Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a handle for an electric griddle, and more particularly to a rotating support structure for the handle of an electric griddle. Background Technology

[0002] A commercial electric griddle is a kitchen appliance specifically designed for commercial environments such as restaurants, canteens, and fast food outlets. It is primarily used for making various types of pancakes, flatbreads, and pies. Commercial electric griddles are a common piece of equipment in commercial kitchens, improving the efficiency and quality of food preparation and meeting the demands of commercial kitchens for high-efficiency, high-volume production.

[0003] Commercial electric griddles require a flip-top operation, which involves turning the handle to flip the lid open. However, existing electric griddle handles lack a limiting support structure, requiring manual operation to continuously hold the handle to keep the lid open, which is inconvenient. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a handle rotation support structure for an electric griddle, which can limit and support the handle, allowing it to be suspended, thereby assisting in opening the lid.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows: a handle rotation support structure for an electric griddle is provided, including a griddle base, a support block fixedly connected to the upper surface of the griddle base, a handle rotatably connected to the inside of the support block, a ratchet fixedly connected to the outer wall of the handle, a fixing plate fixedly connected to the outer wall of the support block, a connecting shaft slidably connected to the inside of the fixing plate, a pawl fixedly connected to the outer wall of the connecting shaft, a sliding groove opened inside the support block, the pawl slidably connected inside the sliding groove, and the pawl meshing with the ratchet.

[0006] Optionally, a spring is sleeved on the outer wall of the connecting shaft, one end of the spring is fixedly connected to the inside of the fixing plate, and the other end of the spring is fixedly connected to the inside of the pawl.

[0007] Optionally, a griddle body is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the griddle stand, a lid is movably connected to the upper surface of the griddle body, and a support base is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the lid. Two support bases are provided and are located on both sides of the upper surface of the lid.

[0008] Optionally, a sliding pin is slidably connected inside the support base, the sliding pin is slidably connected inside the handle, and a spring is sleeved on the outer wall of the sliding pin.

[0009] Optionally, one end of the second spring is fixedly connected to the inside of the first sliding pin, and the other end of the second spring is fixedly connected to the inside of the support base, with the second sliding pin slidably connected inside the support base.

[0010] Optionally, the second sliding pin is slidably connected inside the handle, and the outer wall of the second sliding pin is fitted with a third spring. One end of the third spring is fixedly connected inside the support base, and the other end of the third spring is fixedly connected inside the second sliding pin.

[0011] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0012] 1. When using this utility model, the ratchet is driven to rotate by rotating the handle. During the rotation of the ratchet, it is limited by the pawl. The pawl limits the ratchet and prevents the handle from reversing during rotation. At the same time, it can make the handle stop. Pulling the connecting shaft causes the pawl to slide inside the slide groove, so that the pawl disengages from the inside of the ratchet and the handle can be rotated in the opposite direction.

[0013] 2. This utility model limits the position of the handle by locking the first and second sliding pins inside the handle, and supports the handle by using the support base in conjunction with the first and second sliding pins. At the same time, the handle can be easily separated from the cover by pulling the first and second sliding pins outward. Attached Figure Description

[0024] The present invention provides a description of a handle rotation support structure for an electric griddle. The handle rotation support structure includes a griddle base 1, a support block 2 fixedly connected to the upper surface of the griddle base 1, a handle 3 rotatably connected inside the support block 2, the handle 3 being limited to rotation within the support block 2, a ratchet 4 fixedly connected to the outer wall of the handle 3, a fixing plate 5 fixedly connected to the outer wall of the support block 2, a connecting shaft 6 slidably connected inside the fixing plate 5, and a pawl 7 fixedly connected to the outer wall of the connecting shaft 6. A sliding groove 8 is provided inside the support block 2, and the pawl 7 is slidably connected inside the sliding groove 8. The pawl 7 meshes with the ratchet 4, limiting the ratchet 4 and supporting the handle 3, preventing it from rotating in the opposite direction and falling. A spring 9 is sleeved on the outer wall of the connecting shaft 6, one end of the spring 9 fixedly connected to the inside of the fixing plate 5, and the other end fixedly connected to the inside of the pawl 7. The spring 9 supports the pawl 7 and provides automatic reset.

[0025] The present invention provides a rotating support structure for the handle 3 of an electric griddle, which, compared with the prior art, achieves limiting support for the handle 3, allowing the handle 3 to be suspended during rotation.

[0026] Please refer to another embodiment of this utility model as well. Figures 1 to 4 A griddle body 10 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the griddle base 1. A lid 11 is movably connected to the upper surface of the griddle body 10. A support base 12 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the lid 11. Two support bases 12 are provided, which support the two sides of the handle 3 respectively. The support bases 12 are located on both sides of the upper surface of the lid 11. A sliding pin 13 is slidably connected inside the support base 12. The sliding pin 13 is slidably connected inside the handle 3 and is limited and locked inside the handle 3. Spring 2 14 is sleeved on the outer wall. One end of spring 2 14 is fixedly connected to the inside of sliding pin 13, and the other end of spring 2 14 is fixedly connected to the inside of support base 12. Sliding pin 2 15 is slidably connected inside support base 12. Sliding pin 2 15 is slidably connected to the inside of handle 3 and is limited and locked inside handle 3 by sliding pin 2 15. Spring 3 16 is sleeved on the outer wall of sliding pin 2 15. One end of spring 3 16 is fixedly connected to the inside of support base 12, and the other end of spring 3 16 is fixedly connected to the inside of sliding pin 2 15.

[0027] Working principle: In use, rotate handle 3 to a horizontal position, placing it between the two sets of support seats 12. Pull outwards the two sets of sliding pins 13 and 15. After being pulled, sliding pins 13 and 15 compress springs 24 and 36, aligning them with the inside of handle 3. Then release them, causing springs 24 and 36 to automatically reset, engaging sliding pins 13 and 15 into the handle 3, providing limiting support and simultaneously connecting handle 3 and cover 11. Lifting handle 3 upwards causes cover 11 to flip. During rotation, handle 3 drives ratchet 4. Because ratchet 4 is limited by pawl 7 during rotation, handle 3 can only rotate in one direction. When handle 3 is rotated to a certain angle and then released, the pawl 7, which is engaged inside the ratchet 4, prevents handle 3 from falling. The pawl 7 supports and limits the ratchet 4, thus preventing handle 3 from rotating in the opposite direction and falling, and also allowing handle 3 to be suspended, thereby allowing the lid 11 to be suspended in the air. When it is necessary to rotate handle 3 to move the lid 11 to cover the upper surface of the pancake pan body 10, pull the connecting shaft 6 to move the pawl 7 to slide to the left inside the slide groove 8, so that the pawl 7 is disengaged from the ratchet 4. At this time, handle 3 can be rotated to adjust downwards and move the lid 11 to cover the upper surface of the pancake pan body 10. After releasing the connecting shaft 6, the elasticity of spring 9 causes the pawl 7 to reset and engage inside the ratchet 4, continuing to provide limiting support for the ratchet 4 and handle 3.

[0028] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
