Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of toaster lifting devices, and in particular relates to a lifting device for a toaster and a toaster. Background Art

[0002] Toaster, also known as automatic bread slice oven or bread toasting machine in my country, is an electric cooker specially used for re-toasting sliced ​​bread. Using a toaster, you can bake bread slices into a brown color, and also make them more fragrant and taste better, which can increase your appetite. When toasting bread slices, first place the bread on the bread tray, and press down the exposed operating handle so that the bread tray overcomes the spring force and moves downward along the guide shaft. When the operating handle is pressed to the lowest position, the electromagnet at the bottom of the toaster is closed and energized. At this time, the electromagnet attracts the armature under the bread tray, so that the bread tray remains in the lowest position, and then the toaster works to toast the bread. When the toaster works for the set time, the electromagnet is powered off, and the bread tray lifts the bread to the set position under the spring force. The bracket and handle of the current toaster are directly connected, and the stroke of pressing the handle is equal to the stroke of the bracket. Therefore, after the bread slice is baked and the spring force resets the bracket, the bread slice remains in the toaster for more than 60 mm. As a result, the bread slice of the existing toaster usually extends less than 20 mm from the toaster mouth. When the bread slice extends less than 20 mm from the toaster mouth, consumers are easily burned by the heating end of the toaster when picking up the bread slice. Therefore, a mechanism is needed to enable the bread to extend to a position farther from the toaster mouth after the toaster is baked. At the same time, it is necessary to avoid increasing the movement stroke of the operating handle too much, so as not to increase the size of the toaster and the usage habits of consumers. Summary of the invention

[0003] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a lifting device for a toaster, aiming to solve the technical problem in the prior art that when a bread slice only extends 2CM out of the toaster mouth, consumers are easily burned by the heating end of the toasted bread when picking up the bread slice.
