[0001] This utility model relates to a cookware and belongs to the technical field of cooking utensils. Background Technology
[0002] Cookware typically has a large diameter, which means it requires a significant amount of horizontal space when laid flat. Large woks, in particular, can take up a large portion of kitchen countertop or cabinet space, especially for users with limited kitchen space. In such cases, when not in use or idle, cookware can occupy considerable horizontal space and interfere with other kitchen operations. Utility Model Content
[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a cookware that can reduce the lateral space it occupies when not in use or when idle.
[0004] This utility model is achieved through the following technical solution.
[0005] A cookware includes a pot body; a support is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the pot body, the support having a first support structure and a second support structure, wherein when the pot body is upright, the first support structure and the second support structure are spaced apart from each other in the horizontal direction to provide support for the pot body when it is placed upright.
[0006] As a further improvement of this utility model, when the pot body is laid flat, the first support structure is located above the second support structure.
[0007] As a further improvement of this utility model, the support is formed by extending the first frame from the beginning of the outer wall of the pot body, and forming a second frame after bending and extending; the support forms a second support structure at the bending point between the first frame and the second frame, and the end of the second frame forms the first support structure.
[0008] As a further improvement of this utility model, the support includes a fixing member fixedly connected to the outer wall of the pot body, two first support rods spaced apart from each other and connected at their ends to the fixing member, two second support rods spaced apart from each other and respectively connected to the ends of the two first support rods, and a third support rod connecting the ends of the two second support rods; the spacing direction of the two first support rods is the same as the spacing direction of the two second support rods; the two first support rods form the first frame, and the two second support rods form the second frame; the connection between the ends of the first support rods and the second support rods has a bend structure and forms the second support structure, and the third support rod forms the first support structure.
[0009] As a further improvement of this utility model, the third support rod has a sleeve handle sleeved outside the third support rod. When the pot is placed upright, the part of the sleeve handle that provides support forms the first support structure, and the two second support rods are suspended above the placement surface.
[0010] As a further improvement of this utility model, the sleeve has at least one outwardly protruding support point, which provides support for the upright placement of the pot body and forms the first support structure.
[0011] As a further improvement of this utility model, the sleeve is higher than the opening height of the pot body, and the two angled structures are lower than the opening height of the pot body.
[0012] As a further improvement of this utility model, the angle formed by the folding structure is an acute angle.

[0014] As a further improvement of this utility model, a pot handle is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the pot body at the position relative to the support.
[0015] The beneficial effects of this utility model are: The cookware is designed to stand upright thanks to the first and second support structures of the stand. Firstly, this upright placement allows the cookware to be stored on the stovetop when not in use, saving space and making the kitchen look neater and more organized, while also ensuring easy access. Secondly, when not in use, the cookware can be arranged upright in a cabinet, eliminating stacking and the need to move upper cookware to retrieve lower ones, a common practice in traditional stacking systems. Thirdly, after cooking and tilting, the water on the inner and outer walls of the cookware, as well as the water on the outer wall, drains naturally due to gravity, effectively preventing water stains that can form when the cookware is laid flat. This also effectively inhibits bacterial growth and metal oxidation. Attached Figure Description
[0016] The preferred embodiments of this utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings to help understand the purpose and advantages of this utility model, wherein: Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the cookware's structure; Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of a cookware in an upright position. Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of the separate components of the stent. Detailed Implementation
[0017] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.
[0018] The directional terms such as up, down, left, right, front, back, front, back, top, and bottom mentioned or possibly used in this specification are defined relative to the construction shown in the accompanying drawings. The terms "inner" and "outer" refer to directions toward or away from the geometric center of a specific component, respectively. These are relative concepts and may therefore vary depending on their location and usage. Therefore, these or other directional terms should not be interpreted as restrictive.
[0019] A type of cookware, see reference Figures 1-3 The system includes a pot body 1, with a support 2 fixedly connected to its outer wall. The support 2 has a first support structure r1 and a second support structure r2. When the pot body 1 is upright, the relative positional relationship between the first support structure r1 and the second support structure r2 changes accordingly, and the two are spaced apart from each other in the horizontal direction. The first support structure r1 and the second support structure r2 can effectively support the pot body 1 on a surface such as a kitchen stove, thereby providing support for the pot body 1 to stand upright. It should be noted that "flat" refers to the pot body 1 being placed horizontally and in a normal cooking state, while "upright" refers to the pot body 1 being rotated approximately 90° from a flat position to an upright position and being able to stand stably.
[0020] In this embodiment, the cookware is positioned upright by the first support structure r1 and the second support structure r2 of the bracket 2. First, the upright position allows the cookware to be placed upright on the stove when not in use, saving stove space and making the kitchen look neater and more organized, while also making it convenient to access at any time. Second, when the cookware is not in use, it can be arranged upright in the cabinet without stacking, completely eliminating the burden of moving the upper cookware when taking out the lower cookware in the traditional stacking mode. Furthermore, after cooking and tilting, the water on the inner and outer walls of the pot 1, as well as the outer wall, flows naturally downwards in the vertical direction due to gravity, thus effectively draining the water and avoiding the problem of water stains easily formed when the cookware is laid flat, thereby effectively inhibiting bacterial growth and metal oxidation.
