SUMMARY

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to provide an upper cover assembly and a baking appliance to solve the above problems, and the handle of the baking appliance can play a supporting role when the baking appliance is opened, and the structure is simple.

[0005] The utility model discloses an upper cover assembly for a baking appliance, the baking appliance comprises a lower shell assembly and an upper cover assembly rotatably connected with the lower shell assembly, the upper cover assembly comprises: an upper cover, the upper cover is provided with a mounting groove, the mounting groove is located away from one end of the upper cover assembly for rotatably connecting with the lower shell assembly; and a handle rotatably arranged in the mounting groove, the handle comprises a force applying part and a supporting part, one of the mounting groove and the side of the supporting part away from the force applying part is provided with a rotating part, and the other is provided with a matching part matched with the rotating part, the supporting part has a storage state and an unfolded state converted by rotating around the axis of the rotating part, in the storage state, the supporting part is located in the mounting groove, and the force applying part extends obliquely from the supporting part away from the upper cover, in the unfolded state, the lower surface of the supporting part and the upper surface of the upper cover have an included angle.

[0006] In the upper cover assembly, in the storage state, the supporting portion of the handle is located in the mounting groove, so that the supporting portion does not excessively protrude from the upper surface of the upper cover, avoiding increasing the overall thickness of the upper cover assembly, and the force applying portion extends obliquely from the supporting portion in the direction away from the upper cover, so as to facilitate the user to hold the force applying portion; when it is needed to unfold the upper cover assembly from the closed state to the open state, the force applying portion is pulled, so that the handle is first rotated from the storage state to the unfolded state about the axis of the rotating portion, and the force applying portion is continuously pulled, so that the handle can drive the upper cover assembly as a whole to rotate from the closed state to the open state; since in the unfolded state, the lower surface of the supporting portion and the upper surface of the upper cover have an included angle, the handle protrudes from the upper surface of the upper cover, and the end of the force applying portion away from the supporting portion can be supported on an external plane, thereby being able to support the upper cover assembly, so as to ensure the stability and reliability of the upper cover assembly in the open state; and the handle has a simple structure, and the handle and the upper cover are matched in a simple manner, thereby being able to facilitate the processing and assembly of the handle.

[0007] In one of the embodiments, the rotating portion is a rotating shaft arranged on the supporting portion, and the matching portion is a shaft hole arranged on the bottom of the mounting groove.

[0008] In this way, the stability and reliability of the handle during rotation can be ensured, and the rotating shaft and the shaft hole have a simple structure, thereby being more convenient for processing and assembly of the handle.

[0009] In one of the embodiments, the rotating portion is a rotating shaft arranged on the supporting portion, and the matching portion is a matching groove matched with the rotating shaft, the matching groove is located on the back of the bottom of the mounting groove, the bottom of the mounting groove is provided with an avoiding opening, and the avoiding opening and the side wall of the mounting groove away from the force applying portion form an avoiding hole; the upper cover assembly further comprises a pressing plate, and the pressing plate is arranged on the groove opening of the matching groove.

[0010] In this way, the pressing plate can prevent the rotating shaft from being pulled out of the matching groove, and ensure the stability and reliability of the connection between the handle and the upper cover, and the separate arrangement of the pressing plate and the upper cover can also facilitate the disassembly and assembly of the handle; the matching groove arranged on the back of the bottom of the mounting groove can ensure the regular appearance of the upper cover assembly.

[0011] In one of the embodiments, in the unfolded state, the upper surface of the supporting portion is in abutment with the side wall of the mounting groove forming the avoiding hole.

[0012] In this way, the rotating range of the handle relative to the upper cover can be limited, and the stability and reliability of the force applying portion supporting the upper cover assembly can be improved.

[0013] In one of the embodiments, the mounting groove is arranged close to the edge of the upper cover, the side wall of the mounting groove close to the edge is provided with an opening, and the circumferential side of the supporting portion matches the side wall of the mounting groove.

[0014] With this design, the force-applying part is further away from the end where the upper cover assembly and the lower housing assembly are rotatably connected. In the folded state, it is easier for the user to control the upper cover assembly to rotate relative to the lower housing assembly using the handle. In the unfolded state, it makes the force-applying part more stable when supporting the upper cover assembly.

