Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cooking container technology, and in particular to a pot that can hold a spatula. Background Technology
[0002] Chinese patent CN215650594U discloses a pot lid structure for holding a spatula. The structure includes a pot lid and a spatula. The top of the pot lid has a handle, and the top of the handle has a placement groove. The spatula is placed in the placement groove. The spatula has a placement part located at the balance center of the spatula. The shape of the placement groove matches the shape of the bottom surface of the placement part. The pot lid structure is used in conjunction with a cookware, which includes a pot body and a handle.
[0003] When the cookware is placed horizontally, the spatula can rest horizontally on the handle of the lid by relying on the cooperation of the placement part and the placement groove. This method is convenient for temporarily placing the spatula when the cookware is placed directly on the stove. However, when storing the cookware in a cabinet, people usually stack multiple cookware and then invert the lids on the cookware to reduce the overall height of the cookware and thus reduce the space occupied by the cookware in the cabinet. At this time, there is no suitable place to place the spatula on the cookware or the lid, and an extra spatula needs to be placed. Therefore, the above-mentioned method of placing cookware is relatively simple and cannot reasonably place the spatula when storing it in a cabinet. Utility Model Content
[0004] In view of the shortcomings of existing cookware with spatula placement, which has limited placement options and cannot properly accommodate spatulas when the cookware is stored in a cabinet, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a cookware that can properly accommodate spatulas whether the cookware is placed on the stove or stored in a cabinet.
[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention provides a solution through the following technical method:
[0006] A cookware for holding a spatula includes a pot body, a pot lid, and a spatula. The outer wall of the pot body has pot handles, and the pot lid has a handle. Both the pot handles and the handle have a placement position for holding the spatula. The placement position includes a slot formed in the pot handles and the handle. The handle of the spatula has a raised rib for insertion into the slot for positioning.
[0007] Using the above solution, both the pot handles and the lid handles of the cookware can be used to place the spatula. When the cookware is placed on the stovetop, the spatula can be placed on the lid handle for easy access. When the cookware is stored in the cabinet, the spatula can be placed on the pot handles without any additional placement, which is very convenient.
[0008] Preferably, the spatula is provided with a limiting structure that prevents the spatula from disengaging from the slot when the pot body or pot lid is upright or tilted vertically.
[0009] In adopting the above solution, considering that some users are accustomed to hanging cookware on the wall or using a bracket to support the cookware and lid, in order to take into account the usage habits of these users, this solution adds a limiting structure to the spatula. When the cookware or lid is hung up or vertically supported, the spatula can still be stably placed on the handle or handle.
[0010] Preferably, the limiting structure includes limiting grooves on both sides of the rib. When the spatula is flipped with the contact point between the rib and the slot as the fulcrum, the limiting groove and the slot are corner-locked at the opening to prevent the rib from disengaging from the slot.
[0011] Using the above scheme, the cookware is in a vertical position. When the rib is inserted into the slot, under the influence of gravity, the side of the rib will first contact the lower side wall of the slot. Since the spatula and the rib are a whole, its center of gravity is mainly concentrated on one side of the spatula. Therefore, the spatula will flip with the contact point between the rib and the slot as the fulcrum. During the flipping process, the other side of the rib will abut against the corner formed at the opening of the slot. At this time, the spatula's movement changes from flipping to sliding. During the sliding process, the limiting groove gradually approaches the opening of the slot. Then, the corner at the opening of the slot falls into the limiting groove with the slight flipping of the spatula and changes to sliding again until the side wall of the limiting groove abuts against the corner at the opening of the slot. The two interlock, preventing the spatula from leaving the slot.
[0012] Preferably, the pot ears are symmetrically arranged on the outer wall of the pot body, and one of the pot ears is detachably equipped with a handle.
[0013] Preferably, the end of the handle is provided with a protruding insertion member with a bent end for inserting into and locking the slot, and a locking member that is telescopically mounted on the handle and restricts the insertion member from disengaging from the slot when extended. The handle is provided with a receiving groove for inserting the insertion member and the locking member and for accommodating the telescopic movement of the locking member.
[0014] Using the above solution, the handle of the cookware can be removed during transportation, reducing the overall length of the cookware. When packaging the cookware, simply stack the handle and spatula on the pot body. After unpacking, users can quickly connect the pot handle using the plug-in and locking parts on the handle, simplifying the installation process.
[0015] Preferably, the locking component includes a locking block that is telescopically disposed at the end of the handle and an operating block that extends on the locking block and protrudes from the outer wall of the handle. A spring is provided between the receiving groove and the locking component to drive the locking block to remain in the extended state.
[0016] Using the above solution, when installing the handle, you only need to move the operating block to retract the locking block into the receiving groove, insert the plug-in component into the slot, and then release the operating block. The spring will drive the locking block to extend and lock the plug-in component, making the operation very convenient.
[0017] Preferably, the plug-in component is connected to the handle by bolts, and the handle has a through hole for the bolt to pass through and connect to the plug-in component. The operating block can block the through hole.
[0018] Preferably, the operating block is equipped with a foolproof component to prevent accidental operation of the block from unlocking the lock.
[0019] Preferably, the foolproof component includes a ball screw provided on the operating block. When the locking block is in the extended state, the end of the ball screw can extend into the tool hole on the bolt to restrict the operating block from retracting. The operating block has a threaded hole for the ball screw to be screwed in.
[0020] Using the above solution, when the ball at the end of the ball screw pops out, it is located in the tool hole of the bolt. If the operating block is to be moved backward, it is necessary to overcome the elastic force of the spring inside the ball screw to push the ball back into the ball screw. Even if there is a mis-touch, the operating block will not move easily, which can effectively prevent the handle from being dislodged from the pot body due to the user's mis-touch action.
