Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of cooking utensil technology, and more particularly to a handle and a cooking container. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, for cookware with spray coatings, to avoid abnormal cracks in the riveted handles, the handles are designed to fit completely against the pot body.
[0003] However, in reality, due to manufacturing errors, the handle and the pot body cannot fit perfectly together. When the outer edge of the handle contacts the pot body, the pot body is deformed by the pressure of the handle's edges, resulting in cracks and abnormalities. To avoid cracks when lifting ingredients, aluminum rivets with lower hardness are mostly used when riveting the handle, thereby reducing the pressure of the handle on the pot body.
[0004] However, aluminum rivets have poor reliability and corrosion resistance, and are prone to loosening after long-term use. Utility Model Content
[0005] This application provides a handle and a cooking container, which aims to ensure the connection strength between the handle and the container body while reducing cracks on the outer surface of the container caused by compression.
[0006] This application embodiment provides a handle for a cooking container, the cooking container including a container body, the handle comprising:
[0007] The handle includes at least a first connecting portion and a second connecting portion for connecting to a container body, the second connecting portion being located on the inner periphery of the first connecting portion, and the first connecting portion protruding towards the container body relative to the second connecting portion; the first connecting portion is provided with a mounting hole;
[0008] A connector, a portion of which is capable of passing through the mounting hole and connecting to the container body.
[0009] In this embodiment, both the first connecting part and the second connecting part are fitting surfaces that fit tightly against the outer wall of the container body, and both the first connecting part and the second connecting part are designed according to the outer contour of the container body, so that they can fit well against the container body.
[0010] In this embodiment, the first connecting portion protrudes further from the second connecting portion towards the container body. When the handle and container body are assembled via the connector, the instantaneous pressure generated by the stamping equipment pushes the first connecting portion into contact with the outer wall of the container body first, simultaneously compressing the outer wall and causing it to indent inward, forming a recessed structure. When the second connecting portion contacts the outer wall of the container body, the height difference between the first and second connecting portions reduces the pressure exerted by the second connecting portion on the outer wall, preventing cracking in the contact area between the second connecting portion and the outer wall.
[0011] In one possible design, the first connecting portion protrudes 0.2mm-0.3mm more than the second connecting portion in the direction toward the container body.
[0012] In this embodiment, the protrusion value of the first connecting portion relative to the second connecting portion in the direction towards the container body can be 0.2mm, 0.21mm, 0.22mm, 0.23mm, 0.24mm, 0.25mm, 0.26mm, 0.27mm, 0.28mm, 0.28mm, 0.3mm, etc. Setting the protrusion value of the first connecting portion relative to the second connecting portion in the direction towards the container body to 0.2mm-0.3mm ensures both the appearance quality and usability of the cooking container.
[0013] In one possible design, there is a recess between the first connecting portion and the second connecting portion.
[0014] In this embodiment, the recessed portion is a groove. By providing a recessed portion between the first connecting portion and the second connecting portion, the contact area between the handle and the outer wall of the container body is reduced, thereby reducing the risk of misfitting at the connection position between the handle and the container body.
[0015] In one possible design, the first connecting part is a ring structure, and the width of the first connecting part is 1.5mm-3.5mm.
[0016] In this embodiment of the application, the width of the first connecting part can be 1.5mm, 2mm, 2.5mm, 3mm, 3.5mm, etc.
[0017] The width of the first connecting part should not be too wide or too narrow. If it is too narrow, the structural strength of the first connecting part will be weakened, affecting the connection strength between the handle and the container body. If it is too wide, when the connecting part connects the handle and the container body, the punching force provided by the stamping equipment may not be able to cause the first connecting part to press against the outer wall of the container body to form a dent, resulting in a gap between the second connecting part and the outer wall of the container body.
[0018] In one possible design, the second connecting part is a ring structure, and the width of the second connecting part is 2mm-3.5mm.
