DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0028] The following is a further detailed description of the implementation of the present utility model in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and examples. The following examples are used to illustrate the present utility model, but cannot be used to limit the scope of the present utility model.

[0029] In the description of the embodiments of the present utility model, it should be noted that the terms "center", "longitudinal", "lateral", "upper", "lower", "front", "back", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inside", "outside" and the like indicate positions or positional relationships based on the positions or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing the embodiments of the present utility model and simplifying the description, rather than indicating or implying that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore cannot be understood as limiting the embodiments of the present utility model. In addition, the terms "first", "second", and "third" are used for descriptive purposes only and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0030] In the description of the embodiments of the present utility model, it should be noted that, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the terms "connected" and "connection" 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 directly connected or indirectly connected through an intermediate medium. For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in the embodiments of the present utility model can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0031] In the embodiments of the present invention, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the first feature being "above" or "below" the second feature may mean that the first and second features are in direct contact, or the first and second features are in indirect contact through an intermediate medium. Moreover, the first feature being "above", "above" and "above" the second feature may mean that the first feature is directly above or obliquely above the second feature, or simply means that the first feature is higher in level than the second feature. The first feature being "below", "below" and "below" the second feature may mean that the first feature is directly below or obliquely below the second feature, or simply means that the first feature is lower in level than the second feature.

[0032] In the description of this specification, the description with reference to the terms "one embodiment", "some embodiments", "example", "specific example", or "some examples" etc. means that the specific features, structures, materials or characteristics described in conjunction with the embodiment or example are included in at least one embodiment or example of the utility model embodiment. In this specification, the schematic representations of the above terms do not necessarily refer to the same embodiment or example. Moreover, the specific features, structures, materials or characteristics described may be combined in any one or more embodiments or examples in a suitable manner. In addition, those skilled in the art may combine and combine the different embodiments or examples described in this specification and the features of the different embodiments or examples, without contradiction.

[0033] In the prior art, the coupler itself is made of fireproof materials, and due to cost constraints, the outer shell of the electrical appliance is generally made of non-flame-retardant materials. If a circuit fault occurs, such as a short circuit or overload in the conductive sheet of the coupler, resulting in excessive current or arc discharge, the coupler will ignite. At this time, the glue produced by the melting of the coupler will drip onto the outer shell of the product under the action of gravity, causing the outer shell to melt, affecting the safe use of the electrical appliance.

[0034] See also Figure 1The first embodiment of the utility model provides an electric coupler, including a base 100, a coupler body 200 and a protective member 300, wherein the coupler body 200 is fixed to the base 100; the protective member 300 is connected to the base 100, and the protective member 300 is located on one side of the coupler body 200; the protective member 300 forms a receiving surface 310 on a side close to the coupler body 200, and the receiving surface 310 includes a flame retardant material.

[0035] The protective member 300 forms a receiving surface 310 on one side close to the coupler body 200. When the coupler body 200 catches fire, the glue produced by the melting of the coupler body 200 drips downward under the action of gravity. At this time, the protective member 300 located on one side of the coupler body 200 blocks the glue from continuing to fall, and the receiving surface 310 catches the falling glue to prevent the glue from dripping onto the inner surface of the outer shell and damaging the overall shell and safety performance of the cooking appliance. Among them, the receiving surface 310 is limited to a flame retardant material, which has excellent high temperature resistance and corrosion resistance, and low flammability to suppress the spread of fire and ensure the safe use of the appliance.

[0036] It can be understood that by providing a protective member 300 on one side of the coupler body 200, it is possible to achieve a fire prevention effect without replacing the entire outer shell of the appliance with a flame-retardant material, thereby saving production costs; the receiving surface 310 is located on a side close to the coupler body 200, and can accurately catch the dripping glue; if the entire outer shell of the appliance is directly replaced with a flame-retardant material, not only is the cost high, but the dripping glue dripping down may also drip onto the wires or fixed structures between the outer shell and the coupler body 200, causing safety hazards; in contrast, the embodiment of the utility model provides a protective member 300 on one side of the coupler body 200, which not only saves costs, but also can more accurately catch the falling dripping glue to ensure safety.

[0037] It can be understood that a protective member 300 is provided on one side of the coupler body 200, that is, the electric coupler is installed on the housing of the electrical appliance, and when the electrical appliance is in working state, the protective member 300 is located below the coupler body 200. When a fire occurs, the melted glue of the coupler body 200 drips from top to bottom onto the receiving surface 310 of the protective member 300. The installation angle of the coupler body 200 on the electrical appliance housing can be designed according to actual needs. Accordingly, the position of the protective member 300 only needs to ensure that the protective member 300 is located below the coupler body 200 when the electrical appliance is in working state. In other embodiments, the protective member 300 can be provided in different directions of the coupler body 200, so that when the coupler body 200 is adjusted to different installation angles in order to adapt to different electrical appliances, at least one protective member 300 is located at the lower end of the coupler body 200 in the working state of the electrical appliance to catch the glue dripping when a fire occurs.

