Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of cooking, and in particular to a grilling rod assembly and cooking equipment. Background Art

[0002] With the development of science and technology and the improvement of people's living standards, cooking equipment such as electric steamers and steam ovens are popular among consumers because they have autonomous baking functions and can meet users' needs for baking food.

[0003] In order to improve the convenience of baking food in the oven, some existing ovens are provided with a baking rod for inserting food in the cooking cavity. The prior art provides a baking rod, which includes a plurality of rod segments that are slidably arranged. When the baking rod is in use, two adjacent rod segments slide and unfold relative to each other to extend the baking rod; when the baking rod is not needed, the two adjacent rod segments overlap relative to each other to reduce the overall length of the baking rod and improve the storage stability of the baking rod.

[0004] The structure of this telescopic grilling rod may not fully extend when the grilling rod is extended, resulting in the grilling rod being unable to be stably installed in the cooking cavity, and there is a risk of the grilling rod falling during cooking. Especially for cooking equipment with a grilling rod driving motor, when the grilling rod is not fully extended, it is easy to cause the connection between the grilling rod and the grilling rod driving motor to be unreliable, which may cause the grilling rod to separate from the driving motor during rotation, causing the grilling rod to be thrown out and collide with the inner wall of the cooking cavity, thereby reducing the safety and reliability of the grilling rod and the cooking equipment. Summary of the invention

[0005] The object of the present invention is to provide a grilling rod assembly and a cooking device, so as to improve the reliability and safety of the grilling rod assembly and the cooking device.

[0006] To achieve this object, the present invention adopts the following technical solutions:

[0007] A grilling rod assembly, comprising a grilling rod and a supporting sheet, wherein the grilling rod comprises a first rod segment and a second rod segment, wherein the second rod segment can slide relative to the first rod segment to be located at a retracted position overlapping with the first rod segment and at an extended position extending relative to the first rod segment;

[0008] The support piece is movably mounted on the first rod segment. When the second rod segment is close to the extended position, the support piece can move toward the first rod segment to push the second rod segment to extend and lock it to the extended position; and the support piece can move away from the first rod segment to allow the second rod segment to retract to the retracted position relative to the first rod segment.

[0009] As an optional technical solution for a grill rod assembly, the first end of the support plate is rotatably connected to the first rod segment, and the second end of the support plate is a free end and is arranged along an extending direction toward the second rod segment so that the support plate can approach or move away from the first rod segment.

[0010] As an optional technical solution of the grill rod assembly, a plurality of support plates are arranged at intervals along the circumference of the grill rod, each of the support plates can rotate to a first close position close to the first rod segment, and a second end of at least one of the support plates is provided with a push structure;

[0011] When all of the support sheets are in the first closing position, the support sheets are spaced apart from the outer side wall of the grilling rod, and two adjacent support sheets have a gap along the circumference of the grilling rod, so that the second ends of all of the support sheets can be closed to the second closing position relative to the grilling rod and the pushing structure pushes the second rod section adjacent to the extended position to extend.

[0012] As an optional technical solution of the grill rod assembly, the grill rod assembly has a rotation limiting structure, which limits the first end of the support sheet in the first close position from rotating in a direction close to the grill rod, so that the second end of the support sheet can be bent and deformed relative to the first end under the action of an external force to abut against the second rod segment, and return to the first close position after the external force is removed;

[0013] When the support sheet is in the first closed position, the second end of the support sheet is located in the retraction path and abuts against the second rod segment along the extending direction.

[0014] As an optional technical solution of a grill rod assembly, all the support sheets include an arc-shaped main sheet portion, and at least one end of a portion of the main sheet portion facing the extending direction is provided with the push structure;

[0015] When all the support sheets are in the first close position, the outer side surfaces of all the main sheet parts jointly form a cylindrical surface, and adjacent main sheet parts have a first gap in the circumferential direction of the grilling rod;

[0016] When all the support sheets are in the second close position, the outer side surfaces of all the main sheet parts jointly form a frustum surface, and the small end of the frustum surface faces the extending direction of the second rod segment.

[0017] As an optional technical solution for a grill rod assembly, the main sheet portion is provided with overlapping grooves and overlapping convex edges on both sides along the circumference of the grill rod, respectively. When all the support sheets are in the first closed position, the overlapping convex edges are overlapped in the overlapping grooves of adjacent support sheets, and a second gap is provided between the overlapping convex edges and the groove side walls of the overlapping grooves.

[0018] As an optional technical solution of the grill rod assembly, a limiting protrusion is convexly provided on the groove bottom of the overlapping groove, and a limiting groove is provided on the inner side surface of the overlapping convex edge, and the limiting groove extends along the circumference of the grill rod. When all the support sheets are in the first close position, the limiting protrusion is located at one end of the limiting groove facing the second gap and is spaced from the other end of the limiting groove;

[0019] Alternatively, a limiting groove is provided at the bottom of the overlapping groove, and a limiting protrusion is provided on the inner side surface of the overlapping convex edge. The limiting groove extends along the circumference of the grilling rod. When all the supporting pieces are in the first approaching position, the limiting protrusion is located at one end of the limiting groove facing the first gap and is spaced apart from the other end of the limiting groove.

