Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of kitchen appliances, in particular to a toaster. Background Art

[0002] A toaster, also known as a toaster, is mainly used to toast bread slices. It includes a casing, a lever, a transmission mechanism, and a bread tray movably arranged in the casing along the height direction. The lever is connected to the bread tray through the transmission mechanism. The side wall of the casing is provided with a guide groove extending along the height direction. The lever passes through the guide groove and is partially located outside the casing. By pushing the lever downward, the bread tray can be moved in the height direction.

[0003] However, since the housing is usually supported by multiple legs underneath, and in order to ensure an aesthetically pleasing appearance, the grounding surface of the legs is usually far away from the outer edge of the bottom surface of the housing, when the lever is pushed downward, it is easy to cause the toaster to tip over with the legs close to the guide groove as the fulcrum due to excessive downward force applied to the lever, thereby affecting the user experience. Utility Model Content

[0004] The utility model aims to solve one of the technical problems in the related art at least to a certain extent.

[0005] To this end, an embodiment of the present invention provides a toaster, which has the advantage of not being easily tipped over when a lever is moved.

[0006] A toaster according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a housing, legs, and an anti-dump support member. A guide groove for engagement with a lever is provided on a side wall of the housing, the guide groove extending in a height direction. The legs are disposed on a bottom surface of the housing and used to support the housing, the legs forming a first grounding surface. The anti-dump support member is disposed on the bottom surface of the housing and forming a second grounding surface. On a projection plane perpendicular to the height direction, at least a portion of the projection of the second grounding surface and the projection of the guide groove are located on the same side as the projection of the first grounding surface.

[0007] According to the toaster of the embodiment of the present invention, supporting feet are provided on the bottom surface of the casing to support the casing by the supporting feet. On this basis, an anti-dumping support member is further provided on the bottom surface of the casing, and on the projection surface perpendicular to the height direction, at least a portion of the projection of the second grounding surface for grounding on the anti-dumping support member is closer to the projection of the guide groove than the projection of the first grounding surface for grounding on the supporting feet. Therefore, when the lever is moved, when the toaster tends to tip forward with the first grounding surface closer to the guide groove as a fulcrum, the anti-dumping support member applies an upward supporting force to the front end of the casing to effectively offset the downward force applied to the front end of the casing by the lever. As a result, the probability of the toaster tipping over is reduced, and the user experience is improved.

[0008] Optionally, on a projection plane perpendicular to the height direction, at least a portion of the projection of the second ground contact surface coincides with the projection of the guide groove.

[0009] In the toaster of the present embodiment, at least a portion of the projection of the second grounding surface is arranged to overlap with the projection of the guide slot. That is, at least a portion of the second grounding surface is arranged directly below the guide slot. This can better offset the downward force exerted by the lever on the front end of the housing, thereby achieving a better anti-tilt effect.

[0010] Optionally, the distance between the first ground plane and the bottom surface of the housing is less than or equal to the distance between the second ground plane and the bottom surface of the housing.

[0011] In the toaster of the present embodiment, the maximum height dimension of the legs is set to be less than or equal to the maximum height dimension of the anti-dump support member. This ensures that when the toaster is placed horizontally, the second grounding surface of the anti-dump support member can be reliably grounded, thereby effectively achieving reliable support for the front end of the casing and preventing the toggle lever from rocking back and forth when the toggle lever is moved due to the second grounding surface of the anti-dump support member being suspended in the air.

[0012] Optionally, a height difference between the first ground plane and the second ground plane is d, where 0≤d≤0.5mm.

[0013] The toaster of the present invention is designed so that 0≤d≤0.5mm is set. This ensures that the second grounding surface of the anti-dumping support member is reliably grounded, thereby ensuring reliable support for the front end of the housing. It also prevents the anti-dumping support member from having a large maximum height dimension, which would otherwise cause the toaster to be placed at a poor level and have a poor appearance.

[0014] Optionally, the support leg includes a body and an elastic pad, the body is arranged on the bottom surface of the housing, the elastic pad is connected to the body, at least part of the elastic pad is located on the side of the body away from the housing, and the elastic pad forms the first grounding surface.

