Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of cooking utensils, in particular to a grilling rod and a cooking utensil. Background Art

[0002] Existing cooking appliances, such as ovens and steam ovens, have a rotary baking function, that is, they are equipped with baking rods. When baking food, the baking rods are inserted and fixed to the food, and the baking motor drives the baking rods to rotate, so that the food can rotate 360 ​​degrees to ensure that the food is heated evenly.

[0003] However, existing baking rods are mostly one-piece metal rods with a fixed length. When not in use, they require sufficient space to store them, making them inconvenient to store. Furthermore, different sizes of ovens and steam ovens require baking rods of different lengths, making them less versatile.

[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a grilling rod and a cooking utensil to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0005] In view of the above problems, the purpose of the present invention is to provide a grilling rod and a cooking utensil, which can improve the versatility of the grilling rod and realize the reasonable storage of the grilling rod.

[0008] One of the two adjacent rod segments is provided with a first limiting structure, and the other is provided with a second limiting structure. The first limiting structure cooperates with the second limiting structure to fix the two adjacent rod segments in the expanded state.

[0009] As an optional solution of the grilling rod of the present invention, the first limiting structure is an elastic locking protrusion, and the second limiting structure is a locking hole. The elastic locking protrusion can be locked in the locking hole to fix the two adjacent rod sections.

[0010] As an optional solution for the grilling rod of the present invention, one of the two adjacent rod segments is provided with multiple latching holes spaced apart along the length direction of the rod body, and the other is provided with the elastic latching protrusion, which can move along the radial direction of the rod segment and selectively latch into any of the latching holes.

[0011] As an optional solution for the grill rod of the present invention, the elastic locking protrusion includes an elastic arm and a limiting protrusion arranged on the elastic arm. The limiting protrusion can move inward along the radial direction of the rod segment under pressure to disengage from the corresponding locking hole, thereby releasing the limitation between the two adjacent rod segments; and the elastic recovery effect of the elastic arm prompts the limiting protrusion to always have a tendency to move outward along the radial direction of the rod segment, and to be locked in the locking hole when aligned with the corresponding locking hole.

[0012] As an optional solution of the grilling rod of the present invention, the first limiting structure includes a first threaded structure, and the second limiting structure includes a second threaded structure, and the first threaded structure can be threadedly connected to the second threaded structure to fix two adjacent rod segments;

[0013] Alternatively, the first limiting structure includes a locking piece, and the second limiting structure includes a connecting hole provided on the inner wall of the storage cavity, the connecting hole is connected to the outside, and the locking piece is passed through and connected to the connecting hole and pressed tightly against the rod segment in the storage cavity.

[0014] As an optional solution of the grilling rod of the present invention, the rod body includes two rod segments, the two rod segments are respectively a first rod segment and a second rod segment, the first rod segment has the storage cavity, and the second rod segment can be stored in the storage cavity;

[0015] Alternatively, the rod body includes three rod segments, the three rod segments are respectively a first rod segment, a second rod segment and a third rod segment, the first rod segment and the second rod segment both have the storage cavity, the second rod segment can be stored in the storage cavity of the first rod segment, and the third rod segment can be stored in the storage cavity of the second rod segment;

[0016] Alternatively, the rod body includes three rod segments, the three rod segments are respectively a first rod segment, a second rod segment and a third rod segment, the second rod segment has the storage cavity, and the first rod segment and the third rod segment can both be stored in the storage cavity of the second rod segment.

[0017] As an optional solution of the grilling rod of the present invention, one of the two adjacent rod segments has the storage cavity and includes a connected main body segment and a transition segment, and the cross-sectional area of ​​the transition segment gradually decreases in the direction extending toward the other rod segment.

[0018] As an optional solution of the grilling rod of the present invention, at least one of the rod segments is provided with a temperature detecting member, and the temperature detecting member is used to detect the temperature of the food to be cooked.

[0019] As an optional solution of the grilling rod of the present invention, one of the two adjacent rod sections is provided with a guide groove, and the other is provided with a guide protrusion, and the guide protrusion and the guide groove are slidably matched in the length direction of the rod body.

[0020] On the other hand, a cooking utensil is provided, comprising a box body, an inner pot, a driver, and the grilling rod as described above, wherein the inner pot is arranged in the box body, the grilling rod is detachably installed in the inner pot, one of the two ends of the rod body is a power input end, the power input end is drivingly connected to the power output end of the driver, and the driver can drive the rod body to rotate relative to the inner pot.

