Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to a mini pot, specifically a square mini pot. Background Technology
[0002] A mini pot is a compact and convenient kitchen tool suitable for use in limited spaces such as small apartments, offices, dormitories, and campsites. It can meet various cooking needs, including cooking, stewing, boiling, stir-frying, and deep-frying, making it especially suitable for people living alone and occasions where portable cooking is required.
[0003] Existing mini pots have a complex and poorly designed structure. Their inner pot is typically placed directly on the heating plate, meaning all parts of the inner pot are heated during cooking. Removing the inner pot can easily result in burns, leading to a poor user experience. The heating plate is fixed inside the outer shell, requiring tools to unscrew parts for repairs, making maintenance cumbersome, time-consuming, and labor-intensive. Furthermore, the heating plate in mini pots heats unevenly, concentrating heat in one spot before dispersing it across the entire surface. This concentrated heat is prone to damage and can cause significant temperature differences across the heating plate, affecting heating efficiency. Therefore, the inventor has improved the structure of the mini pot. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a square mini pot with a simple structure and reasonable design. The heat insulation cover can insulate the inner pot, preventing it from touching the user's hands during removal and avoiding burns, thus improving the user experience. It also facilitates tool-free disassembly of the heating plate, making maintenance more convenient and time-saving. Furthermore, it prevents heat from accumulating at the power connector, reducing the probability of damage to the power connector at high temperatures. The pot also achieves more even temperature distribution across different parts of the pot, resulting in smaller temperature differences and better food heating. This solves the problems mentioned in the background.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a square mini pot, comprising an outer shell, a pot body disposed inside the outer shell, and a base. The base is a cavity structure with an opening at one end, and multiple positioning posts are fixed inside the cavity. The pot body includes an electric heating plate, a heat insulation cover disposed on the electric heating plate, and an inner pot. The heat insulation cover is fitted over the outer side of the inner pot, thus providing heat insulation for the inner pot and preventing it from touching hands or other objects during removal, thereby preventing burns. The electric heating plate includes a plate body and a power connector disposed below the plate body. Multiple fixing posts are fixed on the lower end face of the plate body, and the multiple fixing posts are respectively inserted into the multiple positioning posts, so that the electric heating plate can be fixed inside the cavity of the base, and the electric heating plate can be disassembled from the cavity of the base without tools, thus facilitating maintenance of the structure inside the base cavity. To facilitate maintenance, a spring is installed on the lower end of the plate. The two ends of the spring are connected to the bottom wall of the base cavity and the plate, respectively. The spring can buffer the pressure from the plate. The heat insulation cover includes an outer cover, which is a hollow cavity structure with an opening at one end. The outer cover has a through hole and a heat dissipation hole located on one side of the through hole. The heat dissipation hole is located directly above the power connector, so that some of the heat generated by the power connector can be dispersed through the heat dissipation hole, avoiding the accumulation of heat at the location of the power connector and causing it to overheat. This reduces the probability of the power connector being damaged at high temperatures. In addition, dispersing heat through the heat dissipation hole can also make the temperature more even and the temperature difference smaller at different locations on the plate. Multiple limiting blocks are fixed in the circumferential direction of the outer cover. The inner liner is set on multiple limiting blocks. Therefore, multiple limiting blocks are used to limit the inner liner, which is used to hold food.
[0006] Preferably, a pivot is installed at both ends of the base, and the base is connected to a movable handle through the two pivots. A power interface is also provided on the base, located below the movable handle.
[0007] Preferably, the square mini pot also includes a lid, which is disposed on top of the outer shell and is rotatably connected to the outer shell.
[0008] Preferably, the pot lid includes an upper cover plate and a sealing piece fixed to the lower end face of the upper cover plate. The sealing piece is disposed above the inner pot and fits against the upper end face of the inner pot. The sealing piece fits against the cavity opening of the inner pot to seal the inner pot.
[0009] Preferably, the pot lid also includes a vent hole, which runs from top to bottom through the upper cover plate and the sealing plate, and the vent hole serves to slowly release air and pressure.
[0010] Preferably, an unlocking block and an operation button located on one side of the unlocking block are provided on the upper surface of the upper cover plate, and the operation button is located between the air vent and the unlocking block.
[0011] Preferably, the electric heating plate is located at the bottom of the base cavity, the heat insulation cover is placed on the electric heating plate, the inner liner is located in the cavity of the heat insulation cover, and the inner liner is in contact with the electric heating plate, thereby absorbing heat from the electric heating plate.
[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0013] 1. This utility model provides a square mini pot, which includes an outer shell and a pot body inside the outer shell. The overall structure is simple and reasonably designed. The outer shell includes a base, which is a cavity structure with an opening at one end. Multiple positioning posts are fixed inside the cavity. The pot body includes an electric heating plate, a heat insulation cover and an inner pot set on the electric heating plate. The heat insulation cover is fitted over the outside of the inner pot, so the heat insulation cover can insulate the inner pot and prevent it from touching people's hands or other objects during the removal process, thus avoiding burns and improving the user experience. The electric heating plate includes a plate body and a power connector set below the plate body. Multiple fixing posts are fixed on the lower end face of the plate body. The multiple fixing posts are respectively inserted into the multiple positioning posts, so that the electric heating plate can be installed in the cavity of the base by plugging in. The electric heating plate can be disassembled from the cavity of the base without tools, so it is convenient to repair the structure inside the cavity of the base, making the maintenance work more convenient, the steps simple, and saving maintenance time, making it suitable for widespread use.
[0014] 2. The heat insulation cover of this utility model includes an outer cover, which is a hollow cavity structure with an opening at one end. The outer cover has a through hole and a heat dissipation hole located on one side of the through hole. The heat dissipation hole is located directly above the power connector, so that some of the heat generated by the power connector can be dispersed through the heat dissipation hole, avoiding the accumulation of heat at the location of the power connector and causing its temperature to be too high. This reduces the probability of the power connector being damaged at high temperatures. In addition, dispersing heat through the heat dissipation hole can make the temperature of different positions on the plate more uniform, with a smaller temperature difference, and better heating effect for food, making it highly practical.
