[0057] To better understand the above technical solutions, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. It should be understood that the embodiments of this application and the specific features in the embodiments are detailed descriptions of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this application, rather than limitations on the technical solutions of this application. In the absence of conflict, the embodiments of this application and the technical features in the embodiments can be combined with each other.

[0058] like Figures 1 to 7 As shown, a bracket 100 is provided according to a first aspect of the present application, comprising: a mounting base 110 having a first mounting area 111 and a second mounting area 112 formed thereon; and a pressure plate 120 for connection to the mounting base 110, wherein when the pressure plate 120 is connected to the mounting base 110, the pressure plate 120 covers at least a portion of the first mounting area 111 and at least a portion of the second mounting area 112.

[0059] The bracket 100 provided in this embodiment includes a mounting base 110, on which a first mounting area 111 and a second mounting area 112 are formed. This arrangement allows two heating elements to be mounted on one bracket 100 simultaneously. The two heating elements can be assembled on one bracket 100. On the one hand, this brings the two heating elements closer together, allowing them to utilize each other's heat energy, reducing energy waste and improving heating efficiency. On the other hand, the bracket 100 can fix two heating elements, making the layout of the heating elements more compact and reducing the space required for installation, which is beneficial for the size of the required electrical appliance. Furthermore, when assembling the heating elements onto the electrical appliance, the two heating elements can be assembled onto the bracket 100 first, and then the bracket 100 can be assembled onto the electrical appliance, which reduces the number of brackets 100 required and simplifies the assembly of the heating elements.

[0060] It is understood that the bracket 100 provided in this application embodiment, by forming a first mounting area 111 and a second mounting area 112, allows for different types of heating elements installed in the first mounting area 111 and the second mounting area 112. This configuration allows a single bracket 100 to be used to fix a heating block, a heating tube, and a heating plate. It is understood that the heating block can be a die-cast heating block, the heating tube can be a strip-shaped heating tube, and the heating plate can be a thick-film heating plate. A single bracket 100 can fix at least two types of heating elements, making the bracket 100 versatile. When an appliance needs to be equipped with two different heating elements simultaneously, installation can be completed using a single bracket 100. Even when two appliances require a separate heating element based on actual needs, and the types of heating elements compatible with the two appliances are different, a single bracket 100 can still be used to install both types of heating elements. During appliance assembly, there is no need to select a fixed style of bracket 100 based on the type of heating element, simplifying the assembly process, reducing assembly difficulty, and improving assembly efficiency.

[0061] The bracket 100 provided in this application embodiment also includes a pressure plate 120, which is used to connect to the mounting base 110. By setting the pressure plate 120, the heating element can be more firmly fixed on the mounting base 110. The pressure plate 120 covers the first mounting area 111 and the second mounting area 112 at the same time, so that the two heating elements or two types of heating elements are more firmly fixed.

[0062] The bracket 100 provided in this embodiment takes into account that when the bracket 100 is connected to an appliance, the mounting base 110 is usually connected to the back panel of the appliance, and the side of the bracket 100 away from the mounting base 110 will be close to the outer surface. In this embodiment, the pressure plate 120 is provided, which can press on the heating element. When the bracket 100 is installed on the appliance, the pressure plate 120 can be between the heating element and the outer surface of the appliance, which can isolate the heating element from the outer surface of the appliance, suppress the heat dissipation of the heating element to the outer surface, reduce the surface temperature of the appliance, make the appliance work more safely, and improve the user experience.

[0063] The bracket 100 provided in this application embodiment, through the setting of the pressure plate 120, when heating elements are fixed on both the first mounting area 111 and the second mounting area 112, can make the layout of the bracket 100 and the heating elements more compact. On the one hand, it can reduce heat loss, and on the other hand, it can further reduce space occupancy, which is conducive to the miniaturization design of electrical appliances.

[0064] In some examples, the pressure plate 120 includes: a plate body 121; and a plurality of fixing parts 122 formed on the plate body 121, at least one of the plurality of fixing parts 122 being a first fixing part 1221 and another being a second fixing part 1222. When the plate body 121 is connected to the mounting base 110 by the plurality of fixing parts 122, the first fixing part is located in a first mounting area 111 and the second fixing part is located in a second mounting area 112.

[0065] In this technical solution, a structure for the pressure plate 120 is further provided. The pressure plate 120 may include a plate body 121 and multiple fixing parts 122. With the plate body 121, when the plate body 121 is connected to the mounting base 110, the pressure plate 120 can better cover the first mounting position 113 and the second mounting position 114. The plate body 121 can be connected to the mounting base 110 through multiple fixing parts 122, so that the plate body 121 can be connected to the mounting base 110 through multi-point fixing. On the one hand, the fixing of the plate body 121 is more reliable, and on the other hand, the degree of freedom of the plate body 121 is restricted, so that the plate body 121 is pressed more firmly onto the heating element, greatly reducing the probability of the heating element detaching from the bracket 100.

