Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of outdoor kitchen equipment technology, specifically an outdoor kitchen. Background Technology

[0002] Outdoor activities often involve picnics such as barbecuing and steaming. When barbecuing or steaming food outdoors, various outdoor kitchen equipment is frequently used, such as outdoor kitchens, charcoal ovens, steamers, and frying pans. Among them, outdoor kitchens, also known as mobile kitchens, are used to store kitchen utensils such as pots, pans, and knives. They are essentially a stand or island with a countertop on top for food preparation, storage of utensils, and food placement. The kitchen also integrates a sink and various cooking equipment.

[0003] Outdoor kitchens in related technologies are generally equipped with awnings or canopies for sun and rain protection. This involves pillars connected to the outdoor kitchen, with a canopy attached to the top of the pillars. For example, Chinese patent application CN203953254U, entitled "Barbecue Cart," features a support rod connected to the vehicle body, with a rain and sun awning attached to the top of the support rod. Another example is Chinese patent application CN204617988U, entitled "Smokeless and Environmentally Friendly Barbecue Cart," which features a telescopic bracket connected to the vehicle body for placing tableware. The top of the telescopic bracket is fitted with a sunshade and rainproof cloth. The telescopic bracket consists of retractable telescopic rods, and the bottom of the telescopic bracket has a fixing bolt to prevent the telescopic rods from slipping when extended. Yet another example is Chinese patent application CN205053323U, entitled "Multifunctional Double-Extension Outdoor Mobile Kitchen," where a sunshade and rainproof umbrella are inserted into the main body, and the umbrella's pole is fixed to the ground.

[0004] The aforementioned outdoor kitchen technologies have the following drawbacks in actual installation or use: The canopy above the outdoor kitchen, used for rain and sun protection, requires climbing for installation due to the fixed height of the support poles or columns. This poses a risk of falls and the limited space at heights makes installation very inconvenient. While installing the rain and sun protection canopy on telescopic brackets or columns allows for lowering the brackets or columns to a lower position above the ground, the canopy still needs to be manually raised to a certain height after installation before securing the telescopic brackets or columns with bolts to prevent them from sliding down after extension. Therefore, at least two people are required for installation: one to lift and extend the telescopic brackets or columns with the canopy attached, and another to install the bolts. This makes the installation process laborious and cumbersome. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The technical problem to be solved by this application is to overcome the defects of the above-mentioned related technologies and provide an outdoor kitchen that does not require climbing to install during ceiling installation, avoids people falling from heights, and makes ceiling installation simple and labor-saving.

[0006] The technical solution of this application is to provide an outdoor kitchen with the following structure: including...

[0007] Kitchen island, with a work surface on top;

[0008] A canopy is installed above the kitchen island.

[0009] A lifting column includes a first component and at least one second component that extends and retracts axially relative to the first component. The first component is fixedly connected to the kitchen island, and the second component extends upward from the countertop and is connected to the ceiling.

[0010] A drive assembly includes a housing and a drive rod that extends and retracts axially relative to the housing. The housing is connected to either the first component or the second component, and the free end of the drive rod is connected to either the second component or the first component. The drive assembly also includes a drive mechanism that is tractively connected to the drive rod for driving the drive rod to extend and retract to move the second component relative to the first component, thereby making the height of the ceiling relative to the kitchen island adjustable.

[0011] In some embodiments, the work surface is provided with a through hole communicating with the interior of the kitchen island, the lifting column passes through the through hole and the first component of the lifting column is fixedly connected to the kitchen island.

[0012] In some embodiments, a lead screw and nut assembly is connected inside the housing, the lead screw and nut assembly is connected to the drive rod, and the drive mechanism is throttlely connected to the lead screw and nut assembly to drive the lead screw and nut assembly to move and extend the drive rod relative to the housing.

[0013] In some embodiments, the driving mechanism is a drive motor, which is connected to the lead screw and nut assembly for transmission, and the kitchen island or the lifting column is equipped with a lifting controller, which is communicatively connected to the drive motor; or

[0014] The driving mechanism is a crank handle, and the driving end of the crank handle is connected to the lead screw and nut assembly.

[0015] In some embodiments, the kitchen island includes a central island and two side frames respectively connected to both ends of the central island; there are two lifting columns, which are respectively connected to the two side frames, and the upper ends of the second components of the two lifting columns are respectively connected to the ceiling.

[0016] In some embodiments, the side frame includes a side cabinet connected to the central island and a grid frame connected to the side cabinet and extending toward the user side of the central island, with a fixed column connected to one end of the grid frame away from the side cabinet, and the lifting column connected to the side cabinet.