[0020] As an optional technical solution of the grill rod assembly, the second rod segment is provided with a push protrusion, and a push inclined surface is provided on the side of the push protrusion away from the extension direction of the second rod segment, and the push inclined surface is inclined from the first end to the second end in a direction away from the second rod segment;

[0021] The second end of the support sheet has a push structure. When the second rod segment is near the extended position, the support sheet moves close to the grilling rod to make the push structure slide along the push slope toward the first end of the push slope to push the second rod segment to extend.

[0022] As an optional technical solution of a grill rod assembly, the push structure has a frustum surface facing the grill rod, and when the push structure contacts the push protrusion, the extension direction of the frustum surface is consistent with the extension direction of the push inclined surface, so that the frustum surface is closely arranged on the push inclined surface;

[0023] And / or, the second rod segment is slidably inserted in the first rod segment, an elastic member is provided inside the second rod segment, the push protrusion can extend out of the second rod segment when the second rod segment is close to the extended position or be compressed and retracted into the second rod segment when the second rod segment is retracted to the retracted position, and the elastic member acts on the push protrusion and makes the push protrusion always have a tendency to extend outward.

[0024] A cooking device comprises the grilling rod assembly as described above.

[0025] As an optional technical solution for cooking equipment, a driving motor is arranged on the outside of an inner pot of the cooking equipment, and one end of the first rod segment away from the extending direction of the second rod segment is rotatably supported on the inner pot, and one end of the second rod segment facing the extending direction is pluggably connected to the motor shaft of the driving motor, so that the driving motor drives the grilling rod to rotate around the center line of the grilling rod.

[0026] Beneficial effects of the present invention:

[0027] The grilling rod assembly provided by the present invention has a first rod section and a second rod section that slide relatively to each other, so that the grilling rod assembly can extend the second rod section to the extended position when in use, and retract the second rod section to the retracted position relative to the first rod section when the grilling rod assembly is not in use, thereby reducing the overall length of the grilling rod assembly and improving the storage convenience of the grilling rod assembly; by providing a support sheet, and the support sheet can move toward the grilling rod to push the second rod section near the extended position to continue to extend, it can be ensured that the second rod section can be fully extended relative to the first rod section, avoiding the safety risk of the grilling rod falling off during use due to the second rod section not being extended in place; at the same time, the support member can lock the second rod section in the extended position by pushing along the extending direction toward the second rod section, so as to avoid the problem caused by the second rod section retracting relative to the first rod section during use of the grilling rod, and further improve the reliability and safety of the grilling rod assembly.

[0044] The present invention will be further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It is to be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present invention, rather than to limit the present invention. It should also be noted that, for ease of description, only parts related to the present invention, rather than all structures, are shown in the accompanying drawings.

[0045] In the description of the present invention, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the terms "connected", "connected", and "fixed" should be understood in a broad sense, for example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium, it can be the internal connection of two elements or the interaction relationship between two elements. For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0046] In the present invention, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, a first feature being "above" or "below" a second feature may include that the first and second features are in direct contact, or may include that the first and second features are not in direct contact but are in contact through another feature between them. Moreover, a first feature being "above", "above" and "above" a second feature includes that the first feature is directly above and obliquely above the second feature, or simply indicates that the first feature is higher in level than the second feature. A first feature being "below", "below" and "below" a second feature includes that the first feature is directly below and obliquely below the second feature, or simply indicates that the first feature is lower in level than the second feature.

[0047] In the description of this embodiment, the terms "upper", "lower", "right", etc., directions or positional relationships are based on the directions or positional relationships shown in the drawings, and are only for the convenience of description and simplification of operation, rather than indicating or implying that the device or element referred to must have a specific direction, be constructed and operated in a specific direction, and therefore cannot be understood as limiting the present invention. In addition, the terms "first" and "second" are only used to distinguish in the description and have no special meaning.

[0048] The present embodiment provides a grilling rod assembly, which can be applied to a cooking device to support food during the cooking process of the cooking device.

[0049] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, specifically, the grilling rod assembly includes a grilling rod 1, and the grilling rod 1 includes a first rod segment 11 and a second rod segment 12. The second rod segment 12 can slide relative to the first rod segment 11, so that the second rod segment 12 slides to a retracted position overlapping with the second rod segment 12 and an extended position extending relative to the first rod segment 11.

