Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of small household appliances, in particular to a frying and grilling machine. Background Art

[0002] Existing grilling machines generally include an upper grilling pan assembly and a lower grilling pan assembly, which are rotatably connected to each other via a hinge structure so that the upper grilling pan assembly can be unfolded relative to the lower grilling pan assembly.

[0003] The hinge structure is located between the upper and lower grilling pan assemblies. The lower hinge protrudes from the lower grilling pan assembly's lower housing, extending upward and engaging with the upper hinge. To accommodate the lower hinge, the upper grilling pan assembly's upper housing needs to be designed to be thicker, making the grill thicker overall and less convenient for storage. Furthermore, the lower hinge, protruding from the lower housing assembly, is easily splattered with oil, making it difficult to clean. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In view of this, it is necessary to provide a grilling machine to address the above problems, which can effectively reduce the overall thickness of the grilling machine, facilitate storage, and prevent a lot of oil from splashing onto the hinge assembly.

[0005] The present invention provides a grilling machine, comprising: an upper shell assembly; a lower shell assembly; and a hinge assembly, wherein the hinge assembly is arranged between the upper shell assembly and the lower shell assembly, the upper shell assembly is rotatably connected to the lower shell assembly via the hinge assembly, the hinge assembly comprises a lower hinge mounted on the lower shell assembly and an upper hinge mounted on the upper shell assembly, the lower hinge is liftable relative to the lower shell assembly, and when the lower hinge is in the lowest position, the highest surface of the hinge assembly is no higher than the highest surface of the lower shell assembly.

[0006] In the grilling machine described above, the hinge assembly can be raised and lowered relative to the upper or lower housing assembly. When the cooking space needs to be adjusted as the food expands during cooking, the hinge assembly can be raised to accommodate the required cooking space. When stored, the upper housing assembly fits over the lower housing assembly without protruding beyond the housing assembly. This eliminates the need for additional storage space in the opposing housing assembly to accommodate the hinge assembly, effectively reducing the overall thickness of the machine for easier storage. Furthermore, since the lower hinge is in its lowest position, it reduces oil spills onto the hinge assembly, making cleaning easier.

[0007] In one embodiment, the hinge assembly includes an upper hinge and a lower hinge, the lower hinge is liftably mounted on the lower shell assembly, the upper hinge is rotatably connected to the lower hinge, and the upper hinge is fixedly connected to the upper shell assembly.

[0008] With this arrangement, since the lower hinge is installed on the lower shell assembly in a liftable manner, the upper shell assembly can be lifted and lowered relative to the lower shell assembly; and since the upper hinge is rotatably connected to the lower hinge, the upper shell assembly can be rotated relative to the lower shell assembly.

[0009] In one embodiment, the lower hinge includes a first block, a second block, and a connecting portion connecting the first block and the second block; the lower shell assembly has a receiving groove, the first block is received in the receiving groove and can be raised and lowered along the receiving groove, and the second block extends out of the receiving groove and is connected to the upper hinge.

[0010] With this arrangement, the first block is accommodated in the accommodating groove, which prevents the first block from protruding from the lower shell assembly and affecting the rotation or lifting of the upper shell assembly. At the same time, it can also prevent the first block from being splashed with oil due to exposure, making it easier to clean and store.

[0011] In one embodiment, the hinge assembly further includes a guide rod, which is disposed in the accommodating groove and has two ends respectively abutting against the inner wall of the accommodating groove; the first block is provided with a through hole, the guide rod passes through the through hole and the first block can be lifted and lowered along the guide rod.

[0012] With this arrangement, the through hole of the first block slidably cooperates with the guide rod to prevent the first block from falling out of the accommodating groove, while also improving the stability of the upper shell assembly when it is lifted relative to the lower shell assembly.

[0013] In one embodiment, the guide rod is disposed in the receiving groove and two ends thereof are respectively in contact with the inner wall of the receiving groove.

[0014] This arrangement prevents the first block from getting stuck when sliding on the guide rod due to oil being splashed on the guide rod. At the same time, since the guide rod is clamped between the lower cover and the lower shell, the stability of the guide rod can be improved, preventing the guide rod from tilting or deflecting.

[0015] In one embodiment, the second block is provided with a through hole, and the upper hinge includes a rotating shaft, which is rotatably disposed in the through hole.

[0016] With this arrangement, the second block rotates around the rotation axis, which can improve the stability of the rotation of the upper shell assembly relative to the second block.

[0017] In one embodiment, the hinge components are divided into two groups, and the two groups of hinge components are spaced apart.

