Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of small household appliances, and particularly relates to a panel mechanism and a cooking appliance having the same. Background Art

[0002] At present, an operation panel is generally arranged on a cooking appliance, and a user can click on the operation panel to control the working state of the cooking appliance. Meanwhile, for better operation, the operation panel can swing, so that the operation panel can face the user, which makes it easier for the user to operate.

[0003] In the related art, the rotation of the operation panel adopts a rotating shaft structure, and a rotating fixed bracket matched with the rotating shaft is arranged inside the panel structure. A relatively large space needs to be arranged on the cooking appliance to avoid the rotating fixed bracket, which results in a relatively large size of the cooking appliance. Summary of the Utility Model

[0004] The main purpose of the utility model is to provide a panel mechanism and a cooking appliance having the same, so as to solve the problem of the relatively large size of the cooking appliance in the related art.

[0005] To achieve the above purpose, according to one aspect of the utility model, a panel mechanism is provided, including: a panel assembly, the panel assembly includes a panel structure and a mounting base, the panel structure is swingably connected to the mounting base and has an outward swing position away from the mounting base and a retracted position fitting with the mounting base; a swing connection structure arranged between the panel structure and the mounting base to enable the panel structure to be swingably arranged relative to the mounting base; a support structure arranged between the panel assembly and the mounting base and spaced from the swing connection structure; a hinge structure and a sliding structure, the hinge structure is arranged between the first end of the support structure and the panel assembly, the sliding structure is arranged between the second end of the support structure and the mounting base, or the hinge structure is arranged between the second end of the support structure and the mounting base, and the sliding structure is arranged between the support structure and the panel assembly; wherein, the sliding structure includes a chute and a sliding member, the chute extends along the transverse direction, and the sliding member can move in the chute.

[0006] Applying the technical solution of the present utility model, the panel assembly includes a panel structure and a mounting seat. The panel structure is swingably arranged on the mounting seat, and the panel structure has an outward swing position and a retracted position. A swing connection structure is arranged between the panel structure and the mounting seat, so that the panel structure is swingably arranged relative to the mounting seat. A support structure is arranged between the panel structure and the mounting seat and is spaced from the swing connection structure. A hinge structure and a sliding structure are respectively arranged at two ends of the support structure. The sliding structure includes a chute and a sliding member. The chute extends in the transverse direction, and the sliding member can move in the chute. Through the above arrangement, the swing connection structure enables the panel structure and the mounting seat to swing, and the support structure can support the panel structure. Specifically, when the panel structure moves from the retracted position to the outward swing position, the support structure can swing under the action of the hinge structure. At the same time, under the action of the sliding structure, the sliding member can move in the chute, and under the action of the swing connection structure, the panel structure can swing out. When the panel structure is in the retracted position, since the sliding member can move in the chute, the position of the support structure can be adjusted, so that the space occupied by the support structure is small. Therefore, the technical solution of the present application effectively solves the problem of the large size of the cooking appliance in the related art.

[0007] Further, when the panel structure is in the retracted position, the line connecting the first end and the second end of the support structure forms a first angle with the vertical direction. When the panel structure is in the outward swing position, the line connecting the first end and the second end of the support structure forms a second angle with the vertical plane. The first angle is smaller than the second angle. The above arrangement enables the support structure to support the panel structure when the panel structure is in the outward swing position.

[0008] Further, the first angle is greater than or equal to 0° and less than or equal to 15°. The setting of the above angle reduces the space occupied by the support structure in the transverse direction when the panel structure is in the retracted position.

[0009] Further, the panel structure also has an intermediate position between the retracted position and the outward swing position. When the panel structure moves from the retracted position to the intermediate position, the sliding member moves from the middle of the chute to the end of the chute and elastically abuts against the side wall and / or the end of the chute, so that the panel structure moves from the intermediate position towards the outward swing position. When the panel structure moves from the retracted position to the intermediate position, the sliding member can elastically abut against the chute. When the panel structure moves from the intermediate position to the outward swing position, elastic reset occurs between the sliding member and the chute, and then a force is applied to the panel structure through the support structure, so that the panel structure is more likely to move to the outward swing position.

