[0043] In order to solve the above problems, as shown in Figures 1 to 11 , the present application provides an upper cover assembly 100 and a grilling appliance, the handle of the grilling appliance can ensure that the upper cover assembly is stable and convenient during the process of turning from the closed state to the 90-degree open state. Wherein, the length direction of the grilling appliance is defined as Figures 1 to 6 the left-right direction, the width direction of the grilling appliance is defined as Figures 1 to 6 the front-rear direction, and the height direction of the grilling appliance is defined as Figures 1 to 6 the up-down direction.
[0044] As shown in Figures 1 to 4 , specifically, the upper cover assembly 100 is used for a grilling appliance, the grilling appliance comprises a lower shell assembly 200 and an upper cover assembly 100 rotatably connected with the lower shell assembly 200, the upper cover assembly 100 comprises an upper cover 10, a handle 20 and a limiting assembly 60, wherein: the upper cover 10 is provided with a mounting groove 11, the mounting groove 11 is located away from one end of the upper cover assembly 100 for rotatable connection with the lower shell assembly 200; the handle 20 is movably arranged on the upper cover 10, the handle 20 comprises a force applying part 21 and a supporting part 22 connected with the force applying part 21, one of the supporting part 22 and the mounting groove 11 is provided with a rotating shaft 23, the other is provided with a sliding groove 12 matched with the rotating shaft 23, the sliding groove 12 has a limiting section 121 and a rotating section 122, the handle 20 has a storage state and an unfolded state, the rotating shaft 23 is slidably switched between the limiting section 121 and the rotating section 122 to switch the handle 20 between the storage state and the unfolded state; wherein, in the storage state, the rotating shaft 23 is located in the limiting section 121, the supporting part 22 is located in the mounting groove 11 and cannot rotate, when the rotating shaft 23 slides into the rotating section 122, the supporting part 22 can rotate relative to the mounting groove 11 to change the handle 20 to the unfolded state, so that a lower surface of the supporting part 22 and an upper surface of the upper cover 10 form a set angle.
[0045] It should be noted that the upper cover assembly 100 has a closed state as shown in Figures 1 to 5 , a 90-degree open cover state (not shown in the figure) and a 180-degree open state as shown in Figure 6 . The user can control the upper cover assembly 100 to rotate in the clockwise direction of Figure 1 relative to the lower shell assembly 200 from the closed state to the 90-degree open cover state and the 180-degree open state in turn, or control the upper cover assembly 100 to rotate in the counterclockwise direction of Figure 6 relative to the lower shell assembly 200 from the open state to the 90-degree open cover state and the closed state in turn. Among them, in the closed state, the upper cover assembly 100 and the lower shell assembly 200 are approximately 0°; in the 90-degree open cover state, the upper cover assembly 100 and the lower shell assembly 200 are approximately 90° to 105°; in the open state or 180-degree open state, the upper cover assembly 100 and the lower shell assembly 200 are approximately 180°.
[0046] In the upper cover assembly 100 provided by the embodiment of the utility model, in the storage state, the supporting part 22 of the handle 20 is located in the mounting groove 11, so that the supporting part 22 does not excessively protrude from the upper cover 10, avoiding increasing the overall thickness of the upper cover assembly 100, so as to facilitate storage; in the opening process of the upper cover assembly 100 from the closed state to the 90-degree open cover state, the handle 20 will not be separated from the upper cover 10, and the upper cover 10 is more stable and convenient to pull; when it is needed to unfold the upper cover assembly 100 from the 90-degree open cover state to the open state, the force applying part 21 is first applied with force, so that the rotating shaft 23 moves from the limiting section 121 to the rotating section 122, at this time the rotating shaft 23 can rotate in the sliding groove 12, then the force applying part 21 is applied with force in the clockwise direction, so that the handle 20 rotates and unfolds in the clockwise direction relative to the upper cover 10, and the end of the force applying part 21 or the supporting part 22 away from the upper cover 10 can be supported on an external plane such as a desktop or a table top, so as to support the upper cover assembly 100, so as to ensure the stability and reliability of the upper cover assembly 100 in the open state.
