Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of oil dispensers, and relates to a multifunctional oil dispenser. Background Technology

[0002] Cooking oil dispensers are common kitchen utensils, and bottled cooking oil is usually dispensed into them. To further expand the uses of cooking oil dispensers, technicians have added an oil spraying mechanism to the traditional dispenser, creating a dual-purpose dispenser that can both pour and spray oil. The spraying mechanism atomizes the oil droplets from the nozzle, allowing for control over the amount of oil used, resulting in more even oil distribution and coverage of a larger area, thus reducing oil waste and cleaning work.

[0003] For example, Chinese utility model CN219289292U (publication date: 2023.07.04) discloses a multi-functional edible oil dispenser that can be used for both spraying and pouring, including an oil dispenser body, an oil dispenser lid, an oil pouring spout, and a nozzle. The key feature is that the oil dispenser lid has an installation opening between the front middle and the top, in which a rotatable gravity-operated flip cover is installed. The gravity-operated flip cover cooperates with the installation opening of the oil dispenser lid to open or close. A pouring switch that can move back and forth is installed on the gravity-operated flip cover. The lower part of the pouring switch is movably connected to the upper part of a lever flip cover, which is rotatably mounted on the gravity-operated flip cover. A flip cover plug at the bottom of the lever flip cover cooperates with the oil pouring spout on the oil dispenser body to open or close. The oil dispenser lid has a nozzle connected to an oil spray pipe, the other end of which is connected to a pump core outlet installed on the oil dispenser body.

[0004] Because cooking oil dispensers are used to dispense bottled cooking oil, they require frequent refilling in addition to pouring and spraying oil. When refilling, the lid of the aforementioned multi-functional cooking oil dispenser needs to be completely removed from the main body. The lid and the main body are usually connected by threads, and to prevent leaks, the connection is typically very secure and difficult to disassemble. Utility Model Content

[0011] In the aforementioned multifunctional oil bottle, the side wall of the upper cover is provided with circumferentially distributed strip-shaped through holes, and the locking plate is provided with an operating rod that passes through the strip-shaped through holes. The operating rod rotates along the area defined by the strip-shaped through holes and drives the locking plate to rotate. When the operating rod is located at both ends of the strip-shaped through holes, it corresponds to the locking state and unlocking state of the locking plate, respectively.

[0012] In the aforementioned multifunctional oil bottle, a rotating shaft is provided at the top of the inner lid, and the locking plate is fitted onto the rotating shaft through a through-hole structure and rotates around the rotating shaft.

[0013] In the aforementioned multifunctional oil dispenser, the rotating shaft is a flexible shaft, the vertical diameter of the strip-shaped through hole is larger than the radial dimension of the operating rod, the upper wall of the strip-shaped through hole is provided with a stop protrusion that divides the strip-shaped through hole into a locking position and an unlocking position, the stop protrusion abuts against the operating rod to form a limiting structure, and the operating rod disengages from the stop protrusion after being pressed down; preferably, the rotating shaft is made of plastic, silicone or rubber.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, this utility model has the following advantages:

[0015] This utility model provides a multi-functional oil dispenser with three usage modes: first, oil filling mode, where the top cover is opened by operating the oil filling unlock button; second, oil spraying mode, where the gravity-operated flip cover is locked by rotating the locking plate; and third, a dual-use mode, where the gravity-operated flip cover is opened by rotating the locking plate. In summary, the multi-functional oil dispenser provided by this utility model can flexibly switch between these three usage modes, enabling more convenient oil filling, spraying, and pouring.

[0023] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. See also: Figure 1-4 :

[0024] A multifunctional oil can is provided, comprising an oil spraying mechanism consisting of an oil pump 1, a wrench 2, and a nozzle 3, and an oil pouring mechanism consisting of a gravity flip cover 4 and an oil nozzle 5. The oil can includes a body 6, a middle cover 7, and an upper cover 8. The middle cover 7 is fastened to the body 6. Both the oil spraying mechanism and the oil pouring mechanism are connected to the upper cover 8. One side of the upper cover 8 is hinged to the middle cover 7, and the other side is detachably connected to the middle cover 7 via an oil filling and unlocking button. After the upper cover 8 is unlocked and flipped around its hinge axis, the oil can is in an oil filling state. A locking plate 10 that rotates horizontally is hinged to the top of the upper cover 8. When the locking plate 10 rotates to below the gravity flip cover 4, the locking plate 10 abuts against the bottom of the gravity flip cover 4 and forms a locking structure that prevents the gravity flip cover 4 from flipping.

[0025] Comparison Appendix Figure 1 and attached Figure 3 This embodiment can switch between three states: oil filling, oil spraying, and dual-use. In oil filling state, bottled cooking oil can be poured into the oil container 6; in oil spraying state, the oil spraying mechanism can be used to spray oil mist, and the pouring mechanism is locked in this state; in dual-use state, both the oil spraying mechanism and the pouring mechanism can be used to pour out the oil. Specifically:

[0026] Oil filling state: Press the oil filling unlock button to unlock the upper cover 8 and the middle cover 7. Then, flip the upper cover 8 around its hinge to open it, revealing the middle cover 7 and the inner cavity of the oil container. Cooking oil can then be easily poured in directly. In the other two states, the oil filling unlock button is in the locked state.