[0010] Further, a sliding structure is provided between the second end of the support structure and the mounting base. A sliding groove is provided on the mounting base, and the notch of the sliding groove faces away from the panel structure. A stopper is provided at the notch of the sliding groove, and the stopper is in stop cooperation with the sliding member. The stopper can be in stop cooperation with the sliding member, thereby limiting the sliding member to prevent the sliding member from disengaging from the sliding groove. At the same time, the stopper is more likely to undergo elastic deformation, making it easier for the panel structure to move to the outward swing position or the retracted position.

[0011] Further, an avoidance notch is provided on the mounting base, and the support structure is passed through the avoidance notch. The provision of the avoidance notch can avoid the support structure, which can prevent the support structure from being arranged outside the panel structure, thereby avoiding occupying other spaces.

[0012] Further, the support structure includes a first connecting member, and the sliding structure is provided between the end of the first connecting member and the mounting base. The structure of the first connecting member is simple and easy to arrange.

[0013] Further, a column section is provided at the end of the first connecting member, and the sliding structure is provided between the column section and the mounting base. The provision of the column section can make the position of the sliding structure more stable.

[0014] Further, the panel mechanism further includes an elastic pushing member, and the elastic pushing member is provided on the mounting base and is in abutting cooperation with the column section. The elastic pushing member can provide a restoring force for the support structure, making it easier for the support structure to push the panel structure.

[0015] Further, the elastic pushing member includes a fixing portion and a pushing portion. The fixing portion is connected to the mounting base, and the pushing portion is in abutting cooperation with the column section. The fixing portion can make the position of the elastic pushing member more stable, and the pushing portion can be in abutting cooperation with the column section to apply an elastic restoring force to the column section.

[0016] Further, an arc-shaped contact portion is provided on the pushing portion, and the arc-shaped contact portion is in abutting cooperation with the column section, and / or the material of the pushing portion is metal. The contact area between the arc-shaped contact portion and the column section is larger, making the pushing effect on the column section better. At the same time, the metal material has better strength and is not prone to permanent deformation.

[0017] Further, the swing connection structure includes a groove and a plug-in member. The plug-in member is inserted into the groove and can move within the groove. One of the groove and the plug-in member is provided on the side of the panel structure facing the mounting base, and the other of the groove and the plug-in member is provided on the side of the mounting base facing the panel structure. The plug-in member and the groove can be in plug-in cooperation. When the panel structure swings, the position of the plug-in member in the groove changes, and the plug-in member is always in abutting cooperation with the groove, making it easier for the panel structure to maintain the outward swing position or the retracted position.

[0018] Further, the swing connection structure further includes an arc-shaped member and a communication hole. The arc-shaped member is inserted into the communication hole and can move within the communication hole. One of the arc-shaped member and the communication hole is provided on the panel structure, and the other of the arc-shaped member and the communication hole is provided on the mounting base. The arc-shaped member can move within the communication hole, that is, when the panel structure swings, the arc-shaped member can guide the swinging direction of the panel structure, thereby making the swinging direction of the panel structure more stable.

[0019] Further, the panel mechanism further includes a support member. The support member is provided on the side of the panel structure facing the mounting base. When the panel structure is in the retracted position, the support member is in supporting cooperation with the support structure. When the panel structure is in the retracted position, the support member can be in supporting cooperation with the support structure, which can prevent the panel structure from being over-retracted.

[0020] Further, a wire passing hole is provided on the panel structure and a guiding cylinder is provided at the wire passing hole. The guiding cylinder can protect the wire from being squeezed between the panel structure and the mounting base.

[0021] Further, a convex portion is provided on the side wall of the guiding cylinder, and a limiting portion is provided on the mounting base. The limiting portion is located beside the guiding cylinder. When the panel structure is in the retracted position, the convex portion and the limiting portion are arranged at intervals. When the panel structure is in the outward swinging position, the convex portion and the limiting portion are in abutting cooperation. The abutting cooperation between the convex portion and the limiting portion makes it easier for the panel structure to maintain the outward swinging position.

[0022] According to another aspect of the present application, a cooking appliance is provided, including an appliance body and a panel mechanism provided on the appliance body. The panel mechanism is the above-mentioned panel mechanism. Under the action of the swing connection structure and the sliding structure, the panel mechanism can occupy a smaller space, and thus the cooking appliance having the same also has the above advantages.

