[0002] The baking appliance usually comprises an upper baking tray assembly and a lower baking tray assembly, the upper baking tray assembly is rotatably connected to the lower baking tray, and a handle is usually arranged on the upper baking tray assembly to facilitate the user to exert force.

[0003] At present, the handle on the upper shell of the baking appliance can be divided into two types, one is a fixed handle, the handle is fixed on the upper shell, no matter whether the handle is arranged on the top surface of the upper shell in the height direction of the upper shell or is protruded on the side surface or the top surface of the upper shell in the length direction of the upper shell, the volume of the baking appliance is increased, and the handle cannot support the baking appliance when it is completely unfolded; in the prior art, the handle is a folding handle, when the upper shell is lifted, the handle needs to be lifted away from the upper shell first, and then the upper baking tray assembly is rotated relative to the lower baking tray assembly; the steps are complicated, and the handle is high in temperature when it is attached to the shell, which is easy to scald. SUMMARY

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to provide an upper cover assembly and a baking appliance, which can prevent the user from being scalded when the handle is lifted, and can support the baking appliance when it is completely unfolded.

[0005] The utility model provides an upper cover assembly for a baking appliance, the baking appliance comprises a lower shell assembly and an upper cover assembly rotatably connected to the lower shell assembly, the upper cover assembly comprises: an upper cover, the upper cover is provided with a mounting position, the mounting position is located away from one end of the upper cover assembly for rotatably connecting with the lower shell assembly; and a handle rotatably arranged in the mounting position around a rotation axis, the handle comprises a force applying part and a supporting part, the force applying part and the supporting part are located on both sides of the rotation axis respectively; the supporting part has a storage state and an unfolded state converted by rotating around the rotation axis, in the storage state, the lower surface of the supporting part is in contact with the upper cover, and in the unfolded state, the lower surface of the supporting part and the upper surface of the upper cover have an included angle.

[0006] In the storage state, the user can pull the force applying part, and the upper cover can limit the rotation of the handle relative to the upper cover when the user pulls the force applying part, so that the handle can drive the whole upper cover assembly to rotate from the closed state to the open state, thereby facilitating the user to pull the upper cover without being scalded; the user can also control the handle to rotate relative to the upper cover around the rotation axis to the unfolded state, so that the end of the support part away from the force applying part can be supported on the external plane in the open state, thereby supporting the upper cover assembly to ensure the stability and reliability of the upper cover assembly in the open state.

[0007] In one of the embodiments, the included angle is α, and 90°≤α≤130°.

[0008] In this way, in the open state, the force applied by the upper cover to the support part will not cause the handle to be accidentally rotated relative to the upper cover to the storage state, thereby improving the stability of the support part when supporting the upper cover assembly; and the included angle α is also not too large, so that the support part is not too long.

[0009] In one of the embodiments, the mounting position is a groove, and in the storage state, the support part is at least partially located in the groove.

[0010] In this way, the groove makes the support part not protrude too much from the upper cover, thereby avoiding increasing the overall size of the baking appliance.

[0011] In one of the embodiments, the groove is arranged close to the edge of the upper cover, the side wall of the groove close to the edge is provided with an opening, the circumferential side of the support part is matched with the side wall of the groove, and the rotation axis is located in the groove.

[0012] In this way, the side wall of the groove close to the edge is provided with an opening, and the rotation axis is located in the groove. Since the force applying part and the support part are located on the two sides of the rotation axis, it is beneficial to save the user's effort in the storage state, and the support part is also farther away from the end of the upper cover assembly and the lower shell assembly in the unfolded state, thereby making the support part more stable when supporting the upper cover assembly.

[0013] In one of the embodiments, the groove is arranged close to the edge of the upper cover, the side of the upper cover where the edge is located is provided with a gap, the side wall of the groove close to the edge is provided with an opening, the opening is in communication with the gap, the circumferential side of the support part is matched with the side wall of the groove, and the rotation axis is located at the gap.

[0014] In this way, the rotation axis is located at the gap, which is beneficial for the user to apply force to the force applying part, and is also beneficial for reducing or avoiding the force applying part interfering with the upper cover during the process of the handle being converted from the storage state to the unfolded state, so as to increase the rotation range of the handle.