[0019] In this embodiment, the width of the second connecting part can be 2mm, 2.5mm, 3mm, 3.5mm, etc. The width of the second connecting part should not be too large or too narrow. If it is too narrow, the contact area between the second connecting part and the outer wall of the container decreases, leading to localized stress concentration on the outer wall of the container, causing cracks to appear in the area where the second connecting part and the outer wall of the container are opposite. If it is too wide, the contact area between the second connecting part and the outer wall of the container increases, preventing complete fit between the second connecting part and the outer wall of the container, resulting in increased pressure from the second connecting part on the outer wall of the container, causing deformation and cracks to appear on the outer wall of the container.
[0020] In one possible design, both the inner and outer edges of the second connecting part are curved.
[0021] In this embodiment, both the inner and outer edges of the second connecting part are set as arc-shaped edges to reduce the squeezing force exerted by the edges of the second connecting part on the container body, thereby further reducing the risk of cracks appearing on the outer surface of the container body.
[0022] In one possible design, the second connection is the edge portion where the handle connects to the container body.
[0023] In this embodiment, the second connecting part is located at the outer contour edge of the area where the handle and the outer wall of the container are connected. Since the second connecting part is tightly fitted to the outer wall of the container, from the appearance, the handle and the outer wall of the container are tightly fitted, reducing the amount of dirt entering the connection position between the handle and the container, so as to facilitate cleaning by the user.
[0024] In one possible design, the handle further includes a transition portion for connection with the container body, the transition portion being an annular structure, located on the outer periphery of the first connecting portion and disposed on the inner periphery of the second connecting portion;
[0025] The transition portion protrudes toward the container body, and the protrusion value of the transition portion is less than the protrusion value of the first connecting portion.
[0026] In this embodiment, by providing a transition portion on the handle, multiple contact surfaces that fit with the container body can be provided on the handle, reducing the risk of concentrated stress on the outer wall of the container body and affecting the structural strength.
[0027] In one possible design, the connector is made of stainless steel.
[0028] In this embodiment, the connector can be a stainless steel rivet. A stamping device is used to fix the connector to the handle and the container body, thereby improving the service life of the connector and thus the service life of the cooking container.
[0029] This application embodiment also provides a cooking container, the cooking container comprising:
[0030] container body;
[0031] Handle, wherein the handle is the handle described above;
[0032] When the handle is installed on the container body, both the first connecting part and the second connecting part are in contact with the outer wall of the container body, and the first connecting part can squeeze the side wall of the container body inward under the action of external force.
[0033] In this embodiment, a stainless steel connector is used to connect the handle and the container body to ensure a stable connection between the handle and the container body, while also preventing the second connection part from causing strong compression on the outer wall of the container body and resulting in cracks, thereby improving the appearance quality of the cooking container.

[0059] The accompanying drawings, which are incorporated in and form part of this specification, illustrate embodiments consistent with this application and, together with the description, serve to explain the principles of this application. Detailed Implementation
[0060] To better understand the technical solution of this application, the embodiments of this application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0061] It should be understood that the described embodiments are merely some, not all, of the embodiments in this application. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments in this application without inventive effort are within the scope of protection of this application.
[0062] The terminology used in the embodiments of this application is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of this application. The singular forms “a,” “the,” and “the” used in the embodiments of this application and the appended claims are also intended to include the plural forms unless the context clearly indicates otherwise.
[0063] It should be understood that the term "and / or" used in this article is merely a description of the relationship between related objects, indicating that three relationships can exist. For example, A and / or B can represent: A existing alone, A and B existing simultaneously, and B existing alone. Additionally, the character " / " in this article generally indicates that the preceding and following related objects have an "or" relationship.
[0064] It should be noted that the directional terms such as "upper," "lower," "left," and "right" described in the embodiments of this application are used to describe the angles shown in the accompanying drawings and should not be construed as limiting the embodiments of this application. Furthermore, in the context, it should be understood that when it is mentioned that an element is connected "upper" or "lower" to another element, it can be directly connected to the other element "upper" or "lower," or indirectly connected to the other element "upper" or "lower" through an intermediate element.
