Description

[0001] This application claims priority to the patent application filed on November 21, 2023, with China National Intellectual Property Administration, application number 2023231452866, entitled "Cooking Utensils". Technical Field

[0002] This utility model relates to the field of small household appliance technology, and more specifically, to a cooking utensil. Background Technology

[0003] With the improvement of living standards, automated cooking equipment has gradually entered the public eye and is loved by many users due to its user-friendly operation. Among them, the stir-fry machine is one such example. The stir-fry machine uses a motor to drive the stirring blade to rotate, thereby realizing the stir-frying function of ingredients.

[0004] To facilitate user operation, the pot body of cooking utensils is generally installed in the base in a vertically removable manner. The direction in which the user picks up or puts down the pot is perpendicular to the extension direction of the rotation axis of the stirring component. Therefore, when the user picks up or puts down the pot, it is generally necessary to disengage the stirring component from the corresponding drive structure.

[0005] Currently, cooking appliances in related technologies can use a button structure to disengage the drive mechanism from the stirring component. When the user needs to remove the pot, they only need to press the button to take the pot out of the base. However, the above-mentioned cooking appliances also have drawbacks. The user needs to hold down the button continuously to keep the drive mechanism and stirring component in the disengaged state, meaning the user only has one hand left to remove the pot, which is inconvenient, especially when there is a lot of food in the pot, making it very difficult for the user to operate. Utility Model Content

[0006] This utility model provides a cooking appliance to solve the problem that the inner pot of cooking appliances in related technologies is not easy to remove.

[0007] This utility model provides a cooking appliance, comprising: an outer shell; an inner pot detachably mounted on the outer shell; a top cover hinged to the outer shell; and a stirring assembly including a stirring blade, a driving member, and a connecting member. The connecting member is movably mounted, and the driving member is drivenly connected to the stirring blade via the connecting member, allowing the stirring blade to be rotatably mounted inside the inner pot. The connecting member has a driving position for connecting the driving shaft of the driving member to the stirring blade and a separating position for separating the driving shaft from the stirring blade. When the top cover is on the outer shell, the top cover can drive the connecting member to move from the separating position to the driving position. When the top cover is opened from the outer shell, the connecting member moves from the driving position to the separating position. The hinge axis between the top cover and the outer shell is located on one side of the stirring blade in a first lateral direction, and the driving member is located on one side of the stirring blade in a second lateral direction. The first lateral direction and the second lateral direction are arranged at an angle.

[0008] The cooking appliance, utilizing the technical solution of this utility model, includes a shell, an inner pot, a top cover, and a stirring assembly. When the top cover is on the shell, it acts as a driving source, moving the connecting member from a separated position to a driven position, connecting the drive shaft and the stirring blade. The drive member then rotates the connecting member, causing the stirring blade to tumble within the inner pot, thus stirring the ingredients. When the top cover is opened from the shell, the connecting member moves in the opposite direction, from the driven position to a separated position, separating the drive shaft and the stirring blade. At this point, the inner pot can be easily removed from the shell. Furthermore, since the hinge axis between the top cover and the shell is located on one side of the stirring blade in the first lateral direction, and the drive member is located on one side of the stirring blade in the second lateral direction, the first and second lateral directions are angled together. This allows the top cover to tumble away from the user when opened, while the drive member is located on the user's left or right side, facilitating the layout of the various components of the cooking appliance.

[0009] Furthermore, the axis of the drive shaft coincides with the rotation axis of the stirring blade, and the axis of the hinge shaft is parallel to the rotation axis of the stirring blade. This layout reduces the space occupied by the drive unit and the stirring blade in the first lateral direction and provides sufficient distance between the top cover and the housing portion where the drive unit is located, resulting in a more rational layout.

[0010] Furthermore, the outer shell includes a receiving portion and a protrusion connected to the outer wall of the receiving portion. The inner pot is disposed in the receiving portion, and the driving component and connecting component are both disposed in the protrusion. The upper cover is hinged to the receiving portion. The outer shell with the above structure, which accommodates the inner pot through the receiving portion and the driving component through the protrusion, has the advantages of reasonable layout and ease of processing.

