Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of household appliances, in particular to a frying and grilling utensil. Background Art

[0002] A frying or grilling appliance generally comprises an upper grill assembly and a lower grill assembly. The upper grill assembly is rotatably connected to the lower grill assembly. By rotating the upper grill assembly relative to the lower grill assembly, a cooking cavity is formed between the upper and lower grills, enabling conventional frying, grilling, and searing functions.

[0003] Some existing grilling appliances have increased the depth of the lower grilling pan to allow for boiling or broiling functions, thereby expanding the use of the grilling appliances. However, such grilling appliances still need to ensure that when the upper grilling pan assembly is opened, oil dripping from the upper grilling pan can slide into the lower grilling pan to avoid contaminating the table surface. This makes it more difficult to remove the deeper lower grilling pan. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of this, it is necessary to provide a grilling utensil to address the above problem, so as to ensure that the lower grilling tray can be taken out smoothly.

[0005] The utility model provides a frying and grilling utensil, comprising: an upper grilling pan assembly, comprising an upper grilling pan and an oil introduction nozzle provided on the upper grilling pan; and a lower grilling pan assembly, wherein the upper grilling pan assembly is rotatably connected to the lower grilling pan assembly, and the lower grilling pan assembly comprises a lower grilling pan and an oil receiving nozzle provided on the lower grilling pan; the upper grilling pan assembly has an open state in which it is maintained at a set angle to the lower grilling pan assembly, and in the open state, a projection of an outer edge of the oil introduction nozzle in a vertical direction and an outer edge of the oil receiving nozzle in a horizontal direction have an overlapping portion, and at least one of the outer edge of the oil introduction nozzle and the outer edge of the oil receiving nozzle is elastic.

[0006] The outer edge of the oil receiving nozzle is projected in the vertical direction and the outer edge of the oil introduction nozzle overlaps with the outer edge of the oil receiving nozzle in the horizontal direction in the open state, so that the oil on the upper grill plate can drip through the oil introduction nozzle to the outer edge of the oil receiving nozzle and flow into the lower grill plate through the oil receiving nozzle without dripping onto the table surface, thereby preventing the table surface from being contaminated. In addition, since at least one of the outer edge of the oil introduction nozzle and the outer edge of the oil receiving nozzle is elastic, when the outer edge of the oil receiving nozzle contacts the outer edge of the oil introduction nozzle during the removal of the lower grill plate, the elastic portion will be deformed, so that even if the lower grill plate is deep, the lower grill plate can be smoothly removed, avoiding the oil introduction nozzle and the oil receiving nozzle from colliding with each other, resulting in difficulty in removing the lower grill plate or scratching the upper grill plate and the lower grill plate, and at the same time, the distance between the oil receiving nozzle and the oil introduction nozzle in the open state can be reduced, thereby reducing the overall volume of the grilling device.

[0007] In one embodiment, at least one of the entire oil introduction nozzle and the entire oil receiving nozzle is elastic.

[0008] With such arrangement, the entire oil introduction nozzle or the entire oil connecting nozzle can be made of the same elastic material, which facilitates the processing and assembly of the oil introduction nozzle or the oil connecting nozzle and can increase the deformation capacity of the oil introduction nozzle or the oil connecting nozzle.

[0009] In one embodiment, the oil introduction nozzle and / or the oil receiving nozzle are made of silicone material.

[0010] With this setting, silicone has good elasticity, can withstand a certain amount of pressure, and restore its original shape after deformation. In addition, silicone is also resistant to high temperature, corrosion, and aging, so that the oil inlet nozzle and the oil receiving nozzle can maintain good performance in a high-temperature cooking environment and extend its service life.

[0011] In one embodiment, the oil receiving nozzle is elastic and is plugged into and fitted with the lower baking tray.

[0012] With this arrangement, the connection between the oil receiving nozzle and the lower baking tray is simple, and the stability and reliability of the connection between the two can be ensured.

[0013] In one embodiment, one of the oil receiving nozzle and the lower baking tray is provided with a first groove, and the other is provided with a first protrusion inserted into the first groove.

[0014] With this arrangement, when assembling the oil nipple, the user only needs to align the first protrusion with the first groove and plug them in, which is simple and convenient to operate.

[0015] In one embodiment, the first protrusion is provided on the oil receiving nozzle and is integrally formed with the oil receiving nozzle.

[0016] Such an arrangement can facilitate the processing and assembly of the oil receiving nipple, while also ensuring the connection strength of the first protrusion on the oil receiving nipple.

