Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of cooking equipment, and in particular to a connecting component and cooking equipment. Background Art

[0002] In recent years, smart cooking devices, such as commercial drum woks, have become widely used. These woks consist of a wok body and a drive mechanism connected to the body. The drive mechanism is used to continuously rotate the wok body, thereby stirring the ingredients with a stirring spatula.

[0003] In the related art, to facilitate disassembly, assembly, and maintenance of the pot body, the pot body is typically detachably connected to the drive mechanism. Specifically, a snap joint is provided on the pot body, and a snap slot is provided on the drive mechanism. The snap slot typically includes an insertion section and a snap slot. When installing the pot body, the user first presses the pot body downward to insert the snap joint into the insertion section, and then applies a rotational force to the pot body to drive the snap joint to snap into the snap slot. This completes the installation of the pot body and the drive mechanism. This is labor-intensive, cumbersome, and inefficient. Utility Model Content

[0056] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the present invention clearer, the technical solution in the embodiment of the present invention will be described in more detail below in conjunction with the drawings in the preferred embodiment of the present invention. In the drawings, the same or similar reference numerals throughout represent the same or similar elements or elements with the same or similar functions. The described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments.

Based on the embodiments in the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention. The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below in conjunction with the drawings.

[0057] In the description of this embodiment, it should be understood that the terms "center", "longitudinal", "lateral", "up", "down", "front", "back", "left", "right", "vertical", "liquid level", "top", "bottom", "inside", "outside", etc., indicating the orientation or position relationship, are based on the orientation or position relationship shown in the accompanying drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing this embodiment and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, it should not be understood as limiting the scope of protection of this embodiment.

[0058] like Figure 1 and Figure 5 As shown, an embodiment of the present invention provides a connecting assembly, which is applied to a cooking device, and the cooking device includes a pot body and a driving mechanism for driving the pot body to rotate; the connecting assembly includes a connecting member 1, which is used to connect the pot body, and the connecting member 1 includes a clamping portion 11; a transmission member 2, which is used to connect the driving mechanism, and the transmission member 2 is provided with a guide portion and a clamping groove 21 clamped with the clamping portion 11; the connecting member 1 and the transmission member 2 are used for relative movement to switch between a disassembled state and an installed state, and in the installed state, the clamping portion 11 is clamped in the clamping groove 21; when the connecting member 1 and the transmission member 2 switch from the disassembled state to the installed state, the guide portion cooperates with the clamping portion 11 to guide the relative movement of the clamping portion 11 and the transmission member 2, so that the clamping portion 11 is clamped in the clamping groove 21.

[0059] It can be understood that when the connecting member 1 and the transmission member 2 are in the installed state, the pot body and the driving mechanism can be assembled and connected; when the connecting member 1 and the transmission member 2 are in the disassembled state, the pot body and the driving mechanism can be disassembled and separated.

[0060] The present invention provides a connection assembly in which a connecting member 1 can be connected to a pot body, and a transmission member 2 can be connected to a drive mechanism. The connecting member 1 includes a clamping portion 11, and the transmission member 2 is provided with a guide portion and a clamping groove 21 that is clamped with the clamping portion 11. The connecting member 1 and the transmission member 2 can move relative to each other to switch between a disassembled state and an assembled state. In the assembled state, the clamping portion 11 is clamped in the clamping groove 21. Moreover, during the process of switching the connecting member 1 and the transmission member 2 from the disassembled state to the assembled state, the guide portion can cooperate with the clamping portion 11 to guide the relative movement of the clamping portion 11 and the transmission member 2, so that the clamping portion 11 can automatically engage with the clamping groove 21. In other words, during the process of assembling the pot body and the drive mechanism, the guide portion can guide the clamping portion 11 to automatically engage with the clamping groove 21, without the user having to apply external force to clamp the clamping portion 11 to the clamping groove 21. This reduces the number of force steps required by the user to assemble the pot, reduces the user's labor intensity, simplifies the operation, and improves work efficiency.

