Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of kitchen appliances, in particular to a pot rack and a stove. Background Art

[0002] Cookware stands, as a support for pots, are widely used on various gas stoves. The pot is placed on the stand, with a certain distance between the pot bottom and the burner, allowing the gas to burn fully and the heat to be transferred to the pot, thus cooking the ingredients. Conventional pot stands currently available on the market consist of a base and legs, which are fixedly connected. These stands are generally categorized as round-bottomed and flat-bottomed, depending on the shape of the legs. However, these stands can only accommodate pots with a single bottom shape, making them less versatile.

[0003] In this regard, the prior art discloses a stove pot stand comprising a base, legs, and retractable supports. The base is connected to at least three legs spaced circumferentially around the base, and at least two retractable supports are protruding from the upper surfaces of the legs. The retractable supports comprise a column and an elastic member. The column vertically slides with the legs, with one end of the elastic member abutting the column and the other end abutting the legs. This stove pot stand utilizes axially resilient retractable supports. When supporting a curved pot bottom, the elastic support makes the curved pot prone to tipping. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of the utility model is to provide a pot rack and a stove, which can adapt to pots of different types and sizes, enhance versatility and adaptability, and at the same time provide a more stable support, so that the curved pot body is not prone to tipping over.

[0028] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that, unless otherwise expressly specified or limited, the terms "installed," "connected," and "connected" should be understood in a broad sense. For example, they can refer to fixed connections, detachable connections, or integral connections; mechanical connections, electrical connections; direct connections, indirect connections through an intermediate medium, and internal communication between two components. Those skilled in the art will understand the specific meanings of the above terms in this utility model based on specific circumstances.

[0029] The following is a detailed description of the specific embodiments of the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to illustrate and explain the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0030] The embodiment of the first aspect of the present utility model is to provide a pot rack, such as Figure 1 As shown, it includes a support ring 1, a rotating ring 2 and a plurality of legs 3;

[0031] The rotating ring 2 rotates with the support ring 1 around the axis of the support ring 1, and the rotating ring 2 is provided with a guide groove group;

[0032] Multiple support legs 3 are distributed at intervals along the circumference of the support ring 1, and each support leg 3 slides with the support ring 1 along the radial direction of the support ring 1. Each support leg 3 extends into a guide groove group, and the guide groove group is used to drive each support leg 3 to slide synchronously inward or outward relative to the support ring 1 along the radial direction of the support ring 1 when the rotating ring 2 rotates.

[0033] like Figure 1 As shown, when using the above-mentioned pot rack, the pot can be placed on multiple legs 3 for support. When the pot needs to be replaced, the user can rotate the rotating ring 2 on the support ring 1 according to the shape and size of the pot bottom. The rotation of the rotating ring 2 drives the guide groove group to move, and relative movement occurs between the guide groove group and each leg 3, thereby driving each leg 3 to slide synchronously inward or outward relative to the support ring 1 along the radial direction of the support ring 1, thereby adapting to pots of different types and sizes and enhancing versatility and adaptability.

[0034] At the same time, since each support leg 3 slides with the support ring 1 along the radial direction of the support ring 1, there is no freedom relative to the axial direction of the support ring 1, so that the support leg 3 will not move in the axial direction, the support is more stable, and the arc-shaped pot body is not prone to tipping over.

[0035] The supporting legs 3 can be configured as two, three, four, etc. When there are two supporting legs 3, the supporting legs 3 need to have a certain extension length in the circumferential direction of the support ring 1 so as to achieve stable support of the cookware.

[0036] In a preferred embodiment, Figure 1As shown, there are three legs 3, which can provide three supporting points for the pot, thereby forming a stable supporting structure without causing excessive cost of the pot stand.

[0037] In an optional embodiment, if Figure 1 As shown, the guide groove group includes a plurality of guide grooves 221 , and the plurality of legs 3 extend into the plurality of guide grooves 221 in a one-to-one correspondence.

[0038] In the above embodiment, each guide groove 221 can guide one support leg 3 , thereby ensuring that each support leg slides stably relative to the support ring 1 .

[0039] When there are three supporting legs 3 , there are correspondingly three guiding grooves 221 .

