The present invention particularly relates to a system for pressure cooker by using smart whistle counter for easing up cooking.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
In our daily life, we use pressure cooker as a crucial and important utensil for cooking various stuffs like rice, potatoes, etc. Pressure cooker is an enclosed utensil due to which it is not possible to see the vegetables inside it and the status is thereby estimated by counting the number of whistles. The problem with it is that many times if we are not very attentive towards it, we are unable to have a count of the number of whistles it has already made. This creates a very confusing situation and is very difficult to account also.
WO2017208127A1 Pressure cooker regulator with whistle counter
The above-mentioned prior art is disclosing a mechanical regulator with an inbuilt whistle counter for a pressure cooker. The regulator has two concentric cylinders wherein the inner cylinder is fixed and has opposing saw tooth arrangements on its upper and lower periphery while the outer cylinder termed as dead weight cylinder is rotatable over a pin. The pin moves in a sleeve that has a steam vent. Pressure of steam causes the pin to move up until the steam vent releases steam causing a whistle and the pin drops down. This up and down motion of the pin is transferred to a follower pin through the dead weight cylinder. The follower pin moves over contours formed by the opposing saw tooth arrangements to create a stepped rotary motion that is transferred to the dead weight cylinder and used to count the whistles.
None of the prior art indicate above either alone or in combination with one another disclose what the present invention has disclosed.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
This summary is provided to introduce a selection of concepts, in a simplified format, that are further described in the detailed description of the invention.
This summary is neither intended to identify key or essential inventive concepts of the invention and nor is it intended for determining the scope of the invention.
The present invention provides a simple device consisting of a specifically designed mechanical lock along with a mechanical counter. The objective of the device is to fix its mechanical counter (100) easily beneath the pressure regulator and another end containing a mechanical lock (101) at the top of the pressure regulator (103) which is a place that remains at comparatively lower temperature than other parts of the pressure cooker.
To further clarify advantages and features of the present invention, a more particular description of the invention is rendering by reference to specific embodiments thereof, which is illustrated in the appended drawing.
It is appreciated that the drawing depicts only typical embodiments of the invention and are therefore not to be considered limiting of its scope. The invention is being described and explained with additional specificity and detail with the accompanying drawing.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS
The foregoing detailed description of embodiments is better understood when read in conjunction with the attached drawing. For better understanding, each component is represented by a specific number which is further illustrated as a reference number for the components used with the figures.
Figure 1 represents the basic front view of system of smart whistle counter for Pressure Cooker.
Figure 2 represents the rear view of system of smart whistle counter for Pressure Cooker.
Figure 3 represents the isometric view of system of smart whistle counter for Pressure Cooker.
Further, skilled artisans will appreciate that elements in the drawings are illustrated for simplicity and may not have necessarily been drawn to scale. Furthermore, in terms of the construction of the system, one or more components of the system may have been represented in the drawing by conventional symbols, and the drawing may show only those specific details that are pertinent to understanding the embodiments of the present invention so as not to obscure the drawing with details that will be readily apparent to those of ordinary skill in the art having benefit of the description herein.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
For the purpose of promoting an understanding of the principles of the invention, reference will now be made to the embodiment illustrated in the drawing and specific language will be used to describe the same.
It will nevertheless be understood that no limitation of the scope of the invention is thereby intended, such alterations and further modifications in the illustrated system, and such further applications of the principles of the invention as illustrated therein being contemplated as would normally occur to one skilled in the art to which the invention relates. Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skilled in the art to which this invention belongs.
Embodiments of the present invention will be described below in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.
The present invention provides a simple device consisting of a specifically designed mechanical lock along with a mechanical counter. The objective of the device is to fix its mechanical counter (100) easily beneath the pressure regulator and another end containing a mechanical lock (101) at the top of the pressure regulator (103) which is a place that remains at comparatively lower temperature than other parts of the pressure cooker.
So, whenever a whistle occurs from the pressure cooker, the pressure regulator is pushed upwards due to pressure, as a result the mechanical lock will also be pushed upward along with the pressure regulator which will move the geared arrangement by one position. This will increase the counter by one, each time when the mechanical lock goes up during whistle. A lock guider (104) has also been included to prevent the counter from moving back when the regulator falls back after a few seconds of whistle. The lock guider is freely hinged for the same.
The present value on the counter can be considered as a reference as such, number showing in the counter is equal to number of whistles already blown. The device will be a detachable device that can be fixed as a patch into any pressure cooker’s regulator.
To further clarify advantages and features of the present invention, a more particular description of the invention is rendering by reference to specific embodiments thereof, which is illustrated in the appended drawing.
While, specific language has been used to describe the present invention, any limitations arising on account thereto, are not intended. As would be apparent to a person in the art, various working modifications may be made to the method in order to implement the inventive concept as taught herein.
Those skilled in the art will appreciate that one or more of the described elements may well be combined into a single functional element. Alternatively, certain elements may be split into multiple functional elements. Elements from one embodiment may be added to another embodiment.
ADVANTAGES OF THE INVENTION
The present invention having the following advantages over the prior arts:
1. No. of whistles blown can be checked at any time.
2. No more confusion related to whistles blown during using a pressure cooker.
3. Peace of mind, user can now focus on other things rather than keep counting the number of whistles.
4. Can be used with any existing pressure cooker and pressure regulator.
5. Simplistic low-cost design.

Claims:
1. A System for pressure cooker by using smart whistle counter for easing up cooking, comprising, a pressure regulator (103), a mechanical lock (101), a mechanical counter (100) and a lock guider (104).
2. The system as claimed in claim 1, wherein, the mechanical counter is fixed beneath the pressure regulator and another end containing a mechanical lock at the top of the pressure regulator.
3. The system as claimed in claim 1, wherein, the pressure regulator is pushed upwards due to pressure when whistle occurred, as a result the mechanical lock is pushed upward along with the pressure regulator and move the geared arrangement by one position to increase the counter by one, each time when the mechanical lock goes up during whistle.
