Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of kitchen utensils technology, and in particular to a splash guard and cooking utensil. Background Technology
[0002] During cooking, oil splattering from the pan can easily stain the countertop and cause burns. To prevent this, a splash guard can be used to cover the opening of the pan to prevent oil splattering.
[0003] In the existing technology, the splash guard is prone to slippage, which causes gaps between the guard and the pot opening. Oil splashes out through these gaps, causing inconvenience during daily use and posing a safety hazard. Utility Model Content
[0004] This application provides a splash guard and a cooking utensil, which can limit the displacement of the splash guard during use, thereby improving the safety and reliability of use.
[0005] The first aspect of this application provides a cooking appliance, the cooking appliance comprising: a splash guard, the splash guard including a limiting protrusion; a pot body; wherein the splash guard covers the opening of the pot body, and the limiting protrusion is used to abut against the edge of the opening of the pot body.
[0006] In this solution, the splash guard is placed at the opening of the pot to prevent oil from splashing out of the pot, thus preventing oil from staining the stove and causing burns to people.
[0007] A second aspect of this application provides a splash guard, the splash guard comprising: a body including a plurality of mesh openings; and a limiting protrusion directly or indirectly connected to the body; wherein the limiting protrusion protrudes in a direction away from the body.
[0008] In this design, when the splash guard is closed over the pot opening, the multiple mesh openings on the splash guard allow visibility inside the pot while preventing oil from splashing. The limiting protrusions, extending away from the main body, abut against the edge of the pot opening, restricting the movement of the splash guard relative to the pot. This prevents gaps between the splash guard and the pot opening from causing oil to splash, thus improving the safety and reliability of the splash guard during use.
[0009] In one possible design, the splash guard further includes a reinforcing rib fixedly connected to the body, and the limiting protrusion is disposed on the reinforcing rib.
[0010] In this design, the reinforcing ribs are fixedly connected to the main body, which increases the strength of the main body, reduces the risk of bending deformation or even damage to the splash guard, and extends the service life of the splash guard. Furthermore, placing the limiting protrusions on the reinforcing ribs ensures that the limiting protrusions have sufficient structural strength, reducing wear and deformation under external loads and further extending the service life of the splash guard.
[0011] In one possible design, the splash guard includes a plurality of the limiting protrusions, at least some of which are distributed radially spaced along the splash guard.
[0012] In this design, at least some of the limiting protrusions are radially spaced along the splash guard. The radially spaced limiting protrusions can adapt to pots of different diameters, so that when the splash guard covers pots of different diameters, at least one limiting protrusion abuts against the edge of the pot opening. This allows the splash guard to effectively restrict the movement of the splash guard relative to the pot when used with pots of different diameters, thus providing a high splash protection effect when used with pots of different diameters.
[0013] In one possible design, the splash guard includes a plurality of the limiting protrusions, at least some of which are spaced apart circumferentially along the splash guard.
[0014] In this solution, when the splash guard is placed over the opening of the pot, at least some of the circumferentially distributed limiting protrusions can abut against the edge of the pot opening, thereby improving the limiting effect of the limiting protrusions and the opening of the pot, and further reducing the risk of the splash guard effect decreasing due to the movement of the splash guard relative to the pot.
[0015] In one possible design, the reinforcing rib includes a central region and edge regions located on both sides of the central region, and the limiting protrusion is disposed in the edge region;
[0016] The length of the edge region is L1, and the length of the middle region is L2, where 0.7 ≤ L1 / L2 ≤ 1.2.
[0017] In this design, the reinforcing ribs are divided into a middle region and an edge region. The limiting protrusions are located in the edge region. When the ratio of the edge region length L1 to the middle region length L2 (L1 / L2) is too small, the edge region is too short, resulting in an insufficient radial dimension for the limiting protrusions along the splash guard. This leads to a small radial distance between adjacent limiting protrusions, rendering the splash guard ineffective in limiting the movement of pots with significantly different diameters, thus exhibiting poor versatility. Conversely, when the ratio of the edge region length L1 to the middle region length L2 (L1 / L2) is too large, the edge region is too large relative to the middle region, potentially wasting the limiting protrusions near the middle region. In this design, 0.7 ≤ L1 / L2 ≤ 1.2 ensures that when adapting to pots of different diameters, the limiting protrusions in the edge region effectively limit the relative movement between the splash guard and the pot, while avoiding the waste of limiting protrusions due to an excessively long edge region.