[0061] In some embodiments, see Figure 2 and Figure 3 The transmission member 2 may include a first end that cooperates with the connecting member 1, and a groove 22 is further provided on the transmission member, which is connected to the end face of the first end; the clamping portion 11 is used to disengage from the transmission member 2 via the groove 22, so that the connecting member 1 and the transmission member 2 are in a disassembled state; when the connecting member 1 and the transmission member 2 are switched from the installed state to the disassembled state, the guide portion cooperates with the clamping portion 11 to guide the clamping portion 11 and the transmission member 2 to move relative to each other, so that the clamping portion 11 disengages from the transmission member 2 via the groove 22.

[0062] During the process of disassembling the pot body and the driving mechanism, the guide portion can guide the clamping portion 11 from one end of the groove 22 into the groove 22, and finally disengage the transmission member 2 through the other end of the groove 22, thereby separating the connecting member 1 from the transmission member 2, and the pot body and the driving mechanism are disassembled. Therefore, when disassembling the pot body, the user does not need to apply external force to push the clamping portion 11 into the groove 22, thereby further reducing the number of force steps required for the user to disassemble the pot, further reducing the user's labor intensity, making the operation simpler, and further improving work efficiency.

[0063] It should be noted that the clamping portion 11 can not only be separated from the transmission member 2 through the groove 22, but can also enter the transmission member 2 through the groove 22 in the reverse direction and cooperate with the guide portion to achieve the installation of the connecting member 1 and the transmission member 2.

[0064] In some embodiments, the guide portion may include a first guide portion, which is arranged on the transmission member 2; when the connecting member 1 and the transmission member 2 are switched from the disassembly state to the installation state, the first guide portion is slidingly connected to the clamping portion 11 to guide the clamping portion 11 and the transmission member 2 to move relative to each other, so that the clamping portion 11 is clamped in the clamping groove 21.

[0065] The first guide portion is used to guide the engaging portion 11 into engagement with the engaging groove 21, thereby enabling installation of the connecting member 1 and the transmission member 2, and thus assembly of the pot body and the drive mechanism. Specifically, during the transition between the connecting member 1 and the transmission member 2 from a disassembled state to an installed state, the first guide portion can be slidably connected to the engaging portion 11, allowing the engaging portion 11 to be smoothly engaged with the engaging groove 21 under the guidance of the first guide portion.

[0066] The first guide portion can have various structural forms, as long as it can guide the engaging portion 11 into the engaging groove 21. For example, the first guide portion can include an inclined surface that is inclined in a predetermined direction to guide the engaging portion 11 into the engaging groove 21. Alternatively, the first guide portion can include a guide bar that is movable in a predetermined direction to guide the engaging portion 11 into the engaging groove 21 during movement.

[0067] In some embodiments, the guide portion may also include a second guide portion, which is arranged on the transmission member 2; when the connecting member 1 and the transmission member 2 are switched from the installed state to the disassembled state, the second guide portion is slidably connected to the clamping portion 11 to guide the clamping portion 11 and the transmission member 2 to move relative to each other, so that the clamping portion 11 disengages from the transmission member 2 through the groove 22.

[0068] The second guide portion is used to guide the clamping portion 11 to reach the groove 22, so that it can be separated from the transmission member 2 through the groove 22, thereby achieving the disassembly of the connecting member 1 and the transmission member 2, and thus the disassembly of the pot body and the drive mechanism. Specifically, during the process of switching the connecting member 1 and the transmission member 2 from the installed state to the disassembled state, the second guide portion can be slidably connected to the clamping portion 11, so that the clamping portion 11 can smoothly enter the groove 22 under the guidance of the second guide portion.

[0069] The second guide portion can have various structural forms, as long as it can guide the clamping portion 11 into the groove 22. For example, the second guide portion can include an inclined surface that is inclined in a predetermined direction to guide the clamping portion 11 into the groove 22. Alternatively, the second guide portion can include a guide bar that is movable in a predetermined direction to guide the clamping portion 11 into the groove 22 during movement.

[0070] For ease of use, in some embodiments, see Figure 2 and Figure 3The first guide portion may include a first inclined surface 2311 and a second inclined surface 241; the second inclined surface 241 is connected to a side groove side wall of the clamping groove 21 and is inclined toward the clamping groove 21, and the second inclined surface 241 is used to be slidably connected to the clamping portion 11 to guide the clamping portion 11 to be clamped in the clamping groove 21; the first inclined surface 2311 is respectively arranged opposite to one end notch of the groove 22 and the second inclined surface 241, and the first inclined surface 2311 is used to be slidably connected to the clamping portion 11 to guide the clamping portion 11 to be opposite to the second inclined surface 241, so that the clamping portion 11 can be slidably connected to the second inclined surface 241.

