[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cooking utensils, and in particular to a pot. Background Technology
[0002] Most existing round-bottomed pots have a small contact area between the bottom of the pot and the support surface when placed on it. This results in uneven weight distribution of food inside the pot, or the pot may tip over if the user touches it unintentionally. This can cause food to spill, burns, and other safety hazards, and may also damage the stove or heating equipment, affecting the user's safety and user experience. Utility Model Content
[0003] In view of the above problems, this utility model is proposed to provide a cookware that overcomes or at least partially solves the above problems, and can solve the problem that round-bottomed pots are prone to tipping over, thereby improving user safety and user experience.
[0004] Specifically, this utility model provides a cookware. The cookware is a round-bottomed pot, comprising:
[0005] The pot body has an upward-facing receiving cavity.
[0006] Two handles are integrally formed on both sides of the top of the pot body, and the two handles are arranged radially symmetrically along the opening of the receiving cavity.
[0007] The vessel includes at least three support legs, all with their bottom edges on the same horizontal plane, and the bottom edge of each support leg not exceeding the bottom edge of the vessel body. All support legs are positioned on concentric circles around the opening of the receiving cavity and are evenly spaced along these circles. The ratio between the concentric circles and the maximum diameter of the vessel body is between 0.1 and 0.5.
[0008] Optionally, the bottom of all the legs is on the same plane as the bottom of the pot body.
[0009] Optionally, the pot body is spherical in shape, and the height of the pot body is less than the radius of the sphere on which the pot body is located.
[0010] Optionally, the support leg includes a connecting part and a contact part, the connecting part being fixedly connected to the bottom of the pot body, and the contact part being fixedly connected to the lower end of the connecting part.
[0011] The connecting part is in the shape of a frustum with the small end facing down, and the outer surface of the contact part is an arc surface tangent to the lower end of the connecting part.
[0012] Optionally, the ratio of the diameter of the top of the support leg to the maximum diameter of the pot body is 0.0003 to 0.0005.
[0013] Optionally, the maximum diameter of the pot body is 35 to 50 cm.
[0014] Optionally, the support has three legs.
[0015] Optionally, the handle is C-shaped with its opening facing the pot body, and the handle is configured to be welded to the pot body after the pot body is cast, with the lower end of the handle located at the lower end of the upper edge of the pot body.
[0016] The overlap height between the handle and the pot body is between 0.5 and 1.5 cm.
[0017] In this utility model of cookware, since the support legs are fixedly connected to the bottom of the pot body, when the cookware is placed on a flat surface such as an induction cooker or a table, at least three support legs are in contact with the surface at the same time, so that at least three support legs provide a stable support structure for the pot body, effectively reducing the occurrence of tipping accidents caused by the shift of the pot body's center of gravity, and improving the user's safety and user experience.

[0031] Figure 1 This is a schematic front view of a cookware according to an embodiment of the present invention, as shown below. Figure 1As shown, and refer to Figures 2 to 3 This utility model provides a cookware, which is a round-bottomed pot, including a pot body 100, two handles 300 and a support leg 200.
[0032] The pot body 100 has an upward-facing receiving cavity.
[0033] Two handles 300 are integrally formed on the top sides of the pot body 100, and the two handles 300 are arranged radially symmetrically along the opening of the receiving cavity.
[0034] There are at least three support legs 200, and the bottom of all support legs 200 is on the same horizontal plane, and the bottom of the bottom of the support legs 200 is not higher than the bottom of the pot body 100. All support legs 200 are located on a concentric circle D1 of the opening of the receiving cavity and are evenly spaced along the concentric circle D1. The ratio between the concentric circle D1 and the maximum diameter D2 of the pot body 100 is 0.1 to 0.5.
[0035] In this embodiment, the cookware is used for cooking food. The round-bottomed design of the cookware allows for more even heating of the food within its cavity compared to a flat-bottomed pan. Furthermore, the round bottom facilitates casting, simplifying the production of the pot body 100 and reducing the production cost of the cookware.
[0036] The support legs 200 are fixedly connected to the bottom of the pot body 100. When the pot is placed on a flat surface such as an induction cooker or a table, at least three support legs 200 are in contact with the surface at the same time, so that at least three support legs 200 provide a stable support structure for the pot body 100. This effectively reduces the occurrence of tipping accidents caused by the shift of the center of gravity of the pot body 100, and avoids tipping accidents caused by slight shifts in the center of gravity of the pot body 100, such as uneven weight distribution of food in the cavity, or slight touch. This improves the user's safety and user experience.