[0041] As Figures 1 to 5As shown in the figure, in this embodiment, the panel mechanism includes: a panel assembly 20, a swing connection structure 30, a support structure 40, a hinge structure 50, and a sliding structure 60. The panel assembly 20 includes a panel structure 21 and a mounting base 22. The panel structure 21 is swingably connected to the mounting base 22 and has an outward swing position away from the mounting base 22 and a retracted position in contact with the mounting base 22. The swing connection structure 30 is provided between the panel structure 21 and the mounting base 22 so that the panel structure 21 is swingably arranged relative to the mounting base 22. The support structure 40 is provided between the panel assembly 20 and the mounting base 22 and is spaced apart from the swing connection structure 30. The hinge structure 50 is provided between the first end of the support structure 40 and the panel assembly 20, and the sliding structure 60 is provided between the second end of the support structure 40 and the mounting base 22. Alternatively, the hinge structure 50 is provided between the second end of the support structure 40 and the mounting base 22, and the sliding structure 60 is provided between the support structure 40 and the panel assembly 20. Wherein, the sliding structure 60 includes a chute 61 and a slider 62. The chute 61 extends in the lateral direction, and the slider 62 can move within the chute 61.

[0042] Applying the technical solution of this embodiment, the panel assembly 20 includes a panel structure 21 and a mounting base 22. The panel structure 21 is swingably arranged on the mounting base 22, and the panel structure 21 has an outward swing position and a retracted position. The swing connection structure 30 is provided between the panel structure 21 and the mounting base 22, thereby enabling the panel structure 21 to be swingably arranged relative to the mounting base 22. The support structure 40 is provided between the panel structure 21 and the mounting base 22 and is spaced apart from the swing connection structure 30. The hinge structure 50 and the sliding structure 60 are respectively provided at both ends of the support structure 40. The sliding structure 60 includes a chute 61 and a slider 62. The chute 61 extends in the lateral direction, and the slider 62 can move within the chute 61. Through the above settings, the swing connection structure 30 enables the panel structure 21 and the mounting base 22 to swing, and the support structure 40 can support the panel structure 21. Specifically, when the panel structure 21 moves from the retracted position to the outward swing position, the support structure 40 can swing under the action of the hinge structure 50. At the same time, under the action of the sliding structure 60, the slider 62 can move within the chute 61, and under the action of the swing connection structure 30, the panel structure 21 can swing out. When the panel structure 21 is in the retracted position, since the slider 62 can move within the chute 61, the position of the support structure 40 can be adjusted, thereby reducing the space occupied by the support structure 40. Therefore, the technical solution of this embodiment effectively solves the problem of the large size of cooking appliances in the related art.

[0043] Specifically, in this embodiment, the slider 62 is a sliding column.

[0044] The articulated structure 50 includes an articulated shaft. A first articulated hole is provided on the support structure 40, and a second articulated hole is provided on the panel structure 21. The articulated shaft is inserted into the first articulated hole and the second articulated hole.

[0045] As Figures 1 to 5 shown, in this embodiment, when the panel structure 21 is in the retracted position, there is a first included angle between the line connecting the first end and the second end of the support structure 40 and the vertical direction. When the panel structure 21 is in the outward swing position, there is a second included angle between the line connecting the first end and the second end of the support structure 40 and the vertical plane. The first included angle is less than the second included angle. The above setting enables the support structure 40 to support the panel structure 21 when the panel structure 21 is in the outward swing position.

[0046] As Figures 1 to 5 shown, in this embodiment, the first included angle is greater than or equal to 0° and less than or equal to 15°. The setting of the above angle reduces the space occupied by the support structure 40 in the lateral direction when the panel structure 21 is in the retracted position. Specifically, in this embodiment, the first included angle is 5°.

[0047] As Figure 4 and Figure 5 shown, in this embodiment, the panel structure 21 also has an intermediate position between the retracted position and the outward swing position. When the panel structure 21 moves from the retracted position to the intermediate position, the slider 62 moves from the middle of the chute 61 to the end of the chute 61 and elastically abuts and cooperates with the side wall and / or the end of the chute 61, so that the panel structure 21 moves from the intermediate position towards the outward swing position. When the panel structure 21 moves from the retracted position to the intermediate position, the slider 62 can elastically abut against the chute 61. When the panel structure 21 moves from the intermediate position to the outward swing position, elastic reset occurs between the slider 62 and the chute 61, and then a force is applied to the panel structure 21 through the support structure 40, so that the panel structure 21 is more likely to move to the outward swing position.