[0015] In one embodiment, in the stowed state, the outer surface of the support portion is substantially flush with the outer surface of the upper cover along the thickness direction of the upper cover.

[0016] This design enhances the aesthetics of the top cover component.

[0017] In one embodiment, the force-applying portion protrudes at least partially from the peripheral or upper edge of the top cover.

[0018] This design allows the user to easily grip and apply force to the force-applying part.

[0019] In one embodiment, in the stowed state, the plane where the force-applying part is located has an included angle β with the upper surface of the cover, satisfying: 10°≤β≤85°.

[0020] This design makes it easier for users to apply force to the force-applying part, and with a fixed length of the force-applying part, the tilted design of the force-applying part can also reduce the dimensions of the upper cover assembly in both the height and length directions.

[0021] In one embodiment, the lower surface of the force-applying part is provided with anti-slip ribs.

[0022] This design increases the friction between the user's hand and the part applying force, preventing slippage when the user controls the upper cover assembly to rotate relative to the lower housing assembly using the handle.

[0023] This utility model also provides a grilling appliance, including: a lower shell assembly; and the aforementioned upper cover assembly, wherein the upper cover assembly is rotatably connected to the lower shell assembly.

[0024] With this configuration, users can control the upper cover assembly to switch between a closed and open state relative to the lower housing assembly via the handle, and in the open state, the force-applying part of the handle can support the upper cover assembly.

[0025] In one embodiment, the lower housing assembly also has a support leg. In the unfolded state, the distance between the upper surface of the upper cover and the plane where the support leg is located is H1, and the height of the handle protruding from the upper cover is H2, which satisfies: H2-H1≥1mm.

[0026] With this configuration, when the support legs and the force-applying part are supported on the external plane, the upper baking tray of the upper cover assembly is tilted downward toward the lower housing assembly, so that the oil on the upper baking tray can flow along the upper baking tray to the lower housing assembly, preventing the oil from flowing to other places and becoming difficult to clean.

[0040] Grilling appliances typically include an upper grilling pan assembly and a lower grilling pan assembly. The upper grilling pan assembly is rotatably connected to the lower grilling pan assembly. By operating the upper grilling pan assembly to rotate relative to the lower grilling pan assembly, a handle is usually provided on the upper grilling pan assembly to facilitate the user's application of force. Currently, the handles on the upper shell of grilling appliances can generally be divided into two types: one is a fixed handle, which is fixed to the upper shell and is located on the top surface of the upper shell along its height or protruding on the side or top surface of the upper shell along its length. This type of fixed handle either does not provide support when the grilling appliance is fully extended, or if it does provide support, it requires a large protrusion from the top surface of the upper shell, increasing the overall size of the grilling appliance and making it inconvenient to store; another type of existing technology is a folding handle, which is usually designed with a complex structure to provide support when the grilling appliance is fully extended, making it difficult to manufacture and assemble.

[0041] To solve the above problems, such as Figures 1 to 9 As shown, this application provides a top cover assembly 100 and a grilling appliance. The handle of the grilling appliance provides support when it is opened, and the structure is simple. The length direction of the grilling appliance is defined as... Figures 1 to 3 The width direction of the grilling utensil is shown in the left-right direction. Figures 1 to 3 The front-to-back direction shown indicates that the height direction of the grilling equipment is... Figures 1 to 3 The up and down directions are shown.

[0042] like Figure 4 and Figure 8 As shown, specifically, the upper cover assembly 100 is used for a grilling appliance. The grilling appliance includes a lower housing assembly 200 and an upper cover assembly 100 rotatably connected to the lower housing assembly 200. The upper cover assembly 100 includes an upper cover 10 and a handle 20, wherein: the upper cover 10 is provided with a mounting groove 11, which is located away from the end of the upper cover assembly 100 that is rotatably connected to the lower housing assembly 200; the handle 20 is rotatably disposed in the mounting groove 11, and the handle 20 includes a force-applying part 21 and a support part 22. One of the mounting groove 11 and the support part 22 is provided with a rotating part 23 on the side away from the force-applying part 21, and the other is provided with a mating part 12 that cooperates with the rotating part 23. The support part 22 has a retracted state and an unfolded state that can be switched by rotating around the axis of the rotating part 23. In the retracted state, the support part 22 is located in the mounting groove 11, and the force-applying part 21 extends obliquely from the support part 22 in the direction away from the upper cover 10. In the unfolded state, there is an angle between the lower surface of the support part 22 and the upper surface of the upper cover 10.

