FIELD OF THE DISCLOSURE

The present disclosure relates to a titanium cookware and a method of manufacturing the same, and more particularly to an anti-stick titanium cookware and a method of manufacturing the same.

BACKGROUND OF THE DISCLOSURE

Modern people pursue health, so the pots and utensils used to prepare food or the tableware for holding food are required to be non-toxic and zero-pollution. Due to the characteristics of light weight, high temperature resistance, corrosion resistance and low heat conduction of titanium metal, more and more pots and pans are gradually made of titanium metal.

The physical characteristics of titanium metal are light weight and high strength, so titanium metal pans have the advantage of light weight. However, although the thermal conductivity of titanium metal is close to that of steel, titanium metal has the characteristics of fast heat dissipation due to its low specific heat capacity. In addition, titanium metal tableware is mostly made of titanium metal sheets, so titanium metal cannot store heat, and the temperature of the part of the titanium metal pan that contacts the heating source is extremely easy to rise, but the part of the titanium pan that is not in contact with the heating source is easy to cool down quickly. Therefore, the heat energy is concentrated on the part of the titanium metal pan contacting the heat source, and the heat of the titanium metal pan not in contact with the heat source is insufficient. As a result, the ingredients that come into contact with the heat-concentrated position of the titanium metal pan are easily overheated and burnt, while the ingredients that are in contact with the low-temperature position of the titanium metal pan are likely to be undercooked, or even unable to be cooked.

In the related art, a part of the titanium metal pan is combined with a heat-conducting metal layer by using a titanium metal pan, and the heat conduction through the heat-conducting metal layer makes the heating of the titanium metal pan even. However, due to the metallic nature of titanium, intermetallic compounds will form brittle phases at the interface when titanium is connected with other types of metals, and titanium is prone to welding stress, so the weld is prone to cracks or even breakage, and titanium metal cannot be welded with dissimilar metals. Therefore, in order to provide a heat-conducting layer on the titanium pan, only riveting or other non-welding means can be used to combine the heat-conducting metal layer and the titanium pan.

However, due to the different thermal expansion coefficients of the heat-conducting metal layer and titanium metal, the heat-conducting metal layer and the titanium metal pan will deform in different magnitudes due to stress under long-term use. As a result, gaps are formed on the joint surface of the heat-conducting metal layer and the titanium metal pot to form uneven contact, so the thermal conductivity is reduced, and the temperature distribution of the pot is also uneven.

In addition, the surface of titanium metal will be oxidized to form an oxide film when placed in air. However, the thickness of the oxide film naturally generated by titanium metal is usually only a few angstroms (Å), and the crystallization form is a polycrystalline titanium oxide layer, so the surface of titanium metal is matte and easy to stick to. Therefore, when using a titanium metal pan to cook food in a frying manner, sticking will easily occur.

In order to overcome the sticking problem of titanium pots, some products on the market will additionally install an anti-sticking coating on the surface of the titanium pot. However, the coating will be easily peeled off, and the risk that the coating material will peel off and be eaten by the user along with the food is increased.

Due to the above factors, the existing titanium pans are quite inconvenient to use and difficult to manufacture. Therefore, how to overcome the above-mentioned defects through the improvement of structural design has become one of the important issues to be solved.

First Embodiment

Referring to FIG. 1 to FIG. 5, a first embodiment of the present disclosure provides an anti-stick titanium cookware (such as pot or pan, or pots and pans) and a manufacturing method thereof. For the sake of explanation, this specification will first introduce the structure of the anti-stick titanium cookware 1, and then introduce the manufacturing method of the anti-stick titanium cookware 1.

As shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, the anti-stick titanium cookware 1 of the present disclosure includes a titanium cookware body 10, a titanium cladding element 20 (such as a covering element, or a coating element), a heat-conducting element 30, and an anti-stick layer 40 (or an anti-adhesion layer) formed on the surface of the titanium cookware body 10. In addition, the titanium cookware body 10 is made of a titanium plate body 11, the titanium cookware body 10 has an upper surface 111 and a lower surface 112 opposite to each other, and an accommodating space 12 shaped as a concave shape is formed on, above or from the upper surface 111. In this embodiment, the thickness of the titanium plate body 11 is between 0.3 mm and 3 mm.