[0011] Furthermore, the outer shell is provided with a movable mating part, which is driven to connect with the connecting part. The upper cover is provided with a trigger part. When the upper cover is placed on the outer shell, the trigger part can engage with the mating part to move the mating part and drive the connecting part from the separated position to the driven position. Through the snapping action of the upper cover, the trigger part can drive the mating part to move, and then the mating part can drive the connecting part to move. The upper cover includes a cover body and a mating cover connected to the outer wall of the cover body. The cover body is hinged to the receiving part, and the trigger part is provided on the mating cover. When the upper cover is placed on the outer shell, the cover body is snapped into the receiving part, and the mating cover is snapped into the protrusion. Using the above-described upper cover, the cover body can be used to engage with the inner pot for cooking. The mating cover is provided with a trigger part that engages with the protrusion.

[0012] Furthermore, the mating component includes a reversing rod, which is pivotally mounted on the protrusion. When the upper cover is placed on the outer casing, the triggering part can drive the reversing rod to pivot, thereby causing the reversing rod to move the connecting component. Using the reversing rod 131 to move the connecting component has the advantages of simple structure and easy installation.

[0013] Furthermore, a reversing seat is provided on the upper surface of the protrusion, and the reversing rod is swayably mounted on the reversing seat. A recess is provided on the upper cover to avoid the reversing seat, and the trigger part is the bottom surface of the recess. By using the reversing seat to support the reversing rod, the reversing rod can protrude from the upper surface of the protrusion, and thus the reversing rod can be driven to sway through the trigger part.

[0014] Furthermore, the reversing lever includes a first segment and a second segment connected at an included angle. The connection between the first segment and the second segment is hinged to a protruding portion. When the upper cover is placed on the outer casing, the trigger portion abuts against the first segment, causing the first segment to rotate, and the second segment drives the connecting member to move. With the reversing lever configured as described above, the first segment can cooperate with the trigger portion, causing the trigger portion to contact the first segment and rotate it. The first segment then drives the second segment to rotate, and in turn, moves the connecting member.

[0015] Furthermore, the triggering part includes a first magnet disposed on the upper cover, and the mating part includes a second magnet movably disposed on the protrusion. When the upper cover is placed on the outer shell, the first magnet and the second magnet magnetically engage, causing the second magnet to move. The movement of the connecting part is driven by the magnetic engagement of the first and second magnets, which has the advantages of simple structure and low cost.

[0016] Furthermore, the lower surface of the top cover has protruding bumps, and the first magnet is disposed within the bumps. The protruding portion has a relief groove to avoid the bumps. The bumps protect the first magnet from damage.

[0017] Furthermore, the cooking appliance also includes a sliding rack, which is movably disposed within the protrusion. The sliding rack is driven to connect with the connecting member. When the top cover is placed on the outer shell, the mating member can drive the sliding rack to move, thereby causing the sliding rack to move the connecting member. By using the mating member to engage with the sliding rack and utilizing the sliding rack to drive the connecting member, the sliding rack can be used as a transmission component, offering the advantage of a stable drive structure.

[0018] Furthermore, the cooking appliance also includes a reset element, which provides a restoring force to the connector, causing it to move from the driven position to the disengaged position. Using a reset element to reset the connector has the advantages of simple structure and readily available materials.

[0019] Furthermore, the outer casing is equipped with a microswitch for detecting the opening and closing of the lid. When the lid is closed on the casing, the lower surface of the lid can trigger the microswitch. The microswitch can detect whether the lid is properly closed, thus indicating to the user whether the cooking appliance is ready and cooking can begin. Attached Figure Description

[0042] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. The following description of at least one exemplary embodiment is merely illustrative and is in no way intended to limit the present utility model or its application or use. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present utility model without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present utility model.

[0043] like Figures 1 to 12As shown, this embodiment of the present invention provides a cooking appliance, which includes a shell 10, an inner pot 20, a top cover 30, and a stirring assembly 40. The inner pot 20 is detachably mounted on the shell 10; the top cover 30 is hinged to the shell 10; the stirring assembly 40 includes a stirring blade 41, a driving member 42, and a connecting member 43. The connecting member 43 is movably mounted, and the driving member 42 is drivenly connected to the stirring blade 41 through the connecting member 43, so that the stirring blade 41 is rotatably mounted inside the inner pot 20. The connecting member 43 has a driving shaft for the driving member 42. The drive position connected to the stirring blade 41 and the separation position that separates the drive shaft from the stirring blade 41 are such that when the upper cover 30 is placed on the outer casing 10, the upper cover 30 can drive the connecting member 43 to move from the separation position to the drive position, and when the upper cover 30 is opened from the outer casing 10, the connecting member 43 moves from the drive position to the separation position; wherein, the hinge axis between the upper cover 30 and the outer casing 10 is located on one side of the stirring blade 41 in the first transverse direction X, and the drive member 42 is located on one side of the stirring blade 41 in the second transverse direction Y, and the first transverse direction X and the second transverse direction Y are set at an angle.

