Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of kitchen utensils technology, and in particular to a frying pan with hidden hooks and annual rings. Background Technology

[0002] The wok is a core utensil in Chinese cooking, and its structure typically includes a pot body, a handle, and auxiliary functional components. As the primary operating part, the handle needs to balance comfortable grip with functional expandability. To meet the need for efficient use of kitchen space, most wok handles have hanging hooks at the end for vertical hanging of the pot, avoiding taking up countertop or cabinet space, while also allowing for natural drainage and maintaining hygiene.

[0003] Existing wok hooks generally adopt a one-piece bent ring structure made of steel. Their typical characteristics are: a closed ring is formed by bending a metal wire, with a through hole in the center of the ring, and it is fixed to the end of the handle using riveting or welding. While this design achieves basic suspension functionality, its structural form has long remained within traditional paradigms, exhibiting significant technical limitations.

[0004] To ensure hanging strength, the diameter and cross-sectional thickness of the ring-shaped steel hook must meet certain standards, resulting in the hook protruding beyond the handle's outer contour and forming an irregular, protruding structure. During cooking, when users frequently move cookware, their wrists or arms are prone to accidentally touching the sharp edges of the hook. Especially in high-temperature cooking environments, the surface temperature of the metal hook rises significantly, greatly increasing the risk of abrasions and burns. Furthermore, the protruding design makes the hook susceptible to collisions with surrounding cookware during transport, posing a safety hazard and reducing ease of use. Utility Model Content

[0005] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is the safety hazard caused by the protruding structure. It provides a frying pan with a hidden hook to solve the above problem.

[0006] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve the above-mentioned technical problems is as follows: a frying pan with a hidden hook, including a frying pan, a handle, a mounting block, a hook, an operating plate and a retraction component. The frying pan is connected to the handle, and a cavity is opened at the end of the handle. The mounting block is slidably connected in the cavity, and a hook is connected to the end of the mounting block. The operating plate is slidably connected to the handle tube wall. One end of the operating plate passes through the handle tube wall and is rotatably connected to the mounting block. A retraction component is provided between the inner end of the cavity and the mounting block. The retraction component is used to pull the mounting block and the hook into the cavity.

[0007] A further preferred embodiment of this utility model is as follows: the retraction assembly includes a connecting plate and a return spring. The inner side of the handle tube wall has symmetrically opened grooves. The connecting plate is slidably connected inside the handle. The connecting plate is provided with a protrusion that inserts into the groove. One side of the connecting plate is rotatably connected to the mounting block. A return spring is provided in the cavity. The other side of the connecting plate is connected to one end of the return spring. The other end of the return spring is connected inside the handle.

[0008] A further preferred embodiment of this utility model is that the top surface of the control panel is provided with several anti-slip grooves.

[0009] A further preferred embodiment of this utility model is: it also includes a magnet, the inner ring of the handle port is connected to a magnet, the mounting block is made of magnetic material, and the mounting block and the magnet are magnetically attracted to each other.

[0010] A further preferred embodiment of this utility model is that it also includes a protective pad, and the hook is fitted with a protective pad.

[0011] A further preferred embodiment of this utility model is: it also includes telescopic pads, which are provided along the sliding path of the operation panel. The telescopic pads are located on both sides of the operation panel, with one end of each telescopic pad connected to the operation panel and the other end connected to the handle.

[0012] A further preferred embodiment of this utility model is: it also includes anti-slip pads, and several anti-slip pads are arranged around the outer ring of the handle.

[0013] A further preferred embodiment of this utility model is: it also includes a rubber stopper, and a rubber stopper is provided at the handle port.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the advantages of this utility model are as follows: The sliding connection between the cavity at the end of the handle and the mounting block allows the hook to be completely stored within the cavity when not in use, preventing it from protruding from the outer contour of the handle. This achieves a concealed design, eliminating the risk of contact, scratches, or collisions caused by protruding hooks during cooking, thus improving operational safety. The rotational connection between the control plate and the mounting block, combined with the linear sliding restriction of the connecting plate by the sliding groove, allows the user to control the extension and retraction of the hook simply by pushing the control plate, enabling convenient one-handed operation and simplifying the hanging and storage process, avoiding complex operations that affect the user experience. The elastic cooperation between the return spring and the connecting plate utilizes the spring's stretching and rebound characteristics, allowing the hook to automatically extend into place under the weight of the cookware when hanging and automatically retract into the cavity after removal, thus achieving an automatic hook storage function, ultimately reducing manual intervention steps and improving efficiency.

