[0028] In order to make the technical means, creative features, achieved purposes and effects realized by the present invention easy to understand, the following embodiments will specifically describe the present invention in conjunction with the drawings.

[0029] Refer to Figures 1 to 6 As shown in, the limit locking assembly provided in this embodiment is applied to a multi-functional cooking device, which includes a lower grilling seat 1 and an upper grilling seat 2 connected by a pivot, and a pot body assembly 3 detachably disposed between the two grilling seats. The longitudinal position of the upper grilling seat 2 is adjustable, and it has a first position for using the whole machine as a steak machine and a second position for using it as an air fryer. The lower grilling seat 1 also has a mounting seat 4. One side of the mounting seat 4 forms a longitudinal runway groove 41. The upper grilling seat 2 has a pivot 51 that at least partially extends into the runway groove 41. A limit locking assembly 9 for limiting the upper grilling seat 2 to the first position or the second position is also horizontally movably disposed in the mounting seat 4; the limit locking assembly 9 includes:

[0030] An outer housing 91, with one side facing away from the runway groove 41 being open and the other side having a notch 96;

[0031] The inner housing 92 is horizontally movably fitted inside the outer housing 91, and at least part of the side facing the runway groove 41 is exposed through the notch 96;

[0032] The first reset member 93 abuts against the outer housing 91 to urge the outer housing 91 to reset in a direction away from the runway groove 41;

[0033] The second reset member 94 abuts against the inner housing 92 to urge the inner housing 92 to reset in a direction facing the runway groove 41;

[0034] Moreover, when the upper grilling seat 2 is in the second position, the end limiting pivot 51 of the outer housing 91 exposed by the inner housing 92 moves downward to maintain the state of being used as an air fryer.

[0035] Based on the above technical solution, the limit locking assembly 9 is applied to a multi-functional cooking device. The multi-functional cooking device includes an upper grilling seat 2, a lower grilling seat 1, a pot body assembly 3, a mounting seat 4, a runway groove 41, and a pivot 51. The limit locking assembly 9 includes an outer housing 91, an inner housing 92, a first reset member 93, and a second reset member 94, and the inner housing 92 limits the pivot 51 to place the upper grilling seat 2 in the first position or the second position, and enables the whole machine to maintain the state of being used as a steak machine or an air fryer. The overall structure is simple and stable, and can meet the state maintaining function of the cooking device during function switching.

[0036] In a preferred embodiment, a guiding inclined surface 95 is formed at the lower end of the side of the inner housing 92 facing the runway groove 41 to allow the pivot 51 to move upward to urge the inner housing 92 to move in a direction away from the runway groove 41 through the guiding inclined surface 95, and when the pivot 51 moves upward above the inner housing 92, the second reset member 94 urges the inner housing 92 to move in a direction facing the runway groove 41 to limit the pivot 51 above the inner housing 92.

[0037] As a further preferred embodiment, both the first reset member 93 and the second reset member 94 are springs, and the number of the first reset members 93 is two and they are distributed on both sides of the outer housing 91. The outer housing 91 has a limiting rod 98 extending in a direction away from the runway groove 41. The inner housing 92 has a through hole 97 for passing through the limiting rod 98, and the second reset member 94 is sleeved after the limiting rod 98 passes through the through hole 97. Further, two grooves are formed on the side of the outer housing 91 facing the runway groove 41 and are distributed left and right, and each groove is respectively provided with a first reset member 93. Further, the notch 96 penetrates the outer housing 91 in the longitudinal direction, and the end of the pivot 51 can move longitudinally in the notch 96.

[0038] In a preferred embodiment, the mounting seat 4 is formed with a receiving cavity for movably arranging the limit locking assembly 9, and a supporting plate 43 is further extended to form on one side of the pot body assembly 3 adjacent to the mounting seat 4, and a notch 42 is provided on the mounting seat 4 opposite to the supporting plate 43, so as to allow the supporting plate 43 to extend into the receiving cavity and abut against the end of the outer shell 91 away from the runway groove 41, and to cause the outer shell 91 to abut against the wall of the receiving cavity adjacent to the runway groove 41, and the upper end surface of the inner shell 92 abuts against the outer periphery of the pivot 51 to limit the upper grilling seat 2 to the second position state. Further, the upper end of the outer shell 91 away from the runway groove 41 is formed with a slope 99 opposite to the supporting plate 43, so that when the pot body assembly 3 is assembled, the supporting plate 43 pushes the outer shell 91 along the slope 99 to move in the direction facing the runway groove 41.

[0039] As a further preferred embodiment, the lower grilling seat 1 is formed with two mounting seats 4 arranged opposite to each other, each mounting seat 4 has a longitudinal runway groove 41, and a rotating seat 5 is provided on one side of the upper grilling seat 2, and pivots 51 corresponding to the runway groove 41 are formed on both sides of the rotating seat 5, the pivots 51 can rotate around their own axes and can be arranged in the runway groove 41 to move longitudinally along the runway groove 41, and each mounting seat 4 is respectively provided with a limit locking assembly 9.

[0040] In a specific application, in the second position state, the second limiting member causes the inner shell 92 to move in the direction facing the runway groove 41, ensuring the limit locking state of the pivot 51 to prevent it from moving downward. In the first position state, the outer shell 91 is no longer limited by the abutment plate 43 and can move in the direction away from the runway groove 41 under the action of the first reset member 93, and when the user pulls the grill seat 2 upward, the pivot 51 can move from the first position to the second position in the runway groove 41.

[0041] It is worth pointing out that the upper grilling seat 2 and the lower grilling seat 1 are also respectively provided with a detachable grilling pan to meet the grilling cavity when used as a steak maker. The lower grilling seat 1 also has a control module, a power module, a control panel, and upper and lower temperature control modules (preferably controlled by a thyristor to achieve the purpose of adjustable temperature) electrically connected to the above-mentioned electrical components, which are all basic structures of steak makers, so they are omitted here. At the same time, the upper grilling seat 2 and the lower grilling seat 1 are provided with a detachable grilling pan, which is also a basic structure. And for the sake of safety and function switching, the upper grilling seat 2 and the lower grilling seat 1 are also respectively provided with a micro switch 7 as a trigger component, and the pot body assembly 3 is configured with a corresponding trigger component, which switches to the air fryer working mode only when the pot body assembly 3 is installed in place, and triggers the usable state only when it is detected that the upper grilling seat 2 is covered on the pot body assembly 3. A heating module 6 and a fan assembly 8 are also designed accordingly, which are all common components of cooking equipment, so they are omitted here.

[0042] The above are only the preferred embodiments of the present utility model, which are illustrative rather than restrictive to the present utility model. Those skilled in the art understand that many changes, modifications or even equivalents can be made to it within the spirit and scope defined by the claims of the present utility model, but all of them will fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.
