[0027] In order to make the technical means, creative features, purposes and effects of the present application easy to understand, the following embodiments will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0028] Embodiment one,

[0029] Referring to the drawings shown in Figures 1 to 6 The cooking equipment with a movable panel provided by the present embodiment comprises:

[0030] a body main body 1;

[0031] a panel assembly 2, which is movably installed on the body main body 1 through a limiting assembly 3 and is caused by the limiting assembly 3 to have a reversible unlocking state and a locked state locked by the limiting assembly 3.

[0032] Based on the above technical solution, the cooking equipment with a movable panel comprises the body main body 1, the panel assembly 2 and the limiting assembly 3, and the panel assembly 2 can be reversibly moved under the action of the limiting assembly 3, so that the panel assembly 2 can be reversibly unfolded and stored, and is locked at different angles to facilitate different users to observe the information displayed on the panel assembly 2, and also makes the packaging and storage volume of the cooking equipment after being reversed smaller.

[0033] In a preferred embodiment, the limiting assembly 3 comprises a first limiting mechanism 4 and a second limiting mechanism 9 oppositely arranged on the main body 1, and the panel assembly 2 is pivotally connected to the first limiting mechanism 4 and the second limiting mechanism 9 on opposite sides, and at least one of the first limiting mechanism 4 and the second limiting mechanism 9 has a locking structure to limit the rotation of the panel assembly 2.

[0034] As a further preferred embodiment, the first limiting mechanism 4 comprises a fixed part 5 and a movable part 6 oppositely arranged, and the fixed part 5 and the movable part 6 are respectively provided with tooth groove structures that are adapted to engage each other on one side, the fixed part 5 is connected to the main body 1 on one side, and the movable part 6 is at least partially limitedly connected to the panel assembly 2 and can move along the central axis direction thereof, and the first limiting mechanism 4 further comprises a trigger member 7 to drive the movable part 6 to move towards or away from the fixed part 5, and to cause the movable part 6 to have a locked state of engaging the fixed part 5 and an unlocked state of being disengaged from the fixed part 5 to be able to rotate synchronously with the panel assembly 2. Further, the panel assembly 2 has a recess 21 to accommodate at least a part of the movable part 6, and the recess 21 and the movable part 6 have a rotation limiting structure therebetween to facilitate the synchronous rotation of the movable part 6 and the panel assembly 2, and the inner bottom surface of the recess 21 and the movable part 6 further have a resilient member 8 therebetween to facilitate the movable part 6 to return to the state of engaging the fixed part 5. The tooth groove structures on the fixed part 5 and the movable part 6, the trigger member 7 and the resilient member 8 together constitute the above-mentioned locking structure.

[0035] As a further preferred embodiment, the trigger member 7 is in the shape of a column as a whole, the fixed part 5 has a passage 51 in the middle to pass through the trigger member 7, and one end of the trigger member 7 passes through the passage 51 and abuts against the movable part 6 to facilitate the movable part 6 to be disengaged from the fixed part 5 by pressing the trigger member 7, and the resilient member 8 provides a pre-tightening force to the movable part 6 to face the fixed part 5. Further, one end of the movable part 6 facing the fixed part 5 has a clamping groove 62, and one end of the trigger member 7 passing through the passage 51 has a clamping block structure 71 that is adapted to the structure of the clamping groove 62 to make the connection between them more stable, but obviously, the trigger member 7 can also be a rod connected to the side wall of the movable part 6 and extending radially to drive the movable part 6 to move away from the fixed part 5. Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown in the above-mentioned embodiments, the clamping groove 62 and the clamping block structure 71 are both in the shape of a square, which is a relatively stable structure, but obviously other non-circular shapes such as triangular, hexagonal or other special-shaped structures can also be used.

[0036] As a further preferred embodiment, in combination with the above-mentioned embodiments, the second limiting mechanism 9 is similar to the first limiting mechanism 4, and the panel assembly 2 is pivotally connected to the first limiting mechanism 4 and the second limiting mechanism 9 on opposite sides. Figures 4 to 6As shown, a limiting rod 22 is erected in the groove 21. The movable member 6 has a through hole in the middle, and the limiting rod 22 extends at least partially into the through hole. At least one limiting slider 61 extends radially from the outer wall of the movable member 6. The inner wall of the groove 21 has grooves (not shown in the figure) that are opposite in position to and match the number of limiting sliders 61, so as to allow the limiting sliders 61 to slide along the grooves to prevent the movable member 6 from rotating in the groove 21. That is, the limiting sliders 61 and the grooves together constitute the above-mentioned rotation limiting structure. Since the groove 21 and the movable member 6 are both circular in this embodiment, the limiting sliders 61 and the groove structure are needed to achieve the purpose of preventing rotation. However, they are also made into non-circular structures, so that they themselves have the purpose of preventing rotation. Furthermore, the elastic member 8 is a spring, and the spring is fitted on the outer periphery of the end of the movable member 6 that extends into the groove 21.

[0037] As a further preferred embodiment, the second limiting mechanism 9 is fixed to the main body 1 on one side and forms a rotating shaft structure on the other end. The panel assembly 2 has a circular groove on one side that matches the shape of the rotating shaft structure, so that the two form a pivot connection structure. However, the second limiting mechanism 9 can also be designed with the same structure as the first limiting mechanism 4.

[0038] In a preferred embodiment, such as Figure 1 As shown, the cooking device is an air fryer, and the panel assembly 2 and the limiting assembly 3 are both arranged on the side outer wall of the main body 1.

[0039] Example 2, as Figure 7 As shown, the cooking device with a movable panel provided in this embodiment is basically the same as that in the first embodiment above. The only difference is that the cooking device is an air fryer, and the panel assembly 2 and the limiting assembly 3 are both arranged on the upper surface of the main body 1.

[0040] It is worth noting that the locking structure used in this embodiment can also be a disc-shaped structure with an annular perforation for the movable member 6, and a rod-shaped structure for the trigger member 7 that passes through the fixed member 5. The locking and unlocking structure of the panel assembly 2 is realized based on the trigger member 7 passing through and exiting the annular perforation, and includes, but is not limited to, such equivalent structures. At the same time, the cooking device is not limited to an air fryer, but can also be other kitchen cooking utensils. The panel assembly 2 has a circuit board inside and a display screen on the front surface of the panel assembly 2. The circuit board is electrically connected to the main controller inside the main body 1. Its wiring is preferably achieved by passing through the perforation in the middle of the second limiting mechanism 9 mentioned above to form a wire hole, which is a common method in the current field, so it is omitted here. Thus, cooking information is displayed on the display screen and button or touch adjustment can be realized.

[0041] The above merely describes preferred embodiments of the present application, which are merely illustrative but not restrictive. Those skilled in the art understand that many changes, modifications, or even equivalences can be made to the present application within the spirit and scope of the present application as defined in the claims, and all will fall within the protection scope of the present application.