[0018] In one possible design, the cross-section of the limiting protrusion is an inverted cone or an arc.
[0019] In this design, the cross-sectional shape of the limiting protrusion is designed as an inverted cone or arc. The inverted cone structure forms a guide surface during the downward pressing of the splash guard, which promotes the fit between the edge of the pot and the side wall of the protrusion, reducing the tendency of the splash guard to slip in the horizontal direction. The inverted cone or arc cross-section can reduce the stress concentration of the limiting protrusion and improve the service life of the splash guard.
[0020] In one possible design, the reinforcing rib is bent to form the limiting protrusion.
[0021] In this solution, specifically in this embodiment, the limiting protrusion is formed by bending the reinforcing rib, making the limiting protrusion and the reinforcing rib integrally molded. This reduces the risk of the limiting protrusion detaching from the reinforcing rib and the risk of fracture caused by stress concentration at the root of the limiting protrusion. At the same time, the integrally molded bending process eliminates the need to connect the limiting protrusion and the reinforcing rib separately, which reduces manufacturing costs and eliminates the potential for failure at the connection interface, ensuring that the splash guard maintains stable limiting function and structural integrity during long-term, high-frequency use.
[0022] In one possible design, the limiting protrusion has a first sidewall and a second sidewall connected to the reinforcing rib, and the included angle α between the first sidewall and the second sidewall satisfies: 30°≤α≤45°.
[0023] In this design, when α is too small, the angle between the first and second sidewalls becomes too sharp, leading to increased stress concentration at the root of the limiting protrusion. This can cause cracks or even breakage after repeated pressure. Furthermore, the sharp angle poses a risk of scratching the pot's surface coating when it contacts the edge. When α is too large, the protrusion effect of the limiting protrusion is insignificant, reducing its limiting function and failing to effectively suppress the horizontal slippage of the splash guard. This design ensures that α satisfies 30°≤α≤45°, guaranteeing sufficient structural strength at the protrusion root to resist external loads while also ensuring a sufficiently inclined contact surface between the limiting protrusion and the pot opening edge, thus providing effective limiting and balancing anti-slip stability and structural durability.
[0024] In one possible design, the splash guard also includes a handle and at least two of the reinforcing ribs, with the distance between the at least two reinforcing ribs gradually increasing in a direction away from the handle.
[0025] In this design, the spacing of the reinforcing ribs of the splash guard gradually increases away from the handle, while the distance between adjacent reinforcing ribs is smaller near the handle. This improves the structural rigidity of the splash guard near the handle, effectively resisting the torsional force and impact load transmitted to the splash guard during handheld operation, and preventing a decrease in the fit between the net and the pot rim due to local deformation. The sparse distribution of the reinforcing ribs, with the spacing gradually increasing towards the far end, optimizes the overall weight distribution of the net, preventing the net surface away from the handle from sagging due to excessive weight, while also taking into account both lightweight requirements and structural reliability.

[0042] 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.
[0043] 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.
[0044] 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.
[0045] 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, or B existing alone. Additionally, the character " / " in this article generally indicates that the preceding and following related objects have an "or" relationship.
[0046] The cooking appliance in this application example includes a splash guard 1 and a pot body 2. During the daily frying process, the splash guard 1 includes a limiting protrusion 121. When the splash guard 1 is placed at the opening of the pot body 2, the limiting protrusion 121 can limit the displacement of the splash guard 1, thereby preventing oil from splashing inside the pot, preventing oil from staining the stove and causing burns to people.
[0047] In one specific implementation, such as Figure 2 As shown, the splash guard 1 includes a body 11 and a limiting protrusion 121. The body 11 includes multiple mesh holes, and the limiting protrusion 121 is directly or indirectly connected to the body 11. The limiting protrusion 121 protrudes in a direction away from the body 11.
[0048] When the splash guard 1 is placed over the opening of the pot body 2, the limiting protrusion 121 abuts against the edge of the opening of the pot body 2.
[0049] In this embodiment, when the splash guard 1 covers the opening of the pot body 2, the multiple mesh holes on the body 11 of the splash guard 1 allow the contents of the pot to be seen and prevent oil from splashing. The limiting protrusion 121, which protrudes away from the body 11, can abut against the edge of the opening of the pot body 2, restricting the movement of the splash guard 1 relative to the pot body 2, thereby preventing gaps from forming between the splash guard 1 and the opening of the pot body 2 that could cause oil to splash, and improving the safety and reliability of the splash guard 1 during use.