[0065] This embodiment provides a cooking container, which can be a wok, steamer, pressure cooker, etc. Figure 1 The diagram shown is a cross-sectional view of the cooking container 2, which includes a container body 21 and a handle 1. The handle 1 is installed on the container body 21 to facilitate the user in taking the cooking container 2.
[0066] Please continue to refer to this. Figure 1 The handle 1 includes a handle body 11 and a connector 12, which connects the handle body 11 and the container body 21 to mount the handle 1 onto the container body 21.
[0067] The connector 12 can be made of stainless steel. Specifically, the connector 12 can be a stainless steel rivet, which is used in a stamping process to securely connect the handle 1 and the container body 21. Stainless steel rivets have excellent corrosion resistance and can be used for extended periods in humid, acidic, and alkaline environments, making the cooking container 2 dishwasher safe. Stainless steel rivets also have high strength and are not easily deformed or broken. The smooth surface of the stainless steel rivets improves the appearance of the cooking container 2. Therefore, using stainless steel rivets for the connector 12 extends its service life, thereby extending the service life of the cooking container 2.
[0068] The container body 21 has an outer side wall 21a and an inner side wall 21b arranged opposite to each other. The inner side wall 21b is the side of the container body 21 that contacts the food being cooked, and the outer side wall 21a is the side of the container body 21 that contacts the external support structure. The outer side wall 21a is provided with a glaze layer, which makes the outer side wall 21a easy to wash and keep clean.
[0069] Specifically, such as Figure 2 The diagram shown is a structural schematic of handle 1. Figure 3 for Figure 2 Please refer to the diagram from another perspective. Figure 2 and Figure 3 The handle 1 includes a handle body 11, which includes a hand grip section 11a and a connecting section connected to each other. The hand grip section 11a is used for the user to hold, and the connecting section is used to connect to the container body 21.
[0070] The connecting segment extends from the end of the handle segment 11a into a first connecting segment 11b and a second connecting segment 11c. By connecting the first connecting segment 11b and the second connecting segment 11c to the container body, the connection area between the handle 1 and the container body 21 is increased, thereby enhancing the connection strength between the two.
[0071] The first connecting segment 11b and the second connecting segment 11c have the same structure. The following description uses the structure of the first connecting segment 11b as an example.
[0072] like Figure 4 As shown Figure 2 Enlarged diagram of section A in the middle. Figure 5 As shown Figure 3 Please refer to the enlarged diagram of section B. Figure 1 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 The first connecting segment 11b includes at least a first connecting portion 111 and a second connecting portion 112 for connecting to the container body 21. Both the first connecting portion 111 and the second connecting portion 112 are annular structures. The second connecting portion 112 is located on the inner periphery of the first connecting portion 111, and the first connecting portion 111 protrudes towards the container body 21 compared to the second connecting portion 112. The first connecting portion 111 is provided with a mounting hole 111a, through which a portion of the connector 12 can pass and connect to the container body 21.
[0073] In this embodiment, the first connecting part 111 and the second connecting part 112 are both fitting surfaces that are closely fitted to the outer side wall 21a of the container body 21, and the first connecting part 111 and the second connecting part 112 are designed according to the outer contour of the container body 21, so that they can fit well with the container body 21.
[0074] Specifically, such as Figure 6 As shown Figure 1 Partial structural diagram. Figure 7 for Figure 6 Please refer to the enlarged diagram of section C. Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 7In this embodiment, the first connecting portion 111 protrudes towards the container body 21 compared to the second connecting portion 112. When the handle 1 and the container body 21 are assembled via the connector 12, the instantaneous pressure (approximately 25T) generated by the stamping equipment pushes the first connecting portion 111 to contact the outer wall 21a of the container body 21 first, simultaneously compressing the outer wall 21a and causing it to indent inward, forming a recessed structure 211. When the second connecting portion 112 contacts the outer wall 21a of the container body 21, the height difference between the first connecting portion 111 and the second connecting portion 112 reduces the impact of the second connecting portion 112 on the outer wall 21a of the container body 21, mitigates the compression of the outer wall 21a by the second connecting portion 112, and prevents chipping in the contact area between the second connecting portion 112 and the outer wall 21a of the container body 21.
