[0041] Example 1

[0042] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, this embodiment provides a grilling rod for a cooking utensil that allows for proper storage of the grilling rod. The grilling rod comprises a rod body that can rotate relative to the inner container of the cooking utensil, one of the two ends of the rod body being a power input end. The rod body comprises a fixed rod 1 and a movable rod 2. The movable rod 2 is rotatably connected to the fixed rod 1 at adjacent ends, and the direction of the rotation axis intersects the extension direction of the entire rod body. The rod body can be placed in a stowed state or an extended state under the rotation of the movable rod 2. In the extended state, the movable rod 2 rotates to be coaxial with the fixed rod 1. In the stowed state, the movable rod 2 rotates to intersect the fixed rod 1 in its extension direction, and the angle α formed between the movable rod 2 and the fixed rod 1 is no greater than 90°.

[0043] When the grill rod is not in use, Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the movable rod 2 can be rotated to the storage state so that the movable rod 2 is located on the side of the fixed rod 1, which can shorten the length of the grilling rod and reduce the space required for storing the grilling rod, making it easier for users to store the grilling rod. Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the movable rod 2 is simply rotated relative to the fixed rod 1 to its extended position, aligning the movable rod 2 with the fixed rod 1 to form a single roasting rod. This rod can then be installed in the cooking cavity of the cooking appliance for use. One end of the roasting rod serves as the power input, enabling the rod to rotate relative to the cooking vessel. This roasting rod design maintains normal roasting and cooking functions while also allowing for optimal storage, enhancing the user experience.

[0044] Optionally, see Figure 1 and Figure 2 There are two movable rods 2 that are rotatably connected to the two ends of the fixed rod 1. In the storage state, the two movable rods 2 rotate to be parallel to each other. Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown, in this embodiment, when the movable rod 2 is rotated to the stowed position, it is perpendicular to the fixed rod 1. The movable rod 2 has a rotation range of 0° to 90°, and both movable rods 2 can rotate 90° relative to the fixed rod 1. When the grilling rod is folded, the two movable rods 2 are arranged in parallel, reducing the horizontal dimension of the grilling rod when folded and stowed. Furthermore, the two movable rods 2 are approximately equal in length, and the length of the grilling rod when folded and stowed can be reduced by approximately half.

[0045] Furthermore, the length of the fixed rod 1 can be designed to be as short as possible so that the distance between the two movable rods 2 after they are rotated to the storage state is as small as possible, thereby minimizing the lateral size of the grilling rod after folding and reducing the lateral space required for storing the grilling rod.

[0046] Of course, in some optional embodiments, in the stowed state, after the two movable rods 2 are rotated to be located on the same side of the fixed rod 1, they can also be approximately perpendicular to the fixed rod 1. The approximately perpendicular here means that the angle between the movable rod 2 and the fixed rod 1 is close to 90°. For example, the angle between the movable rod 2 and the fixed rod 1 is 85° to 95°, for example, it can be 85°, 86°, 87°, 89°, 91°, 92°, 93°, 94°, etc.

[0047] In other optional implementation schemes, the movable rod 2 can also be designed so that in the storage state, the movable rod 2 can be rotated to be parallel to the fixed rod 1, or to form an acute angle with the fixed rod 1, or to be perpendicular to the fixed rod 1, etc., which can also shorten the length of the grilling rod and reduce the space required to store the grilling rod.

[0048] Optionally, see Figure 2 、 Figure 3 and Figure 4 The grilling rod also includes a locking assembly 3 disposed between the fixed rod 1 and the movable rod 2. The locking assembly 3 is used to lock the movable rod 2 in the extended state. Specifically, after the movable rod 2 is rotated to the extended state, the locking assembly 3 is used to secure the movable rod 2 to the fixed rod 1, so that the movable rod 2 remains in the extended state after rotation, making it easier to insert food. At the same time, the grilling rod can stably support the food during the rotation process, ensuring the cooking effect.

[0049] Continue reading Figure 2 、 Figure 3 and Figure 4 Optionally, the locking assembly 3 includes a locking sleeve 31 and a sleeve portion 32. One of the fixed rod 1 and the movable rod 2 is axially movably sleeved with the locking sleeve 31, and the other of the movable rod 2 and the fixed rod 1 is provided with the sleeve portion 32. The locking sleeve 31 can be axially moved to be sleeved with or disengaged from the sleeve portion 32. When the grilling rod is in the unfolded state, Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the movable rod 2 is coaxial with the fixed rod 1, and the locking sleeve 31 is sleeved outside the sleeve portion 32 to keep the movable rod 2 in the unfolded state. When the grilling rod needs to be stored, the locking sleeve 31 is driven to move axially away from the sleeve portion 32. At this time, the limit between the locking sleeve 31 and the sleeve portion 32 is released, and the movable rod 2 can be driven to rotate relative to the fixed rod 1 to the storage state, realizing the folding storage of the grilling rod. Figure 5 and Figure 6 shown.