[0015] The toaster of the present invention is provided with an elastic pad, which, on the one hand, ensures flexible contact between the toaster and the work surface, thereby reducing noise caused by vibration when the toaster is working, and on the other hand, increases friction between the toaster and the work surface, thereby ensuring reliable placement of the toaster on the work surface.

[0016] Optionally, a mounting hole is provided on a side of the body facing away from the housing, and a portion of the elastic pad is interference-fitted in the mounting hole;

[0017] And / or, the elastic pad is bonded to the body.

[0018] In the toaster of the present invention, a portion of the elastic pad is interference-fitted in the mounting hole, so that the elastic pad is efficiently mounted on the body. By bonding the elastic pad to the body, the connection strength between the two is high, and the elastic pad is not easy to fall off.

[0019] Optionally, the casing includes an upper shell and a base, the upper shell is provided with the guide groove, the upper shell and the base are detachably connected, and the base, the body and the anti-dumping support are integrally formed.

[0020] The toaster of the present invention is divided into an upper shell and a base, and the base, the body and the anti-dumping support are integrally formed, which effectively reduces the number of parts of the toaster and reduces the manufacturing cost of the shell, the body and the anti-dumping support.

[0021] Optionally, there are multiple supporting legs, and the anti-dumping support member and the multiple supporting legs are arranged at intervals along the circumference of the casing.

[0022] The toaster of the present invention has an anti-dumping support member and a plurality of supporting legs arranged at intervals along the circumference of the housing, so that the anti-dumping support member and the supporting legs are arranged at intervals, so that the anti-dumping support member does not affect the original arrangement of the supporting legs, and the anti-dumping support member is smaller in size and has a lower cost.

[0023] Optionally, the number of the supporting legs is four and they are distributed in a rectangular shape on the bottom surface of the housing.

[0024] The toaster of the embodiment of the utility model has four rectangularly distributed legs that can achieve reliable support for the toaster. Combined with the anti-dumping support member, the front end of the toaster can be supported by the anti-dumping support member and the two adjacent legs, thereby providing better support for the front end of the toaster and a higher anti-dumping effect.

[0025] Optionally, there are multiple supporting legs and they are arranged at intervals along the circumference of the housing. The anti-dumping support member extends along the circumference of the housing, and the anti-dumping support member is connected between two adjacent supporting legs.

[0026] The toaster of the present invention further increases the distribution area of ​​the second grounding surface by providing an anti-tipping support member connected between two adjacent legs. The anti-tipping support member provides a higher supporting effect on the front end of the toaster, and the toaster is less likely to tip over when the lever is moved.

[0035] The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below, and examples of the embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to be used to explain the present invention, but should not be understood as limiting the present invention.

[0036] The following combination Figures 1-6 A toaster according to an embodiment of the present invention is described.

[0037] The toaster of this embodiment includes a housing 1, a support leg 2, and an anti-tilt support member 3. A guide slot 111 is provided on the sidewall of the housing 1 for engagement with a lever 4, extending in the height direction. The support leg 2 is provided on the bottom surface of the housing 1 and serves to support the housing 1. The support leg 2 forms a first grounding surface. The anti-tilt support member 3 is provided on the bottom surface of the housing 1 and forms a second grounding surface. In a projection perpendicular to the height direction, at least a portion of the second grounding surface and the projection of the guide slot 111 lie on the same side as the projection of the first grounding surface.

[0038] According to the toaster of the embodiment of the present invention, a support leg 2 is provided on the bottom surface of the casing 1 to support the casing 1 through the support leg 2. On this basis, an anti-dumping support member 3 is further provided on the bottom surface of the casing 1. In the projection plane perpendicular to the height direction, at least a portion of the projection of the second grounding surface for grounding on the anti-dumping support member 3 is closer to the projection of the guide groove 111 than the projection of the first grounding surface for grounding on the support leg 2. Therefore, when the lever 4 is moved, when the toaster tends to tip forward with the first grounding surface closer to the guide groove 111 as the fulcrum, the anti-dumping support member 3 applies an upward supporting force to the front end of the casing 1 to effectively offset the downward force applied to the front end of the casing 1 by the lever 4. This reduces the probability of the toaster tipping over and improves the user experience.

