Description

Title of invention: A type of pans and pots Technical field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of kitchen utensils, in particular a type of saucepans and pots. Technique of the invention

[0002] The bottom of a pan or pot is designed with a convex structure to achieve an oil accumulation effect. However, the convex portion of the bottom of a pan or pot is prone to rotation when it comes into contact with a tabletop, which affects the stability of the pan or pot. Usually, the degree of convexity of the bottom of a pan or pot can be reduced by thinning the thickness in the center of the bottom wall of the pan or pot or by adding a composite sheet to the bottom wall of the pan or pot, thereby reducing the risk of rotation of the pan or pot when placed on a tabletop.However, the above method still has the problem of significant protrusion of the bottom of the pan or pot after it has been used for a while, and the problem of rotation of the pan or pot when placed on a table top still arises. Content of the invention

[0003] The invention relates to a pan or pot provided with a support part capable of being adjusted in the height direction, reducing the problem of rotation caused by contact between the convex part and the top of a table when the pan or pot is placed on the table and thus improving the service life and safety of use of the pan or pot.

[0004] The invention provides a saucepan or pot, characterized in that the saucepan or pot comprises:

[0005] - a pan or pot body, an external lower wall of which is provided of at least two limiting connection parts: a first limiting connection part and a second limiting connection part;

[0006] - a support, which is connected to the external lower wall of the pan body or pot and includes a body and a rim, the rim being configured to abut and cooperate with the limiting fitting portions to determine the pot or pan in a first state or a second state;

[0007] wherein, when the rim abuts and cooperates with the second limiting connection part, the pan or pot is determined in the second state and has a second height; when the rim abuts and cooperates with the first limiting connection part, the pan or pot is determined in the first state and has a first height, the first height being greater than the second height.

[0008] In one embodiment of the invention, the support is connected to the outer bottom wall of the pot or pan (i.e., an outer side of the bottom). The support is used to abut against a table top so that the bottom of the pot or pan is higher than the table top. At least a portion of the support is capable of deforming and moving along the height direction of the pot or pan body, so that the distance between the end of the support connected to the pot or pan body and the end resting on the table top is adjustable, thereby allowing the distance between the bottom of the pot or pan body and the table top to be adjusted.When the bottom of the pot or pan becomes protruding due to long-term use of the pot or pan body, by means of the deformation and / or movement of the support in the height direction, the size of the support in the height direction can be increased, thereby raising the bottom of the pot or pan body and reducing the rotation problem caused by contact between the convex portion and a tabletop when the pot or pan is placed on the tabletop, thereby improving the service life and safety of use of the pot or pan.

[0009] In one embodiment of the invention, at least one structural part of the support is made of elastically deformable material. Preferably, the rim is made of elastically deformable material.

[0010] In one embodiment of the invention, at least one structural part of the support is elastically deformable, so that the size of the support in the height direction of the pot or pan body can be adjusted by elastic deformation of the at least one structural part of the support. At the same time, the support is used to abut against a tabletop. When made of metal, the support not only has a certain elastic deformation capacity, but also has good wear resistance, thus playing a good role in protecting the pot or pan. In addition, the metal support has good high temperature resistance and is not easily damaged during a cooking process.

[0011] In one embodiment of the present invention, the rim is configured to have a predetermined angle with the height direction of the pot body, and the angle is configured to change under the action of an external force, so that the rim is switched between abutting and fitting with the second limiting fitting part and abutting and fitting with the first limiting fitting part, to adjust the size of the support along the direction of the height of the pan or pot body, thus determining the pan or pot in the first state or the second state.

[0012] In this embodiment, since the rim has a predetermined angle with the height direction of the pot or pan body, when the support is subjected to an external force to cause the rim to approach or move away from the body, the predetermined angle can be changed, so that the size of the support as a whole in the height direction of the pot or pan body changes. More specifically, when the rim of the support approaches the body under the action of an external force, the angle between the rim and the height direction of the pot or pan body decreases, which causes the size of the support to increase in the height direction.At this time, when the bracket is mounted on the pot or pan body, the pot or pan body can be lifted, thereby reducing the risk of rotation caused by contact between the convex portion and a tabletop when the pot or pan is placed on the tabletop. Therefore, in this embodiment, by changing the preset angle, the height of the pot or pan body can be changed, preventing the bottom of the pot or pan body from contacting a tabletop, and improving the reliability of the pot or pan body. At the same time, the bracket has a simple structure and a low production cost.

