The present application will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0040] Please refer to Figures 1 to 6The embodiment of the present application provides a rotating support 100, which comprises a fixing base 10, a clamping piece 20, a damping pad 30 and a fastener 40, the clamping piece 20 is rotationally connected with the fixing base 10, and the clamping piece 20 is used for clamping a cover plate 200; the damping pad 30 is clamped between the clamping piece 20 and the fixing base 10, and the damping pad 30 is used for providing a friction force opposite to a rotating direction of the clamping piece 20; and the fastener 40 is arranged through the clamping piece 20, the damping pad 30 and the fixing base 10, the clamping piece 20 rotates around an axial direction of the fastener 40, and the fastener 40 is used for applying an acting force to the clamping piece 20 and / or the fixing base 10 so that the damping pad 30 is clamped between the clamping piece 20 and the fixing base 10.

[0041] The fastener 40 is used for applying the acting force to the clamping piece 20 and / or the fixing base 10 so that the damping pad 30 is clamped between the clamping piece 20 and the fixing base 10. Specifically, the fastener 40 abuts against the fixing base 10 and the clamping piece 20 respectively, so that the fixing base 10 and the clamping piece 20 clamp the damping pad 30, thus the fastener 40 plays a better fixing role, can enhance the connection stability of the clamping piece 20, the damping pad 30 and the fixing base 10, and improve the stability of the rotating support 100 as a whole.

[0042] The clamping piece 20 clamps the cover plate 200 and rotates around the axial direction of the fastener 40, that is to say, the fastener 40 can be regarded as a rotating shaft of the rotating support 100, thus the fastener 40 also plays a guiding role, can reduce the parts required for additionally arranging the rotating shaft, and thus simplifies the structure.

[0043] The specific type of the fastener 40 is not limited, for example, the fastener 40 can be a screw or a bolt and the like.

[0044] The damping pad 30 provides the friction force opposite to the rotating direction of the clamping piece 20, so that the cover plate 200 will not suddenly fall under the action of gravity in the process of rotating the cover plate 200 by a user. Specifically, the friction force between the damping pad 30 and the clamping piece 20 is not less than the sum of the gravity of the cover plate 200 and the clamping piece 20, thus the damping pad 30 plays a buffering role, can prevent the cover plate 200 from falling in the rotating process, and causes the cover plate 200 to be damaged or cause harm to the user.

[0045] The specific materials of the clamping piece 20 and the fixing base 10 are not limited, for example, the clamping piece 20 and the fixing base 10 can both be metal structures, so as to improve the structural strength of the rotating support 100.

[0046] The rotating support 100 provided by the embodiments of the present application is characterized in that the clamping piece 20 rotates around the axis of the fastener 40, and the damping pad 30 is clamped between the clamping piece 20 and the fixed seat 10 under the action of the fastener 40. On the one hand, the fastener 40 plays a fixing role and a guiding role, and can reduce the parts required for the additional rotating shaft, thereby simplifying the structure. On the other hand, the friction between the damping pad 30 and the clamping piece 20 is not less than the sum of the gravity of the cover plate 200 and the clamping piece 20, and the damping pad 30 plays a buffering role, which can prevent the cover plate 200 from falling during rotation, thereby preventing the cover plate 200 from being damaged or causing harm to the user.

[0047] For example, in an embodiment, the clamping piece 20 is a sheet metal structure.

[0048] For example, in an embodiment, the fixed seat 10 is a sheet metal structure.

[0049] The embodiments of the present application provide a cooking appliance, which comprises a box body, a cover plate 200 and the rotating support 100 according to any one of the embodiments of the present application, and the cover plate 200 is installed on the clamping piece 20, and the fixed seat 10 is installed on the box body.

[0050] For example, the cooking appliance comprises a heating part installed on the box body, and the heating part is used for cooking food. In the case where the food does not need to be cooked, the cover plate 200 covers the heating part, and the cover plate 200 plays a protection role and a dustproof role, which can prevent sundries and dust from falling on the heating part. In addition, the cover plate 200 can be used for placing articles, and the cover plate 200 plays a role of placing articles, thereby increasing the utilization space of the cooking appliance.

[0051] In the case where the food needs to be cooked, the cover plate 200 is rotated to open the heating part and cook the food, which is convenient to operate and improves the user experience. Under the buffering action of the damping pad 30, the cover plate 200 can be prevented from falling towards the heating part and being damaged, thereby improving the safety of the cooking appliance.

