Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cooking device technology, and in particular to a cookware. Background Technology
[0002] As cookware evolves, users' demands for it also increase, such as requiring greater flexibility in the steaming and cooking space of steamers. Current steamers typically have a one-piece, non-removable steaming rack with a fixed usage mode, making it impossible to adjust the mode according to user needs, resulting in a poor user experience. Utility Model Content
[0003] This application provides a cookware for the purpose of increasing the steaming and boiling modes.
[0004] This application provides a cookware, which includes a lid and a body.
[0005] The cookware also includes a detachably connected steaming rack and steaming grate, the steaming rack being able to be supported on the side wall of the cookware.
[0006] The steamer is connected to a support frame, which is used to support the steamer against the bottom wall of the pot.
[0007] In this design, compared to the traditional fixed structure of steaming racks and steamers on the market, the detachable connection of the steaming racks and steamers makes them easier to clean. During cleaning, the steaming racks and steamers are disassembled for separate cleaning, improving their cleanliness. Furthermore, in addition to being used with the steaming rack, the steamer can also be supported by a support frame against the bottom wall of the pot. Compared to the traditional fixed structure, this offers more versatile usage options, allowing users to choose the appropriate mode according to their needs and improving the user experience of the steamer.
[0008] In one possible implementation, the support frame is rotatably connected to the steamer rack so that the support frame is in a supported state or a stored state.
[0009] In this design, when the support frame is in the supporting state, it can support the bottom wall of the pot, allowing the steamer rack supported on the bottom wall of the pot to hold food for steaming. When the support frame is in the storage state, it is folded up and no longer provides support. At this time, the support frame will not interfere with other parts of the pot, reducing the volume of the steamer rack and making it easier to store and arrange in space.
[0010] In this embodiment, the support frame can be easily switched by rotating it to the steamer grate, and the structure is simple.
[0011] In one possible implementation, the steam grate is connected to a mounting block, and the support frame is rotatably connected to the mounting block;
[0012] The mounting block is connected to a blocking part, which is used to abut against the support frame to restrict the support frame from continuing to rotate.
[0013] In this design, the mounting block protrudes from the bottom surface of the steamer, making it easy for the support frame to rotate and connect with the steamer, thus ensuring the structural stability of the support frame connected to the bottom of the steamer.
[0014] The blocking part is used to abut against the support frame to limit the rotation angle range of the support frame. Limiting the rotation angle range ensures the stability of the support frame structure. When the support frame abuts against the blocking part, the support frame is in a supported state. That is, the blocking part can improve the reliability of placing food on the steamer rack when the support frame is in the supported state.
[0015] In one possible implementation, the rotation angle α of the support frame satisfies 0 ≤ α ≤ 120°.
[0016] In this design, the rotation angle of the support frame should not be too large. If it is too large, the supporting force of the support frame will be greatly reduced when it is in the supporting state, and the insufficient supporting force when the steamer rack is supported against the bottom wall of the pot will easily lead to collapse. However, in this embodiment, when 0≤α≤120°, the rotation angle is moderate, and the support frame has the supporting force required for the steaming process when it abuts against the bottom wall of the pot, thus improving the stability of the steamer rack when food is placed on it.
[0017] In one possible implementation, the steamer is also connected to a limiting member located on the side of the support frame away from the blocking portion. The limiting member is used to engage with the support frame to limit the support frame in the stored state.
[0018] In this solution, when the steamer rack does not need to be supported by the bottom wall of the pot, the support frame is rotated to a retracted state that fits against the bottom wall of the steamer rack, and the support frame is engaged with the limiting component to limit the support frame in the retracted state. This improves the stability of the support frame when it is in the retracted state, enhances the aesthetics of the cookware, and improves the user experience of the cookware.
[0019] In one possible implementation, the limiting member has a slot into which a portion of the support frame can engage.
[0020] In this solution, the slot design ensures the stability of the limiting component when it engages with the support frame, improves the reliability of the support frame in the stored state, and reduces manufacturing costs compared to other complex fixing methods.
[0021] In one possible implementation, the support frame includes a first support section and a second support section disposed opposite to each other. The first support section is rotatably connected to the mounting block, and the second support section is used to limit and cooperate with the limiting member or to support the bottom wall of the pot body.
[0022] The support frame also includes a connecting section that connects the first support section and the second support section.
[0023] In this design, when the support frame is in the retracted state, the second support section is used to engage with the limiting component for positioning; when the support frame is in the supported state, the second support section is used to support the bottom wall of the pot. The support frame has an overall rod-like structure, resulting in a lighter overall weight and a simpler structure. Furthermore, the rod-like structure of the first support section facilitates a rotatable connection with the mounting block.
[0024] In one possible implementation, the support frame includes two connecting sections, with the first support section, the second support section, and the two connecting sections forming a trapezoidal structure.