[0039] It should be noted that the guide groove 111 is arranged at the center position of the front side wall of the casing 1. On the projection plane perpendicular to the height direction, the projection of the first grounding surface is adjacent to but does not touch the outer edge of the projection of the bottom surface of the casing 1. In this embodiment, it is preferred to arrange that the projection of the second grounding surface is entirely located in front of the projection of the first grounding surface.

[0040] In some embodiments, as Figure 1 As shown, on a projection plane perpendicular to the height direction, at least a portion of the projection of the second ground plane coincides with the projection of the guide groove 111 .

[0041] That is, at least a portion of the second grounding surface is disposed directly below the guide slot 111 , thereby better offsetting the downward force exerted by the lever 4 on the front end of the housing 1 , and achieving a better anti-dumping effect.

[0042] Specifically, the anti-dumping support member 3 extends in the height direction, the lower surface of the anti-dumping support member 3 is a second grounding surface parallel to the bottom surface of the housing 1 , and the anti-dumping support member 3 is located in front of all the supporting legs 2 .

[0043] In some embodiments, the distance between the first ground plane and the bottom surface of the housing 1 is less than or equal to the distance between the second ground plane and the bottom surface of the housing 1 .

[0044] By setting the maximum height dimension of the support leg 2 to be less than or equal to the maximum height dimension of the anti-dump support 3, it is ensured that when the toaster is placed horizontally, the second grounding surface of the anti-dump support 3 can be reliably grounded, thereby effectively achieving reliable support for the front end of the housing 1 and preventing the lever 4 from shaking back and forth when it is toggled due to the second grounding surface of the anti-dump support 3 being suspended in the air.

[0045] It should be noted that if there are two legs 2, and the two legs 2 and the anti-dump support 3 are arranged in a triangle, when the toaster is placed on a work surface such as a table, the first grounding surfaces on all legs 2 and the second grounding surfaces on the anti-dump support 3 will abut the work surface. Alternatively, if there are at least four legs 2 and they are arranged in a rectangular shape, the first grounding surfaces on the two legs 2 adjacent to the anti-dump support 3 may not contact the work surface. However, at least the two first grounding surfaces and the second grounding surface will together provide reliable support for the toaster.

[0046] In some embodiments, a height difference between the first ground plane and the second ground plane is d, where 0≤d≤0.5 mm.

[0047] By setting 0≤d≤0.5mm, on the one hand, the second grounding surface of the anti-dumping support member 3 is ensured to be reliably grounded, thereby ensuring reliable support for the front end of the housing 1. On the other hand, the anti-dumping support member 3 is prevented from having a large maximum height dimension, which would result in poor levelness and poor appearance of the toaster.

[0048] Specifically, the second ground contact surface may be 0.2 mm, 0.35 mm, or 0.5 mm higher than the first ground contact surface, or the first ground contact surface and the second ground contact surface may be of the same height.

[0049] In some embodiments, as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the support leg 2 includes a body 21 and an elastic pad 22. The body 21 is arranged on the bottom surface of the housing 1. The elastic pad 22 is connected to the body 21. At least part of the elastic pad 22 is located on the side of the body 21 away from the housing 1. The elastic pad 22 forms a first grounding surface.

[0050] The provision of the elastic pad 22 ensures flexible contact between the toaster and the work surface, reducing the noise caused by vibration when the toaster is working, and increases the friction between the toaster and the work surface, ensuring the reliability of the placement of the toaster on the work surface.

[0051] Specifically, the elastic pad 22 is preferably a rubber pad, and the portion of the elastic pad 22 located below the body 21 is in a rectangular parallelepiped or cylindrical shape.

[0052] In some embodiments, a mounting hole 211 is provided on a side of the body 21 facing away from the housing 1 , and a portion of the elastic pad 22 is interference-fitted into the mounting hole 211 . And / or, the elastic pad 22 is bonded to the body 21 .

[0053] Part of the elastic pad 22 is interference-fitted into the mounting hole 211 , so that the installation efficiency of the elastic pad 22 on the main body 21 is high. By setting the elastic pad 22 and the main body 21 to be bonded, the connection strength between the two is high, and the elastic pad 22 is not easy to fall off.

