Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of multi-layer cookware technology, specifically a multi-layer adjustable stainless steel cookware. Background Technology

[0002] In daily cooking and family life, stainless steel cookware has become an indispensable kitchen utensil due to its corrosion resistance, good heat conductivity, and long service life. With the improvement of living standards, people's demand for multi-functional, convenient, and space-efficient cookware is increasing, and multi-layered modular cookware is gradually gaining popularity.

[0003] However, existing combination cookware has the following problems in actual use: With a fixed structure and poor adjustability, traditional multi-layer cookware typically has a fixed stacked structure for the main pot and auxiliary pots, and the distance between them is not adjustable, making it impossible to flexibly change the spacing according to cooking needs (such as differences in heating temperature and heating method for different foods).

[0004] For example, if the temperature of the main pot is too high when it is heated, the bottom of the secondary pot may overheat if it is too close to the main pot, which will affect the taste of the food; while if the distance between them is too large, heat will be lost and cooking efficiency will be reduced.

[0005] When multiple cookware units are stacked, the steam or boiling liquid generated by heating the main pot can easily overflow into the secondary pot due to pressure, causing different foods to absorb each other's flavors and affecting the cooking quality. This is especially common in scenarios requiring prolonged heating, such as stewing or simmering, where the liquid in the main pot expands but lacks effective ventilation, making overflow even more frequent. Utility Model Content

[0006] The purpose of this invention is to provide a multi-layer adjustable stainless steel cookware to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: A multi-layer adjustable stainless steel cookware includes a main pot and a secondary pot; the secondary pot has an adjustable bottom, and the secondary pot is stacked on the top inner edge of the main pot, with the adjustable bottom located between the secondary pot and the main pot; the main body diameter of the secondary pot is the same as the main body diameter of the main pot. The adjustable pot bottom includes a pot base and an adjusting ring. The adjusting ring is located at the bottom of the pot base, and adjusting legs are axially distributed between the adjusting ring and the pot base. The main pot and the auxiliary pot are symmetrically equipped with hanging ears on both sides, and the hanging ears are equipped with disassembly handles.

[0008] Preferably, the outer side of the hanging ear is provided with an outwardly protruding fixing block, and the fixing block has an upwardly extending hanging ear groove; the side of the disassembly handle near the hanging ear is provided with an L-shaped docking ear, which is inserted upward into the hanging ear groove; the hanging ear structure of the main pot and the auxiliary pot are the same, so the disassembly handle is universal.

[0009] Preferably, the top of the connecting ear and the top of the ear slot are provided with magnetic attraction parts that attract each other. The removal handle can be inserted into the ear and prevented from falling off by magnetic attraction.

[0010] Preferably, the adjustable leg is movably inserted into the adjusting ring, and a limiting ring with an upward protrusion is provided at the position where the adjusting ring contacts the adjustable leg. The adjustable leg is inserted into the limiting ring, and a locking bolt is installed on the limiting ring. The locking bolt fixes the adjustable leg inward.

[0011] Preferably, pulling the adjustable legs up and down can adjust the distance between the pot base and the adjusting ring, and correspondingly adjust the distance between the auxiliary pot and the main pot; the adjusting ring is stored in the inner edge of the top of the main pot; after the locking bolt is tightened, it is embedded inward, so that it will not rub against the pot body when moving.

[0012] Preferably, the outer wall of the adjusting ring is evenly distributed with elastic buckles, the bottom of the elastic buckles is provided with a spring, and a sealing ring is sleeved on the elastic buckles; the adjusting ring is placed downward in the main pot, and the elastic buckles abut against the inner wall of the top edge of the main pot, so that the main pot and the auxiliary pot are more firmly connected.

