Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of small household appliances, and in particular to a grilling appliance. Background Technology
[0002] Grilling and frying appliances are becoming increasingly popular due to their diverse functions, such as frying, grilling, and baking.
[0003] Existing frying and grilling appliances, such as teriyaki ovens, include a base, a baking tray assembly on the base, and a heating element positioned towards the baking tray to heat the food on it. This heating element is powered on and continuously heats the food on the baking tray. However, even when the heating element is powered on but the baking tray assembly is not in place, or when the frying and grilling appliance is tilted, the heating element of existing frying and grilling appliances continues to heat, posing a significant safety hazard to users. Summary of the Invention
[0004] In view of this, it is necessary to provide a grilling appliance that can automatically cut off the power when the grill pan is removed or the product is tilted, so as to avoid safety hazards.
[0005] The present invention provides a grilling appliance for placement on a work surface, comprising a grilling pan assembly and a base, wherein the grilling pan assembly is detachably mounted on the base;
[0006] A heating assembly, which is connected to the base via a vertical arm and is located above the baking tray assembly;
[0007] A power supply circuit, energized and connected to the heating assembly; and
[0008] Switching components;
[0009] The switch assembly includes a switch and a contact element capable of triggering the switch. The contact element includes a first contact element and a second contact element. When the base is placed on the working surface, the working surface can drive the first contact element to move toward the second contact element. When the baking tray assembly is placed on the base, the baking tray assembly can drive the second contact element to move toward the first contact element.
[0010] When the base is placed on the work surface and the baking tray assembly is placed on the base, the touch element triggers the switch to turn on the power supply circuit; when the base is not placed on the work surface or the baking tray assembly is not placed on the base, the switch turns off the power supply circuit.
[0011] The grilling appliance provided by this invention, when the grill pan assembly is placed on the base and the base is standing on the work surface, triggers a switch to connect the power supply circuit, facilitating normal user operation. However, when the grill pan assembly is placed on the base or when the base is standing on the work surface, the power supply circuit is disconnected, thereby reducing safety hazards and ensuring user safety.
[0012] In one embodiment, the switch is capable of following the movement of the second contact element toward the first contact element; or
[0013] The switch can move from the first contact element to the second contact element.
[0014] Furthermore, the switch is fixedly mounted on the second contact element; or
[0015] The switch is fixedly installed on the first contact element.
[0016] With this configuration, when the first and second contact elements move toward each other, the switch can follow the movement of either the first or second contact element to control the power supply circuit. The control method is simple, stable, and reliable.
[0017] In one embodiment, the seat has a cavity, and the switch is located between the first contact member and the second contact member and within the cavity, wherein the first contact member protrudes at least partially from the top wall of the seat and the second contact member protrudes at least partially from the bottom wall of the seat.
[0018] When the baking tray assembly is placed on the base, the portion of the first contact element protruding from the top wall of the base can be pressed downwards. When the base is placed on the working surface, the working surface can press the portion of the second contact element protruding from the bottom wall of the base upwards. This allows the first and second contact elements to move towards each other and trigger the switch to control the on / off state of the power supply circuit, thereby reducing safety hazards.
[0019] In one embodiment, the switch assembly further includes a guide shaft fixed to the inner wall of the cavity, wherein both the first contact member and the second contact member are movably sleeved on the guide shaft and move along the guide shaft.
[0020] With this configuration, the guide shaft can guide and restrict the movement direction of the first and second contact elements.
[0021] In one embodiment, the switch assembly further includes an elastic element located between the first contact element and the second contact element.
[0022] With this configuration, when the first and second pressing members move toward each other, the elastic member is compressed. When the baking pan assembly is removed or the grilling utensil is tilted, the elastic force of the elastic member allows the first and second pressing members to slide back to their original positions.
[0023] In one embodiment, the elastic element is a spring, which is sleeved on the guide shaft and has its two ends pressing against the first contact element and the second contact element, respectively.