[0047] As shown in Figures 5 to 6 , the handle 20 has a storage state as shown in Figure 1 , an unlocked state as shown in Figure 3 and an unfolded state as shown in Figures 5 to 6 , and the rotating shaft 23 can be slidably switched between the limiting section 121 and the rotating section 122, so as to switch the handle between the storage state and the unfolded state. Of course, switching the handle between the storage state and the unfolded state also makes the rotating shaft 23 slidably switch between the limiting section 121 and the rotating section 122. That is, the user can also control the handle 20 to move from the storage state to the unlocked state and then in the clockwise direction of Figure 1clockwise direction relative to the upper cover 10 to the unfolded state, or controls the support portion 22 to move from the unfolded state to the storage state along the counterclockwise direction relative to the upper cover 10. In the storage state, the rotating shaft 23 is located in the limiting section 121, and in the unfolded state, a set angle a is formed between the lower surface of the support portion 22 and the upper surface of the upper cover 10, and the range of the set angle a satisfies 90 degrees to 105 degrees. In order to prevent the handle 20 from being separated from the upper cover 10 when the upper cover assembly 100 is opened from the closed state to the 90-degree open state, the set angle a is greater than or equal to 90 degrees, and in order to prevent the length of the handle 20 from being too large, the set angle a is less than or equal to 105 degrees. Figure 5 In the storage state, the rotating shaft 23 is located in the limiting section 121, and in the unfolded state, a set angle a is formed between the lower surface of the support portion 22 and the upper surface of the upper cover 10, and the range of the set angle a satisfies 90 degrees to 105 degrees. In order to prevent the handle 20 from being separated from the upper cover 10 when the upper cover assembly 100 is opened from the closed state to the 90-degree open state, the set angle a is greater than or equal to 90 degrees, and in order to prevent the length of the handle 20 from being too large, the set angle a is less than or equal to 105 degrees. Figure 1 In the storage state, the rotating shaft 23 is located in the limiting section 121, and in the unfolded state, a set angle a is formed between the lower surface of the support portion 22 and the upper surface of the upper cover 10, and the range of the set angle a satisfies 90 degrees to 105 degrees. In order to prevent the handle 20 from being separated from the upper cover 10 when the upper cover assembly 100 is opened from the closed state to the 90-degree open state, the set angle a is greater than or equal to 90 degrees, and in order to prevent the length of the handle 20 from being too large, the set angle a is less than or equal to 105 degrees.
[0048] As shown in FIG. 1, the handle 20 is rotatable relative to the upper cover 10 within a range of 90 degrees to 105 degrees. In the state shown in FIG. 1, the upper cover assembly 100 is in the closed state, and the support portion 22 is in the storage state. At this time, the upper surface of the upper cover 10 and the upper surface of the support portion 22 are both upward, and the lower surface of the upper cover 10 and the lower surface of the support portion 22 are both downward. That is, the handle 20 is rotatable relative to the upper cover 10 within a range of 90 degrees to 105 degrees. The angle a between the upper surface of the support portion 22 and the upper surface of the upper cover 10 can be any angle within the range of 90 degrees to 105 degrees, such as 90 degrees, 95 degrees, 100 degrees, 105 degrees, etc. The angle a between the upper surface of the support portion 22 and the upper surface of the upper cover 10 is greater than or equal to 90 degrees, and when the upper cover assembly 100 is in the open state, the force applied by the upper cover 10 to the support portion 22 cannot cause the handle 20 to be rotated relative to the upper cover 10 in the counterclockwise direction to the storage state, thereby further improving the stability and reliability of the handle 20 supporting the upper cover assembly 100. In addition, the angle a between the upper surface of the support portion 22 and the upper surface of the upper cover 10 is less than or equal to 105 degrees, preventing the handle 20 from being rotated relative to the upper cover 10 to an angle that is too large and affects the supporting effect, and also preventing the length of the handle 20 from being too large. Figure 2 As shown in FIG. 1, the handle 20 is rotatable relative to the upper cover 10 within a range of 90 degrees to 105 degrees. In the state shown in FIG. 1, the upper cover assembly 100 is in the closed state, and the support portion 22 is in the storage state. At this time, the upper surface of the upper cover 10 and the upper surface of the support portion 22 are both upward, and the lower surface of the upper cover 10 and the lower surface of the support portion 22 are both downward. That is, the handle 20 is rotatable relative to the upper cover 10 within a range of 90 degrees to 105 degrees. The angle a between the upper surface of the support portion 22 and the upper surface of the upper cover 10 can be any angle within the range of 90 degrees to 105 degrees, such as 90 degrees, 95 degrees, 100 degrees, 105 degrees, etc. The angle a between the upper surface of the support portion 22 and the upper surface of the upper cover 10 is greater than or equal to 90 degrees, and when the upper cover assembly 100 is in the open state, the force applied by the upper cover 10 to the support portion 22 cannot cause the handle 20 to be rotated relative to the upper cover 10 in the counterclockwise direction to the storage state, thereby further improving the stability and reliability of the handle 20 supporting the upper cover assembly 100. In addition, the angle a between the upper surface of the support portion 22 and the upper surface of the upper cover 10 is less than or equal to 105 degrees, preventing the handle 20 from being rotated relative to the upper cover 10 to an angle that is too large and affects the supporting effect, and also preventing the length of the handle 20 from being too large.