[0015] In one of the embodiments, the recess is arranged close to the edge of the upper cover, and the side walls of the recess close to the edge of the upper cover are each provided with an opening, and the outer circumferential surface of the supporting part is substantially flush with the outer circumferential surface of the upper cover in the storage state.

[0016] In this way, the appearance of the grilling appliance can be improved, and the size of the end of the supporting part away from the force applying part is large, which can also improve the stability and reliability of the supporting part when supporting the upper cover assembly.

[0017] In one of the embodiments, in the storage state, the outer surface of the supporting part is substantially flush with the outer surface of the upper cover along the thickness direction of the upper cover.

[0018] In this way, the volume of the upper cover assembly as a whole can be reduced, which is convenient for storage, and the appearance of the grilling appliance can be improved.

[0019] In one of the embodiments, the handle is provided with a connecting part between the force applying part and the supporting part, the upper cover is provided with a cooperating part for cooperating with the connecting part to rotate, and the connecting part rotates around the rotation axis.

[0020] In this way, the stability of the connecting part rotating around the rotation axis can be ensured through the rotating cooperation of the connecting part and the cooperating part.

[0021] In one of the embodiments, one of the connecting part and the cooperating part is a protrusion, and the other is a gap matched with the protrusion; the protrusion is provided with one of a rotation shaft or a shaft hole, and the two side walls of the gap are provided with the other; and the axis of the rotation shaft is the rotation axis.

[0022] In this way, the rotation range of the connecting part can be limited when the outer circumferential wall of the protrusion abuts against the edge of the gap, and the movement of the connecting part along the length direction of the rotation shaft can be limited when the two side walls of the gap abut against the two side surfaces of the protrusion.

[0023] In one of the embodiments, the connecting part is a protrusion, the protrusion has a curved surface with an axis coaxial with the rotation axis, and the cooperating part is a gap matched with the protrusion, and the gap is a curved groove located at the connection between the upper surface and the side surface of the upper cover.

[0024] In this way, the stability of the connecting part rotating around the rotation axis can be improved through the cooperation of the curved surface of the connecting part and the curved groove, and the curved groove on the upper cover is convenient to process.

[0025] In one embodiment, the mounting position is a groove, which is arranged near the edge of the upper cover, and an opening is provided on the side wall of the groove near the edge, and the opening is connected to the curved groove. In the storage state, the support part is located in the groove, the peripheral side of the support part cooperates with the side wall of the groove, and the upper surface of the support part is flush with the upper surface of the upper cover.

[0026] Such an arrangement can not only reduce the overall volume of the upper cover assembly for easy storage, but also improve the aesthetics of the frying and grilling appliance.

[0027] In one embodiment, a first through hole is provided on the side wall of the curved groove, and a second through hole is provided on the side surface of the connecting portion and is arranged opposite to the first through hole; the upper cover assembly also includes a rotating shaft, which is inserted into the first through hole and the second through hole at the same time.

[0028] Such an arrangement makes it easy for users to install or remove the handle.

[0029] In one embodiment, a fixing member is further included, which includes a fixing seat and two blocking members. The two blocking members are spaced apart in the fixing seat, and the end of the rotating shaft close to the first through hole abuts against the blocking members; the fixing seat is fixed to the upper cover.

[0030] With this arrangement, the stopper can limit the rotation shaft from sliding axially, preventing the rotation shaft from accidentally falling out of the second through hole and causing the connecting portion to fall off the upper cover, thereby ensuring the stability and reliability of the connection between the connecting portion and the upper cover.

[0031] In one embodiment, the force-applying portion at least partially protrudes from the peripheral edge or the upper edge of the upper cover.

[0032] This arrangement makes it easier for the user to apply force to the force applying portion.

[0033] In one embodiment, in the retracted state, the force-applying portion extends obliquely from the support portion in a direction away from the upper cover, and an angle β is formed between the plane where the force-applying portion is located and the upper surface of the upper cover, satisfying: 10°≤β≤85°.

[0034] Such a configuration makes it easier for the user to apply force to the force applying portion, and the inclined configuration of the force applying portion can also reduce the dimensions of the grilling utensil in the height and length directions, thereby avoiding increasing the overall volume of the grilling utensil.