[0024] With this configuration, the spring has a strong deformation capacity, and the guide shaft can limit the direction of the spring's deformation, preventing the spring from deviating.
[0025] In one embodiment, there are multiple guide shafts, which are spaced apart and form an accommodating space. Each guide shaft passes through the first contact member and the second contact member, and the first contact member and the second contact member are at least partially located in the accommodating space.
[0026] With this configuration, multiple guide shafts can further improve the stability of the first and second contact elements during movement and prevent them from rotating around a single guide shaft.
[0027] In one embodiment, the first pressure member includes a first cap and a first fixing seat disposed around the periphery of the first cap. The switch is disposed corresponding to the first cap. The first fixing seat is movably sleeved on the guide shaft. The first cap extends from the cavity portion out of the top wall of the fixing seat.
[0028] With this configuration, when the baking tray assembly is placed on the top wall of the base, the first cap can be pressed downward, thereby causing the first fixed base to slide downward relative to the guide axis. At the same time, the first cap can press the switch cap downward.
[0029] In one embodiment, the second pressure member includes a second cap and a second fixing seat disposed around the second cap. The switch is fixedly installed on the second fixing seat, the second fixing seat is movably sleeved on the guide shaft, and the second cap extends from the cavity portion out of the bottom wall of the seat.
[0030] With this configuration, the switch is fixedly installed on the second mounting base, so that when the grilling appliance is placed on the table, the table can press the second cap upward, thereby causing the second mounting base to slide upward relative to the guide axis, and allowing the switch to move toward the first contact member along with the second mounting base, so as to control the switch.
[0031] In one embodiment, the switch assembly further includes a snap-fit portion located on the second mounting base for snap-fitting and securing the switch.
[0032] This design prevents the second cap of the switch from shifting during movement, thus improving the stability of the switch.
[0033] In one embodiment, the latching part is fixed to the second fixing seat, and the latching part is a plurality of circumferentially arranged latches. The switch is located between the plurality of latches and is latched and fixed by the latches.
[0034] This configuration, with multiple claws arranged circumferentially, further enhances the stability of the connection between the switch and the second fixed base.
[0035] In one embodiment, the switch includes a switch base and a switch cap that is floatably disposed relative to the switch base, the switch base being fixed to the second contact member, and the first contact member being capable of pressing the switch cap.
[0036] With this configuration, when the first and second contact elements move toward each other, they can press against the switch cap and switch base, causing the switch cap and switch base to also move toward each other.
[0037] In one embodiment, the seat includes an upper cover and a base, the upper cover being disposed on the base and forming a cavity with the base, the first pressing member extending from the cavity portion of the upper cover, and the second pressing member extending from the cavity portion of the base.
[0038] With this configuration, the baking tray assembly can press the first pressing element downwards and then stably place it on the top cover; the working surface can first press the second pressing element upwards and then stably support the grilling appliance.
[0039] In one embodiment, the baking tray assembly includes an oil receiving tray and a baking tray, the oil receiving tray being detachably disposed on the base and capable of being placed on the top wall of the base, and the baking tray being placed above the oil receiving tray.
[0040] This design allows users to easily remove and clean the baking tray assembly from the top cover after use, preventing water damage to the internal components of the base and ensuring user safety.
[0041] In one embodiment, the baking tray is detachably mounted on the oil collection tray.
[0042] This design makes it easy for users to disassemble and clean the baking tray and drip tray after use, reducing cleaning difficulty and improving cleaning efficiency.
[0043] In one embodiment, one end of the support arm is rotatably disposed on the base, and the other end is connected to the heating assembly.
[0044] This design allows users to rotate the arm after use so that the heating element rotates to one side of the base for easy storage. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation
[0053] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0054] It should be noted that when a component is said to be "installed on" another component, it can be directly on the other component or it may be in a component that is centered on it. When a component is said to be "set on" another component, it can be directly set on the other component or it may also be in a component that is centered on it. When a component is said to be "fixed to" another component, it can be directly fixed to the other component or it may also be in a component that is centered on it.