[0075] Furthermore, the second connecting part 112 is disposed on the outer periphery of the first connecting part 111. Even if the first connecting part 111 is squeezed against the outer wall 21a of the container body 21 and cracks are generated in the area opposite to the outer wall 21a of the container body 21, the second connecting part 112 can also cover the cracked area to ensure the appearance quality of the cooking container 2.
[0076] In other words, this embodiment uses a stainless steel connector 12 to connect the handle 1 and the container body 21 to ensure a stable connection between the handle 1 and the container body 21. At the same time, by setting a first connecting part 111 and a second connecting part 112 with a height difference, it also reduces the risk of strong compression of the outer wall 21a of the container body 21 by the second connecting part 112, which could cause cracks on the appearance of the container body, and improves the appearance quality of the cooking container 2.
[0077] It should be noted that the cracks on the outer wall 21a of the container body 21 are due to the local glaze layer of the outer wall 21a being cracked and irregular cracks appearing after the outer wall 21a of the container body 21 is compressed.
[0078] Please continue to refer to the reference. Figure 4 and Figure 5 A recess 113 is provided between the first connecting part 111 and the second connecting part 112. The recess 113 is a groove. By providing the recess 113 between the first connecting part 111 and the second connecting part 112, the contact area between the handle 1 and the outer wall 21a of the container body 21 is reduced, thereby reducing the risk of misfitting at the connection position between the handle 1 and the container body 21.
[0079] In some embodiments, the first connecting segment 11b may further include a transition portion (not shown) for connection with the container body 21. The transition portion has an annular structure, with its inner edge connected to the first connecting portion 111 and its outer edge connected to the recessed portion 113. The transition portion protrudes towards the container body 21, and the protrusion value of the transition portion is less than the protrusion value of the first connecting portion 111.
[0080] The transition section can be a plane, and there can be one, two, three, etc. The protrusion value of each plane in the direction of the container body 21 is different. Specifically, the height of each plane gradually decreases from the first connecting part 111 to the second connecting part 112.
[0081] Alternatively, the transition surface can be an arc surface or a slope surface, and the height of the transition portion gradually decreases from the first connecting portion 111 to the second connecting portion 112.
[0082] In this embodiment, by providing a transition portion on the handle 1, multiple contact surfaces that fit with the container body 21 can be provided on the handle 1, thereby reducing the risk of concentrated stress on the outer wall 21a of the container body 21 and affecting the structural strength.
[0083] In some embodiments, the first connecting portion 111 protrudes 0.2mm-0.3mm from the second connecting portion 112 in the direction toward the container body 21. Exemplarily, the protrusion value of the first connecting portion 111 relative to the second connecting portion 112 in the direction toward the container body 21 can be 0.2mm, 0.21mm, 0.22mm, 0.23mm, 0.24mm, 0.25mm, 0.26mm, 0.27mm, 0.28mm, 0.28mm, or 0.3mm. Specific values can be set according to actual conditions, and are not limited in this embodiment.
[0084] In this embodiment, the protrusion of the first connecting portion 111 relative to the second connecting portion 112 in the direction toward the container body 21 should not be too large or too small. If it is too small, the second connecting portion 112 may still exert a large impact on the outer wall 21a of the container body 21 when the connector 12 connects the handle 1 and the container body 21, resulting in cracks in the connection area between the second connecting portion 112 and the outer wall 21a of the container body 21, affecting the appearance quality of the cooking container 2.
[0085] If the size is too large, the first connecting part 111 will cause the outer wall 21a of the container body 21 to be squeezed inward to a greater depth, resulting in a higher protrusion structure at the corresponding position of the inner wall of the container body 21, which may hinder the sliding of the spatula.