[0017] In one embodiment, the oil introduction nozzle is elastic and is plugged into and fitted with the upper baking tray.

[0018] With this arrangement, the connection between the oil introduction nozzle and the upper baking tray is simple, and the stability and reliability of the connection between the two can be ensured.

[0019] In one embodiment, one of the oil introduction nozzle and the upper baking tray is provided with a second groove, and the other is provided with a second protrusion inserted into the second groove.

[0020] With such arrangement, when assembling the oil inlet nozzle, the user only needs to align the second protrusion with the second groove and plug them in, which is simple and convenient to operate.

[0021] In one embodiment, the second protrusion is provided on the oil introduction nozzle and is integrally formed with the oil introduction nozzle.

[0022] Such an arrangement can facilitate the processing and assembly of the oil introduction nozzle, while also ensuring the connection strength of the second protrusion on the oil introduction nozzle.

[0023] In one embodiment, the lower baking tray assembly further includes handles, and the handles are disposed on both sides of the lower baking tray.

[0024] In this way, the handles are set on both sides of the lower baking tray to better cooperate with the deep tray for operation and avoid tilting. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0032] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meanings as those commonly understood by those skilled in the art to which this invention pertains. The terms used herein in the specification of this invention are for the purpose of describing specific embodiments only and are not intended to limit this invention. The term "or / and" as used herein includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.

[0033] Grilling appliances typically include an upper grill assembly and a lower grill assembly. The upper grill assembly is rotatably connected to the lower grill assembly. By rotating the upper grill assembly relative to the lower grill assembly, a cooking cavity is formed between the upper and lower grills, enabling conventional frying, grilling, and searing functions. Some existing grilling appliances also increase the depth of the lower grill assembly to allow for boiling or broiling, thereby expanding the use of grilling appliances. However, such grilling appliances still need to ensure that when the upper grill assembly is opened, oil dripping from the upper grill assembly can slide into the lower grill assembly to avoid contaminating the tabletop. This makes it more difficult to remove the deeper lower grill assembly, especially when the lower grill assembly contains a large amount of liquid, which can cause spillage.

[0034] In order to solve the above problems, Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the utility model provides a frying and grilling utensil to ensure that the lower grilling plate can be taken out smoothly.

[0035] like Figures 1 to 2 As shown, specifically, the grilling utensil includes an upper grilling pan assembly 10 and a lower grilling pan assembly 20, wherein: the upper grilling pan assembly 10 includes an upper grilling pan 11 and an oil inlet nozzle 12 provided on the upper grilling pan 11; the upper grilling pan assembly 10 is rotatably connected to the lower grilling pan assembly 20, and the lower grilling pan assembly 20 includes a lower grilling pan 21 and an oil inlet nozzle 22 provided on the lower grilling pan 21; the upper grilling pan assembly 10 has an open state that is maintained at a set angle between it and the lower grilling pan assembly 20, as shown in FIG. Figure 1 In the open state shown, in the open state, the projection of the outer edge of the oil introduction nozzle 12 in the vertical direction and the outer edge of the oil receiving nozzle 22 in the horizontal direction have an overlapping portion, and at least one of the outer edge of the oil introduction nozzle 12 and the outer edge of the oil receiving nozzle 22 is elastic.

[0036] It should be noted that the frying and grilling utensils also have the following features: Figure 2In the closed position shown, the upper grilling tray 11 covers the lower grilling tray 21, with the oil inlet nozzle 12 positioned above the oil receiving nozzle 22. The oil inlet nozzle 12 is located on the side of the upper grilling tray 11 near the pivotal connection between the upper grilling tray assembly 10 and the lower grilling tray assembly 20, while the oil receiving nozzle 22 is located on the side of the lower grilling tray 21 near the pivotal connection between the upper grilling tray assembly 10 and the lower grilling tray assembly 20. The angle set in the open position is typically between 90 and 110 degrees. This ensures that the upper grilling tray assembly 10 remains stable in the open position, preventing it from accidentally rotating into the closed position due to gravity. It also prevents the upper grilling tray assembly 10 from interfering with the normal operation of the lower grilling tray assembly 20. Furthermore, the outer edge of the oil inlet nozzle 12 refers to the portion of the oil inlet nozzle 12 away from the upper grilling tray 11, while the outer edge of the oil receiving nozzle 22 refers to the portion of the oil receiving nozzle 22 away from the lower grilling tray 21.

