[0005]

[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of accessories for cooking appliances, and particularly relates to a pot lid that facilitates the discharge of steam.

Background Art

[0002] Cooking appliances such as frying pans, stir-fry pans, and stew pots are extremely common in daily life. In China, these basic cooking tools are provided in almost every household kitchen. During the cooking process, a pot lid is usually required to prevent the soup or cooking oil in the pot from splashing onto the stove. However, many existing pot lids are designed to be airtight. Although this has a certain effect in effectively preventing the splashing of oil and the loss of moisture in food, it also causes some inconveniences.

[0003] First, an airtight pot lid is not suitable for automatically discharging the hot air and steam in the pot. During the cooking process, especially when boiling or stewing, steam is generated in the pot. If this is not discharged promptly, these steam will accumulate in the pot, causing the humidity in the pot to become excessively high and affecting the texture of the food.

[0004] Second, when there is a lot of steam in the pot, the user needs to manually open the pot lid to exhaust the air. This not only increases the complexity of the operation but also poses a risk of burns. Especially in the case of high-temperature cooking, hot steam is released instantly when the pot lid is opened, which may cause injury to the hands or face. Furthermore, the manual exhaust method is prone to delays in the exhaust timing and cannot effectively control the amount of steam in the pot, thus further affecting the cooking effect.

[Brief explanation of the drawing]

[0018] [Figure 1] This is a perspective view showing the structure of the pot lid. [Figure 2] This is an exploded view of a pot lid. [Figure 3] This diagram shows the structure of the rotating disc, the fixed plate, and the limiting member. [Figure 4]This diagram shows the structure of the oblique cross-section of a pot lid. [Modes for carrying out the invention]

[0019] To further clarify the purpose, technical aspects, and advantages of this invention, the invention will be described in more detail below, in combination with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are for interpretation purposes only and do not limit the invention.

[0020] As shown in Figures 1 to 4, this embodiment provides a pot lid that facilitates steam discharge, and comprises a pot lid body 1, a rotating disc 2, and a fixing plate 3. The pot lid body 1 has mounting through holes 11, and the fixing plate 3 and the rotating disc 2 are installed on the mounting through holes 11 in order from bottom to top, with the fixing plate 3 fixedly connected to the pot lid body 1 and the rotating disc 2 rotatably connected to the pot lid body 1. The rotating disc 2 has a first exhaust hole 21, and the fixing plate 3 has a second exhaust hole 31, the second exhaust hole 31 is located directly below the rotational trajectory of the first exhaust hole 21.

[0021] In this embodiment, by opening a mounting through hole 11 in the pot lid body 1 and attaching the rotating disk 2 and the fixing plate 3, it is possible to avoid the pot lid body 1 from becoming a complete sealed structure, and the steam is discharged from the holes formed in the fixing plate 3 and the rotating disk 2. The rotating disk 2 is rotatable relative to the fixing plate 3, and the positions of the first exhaust hole 21 and the second exhaust hole 31 can be made to correspond vertically or shifted relative to each other during rotation. When exhaust is not required, by shifting the first exhaust hole 21 and the second exhaust hole 31 by rotation, the steam will not be directly discharged. When exhaust is required, by making the positions of the first exhaust hole 21 and the second exhaust hole 31 correspond by rotation, the steam in the pot will automatically pass through the second exhaust hole 31 and the first exhaust hole 21 and be discharged. As a result, there is no need to manually open the pot lid for exhaust, making it more convenient to use. At the same time, compared with the conventional pot lid that vents by shifting the lid, the exhaust through the first exhaust hole 21 and the second exhaust hole 31 of the present invention is more uniform, and the temperature and heat in the pot can be better controlled, and the texture of the food during cooking can be improved by avoiding overheating or overcooling of the food.

[0022] Furthermore, the first exhaust hole 21 is a semi-circular hole, and the fixing plate 3 is provided with a steam discharge area 32 corresponding to the shape of the semi-circular hole. A plurality of second exhaust holes 31 are provided, and the plurality of second exhaust holes 31 are uniformly distributed within the steam discharge area 32. During use, the discharge speed of the steam can be controlled by selecting whether to completely align or partially align the semi-circular hole with the steam discharge area 32.

[0023] Furthermore, a limiting member 4 is further attached to the pot lid body 1. The limiting member 4 is provided with a circular rotation guide track 41. At the bottom of the rotating disk 2, a rotation support leg 22 that is rotatably connected within the rotation guide track 41 is provided.

[0024] Furthermore, the limiting member 4 is installed between the rotating disk 2 and the fixing plate 3, and a relief hole is formed in the limiting member 4 to avoid the steam discharge area 32. This facilitates the communication between the first exhaust hole 21 and the second exhaust hole 31.

[0025] Furthermore, a knob protrusion 23 is further installed on the top of the rotating disk 2, and the user can grasp the knob protrusion 23 to rotate the rotating disk 2, which is convenient for the rotation operation from the top.

[0026] Furthermore, a third exhaust hole 12 is further installed on the lid body 1, and the area of the third exhaust hole 12 is smaller than the area of the first exhaust hole 21. The third exhaust hole 12 is a small hole. During normal use, exhaust is carried out through the third exhaust hole 12. When there is a lot of water vapor in the pot, the first exhaust hole 21 is opened by a rotation operation, and exhaust is carried out through the first exhaust hole 21 and the second exhaust hole 31.

[0027] Furthermore, the rotating disk 2, the limiting member 4, and the fixing plate 3 are all installed on the outer surface of the lid body 1, which is convenient for controlling the opening and closing of the first exhaust hole 21 from the outside of the lid body 1.

[0028] Furthermore, a stainless steel mesh plate 5 is installed on the inner surface of the lid body 1, and the stainless steel mesh plate 5 is provided with mesh holes. The stainless steel mesh plate 5 can reduce the scattering of cooking oil in the pot and keep the area around the stove cleaner.

[0029] Furthermore, the lid further includes mounting bolts 6. Connecting holes 7 are respectively formed at corresponding positions on the rotating disk 2, the limiting member 4, the fixing plate 3, and the stainless steel mesh plate 5. The mounting bolts 6 penetrate through the connecting holes 7 to connect the rotating disk 2, the limiting member 4, the fixing plate 3, and the stainless steel mesh plate 5. The rotating disk 2 is connected to the mounting bolts 6 through the connecting holes 7 in a relatively rotatable manner, and the limiting member 4, the fixing plate 3, and the stainless steel mesh plate 5 are fixedly connected to the mounting bolts 6 through the connecting holes 7. The upper surface of the mounting bolts 6 is a smooth surface, which is used for installing the rotating disk 2, the limiting member 4, the fixing plate 3, and the stainless steel mesh plate 5. Threads are provided on the lower surface to be connected to nuts 8. By tightening the nuts 8, the tightness between these parts can be adjusted, ensuring reliable fixation while allowing the rotating disk 2 to rotate flexibly.

[0030] Furthermore, it is equipped with a handle 9, which is fixed to the pot lid body 1 by a screw.
