Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to cookware, and more particularly to a cookware with a lockable lid. Background Technology

[0002] In the prior art, some cookware requires a lockable lid. For example, cookware for cooking pasta needs a lid that can be locked to facilitate pouring out water. For the locking mechanism of the lid, please refer to Chinese Patent Publication No. CN206473213U, entitled "A Pin-Type Glass Lid Fixing Structure for Cookware," which describes: "Rotating the latch 180° from its initial state causes the pin to match and position with the groove under the force of the spring, pressing the glass lid to fix it to the cookware. Continuing to rotate 180° (forward or backward) causes the pin to match and position with another groove under the force of the spring, releasing the lock and facilitating the removal of the glass lid." In this type of structure, due to the matching limitation between the pin and the groove, the latch can only rotate in both directions within a 180° angle range. However, users typically rotate in the same direction, so this forward and reverse rotation method does not conform to user habits. Furthermore, under long-term use, the pin is prone to dislodging, resulting in poor safety and reliability. Utility Model Content

[0003] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a cookware with a lockable lid that can be rotated 360°, is safe and reliable, and has a long service life, in order to address the shortcomings of the existing technology.

[0004] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solution.

[0005] A pot with a lockable lid includes a pot, a lid, a locking cap, and two handles. The two handles are symmetrically fixed on both sides of the pot. Each handle includes a support. The center of the locking cap is rotatably connected to the support. The support is provided with a circular damping mechanism concentric with the locking cap. The circular damping mechanism is used to increase the rotational damping of the locking cap. The locking cap includes a semi-circular outer cover and a semi-circular inner cover concentrically arranged. The distance between the center of the locking cap and the edge of the lid is D1. The radius of the semi-circular outer cover is R1, and the radius of the semi-circular inner cover is R2. Then, R1 > D1, and R2 < D1.

[0006] Preferably, the circular damping mechanism includes an annular toothed portion and a slingshot. The first end of the slingshot is fixedly connected to the locking cap, and the second end of the slingshot elastically abuts against the annular toothed portion. When the locking cap is screwed on, the second end of the slingshot slides along the annular toothed portion.

[0007] Preferably, the second end of the slingshot is formed with a U-shaped portion, and the bottom end of the U-shaped portion is engaged with the tooth groove of the annular toothed portion.

[0008] Preferably, the first end of the slingshot is fixedly connected to the locking cap by a slingshot screw.

[0009] Preferably, the center of the locking cap is provided with a shaft and the two are rotatably engaged, and the lower end of the shaft is screwed into the support.

[0010] Preferably, the locking cap includes an upwardly protruding flat knob that extends along the diameter of the semi-circular outer cover.

[0011] Preferably, the lower end of the handle is formed with a fixing seat, and the fixing seat is connected to the pot by fixing screws.

[0014] In the pot with a lockable lid disclosed in this utility model, the center of the locking cap is rotatably connected to the support, and the rotational damping of the locking cap is increased by the circular damping mechanism, thereby restricting the locking cap to the position after screwing. When the semi-circular outer cover is screwed to above the edge of the pot lid, the pot lid is locked by the semi-circular outer covers on both sides. When the semi-circular outer cover is screwed away from the pot lid and the semi-circular inner cover is adjacent to the pot lid, the pot lid can be opened freely. Based on the above structure, the locking cap can be screwed 360°, which is not only convenient for users and conforms to people's operating habits, but also safe and reliable in overall structure and has a longer service life.

[0022] This utility model discloses a cookware with a lockable lid, combined with Figures 1 to 6 As shown, it includes a pot 1, a lid 2, a locking cap 3, and two handles 4. The two handles 4 are symmetrically fixed on both sides of the pot 1. Each handle 4 includes a support 40. The center of the locking cap 3 is rotatably connected to the support 40. The support 40 is provided with a circular damping mechanism 5 concentric with the locking cap 3. The circular damping mechanism 5 is used to increase the rotational damping of the locking cap 3. The locking cap 3 includes a semi-circular outer cover 30 and a semi-circular inner cover 31 concentrically arranged. The distance between the center of the locking cap 3 and the edge of the lid 2 is D1. The radius of the semi-circular outer cover 30 is R1, and the radius of the semi-circular inner cover 31 is R2. Then, R1 > D1, and R2 is less than D1.

[0023] In the above structure, the center of the locking cap 3 is rotatably connected to the support 40, and the circular damping mechanism 5 increases the rotational damping of the locking cap 3, thereby restricting the locking cap 3 to the position after screwing. When the semi-circular outer cover 30 is screwed to above the edge of the pot lid 2, the pot lid 2 is locked by the semi-circular outer covers 30 on both sides. When the semi-circular outer cover 30 is screwed away from the pot lid 2 and the semi-circular inner cover 31 is adjacent to the pot lid 2, the pot lid 2 can be opened freely. Based on the above structure, the locking cap 3 can be screwed 360°, which is not only convenient for users and conforms to people's operating habits, but also the overall structure is safe and reliable and has a longer service life.

[0024] Regarding the specific structure of the circular damping mechanism 5, in conjunction with Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the circular damping mechanism 5 includes a circular annular toothed portion 50 and a slingshot 51. The first end of the slingshot 51 is fixedly connected to the locking cap 3, and the second end of the slingshot 51 elastically abuts against the circular annular toothed portion 50. When the locking cap 3 is screwed, the second end of the slingshot 51 slides along the circular annular toothed portion 50.

[0025] Furthermore, the second end of the slingshot 51 is formed with a U-shaped portion 52, the bottom end of which engages with the tooth groove of the annular toothed portion 50.

[0026] In the above structure, the slingshot 51 can be a stainless steel slingshot. Based on the abutting match between the slingshot 51 and the annular toothed part 50, the locking cap 3 can be restricted to the position after being screwed on. Compared with the matching structure of the ball and spring used in the prior art, this utility model can not only meet the 360° screwing limit function, but also prevent the parts from coming out. It is not only safe and reliable, but also has a longer service life.

[0027] To ensure reliable fixation of the slingshot 51, in this embodiment, the first end of the slingshot 51 is fixedly connected to the locking cap 3 by a slingshot screw 53.

[0028] In a preferred embodiment, the center of the locking cap 3 is provided with a shaft 6 and the two are rotatably engaged, with the lower end of the shaft 6 screwed into the support 40.

[0029] To facilitate manual screwing, in this embodiment, the locking cap 3 includes an upwardly protruding flat knob 32, which extends along the diameter of the semi-circular outer cover 30.

[0030] Furthermore, a fixing seat 41 is formed at the lower end of the handle 4, and the fixing seat 41 is connected to the pot 1 by a fixing screw 42.