[0044] Applying the technical solution of this utility model, the cooking appliance includes a shell 10, an inner pot 20, a top cover 30, and a stirring assembly 40. When the top cover 30 is placed on the shell 10, it acts as a driving source, driving the connecting member 43 to move from a separated position to a driven position, connecting the driving shaft and the stirring blade 41. The driving member 42 then drives the connecting member 43 to rotate, causing the stirring blade 41 to rotate within the inner pot 20, thus stirring the ingredients. When the top cover 30 is opened from the shell 10, the connecting member 43 can move in the opposite direction, from the driven position to a separated position, separating the driving shaft and the stirring blade 41. At this time, the inner pot 20 can be easily removed from the shell 10. Furthermore, since the hinge axis between the top cover 30 and the shell 10 is located on one side of the stirring blade 41 in the first transverse direction X, and the driving member 42 is located on one side of the stirring blade 41 in the second transverse direction Y, the first transverse direction X and the second transverse direction Y are arranged at an angle. This allows the top cover 30 to flip away from the user when opened, while the drive unit 42 is located on the user's left or right side, facilitating the layout of the various parts of the cooking appliance.

[0045] like Figure 11 As shown, the first horizontal line X refers to Figure 11 In the X direction, the second horizontal direction Y refers to Figure 11 in the Y direction.

[0046] In this embodiment, the first horizontal direction X and the second horizontal direction Y are perpendicular.

[0047] The fact that the upper cover 30 can be used as a driving source means that the upper cover 30 can drive the connecting piece 43 to move through a mechanical structure.

[0048] In other embodiments, magnetic elements can be provided on both the upper cover 30 and the outer shell 10, and the magnetic attraction or repulsion of the magnetic elements can be used to drive the connecting member 43 to move. Of course, a magnetic element can also be provided on one of the upper cover 30 and the outer shell 10, and a metal that can be attracted by the magnetic element, such as iron, cobalt, or nickel, can be provided on the other.

[0049] In this embodiment, the connector 43 moves axially along the drive shaft. The connector 43 can be mounted on either the stirring blade 41 or the drive shaft, as long as it allows axial movement along the drive shaft to connect the stirring blade 41 and the drive shaft.

[0050] In other embodiments, the connector 43 can move axially perpendicular to the drive shaft. In this case, the drive member 42 can be vertically positioned within the outer casing 10, the stirring blade 41 horizontally positioned on the inner pot 20, the sliding frame 50 slidably positioned within the outer casing 10, and the connector 43 vertically positioned on the drive shaft. Engaging bevel gears are fitted onto the connector 43 and the stirring blade 41, respectively. When the upper cover 30 is placed on the outer casing 10, the upper cover 30 drives the connector 43 to move vertically via the sliding frame 50 to connect the stirring blade 41 and the drive shaft. Alternatively, the connector 43 can be horizontally positioned on the stirring blade 41. In this case, the sliding frame 50 can also be positioned on the outer wall of the inner pot 20 or within the outer casing 10, with engaging bevel gears fitted onto the connector 43 and the drive shaft, respectively. When the upper cover 30 is placed on the outer casing 10, the upper cover 30 drives the connector 43 to move horizontally via the sliding frame 50 to connect the stirring blade 41 and the drive shaft.

[0051] In other embodiments, the stirring blade 41 can also be mounted on the upper cover 30. In this case, the connecting member 43 can be mounted on the drive shaft, and the drive member 42 can be arranged horizontally or vertically. When the upper cover 30 is placed on the outer casing 10, the upper cover 30 drives the connecting member 43 to move via the sliding frame 50 to connect the stirring blade 41 and the drive shaft.