[0013] In one embodiment of the invention, the body is an annular structure, and the rim is a two-section flange structure extending obliquely substantially along the height direction of the pan or pot body, from inner and outer sides of the body in the radial direction.

[0014] More specifically, the body may have an annular shape, the inner and outer sides of the body along the radial direction are all connected with flanges, and the two flanges all have a predefined angle with the height direction of the pot or pan body. When the support is subjected to an external force, the predefined angles between the two flanges and the height direction of the pot or pan body may be changed, thereby changing the size of the support in the height direction. At this time, the two flanges may all be connected to the pot or pan body, thereby improving the reliability of the connection between the support and the pot or pan body.

[0015] In one embodiment of the invention, the outer bottom wall of the pan or pot body is provided with at least a first limiting connection portion and a second limiting connection portion, and the pan or pot has at least a first state in which the rims can cooperate with the first limiting connection portion, and a second state in which the rims can cooperate with the second limiting connection portion, and the angle between the rim and the height direction of the pan or pot body when the pan or pot is in the first state is different from the angle thereof when the pan or pot is in the second state, so that the size of the support in the height direction of the pan or pot in the first state is greater than its size in the height direction of the pan or pot in the second state.

[0016] In this embodiment, the size of the support in the height direction of the pan or pot body is capable of being changed by making the rim cooperate with the first limiting connection part or the second limiting connection part provided on the outer bottom wall of the pan or pot body.Specifically, when the bottom of the pot or pan body does not protrude or protrudes little, the rim can cooperate / connect with the second limiting connection part, so that the size of the support in the height direction of the pot or pan body is relatively small, that is, the height to which the pot or pan body is lifted is relatively small, and during a cooking process, the distance between the outer bottom wall of the pot or pan body and a cooking utensil is relatively small, which can improve cooking efficiency and at this time, when the pot or pan is placed on a tabletop, the bottom of the pot or pan body does not contact the tabletop, thereby preventing rotation.When the protrusion of the bottom of the pot or pan body increases as a result of prolonged use of the pot or pan, the rim can be made to cooperate / connect with the first limiting connection part, so that the size of the support in the height direction of the pot or pan body is increased, thereby raising the pot or pan body. When the pot or pan is placed on a tabletop, this can prevent the convex part of the bottom of the pot or pan body from contacting the tabletop and causing the pot or pan to rotate, thereby improving the stability and reliability of the pot or pan when in use, so that the convex pot or pan can continue to be used, improving the service life.

[0017] In one embodiment of the invention, the outer bottom wall of the pot or pan body is provided with a first support portion, a second support portion and a third support portion spaced apart from the outside to the inside along the radial direction of the pot or pan body. That is, along the radial direction of the pot or pan body, the second support portion is located between the first support portion and the third support portion, and the first support portion is located at the outer side of the second support portion and the third support portion.

[0018] In the first state, the two ends of the support in the radial direction of the pot or pan body abut respectively against the first support part and the second support part, or the two ends of the support in the radial direction of the pot or pan body abut respectively against the second support part and the third support part, and the first limiting connection part is the first support part and the second support part, or the first limiting connection part is the second support part and the third support part;

[0019] In the second state, the two ends of the support in the radial direction of the pot body abut against the first support part and the third support part respectively, and the second limiting connection part is the first support part and the third support part.