[0038] It can be understood that the glue dripping produced by the melting of the coupler body 200 is the dripping liquid produced by the melting of the plastic part (such as the coupler shell 210) on the coupler body 200 under the action of high temperature during fire.

[0039] It is understandable that the protective member 300 forms a receiving surface 310 on one side close to the coupler body 200, and the receiving surface 310 includes a flame retardant material. A flame retardant coating may be provided on the protective member 300, and the flame retardant coating forms the receiving surface 310, or the protective member 300 may be entirely made of flame retardant material to achieve a fireproof effect. Flame retardant material refers to a material that can effectively slow down the burning speed and reduce the spread of fire by adding specific chemicals or physical structures to slow down or prevent the burning process of the material when exposed to flames or high temperatures. In one embodiment, the flame retardant material may include plastics such as polypropylene and polyethylene, and flame retardants may also be added to these materials to improve the flame retardant properties. The flame retardant may be bromide, phosphate, etc.

[0040] It is understandable that the receiving surface 310 can be a concave arc surface, so that the glue drops gather at the lowest point of the arc surface to achieve a better receiving effect; the receiving surface 310 can also be a plane, and the embodiment of the utility model is not limited to this.

[0041] In one embodiment, the receiving surface 310 is inclined downward toward the base 100. The inclined receiving surface 310 can not only receive the dripping glue generated by the melting of the coupler body 200, but also change the flow direction of the dripping glue on the receiving surface 310. When the coupler body 200 is on fire, after the generated dripping glue drips onto the receiving surface 310, the dripping glue will flow along the inclined receiving surface 310 to the angle between the receiving surface 310 and the base 100, preventing the dripping glue on the receiving surface 310 from flowing in a direction away from the base 100, effectively controlling the dripping glue on the receiving surface 310, preventing the dripping glue from overflowing, and keeping the interior of the appliance safe and tidy. In addition, the receiving surface 310 is inclined, which can extend the flow path of the dripping glue, thereby increasing the time for the dripping glue to flow on the receiving surface 310, which is conducive to the solidification of the dripping glue on the receiving surface 310, and preventing the dripping glue from flowing out of the protective member 300, causing safety hazards.

[0042] See also Figure 1 In one embodiment, the protective member 300 is a plate body, and a guard plate 320 is provided at the end of the protective member 300 to prevent the fluid passing through the coupler body 200 from flowing to the outside of the protective member 300 .

[0043] It can be understood that the protective member 300 is a plate body, and a receiving surface 310 is formed on the plate body; generally, the fluid passing through the coupler body 200 is a sol generated by the melting of the electric coupler when a fire occurs; the plate body, as a carrier of the dripping glue, can provide stable support; the processing of the plate body is convenient and simple, and the receiving surface 310 can be formed without additional processing, and the plate body occupies a small space and is easy to clean. A protective plate 320 can be set at either end of the protective member 300. The protective plate 320 plays a role of enclosure, which can prevent the dripping glue at the edge of the receiving surface 310 from flowing out of the protective member 300 and causing safety hazards. The protective plate 320 can be a straight plate for easy processing; the protective plate 320 can also be an arc plate, which can be arranged around the edge of the receiving surface 310 to prevent the flow of the dripping glue from multiple different directions. For example, two semicircular arc plates can be set, and the connection of the two protective plates 320 forms a cylindrical shape to limit the flow of the dripping glue on the receiving surface 310. The embodiment of the utility model does not impose any specific limitation on the number and shape of the guard plates 320 .

[0044] In other embodiments, the protective member 300 may also be a protective block, and a groove is provided on the side of the protective block close to the coupler body 200, the side wall of the groove forms a guard plate 320, and the bottom surface of the groove forms a receiving surface 310, which is conducive to receiving the dripping glue. The utility model does not particularly limit the specific shape of the protective member 300.

[0045] See also Figure 1 In one embodiment, two oppositely disposed ends of the protective member 300 are bent to form a protective plate 320 , and the protective plate 320 is connected to the base 100 .

