A saucepan 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention is described below with reference to the drawings.

Referring to fig. 1-3, a saucepan 100 according to an embodiment of the first aspect of the invention may comprise: a body portion 10 and a partition member 20.

Specifically, as shown in fig. 2 and 3, the main body 10 has a cooking cavity 101 therein, the partition member 20 is provided in the cooking cavity 101, and the partition member 20 partitions the cooking cavity 101 into an air contact area 201, a medium replacement area 202, a liquid passage 203, and a liquid return space 204. In some embodiments, the cooking cavity 101 may be a cavity defined by the pan body portion 11 and the upper cover portion 12 of the body portion 10. The medium replacement area 202 is located at the bottom of the cooking cavity 101, the liquid channel 203 is communicated with the medium replacement area 202 and the air contact area 201, and the liquid return space 204 is used for enabling liquid in the air contact area 201 to flow back to the medium replacement area 202.

Wherein, as shown in fig. 5 and 6, the partition assembly 20 is configured to replace a liquid second medium 300 (fig. 6) located in the medium replacement zone 202 with a gaseous first medium 200 (fig. 6) to enable liquid at the bottom of the cooking chamber 101 to enter the liquid channel 203 and to be sprayed from the outlet 205 of the liquid channel 203 into the air contact zone 201 to substantially contact air in the air contact zone 201. And the partition member 20 is further configured to enter the medium replacement region 202 with the second medium 300 which is outside the medium replacement region 202 and is liquid to occupy at least a portion of the space occupied by the first medium 200, thereby circulating the liquid in the cooking chamber 101 in the medium replacement region 202 and the air contact region 201 and improving the sufficiency of the liquid to air contact. It should be noted that the first medium 200 may be water vapor and the second medium 300 may be water, but the present invention is not limited thereto.

As shown in fig. 5 and 6, the inlet 206 of the liquid channel 203 is higher than the lowest point of the medium replacement region 202, so that the second medium 300 in the medium replacement region 202 can be prevented from being discharged from the lowest point of the medium replacement region 202 to a large extent and not smoothly entering the liquid channel 203, and the inlet 206 is lower than or equal to the highest point of the medium replacement region 202, so that the second medium 300 replaced by the first medium 200 can be smoothly entered into the liquid channel 203, and in the embodiment where the inlet 206 is lower than the highest point of the medium replacement region 202, the first medium 200 is not easily discharged from the liquid channel 203, the pressure in the medium replacement region 202 is increased more easily, the position of the inlet 206 of the liquid channel 203 is reasonable, and the smoothness of the second medium 300 flowing to the air contact region 201 is improved.

Taking the stew pot 100 for stewing soup as an example, the working process of the stew pot 100 is specifically as follows: firstly, a proper amount of water is added into the cooking cavity 101, then the partition assembly 20 is placed into the cooking cavity 101, so that the water level in the cooking cavity 101 is over the medium replacement area 202 and enters the air contact area 201, and then the cleaned food material, such as chicken, is placed into the air contact area 201 (of course, the cleaned food material can also be placed into the medium replacement area 202), as shown in fig. 5, the air contact area 201 is communicated with the cooking cavity 101 through the liquid return space 204, so that the water level in the air contact area 201 is flush with the water level in the cooking cavity 101, and the medium replacement area 202 is filled with water (or can be partially filled with water).

As shown in FIG. 6, as the stewpan 100 begins to heat the cooking chamber 101, when the water in the cooking chamber 101 boils, a large amount of bubbles are generated in the water in the cooking chamber 101, a portion of the bubbles are stored in the medium replacement region 202, so that the pressure in the medium replacement region 202 increases, and the water in the medium replacement region 202 is discharged into the liquid passage 203 through the inlet 206 of the liquid passage 203 under the action of the pressure, and is sprayed into the air contact region 201 through the outlet 205 of the liquid passage 203. The water in the air contact zone 201 enters the liquid return space 204 and then returns to the media displacement zone 202 so that there is always sufficient water in the media displacement zone 202 to be sprayed into the air contact zone 201 through the liquid channels 203 and so circulate.