[0037] When the ratio between the concentric circle D1 and the maximum diameter D2 of the pot body 100 is less than 0.1, the concentric circle D1 of the opening of the receiving cavity where the support leg 200 is located is smaller. Since the pot is a round-bottomed pot, the smaller the diameter of the concentric circle D1, the closer the support leg 200 is to the center of the pot body 100. However, when the interval between the support legs 200 is too small, the pot body 100 will easily tip over when placed on a flat surface.
[0038] When the ratio between the concentric circle D1 and the maximum diameter D2 of the pot body 100 is greater than 0.5, the concentric circle D1 of the opening of the receiving cavity where the support leg 200 is located is larger. Although this ensures greater stability when the pot body 100 is placed on a flat surface, since the pot is round-bottomed, the larger the diameter of the concentric circle D1, the further the support leg 200 is positioned from the center of the pot body 100. To ensure that the bottom of all the support legs 200 is on the same horizontal plane and that the bottom of the support leg 200 is not higher than the bottom of the pot body 100, a larger concentric circle D1 of the opening of the receiving cavity where the support leg 200 is located results in a longer support leg 200. A longer support leg 200 increases the amount of material required for the support leg 200, leading to higher costs. In addition, a longer support leg 200 is more prone to breakage and is more susceptible to impacts, increasing the risk of breakage.
[0039] When the ratio between the concentric circle D1 of the opening of the receiving cavity where the support leg 200 is located and the maximum diameter D2 of the pot body 100 is between 0.1 and 0.5, the pot's anti-tipping ability is satisfied while the length of the support leg 200 is avoided as much as possible, thus improving the quality of the pot.
[0040] Preferably, in some embodiments of the present invention, the ratio between the concentric circle D1 of the opening of the receiving cavity where the support leg 200 is located and the maximum diameter D2 of the pot body 100 is 0.37.
[0041] In some embodiments of this utility model, the ratio of the height of the support leg 200 to the height of the pot body 100 is 0.1 to 0.3.
[0042] Preferably, in some embodiments of this utility model, the ratio of the height of the support leg 200 to the height of the pot body 100 is 0.12.
[0043] In some embodiments of this utility model, the bottom of all the support legs 200 is on the same plane as the bottom of the pot body 100.
[0044] In this embodiment, the bottom of the support leg 200 is on the same plane as the bottom of the pot body 100, so that when the pot is placed on a flat surface such as an induction cooker or a table, both the support leg 200 and the pot body 100 are in contact with the flat surface. The bottom of the pot body 100 and the support leg 200 share the load, which reduces the deformation of the support leg 200 caused by local stress concentration. Furthermore, it further improves the stability of the pot when placed on the flat surface, improves the pot's anti-tipping ability, and improves the user experience.
[0045] In some embodiments of this utility model, the pot body 100 is generally spherical, and the height of the pot body 100 is less than the radius of the sphere on which the pot body 100 is located.
[0046] In this embodiment, the spherical crown is part of a sphere, and the height of the pot body 100 is less than the radius of the sphere on which the pot body 100 is located. That is, the height of the spherical crown-shaped pot body 100 is less than the radius of the sphere on which the spherical crown is located, so that the pot body 100 has a shape that gradually decreases from top to bottom, thereby making the maximum diameter of the receiving cavity on the horizontal plane the diameter of the opening of the receiving cavity. The larger opening of the receiving cavity makes it easier to place or stir-fry ingredients during the cooking process.
[0047] In addition, the curvature of the inner and outer surfaces of the spherical pot body 100 is constant, which can make the food in the cavity heat more evenly during cooking, so as to meet the user's need for even heating of food.
[0048] In some embodiments of this utility model, the support leg 200 includes a connecting part 210 and a contact part 220. The connecting part 210 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the pot body 100, and the contact part 220 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the connecting part 210.
[0049] The connecting part 210 is in the shape of a frustum with the small end facing down, and the outer surface of the contact part 220 is an arc surface tangent to the lower end of the connecting part 210.
[0050] In this embodiment, the tangency between the arc surface and the frustum makes the outer surface of the support 200 smoother, which not only improves the appearance of the support 200, but also facilitates the molding and manufacturing of the support 200.
