[0003]

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of kitchen utensils, and particularly relates to a microwave oven, an electromagnetic cooker, an oven, and a four-purpose circular pot compatible with direct fire.

Background Art

[0002] In the prior art, the design of kitchen stoves is usually carried out according to the nature and size of the house. Generally, only pots within the permitted range are placed in the kitchen. When it is necessary to add other stoves or cooktops, it is also necessary to place pots suitable for them. For example, in the case of an electromagnetic cooker, a pot with a ferromagnetic bottom material must be placed so that it can be applied to the electromagnetic cooker. In the case of a microwave oven, it is necessary to use a non-metallic or special composite material to avoid arc discharge or energy reflection. In the case of an oven or direct fire (e.g., gas cooktop), different requirements are imposed on the heat resistance and structural strength of the material of the pot body. Therefore, in daily cooking, users often need to place a plurality of different pots to adapt to different cooking appliances, occupying a large amount of kitchen space, having high limitations, and increasing the purchase and maintenance costs. Although some "two-purpose" or "three-purpose" pots are provided in the market, most of their structures are fixed designs, making it difficult to balance the differentiated requirements for the material performance and safety of various heat sources. In particular, there are obvious technical barriers in the shared scenario of microwave and direct fire.

[0003] In recent years, attempts have been made to improve the versatility of pots by using composite materials or modular structures, but many means cannot effectively solve the contradictions among heat conduction efficiency, material compatibility, and detachable convenience. For example, some pots integrated with a silicone layer can be adapted to microwave ovens and electromagnetic cookers, but since silicone cannot withstand high temperatures, it cannot be used in ovens or direct fire. Conversely, conventional metal pots can be applied to direct fire and ovens, but they cannot be safely used in microwave ovens.

[0004] Therefore, in order to overcome conventional technological limitations and meet the demand for highly efficient and integrated kitchenware in modern households, there is a need for a multi-functional pot that is structurally rational, safe, reliable, and capable of substantially achieving four uses: microwave, induction cooktop, oven, and direct flame. [Overview of the project]

[0005] The objective of this invention is to solve the problems described in the background art by providing a four-purpose circular pot that is compatible with microwave ovens, induction cookers, ovens, and direct flame cooking.

[0006] This invention is achieved as follows: A four-purpose circular pot, including the pot body, is compatible with microwave ovens, induction cookers, ovens, and direct flames. A heat-conductive silicone sheet is removably attached to the bottom of the pot body, and by assembling or removing the heat-conductive silicone sheet, the pot body can be adapted to four heating methods: microwave ovens, induction cookers, ovens, and direct flames.

[0007] In a further technical means, a pot lid is fitted to the open end of the top of the pot body, and a lid handle is provided on the pot lid.

[0008] In a further technical means, handles are provided on both sides of the pot body.

[0009] In a further technical means, a plurality of support legs are provided on the bottom of the pot body so as to be distributed in the circumferential direction.

[0010] In a further technical means, the thermally conductive silicone sheet is used to absorb microwaves and generate high temperatures.

[0011] In a further technical means, the temperature resistance range of the thermally conductive silicone sheet is -40°C to 230°C.

[0012] In a further technical means, the thermally conductive silicone sheet is pressed and attached in the axial direction, and when the pot body is lifted, the thermally conductive silicone sheet automatically falls off due to the action of gravity.

[0013] The four-purpose circular pot provided by this invention, which is compatible with microwave ovens, induction cookers, ovens, and direct flames, has the following beneficial effects.

[0014] This invention achieves flexible adaptation of the same pot to four heating methods—induction cooktops, microwave ovens, ovens, and direct flame—through a removable design of a heat-conductive silicone sheet and pot body. It ensures safety and efficiency when used in different heating modes, significantly improving the product's versatility. Users do not need to purchase multiple pots, effectively saving kitchen space and usage costs, and combining convenient storage, economic practicality, high efficiency, and multifunctionality. At the same time, its design, tailored to the nature of modern homes, solves the limitation of having to select an accessory pot for a specific stove in home cooking, apartments, and outdoor campervans, greatly improving people's pursuit of quality of life. One pot has many uses, contributing to environmental protection, energy saving, and low consumption.