[0050] The grilling rod 1 has a supporting end and an insertion end that are arranged opposite to each other. When the grilling rod assembly is used, the grilling rod 1 is inserted into the food from the insertion end. Specifically, the end of the first rod segment 11 away from the extension direction of the second rod segment 12 is the supporting end of the grilling rod 1, and the end of the second rod segment 12 toward its extension direction is the insertion end. When the second rod segment 12 slides out relative to the first rod segment 11, the end of the second rod segment 12 away from the insertion end is slidably limited to the first rod segment 11 to prevent the two from being separated, that is, the end of the second rod segment 12 away from the insertion end forms a sliding limit end, and the end of the first rod segment 11 away from the supporting end forms a sliding extension end.

[0051] When the grilling rod assembly provided in this embodiment is applied to a cooking device, a driving motor is installed on the outside of the cooking cavity, the grilling rod 1 spans the cooking cavity of the cooking device, the support end is rotatably supported on one side of the cavity wall of the cooking cavity, and the insertion end is connected to the motor shaft of the driving motor, so that the driving motor drives the grilling rod assembly to rotate around the center line of the grilling rod 1, thereby driving the food inserted on the grilling rod 1 to rotate, so as to improve the uniformity of heating of the food during the baking process, and improve the cooking taste and cooking experience. In other embodiments, the two ends of the grilling rod 1 can also be fixedly supported on the opposite side walls of the cooking cavity.

[0052] The support end is detachably connected to the structure at the cooking cavity, and the insertion end is pluggably connected to the motor shaft, so that after cooking, the grilling rod assembly can be taken out of the cooking cavity to clean the grilling rod assembly for next use.

[0053] In this embodiment, the grill rod assembly also includes a support assembly, which includes at least one support plate 2, which is movably mounted on the first rod segment 11. When the second rod segment 12 is close to the extended position, the support plate 2 moves in a direction toward the first rod segment 11 to push the second rod segment 12 to extend and lock it to the extended position. The support plate 2 moves away from the first rod segment 11 to allow the second rod segment 12 to retract to a retracted position relative to the first rod segment 11.

[0054] That is, in the present embodiment, when the second rod segment 12 is not fully extended to the extended position, the movement of the support sheet 2 in the direction close to the first rod segment 11 can continue to push the second rod segment 12 to extend relative to the first rod segment 11, so as to avoid the problem that the inserted end of the second rod segment 12 is not firmly matched with the motor shaft or the support on the inner pot is unstable due to the second rod segment 12 not being fully extended, thereby ensuring that the grilling rod 1 can be fully extended into place when in use, thereby ensuring the stability and reliability of the matching between the grilling rod 1 and the motor shaft or the inner pot, and further ensuring the reliability of the use of the grilling rod assembly; at the same time, the movement of the support sheet 2 in the direction away from the first rod segment 11 can solve the retraction restriction of the second grilling rod 1, so as to allow the second rod segment 12 to retract to the retracted position, thereby facilitating the removal and storage of the grilling rod 1 from the cooking cavity.

[0055] That is, in the cooking device provided by the present invention, since the grilling rod 1 has the first rod section 11 and the second rod section 12 which slide relatively, the grilling rod assembly can extend the second rod section 12 to the extended position when in use, and retract the second rod section 12 to the retracted position relative to the first rod section 11 when the grilling rod assembly is not in use, thereby reducing the overall length of the grilling rod assembly and improving the storage convenience of the grilling rod assembly; by providing the support sheet 2, and the support sheet 2 can move toward the grilling rod 1 to push the second rod section 12 which is close to the extended position to continue to extend, it can ensure that the second rod section 12 can be fully extended relative to the first rod section 11, avoiding the safety risk of the grilling rod 1 falling off during use due to the second rod section 12 not being extended in place; at the same time, the support sheet 2 can lock the second rod section 12 in the extended position by pushing along the extending direction toward the second rod section 12, which can avoid the problem caused by the second rod section 12 retracting relative to the first rod section 11 during use of the grilling rod 1, and further improve the reliability and safety of the grilling rod assembly.

[0056] It is worth noting that the matching structure of the grilling rod 1, the driving motor and the cooking cavity can be set with reference to the prior art, which is not the focus of this embodiment and will not be described in detail. Usually, the end of the motor shaft is coaxially connected with a mounting sleeve, and the insertion end is inserted into the mounting sleeve to achieve a detachable connection between the motor shaft and the grilling rod 1.

[0057] In order to improve the installation and operation convenience of the support sheet 2, in this embodiment, the first end of the support sheet 2 is rotatably connected to the first rod segment 11, and the second end of the support sheet 2 is a free end and extends in the extension direction toward the second rod segment 12, so that the support sheet 2 can be rotated close to or away from the first rod segment 11. The support sheet 2 is rotatably arranged on the first rod segment 11, which is conducive to simplifying the installation structure of the support sheet 2 on the first rod segment 11. At the same time, when the support sheet 2 moves away from the first rod segment 11, the distance between the support sheet 2 and the first rod segment 11 can be larger, thereby effectively preventing the support sheet 2 from interfering with the retraction of the second rod segment 12 relative to the first rod segment 11.

