Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of aluminum pot lid technology, specifically a flexible and adjustable aluminum pot lid. Background Technology
[0002] Aluminum pots are lightweight, durable, heat up quickly, conduct heat evenly, and do not rust. It is understood that aluminum products mainly come in two types: refined aluminum (soft aluminum) products and cast aluminum (hard aluminum) products. The materials are aluminum and aluminum alloys. Aluminum pot lids are a common kitchen accessory, mainly used to cover aluminum pots to retain heat and prevent moisture evaporation. Aluminum, as a lightweight metal with good thermal conductivity, is often used to manufacture cookware, including pot lids.
[0003] Existing aluminum pot lids have certain shortcomings in practical use. Most of them are only used to retain heat and prevent moisture evaporation. However, they cannot pressurize the pots when stewing, requiring a longer stewing time or the use of a pressure cooker, which is quite inconvenient. Therefore, a flexible and adjustable aluminum pot lid is proposed to solve the above-mentioned problems. Utility Model Content

[0021] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0022] Please see Figures 1-5 This utility model provides one embodiment: a flexible and adjustable aluminum pot lid, including a pot lid body 1, which is made of aluminum and can be manufactured by die casting or casting, a relatively mature technology, which will not be described in detail here. A sealing ring 2 (which is interference-fitted with the pot body for easy sealing; the pot body is not shown in the drawing, a relatively mature technology, which will not be described in detail here) is adhered to the side of the pot lid body 1. A handle 3 is provided at the top of the pot lid body 1 via an installation mechanism. The handle 3 allows for easy removal of the pot lid body 1, and the installation mechanism facilitates the installation and removal of the handle 3 for easy replacement. The design includes symmetrical... The mounting post 8 (which can be integrally formed or welded) is placed at the top of the pot lid body 1. The handle 3 has mounting holes 7 at both ends for insertion into the mounting post 8. For positioning and fixing, the top of the mounting post 8 has a groove, and the two side walls of the groove have limit holes 10. An elastic element 9 is inserted inside the groove. The material can be stainless steel (or other materials with a certain degree of elasticity, which can facilitate installation, locking, positioning, and subsequent disassembly). This facilitates the installation and disassembly of the elastic element 9, thereby facilitating the installation and disassembly of the handle 3 and making it easy to replace.
[0023] Please see Figures 1-5To allow for adjustment of the exhaust pipes as needed, enabling both daily use and low-pressure operation during stewing to shorten cooking time, as well as normal use such as stir-frying, the main body 1 of the pot lid is equipped with an exhaust pipe 4 and an exhaust pipe 5. Exhaust pipe 4 is for normal venting, while exhaust pipe 5 has a sealing component inside via a sliding assembly to seal the pot body. It then releases pressure after reaching a certain level, shortening stewing time while ensuring safety. Both exhaust pipes 4 and 5 have sealing plugs 6 at their tops (which can be fixed by threads) for easy adjustment and switching. For ease of use, the sealing assembly includes a movable plate 16 disposed inside the exhaust pipe 2 5. A sealing sleeve 17 is bonded to the outside of the movable plate 16, which is press-fitted with the inner wall of the exhaust pipe 2 5. A venting groove 15 is provided inside the exhaust pipe 2 5 above the movable plate 16. In order to facilitate exhaust, a mounting plate 11 of a sliding component is welded to the top of the exhaust pipe 2 5. A sliding rod 13 is vertically welded to the top of the movable plate 16. A spring 14 is sleeved on the outside of the sliding rod 13. The top of the sliding rod 13 slides out of the mounting plate 11 and extends to the top where a circular plate 12 is welded, which can prevent the sliding rod 13 from falling off the mounting plate 11.
[0024] Working Principle: In daily cooking, the exhaust pipe 2 (5) can be sealed with the sealing plug 6, while the exhaust pipe 1 (4) is open. Alternatively, both exhaust pipes 1 (4) and 2 (5) can be opened simultaneously for normal use. When simmering or stewing needs to be shortened, exhaust pipe 1 (4) can be sealed with the sealing plug 6, and the sealing plug 6 on exhaust pipe 2 (5) can be removed. Combined with the sealing ring 2 on the side of the lid body 1, the pot body can be sealed. As the high-temperature steam cannot escape freely, the internal pressure gradually increases, thus accelerating simmering. With the increase in pressure, the moving plate... 16 generates an upward thrust, which in turn causes the slide bar 13 to slide on the mounting plate 11. The spring 14 contracts under force to store potential energy, and the moving plate 16 moves into the vent groove 15. The internal steam can be discharged from the exhaust pipe 2 5 to relieve pressure. After pressure relief, it resets under the action of the potential energy of the spring 14 to seal. Repeating the above operation can speed up stewing and ensure safety. When the handle 3 needs to be disassembled and replaced, it can be removed from the limiting hole 10 by pressing the elastic element 9, and then the handle 3 can be pulled down to remove the handle 3 from the pot lid body 1 to complete the disassembly and facilitate replacement.
