Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of kitchen utensils, in particular to an oven door opening and closing structure with a stable switch and enhanced locking function. Background Art

[0002] The switch structure of the oven door is crucial in kitchen utensils, and its design directly affects the use safety, operation convenience and overall service life of the equipment. For example:

[0003] 1. The traditional oven door structure usually realizes the opening and closing functions through simple hinges and a single-direction force. Although this method can meet the basic needs in the case of low-frequency use, it exposes a series of problems in high-frequency use scenarios (such as commercial kitchen equipment like pizza ovens).

[0004] 2. Due to the action of the single-direction force, the door body is prone to uneven stress during the opening and closing process, resulting in the door body shaking, excessive impact force, and even possible damage to the door body structure, affecting the use safety and equipment life.

[0005] To solve these problems, electronic sensors and electric locking devices are introduced in the prior art. The sensor senses the state of the door body and controls the electric device to lock or release. This method improves the locking accuracy and the smoothness of opening and closing to a certain extent, but there are also significant defects. First, the electronic sensors and circuit components are prone to heat failure in a high-temperature environment (such as inside the oven), resulting in a decrease in equipment stability. Second, the electronic components increase the complexity and cost of the equipment, and at the same time increase the difficulty of maintenance and replacement. In addition, relying on the feedback information of the electronic device to judge the state of the door body lacks intuitiveness and the user experience is poor.

[0006] Therefore, how to achieve the stable opening and closing and firm locking of the oven door body in high-frequency use and high-temperature environments, while avoiding the problems caused by the failure of electronic components and the single-direction force, has become the technical problem to be solved by the utility model.

[0011] One side of the clamping plate is fixedly connected to the door body; the fastener mechanism is fixedly arranged on the door frame;

[0012] The fastener mechanism includes a force arm member, a support seat, a spring, a laterally extending plate, and a spring piece;

[0013] The force arm member includes a first force arm, a second force arm, and a force arm connection area;

[0018] A spring piece cooperating with the second force arm is arranged on the support seat through a positioning seat;

[0019] The door frame and the door body include a closed state and an open state. When the door frame and the door body are in the closed state, the first force arm is buckled on the buckling hole of the clamping plate, and the second force arm is in elastic contact with the spring piece; when the door frame and the door body are in the open state, the first force arm and the second force arm are separated from the clamping plate and the spring piece respectively.

[0021] As a further solution of the present utility model, the number of the rotationally misaligned heterogeneous spring mechanisms is 2.

[0022] As a further solution of the present utility model, the door body further includes a left side portion and a right side portion. The two rotationally misaligned heterogeneous spring mechanisms are respectively located on the other side portion of the door body and near the left side portion and the right side portion of the door body.

[0023] As a further solution of the utility model, the clamping plate comprises an upper plate surface and a lower plate surface, and the buckling holes penetrate through the upper plate surface and the lower plate surface of the clamping plate.

[0024] As a further solution of the utility model, the shape of the buckling holes is strip-shaped, and the clamping plate is parallel to the horizontal line.

[0025] As a further solution of the utility model, the first force arm, the second force arm and the force arm connection area are of an integral structure.

[0026] As a further solution of the utility model, one end of the spring is connected to the force arm connection area through a horizontally extending hanging post in a hanging connection manner, and the other end of the spring is connected to the horizontally extending plate on the support seat in a hanging connection manner.

[0029] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the utility model are as follows:

[0030] 1. The rotation misalignment heterogeneous spring mechanism is adopted, and the combination of multi-directional forces is skillfully utilized, significantly improving the stability and durability of the opening and closing operations of the oven door body. When the door body enters the open state from the closed state, through the rotation misalignment avoidance between the rotating shaft and the door frame, the smooth movement of the force arm member is realized. At the same time, the spring is used to pull the force arm connection area, so that the force arm member generates a reverse force away from the clamping plate. This design of the combination of rotation and misalignment can effectively coordinate various forces during the opening process, avoiding the problems of uneven force and excessive impact force caused by a single force, thus ensuring the smoothness and safety of the opening operation.

[0031] 2. When the door body enters the closed state from the open state, the present invention still realizes accurate positioning and locking effects through the same rotation and misalignment combination mechanism. This design overcomes the problem of poor durability of the traditional single locking method. Through the coordinated action of multi-directional forces, the door body is more firmly and reliably closed when closed, extending the service life.

[0032] 3. The mechanical fit design can produce a clear fastening sound when locked, enabling users to intuitively judge the closed or open state of the door body through the sound. This feedback method reduces the use of circuit components compared to electronic locking control that relies on sensors, lowering the risk of failure and maintenance costs. Especially for high-temperature kitchen appliances such as pizza ovens, the mechanical fit of various methods and different-direction forces in the present invention effectively avoids the problem of electronic component failure caused by high temperature, thus improving the safety and reliability of the equipment.

When the door frame 1 and the door body 2 are in the closed state, the first force arm 10 is buckled in the buckle hole 3 of the clamping plate 4, and the second force arm 11 is in elastic contact with the spring piece 9; when the door frame 1 and the door body 2 are in the open state, the first force arm 10 and the second force arm 11 are separated from the clamping plate 4 and the spring piece 9 respectively. One side part of the door body 2 is the lower side part, and the other side part is the upper side part. The number of the rotationally misaligned heterogeneous spring mechanisms is 2.

[0043] The door body 2 further includes a left side part and a right side part.

