Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of household appliances technology, and in particular to a pot rack and cooking equipment. Background Technology

[0002] Traditional pot racks are relatively simple in both structure and function, serving only to support and hold the pot for heating. Some newer pot racks, while supporting the pot, can also be directly heated by the flame, accumulating heat and then conducting and radiating it to the pot. While these racks offer a novel heating method, their limited functionality restricts their applicability, making them suitable only for cooking simple dishes. Utility Model Content

[0003] In view of this, the present invention provides a pot rack and cooking equipment suitable for various heating modes with different heat levels to achieve diversified cooking methods.

[0004] The top of the pot frame includes a heat transfer plate and flame outlet holes formed on the side of the heat transfer plate. The bottom of the pot frame has flame inlet holes. The heat transfer plate covers part of the flame inlet holes. The uncovered areas of the flame inlet holes and the flame outlet holes are arranged sequentially and connected along the height direction of the pot frame.

[0005] This utility model's pot rack is used in conjunction with a stove and can achieve both slow and fast heating: in slow heating mode, the heat transfer plate is directly heated by the stove's flame and accumulates heat, while the pot body is baked by the high-temperature heat transfer plate; in fast heating mode, the stove's flame passes directly through the flame inlet and outlet holes, directly heating the pot body. The fast and slow heating modes can be used individually or in combination, thus enabling diverse cooking methods.

[0006] In some implementations, the heat transfer plate is coaxial with the flame inlet, and the flame outlet is located on the outer periphery of the heat transfer plate.

[0007] In some implementations, the flame outlet holes are symmetrically arranged about the common axis of the heat transfer plate and the flame inlet holes.

[0008] In some embodiments, the pot frame also includes a main support for supporting the heat transfer plate, with a flame outlet formed between the top of the main support and the heat transfer plate, and a flame inlet formed at the bottom of the main support.

[0009] In some embodiments, the pot support also includes a suspension bracket disposed on the main support, the suspension bracket protruding from the top of the heat transfer plate; and / or, the heat transfer plate and the main support form a detachable connection.

[0010] In some embodiments, the heat transfer plate has an assembly section on its side, the assembly section having a limiting groove, and the suspension bracket protruding from the inner wall of the main support and inserted into the limiting groove; and / or,

[0011] The inner wall of the main support is provided with a support section, and the side of the heat transfer plate is provided with an assembly section, with the support section supporting the assembly section.

[0012] In some embodiments, the assembly includes spokes and a base, with the two ends of the spokes connected to the side of the heat transfer plate and the base, respectively. The base overlaps the support and is adapted to the inner wall of the main support. A limiting groove is formed at the end of the base and / or the spoke that is relatively away from the heat transfer plate.

[0013] In some embodiments, the top and / or bottom surfaces of the heat transfer plate are provided with countersunk holes.

[0014] The cooking equipment of this utility model includes a stove body, a fire cap, and the pot rack described above. The fire cap is located inside the stove hole of the stove body and includes a first fire cap and a second fire cap. A heat transfer plate covers the first fire cap, and the second fire cap and the flame outlet are arranged sequentially along the height direction of the pot rack.

[0015] In some embodiments, a temperature sensing unit and a lifting drive unit with communication connection are also included. The temperature sensing unit is used to sense the temperature of the pot body, and the lifting drive unit is used to obtain the temperature of the pot body and drive the pot body or heat transfer plate along the height direction of the pot frame based on the temperature of the pot body.

[0016] This utility model's pot rack is used in conjunction with a stove and can achieve both slow and fast heating: in slow heating mode, the heat transfer plate is directly heated by the stove's flame and accumulates heat, while the pot body is baked by the high-temperature heat transfer plate; in fast heating mode, the stove's flame passes directly through the flame inlet and outlet holes, directly heating the pot body. The fast and slow heating modes can be used individually or in combination, thus enabling diverse cooking methods.

[0017] In slow heating mode, the heat transfer plate bakes the pot body, resulting in a larger heating area. This replaces the single-flame heating mode that only heats a portion of the pot body, preventing undercooked or burnt food. It also keeps the food warm and maintains a slight boil inside the pot. In fast heating mode, the temperature of the food inside the pot can be quickly increased in a short time, shortening the cooking time. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0027] 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.

[0028] 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 "or / and" as used herein includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.