[0050] In one specific implementation, such as Figure 2As shown, the splash guard 1 also includes a reinforcing rib 12 fixedly connected to the body 11, and a limiting protrusion 121 is provided on the reinforcing rib 12, that is, the limiting protrusion 121 protrudes in the direction away from the body 11.
[0051] In this embodiment, the reinforcing rib 12 is fixedly connected to the body 11, which increases the strength of the body 11, reduces the risk of bending deformation or even damage to the splash guard 1, and improves the service life of the splash guard 1. Furthermore, the limiting protrusion 121 is disposed on the reinforcing rib 12, giving the limiting protrusion 121 sufficient structural strength, which reduces wear and deformation under external loads, and extends the service life of the splash guard 1.
[0052] In one specific implementation, such as Figure 2 As shown, the splash guard 1 has a plurality of limiting protrusions 121, at least some of which are distributed radially at intervals along the splash guard 1.
[0053] In this embodiment, at least some of the limiting protrusions 121 are radially spaced along the anti-splash net 1. The radially spaced limiting protrusions 121 can adapt to pots 2 of different diameters, so that when the anti-splash net 1 covers pots 2 of different diameters, at least one limiting protrusion 121 abuts against the edge of the opening of the pot 2. This allows the anti-splash net 1 to effectively restrict the movement of the anti-splash net 1 relative to the pot 2 when used with pots 2 of different diameters, and the anti-splash net 1 has a high anti-splash effect when used with pots 2 of different diameters.
[0054] In one specific implementation, such as Figure 2 As shown, the splash guard 1 has a plurality of limiting protrusions 121, at least some of which are distributed at intervals along the circumference of the splash guard 1.
[0055] In this embodiment, when the splash guard 1 covers the opening of the pot body 2, at least part of the circumferentially distributed limiting protrusions 121 can abut against the edge of the opening of the pot body 2, thereby improving the limiting effect of the limiting protrusions 121 and the opening of the pot body 2, and further reducing the risk of the splash guard effect being reduced due to the movement of the splash guard 1 relative to the pot body 2.
[0056] In such Figure 1In the illustrated embodiment, the splash guard 1 includes three sets of limiting protrusions 121 distributed along different circumferences, and each set of limiting protrusions 121 includes four limiting protrusions 121 spaced apart along the same circumference. The three sets of limiting protrusions 121 allow the splash guard 1 to be used with at least three different diameter pot bodies 2. For example, when the splash guard 1 is used with the pot body 2 with the smallest diameter, the four innermost limiting protrusions 121 located radially abut against the inner wall of the pot body 2 to restrict movement of the splash guard 1 relative to the pot body 2. When the splash guard 1 is used with the pot body 2 with the largest diameter, the four outermost limiting protrusions 121 located radially abut against the inner wall of the pot body 2 to restrict movement of the splash guard 1 relative to the pot body 2. When the diameter of the pot body 2 is between the largest and smallest diameters, the four middle limiting protrusions 121 located radially abut against the inner wall of the pot body 2 to restrict movement of the splash guard 1 relative to the pot body 2.
[0057] Of course, the number of 121 limiting protrusions on the splash guard 1 is not limited to... Figure 1 and Figure 2 The illustrated embodiment can also increase or decrease the number and position of the limiting protrusions 121 according to actual conditions. This application does not specifically limit the number or position of the limiting protrusions 121.
[0058] In one specific implementation, such as Figure 1 As shown, the reinforcing rib 12 includes a central region 122 (e.g., Figure 2 The area shown within the dashed box in the diagram is divided into two parts: the middle area 122 and the edge areas 123 located on both sides of the middle area 122. The limiting protrusion 121 is provided in the edge area 123. The length of the edge area 123 is L1, and the length of the middle area 122 is L2. The ratio 0.7 ≤ L1 / L2 ≤ 1.2. For example, L1 / L2 can be: 0.7, 0.75, 0.8, 0.85, 0.9, 0.95, 1, 1.05, 1.1, 1.15, 1.2, etc.