[0071] The second inclined surface 241 can be specifically arranged opposite to the lowest end of the first inclined surface 2311; and the clamping portion 11 can be in contact with the second inclined surface 241 under the action of magnetic force or elastic force, and finally be slidably connected with the second inclined surface 241. Specifically, a magnetic member such as a magnet is provided on the transmission member 2, so that the first inclined surface 2311 and / or the second inclined surface 241 can be a magnetic surface, and the clamping portion 11 can be a magnetic member. A repulsive force can be generated, and / or an attractive force can be generated between the second inclined surface 241 and the clamping portion 11, so that the clamping portion 11 moves toward the second inclined surface 241 under the action of the magnetic force; moreover, in order to ensure that the clamping portion 11 can reliably slide into the clamping groove 21, the groove surface of the clamping groove 21 can also be a magnetic surface, and the magnetic force of the groove surface of the clamping groove 21 can be greater than the magnetic force of the second inclined surface 241, so that the clamping portion 11 can be smoothly clamped in the clamping groove 21 along the second inclined surface 241.

[0072] Alternatively, the second inclined surface 241 may be a magnetic surface, and the clamping portion 11 may be a metal member, so that the clamping portion 11 can move toward the second inclined surface 241 under the action of a magnetic force; or, an elastic member may be provided between the connecting member 1 and the transmission member 2, and the elastic member is used to provide an elastic force for the clamping portion 11 to move toward the second inclined surface 241, so that the clamping portion 11 is slidably connected to the second inclined surface 241. The application does not limit the implementation method of applying force to the clamping portion 11 to enable the clamping portion 11 to slideably connect to the second inclined surface 241, as long as the function can be achieved.

[0073] When installing the pot body, the connecting member 1 can be forced to move downward, and the clamping portion 11 enters the groove 22 downward and continues to move downward under the guidance of the groove 22 until the clamping portion 11 is slidably connected with the first inclined surface 2311. Since the first inclined surface 2311 has a certain inclination, the downward force exerted on the clamping portion 11 will generate a component force to make the connecting member 1 and the transmission member 2 move relative to each other. When the clamping portion 11 reaches the lowest end of the first inclined surface 2311, the clamping portion 11 will no longer be able to move relative to the transmission member 2. At this time, the user can release the pot body to release the connecting member 1, and the connecting member 1 can be released under the aforementioned magnetic force or elastic force. Under the action of the magnetic force or elastic force, it moves upward until the clamping part 11 is slidably connected with the second inclined surface 241. Under the action of the magnetic force or elastic force, and the second inclined surface 241 has a certain inclination, the upward force exerted on the clamping part 11 will generate a component force to make the connecting member 1 and the transmission member 2 move relative to each other. Since the second inclined surface 241 is connected to the side wall of the clamping groove 21, the clamping part 11 slides along the second inclined surface 241 toward the clamping groove 21 and is finally clamped in the clamping groove 21. At this time, the connecting member 1 and the transmission member 2 are clamped and engaged, and the transmission member 2 can transmit the driving force of the driving mechanism to the pot body, thereby driving the pot body to rotate.

[0074] In some embodiments, see Figure 2 and Figure 3 The second guide portion may include a third inclined surface 2321 and a fourth inclined surface 242; one end of the fourth inclined surface 242 can be connected to the side wall of the groove 22, and the other end of the fourth inclined surface 242 is connected to the other side wall of the clamping groove 21, and the fourth inclined surface 242 is inclined toward the groove 22; the fourth inclined surface 242 is used to be slidably connected to the clamping portion 11 to guide the clamping portion 11 to disengage from the transmission member 2 through the groove 22; the third inclined surface 2321 is respectively arranged opposite to the notch of the clamping groove 21 and the fourth inclined surface 242, and the third inclined surface 2321 is used to be slidably connected to the clamping portion 11 to guide the clamping portion 11 to be opposite to the fourth inclined surface 242, so that the clamping portion 11 can be slidably connected to the fourth inclined surface 242.