[0021] The preferred embodiments of the present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. Those skilled in the art will appreciate that these descriptions are merely descriptive and exemplary and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0022] It should be noted that similar labels in the following figures indicate similar items; therefore, once an item is defined in one figure, it may not be further defined and explained in subsequent figures.

[0023] This embodiment mainly describes the structure of the annual ring wok, as follows:

[0024] A type of frying pan with hidden hooks, such as Figures 1-4 As shown, the frying pan includes a ring-shaped wok 1, a handle 2, a mounting block 4, a hook 5, an operating plate 6, and a retraction assembly. The ring-shaped wok 1 is connected to the handle 2, and the handle 2 has a cavity 3 at its end. The mounting block 4 is slidably connected inside the cavity 3, and the end of the mounting block 4 is connected to the hook 5. The operating plate 6 is slidably connected to the wall of the handle 2, and one end of the operating plate 6 passes through the wall of the handle 2 and is rotatably connected to the mounting block 4. A retraction assembly is provided between the inner end of the cavity 3 and the mounting block 4. The retraction assembly is used to pull the mounting block 4 and the hook 5 into the cavity 3.

[0025] like Figure 3 As shown, the retraction assembly includes a connecting plate 8 and a return spring 9. The inner wall of the handle 2 has symmetrically opened grooves 7. The length of the grooves 7 is set to the sliding stroke of the connecting plate 8, that is, the displacement difference between the hook 5 when it is extended to the maximum position and when it is fully retracted. The connecting plate 8 is slidably connected inside the handle 2. The connecting plate 8 is provided with a protrusion that inserts into the groove 7. One side of the connecting plate 8 is rotatably connected to the mounting block 4. The groove 7 restricts the rotational freedom of the connecting plate 8 to ensure its linear sliding and improve motion stability. The return spring 9 is provided inside the cavity 3. The other side of the connecting plate 8 is connected to one end of the return spring 9, and the other end of the return spring 9 is connected inside the handle 2.

[0026] like Figure 3 As shown, the top surface of the control panel 6 is provided with several anti-slip grooves 10. The depth and spacing of the anti-slip grooves 10 are designed according to the friction requirements of human hands, which significantly improves the friction between the hand and the control panel 6 and avoids slippage due to moisture or oil stains.

[0027] like Figure 4 As shown, it also includes a magnet 11. The inner ring of the handle 2 port is connected to the magnet 11. The mounting block 4 is made of magnetic material. The mounting block 4 and the magnet 11 are magnetically attracted to each other. During the retraction of the hook 5, the magnet 11 and the mounting block 4 are magnetically attracted to each other to provide a fixing force and prevent the mounting block 4 from retracting too quickly and causing a collision.

[0028] like Figure 4 As shown, it also includes a protective pad 12. The hook 5 is fitted with a protective pad 12. The protective pad 12 is made of soft and wear-resistant elastic material. When hanging, the protective pad 12 comes into contact with the wall hook 5 and produces elastic deformation, increasing the friction to prevent the cookware from slipping off.

[0029] like Figure 1 As shown, it also includes telescopic pads 13. Telescopic pads 13 are provided along the sliding path of the control plate 6. The telescopic pads 13 are located on both sides of the control plate 6. One end of the two telescopic pads 13 is connected to the control plate 6, and the other end is connected to the handle 2. They automatically extend and retract as the control plate 6 slides, effectively sealing the top opening of the handle 2, preventing oil and water stains from entering the cavity 3 during cooking or cleaning, protecting the internal return spring 9, connecting plate 8 and other components from getting clean, and extending their service life.

[0030] like Figure 1 As shown, it also includes anti-slip pads 14. Several anti-slip pads 14 are arranged around the outer ring of the handle 2 to increase the friction between the handle 2 and the hand and improve the grip stability.