[0043] It should be noted that the upper cover assembly 100 has the following characteristics: Figures 1 to 2 The shown cover state and as Figure 3 As shown in the open state, the user can control the top cover assembly 100 to automatically close along the closing state. Figure 1 The upper cover assembly 100 is rotated clockwise relative to the lower housing assembly 200 to the open state, or controlled to move from the open state along... Figure 1 The upper cover assembly 100 rotates counterclockwise relative to the lower housing assembly 200 to a closed state. In the closed state, the upper cover assembly 100 and the lower housing assembly 200 are approximately at a 0° angle; in the open state, they are approximately at a 180° angle. The user can control the upper cover assembly 100 to rotate to any state within the range of 0° to 180° angle between the upper cover assembly 100 and the lower housing assembly 200. The support portion 22 has, as shown... Figure 1 The storage state shown and as follows Figures 2 to 3 As shown in the unfolded state, the user can control the handle 20 to retract into its retracted state. Figure 1 Rotate the handle 20 clockwise relative to the top cover 10 to the unfolded state, or control the handle 20 to move from the unfolded state along... Figure 1 Rotate counterclockwise relative to the top cover 10 to the storage position. Figure 1 The state shown is as follows: the cover assembly 100 is in the closed state and the support part 22 is in the retracted state. At this time, the upper surface of the cover 10, the upper surface of the force-applying part 21 and the upper surface of the support part 22 are all facing upward, and the lower surface of the cover 10, the lower surface of the force-applying part 21 and the lower surface of the support part 22 are all facing downward.

[0044] In the top cover assembly 100 provided in this embodiment of the utility model, in the retracted state, the support portion 22 of the handle 20 is located within the mounting groove 11, so that the support portion 22 does not protrude excessively from the upper surface of the top cover 10, thus avoiding increasing the overall thickness of the top cover assembly 100. The force-applying portion 21 extends obliquely from the support portion 22 in the direction away from the top cover 10, so as to facilitate the user's grip on the force-applying portion 21. When it is necessary to unfold the top cover assembly 100 from the closed state to the open state, the force-applying portion 21 is pulled up, so that the handle 20 first rotates clockwise from the retracted state around the axis of the rotating portion 23 to the unfolded state, and then... Continue pulling the force-applying part 21, causing the handle 20 to rotate the entire upper cover assembly 100 clockwise from the closed state to the open state. Because there is an angle between the lower surface of the support part 22 and the upper surface of the upper cover 10 in the open state, the handle 20 protrudes from the upper surface of the upper cover 10. The end of the force-applying part 21 away from the support part 22 can be supported on an external plane such as a table or countertop, thus providing support for the upper cover assembly 100 and preventing it from tipping over due to a shift in the center of gravity, ensuring the stability and reliability of the upper cover assembly 100 in the open state. Furthermore, the handle 20 has a simple structure and a simple way of fitting with the upper cover 10, making it easy to process and assemble.

[0045] In one embodiment, the rotating part 23 is a rotating shaft 231 provided on the support part 22, and the mating part 12 is a shaft hole provided on the bottom of the mounting groove 11. The rotating shaft 231 is rotatably provided in the shaft hole. By mating the rotating shaft 231 with the shaft hole, the handle 20 can rotate relative to the upper cover 10 around the axis of the rotating shaft 231, which can ensure the stability and reliability of the handle 20 during rotation. Furthermore, the structure of the rotating shaft 231 and the shaft hole is simple, making it easier to process and assemble the handle 20.