[0066] In this technical solution, at least one of the multiple fixing parts 122 is a first fixing part 1221, and the other can be a second fixing part 1222. By forming the first fixing part 1221 and the second fixing part 1222, the plate 121 is connected to the first mounting area 111 and the second mounting area 112 at the same time, making the fixing of the plate 121 to the mounting base 110 more reliable.

[0067] It is understood that the fixing part 122 can be a stud or a snap fastener formed on the plate 121. When the fixing part 122 is a stud, the plate 121 can be fixed by screwing the bolt through the mounting base 110 and screwing it onto the fixing part 122. When the fixing part 122 is a snap fastener, the plate 121 can be connected to the mounting base 110 by snap-fit.

[0068] like Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, in some examples, there are at least two second fixing parts 1222.

[0069] In this technical solution, there can be multiple second fixing parts 1222. The plate 121 is connected to the second mounting area 112 through at least two second fixing parts 1222, so that there are more connection points between the plate 121 and the second mounting area 112, making the fixing of the plate 121 more reliable.

[0070] like Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, in some examples, the pressure plate 120 further includes a reinforcing rib 123 formed on the plate body 121, with both ends of the reinforcing rib 123 connected to two fixing parts 122.

[0071] In this technical solution, a reinforcing rib 123 can also be formed on the plate 121. The strength of the plate 121 can be improved by setting the reinforcing rib 123. In particular, when the plate 121 is affected by the heating element and the temperature rises, the heat deformation of the plate 121 can be suppressed, and the heating element can be used to stabilize and press, thereby improving the fixing strength.

[0072] The two ends of the reinforcing rib 123 are respectively connected to two fixing parts 122. This arrangement allows the reinforcing rib 123 to reinforce the two fixing parts 122, reducing the probability of the plate 121 loosening due to the deformation of the fixing parts 122 caused by heat, and ensuring that the plate 121 can be pressed onto the heating element.

[0073] In some examples, the pressure plate 120 is made of insulating material.

[0074] In this technical solution, the pressure plate 120 can be made of heat-insulating material. On the one hand, when heating elements are provided in the first mounting position 113 and the second mounting position 114, the pressure plate 120 can better block the heat dissipation of the heating elements, so that less heat energy is dissipated from the heating elements onto the electrical panel, making the operation of the electrical appliance safer, and at the same time preventing users from feeling the surface temperature of the electrical appliance rise, thus improving the user experience. On the other hand, by making the pressure plate 120 of heat-insulating material, the amount of heat energy dissipated from the heating elements can be further reduced, and the heating efficiency of the heating elements can be further improved.

[0075] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, in some examples, the bracket 100 further includes: a partition 220 disposed on the mounting base 110, dividing the mounting base 110 into a first mounting area 111 and a second mounting area 112; a first mounting position 113 formed in the first mounting area 111; and a second mounting position 114 formed in the second mounting area 112.

[0076] The bracket 100 provided in this embodiment includes a mounting base 110 and a partition 220. The partition 220 divides the mounting base 110 into a first mounting area 111 and a second mounting area 112. A first mounting position 113 is formed in the first mounting area 111, and a second mounting position 114 is formed in the second mounting area 112. This arrangement allows two heating elements to be mounted on one bracket 100 at the same time. The two heating elements can be assembled on one bracket 100. On the one hand, the distance between the two heating elements is closer, and the heat energy dissipated by the two heating elements can be utilized by each other, reducing energy waste and improving heating efficiency. On the other hand, the two heating elements can be fixed by one bracket 100, making the layout of the heating elements more compact and reducing the space required for the installation of the heating elements, which is beneficial to the size of the required electrical appliance. Furthermore, when assembling the heating elements onto the electrical appliance, the two heating elements can be assembled onto the bracket 100 first, and then the bracket 100 can be assembled onto the electrical appliance, which can reduce the number of brackets 100 and simplify the assembly difficulty of the heating elements.

[0077] It is understood that the bracket 100 provided in this application embodiment can separate the first mounting position 113 and the second mounting position 114 by setting the partition 220. On the one hand, it is convenient for the two heating elements to be positioned and installed on the first mounting position 113 and the second mounting position 114 respectively; on the other hand, it can avoid direct heat transfer and heat exchange between the two heating elements, and avoid the operation mode of the heating elements activating thermal protection due to excessive temperature of the two heating elements, thereby further improving the stability and reliability of the heating element operation.