[0017] In some embodiments, the canopy includes a support frame connected to a second component of the lifting column and a tarpaulin covering the support frame.

[0018] In some embodiments, a telescopic component is connected to the bottom of the corner of the support frame, and the telescopic component includes a first tube connected to the support frame and a second tube slidably sleeved on the first tube. The lower end of the second tube is connected to the edge of the tarpaulin. The first tube and the second tube are respectively provided with positioning holes. When the second tube is in the extended state, the positioning hole on the second tube coincides with the positioning hole on the first tube, which is used for the connector to be inserted and locked.

[0019] In some embodiments, a transition block is fixedly connected to the top of the second component, and the transition block is fixedly connected to the support frame; the top of the transition block is provided with an inclined surface that fits against the support frame, and when the support frame is connected to the transition block, the height of the side of the canopy closer to the user is higher than the height of the side of the canopy farther from the user.

[0020] In some embodiments, both the first component and the second component are hollow tubular parts, and the second component is slidably sleeved on the first component. The housing and drive rod of the drive assembly are connected inside the first component along the height direction of the first component.

[0021] In summary, compared with related technologies, the outdoor kitchen proposed in this application has the following advantages: the lifting column connecting the roof and the kitchen island can be raised and lowered under the drive of the drive component, thereby adjusting the height of the roof relative to the kitchen island. Therefore, during the installation of the roof, the drive component lowers the lifting column to its lowest position, allowing the user to easily complete the roof installation while standing on the ground. After the roof is installed, the drive component then raises the lifting column to the appropriate height. Therefore, the installation of the roof in this outdoor kitchen does not require climbing, avoiding falls from heights, and only one person is needed to complete the installation, making the roof installation operation simple, convenient, and labor-saving. Similarly, in windy or rainy weather, the lifting columns can be lowered to a certain height via the drive assembly, thereby improving the roof's wind resistance. When cleaning or removing dust or snow from the roof, the lifting columns can also be lowered to a certain height for easier cleaning or snow removal. When this outdoor kitchen is placed outdoors and encounters rain or snow, the lifting columns can be lowered to a lower position, completely covering the work surface and preventing rain or snow from wetting it. Furthermore, the lifting columns connecting to the roof are fixedly connected to the kitchen island, forming a unified structure that facilitates outdoor transport. Attached Figure Description

"Below," "below," and "under" the second feature can mean that the first feature is directly below or diagonally below the second feature, or simply that the first feature is at a lower horizontal level than the second feature.

[0034] The present application will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0035] See Figures 1 to 7As shown, this application discloses an outdoor kitchen, also known as a mobile kitchen, which is placed outdoors for users to prepare, grill, or bake ingredients during outdoor meals. Its structure includes a kitchen island 1, which is the core component of the outdoor kitchen. The island 100 typically includes a central island 100, which is constructed from cabinets joined or assembled. A work surface 101 is provided on top of the island 1 for placing kitchen utensils and preparing ingredients. The cabinets of the island 1 can hold bowls, chopsticks, tableware, and built-in kitchen appliances such as ovens and steamers. Similarly, the work surface 101 of the island 1 is recessed to form a sink for convenient washing of vegetables or tableware. In other words, the kitchen island 1 of this embodiment possesses the basic functions of a related art kitchen.

[0036] The outdoor kitchen of the above embodiment has a canopy 3 above the kitchen island 1. This canopy 3 provides rain and sun protection, making the user more comfortable when preparing food. The canopy 3 is generally more than 2 meters above the ground. To facilitate the installation of the canopy 3, this embodiment also includes a lifting column 2 and a drive assembly. The lifting column 2 connects the kitchen island 1 and the canopy 3, and is used to adjust the height of the canopy 3 relative to the kitchen island 1. The drive assembly is connected to the lifting column 2 and is used to drive the lifting column 2 to rise and fall, thereby adjusting the height of the canopy 3. Specifically, see... Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the lifting column 2 includes a first component 200 and at least one second component 201 that extends and retracts axially relative to the first component 200. The first component 200 is fixedly connected to the kitchen island 1, and the second component 201 extends upward out of the work surface 101 and is connected to the ceiling 3. The drive assembly includes a housing 5 and a drive rod 500 that extends and retracts axially relative to the housing 5. The housing 5 is connected to the first component 200, and the free end of the drive rod 500 is connected to the second component 201. The drive assembly also includes a drive mechanism, which is tractively connected to the drive rod 500 for driving the drive rod 500 to extend and retract to move the second component 201 relative to the first component 200, so that the height of the ceiling 3 relative to the kitchen island 1 is adjustable.