[0054] Specifically, if Figure 2 As shown, the elastic pad 22 comprises a first column and a second column connected in sequence along the height direction. The outer circumference of the first column is provided with a plurality of ridges spaced along its circumference. The first column and the ridges are fitted into the mounting hole 211 through deformation of the ridges. The inner wall of the mounting hole 211 and the outer circumference of the first column are filled with adhesive. The cross-sectional area of ​​the second column is larger than that of the mounting hole 211, and the second column protrudes from the bottom of the body 21.

[0055] In some embodiments, the housing 1 includes an upper shell 11 and a base 12 . The upper shell 11 is provided with a guide groove 111 . The upper shell 11 and the base 12 are detachably connected. The base 12 , the body 21 and the anti-dumping support 3 are integrally formed.

[0056] The casing 1 is divided into an upper shell 11 and a base 12 , and the base 12 , the body 21 and the anti-dumping support 3 are integrally formed, thereby effectively reducing the number of parts of the toaster and lowering the manufacturing cost of the casing 1 , the body 21 and the anti-dumping support 3 .

[0057] Specifically, the base 12 is connected to the upper housing 11 by plugging and screwing, and the elastic pads 22 are connected to the corresponding legs 2, thereby completing the assembly of the toaster housing 1 and the legs 2.

[0058] It should be noted that a rubber pad may also be connected to the second grounding surface of the anti-dumping support 3 to further increase the friction between the toaster and the work surface, thereby ensuring the stable and reliable placement of the toaster on the work surface.

[0059] In some embodiments, as Figure 1-Figure 4 As shown, there are multiple supporting legs 2 , and the anti-dumping support member 3 and the multiple supporting legs 2 are arranged at intervals along the circumference of the housing 1 .

[0060] By arranging the anti-dumping support member 3 and the plurality of support legs 2 at intervals along the circumference of the housing 1, the support provided by the two members to the toaster is stable and reliable. By arranging the anti-dumping support member 3 and the support legs 2 at intervals, the arrangement of the anti-dumping support member 3 does not affect the arrangement of the original support legs 2, and the volume of the anti-dumping support member 3 is smaller, and the cost of the anti-dumping support member 3 is lower.

[0061] Specifically, the plurality of legs 2 are adjacent to the edge of the bottom surface of the housing 1, thereby making the distribution area of ​​the plurality of legs 2 wider and improving the placement reliability of the toaster on the work surface. The outer contour of the legs 2 is generally a frustum-like structure with a larger cross-sectional area at the top and smaller at the bottom.

[0062] In some embodiments, as Figure 4 As shown, there are four legs 2 distributed in a rectangular shape on the bottom surface of the housing 1 .

[0063] The four rectangularly distributed legs 2 can provide reliable support for the toaster. Combined with the anti-dumping support 3, the front end of the toaster can be supported by the anti-dumping support 3 and the two adjacent legs 2, which provides better support for the front end of the toaster and a higher anti-dumping effect.

[0064] Specifically, the bottom surface of the casing 1 is elliptical, and the supporting feet 2 are grouped in pairs. The two groups of supporting feet 2 are arranged on the bottom surface of the casing 1 along the front-to-back direction, and the two supporting feet 2 in each group are arranged on the bottom surface of the casing 1 along the left-to-right direction. The anti-dump support 3 is located between the two supporting feet 2 in the front group.

[0065] In some embodiments, as Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, there are multiple supporting legs 2 and they are arranged at intervals along the circumference of the housing 1 . The anti-dumping support member 3 extends along the circumference of the housing 1 , and the anti-dumping support member 3 is connected between two adjacent supporting legs 2 .

[0066] By providing an anti-dumping support member 3 connected between two adjacent legs 2, the distribution area of ​​the second grounding surface is further increased, the anti-dumping support member 3 has a higher supporting effect on the front end of the toaster, and the toaster is less likely to dump when the lever 4 is moved.

[0067] Specifically, both ends of the anti-dumping support member 3 extend to the left and right support feet 2 respectively, and the left-right dimension of the second ground contact surface of the anti-dumping support member 3 is substantially equal to the left-right dimension of the anti-dumping support member 3 .
