of the probe head through the air inlet 1432 on the probe head 143 to be monitored by the carbon dioxide sensor. In addition, the prompting device can be, for example, a display 1421 provided on the main body 142. The first prompting information is numerical information representing the carbon dioxide content. After receiving the carbon dioxide content information, the display 1421 displays the numerical information representing the carbon dioxide content for the user to view. Of course, the carbon dioxide sensor can also be directly provided on the surface of the probe head 143. The present utility model does not limit the position of the carbon dioxide sensor on the probe head.

[0048] By providing a monitor on the cookware, the present utility model can monitor the carbon dioxide gas content in the pot body during the cooking process. The user can view the carbon dioxide gas content in the pot body in real time, thereby tracking the carbon dioxide level of the food. In addition, since the carbon dioxide content generated in the pot body is higher in the case of burning compared to normal cooking, when the food is burned, the user can quickly learn from the monitor that the carbon dioxide content in the pot body has increased and can quickly realize that the food has burned. The burning prompt can be achieved only by monitoring the carbon dioxide content with the monitor. Compared with the prior art of monitoring the burning of food by temperature, the method of monitoring the carbon dioxide content in the pot by the present utility model has higher accuracy and lower false alarm risk. In addition, the monitor is set to be detachably mounted, and the monitor can be used on multiple cookwares. Just remove it and install it on another cookware to use it on different cookwares.

[0049] Refer to Figures 3 to 7 , in a specific embodiment, the monitor 140 further includes a temperature sensor 1431 connected to the prompting device. The temperature sensor 1431 is used to monitor the temperature of the pot body 110 and transmit the temperature information to the prompting device. The prompting device is used to feedback a second prompting information corresponding to the temperature information to the user. The second prompting information is, for example, numerical information representing the temperature value. The prompting device is also, for example, the display 1421 provided on the main body 142. After receiving the temperature information, the display 1421 displays the numerical information representing the temperature value for the user to view.

[0050] The temperature during cooking will affect the taste and flavor of food. In this utility model, by setting a temperature sensor, the user can monitor the current cooking temperature in real time during the cooking process, control the current temperature, track the cooking situation of the food, and improve the cooking effect of the food. In addition, when the situation of burning occurs, through the temperature sensor, the user can quickly learn from the monitor that the temperature of the pot body becomes higher, and can also realize that the ingredients are burnt. That is, by monitoring the burning of the ingredients from two dimensions of temperature and carbon dioxide content at the same time, the accuracy of burning monitoring is further improved.

[0051] In a specific embodiment, the prompting device can also be an alarm installed on the main body part. The first prompting information can also be an alarm message indicating that the carbon dioxide content exceeds the content threshold, and the second prompting information can also be an alarm message indicating that the temperature exceeds the temperature threshold. After receiving the carbon dioxide content information and determining that the carbon dioxide content exceeds the content threshold, the alarm emits an alarm message indicating that the carbon dioxide content exceeds the content threshold (i.e., the first prompting information); or after receiving the temperature information and determining that the temperature exceeds the temperature threshold, the alarm emits an alarm message indicating that the temperature exceeds the temperature threshold (i.e., the second prompting information). In addition, the above alarm message can be, for example, an alarm light or an alarm sound and other information that can alert the user. In addition, the prompting device can also include both a display and an alarm. The form of the prompting device is not limited in this utility model, as long as it is a device that can feedback prompting information to the user.

[0052] In this utility model, by setting the prompting device as an alarm, when the carbon dioxide content exceeds the content threshold or the temperature exceeds the temperature threshold, an alarm message is sent to the user, so that when the user does not check the display, the burning can be reminded faster.

[0053] Continue to refer to Figures 1 to 7 , in a specific embodiment, the probe head 143 bends from the main body part 142 towards the inner side wall of the pot body 110. The temperature sensor 1431 is arranged on the bent surface of the probe head 143 facing the inner side wall of the pot body 110 and contacts the inner side wall of the pot body 110. The air inlet 1432 is arranged at the end of the probe head 143. By directly contacting the pot body with the temperature sensor, the accuracy of temperature monitoring can be improved. In addition, since the air inlet 1432 is arranged at the end of the probe head 143 and the probe head 143 is bent, the end of the probe head is generally facing the bottom of the pot body. Therefore, the carbon dioxide gas generated in the pot body can be transported to the inside of the probe head through the air inlet 1432 faster, and thus can be monitored by the carbon dioxide sensor.