[0021] This utility model has significant technical effects due to the adoption of the above technical solutions: the pot handles and lid handles of the pot in this solution can be used to place the spatula. When the pot is placed on the stove, the spatula can be placed on the lid handle for easy access. When the pot is stored in the cabinet, the spatula can be placed on the pot handle without additional placement, which is very convenient. Attached Figure Description

[0032] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.
[0033] Example 1
[0034] A cookware that can hold a spatula 3, according to Figures 1-3 As shown, the pot includes a pot body 1, a pot lid 2, a handle 4, and a spatula 3. The outer wall of the pot body 1 is symmetrically provided with pot ears 101, and the top of the pot lid 2 is provided with a handle 201. Both the pot ears 101 and the handle 201 are provided with slots 5. The outer wall of the spatula 3 is provided with a protruding rib 301 that can be inserted into the slot 5 for positioning. The spatula 3 can be placed horizontally on the pot ears 101 or the handle 201 by means of the cooperation between the protruding rib 301 and the slot 5.
[0035] Based on the above structure, it can be seen that the pot handle 101 and the lid handle 201 of the pot in the embodiment can both be used to place the spatula 3. When the pot is placed on the stove, the spatula 3 can be placed on the lid handle 201 for easy access. When the pot is stored in the cabinet, the spatula 3 can be placed on the pot handle 101 without additional placement, which is very convenient.
[0036] Example 2
[0037] Based on Embodiment 1, this embodiment further defines a cookware that can hold a spatula 3. The spatula 3 is provided with a limiting structure that prevents the spatula 3 from disengaging from the slot 5 when the pot body 1 or the pot lid 2 is upright or vertically tilted. Figures 4-6 As shown, the limiting structure includes limiting grooves 6 opened on both sides of the protruding rib 301. When the spatula 3 is flipped with the contact point between the protruding rib 301 and the slot 5 as the fulcrum, the limiting groove 6 and the slot 5 are corner-locked at the opening to restrict the protruding rib 301 from disengaging from the slot 5.
[0038] The purpose of this embodiment is to accommodate users who are accustomed to hanging cookware on the wall or setting it up on a stand. When the cookware is hung or set up, it is in a vertical position. When the protruding rib 301 is inserted into the slot 5, under the influence of gravity, the side of the protruding rib 301 will first contact the lower side wall of the slot 5. Since the spatula 3 and the protruding rib 301 are a whole, its center of gravity is mainly concentrated on one side of the spatula 3. Therefore, the spatula 3 will flip with the contact point between the protruding rib 301 and the slot 5 as the fulcrum. During the flipping process, the other side of the protruding rib 301 will abut against the corner formed at the opening of the slot 5. At this time, the movement of the spatula 3 changes from flipping to sliding. During the sliding process, the limiting groove 6 gradually approaches the opening of the slot 5. Then, the corner at the opening of the slot 5 falls into the limiting groove 6 with the slight flipping of the spatula 3 and changes to sliding again until the side wall of the limiting groove 6 abuts against the corner at the opening of the slot 5. The two interlock, preventing the spatula 3 from leaving the slot 5.
[0039] In this solution, the limiting structure ensures that the spatula 3 can still be stably placed on the pot handle 101 or the handle 201 when the pot or lid 2 is hung up or erected vertically, making the pot adaptable to various storage methods and more convenient and practical.
[0040] Example 3
[0041] Based on Embodiment 1, this embodiment further defines a cookware capable of holding a spatula 3, according to... Figures 7-9 As shown, the handle 4 is detachably mounted on one of the pot ears 101. The end of the handle 4 is fixedly provided with a plug-in component 7 whose end is bent and the bent part is used to insert into and lock the slot 5. The handle 4 is telescopically provided with a locking component that restricts the plug-in component 7 from disengaging from the slot 5 when it is extended. The locking component includes a locking block 9 telescopically mounted on the end of the handle 4 and an operating block 10 extending on the locking block 9 and protruding from the outer wall of the handle 4. The handle 4 is provided with a receiving groove 8 for the plug-in component 7 and the locking component to be inserted and for accommodating the telescopic movement of the locking component. A spring 11 is provided between the receiving groove 8 and the locking component to drive the locking block 9 to remain in the extended state.
[0042] according to Figure 7 or Figure 9 As shown, the plug-in component 7 and the handle 4 are connected by bolts 12. The handle 4 has a through hole 13 for the bolt 12 to pass through and connect to the plug-in component 7. The operating block 10 can block the through hole 13. The operating block 10 is provided with a foolproof component to prevent the lock block 9 from being unlocked due to accidental operation of the operating block 10. The foolproof component includes a ball screw 14 provided on the operating block 10. When the lock block 9 is in the extended state, the end of the ball screw 14 can extend into the tool hole on the bolt 12 to limit the retraction of the operating block 10. The operating block 10 has a threaded hole 15 for the ball screw 14 to be screwed in.
[0043] According to the above structure, the steel ball at the end of the ball screw 14 in this embodiment is located in the tool hole of the bolt 12 when it pops out. If the operating block 10 is to be moved backward, it is necessary to overcome the elastic force of the spring 11 inside the ball screw 14 in order to push the steel ball back into the ball screw 14. Even if the operation block 10 is accidentally touched, it will not move easily, which can effectively prevent the handle 4 from being dislodged from the pot body 1 due to the user's accidental touch.
[0044] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the utility model.