[0035] In one embodiment, in the unfolded state, the lower surface of the force-applying portion abuts against the side surface of the upper cover.

[0036] In this way, when the lower surface of the force applying part abuts against the side surface of the upper cover, the handle can be limited to continue rotating relative to the upper cover about the rotation axis, thereby improving the stability of the support part supporting the upper cover assembly.

[0037] In one of the embodiments, an anti-skid rib is arranged on the lower surface of the force applying part.

[0038] In this way, the anti-skid rib can increase the friction between the user's hand and the force applying part, preventing the user from slipping when controlling the upper cover assembly to rotate relative to the lower shell assembly through the handle.

[0039] The utility model also provides a kind of baking appliance, comprising: lower shell assembly;And the upper cover assembly of the described upper cover assembly is rotationally connected to the lower shell assembly. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS

The term "or / and" used herein includes any and all combinations of one or more related listed items.

[0052] The grilling appliance usually comprises an upper grill plate assembly and a lower grill plate assembly, the upper grill plate assembly is rotatably connected to the lower grill plate, by operating the upper grill plate assembly relative to the lower grill plate assembly rotation, usually provided with a handle on the upper grill plate assembly, in order to facilitate the user to apply force. The handle on the upper shell of the grilling appliance can be divided into two kinds at present, one is fixed handle, the handle is fixed on the upper shell, no matter the handle is arranged on the top surface of the upper shell along the height direction of the upper shell or is convex on the side surface or top surface of the upper shell along the length direction of the upper shell, which increases the volume of the grilling appliance as a whole, and cannot support when the grilling appliance is completely unfolded; there is a kind of folding handle in the prior art, when lifting the upper shell, the handle needs to be lifted away from the upper shell first, and then the rotation of the upper grill plate assembly cover assembly relative to the lower grill plate assembly lower housing assembly is realized, the steps are complicated, and the handle is attached to the shell with high temperature, which is easy to scald.

[0053] To solve the above problems, as Figures 1 to 8 shown, the application provides an upper cover assembly and a grilling appliance, the handle of the grilling appliance can not only facilitate the user to pull the cover body without being scalded, but also can play a supporting role when the grilling appliance is completely unfolded. Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the left-right direction of the grilling appliance is the width direction of the grilling appliance, the front-rear direction of the grilling appliance is the length direction of the grilling appliance, and the up-down direction of the grilling appliance is the height direction of the grilling appliance. Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the left-right direction of the grilling appliance is the width direction of the grilling appliance, the front-rear direction of the grilling appliance is the length direction of the grilling appliance, and the up-down direction of the grilling appliance is the height direction of the grilling appliance. Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the left-right direction of the grilling appliance is the width direction of the grilling appliance, the front-rear direction of the grilling appliance is the length direction of the grilling appliance, and the up-down direction of the grilling appliance is the height direction of the grilling appliance.

[0054] As shown, the left-right direction of the grilling appliance is the width direction of the grilling appliance, the front-rear direction of the grilling appliance is the length direction of the grilling appliance, and the up-down direction of the grilling appliance is the height direction of the grilling appliance. Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the left-right direction of the grilling appliance is the width direction of the grilling appliance, the front-rear direction of the grilling appliance is the length direction of the grilling appliance, and the up-down direction of the grilling appliance is the height direction of the grilling appliance.

[0055] It should be noted that the upper cover assembly 20 has a closing state as shown in Figure 1 , an open state as shown in Figures 2 to 4 , the support part 32 has a storage state as shown in Figures 1 to 2 , and an unfolded state as shown in Figures 3 to 4 . As shown, the state is explained, that is, the upper cover assembly 20 is in the closing state, and the support part 32 is in the storage state, at this time, the upper surface of the upper cover 21 and the upper surface of the support part 32 are upward, and the lower surface of the support part 32 is downward. Figure 1