[0075] Among them, the third inclined surface 2321 can be arranged opposite to the notch of the clamping groove 21; the fourth inclined surface 242 can be specifically arranged opposite to the lowest end of the third inclined surface 2321; and the clamping portion 11 can be in contact with the fourth inclined surface 242 under the action of magnetic force or elastic force, and finally be slidably connected with the fourth inclined surface 242. Specifically, if a magnetic member such as a magnet is provided on the transmission member 2, so that the fourth inclined surface 242 and / or the third inclined surface 2321 can be a magnetic surface, the clamping portion 11 can be a magnetic member, and the third inclined surface 2321 and the clamping portion 11 can be connected. A repulsive force may be generated, and / or an attractive force may be generated between the fourth inclined surface 242 and the clamping portion 11, so that the clamping portion 11 moves toward the fourth inclined surface 242 under the action of a magnetic force; alternatively, the fourth inclined surface 242 may be a magnetic surface, and the clamping portion 11 may be a metal member, so that the clamping portion 11 can move toward the fourth inclined surface 242 under the action of a magnetic force; alternatively, an elastic member may be provided between the connector 1 and the transmission member 2, and the elastic member may be used to provide an elastic force for the clamping portion 11 to move toward the fourth inclined surface 242, so that the clamping portion 11 is slidably connected to the fourth inclined surface 242. The present application does not limit the implementation method of applying force to the clamping portion 11 so that the clamping portion 11 can be slidably connected to the fourth inclined surface 242, as long as the function can be achieved.

[0076] When disassembling the pot body, the connecting member 1 can be forced to move downward, and the clamping portion 11 moves downward from the clamping groove 21 until the clamping portion 11 is slidably connected with the third inclined surface 2321. Since the third inclined surface 2321 has a certain inclination, the downward force on the clamping portion 11 will generate a component force to make the connecting member 1 and the transmission member 2 move relative to each other. When the clamping portion 11 reaches the lowest end of the third inclined surface 2321, the clamping portion 11 will no longer be able to move relative to the transmission member 2. At this time, the user can release the pot body to release the connecting member 1, and the connecting member 1 can be released by the aforementioned magnetic or elastic force. Under the action of force, it moves upward until the clamping part 11 is slidably connected with the fourth inclined surface 242. Under the action of magnetic force or elastic force, and the fourth inclined surface 242 has a certain inclination, the upward force exerted on the clamping part 11 will generate a component force to make the connecting member 1 and the transmission member 2 move relative to each other. Since the fourth inclined surface 242 is connected to the side wall of the groove 22, the clamping part 11 enters the groove 22 along the fourth inclined surface 242 and finally disengages from the transmission member 2 through the groove 22. At this time, the connecting member 1 and the transmission member 2 are disassembled and separated, and the pot body is disassembled and separated from the driving mechanism.

[0077] The heights and inclinations of the first inclined surface 2311 and the third inclined surface 2321 may be equal or different, and the heights and inclinations of the second inclined surface 241 and the fourth inclined surface 242 may also be equal or different, as long as their respective functions can be achieved.

[0078] In order to improve the ease of use and compactness of the connection assembly, in some embodiments, see Figure 2 , the vertical distance between the highest end and the lowest end of the first inclined surface 2311 can be equal to the vertical distance between the highest end and the lowest end of the third inclined surface 2321; the inclination of the first inclined surface 2311 and the inclination of the third inclined surface 2321 can be equal; the vertical distance between the highest end and the lowest end of the second inclined surface 241 can be equal to the vertical distance between the highest end and the lowest end of the fourth inclined surface 242; the inclination of the second inclined surface 241 and the inclination of the fourth inclined surface 242 can be equal.

[0079] In some embodiments, see Figure 2 The groove 22 includes a notch and a channel connected to the notch. The notch is connected to the end face of the first end. The size of the notch is larger than the size of the channel, so that the notch forms a flared structure at the first end, so that the clamping part 11 can slide into the channel through the notch at one end of the groove 22, or detach from the channel through the notch at the other end of the groove 22, which is more convenient to use.