[0049] Furthermore, when the rotating shaft 23 is located in the limiting section 121, the overlap dimension L1 between the locking member 62 and the limiting groove is 2mm to 5mm. It should be noted that the overlap dimension L1 refers to the length of the portion of the locking member 62 that is engaged within the limiting groove in the direction perpendicular to the rotation axis of the handle 20. L1 can be any dimension within the range of 2mm to 5mm, such as 2mm, 3mm, 4mm, or 5mm, but is preferably 3mm. This increases the contact area between the locking member 62 and the inner wall of the limiting groove, improving the limiting effect between the locking member 62 and the limiting groove, thereby enhancing the stability and reliability of the handle 20 in its retracted state.
[0050] like Figure 4 As shown, when the rotating shaft 23 is located in the rotating section 122, the minimum dimension L2 between the locking piece 62 and the limiting groove is not less than 2mm. L2 can be any dimension greater than or equal to 2mm, such as 2mm, 3mm, 4mm, or 5mm. This prevents interference between the locking piece 62 and the inner wall of the limiting groove when the rotating shaft 23 rotates within the sliding groove 12, thus allowing the handle 20 to rotate smoothly relative to the upper cover 10.
[0051] In the illustrated embodiment, the support portion 22 is provided with a rotating shaft 23, the mounting groove 11 is provided with a sliding groove 12 that mates with the rotating shaft 23, and the rotating section 122 is located at the end of the limiting section 121 away from the upper cover assembly 100 for rotatable connection with the lower housing assembly 200. When it is necessary to control the handle 20 to move from the retracted state to the unlocked state, a pulling force is applied to the force application portion 21 away from the limiting section 121, so that the handle 20 moves a distance of not less than 4mm away from the limiting section 121, the rotating shaft 23 moves from the limiting section 121 to the rotating section 122, the locking piece 62 disengages from the limiting groove, and the minimum dimension L2 between the locking piece 62 and the limiting groove is not less than 2mm; when it is necessary to control the handle 20 to move from the unlocked state to the retracted state, a pushing force is applied to the force application portion 21 toward the limiting section 121, so that the rotating shaft 23 moves from the rotating section 122 to the limiting section 121, and the locking piece 62 engages with the limiting groove. Of course, in other embodiments, the rotating section 122 can also be located near the end of the limiting section 121 near the upper cover assembly 100 for rotatable connection with the lower housing assembly 200. When it is necessary to control the handle 20 to move from the retracted state to the unlocked state, a pushing force is applied to the force-applying part 21 toward the limiting section 121; when it is necessary to control the handle 20 to move from the retracted / unlocked state to the unlocked state, a pulling force is applied to the force-applying part 21 away from the limiting section 121. Alternatively, the mounting groove 11 may be provided with a rotating shaft 23, and the support part 22 may be provided with a sliding groove 12 that matches the rotating shaft 23.