[0020] When the pan or pot swells after being used for a certain time, the support must then change from the second state to the first state.At this time, by applying a radial force to the first flange and / or the second flange, the angle between the first flange and / or the second flange and the height direction of the pot or pan body can be reduced, such that the first flange abuts a side wall of the second support part near the third support part, or such that the second flange abuts a side wall of the second support part near the first support part, thereby reducing the distance between the first flange and the second flange in the radial direction, such that the size of the support in the height direction of the pot or pan body is increased, thereby lifting the pot or pan body and preventing the pot or pan from rotating when placed on a tabletop.Therefore, in this embodiment, the radially adjacent support portions cooperate with the flanges, enabling the pan or pot to be determined in the first state. The support portions separated by another support portion (non-adjacent) in the radial direction cooperate with the flanges, enabling the pan or pot to be determined in the second state. The flanges may cooperate with multiple sets of support portions, thereby realizing adjustment of different heights of the pan or pot, meeting the needs of a user and improving the applicability of the pan or pot. Support portions may be protrusions or a limiting position groove provided at the bottom of the pan or pot body.

[0021] In one embodiment of the invention, the outer bottom wall of the pot or pan body is provided with an annular groove, and the outer and inner walls of the annular groove along the radial direction of the pot or pan body are respectively the first supporting part and the third supporting part. support, the second support part being a projection provided on a lower wall of the annular groove.

[0022] In this embodiment, by providing an annular groove on the outer bottom wall of the pot or pan body such that the two side walls of the annular groove in the radial direction form the above-mentioned first support part and the third support part, it is thus not necessary to separately provide the first support part and the third support part on the outer bottom wall of the pot or pan body, thereby simplifying the processing of the pot or pan body and reducing costs.When the second support part is a protrusion provided on the bottom wall of the annular groove, the side walls of the second support part near the first support part and near the third support part can all be used to abut against a rim, thereby further simplifying the structures of the first limiting fitting part and the second limiting fitting part.

[0023] In one embodiment of the invention, the support comprises a fixed section and at least one telescopic section capable of telescoping relative to the fixed section in the direction of the height of the pan or pot body.

[0024] More specifically, the at least one telescopic section can move in the height direction of the pan or pot, and by means of the movement of the telescopic section, the size of the support in the height direction and consequently the height of the pan or pot can be adjusted. Since the at least one telescopic section can telescope relative to the fixed section, the end surface of one side of the fixed section can abut against the top of a table to support the pan or pot, so that there is some clearance between the outer bottom wall of the pan or pot and the top of the table.

[0025] In one embodiment of the invention, the support is removably connected to the body of the pan or pot.

[0026] Since the support is removably connected to the pan or pot body, the support can be detached from the pan or pot body such that at least a portion of the support moves along the height direction of the pan or pot body and / or at least a portion of the support deforms, thereby allowing the size of the support to be adjusted in the height direction of the pan or pot body easily.

[0027] In one embodiment of the invention, the pot or pan further comprises a connecting piece, the body is provided with a first mounting hole, and the connecting piece passes through the first mounting hole to be removably connected to the pot or pan body; in the height direction of the pan or pot body, the body has a first end surface opposite the pan or pot body, and the first mounting hole is a countersunk hole, such that the connecting piece is flush with the first end surface or is located at the side near the pan or pot body of the first end surface.

[0028] In this embodiment, when the support is damaged, the removable connection between the pot or pan body and the support facilitates the replacement of the support and increases the service life of the pot or pan. At the same time, when the first mounting hole of the body is a countersunk hole, the connecting piece is flush with the first end surface where it is located at the side of the first end surface close to the pot or pan body, which can prevent the connecting piece from protruding from the first end surface and destabilizing the support of the support when it is in contact with a table top, improving the stability and reliability of placing the pot or pan on the table top.

[0029] In one embodiment of the invention, the body is provided with a drainage hole.

[0030] In the above embodiments, the body is provided with a drainage hole. The drainage hole can be used to make liquefied water vapor on the outer wall of the pot or pan body flow out, without remaining between the bottom of the pot or pan body and the support, improving the cleanliness of the pot or pan.