[0058] In another embodiment, the first end of the support sheet 2 can be fixedly mounted on the first rod segment 11. The support sheet 2 is an elastic structure. When there is no external force, the support sheet 2 remains in an avoidance state to avoid the retraction of the second rod segment 12. When the external force squeezes the support sheet 2 in the direction toward the first rod segment 11, the support sheet 2 moves toward the first rod segment 11 to push the first rod segment 11 to the extended position and lock the first rod segment 11 in the extended position.

[0059] In another embodiment, the support sheet 2 can also be slidably disposed on the first rod segment 11, and the support sheet 2 can slide in a direction away from the first rod segment 11, so that the support sheet 2 is in an avoidance state to avoid the retraction of the second rod segment 12; the sliding of the support sheet 2 toward the first rod segment 11 can make the support sheet 2 in a position to restrict the retraction of the first rod segment 11.

[0060] In this embodiment, a plurality of support sheets 2 are arranged at intervals along the circumference of the grilling rod 1, and each support sheet 2 can rotate to a first approaching position close to the first rod segment 11, and a second end of at least one support sheet 2 is provided with a pushing structure 261; when all the support sheets 2 are in the first approaching position, the support sheets 2 are arranged at intervals from the outer side walls of the grilling rod 1, and two adjacent support sheets 2 have a gap along the circumference of the grilling rod 1, so that the second ends of all the support sheets 2 can be closed to the second approaching position relative to the grilling rod 1 and the pushing structure 261 pushes the second rod segment 12 near the extended position to extend.

[0061] That is, in the present embodiment, a plurality of support sheets 2 are arranged at intervals along the circumference of the grilling rod 1, so that the plurality of support sheets 2 can partially or completely wrap the first rod segment 11, making the grilling rod assembly simpler in appearance, and avoiding the problem that a single support sheet 2 partially protrudes from the grilling rod 1, resulting in poor comfort for users to hold the grilling rod assembly, thereby improving the user experience of the grilling rod assembly; at the same time, when all the support sheets 2 are in the first approaching position, the user can squeeze the support sheets 2 in the direction toward the grilling rod 1 by further gripping the outer wall of the support assembly, so that the pushing structure 261 on some of the support sheets 2 can push the second grilling rod 1 to extend to the extended position, thereby making the operation of the support sheet 2 pushing the grilling rod 1 convenient and reliable; furthermore, arranging the pushing structure 261 at the second end of the support sheet 2 can simplify the structure of the support sheet 2 and reduce the influence of the support sheet 2 on the movement of the second rod segment 12.

[0062] It is worth mentioning that when the grilling rod assembly is in use, there is a situation where the second rod segment 12 cannot be fully extended relative to the first grilling rod 1. At this time, the second rod segment 12 can be pushed to continue to extend to the extended position by squeezing the support sheet 2 in the direction toward the grilling rod 1 to ensure the normal and reliable use of the grilling rod 1; at the same time, there is also a situation where the second rod segment 12 is directly extended relative to the first rod segment 11, that is, the second rod segment 12 can be directly fully extended to the extended position after being extended. At this time, there is no need to squeeze the support sheet 2 again, or the support sheet 2 can be squeezed in the direction toward the grilling rod 1 to ensure that the second rod segment 12 can be fully extended to the extended position relative to the first rod segment 11.

[0063] That is, in this embodiment, the purpose of the support sheet 2 moving in the direction toward the first rod segment 11 is to ensure that the second rod segment 12 is in an extended position relative to the first rod segment 11. It does not mean that when the second rod segment 12 is extended relative to the first rod segment 11, the second rod segment 12 will inevitably stay in a position close to the extended position.

[0064] For the convenience of subsequent description, when all the support pieces 2 are in the first close position, the state of the support assembly is called the folded state, and when all the support pieces 2 are spread apart relative to the first rod segment 11, the state is called the spread state.

[0065] That is, the grilling rod assembly provided in this embodiment has a first use state, a second use state and a storage state: when the second rod section 12 is in an extended position and the support assembly is in a retracted state, the grilling rod assembly is in the first use state; when the second rod section 12 is in an extended position and the support assembly is in an extended state, the grilling rod assembly is in the second use state; when the second rod section 12 is in a retracted position and the support assembly is in a retracted state, the grilling rod assembly is in the storage state. When the grilling rod assembly is in the second use state, the second end of the support sheet 2 can abut against the outer surface of the food to limit the movement of the food along the grilling rod.

[0066] Preferably, when the grilling rod assembly is in the storage state, the second rod segment 12 is completely located in the space formed by the folded supporting assembly, so as to cover and protect the grilling rod 1 .