[0044] In this technical solution, a rotating misaligned heterogeneous spring mechanism is adopted. Through ingenious structural design and different combination forms of springs, the coordinated cooperation of multi-directional forces during the opening and closing process of the door body 2 is achieved, thus significantly improving the stability and durability of the oven door. The following is a specific description of how each structural form achieves these effects:

[0045] 1. Coordinated cooperation of multi-directional forces: When the door body 2 moves from the closed state to the open state, the rotating misaligned heterogeneous spring mechanism, through the rotational cooperation between the rotating shaft 17 and the door frame 1, causes the force arm member 5 to rotate around the support seat 6, generating a smooth rotation process. During this process, one end of the spring 7 is fixed to the force arm connection area 12, and the other end is fixed to the lateral extension plate 8 of the support seat 6. When the user pulls the door body 2, the spring 7 is stretched, generating a reverse pulling force acting on the force arm member 5, causing the force arm member 5 to gradually move away from the clamping plate 4. This design enables the force arm member 5 to be misaligned and avoid the impact caused by direct force during force application, forming a stable opening and closing action.

[0046] 2. Spring form and principle of action: Different from the traditional design with single-direction force application, the spring 7 in this technical solution combines longitudinal force and lateral force through a rotating misaligned structure. During the door opening process, the pulling force of the spring 7 is not simply a longitudinal action, but this pulling force is decomposed into a resultant force in multiple directions through the rotation of the force arm member 5. The existence of this resultant force enables the force arm member 5 to be no longer affected by a single-direction force, but rather by the balanced action of multi-directional forces, greatly reducing the shaking and impact feeling during opening and closing.

[0047] 3. Achievement of smooth opening and closing: When the door body 2 is in the closed state, the first force arm 10 is buckled into the buckle hole 3 of the clamping plate 4, and at the same time, the second force arm 11 cooperates with the elastic piece 9 to form a stable locking state. During the process of opening the door, the pulling force of the spring 7 gradually acts on the force arm connection area 12. Through the rotating misaligned structure, the movement path of the force arm member 5 is precisely controlled, enabling it to smoothly move around the rotating shaft 17. The pulling force of the spring 7 is gradually balanced and distributed in all directions, avoiding sudden force impacts. This design not only improves the smoothness of the opening and closing operation but also effectively reduces the risk of damage caused by the violent movement of the door body 2.

[0048] 4. Clever utilization of reverse force: The spring 7 in the design is not only for providing a simple pulling force, but through its different forms and positions, it enables the force arm member 5 to be reversely stressed. During the closing process of the door body 2, through the gradually increasing pulling force of the spring 7, the force arm member 5 is pushed towards the clamping plate 4 direction, causing the door body 2 to be locked in place again. This reverse application of force not only ensures a smooth transition during the opening and closing process but also significantly improves the locking reliability of the door body 2 under high-frequency usage conditions.

[0049] Example 1:

[0050] In a commercial pizza oven frequently used in a high-temperature environment, due to the action of a single-direction force on the traditional oven door structure, uneven stress is likely to occur during frequent opening and closing operations, resulting in the shaking of the door body 2, excessive impact force, and even damage to the door body 2 or failure of the locking. To solve these problems, this embodiment provides an oven door structure with a smooth opening and closing function and enhanced locking function.

[0051] In this embodiment, one side of the door body 2 of the pizza oven is connected to the door frame 1 through a hinge 18, and the other side is cooperated with the door frame 1 through the rotation misalignment isomerism spring mechanism of the present invention to achieve locking, opening and closing. Specifically, when the user needs to open the pizza oven door body 2, the user pulls the position near the other side of the door body 2. The clamping plate 4 is fixedly connected to the door body 2, and the clamping plate 4 exerts a pulling action on the first force arm 10, prompting the force arm member 5 to rotate around the rotating shaft 17 on the door frame 1. At the same time, the spring 7 is connected between the connecting area of the force arm member 5 and the transverse extension plate 8 of the support seat 6, and through the pulling force, the force arm member 5 generates a force acting away from the clamping plate 4.

[0052] The combined movement of rotation and misalignment cleverly coordinates the multi-directional forces when the door body 2 is opened, making the opening and closing operations of the door body 2 smoother and more stable, and avoiding the problems of shaking and excessive impact force of the door body 2 caused by a single-direction force in the traditional structure. In addition, the coordinated action of this multi-directional force enables the door body 2 not to have a sudden impact during the opening and closing process, effectively extending the service life of the oven door body 2.

[0053] When the user needs to close the pizza oven door body 2, the door body 2 gradually returns to the closed position under the action of its own weight or a slight external force, and the clamping plate 4 is re-fastened to the first force arm 10. At this time, the spring 7 of the rotation misalignment isomerism spring mechanism continues to act on the force arm connection area 12 through the pulling force, and the force arm member 5 automatically adjusts its position to achieve the firm locking of the door body 2 and the door frame 1. Compared with the traditional electric locking method controlled by an electronic sensor, this structure can produce a clear fastening sound when locking, and the user can judge whether the door body 2 is completely closed through the sound, thereby improving the user experience. In addition, the mechanical locking method adopted in this embodiment completely relies on physical structures and mechanical principles, without the assistance of electronic components, avoiding the problem that electronic components may fail in a high-temperature environment, and improving the stability and durability of the device.

[0054] In practical applications, the structure of this embodiment not only realizes reliable opening and closing and locking functions under high-frequency use conditions in a pizza oven, but also is particularly suitable for other high-temperature kitchen utensils, such as commercial ovens, steam ovens, etc. This design significantly improves the safety and service life of the equipment in a high-temperature environment, and solves the problems existing in the traditional technology, such as uneven single-direction force, excessive impact force, insecure locking, and easy failure of the electronic locking device at high temperature.