[0040] Specifically, the plurality of guide grooves 221 are distributed at intervals along the circumference of the rotating ring 2 , and the vertical distance between each guide groove 221 and the axis of the rotating ring 2 gradually increases in the clockwise or counterclockwise direction.

[0041] by Figure 1 For example, in the clockwise direction, the vertical distance between each guide groove 221 and the axis of the rotating ring 2 gradually increases. In use, when the rotating ring 2 rotates clockwise, each guide groove 221 will drive each support leg 3 to slide radially inward along the support ring 1; when the rotating ring 2 rotates counterclockwise, each guide groove 221 will drive each support leg 3 to slide radially outward along the support ring 1.

[0042] The above embodiment can ensure that when the rotating ring 2 rotates, the supporting legs 3 are driven to slide synchronously inward or outward along the radial direction of the support ring 1. Before and after adjustment, the center of the pot can always be aligned with the center of the pot rack without deviation.

[0043] Specifically, the guide groove 221 may extend in a straight line or in an arc shape.

[0044] In an optional embodiment, if Figure 1 As shown, the rotating ring 2 includes a ring body 21 and a plurality of extension arms 22 protruding from the outer circumference of the ring body 21. The ring body 21 rotates with the support ring 1. The plurality of extension arms 22 are distributed at intervals along the circumference of the ring body 21, and each extension arm 22 is correspondingly provided with a guide groove 221.

[0045] In the above embodiment, the extension arm 22 provides a space for the guide groove 221 , which reduces the area occupied by the projection of the rotating ring 2 in its own axial direction and makes the appearance more beautiful.

[0046] In an optional embodiment, if Figure 1 As shown, in order to facilitate the user to rotate the rotating ring 2, the rotating ring 2 is connected to a heat-insulating handle 23.

[0047] During use, the user can hold the heat-insulating handle 23 to drive the rotating ring to rotate. The design of the heat-insulating handle 23 not only facilitates the user's operation, but also provides anti-scalding protection, thereby increasing the user's comfort and safety.

[0048] In an optional embodiment, if Figure 2 As shown, Figure 2 As shown, a rotation groove 121 is provided on the outer circumference of the support ring 1 . The rotation groove 121 is arranged along the circumference of the support ring 1 . The rotation ring 2 extends into the rotation groove 121 and rotates with the support ring 1 .

[0049] In order to facilitate the rotating ring 2 to extend into the rotating groove 121, the upper and lower parts of the supporting ring 1 forming the rotating groove 121 can be detachably connected, or the rotating ring 2 adopts a split structure of two left and right half rings, and the two half rings are detachably connected. The two half rings are respectively extended into the rotating groove 121 and then snapped together to achieve rotational coordination between the rotating ring 2 and the support ring 1.

[0050] Of course, the rotating ring 2 may also be inserted into the rotating groove 121 and rotated with the supporting ring 1 in other ways.

[0051] In an optional embodiment, if Figure 2 As shown, the support ring 1 includes a bottom ring 11 and a mounting ring 12 mounted on the top of the bottom ring 11. The bottom ring 11 and the mounting ring 12 are coaxial and can be connected by welding, clamping or other means.

[0052] like Figure 2 As shown, a rotation groove 121 is formed on the outer circumference of the mounting ring 12 , and the rotating ring 2 is rotatably mounted on the rotation groove 121 .

[0053] In an optional embodiment, if Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a plurality of guide rails 122 are installed on the side of the mounting ring 12 facing away from the bottom ring 11 , and a plurality of supporting legs 3 are slidably installed on the plurality of guide rails 122 in a one-to-one correspondence.

[0054] One of the guide rail 122 and the support leg 3 may be provided with a recessed sliding groove, and the other may be provided with a convex slider that slidably cooperates with the sliding groove.

[0055] Specifically, if Figure 2 As shown, the guide rail 122 is provided with a recessed sliding groove, and the supporting foot 3 is correspondingly provided with a sliding block that slidably cooperates with the sliding groove.

[0056] In an optional embodiment, if Figure 1 As shown, a limiting structure 4 is provided between the rotating ring 2 and the supporting ring 1 , and the limiting structure 4 is used to limit the rotating ring 2 to different rotation angles.