[0080] In some embodiments, see Figure 2 The transmission member 2 may further include a second end, the second end being disposed opposite the first end. A first protrusion 24 is disposed on the outer wall of the first end, and a clamping groove 21 is defined on the first protrusion 24 and faces the second end. A second inclined surface 241 and a fourth inclined surface 242 are both disposed on the first protrusion 24 and are located on either side of the clamping groove 21. A groove 22 is provided on the transmission member 2 on one side of the first protrusion 24 and adjacent to the fourth inclined surface 242. This structure is simple, reliable, and easy to implement.

[0081] In some embodiments, see Figure 2 A second protrusion 23 may be provided on the outer wall of the second end of the transmission member 2. The second protrusion 23 includes a first protruding tooth 231 and a second protruding tooth 232 arranged and connected along the circumference of the transmission member 2; a first inclined surface 2311 is provided on the first protruding tooth 231; and a third inclined surface 2321 is provided on the second protruding tooth 232. The structure is simple, reliable, and easy to implement.

[0082] In some embodiments, see Figure 3 The connector 1 may include a first cylindrical body 12, a clamping portion 11 disposed on the inner wall of the first cylindrical body 12, and the first cylindrical body 12 is sleeved on the exterior of the transmission member 2; the transmission member 2 is a second cylindrical body; and the clamping portion 11 is a third protrusion. The connector 1 and the transmission member 2 are configured to rotate relative to each other to switch between a disassembled state and an installed state.

[0083] When disassembling and assembling the pot body, during the sliding connection between the clamping part 11 and the first inclined surface 2311, the second inclined surface 241, the fourth inclined surface 242 or the third inclined surface 2321, the connecting member 1 and the transmission member 2 will produce relative rotation, thereby transporting the clamping part 11 to the clamping groove 21 or the disengagement groove 22, which is more convenient and reliable to use.

[0084] In some embodiments, the connector 1 can be connected to the pot body by fasteners such as screws. Figure 3 A plurality of mounting through holes 13 may be provided at the outer edge of the end surface of the first cylinder 12 , and screws pass through the corresponding mounting through holes 13 and are placed between the first cylinder 12 and the transmission member 2 .

[0085] In order to prevent the screw from interfering with the relative rotation of the connecting member 1 and the transmission member 2, see Figure 3 and Figure 4 The inner wall of the first cylinder 12 may be provided with a plurality of circumferentially arranged avoidance grooves 14. The avoidance grooves 14 are recessed into the inner wall of the first cylinder 12 and extend along the length of the first cylinder 12. One end of the avoidance groove 14 corresponds to the corresponding mounting through-hole 13, and the other end passes through the end surface of the first cylinder 12. This allows screws to be placed in the avoidance grooves 14, preventing the screws from interfering with the relative rotation of the connecting member 1 and the transmission member 2, thereby ensuring smooth assembly and disassembly of the connecting member 1 and the transmission member 2.

[0086] In some embodiments, see Figure 2 The number of the first protrusions 24 can be multiple, and the multiple first protrusions 24 are arranged at intervals around the circumference of the transmission member 2, and the transmission member 2 and two adjacent first protrusions 24 form a groove 22; the number of the second protrusions 23 is multiple, and the multiple second protrusions 23 are arranged around the circumference of the transmission member 2 and connected to each other; the number of the third protrusions is multiple, and the multiple third protrusions are arranged at intervals along the circumference of the first cylinder 12.

[0087] The number of the engaging grooves 21 and the number of the recesses 22 are the same, and the number of the third protrusions can be less than or equal to the number of the first protrusions 24. That is, the number of the engaging portions 11 can be less than or equal to the number of the engaging grooves 21 and the number of the recesses 22. In practice, the number of the engaging portions 11 and the number of the first protrusions 24 can be selected according to actual needs, and this application does not impose any limitation thereto.

[0088] In some embodiments, see Figure 4 and Figure 5 , and combined with Figure 2 and Figure 3 The connecting assembly may further include an elastic force providing member 3, which is disposed between the connecting member 1 and the transmission member 2 and is used to provide an elastic force for the connecting member 1 and the transmission member 2 to move away from each other along their axial direction.

