[0046] In the description of the present application, it should be understood that the technical features defined by the terms "first", "second", etc. with the concept of order, only for the purpose of clearly describing the defined technical features, so that the defined technical features can be clearly distinguished from other technical features, and do not represent the actual implementation of such naming, therefore, it cannot be understood as a limitation of the present application.

[0047] The present application will be described in detail below with specific embodiments and drawings.

[0048] As shown in Figures 1-6 , Figure 9 , the cooking equipment includes a base 100, an upper cover 200 and a lifting rod 300. The base 100 is provided with a lower baking tray 101. The lower baking tray 101 is configured with a first heating device 104 such as an electric heating tube, and a first temperature controller 105 is also configured for the first heating device. The upper cover 200 is provided with an upper baking tray 201. The upper baking tray 201 is configured with a second heating device 202 such as an electric heating tube, and a second temperature controller 203 is also configured for the second heating device. As shown in Figures 7-8 , the lifting rod 300 includes a first arm 310, a second arm 320 and a handle 330. The first end 311 of the first arm is rotatably assembled to the first side 102 of the base about the first axis n1. The first end 321 of the second arm is rotatably assembled to the second side 103 of the base about the first axis n1. The upper cover 200 is rotatably assembled between the first arm 310 and the second arm 320 about the second axis n2 so as to rotate relative to the first arm and the second arm as needed.

[0049] Among them, the handle 330 is configured with a control panel 331, and the two ends of the handle are rotatably assembled to the second end 312 of the first arm and the second end 322 of the second arm about the third axis n3. Therefore, when holding the handle 330 to change the relative position of the upper cover 200 and the base 100 through the lifting rod 300, such as changing the position between the starting position shown in Figure 1 and the upright position shown in Figure 3 , the attitude of the handle relative to the first arm and the second arm can be changed. Since the control panel is arranged on the handle, it will not be shielded and blocked, and the handle can be rotated as needed to change the direction of the control panel so that the user can observe and control. And thus realize the cooking equipment with rotatable handle.

[0050] As shown in the figure, the cooking equipment is embodied as a frying oven, and the lifting rod can take the upper baking tray to Figure 1the initial position, Figure 3 the upright position, and Figure 5 the flat position. In any position of the upper grill, the lower grill 101 is always facing upward. In the initial position of the upper grill 201, the upper grill 201 is opposite to the lower grill 101, and both the upper grill and the lower grill can be used to grill food from both sides. In the upright position of the upper grill 201, the upper grill is separated from the lower grill, and the upper grill is usually idle, and only the lower grill is used to grill food from one side. In the flat position of the upper grill 201, the upper grill is separated from the lower grill 101 and faces upward, and both the lower grill and the upper grill are used to grill food from one side.

[0051] In view of the above structure, the upper grill has different functions in different positions. In any position of the upper grill, it can be used to grill various foods, and the grilling methods required by different foods, such as temperature, power, and time, are different. Therefore, for different foods, corresponding function control keys 332 are distributed on the control panel for users to select as needed.

[0052] The detection device 400 is arranged on the lifting rod. When the handle changes the posture relative to the first arm and the second arm, the detection device 400 detects the posture of the handle to activate the function control keys corresponding to the position of the upper grill on the control panel. Specifically, the upper grill changes position between two of the initial position, the upright position, and the flat position. It can change position between the initial position and the upright position, or it can change position between the upright position and the flat position. When the upper grill changes to any of the initial position, the upright position, and the flat position, the detection device detects the posture of the handle to activate the function control keys corresponding to the position of the upper grill on the control panel. Accordingly, while changing the orientation of the control panel for the user to observe and control, the function control keys corresponding to the position can be activated, and those not suitable for the position are not activated, avoiding misoperation.

[0053] Specifically, Figures 1-2 the initial position, and Figures 3-4 the upright position, and Figures 5-6 the flat position. In any position of the upper grill, the lower grill 101 is always facing upward. In the initial position of the upper grill 201, the upper grill 201 is opposite to the lower grill 101, and both the upper grill and the lower grill can be used to grill food from both sides. In the upright position of the upper grill 201, the upper grill is separated from the lower grill, and the upper grill is usually idle, and only the lower grill is used to grill food from one side. In the flat position of the upper grill 201, the upper grill is separated from the lower grill 101 and faces upward, and both the lower grill and the upper grill are used to grill food from one side.