In the culinary art process, fat in the food material fuses the aquatic and forms hot water, and hot water flows and spouts into air contact area 201 by the low level to the high position under the effect of vapor in, and export 205 spun hot water can fully contact with the air in the air contact area 201, makes the fat in hot water fully contact with the oxygen in the air, is favorable to the fat emulsification, reduces the fat content of hot water, reduces the grease, is favorable to promoting the taste and the nutritive value of hot water. Compare with only surface hot water and air contact among the correlation technique, the utility model discloses a saucepan 100 can show the contact effect who improves hot water and air, is showing the emulsification effect who improves fat.

It should be noted that the outlet 205 of the fluid passage 203 may be above the water level in the air contact zone 201, may be below the water level in the air contact zone 201, or may be level with the water level in the air contact zone 201.

When the outlet 205 of the liquid channel 203 is lower than the water level in the air contact area 201, because the water in the medium replacement area 202 has a certain flow velocity when entering the liquid channel 203, an upward impact effect is generated when entering the air contact area 201, so that the water at the lower part in the air contact area 201 flows to the upper part, so as to improve the contact effect with the air, or the water sprayed from the liquid channel 203 can wash out the upper surface of the water in the air contact area 201 to form a fountain shape, and the sprayed water can directly contact with the air, so that the contact is more sufficient.

In embodiments where the outlet 205 of the liquid channel 203 is level with or above the liquid level of the air contact zone 201, in other words, in embodiments where the outlet 205 of the liquid channel 203 is not below the liquid level of the air contact zone 201, the liquid can form a fountain shape in the air contact zone 201 after being ejected from the outlet 205, and the liquid is not resisted by the liquid in the air contact zone 201 when being ejected, the height of the ejected liquid is higher, so that the area of the ejected liquid capable of contacting the air is larger, and the contact is more sufficient.

The utility model discloses do not do special restriction to the concrete structure of returning liquid space 204, optionally, according to actual conditions needs, return liquid space 204 can be clearance, through-hole or passageway etc. and the liquid that only needs to satisfy air contact zone 201 can be through the requirement that returns liquid space 204 backward flow to medium replacement district 202.

According to the utility model discloses saucepan 100, through separating subassembly 20 and this body portion 10 cooperation, make hot water can spout in air contact area 201, hot water can fully contact with the air, and the fat in hot water fully contacts with the oxygen in the air, is favorable to the fat emulsification, reduces the fat content of hot water, reduces the grease, is favorable to promoting the taste and the nutritive value of hot water.

According to some embodiments of the present invention, as shown in fig. 3, the lower portion of the liquid channel 203 is surrounded by the medium displacement region 202, for example, the lower portion of the liquid channel 203 may extend downward from the middle of the medium displacement region 202. The gaseous first medium 200 can be effectively accumulated in the upper part of the medium replacement area 202, so that the liquid second medium 300 flows downwards in the medium replacement area 202 and then enters the liquid channel 203 from the inlet 206 of the liquid channel 203, and the second medium 300 flows from bottom to top in the medium replacement area 202 to the air contact area 201, so that the second medium 300 is guided. The volume of the media displacement region 202 is larger to facilitate pressure boosting.

Alternatively, in some embodiments, the upper portion of the liquid channel 203 may be surrounded by the air contact zone 201, for example, the upper portion of the liquid channel 203 may extend upward from the middle of the air contact zone 201, so that the second medium 300 may fall into the air contact zone 201 when being ejected from the outlet 205 of the liquid channel 203, and no special treatment is required to be performed on the ejection direction of the outlet 205, thereby avoiding the situation of wasting the second medium 300, and facilitating to simplify the structure of the partition assembly 20.

Further, with continued reference to fig. 3, the liquid channel 203 may extend in a vertical direction to reduce flow resistance of the second medium 300 flowing through the liquid channel 203, so that the second medium 300 enters the air contact zone 201 more smoothly through the liquid channel 203.