[0067] like Figures 3 to 5 As shown, all the support sheets 2 have an arc-shaped main sheet portion 21. When all the support sheets 2 are in the first close position, the outer side surfaces of all the main sheet portions 21 form a cylindrical surface together, and the inner side surface of the main sheet portion 21 is spaced apart from the outer side surface of the grilling rod 1. As a result, when the support assembly is in the folded state, the appearance of the support assembly is relatively simple and has fewer edges, which is conducive to the user to hold and squeeze the support sheet 2, further improving the convenience of operation; at the same time, under this arrangement, the overall appearance structure of the grilling rod assembly in the storage state is simple and beautiful.

[0068] When all the support pieces 2 move to the second close position against the grilling rod 1, the outer side surfaces of all the main pieces 21 jointly form a frustum, and the small end of the frustum faces the extension direction of the second rod section 12. This arrangement enables the second end of the support piece 2 to move toward the grilling rod 1 to a greater extent than the first end of the support piece 2 to move toward the grilling rod 1 when the support piece 2 moves from the first close position to the second close position, which is beneficial for the user to squeeze the support piece 2 to the second close position by holding the support assembly, thereby improving the user's comfort in holding the support piece 2.

[0069] Furthermore, the grill rod assembly has a rotation limiting structure, which limits the first end of the support sheet 2 in the first approaching position from rotating in a direction close to the grill rod 1, so that the second end of the support sheet 2 can be bent and deformed relative to the first end under the action of an external force until it abuts against the second rod segment 12, and returns to the first approaching position after the external force is removed; when the support sheet 2 is in the first approaching position, the second end of the support sheet 2 is located in the retraction path and abuts against the second rod segment 12 along the extending direction.

[0070] The above arrangement enables the support sheet 2 to rotate to the first approaching position when the support sheet 2 as a whole is approached relative to the first rod segment 11, at which time the inner side surface of the support sheet 2 is spaced apart from the outer side surface of the first rod segment 11; when the user holds the support sheet 2 tightly, the first end of the support sheet 2 is limited, and the second end of the support sheet 2 can continue to rotate toward the direction of the first rod segment 11, so that the support sheet 2 as a whole is slightly deformed, so that the second end of the support sheet 2 can push the second rod segment 12 to continue to extend outward, and the outer peripheral surface formed by the multiple main sheet portions 21 is converted from a cylindrical surface to a frustum surface; when the user releases the support sheet 2, the support sheet 2 returns to the first approaching position under the action of its own structural elasticity, so that the support assembly can be enclosed to form a cylindrical structure when there is no external force.

[0071] In other embodiments, the grill rod assembly may not be provided with a rotation limiting structure, that is, the support sheet 2 can be rotated as a whole from the first close position to the grill rod 1 to the second close position and maintained at the second close position.

[0072] In order to improve the convenience of the support sheet 2 in pushing and limiting the second rod segment 12, in this embodiment, the second rod segment 12 is protrudingly provided with a pushing protrusion 122, and the second end of the support sheet 2 has a pushing structure 261. When the second rod segment 12 is extended relative to the first rod segment 11 to a position close to the extension position, the pushing protrusion 122 protrudes from the outer side wall of the second rod segment 12, and the second end of the support sheet 2 moves toward the first rod segment 11, so that the pushing structure 261 pushes the pushing protrusion 122 along the extension direction toward the second rod segment 12, and when the second rod segment 12 is in the extension position, the pushing structure 261 abuts against the pushing protrusion 122 to limit the retraction of the second rod segment 12. By providing the pushing protrusion 122 protruding from the outer side wall of the second rod segment 12, the convenience of the support sheet 2 in pushing and limiting the second rod segment 12 can be improved.

[0073] like Figures 4 to 6 As shown, specifically, the second rod segment 12 includes a rod body 121 , which extends along the extension direction of the first rod segment 11 and slidably cooperates with the first rod segment 11 , and the rod body 121 is provided with the above-mentioned push protrusion 122 .

[0074] In this embodiment, the rod body 121 is slidably inserted in the first rod segment 11. When the rod body 121 slides to the retracted position, the rod body 121 retracts until most of the structure is located inside the first rod segment 11. When the rod body 121 is in the extended position, most of the structure of the rod body 121 extends outside the first rod segment 11, and the end of the rod body 121 away from the insertion end is limited to the end of the first rod segment 11 away from the support end. The sleeve arrangement of the first rod segment 11 and the rod body 121 allows the sliding connection structure of the first rod segment 11 and the rod body 121 to be located on the inner wall of the first rod segment 11, and the outer surfaces of the first rod segment 11 and the rod body 121 can be relatively smooth as a whole, which can reduce the edges and outer surface gaps of the grilling rod 1 when it is used and stored, which is conducive to the insertion of food by the grilling rod 1, and also conducive to the cleaning of the grilling rod 1, thereby improving the safety of the use of the grilling rod 1.