[0054] In a specific embodiment, a timing module (not shown) is also arranged in the main body part. The timing module is used to display the time through the display or start the timing function through the display.

[0055] Continue to refer to Figures 1 to 7 , in a specific embodiment, an operation button 1422 is further provided on the main body portion 142. It can be understood that the functions of the operation button 1422 include but are not limited to serving as a start switch of the monitor; serving as a switch for switching the temperature monitoring function and the carbon dioxide monitoring function of the monitor, and serving as a switch for switching the display content of the display, etc.

[0056] In addition, the structures of the temperature sensor and the carbon dioxide sensor are conventional sensors in the prior art, and it can be understood that they should include conventional control components such as a control main board. Further, an internal battery for powering the temperature sensor and the carbon dioxide sensor can also be provided on the main body portion. It can also be that a power supply interface is provided on the main body portion, and an external power supply powers the temperature sensor and the carbon dioxide sensor through a power supply structure. The present utility model is not limited thereto.

[0057] Continue to refer to Figures 1 to 7 , in a specific embodiment, the side wall at the connection of the pot handle of the pot body 110 is folded outward to form a side wall slot 111 for inserting the probe head 143. By providing the side wall slot 111, it is convenient for the installation and disassembly of the monitor 140. In addition, compared with the setting method in which the probe head directly protrudes into the pot body, the method of inserting the probe head 143 into the side wall slot 111 can improve the aesthetics of the cooking utensil.

[0058] Refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 , in a specific embodiment, the folding angle of the side wall slot 111 corresponds to the bending angle of the probe head 143, so that when the probe head 143 is inserted into the side wall slot 111, the temperature sensor 1431 on the bent surface can be attached to the inner side wall of the side wall slot 111.

[0059] Refer to Figure 3 , in a specific embodiment, the folding angle of the side wall slot 111 is set such that when the pot lid 120 covers the top of the pot body 110 and closes the side wall slot 111, the probe head 143 can still be inserted into the pot body 110 through the side wall slot 111. Thus, even when the pot lid covers the pot body, the disassembly and installation of the monitor can be realized without opening the pot lid, so that the monitor can work normally in both the opened and closed states of the pot lid.

[0060] Refer to Figures 3 to 7 , in a preferred embodiment, an inwardly inclined inner folding portion 144 is provided at the bottom of the main body 142 near the bending portion of the probe head 143. By providing the inner folding portion, an avoidance space is provided for the disassembly and installation of the monitor, which can prevent the monitor from being stuck by the side wall of the pot body (i.e., the side wall that is folded outward to form the side wall slot) during the disassembly and installation process, and facilitate its disassembly and installation.

[0061] Reference Figures 1 to 7 , in a specific embodiment, the pot handle 130 is provided with an assembly groove 133, and the monitor 140 is detachably installed in the assembly groove 133. By arranging the monitor in the assembly groove, the edge of the monitor and the pot handle can have a smooth transition, which is convenient for the user to hold.

[0062] Reference Figure 3 , in a specific embodiment, a first magnet 131 is provided in the assembly groove 133, a second magnet 141 is provided in the main body portion 142, and the monitor 140 is magnetically attracted in the assembly groove 133 by the first magnet 131 and the second magnet 141. Of course, other detachable methods such as bonding and screwing can also be used, and the present invention is not limited thereto.

[0063] Reference Figure 3 , in a specific embodiment, the pot handle 130 is a split structure including a housing fixedly connected to the pot body and a connecting bushing nested in the housing, the assembly groove 133 is provided in the connecting bushing, and the first magnet 131 is arranged between the connecting bushing and the housing. Preferably, the connecting bushing is made of plastic.

[0064] Reference Figures 1 to 7 , in a specific embodiment, a hanging hole 132 is provided at one end of the pot handle 130 away from the pot body 110. Through the hanging hole 132, the cookware 100 can be hung on a vertical surface such as a wall surface or a cabinet surface, which is convenient for storage.

[0065] Reference Figures 1 to 3 , the length of the pot handle 130 is greater than that of the monitor 140. When the monitor 140 is installed in the assembly groove 133, a space can be reserved for the hanging hole 132.