[0037] In the grilling utensil provided by the embodiment of the present invention, since the projection of the outer edge of the oil introduction nozzle 12 in the vertical direction overlaps with the outer edge of the oil receiving nozzle 22 in the horizontal direction in the open state, the oil on the upper grilling plate 11 can drip through the oil introduction nozzle 12 to the outer edge of the oil receiving nozzle 22 under the action of gravity, and flow into the lower grilling plate 21 through the oil receiving nozzle 22 without dripping onto the table surface, thereby avoiding contamination of the table surface; and since at least one of the outer edge of the oil introduction nozzle 12 and the outer edge of the oil receiving nozzle 22 is elastic, when the lower grilling plate 2 is removed, the oil on the upper grilling plate 11 can drip through the oil introduction nozzle 12 to the outer edge of the oil receiving nozzle 22 under the action of gravity, and flow into the lower grilling plate 21 through the oil receiving nozzle 22 without dripping onto the table surface, thereby avoiding contamination of the table surface; and During the cooking process, when the outer edge of the oil receiving nozzle 22 contacts the outer edge of the oil introduction nozzle 12, the elastic portion will be deformed, so that the lower baking tray 21 can be smoothly taken out even if the lower baking tray 21 is deep, thereby preventing the oil introduction nozzle 12 and the oil receiving nozzle 22 from colliding with each other, which would make it difficult to take out the lower baking tray 21, easily spill the soup in the lower baking tray 21, or cause the oil introduction nozzle 12 and the oil receiving nozzle 22 to scratch the upper baking tray 11 and the lower baking tray 21. At the same time, the distance between the oil receiving nozzle 22 and the oil introduction nozzle 12 in the open state can be reduced, thereby reducing the overall volume of the frying and grilling device.

[0038] like Figures 1 to 2 As shown, the upper baking tray assembly 10 further includes a cover 13, and the upper baking tray 11 can be detachably mounted on the cover 13, so that the user can remove and clean the upper baking tray 11. Of course, the upper baking tray 11 can also be integrally mounted with the cover 13 as needed. The lower baking tray assembly 20 further includes a base 24, and the lower baking tray 21 is detachably mounted on the base 24.

[0039] like Figure 1 and Figure 4As shown, the lower grilling tray assembly 20 also includes handles 23, which are located on either side of the lower grilling tray 21. Specifically, there are two handles 23, one located on each opposing side wall of the lower grilling tray 21. Since the lower grilling tray 21 is typically hot after cooking, placing handles 23 on the side walls of the lower grilling tray 21 facilitates gripping when installing or removing the lower grilling tray 21, improving operational convenience and safety. Furthermore, if the lower grilling tray 21 is a deep dish, the handles on both sides of the lower grilling tray 21 help maintain its balance during movement, especially when liquid is present, preventing the lower grilling tray 21 from tilting and spilling. The handles 23 should be exposed above the base 24.

[0040] like Figures 2 to 3 As shown, in one embodiment, at least one of the entire oil introduction nozzle 12 and the entire oil receiving nozzle 22 is elastic. In this case, the entire oil introduction nozzle 12 can be made of the same elastic material to facilitate processing and assembly of the oil introduction nozzle 12 and to increase its deformability. Similarly, the entire oil receiving nozzle 22 can be made of the same elastic material to facilitate processing and assembly of the oil introduction nozzle 12 and to increase its deformability.

[0041] Of course, in other embodiments, as described above, only the outer edge of the oil introduction nozzle 12 may be elastic, and only the outer edge of the oil receiving nozzle 22 may be elastic. As long as the outer edge of the oil receiving nozzle 22 and the outer edge of the oil introduction nozzle 12 are in contact with each other, the oil receiving nozzle 22 and the oil introduction nozzle 12 will not collide with each other, the embodiment of the present invention does not impose specific restrictions on this. The oil introduction nozzle 12 can also be a split structure, in which a portion (the first portion) is elastic and the remaining portion (the second portion) is a non-elastic structure, wherein the outer edge of the oil introduction nozzle 12 is located in the portion (the first portion) and adopts an elastic structure; the remaining portion (the second portion) adopts a non-elastic portion. For example, the material of the remaining portion (the second portion) can be consistent with the material of the upper and lower baking trays, which is convenient for assembly and fixation with the upper and lower baking trays. For this method, under the premise that the outer edge of the oil introduction nozzle 12 is located in the portion (the first portion), the area ratio of the portion (the first portion) relative to the entire oil receiving nozzle 22 is not limited.