[0052] like Figure 2 and Figure 10As shown, the clamping piece 62 has at least one plane, and the limiting slot has at least one plane of the inner wall surface, when the shaft 23 is in the limiting section 121, the plane of the clamping piece 62 is attached to the plane of the inner wall surface of the limiting piece 61. The plane contact between the clamping piece 62 and the inner wall surface of the limiting slot can increase the contact area between the clamping piece 62 and the inner wall surface of the limiting slot, improve the limiting effect between the clamping piece 62 and the limiting slot, and thus improve the stability and reliability of the handle 20 in the storage state.
[0053] As shown in the drawings, Figure 2 In an embodiment, the clamping piece 62 is square, and the limiting slot has at least one plane of the inner wall surface that can be attached to one plane of the square clamping piece 62. The structure of the clamping piece 62 and the limiting slot is simple, and is convenient for production and processing. Of course, in other embodiments, the clamping piece 62 can also be a non-rotating body structure such as a triangle, as long as the clamping piece 62 cannot rotate in the limiting slot, and the embodiments of the present application are not specifically limited herein.
[0054] As shown in the drawings, Figure 9 The two ends of the shaft 23 are respectively provided with a clamping piece 62. The number of the sliding grooves 12 is two, and is matched with the two ends of the shaft 23, and the number of the limiting pieces 61 is two, and the two limiting pieces 61 are respectively arranged in the limiting sections 121 of the two sliding grooves 12 to form two limiting slots. Through the cooperation of the two clamping pieces 62 and the two limiting slots, the limiting effect can be improved, the end of the handle 20 without the clamping piece 62 can be prevented from shaking relative to the upper cover 10, and thus the stability and reliability of the handle 20 in the storage state can be further improved.
[0055] As shown in the drawings, Figure 9 The upper cover assembly 100 further includes a pressing plate 30 with a groove 31, the pressing plate 30 is arranged on the slot of the sliding groove 12, and forms an annular hole with the sliding groove 12. The pressing plate 30 can prevent the shaft 23 from being pulled out of the sliding groove 12, ensure the stability and reliability of the connection between the handle 20 and the upper cover 10, and the separate arrangement of the pressing plate 30 and the upper cover 10 can also facilitate the disassembly and assembly of the handle 20. Specifically, the groove 31 can have a limiting groove and a rotating groove corresponding to the limiting section 121 and the rotating section 122 respectively, and the limiting piece 61, the limiting section 121 and the limiting groove jointly form a limiting slot matched with the clamping piece 62.
[0056] As shown in the drawings, Figure 9As shown, the upper cover 10 is further provided with an avoiding hole 13, the bottom of the mounting groove 11 is provided with an avoiding hole 111, the avoiding hole 111 and the side wall of the mounting groove 11 away from the force applying part 21 form the avoiding hole 13; the back of the bottom of the mounting groove 11 is provided with a stop protrusion (not shown in the figure), in the unfolded state, the supporting part 22 is at least partially located in the avoiding hole 13 and the lower surface of the supporting part 22 abuts against the stop protrusion. When it is needed to unfold the upper cover assembly 100 from the closed state to the open state, the force applying part 21 is first applied with force, so that the handle 20 moves from the storage state to the unlocking state, then the force applying part 21 is applied with force in the clockwise direction, so that the handle 20 rotates relative to the upper cover 10 in the clockwise direction to the unfolded state, the lower surface of the supporting part 22 abuts against the stop protrusion, at this time the supporting part 22 cannot continue to rotate in the clockwise direction; the force applying part 21 is continuously applied with force in the clockwise direction, so that the upper cover assembly 100 as a whole rotates from the closed state to the open state in the clockwise direction. The abutment of the lower surface of the supporting part 22 and the stop protrusion can prevent the angle of rotation of the handle 20 relative to the upper cover 10 from being too large to affect the supporting effect, so as to ensure the stability and reliability of the handle 20 supporting the upper cover assembly 100, so as to ensure the stability and reliability of the upper cover assembly 100 in the open state.
