Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of electrical appliances, and in particular to an electrical appliance with a movable connection structure, which is mainly but not limited to kitchen appliances. Background Art

[0002] Kitchen appliances are widely used in people's lives. For example, multifunctional chef machines and electric pressure cookers usually have two structural forms: the first is to hinge one end of the cover to the pot body, and the second is a rotatable detachable cover body. Sensors can be set on the pot body in both structural forms. For example, a pressure switch is set at the bottom of the inner pot to detect the pressure inside the inner pot by moving the inner pot up and down, or a temperature sensor is set at the bottom of the inner pot to detect the temperature. This method will have certain errors and cannot accurately and quickly read the pressure and temperature inside the inner pot, which will cause safety hazards when the electric pressure cooker is used. For the first type, the sensor can be set on the cover body, and the cable of the sensor is connected to the pot body through the hinged part. Due to the special structure of the hinged part, the wiring is not very convenient, and the cable is easily damaged due to the frequent rotation of the hinged part. For the second type, it is currently impossible to set the sensor on the cover body because the cover body cannot form an electrical connection with the pot body.

[0003] Therefore, it is necessary to improve existing electric pressure cooker. Summary of the invention

[0004] In view of this, the present invention aims at the deficiencies in the prior art, and its main purpose is to provide an electrical appliance with a movable connection structure, which solves the problem that an electrical connection cannot be formed between a rotating detachable cover and a pot body.

[0005] To achieve the above purpose, the present invention adopts the following technical solutions:

[0006] An electrical appliance with a movable connection structure comprises a relatively independent first part and a second part, wherein the first part has a slide and a first interface displaceably installed along the slide, and the second part has a second interface;

[0007] After the first part and the second part are stacked, the first interface and the second interface are plugged into each other and connected; when the first part and the second part rotate relatively, the first interface and the second interface always remain connected and move together along the slideway.

[0008] As a preferred solution, after the first part and the second part are rotated relative to each other in the first direction, the first part and the second part are locked with each other;

[0009] After the first part and the second part are relatively rotated in place along the second direction, the first part and the second part can be separated; along with the separation of the first part and the second part, the first interface and the second interface are separated and disconnected.

[0010] As a preferred solution, the first part is a cover body, and the second part is a kitchen appliance body; a sensor is provided on the cover body, and the sensor is connected to the first interface.

[0011] As a preferred solution, the kitchen appliance body has a heating cavity, and the sensor is a pressure sensor and / or a temperature sensor.

[0012] As a preferred solution, the kitchen appliance body has a heating unit and a control unit for controlling the heating unit, the control unit is connected to the second interface, and the sensor is exposed in the heating cavity; the control unit controls the operation of the heating unit according to sensor feedback.

[0013] As a preferred solution, the first interface is exposed at the lower end of the first part, and the second interface is exposed at the upper end of the second part.

[0014] As a preferred solution, the slide is formed by an upper slide seat and a lower slide seat assembled with each other, and the slide has a stop groove; the first interface is arranged on the guide slide, the guide slide is located in the slide and is restricted by the stop groove, and the first interface moves along the slide along with the guide slide.

[0015] As a preferred solution, the guide slide has an elastic arm extending upward, and the elastic arm has a buckle for clamping and fixing the first interface.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has obvious advantages and beneficial effects. Specifically, it can be seen from the above technical solution that:

[0017] The invention mainly provides a slideway and a first interface displaceably installed along the slideway on the first part. When the first part and the second part are stacked, the first interface and the second interface are plugged into each other and connected. When the first part and the second part rotate relative to each other, the first interface and the second interface always remain connected and displace together along the slideway. The problem that an electrical connection cannot be formed between the rotating detachable cover and the pot body is solved. In this way, a sensor such as a pressure sensor and / or a temperature sensor can be provided on the cover body to directly contact the internal heating chamber of the inner pot of the pot body, so as to accurately and quickly read the dynamic parameters such as the pressure and temperature of the heating chamber, which is conducive to real-time regulation of the parameters such as the pressure and temperature in the heating chamber.