[0018] Such an arrangement further improves the stability of the upper shell assembly when it rotates or rises relative to the lower shell assembly.

[0019] In one embodiment, the grilling machine further includes a lower grilling pan, and the lower grilling pan is detachably disposed on the lower housing assembly.

[0020] With this arrangement, the user can remove the lower baking tray when replacing or cleaning the lower baking tray as needed.

[0021] In one embodiment, the lower shell assembly includes a lower shell and a lower cover, the lower cover is fixed on the lower shell, the lower cover and the lower shell cooperate to form a receiving groove for accommodating the lower hinge, and the lower baking tray is detachably arranged on the side of the lower shell away from the receiving groove.

[0022] With this arrangement, since the lower cover and the lower shell cooperate to form a receiving groove, and the lower baking tray is arranged on the side of the lower shell away from the receiving groove, grease generated by the lower baking tray can be prevented from entering the receiving groove.

[0023] In one embodiment, the lower housing assembly includes a lower baking tray and a lower cover. The lower baking tray is fixed to the lower cover and is enclosed with the lower cover to form a receiving groove for accommodating the lower hinge.

[0024] With this arrangement, the lower baking tray is directly arranged on the lower cover, which reduces the number of parts, thereby reducing the assembly steps during use and facilitating storage.

[0025] In one embodiment, the grilling machine further includes a stop assembly for supporting the upper shell assembly on the lower shell assembly, the stop assembly including a stop portion provided on the lower shell assembly and a matching portion provided on the upper shell assembly, when the grilling machine is in a first set angle open state, the matching portion abuts against the stop portion, and when the grilling machine is in a second set angle open state, the matching portion is placed above the stop portion.

[0026] With such a configuration, the mating portion can abut against the stop portion or be placed above the stop portion when the upper shell assembly and the lower shell assembly are in the first set angle opening state or the second set angle opening state, preventing the upper shell assembly from accidentally closing or flipping over during use and scalding the user, thereby ensuring the user's safety.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0037] The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0038] It should be noted that when a component is referred to as being "mounted on" another component, it may be directly on the other component or there may be a central component. When a component is considered to be "set on" another component, it may be directly set on the other component or there may be a central component. When a component is considered to be "fixed to" another component, it may be directly fixed to the other component or there may be a central component.

[0039] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by those skilled in the art to which this invention pertains. The terms used herein in the specification of the present invention are for the purpose of describing specific embodiments only and are not intended to limit the present invention. The term "or / and" as used herein includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.

[0040] Existing grilling machines typically include an upper grill assembly and a lower grill assembly, which are rotatably connected by a hinge structure, allowing the upper grill assembly to unfold relative to the lower grill assembly. The hinge structure is located between the upper and lower grill assemblies. The lower hinge of the hinge structure protrudes upward from the lower housing of the lower grill assembly and engages with the upper hinge. To accommodate the lower hinge, the upper housing of the upper grill assembly needs to be designed to be thick, making the grilling machine thicker overall and inconvenient to store. Furthermore, the lower hinge, protruding from the lower housing, is easily splashed with oil, making it difficult to clean.

[0041] In order to solve the above problems, Figures 1 to 9 As shown, the present invention provides a grilling machine that can effectively reduce the overall thickness of the grilling machine, making it easier to store, and can also reduce the oil stains on the lower hinge, making it easier to clean.

[0042] The grilling machine includes an upper grilling pan assembly, a lower grilling pan assembly, and a hinge assembly 30. The upper grilling pan assembly includes an upper housing assembly 10 and an upper grilling pan 60 disposed on the upper housing assembly 10. The lower grilling pan assembly includes a lower housing assembly 20 and a lower grilling pan 40 disposed on the lower housing assembly 20. The upper grilling pan assembly and the lower grilling pan assembly can be rotatably connected by the hinge assembly 30, so that the grilling machine can be in an open state and a closed state.

[0043] For ease of explanation and description, the closed state of the grilling machine refers to the upper grilling tray assembly covering the lower grilling tray assembly, with the upper grilling tray surface approximately parallel to the lower grilling tray surface. Persons skilled in the art will understand that when the grilling machine is in the closed state to grill food on both sides, the angle between the upper grilling tray and the lower grilling tray caused by the thickness of the food is negligible, and this state is still defined as the closed state.

[0044] Similarly, when the grilling machine is in the open state, an angle is formed between the upper grilling plate in the upper grilling plate assembly and the lower grilling plate. The grilling machine of the present invention has two open states: a partially open state and a fully open state. When the grilling machine is in the partially open state, the angle between the upper grilling plate in the upper grilling plate assembly and the lower grilling plate is a first set angle, approximately 90 degrees. When the grilling machine is fully opened, the angle between the upper grilling plate in the upper grilling plate assembly and the lower grilling plate is a second set angle, approximately 180 degrees.