[0057] As Figure 9 shown, in an embodiment, the sliding groove 12 is arranged on the back of the bottom of the mounting groove 11. When assembling the handle 20, the rotating shaft 23 is first passed through the avoiding hole 13 and matched with the sliding groove 12 on the back of the bottom of the mounting groove 11, then the pressing plate 30 is arranged on the slot of the sliding groove 12, and the annular hole formed by the recess 31 and the sliding groove 12 is matched with the rotating shaft 23. And, since the rotating shaft 23 needs to pass through the avoiding hole 13 and extend to the back of the bottom of the mounting groove 11, the rotating shaft 23 and the supporting part 22 can be connected through the rotating shaft seat 24. Of course, in other embodiments, the sliding groove 12 is arranged on the front of the bottom of the mounting groove 11, or on the side wall of the mounting groove 11.
[0058] As Figures 7 to 8As shown, the mounting groove 11 is arranged close to the edge of the upper cover 10, and the side wall of the mounting groove 11 close to the edge is provided with an opening, and the peripheral side of the supporting part 22 matches the side wall of the mounting groove 11. Wherein, the side wall of the mounting groove 11 close to the edge is provided with an opening refers to that the side wall of the mounting groove 11 away from the rotating connection between the upper cover assembly 100 and the lower shell assembly 200 is provided with an opening, and the opening can facilitate the user to hold the force applying part 21. The peripheral side of the supporting part 22 matching the side wall of the mounting groove 11 makes the bottom wall of the mounting groove 11 not exposed, thereby the aesthetic degree of the upper cover assembly 100 can be improved. Moreover, the force applying part 21 is farther away from the end of the rotating connection between the upper cover assembly 100 and the lower shell assembly 200, and when the user controls the upper cover assembly 100 to rotate relative to the lower shell assembly 200 through the handle 20 in the storage state, it is more labor-saving; in the unfolded state, the force applying part 21 supports the upper cover assembly 100 more stably. Of course, in other embodiments, the mounting groove 11 can also be arranged away from the edge of the upper cover 10, that is, the mounting groove 11 is not provided with an opening, and along the length direction of the upper cover assembly 100, the half region of the upper cover 10 close to the end of the rotating connection between the upper cover assembly 100 and the lower shell assembly 200 is defined as the first region, and the half region of the upper cover 10 away from the end of the rotating connection between the upper cover assembly 100 and the lower shell assembly 200 is defined as the second region, and the mounting groove 11 is located in the second region.
[0059] In an embodiment, in the storage state, along the thickness direction of the upper cover 10, the outer surface of the supporting part 22 is basically flush with the outer surface of the upper cover 10. In this way, the aesthetic degree of the upper cover assembly 100 can be improved. It is worth noting that the upper surface of the supporting part 22 being basically flush with the upper surface of the upper cover 10 can be understood as that overall, the upper surface of the supporting part 22 and the upper surface of the upper cover 10 form a similar surface, and the influence caused by assembly error or assembly gap is ignored here. Of course, in other embodiments, the supporting part 22 can also be partially located in the mounting groove 11, that is, the upper surface of the supporting part 22 is slightly higher than the upper surface of the upper cover 10; or the upper surface of the supporting part 22 can also be slightly lower than the upper surface of the upper cover 10.
[0060] As shown in the embodiment, Figure 11 in the storage state, the force applying part 21 at least partially protrudes from the peripheral edge or the upper side edge of the upper cover 10. In this way, the user can hold and apply force to the force applying part 21. When it is needed to unfold the upper cover assembly 100 from the closed state to the 90-degree open state or the open state, the force applying part 21 can be pulled.
[0061] As shown in another embodiment, Figure 1 in the storage state, the force applying part 21 extends from the supporting part 22 towards the direction away from the upper surface of the upper cover 10, and the outer surface of the force applying part 21 is adapted to the side surface of the upper cover 10. In this way, Figure 5The state shown is described, that is, the upper cover assembly 100 is in the closed state, and the support portion 22 is in the unfolded state, at this time, the outer surface of the force applying portion 21 faces upward, the lower surface of the force applying portion 21 faces downward, and the lower end surface of the force applying portion 21 faces left. Since the force applying portion 21 extends towards the upper surface of the upper cover 10, the force applying portion 21 does not protrude from the upper surface of the upper cover 10 in the storage state, so that the overall thickness of the upper cover assembly 100 can be avoided to be increased, and the aesthetic degree of the upper cover assembly 100 is further improved. Moreover, the force applying portion 21 does not protrude from the side surface of the upper cover 10, and the overall length of the upper cover assembly 100 can be avoided to be increased, so as to be convenient for storage, and the packaging space and cost can be saved. It is worth mentioning that the outer surface of the force applying portion 21 is adapted to the side surface of the upper cover 10, which can be understood as that, from the whole, the outer surface of the force applying portion 21 is flush with the side surface of the upper cover 10, and the outer surface of the force applying portion 21 and the side surface of the upper cover 10 form a similar surface, and the influence caused by assembly error or assembly gap is ignored here.