[0050] Furthermore, the locking assembly 3 includes an elastic member 33, which is located within the locking sleeve 31 and acts on the locking sleeve 31, ensuring that the locking sleeve 31 always has a tendency to move axially until it engages with the sleeve portion 32, thereby keeping the movable rod 2 coaxial with the fixed rod 1. In this embodiment, the sleeve portion 32 is provided on the fixed rod 1, and the locking sleeve 31 is provided on the movable rod 2. A first limiting portion 311 is provided within the locking sleeve 31, and a second limiting portion 22 is provided on the movable rod 2. The elastic member 33 is constrained between the first limiting portion 311 and the second limiting portion 22 to limit the range and direction of extension and retraction of the elastic member 33, ensuring that the locking sleeve 31 can securely engage with the sleeve portion 32.

[0051] When the grilling rod is in the unfolded state, the elastic member 33 is compressed and limited between the first limiting portion 311 and the second limiting portion 22, so that the elastic member 33 has sufficient elastic force to push the locking sleeve 31 to maintain the state of being connected with the connecting portion 32. In other words, the locking sleeve 31 always has the tendency to move axially until it is connected with the connecting portion 32. When the grilling rod is folded and stored, the locking sleeve 31 can be driven axially by overcoming the elastic force of the elastic member 33 until the locking sleeve 31 is separated from the connecting portion 32, thereby releasing the limit between the locking sleeve 31 and the connecting portion 32. When the movable rod 2 is unfolded again, after the movable rod 2 rotates to be coaxial with the fixed rod 1, the elastic member 33 releases its elastic potential energy, driving the locking sleeve 31 to automatically connect axially to the outside of the connecting portion 32, thus achieving automatic connection between the locking sleeve 31 and the connecting portion 32, without the need to manually drive the locking sleeve 31. The first limiting portion 311 and the second limiting portion 22 can limit the elastic member 33 between the locking sleeve 31 and the movable rod 2 or the fixed rod 1, ensuring that the elastic member 33 can stably drive the locking sleeve 31 to move axially.

[0052] For example, see Figure 3 and Figure 4 The first limiting portion 311 is an annular protrusion arranged on the inner wall of the locking sleeve 31, the second limiting portion 22 is an annular protrusion arranged on the outer peripheral surface of the movable rod 2, and the elastic member 33 is a spring. The spring is arranged outside the movable rod 2, and the two ends of the spring respectively abut against the first limiting portion 311 and the second limiting portion 22.

[0053] Further, see Figure 5 and Figure 6When the movable rod 2 rotates to the storage state, the end of the locking sleeve 31 can be pressed against the outer peripheral surface of the fixed rod 1 under the elastic force of the elastic member 33 to limit the rotation of the movable rod 2 relative to the fixed rod 1, so that the movable rod 2 can be stably maintained in the storage state, preventing the folded grilling rod from automatically unfolding, making it easier to store the grilling rod.

[0054] Optionally, see Figure 3 、 Figure 4 and Figure 6 The connection between the sleeve portion 32 and the fixed rod 1 forms a first stop shoulder 12, and the locking sleeve 31 can abut against the first stop shoulder 12 under the elastic force of the elastic member 33. Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, when the movable rod 2 is in the expanded state, under the elastic force of the elastic member 33, the end surface of the locking sleeve 31 abuts against the first stop shoulder 12 to limit the movement of the locking sleeve 31 relative to the movable rod 2, ensuring that the locking sleeve 31 and the sleeve connection portion 32 are securely locked.

[0055] Exemplarily, the sleeve portion 32 is integrally formed with the fixing rod 1 , and the diameter of the sleeve portion 32 is smaller than the diameter of the fixing rod 1 , so as to form the above-mentioned first stop shoulder 12 therebetween.

[0056] Furthermore, the movable rod 2 is provided with a second stop shoulder 23, and the first limiting portion 311 can abut against the second stop shoulder 23 under the elastic force of the elastic member 33. The cooperation between the second stop shoulder 23 and the first limiting portion 311 can further limit the axial movement of the locking sleeve 31, preventing the locking sleeve 31 from separating from the movable rod 2. The locking sleeve 31 can only move axially within a limited range, ensuring that the locking function of the locking sleeve 31 can be properly performed.