[0027] Oil spraying state: Rotate the locking plate 10 to the locked position. At this time, the locking plate 10 abuts against the bottom of the gravity flip cover 4, and the gravity flip cover 4 cannot rotate around its axis, thus making the oil nozzle 5 in a sealed state, and the oil pouring mechanism is unusable. In this state, the pressing wrench 2 drives the cooking oil in the pot body 6 through the oil pump 1 to be atomized and sprayed out through the oil nozzle 5.

[0028] Dual-use mode: When the locking plate 10 is rotated to the unlocked position, and the pot body 6 is tilted, the gravity flip cover 4 flips under the gravity drive of the counterweight, exposing the oil nozzle 5, and the oil in the pot is poured out directly through the oil nozzle 5. When the pot body 6 is placed vertically, oil mist can be sprayed out in the same way as in the spray mode by pressing the wrench 2.

[0029] Comparison Appendix Figure 3 In this embodiment, the hinge structure of the middle cover 7 and the upper cover 8 is as follows: a hinge seat 11 extending upward is provided on one side of the middle cover 7, and hinge shafts are provided on both sides of the hinge seat 11; a hinge groove 12 with a downward opening is provided at the bottom of one side of the upper cover 8, and hinge holes are provided on both sides of the hinge groove 12; the hinge seat 11 is adapted to the hinge groove 12, and the hinge holes are adapted to the hinge shafts.

[0030] Comparison Appendix Figure 5 In this embodiment, the locking structure of the middle cover 7 and the upper cover 8 is as follows: the oil filling unlock button is located on one side of the upper cover 8 and is slidably connected to the upper cover 8; a return spring is provided between the upper cover 8 and the oil filling unlock button to drive the oil filling unlock button to move outward; the lower end of the oil filling unlock button is detachably connected to the middle cover 7; furthermore, an oil filling unlock button mounting base is provided inside the upper cover 8; the oil filling unlock button is inserted into the oil filling unlock button mounting base from bottom to top; the oil filling unlock button slides within the oil filling unlock button mounting base. Further, an outwardly extending latch 13 is provided at the bottom of the oil filling unlock button; a latch groove 14 is provided on the inner sidewall of the middle cover 7 to cooperate with the latch 13; the latch 13 and the latch groove 14 form an axial locking structure. In the initial state, the spring force of the return spring presses the locking head 13 of the oil filling unlock button into the slot 14. The locking head 13 and the slot 14 form an axial limiting structure. Since the other side of the middle cover 7 and the upper cover 8 are hinged, the locking head 13 and the slot 14 prevent the upper cover 8 from rotating around its hinge axis. Therefore, the upper cover 8 and the middle cover 7 are in a locked state. When unlocking is required, the oil filling unlock button is pressed, the return spring is compressed, and at the same time, the locking head 13 moves inward with the oil filling unlock button. After the locking head 13 disengages from the slot 14, the locked state is released.

[0031] Comparison Appendix Figure 2 and attached Figure 6 In this embodiment, the operating structure of the locking plate 10 is as follows: the side wall of the upper cover 8 is provided with strip-shaped through holes 15 distributed in the circumferential direction, and the locking plate 10 is provided with an operating rod 16 passing through the strip-shaped through holes 15. The operating rod 16 rotates along the area defined by the strip-shaped through holes 15 and drives the locking plate 10 to rotate. When the operating rod 16 is located at both ends of the strip-shaped through holes 15, it corresponds to the locking state and unlocking state of the locking plate 10, respectively.

[0032] Furthermore, a rotating shaft 17 is provided at the top of the inner part of the upper cover 8, and the locking plate 10 is fitted onto the rotating shaft 17 through a through hole structure and rotates around the rotating shaft 17.

[0033] To prevent the operating lever 16 from shaking under external force, this embodiment further adds a gear shift structure to limit its shaking: the rotating shaft 17 is a flexible shaft, the vertical diameter of the strip-shaped through hole 15 is larger than the radial dimension of the operating lever 16, the upper wall of the strip-shaped through hole 15 is provided with a gear shift protrusion 18, which divides the strip-shaped through hole 15 into a locking gear and an unlocking gear. The gear shift protrusion 18 abuts against the operating lever 16 to form a limiting structure. After the operating lever 16 is pressed down, it disengages from the gear shift protrusion 18. Preferably, the rotating shaft 17 is made of plastic, silicone, or rubber. When it is necessary to switch gears, the operating lever 16 is pressed down, the rotating shaft 17 deforms, and the operating lever 16 can be displaced downwards. The operating lever 16 disengages from the gear shift protrusion 18 and can slide to another gear. After the operating lever 16 is released, the rotating shaft 17 returns to its original deformation, and the operating lever 16 re-engages with the gear shift protrusion 18.

[0034] The above embodiments are merely preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present utility model. Therefore, all equivalent changes made to the structure, shape, and principle of the present utility model should be covered within the scope of protection of the present utility model.