[0057] The setting of the above-mentioned limiting structure 4 provides additional safety protection, avoids the position of the support leg 3 from changing due to accidental touch, ensures that the position of the pot rack is fixed during use, and further enhances the safety of the cooking process.

[0058] It should be noted that any structure that can limit the rotating ring 2 to different rotation angles can be the limiting structure 4 mentioned in the above embodiment.

[0059] For example, the limiting structure 4 includes a protrusion provided on the rotating ring 2 and a plurality of limiting grooves spaced apart along the circumference of the supporting ring 1 , and the protrusion can be snapped into any of the limiting grooves.

[0060] For example, Figure 1 As shown, the limiting structure 4 includes a limiting rod 41 and a plurality of limiting holes 42. The plurality of limiting holes 42 are distributed at intervals along the circumference of the support ring 1. One end of the limiting rod 41 is movably mounted on the rotating ring 2, and the other end of the limiting rod 41 is configured to be inserted into any one of the limiting holes 42.

[0061] When the rotating ring 2 needs to be rotated, the position of the limiting rod 41 is adjusted so that the limiting rod 41 is disengaged from the limiting hole 42, and then the rotating ring 2 is rotated. After the rotation is completed, the limiting rod 41 is reset and inserted into the corresponding limiting hole 42.

[0062] Specifically, if Figure 1 As shown, the limiting rod 41 can slide relative to the limiting rod 41 along the axial direction of the rotating ring 2. In this case, the axial direction of the limiting hole 42 is parallel to the axial direction of the rotating ring 2. The limiting hole 42 is formed on the bottom ring 11. The limiting rod 41 can also slide relative to the limiting rod 41 along the radial direction of the rotating ring 2. In this case, the limiting rod 41 is bent. Multiple limiting holes 42 are formed on the outer circumferential surface of the support ring 1, and the axial direction of the limiting holes 42 extends along the radial direction of the rotating ring 2.

[0063] In addition, the reset of the limit rod 41 can be achieved under the action of gravity or under the action of elastic force. Figure 1 As shown, when the rotating ring 2 needs to be rotated, the limiting rod 41 can be pulled up. After the rotation is completed, the limiting rod 41 is released, and the limiting rod 41 falls into the corresponding limiting hole 42 due to gravity. Alternatively, an elastic member is provided between the limiting rod 41 and the support ring 1. When the rotating ring 2 needs to be rotated, the limiting rod 41 is pulled up to overcome the elastic force of the elastic member. After the rotation is completed, the limiting rod 41 is released, and the limiting rod 41 falls into the corresponding limiting hole 42 due to the elastic force of the elastic member.

[0064] The elastic member may be, but is not limited to, a spring.

[0065] In an optional embodiment, if Figure 3As shown, the support leg 3 includes a support block 31 and a guide rod 32. The support block 31 slides with the guide rail 122 on the support ring 1 along the radial direction of the support ring 1. One end of the guide rod 32 is connected to the support block 31, and the other end extends into the guide groove 221.

[0066] The support legs 3 have a simple structure, can achieve sliding cooperation with the support ring 1 , and can also achieve linkage with the guide groove 221 .

[0067] Specifically, when the guide slot 221 moves, the guide rod 32 slides relative to the guide slot 221 and also rotates relative to the guide slot 221 .

[0068] In an optional embodiment, if Figure 3 As shown, the top surface of the support block 31 has a support surface 311 for supporting the cookware, and the height of the support surface 311 gradually decreases as it approaches the axis of the support ring 1 .

[0069] The embodiment of the second aspect of the present invention provides a stove. The stove provided by the embodiment of the second aspect of the present invention includes the above-mentioned pot rack.

[0070] The stove provided in the second aspect of the present invention has the pot rack provided in the embodiment of the first aspect of the present invention, thereby having all the beneficial effects of the pot rack provided in the embodiment of the first aspect of the present invention.

[0071] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention, rather than to limit it. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the above embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that they can still modify the technical solutions described in the above embodiments, or replace some or all of the technical features therein with equivalents. However, these modifications or replacements do not deviate the essence of the corresponding technical solutions from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention.