[0063] In a specific embodiment, the invention will be described in more detail below by means of the specific embodiments and in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0064] One embodiment of the invention provides a cooking pot 1. As illustrated in [Fig.l], the cooking pot 1 comprises a cooking pot body 11 and a support 12. The support 12 is located on an outer bottom wall (i.e., at the outer side of the bottom) of the cooking pot body 11 and connected to the outer bottom wall of the cooking pot body 11; wherein, at least a portion of the support 12 can deform and move along the height direction of the cooking pot body 11, so that the size of the support 12 along the height direction of the cooking pot body 11 is adjustable.

[0065] In this embodiment of the invention, the support is connected to the outer bottom wall of the pot body 11. The support 12 is used to abut against a table top so that the bottom of the pot body 11 is higher than the table top. At least a portion of the support 12 is capable of deforming and moving along the height direction of the pot body 11, so that the distance between one end of the support 12 connected to the pot body 11 and another end pressing against the table top is adjustable, thereby allowing the distance between the bottom of the pot body 11 and the table top to be adjusted.When the bottom of the pot body 11 protrudes due to long-term use, by means of the deformation and / or movement of the support 12 in the height direction, the size of the support 12 in the height direction can be increased, thereby raising the bottom of the pot body 11 and reducing the rotation problem caused by contact between the convex portion and the table top when the pot 1 is placed on the table top, thereby improving the service life and safety of use of the pot 1.

[0066] In one embodiment of the invention, the support 12 is removably connected to the pot body 11, which allows the support 12 to be detached from the pot body 11 so that at least a portion of the support 12 deforms and moves. along the height direction of the pot body 11, thereby allowing the size of the holder 12 to be adjusted in the height direction easily.

[0067] More specifically, in a specific embodiment, the support 12 may be a structure a portion of which can move in the height direction of the pot 1. For example, the support 12 may be a telescopic structure, so that the size of the support 12 in the height direction can be adjusted by the telescopic movement of the support 12. In another specific embodiment, the support 12 may be a structure capable of deforming in the height direction, so that the size of the support 12 in the height direction is adjusted by its deformation. In yet another specific embodiment, the support 12 may be a structure that is telescopic in the height direction and a portion of which is elastically deformable, so that the size of the support 12 in the height direction is adjusted by its telescopic movement and deformation.

[0068] In a specific embodiment, when the support is a telescopic structure, the support 12 comprises a fixed section and at least one telescopic section which can telescope relative to the fixed section in the height direction of the pot 1, so that the size of the support 12 in the height direction, and thus the height of the pot 1, can be adjusted by means of the movement of the telescopic section, so that there is some clearance between the outer bottom wall of the pot 1 and the top of a table.

[0069] In another specific embodiment, when the support is deformable, as shown in [Fig. 9], at least a structural part of the support 12 is elastically deformable, so that the size of the support 12 along the height direction of the pot body 11 can be adjusted by means of elastic deformation of the at least one structural part of the support 12. At the same time, the support 12 is used for abutting against a tabletop. When made of metal, the support 12 not only has a certain elastic deformation capability, but also has good wear resistance, thus playing a good role in protecting the pot 1. In addition, the metal support 12 has good high temperature resistance and is not easily damaged during a cooking process.

[0070] The support may be made of a metallic material, such as stainless steel, alloy steel, etc., which has good wear resistance and good deformation capacity. The invention does not limit the material of the support 12.

[0071] In one embodiment of the invention, as illustrated in [Fig.2], [Fig.3] and [Fig.10], the support 12 comprises a body 121 and a rim 122. The body 121 is an annular structure used to abut against a table top and support the pot body 11. The rim 122 is a flange structure extending obliquely substantially in the height direction of the pot body 11, from inner and outer sides of the body 121 in the radial direction, and is used to be connected to the pot body 11. As illustrated in [Fig. 10], a flange 122b is connected to the inner side of the body ring 121, and a flange 122a is connected to the outer side of the body ring 121. There are predefined angles between the two flanges 122a, 122b and the height direction of the pot body 11 respectively. When the support 12 is subjected to an external force, the preset angles between the two flanges 122a, 122b and the height direction of the pot body 11 can all be changed, thereby changing the size of the support 12 in the height direction of the pot body 11, so that the size of the support 12 in the height direction of the pot body 11 can be adjusted.In addition, the two flanges 122a and 122b can all be connected to the pot body 11, thereby improving the connection reliability between the support 12 and the pot body 11.