[0021] The beneficial effects of the utility model are:

[0022] The grilling rod and cooking utensil provided by the present invention can be partially or completely moved into the storage cavity of the other rod when the grilling rod is not in use, thereby retracting the rod body and shortening the overall length of the grilling rod. This reduces the length of the grilling rod, thereby reducing the space required for storage and achieving optimal storage of the grilling rod. To reuse the grilling rod, the grilling rod can be simply adjusted to a position where the at least two rod segments extend out of the storage cavity from the relatively retracted state. The two extended rod segments are then secured together using first and second retaining structures, bringing the rod body into an extended state. The grilling rod can then be installed in the cooking cavity of the cooking utensil for use. The provision of the first and second retaining structures prevents the adjusted length of the grilling rod from changing again, ensuring the support stability of the grilling rod. Furthermore, the number of rod segments that extend out of the storage cavity can be selected based on the width of the cooking cavity, thereby adjusting the length of the grilling rod body to meet the needs of cooking utensils of different specifications and improving the versatility of the grilling rod.

[0045] Example 1

[0046] like Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, this embodiment provides a grilling rod 100 with excellent versatility and suitable storage. The grilling rod 100 comprises a rod body having at least two sequentially connected rod segments. One of the two adjacent rod segments is provided with a storage cavity, and the other is arranged to move along the length of the rod body so that at least a portion of the rod is respectively concealed within or extended from the storage cavity, thereby enabling the entire rod body to be in a retracted or extended state. One of the two adjacent rod segments is provided with a first retaining structure, and the other is provided with a second retaining structure. The first retaining structure and the second retaining structure cooperate to secure the two adjacent rod segments in the extended state.

[0047] The expanded state here refers to when the grilling rod 100 is in use, after the rod body is adjusted to a desired length, one of the two adjacent rod segments extends a certain distance relative to the storage cavity of the other. The collapsed state refers to when the grilling rod 100 is stored, after the rod body is adjusted to the shortest length, one of the two adjacent rod segments can be completely hidden in the storage cavity of the other, or one of the two adjacent rod segments can be mostly hidden in the storage cavity of the other, with a small portion exposed outside the storage cavity, but the length of the exposed portion is less than the length of the rod segment extending from the storage cavity in the expanded state.

[0048] When grilling rod 100 is not in use, one of the two adjacent rod segments is partially or completely moved and stored in the storage cavity of the other, causing the rod to be in a retracted state. This shortens the overall length of grilling rod 100, thereby reducing its length and the space required for storage. To reuse grilling rod 100, simply adjust at least one of the two rod segments to a position where it extends out of the storage cavity in its relatively retracted state. The two extended rod segments are then secured together using the first and second retaining structures, allowing the rod to be in an extended state and maintaining its current length. Grilling rod 100 can then be installed in the cooking cavity of a cooking appliance for use. The provision of the first and second retaining structures prevents the adjusted length of grilling rod 100 from changing again, ensuring the support stability of grilling rod 100. In addition, the number of rod sections extending out of the storage cavity can be adjusted according to the width of the cooking cavity, and the length of the rod body of the grilling rod 100 can be adjusted to meet the use requirements of cooking utensils of different specifications and improve the versatility of the grilling rod 100.

[0049] Optionally, see Figure 1 and Figure 2 The first retaining structure is an elastic latch 22, and the second retaining structure is a latch hole 14. The elastic latch 22 can be engaged with the latch hole 14 to secure the two adjacent rod segments. In the retracted state, the elastic latch 22 is in an elastically deformed state. During the transition from the retracted state to the extended state, when the elastic latch 22 aligns with the latch hole 14, the elastic latch 22 snaps into the latch hole 14 under the action of elastic force, locking the two adjacent rod segments and maintaining them in the extended state, ensuring that the grilling rod 100 can stably support food during cooking.

[0050] Optionally, the body of grilling rod 100 includes two connected segments, namely a first segment 1 and a second segment 2. First segment 1 defines a storage cavity in which second segment 2 can be stored. To store grilling rod 100, second segment 2 is retracted into the cavity within first segment 1 to shorten the length of grilling rod 100. To use grilling rod 100, second segment 2 is then pulled out of the cavity.