[0062] Further, the force applying gap 50 is between the lower end surface of the force applying portion 21 and the groove bottom of the mounting groove 11. The force applying gap 50 between the lower end surface of the force applying portion 21 and the groove bottom of the mounting groove 11 enables the user's finger to stretch into the force applying gap 50 and apply force to the lower end surface of the force applying portion 21. Specifically, the height H3 of the force applying gap 50 is not less than 10 mm. Wherein, H3 can be 10 mm, 11 mm, 12 mm or any size greater than or equal to 10 mm. When it is needed to unfold the upper cover assembly 100 from the closed state to the open state, first, force is applied to the force applying portion 21 at the force applying gap 50, so that the handle 20 moves from the storage state to the unlocked state, then force is applied to the lower end surface of the force applying portion 21 at the force applying gap 50, so that the handle 20 rotates from the unlocked state to the unfolded state in the clockwise direction, and then the force applying portion 21 is pulled, so that the upper cover assembly 100 rotates as a whole from the closed state to the open state. Moreover, since the force applying portion 21 extends towards the upper surface of the upper cover 10, the force applying portion 21 does not protrude from the upper surface of the upper cover 10 in the storage state, so that the overall thickness of the upper cover assembly 100 can be avoided to be increased, so as to be convenient for storage. Of course, in other embodiments, the outer surface of the force applying portion 21 can slightly protrude from the side surface of the upper cover 10; or the outer surface of the force applying portion 21 can be concave relative to the side surface of the upper cover 10.
[0063] As shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, the upper cover assembly 100 is connected to the lower shell assembly 200 through the handle 20, and the handle 20 is connected to the force applying portion 21 through the hinge 30. Figure 1 and Figure 6 As shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, the upper cover assembly 100 is connected to the lower shell assembly 200 through the handle 20, and the handle 20 is connected to the force applying portion 21 through the hinge 30. Figure 1 the closed state, the 90-degree open cover state and the open cover state shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, the user can control the upper cover assembly 100 to rotate relative to the lower shell assembly 200 through the handle 20. Figure 6The opening state and the closed state are switched. In the closed state and the 90-degree open state, the handle 20 can be in a storage state to facilitate storage of the grilling appliance and ensure stability of the upper cover assembly 100 in the 90-degree open state. In the open state, the handle 20 can be rotated relative to the upper cover 10 to an unfolded state to stably support the upper cover assembly 100 by the force applying part 21.
[0064] As shown in the drawings, Figure 6 As shown, the lower shell assembly 200 also has a supporting leg 201, and the distance between the upper surface of the upper cover 10 and the plane on which the supporting leg 201 is located in the unfolded state is H1, and the height dimension of the handle 20 protruding from the upper cover 10 is H2, so that H2-H1≥1mm is satisfied. H2-H1 can be 1mm, 2mm, 3mm, or any size greater than or equal to 1mm. The upper cover assembly 100 also includes an upper baking tray 40 provided on the lower surface of the upper cover 10. When the supporting leg 201 and the force applying part 21 are supported on an external plane such as a table top or a countertop, the upper baking tray 40 is higher at the end away from the upper cover assembly 100 and the lower shell assembly 200 than at the end close to the upper cover assembly 100 and the lower shell assembly 200, and the upper baking tray 40 is inclined downward toward the lower shell assembly 200, so that the oil on the upper baking tray 40 can flow along the upper baking tray 40 to the lower shell assembly 200, avoiding the oil flowing to other places and being difficult to clean.
