Detailed Implementation

[0022] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, and not all of them. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0023] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this invention pertains. The terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the invention. The term "and / or" as used herein includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.

[0024] To address the problems of food being difficult to cook and uneven heating leading to partially burnt or undercooked food, this invention provides a cooking pot. This cooking pot allows cooks to produce satisfactory results without requiring skilled cooking techniques, and is particularly suitable for cooking dishes such as crispy rice crusts, pancakes, and pan-fried dishes that are cooked directly in contact with the inner wall of the pot.

[0025] See Figures 1-2 The cooking pot 100 includes a pot body and a support 40. The pot body includes a pot bottom 10 and a pot circumference 30. The bottom end of the pot circumference 30 is connected to the edge of the pot bottom 10, and the top end of the pot circumference 30 forms a pot opening. The pot bottom 10 and the pot circumference 30 together define a pot cavity with the pot opening as the opening. The top end of the support 40 is connected to the outer side of the pot circumference 30. The connection position between the two is a preset support position. The preset support position is not lower than the bottom end of the pot circumference 30, that is, the preset support position is flush with or higher than the bottom end of the pot circumference 30. The bottom end of the support 40 includes a stove positioning part 41. The stove positioning part 41 is set away from the pot opening and is used to be fixedly adapted to the pot rack 220 of the stove 200.

[0026] See Figure 3 The present invention also provides a cooking device, which includes a stove 200 and a cooking pot 100 of the present invention. The stove 200 includes a stove platform 210 and a pot rack 220 disposed on the stove platform 210. The pot rack 220 is used to support the cooking pot 100. When the cooking pot 100 is correctly placed on the pot rack 220, the pot rack 220 and the pot positioning part 41 are fixedly adapted. The position of the cooking pot 100 placed on the pot rack 220 is limited by the adaptation between the pot positioning part 41 and the pot rack 220, and at the same time, the degree of freedom of the cooking pot 100 to tilt and sway relative to the pot rack 220 and the stove platform 210 is limited.

[0027] The outer side of the pot circumference 30 is the side of the pot circumference 30 that faces away from the pot cavity. The top and bottom ends of the pot circumference 30 are two opposite ends of the pot circumference 30. The top and bottom ends of the support platform 40 are two opposite ends of the support platform 40. When the cooking pot 100 is placed on the pot rack 220, the top end of the pot circumference 30 is the end of the pot circumference 30 that is relatively far away from the stove 210 and the pot rack 220, and the top end of the support platform 40 is the end of the support platform 40 that is relatively far away from the stove 210 and the pot rack 220.

[0028] Specifically, such as Figure 3As shown, the stove 210 has a burner, and the stove 200 also includes a burner cap 230 installed in the burner. The pot rack 220 includes a fixedly connected suspension bracket 221, a positioning adapter 222, and a support foot 223. The support foot 223 is located at the end of the suspension bracket 221 that is relatively far away from the cooking pot 100 and is placed on the stove 210. The positioning adapter 222 is located at the end of the suspension bracket 221 that is relatively close to the cooking pot 100. The suspension bracket 221 is a hollow ring structure surrounding the burner cap 230.

[0029] Optionally, after the stove positioning part 41 and the pot rack 220 define the position of the cooking pot 100 relative to the pot rack 220, the burner cap 230 and the pot bottom 10 are arranged opposite each other and the burner cap 230 and the pot body are coaxial. The axis of the pot body is the common axis of the pot bottom 10 and the pot circumference 30. At this time, the heated part of the pot body is the entire pot bottom 10, that is, all positions on the pot bottom 10 can be heated. The heated part is the part of the pot body that is directly burned by the flame of the burner cap 230.

[0030] Compared with the prior art, the cooking pot 100 of this utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0031] The selection of the preset support position ensures that the connection between the support 40 and the pot body avoids the bottom 10 of the pot, eliminating the disadvantage of the excessive total wall thickness of the bottom 10 and the pot positioning part 41 due to the setting of the pot positioning part 41. It also overcomes the defect of low heat transfer efficiency in areas with a large wall thickness of the bottom 10. Under the condition of limiting the position and freedom of movement of the pot body relative to the pot support 220, the bottom 10 of the pot is not easy to shift relative to the fire cover 230. During the cooking process, the heated part of the pot body will not change, and the food will not deviate from the heated part of the pot body due to the offset or shaking of the cooking pot 100 relative to the pot support 220. The cook only needs to adjust the depth of the food in the pot cavity to be uniform beforehand to overcome all factors that may cause uneven heating of the food. This can avoid uneven heating of the food and prevent local burning or undercooking when cooking dishes such as rice crust, pancakes, and pan-fried dishes that are in direct contact with the inner wall of the pot.