[0078] It is understandable that the first installation area 111 and the second installation area 112 are formed by the partition 220 and the mounting base 110. By designing the shape and style of the partition 220, the area and shape of the first installation area 111 and the second installation area 112 can be different. This arrangement allows the first installation area 111 and the second installation area 112 to be used to install two different types of heating elements.

[0079] In some examples, the first mounting area 111 can be used to mount the hot block, the second mounting area 112 can be used to mount the heating tube, and the shape of the partition 220 can be arc-shaped or approximately arc-shaped. This arrangement allows the shape of the inner wall of the partition 220 to fit the outer contour of the hot block, and the outer wall of the partition 220 to fit the contour of the heating tube, making the mounting of the heating tube and the hot block on the mounting base 110 more stable.

[0080] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, in some examples, the bracket 100 further includes: a first fixing component 130 disposed on the mounting base 110 and located within the first mounting area 111; and a second fixing component 140 disposed on the mounting base 110 and located within the second mounting area 112.

[0081] In this technical solution, a first fixing component 130 is provided in the first installation area 111, which can fix one heating element; a second fixing component 140 is provided in the second installation area 112, which can fix another heating element, making the connection between the heating element and the bracket 100 more reliable and reducing the probability of the heating element detaching from the bracket 100.

[0082] In some examples, the first fixing component 130 includes studs and / or snap fasteners; the second fixing component 140 includes studs and / or snap fasteners.

[0083] In this technical solution, the first fixing component 130 includes studs and / or snap fasteners. When the heating element is installed in the first mounting position 113, the heating element can be connected to the mounting base 110 by bolts and / or snap fasteners, making the fixing of the heating element in the first mounting position 113 more secure.

[0084] In this technical solution, the second fixing component 140 includes studs and / or snap fasteners. When the heating element is installed in the second mounting position 114, the heating element can be connected to the mounting base 110 by bolts and / or snap fasteners, making the heating element more securely fixed in the second mounting position 114.

[0085] like Figure 4 and Figure 7As shown, in some examples, the bracket 100 further includes: a first limiting plate 150 disposed on the mounting base 110 and located within the second mounting position 114; and a second limiting plate 160 disposed on the pressure plate 120 for abutting against the first limiting plate 150 to form a limiting space.

[0086] A first limiting plate 150 is provided in the second mounting position 114, and a second limiting plate 160 is provided above the pressure plate 120. When the pressure plate 120 is connected to the mounting base 110, the first limiting plate 150 can dock with the second limiting plate 160 to form a limiting space. When the heating element is set in the second mounting position 114, part of the heating element can be located between the limiting spaces. By limiting the heating element with the first limiting plate 150 and the second limiting plate 160, the degree of freedom of the heating element can be restricted, making the fixing of the heating element more reliable.

[0087] It is understandable that when the first limiting plate 150 and the second limiting plate 160 abut against each other, the resulting limiting space can be cylindrical or approximately cylindrical, making the second mounting position 114 particularly suitable for fixing tubular heating elements, such as for fixing strip heating tubes, which can reduce the occurrence of strip heating tube displacement and make the fixing of strip heating tubes more reliable.

[0088] In some examples, the bracket 100 further includes: a positioning element 170 disposed in one of the mounting base 110 and the plate 121; and a positioning hole 180 disposed in the other of the mounting base 110 and the plate 121, wherein the positioning element 170 is for insertion into the positioning hole 180.

[0089] In this technical solution, the bracket 100 also includes a positioning element 170 and a positioning hole 180. The positioning element 170 is provided on one of the mounting base 110 and the plate 121, and the positioning hole 180 is provided on the other. In the process of connecting the plate 121 and the mounting base 110, the positioning element 170 can be inserted into the positioning hole 180, which can enable the plate 121 and the mounting base 110 to be quickly aligned and installed. This can improve the assembly efficiency of the bracket 100, improve the fixing efficiency of the heating element on the mounting base 110, further simplify the assembly process of the electrical appliance, and help improve the manufacturing efficiency of the electrical appliance.

[0090] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, in some examples, the mounting base 110 includes a first surface and a second surface disposed opposite to each other, a first mounting area 111 and a second mounting area 112 are formed on the first surface, and a third mounting position 115 is formed on the second surface.

