Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of kitchen utensils technology, specifically a die-cast aluminum pot. Background Technology

[0002] Die casting is a metal forming process that involves rapidly injecting molten metal into a mold cavity under high pressure, followed by cooling and solidification. Die casting can produce metal products with complex shapes and high dimensional accuracy, while also offering high production efficiency and surface quality. Die-cast aluminum pots are commonly used for various kitchen operations such as cooking, frying, and stewing.

[0003] Traditional aluminum clay pot lids typically feature a short, fixed handle at the top center. To open the lid, the handle must be held and lifted vertically. This design has significant drawbacks: the high-temperature steam rises sharply when the lid is lifted, and the operator's hand is easily burned because the grip point overlaps with the steam channel. This is especially dangerous for deep clay pots, where the arm must be suspended directly above the rim of the pot. Furthermore, when the lid is placed on the countertop, there is no support point, and the inside of the lid is usually placed face down, causing oil and water stains from the inside of the lid to adhere to the countertop, resulting in a dirty surface. Utility Model Content

[0023] Please see Figures 1-6 A die-cast aluminum pot includes a pot body 1 and a pot lid 2. The pot lid 2 is provided with an extension handle 3. The extension handle 3 is bent and forms a grip towards the side wall of the pot body. The bottom position of the lowest part of the grip is lower than the bottom position of the pot lid 2. A limiting mechanism 4 is provided on the surface of the extension handle 3. An extension block 5 is fixed to the top of the pot lid 2. A top handle 6 is fixed to the top of the extension block 5. The extension handle 3 is detachably connected to the extension block 5 through the limiting mechanism 4.

[0024] The lid 2 provides an additional gripping point through the extended handle 3, making it easier for users to operate and preventing the upward steam from burning the user's arms when the lid 2 is opened. In order to protect the hands from steam burns, a baffle 15 is fixed at the bottom of the extended handle 3 near the grip to block the steam.

[0025] The limiting mechanism 4 includes a combined shell 401, which is fixedly connected to the surface of the extension handle 3. A sliding groove is provided on the combined shell 401. A limiting block 7 is fixedly provided on the surface of the extension block 5. A slot 9 is provided on the surface of the extension handle 3 to accommodate the limiting block 7. The sliding groove and the slot 9 are interconnected. The limiting block 7 is inserted into the slot 9. The limiting mechanism 4, in conjunction with the limiting mechanism 4, provides stable support for the extension handle 3, preventing the extension handle 3 from accidentally falling off during use. A rectangular frame is fixed to the surface of the combined shell 401. 402, a pressing rod 403 slides through the surface of the rectangular frame 402, a movable plate 404 is fixed to the bottom of the pressing rod 403, a spring 405 is fixed to the bottom of the movable plate 404, the bottom of the spring 405 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the inner wall of the rectangular frame 402, a driving plate 406 is hinged to one end of the movable plate 404, a limiting plate 407 is hinged to the other end of the driving plate 406, the limiting plate 407 is slidably connected in the sliding groove, and a limiting groove 8 is opened on the surface of the limiting block 7 to accommodate the insertion of the limiting plate 407;

[0026] When the limiting block 7 is placed inside the slot 9, the limiting plate 407 will be located in the limiting groove 8, allowing the limiting plate 407 to move together with the limiting block 7 through the limiting groove 8. This enables the extension handle 3 to move the pot lid 2. When the spring 405 is in the reset state, the spring 405 ensures that the limiting plate 407 is normally locked in the limiting groove 8, preventing accidental disengagement during cooking. When disassembly is required, press down the pressing rod 403 to move the movable plate 404 downward and force the spring 405 to compress and store force. At this time, the drive plate 406 will rotate, causing the limiting plate 407 to move away from the limiting groove 8, thereby disconnecting the extension handle 3 from the extension block 5. Then, the extension handle 3 can be pulled to achieve the effect of quick disassembly of the extension handle 3 and the extension block 5.

[0027] Both the limiting plate 407 and the limiting block 7 have inclined surfaces that cooperate with each other;

[0028] The inclined surface design of the limiting plate 407 and the limiting block 7 allows the two to be guided by the inclined surface when they come into contact, which forces the limiting plate 407 to move on its own, so that the movable plate 404 can be pulled down by the drive plate 406, eliminating the step of pressing down the pressing rod 403 and making the installation of the extension handle 3 more convenient.

[0029] Two guide plates 409 are fixed to the inner wall of the combined shell 401. The surface of the limiting plate 407 is provided with a sliding groove for use with the guide plates 409. The guide plates 409 are slidably connected to the surface of the sliding groove.

[0030] The cooperation between the guide plate 409 and the slide groove provides guidance for the movement of the limit plate 407, ensuring that the limit plate 407 remains stable during movement and avoiding limit failure and position deviation due to shaking.

[0031] Two slide rods 408 are fixed to the inner wall of the rectangular frame 402, and the movable plate 404 is slidably connected to the surface of the slide rods 408.

[0032] The slide bar 408 provides stable support for the movement of the movable plate 404, ensuring that the movable plate 404 maintains linear movement during pressing and releasing, and avoiding uneven force or damage to the spring 405 due to tilting.

[0033] Two vertical plates 10 are fixed to the surface of the extension handle 3, and a vertical groove 11 is opened on the surface of the extension block 5 to accommodate the vertical plates 10.

[0034] The vertical plate 10 is inserted into the vertical groove 11, providing additional connection and positioning between the extension handle 3 and the extension block 5, enhancing the structural stability between the two, and further reducing the possibility of the extension handle 3 and the extension block 5 separating due to external forces.

[0035] A sealing ring 12 is fixed at the bottom of the pot lid 2, and a sealing groove 13 is provided on the upper part of the inner wall of the pot body 1 to cooperate with the sealing ring 12.

[0036] When the lid 2 is closed, the sealing ring 12 is embedded in the sealing groove 13. The elastic deformation of the silicone material fills the gap, blocking the steam leakage path, improving cooking efficiency, and preserving the nutrients of the food.

[0037] The bottom of the pot lid 2 is fixed with multiple drainage protrusions 14, which are designed in a semi-circular structure.

[0038] The semi-circular structure increases the surface complexity of the inner wall of the lid 2, changes the flow path of water droplets after steam condensation, and makes the water droplets fall along the semi-circular structure, thereby guiding the formation of water droplets from steam and reducing the accumulation of water droplets on the inner wall of the lid 2.

[0039] Working principle: When cooking, when the pot lid 2 needs to be opened, the user can directly move the pot lid 2 through the extension handle 3, avoiding the risk of steam burns to the arm caused by opening the pot lid 2 through the top handle 6 in the traditional method. At the same time, the extension handle 3 can be removed from the pot lid 2, which reduces the space occupied by the pot lid 2 and also prevents the user from accidentally bumping into the extension handle 3 while moving around in the kitchen. When performing the removal operation, press down the pressing rod 403, causing the drive plate 406 to drive the limiting plate 407 to disengage from the limiting groove 8. At this time, the extension handle 3 can be pulled outward directly, thereby quickly completing the removal of the extension handle 3 from the pot lid 2. This design makes the removal and installation of the extension handle 3 simple, without complicated tools or cumbersome operation steps, greatly improving the convenience of use.

[0040] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