[0037] In some other embodiments of the above-mentioned drive assembly, the housing 5 of the drive assembly can be connected to the second component 201, and the free end of the drive rod 500 can be connected to the first component 200. When the drive assembly extends or retracts, it can drive the second component 201 to move relative to the first component 200.

[0038] In this embodiment, the lifting column 2 connecting the outdoor kitchen canopy 3 and the kitchen island 1 is raised and lowered under the drive of the drive assembly, thus making the height of the canopy 3 relative to the kitchen island 1 adjustable. Therefore, when installing the outdoor kitchen canopy 3, the drive assembly drives the lifting column 2 to descend to the lowest height, allowing the user to easily complete the installation of the canopy 3 while standing on the ground. After the canopy 3 is installed, the drive assembly drives the lifting column 2 to rise, raising the canopy 3 to a suitable height. Therefore, the installation of the outdoor kitchen canopy 3 does not require climbing, avoiding falls from heights, and only one person is needed to complete the installation, making the installation operation simple, convenient, and labor-saving. Similarly, in windy or rainy weather, the drive assembly can drive the lifting column 2 to descend to a certain height, thereby improving the wind resistance of the canopy 3; when cleaning or removing dust or snow from the canopy 3, the lifting column 2 can also be driven to descend to a certain height, facilitating cleaning or snow removal operations. When this outdoor kitchen is placed outdoors and encounters rain or snow, the lifting column 2 can be used to lower the canopy 3 to a lower position, completely covering the work surface 101 of the kitchen island 1, preventing rain and snow from wetting the work surface 101. Furthermore, the lifting column 2, which connects to the canopy 3, is fixedly connected to the kitchen island 1, thus forming a whole with the canopy 3, lifting column 2, and kitchen island 1, facilitating outdoor transport.

[0039] In the above embodiment, the first component 200 and the second component 201 of the lifting column 2 are both hollow tubular components, and the second component 201 is slidably sleeved on the first component 200. The housing 5 of the drive assembly and the drive rod 500 are connected inside the first component 200 along the height direction of the first component 200. A lead screw and nut assembly is connected inside the housing 5 of the drive assembly. This lead screw and nut assembly is also called a lead screw and nut pair, linear drive mechanism, etc., and is a component of relatively mature related technology. The lead screw and nut assembly is connected to the drive rod 500, and the drive mechanism is driven to drive the lead screw and nut assembly to move and extend the drive rod 500 relative to the housing 5.

[0040] For example, see Figure 2 and Figure 5As shown, the second component 201 of the lifting column 2 consists of two parts that are slidably nested together. The inner part 201 is slidably fitted onto the outer side of the first component 200. The bottom of the first component 200 is fixedly connected to the kitchen island 1 by bolts or other fasteners. The screw nut assembly is axially arranged inside the first component 200 and includes a screw that is connected to the drive mechanism and a first transmission nut threaded onto the screw. The first transmission nut is fixedly connected to the middle tube of the lifting column 2. The lifting columns 2 are nested together. The intermediate tube can restrict the rotation of the first transmission nut, so that when the drive mechanism drives the lead screw to rotate, the first transmission nut drives the inner second component 201 to extend and retract axially; moreover, the outer side of the lead screw is also sleeved with a wire tube that rotates synchronously with the lead screw and can slide axially relative to the lead screw. The outer side of the wire tube is threaded with a second transmission nut, which is connected to the outermost or top second component 201 of the lifting column 2. Therefore, when the drive mechanism drives the lead screw to rotate, the two movable second components 201 extend and retract axially synchronously relative to the first component 200.

[0041] In other embodiments, the drive assembly can also be a linear drive mechanism based on related technologies such as an electric push rod or an electric linear actuator. Furthermore, in other embodiments, the number of pipes in the lifting column 2 and the maximum height when fully extended can be set according to the required height of the ceiling 3. Therefore, this application does not impose specific limitations on the number and length of the first component 200 and the second component 201, as long as they meet the purpose of vertical extension and retraction under the drive mechanism.

[0042] In the above embodiments, the drive mechanism of the drive component can be a drive motor 4 or a manually operated crank. Therefore, the lifting of the lifting column 2 can be electric or manual. When the lifting column 2 is electrically operated, the drive motor 4 is connected to the lead screw and nut assembly. Specifically, the shaft of the drive motor 4 is connected to the lead screw of the lead screw and nut assembly through a gearbox, so as to adjust the height of the ceiling 3 by electric drive, making the lifting of the ceiling 3 more effortless and convenient. Users can also configure a controller and a hand controller or remote control for the drive motor 4. That is, a lifting controller is set on the kitchen island 1 or the lifting column 2. The lifting controller is connected to the drive motor 4 to achieve remote control of the lifting of the ceiling 3, making the lifting operation of the ceiling 3 more intelligent. When the lifting column 2 is manually operated, the drive mechanism is a crank. The drive end of the crank is connected to the lead screw of the lead screw and nut assembly through a worm gear assembly. By cranking the crank, the lead screw can be rotated to realize the lifting adjustment of the ceiling 3, and the operation is relatively effortless.