[0045] like Figure 5 As shown, specifically, the hinge assembly 30 is arranged between the upper shell assembly 10 and the lower shell assembly 20, and the upper shell assembly 10 is rotatably connected to the lower shell assembly 20 through the hinge assembly 30. The hinge assembly 30 is arranged between the upper shell assembly 10 and the lower shell assembly 20, and the upper shell assembly 10 is rotatably connected to the lower shell assembly 20 through the hinge assembly 30. The hinge assembly 30 includes a lower hinge 312 installed on the lower shell assembly 20 and an upper hinge 311 installed on the upper shell assembly 10. The lower hinge 312 can be raised and lowered relative to the lower shell assembly 20, and when the lower hinge 312 is in the lowest position, the highest surface of the hinge assembly 30 is not higher than the highest surface of the lower shell assembly 20, which can effectively reduce the overall thickness of the frying and grilling machine and facilitate storage; at the same time, it can reduce oil stains on the lower hinge and facilitate cleaning.

[0046] As previously mentioned, in the prior art, the hinge structure is located between the upper and lower grilling tray assemblies. This results in a relatively thick overall thickness when the grill is closed, making it difficult to store. However, in the grill provided by the present invention, the hinge assembly 30 is movable relative to the upper housing assembly 10 or the lower housing assembly 20. When the grill needs to adjust the cooking space as food expands during cooking, the hinge assembly 30 can be raised to accommodate the required cooking space. When the grill is stored, the upper housing assembly 10 is closed onto the lower housing assembly, and the hinge assembly 30 can be lowered so that it does not protrude beyond the housing assembly. This eliminates the need for additional storage space in the opposing housing assembly to accommodate the hinge assembly 30, effectively reducing the overall thickness of the grill, making it easier to store. This also reduces oil spills on the hinge assembly, making it easier to clean. When the user closes the grill from the open state, the user first lifts the upper housing assembly 10 so that the upper housing assembly 10 can rotate relative to the lower housing assembly 20 via the hinge assembly 30. When the upper housing assembly 10 rotates to the point where it can cover the lower housing assembly 20, the user presses down the upper housing assembly 10 so that the upper housing assembly 10 and the lower housing assembly 20 can fit together.

[0047] To ensure that the grill is generally flat when fully opened, the hinge assembly 30 is in its lowest, lowered position, and its highest surface is no higher than the highest surface of the lower housing assembly 20. This allows the user to unfold the grill from its closed position by first lifting the upper housing assembly 10, allowing it to rotate relative to the lower housing assembly 20 via the hinge assembly 30. When the upper housing assembly 10 is rotated 180 degrees, the user presses down on the upper housing assembly 10, aligning the upper and lower housing assembly 20 surfaces. At this point, the hinge assembly 30 is in its lowest, lowered position. Because the hinge assembly 30's highest surface is no higher than the highest surface of the lower housing assembly 20 when in its lowest, lowered position, the hinge assembly 30 does not protrude from the upper and lower housing assemblies 10, 20, thereby ensuring the overall flatness of the grill's top surface. This improves the stability of the grill during cooking and ensures user safety.

[0048] Here, the highest surface of the hinge assembly 30 refers to the plane where its highest point is located, such as Figure 8 As shown, it can be understood as the plane where the top of the hinge assembly 30 is located. Accordingly, the highest surface of the lower housing assembly 20 refers to the plane where the top surface of the lower housing assembly 20 is located, or the plane where the highest point of the lower housing assembly 20 is located.

[0049] Those skilled in the relevant art will appreciate that, in other embodiments, the upper hinge of the hinge assembly can be raised and lowered relative to the upper housing assembly to address the aforementioned issues. Since the upper hinge's raise and lower relative to the upper housing assembly is similar to the lower hinge's raise and lower relative to the lower housing assembly, the following description and explanation will use the latter (the lower hinge's raise and lower relative to the lower housing assembly) as an example, and the upper hinge's raise and lower relative to the upper housing assembly will not be further elaborated.

[0050] In the illustrated embodiment, the open state of the grilling machine is a stable state when the upper shell assembly 10 and the lower shell assembly 20 are unfolded to 90° or 180°. Of course, in other embodiments, the upper shell assembly 10 and the lower shell assembly 20 can also be unfolded to stable states at other angles as needed.