[0013] Preferably, the pot base has an annular thickened area at its center, and reinforcing ribs are radially distributed between the thickened area and the pot base; the pot base includes two specifications, one with a solid bottom, which heats the food inside through heat conduction; and the other with a hollow bottom, which heats the food through hot steam.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are: Adjustable spacing to suit diverse cooking needs: The adjustable bottom of the secondary pot allows for flexible adjustment of the distance between the main pot and the secondary pot by adjusting the support legs and the adjustment ring. This can reduce the distance when efficient heat conduction is needed (such as when the secondary pot needs to be heated quickly) or increase the distance when temperature control is needed (such as to prevent the secondary pot from overheating), thus meeting the cooking temperature requirements of different ingredients and improving cooking flexibility.

[0015] Prevent spills and cross-contamination of flavors to ensure cooking quality: The adjustable bottom of the pot creates a flow gap between the main pot and the secondary pot. When the main pot is heated, the expanding liquid can flow back into the main pot through the gap, effectively preventing it from overflowing into the secondary pot. At the same time, the gap reduces the direct flow of odors between the main and secondary pots, preventing different foods from mixing flavors and ensuring that the original flavor of each ingredient is not affected. This is especially suitable for scenarios where multiple flavored foods are cooked at the same time.

[0016] The connection is secure, and it is safe and convenient to use. The elastic buckle on the outer wall of the adjustment ring, together with the spring and sealing ring, can tightly abut against the inner wall of the top of the main pot, enhancing the connection stability between the main pot and the auxiliary pot and preventing misalignment or separation during use; the magnetic connection design of the hanging ears and the detachable handle not only ensures the stability of the handle installation, but also enables quick disassembly and universal interchangeability, suitable for the main pot, auxiliary pot and other pots of the same size, reducing storage space and improving ease of use.

Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model.

[0021] Example:

[0022] Please see Figure 1-5 The present invention provides the following technical solution: A multi-layer adjustable stainless steel cookware includes a main pot 1 and a secondary pot 2. The bottom of the secondary pot 2 is provided with an adjustable pot bottom 5. The secondary pot 2 is stacked on the top inner edge of the main pot 1, and the adjustable pot bottom 5 is located between the secondary pot 2 and the main pot 1. The main body diameter of the secondary pot 2 is the same as the main body diameter of the main pot 1, but the diameter of the adjustable pot bottom 5 is smaller than the main body diameter. The adjustable pot bottom 5 includes a pot base 5-1 and an adjusting ring 5-3. The adjusting ring 5-3 is located at the bottom of the pot base 5-1, and adjusting legs 5-4 are axially distributed between the adjusting ring 5-3 and the pot base 5-1. The adjustable support leg 5-4 is movably inserted into the adjusting ring 5-3. The position where the adjusting ring 5-3 contacts the adjustable support leg 5-4 is provided with an upwardly protruding limiting ring, and the adjustable support leg 5-4 is inserted into the limiting ring. A locking bolt 5-5 is installed on the limiting ring, and the locking bolt 5-5 fixes the adjustable support leg 5-4 inward. Pulling the adjustable support leg 5-4 up and down can adjust the distance between the pot base 5-1 and the adjusting ring 5-3, which in turn adjusts the distance between the auxiliary pot 2 and the main pot 1. The adjusting ring 5-3 is stored in the inner edge of the top of the main pot 1. When the adjustable support leg 5-4 is fully retracted to the limit stop ring, the bottom of the auxiliary pot 2 is completely locked onto the main pot 1. Adjusting the adjustable pot base 5 can leave a certain flow gap between the auxiliary pot 2 and the main pot 1. The flow gap can prevent the main pot 1 from overflowing due to heating and prevent the expanding liquid in the main pot 1 from overflowing into the auxiliary pot 2 and causing cross-contamination of flavors. After tightening the locking bolt 5-5, it will be inserted inward, preventing it from rubbing against the pot body during movement; The outer wall of the adjusting ring 5-3 is evenly distributed with elastic buckles 5-6. The bottom of the elastic buckle 5-6 is provided with a spring, and a sealing ring is fitted on the elastic buckle 5-6. The adjusting ring 5-3 is placed downward in the main pot 1, and the elastic buckles 5-6 abut against the inner wall of the top edge of the main pot 1, which plays an auxiliary fixing role, so that the main pot 1 and the auxiliary pot 2 are more firmly connected. The pot base 5-1 has an annular thickened area 5-2 at its center, and reinforcing ribs are radially distributed between the thickened area 5-2 and the pot base 5-1. The pot base 5-1 comes in two specifications: one with a solid bottom, which heats the food inside through heat conduction; and the other with a perforated bottom, which heats the food through hot steam. Both sides of the main pot 1 and the auxiliary pot 2 are symmetrically equipped with hanging ears 3, and the hanging ears 3 are equipped with disassembly handles 4; the outer side of the hanging ears 3 is provided with an outwardly protruding fixing block 3-1, and the fixing block 3-1 is provided with an upwardly extending hanging ear groove 3-2. The disassembly handle 4 is provided with an L-shaped docking ear 4-1 on the side near the hanging ear 3. The docking ear 4-1 is inserted upward into the hanging ear groove 3-2. The hanging ear 3 of the main pot 1 and the auxiliary pot 2 have the same structure, so the disassembly handle 4 is universal. After removing the disassembly handle 4, it can be quickly used on other pots. The top of the connecting ear 4-1 and the top of the ear slot 3-2 are provided with magnetic suction parts 4-2 that attract each other. The disassembly handle 4 is inserted into the ear 3 and can be prevented from falling off by magnetic attraction.