[0057] In other embodiments, the first stop shoulder 12 may be provided only on the fixed rod 1 , or the second stop shoulder 23 may be provided only on the movable rod 2 , as long as the movement stroke of the locking sleeve 31 can be limited.

[0058] In some embodiments, the sleeve portion 32 may be provided on the movable rod 2, while the locking sleeve 31 may be provided on the fixed rod 1. In this case, a first limiting portion 311 is provided within the locking sleeve 31, and a second limiting portion 22 is provided on the fixed rod 1. The elastic member 33 is constrained between the first limiting portion 311 and the second limiting portion 22. The structural design of the locking sleeve 31 for axial movement on the fixed rod 1 can be referred to the arrangement of the locking sleeve 31 on the movable rod 2 and will not be further described here.

[0059] In an alternative embodiment, Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the locking sleeve 31 is a tubular structure of equal diameter, and the locking sleeve 31 is coaxially sleeved outside the fixed rod 1 and the movable rod 2.

[0060] In another alternative embodiment, Figure 7 As shown, the diameter of the fixed rod 1 is larger than that of the movable rod 2, and the outer diameter of the locking sleeve 31 gradually decreases from the fixed rod 1 to the movable rod 2. In other words, the locking sleeve 31 is generally truncated cone-shaped. This configuration allows for a smooth transition between the outer circumference of the locking sleeve 31 and the outer circumferences of the fixed rod 1 and the movable rod 2, making it easier for users to insert and secure food.

[0061] Optionally, see Figure 1 and Figure 4 One of the fixed rod 1 and the movable rod 2 is provided with a rotation groove 11, and the other is provided with an adapter 21. The adapter 21 is rotatably installed in the rotation groove 11 to realize the rotation connection between the movable rod 2 and the fixed rod 1.

[0062] In this embodiment, the adapter 21 is rotatably connected to the groove wall of the rotating groove 11 via a rotating shaft. Figure 4 As shown, the rotation groove 11 is formed at the end of the fixed rod 1 and radially penetrates the fixed rod 1. The fixed rod 1 is provided with a first rotation hole 13 above and below the rotation groove 11, which is connected to the rotation groove 11. The adapter 21 is provided with a second rotation hole 212 opposite the first rotation hole 13. The rotation shaft sequentially penetrates the upper first rotation hole 13, the second rotation hole 212, and the lower first rotation hole 13 to achieve a rotational connection between the adapter 21 and the groove wall of the rotation groove 11. For example, the rotation shaft is an anchor nail fixed to the fixed rod 1 by riveting to ensure the stability of the rotational connection.

[0063] Furthermore, the adapter 21 is integrally formed with the movable rod 2 , and the radial dimension of the adapter 21 is larger than the radial dimension of the movable rod 2 , so as to form a second stop shoulder 23 at the connection between the adapter 21 and the movable rod 2 .

[0064] Optionally, the end of one of the fixed rod 1 and the movable rod 2, facing away from the corresponding rotation slot 11 or adapter 21, serves as a power input terminal for connecting to a driver of the cooking appliance. Specifically, the end of the fixed rod 1 or the movable rod 2, facing away from the other, serves as a power input terminal, which can be connected to the driver of the cooking appliance. The driver drives the rod to rotate within the cooking cavity of the cooking appliance, achieving the roasting function. For example, the driver can be a roasting motor.

[0065] In this embodiment, movable rods 2 are provided at both ends of the fixed rod 1. Adapters 21 are provided on the movable rods 2. One end of the movable rods 2 away from the adapter 21 is designed as a power input end, which is connected to the driver.

[0066] In other embodiments, if the rod body includes a fixed rod 1 and a movable rod 2, a rotation groove 11 is provided on the fixed rod 1, and an adapter 21 is provided on the movable rod 2, then at this time, the end of the fixed rod 1 facing away from the rotation groove 11 can be designed as a power input end and connected to the driver; or the end of the movable rod 2 facing away from the adapter 21 can be designed as a power input end and connected to the driver.

[0067] Optionally, see Figure 3 、 Figure 4 and Figure 5 The adapter 21 is provided with a chamfered structure 211 at one end of the rotating groove 11 to eliminate sharp corners at the end of the adapter 21, ensuring smooth rotation of the adapter 21 within the rotating groove 11 and more labor-saving operation of folding the grilling rod. For example, the chamfered structure 211 is a rounded chamfer processed on the adapter 21.