[0089] As previously mentioned, when installing the pot body, the clamping portion 11 can be moved upward under the action of an external force to slide into connection with the second inclined surface 241. When removing the pot body, the clamping portion 11 can be moved upward under the action of another external force to slide into connection with the fourth inclined surface 242. To facilitate the processing and assembly of the connection assembly, the external force can be provided by the elastic force providing member 3 in the above embodiment. The elastic force providing member 3 is provided between the connecting member 1 and the transmission member 2. When installing or removing the pot body, the elastic force providing member 3 can provide an elastic force that moves the connecting member 1 and the transmission member 2 away from each other in the axial direction, that is, provides an upward elastic force to the clamping portion 11, thereby smoothly completing the installation or removal of the pot body.

[0090] The elastic force providing member 3 can be any component that can provide an elastic force for the connecting member 1 and the transmission member 2 to move away from each other along their axial direction, such as a cylindrical spring, a gas spring or a liquid spring. For ease of assembly, the elastic force providing member 3 can be a cylindrical spring.

[0091] In some embodiments, see Figure 4 and Figure 5 The elastic force providing member 3 is disposed inside the transmission member 2, with one end of the elastic force providing member 3 passing through the transmission member 2 and abutting against the connecting member 1, while the other end of the elastic force providing member 3 abuts against the transmission member 2. Thus, the elastic force providing member 3 provides an elastic force for the connecting member 1 and the transmission member 2 to move away from each other along their axial direction.

[0092] Since one end of the elastic force providing member 3 passes through the transmission member 2 and abuts against the connecting member 1, in order to prevent the elastic force providing member 3 from detaching from the transmission member 2 after the connecting member 1 and the transmission member 2 are disassembled, in some embodiments, the connecting assembly may further include a limit member, which is arranged inside the transmission member 1 and is used to limit the elastic force providing member 3 on the transmission member 2.

[0093] When the pot body is disassembled, the elastic force providing member 3, such as a spring, stretches to drive the connecting member 1 upward, so that the clamping portion 11 slides and engages with the fourth inclined surface 242 until the clamping portion 11 enters the groove 22 and disengages the transmission member 2 through the groove 22, finally separating the connecting member 1 and the transmission member 2. At this time, due to the provision of the limiter, the limiter can limit the spring on the transmission member 2, thereby preventing the spring from falling out of the transmission member 2.

[0094] In some embodiments, see Figure 4 and Figure 5The limiting member may include a third cylinder 4, at least one end of the third cylinder 4 is a first open end, and the first open end is provided with a first protrusion 41 extending outward; at least one end of the transmission member 2 is a second open end, and the second open end is provided with a second protrusion 25 extending inward; one end of the elastic force providing member 3 is pressed against the third cylinder 4 so that the top surface of the limiting member 4 is in contact with the connecting member 1, and the other end of the elastic force providing member 3 is in contact with the transmission member 2; the second protrusion 25 is arranged opposite to the first protrusion 41, and is arranged above the first protrusion 41, for limiting the elastic force providing member 3 to the transmission member 2.

[0095] During the process of disassembling the pot body, the spring stretches to drive the clamping portion 11 to move upward so as to slide into the fourth inclined surface 242. During this process, the first protrusion 41 and the second protrusion 25 can approach each other until the clamping portion 11 slides into the groove 22 along the fourth inclined surface 24 and disengages from the transmission member 2 through the groove 22. At this time, the first protrusion 41 and the second protrusion 25 abut against each other to limit the spring and ensure that the spring will not fall out of the transmission member 2.

[0096] It should be noted that the distance between the first protrusion 41 and the second protrusion 25 can be greater than or equal to the vertical distance between the lowest end of the first inclined surface 2311 and the bottom of the clamping groove 21, so as to ensure that the clamping portion 11 can be smoothly clamped into the clamping groove 21 under the elastic force of the spring; the distance between the first protrusion 41 and the second protrusion 25 can be greater than or equal to the vertical distance between the lowest end of the third inclined surface 2321 and the slot at the outlet end of the groove 22, so as to ensure that the clamping portion 11 can be smoothly disengaged from the transmission part 2 through the groove 22 under the elastic force of the spring.

[0097] In some embodiments, the first cylinder 12, the transmission member 2 and the third cylinder 4 are all cylinder structures with openings at both ends, and the three can be coaxially arranged so that the rotating shaft of the pot body can pass through.