[0018] Secondly, the slide guide is provided to facilitate the sliding of the interface in the slideway; and the slide guide has an elastic arm extending upward to facilitate the installation of the interface;

[0019] Furthermore, the slideway is formed by an upper slide seat and a lower slide seat which are assembled with each other, so the assembly is convenient, and the slide has a stop groove to prevent the interface from derailing in the slide, which is convenient for maintenance and replacement.

[0040] After the first part 10 and the second part 20 are relatively rotated in the second direction, the first part 10 and the second part 20 can be separated; as the first part 10 and the second part 20 are separated, the first interface 12 and the second interface 21 are separated and disconnected.

[0041] Specifically, the first part 10 is a cover 13, and a sensor (not shown) is disposed on the cover 13, and the sensor is connected to the first interface 12;

[0042] The second part 20 is a kitchen appliance body 22 having a heating cavity 221, a heating unit (not shown) and a control unit (not shown) for controlling the heating unit. The control unit is connected to the second interface 21, and the sensor is exposed to the heating cavity 221; the control unit controls the operation of the heating unit according to feedback from the sensor;

[0043] Furthermore, the first interface 12 is exposed at the lower end of the first part 10 , and the second interface 21 is exposed at the upper end of the second part 20 .

[0044] Further, the cover body 13 includes a cover plate 131 and a top cover 132 disposed on the cover plate 131, the first interface 12 is disposed on the cover plate 131 and is located at the outer peripheral side of the top cover 132, the slideway 11 is disposed along the outer peripheral side of the top cover 132, and the first interface 12 is exposed at the lower end of the cover plate 131; the top cover 132 covers the heating chamber 221, and the sensor is located at the bottom of the top cover 132; the sensor is a pressure sensor and / or a temperature sensor;

[0045] Correspondingly, the second interface 21 is exposed at the upper end of the kitchen appliance body 22 and is located outside the heating cavity 221 .

[0046] Preferably, the slide 11 is formed by an upper slide seat 111 and a lower slide seat 112 which are assembled with each other, and the upper slide seat 111 and the lower slide seat 112 are fixed to the cover plate 131 through fixing holes, and the slide 11 has a stop groove 113, and the side wall of the stop groove 113 is provided with an avoidance hole for the connection line to pass through; the first interface 12 is provided on the guide slide 30, and the guide slide 30 is located in the slide 11 and is limited by the stop groove 113, and the first interface 12 moves along the slide 11 along with the guide slide 30;

[0047] Furthermore, the guide slide 30 has an elastic arm 31 extending upward, and the elastic arm 31 has a buckle for clamping and fixing the first interface 12 .

[0048] It should be noted that:

[0049] (1) The first part and the second part are not limited to the cover body and the kitchen appliance body referred to in this embodiment. It is only necessary to meet the following requirements: the first part and the second part are relatively independently arranged and can rotate relative to each other.

[0050] (2) In this embodiment, the first part refers to the cover body, the second part refers to the kitchen appliance body, the slide and the first interface displaceably mounted along the slide are both arranged on the cover body, and the second interface is arranged on the kitchen appliance body; in actual design, the first part may also refer to the kitchen appliance body, the second part may refer to the cover body, the slide and the first interface displaceably mounted along the slide are both arranged on the kitchen appliance body, and the second interface is arranged on the cover body.

[0051] (3) In this embodiment, the first interface is exposed at the lower end of the first part, and the second interface is exposed at the upper end of the second part because the first part and the second part are stacked in the vertical direction. In actual design, the setting position and relative position direction of the first interface and the second interface will change with the stacking direction of the first part and the second part. For example, if the first part and the second part are stacked in the left-right direction, the first interface is exposed at the right end of the first part, and the second interface is exposed at the left end of the second part; other situations are similar and will not be described in detail here.