[0029] This utility model provides a pot rack for use with a stove, as well as a cooking device including the pot rack. The pot rack of this utility model not only has the basic functions of a traditional pot rack, namely supporting and placing the pot body 80 for heating, but is also suitable for various heating modes with different heat levels, thereby enabling diverse cooking methods. These cooking methods include a slow heating mode and a fast heating mode. In the slow heating mode, the food inside the pot body 80 can be kept warm and kept at a slight boiling state. In the fast heating mode, the temperature of the food inside the pot can be quickly increased, shortening the cooking time.

[0030] The top of the pot rack of this utility model includes a heat transfer plate 10 and a suspension bracket 61. The side of the heat transfer plate 10 has a flame outlet hole 30, and the bottom of the pot rack has a flame inlet hole 40. A portion of the flame inlet hole 40 is covered by the heat transfer plate 10, and the portion of the flame inlet hole 40 not covered by the heat transfer plate 10 is exposed through the flame outlet hole 30. The flame outlet hole 40 and the flame outlet hole 30 are sequentially arranged and connected along the height direction of the pot rack. The suspension bracket 61 is used to support the bottom of the pot body 80. In addition to the pot rack, the cooking equipment of this utility model also includes a stove, which includes a stove body 71 and a burner cap. The top of the stove body 71 has a burner hole, and the burner cap is located inside the burner hole and includes a first burner cap 721 and a second burner cap 722. The heat transfer plate 10 covers the first burner cap 721. The flame outlet hole 30, the portion of the flame inlet hole 40 not covered by the heat transfer plate 10, and the second burner cap 722 are sequentially arranged along the height direction of the pot rack. Both the first flame cap 721 and the second flame cap 722 can generate flames. The flame generated by the first flame cap 721 burns the heat transfer plate 10, and the flame generated by the second flame cap 722 passes through the flame inlet hole 40 and the flame outlet hole 30 to burn the pot body 80.

[0031] Optionally, when the first burner cap 721 produces a flame and the second burner cap 722 does not, the stove is in low-heat mode; when the second burner cap 722 produces a flame and the first burner cap 721 does not, the stove is in high-heat mode; and when both the first and second burner caps 721 and 722 produce flames simultaneously, the stove is in high-heat mode. In low-heat mode, the stove and pot rack are compatible and suitable for cooking rice crusts, soups, stews, pancakes, etc., and can also keep the food in the pot warm. In high-heat and high-heat modes, the stove and pot rack are compatible and suitable for rapid boiling of water, etc. It is worth noting that in other embodiments, there is no high-heat mode, only low-heat and high-heat modes.

[0032] This utility model's pot rack, when used in conjunction with a stove, enables both slow and fast heating: In slow heating mode, the second burner cap 722 does not produce a flame, and the heat transfer plate 10 is directly heated and accumulates heat by the flame of the first burner cap 721, while the bottom of the pot body 80 is baked by the high-temperature heat transfer plate 10; In fast heating mode, the second burner cap 722 produces a flame, which passes directly through the flame inlet hole 40 and the flame outlet hole 30, thus directly heating the bottom of the pot body 80. The first burner cap 721 has fewer flames and a lower height, while the second burner cap 722 has more flames and a higher height. Users can flexibly select the heating mode according to the recipe. The fast and slow heating modes can be used individually to cook some simple dishes, or both heating modes can be used for more complex recipes, such as using the fast heating mode initially and the slow heating mode later. In slow heating mode, the pot body 80 is baked by the heat transfer plate 10, and the heating area of ​​the pot body 80 is larger. In contrast, if the flame of the first fire cover 721 directly burns the bottom of the pot body 80, it will cause the food inside the pot body 80 to be overheated and burnt, while the other food will be underheated and undercooked.

[0033] Specifically, when the stove is placed on a level surface, the pot rack is vertical. If an observer looks at the top of the stove 71 with a line of sight parallel to the height of the pot rack, the first burner cap 721 is vertically below the heat transfer plate 10 and is not visible to the observer. The second burner cap 722 is visible to the observer because it is exposed through the flame inlet 40 and the flame outlet 30. Therefore, in the absence of wind, the flame generated by the first burner cap 721 directly burns the side of the heat transfer plate 10 that is closer to the ground, while the flame generated by the second burner cap 722 remains vertical and passes directly through the flame inlet 40 and the flame outlet 30, thus directly burning the bottom of the pot 80.