[0023] Working principle: This solution consists of two parts: the main pot 1 and the secondary pot 2. The core is to achieve flexible combination and distance adjustment of the two through the adjustable pot bottom 5 at the bottom of the secondary pot, while the universal disassembly handle 4 enhances the convenience of use.

[0024] The adjustable support legs 5-4 are axially distributed between the pot base 5-1 and the adjusting ring 5-3, and are movably inserted into the limiting stop ring of the adjusting ring 5-3. By pulling the adjustable support legs 5-4 up and down, the distance between the pot base 5-1 and the adjusting ring 5-3 can be changed, thereby adjusting the distance between the auxiliary pot 2 and the main pot 1. The limiting ring of the adjusting ring 5-3 is equipped with a locking bolt 5-5. After adjusting to the target distance, tightening the locking bolt 5-5 can fix the adjusting support leg 5-4. The locking bolt 5-5 is embedded inward to prevent it from rubbing against the pot body when moving. When the adjustable support leg 5-4 is fully retracted, the bottom of the auxiliary pot 2 is completely engaged with the main pot 1, achieving a tight fit; when the adjustable support leg 5-4 is extended, a flow gap is formed between the auxiliary pot 2 and the main pot 1, which can prevent liquid from overflowing into the auxiliary pot 2 when the main pot 1 is heated, thus avoiding cross-contamination of flavors. The outer wall of the adjusting ring 5-3 is evenly distributed with spring-loaded elastic buckles 5-6, and each elastic buckle 5-6 is fitted with a sealing ring. When the adjusting ring 5-3 is placed inside the main pot 1, the elastic buckles 5-6 abut against the inner wall of the top edge of the main pot 1, enhancing the firmness of the connection between the main and auxiliary pots.

[0025] The main pot 1 and the auxiliary pot 2 are symmetrically equipped with hanging ears 3 on both sides. The fixing block 3-1 on the outer side of the hanging ears 3 has a hanging ear groove 3-2. The L-shaped connecting ear 4-1 of the disassembly handle 4 can be inserted upward into the hanging ear groove 3-2, and the connecting ear 4-1 and the magnetic part 4-2 at the top of the hanging ear groove 3-2 attract each other to prevent them from falling off. Since the hanging ears 3 of the main pot and the auxiliary pot have the same structure, they are interchangeable and can be used for other pot bodies after being removed. The pot base 5-1 has an annular thickened area 5-2 in the center, with radially distributed reinforcing ribs in the thickened area 5-2 to improve the structural strength and stability. Solid bottom: Heats the food inside directly through heat conduction, suitable for cooking scenarios that require rapid heat conduction; Hollow bottom: Food is heated by the hot steam generated by the main pot, which is suitable for steaming, boiling, braising and other scenarios that require indirect heating.