[0048] It should be noted that the above elastic abutting and cooperating means that there is elastic deformation during abutment, that is, the elastic abutting and cooperating between the slider 62 and the chute 61 means that elastic deformation can occur when the slider 62 abuts against the chute 61.

[0049] Specifically, when the panel structure 21 is turned outward by 40° from the retracted position, the support structure 40 moves from a state close to the vertical state to an inclined state. At this time, the support structure 40 moves to the maximum distance. At this time, the slider 62 elastically abuts against the chute 61, thereby realizing a reaction force and enabling the panel structure 21 to have a driving force to continue to move to the outward swing position, and the panel structure 21 can also hover at this angle. The panel structure 21 is in the intermediate position when it is turned outward by 40°.

[0050] As Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 7 and Figure 8 shown, in this embodiment, the sliding structure 60 is arranged between the second end of the support structure 40 and the mounting seat 22. The sliding groove 61 is arranged on the mounting seat 22, and the notch of the sliding groove 61 faces away from the panel structure 21. A stop member 611 is arranged at the notch of the sliding groove 61, and the stop member 611 is in stop cooperation with the sliding member 62. The arrangement of the stop member 611 can be in stop cooperation with the sliding member 62, thereby limiting the sliding member 62 to prevent the sliding member 62 from disengaging from the sliding groove 61. At the same time, the stop member 611 is more likely to undergo elastic deformation, so that the panel structure 21 is more likely to move to the outward swing position or the retracted position.

[0051] Specifically, in this embodiment, as Figure 8 shown, anti-friction ribs are arranged on both the upper and lower side walls of the sliding groove 61, and the distance between the anti-friction ribs on the upper and lower side walls of the sliding groove 61 increases in the direction from the panel structure 21 to the mounting seat 22.

[0052] As Figure 7 and Figure 8 shown, in this embodiment, an avoidance notch 221 is arranged on the mounting seat 22, and the support structure 40 is arranged through the avoidance notch 221. The arrangement of the avoidance notch 221 can avoid the support structure 40, so as to avoid arranging the support structure 40 outside the panel structure 21, and further avoid occupying other spaces.

[0053] As Figures 1 to 5 shown, in this embodiment, the support structure 40 includes a first connecting member 41, and the sliding structure 60 is arranged between the end of the first connecting member 41 and the mounting seat 22. The structure of the first connecting member 41 is simple and convenient to arrange.

[0054] It should be noted that the first connecting member 41 is a plate-like structure.

[0055] As Figures 1 to 5 and Figure 9 shown, in this embodiment, a column section 411 is arranged at the end of the first connecting member 41, and the sliding structure 60 is arranged between the column section 411 and the mounting seat 22. The arrangement of the column section 411 can make the position of the sliding structure 60 more stable.

[0056] As Figures 1 to 5 and Figure 9 shown, in this embodiment, a plurality of concave portions 4111 are arranged at intervals on the column section 411. The arrangement of the concave portions 4111 can reduce the weight of the column section 411, thereby realizing a lightweight design.

[0057] As Figures 1 to 5 andFigure 10 As shown, in this embodiment, the panel mechanism further includes an elastic pushing member 70, and the elastic pushing member 70 is disposed on the mounting base 22 and abuts against the column section 411. The elastic pushing member 70 can provide a restoring force for the support structure 40, so that the support structure 40 can more easily push the panel structure 21.

[0058] As Figures 1 to 5 and Figure 10 shown, in this embodiment, the elastic pushing member 70 includes a fixing portion 71 and a pushing portion 72. The fixing portion 71 is connected to the mounting base 22, and the pushing portion 72 abuts against the column section 411. The fixing portion 71 can make the position of the elastic pushing member 70 more stable, and the pushing portion 72 can abut against the column section 411 to apply an elastic restoring force to the column section 411.

[0059] And since a plurality of recesses 4111 are provided on the column section 411, a convex rib is formed between two adjacent recesses 4111. When the support structure 40 moves, the column section 411 can move relative to the pushing portion 72. When the column section 411 moves relative to the pushing portion 72, the convex rib can abut against the pushing portion 72, so that the contact between the column section 411 and the pushing portion 72 can be more stable.

