Furthermore, the specific features, structures, materials, or characteristics described may be combined in any suitable manner in one or more embodiments or examples.
[0035] In related technologies, cooking utensils such as saucepans and pots typically have lids with fixed slots for emptying water or releasing steam after cooking. However, this fixed-slot design has significant drawbacks. For example, during cooking, if the lid needs to be briefly opened for observation or to empty a small amount of water, the fixed slot cannot be adjusted to the required opening, causing continuous steam leakage. Furthermore, excessive steam leakage not only disrupts the original pressure balance and temperature distribution within the pot, reducing heating efficiency and prolonging cooking time, but can also lead to uneven heating of the food, affecting its taste and cooking results. In addition, steam leakage causes heat loss, increasing energy consumption, and may pose safety hazards due to accidental ejection of high-temperature steam.
[0036] Although some existing technologies attempt to improve sealing by adding sealing caps or detachable vent valves, these solutions are often complex in structure, cumbersome in operation, and difficult to quickly switch between water discharge, venting and sealing functions.
[0037] Therefore, such as Figures 1 to 6 As shown, this utility model discloses an adjustable water-pouring and venting cooking appliance, including a dish 100 and a lid 200 that can be fitted onto the dish 100. The outer circumferential surface of the lid 200 is provided with a rotating groove 201 and a channel groove 202. One side of the channel groove 202 connects to the interior of the dish 100 through the rotating groove 201, and the other side extends outward for water pouring and / or venting. Further, the inner sidewall of the dish 100 is provided with a protrusion 110 extending circumferentially along the dish 100. In the circumferential direction of the dish 100, the length of the channel groove 202 is less than the length of the rotating groove 201. The protrusion 110 is rotatably disposed in the rotating groove 201 to adjust the opening of the channel groove 202 when the lid 200 rotates. It should be noted that by the rotation groove 201 provided on the outer circumference of the lid 200 cooperating with the protrusion 110 on the inner sidewall of the vessel 100, the protrusion 110 moves within the rotation groove 201 when the lid 200 rotates, thereby adjusting the opening of the channel groove 202. This achieves continuous adjustment of the opening of the water pouring channel, which can meet the diverse needs of water pouring and venting at different cooking stages. The structure is simple and easy to operate, effectively improving the functionality and reliability of the cooking appliance.
[0038] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 1As shown, in the circumferential direction of the vessel 100, the length of the protrusion 110 is greater than or equal to the length of the channel groove 202, allowing the protrusion 110 to completely cover the channel groove 202 during rotation. This achieves the complete closure function of the channel groove 202, effectively blocking the leakage path of water and steam, significantly improving the reliability of the cooking appliance when sealing is required, avoiding heat loss and pressure fluctuations caused by steam leakage during cooking, while simplifying the design complexity of the sealing structure and enhancing the convenience of user operation. Furthermore, in the circumferential direction of the vessel 100, the length of the rotating groove 201 is ≥ 2 * the length of the protrusion 110. When the protrusion 110 abuts against one side wall of the rotating groove 201, the channel groove 202 is fully open; when the protrusion 110 abuts against the other side wall of the rotating groove 201, the channel groove 202 is fully closed. In this regard, the relationship between the length of the rotating groove 201 and the length of the protrusion 110 ensures that the protrusion 110 has sufficient room to move within the rotating groove 201, so that the channel groove 202 can smoothly transition from the fully open state to the fully closed state. This avoids problems such as adjustment jamming or poor sealing caused by insufficient space, further improving the accuracy and stability of the channel opening adjustment, while also enhancing the smoothness of the rotation operation of the cover 200 and extending the service life of the product.
[0039] In some applications, when it is necessary to quickly pour out liquids from the pot, such as boiling soup or to rinse the pot, the lid 200 is rotated until the protrusion 110 abuts against one side wall of the rotating groove 201. At this time, the channel groove 202 is fully opened, forming the maximum pouring channel, allowing the liquid to drain quickly and preventing residue. This state is also suitable for scenarios where a large amount of steam needs to be released quickly from the pot, such as preventing overflow when cooking porridge, by rapidly releasing steam to reduce the pressure inside the pot.
[0040] In other applications, when a small amount of venting is needed during cooking, such as releasing excess steam during stewing meat to prevent overflow or slowly pouring water, rotating the lid 200 positions the protrusion 110 in the center of the rotating groove 201, partially opening the channel groove 202. At this time, steam or liquid is discharged at a controlled flow rate, avoiding violent splashing while maintaining pressure balance inside the pot, ensuring even heating of the food.
[0041] In other applications, when a sealed environment is required, such as for pressure cooking, heat preservation, or prevention of external contamination, rotating the lid 200 causes the protrusion 110 to abut against the other side wall of the rotating groove 201, and the channel groove 202 is completely closed.
[0042] In other applications, such as when frequent state switching is required, like observing while cooking or adjusting steam release in stages, the opening of the channel slot 202 can be adjusted in real time by continuously rotating the lid 200. For example, when cooking porridge, the channel can be completely closed initially to pressurize and simmer, and then the opening can be gradually increased after boiling to release steam and prevent overflow; or when frying, a small opening can be used to release steam and prevent a sudden drop in oil temperature, while also reducing the amount of oil fumes. This dynamic adjustment capability allows the cooking appliance to adapt to complex operating procedures, improving temperature control accuracy and user experience.
