The present invention relates to a cooking utensil equipped with a stirring function. More specifically, the present invention relates to a cooking utensil equipped with a stirring function, and more specifically, to stir various ingredients through a rotating blade when frying or boiling them, thereby preventing the ingredients from burning and allowing them to cook evenly. Not only does it improve convenience, it also allows you to stir ingredients without a lid due to the stand mounted on one side of the container body. In particular, it relates to cooking utensils equipped with a stirring function that greatly improves stability due to the improved joint structure of the stand. will be.

Generally, cooking utensils such as frying pans and pots are used to prepare food by cooking various ingredients, and additional spatulas, stirrers, etc. are used to cook food evenly while preventing it from burning. These cookware include types that cook over direct heat or types that use electricity.

In this way, when cooking food that sticks to the bottom of the container if it is not stirred continuously, the cook must keep an eye on it and stir it using an auxiliary tool such as a stirrer. It is natural that it is inconvenient and causes physical damage. The downside was that fatigue also increased considerably.

To solve this problem, a lid for a cooking container with a stirring function of Korean Patent Registration No. 10-1964554 (announced on April 1, 2019) and Utility Model Registration No. 20-0486475 have been proposed. Referring to this publication, an operating means is provided on the lid, and a rotating shaft with stirring blades is provided within the container, so that the convenience of cooking is improved by stirring the food ingredients while rotating the rotating shaft with the power of the operating means. As the operating means was mounted on the lid, there was a disadvantage that it could not be operated with the lid open. In this case, it was difficult to visually check the state of cooking while being stirred, and it was even more difficult to consume food while being stirred.

To solve this problem, the applicant applied for and received patent registration No. 10-2075069 (announced on February 7, 2020) for a cooking utensil with a stirring function. According to this publication, a frame member is provided that is coupled to a coupling portion provided on one side of the container, and a motor is mounted on this frame member to rotate the rotating member provided inside the container, so that food ingredients can be stirred without a lid. This solves the above-mentioned shortcomings. However, simply fitting the frame member into the coupling portion had the disadvantage of lowering the sense of stability, such as causing shaking during rotation.

Now, in the following, we will look at the detailed configuration and connection relationships of the briefly reviewed components of the present invention.

Figure 2 is a longitudinal cross-sectional view showing a container body according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, and Figure 3 is a longitudinal cross-sectional view showing a container body according to another preferred embodiment of the present invention.

First, referring to FIG. 2, the container body 100 of the present invention has a cooking space 110 open to the top, and a coupling hole 120 is provided on one side thereof. At this time, the coupling hole 120 may be formed directly on one side of the upper edge of the container body 100, and as shown, a handle 130 (container body) provided to hold the container body 100 It may be formed integrally with or may be formed in a detachable manner. In addition, the position of the coupling hole 120 is not limited, as it may be formed on something provided in the form of a long handle 130, such as a frying pan, as shown in FIG. 3.

Subsequently, an upwardly protruding protrusion 140 is formed in the center of the bottom surface of the container body 100, and a discharge hole 150 is formed on one side of the bottom surface for discharging oil to the outside when grilling meat. Of course, the discharge hole 150 is provided with a stopper 160 to block the discharge hole 150 depending on the type of cooking.

Figure 4 is a longitudinal cross-sectional view showing a stand according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, "A" in Figure 5 is an enlarged longitudinal cross-sectional view showing a fixing means according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, and "B" is another It is a longitudinal cross-sectional view showing the fixing means according to an embodiment, and “A” and “B” in Figure 6 are schematic longitudinal cross-sectional views showing the coupling relationship between the stand and the fixing means according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 4, the shape of the stand 200 of the present invention is not limited, but preferably has an approximately “L” shape, in order to be fitted into the coupling hole 120 of the container body 100. A coupling member 210 extending downward is provided on one side, and the other side extends toward the center of the container body 100. A fixing groove 212 is formed in the coupling member 210, and the container body 100 ) The portion extending toward the center is provided with a placing groove 230 for placing the operating member 500, which will be described later, and at the bottom of the placing groove 230, the motor rotation shaft (not shown here) of the operating member 500 is provided. A through hole 232 is formed to allow downward penetration. At this time, it is natural that the center of the through hole 232 and the center of the container body 100 are located on the same vertical line. And, it is obvious that the seating groove 230 can be implemented in various forms depending on the shape of the operating member 500.

Meanwhile, the coupling member 210 is preferably cylindrical and has a width that narrows downward. This is because, if the coupling member 210 is angular, it is not easy to insert if the angles do not match when inserted into the coupling hole 120, making it inconvenient for the elderly to use. Therefore, it is preferable to form it in a cylindrical shape. At this time, if the coupling member 210 is cylindrical, unlike the rectangular shape, there is a disadvantage in that left and right flow occurs after being combined, so it was basically used as a rectangular shape, but in this application, the disadvantage was overcome by preventing flow from occurring through the fixing means 300. It must be recognized as such.

Continuing, referring to "A" in FIG. 5, the fixing means 300 of the present invention is provided on one side of the coupling hole 120 formed in the container body 100 and is inserted into the coupling hole 120. It is provided to automatically fix the coupling member 210 of the stand 200 to prevent the stand 200 from being separated from the coupling hole 120 without permission, thereby maintaining a stable coupling state and improving stability when rotation occurs.

The fixing means 300 is provided on the lower side of the coupling hole 120 and includes a housing 310 in which a slide hole 312 having a support jaw 314 is formed, and a slide hole of the housing 310 ( 312), the rear end is inserted into the fixed rod 320, an inclined surface 322 is formed at the tip of the front end, and a locking protrusion 324 is formed on the inside of the fixed rod 320, the rear end of the fixed rod 320 outside the slide hole 312 A support portion 330 that is coupled to the end of the end to prevent the fixing rod 320 from leaving the slide hole 312 and to hold the fixing rod 320 when it is retracted, and is supported inside the slide hole 312. It is configured to include a spring 340 that provides elastic force between the jaw 314 and the locking jaw 324 of the fixing rod 320.