[0051] In this embodiment, refer to Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 3 Both the first and second sections 1 and 2 are tubular structures. The diameter of the first section 1 is greater than that of the second section 2. The tubular cavity of the first section 1 serves as the storage cavity. For example, the length of the first section 1 is approximately equal to the length of the second section 2. When the grilling rod 100 is contracted, its length is approximately halved, thereby reducing the space required to store the grilling rod 100 and ensuring optimal storage of the grilling rod 100.

[0052] Optionally, one of the two adjacent rod segments is provided with a plurality of latching holes 14 at intervals along the length direction of the rod body of the grilling rod, and the other is provided with an elastic latching protrusion 22. The elastic latching protrusion 22 can move along the radial direction of the rod segment and selectively latch into any latching hole 14. Taking the two adjacent rod segments as the first rod segment 1 and the second rod segment 2 as an example, the first rod segment 1 is provided with a plurality of latching holes 14, and the second rod segment 2 is provided with an elastic latching protrusion 22. When the elastic latching protrusion 22 is latched into the latching holes 14 at different positions, the length of the second rod segment 2 extending relative to the first rod segment 1 is different, thereby achieving multi-stage adjustment of the total length of the two adjacent rod segments, making the length adjustment range of the rod body of the grilling rod 100 wider, and further improving the versatility of the grilling rod 100. Figure 1 and Figure 2 The first rod section 1 is provided with a plurality of locking holes 14 , and the second rod section 2 is provided with an elastic locking protrusion 22 .

[0053] Optionally, see Figure 2 and Figure 3 The elastic locking protrusion 22 includes an elastic arm 221 and a limiting protrusion 222 provided on the elastic arm 221. The limiting protrusion 222 can move radially inward along the rod segment under pressure to disengage the corresponding locking hole 14, thereby releasing the restriction between the two adjacent rod segments. In addition, the elastic recovery effect of the elastic arm 221 causes the limiting protrusion 222 to always have a tendency to move radially outward along the rod segment, and to be locked in the locking hole 14 when aligned with the corresponding locking hole 14. In this embodiment, the first rod segment 1 and the second rod segment 2 are both tubular structures. The second rod segment 2 is provided with a movable hole 23 connected to its lumen. The elastic arm 221 is located in the lumen of the second rod segment 2 and includes a first arm and a second arm arranged at an angle. One end of the first arm is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the lumen of the second rod segment 2. The limiting protrusion 222 is located on the second arm and is movably provided in the movable hole 23 along the radial direction of the second rod segment 2. When the extension length of the second rod segment 2 is adjusted, the inner wall of the tubular cavity of the first rod segment 1 can squeeze the limiting protrusion 222 to move radially into the tubular cavity of the second rod segment 2, so that the limiting protrusion 222 is separated from the current locking hole 14. At the same time, the elastic arm 221 is squeezed and deformed to accumulate elastic potential energy. When the limiting protrusion 222 moves to align with the next locking hole 14, the limiting protrusion 222 can be locked in the corresponding locking hole 14 under the elastic force of the elastic arm 221.

[0054] Furthermore, the limiting protrusion 222 has an arc-shaped guide surface, which is used to guide the limiting protrusion 222 to engage in or disengage from the engaging hole 14, which is beneficial for the elastic engaging protrusion 22 to engage and disengage from the engaging hole 14, thereby improving the convenience of adjusting the telescopic length of the grilling rod 100.

[0055] In other embodiments, a clearance groove may also be opened on the tube wall of the second rod segment 2, one end of the elastic arm 221 is fixed to the groove wall of the clearance groove, and can be elastically deformed along the radial direction of the second rod segment 2 in the clearance groove, and the limiting protrusion 222 is located at the other end of the elastic arm 221. When the extension length of the second rod segment 2 is telescopically adjusted, the limiting protrusion 222 can be selectively inserted into any one of the card holes 14, which can also achieve the fixation of the first rod segment 1 and the second rod segment 2.

[0056] Optionally, one of the two adjacent rod segments is provided with a first guide structure, and the other is provided with a second guide structure, and the first guide structure and the second guide structure are slidably engaged with each other along the length direction of the rod body of the grilling rod 100. This arrangement allows for smoother movement when one of the two adjacent rod segments is extended and retracted relative to the other, preventing jamming, and making it easier to adjust the rod body length of the grilling rod 100.