[0056] In the grilling appliance provided by the embodiment of the utility model, in the storage state, the user can pull the force applying part 31 towards the +X direction, because the lower surface of the support part 32 contacts the upper cover 21, when the user pulls the force applying part 31, the upper cover 21 can limit the handle 30 from rotating relative to the upper cover 21 towards the +X direction, so that the handle 30 can drive the upper cover assembly 20 to rotate from the closing state as shown in Figure 1 to the open state as shown in Figures 2 to 4 , thereby facilitating the user to pull the upper cover 21 without being scalded, and the user can also control the handle 30 to rotate relative to the upper cover 21 along the -X direction around the rotation axis to the unfolded state, so that the upper cover assembly 20 is in the open state. Figure 4 ​In the shown open state, the end of the supporting part 32 away from the force applying part 31 can be supported on an external plane such as a table top, a counter top or the like, thereby being able to support the upper cover assembly 20 to ensure that the upper cover assembly 20 is in the open state when the user is not using the upper cover assembly 20. Figure 4 The stability and reliability of the upper cover assembly 20 in the open state.

[0057] The supporting part 32 can be in contact with the upper cover 21 through a supporting plane, in which case the lower surface of the supporting part 32 is the supporting plane, or the supporting part 32 can be in contact with the upper cover 21 through a supporting protrusion or a supporting rib or the like, in which case the lower surface of the supporting part 32 is the surface of the supporting protrusion or the supporting rib. When the supporting part 32 is in contact with the upper cover 21 through a plane, the contact area between the supporting part 32 and the upper cover 21 can be increased, thereby improving the stability when the user controls the upper cover assembly 20 to rotate from the closed state to the open state through the handle 30.

[0058] As shown in FIG. 1, the handle 30 is in the closed state, and the upper cover assembly 20 is in the closed state. Figure 4 As shown in FIG. 1, the handle 30 is in the closed state, and the upper cover assembly 20 is in the closed state. The included angle α satisfies 90°≤α≤130°. In the unfolded state, the included angle α between the lower surface of the supporting part 32 and the upper surface of the upper cover 21 is greater than or equal to 90°, and in the open state of the upper cover assembly 20, the force applied by the upper cover 21 to the supporting part 32 does not cause the handle 30 to rotate in the +X direction to the storage state relative to the upper cover 21, thereby improving the stability of the supporting part 32 when supporting the upper cover assembly 20. In addition, the included angle α between the lower surface of the supporting part 32 and the upper surface of the upper cover 21 is less than or equal to 130°, thereby avoiding that the supporting part 32 is too long due to the included angle α being too large. The included angle α can be any angle in the range of 90° to 130°, such as 90°, 100°, 110°, 120°, 130°, and the like, and is preferably 95°≤α≤120°.

[0059] As shown in FIG. 1, the handle 30 is in the closed state, and the upper cover assembly 20 is in the closed state. Figures 3 to 4As shown, in an embodiment, in the unfolded state, the lower surface of the force applying part 31 abuts against the side surface of the upper cover 21. This limits the handle 30 from continuing to rotate relative to the upper cover 21 along the -X direction about the rotation axis, thereby also improving the stability of the support part 32 when supporting the upper cover assembly 20. Of course, in other embodiments, a structure capable of limiting the support part 32 can be provided on the handle 30 or the upper cover 21, for example, one of a notch or a protrusion is provided on the handle 30, and the other of the two is provided on the upper cover 21, and when the handle 30 is rotated, the notch and the protrusion can cooperate to limit the rotation range of the handle 30 relative to the upper cover 21 and improve the stability of the support part 32 when supporting the upper cover assembly 20. In other embodiments, the handle 30 and the upper cover 21 can be rotationally connected through a shaft and a shaft hole, and one of a protrusion or a notch can be provided on the shaft, and the other of the two can be provided on the inner wall of the shaft hole, and thus when the handle 30 and the upper cover 21 are rotated, the protrusion and the notch can cooperate to limit the rotation range of the handle 30 relative to the upper cover 21 and improve the stability of the support part 32 when supporting the upper cover assembly 20.