[0021] In this embodiment, when the pot body 1 is laid flat, the first support structure r1 is located above the second support structure r2, that is, when laid flat, the two are in a vertically spaced position.
[0022] In this embodiment, the support 2 has a first frame 2a and a second frame 2b. More specifically, the support 2 extends outward from its initial end fixed to the outer wall of the pot body 1 to form the first frame 2a, and then, after bending and further extension, forms the second frame 2b, with the end of the support 2 formed on the second frame 2b. Specifically, the support 2 forms the second support structure r2 at the bend between the first support structure r1 and the second support structure r2, and the end of the support 2 on the second frame 2b forms the first support structure r1. The support 2, formed by bending the first frame 2a and the second frame 2b into an integral rigid frame, naturally forms the second support structure r2 at the bend, which, together with the first support structure r1 at the end, constitutes a dual force transmission path. When the cookware is placed upright, the weight of the cookware body 1 is transmitted step by step through its outer wall, the first frame 2a, the second support structure r2 at the bend, the second frame 2b, and the second support structure r2 at the end, forming a composite load-bearing system similar to a cantilever beam and a triangular support. Compared with the traditional split welded bracket 2, it has better resistance to lateral impact and enables the cookware to maintain better stability when placed upright.
[0023] Furthermore, due to the bending arrangement between the first frame 2a and the second frame 2b of the bracket 2, the bracket 2 presents a hook-shaped structure. Therefore, in addition to being able to stand upright, the cookware in this embodiment can also be hung by the bracket 2, making it more convenient for users and better adaptable to kitchen spaces.
[0024] In this embodiment, the specific structure of the support 2 includes a fixing member 24, two first support rods 21, two second support rods 22, and a third support rod 23. The fixing member 24 is fixed to the outer wall of the pot body 1 and forms the initial end of the support 2. The two first support rods 21 are spaced apart, and their ends are fixedly connected or integrally connected to the fixing member 24. The two second support rods 22 are spaced apart and integrally connected to the ends of the two first support rods 21 respectively. The two ends of the third support rod 23 are integrally connected to the ends of the two second support rods 22 respectively. The spacing direction of the two first support rods 21 is the same as that of the two second support rods 22. The connection between the two first support rods 21 and the two second support rods 22 has a bend structure 25, which forms the second support structure r2. The bend structure 25 has an arc transition to avoid scratching the stove or other placement surfaces. The third support rod 23 forms the first support structure r1, and the second support structure r2 formed by the two bend structures 25 provides support for the upright posture of the pot. In this embodiment, the support 2, by setting the first support rod 21, the second support rod 22 and the third support rod 23, reduces material redundancy while ensuring support rigidity, and the overall structure is simple, enabling a lightweight structural design.
[0025] In this embodiment, the third support rod 23 has a sleeve handle 231 fitted over it. When the pot 1 is placed upright, the part supported by the sleeve handle 231 forms the first support structure r1. Because the third support rod 23 has the sleeve handle 231, making its diameter larger than the second support rod 22, the second support rod 22 can be suspended above the placement surface when the pot is placed upright. Only the sleeve handle 231 and the two angled structures 25 of the support 2 are in contact with the placement surface, thereby improving the stability of the pot's upright posture. The sleeve handle 231 on the third support rod 23 not only serves as the first support structure r1, but also acts as a gripping fulcrum during cooking, facilitating cooking operations such as tossing the pot. Furthermore, the sleeve handle 231 can be made of wood, such as rubberwood.
[0026] In this embodiment, the handle 231 has at least one outwardly protruding support point 232, which provides support for the upright placement of the pot body 1 and forms a first support structure r1. Generally, one or two support points 232 are sufficient. By using the support point 232 and the angled structure 25 as the first support structure r1 and the second support structure r2 respectively, a point support mode is achieved. This minimizes the contact area while optimizing force line transmission to stabilize the upright posture of the pot. The point support mode can adapt to minor unevenness of the placement surface.
[0027] In this embodiment, when the pot body 1 is laid flat, the handle 231 is higher than the rim of the pot body 1, and the two angled structures 25 are lower than the rim of the pot body 1. The positional relationship between the handle 231 and the two angled structures 25 relative to the rim of the pot ensures that when the pot is placed upright, its center of gravity is located between the handle 231 and the angled structures 25, that is, between the first support structure r1 and the second support structure r2, thus providing a stable and reliable upright posture for the pot.
[0028] In this embodiment, the angle formed by the bend structure 25 is an acute angle. The acute angle of the bend structure 25 can shorten the lever arm length of the support 2, reduce the center of gravity offset, and at the same time, the acute angle bend enhances the rigidity of the node, improves the support's resistance to lateral impact, and ensures that the two support points form a stable mechanical triangle when the pot is placed upright, thus suppressing the shaking of the pot body 1.
[0029] In this embodiment, the fastener 24 is a sheet-like structure that is attached to the outer wall of the pot body 1, and the fastener 24 and the pot body 1 are fixedly connected by at least one fastener 26, which may be a rivet.
[0030] In this embodiment, the outer wall of the pot body 1 is fixedly connected to the pot handle 3 at the position relative to the support 2.
[0031] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and not to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that they can still modify the technical solutions recorded in the foregoing embodiments, or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Such modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model.