[0046] like Figures 4 to 5As shown in the illustrated embodiment, the rotating part 23 is a rotating shaft 231 provided on the support part 22, and the mating part 12 is a mating groove 121 that mates with the rotating shaft 231. The mating groove 121 is located on the back side of the bottom of the mounting groove 11. The bottom of the mounting groove 11 is provided with a clearance opening 111, which forms a clearance hole 13 with the side wall of the mounting groove 11 away from the force-applying part 21. The upper cover assembly 100 also includes a pressure plate 30, which covers the opening of the mating groove 121. When assembling the handle 20, the rotating shaft 231 is first passed through the clearance hole 13 and mates with the mating groove 121 on the back side of the bottom of the mounting groove 11, and then the pressure plate 30 is placed on the opening of the mating groove 121. The pressure plate 30 can prevent the rotating shaft 231 from coming out of the mating groove 121, ensuring the stability and reliability of the connection between the handle 20 and the upper cover 10. Furthermore, the separate arrangement of the pressure plate 30 and the upper cover 10 also facilitates the disassembly and assembly of the handle 20. The mating groove 121, located on the back side of the bottom of the mounting groove 11, prevents the rotating shaft 231, the mating groove 121, and the pressure plate 30 from being exposed, thus ensuring the neat appearance of the top cover assembly 100. Specifically, the mating groove 121 is located on both sides of the clearance opening 111. The two ends of the rotating shaft 231 respectively mate with the mating grooves 121 on both sides. There are also two pressure plates 30, which cover the openings of the mating grooves 121 on both sides. The side of the pressure plate 30 facing the mating groove 121 may have an arc-shaped groove 31, which forms a shaft hole with the mating groove 121. The pressure plate 30 can be fixedly connected to the back side of the bottom of the mounting groove 11 by screws, snap-fit, or other means. Furthermore, since the rotating shaft 231 needs to pass through the clearance hole 13 and extend to the back side of the bottom of the mounting groove 11, the rotating shaft 231 and the support part 22 can be connected by the connecting part 25.

[0047] Of course, in other embodiments, the rotating part 23 may be a shaft hole provided on both sides of the support part 22, and the mating part 12 may be a rotating shaft 231 provided on both sides of the mounting groove 11. The rotating shaft 231 is rotatably provided in the shaft hole so that the handle 20 can rotate relative to the upper cover 10 about the axis of the rotating part 23.

[0048] like Figures 5 to 6 As shown, in the unfolded state, the upper surface of the support 22 abuts against the side wall of the mounting groove 11 forming the clearance hole 13. This limits the range of rotation of the handle 20 relative to the top cover 10, preventing the handle 20 from continuing to rotate clockwise relative to the top cover 10 around the axis of the pivot 231 in the unfolded state. This improves the stability and reliability of the force-applying part 21 when supporting the top cover assembly 100, and prevents the top cover assembly 100 from tipping over due to excessive rotation angle of the handle 20.

[0049] like Figure 6As shown, in one embodiment, the mounting groove 11 is located near the edge of the upper cover 10, and the side wall of the mounting groove 11 near the edge has an opening. The periphery of the support part 22 cooperates with the side wall of the mounting groove 11. The opening on the side wall of the mounting groove 11 near the edge means that the side wall of the mounting groove 11 furthest from the rotatable connection between the upper cover assembly 100 and the lower housing assembly 200 has an opening, which facilitates the user's grip on the force-applying part 21. The cooperation of the periphery of the support part 22 with the side wall of the mounting groove 11 prevents the bottom wall of the mounting groove 11 from being exposed, thereby improving the aesthetics of the upper cover assembly 100. Furthermore, since the force-applying part 21 is further away from the rotatable connection between the upper cover assembly 100 and the lower housing assembly 200, it is easier for the user to rotate the upper cover assembly 100 relative to the lower housing assembly 200 using the handle 20 when it is in the folded state; and it provides greater stability when the force-applying part 21 supports the upper cover assembly 100 when it is unfolded. Of course, in other embodiments, the mounting groove 11 can also be located away from the edge of the upper cover 10, that is, the mounting groove 11 does not have an opening. Along the length direction of the upper cover assembly 100, the half of the upper cover 10 near the end where the upper cover assembly 100 and the lower housing assembly 200 are rotatably connected is defined as the first region, and the half of the upper cover 10 away from the end where the upper cover assembly 100 and the lower housing assembly 200 are rotatably connected is defined as the second region, and the mounting groove 11 is located in the second region.