[0060] As shown, Figure 5 In an embodiment, the mounting position 211 is a groove 2111, and in the storage state, the support part 32 is at least partially located in the groove 2111. The groove 2111 makes the support part 32 not excessively protrude from the upper cover 21, thereby avoiding increasing the overall volume of the grilling appliance, so as to facilitate storage or transportation of the grilling appliance. In the storage state, the lower surface of the support part 32 is at least partially in contact with the bottom wall of the groove 2111. Of course, in other embodiments, the mounting position 211 can also be a plane provided on the upper surface of the upper cover 21, and in the storage state, the support part 32 protrudes on the upper surface of the upper cover 21.

[0061] As shown, Figure 1 Preferably, in the storage state, along the thickness direction of the upper cover 21, the outer surface of the support part 32 is substantially flush with the outer surface of the upper cover 21. That is, the support part 32 is completely located in the groove 2111, so as to improve the aesthetic level of the grilling appliance. It is worth noting that the upper surface of the support part 32 being flush with the upper surface of the upper cover 21 can be understood as that overall, the upper surface of the support part 32 and the upper surface of the upper cover 21 form a similar surface, and the influence caused by assembly error or assembly gap is ignored. Of course, when the support part 32 is completely located in the groove 2111, the upper surface of the support part 32 can also be lower than the upper surface of the upper cover 21.

[0062] In an embodiment, the groove 2111 is arranged close to the edge of the upper cover 21, the side wall of the groove 2111 close to the edge is provided with an opening, the circumferential side of the supporting part 32 matches the side wall of the groove 2111, and the rotation axis is located in the groove 2111. Here, the side wall of the groove 2111 close to the edge provided with an opening means that the side wall of the groove 2111 away from the side of the upper cover assembly 20 and the lower shell assembly 10 rotationally connected is provided with an opening. The rotation axis located in the groove 2111 can be located at the side of the groove 2111 close to the opening, or can be located at other positions of the groove 2111, as long as the handle 30 can rotate around the rotation axis. It can be understood that when the rotation axis is located at the side close to the opening, because the force applying part 31 and the supporting part 32 are respectively located at the two sides of the rotation axis, therefore the force applying part 31 is located outside the groove 2111, and the supporting part 32 is located inside the groove 2111, which is beneficial to make the force applying part 31 more distant from the end of the upper cover assembly 20 and the lower shell assembly 10 rotationally connected in the storage state, so that the user is more labor-saving when controlling the upper cover assembly 20 to rotate relative to the lower shell assembly 10 through the handle 30; in the unfolded state, the supporting part 32 is also more distant from the end of the upper cover assembly 20 and the lower shell assembly 10 rotationally connected, so that the supporting part 32 supports the upper cover assembly 20 more stably. When the rotation axis is located at other positions of the groove 2111, because the force applying part 31 and the supporting part 32 are respectively located at the two sides of the rotation axis, at least part of the force applying part 31 is located inside the groove 2111, and the specific position only needs to meet the switching between the storage state and the unfolded state of the handle 30. For example, when the rotation axis is located at a relatively far position of the groove 2111 relative to the opening (for example, the projection of the force applying part 31 on the horizontal plane is all located inside the projection of the groove 2111 on the horizontal plane), in order to avoid that the force applying part 31 may interfere with the upper cover 21 in the unfolded state, the angle between the upper surface where the force applying part 31 of the handle 30 is located and the upper surface where the supporting part 32 is located can be designed as an acute angle. It is shown in FIG. 16A that the angle between the upper surface where the force applying part 31 of the handle 30 is located and the upper surface where the supporting part 32 is located is an obtuse angle in the current state. Figure 5 It can be understood that the angle between the upper surface where the force applying part 31 of the handle 30 is located and the upper surface where the supporting part 32 is located is designed as an acute angle, that is, the force applying part 31 rotates clockwise from the current position around the rotation axis towards the direction close to the supporting part 32, so that the angle between the two is an acute angle, to ensure that the handle 30 can switch between the storage state and the unfolded state relative to the upper cover 21. Figure 5 It can be understood that the angle between the upper surface where the force applying part 31 of the handle 30 is located and the upper surface where the supporting part 32 is located is designed as an acute angle, that is, the force applying part 31 rotates clockwise from the current position around the rotation axis towards the direction close to the supporting part 32, so that the angle between the two is an acute angle, to ensure that the handle 30 can switch between the storage state and the unfolded state relative to the upper cover 21.