[0055] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this invention pertains. The terminology used herein in the specification of this invention is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the invention. The term "or / and" as used herein includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.
[0056] Existing frying and grilling appliances, such as teriyaki ovens, include a base, a baking tray assembly on the base, and a heating element positioned towards the baking tray to heat the food on it. However, when the heating element is powered on but the baking tray assembly is not in place, or when the frying and grilling appliance is tilted, the heating element of existing frying and grilling appliances continues to heat, posing a significant safety hazard to users.
[0057] To solve the above problems, such as Figures 1 to 7 As shown, the present invention provides a grilling appliance that can automatically cut off power when the grilling pan assembly is removed or the product is tilted, thus avoiding potential safety hazards.
[0058] It is understandable that the grilling appliance can be a teriyaki oven. The grilling appliance is used to place on a work surface, which can be any flat surface such as a tabletop or countertop, as long as the grilling appliance can be placed stably on the surface.
[0059] like Figures 3 to 4 As shown, specifically, the grilling appliance includes a grill pan assembly 10, a base 20, a switch assembly 30, a heating assembly 40, a support arm 50, and a power supply circuit (not shown); the grill pan assembly 10 is detachably mounted on the base 20; the heating assembly 40 is connected to the base 20 via the support arm and is located above the grill pan assembly 10; the power supply circuit is energized and connected to the heating assembly 40; the switch assembly 30 includes a switch 33 and a contact element capable of triggering the switch 33, the contact element including a first contact element 31 and a second contact element 32, when the base 20 is upright... On the working surface, the working surface can drive the first pressing member 31 to move towards the second pressing member 32. When the baking tray assembly 10 is placed on the base 20, the baking tray assembly 10 can drive the second pressing member 32 to move towards the first pressing member 31. When the base 20 is standing on the working surface and the baking tray assembly 10 is placed on the base 20, the pressing member triggers the switch 33 to conduct the power supply circuit. When the base 20 is not standing on the working surface or the baking tray assembly 10 is not placed on the base 20, the switch 33 disconnects the power supply circuit to reduce safety hazards and ensure user safety.
[0060] As mentioned earlier, in existing grilling appliances, the heating element continues to heat even when the grill pan assembly 10 is not placed on the appliance or when the appliance is tilted, posing a significant safety hazard to the user. Especially if the appliance is tilted when the user is not nearby, the failure of the heating element to automatically shut off could cause a fire. The grilling appliance provided by this invention has its heating element 40 positioned above the grill pan assembly 10. When the grill pan assembly 10 is placed on the base 20 and the base 20 is upright on the work surface, the first contact element 31 and the second contact element 32 can trigger the switch 33 to connect the power supply circuit, allowing normal use. Only when the grill pan assembly 10 is placed on the base 20 or only when the base 20 is upright on the work surface is the power supply circuit disconnected, thereby reducing safety hazards and ensuring user safety. In other words, the power supply circuit of the grilling appliance can only be turned on when the grilling appliance is under normal working conditions, so as to ensure that the grilling appliance can be in a safe working condition and avoid the risk of the heating element 40 continuing to heat when no grilling component is placed or when the grilling appliance is tilted.
[0061] It should be noted that, during normal use, the grilling appliance provided by this invention needs to be placed on a work surface (such as a horizontal surface like a tabletop), with the grilling tray assembly 10 placed on the base 20. The grilling tray assembly 10 is used to hold the food to be grilled, and the heating component 40 is used to heat the food to be grilled in the grilling tray assembly 10. Therefore, the heating component 40 can only work when both of the above conditions are met simultaneously (the grilling appliance is placed on the work surface, and the grilling tray assembly 10 is placed on the base 20), ensuring the grilling appliance is in a safe working environment. It is understood that this application is not limited to the above two conditions (no grilling tray assembly and the grilling appliance is tilted).