[0086] Therefore, when the protrusion value of the first connecting part 111 protruding in the direction of the container body 21 relative to the second connecting part 112 is set to 0.2mm-0.3mm, the appearance quality of the cooking container 2 is guaranteed, as well as the performance of the cooking container 2.
[0087] Please continue to refer to the reference. Figure 4 and Figure 5 The first connecting portion 111 has an annular structure, and its width is 1.5mm-3.5mm. For example, the width of the first connecting portion 111 can be 1.5mm, 2mm, 2.5mm, 3mm, 3.5mm, etc. Specific values can be set according to actual conditions, and this embodiment does not impose any limitations.
[0088] It should be noted that the width of the first connecting part 111 refers to the ring width.
[0089] In this embodiment, the width of the first connecting portion 111 should not be too wide or too narrow. If it is too narrow, the structural strength of the first connecting portion 111 will be weakened, affecting the connection strength between the handle 1 and the container body 21. If it is too wide, when the connector 12 connects the handle 1 and the container body 21, the punching force provided by the stamping equipment may not be able to cause the first connecting portion 111 to press the outer wall 21a of the container body 21 to form a depression, resulting in a gap between the second connecting portion 112 and the outer wall 21a of the container body 21.
[0090] In some embodiments, the first connecting portion 111 can be an annular boss, and the outer diameter of the first connecting portion 111 can be 8mm-10mm. Alternatively, in some embodiments, the first connecting portion 111 can also be a boss of other shapes, such as a four-sided annular boss, a five-sided annular boss, etc. The specific shape can be set according to the actual situation, and this embodiment does not limit it.
[0091] Please continue to refer to the reference. Figure 4 and Figure 5 The second connecting portion 112 is an annular structure, and its width is 2mm-3.5mm. For example, the width of the second connecting portion 112 can be 2mm, 2.5mm, 3mm, 3.5mm, etc. Specific values can be set according to actual conditions, and this embodiment does not impose any limitations.
[0092] It should be noted that the width of the second connecting part 112 refers to the ring width.
[0093] In this embodiment, the width of the second connecting portion 112 should not be too large or too narrow. If it is too narrow, the contact area between the second connecting portion 112 and the outer wall 21a of the container body 21 will decrease, resulting in local stress concentration on the outer wall 21a of the container body 21, causing cracks to appear in the area where the second connecting portion 112 and the outer wall 21a of the container body 21 are opposite. If it is too wide, the contact area between the second connecting portion 112 and the outer wall 21a of the container body 21 will increase, and the second connecting portion 112 and the outer wall 21a of the container body 21 will not be able to fit completely, resulting in increased pressure from the second connecting portion 112 on the outer wall 21a of the container body 21, causing the outer wall 21a of the container body 21 to be deformed and cracks to appear.
[0094] Please continue to refer to the reference. Figure 4 and Figure 5 The second connecting part 112 is the edge portion where the handle 1 connects to the container body 21. That is, the second connecting part 112 is located at the outer contour edge of the first connecting section 11b. Since the second connecting part 112 is in close contact with the outer wall 21a of the container body 21, from the appearance, the first connecting section 11b and the outer wall 21a of the container body 21 are in close contact, reducing the amount of dirt entering the connection position between the first connecting section 11b and the container body 21, so as to facilitate cleaning by the user.
[0095] Please continue to refer to the reference. Figure 4 and Figure 5 To further reduce the risk of cracks appearing on the surface of the container body 21, both the inner and outer edges of the second connecting part 112 are set as arc-shaped edges 112a to reduce the squeezing force exerted on the container body 21 by the edges of the second connecting part 112.
[0096] Specifically, the inner and outer edges of the second connecting part 112 can be chamfered, and the chamfer radius can be 0.8mm, etc. The specific setting needs to be determined according to the actual situation, and this embodiment does not limit it.
[0097] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this application and is not intended to limit this application. Various modifications and variations can be made to this application by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this application should be included within the protection scope of this application.