[0043] Refer to Figure 2 In some embodiments of this utility model, the surface of the cover 200 is provided with an opening mark 203 and a closing mark 204. The opening mark 203 and the closing mark 204 are arranged at intervals around the circumference of the cover 200 to correspond to the state of the channel groove 202, respectively. It is understood that by providing the opening mark 203 and the closing mark 204 corresponding to the state of the channel groove 202 on the surface of the cover 200, intuitive operation guidance is provided to the user, enabling the user to quickly identify the current open / closed state of the channel groove 202 and achieve precise adjustment by rotating the cover 200. This avoids misadjustment or excessive rotation due to unfamiliarity with operation, improving the user experience and operational efficiency, while also enhancing the ease of use and safety of the product. For example, the vessel 100 has two opposing handles, and the user can implicitly know that the water outlet is located in the middle position between the two handles. Correspondingly, referring to... Figure 2 When the opening indicator 203 is in the middle position, the channel groove 202 of the lid 200 communicates with the interior of the vessel 100, allowing for the pouring of water and / or venting of air. See also... Figure 5 When the closing indicator 204 is in the middle position, the channel groove 202 of the cover 200 is blocked from the interior of the vessel 100.
[0044] Refer to Figure 1 , Figure 4 and Figure 6 In some embodiments of this utility model, the cover 200 is provided with a blocking part 211. The blocking part 211 is disposed on the groove wall of the rotating groove 201 and located on one side of the channel groove 202. The blocking part 211 can abut against the circumferential surface of the vessel 100 and the upper surface of the protrusion 110 to prevent water and / or water vapor from leaking out of the channel groove 202. Thus, the sealing effect of the channel groove 202 when closed is further enhanced, effectively preventing water and steam from leaking from the side wall or top of the channel groove 202, improving the reliability of the sealing structure. At the same time, the design structure of the blocking part 211 is simple and does not require additional parts, reducing production costs and maintenance difficulty, and enhancing the durability and practicality of the product.
[0045] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the channel 202 has a water outlet 2021, which is arranged radially along the cover 200. This optimizes the water flow path during pouring, allowing the water to flow out of the channel 202 quickly, evenly, and smoothly. This avoids water dispersion or residue problems caused by improper angle of the water outlet 2021, improves pouring efficiency, and reduces cleaning difficulty. At the same time, the radially arranged water outlet 2021 is more ergonomic, making it easier for users to control the pouring direction during operation, further enhancing the user experience.
[0046] Refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2In some embodiments of this utility model, the lid 200 includes a lid ring 210, which is made of steel. This significantly improves the structural strength and durability of the lid 200, enabling it to withstand high temperatures, high pressures, and frequent operation, thus extending the product's lifespan. Simultaneously, steel has excellent thermal conductivity, helping to maintain the stability of the temperature inside the pot, indirectly improving the cooking effect. Furthermore, steel components are low-cost and easy to process, balancing product economy and production efficiency. For example, the entire lid 200 may be made of stainless steel, titanium, or aluminum. Another example is the central portion of the lid 200, with the lid ring 210 surrounding and sealingly connected to the glass plate. It is readily understood that the vessel 100 may be made of stainless steel, titanium, or aluminum. Furthermore, the inwardly recessed lid ring 210 forms a rotating groove 201 and a channel groove 202, fully utilizing the structural space of the lid body 200 itself, reducing the use of additional components, simplifying the product assembly process, and lowering production costs. Simultaneously, the recessed design allows the rotating groove 201 and channel groove 202 to smoothly transition with the surface of the lid body 200, avoiding potential safety hazards caused by sharp edges and improving the overall aesthetics of the product and the safety of user operation. Similarly, the inwardly recessed utensil 100 forms a protrusion 110, making the protrusion 110 integrally formed with the utensil 100 body, enhancing the structural strength and stability of the protrusion 110, avoiding loosening or detachment problems that may occur with a separate design, improving the durability and reliability of the product. At the same time, the steel utensil 100 can better withstand high temperatures and corrosion, extending the service life of the cooking utensil and reducing long-term usage costs for users. However, according to actual application scenarios, in some other embodiments of this utility model, the protrusion 110 is separately set from the utensil 100, with the protrusion 110 fixedly connected to the utensil 100. Optionally, the protrusion 110 can be fixed to the vessel 100 with screws, or the protrusion 110 can be welded to the vessel 100. The material, size, and shape of the protrusion 110 can be flexibly adjusted according to actual needs. For example, wear-resistant materials can be used, or the contour of the protrusion 110 can be optimized to improve the smoothness of adjustment. The modular design facilitates assembly and maintenance during production, reducing production costs and maintenance difficulty. Furthermore, the modular structure can accommodate different models or specifications of vessels 100, enhancing the product's versatility and market adaptability.
[0047] The embodiments of the present utility model have been described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. Within the scope of knowledge possessed by those skilled in the art, various changes can be made without departing from the spirit of the present utility model.