The titanium cookware body 10 has a bottom portion 14, and a side portion 15 connected to the outer periphery of the bottom portion 14, the side portion 15 is bent toward (relative to) the upper surface 111, so that the side portion 15 can be connected to the bottom portion 14 to form the accommodating space 12. More particularly, the heat-conducting element 30 contacts the lower surface 112 on the bottom portion 14 of the titanium cookware body 10, and the area of the heat-conducting element 30 is not less than 30% of the area of the bottom portion 14 of the titanium cookware body 10. In this embodiment, the titanium cookware body 10 is a pan, so that the bottom portion 14 is flat, and a handle 13 can be provided and disposed on one side portion of the titanium cookware body 10 to facilitate the user to hold it. However, the present disclosure is not limited thereto. For example, the bottom portion 14 of the titanium cookware body 10 may be in a concave arc shape or other curved surface shapes, and the cross-sectional shape of the side portion 15 may also be a wavy shape, a line shape, or other shape.

The titanium cladding element 20 is disposed on the lower surface 112 of the bottom portion 14 of the titanium cookware body 10. The titanium cladding element 20 is also made of a titanium plate body. The titanium cladding element 20 has a central portion 21 and an outer surrounding portion 22 surrounding the outer periphery of the central portion 21. As shown in FIG. 2 and FIG. 3, the central portion 21 can be a planar plate or a curved plate that is shaped to fit the bottom portion 14 of the titanium cookware body 10, and the outer surrounding portion 22 is a flange portion bent from the outer peripheral edge of the central portion 21.

The titanium cladding element 20 is welded to the lower surface of the bottom portion 14 of the titanium cookware body 10 by welding the outer peripheral edge of the outer surrounding portion 22 to the lower surface of the bottom portion 14 of the titanium cookware body 10, so that the titanium cladding element 20 is fixed on the lower surface of the titanium cookware body 10. As shown in FIG. 2, there is a height difference between the outer peripheral edge of the outer surrounding portion 22 and the outer peripheral edge of the central portion 21, and the central portion 21 is separate from the lower surface of the bottom portion 14 by a predetermined distance, so that an interlayer space 23 (or a mezzanine space, or a sandwich space) can be formed. After the titanium cladding element 20 is welded, the outer peripheral edge of the outer surrounding portion 22 and the lower surface 112 of the titanium cookware body 10 are completely sealed, so that the interlayer space 23 is formed as an airtight space (or a sealed space, or an enclosed space).

In more detail, the titanium cladding element 20 of the present disclosure can be welded together by means of high-frequency welding, and in order to improve the welding quality, the titanium cladding part 20 is made of a titanium plate body made of the same material as the titanium plate body 11, so that the welding temperature of the titanium cladding element 20 and the titanium cookware body 10 can be consistent so as to avoid welding defects.

The heat-conducting element 30 is received in the interlayer space 23, and the heat-conducting element 30 is disposed on the lower surface 112 of the titanium cookware body 10 through the titanium cladding element 20. The heat-conducting element 30 is a plate with a uniform thickness, and the contour shape of the heat-conducting element 30 in the direction of the orthographic projection of the titanium cookware body 10 matches with or corresponds to the contour shape of the central portion 21 of the titanium cladding element 20, so that the contour shape of the heat-conducting element 30 can match with or correspond to the contour shape of the interlayer space 23 on the bottom portion surface of the titanium cookware body 10, and the thickness of the heat-conducting element 30 can match the height of the interlayer space 23. In addition, the heat-conducting element 30 has a curvature matching with the lower surface 112 of the bottom portion 14 of the titanium cookware body 10 and the central portion 21 of the titanium cladding element 20, so that the heat-conducting element 30 can be accommodated in the interlayer space 23, and the top surface of the heat-conducting element 30 is in contact with the lower surface 112 of the titanium cookware body 10.