[0054] Wherein, when the lifting rod with the upper baking tray changes position between the positions with different function control keys on the control panel, the handle changes the posture relative to the first arm and the second arm, and the detection device detects the posture change of the handle to activate the function control keys corresponding to the positions on the control panel; when the lifting rod with the upper baking tray changes position between the positions with the same function control keys, the handle does not change the posture relative to the first arm and the second arm, and the detection device does not detect the posture change of the handle and the activated function control keys on the control panel remain unchanged. Accordingly, the handle can change the posture relative to the first arm and the second arm during the rotation of the lifting rod around the first axis, instead of changing the posture of the handle relative to the first arm and the second arm after the lifting rod is rotated to the position around the first axis, thereby simplifying the operation.

[0055] In the illustrated structure, when the lifting rod with the upper baking tray is in the initial position, the orientation of the control panel 331 is consistent with the extension direction of the second end 312 of the first arm and the second end 322 of the second arm; when the lifting rod with the upper baking tray is in the upright position and the flat-open position, the orientation of the control panel is perpendicular to the extension direction of the second end of the first arm and the second end of the second arm and faces upward. In order to observe and control.

[0056] In the illustrated position, the detection device 400 includes a touch member 410 and a signal member 420, the touch member 410 is arranged at the first end of the handle 330, and the signal member 420 is fixed to the first arm 310. When the handle changes the posture relative to the first arm and the second arm, the touch member changes the cooperation relationship with the signal member accordingly. The signal member 420 is connected to the controller 500, and the controller 500 is connected to the power panel 600. The controller activates the function control keys corresponding to the position of the upper baking tray according to the signal provided by the signal member, and by operating the function control keys, the corresponding circuit can be connected and the corresponding function can be started by the power panel. Accordingly, the position change of the touch member and the signal member is caused by the mechanical rotation of the handle, and the function control keys corresponding to the position are activated. Wherein, the function control keys can be distributed on the control panel one by one, or can be arranged on the control panel by touch or pressing in a circular display manner.

[0057] In other embodiments, the signal member can be fixed to the second arm, and the touch member is correspondingly arranged at the second end of the handle. Moreover, two groups of touch members and signal members can also be arranged, that is, one touch member is arranged at the first end of the handle, one signal member is fixed to the first arm, and another touch member is arranged at the second end of the handle, and another signal member is fixed to the second arm. Through the cooperation of the two groups of touch members and signal members, the control reliability can be increased and the control mode can be increased.

[0058] In the illustrated structure, the actuating member 410 has the actuating portion 411 and the avoiding portion 412 distributed on the circumference with the third axis n3 as the center. The actuating portion 411 is a cylindrical surface. The avoiding portion 412 is a notch. The signal device 420 is a micro switch. When the actuating member rotates with the third axis as the center, the contact 421 of the micro switch corresponds to the actuating portion 411 or the avoiding portion 412. The micro switch generates different signals when the contact corresponds to the actuating portion and when the contact corresponds to the avoiding portion. The micro switch generates accurate signals to avoid false signals.

[0059] Taking the micro switch as an example, when the contact of the micro switch corresponds to the actuating portion as shown in Figures 3-4 ,the micro switch is closed to provide a closed signal to the controller. When the contact of the micro switch corresponds to the avoiding portion as shown in Figures 5-6 ,the micro switch is opened to provide an open signal to the controller. Accordingly, different signals are provided by the closing and opening of the micro switch. Figures 1-2

[0060] In other embodiments, the micro switch can be a normally closed switch. When the contact of the micro switch corresponds to the actuating portion as shown in Figures 3-4 , the micro switch is opened to provide an open signal to the controller. When the contact of the micro switch corresponds to the avoiding portion as shown in Figures 5-6 , the micro switch is closed to provide a closed signal to the controller. Accordingly, different signals are provided by the closing and opening of the micro switch. Figures 1-2

[0061] In other embodiments, the signal device can be an optoelectronic element or an electromagnetic element. The actuating member is replaced by a component that cooperates with the optoelectronic element or the electromagnetic element. The same signal change is achieved when the handle changes the posture relative to the first arm and the second arm, and different signals are provided to the controller.

[0062] As shown in Figure 8 , the second end of the first arm and / or the second end of the second arm has a receiving cavity formed by assembling the first arm and / or the second arm. Accordingly, the detection device is protected and hidden from external factors.

[0063] In the illustrated structure, the function control key is a touch switch. Compared with a rotary knob or other control member, the touch switch occupies a small position, making the handle structure regular.

[0064] When using the above-mentioned grilling device to grill food, according to the type of food, the user holds the handle to rotate the lifting rod to bring the upper grill plate to the initial position as shown in Figure 1 , the upright position as shown in Figure 3 , or the horizontal position as shown in Figure 5The handle can change its posture relative to the first arm and the second arm during the lifting rod rotating process, and the micro switch cooperates with the touch member to detect the posture change of the handle, generates a signal and provides the signal to the controller, and the controller activates the function control key corresponding to the position of the upper baking plate according to the signal provided by the micro switch.