[0034] See Figures 1-2 , Figures 5-8 In some embodiments, the heat transfer plate 10 has a circular plate structure, and the pot frame also includes a main support 50 that supports the heat transfer plate 10. The main support 50 has a hollow annular structure, and a flame outlet 30 is formed between the top of the main support 50 and the outer periphery of the heat transfer plate 10. A flame inlet 40 is provided at the bottom of the main support 50. The heat transfer plate 10, the main support 50, and the flame inlet 40 are coaxially arranged. The height direction of the pot frame is parallel to the common axis of the heat transfer plate 10, the main support 50, and the flame inlet 40. The area of ​​the flame inlet 40 that is not covered by the heat transfer plate 10 is an annular area. The first flame cap 721 is columnar, and the second flame cap 722 is annular and arranged around the first flame cap 721. The first flame cap 721 and the second flame cap 722 are coaxial, and their common axis coincides with the axis of the main support 50. The second flame cap 722 has more flames and a larger burning area than the first flame cap 721.

[0035] Optionally, such as Figures 6-7 As shown, the suspension bracket 61 protrudes from the top of the heat transfer plate 10 and the top of the main support 50. The suspension bracket 61 supports the bottom of the pot body 80 so that the bottom of the pot body 80 and the heat transfer plate 10 are spaced apart, and the bottom of the pot body 80 and the top of the main support 50 are spaced apart. With this arrangement, the bottom of the pot body 80 does not directly contact the heat transfer plate 10. The heat accumulated in the heat transfer plate 10 is transferred to the pot body 80 by heat conduction and heat radiation, ensuring that the bottom of the pot body 80 is heated evenly. The gap between the bottom of the pot body 80 and the top of the main support 50 ensures that the distance between the pot body 80 and the flame cap is appropriate. When the second flame cap 722 generates a flame, the bottom of the pot body 80 is scorched by the top of the flame with a higher temperature, avoiding the flame being suppressed by the bottom of the pot body 80, which would cause the pot body 80 to be scorched by the middle of the flame with a lower temperature.

[0036] In some embodiments, the heat transfer plate 10 is detachably connected to the main support 50. When the heat transfer plate 10 and the main support 50 are connected, the pot rack and the stove are matched and provide two different heating modes with different heat outputs: slow heating and fast heating. When the heat transfer plate 10 is separated from the main support 50, the main support 50 and the stove are matched to provide a single heat output mode. In this case, either only the second burner cap 722 can produce a flame, or both the first burner cap 721 and the second burner cap 722 can produce flames simultaneously. It can be understood that when the heat transfer plate 10 is separated from the main support 50, the flames from the first burner cap 721 and the second burner cap 722 directly burn the bottom of the pot body 80. With this configuration, the pot rack has more diverse forms and functions. When the heat transfer plate 10 is separated from the main support 50, the pot rack of this invention can be used as a traditional pot rack. When the heat transfer plate 10 is connected to the main support 50, the pot rack of this invention provides both fast heating and slow heating modes.

[0037] See Figure 2 , Figures 3-8The heat transfer plate 10 has an assembly section on its side, which includes a base 22 and multiple spokes 21. The multiple spokes 21 are evenly arranged along the circumference of the heat transfer plate 10. One end of each spoke 21 is connected to the side of the heat transfer plate 10, and the other end of each spoke 21 is connected to the base 22 and has a limiting groove 211. The base 22 includes multiple arc-shaped supports. The two ends of each arc-shaped support are respectively connected to two adjacent spokes 21. The multiple arc-shaped supports are arranged along the circumference of the heat transfer plate 10, and the axis of each arc-shaped support coincides with the axis of the heat transfer plate 10. The annular gap between the outer periphery of the heat transfer plate 10 and the top of the main support 50 is divided into multiple flame outlet holes 30 by the multiple spokes 21. The multiple flame outlet holes 30 are symmetrical about the common axis of the heat transfer plate 10 and the flame inlet holes 40. The suspension bracket 61 protrudes from the inner wall of the main support 50 and is inserted into the limiting groove 211. The insertion and engagement between the limiting groove 211 and the suspension bracket 61 restricts the rotational freedom between the heat transfer plate 10 and the main support 50. The inner wall of the main support 50 is also provided with a support part 62. The base 22 overlaps the support part 62. The weight of the heat transfer plate 10, the pot body 80 and the food in the pot body 80 is borne by the support part 62. The outer periphery of the base 22 is adapted to the inner wall of the main support 50. The outer periphery of the base 22 is formed by multiple arc-shaped brackets on the side facing away from the axis of the heat transfer plate 10.