[0062] In one embodiment, the switch 33 can follow the second contact member 32 to move toward the first contact member 31; or the switch 33 can follow the first contact member 31 to move toward the second contact member 32, so that when the first contact member 31 and the second contact member 32 move toward each other, the switch 33 can follow the first contact member 31 or the second contact member 32 to achieve control of the power supply circuit. The control method is simple, stable and reliable.
[0063] Specifically, switch 33 is fixedly installed on the second contact member 32; or switch 33 is fixedly installed on the first contact member 31 so that when the first contact member 31 and the second contact member 32 move towards each other, switch 33 can follow the movement of the first contact member 31 or the second contact member 32, so as to better control the power supply circuit.
[0064] like Figure 1As shown, the heating element 40 is positioned above the baking pan assembly 10 and is capable of radiating heat toward the baking pan assembly 10 located below the heating element 40 to heat the food on the baking pan assembly 10.
[0065] Specifically, the heating component 40 is connected to the base 20 via the upright arm 50. One end of the upright arm 50 is connected to the base 20, and the other end is connected to the heating component 40. The power supply circuit located within the base 20 can be electrically connected to the heating component 40 via wiring within the inner cavity of the upright arm 50. Preferably, the upright arm 50 is rotatably mounted on the base 20 for easy storage after use.
[0066] refer to Figure 1 and Figure 7 , Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the grilling appliance in normal use. The arm 50 is in an upright position relative to the base 20, so that the heating element 40 is located above the grilling appliance, making it convenient for the user to use normally. Figure 7 This is a schematic diagram of the grilling appliance when the upright arm 50 is in a horizontal position. The upright arm 50 is in a horizontal position relative to the base 20 to reduce the size of the grilling appliance and facilitate storage. Here, the upright arm 50 and the base 20 are rotatably configured so that the upright arm 50 can rotate from an upright position to a horizontal position relative to the base 20, and also from a horizontal position to an upright position.
[0067] like Figures 2 to 4As shown, the base 20 has a cavity 21, and the baking tray assembly 10 is detachably disposed on the base 20; the switch 33 is located between the first pressing member 31 and the second pressing member 32 and is located in the cavity 21. The first pressing member 31 protrudes at least partially from the top wall of the base 20, and the second pressing member 32 protrudes at least partially from the bottom wall of the base 20, so that when the baking tray assembly 10 is placed on the top surface of the base 20 and the base 20 is placed on the working surface, the first pressing member 31 and the second pressing member 32 can move towards each other to press the switch 33, and the power supply circuit is in a conducting state, at which time it can supply power to the heating assembly 40. Placing the baking pan assembly 10 on the base 20 presses down the portion of the first pressing member 31 protruding from the top wall of the base 20. Placing the base 20 on the table presses up the portion of the second pressing member 32 protruding from the bottom wall of the base 20. This allows the first pressing member 31 and the second pressing member 32 to move towards each other and press against the switch 33. At this time, the switch 33 is energized, and the heating component 40 starts heating. When the baking pan assembly 10 is removed from the base 20, the first pressing member 31 does not move downward, the switch 33 is not energized, and when the grilling appliance is tilted or no external force is applied, the second pressing member 32 does not contact the table, so the second pressing member 32 does not move upward, the switch 33 is not energized, and the heating component 40 does not heat up. Therefore, the switch 33 will only be energized and the heating component 40 will only be in heating state when both the first contact member 31 and the second contact member 32 move toward each other and press against the switch 33. This provides a safe working condition for the use of the grilling appliance and avoids the heating component 40 from burning the user because the switch 33 is always energized, thereby reducing safety hazards.