[0052] In this embodiment, the axis of the drive shaft coincides with the rotation axis of the stirring blade 41, and the axis of the hinge shaft is parallel to the rotation axis of the stirring blade 41. This layout reduces the space occupied by the drive member 42 and the stirring blade 41 in the first transverse direction X, and ensures sufficient distance between the upper cover 30 and the outer casing 10 where the drive member 42 is located, resulting in a more rational layout.

[0053] like Figure 5 and Figure 10As shown, the outer shell 10 includes a receiving portion 11 and a protrusion 12 connected to the outer wall of the receiving portion 11. The inner pot 20 is disposed in the receiving portion 11, and the driving member 42 and the connecting member 43 are both disposed in the protrusion 12. The upper cover 30 is hinged to the receiving portion 11. The outer shell 10 with the above structure accommodates the inner pot 20 through the receiving portion 11 and the driving member 42 through the protrusion 12, which has the advantages of reasonable layout and easy processing.

[0054] The receiving portion 11 and the protruding portion 12 are arranged sequentially on the first transverse X.

[0055] like Figure 1 , Figure 5 as well as Figure 10 As shown, the outer casing 10 is provided with a movable mating member 13, which is driven to connect with the connecting member 43. The upper cover 30 is provided with a trigger part 31. When the upper cover 30 is placed on the outer casing 10, the trigger part 31 can engage with the mating member 13 to move the mating member 13 and drive the connecting member 43 from the separated position to the driven position. Through the snap-fit ​​action of the upper cover 30, the trigger part 31 can drive the mating member 13 to move, and then the mating member 13 can drive the connecting member 43 to move.

[0056] like Figure 1 As shown, the upper cover 30 includes a cover body 32 and a mating cover 33 connected to the outer wall of the cover body 32. The cover body 32 is hinged to the receiving portion 11, and a trigger portion 31 is provided on the mating cover 33. When the upper cover 30 is placed on the outer shell 10, the cover body 32 is fastened to the receiving portion 11, and the mating cover 33 is fastened to the protrusion 12. Using the above-described upper cover 30, the cover body 32 can be used in conjunction with the inner pot 20 for cooking. The trigger portion 31, provided on the mating cover 33, engages with the protrusion 12.

[0057] The cover 32 and the mating cover 33 are arranged sequentially on the first transverse X.

[0058] like Figure 3 and Figure 8 As shown, the cooking appliance also includes a sliding frame 50, which is movably disposed within the protrusion 12. The sliding frame 50 is drivenly connected to the connector 43. When the top cover 30 is placed on the outer casing 10, the mating member 13 can drive the sliding frame 50 to move, thereby causing the sliding frame 50 to move the connector 43. By engaging the mating member 13 with the sliding frame 50 and using the sliding frame 50 to drive the connector 43, the sliding frame 50 can be used as a transmission component, which has the advantage of a stable driving structure.

[0059] In this embodiment, the lower end of the sliding frame 50 is provided with an arc-shaped groove, and the connector 43 is provided with an arc-shaped protrusion that can be inserted into the arc-shaped groove. The arc-shaped groove and the arc-shaped protrusion cooperate to make the sliding frame 50 drive the connector 43 to move.

[0060] Among them, connector 43 is a connecting shaft, which is movably sleeved on the drive shaft.

[0061] Specifically, the sliding bracket 50 is located above the drive member 42 and is arranged parallel to the drive member 42.

[0062] like Figure 3 As shown, the cooking appliance also includes a reset member 60, which provides a restoring force to the connector 43, causing the connector 43 to move from the driving position to the disengaged position. Using the reset member 60 to reset the connector 43 has the advantages of simple structure and readily available materials.

[0063] In this embodiment, the reset element 60 is a reset spring, which is sleeved on the sliding frame 50. In this case, the reset spring directly provides a restoring force to the sliding frame 50, causing the sliding frame 50 to move the connecting element 43. In other embodiments, the reset spring can also be placed between the connecting element 43 and the drive shaft. In this case, the reset spring directly provides a restoring force to the connecting element 43. In short, any method that can increase the restoring force to the connecting element 43 is acceptable.

[0064] like Figure 5 As shown, the outer casing 10 is equipped with a micro switch 70 for detecting the opening and closing of the lid. When the upper cover 30 is placed on the outer casing 10, the lower surface of the upper cover 30 can trigger the micro switch 70. The micro switch 70 can detect whether the upper cover 30 is properly closed, thereby prompting the user whether the cooking appliance is ready and cooking can begin.