[0050] like Figure 1 and Figure 9 As shown, in one embodiment, in the folded state, the outer surface of the support portion 22 is substantially flush with the outer surface of the upper cover 10 along the thickness direction of the upper cover 10. This improves the aesthetics of the upper cover assembly 100. It is worth noting that the flushness of the upper surface of the support portion 22 with the upper surface of the upper cover 10 can be understood as the upper surface of the support portion 22 and the upper surface of the upper cover 10 forming a similar surface overall, ignoring the effects of assembly errors or gaps. Of course, in other embodiments, the support portion 22 may also be partially located within the mounting groove 11, i.e., the upper surface of the support portion 22 is slightly higher than the upper surface of the upper cover 10; or, the upper surface of the support portion 22 may be slightly lower than the upper surface of the upper cover 10.

[0051] like Figure 1 As shown, the force-applying part 21 at least partially protrudes from the peripheral or upper edge of the upper cover 10. This facilitates the user's grip on the force-applying part 21 and the application of force to it.

[0052] like Figure 1As shown, in the folded state, the plane of the force-applying part 21 and the upper surface of the cover 10 form an angle β, satisfying: 10°≤β≤85°. That is, the angle between the upper surface of the force-applying part 21 and the upper surface of the support part 22 is an obtuse angle. The angle β can be any angle within the range of 10° to 85°, such as 10°, 20°, or 30°. This allows the user to easily apply force to the force-applying part 21, enabling the handle 20 to rotate clockwise. Furthermore, given a fixed length of the force-applying part 21, its tilted arrangement reduces the dimensions of the cover assembly 100 in both the height and length directions, preventing an increase in the overall volume of the cover assembly 100. Preferably, the angle β satisfies: 20°≤β≤60°, and is optimal when the angle β is 35°.

[0053] like Figures 6 to 8 As shown, anti-slip ribs 24 are provided on the lower surface of the force-applying part 21. The anti-slip ribs 24 can increase the friction between the user's hand and the force-applying part 21, preventing slippage when the user controls the upper cover assembly 100 to rotate relative to the lower housing assembly 200 through the handle 20. Specifically, the anti-slip ribs 24 can be set as multiple straight ribs or wavy ribs, or multiple protrusions; of course, the anti-slip ribs 24 can also be a groove structure provided on the lower surface of the force-applying part 21, as long as it can increase the friction between the user's hand and the force-applying part 21, the present invention does not make specific limitations here.

[0054] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, this embodiment of the invention also provides a grilling appliance, including a lower housing assembly 200 and the aforementioned upper cover assembly 100, wherein the upper cover assembly 100 is rotatably connected to the lower housing assembly 200. The user can control the upper cover assembly 100 relative to the lower housing assembly 200 using the handle 20. Figure 1 The shown cover state and Figure 3 The handle 20 switches between open and closed states, and in the open state, the force-applying part 21 of the handle 20 can support the cover assembly 100.

[0055] like Figure 3As shown, the lower housing assembly 200 also has a support leg 201. In the unfolded state, the distance between the upper surface of the upper cover 10 and the plane where the support leg 201 is located is H1, and the height of the handle 20 protruding from the upper cover 10 is H2, which satisfies: H2-H1≥1mm. Here, H2-H1 can be any size greater than or equal to 1mm, such as 1mm, 2mm, or 3mm. The upper cover assembly 100 also includes an upper baking tray 40 disposed on the lower surface of the upper cover 10. When the support leg 201 and the force-applying part 21 are jointly supported on an external plane such as a tabletop or countertop, the end of the upper baking tray 40 furthest from the upper cover assembly 100 and rotatably connected to the lower housing assembly 200 is higher than the end of the upper baking tray 40 closest to the upper cover assembly 100 and rotatably connected to the lower housing assembly 200. The upper baking tray 40 is tilted downwards towards the lower housing assembly 200, allowing the oil on the upper baking tray 40 to flow along the upper baking tray 40 to the lower housing assembly 200, preventing the oil from flowing to other places and becoming difficult to clean.

[0056] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined in any way. For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

[0057] The embodiments described above are merely illustrative of several implementations of this utility model, and while the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the utility model patent. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this utility model, and these all fall within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model patent should be determined by the appended claims.