[0075] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the rod body 121 includes at least two slidably connected sub-rods 1211, two adjacent sub-rods 1211 are slidably sleeved inside and outside, and the outermost sub-rod 1211 is slidably installed inside the first rod section 11. This structural setting of the rod body 121 can ensure the overall length of the grilling rod 1 when in use, while further reducing the overall length of the grilling rod 1 in the retracted state, thereby improving the storage convenience of the grilling rod 1. In other embodiments, the rod body 121 of the rod body 121 can also be set as a non-telescopic structure as a whole.

[0076] When the rod body 121 is in the extended position, the two adjacent sub-rod portions 1211 are relatively extended until the rod body 121 is at the maximum length. When the rod body 121 is in the retracted position, the two adjacent sub-rod portions 1211 are relatively retracted until the rod body 121 has the minimum length.

[0077] Furthermore, when the rod body 121 is in the retracted position, the end of the innermost sub-rod portion 1211 is located outside the first rod segment 11, so that the entire rod body 121 can be extended relative to the first rod segment 11 by pulling out the innermost sub-rod portion 1211. Furthermore, any sub-rod portion 1211 is located outside the adjacent outer sub-rod portion 1211, and the end of the outermost sub-rod portion 1211 is located outside the first rod segment 11, so as to improve the convenience of extending the rod body 121.

[0078] Since the first rod section 11 and the rod body 121 are slidably sleeved, in order to prevent the setting of the push protrusion 122 from affecting the retraction of the rod body 121 relative to the first rod section 11, in this embodiment, an elastic member 123 is provided inside the rod body 121. The push protrusion 122 can extend out of the outer wall of the rod body 121 when the rod body 121 is close to the extended position, or be compressed and retracted into the inside of the rod body 121 when the rod body 121 retracts to the retracted position. The elastic member 123 acts on the push protrusion 122 and makes the push protrusion 122 always have a tendency to extend outward.

[0079] That is, when most of the structure of the rod body 121 is located inside the first rod segment 11, the push protrusion 122 retracts into the rod body 121 under the pressure of the inner wall of the first rod segment 11, and when the rod body 121 extends relative to the first rod segment 11, so that the push protrusion 122 extends outside the first rod segment 11, the first rod segment 11 releases the restriction on the push protrusion 122, and then the push protrusion 122 extends out of the outer wall of the rod body 121 under the elastic force of the elastic member 123, so that the push structure 261 on the support sheet 2 can act on the push protrusion 122. This arrangement can increase the size of the push protrusion 122 protruding from the outer wall of the rod body 121 while ensuring that the setting of the push protrusion 122 does not affect the extension and contraction of the second rod segment 122, thereby improving the convenience and reliability of the push structure 261 on the push protrusion 122, and at the same time, it can also prevent the setting of the push protrusion 122 from affecting the retraction of the rod body 121 relative to the first rod segment 11.

[0080] In this embodiment, the push protrusion 122 is disposed close to the sliding limit end of the second rod segment 12, thereby reducing the overall length of the support sheet 2. Further, the push protrusion 122 is disposed on the outermost sub-rod portion 1211.

[0081] In order to further improve the convenience of the pushing structure 261 pushing the pushing protrusion 122, a pushing inclined surface 1221 is provided on the side of the pushing protrusion 122 away from the extension direction of the second rod segment 12, and the pushing inclined surface 1221 extends from the first end to the second end in a direction away from the center line of the grilling rod 1. When the second rod segment 12 is in a position close to the extension, the support sheet 2 moves toward the first rod segment 11, so that the pushing structure 261 slides along the pushing inclined surface 1221 toward the first end of the pushing inclined surface 1221, thereby applying a pushing force along the extension direction to the pushing protrusion 122, so as to push the second rod segment 12 to extend to the extension position.

[0082] The setting of the push slope 1221 facilitates the sliding of the push structure 261 on the push slope 1221, so as to continuously apply a force along the extending direction to the push protrusion 122, thereby improving the convenience and reliability of the support sheet 2 pushing the second rod segment 12; at the same time, the setting of the push slope 1221 enables the push structure 261 of the support sheet 2 to abut against the push protrusion 122 at both the first approaching position and the second approaching position, so as to limit the retraction of the second rod segment 12 relative to the first rod segment 11, thereby improving the limiting reliability of the support sheet 2; furthermore, the setting of the push slope 1221 enables the sliding extended end of the first rod segment 11 to press the push protrusion 122 into the second rod segment 12 by pressing the push slope 1221, thereby improving the smoothness of the retraction of the second rod segment 12.

[0083] The angle between the push slope 1221 and the center line of the grill rod 1 is preferably 30° to 60°, so as to avoid the problem that the push structure 261 has a shorter outward push stroke for the second rod segment 12 when sliding along the push slope 1221 due to the angle being too large, and to avoid the problem that when the second rod segment 12 retracts, it is difficult for the first rod segment 11 to press the push protrusion 122 back into the second rod segment 12 through the push slope 1221; furthermore, this arrangement can avoid the problem that the angle is too small, so that most of the force applied by the push structure 261 to the push slope 1221 is converted into a force toward the center line of the second rod segment 12, thereby making it difficult to continue to push out the second rod segment 12.