[0072] The predefined angles between the two flanges 122a, 122b and the height direction of the pot body 11 may be the same or different, that is, the deformation amounts of the two flanges 122a, 122b may be the same or different, so that the angles between the two flanges 122a, 122b and the height direction of the pot body 11 may be changed as needed, further improving the stability and reliability of the pot 1.

[0073] In this embodiment, as illustrated in [Fig.3], the support 12 comprising two flanges 122 has an M-shaped cross-section.

[0074] In this embodiment, since the flanges 122 have predefined angles with the height direction of the pot body 11, when the support 12 is subjected to an external force so that the flanges 122 approach or move away from the body 121, the angles between the flanges 122 and the height direction of the pot body 11 can be changed, thereby allowing the overall size of the support 12 in the height direction of the pot body 11 to change. More specifically, when an extension end of the flanges 122 of the support 12 approaches the body 121 under the action of an external force (i.e., the inclination angle between the flanges 122 and the body 121 is closer to the vertical), the angles between the flanges 122 and the height direction of the pot body 11 decrease, so that the size of the support 12 in the height direction of the pot body increases.At this time, when the support 12 is mounted to the outer side of the bottom of the pot body 11, the pot body 11 can be lifted, reducing the risk of rotation of the pot 1 caused by contact between the convex portion of the bottom of the pot body and the top of a table. On the contrary, when the extension ends of the flanges 122 move away from the body 121 (i.e., the inclination angles between the flanges 122 and the body 121 are further from the vertical), the angles between the flanges . 122 and the height direction of the pot body 11 increases, so that the size of the support 12 in the height direction of the pot body decreases. At this time, when the support 12 is mounted at the outer side of the bottom of the pot body 11, the pot body 11 can be lowered.

[0075] Therefore, in this embodiment, by changing the preset angles, the height of the pot 1 can be changed, preventing the bottom of the pot body 11 from contacting the top of a table, and improving the reliability of the pot 1. At the same time, the support 12 has a simple structure and a low production cost.

[0076] In the above embodiments, as illustrated in [Fig.4] and [Fig.5], the outer bottom wall of the pot body 11 is provided with at least a first limiting connection part and a second limiting connection part, and the pot 1 has at least a first state in which the flange 122 can cooperate with the first limiting connection part, and a second state in which the flange 122 can cooperate with the second limiting connection part, and along the height direction of the pot body 11, the preset angle between the flange 122 and the pot body 11 when the pot 1 is in the first state is different from the preset angle when it is in the second state, so that the size of the support 12 in the height direction of the pot 1 in the first state is larger than its size in the height direction of the pot 1 in the second state.

[0077] In this embodiment, the size of the support 12 in the height direction of the pot body 11 is changed by making the flange 122 cooperate with the first limiting portion or the second limiting connection portion provided on the outer bottom wall of the pot body 11.Specifically, when the bottom of the pot body 11 does not protrude or protrudes little, the flange 122 can cooperate with the second limiting connection part, so that the size of the support 12 in the height direction of the pot body 11 is relatively small, that is, the height to which the pot body 11 is lifted is relatively small, and during a cooking process, the distance between the outer bottom wall of the pot body 11 and a cooking utensil is relatively small, which can improve cooking efficiency and at this time, when the pot 1 is placed on a tabletop, the bottom of the pot body 11 does not contact the tabletop, thereby preventing rotation.When the protrusion of the bottom of the pot body 11 increases as a result of prolonged use of the pot 1, the flange 122 can be made to cooperate with the first limiting fitting part, so that the size of the support 12 in the height direction of the pot body 11 is increased, thereby lifting the pot body 11. When the pot 1 is placed . on the top of a table, this can prevent the convex part of the bottom of the pot body 11 from contacting the table top and causing the pot 1 to rotate, thereby improving the stability and reliability of the pot 1 when in use, so that the convex pot 1 can continue to be used, improving the service life.