[0031] like Figure 1 As shown, it also includes a rubber stopper 15. A rubber stopper 15 is provided at the port of the handle 2 to seal the port of the handle 2, prevent oil stains, water stains or small debris from entering the cavity 3, and keep the internal components clean and dry.

[0032] It should be noted that the depth of cavity 3 is set to the natural length of return spring 9 + thickness of connecting plate 8 + thickness of mounting block 4 + length of hook 5 + stable connection depth of rubber plug 15 extending into handle 2, ensuring that all components fit tightly when hook 5 is fully retracted, with no redundant space.

[0033] During normal use, when the user holds the handle 2 for cooking, the anti-slip pad 14 surrounding the outer ring of the handle 2 contacts the palm, increasing the coefficient of friction to improve grip stability. Even if the hands are sweaty or have a small amount of oil on them due to cooking, it can still effectively prevent the cookware from slipping. At the same time, the soft rubber plug 15 at the port of the handle 2 fits tightly against the inner wall of the port, sealing the cavity 3 inside the handle 2 to prevent oil, water stains or small debris from entering the cavity 3 during cooking and affecting the operation of the internal components. The soft material will not cause any bumps or scratches to the user's hands, ensuring operational comfort.

[0034] When hanging the cookware, after cleaning and cooking, the user first presses the top surface of the operating plate 6, which is slidably connected to the handle 2 tube wall, with their thumb. Several anti-slip grooves 10 on the surface of the operating plate 6 increase the roughness of the contact surface, effectively improving the friction between the hand and the operating plate 6, so that the operating plate 6 or the hand can still be pushed stably even if it is wet. Then, remove the rubber plug 15 at the port of the handle 2 to release the seal on the port. Next, push the operating plate 6 towards the port of the handle 2. The end of the operating plate 6 that passes through the tube wall of the handle 2 drives the mounting block 4, which is rotatably connected to it, to slide along the cavity 3. When the mounting block 4 moves, it simultaneously drives the connecting plate 8 to move outward. The connecting plate 8 is restricted in its rotational freedom by the protrusion inserted into the slide groove 7 and can only slide in a straight line along the slide groove 7. During this process, the connecting plate 8 gradually stretches the reset spring 9 set in the cavity 3, allowing it to accumulate elastic potential energy. As the mounting block 4 continues to move, the hook 5 connected to its end is gradually pushed out of the cavity 3. When the hook 5 is completely detached from the cavity 3, it is fitted onto the wall hook. At this time, the weight of the cookware acts on the hook 5, further stretching the return spring 9. Meanwhile, the mounting block 4 may rotate inside the handle 2 due to the adjustment of the direction of gravity. The connection between the mounting block 4 and the operating plate 6 will slide relative to each other, and the connection between the mounting block 4 and the connecting plate 8 will rotate relative to each other. Finally, the cookware is stably suspended through the coordinated movement of multiple parts. During the movement of the operating plate 6, the telescopic pads 13 on both sides along its sliding path will stretch or contract accordingly, always keeping the top opening of the handle 2 closed to prevent external oil and water stains from entering the cavity 3. When the hook 5 is suspended, the protective pad 12 on its surface will undergo elastic deformation due to contact with the wall hook 5, which will increase the friction of the contact surface and effectively prevent the cookware from slipping due to shaking.

[0035] When the user needs to remove the pot to continue cooking, the return spring 9, which has accumulated elastic potential energy due to stretching, begins to rebound. At this time, the magnet 11 set in the inner ring of the handle 2 port and the magnetic material mounting block 4 generate a magnetic attraction, temporarily balancing the elastic force of the return spring 9 and preventing the connecting plate 8 from retracting quickly. The return spring 9 pulls the connecting plate 8 to move inward into the handle 2, and the connecting plate 8 drives the mounting block 4 to retract synchronously. The mounting block 4 then drives the operating plate 6 to slide inward along the tube wall of the handle 2 through the rotating connecting structure. During this process, the user can press the operating plate 6 by hand to control the speed of retraction. Finally, the hook 5 gradually enters the cavity 3 as the mounting block 4 retracts, and the rubber plug 15 is put back on the handle 2 port, completely sealing the cavity 3.