[0043] In this embodiment, for ease of installation of the lifting column 2, see [reference needed]. Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, a through hole 102 communicating with the interior of the kitchen island 1 is provided on the work surface 101. The lifting column 2 passes through the through hole 102, and the lower end of the first component 200 of the lifting column 2 is fixedly connected to the kitchen island 1 by fasteners. This arrangement connects the lifting column 2 and the kitchen island 1 as a whole, which not only facilitates outdoor use or transportation, but also enhances the wind resistance of the lifting column 2 and the canopy 3. Specifically, side frames 103 are connected to both ends of the central island 100 of the kitchen island 1. Each side frame 103 includes a side cabinet 104 connected to the central island 100 and a wire frame 105 connected to the side cabinet 104 and extending towards the user side of the central island 100. A fixed column 106 is connected to the end of the wire frame 105 away from the side cabinet 104, and the lifting column 2 is connected to the side cabinet 104. In this embodiment, the user side of the central island 100 is the side where people stand on the central island 100 to prepare food.

[0044] For example, see Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, there are two lifting columns 2, arranged along the length of the outdoor kitchen. The two lifting columns 2 are respectively connected to the side cabinets 104 of the two side frames 103. The top of the side cabinets 104 has through holes 102 for the lifting columns 2 to extend from. The upper ends of the second components 201 of the two lifting columns 2 are fixedly connected to the bottom of the ceiling 3. In one embodiment, each lifting column 2 is driven by a set of independent housings 5, drive rods 500, and drive mechanisms. In another embodiment, each of the two lifting columns 2 has a set of housings 5 ​​and drive rods 500, but is driven by a single drive mechanism in conjunction with a transmission rod. In yet another embodiment, there are four lifting columns 2 arranged in two rows and two columns, each lifting column 2 having a set of housings 5 ​​and drive rods 500, but driven by one or two drive mechanisms in conjunction with transmission rods.

[0045] In some embodiments, see Figure 3 As shown, the canopy 3 includes a support frame 300 connected to the second component 201 of the lifting column 2 and a tarpaulin 301 covering the support frame 300. The tarpaulin 301 has the function of rain and sun protection, and the tarpaulin 301 covers the entire outdoor kitchen island 1.

[0046] In some embodiments, see Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, a connecting block 302 is fixedly connected to the top of the second component 201. The connecting block 302 is fixedly connected to the support frame 300 of the canopy 3 by fasteners. The top of the connecting block 302 has an inclined surface that fits against the support frame 300. When the support frame 300 is connected to the connecting block 302, the height of the side of the canopy 3 closer to the user is higher than the height of the side of the canopy 3 farther from the user. That is, under the connection of the connecting block 302, the canopy 3 presents an inclined state with the front higher than the back. This facilitates the sliding off of rainwater or dust from the top of the canopy 3 and makes it easier for the user to clean.

[0047] It is easy to understand that the canopy 3 of an outdoor kitchen generally has a downward-facing eaves, which provide shade and facilitate the downward drainage of rainwater from the canopy 3. In this embodiment, see... Figure 3 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, a telescopic assembly 6 is connected to the bottom of the corner of the support frame 300. The telescopic assembly 6 includes a first tube 600 connected to the support frame 300 and a second tube 601 slidably sleeved on the first tube 600. The lower end of the second tube 601 is connected to the edge of the tarpaulin 301. The first tube 600 and the second tube 601 are respectively provided with positioning holes 602. When the second tube 601 is in the extended state, the positioning holes 602 on the second tube 601 coincide with the positioning holes 602 on the first tube 600, which are used for the insertion and locking of the connector. The setting of this telescopic assembly 6 not only facilitates the fixing of the edge of the tarpaulin 301 to the support frame 300, but also forms an eaves around the perimeter of the tarpaulin 301 after the edge of the tarpaulin 301 is fixed to the second tube 601 of the telescopic assembly 6. It is understood that in this embodiment, connecting pins, ropes, or other connecting parts can be inserted into the positioning holes 602 that align the first pipe 600 and the second pipe 601, thereby fixing the position of the second pipe 601 relative to the first pipe 600. When disassembling the tarpaulin 301, the tarpaulin 301 can be easily removed from the telescopic assembly 6 simply by removing the connecting parts, making the operation simple and convenient.