[0052] The specific material of the cover plate 200 is not limited, for example, the cover plate 200 can be a glass structure, a sheet metal structure or a plastic structure, etc.

[0053] The specific type of the cooking appliance is not limited, for example, the cooking appliance can be an oven.

[0054] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 2 Two rotating supports 100 are arranged on both sides of the cover plate 200 along the length direction, which can enhance the stability of the cover plate 200 and prevent loosening and falling off.

[0055] In some embodiments, the damping pad 30 can be a structure made of a flexible material, which refers to a material capable of producing elastic deformation that can be bent, folded, twisted, compressed and / or stretched. In this way, the clamping piece 20 and the fixing seat 10 are in flexible contact with the damping pad 30, which can slow down the wear of the clamping piece 20 and the fixing seat 10, thereby prolonging the service life of the rotating support 100.

[0056] In some embodiments, the damping pad 30 is a nylon structure. That is, the damping pad 30 is a structure made of nylon material, which has good wear resistance and mechanical strength, so as to slow down the wear of the clamping piece 20 and the fixing seat 10, thereby prolonging the service life of the rotating support 100.

[0057] In some embodiments, the thickness of the damping pad 30 is between 2 mm and 2.5 mm. For example, the thickness of the damping pad 30 can be 2.0 mm, 2.1 mm, 2.2 mm, 2.3 mm, 2.4 mm or 2.5 mm, etc.

[0058] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 1 and Figure 4 , the clamping piece 20 includes a clamping portion 21 and a rotating portion 22 connected to each other, the rotating portion 22 forms a first limiting block 22a protruding towards the fixing seat 10, the fixing seat 10 forms a second limiting block 10a, and the clamping piece 20 includes a first state and a second state, wherein in the first state, at least part of the clamping portion 21 is stacked on the fixing seat 10, and in the second state, the first limiting block 22a abuts against the second limiting block 10a.

[0059] Referring to Figure 3 , the fastener 40 penetrates the rotating portion 22, and the rotating portion 22 can rotate around the axis of the fastener 40 to drive the clamping portion 21 to rotate around the axis of the fastener 40.

[0060] For example, referring to Figure 2 , in the first state, the clamping portion 21 is placed flat on the fixing seat 10, and the angle between the axis of the clamping portion 21 and the horizontal plane is 0°. In the second state, the first limiting block 22a abuts against the second limiting block 10a, so that the clamping portion 21 is vertical relative to the fixing seat 10, and the angle between the axis of the clamping portion 21 and the horizontal plane is 90°. That is, the rotating angle of the clamping portion 21 is between 0° and 90°, so that in the first state, the cover plate 200 remains in a relatively flat state, which can enhance the stability of the articles placed on the cover plate 200, and in the second state, the cover plate 200 can be spaced apart from other components, and a space is formed between the cover plate 200 and the cabinet for the user to cook food, which is convenient for the user to cook food and improves the user experience.

[0061] In some embodiments, referring toFigure 4 The clamping member 20 further comprises an elastic sleeve 23 formed with a clamping groove 23a, the clamping portion 21 is formed with a limiting groove 21a, the elastic sleeve 23 is arranged in the limiting groove 21a, and the groove wall surface of the limiting groove 21a abuts against the elastic sleeve 23, so that the groove wall surface of the clamping groove 23a abuts against the cover plate 200.

[0062] The limiting groove 21a is used for fixing the elastic sleeve 23 and preventing the elastic sleeve 23 from being displaced under the action of an external force.

[0063] For example, as shown in Figure 2 and Figure 4 , part of the cover plate 200 is arranged in the clamping groove 23a, so that the clamping groove 23a limits the cover plate 200. Meanwhile, by abutting the groove wall surface of the limiting groove 21a against the elastic sleeve 23, the connection stability of the elastic sleeve 23 and the cover plate 200 can be enhanced, and the cover plate 200 can be prevented from loosening and falling off.

[0064] The elastic sleeve 23 can be a structure prepared from a flexible material, and the flexible material refers to a material capable of producing elastic deformation such as bending, folding, twisting, compressing and / or stretching. Taking the cover plate 200 as an example, the cover plate 200 prepared from a glass material is easy to break, the cover plate 200 is in flexible contact with the elastic sleeve 23, the elastic sleeve 23 has a good protective effect on the cover plate 200, and the cover plate 200 can be prevented from being in rigid contact with the clamping portion 21, so as to slow down the impact force transmitted to the cover plate 200 from the outside and avoid the cover plate 200 from breaking.

