Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to a grilling machine with a function of detecting the thickness of food. Background Art

[0002] At present, the steak machines on the market that automatically measure the thickness of food all use Hall switches, electromagnetic induction, and angle positioners as detection elements to achieve thickness detection.

[0003] For the steak machines of the above types, the technical problem is that if there are magnetic field-generating objects such as knives placed near the steak machine, there will be a relatively large measurement error in the Hall switch and electromagnetic induction, which will affect the judgment of the machine and thus affect the grilling of food.

[0004] In addition, there are also machines on the market that use photoelectric sensors as detection elements for measurement. However, due to the freshness of beef, the parts of beef, etc., the color presented by beef will be different, so there will also be a certain error when using photoelectric sensors.

[0005] In view of the increasing number of users of steak machines, in order to solve the above problems in measurement, it is necessary to further improve the existing steak machines. Content of the Utility Model

[0027] The present utility model will be further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0028] Refer to Figures 1-6 , a griddle with a food thickness detection function, comprising a lower baking tray 10, an upper baking tray assembly 20 hinged to the lower baking tray 10, and a measuring component 30 for measuring the thickness of food. The measuring component 30 at least includes a trigger component 300 movably arranged relative to the lower baking tray 10 and a pressure sensor 320 fixedly arranged on the lower baking tray 10. One end of the trigger component 300 abuts against the sensing end of the pressure sensor 320;

[0029] When the upper baking tray assembly 20 closes relative to the lower baking tray 10, as the position of the upper baking tray assembly 20 moves, it can gradually drive the trigger component 300 to move towards the sensing end of the pressure sensor 320, so as to change the real-time pressure value of the pressure sensor 320.

[0030] Based on the above embodiments, the present utility model cooperates the pressure sensor with the trigger component. When the upper baking tray assembly is turned downwards to close with the lower baking tray, the position change of the upper baking tray assembly is used to drive the trigger component to press the sensing end of the pressure sensor, so as to judge the distance between the upper baking tray and the lower baking tray through the pressure value, and thus the thickness of the food can be measured in real time. The present utility model uses a pressure sensor for measurement, which can avoid the problems of magnetic field interference existing in the prior art and measurement errors of the photoelectric sensor due to the quality and color of beef.

[0031] Refer to Figures 3-5 , the measuring component 30 further includes a housing 310 fixedly arranged on the lower baking tray 10, and the pressure sensor 320 is fixedly arranged inside the housing 310;

[0032] A guide sleeve 370 is arranged on the housing 310 above the pressure sensor 320, and the upper end of the guide sleeve 370 is open;

[0033] The trigger assembly 300 includes a guide post 340 movably arranged relative to the guide sleeve 370, and a spring 350 is arranged in the guide sleeve 370 below the guide post 340;

[0034] The sensing end of the pressure sensor 320 is fixedly connected with a force-receiving piece 330. The force-receiving piece 330 is located directly below the guide sleeve 370. The lower end of the guide sleeve 370 is provided with an opening. The lower end of the spring 350 abuts against the force-receiving piece 330, and the spring 350 is connected with the guide post 340.

[0035] When the upper baking tray assembly 20 closes relative to the lower baking tray 10 and the upper baking tray assembly 20 covers the food on the lower baking tray 10, the guide post will be driven by the displacement of the upper baking tray assembly 20 and thus displace. When the guide post displaces, it can compress the spring. After the spring is compressed, the force it receives is directly reflected on the force-receiving piece, and the force-receiving piece directly presses on the sensing end of the pressure sensor 320, so that the pressure value of the pressure sensor 320 changes. By the change of this pressure value and the controller connected to the pressure sensor, the thickness of the meat food is judged.

[0036] See Figure 3 , a limiting convex edge 380 is arranged at the opening of the guide sleeve 370;

[0037] A positioning convex edge 360 matched with the limiting convex edge 380 is arranged on the peripheral wall of the guide post 340;

[0038] The spring 350 is sleeved on the outer wall of the guide sleeve 370 and its upper end abuts against the lower end surface of the positioning convex edge 360.

[0039] The spring 350 exerts an upward acting force on the guide post 340. The positioning convex edge 360 is matched with the limiting convex edge 380, which can prevent the guide post 340 from detaching from the guide sleeve 370. During the downward movement of the guide post 340, the positioning convex edge 360 presses the spring 350 to move downward, so that the spring 350 is compressed.

[0040] See Figure 6 , the housing 310 includes a lower housing 311 and an upper housing 312 which are detachably connected. The pressure sensor 320 is fixedly arranged on the lower housing 311, and the guide sleeve 370 is arranged on the upper housing 312.

[0041] See Figure 1, the upper baking pan assembly 20 at least includes a handle 200 and an upper baking pan 210 that are connected to each other. The handle 200 is rotatably connected to the lower baking pan 10; the trigger assembly 300 is disposed directly below the handle 200. When the upper baking pan assembly 20 is pressed down, the handle 200 abuts against the guide post 340 to drive the guide post 340 to move downward, thereby compressing the spring 350. After the spring is compressed, the force it receives is directly reflected on the force receiving piece, and the force receiving piece directly presses on the sensing end of the pressure sensor 320.

[0042] Furthermore, the lower housing 311 and the lower baking pan 10 are of an integral structure.

[0043] See Figure 1 and Figure 5 , the measuring assembly 30 is disposed on the left or right side of the lower baking pan 10.