[0046] The two opposite ends of the protective member 300 are bent to form a protective plate 320, which can form closed edges on the two opposite sides of the protective member 300, so that the glue dripping is kept within the receiving surface 310, preventing the glue dripping from spreading and causing safety hazards; the protective plate 320 is connected to the base 100, thereby improving the stability of the connection between the protective member 300 and the base 100. The protective plate 320 is an arc plate, which is beneficial to improving the stability and strength of the structure; in addition, the protective plate 320 is formed by bending the two ends of the protective member 300, which simplifies the processing technology.

[0047] For example, the two ends of the protective member 300 adjacent to the base 100 are bent to form protective plates 320, which limit the flow of the glue dripping out of the receiving surface 310 in the first direction (such as direction a in the figure). The receiving surface 310 is inclined downward toward the base 100, limiting the flow of the glue dripping out of the receiving surface 310 in the second direction (such as direction b in the figure), so as to prevent the glue dripping from overflowing the protective member 300 along the edge of the receiving surface 310; the first direction is the direction from one of the protective plates 320 to the other protective plate 320, and the second direction is the direction from the protective member 300 to the base 100.

[0048] See also Figure 2In one embodiment, a receiving gap 330 is formed between the receiving surface 310 and the coupler body 200, and the receiving gap 330 is used to accommodate the drip glue. The receiving gap 330 can be three millimeters to eight millimeters; when the drip glue drops on the receiving surface 310, the fluid drip glue accumulates on the receiving surface 310 and spreads to the surroundings; if the receiving gap 330 is too small, the coupler body 200 will squeeze the drip glue on the receiving surface 310, causing the drip glue to spread rapidly on the receiving surface 310, causing the risk of drip glue overflow; if the bearing gap is too large, the drip glue is easy to splash when it falls on the receiving surface 310, which is not conducive to controlling the drip glue on the protective member 300.

[0049] See also Figure 1 to Figure 2 In one embodiment, the area of ​​the receiving surface 310 is greater than or equal to the orthographic projection area of ​​the coupler body 200 on the receiving surface 310 .

[0050] It can be understood that due to the effect of gravity, the glue dripping generated by the melting of the coupler body 200 drips from the coupler body 200 to the receiving surface 310. The receiving surface 310 can cover the positive projection of the coupler body 200 on the receiving surface 310, which is beneficial for the receiving surface 310 to receive the glue dripping generated by the melting of the coupler body 200 and effectively prevent the glue dripping from splashing out; the dimension A of the receiving surface 310 in the first direction is greater than or equal to the dimension B of the coupler body 200 in the first direction, and the dimension C of the receiving surface 310 in the second direction is greater than or equal to the dimension D of the coupler body 200 in the second direction.

[0051] See also Figure 2 In one embodiment, the coupler body 200 includes a coupler housing 210 and a conductive sheet 220, and the conductive sheet 220 is disposed on the coupler housing 210. The base 100, the coupler housing 210 and the protective member 300 may be integrally formed.

[0052] The conductive sheet 220 can connect the power supply and the internal parts of the appliance, or the conductive sheet 220 can connect the input circuit and the output circuit; the coupler shell 210 is used to support the conductive sheet 220. Generally, the coupler shell 210 is made of flame retardant material; the base 100, the coupler shell 210 and the protective member 300 are integrally formed by injection molding. Compared with traditional processing methods, the injection molding process can greatly reduce production costs. The integral molding avoids multiple processing steps, saves manpower and time costs, greatly improves production efficiency, reduces production cycles, and realizes large-scale and batch production; the injection molding process saves materials and achieves high-precision molding. Because the mold has high manufacturing precision, the dimensional accuracy and surface finish of the molded parts can be guaranteed.

[0053] Generally, the coupler body 200 includes three conductive sheets 220, namely, the first conductive sheet, the second conductive sheet and the third conductive sheet; the first conductive sheet is used to connect the neutral line, the second conductive sheet is used to connect the live line, and the third conductive sheet is used to ground; during operation, the first conductive sheet and the second conductive sheet may have poor contact or overload, causing the coupler body 200 to catch fire, and then causing the coupler housing 210 to melt and produce glue dripping. Of course, the coupler body 200 can also include two conductive sheets 220, namely, the first conductive sheet and the second conductive sheet, to achieve the connection between the coupler body 200 and the live line and the neutral line. The embodiment of the utility model does not limit the number and distribution of the conductive sheets 220.

[0054] See also Figure 3 The base 100 is provided with a slot 211 on a side away from the coupler body 200 to facilitate connection with a power line; the end of the conductive sheet 220 passes through the base 100 and extends into the slot 211 .

[0055] See also Figure 4 A second aspect of the present invention provides a cooking utensil, including a housing 400 and an electric coupler, wherein the electric coupler is installed on the housing 400.