[0063] For example, as shown in FIG. 16B, the angle between the upper surface where the force applying part 31 of the handle 30 is located and the upper surface where the supporting part 32 is located is an acute angle in the unfolded state. Figures 5 to 7As shown, the groove 2111 is arranged close to the edge of the upper cover 21, the side wall of the groove 2111 close to the edge is provided with an opening, and the side of the upper cover 21 where the edge is located can also be provided with a notch, the opening and the notch are in communication, the side of the support part 32 cooperates with the side wall of the groove 2111, and the rotation axis is located at the notch. The rotation axis is located at the notch, which is beneficial to the user to operate through the force applying part on the one hand, and on the other hand, it is beneficial to reduce or avoid the mutual interference between the force applying part 31 and the upper cover 21 during the process of converting the handle 30 from the storage state to the unfolded state, so as to increase the rotation range of the handle 30. Specifically, the notch can be a groove, a cutout or other structures.

[0064] As shown in Figure 8 , the groove 2111 is arranged close to the edge of the upper cover 21, and the side wall of the groove 2111 close to the edge of the upper cover 21 is provided with an opening, and in the storage state, the outer peripheral surface of the support part 32 is basically flush with the outer peripheral surface of the upper cover 21. Among them, the groove 2111 can be arranged close to one, two or three edges of the upper cover 21, as shown in Figure 8 , which is that the groove 2111 is arranged close to three edges of the upper cover 21. When the groove 2111 is arranged close to two or three edges of the upper cover 21, the size of the end of the support part 32 away from the force applying part 31 is larger along the width direction of the grilling appliance, for example, when the groove 2111 is arranged close to three edges of the upper cover 21, the size of the end of the support part 32 away from the force applying part 31 is the same as the width size of the upper cover 21, so as to increase the support area and improve the stability of the support. It is worth noting that the outer peripheral surface of the support part 32 is basically flush with the outer peripheral surface of the upper cover 21 can be understood as that the outer peripheral surface of the support part 32 is basically flush with the outer peripheral surface of the upper cover 21 to form a similar surface as a whole, and the influence caused by assembly error or assembly gap is ignored here, so as to improve the appearance of the grilling appliance, and also reduce the volume of the upper cover assembly 20 as a whole, facilitating storage.

[0065] Of course, in other embodiments, the groove 2111 can also be arranged away from the edge of the upper cover 21, that is, the groove 2111 is not provided with an opening, along the length direction of the grilling appliance, the one-half region of the upper cover 21 close to the end where the upper cover assembly 20 and the lower shell assembly 10 are rotationally connected is defined as a first region, and the one-half region of the upper cover 21 away from the end where the upper cover assembly 20 and the lower shell assembly 10 are rotationally connected is defined as a second region, and the groove 2111 is located in the second region.

[0066] As shown in Figures 5 to 6As shown, the handle 30 is provided with a connecting portion 33 located between the force-applying portion 31 and the supporting portion 32. The upper cover 21 is provided with a mating portion 212 that cooperates with the connecting portion 33 for rotation, and the connecting portion 33 rotates about the rotation axis. The rotational cooperation between the connecting portion 33 and the mating portion 212 ensures the stability of the connecting portion 33 when rotating about the rotation axis, thereby ensuring the stability of the handle 30 as a whole when rotating relative to the upper cover 21.

[0067] like Figures 5 to 6 As shown, in one embodiment, the connecting portion 33 is a protrusion, and the matching portion 212 is a notch that fits the protrusion. The protrusion is provided with either a rotating shaft 40 or an axial hole, and the two side walls of the notch are provided with the other of the two. The axis of the rotating shaft 40 is the rotation axis. The connecting portion 33 is placed in the notch and can rotate about the rotating shaft 40. When the connecting portion 33 rotates until the outer peripheral wall abuts the edge of the notch, the edge of the notch can restrict the connecting portion 33 from continuing to rotate in the same direction, thereby limiting the rotation range of the connecting portion 33 in the notch. At the same time, the abutment between the two side walls of the notch and the two side surfaces of the connecting portion 33 can also restrict the movement of the connecting portion 33 along the length direction of the rotating shaft 40, thereby improving the stability of the handle 30 as a whole when rotating relative to the upper cover 21, as well as the stability and reliability of the handle 30 in the stored and deployed states.