[0032] In some embodiments, the wall thickness of the pot bottom 10 is uniform at all locations. Figure 2 In the cooking pot 100 shown, the bottom 10 is a flat shell structure. In the embodiment not shown in the figure, the bottom 10 can also be a spherical shell structure or a shell structure of other shapes.

[0033] With this design, the heat transfer efficiency of the pot bottom 10 tends to be uniform, and the food inside the pot cavity is heated more evenly. In particular, the problem of localized burning or undercooking of food, such as rice crust, pancakes, and pan-fried dumplings, which are in direct contact with the inner wall of the pot bottom 10, is significantly improved.

[0034] See Figures 1-2 In some embodiments, the pot body and the support platform 40 are integrally formed monolithic structures.

[0035] With this design, the support stand 40 is less likely to be lost or damaged, and the cooking pot 100 is easier to move. Users can move the pot and support stand 40 together to the pot rack 220 or remove them from the pot rack 220.

[0036] In other embodiments, the pot body and the support platform 40 can also be two separately formed components. The pot body and the support platform 40 can be connected by a detachable connection.

[0037] See Figures 1-2 In some embodiments, there are multiple pot and stove positioning parts 41, which are centrally symmetrically distributed about the axis of the cooking pot 100. The axis of the cooking pot 100 is the common axis of the pot bottom 10 and the pot circumference 30. Correspondingly, there are multiple positioning adapter parts 222, which are centrally symmetrically distributed about the axis of the suspension bracket 221. After the multiple pot and stove positioning parts 41 and the multiple positioning adapter parts 222 are respectively fitted and fixed, the axis of the cooking pot 100 coincides with the axis of the suspension bracket 221. For ease of description, the common axis when the cooking pot 100 and the suspension bracket 221 are coaxially arranged is referred to as the centering positioning axis.

[0038] This design better limits the offset and tilt of the cooking pot 100 relative to the pot rack 220, making it easier for users to place the cooking pot 100 onto the pot rack 220. The pot positioning part 41 and the positioning adapter part 222 provide multiple positional forms for the pot rack 220 to support and position the cooking pot 100. Different positional forms represent different angles of the cooking pot 100 relative to the centering positioning axis, and users can select any positional form as needed.

[0039] See Figures 1-2 In some embodiments, the support platform 40 is a hollow annular or cylindrical structure. The support platform 40 surrounds the outer periphery of the pot bottom 10 and forms a heat-gathering cavity 43. The bottom end of the support platform 40 forms a flame inlet with its opening facing away from the pot opening, serving as the opening of the heat-gathering cavity 43. After the pot positioning part 41 and the positioning adapter part 222 are fitted and fixed, the hollow channel of the suspension bracket 221 connects to the heat-gathering cavity 43, and the flame inlet and the burner cap 230 are positioned opposite each other. The spatial shape of the heat-gathering cavity 43 is annular, cylindrical, or frustum-shaped.

[0040] With this configuration, after the burner cap 230 is ignited, the flame enters the heat-gathering chamber 43 directly from the flame inlet. The support 40 can contain the flame and heat within the heat-gathering chamber 43, reducing heat loss to the outside of the heat-gathering chamber 43, improving the efficiency of the stove 210 in heating the cooking pot 100, and helping the food to be heated and cooked quickly.

[0041] See Figures 1-3In some embodiments, the stove positioning part 41 forms a stove positioning groove 42, with the groove opening facing away from the pot opening. Correspondingly, the positioning adapter part 222 protrudes from the end of the suspension bracket 221 facing away from the support foot 223. When the stove positioning part 41 and the positioning adapter part 222 are fitted and fixed, the positioning adapter part 222 is embedded in the stove positioning groove 42, and the pot rack 220 and the cooking pot 100 form an anti-rotation fit, thus restricting the degree of freedom of the cooking pot 100 to rotate relative to the pot rack 220 around the centering positioning axis.

[0042] With this design, when the user stirs the ingredients in the pot cavity during cooking, the cooking pot 100 is more stable and less likely to be driven to rotate around the center positioning axis.

[0043] The pot and stove positioning groove 42 can extend radially along the cooking pot 100 or form an angle with the radial direction of the cooking pot 100, as long as it does not extend circumferentially along the cooking pot 100.

[0044] exist Figures 1-3 In the cooking pot 100 and cooking equipment shown, the outer side of the support 40 is penetrated by the pot / stove positioning groove 42 to form an outer positioning groove, and the inner side of the support 40 is penetrated by the pot / stove positioning groove 42 to form an inner positioning groove. The distance from the pot / stove positioning groove 42 to the axis of the cooking pot 100 is varied from the inner positioning groove to the outer positioning groove. The outer positioning groove allows the user to observe the positioning adapter 222 and determine whether the cooking pot 100 and the pot support 220 are correctly fitted based on the relative position of the positioning adapter 222 and the pot / stove positioning groove 42.

