Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to an oven accessory, in particular to a buffer door opener for an oven water tank cover. Background Art

[0002] In modern kitchen appliances, ovens and steamers, as important cooking equipment, are widely used in household and commercial kitchens. To meet different cooking needs, many ovens and steamers are equipped with water tanks to generate steam during the heating process. However, with the increase in the functions of these appliances and the improvement of user requirements, the design and functions of the equipment have gradually received attention.

[0003] In the existing designs of ovens or steamers, the water tank cover door is usually an important component. The water tank cover door is used to close the water tank. However, in traditional designs, the opening and closing processes of the water tank cover door often lack sufficient buffering functions. This design defect is mainly reflected in the following aspects:

[0004] 1. Impact noise problem: Since there are no effective buffering measures when the water tank cover door is opened or closed, when it quickly hits the edge of the water tank or other components, it will generate a large impact noise. This noise not only affects the user experience but may also cause interference in a quiet environment.

[0005] 2. Wear and damage: High-frequency impacts will not only cause noise problems but may also lead to wear and damage of the water tank cover door and related components. Under long-term use, this wear will affect the sealing performance and functional stability of the equipment, increasing the maintenance cost and usage risk.

[0006] 3. Safety hazards: Since the sudden opening or closing of the water tank cover door may be accompanied by a strong impact force, this design also has certain safety hazards. Users may suffer accidental injuries due to excessive impact force during the operation process, especially when the hands are in contact or the operation is improper.

[0007] 4. Poor user experience: The water tank cover door lacking a buffering function often shows inconvenient operation and loud noise in daily use, which reduces the overall user experience. Users expect the equipment to operate more smoothly and quietly, especially in modern families pursuing a high-quality life. Therefore, it is necessary to make further improvements to it.

[0024] The following further specifically describes the present utility model in conjunction with the drawings. A buffer door opener for an oven water tank cover, which includes a base 1. An accommodating groove 11 is concavely opened at the top of the base 1. Guide grooves 12 penetrate through both side walls of the accommodating groove 11 and are provided on the base 1. A slider 3 is installed in the accommodating groove 11. Guide posts 31 extend from both sides of the slider 3 into the guide grooves 12. The slider 3 slides back and forth in the guide grooves 12 through the guide posts 31. A damper 4 is also installed in the guide grooves 12. One end of the damper 4 is fixed to the accommodating groove 11, and the other end of the damper 4 is connected to the slider 3. The damper 4 plays a damping role in the movement of the slider 3. A pull arm 5 is also hingedly installed on the slider 3. The other end of the pull arm 5 is hinged to the water tank cover door 6, playing a damping role when the water tank cover door 6 is opened outwards.

[0025] In one embodiment: One end of the pull arm 5 is provided with a hinge hole 51. The hinge hole 51 is sleeved outside the guide post 31 and connected to the slider 3.

[0026] In one embodiment: There are two pull arms 5, which are connected into one body through a connecting arm 52, and the three are distributed in an "n" shape. The pull arms 5 symmetrically cover both sides of the base 1 from left to right and are respectively connected to the guide posts 31.

[0027] In one embodiment: The end face of the connecting arm 52 further extends forward with a hinge ear 53, and the hinge ear 53 is hinged to a connecting seat 61 provided on the water tank cover door 6.

[0028] In one embodiment: The damper 4 is a compression type damper.

[0029] In one of the embodiments: The surface of the guiding groove 12 is covered with an end cover 13. Snap fasteners 14 are provided at the front and rear ends of the end cover 13 and are hooked and connected to the card seats 15 provided on the end face of the base 1.

[0030] Working principle: The buffer in this case realizes the buffering effect of the water tank cover door during the opening and closing processes based on the coordinated action of the slider, the guiding groove, the damper, and the pulling arm.

[0031] Among them, the base 1 is the basic support structure of the entire buffer door opener. A receiving groove 11 is recessed at the top thereof for accommodating the slider 3 and other components. Guiding grooves 12 are provided through the two side walls of the base for guiding and supporting the slider.

[0032] Among them, the slider 3 is installed in the receiving groove 11 and is connected to the guiding groove 12 through the guiding columns 31 on both sides, and can slide back and forth along the guiding groove. A pulling arm 5 is hingedly installed on the slider, and the other end of the pulling arm is hingedly connected to the water tank cover door 6.

[0033] Among them, the guiding columns 31 extend into the guiding groove 12 to ensure the smooth sliding of the slider 3 in the guiding groove.

[0034] Among them, one end of the damper 4 is fixed in the receiving groove 11, and the other end is connected to the slider 3. The damper 4 provides a damping effect on the movement of the slider, thereby slowing down the opening and closing speeds of the water tank cover door and achieving a buffering effect.

[0035] Among them, one end of the pulling arm 5 is connected to the slider 3 through a hinge hole 51, and the other end is hingedly connected to the water tank cover door 6 through a hinge ear 53. The setting of the pulling arm 5 enables the water tank cover door to be affected by the damper when opening or closing, thereby achieving buffering.

[0036] As Figures 1-4 shown, when this buffer is installed and used with the water tank cover door of an oven or a steam box, this buffer is installed inside the device and is hingedly connected to the water tank cover door through the pulling arm thereon.

[0037] When a user applies force to open the water tank cover door 6, the pulling arm 5 drives the slider 3 to move along the guiding groove 12 towards the door direction. The movement of the slider 3 is affected by the damping effect of the damper 4, slowing down the speed of the slider, so that the speed of the water tank cover door during the opening process is slowed down, avoiding the impact noise and potential structural damage caused by rapid opening.

[0038] As the slider 3 slides outside the guiding groove 12, the water tank cover door is gradually opened to the required angle, and the whole process is smooth and quiet.

[0039] When the user applies force to close the water tank cover door 6, the pulling arm 5 drives the slider 3 to move inward along the guiding groove 12. Similarly, the movement of the slider 3 in the guiding groove 12 is subject to the damping effect of the damper 4, which slows down the speed of the slider, so that the speed of the water tank cover door during closing is reduced, avoiding the impact noise and potential structural damage caused by rapid closing. Of course, the damper can be set with two-way damping so that there is a buffering force when the water tank door is opened and closed. It can also be set as a compression damping type so that there is damping when the water tank door is opened and no damping when it is closed, thus facilitating the rapid closing of the water tank door.

[0040] It should be noted that: the sliding path of the slider 3 in the guiding groove 12 is restricted by the guiding groove, ensuring the smooth movement of the slider. The end cover 13 and the buckle 14 installed in the guiding groove 12 are connected to the hook of the clamping seat 15, further ensuring the structural stability.

[0041] Compared with the traditional technology: a buffer door opener for an oven water tank of the present utility model realizes the buffering effect during the opening and closing processes of the water tank cover door through the synergistic action of components such as the slider, the guiding groove, the damper and the pulling arm, effectively reducing the impact noise, improving the service life and safety of the equipment, and improving the user experience.

[0042] The above shows and describes the basic principles, main features and advantages of the present utility model. Those skilled in the art of this industry should understand that the present utility model is not limited by the above embodiments. What is described in the above embodiments and the specification only illustrates the principles of the present utility model. Without departing from the spirit and scope of the present utility model, the present utility model will have various changes and improvements, and these changes and improvements all fall within the scope of the present utility model claimed.