The heat-conducting element 30 has at least one the heat-conducting material layer 31, and the heat-conducting material layer 31 can be made of a material with a thermal conductivity higher than 100 W/m·K. For example, the heat-conducting material layer 31 can be made of a metal (such as a copper plate or an aluminum plate) with good thermal conductivity. However, the heat-conducting material layer 31 of the present disclosure is not limited to be made of a thermal conductive metal, and in other feasible embodiments of the present disclosure, the heat-conducting material layer 31 can be made of non-metallic materials or composite materials with good thermal conductivity. For example, the heat-conducting material layer 31 can be made of graphite, or high thermal conductive ceramic materials such as alumina, zirconia, silicon carbide, and boron nitride.

In this embodiment, the heat-conducting element 30 further includes two supporting material layers 32, the supporting material layers 32 are boards each having the same profile shape as the heat-conducting material layer 31, and the supporting material layers 32 are attached to the two opposite sides of the heat-conducting material layer 31. The two supporting material layers 32 can be made of iron, steel, or stainless steel plates, and an annular side portion 33 continuously surrounds the two outer peripheral edges of the two supporting material layers 32 through welding means, so that the two outer peripheral edges of the two supporting material layers 32 are connected together, and the heat-conducting material layer 31 is sealed between the two supporting material layers 32.

In particular, in this embodiment, since the heat-conducting material layer 31 of the heat-conducting element 30 is sealed between the two supporting material layers 32 and the annular side portion 33, when the heat-conducting material layer 31 is made of low-melting-point metals such as copper or aluminum, and when the temperature of the heat-conducting material layer 31 exceeds the melting point during the welding process of the titanium cookware body 10 and the titanium cladding element 20, the flow of the heat-conducting material layer 31 can be restricted through the two supporting material layers 32 and the annular side portion 33, so that the heat-conducting element 30 can maintain the shape of the plate body. In addition, since the supporting material layer 32 has magnetic permeability, it can induce eddy current with the magnetic field of the induction cooker, so that the anti-stick titanium cookware 1 can be used on the induction cooker.

As shown in FIG. 2, the anti-stick layer 40 is at least formed on the upper surface of the titanium cookware body 10 of the present disclosure. The anti-stick layer 40 is a titanium oxide film formed on the upper surface 111 of the titanium cookware body 10 through thermal oxidation, and the anti-stick layer 40 is a titanium oxide film with a thickness greater than 3 micrometers (µm). More specifically, by means of thermal oxidation or plasma oxidation, the surface of the titanium cookware body 10 is in contact with oxygen atoms, nitrogen atoms or other working gas atoms, and the titanium atoms react with oxygen atoms or nitrogen atoms, whereby the anti-stick layer 40 can be formed on the surface of the titanium cookware body 10. The anti-stick layer 40 can be titanium oxides such as titanium oxide (TiOx), titanium nitride (TiN), or titanium oxynitride (TiNxOy).

In particular, in a preferred embodiment of the present disclosure, the titanium plate body 11 of the titanium cookware body 10 is oxidized in the state of α phase, so that the titanium atoms and oxygen atoms or nitrogen atoms on the surface of the titanium plate body 11 can react to form a titanium oxide film with a rutile crystal form. Since the titanium oxide film in the rutile crystal form has the characteristics of dense texture, high hardness, and non-toxicity, the upper surface 111 of the titanium cookware body 10 is changed or modified from the original metal surface to a ceramic titanium oxide film surface, thus forming an anti-stick surface, the surface hardness of the upper surface 111 of the titanium cookware body 10 is improved so that it is not easy to wear, and is not easy to be oxidized and corroded, and will not release toxicity. In addition, since the titanium oxide film can be closely bonded to the titanium atoms on the surface of the titanium cookware body 10, the anti-stick layer 40 is not easy to peel off, and can be used for a long time without damage.

The following introduces the manufacturing method of the anti-stick titanium cookware 1 of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG. 4, the manufacturing method S1 of the present disclosure includes: a titanium cookware body preparation step S10, a cladding element preparation step S20, a heat-conducting element preparation step S30, an anti-stick layer forming step S40, a cleaning step S50, and an assembling step S60.

The titanium cookware body preparation step S10 is to use the titanium plate body to manufacture the titanium cookware body 10. The step S10 of preparing the titanium cookware body can form a planar titanium plate body into the titanium cookware body 10 through different means such as stamping, rolling, forging and the like. The formed titanium cookware body 10 has an upper surface 111 and a lower surface 112 opposite to each other, and the upper surface 111 of the titanium cookware body 10 forms an accommodating space 12.