[0068] Furthermore, the outer surface of the adapter 21 includes a flat surface opposing the wall of the rotation groove 11 and a side surface 213 opposing the side notch of the rotation groove 11. The side surface 213 is an outwardly convex arc. The upper and lower flat surfaces of the adapter 21 mate with the upper and lower walls of the rotation groove 11, ensuring a stable rotational connection between the adapter 21 and the rotation groove 11. The convex arc of the side surface 213 of the adapter 21 mates with the inner circumference of the locking sleeve 31, facilitating axial movement of the locking sleeve 31 relative to the movable rod 2 and simplifying and reducing effort in the unlocking operation.

[0069] In other embodiments, the rotating groove 11 may also include a connected spherical groove and a through groove radially passing through the fixed rod 1. The adapter 21 is a ball head arranged at the end of the movable rod 2. The ball head and the spherical groove rotate together to realize the rotating connection between the movable rod 2 and the fixed rod 1. The movable rod 2 can be rotated out and in from the opening of the through groove to realize 90° rotation and folding of the movable rod 2.

[0070] This embodiment also provides a cooking appliance comprising a housing, an inner container, a driver, and the aforementioned grilling rod. The inner container is disposed within the housing, and the grilling rod is removably mounted within the inner container. A power input end of the grilling rod is drivably connected to a power output end of the driver, and the driver is capable of driving the grilling rod to rotate relative to the inner container. The cooking appliance may be an oven, a steam-bake combination, or the like. A cooking cavity is formed within the inner container, and support rails are provided within the inner container. The driver may be disposed between the housing and the inner container, with the power output end of the driver at least partially exposed within the cooking cavity.

[0071] See Figure 1The grilling rod body is provided with a first mounting portion 24 at one end and a second mounting portion 25 at the other end. The first mounting portion 24 is provided with a limiting slot 241 for engaging and rotating with the support rail. The second mounting portion 25 is connected to the power output of a driver, which drives the grilling rod to rotate in the inner pot, thereby achieving the rotary grilling cooking function. The driver can be a rotary grilling motor, etc.

[0072] With the cooking utensil using this grilling rod, users can choose to rotate and unfold the grilling rod or rotate and fold the grilling rod according to their needs. This does not affect the normal rotating and grilling cooking function, while at the same time allowing the grilling rod to be reasonably stored, thereby improving the user experience.

[0073] In other embodiments, the driver may not be provided in the inner pot, and mounting grooves are provided on the opposite side walls of the inner pot. The two ends of the grilling rod can respectively engage with the two mounting grooves to achieve fixed installation of the grilling rod in the inner pot.

[0074] Example 2

[0075] This embodiment provides a grilling rod for a cooking utensil, which differs from the first embodiment in that:

[0076] In this embodiment, one of the locking sleeve 31 and the connecting portion 32 is provided with an elastic buckle, and the other is provided with a slot. When the locking sleeve 31 is mounted on the connecting portion 32, the elastic buckle engages with the slot. In other words, the elastic buckle cooperates with the slot to control the position of the locking sleeve 31, securely fixing the locking sleeve 31 to the connecting portion 32 and ensuring that the movable rod 2 can be stably maintained in the deployed state.

[0077] For example, a recessed slot can be formed on the outer circumference of the sleeve portion 32, and an elastic buckle can be provided on the inner wall of the locking sleeve 31. During the insertion of the locking sleeve 31 and the sleeve portion 32, the elastic buckle first abuts against the outer circumference of the sleeve portion 32 to produce elastic deformation. When the elastic buckle moves with the locking sleeve 31 to align with the slot, the elastic buckle can be locked in the slot under its own elastic force to limit further movement of the locking sleeve 31. When folding the grilling rod, the locking sleeve 31 is driven to move axially to overcome the elastic force of the elastic buckle, causing the elastic buckle to disengage from the slot, releasing the limit between the locking sleeve 31 and the sleeve portion 32, at which point the folding movable rod 2 can be rotated.

[0078] Furthermore, a plurality of slots may be provided at intervals along the circumferential direction on the sleeve portion 32 , and correspondingly, a plurality of elastic buckles may be provided in the locking sleeve 31 to improve the plugging stability between the locking sleeve 31 and the sleeve portion 32 .

[0079] In other embodiments, an elastic buckle may be provided on the sleeve portion 32 and a slot may be provided on the locking sleeve 31 , as long as the elastic buckle cooperates with the slot to restrict the movement of the locking sleeve 31 .

[0080] Note that the above are merely preferred embodiments of the present invention and the technical principles employed. Those skilled in the art will appreciate that the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments described herein, and that various obvious changes, readjustments, and substitutions are readily apparent to those skilled in the art without departing from the scope of protection of the present invention. Therefore, while the present invention has been described in detail through the above embodiments, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments and may include many other equivalent embodiments without departing from the scope of the present invention. The scope of the present invention is determined by the appended claims.