[0084] Furthermore, the push structure 261 has a conical surface. When the support sheet 2 is in the first approaching position, the extension direction of the conical surface is consistent with the extension direction of the push inclined surface 1221, so that the conical surface fits against the push inclined surface 1221, thereby increasing the contact area between the push structure 261 and the push inclined surface 1221, thereby increasing the push and limiting effect of the push structure 261 on the push inclined surface 1221.

[0085] In this embodiment, all the support sheets 2 have the same structure, that is, all the support sheets 2 have the push structure 261, so as to improve the versatility and interchangeability of the support sheets 2. At least two push protrusions 122 are arranged at intervals along the circumference of the second rod segment 12, so as to improve the push effect of the support sheet 2 on the second rod segment 12 and improve the force stability when the second rod segment 12 is extended. In this embodiment, one push protrusion 122 is arranged on each of the opposite sides of the second rod segment 12, so as to simplify the overall structure of the second rod segment 12 and improve the convenience of setting the push protrusion 122. In other embodiments, only one push protrusion 122 may be arranged.

[0086] In order to further improve the convenience of setting the push structure 261, the end of the main sheet 21 away from the supporting end of the first rod section 11 is connected to the end head 26, and the end of the end head 26 away from the main sheet 21 forms the push structure 261. When all the support sheets 2 are in the first close position, the outer side surfaces of all the end heads 26 cooperate to form a frustum surface, the outer diameter of the frustum surface gradually decreases in the direction away from the main sheet 21, and there is a gap between adjacent end heads 26 in the circumferential direction of the grilling rod 1. This arrangement allows the support assembly to form a relatively pointed structure at the end portion 26 when it is in the retracted state, which is beneficial for ensuring that the inner diameter of the main sheet portion 21 can avoid the first rod segment 11, while allowing the end portion 26 to move toward the second rod segment 12 in a direction away from the main sheet portion 21, thereby reducing the gap between the push structure 261 and the outer side wall of the rod body 121 of the second rod segment 12, thereby reducing the size requirement for the push protrusion 122 to protrude from the outer side wall of the rod body 121, and improving the convenience of setting the push protrusion 122; at the same time, this structural arrangement of the end portion 26 allows the support sheet 2 to form a chamfered structure at the second end, which can avoid the formation of a relatively obvious step and edge structure between the second rod segment 12 and the support assembly when the support assembly is in the retracted state and the second rod segment 12 is in the extended position, thereby improving the convenience of using the grilling rod assembly.

[0087] like Figures 7 to 9 As shown, in order to improve the setting stability of the support sheet 2 in the first close position, the two ends of the main sheet 21 along the circumference of the grill rod 1 are respectively provided with overlapping grooves 211 and overlapping convex edges 22, and the overlapping convex edges 22 are protrudingly arranged on the main sheet 21 along the circumference of the grill rod 1. When all the support sheets 2 have the first close position, the overlapping convex edges 22 are overlapped in the overlapping grooves 211 of the adjacent support sheets 2. In this way, any two adjacent support sheets 2 are overlapped with each other inside and outside, ensuring that the support sheets 2 are stable in the first close position when there is no external force. The outer side surface of the overlapping convex edge 22 and the outer side surface of the main sheet 21 are located on the same arc surface.

[0088] There is a first gap between two adjacent main sheet portions 21, and a second gap between the overlapping convex edge 22 and the groove side wall of the overlapping groove 211, so that when the support sheet 2 moves to the second closed position, the two adjacent support sheets 2 can be closed along the circumference of the grilling rod 1 to avoid mutual interference between the support sheets 2; at the same time, the overlapping convex edge 22 slides along the groove wall of the overlapping groove 211 to facilitate the guidance of the two adjacent support sheets 2 when they are closed, and better ensure that all support sheets 2 can move from the first closed position to the second closed position at the same time.

[0089] In this embodiment, a limiting protrusion 24 is convexly provided at the bottom of the overlapping groove 211, and a limiting groove 25 is provided on the inner side surface of the overlapping convex edge 22. The limiting groove 25 extends along the circumference of the grilling rod 1. When all the support sheets 2 are in the first close position, the limiting protrusion 24 is located at one end of the limiting groove 25 facing the second gap and is spaced from the other end of the limiting groove 25. This arrangement can prevent the support sheet 2 in the first close position from opening outward relative to the grilling rod 1 through the cooperation between the limiting protrusion 24 and the limiting groove 25, which is conducive to ensuring the stability of the support sheet 2 in the first close position; at the same time, the overlapping convex edge 22 can be slidably arranged in the limiting groove 25 along the circumference of the grilling rod 1, so that the cooperation between the limiting protrusion 24 and the limiting groove 25 will not affect the movement of the support sheet 2 in the direction toward the grilling rod 1, and can prevent the limiting protrusion 24 from falling out of the limiting groove 25 when the support sheet 2 moves toward the second close position.