Alternatively, in some embodiments, as shown in fig. 3, the liquid channel 203, the air contact zone 201, and the media displacement zone 202 may be arranged coaxially to further reduce the flow resistance of the second medium 300 flowing within the media displacement zone 202, the liquid channel 203, and the air contact zone 201, with the second medium 300 circulating more fully.

According to some embodiments of the present invention, as shown in fig. 3 and 4, the partition assembly 20 may include: the partition portion 21 and the conduction portion 22, the partition portion 21 is connected to the main body portion 10, and here, "connected" is understood in a broad sense, and may be that the partition portion 21 and the main body portion 10 are connected to each other, such as an adhesive, a snap, a fastener connection, etc., or that the partition portion 21 is in contact with the main body portion 10, such as that the partition portion 21 is supported on the main body portion 10.

The partition 21 has a partition bottom wall and a partition peripheral wall, a channel formed by the partition peripheral wall and the main body 10 is a liquid return space 204, and the partition peripheral wall is provided with a liquid return hole 211 for communicating the liquid return space 204 with the air contact region 201. The air contact zone 201 is located above the partition bottom wall and the medium replacement zone 202 is located below the partition bottom wall. For example, in the example shown in fig. 3 and 4, the partition bottom wall cooperates with the bottom wall of the body portion 10 to define a media displacement region 202, and the partition bottom wall cooperates with the partition peripheral wall to define an air contact region 201. The conduction part 22 can penetrate through the bottom wall of the partition part, and the liquid channel 203 is formed in the conduction part 22, so that the partition component 20 is simple in structure.

Further, in some embodiments, the conducting portion 22 may be a conduit that passes through the bottom wall of the partition portion and at least the lower end of which extends such that the lower end of the conduit extends into the medium-displacing region 202. A liquid channel 203 is formed in the conduit. The lower part of the conduit can be provided with an inlet 206, and the upper part of the conduit can be provided with an outlet 205, so that the axial length of the conduit can be shortened, and the cost is reduced. Alternatively, the conduit may be arranged in the middle of the bottom wall of the partition, so that the inlet 206 and the outlet 205 may be far away from the edge of the bottom wall of the partition, and the second medium 300 in the medium replacement region 202 flows to the middle to enter the inlet 206 and is sprayed out from the middle of the air contact region 201, thereby facilitating the second medium 300 to flow in a wider range in the horizontal direction and improving the uniformity of the soup in the cooking cavity 101.

Thus, as shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, the first medium 200 accumulates in the media replacement zone 202 such that the second medium 300 in the media replacement zone 202 enters the conduit through the inlet 206 and flows upward to be ejected into the air contact zone 201 through the outlet 205 of the conduit, substantially contacting the air during ejection. The second medium 300 in the air contact zone 201 flows horizontally and enters the liquid return space 204 through the liquid return holes 211 in the partition peripheral wall, and the second medium 300 in the liquid return space 204 flows downward to return to the medium replacement zone 202. Therefore, the circular flow of the second medium 300 is realized, the contact sufficiency of the second medium 300 and air can be improved, and the second medium 300 in the stewpot 100 can be sufficiently convectively mixed, so that the uniformity of soup is improved, and the taste of the soup is improved.

According to other embodiments of the present invention, as shown in fig. 7 and 8, the partition assembly 20 may include: a partition part 21 and a conduction part 22, wherein the partition part 21 is connected with the body part 10. Here, "connected" is to be understood in a broad sense, and may be that the partition portion 21 and the main body portion 10 are connected to each other, for example, by bonding, clipping, fastening, or the like, or that the partition portion 21 is in contact with the main body portion 10, for example, the partition portion 21 is supported by the main body portion 10.

The partition 21 cooperates with at least a portion of the bottom wall of the main body 10 to form a medium replacement area 202, and an area outside the partition assembly 20 and the medium replacement area 202 is an air contact area in the cooking cavity 101. Alternatively, the liquid returning space 204 may be a through hole provided in the partition portion 21, or a gap spaced between at least a part of the partition portion 21 and the body portion 10. The conduction part 22 can be inserted into the partition part 21, and the liquid channel 203 is formed in the conduction part 22, so that the partition assembly 20 has a simple structure. Alternatively, as shown in fig. 7 and 8, the partition 21 may be a partition plate.

