Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model relates to an oil can. BACKGROUND

[0002] Chinese patent application publication No. CN112278584A discloses a container cover with a high funnel and its protection device, and Chinese utility model publication No. CN217599260U discloses a container cover and its container. Although both have the function of adding oil through the funnel, when applied to small-diameter containers, the oil may overflow from the oil inlet channel of the funnel when the user pours the oil in a hurry, which is inconvenient to use. In addition, the function is relatively single and cannot meet the demand of brushing oil with an oil brush or spraying oil. Although brushing oil with an oil brush or spraying oil is not a common demand in daily cooking, occasionally brushing oil on food for barbecue or spraying a small amount of olive oil on food is also a common function in modern life. SUMMARY

[0003] In order to overcome the problem that the oil may overflow from the oil inlet channel of the funnel when the user pours the oil in a hurry in the prior art oil can, the utility model provides a multifunctional oil can, which is improved in the oil inlet channel of the funnel, effectively avoiding the overflow of oil from the oil inlet channel of the funnel when pouring, and is more convenient to use.

[0004] The utility model solves the technical problems by adopting the following technical scheme:

[0005] A multifunctional oil can, comprising an oil can body and a can cover, the oil can body is sealedly connected with the can cover, a high funnel is arranged on the upper part of the can cover, a tubular oil outlet is sealedly connected to the can cover, the can cover is provided with a funnel oil inlet, the funnel oil inlet is sealedly connected with a flexible tube in the lower part of the oil can body, the flexible tube is inclined with the whole oil can when pouring, and the flexible tube is deformed downward under the action of gravity, so that the oil inlet channel thereof is gradually reduced or even completely closed.

[0006] Further, the axial and radial wall thicknesses of the flexible tube are the same.

[0007] Alternatively, the axial wall thickness of the flexible tube gradually increases from top to bottom.

[0008] Alternatively, the radial wall thickness of the flexible tube gradually increases from the side far away from the tubular oil outlet to the side close to the tubular oil outlet.

[0009] Alternatively, the flexible tube is a stepped tube from top to bottom, and the wall thickness of the upper part is smaller than that of the lower part.

[0010] Alternatively, the lower end of the flexible tube is provided with a counterweight.

[0011] Further, the kettle cover and the high funnel are integrally formed by pouring,

[0012] Further, a protective cover is hingedly connected above the kettle cover, and the protective cover can shield and protect the tubular liquid outlet and the high funnel after being folded.

[0013] Preferably, the protective cover is provided with a clamping groove structure, which is adapted to the clamping part of the oil brush, the needle cylinder or the forceps.

[0014] The kettle cover is provided with a kettle handle, and the lower part of the kettle handle is connected with a spray kettle or a measuring cup.

[0015] Preferably, the lower part of the kettle handle is threadedly connected with the upper end of the spray kettle or the measuring cup.

[0016] The technical concept of the utility model is that when the flexible structure formed by the flexible material is connected with the rigid structure, the flexible material can be constrained by the connected rigid structure under the action of gravity, and corresponding constraint bending occurs. This is because the rigid structure does not bend under the action of gravity, and the connection relationship between the rigid structure and the flexible structure will not change due to the action of gravity. Therefore, when the flexible structure formed by the connected flexible material bends under the action of gravity, the connected rigid structure will constrain the flexible material at the connection, which has a decisive effect on the bending structure form of the flexible material. On the contrary, when the flexible structure formed by the flexible material changes the relative direction under the action of gravity and restores to the state of not bending, the connected rigid structure will have an effect on the structure state of the flexible material at the connection.

[0017] The oil inlet channel of the high funnel is sealingly connected with a flexible pipe. The flexible pipe can automatically deform and reduce the oil inlet under the action of gravity when the oil kettle is inclined during oil pouring operation, until the oil inlet is completely closed, thereby avoiding the overflow of oil from the inlet channel of the funnel during the too rapid oil pouring operation. When the oil kettle is normally placed horizontally, the flexible pipe will restore to the tubular channel state under the action of gravity.

[0018] In addition, a small pressing spray kettle or a measuring cup is movably connected to the lower part of the oil kettle handle, and an oil brush, a needle cylinder or forceps can be movably attached to the upper part of the funnel. The oil brush, the spray oil function and other functions are combined.

[0019] The utility model has the advantages of effectively avoiding the overflow of oil from the inlet channel of the funnel during oil pouring, being convenient to use, and having rich functions, such as the oil brushing, the oil spraying and other functions, which effectively meet the requirements of the oil brushing, the oil spraying and other functions.

[0022] Fig. 3 is the state diagram of the flexible pipe when the oil pouring operation is 90 degrees. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0023] The utility model will be further described below with reference to the drawings.