[0057] Optionally, the first guide structure is a guide groove, and the second guide structure is a guide protrusion, and the guide protrusion slidably engages with the guide groove. For example, taking the first rod segment 1 and the second rod segment 2 as examples, a guide groove can be recessed on the inner wall of the receiving cavity of the first rod segment 1, and a guide protrusion can be convexly provided on the outer circumference of the second rod segment 2. When the second rod segment 2 extends or retracts relative to the receiving cavity of the first rod segment 1, the guide protrusion cooperates with the guide groove to guide the movement direction of the second rod segment 2, thereby making the telescopic movement of the second rod segment 2 smoother.

[0058] Example 2

[0059] This embodiment provides a grilling rod 100, which differs from the first embodiment in that:

[0060] Optionally, see Figure 4 and Figure 5 The grilling rod 100 comprises three sequentially connected segments: a first segment 1, a second segment 2, and a third segment 3. Both the first segment 1 and the second segment 2 have a storage cavity. The second segment 2 can be stored in the storage cavity of the first segment 1, and the third segment 3 can be stored in the storage cavity of the second segment 2. That is, when the second segment 2 and the third segment 3 are adjusted to be hidden in their corresponding storage cavities, the first segment 1, the second segment 2, and the third segment 3 are sequentially inserted from the outside to the inside, ultimately forming a short rod. This effectively shortens the length of the grilling rod 100 and makes it easier for users to store it.

[0061] In this embodiment, the first rod segment 1, the second rod segment 2, and the third rod segment 3 are all tubular structures, and the lumens of the first rod segment 1 and the second rod segment 2 serve as the aforementioned receiving chamber. The second rod segment 2 is telescopically disposed within the lumen of the first rod segment 1, and the third rod segment 3 is telescopically disposed within the lumen of the second rod segment 2.

[0062] Furthermore, the lengths of the first and third sections 1 and 3 are both greater than the length of the second section 2, allowing the second section 2 to be completely accommodated within the first section 1. When the third section 3 is adjusted to be hidden within the compartment, a small portion of it is exposed outside the compartment of the second section 2. The retracted length of the grilling rod 100 is approximately one-third of its original length. Leaving a portion of the third section 3 exposed makes it easier to extend the grilling rod 100 by grasping the exposed portion of the third section 3 and sequentially extending the third and second sections 2, making installation of the grilling rod 100 more convenient.

[0063] In other embodiments, the first rod segment 1, the second rod segment 2 and the third rod segment 3 can also be designed to be equal in length, or the lengths of the first rod segment 1, the second rod segment 2 and the third rod segment 3 can be designed to decrease in sequence. The design can be based on actual needs and is not limited to the length design method listed in this embodiment.

[0064] For example, the first rod segment 1, the second rod segment 2 and the third rod segment 3 are all square tubes. In other embodiments, the first rod segment 1, the second rod segment 2 and the third rod segment 3 can also be round tubes.

[0065] Optionally, see Figure 4 and Figure 5 One of the two adjacent rod sections has a storage cavity and includes a main section 11 and a transition section 12. The cross-sectional area of ​​the transition section 12 gradually decreases as it extends toward the other rod section. This arrangement allows for a smooth transition between the outer circumferences of the two adjacent rod sections, avoiding protrusions after the grilling rod 100 is extended, making it easier for users to insert and fix food 400 (such as Figure 6 and Figure 8 shown).

[0066] In this embodiment, Figure 4 As shown, the diameter of the first rod segment 1 is greater than the diameter of the second rod segment 2. The first rod segment 1 includes a connected main section 11 and a transition section 12. The main section 11 is a constant diameter tube, and the outer diameter of the transition section 12 is a gradually changing size, so that the outer circumferential surface of the transition section 12 is an inclined surface. The inclined surface makes a smooth transition between the outer circumferential surface of the first rod segment 1 and the outer circumferential surface of the second rod segment 2.

[0067] See Figure 6 and Figure 7This embodiment also provides a cooking appliance comprising a housing, an inner container 200, a driver 300, and the aforementioned grilling rod 100. The inner container 200 is disposed within the housing, and the grilling rod 100 is removably mounted within the inner container 200. One end of the grilling rod serves as a power input terminal, which is drivingly connected to a power output terminal of the driver 300. The driver can drive the rod to rotate relative to the inner container 200. The cooking appliance can be an oven, a steam oven, or the like, and a cooking cavity is formed within the inner container 200.