[0065] In this embodiment, the micro switch 70 is disposed on the protrusion 12 and protrudes from the upper surface of the protrusion 12. The micro switch 70 is signal-connected to the control board. After the lower surface of the upper cover 30 triggers the micro switch 70, a trigger signal can be sent to the control board.

[0066] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, Embodiment 1 of this application provides a cooking appliance. In Embodiment 1, the mating component 13 includes a reversing lever 131, which is swayably mounted on the protrusion 12. When the upper cover 30 is placed on the outer casing 10, the trigger part 31 can drive the reversing lever 131 to swing, thereby causing the reversing lever 131 to move the connecting component 43. Using the reversing lever 131 to move the connecting component 43 has the advantages of simple structure and easy installation.

[0067] In other embodiments, the mating member 13 can be a sliding member capable of linear movement, with the sliding member moving linearly via the inclined plane transmission between the trigger part 31 and the mating member 13. Alternatively, the mating member 13 can be a rotatable lever structure, with the trigger part 31 driving the lever to rotate on the housing 10, thereby moving the connecting member 43.

[0068] like Figure 5 As shown, a reversing seat 121 is provided on the upper surface of the protrusion 12, and a reversing rod 131 is swayably mounted on the reversing seat 121. A recess 331 is provided on the upper cover 30 to avoid the reversing seat 121, and a trigger part 31 is the bottom surface of the recess 331. By using the reversing seat 121 to support the reversing rod 131, the reversing rod 131 can protrude from the upper surface of the protrusion 12, and thus the reversing rod 131 can be driven to sway through the trigger part 31.

[0069] Specifically, the recess 331 is provided on the mating cover 33.

[0070] In the first embodiment, the recess 331 can avoid the reversing seat 121, and the bottom surface of the recess 331 can abut against the upper end of the reversing rod 131 to drive the reversing rod 131 to swing.

[0071] like Figure 4 As shown, the reversing lever 131 includes a first segment 132 and a second segment 133 connected at an angle. The connection between the first segment 132 and the second segment 133 is hinged to the protrusion 12. When the upper cover 30 is placed on the outer casing 10, the trigger part 31 abuts against the first segment 132, causing the first segment 132 to rotate, and the second segment 133 drives the connecting member 43 to move. With the reversing lever 131 configured as described above, the first segment 132 can cooperate with the trigger part 31, causing the trigger part 31 to contact the first segment 132, driving the first segment 132 to rotate, which in turn drives the second segment 133 to rotate, and in turn drives the connecting member 43 to move.

[0072] In the first embodiment, the sliding frame 50 is provided with a clearance hole, and the lower end of the second rod segment 133 passes through the clearance hole. The second rod segment 133 abuts against the sliding frame 50, driving the sliding frame 50 to move.

[0073] The working process of the cooking appliance in Embodiment 1 is as follows: When the upper cover 30 is closed on the outer shell 10, the bottom surface of the recess 331 contacts the reversing rod 131 and drives the first rod segment 132 to rotate relative to the protrusion 12. The first rod segment 132 drives the second rod segment 133 to rotate, and the second rod segment 133 drives the sliding frame 50 to move laterally. The sliding frame 50 drives the connecting piece 43 to move axially along the drive shaft. The connecting piece 43 moves from the separated position to the driven position, and then the drive piece 42 is connected to the stirring blade 41 through the connecting piece 43 to drive the stirring blade 41 to rotate, thereby realizing the tumbling and stirring of the ingredients in the cooking machine. Furthermore, when the sliding frame 50 moves, it compresses the reset piece 60. When the upper cover 30 opens the outer shell 10, due to the elastic force provided by the reset piece 60, the sliding frame 50 moves laterally. The sliding frame 50 drives the connecting piece 43 to move from the driven position to the separated position, realizing the separation of the connecting piece 43 from the stirring blade 41. At this time, the inner pot 20 can be removed from the outer shell 10.

[0074] like Figures 6 to 10 As shown, Embodiment 2 of this application provides a cooking appliance. The difference between Embodiment 2 and Embodiment 1 is that in Embodiment 2, the trigger part 31 includes a first magnet 311 disposed on the upper cover 30, and the mating part 13 includes a second magnet 134 movably disposed on the protrusion 12. When the upper cover 30 is placed on the outer shell 10, the first magnet 311 and the second magnet 134 magnetically engage, causing the second magnet 134 to move. The magnetic engagement of the first magnet 311 and the second magnet 134 drives the connecting part 43 to move, which has the advantages of simple structure and low cost.