The cladding element preparation step S20 is to use the same titanium plate body as the titanium cookware body 10 to manufacture the titanium cladding element 20, and the titanium cladding element 20 has a central portion 21, and an outer surrounding portion 22 bent from the outer peripheral edge of the central portion 21. In addition, the height difference between the outer surrounding portion 22 and the central portion 21 is configured to match the thickness of the heat-conducting element 30.

The heat-conducting element preparation step S30 is to use at least one heat-conducting material layer 31 to manufacture the plate-shaped heat-conducting element 30, the heat-conducting element 30 can be placed in the interlayer space 23 between the titanium cladding element 20 and the lower surface of the titanium cookware body 10, and the top surface of the heat-conducting element 30 can be in contact with the lower surface of the titanium cookware body 10.

In the present embodiment, the step S30 of preparing the heat-conducting element includes: using a heat-conducting material to make the heat-conducting material layer 31, using iron, steel, or stainless steel plates to manufacture two supporting material layers 32, assembling the two supporting material layers 32 on the two opposite sides of the heat-conducting material layer 31, and then forming an annular side portion 33 on the outer peripheral edges of the two supporting material layers 32 by means of welding so as to surround the outer peripheral edges of the two supporting material layers 32 at 360 degrees, so that the heat-conducting material layer 31 is sealed between the two supporting material layers 32 to form the heat-conducting element 30.

The anti-stick layer forming step S40 is to form the anti-stick layer 40 by means of thermal oxidation or plasma oxidation on the titanium cookware body 10. The anti-stick layer 40 is a titanium oxide film with a thickness greater than 3 microns (µm). Through the above-mentioned method, the anti-stick layer 40 can form a titanium oxide layer in the rutile crystal form. In the present disclosure, through higher oxidation temperature and longer time, the anti-stick layer 40 formed on the surface of the titanium cookware body 10 has a larger thickness and a denser crystal structure.

Referring to FIG. 5, which is a schematic view of a method for forming the anti-stick layer 40 by means of thermal oxidation according to the present disclosure. In this embodiment, thermal oxidation is performed through a heating furnace. The heating furnace can be a vacuum calciner 50. The vacuum calciner 50 has a support frame 51 for carrying the titanium cookware body 10, a heating device 52, a vacuuming device 54, and an air inlet pipe 53 connected to the vacuum calciner 50. In the anti-stick layer forming step S40, the titanium cookware body 10 that has been welded with the titanium cladding element 20 is placed on the support frame 51 of the vacuum calciner 50, and then the titanium cookware body 10 is heated in a state where a vacuum environment is formed in the vacuum calciner 50 through the vacuuming device 54, so that the titanium cookware body 10 is annealed. Then be heated to a predetermined oxidation temperature, and then air, or oxygen, or nitrogen, or nitrogen-oxygen mixed gas is introduced into the vacuum calciner 50 through the air inlet pipe 53, so that the surface of the titanium cookware body 10 is oxidized to form the anti-stick layer 40.

The cleaning step S50 is to remove the grease and pollutants on the surface of the titanium cookware body 10 and the titanium cladding element 20 through pickling, sandblasting and other means.

The assembling step S60 is to place the heat-conducting element 30 between the titanium cladding element 20 and the titanium cookware body 10, and the outer surrounding portion 22 of the titanium cladding element 20 is welded to the lower surface 112 of the titanium cookware body 10 by means of welding. In particular, in the assembling step S60 of the present disclosure, the titanium cladding element 20 and the titanium cookware body 10 can be welded by means of high-frequency welding.

After the assembling step S60 is completed, the titanium cladding element 20 is welded to the lower surface of the titanium cookware body 10, and the outer peripheral edge of the outer surrounding portion 22 can be in close contact with the lower side of the titanium cookware body 10. The interlayer space 23 is formed between the titanium cladding element 20 and the lower side 112 of the titanium cookware body 10, and the heat-conducting element 30 is accommodated in the interlayer space 23.