[0015] As described above, this invention, with its removable heat-conductive silicone design, supports four heating methods—induction cooktop, microwave oven, oven, and direct flame—in a single pot, combining multi-functionality, space-saving design, low cost, and high practicality. [Brief explanation of the drawing]

[0016] [Figure 1] This is a schematic diagram of the overall structure of a four-purpose circular pot compatible with microwave ovens, induction cookers, ovens, and direct flame cooking, according to an embodiment of the present invention. [Figure 2] Figure 1 is a schematic diagram of the structure as seen from the bottom side. [Figure 3] This is a perspective view of a four-purpose circular pot compatible with microwave ovens, induction cookers, ovens, and direct flame cooking, according to an embodiment of the present invention. [Modes for carrying out the invention]

[0017] To further clarify the purpose, technical means, and advantages of this invention, the invention will be described in more detail below with reference to the drawings and embodiments. The specific embodiments described herein are for illustrative purposes only and do not limit the invention.

[0018] The specific implementation of this invention will be described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments.

[0019] As shown in Figures 1 to 3, an embodiment of the present invention, including a pot body 1, is a four-purpose circular pot compatible with microwave ovens, induction cookers, ovens, and direct flames. A heat-conductive silicone sheet 6 is detachably attached to the bottom of the pot body 1. The heat-conductive silicone sheet 6 is used to absorb microwaves generated by a microwave oven and generate high temperatures, and can also sense magnetic fields generated by an induction cooker and generate high temperatures. It can be flexibly assembled or separated according to different heating methods, that is, by assembling or removing the heat-conductive silicone sheet 6, the pot body 1 can be adapted to four heating methods: microwave oven, induction cooker, oven, and direct flame.

[0020] Specifically, it is as follows:

[0021] 1) When used for heating in a microwave oven or induction cooker, the heat-conductive silicone sheet 6 must be attached to the pot body 1. The heat-conductive silicone sheet 6 is used to absorb microwaves generated by the microwave oven and generate high temperatures, and also senses the magnetic field generated by the induction cooker to generate high temperatures, achieving efficient and uniform heat conduction and ensuring normal cooking function.

[0022] 2) When used for heating in an oven or direct fire (e.g., gas stove), the heat-conductive silicone sheet 6 is removed from the pot body 1, and cooking is performed only with the pot body 1 to avoid damage to the silicone in a high-temperature environment (avoid the risk of silicone carbonization), and at the same time, the applicable scenes of the pot body 1 can be extended.

[0023] This design maintains the two-in-one function of the existing electromagnetic cooker / microwave oven, and further achieves the independent use of the pot body 1 in an oven and direct-fire environment, significantly improving the versatility and adaptability of the product. Users do not need to place multiple pots on different stoves, saving kitchen storage space, reducing usage costs, and combining practicality, economy and convenience.

[0024] Also, the detachable structure of the heat-conductive silicone sheet 6 does not affect its original performance in the microwave oven and electromagnetic cooker modes, and all previously designed functions can be completely retained and operate stably.

[0025] In one embodiment, a pot lid 2 is engaged with the open end at the top of the pot body 1, and a lid handle 4 is provided on the pot lid 2.

[0026] Handles 3 are provided on both sides of the pot body 1, and a plurality of support legs 5 are provided at the bottom of the pot body 1 so as to be distributed in the circumferential direction.

[0027] In a preferred embodiment, the temperature resistance range of the heat-conductive silicone sheet 6 is -40°C to 230°C.

[0028] When attaching the heat-conductive silicone sheet 6, it can be attached by pressing it axially, and when removing it, it can be automatically detached by lifting the pot body 1, requiring no tools and being easy to operate. This structure acts as a microwave energy buffer and heat-distributing medium in microwave ovens, preventing localized overheating of the pot body 1. When switching to oven or direct flame mode, the risk of silicone carbonization can be completely avoided by removing the heat-conductive silicone sheet 6, allowing the pot body 1 to directly withstand the heat source.

[0029] The above-described embodiment of the present invention provides a four-purpose circular pot compatible with microwave ovens, induction cookers, ovens, and direct flames. The removable design of the heat-conductive silicone sheet 6 and the pot body 1 enables flexible adaptation of the same pot to four heating methods: induction cookers, microwave ovens, ovens, and direct flames. This ensures safety and efficiency when used in different heating modes, significantly improving the versatility of the product. Users do not need to purchase multiple pots, effectively saving kitchen space and usage costs, and combining the beneficial effects of convenient storage, economic practicality, high efficiency, and multifunctionality.

[0030] The technical features in the embodiments described above may be combined in any way, and for the sake of convenience, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the embodiments described above have been described. However, as long as these combinations of technical features are inconsistent, they should be considered to fall within the scope described herein.

[0031] The embodiments described above are merely examples of some forms of the present invention, and although the description is specific and detailed, it does not limit the scope of the patent for this invention. Furthermore, those skilled in the art may make several modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of the present invention, and all of these fall within the scope of protection of this invention. Therefore, the scope of protection for this invention should be based on the attached claims. [Explanation of Symbols]