[0091] In this technical solution, the first mounting position 113 and the second mounting position 114 are formed on one surface of the mounting base 110, and the third mounting position 115 is formed on the other surface of the mounting base 110. The third mounting position 115 can fix another heating element. On the one hand, it makes the distance between the three heating elements closer, and the heat energy dissipated by the three heating elements can be utilized by each other, reducing energy waste and improving heating efficiency. On the other hand, the three heating elements can be fixed by a bracket 100, making the layout of the heating elements more compact, reducing the space required for the installation of the heating elements, and benefiting the size of the required electrical appliance. Furthermore, when assembling the heating elements onto the electrical appliance, the three heating elements can be assembled onto the bracket 100 first, and then the bracket 100 can be assembled onto the electrical appliance, which can reduce the number of brackets 100 and simplify the assembly difficulty of the heating elements.

[0092] One bracket 100 can simultaneously fix three heating elements, making it versatile. When an appliance requires three different heating elements, installation can be completed using a single bracket 100. It is understood that the first mounting position 113, the second mounting position 114, and the third mounting position 115 can be used to install different types of heating elements. Even when three appliances require a separate heating element based on actual needs, and the three appliances are compatible with different types of heating elements, one bracket 100 can still be used to install two types of heating elements. During appliance assembly, there is no need to select a fixed style of bracket 100 based on the type of heating element, simplifying the assembly process, reducing assembly difficulty, and improving assembly efficiency.

[0093] In this technical solution, the first mounting position 113 is used to install the heating block, the second mounting position 114 is used to install the heating element, and the third mounting position 115 is used to install the heating plate. This arrangement allows one bracket 100 to simultaneously fix the heating block, the heating element, and the heating plate, enabling one bracket 100 to fix different types of heating elements, greatly improving the versatility of the bracket 100. During the electrical assembly process, it is not necessary to select a suitable bracket 100 for each heating element; the bracket 100 provided in this application embodiment can be used to complete the installation and fixation of the heating elements, thereby improving heating efficiency.

[0094] In this technical solution, considering the large volume of the heating plate, the second side of the mounting base 110 is used as the surface for fixing the heating plate. The heating block and heating tube are small in volume, so the heating block and heating tube can be fixed on the same surface of the mounting base 110, which can improve the space utilization efficiency of the mounting base 110.

[0095] It is understandable that the heating block can be a die-cast heating block, the heating tube can be a strip heating tube, and the heating plate can be a rear film heating plate.

[0096] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, in some examples, the mounting base 110 can be plate-shaped, which reduces the volume of the mounting base 110 and further reduces the installation space required for the clearance bracket 100.

[0097] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in some examples, the bracket 100 further includes: a guide 190 disposed in the first mounting area 111 for guiding the hot block; and a positioning part 210 disposed in the third mounting position 115 for positioning the heating plate.

[0098] In this technical solution, the hollow annular area in the middle of the hot block is taken into consideration. Since the installation angle of the hot block may be different for different types or models of electrical appliances during installation, the bracket 100 provided in this application embodiment may also include a guide 190. During use, the hollow area of ​​the hot block can be fitted onto the guide 190. By rotating the hot block, the hot block can rotate around the guide 190, which facilitates the adjustment of the fixed position of the hot block. At the same time, the setting of the guide 190 can also fill the hollow position of the hot block, making the fixation of the hot block more reliable.

[0099] In this technical solution, considering that the heating plate is usually large in volume and covers a large area of ​​the second side of the mounting base 110, the probability of the heating plate becoming loose is greater. Based on this, this application forms a positioning part 210 on the second side. When the heating plate is installed on the mounting base 110, part of the heating plate can be placed in the positioning part 210. This setting can limit the heating plate and reduce the probability of the heating plate becoming loose.

[0100] In some examples, the guide 190 can be a protrusion formed on the first surface of the mounting base 110. When the heating block is connected to the mounting base 110, the heating block is fitted around the periphery of the protrusion, and the protrusion can guide the heating block. Furthermore, considering the uniformity of the thickness of the mounting base 110, the positioning part 210 can be a recess formed on the second surface, which is recessed in the direction of the first surface. That is, the protrusion can be a hollow structure, and the hollow space of the protrusion is the positioning part 210. During use, part of the heating plate can be placed inside the recess, thus limiting the movement of the heating plate relative to the direction of the second surface, making the fixing of the heating plate more reliable.

[0101] In some examples, the guide 190 is formed by protrusions, and the hollow portion of the protrusions forms a recess as a positioning part 210. This allows the thickness of the mounting base 110 to be more uniform, resulting in a more even distribution of stress on the mounting base 110, which can further improve the service life and strength of the bracket 100.

