Detailed Implementation

[0023] 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.

[0024] Please see Figures 1-7 As shown, a multi-functional material tray for cookware includes a pot body 1, a lifting frame 2 installed inside the pot body 1, a disassembly structure 3 installed on the lifting frame 2, and a mesh screen 301. Two mesh screens 301 are installed on the lifting frame 2. Multiple positioning rods 302 are fixedly connected to the bottom end of the mesh screen 301. Multiple positioning holes 303 are opened at the bottom end of the lifting frame 2. The positioning rods 302 engage with the positioning holes 303. A horizontal bar 304 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the lifting frame 2. The horizontal bar 304 abuts against the mesh screen 301. Multiple material tray bodies 305 are placed on the mesh screen 301. Locking blocks 6 are fixedly connected to both sides of the material tray body 305. The locking blocks 6 between two adjacent material tray bodies 305 are interlocked. The cross-section of the bottom end of the lifting frame 2 is "L" shaped, and the mesh screen 301 is semi-circular.

[0025] As a technical optimization of this utility model, the tray body 305 has a fan-shaped structure, which facilitates the combination and installation of multiple tray bodies 305. The locking block 6 has an "L"-shaped structure, and the tray body 305 is positioned by the insertion of two adjacent "L"-shaped locking blocks 6, which increases the stability of the installation of the tray body 305.

[0026] As a technical optimization of this utility model, a column 4 is fixedly connected to the horizontal bar 304, and a lifting ring 5 is fixedly connected to the top of the column 4. The lifting ring 5 facilitates the removal of the lifting frame 2. A slot 306 is opened in the middle of the mesh 301. The slot 306 has a semi-circular structure. The mesh 301 is slidably connected to the column 4 through the slot 306. The slot 306 facilitates the installation of the column 4 on the horizontal bar 304.

[0027] As a technical optimization of this utility model, a pot lid 7 is installed at the top of the pot body 1. The edge of the pot lid 7 abuts against the edge of the lifting frame 2. A fixing seat 8 is installed in the middle of the pot lid 7. A connecting block 9 is engaged in the fixing seat 8. A pressure column 10 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the connecting block 9. The pot lid 7 drives the pressure column 10 to press downward against the edge of the material tray body 305, which plays a good role in fixing the material tray body 305. The cross-section of the pressure column 10 is T-shaped, which increases the contact area between the pressure column 10 and the material tray body 305, so that the pressure column 10 can press against multiple material trays at the same time. The main body 305 has a sliding connection between the pressure column 10 and the column 4. A rubber pad 11 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the pressure column 10. The bottom end of the rubber pad 11 simultaneously abuts against the edges of multiple material trays 305. The rubber pad 11 increases the friction between the pressure column 10 and the material trays 305, thereby allowing the pressure column 10 to abut against the material trays 305 more tightly. Two pot ears 12 are installed on the outer wall of the pot body 1. The buckles on the pot ears 12 abut against the pot lid 7, and the pot lid 7 is further fixed by the buckles on the pot ears 12, thereby allowing the pressure column 10 to continuously press against the material trays 305.

[0028] As a technical optimization of this utility model, a positioning block 13 is fixedly connected to the edge of the pot body 1, and a positioning groove 14 is opened on the edge of the lifting frame 2. The positioning block 13 engages with the positioning groove 14. The engagement of the positioning block 13 with the positioning groove 14 can position the lifting frame 2, preventing the lifting frame 2 from affecting the user's use when cooking hot pot.

[0029] In use, when steaming dishes, the trays 305 containing the dishes are placed sequentially into the lifting frame 2. During installation, the locking blocks 6 on the side of each tray 305 are inserted into the locking blocks 6 on the side walls of adjacent trays 305. This interlocking of adjacent locking blocks 6 allows for adjustment of the number of trays 305 as needed, efficiently utilizing space, while also ensuring the trays 305 remain stable and do not wobble. It also facilitates the removal and placement of the trays 305. When dishes with different cooking times are steamed, and it is necessary to remove a dish from a particular tray 305, the tray containing that dish can be directly removed without transferring the dish to a bowl or plate, making the trays 305 more convenient and flexible to use. Next, place the lifting frame 2 containing the material tray body 305 into the pot body 1, so that the edge of the lifting frame 2 rests on the edge of the pot body 1. Then rotate the lifting frame 2 until the positioning groove 14 on the lifting frame 2 engages with the positioning block 13 on the edge of the pot body 1, thereby providing a good positioning effect for the lifting frame 2, preventing the lifting frame 2 from rotating, and thus increasing the stability of the lifting frame 2 during use. Next, align the pressure post 10 on the pot lid 7 with the upright post 4 on the crossbar 304, and then move the pot lid 7 downward so that the upright post 4 inserts into the pressure post 10 and slides with the pressure post 10. Continue to move the pot lid 7 until the bottom end of the pressure post 10 abuts against the edge of the multiple material tray bodies 305. Then, use the buckles on the pot ears 12 to fix the pot lid 7, thereby making the pot... The cover 7 drives the pressure column 10 downward to press the material tray body 305, preventing the soup from spilling due to the steam impacting the material tray body 305. This further increases the stability of the material tray body 305 installation. When the pot body 1 is needed to cook hot pot, the multiple material tray bodies 305 and one of the strainer nets 301 in the lifting frame 2 can be disassembled. Then, the other strainer net 301 is lifted upward, so that the positioning rod 302 at the bottom of the strainer net 301 is no longer engaged with the positioning hole 303. Then, the strainer net 301 is rotated ninety degrees around the column 4 and moved downward, so that the positioning rod 302 at the bottom of the strainer net 301 engages with the corresponding positioning hole 303. At the same time, one edge of the strainer net 301 abuts against the horizontal bar 304, thereby making the lifting frame more stable. Half of the bottom of frame 2 is unobstructed by the strainer 301. Food is then placed inside the pot 1. Once cooked, the food can be scooped onto the strainer 301. This prevents the food from overcooking and spoiling, and avoids mixing raw and cooked food. The strainer 301 also filters the broth from the food and uses the steam from the pot to keep the food warm. Compared to scooping the food directly into a bowl, this reduces broth splashing, keeps the table and pot area clean, and helps maintain the texture of the food. When it is necessary to remove the frame 2, chopsticks are inserted through the lifting ring 5 to move the entire assembly inside the frame 2 upwards. The horizontal bar 304 facilitates the installation of the upright 4 and lifting ring 5, while also increasing the stability of the strainer 301.
