Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of cookware technology, specifically a retractable lid dripper. Background Technology
[0002] Traditional pot lids typically have a fixed metal or plastic lid knob (also called a handle or lid knob) in the center of the top. The length, height, and shape of this lid knob are fixed and not adjustable, which has the following drawbacks: if the lid knob is too short, it can be hot to the touch when lifting the lid; if it is too long, the protruding lid knob can cause interference when stacking multiple lids or placing them in drawers, dishwashers, or sterilizers, resulting in low space utilization. Therefore, we have provided a retractable lid knob to solve these problems. Utility Model Content
[0003] To address the problems mentioned in the background section, this invention provides a retractable drip cap.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a retractable lid dripper, comprising a lid dripper body for connecting to a pot lid, the lid dripper body having a sliding hole with an opening at the top, a lid dripper block slidably connected within the sliding hole, and a limiting rod within the sliding hole to prevent the lid dripper block from disengaging from the sliding hole; when the pot lid is lifted using the lid dripper, the lid dripper block extends upwards out of the sliding hole and is limited to the opening of the sliding hole by the limiting rod; when the pot lid is lowered, the lid dripper block descends into the sliding hole.
[0005] Preferably, the limiting rod includes a sliding rod and an end block located at the upper end of the sliding rod, the diameter of the sliding rod being smaller than the diameter of the end block; the drip cap block is provided with a connecting hole for inserting the sliding rod and a limiting hole communicating with the connecting hole for inserting the end block, the diameter of the limiting hole being larger than the diameter of the connecting hole.
[0006] Preferably, the inner wall of the connecting hole is provided with a groove along the axial direction of the connecting hole; the groove can allow water or dirt in the limiting hole to flow downward into the sliding hole.
[0007] Preferably, the side of the drip cap body has a hole communicating with the sliding hole near the bottom of the sliding hole; the hole can drain water or dirt from the sliding hole, and also facilitate the air intake and exhaust of the sliding hole, thereby facilitating the movement of the drip cap block within the sliding hole.
[0008] Preferably, the lower end of the slide bar is provided with a connecting screw hole, which facilitates the installation of screws on the inside of the pot lid and thus the lid can be installed on the pot lid.
[0009] Preferably, the slide bar is threadedly fixedly connected to the body of the dropper cap, and the upper end of the limiting block is provided with an internal hexagonal hole; the internal hexagonal hole facilitates the fixed installation of the limiting component on the body of the dropper cap.
[0010] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: Burn prevention and storage compatibility: Preventing burns: When you need to lift the lid, the lid drip block can slide upwards and extend through the sliding hole, significantly increasing the operating height and keeping the user's fingers away from the hot lid surface, completely solving the problem of traditional low lid drips easily burning your hands.
[0011] Convenient storage: When the pot lid is stacked or placed in a drawer / dishwasher, the lid drip block can be completely retracted into the sliding hole, eliminating the protruding structure and keeping the top of the pot lid flat, greatly improving space utilization.
[0012] Self-cleaning and durability: Groove drainage design: The axial groove in the connecting hole can guide the water or dirt remaining in the limiting hole to the bottom of the sliding hole, avoiding the accumulation of liquid and the growth of bacteria.
[0013] Bottom drain hole: The side hole at the bottom of the sliding hole has both drainage and air venting functions: it can drain the water accumulated in the sliding hole, balance the air pressure to ensure the smooth sliding of the cover drip block, and reduce the accumulation of dirt.
[0014] Reliable structure and easy maintenance: Anti-fall-off limiting rod: The limiting rod's stepped structure of "sliding rod + end block" combined with the connecting hole and limiting hole of the drip cap block ensures that the drip cap block will not fall off the sliding hole in any position, making it safe and reliable.
[0015] Modular installation: The connecting screw hole at the bottom of the limit rod allows for screw fixing from the inside of the pot lid, ensuring a secure installation and concealing the screws; the internal hexagonal hole at the top facilitates quick disassembly and maintenance of the limit rod.

Detailed Implementation
[0017] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0018] Example 1 like Figure 1-5 As shown, the retractable cap includes: The dropper cap body 1 is made of high-temperature resistant plastic or metal, with a cylindrical sliding hole 101 open at the top center of the bottom. The dropper cap block 2 is nested within the sliding hole 101 and can slide along the axial direction of the sliding hole 101. It has an annular groove at the top for easy carrying. The dropper cap block 2 has a connecting hole 201 (a small-diameter circular hole) and a limiting hole 202 (a large-diameter circular hole) coaxially connected to the connecting hole 201.
[0019] It also includes a limiting rod 3: penetrating the cap dropper block 2 and fixed to the cap dropper body 1. The limiting rod 3 here includes a sliding rod 301, the lower end of which is provided with an external thread, which is screwed into the threaded hole at the bottom of the cap dropper body 1 for fixation; the limiting rod 3 also includes an end block 302, the diameter of which is larger than that of the sliding rod 301, and is located in the limiting hole 202.
[0020] This embodiment also includes an internal hexagonal hole (not shown in the prior art diagram) on the top of the end block 302 for tightening the limit rod with a hexagonal wrench; and a connecting screw hole 304 at the lower end of the slide rod 301 for passing through the pot lid screw for fixing.
[0021] Working process of the retractable lid dripper: Pick up the pot lid: Hold the lid dripper block 2 upwards with your fingers. The lid dripper block 2 slides upwards along the sliding hole 101 until the end block 302 touches the bottom limit hole 202. At this time, the lid dripper block is fully extended (anti-scalding mode). Place the pot lid: When the pot lid is lowered, the lid dripper block 2 retracts into the sliding hole 101 under gravity (storage mode).
[0022] Example 2 Based on Example 1: Groove 201a: Two symmetrical axial straight grooves are made on the inner wall of the connecting hole 201 of the drip block 2. Water can flow into the bottom of the sliding hole 101 along the grooves.
[0023] Drainage hole 102: A 2mm diameter through hole is made on the side of the drip cover body 1 near the bottom of the sliding hole 101. Accumulated water is discharged through this hole, while balancing the air pressure when the drip cover block slides.