[0075] like Figure 6 As shown, in Embodiment 2, the lower surface of the upper cover 30 has a protruding bump 332, the first magnet 311 is disposed within the bump 332, and the protruding portion 12 has a relief groove to avoid the bump 332. The bump 332 can protect the first magnet 311 and prevent it from being damaged.

[0076] Specifically, the protrusion 332 is provided on the mating cover 33.

[0077] The sliding frame 50 is provided with a convex bulge, and the second magnet 134 is disposed inside the convex bulge to protect the second magnet 134.

[0078] The working process of the cooking appliance in Embodiment 2 is as follows: When the upper cover 30 is closed on the outer shell 10, the first magnet 311 attracts the second magnet 134 towards the first magnet 311 through magnetic attraction. The second magnet 134 drives the sliding frame 50 to move laterally, and the sliding frame 50 drives the connecting member 43 to move axially along the drive shaft. The connecting member 43 moves from the separated position to the driven position, and then the drive member 42 is connected to the stirring blade 41 through the connecting member 43 to drive the stirring blade 41 to rotate, thereby realizing the tumbling and stirring of the ingredients in the cooking machine. Furthermore, when the second magnet 134 drives the sliding frame 50 to move, it compresses the reset member 60. When the upper cover 30 opens the outer shell 10, due to the elastic force provided by the reset member 60, the sliding frame 50 moves laterally, and the sliding frame 50 drives the connecting member 43 to move from the driven position to the separated position, realizing the separation of the connecting member 43 from the stirring blade 41. At this time, the inner pot 20 can be taken out from the outer shell 10.

[0079] The cooking appliances include stir-fry machines and multi-functional pots with stir-frying functions.

[0080] It should be noted that the terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to limit the exemplary embodiments according to this application. As used herein, the singular form is intended to include the plural form as well, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise. Furthermore, it should be understood that when the terms "comprising" and / or "including" are used in this specification, they indicate the presence of features, steps, operations, devices, components, and / or combinations thereof.

[0081] Unless otherwise specifically stated, the relative arrangement, numerical expressions, and values ​​of the components and steps described in these embodiments do not limit the scope of this invention. It should also be understood that, for ease of description, the dimensions of the various parts shown in the drawings are not drawn to actual scale. Techniques, methods, and devices known to those skilled in the art may not be discussed in detail, but where appropriate, such techniques, methods, and devices should be considered part of the specification. In all examples shown and discussed herein, any specific values ​​should be interpreted as merely exemplary and not as limitations. Therefore, other examples of exemplary embodiments may have different values. It should be noted that similar reference numerals and letters in the following drawings denote similar items; therefore, once an item is defined in one drawing, it need not be further discussed in subsequent drawings.

[0082] In the description of this utility model, it should be understood that the directional terms such as "front, back, up, down, left, right", "horizontal, vertical, horizontal" and "top, bottom" indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description. Unless otherwise stated, these directional terms do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation on the scope of protection of this utility model. The directional terms "inner" and "outer" refer to the inner and outer contours of each component itself.

[0083] For ease of description, spatial relative terms such as "above," "on top of," "on the upper surface of," "above," etc., are used herein to describe the spatial positional relationship of a device or feature as shown in the figures to other devices or features. It should be understood that spatial relative terms are intended to encompass different orientations in use or operation beyond the orientation of the device as described in the figures. For example, if the device in the figures were inverted, a device described as "above" or "on top of" other devices or structures would subsequently be positioned as "below" or "under" other devices or structures. Thus, the exemplary term "above" can include both "above" and "below." The device may also be positioned in other different ways (rotated 90 degrees or in other orientations), and the spatial relative descriptions used herein will be interpreted accordingly.

[0084] Furthermore, it should be noted that the use of terms such as "first" and "second" to define components is merely for the purpose of distinguishing the corresponding components. Unless otherwise stated, the above terms have no special meaning and therefore cannot be construed as limiting the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0085] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the utility model. Various modifications and variations can be made to this utility model by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