[0060] As Figure 10 shown, in this embodiment, the fixing portion 71 includes a first support plate 711 and a second support plate 712 which are spaced apart and a second connecting member 713 connected between the end of the first support plate 711 and the end of the second support plate 712. The end of the first support plate 711 away from the second connecting member 713 is in supporting cooperation with the mounting base 22, and the end of the second support plate 712 away from the second connecting member 713 is in supporting cooperation with the mounting base 22. The above arrangement can make the fixing effect of the fixing portion 71 better.

[0061] It should be noted that the second connecting member 713 is a plate body.

[0062] As Figure 12 shown, in this embodiment, an arc-shaped contact portion 721 is provided on the pushing portion 72, and the arc-shaped contact portion 721 abuts against the column section 411. The material of the pushing portion 72 is metal. The contact area between the arc-shaped contact portion 721 and the column section 411 is larger, so that the pushing effect on the column section 411 is better. At the same time, the strength of the metal material is better and it is not easy to undergo permanent deformation.

[0063] As Figures 4 to 8As shown, in this embodiment, the swing connection structure 30 includes a groove 31 and a plug-in member 32. The plug-in member 32 is inserted into the groove 31 and can move within the groove 31. The groove 31 is provided on the side of the panel structure 21 facing the mounting base 22, and the plug-in member 32 is provided on the side of the mounting base 22 facing the panel structure 21. The plug-in member 32 and the groove 31 can be plugged and matched. When the panel structure 21 swings, the position of the plug-in member 32 within the groove 31 changes, and the plug-in member 32 always abuts and cooperates with the groove 31, so that the panel structure 21 can be more easily maintained in the outward swing position or the retracted position.

[0064] When the panel structure 21 swings, taking the abutting point between the groove 31 and the plug-in member 32 as the rotation center, since the relative position between the plug-in member 32 and the groove 31 changes, the abutting point between the groove 31 and the plug-in member 32 changes, and the relative position between the panel structure 21 and the mounting base 22 changes. Since the relative position between the panel structure 21 and the mounting base 22 can change when the panel structure 21 swings, there is no need to reserve a large gap between the mounting base 22 and the panel structure 21 to ensure that there is no interference between the panel structure 21 and the mounting base 22.

[0065] When the panel structure 21 is in the outward swing position, the end of the plug-in member 32 abuts against the groove 31 at the first abutting position. When the panel structure 21 is in the retracted position, the end of the plug-in member 32 abuts against the groove 31 at the second abutting position. The distance a between the first abutting position and the upper edge of the panel structure 21 is less than the distance b between the second abutting position and the upper edge of the panel structure 21. The above setting enables the panel structure 21 to move downward when moving from the retracted position to the outward swing position, thereby increasing the distance between the panel structure 21 and the mounting base 22, and thus avoiding interference between the panel structure 21 and the mounting base 22.

[0066] The height of the groove 31 is greater than the thickness of the plug-in member 32. The above setting enables the plug-in member 32 to move within the groove 31.

[0067] The length of the top wall of the groove 31 is less than the length of the bottom wall of the groove 31. The length of the top wall of the groove 31 is less than the length of the bottom wall of the groove 31, so that the groove 31 can avoid the plug-in member 32 and prevent interference between the groove and the plug-in member 32 when the panel structure 21 swings.

[0068] The groove 31 is provided on the panel structure 21, and the plug-in member 32 is connected to the mounting seat 22. The plug-in member 32 includes a third connecting member, an inclined plate, and a contact plate. The first end of the third connecting member is connected to the mounting seat 22, the second end of the third connecting member is connected to the first end of the inclined plate, the second end of the inclined plate is connected to the contact plate, and the contact plate is higher than the third connecting member. The above settings enable the plug-in member 32 to further avoid the groove 31.

[0069] It should be noted that the third connecting member is a plate body.

[0070] In an embodiment not shown in the figure, the groove is provided on the side of the mounting seat facing the panel structure, and the plug-in member is provided on the side of the panel structure facing the mounting seat.