[0042] In one embodiment, the oil inlet nozzle 12 and the oil receiving nozzle 22 are made of silicone. Silicone has good elasticity, can withstand certain pressures, and can return to its original shape after deformation. Silicone is also resistant to high temperatures, corrosion, and aging. This allows the oil inlet nozzle 12 and the oil receiving nozzle 22 to maintain good performance in high-temperature cooking environments, extending their service life. Of course, in other embodiments, the oil inlet nozzle 12 and the oil receiving nozzle 22 can also be made of other elastic materials such as rubber, polyurethane, TPU, etc., and this embodiment of the utility model is not specifically limited here.

[0043] like Figures 3 and 4 As shown, when the oil receiving nozzle 22 is elastic, the oil receiving nozzle 22 is plugged into and fits with the lower grilling plate 21. The connection between the oil receiving nozzle 22 and the lower grilling plate 21 is simple and can ensure the stability and reliability of the connection between the two, preventing the oil receiving nozzle 22 from accidentally falling off the lower grilling plate 21 and affecting the normal use of the frying and grilling utensil.

[0044] like Figures 3 and 4 As shown, in one embodiment, the lower grilling plate 21 has a first groove 211, and the oil receiving spout 22 has a first protrusion 221 that plugs into the first groove 211. In another embodiment, the oil receiving spout 22 has a first groove 211, and the lower grilling plate 21 has a first protrusion 221 that plugs into the first groove 211. When assembling the oil receiving spout 22, the user simply aligns the first protrusion 221 with the first groove 211 and plugs it in, making the operation simple and convenient. Furthermore, when the first protrusion 221 is provided on the oil receiving spout 22, the first protrusion 221 and the oil receiving spout 22 are integrally formed. This facilitates the processing and assembly of the oil receiving spout 22 while also ensuring the connection strength of the first protrusion 221 to the oil receiving spout 22.

[0045] The number of first grooves 211 can be one, and the cross-section of the first groove 211 can be regular or irregular, such as an elongated strip, a U-shape, or a wavy shape. The first protrusions 221 are arranged corresponding to the first grooves 211, thereby increasing the contact area between the first protrusions 221 and the first grooves 211 and ensuring the connection strength between the oil receiving nozzle 22 and the lower grilling plate 21. Alternatively, the number of first grooves 211 can be two, three, or more, with multiple first grooves 211 arranged at intervals. The number of first protrusions 221 is the same as the number of first grooves 211, and they are arranged in a one-to-one correspondence with the first grooves 211.

[0046] In other embodiments, as shown in FIG. Figures 1 to 2 As shown, when the oil introduction nozzle 12 is elastic, the oil introduction nozzle 12 can also be plugged into the upper grilling plate 11. In this way, the connection between the oil introduction nozzle 12 and the upper grilling plate 11 is simple, and the stability and reliability of the connection between the two can be guaranteed, preventing the oil introduction nozzle 12 from accidentally falling off the upper grilling plate 11 and affecting the normal use of the grilling utensil.

[0047] In one embodiment, the upper baking tray 11 is provided with a second groove (not shown), and the oil introduction nozzle 12 is provided with a second protrusion (not shown) that is plugged into the second groove. In another embodiment, the oil introduction nozzle 12 is provided with a second groove (not shown), and the upper baking tray 11 is provided with a second protrusion (not shown) that is plugged into the second groove. When assembling the oil introduction nozzle 12, the user only needs to align the second protrusion with the second groove and plug it in, which is simple and convenient. Moreover, when the second protrusion is provided on the oil introduction nozzle 12, the second protrusion and the oil introduction nozzle 12 are integrally formed. This facilitates the processing and assembly of the oil introduction nozzle 12 while also ensuring the connection strength of the second protrusion on the oil introduction nozzle 12.

[0048] The number of second grooves can be one, and the cross-section of the second groove can be regular or irregular, such as an elongated strip, a U-shape, or a wavy shape. The second protrusion is provided in correspondence with the second groove, thereby increasing the contact area between the second protrusion and the second groove and ensuring the connection strength between the oil introduction nozzle 12 and the upper grilling plate 11. Alternatively, the number of second grooves can be two, three, or more, with the plurality of second grooves arranged at intervals. The number of second protrusions is the same as the number of second grooves, and they are arranged in a one-to-one correspondence with the second grooves.

[0049] The technical features of the above-mentioned embodiments can be combined arbitrarily. In order to make the description concise, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above-mentioned embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

[0050] The above-described embodiments merely represent several implementations of the present invention. While the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the utility model patent. It should be noted that a person skilled in the art would be able to make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of the present invention, and these modifications and improvements fall within the scope of protection of the present invention. Therefore, the scope of protection of the present utility model patent shall be determined by the appended claims.