[0078] Therefore, in this embodiment, the size of the support 12 in the height direction of the pot body can be adjusted by means of the different limiting cooperations between limiting connection parts at the outer side of the bottom of the pot body and the flange 122 of the support, so that the pot 1 is in different height states, ensuring a certain clearance between the bottom of the pot body 11 and the top of a table and improving the durability and service life of the pot 1.

[0079] In a specific embodiment of the invention, the specific provision of the limiting connection parts to the outer side of the pot bottom is shown in [Fig.4]. The outer bottom wall of the pot body 11 is provided with a first support part 112, a second support part 113 and a third support part 114 spaced apart along the radial direction of the pot body 11. Along the radial direction of the pot body 11, the second support part 113 is located between the first support part 112 and the third support part 114, and the first support part 112 is located at the outer side of the second support part 113 and the third support part 114.In the first state, both ends of both flanges 122 of the support 12 in the radial direction of the pot body 11 abut respectively against the first support part 112 and the second support part 113, or both ends of both flanges 122 of the support 12 in the radial direction of the pot body 11 abut respectively against the second support part 113 and the third support part 114, and the first limiting connection part is the first support part 112 and the second support part 113, or the first limiting connection part is the second support part 113 and the third support part 114.In the second state, the two ends of the two flanges 122 of the support 12 in the radial direction of the pot body 11 abut against the first support part 112 and the third support part 114 respectively, and the second limiting connection part is the first support part 112 and the third support part 114.

[0080] In this embodiment, along the radial direction of the pot body 11, the two flanges 122 of the support 12 are respectively a first flange 122a and a second flange 122b, and along the radial direction of the pot 1, the first flange 122a is located at the outer side of the second flange 122b. When the pot 1 is in the first state, the first flange 122a and the second flange 122b can respectively abut against two radially adjacent support portions. More specifically, the first flange 122a abuts against the first support portion 112, and the second flange 122b abuts against the second support portion 113; or, the first flange 122a abuts against the second support portion 113, and the second flange 122b abuts against the third support portion 114. In this state, since the two support portions abutting the two flanges 122 are adjacent, the distance between them is relatively small, so that the distance between the two flanges 122 is relatively small in this state, the angles between the flanges 122 and the height direction of the pot body 11 are relatively small, and the size of the support 12 in the height direction is relatively large.

[0081] When the pot 1 is in the second state, as illustrated in [Fig. 7], the first flange 122a and the second flange 122b may respectively abut against two radially spaced support portions. More specifically, the first flange 122a abuts against the first support portion 112, and the second flange 122b abuts against the third support portion 114. In this state, since the two support portions abutting the two flanges 122 are spaced (far apart) from each other, the distance between them is relatively large, so that in this state, the distance between the two flanges 122 is relatively large, the angles between the flanges 122 and the height direction of the pot body 11 are relatively large, and the size of the support 12 in the height direction is relatively small.

[0082] When the pot 1 swells after being used for a certain time, the support 12 must be switched from the second state to the first state.At this time, by applying a radial force to the first flange 122a and / or the second flange 122b, the predefined angle between the first flange 122a and / or the second flange 122b and the height direction of the pot body 11 can be reduced, so that the first flange 122a abuts a side wall of the second support part 113 at the side far from the first support part 112, or the second flange 122b abuts a side wall of the second support part 113 at the side near the first support part 112, thereby reducing the radial distance between the first flange 122a and the second flange 122b, so that the size of the support 12 in the height direction of the pot body 11 increases, thereby lifting the pot body 11 and preventing the pot 11 from rotating when placed on the on top of a table.Therefore, in this embodiment, the pot 1 may be limited to the first state by abutting radially adjacent support portions with the flanges 122. Conversely, the pot 1 may be limited to the . second state by making radially spaced support parts cooperate in abutment with the edges 122.