[0051] like Figures 1 to 2As shown, the grilling machine also includes a lower grilling tray 40 and an upper grilling tray 60. The lower grilling tray 40 can be fixedly mounted to the lower housing assembly 20 or detachably mounted thereto; the upper grilling tray 60 can be fixedly mounted to the upper housing assembly 10 or detachably mounted thereto. The detachable lower grilling tray 40 and upper grilling tray 60 improve user convenience when replacing or cleaning them, while also further reducing the overall thickness of the grilling machine when closed. The separate upper grilling tray 60 and lower grilling tray 40 allow for single-sided cooking of food when open and double-sided cooking when closed. Furthermore, since food thickness varies, the spacing between the upper and lower housing assemblies 10 and 20 can be adjusted according to the thickness of the food during double-sided cooking, thereby enhancing the grilling machine's compatibility. Of course, since the surface of the grilling machine is generally flat when the grilling machine is in the fully opened state, the lower grilling tray 40 and the upper grilling tray 60 can also be an integral grilling tray, which can be placed on the upper shell assembly 10 and the lower shell assembly 20 when the grilling machine is in the opened state to increase the area of ​​the grilling tray, thereby meeting the needs of more people using it at the same time.

[0052] like Figures 1 to 2 As shown, the grilling machine also includes a cover. The cover can be the same size as the grilling machine when it is open, or the same size as the lower housing assembly 20 or the upper housing assembly 10, without limitation. The upper housing assembly 10 also includes a support handle 11 disposed on a side facing away from the upper grilling tray 60. When the upper housing assembly 10 and the lower housing assembly 20 are unfolded to a 180-degree angle, the support handle 11 and the bottom of the lower housing assembly 20 are aligned, thereby supporting the upper housing assembly 10 and preventing the upper grilling tray 60 or food from falling from the upper housing assembly 10 and causing burns to the user due to the upper housing assembly 10 continuing to tilt to a larger angle after being unfolded to 180 degrees.

[0053] like Figure 5 As shown, in one embodiment, the lower housing assembly 20 includes a lower shell 22 and a lower cover 23. The lower cover 23 is fixed to the lower shell 22. The lower cover 23 and the lower shell 22 cooperate to form a receiving groove 21 for accommodating a portion of the hinge assembly 30. The receiving groove 21 extends vertically to both sides, and the lower baking tray 40 is detachably disposed on the side of the lower shell 22 facing away from the receiving groove 21. The lower shell 22 and the lower cover 23 also enclose an installation space, in which other internal components such as the heating element are disposed. The lower cover 23 and the lower shell 22 can be fixedly connected by screws, snaps, etc., making it easy for the user to remove or install the lower housing assembly 20 when maintenance or replacement of internal components is required.

[0054] like Figure 2As shown, in another embodiment, the lower grilling tray 40 is fixed to the lower cover 23. The lower grilling tray 40 and the lower cover 23 enclose a receiving groove 21 for accommodating the lower hinge 312. The lower grilling tray 40 is directly mounted on the lower cover 23, reducing the number of parts and thus the number of assembly steps during use, making it easier to store. Of course, in other embodiments, the receiving groove 21 can also be defined in either the lower shell 22 or the lower cover 23. Alternatively, the lower shell assembly 20 can be integral, with the receiving groove 21 defined in the outer wall of the lower shell assembly 20.

[0055] like Figures 8 and 9 As shown, the lower hinge 312 includes a first block 3121, a second block 3122, and a connecting portion 3123 connecting the first block 3121 and the second block 3122. The first block 3121 is accommodated in the receiving groove 21 and can be raised and lowered along the receiving groove 21. The second block 3122 extends out of the receiving groove 21 and is connected to the upper hinge 311. When the lower hinge 312 of the second block 3122 is in the lowest position of the lower portion, the highest surface of the second block 3122 is no higher than the highest surfaces of the upper housing assembly 10 and the lower housing assembly 20. The first block 3121 is accommodated in the receiving groove 21, which prevents the first block 3121 from protruding from the lower housing assembly 20 and affecting the rotation or raising and lowering of the upper housing assembly 10. It also prevents the first block 3121 from being splashed with oil due to its exposure, making it easier to clean and store. Furthermore, the first block 3121 extends from the connecting portion 3123 toward one side of the lower shell assembly 20, and the second block 3122 extends from the connecting portion 3123 toward one side of the upper shell assembly 10, to prevent the first block 3121 from affecting the rotation of the upper shell assembly 10 or the second block 3122 from affecting the lifting of the upper shell assembly 10.