[0068] like Figures 2 to 3 As shown, the base 20 includes an upper cover 22 and a base 23. The upper cover 22 is disposed on the base 23 and together with the base 23 forms a cavity 21. A first pressing member 31 extends out of the upper cover 22 from the cavity 21, and a second pressing member 32 extends out of the base 23 from the cavity 21. The base 23 is used to place on the work surface, and the baking tray assembly 10 can be placed on the upper cover 22. Under normal circumstances, without external force, the highest surface of the first pressing member 31 extending from the top cover 22 needs to be higher than the highest surface of the top cover 22. This is so that when the user places the baking pan assembly 10 on the top cover 22, the protruding part of the first pressing member 31 can be pressed downwards first. When the highest surface of the first pressing member 31 is at the same height as the highest surface of the top cover 22, the baking pan assembly 10 can be stably placed on the top cover 22. At the same time, without external force, the lowest surface of the second pressing member 32 extending from the base 23 needs to be lower than the lowest surface of the base 23. This is so that when the user places the grilling appliance on the work surface, the protruding part of the second pressing member 32 can be pressed upwards first. When the lowest surface of the second pressing member 32 is at the same height as the lowest surface of the base 23, the grilling appliance can be stably placed on the work surface.
[0069] like Figure 6 As shown, switch 33 is a limit switch and includes a switch base 331 and a switch cap 332 that is floating relative to the switch base 331. The switch base 331 is fixed to the second contact member 32, and the first contact member 31 can press the switch cap 332. The limit switch has a preset travel amount. The limit switch is only energized when the travel of the switch cap 332 relative to the switch base 331 is the same as the preset travel amount. When the first contact member 31 and the second contact member 32 move towards each other, they can press against the switch cap 332 and the switch base 331, causing the switch cap 332 and the switch base 331 to also move towards each other. When the baking tray assembly 10 is placed on the base 20 but the base 20 is not placed on the working surface, the first pressing member 31 can press the switch cap 332 downward. At this time, the stroke of the switch cap 332 is less than the preset stroke amount. When the base 20 is placed on the working surface but the baking tray assembly 10 is not placed on the base 20, the second pressing member 32 can press the switch base 331 upward. At this time, the stroke of the switch base 331 is also less than the preset stroke amount. When the baking tray assembly 10 is placed on the base 20 and the base 20 is placed on the working surface, the first pressing member 31 can press the switch cap 332 downward, and the second pressing member 32 can press the switch base 331 upward. At this time, the stroke of the relative movement between the switch cap 332 and the switch base 331 is equal to the preset stroke amount, and the limit switch is energized.
[0070] like Figure 4 As shown, the switch assembly 30 also includes a guide shaft 34, which is fixed to the inner wall of the cavity 21. Both the first contact member 31 and the second contact member 32 are movably sleeved on the guide shaft 34 and move along the guide shaft 34. The guide shaft 34 can guide and restrict the movement direction of the first contact member 31 and the second contact member 32, preventing them from tilting or shifting during movement, thus avoiding the phenomenon that they cannot press against the switch cap 332 and the switch base 331, or that the relative movement stroke of the switch cap 332 and the switch base 331 is less than the preset stroke amount.
[0071] In the illustrated embodiment, the guide shaft 34 is fixed to the upper cover 22. In other embodiments, the guide shaft 34 may also be fixed to the base 23, or fixedly connected to both the upper cover 22 and the base 23. Of course, the guide shaft 34 may also be snapped between the upper cover 22 and the base 23, as long as the stability of the guide shaft 34 can be ensured.
[0072] Multiple guide shafts 34 are spaced apart and form an accommodating space. Each guide shaft 34 passes through a first contact member 31 and a second contact member 32, with at least a portion of the first and second contact members 31 and 32 located within the accommodating space. A switch 33 is also accommodated within this space, and the multiple guide shafts 34 limit the switch 33's movement, preventing horizontal displacement of the switch 33 when the first and second contact members 31 and 32 press against it. Furthermore, the multiple guide shafts 34 further improve the stability of the first and second contact members 31 and 32 during movement, preventing them from rotating around a single guide shaft 34. In the illustrated embodiment, the switch 33 is accommodated with two guide shafts 34 symmetrically arranged on either side of the switch 33.