Alternatively, in an embodiment where a through hole is provided on the partition 21 to form the return space 204, the through hole and the liquid passage 203 may be the same through hole. That is, the through hole can be used for both the second medium 300 in the medium replacement region 202 to enter the air contact region 201 and the second medium 300 in the air contact region 201 to return to the medium replacement region 202, and the structure of the partition member 20 is simpler.

Further, in some embodiments, the conducting portion 22 may be a conduit that passes through the separating portion 21 and at least the lower end of which extends out such that the lower end of the conduit extends into the medium-displacing region 202. A liquid channel 203 is formed in the conduit. The lower part of the conduit can be provided with an inlet 206, and the upper part of the conduit can be provided with an outlet 205, so that the axial length of the conduit can be shortened, and the cost is reduced. Alternatively, a conduit may be provided in the middle of the partition 21 so that the inlet 206 and the outlet 205 may be away from the edge of the partition 21, and the second medium 300 in the medium replacement region 202 flows toward the middle to enter the inlet 206 and is sprayed out from the middle of the air contact region 201, facilitating a wider range of flow of the second medium 300 in the horizontal direction, improving the uniformity of the soup in the cooking chamber 101.

Thus, as shown in FIGS. 7 and 8, the first medium 200 accumulates in the media replacement zone 202 such that the second medium 300 in the media replacement zone 202 enters the conduit through the inlet 206 and flows upward to be ejected into the air contact zone 201 through the outlet 205 of the conduit, substantially contacting the air during ejection. The second medium 300 in the air contact zone 201 flows horizontally to the edge of the partition 21 and then flows back down through the liquid return space 204 into the medium replacement zone 202. Therefore, the circular flow of the second medium 300 is realized, the contact sufficiency of the second medium 300 and air can be improved, and the second medium 300 in the stewpot 100 can be sufficiently convectively mixed, so that the uniformity of soup is improved, and the taste of the soup is improved.

In some embodiments, as shown in fig. 3 and 7, the lower side of the partition 21 may be configured as a concave structure 212 with an upward concave middle portion to increase the volume of the medium replacement region 202, and the first medium 200 is less prone to overflow from the medium replacement region 202, facilitating the pressure increase. It is understood that in the example shown in fig. 5 and 6, the lower side of the partition portion 21 refers to the lower surface of the partition portion bottom wall, and in the example shown in fig. 7 and 8, the lower side of the partition portion 21 refers to the lower surface of the partition plate.

The inlet 206 of the conduction part 22 is not higher than the middle of the concave structure 212 and higher than the edge of the concave structure 212. It should be noted that, here, that "the inlet 206 of the conduction part 22 is not higher than the middle of the recessed structure 212" means that the inlet 206 of the conduction part 22 is located below the middle of the recessed structure 212 in the vertical direction, and that "the inlet 206 of the conduction part 22 is higher than the edge of the recessed structure 212" means that the inlet 206 of the conduction part 22 is located above the edge of the recessed structure 212 in the vertical direction.

Therefore, the inlet 206 of the liquid channel 203 is positioned in the medium replacement region 202, the first medium 200 is not easy to enter the liquid channel 203, and is easy to accumulate and increase pressure in the medium replacement region 202, and the second medium 300 in the medium replacement region 202 can smoothly enter the liquid channel 203 and is not easy to flow out from the edge of the partition part 21, which is beneficial to achieving the purpose that the second medium 300 is sprayed into the air contact region 201 from the liquid channel 203.

Alternatively, in some embodiments, the partition part 21 and the conduction part 22 may be integrally formed to simplify the structure of the partition assembly 20, without assembling, simplify the mold design, and facilitate reducing the production cost, and the sealing effect at the connection of the partition part 21 and the conduction part 22 is good, so as to prevent the first medium 200 in the medium replacement region 202 from leaking from the gap between the partition part 21 and the conduction part 22 to affect the circulation effect of the second medium 300. Of course, the partition 21 and the conduction part 22 may be a separate member connected together as the actual situation requires.

