Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of kitchenware technology, and more specifically, to a self-usable induction cooker food warming plate. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, most food warming boards on the market are sold individually. To increase usable area, modular food warming boards have also been introduced. These modular boards typically use a main board with multiple auxiliary boards to expand the area. The power supply and controller are usually located on the main board, while the auxiliary boards are only used for electrical connection to the main board, powered and controlled by it. Induction cookers are usually sold separately. Although induction cookers and food warming boards have different functions and scenarios, there are still a few situations where both need to be used simultaneously. When used together, the two independent devices can lead to cluttered and disorganized placement, complex wiring, and the need for multiple power interfaces. However, there is currently no product that can integrate an induction cooker and a food warming board. Therefore, how to integrate an induction cooker and a food warming board so that they can be used together as a single unit or separately is the technical problem that this invention aims to solve.

Detailed Implementation

[0030] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments, so that those skilled in the art can implement it based on the description.

[0031] It should be understood that terms such as “having,” “comprising,” and “including” as used herein do not exclude the presence or addition of one or more other elements or combinations thereof.

[0032] like Figures 1-11 As shown, this utility model provides an independently usable induction cooker warming plate, comprising: module A and several modules B. Module A can be an induction cooker or any device capable of food cooking, and module B can be a warming plate or any device capable of food processing and cooking. The side wall of module A is detachably connected to module B. Module A is equipped with a controller A, and module B is equipped with a controller B. Module A is connected to an external power source via a power cord, and module B is connected to an external power source via a power cord. Module A and module B each have independent power cords connected to an external power source, and each has an independent controller, allowing module A and module B to be used independently. When it is necessary to use module A and module B as a single unit, module B can be connected to module A. The connection method of module A and module B can be one or more combinations of the following:

[0033] Method 1: Module A and Module B are only structurally connected and not electrically connected; Module A and Module B are still connected to the power supply by their respective power lines and are still controlled by their respective controllers. The connection method can be a combination of plug-in, snap-in, sliding, etc.

[0034] Method 2: Module A and Module B are both structurally and electrically connected; Module A and Module B are fixed in position through structural connection, which can be the connection method mentioned in Method 1. Simultaneously, Module A and Module B are also electrically connected, and the following connection methods are derived based on different electrical connection methods:

[0035] Derivative 1: The electrical connection between module A and module B is only the connection of the power supply lines, and the two are connected in parallel; that is, when module A and module B are connected, only the power supply line of module A can be connected to the power source. After the power supply line of module A is connected to the power source, it can supply power to both module A and module B at the same time. Module A and module B are still controlled by their respective controllers, and whether module A is used will not affect the use of module B; the same applies to only connecting the power supply line of module B to the power source.

[0036] Derivative 2: The electrical connection between module A and module B is only the electrical connection of the power supply line, and the two are in series; that is, when module A and module B are connected, only the power supply line of module A can be connected to the power source. After the power supply line of module A is connected to the power source, power can be supplied to module B through module A. Module A and module B are still controlled by their respective controllers. The difference is that whether module A is used will affect the use of module B.

[0037] When module A starts, module B can be used;

[0038] When module A is shut down, module B cannot be used;

[0039] The same applies to connecting only the power cord of module B to the power source;

[0040] Derivative 3: The electrical connection between module A and module B includes not only the power supply lines but also the circuit and signal connections between controller A and controller B. That is, after module A and module B are connected, only the power supply line of module A can be connected to the power source. Once the power supply line of module A is connected to the power source, it can simultaneously supply power to both module A and module B. Furthermore, controller A of module A can control module B. The same principle applies to connecting only the power supply line of module B to the power source.

[0041] Method 3: Module A and Module B are only electrically connected, and there is no structural connection between them; Module A and Module B can be electrically connected by plug-in (or any other connection method that can achieve electrical connection), and can realize the three derivative implementation methods described above as Derivative 1, Derivative 2, and Derivative 3.

[0042] This new invention employs multiple implementation methods, allowing module A and module B to be integrated into a single unit. This enables both simple structural connections and one-to-one or one-to-many circuit control. Furthermore, since the food warming board is available in modular form, the usable area of ​​module B can theoretically increase with the increase of the modular area. Additionally, modules A and B can also be used independently.

[0043] Furthermore, module B is equipped with a built-in power supply, which is electrically connected to controller B, enabling module B to be used without an external power supply.

[0044] To optimize the structure of modules A and B and prevent them from being affected by the environment when used alone due to protruding plugs and other structures, the connection between modules A and B needs to adopt a non-protruding structural design. Therefore, a connection groove A is provided on the side wall of module A, and a connection groove B is provided on the side wall of module B. Sealing connectors 5 are provided on the side walls of modules A and B. The structure, installation position, and installation method of sealing connectors 5 are different depending on the connection method of modules A and B.