[0068] In another embodiment, the mating portion 212 is a protrusion, and the connecting portion 33 is a notch that fits the protrusion; the protrusion is provided with either a rotating shaft 40 or an axial hole on both sides, and the other of the two is provided on both side walls of the notch, with the axis of the rotating shaft 40 being the rotation axis. Similarly, the mating portion 212 is disposed within the connecting portion 33, and the connecting portion 33 is capable of rotating about the rotating shaft 40. When the connecting portion 33 rotates until its edge abuts against the outer peripheral wall of the mating portion 212, the outer peripheral wall of the mating portion 212 restricts the connecting portion 33 from continuing to rotate in the same direction, thereby limiting the rotation range of the connecting portion 33 about the rotating shaft 40. Furthermore, the abutment between the two side surfaces of the mating portion 212 and the two side walls of the connecting portion 33 further restricts the movement of the connecting portion 33 along the length of the rotating shaft 40, thereby improving the stability of the handle 30 as a whole when rotating relative to the upper cover 21, as well as the stability and reliability of the handle 30 in both the stowed and deployed states.

[0069] like Figures 5 to 6As shown, in the illustrated embodiment, the connecting portion 33 is a protrusion, the protrusion has a curved surface coaxial with the rotation axis, and the fitting portion 212 is a notch adapted to the protrusion, the notch is a curved groove 2121 located at the connecting portion between the upper surface and the side surface of the upper cover 21. By matching the curved surface of the connecting portion 33 with the curved groove 2121, the stability of the connecting portion 33 when rotating around the rotation axis can be improved. Moreover, since the curved groove 2121 is located at the connecting portion between the upper surface and the side surface of the upper cover 21, the curved groove 2121 can be easily machined on the upper cover 21, and the user can exert the least force when rotating the upper cover assembly 20 relative to the lower shell assembly 10 by the handle 30 in the storage state; the support portion 32 is also the most stable when supporting the upper cover assembly 20 in the unfolded state.

[0070] As shown, Figures 6 to 7 As shown, in the illustrated embodiment, the opening is in communication with the curved groove 2121, in the storage state, the support portion 32 is located in the groove 2111, the side of the support portion 32 is matched with the side wall of the groove 2111, and the upper surface of the support portion 32 is flush with the upper surface of the upper cover 21, which can not only reduce the volume of the upper cover assembly as a whole and facilitate storage, but also improve the aesthetics of the baking appliance.

[0071] As shown, Figures 5 to 6 As shown, when the side wall of the curved groove 2121 is provided with one of the rotation shaft 40 or the shaft hole, and the side of the connecting portion 33 is provided with the other protruding rotation shaft 40, it may be difficult for the connecting portion 33 to be clamped into the curved groove 2121, and the installation may be difficult. Therefore, along the width direction of the upper cover 21, the side wall of the curved groove 2121 is provided with a first through hole 2122, and the side of the connecting portion 33 is provided with a second through hole 331 opposite to the first through hole 2122; the upper cover assembly 20 further includes the rotation shaft 40, which is inserted into the first through hole 2122 and the second through hole 331 at the same time. During installation, the connecting portion 33 can be placed in the curved groove 2121 first, and then the first through hole 2122 and the second through hole 331 are aligned, and then the rotation shaft 40 is inserted into the first through hole 2122 and the second through hole 331, so that the connecting portion 33 is connected with the upper cover 21, and the connecting portion 33 can rotate relative to the upper cover 21 around the rotation shaft 40, thereby facilitating the user to install or disassemble the handle 30.

[0072] The second through holes 331 on both sides of the connecting portion 33 can be blind holes, and the number of the rotating shafts 40 is two, and the two rotating shafts 40 are respectively located on both sides of the connecting portion 33. In the assembly process, the two rotating shafts 40 are respectively inserted through one of the first through holes 2122 and the corresponding second through hole 331. The blind hole can limit the rotating shaft 40 from sliding along the axial direction towards the connecting portion 33. Alternatively, the second through holes 331 on both sides of the connecting portion 33 can also be communicated with each other, the number of the rotating shafts 40 is one, and the length of the rotating shaft 40 is greater than the width of the connecting portion 33. In the assembly process, one end of the rotating shaft 40 is sequentially inserted through one of the first through holes 2122, the two second through holes 331 and the other first through hole 2122, so that both ends of the rotating shaft 40 protrude from the connecting portion 33.