[0068] Further, see Figure 6 and Figure 7 The inner pot 200 is provided with a support rail 201. The driver 300 can be arranged between the housing and the inner pot 200, and the power output end of the driver 300 can be at least partially exposed in the cooking cavity. In this embodiment, the power output end of the driver 300 is provided with a connection portion 301, which is provided with a slot. The grilling rod 100 is provided with a first mounting portion 13 at one end and a second mounting portion 31 at the other end. The first mounting portion 13 is provided with a limiting slot 131, which is used to engage and rotate with the support rail 201. The second mounting portion 31 can be inserted into the slot. When the driver 300 is activated, it can drive the grilling rod 100 to rotate in the inner pot 200, realizing the rotary grilling cooking function. For example, two limiting slots 131 are provided on the first mounting portion 13 at intervals to adapt to cooking utensils of different specifications. The driver 300 can be a rotary grilling motor.

[0069] When using a cooking utensil with the grilling rod 100, the user can choose to shorten the length of the grilling rod 100 according to usage requirements for easy storage. At the same time, the length of the grilling rod 100 can be adjusted as needed to adapt to cooking utensils of different specifications, thereby improving the user experience.

[0070] In other embodiments, the driver 300 may not be provided in the inner pot 200 , and mounting grooves are provided on both opposite side walls of the inner pot 200 . The two ends of the grilling rod 100 can respectively engage with the two mounting grooves to achieve fixed installation of the grilling rod 100 in the inner pot 200 .

[0071] Example 3

[0072] This embodiment provides a grilling rod 100, which is further improved on the basis of the first embodiment, with the following differences:

[0073] In the prior art, the grilling rod 100 usually only has the function of supporting and fixing the food 400, and the function of the grilling rod 100 is relatively simple.

[0074] To solve the above problems, in this embodiment, refer to Figure 8 and Figure 9The grilling rod 100 also includes a temperature sensor 4, which is provided on at least one rod segment. The temperature sensor 4 is used to detect the temperature of the food 400 to be cooked. During the baking process, the temperature sensor 4 can detect the internal temperature of the food 400 in real time, allowing the user to understand the current degree of baking of the food 400 based on the temperature information, thereby preventing the food 400 from baking for too long, ensuring the baked taste of the food 400, and improving the cooking effect.

[0075] In this embodiment, the rod body of the grilling rod 100 includes a first rod segment 1, a second rod segment 2 and a third rod segment 3 connected to each other. The second rod segment 2 is provided with the above-mentioned temperature detection member 4, that is, the temperature detection member 4 is located approximately in the middle of the grilling rod 100. After the grilling rod 100 is inserted and fixed with food 400, as shown in FIG. Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the temperature detection component 4 can be located in the area where the food 400 is located to ensure the accuracy of temperature detection.

[0076] Further, see Figure 8 At least one of the rod segments is provided with a mounting cavity 21, and the temperature sensor 4 is embedded in the mounting cavity 21, thereby preventing contamination of the temperature sensor 4 and ensuring accurate temperature detection. For example, the temperature sensor 4 is an intelligent temperature sensing chip, which can be fixed to the grilling rod 100 by integral injection molding.

[0077] Furthermore, the temperature detector 4 can be connected to a mobile device such as a user's mobile phone via wireless transmission (such as Bluetooth), allowing the user to check the cooking degree of the ingredients 400 at any time through the mobile device. Alternatively, the temperature detector 4 can be connected to a control module of the cooking appliance. When the temperature detected by the temperature detector 4 reaches the temperature set in the current cooking program, the control module can control the cooking program to stop, preventing the ingredients 400 from being burnt.

[0078] In other embodiments, a temperature detection member 4 may be provided on each rod segment. When the grilling rod 100 is inserted and fixed with a plurality of food materials 400, the temperature of the food materials 400 at different positions can be detected.

[0079] Optionally, see Figure 9 When the grilling rod 100 is retracted, it can be used as a temperature probe. For example, by inserting the retracted grilling rod 100 into the food 400 placed on the baking tray 500, the grilling rod 100 can detect the temperature of the food 400 on the baking tray 500 in real time during the baking process, allowing the user to monitor the degree of baking of the food 400 and remove the cooked food 400 in a timely manner.