[0025] In this design, the support frame has an overall trapezoidal structure, which provides high reliability. The second support section, which abuts against the bottom wall of the pot, has a flat surface that provides support to the bottom wall of the pot and also offers high reliability.
[0026] The first support section, the second support section, and the two connecting sections of the support frame are integrally formed. Specifically, the support frame can be formed by bending metal rods, which can further simplify the structure of the support frame.
[0027] In one possible implementation, the steam grate is connected to a plurality of support frames that are spaced apart circumferentially along the steam grate.
[0028] In this design, the circumferentially spaced distribution is more conducive to the uniform force distribution of the support frame when it is in the supported state, thus ensuring the stability of the support frame when it is in the supported state.
[0029] In one possible implementation, the bottom of the steamer has a first step and a second step distributed along the height direction of the pot, and along the radial direction of the pot, the second step is located on the side of the first step facing the interior of the pot;
[0030] The first stepped portion is used to abut against the side wall of the pot body, and the second stepped portion is used to abut against the steaming rack.
[0031] In this design, the first step at the bottom of the steamer rack ensures a good seal when the pot is placed on the steamer rack, preventing steam from escaping during steaming and affecting the taste of the food. Meanwhile, the second step, located inside the first step, facilitates a reliable fit between the steamer rack and the steamer rack, making it convenient to use when combined.
[0032] It should be understood that the above general description and the following detailed description are merely exemplary and do not limit this application. Attached Figure Description

At this time, the steaming grate 4 can be used to place the food to be steamed. The steaming space in this usage state is the space above the steaming grate 4 within the accommodating cavity 21 of the pot body 2. Compared to Figure 8 The second state shown, Figure 9 The third state shown omits steamer rack 3, making the steaming space smaller than... Figure 8 The second state of the cooking space is shown.
[0079] In summary, in this embodiment of the application, the cookware with separate steamer rack 3 and steam grate 4, and the steam grate 4 equipped with a support frame 5, can be adjusted in use according to the user's needs, thereby achieving different steaming and cooking spaces and improving the user experience.
[0080] In one specific embodiment, reference is made to... Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the bottom of the steamer 3 has a first step 31 and a second step 32 distributed along the height direction of the pot. Along the radial direction of the pot, the second step 32 is located on the side of the first step 31 facing the inside of the pot.

At the same time, the second step 32 located inside the first step 31 facilitates the reliable connection of the steam rack 4 to the steamer rack 3, making it convenient to operate when the steam rack 4 and the steamer rack 3 are used together.
[0083] The following section describes in detail the specific structure of the support frame 5 and the steam grate 4.
[0084] In one specific embodiment, reference is made to... Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the connection between the bottom of the steam grate 4 and the support member 5 includes a mounting block 6, to which the support frame 5 is rotatably connected. The mounting block 6 protrudes from the bottom surface of the steam grate 4, thereby facilitating the rotatable connection between the support frame 5 and the steam grate 4, and ensuring the structural stability of the support frame 5 connected to the bottom of the steam grate 4.
[0085] exist Figure 4 In the embodiment shown, the mounting block 6 is provided with a rotating hole, a part of the support frame 5 passes through the rotating hole and can rotate within the rotating hole, thereby realizing the rotating connection between the support frame 5 and the steamer 4.
[0086] In some embodiments, reference Figure 4 As shown, the mounting block 6 at the rotatable connection between the steamer rack 4 and the support frame 5 has a blocking part 61 structure. The blocking part 61 is used to abut against the support frame 5 to limit the rotation angle range of the support frame 5. Limiting the rotation angle range ensures the stability of the support frame 5 structure. When the support frame 5 abuts against the blocking part 61, the support frame 5 is in a supported state. That is, the blocking part 61 can improve the reliability of placing food on the steamer rack 4 when the support frame 5 is in the supported state.
[0087] The blocking part 61 can be integrally formed with the mounting block 6, which reduces the risk of the blocking part 61 falling off, thereby improving the reliability when the support frame 5 contacts the blocking part 61.
[0088] In one specific embodiment, reference is made to... Figure 4 and Figure 6 As shown, the rotation angle α of the support frame 5 satisfies 0 ≤ α ≤ 120°. For example, the rotation angle α of the support frame 5 can be 0, 30°, 45°, 90°, 120°, etc.
[0089] In this embodiment, the rotation angle of the support frame 5 should not be too large. If it is too large, the supporting force of the support frame 5 will be greatly reduced when it is in the supporting state. When the steamer rack 4 is supported on the bottom wall 23 of the pot body 2, the supporting force is insufficient and it is easy to collapse. However, in this embodiment, when 0≤α≤120°, the rotation angle is moderate. When the support frame 5 abuts against the bottom wall 23 of the pot body 2, it has the supporting force required for the steaming process, which improves the stability of the steamer rack 4 when food is placed on it.