[0073] As shown in Figures 5 to 6 The baking appliance further comprises a fixing member 50, the fixing member 50 comprises a fixing seat 51 and two blocking members 52, the two blocking members 52 are spaced apart in the fixing seat 51, and the end of the rotating shaft 40 close to the first through hole 2122 abuts against the blocking member 52; and the fixing seat 51 is fixedly arranged on the upper cover 21. After the handle 30 and the rotating shaft 40 are installed, the fixing seat 51 can be fixed with the upper cover 21 by means of screws, bolts or other fasteners, so that the blocking member 52 abuts against the end of the rotating shaft 40 close to the first through hole 2122, to limit the rotating shaft 40 from sliding along the axial direction, and avoid the rotating shaft 40 from accidentally coming out of the second through hole 331 and causing the connecting portion 33 to fall off the upper cover 21, so as to ensure the stability and reliability of the connection between the connecting portion 33 and the upper cover 21. When the handle 30 needs to be disassembled, the fixing seat 51 is first disassembled from the upper cover 21, and the rotating shaft 40 is removed, so that the handle 30 can be disassembled from the upper cover 21.

[0074] As shown in Figure 1 and Figure 6 The force applying portion 31 is at least partially protruded from the circumferential edge or the upper edge of the upper cover 21. In this way, it is convenient for the user to apply force to the force applying portion 31.

[0075] As shown in Figure 6 In the storage state, the force applying portion 31 is inclined to extend away from the upper cover 21 from the supporting portion 32, and the plane on which the force applying portion 31 is located and the upper surface of the upper cover 21 form an included angle β, which satisfies: 10°≤β≤85°. The included angle β can be 10°, 20°, 30°, etc. within the range of 10° to 85°. The force applying portion 31 is inclined to extend away from the upper cover 21 from the supporting portion 32, which can facilitate the user to apply force to the force applying portion 31 in the +X direction, and in the case that the length of the force applying portion 31 is constant, the inclined arrangement of the force applying portion 31 can also reduce the size of the baking appliance in the height direction and the length direction, and avoid increasing the overall volume of the baking appliance. Preferably, the included angle β satisfies: 20°≤β≤60°, and the included angle β is best when it is 35°.

[0076] As Figure 1 and Figure 5 As shown in , the lower surface of the force applying part 31 is provided with anti-skid ribs 311. The anti-skid ribs 311 can increase the friction between the user's hand and the force applying part 31, preventing the user from slipping when controlling the upper cover assembly 20 to rotate relative to the lower shell assembly 10 through the handle 30. Specifically, the anti-skid ribs 311 can be provided as a plurality of straight convex ribs or wavy convex ribs, or can be provided as a plurality of convex blocks; of course, the anti-skid ribs 311 can also be a groove structure provided on the lower surface of the force applying part 31, as long as it can increase the friction between the user's hand and the force applying part 31, and the embodiments of the present application do not make specific limitations here.

[0077] Figures 1 to 4 As shown in Figure 1 , the utility model further provides a baking appliance, including lower shell assembly 10 and above-mentioned upper cover assembly 20, and upper cover assembly 20 is rotatably connected to lower shell assembly 10. Figures 2 to 4 , the opening state between the upper cover assembly 20 can be switched relative to lower shell assembly 10.

[0078] The technical features of the above-described embodiments can be combined in any manner. To make the description concise, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above-described embodiments are described, but as long as the combinations of the technical features do not contradict, they should be considered within the scope of the present application.

[0079] The above-described embodiments only express several implementation manners of the present application, and the description is more specific and detailed, but it should not be understood as a limitation on the scope of the present application. It should be noted that for ordinary skilled persons in the art, without departing from the concept of the present application, some modifications and improvements can be made, which are within the protection scope of the present application.