[0102] like Figures 1 to 5As shown, in some examples, the first mounting area 111 is annular in the cross section along the height direction of the bracket 100, and the first mounting area 111 is used to mount the heating block 230; the second mounting area 112 is arc-shaped in the cross section along the height direction of the bracket 100, and the second mounting area 112 is used to mount the heating tube 240; the third mounting position 115 is plate-shaped and is used to mount the heating plate 250.

[0103] In this technical solution, considering that the heat block is usually spiral, the first mounting area 111 is set as an annular shape, which allows the heat block 230 to be placed within the first mounting position 113, making the fixation of the heat block 230 more stable.

[0104] In this technical solution, the second mounting position 114 is arc-shaped. The arc-shaped design can be adapted to the shape of the heating tube 240. The arc-shaped heating tube 240 can be installed in the arc-shaped second mounting position 114, making the layout of the heating tube 240 and the heat block 230 more compact. At the same time, two mounting areas can be directly separated by the partition 220, which facilitates the installation of the heat block 230 and the heating tube 240.

[0105] In this technical solution, the third mounting position 115 is used to install the heating plate 250, and the third mounting position 115 is panel-shaped, which is particularly suitable for installing the heating plate 250 with a large area.

[0106] In this technical solution, by determining the shapes of the first mounting area 111, the second mounting area 112, and the third mounting position 115, a bracket 100 can simultaneously fix the heat block, the heating element, and the heating plate. This allows a bracket 100 to fix different types of heating elements, greatly improving the versatility of the bracket 100. During the electrical assembly process, it is not necessary to select a suitable bracket 100 for each heating element. The bracket 100 provided in this application embodiment can be used to install and fix the heating elements, thereby improving heating efficiency.

[0107] In this technical solution, considering the large volume of the heating plate, the second side of the mounting base 110 is used as the surface for fixing the heating plate. The heating block and heating tube are small in volume, so the heating block and heating tube can be fixed on the same surface of the mounting base 110, which can improve the space utilization efficiency of the mounting base 110.

[0108] like Figures 8 to 10 As shown, a beverage machine is provided according to a second aspect of the embodiments of this application, including: a bracket 100 as described in any of the above technical solutions.

[0109] The beverage machine provided in this application embodiment includes the bracket 100 of the above-mentioned technical solution, and therefore the beverage machine has all the intended effects of the bracket 100 of the above-mentioned technical solution.

[0110] In some examples, the beverage machine also includes: a body, with a support 100 connected to the body; and a heating element 200 disposed on the support 100.

[0111] In this technical solution, the beverage machine also includes a body and a heating component 200. During the operation of the beverage machine, the heating component 200 is used to heat the liquid to achieve the brewing and preparation of the beverage. The heating component 200 is installed on the bracket 100, which can ensure the fixed strength of the heating component 200, and at the same time suppress the heat dissipation of the heating component 200, thereby improving the heating efficiency of the heating component 200.

[0112] like Figures 8 to 10 As shown, in some examples, the heating assembly 200 includes: a heating block 230 connected to the mounting base 110 and located in a first mounting area 111; and / or a heating tube 240 connected to the mounting base 110 and located in a second mounting area 112; and / or a heating plate 250 connected to a third mounting position 115 of the bracket 100.

[0113] In this technical solution, the heating component 200 may include one or more of the following: a heating block 230, a heating tube 240, and a heating plate 250.

[0114] When the heating component 200 includes one of the heating block 230, heating tube 240 and heating plate 250, during the assembly of multiple beverage machines, if the types of heating components required by the multiple beverage machines are different, all beverage machines can be adapted by a single bracket 100. During the assembly process, it is not necessary to select a bracket 100 that is compatible with a specific heating component, which can improve the equipment efficiency of the beverage machines. At the same time, it is not necessary to set up a separate bracket 100 for each heating component, which reduces management and storage costs.

[0115] When the heating assembly 200 includes multiple components such as the heating block 230, the heating element 240, and the heating plate 250, on the one hand, a beverage machine can heat liquids through multiple heating devices, which can improve heating efficiency; on the other hand, each heating device can independently heat the liquid, meaning that heated liquids can be output in multiple flow paths at the same time, allowing for the simultaneous brewing of multiple beverages, thus improving beverage preparation efficiency; furthermore, fixing multiple heating devices with a bracket 100 allows for a more compact layout of the multiple heating devices, suppressing heat loss and improving heating efficiency, while also increasing the space utilization within the machine.

[0116] In some examples, the beverage machine may also include a fluid supply pipe connected to the heating assembly 200 for supplying the liquid to be heated to the heating assembly 200.

[0117] In some examples, when the heating assembly 200 includes two or three of the heating block 230, heating element 240 and heating plate 250, each heating element is connected to a fluid supply pipe, so that each heating element can output the heated liquid independently.