[0051] The rounded bottom of the 200 feet prevents scratches on users and damage to the platform or other items, ensuring user safety and improving the user experience.
[0052] Furthermore, the curved surface allows the fulcrum position to adaptively change when the cookware is placed on a non-ideal plane, i.e., the contact position between the support leg 200 and the supporting surface. The fulcrum on the curved surface also reduces stress concentration and deformation of the support leg 200 during support, further improving the cookware's anti-tipping ability. In addition, it allows for a certain degree of deviation in the position of the support leg 200 during manufacturing, reducing the difficulty of cookware production.
[0053] In some embodiments of this utility model, the ratio of the diameter D3 of the top of the support leg 200 to the maximum diameter D2 of the pot body 100 is 0.0003 to 0.0005.
[0054] In this embodiment, when the ratio of the diameter D3 at the top of the support leg 200 to the maximum diameter D2 of the pot body 100 is less than 0.0003, the diameter D3 at the top of the support leg 200 is too small to ensure the connection strength between the support leg 200 and the pot body 100. Furthermore, when the maximum diameter D2 of the pot body 100 is too large, the diameter D3 at the top of the support leg 200 is too small to support the pot, which can easily cause the support leg 200 to deform and thus cause the pot to tip over.
[0055] When the ratio of the top diameter D3 of the support leg 200 to the maximum diameter D2 of the pot body 100 is greater than 0.0005, the excessively large top diameter D3 of the support leg 200 will lead to the use of too much material in the production process of the support leg 200, which will not only increase the manufacturing cost of the pot, but also increase the overall weight of the pot.
[0056] The ratio of the diameter D3 of the top of the support leg 200 to the maximum diameter D2 of the pot body 100 is set to 0.0003 to 0.0005. This satisfies the connection strength between the support leg 200 and the pot body 100, ensures the support leg 200's ability to support the pot, avoids excessive use of materials, and also prevents the pot from becoming too heavy.
[0057] Preferably, in some embodiments of this utility model, the ratio of the diameter D3 of the top of the support leg 200 to the maximum diameter of the pot body 100 is 0.4.
[0058] In some embodiments of this utility model, the maximum diameter D2 of the pot body 100 is 35 to 50 cm.
[0059] In this embodiment, when the maximum diameter D2 of the pot body 100 is greater than 35cm, sufficient clearance can be provided in the accommodating cavity during the cooking process to meet the cooking needs of most users.
[0060] Limiting the maximum diameter D2 of the pot body 100 to less than 50cm can avoid cooktop compatibility issues caused by an excessively large pot body 100, and prevent insufficient contact between the pot body and cooktop surfaces due to an excessively large cooktop.
[0061] In some embodiments of this utility model, there are three support legs 200.
[0062] In this embodiment, the minimum number of three support legs 200 is required to meet stability requirements. A number greater than three support legs 200 reduces the molding difficulty and also reduces the amount of material used.
[0063] In some embodiments of this utility model, the handle 300 is C-shaped with its opening facing the pot body 100. The handle 300 is configured to be welded to the pot body 100 after the pot body 100 is cast, and the lower end of the handle 300 is located at the lower end of the upper edge of the pot body 100.
[0064] The overlap height H between the handle 300 and the pot body 100 is between 0.5 and 1.5 cm.
[0065] In this embodiment, the handle 300 is welded to the pot body 100 after the pot body 100 is formed, thereby reducing the difficulty of forming the pot. Compared with the straight handle 300, the C-shaped handle 300 improves the connection strength between the handle 300 and the pot body 100.
[0066] When the overlap height H between the handle 300 and the pot body 100 is less than 0.5cm, the welding contact area is insufficient, resulting in a weak connection between the handle 300 and the pot body 100, which easily leads to the risk of the handle 300 falling off.
[0067] When the overlap height H between the handle 300 and the pot body 100 is greater than 1.5cm, the welding surface is too large, making the welding process more difficult and increasing the processing cost.
[0068] The overlap height H between the handle 300 and the pot body 100 is set between 0.5 and 1.5 cm to reduce the welding difficulty between the handle 300 and the pot body 100 while ensuring the connection strength of the handle 300.
[0069] Therefore, those skilled in the art should recognize that although many exemplary embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described in detail herein, many other variations or modifications conforming to the principles of the present invention can be directly determined or derived from the disclosure of the present invention without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention.