[0045] Neither connecting slot A nor connecting slot B is connected to the structure or circuit within the module; this is the first implementation of connecting slot A and connecting slot B.

[0046] Connecting slots A and B are electrically connected to their respective controllers; this is a second implementation of the two connecting slots.

[0047] The first embodiment of the sealing connector 5 is as follows: Figure 5 The sealing cap shown (an additional connector is required to connect the two modules);

[0048] A second embodiment of the sealing connector 5 is a foldable structure;

[0049] When the two modules are used individually, the sealing connector 5 (in the first embodiment and the second embodiment) covers the connecting groove A and the connecting groove B respectively to seal the connecting groove A and the connecting groove B;

[0050] When two modules need to be connected together, the sealing connector 5 (second embodiment) can also be used to connect (including one or a combination of structural connection and electrical connection) the connecting groove A and the connecting groove B.

[0051] In this embodiment, connection slot A is a female connector electrically connected to controller A, and connection slot B is a female connector electrically connected to controller B, such as... Figure 2 , 3 As shown. When module A is connected to module B, connecting groove A is electrically connected to connecting groove B through a sealing connector, and a structural connection is also achieved. We provide a specific embodiment of a second implementation of the sealing connector. It should be noted that this embodiment is only one of the second implementations of the sealing connector. The sealing connector consists of a fixed male end, a movable connector movably connected to the fixed male end, and a movable male end movably connected to the movable connector. The fixed male end is inserted into connecting groove A or connecting groove B.

[0052] When the fixed male end is inserted into the connecting slot A, the fixed male end is electrically connected to the connecting slot A. In addition to being used for electrical connection with the connecting slot A, the fixed male end also acts as a plug. When the module is used alone, the movable male end is in the storage position. At this time, the movable male end is neither electrically connected to the fixed male end nor to the connecting slot B. The sealing connector is used to seal the connecting slot A. When two modules need to be connected, the movable male end is electrically connected to the connecting slot B and also electrically connected to the fixed male end.

[0053] When the fixed male end is inserted into the connecting slot B, the fixed male end is electrically connected to the connecting slot B, and the movable male end is selectively electrically connected to the connecting slot A, which is the same as when it is installed in the connecting slot A.

[0054] The movable male connector consists of a conductive component A, a male connector A, and a rotating component A located at one end of the male connector A. The rotating component A has a rotating shaft A on its side wall. The rotating component A is movably connected to the movable connector through the rotating shaft A. A limit block is provided on the side wall of the rotating shaft A. One end of the conductive component A is located inside the male connector A and is selectively electrically connected to the connecting groove A (or connecting groove B). The other end of the conductive component A passes through and extends to the outside of the rotating component A. When the movable male connector is in the retracted position, the conductive component A is not electrically connected to the connecting groove or the fixed male connector. When the movable male connector is in the insertion position, the conductive component A is electrically connected to both the connecting groove and the fixed male connector.

[0055] The movable connector consists of a rotating component B and a rotating shaft B disposed on the side wall of the rotating component B. The rotating shaft B is arranged normally to the rotating shaft A. Figure 5 As shown, the rotating component B is provided with a movable groove A for accommodating the rotating component A. A shaft groove A is provided on the inner side wall of the movable groove A. The rotation shaft A of the rotating component A is disposed within the shaft groove A. A limiting groove is provided on the side wall of the shaft groove A. A limiting block is located within the limiting groove. When the movable male end is in the retracted position, one side of the limiting block abuts against one side of the limiting groove. When the movable male end is in the insertion position, the other side of the limiting block abuts against the other side of the limiting groove. The conductive component A selectively penetrates and extends beyond the movable groove A through the end of the rotating component A.

[0056] The fixed male connector consists of a conductive element B, a male connector B, and a fixing element 16 disposed at one end of the male connector B. The fixing element 16 has a movable groove B, and a rotating element B is located within the movable groove B. The inner wall of the movable groove B has a rotating shaft groove B, and the rotating shaft B of the rotating element B is disposed within the rotating shaft groove B. The fixing element also has a movable groove C communicating with the rotating shaft groove B. The male connector A can enter the rotating shaft groove B through the movable groove C. One end of the conductive element B is located within the male connector B, and the other end of the conductive element B extends through and into the movable groove B. Figure 5 , 6The arc shape shown increases the contact area between conductive component A and conductive component B when the conductive component A rotates to the insertion position, thus preventing open circuits. When in the insertion position, as... Figure 8 As shown, at this time, the connection slots A and B between the two modules are electrically connected.