[0024] Referring to Figs. 1-3 A multifunctional oil can comprises an oil can body 1 and a can cover 2, the oil can body 1 is sealingly connected with the can cover 2, the upper portion of the can cover is provided with a high funnel 2b, a tubular oil outlet 3 is sealingly connected to the can cover 2, the can cover is provided with a funnel oil inlet 2a, the funnel oil inlet 2a is sealingly connected with a flexible pipe 8 extending into the lower portion of the can body, the flexible pipe is inclined with the whole oil can during the oil pouring operation, the flexible pipe is deformed by gravity to gradually reduce or even completely close the oil inlet channel.

[0025] Further, the axial and radial pipe wall thickness of the flexible pipe is the same.

[0026] Alternatively, the axial pipe wall thickness of the flexible pipe is gradually thickened from top to bottom.

[0027] Alternatively, the radial pipe wall thickness of the flexible pipe is gradually thickened from the side far away from the tubular oil outlet 3 to the side close to the tubular oil outlet 3.

[0028] Alternatively, the flexible pipe is a stepped pipe from top to bottom, and the upper pipe wall thickness is smaller than the lower pipe wall thickness.

[0029] Alternatively, the lower end of the flexible pipe is provided with a counterweight.

[0030] The can cover 2 and the high funnel 2b are integrally cast,

[0031] The can cover 2 is hingedly connected with a cover guard 4, and the cover guard 4 can shield and protect the tubular oil outlet 3 and the high funnel 2b after being folded.

[0032] Preferably, the cover guard 4 is provided with a clamping groove structure 4a, and the clamping groove structure 4a is adapted to the clamping part 5a of an oil brush 5, a needle cylinder or a forceps.

[0033] More preferably, the cover guard 4 is provided with an operating handle 4b, which facilitates the operation of the cover guard.

[0034] The can cover 2 is provided with a can handle 6, and the lower portion of the can handle 6 is provided with a spray can 7 or a measuring cup.

[0035] Preferably, the lower part of the handle 6 is screwed with the upper end of the sprinkler 7 or the measuring cup; for example, the lower part of the handle 6 is provided with an inner threaded hole, and the top of the sprinkler 7 or the measuring cup is provided with a connecting screw rod. Of course, other connection methods can also be used.

[0036] Fig. 2 As shown, when the oil pouring operation is performed, as the oil can body 1 and the can cover 2 are tilted towards the tubular oil outlet 3, the funnel oil inlet 2a with the flexible tube 8 is also tilted, the flexible tube 8 is deformed by sagging under the action of gravity, and the oil inlet channel is reduced. When it is tilted to the horizontal position, as shown, Fig. 3 As shown, the sagging deformation of the flexible tube under the action of gravity completely closes the oil inlet channel; in this scheme, the flexible tube 8 plays the function of a “one-way valve” during the oil pouring operation.

[0037] Fig. 3 As shown, the setting of the funnel oil inlet 2a is 90°, and when α is greater than 90°, the sagging deformation of the flexible tube under the action of gravity completely closes the oil inlet channel when the oil can is not tilted to the horizontal position, and continues to be in the completely closed state.

[0038] The axial and radial wall thicknesses of the flexible tube of the embodiment can be the same, and the axial and radial wall thicknesses can also be non-uniform. When tilted, it will correspondingly deform by bending under the action of gravity. The principle is that the bendability of the flexible tube is inversely proportional to the wall thickness, that is, the thicker the wall, the less likely it is to bend, and vice versa. Therefore, when the wall thickness of the hollow tube of the flexible material increases to a certain extent, it may not be able to deform by bending under its own gravity, and can be used as a relatively rigid structure.

[0039] Whether the flexible tube of the embodiment bends at a specific location also depends on the relative direction and size of the gravity of the extension end, that is, the greater the gravity of the extension end, the more likely it is to bend. According to this principle, adding a counterweight in the direction of the extension end can also make the flexible tube more likely to bend. The counterweight can be an increased thickness of the same material or an additional dedicated counterweight, and can especially be a hollow ring type counterweight with increased density.

[0040] According to the above principle, it is possible to design a flexible tube structure that can quickly close the internal channel by bending under the action of gravity and quickly restore the internal channel after the gravity is restored to the straight wall direction. This feature structure of the utility model can actually be used in other fields that need to select a one-way fluid control.

[0041] As a common sense, the inner diameter of the flexible tube can be constant or can vary along the length of the tube according to the needs of the utility model.

[0042] The clamping groove structure 4a on the protective cover 4 can be matched with the clamping part 5a of the oil brush 5, and can also be a magnetic attraction structure or a hook suspension structure.

[0043] As an alternative to the spray pot 7, the measuring cup with a threaded opening can also be used. As with the spray pot, the measuring cup is a daily necessity with low frequency of use, and it is often unknown where to store it, which is a waste. The measuring cup of the present solution solves this problem.

[0044] The content of the embodiments of the present application is only a list of implementation forms of the utility model concept, and is only used for illustration. The protection scope of the present application should not be regarded as limited to the specific forms described in the embodiments, and the protection scope of the present application also extends to the equivalent technical means that can be thought of by those skilled in the art according to the concept of the present application.