[0056] The hinge assembly 30 also includes a guide rod 32, which is positioned within the receiving groove and is used to guide the lower hinge 312 to rise and fall along the guide rod 32. Specifically, the guide rod 32 is sandwiched within the receiving groove 21 between the lower cover 23 and the lower shell 22, with both ends abutting the inner wall of the receiving groove 21. The first block 3121 has a through hole 31211, through which the guide rod 32 passes, and the first block 3121 can rise and fall along the guide rod 32. The through hole 31211 of the first block 3121 slides with the guide rod 32 to guide the lower hinge 312 to rise and fall, preventing the first block 3121 from falling out of the receiving groove 21. This also improves the stability of the upper shell assembly 10 when it is raised and lowered relative to the lower shell assembly 20. Furthermore, because the guide rod 32 is vertically sandwiched between the lower cover 23 and the lower shell 22, it improves the stability of the guide rod 32 and prevents it from tilting or shifting. At the same time, the guide rod 32 is accommodated in the accommodating groove 21, which can also prevent the guide rod 32 from being splashed with oil due to exposure of the guide rod 32, and is easy to clean and store.

[0057] The second block 3122 defines a through hole 31221. The upper hinge 311 includes a rotating shaft 3111 rotatably disposed in the through hole 31221. The second block 3122 rotates about the rotating shaft 3111, thereby improving the stability of the upper housing assembly 10 relative to the second block 3122. The upper housing assembly 10 defines an escape groove 12, with the ends of the rotating shaft 3111 fixedly connected to the ends of the escape groove 12. The second block 3122 can extend into the escape groove 12, which prevents the upper housing assembly 10 from colliding with the second block 3122 during rotation relative to the second block 3122.

[0058] In addition, there are two groups of hinge assemblies 30, and the two groups of hinge assemblies 30 are arranged at intervals. Figure 9 As shown, in order to further improve the stability of the upper shell assembly 10 when it rotates or rises and falls relative to the lower shell assembly 20, a connecting rod 33 is fixedly connected between the two lower hinges 312. The two upper hinges 311 can be the same rotating shaft 3111 or two rotating shafts 3111. The connecting rod 33 enables the two lower hinges 312 to rotate synchronously around the rotating shaft 3111 and to rise and fall synchronously along the guide rod 32.

[0059] like Figures 4 and 5 ,as well as Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the grilling machine further includes a stopper assembly 50 for supporting the upper housing assembly 10 on the lower housing assembly 20. In the illustrated embodiment, the stopper assembly 50 can stop the upper housing assembly 10 when the upper and lower housing assemblies 10 and 20 are in a 90° open position, preventing the upper housing assembly 10 from accidentally closing or flipping over during use, which could cause burns to the user, thereby ensuring user safety.

[0060] like Figures 6 and 7 As shown, the stopper assembly 50 includes a stopper portion 51 provided on the lower shell 22 and a matching portion 52 provided on the upper shell assembly 10, so that when the grilling machine is in the 90° open state, the matching portion 52 abuts against the stopper portion 51, and when the grilling machine is in the 180° open state, the matching portion 52 is placed above the stopper portion 51. The abutment of the matching portion 52 against the stopper portion 51 can prevent the upper shell assembly 10 from accidentally closing or flipping over during use and scalding the user, thereby ensuring the user's safety. When the grilling machine passes through the 90-degree open state to the 180-degree open state, the matching portion 52 can be placed above the stopper portion 51 and does not interfere with the movement of the upper shell assembly 10. Specifically, the stopper portion 51 includes a first abutting surface 511 and a second abutting surface 512, and the matching portion 52 includes a third abutting surface 521 and a fourth abutting surface 522. As shown Figure 6As shown, when the upper housing assembly 10 and the lower housing assembly 20 are in a 180° open state, the matching portion 52 is placed above the stop portion 51, and the third abutting surface 521 is placed above the first abutting surface 511. Figure 7 As shown, when the upper shell assembly 10 and the lower shell assembly 20 are in a 90° open state, the mating portion 52 abuts against the stop portion 51, and the fourth abutting surface 522 abuts against the second abutting surface 512, preventing the upper shell assembly 10 from accidentally covering the lower shell assembly 20 after being unfolded to 90°, causing the upper baking tray 60 or food on the upper shell assembly 10 to fall and scald the user.

[0061] The technical features of the above-mentioned embodiments can be combined arbitrarily. In order to make the description concise, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above-mentioned embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

[0062] The above-described embodiments merely illustrate several implementations of the present invention, and while their descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the patent. It should be noted that a person skilled in the art would be able to make numerous variations and improvements without departing from the spirit of the present invention, all of which fall within the scope of protection of the present invention. Therefore, the scope of protection of the patent for this invention shall be determined by the appended claims.
