Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of frying pan technology, and more specifically, to a frying pan that is easy to stack and store. Background Technology

[0002] Frying pans are common cooking utensils, typically round and shallow, often with a handle. They come in various materials, such as stainless steel, cast iron, and aluminum alloy, and often have a non-stick coating. Because of their even heat distribution and ease of use, they are suitable for various cooking methods such as frying, stir-frying, and grilling, making them an essential tool in both home and restaurant kitchens.

[0003] Most existing frying pans use a fixed handle and lug design. While this traditional structure meets basic grip requirements, it also presents significant storage and safety issues. The fixed handle and lug extend laterally to the outside of the pan, greatly increasing its overall width. For example, a common 28cm diameter frying pan, with the fixed handle, can reach a total width of over 40cm, making it difficult to fit directly into cabinet drawers less than 45cm deep, hindering storage and portability. Furthermore, the protruding fixed handle is prone to bumping into people or other objects, increasing the risk of the pan or other items tipping over. Utility Model Content

Detailed Implementation

[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] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, this utility model provides a flat-bottomed pan that is easy to stack and store, including a pan body 1. An installation component 2 is installed on the right side of the pan body 1, and a handle component 3 is installed on the right side of the installation component 2. A positioning component 4 is installed on the top of the handle component 3. A connecting component 5 is installed on the left side of the pan body 1, and a lifting lug component 6 is installed on the outer side of the connecting component 5. The installation component 2 includes an installation frame 201 fixedly connected to the right side of the pan body 1, and a fixing shaft 202 fixedly connected to the inner side of the installation frame 201. The handle component 3 includes a connecting block 301 movably sleeved on the outer side of the fixing shaft 202, and a handle rod 302 fixedly connected to the right side of the connecting block 301. A handle glove 303 is fixedly sleeved on the right side of the outer side of the handle 302. The positioning assembly 4 includes a fixing block 401 fixedly connected to the top of the mounting frame 201 and a fixing frame 402 fixedly connected to the top of the handle 302. A cylindrical groove 421 is opened on the inner side of the fixing frame 402. A positioning rod 404 is movably sleeved on the left side of the fixing frame 402. A control rod 403 is fixedly connected to the right side of the positioning rod 404. A handle ring 405 is fixedly connected to the right side of the control rod 403. A first spring 406 is movably sleeved on the outer side of the control rod 403. The first spring 406 is located between the positioning rod 404 and the right side of the inner wall of the cylindrical groove 421.

[0023] In this embodiment, when the frying pan needs to be stored, the control rod 403 is pulled to the right by the handle ring 405, thereby pulling the positioning rod 404 away from the inside of the positioning hole 411. Then, the handle assembly 3 can be rotated to the back with the fixed shaft 202 as the center, so that the handle assembly 3 fits against the outside of the pan body 1, greatly reducing the overall width of the frying pan, making it easier to store and carry. At the same time, it avoids the situation where the protruding handle assembly 3 is easily bumped into people or other objects, thereby reducing the risk of the pan body 1 or other objects tipping over.

[0024] The mounting frame 201 has an open back and right side. A reinforcing block 203 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the mounting frame 201. The end of the reinforcing block 203 away from the mounting frame 201 is fixedly connected to the right side of the pot body 1.

[0025] The reinforcing block 203 can increase the structural strength of the connection between the mounting component 2 and the pot body 1, and prevent the connection between the mounting component 2 and the pot body 1 from deforming or even breaking due to long-term use.

[0026] The fixing block 401 has a positioning hole 411 on its side, and the positioning rod 404 has a chamfered edge near the edge of the fixing block 401. The positioning rod 404 and the positioning hole 411 are compatible with each other.

[0027] The first spring 406 exerts a leftward pushing force on the positioning rod 404, thereby enabling the positioning rod 404 to be stably inserted into the positioning hole 411, which in turn can position the handle assembly 3 and prevent the handle assembly 3 from wobbling back and forth around the fixed shaft 202.

[0028] The cylindrical groove 421 has a sliding groove 422 on both the front and back sides of its inner wall, and the positioning rod 404 has a positioning slider 407 fixedly connected to both its front and back sides, with the positioning slider 407 slidably connected to the sliding groove 422.

[0029] The positioning slider 407 and the slide groove 422 work together to limit the positioning rod 404, preventing the positioning rod 404 from rotating, and thus preventing the handle ring 405 from rotating and affecting the user's ability to pull the handle ring 405.

[0030] The connecting component 5 includes a mounting block 501 fixedly connected to the left side of the pot body 1. A fixing rod 502 is fixedly connected to the inner side of the mounting block 501. A cylindrical block 503 is fixedly sleeved on the middle of the outer side of the fixing rod 502. A first positioning groove 531 and a second positioning groove 532 are respectively opened on the left side and top of the cylindrical block 503. The lifting lug component 6 includes two connecting plates 601 movably sleeved on the outer side of the fixing rod 502. A lifting lug 602 is fixedly connected to the left side of the inner side of the connecting plate 601. A fixing plate 603 is fixedly connected to the middle of the inner side of the two connecting plates 601. A sliding rod 604 is movably sleeved on the side of the fixing plate 603. A positioning insert 605 is fixedly connected to one end of the sliding rod 604. A handle frame 606 is fixedly connected to the other end of the sliding rod 604. A second spring 607 is movably sleeved on the outer side of the sliding rod 604. The second spring 607 is located between the fixing plate 603 and the positioning insert 605.

[0031] Both the first positioning groove 531 and the second positioning groove 532 are compatible with the positioning insert 605. When the positioning insert 605 is inserted into the inside of the first positioning groove 531, the lifting rod 602 remains in a horizontal state. Pulling the handle frame 606 to the left causes the positioning insert 605 to separate from the inside of the first positioning groove 531. Then, the lifting assembly 6 is flipped upward with the fixing rod 502 as the center, so that the lifting assembly 6 remains in a vertical state. The handle frame 606 is released, and the second spring 607 exerts a downward pushing force on the positioning insert 605, so that the positioning insert 605 is inserted into the inside of the second positioning groove 532, thereby fixing the vertical state of the lifting assembly 6. This further reduces the overall width of the frying pan and improves the convenience of storage and carrying.

[0032] Working principle and usage process of this utility model:

[0033] When the frying pan needs to be stored, pull the control lever 403 to the right by the handle ring 405, thereby pulling the positioning lever 404 away from the inside of the positioning hole 411. Then, the handle assembly 3 can be rotated to the back with the fixed shaft 202 as the center, so that the handle assembly 3 fits against the outside of the pan body 1, greatly reducing the overall width of the frying pan, making it easier to store and carry. At the same time, it avoids the situation where the protruding handle assembly 3 is easily bumped into people or other objects, thereby reducing the risk of the pan body 1 or other objects tipping over.

[0034] Pulling the handle frame 606 to the left causes the positioning insert 605 to separate from the inside of the first positioning groove 531. Then, the handle assembly 6 is flipped upward with the fixing rod 502 as the center, so that the handle assembly 6 is kept in a vertical position. The handle frame 606 is released, and the second spring 607 exerts a downward pushing force on the positioning insert 605, so that the positioning insert 605 is inserted into the inside of the second positioning groove 532, thereby fixing the vertical position of the handle assembly 6. This further reduces the overall width of the frying pan and improves the convenience of storage and carrying.