[0090] In one alternative embodiment, refer to Figure 8 As shown, when α = 90°, the blocking part 61 can limit the maximum rotation angle of the support frame 5 to 90°. That is, when the support frame 5 abuts against the blocking part 61, the support frame 5 is in a support state perpendicular to the steamer 4. At this time, the height difference between the steamer 4 and the bottom wall 23 of the pot body 2 is the largest, that is, the space above the steamer 4 in the pot body 2 cavity 21 is the smallest.
[0091] In one specific embodiment, reference is made to... Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, the bottom of the steamer 4 is also connected to a limiting member 7. The limiting member 7 is located on the side of the support frame 5 away from the blocking part 61. The limiting member 7 is used to limit and cooperate with the support frame 5 so as to limit the support frame 5 to a stored state and prevent it from moving. Reference Figure 6 As shown, when the steamer rack 4 does not need to be supported by the bottom wall 23 of the pot body 2, the support frame 5 is rotated to a storage state that fits against the bottom wall of the steamer rack 4, and the support frame 5 is limited and engaged with the limiting member 7, thereby limiting the support frame 5 to the storage state, improving the stability of the support frame 5 when it is in the storage state, improving the aesthetics of the cookware, and improving the user experience of the cookware.
[0092] In one specific embodiment, reference is made to... Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, the limiting member 7 has a slot 71, which allows a portion of the support frame 5 to engage with the slot 71 when the support frame 5 is in the retracted state. The slot 71 design ensures the stability of the limiting member 7 when engaged with the support frame 5, improves the reliability of the support frame 5 in the retracted state, and reduces manufacturing costs compared to other complex fixing methods.
[0093] In other embodiments, the limiting engagement between the limiting member 7 and the support frame 5 can also be achieved in other ways, such as by fasteners like screws. This application does not limit the specific connection method between the limiting member 7 and the support frame 5.
[0094] The specific structure of support frame 5 is described in detail below.
[0095] In the above embodiments, reference is made to Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, the support frame 5 includes a first support section 51 and a second support section 52 arranged opposite to each other. The first support section 51 is rotatably connected to the mounting block 6. When the support frame 5 is in the retracted state, the second support section 52 is used to limit the movement of the limiting member 7. When the support frame 5 is in the supported state, the second support section is used to support the bottom wall 23 of the pot body 2. The support frame 5 also includes a connecting section 53 connecting the first support section 51 and the second support section 52. Therefore, the support frame 5 has an overall rod-like structure, which makes the overall weight of the support frame 5 smaller and the structure simpler. Moreover, the rod-like structure of the first support section 51 facilitates rotatable connection with the mounting block 6.
[0096] In one specific embodiment, reference is made to... Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the support frame 5 includes two connecting sections 53, which are respectively connected to the first support section 51 and the second support section 52, so that the support frame as a whole has a trapezoidal structure. The support frame 5 with the trapezoidal structure has high support reliability.
[0097] The first support section 51, the second support section 52, and the two connecting sections 53 of the support frame 5 are integrally formed. Specifically, the support frame 5 can be formed by bending a metal rod, which can further simplify the structure of the support frame 5.
[0098] exist Figure 4 In the embodiment shown, the second support segment 52 that abuts against the bottom wall 23 of the pot body 2 has a plane, which is used to support the bottom wall 23 of the pot body 2 and has high support reliability.
[0099] In one specific embodiment, reference is made to... Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, the bottom of the steaming grate 4 is connected to multiple circumferentially spaced support frames 5 and corresponding limiting components 7. The circumferentially spaced distribution is more conducive to the uniform force distribution of the support frames 5 when they are in the supported state, thus ensuring the stability of the support frames 5 when they are in the supported state.
[0100] In one specific embodiment, reference is made to... Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, the bottom of the steam grate 4 is connected to three support frames 5 and three limiting members 7. The three support frames 5 are roughly arranged in a triangle, and correspondingly, the three limiting members 7 are also roughly arranged in a triangle. When the three support frames 5 at the bottom of the steam grate 4 are arranged in a triangle, the support stability can be improved.
[0101] In addition, Figure 3 and Figure 5 In the embodiment shown, each support frame 5 is located outside the limiting member 7, that is, the support frame 5 is closer to the circumferential edge of the steaming grate 4 than the limiting member 7, thereby further improving the reliability of the support.
[0102] The above descriptions are merely specific implementations of the embodiments of this application, but the protection scope of the embodiments of this application is not limited thereto. Any changes or substitutions within the technical scope disclosed in the embodiments of this application should be covered within the protection scope of the embodiments of this application. Therefore, the protection scope of the embodiments of this application should be determined by the protection scope of the claims.