[0090] In other embodiments, a limiting groove 25 is provided at the bottom of the overlapping groove 211, and a limiting protrusion 24 is provided on the inner side surface of the overlapping convex edge 22. The limiting groove 25 extends along the circumference of the grilling rod 1. When all the supporting plates 2 are in the first approaching position, the limiting protrusion 24 is located at one end of the limiting groove 25 facing the first gap and is spaced apart from the other end of the limiting groove 25.

[0091] Preferably, the overlapping flange 22 is a long convex rib structure extending along the length direction of the support plate 2, and the size of the overlapping groove 211 in the length direction of the support plate 2 is adapted to the size of the overlapping flange 22 to increase the contact area between the overlapping flange 22 and the groove wall of the overlapping groove 211, thereby ensuring the limiting reliability of the two after the two are matched.

[0092] like Figure 6 and Fig.10 As shown, in order to improve the installation convenience of the support plate 2, a mounting ring 3 is protruded circumferentially on the outer wall of the first rod segment 11, the first end of the support plate 2 is rotatably mounted on the mounting ring 3, and a plurality of support plates 2 are arranged at intervals along the circumference of the mounting ring 3.

[0093] Furthermore, a rotating protrusion 23 is convexly provided at the first end of the main piece 21, and a mounting groove 31 is provided on the mounting ring 3. The mounting groove 31 is arranged one-to-one with the support piece 2, and the mounting groove 31 penetrates the inner and outer ends of the mounting ring 3 along the radial direction of the mounting ring 3. The rotating protrusion 23 is rotatably installed in the mounting groove 31, and the main piece 21 is located outside the mounting groove 31. The width of the main piece 21 along the circumferential direction of the grilling rod 1 is greater than the width of the mounting groove 31 along the circumferential direction, so as to reduce the size of the rotating protrusion 23 while ensuring the size of the main piece 21 along the circumferential direction of the grilling rod 1, so as to reduce the size requirements of the mounting groove 31 and the mounting ring 3.

[0094] Preferably, the mounting ring 3 is detachably sleeved on the first rod segment 11 to realize the overall disassembly and assembly of the support assembly on the first rod segment 11, thereby improving the convenience of assembling, disassembling and cleaning the grill rod assembly.

[0095] Specifically, the first rod section 11 includes a main rod portion 111, a mounting rod portion 112 and a holding rod portion 113 which are connected in sequence. The main rod portion 111 is slidably matched with the second rod section 12, and the cross-sectional area of ​​the main rod portion 111 is smaller than the cross-sectional area of ​​the inner ring of the mounting ring 3, so that the main rod portion 111 can move through the mounting ring 3 to move the mounting ring 3 to the outside of the mounting rod portion 112 and be detachably connected to the mounting rod portion 112; a limiting step surface is formed between the holding rod portion 113 and the mounting rod portion 112 toward the extending direction of the second rod section 12, and the mounting ring 3 abuts against the limiting step surface to limit the position of the mounting ring 3 in the extending direction of the first rod section 11, thereby improving the assembly convenience of the support assembly and the grill rod 1.

[0096] Preferably, the mounting rod 112 is a screw structure, the inner ring of the mounting ring 3 has an internal thread, and the mounting ring 3 is screwed onto the mounting rod 112. In other embodiments, the mounting ring 3 can also be screwed, snap-fitted, or interference-fitted with the mounting rod 112.

[0097] In order to further improve the use convenience of the grill rod 1, a main temperature measuring component 4 is arranged inside the second rod section 12. The main temperature measuring component 4 is used to detect the temperature of food during the cooking process, thereby facilitating the cooking device to control the cooking process and further improving the cooking experience.

[0098] Furthermore, an auxiliary temperature measuring component 5 is provided at the second end of the support plate 2. Thus, when the support plate 2 is opened relative to the grill rod 1, the second end of the support plate 2 can be located outside the food and contact the outer side of the food, thereby detecting the temperature of the outside of the food, realizing multi-point temperature measurement of the food, and improving the reliability of food temperature measurement.

[0099] This embodiment also provides a cooking device, including the above-mentioned grilling rod assembly, when the second rod section 12 is in the extended position, the grilling rod 1 spans the cooking cavity of the cooking device. The cooking device provided by this embodiment can improve the reliability of the cooking device by adopting the above-mentioned grilling rod assembly.

[0100] Furthermore, a driving motor is provided on the outside of the inner pot, and the supporting end of the grilling rod 1 is rotatably supported on a side wall of the inner pot. The end of the second rod segment 12 away from the first rod segment 11 is connected to the driving motor, so that the driving motor can drive the grilling rod 1 to rotate around its own center line, thereby improving the cooking taste of food and enhancing the cooking experience.

For those skilled in the art, various obvious changes, readjustments and substitutions can be made without departing from the protection scope of the present invention.
