Odor, oil, and other contaminant filtration and adsorption device with stirring function (pot)

Abstract

We provide a filter and adsorption device for contaminants and other materials that allows for easy filter replacement and, if durable, can be washed and reused. [Solution] This was achieved with a simple mechanism that includes a filter 6 attached to the pot 1 and lid 2 to filter and adsorb cooking odors and contaminants, and also incorporates a stirring function to reduce the number of times the lid 2 needs to be opened.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to cooking pots and frying pans that are commonly used in daily life, which can reduce contaminants such as oil and odors and keep the indoor environment clean.

Background Art

[0002] During cooking, steam and oil fumes rise from pots, frying pans, etc. Especially in the case of oil, it splashes out strongly with a strong smell, and the windows have to be fully opened or a large-capacity exhaust fan has to be turned on. Even so, it adheres to clothes and indoor walls, etc.

Summary of the Invention

Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0004] Contaminants such as steam and oil fumes cannot be stopped by a simple mechanism

Means for Solving the Problems

[0005] A filter for filtering contaminants such as odors and oil fumes is incorporated into the pot lid or the handle of the pot, and it is filtered with a simple mechanism to prevent leakage. In addition, a stirring function for stirring the ingredients is also provided. The lid may be made of a transparent material so that the inside of the pot can be seen.

Effects of the Invention

[0006] If filters such as woven fabric, non-woven fabric, bead-shaped, or members with bubbles and air passages that can filter and adsorb a large number of connected contaminant components are inserted into the handle and knob so that they can be detached and attached, the filter can be easily replaced, and if it is durable, it can be washed and reused.

Brief Description of the Drawings

[0007] [Figure 1] A perspective view of a pot with a filter installed on its lid. [Figure 2] This diagram shows a lid equipped with a food stirring function. [Figure 3] This diagram shows how the filter is stored. [Best Mode for Carrying Out the Invention]

[0008] It achieves easy operation through the use of inexpensive, general-purpose parts, a minimal number of components, and a simple structure. [Examples]

[0009] Figure 1 is a perspective view of the pot. This consists of a cooking pot 1 and its lid 2. A filter 4 is inserted into a hollow handle 3 with open ends to filter and adsorb odors and oily contaminants. A through hole is made in the center of the lid 2 at the position of the knob, and a hollow cylinder / pipe 5 with open ends is placed on top of it, into which a filter 6 is inserted to filter and adsorb odors and oily contaminants. The handle / knob and filter can be used together. The cross-sectional shape of the cylinder / pipe 5 and handle 3 can be circular, square, or triangular. The shape of the lid 2 may be a convex shape with a raised center (2-1), a flat shape (2-2), or a concave shape (2-3). The cooking pot 1 and the area around the lid 2, excluding the filter surface, should be tightly sealed to prevent leakage of contaminants such as steam and oil fumes. The filter device for cylinder 5 may be installed in a separate location on the lid, or one or more filter devices for handle 3 may be installed in a separate location on the upper side of pot 1.

[0010] Figure 2 is a perspective view of a pot with a food stirring function. Cooking can be done with the lid closed, reducing the number of times the lid needs to be opened, maintaining a high temperature inside the pot, shortening cooking time, and reducing the scattering of food particles. The shaft 8 of the handle 7 is passed through the upper fitting 12, filter 6, and lower fitting 12, and connected to one or more blades 9 installed inside the pot, allowing the handle 7 to be turned... (circled number 1) A bolt 10 may be installed on a part of the shaft 8 to allow adjustment of the height of the blades 9 inside the pan. A rim is attached to the scrap metal fitting 12, placed over the cylinder 5, and the height of the blades inside the pan is adjusted with the anti-rotation nut 11, and then fixed to the shaft 8. The shaft 8 and blades 9 may be fixed with a bolt 13 so that they can be attached and detached. Alternatively, a slip-resistant donut-shaped ring may be fitted onto the shaft 8, and the shaft 8 and ring may be fixed with a screw that is screwed through the ring at the desired position... (circled number 2) This is a plan view of the end piece fittings 12 installed at the top and bottom ends. A through hole 15, slightly larger in diameter than the shaft 8, is drilled in the center of the member 14 that protrudes from the surroundings to hold the shaft 8, and the shaft 8 is passed through it. When the handle 7 is turned, the blades 9 also rotate, allowing the ingredients to be mixed... (circled number 3) If the filter 6 is installed in a different position from the knob 5, and a food stirring function is to be added, a through hole should be made in the knob so that the shaft 8 can be inserted.

[0011] Figure 3 shows a side view of the filter holding method. Areas exposed to heat, including the filter, should be made of heat-resistant material. One or more folded or layered woven or nonwoven fabrics are placed in a tube or container 16 with open ends, and are inserted and removed using the tube 16. A handle 17 is attached for easy insertion and removal. Contains multiple bead-like objects... circled number 2 Multiple layers of woven or non-woven fabric... (circled number 3) Insert and remove as a single filter component... (circled number 4) The filter can be inserted directly into the hollow handle 3, cylinder, and pipe 5. [Industrial applicability]

[0012] This device can be installed and used with any cooking pot. [Explanation of Symbols]