[0045] Furthermore, such as Figure 2 As shown, the bottom of the pot and stove positioning groove 42 protrudes from the side of the pot bottom 10 facing away from the pot opening. When the pot and stove positioning part 41 and the positioning adapter part 222 are fitted and fixed, the positioning adapter part 222 abuts against the bottom of the pot and stove positioning groove 42. In other words, even at the deepest point of the pot and stove positioning groove 42, the distance from the pot and stove positioning part 41 to the upper surface of the stove platform 210 is still greater than the distance from the pot bottom 10 to the upper surface of the stove platform 210.

[0046] With this configuration, when the cooking pot 100 is placed on the pot rack 220, the bottom of the pot 10 will not come into contact with the positioning adapter 222 or other structural parts on the pot rack 220, and the bottom of the pot 10 will not be blocked by the pot rack 220. As a result, all parts of the bottom of the pot 10 can be burned by the flame. In addition, the height of the bottom of the pot positioning groove 42 protruding from the side of the bottom of the pot 10 facing away from the pot opening also ensures that the distance between the bottom of the pot 10 and the burner cap 230 is appropriate, so that the flame can efficiently burn the bottom of the pot 10.

[0047] See Figure 2In some embodiments, the pot body further includes a ring-shaped transition section 20. The bottom end of the pot circumference 30 is fixedly connected to one end of the transition section 20, and the outer peripheral edge of the pot bottom 10 is fixedly connected to the other end of the transition section 20. The pot bottom 10, the transition section 20, and the pot circumference 30 together form a pot cavity. The outer diameter of the pot circumference 30 is smaller than the outer peripheral edge diameter of the pot bottom 10. The inner diameter of the transition section 20 increases in a direction away from the pot circumference 30 and closer to the pot bottom 10, and the outer diameter of the transition section 20 increases in a direction away from the pot circumference 30 and closer to the pot bottom 10. The inner side of the transition section 20 can be a spherical or conical surface, and the outer side of the transition section 20 can be a spherical or conical surface. The inner side of the transition section 20 forms the inner wall of the pot cavity, and the outer side of the transition section 20 faces away from the pot cavity. A ring-shaped heat-gathering cavity 43 is formed between the inner side of the support platform 40 and the outer side of the transition section 20.

[0048] Both the bottom 10 and the transition section 20 serve as the heating parts of the pot body. Compared to using only the bottom 10 as the heating part of the pot body, this embodiment increases the heating part of the pot body.

[0049] This design allows for a smoother transition between the bottom 10 and the perimeter 30 of the pot, and a gentler change in the angle of the pot wall from the bottom 10 to the perimeter 30. This prevents heat from accumulating near the corner area due to a large angle between the bottom 10 and the perimeter 30, thus preventing food from burning at the junction of the bottom 10 and the perimeter 30. In addition, the transition section 20 allows for a larger volume of the heat-concentrating cavity 43, which can hold a stronger flame and more heat, thus improving the efficiency of cooking food.

[0050] Furthermore, the wall thickness of the transition portion 20 is uniformly set. If the transition portion 20 is cut with a cutting plane perpendicular to the axis of the cooking pot 100, the distance from the inner side of the transition portion 20 to the outer side of the transition portion 20 is a constant value θ. As the cutting plane moves along the axis of the cooking pot 100, the constant value θ remains unchanged.

[0051] With this configuration, the heat transfer efficiency of the transition section 20 tends to be uniform, and the food inside the pot cavity is heated more evenly, making it less likely for the food to be locally burnt or undercooked.

[0052] See Figures 1-2 In some embodiments, the inner shape of the support platform 40 is similar to the outer periphery of the frustum structure, and the inner diameter of the support platform 40 gradually increases from the top end to the bottom end. The inner diameter of the support platform 40 is the diameter of the inner side of the support platform 40.

[0053] With this design, the shape of the annular heat-concentrating cavity 43 is more suitable for the shape of the flame on the fire cap, which can prevent the flame from directly scorching the support platform 40 and reduce the waste of flame heat.

[0054] The cooking equipment of this invention can be controlled by a voice module. It is equipped with a controller, a voice receiving module, and a voice parsing module. The voice receiving module receives user commands, and the voice parsing module parses the commands. Based on the parsed commands, the controller controls the cooking equipment to perform corresponding operations, thereby realizing intelligent control of the cooking equipment and improving the user experience.

[0055] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined in any way. For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.