According to some embodiments of the present invention, the liquid channel 203 and the liquid return space 204 may be the same channel, that is, the liquid channel 203 may be used as a liquid return channel to simplify the structure of the separation assembly 20 and improve the structural stability of the separation assembly 20. The conducting portion 22, for example the peripheral wall of the conduit, may be provided with a return opening communicating the air contact region 201 and the liquid channel 203, the flow area of the return opening being smaller than the flow area of the inlet 206 of the liquid channel 203, and the flow area of the return opening being smaller than the flow area of the outlet 205 of the liquid channel 203.

Therefore, when the channel in the conduction part 22 is used as the liquid channel 203, the second medium 300 in the medium replacement region 202 enters the liquid channel 203 from the inlet 206 of the liquid channel 203, a small part of the second medium 300 entering the liquid channel 203 directly flows into the air contact region 201 from the return port, and impacts on the soup in the air contact region 201 along the horizontal direction, so that the convection of the soup in the air contact region 201 is improved, and a large part of the second medium 300 entering the liquid channel 203 can be sprayed out from the outlet 205 of the liquid channel 203, so that the second medium 300 is mixed with the soup in the air contact region 201 after contacting with the air as much as possible.

When the passage in the conduction part 22 is used as the liquid return space 204, the soup in the air contact area 201 can flow into the conduction part 22 through the liquid return opening, and then flow downwards into the medium replacement area 202 in the conduction part 22, so that the backflow is realized. Optionally, the backflow port may be disposed adjacent to the bottom wall of the partition portion, so that the soup at the lower portion in the air contact area 201 firstly flows back, and the second medium 300 sprayed from the liquid channel 203 falls into the upper portion of the soup in the air contact area 201, which is beneficial to fully circulating the soup in the air contact area 201 and improving the uniformity of the soup.

According to some embodiments of the present invention, as shown in fig. 5-8, the upper wall of the medium replacement region 202 may be formed in an arc shape with an upward concave middle portion, the liquid channel 203 passes downward through the upper wall of the medium replacement region 202, and the inlet 206 of the liquid channel 203 is higher than the edge of the upper wall, and the inlet 206 is lower than the middle portion of the upper wall. Thus, the volume of the medium replacement region 202 can be increased, the first medium 200 is less likely to be discharged from the liquid channel 203, the first medium 200 is more likely to accumulate and increase pressure in the medium replacement region 202, the second medium 300 is less likely to be discharged from the edge of the upper wall surface, and the second medium 300 enters the liquid channel 203 more smoothly.

For example, when the liquid in the medium replacement region 202 is boiled under different heating powers of the heating elements 30, different amounts of the first medium 200 are generated, which results in different air pressures in the medium replacement region 202 and thus different volumes of the second medium 300 exiting the medium replacement region 202, and the second medium 300 is sprayed into the air contact region 201 from the medium replacement region 202 and returned from the air contact region 201 to the medium replacement region 202 in accordance with the intermittent variation of the heating power, so that the circulation can realize the circulation flow of the second medium 300 in the saucepan 100, and the sufficient contact between the second medium 300 and the air is improved.

Specifically, as the amount of the first medium 200 increases, the first medium 200 displaces the second medium 300 in the medium replacement region 202, so that the second medium 300 in the medium replacement region 202 is sprayed into the air contact region 201 through the liquid channel 203, and the second medium 300 in the air contact region 201 enters the liquid return space 204 to level the air contact region 201 with the liquid level in the liquid return space 204; when the amount of the first medium 200 is decreased, the air pressure in the medium replacement region 202 is decreased, the second medium 300 in the liquid returning space 204 can smoothly flow back to the medium replacement region 202, and the second medium 300 in the air contact region 201 continues to enter the liquid returning space 204. Thus, the amount of the first medium 200 in the medium replacement zone 202 is increased or decreased to achieve a circulating flow of the second medium 300 in the medium replacement zone 202, the liquid channel 203, the air contact zone 201 and the liquid return space 204, and the second medium 300 in the stewpot 100 can be more fully contacted with air.