[0080] Example 4

[0081] This embodiment provides a grilling rod 100, which differs from the first embodiment in that:

[0082] See Figure 10 and Figure 11 The grilling rod 100 comprises three sequentially connected segments: a first segment 1, a second segment 2, and a third segment 3. The second segment 2 has a receiving cavity, into which both the first segment 1 and the third segment 3 can be accommodated. Specifically, the middle second segment 2 is tubular, and the lumen of the second segment 2 serves as the aforementioned receiving cavity. The first segment 1 and the third segment 3 can be extended or retracted from either end of the second segment 2, respectively, to adjust the overall length of the grilling rod 100.

[0083] Furthermore, the first limiting structure is an elastic latching protrusion 22, and the second limiting structure is a latching hole 14. A plurality of latching holes 14 are spaced apart along the length of the second rod segment 2. Elastic latching protrusions 22 are also provided on the first and third rod segments 1, 3. When the first and third rod segments 1, 3 extend a certain distance relative to the second rod segment 2, the elastic latching protrusions 22 engage with the latching holes 14, securing the first and second rod segments 1, 2, and the third and second rod segments 3, 2 together. This locks the length of the grilling rod 100, ensuring that the grilling rod 100 can stably support the food 400 during cooking.

[0084] Example 5

[0085] This embodiment provides a grilling rod 100, which differs from the first embodiment in that:

[0086] Optionally, the first retaining structure includes a first threaded structure, and the second retaining structure includes a second threaded structure, wherein the first threaded structure can be threadedly connected to the second threaded structure to fix two adjacent rod segments. In other words, fixing the two adjacent rod segments by screwing can also ensure that the adjacent rod segments are firmly fixed after the rod body of the grilling rod 100 is extended.

[0087] For example, a grilling rod 100 includes a first rod segment 1, a second rod segment 2, and a third rod segment 3. Each of the three rod segments is a rod-shaped structure. The first rod segment 1 has an internal thread disposed within its receiving cavity. The second rod segment 2 has an external thread disposed at one end connected to the first rod segment 1. The second rod segment 2 also has an internal thread disposed within its receiving cavity. The third rod segment 3 has an external thread disposed at one end connected to the second rod segment 2. When the third rod segment 3 extends out of the receiving cavity relative to the second rod segment 2, the third rod segment 3 is screwed together to threadably connect the third rod segment 3 with the second rod segment 2, thereby securing the two together. Similarly, when the second rod segment 2 extends out of the extension receiving cavity relative to the first rod segment 1, the second rod segment 2 is screwed together to threadably connect the second rod segment 2 with the first rod segment 1, thereby securing the grilling rod 100 in its extended state. When storing the grilling rod 100, the third rod section 3 and the second rod section 2 are respectively rotated in opposite directions to retract the third rod section 3 into the storage cavity of the second rod section 2 and retract the second rod section 2 into the storage cavity of the first rod section 1.

[0088] Example 6

[0089] This embodiment provides a grilling rod 100, which differs from the first embodiment in that:

[0090] Optionally, the first limiting structure includes a locking member, and the second limiting structure includes a connecting hole provided on the inner wall of the storage cavity, the connecting hole communicating with the outside, and the locking member passing through and connected to the connecting hole, and pressing against the rod segment in the storage cavity. For example, in the case of a grilling rod 100 comprising a first rod segment 1, a second rod segment 2, and a third rod segment 3, the first rod segment 1 is provided with a storage cavity, and a connecting hole is provided on the first rod segment 1, the connecting hole being exemplarily a threaded hole, and the locking member being exemplarily a screw. After the second rod segment 2 extends a certain length relative to the first rod segment 1, the locking member is screwed into the connecting hole until the locking member presses the second rod segment 2 against the inner wall of the storage cavity, thereby completing the fixation of the second rod segment 2 and the first rod segment 1. When storing the grilling rod 100, the locking member only needs to be loosened in the opposite direction, and the second rod segment 2 can be retracted into the storage cavity relative to the first rod segment 1.

[0091] Furthermore, the extending direction of the connecting hole is perpendicular to the length direction of the rod body of the grilling rod 100, so that the locking member can vertically press against the second rod segment 2, ensuring that the first rod segment 1 and the second rod segment 2 can be firmly fixed.

[0092] 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.