[0038] It is understood that in other embodiments, the limiting groove 211 may also be formed on the base 22.

[0039] With this configuration, the pot rack has a more stable shape, and the shape and position of the flame outlet 30 are determined, ensuring that the flame of the second flame cap 722 can pass smoothly through the flame inlet 40 and the flame outlet 30, thereby ensuring the effective burning area of ​​the bottom of the pot body 80 by the flame of the second flame cap 722, and ensuring that the heat transfer plate 10 can always effectively block the first flame cap 721, thereby ensuring that the flame of the first flame cap 721 can stably burn the heat transfer plate 10.

[0040] See Figures 1-2 , Figure 4 In some embodiments, the top and / or bottom surfaces of the heat transfer plate 10 are further provided with countersunk holes 11, and the first flame cap 721 has flame outlet holes 30 for the flame to be ejected. The number of countersunk holes 11 is approximately equal to the number of flame outlet holes 30 of the first flame cap 721. With this configuration, the wall thickness of the position on the heat transfer plate 10 that is in direct contact with the flame of the first flame cap 721 is reduced by providing countersunk holes 11, which helps the heat transfer plate 10 to accumulate heat and heat up quickly. At the same time, it also increases the area of ​​the heat transfer plate 10, thereby increasing the area of ​​the pot body 80 that is baked.

[0041] like Figure 4 , Figures 6-8As shown, in some embodiments, the pot rack also includes a support portion 73 located at the bottom of the main support 50. The support portion 73 contacts the top of the stove body 71. The bottom of the main support 50 and the top of the stove body 71 are spaced apart. The support portion 73 can be a heat-resistant structure with a soft cushioning material.

[0042] In some embodiments, the cooking device further includes a temperature sensing unit 74 and a lifting drive unit connected in communication. The temperature sensing unit 74 is used to sense the temperature of the pot body 80, and the lifting drive unit is used to acquire the temperature of the pot body 80 and drive the pot body 80 or the heat transfer plate 10 along the height direction of the pot rack based on the temperature of the pot body 80, thereby adjusting the distance between the heat transfer plate 10 and the bottom of the pot body 80. When the temperature sensing unit 74 senses that the temperature of the bottom of the pot body 80 has not reached the desired temperature, the lifting drive unit drives the heat transfer plate 10 and the bottom of the pot body 80 to move closer to each other to accelerate the rate at which the pot body 80 is heated by the heat transfer plate 10; when the temperature sensing unit 74 senses that the temperature of the bottom of the pot body 80 is higher than the desired temperature, in order to avoid the food from burning and drying out, the lifting drive unit drives the heat transfer plate 10 and the bottom of the pot body 80 to move further apart. It should be noted that the above-mentioned desired temperature is not a certain temperature value, but is set in advance according to the specific recipe and cooking requirements. The desired temperature value may vary for different recipes, different cooking methods, and different cooking stages. The cooking device of this utility model has an intelligent system, which is connected to the temperature sensing unit 74, allowing users to set the desired temperature in advance before cooking.

[0043] See Figures 1-2 , Figures 5-8 Optionally, the heat transfer plate 10 is also provided with a through hole 12. A hollow channel is formed inside the first burner cap 721. The temperature sensing unit 74 has a columnar structure. One end of the temperature sensing unit 74 is located inside the stove body 71. Then the temperature sensing unit 74 passes through the hollow channel inside the first burner cap 721, and then passes through the through hole 12 until the other end of the temperature sensing unit 74 extends out of the heat transfer plate 10 and connects to the bottom of the pot body 80, so as to realize the temperature measurement of the bottom of the pot body 80.

[0044] This utility model of cooking equipment 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.

[0045] 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.

[0046] Those skilled in the art should recognize that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model. Any appropriate changes and variations made to the above embodiments within the scope of the essential spirit of the present utility model shall fall within the scope of protection claimed by the present utility model.