Continuing, with reference to FIG. 6, the coupling relationship between the stand 200 and the fixing means 300 is as follows.

First, referring to "A", when the coupling member 210 of the stand 200 is inserted downward into the coupling hole 120 provided in the container body 100, the inclined surface formed at the end of the fixing rod 320 ( The end of the coupling member 210 will come into contact with 322) and will soon be pushed back by the inclination of the inclined surface 322. As the coupling member 210 is further inserted, when the fixing groove 212 formed in the coupling member 210 and the fixing rod 320 are positioned on the same horizontal line, the receding fixing rod 320 is moved by the elastic force of the spring 340. As a result, the stand 200 is automatically fixed as it is inserted into the fixing groove 212. That is, when the coupling member 210 of the stand 200 is coupled to the coupling hole 120 and comes into close contact with the inclined surface 322 of the fixing bar 320, the fixing bar 320 retreats and is restored by elastic force. As the stand 200 is inserted into the fixing groove 212 of the coupling member 210, the stand 200 is automatically fixed to maintain a stably coupled state without unauthorized separation.

In this state, if you want to separate the stand 200, hold the support part 330 and pull slightly, the end of the fixing rod 320 will separate from the fixing groove 212, and at this time, the stand 200 can be moved upward.

At this time, an inclined surface 322 is formed at the end of the fixing rod 320. The same effect can be obtained even if this inclined surface 322 is formed on the inserted coupling member 210 rather than on the fixing rod 320. You will have to recognize it.

Meanwhile, the fixing means 300 presented above automatically fixes the coupling member 210, but there may be inconvenience in use when unfastening it manually, so another embodiment of the fixing means 300 is used. I want to solve it.

That is, referring to "B" in FIG. 5, the fixing means 300' according to another embodiment is provided on one side of the coupling hole 120 of the container body 100 and has a slide hole 352 therein. A housing 350 is formed with an inward-facing resting ridge 354 at the end of the slide hole. It is inserted into the housing 350 and is not separated from the resting ridge 354, but a portion of it is outside the slide hole 352. The ball 360 is positioned in an exposed manner, the spring 370 is inserted into the slide hole 352 and elastically supports the ball 360, and is coupled to the slide hole 352 so that the spring 370 does not come off. It is configured to include a cover 380 that prevents it from being used.

If the ball 360 type is implemented instead of the fixing rod 320, the ball 360 is slightly pushed and rotated when the coupling member 210 is inserted, so it does not interfere with the insertion of the coupling member 210, and soon. The ball 360 will be partially inserted into the fixing groove 212 to fix the stand 200. When you want to separate the stand 200, pull the stand 200 upward with a little force, and the ball 360 rotates and separates from the fixing groove 212, making it possible to easily separate the stand 200. . In this way, in another embodiment, the fixing is also implemented so that it can be done automatically.

Figure 7 is a longitudinal cross-sectional view showing a rotating member according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to the drawings, the rotating member 400 of the present invention has a rotating blade 410 for stirring food ingredients formed on one side, an axial hole 420 is formed on the upper surface, and the container body 100 described above is formed on the lower surface. ) A coupling groove 430 to be coupled to the protrusion 140 formed on the bottom surface is formed. At this time, it is preferable that packing is inserted inside the coupling groove 430 to reduce noise or wear generated when rotating.

“A” in FIG. 8 is a longitudinal cross-sectional view showing an operating member according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, and “B” is a vertical cross-sectional view showing the connection relationship of the operating members.

Referring to "A" in FIG. 8, the operating member 500 of the present invention has a motor 520 provided inside a case 510, and a rotation shaft 522 protrudes downward. In addition, a battery is provided inside the case 510 to supply unmarked explanation or operating power, and an operation switch is provided at the top. Since this has been sufficiently mentioned in the prior art, a separate detailed description will be omitted here. This operating member 500 is placed in the resting groove 230 of the stand 200, as shown in "B", and the rotation axis 522 passes through the through hole 232 formed in the bottom of the resting groove 230. It protrudes downward. It is natural that this rotating shaft 522 is coupled to the shaft hole 420 of the rotating member 400 described above to transmit rotating force.

Meanwhile, in the present application, a type in which the operating member 500 is separated from the stand 200 is shown, but the case 510 of the operating member 500 and the stand 200 may be formed integrally. It is suggested that the operating member 500 and the stand 200 be separately constructed and combined because it is advantageous for cleaning, but it should be noted that they may be formed as one piece.

Figure 9 is a longitudinal cross-sectional view showing the use state of a cooking utensil equipped with a stirring function according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to the drawings, a rotating member 400 is mounted on the protrusion 140 provided inside the container body 100 via a coupling groove 430, and a coupling hole provided on one side of the container body 100 ( 120), the stand 200 is mounted via the coupling member 210. At this time, the stand 200 is automatically fixed by the fixing rod 320 of the fixing means 300 provided on the lower side when the coupling member 210 is inserted, as described above. Then, the operating member 500 is placed on the stand 200, and the downwardly protruding rotating shaft 522 is coupled to the shaft hole 420 of the rotating member 400. In this state, when ingredients are put into the cooking space 110 and the operating member 500 is operated, the rotating member 400 rotates to evenly stir the ingredients. In this way, it is natural that by using the stand 200, it is possible to stir the ingredients even without a lid, unlike before, and in particular, due to the new structure for fixing the stand 200, the stand 200 maintains a stable connection state. Furthermore, it improves stability during rotation and thus improves convenience of use.