[0083] It can be understood that the flange 122 of the support can cooperate with more sets of support parts, thereby realizing adjustment of more different heights of the pot 1, meeting the needs of a user and improving the adaptability of the pot 1. In addition, a support part at the bottom of the pot body 11 can also have various different shapes. For example, it can be a relief or a limiting groove provided at the bottom of the pot body 11.

[0084] In one embodiment of the invention, as illustrated in Figures 4 and 8, the outer bottom wall of the pot body 11 is provided with an annular groove 115, two side walls of the annular groove 115 along the radial direction of the pot body 11 are respectively the first support portion 112 and the third support portion 114, and the second support portion 113 is a protrusion provided on a bottom wall of the annular groove 115.

[0085] In this embodiment, by providing the annular groove 115 on the outer bottom wall of the pot body 11, the two side walls of the annular groove 115 along the radial direction form the above-mentioned first support portion 112 and third support portion 114, thereby eliminating the need to further provide on the outer bottom wall of the pot body 11 the first support portion 112 and third support portion 114, thereby simplifying the processing of the pot body 11 and reducing the cost.At the same time, when the second support portion 113 is a protrusion provided on the bottom wall of the annular groove 115, the side wall near the first support portion 112 and the side wall near the third support portion 114 of the second support portion 113 can all be used to abut with the flanges 122, thereby further simplifying the structures of the first limiting connection portion and the second limiting connection portion.

[0086] The second support portion 113 may be disposed in the annular groove 115 near the first support portion 112 or near the third support portion 114. The invention does not limit where the second support portion 113 is disposed at the bottom wall of the annular groove 115.

[0087] In a specific embodiment, as illustrated in [Fig. 3] and [Fig. 6], the pot 1 also comprises a connecting piece 111. The body 121 is provided with a first mounting hole 121a. The connecting piece 111 passes through the first mounting hole 121a to be removably connected to the pot body 11. In the height direction of the pot body 11, the body 12 has a first end surface 121c opposite the pot body 11, and the first mounting hole 121a is a countersunk hole, so that the connecting piece 111 is flush with the first end surface 121c where is located at the side near the pot body 11 of the first end surface 121c.

[0088] In this embodiment, when the support 12 is damaged, the removable connection between the pot body 11 and the support 12 facilitates the replacement of the support 12 and increases the service life of the pot 1. At the same time, when the first mounting hole 121a of the body 121 is a countersunk hole, the connecting piece 111 is flush with the first end surface 121c where is located on the near side of the pot body 11 of the first end surface 121c, which can prevent the connecting piece 111 from protruding relative to the first end surface 121c and make the support member 12 unstable when in contact with a tabletop, thereby improving the stability and reliability of placing the pot 1 on the tabletop.

[0089] As illustrated in [Fig.9], the connecting piece 111 consists of a screw, and the body 121 is provided with a plurality of first mounting holes 121a spaced apart from each other. The bottom of the pot body 11 is provided with a plurality of studs spaced apart from each other. The studs are spaced apart by the same distance as the first mounting holes 121a. The studs are fixedly connected to the bottom of the pot body 11. The studs can fit into the first mounting holes 121a. When the bracket 12 is connected to the pot body 11, the screws pass through the first mounting holes 121a and the studs in sequence, making it possible to realize a removable connection between the pot body 11 and the bracket 12.

[0090] In the above embodiments, as illustrated in [Fig.9], the body 121 is provided with a drainage hole 121b. The drainage hole 121b can be used to make water vapor liquefied on the outer wall of the pot body 11 flow out without remaining between the bottom of the pot body 11 and the support 12, thereby improving the cleanliness of the pot 1.

[0091] The body 121 is provided with a plurality of drainage holes 121b spaced apart, and the location of the drainage holes 121b does not coincide with the location of the first mounting holes 121a.

[0092] The above relates only to specific embodiments of the embodiments of the invention, but the scope of protection of the embodiments of the invention is not limited thereto. Any modification or substitution within the technical scope disclosed in the embodiments of the invention shall be included within the scope of protection of the embodiments of the invention. Therefore, the scope of protection of the embodiments of the invention shall be subject to the scope of protection of the claims.