[0059] In this embodiment, the reinforcing rib 12 is divided into a middle region 122 and an edge region 123. A limiting protrusion 121 is disposed in the edge region 123. When the ratio L1 / L2 of the length L1 of the edge region 123 to the length L2 of the middle region 122 is too small, the length of the edge region 123 is short, resulting in an excessively small radial dimension of the limiting protrusion 121 along the splash guard 1. This leads to a small radial distance between adjacent limiting protrusions 121, causing the splash guard 1 to be ineffective in limiting the splash when used with pots 2 with significantly different diameters, resulting in poor versatility. When the ratio L1 / L2 of the length L1 of the edge region 123 to the length L2 of the middle region 122 is too large, the edge region 123 is too large relative to the middle region 122, easily leading to a waste of the limiting protrusion 121 near the middle region 122. In this scheme, 0.7≤L1 / L2≤1.2, so that when the splash guard 1 is adapted to pots 2 of different diameters, it can restrict the relative movement between the splash guard 1 and the pot 2 through the limiting protrusion 121 of the edge region 123, and avoid the waste problem of the limiting protrusion 121 caused by the edge region 123 being too long.
[0060] In one specific implementation, such as Figure 2 As shown, the cross-sectional shape of the limiting protrusion 121 is an inverted cone or an arc.
[0061] In this embodiment, the cross-sectional shape of the limiting protrusion 121 is designed as an inverted cone or an arc. The inverted cone structure forms a guide surface during the downward pressing of the splash guard 1, which causes the edge of the pot body 2 to fit against the side wall of the protrusion, reducing the tendency of the splash guard 1 to slide in the horizontal direction. The inverted cone or arc cross-section can reduce the stress concentration of the limiting protrusion 121 and improve the service life of the splash guard 1.
[0062] In one specific embodiment, the reinforcing rib 12 is bent to form a limiting protrusion 121.
[0063] In this embodiment, the limiting protrusion 121 is formed by bending the reinforcing rib 12, so that the limiting protrusion 121 and the body 11 of the reinforcing rib 12 are integrally formed, thereby reducing the risk of the limiting protrusion 121 detaching from the reinforcing rib 12 and reducing the risk of fracture caused by stress concentration at the root of the limiting protrusion 121; at the same time, the integral forming bending process does not require additional connection between the limiting protrusion 121 and the reinforcing rib 12, which reduces manufacturing costs and eliminates the potential for failure at the connection interface, ensuring that the splash guard 1 maintains stable limiting function and structural integrity during long-term high-frequency use.
[0064] In one specific implementation, such as Figure 3As shown, the limiting protrusion 121 has a first sidewall 1211 and a second sidewall 1212 connected to the reinforcing rib 12. The included angle α between the first sidewall 1211 and the second sidewall 1212 satisfies 30°≤α≤45°. For example, α can be 30°, 32°, 35°, 37°, 39°, 40°, 42°, 43°, 44°, 45°, etc.
[0065] In this embodiment, when α is too small, the angle between the first sidewall 1211 and the second sidewall 1212 is too sharp, leading to increased stress concentration at the root of the limiting protrusion 121. This can cause the limiting protrusion 121 to crack or even break after repeated pressure. Furthermore, the sharp angle poses a risk of scratching the surface coating of the pot body 2 when it contacts the edge. When α is too large, the protrusion effect of the limiting protrusion 121 is not significant, and its limiting function decreases, failing to effectively suppress the horizontal slippage of the anti-splash net 1. In this solution, by ensuring α satisfies 30°≤α≤45°, sufficient structural strength is guaranteed at the root of the protrusion to resist external loads, while also ensuring that the limiting protrusion 121 is sufficiently inclined at the contact surface with the opening edge of the pot body 2, thus achieving an effective limiting function and balancing anti-slip stability and structural durability.
[0066] In one specific implementation, such as Figure 2 As shown, the splash guard 1 also includes a handle 13, and the distance between at least two reinforcing ribs 12 gradually increases in the direction away from the handle 13.
[0067] In this embodiment, the spacing of the reinforcing ribs 12 of the splash guard 1 gradually increases along the direction away from the handle 13, and the distance between adjacent reinforcing ribs 12 in the area near the handle 13 is smaller. This can improve the structural rigidity of the splash guard 1 in the area near the handle 13, effectively resist the torsional force and impact load transmitted to the splash guard 1 during hand operation, and avoid the decrease in the fit between the net and the pot opening due to local deformation. The sparse distribution of the reinforcing ribs 12 with the gradually increasing spacing towards the far end can optimize the overall weight distribution of the net and prevent the net surface in the area away from the handle 13 from sagging due to excessive weight, while taking into account both the need for lightweighting and structural reliability.

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.