[0073] like Figures 5 to 6 As shown, the switch assembly 30 also includes an elastic element 35, which is located between the first pressing element 31 and the second pressing element 32. When the first pressing element 31 and the second pressing element 32 move towards each other, the elastic element 35 is compressed. When the baking pan assembly 10 is removed or the grilling appliance is tilted, the elastic force of the elastic element 35 allows the first pressing element 31 and the second pressing element 32 to slide back to their original positions. In one embodiment, the elastic element 35 is a spring, which is sleeved on the guide shaft 34 and has its two ends pressing against the first pressing element 31 and the second pressing element 32, respectively. The spring has a strong deformation capacity, and the guide shaft 34 can limit the direction of the spring's deformation, preventing the spring from deviating. Of course, in other embodiments, the elastic element 35 can also be other elastic elements such as rubber, as long as it can allow the first pressing element 31 and the second pressing element 32 to slide back to their original positions when the baking pan assembly 10 is removed or the grilling appliance is tilted.
[0074] like Figures 5 to 6As shown, specifically, the first pressing member 31 includes a first cap 311 and a first fixing seat 312 disposed around the first cap 311. The switch 33 is correspondingly disposed with respect to the first cap 311. The first fixing seat 312 is movably sleeved on the guide shaft 34. The first cap 311 extends partially from the cavity 21 out of the top wall of the seat 20. When the baking tray assembly 10 is placed on the upper cover 22, the first cap 311 can be pressed downward, thereby causing the first fixing seat 312 to slide downward relative to the guide shaft 34. At the same time, the first cap 311 can press the switch cap 332 downward. The second pressing member 32 includes a second cap 321 and a second fixing seat 322 disposed around the second cap 321. The switch 33 is correspondingly disposed with respect to the second cap 321. The second fixing seat 322 is movably sleeved on the guide shaft 34. The second cap 321 extends partially from the cavity 21 out of the bottom wall of the seat 20. When the grilling appliance is placed on the work surface, the work surface can press the second cap 321 upward, thereby causing the second fixed seat 322 to slide upward relative to the guide shaft 34. At the same time, the second cap 321 can press the switch seat 331 upward. The elastic element 35 is located between the first fixed seat 312 and the second fixed seat 322, so as to be compressed when the first fixed seat 312 slides downward relative to the guide shaft 34 or when the second fixed seat 322 slides upward relative to the guide shaft 34.
[0075] like Figures 5 to 6 As shown, the switch assembly 30 also includes a latching portion 36, located at either the first fixed base 312 or the second fixed base 322, for latching and fixing the switch 33. This prevents the switch 33 from shifting during the pressing process by the first cap 311 and the second cap 321, thus preventing the relative movement of the switch cap 332 and the switch base 331 from being less than a preset amount, thereby improving the stability of the switch 33. In the illustrated embodiment, the switch 33 is fixed to the second fixed base 322, and the latching portion 36 is fixed to the second fixed base 322, latching the switch. The latching portion 36 consists of multiple circumferentially arranged latches. The switch 33 is located between the multiple latches, and the switch base 331 is latched and fixed to the second fixed base 322 by the latches. The first cap 311 can press against the switch cap 332. The multiple latches and their circumferential arrangement further improve the stability of the connection between the switch base 331 and the second fixed base 322. Preferably, there are four claws, which are evenly distributed around the circumference of the switch base 331. In another embodiment, the engaging portion 36 is fixed to the first fixed base 312. The engaging portion 36 consists of multiple circumferentially arranged claws. The switch 33 is located between the multiple claws, and the switch cap 332 is engaged and fixed to the first fixed base 312 by the claws. The second cap 321 can be pressed against the switch base 331.
[0076] like Figures 2 to 3As shown, the baking tray assembly 10 includes an oil drip tray 11 and a baking tray 12. The oil drip tray 11 is detachably mounted on the base 20 and can be placed on the top wall of the upper cover 22. The baking tray 12 is placed above the oil drip tray 11.