[0071] As Figures 4 to 8 shown, in this embodiment, the swing connection structure 30 further includes an arc-shaped member 33 and a communication hole 34. The arc-shaped member 33 is inserted into the communication hole 34 and can move within the communication hole 34. One of the arc-shaped member 33 and the communication hole 34 is provided on the panel structure 21, and the other of the arc-shaped member 33 and the communication hole 34 is provided on the mounting seat 22. The arc-shaped member 33 can move within the communication hole 34, that is, when the panel structure 21 swings, the arc-shaped member 33 can guide the swinging direction of the panel structure 21, thereby making the swinging direction of the panel structure 21 more stable.

[0072] A limiting portion is provided at the end of the arc-shaped member 33, and the limiting portion can be in stop cooperation with the panel structure 21 or the mounting seat 22. The limiting portion can limit the position of the arc-shaped member 33, thereby preventing the arc-shaped member 33 from disengaging from the communication hole 34. The arc-shaped member 33 includes an arc-shaped plate, and a relief groove is provided on the arc-shaped plate. The setting of the relief groove can be used for avoidance. The first end of the arc-shaped plate is connected to the panel structure 21, and the second end of the arc-shaped plate extends towards the end away from the panel structure 21. The above settings can enable the panel structure 21 to swing outwards.

[0073] As Figure 2 and Figure 3 shown, in this embodiment, the panel mechanism further includes a support member 80. The support member 80 is provided on the side of the panel structure 21 facing the mounting seat 22. When the panel structure 21 is in the retracted position, the support member 80 is in contact and cooperation with the support structure 40. When the panel structure 21 is in the retracted position, the support member 80 can be in support cooperation with the support structure 40, which can prevent the panel structure 21 from being over-retracted.

[0074] As Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 3 and Figure 6As shown, in this embodiment, the panel structure 21 is provided with a wire passing hole 211 and a guiding cylinder 212 disposed at the wire passing hole 211. The guiding cylinder 212 can protect the wire from being squeezed between the panel structure 21 and the mounting base 22.

[0075] Specifically, there is an obtuse angle between the axis of the guiding cylinder 212 and the front surface of the panel structure 21.

[0076] As Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 6 As shown, in this embodiment, a protrusion 2121 is provided on the side wall of the guiding cylinder 212, and a limiting portion 222 is provided on the mounting base 22. The limiting portion 222 is located beside the guiding cylinder 212. When the panel structure 21 is in the retracted position, the protrusion 2121 and the limiting portion 222 are spaced apart. When the panel structure 21 is in the outward swing position, the protrusion 2121 and the limiting portion 222 are in abutting cooperation. The abutting cooperation between the protrusion 2121 and the limiting portion 222 makes it easier for the panel structure 21 to remain in the outward swing position.

[0077] As Figure 11 and Figure 12 As shown, according to another aspect of the present application, a cooking appliance is provided, including an appliance body 10 and a panel mechanism disposed on the appliance body 10. The panel mechanism is the above-mentioned panel mechanism. Under the action of the swing connection structure 30 and the sliding structure 60, the panel mechanism can occupy a smaller space, and thus the cooking appliance having it also has the above-mentioned advantages.

[0078] In the description of the present utility model, it should be understood that the orientation or positional relationship indicated by orientation words such as "front, rear, upper, lower, left, right", "horizontal, vertical, perpendicular, horizontal" and "top, bottom" is usually based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the drawings. It is only for the convenience of describing the present utility model and simplifying the description. Without contrary description, these orientation words do not indicate and imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, so it cannot be understood as a limitation to the protection scope of the present utility model; the orientation words "inside, outside" refer to the inside and outside relative to the contour of each component itself.

[0079] For ease of description, spatial relative terms such as "above", "over", "on the upper surface", "upper" etc. may be used herein to describe the spatial positional relationship of one device or feature to other devices or features as shown in the figures. It should be understood that the spatial relative terms are intended to encompass different orientations in use or operation in addition to the orientation depicted in the figures. For example, if the device in the figures is inverted, a device described as "above" or "over" other devices or structures will then be positioned "below" or "under" the other devices or structures. Thus, the exemplary term "above" can include both orientations of "above" and "below". The device may also be positioned in other different ways (rotated 90 degrees or in other orientations), and the corresponding explanations for the spatial relative descriptions used herein will be made accordingly.

[0080] In addition, it should be noted that the use of terms such as "first" and "second" to define components is only for the convenience of differentiating the corresponding components. Without additional statements, the above terms have no special meanings, and thus should not be construed as limiting the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0081] The above are only the preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model.