[0065] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 5 , at least one protruding rib 23a1 is arranged on each of the two opposite groove wall surfaces of the clamping groove 23a, and the at least two protruding ribs 23a1 are staggered in the direction perpendicular to the axial direction of the clamping groove 23a. That is, the projection ranges of the at least two protruding ribs 23a1 are spaced apart in the arrangement direction of the two opposite groove wall surfaces of the clamping groove 23a. In this way, the contact area of the elastic sleeve 23 and the cover plate 200 can be increased, and the connection stability of the elastic sleeve 23 and the cover plate 200 can be enhanced. Meanwhile, the staggered protruding ribs 23a1 can also prevent the force applied to the cover plate 200 from being concentrated, so that the contact position of the cover plate 200 and the clamping groove 23a bears a relatively uniform force, and the cover plate 200 is well protected.

[0066] In the related art, the rotating support adopts a spring hinge structure, and different springs need to be replaced according to different weights of the cover plate, and the types of the rotating support are numerous.

[0067] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 1The rotating support 100 further comprises a plurality of elastic washers 50, and the fastener 40 comprises a main body 41 and an adjusting member 42, the main body 41 is provided with the plurality of elastic washers 50, and the adjusting member 42 is capable of adjusting a locking position on the main body 41 to provide different locking forces to the elastic washers 50.

[0068] For example, Figure 3 The adjusting member 42 is arranged on a side of the elastic washer 50 away from the damping pad 30, and the adjusting member 42 plays a limiting role on the elastic washer 50. The elastic washer 50 has a pre-tightening force, the adjusting member 42 is movable along an axial direction of the main body 41, and by changing the position of the adjusting member 42, different locking forces can be applied to the elastic washer 50, so as to adjust the force applied by the elastic washer 50 to the damping pad 30. The damping pad 30 converts the force applied by the elastic washer 50 to the damping pad 30 into a friction force acting on the clamping member 20, so that the damping pad 30 has a buffering effect on the clamping member 20. Thus, by changing the position of the adjusting member 42, the friction force of the damping pad 30 acting on the clamping member 20 can be adjusted, so as to adapt to the cover plate 200 of different weights, and the cover plate 200 can be kept hovering at any position in the rotating direction.

[0069] It can be understood that by increasing the number of elastic washers 50, the force applied to the damping pad 30 can be increased, that is, the friction force of the damping pad 30 on the clamping member 20 can be increased.

[0070] The specific material of the elastic washer 50 is not limited, for example, the elastic washer 50 can be a manganese steel structure.

[0071] It should be noted that in the present application, the plurality of refers to a quantity of two or more.

[0072] In this embodiment, unlike the related art, a plurality of types of rotating supports 100 do not need to be produced, and by changing the position of the adjusting member 42 on the main body 41, the friction force of the damping pad 30 acting on the clamping member 20 can be adjusted, so as to adapt to the cover plate 200 of different weights, which is convenient to operate and can also reduce production costs.

[0073] In an embodiment, referring to Figure 1 The main body 41 can be a screw, and the adjusting member 42 can be a nut.

[0074] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 6 The thickness of the elastic washer 50 is between 1.2 mm and 1.5 mm. For example, the thickness of the elastic washer 50 can be 1.2 mm, 1.3 mm, 1.4 mm or 1.5 mm. By using elastic washers 50 of different thicknesses, the force applied by the elastic washers 50 to the damping pad 30 can be adjusted, so as to adapt to the cover plate 200 of different weights.

[0075] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 1 The rotating support 100 further comprises a flat pad 60, the main body 41 penetrates the flat pad 60, and the flat pad 60 is clamped between the elastic washer 50 and the adjusting member 42. The elastic washer 50 has two ends 50a which are staggered with each other, the flat pad 60 is clamped between the elastic washer 50 and the adjusting member 42, and the flat pad 60 protects the adjusting member 42, so that the relatively sharp end 50a can avoid scratching the adjusting member 42.

[0076] The specific material of the flat pad 60 is not limited, and for example, the flat pad 60 can be a manganese steel structure.

[0077] In some embodiments, the thickness of the flat pad 60 is between 2 mm and 2.5 mm. For example, the thickness of the flat pad 60 can be 2 mm, 2.1 mm, 2.2 mm, 2.3 mm, 2.4 mm, or 2.5 mm, and the like.
