[0022] In one embodiment of this utility model, reference is made to Figures 1-2As shown, a toaster with a front-driven pressure lever is provided, including a base 100, a toasting seat 200, and a lifting mechanism 300. The toasting seat 200 is mounted on the base 100 and has a toasting cavity 210 for toasting bread slices. An opening 220 for bread slices to pass through is located at the top of the toasting seat 200, and a clearance groove 230 is provided on the side of the toasting seat 200, communicating with the toasting cavity 210. The lifting mechanism 300 is connected to the base 100, and one side of the lifting mechanism 300 passes through the clearance groove 230 and is positioned within the toasting cavity 210 to control the lifting and lowering of the bread slices. The lifting mechanism 300 includes a drive member 310, a connecting rod 320, a slider 330, and a support plate 340. The baking base 200 is equipped with a slide rail 240, which is located on one side of the clearance groove 230 and parallel to it. The slider 330 is slidably mounted on the slide rail 240. One end of the support plate 340 is connected to the slider 330, and the other end passes through the clearance groove 230 and is located inside the baking cavity 210. The drive member 310 is rotatably mounted on the base 100 and located on the front of the baking base 200. One end of the connecting rod 320 is fixedly connected to the drive member 310, and the other end of the connecting rod 320 is combined with the slider 330. Rotating the drive member 310 is used to drive the slider 330 to rise or fall. In this embodiment, by rotating the drive member 310, the drive member 310 drives the connecting rod 320 to move, causing the connecting rod 320 to drive the slider 330 to move up or down on the slide rail 240, thereby driving the support plate 340 to move up or down within the baking cavity 210. When bread needs to be baked, the bread slices are placed on the support plate 340, and the drive member 310 is rotated to move the support plate 340 downward, moving the bread slices into the baking cavity 210 for baking. Subsequently, the baking seat 200 bakes the bread slices. After the bread slices have finished baking, the drive member 310 is rotated again to move the support plate 340 upward, moving the baked bread slices outside the baking seat 200 for easy removal. The toaster with a front-driven pressure rod provided by this utility model has the drive end of the lifting mechanism 300 and the operation button for controlling the baking seat 200 on the front. In this way, the operator can easily find the control button for the required function without having to search for complicated devices on the side. This design not only improves operational efficiency but also makes the toaster's overall appearance simpler, more practical, and more rationally designed.

[0023] More specifically, see reference Figures 1-2 As shown, when the baking rack 200 reaches the set baking time, the slider 330 automatically returns to the top and pops up the bread slice.

[0024] Specifically, refer to Figures 1-2As shown, the lifting mechanism 300 also includes a transmission rod 350, one end of which is connected to the driving member 310, and the other end is connected to the connecting rod 320. In this embodiment, the transmission rod 350 connects the driving member 310 and the connecting rod 320, which allows the driving member 310 to be located at the center of the baking base 200, making it more convenient for consumers to move the driving member 310.

[0025] Specifically, refer to Figures 1-2 As shown, the lifting mechanism 300 also includes a handle 360. One end of the handle 360 ​​extends to the drive member 310, and the other end of the handle 360 ​​extends outward from the drive member 310. The handle 360 ​​is used to drive the drive member 310 to rotate. In this embodiment, the drive member 310 is driven by the handle 360, making the process of driving the drive member 310 more effortless.

[0026] Specifically, refer to Figures 1-2 As shown, a protective cover 400 is also included. The protective cover 400 is mounted on the base 100 and surrounds the side of the baking rack 200, also enclosing the lifting mechanism 300. The protective cover 400 is also provided with a guide groove 410, through which the handle 360 ​​extends to the outside of the protective cover 400. In this embodiment, the protective cover protects the lifting mechanism 300, preventing foreign objects from entering the lifting mechanism 300 and affecting its operation, and also preventing consumers from touching the baking rack 200 and causing burns.

[0027] Specifically, refer to Figures 1-2 As shown, a roller 370 is provided at the connection end of the connecting rod 320 and the slider 330, and the roller 370 is rotatably connected to one end of the connecting rod 320.

The roller 370 is slidably disposed in the mounting groove 333. In this embodiment, when the driving member 310 rotates, the connecting rod 320 swings. The through hole 331 of the slider 330 cooperates with the slide rail 240 so that the slider 330 can only move along the slide rail 240. Therefore, when the connecting rod 320 swings, the roller 370 slides in the mounting groove 333 and at the same time abuts against the mounting plate 332 to drive the slider 330 to move along the slide rail 240.

[0028] Specifically, refer to Figures 1-2 As shown, one end of the mounting plate 332 is also provided with a baffle 334. One side of the baffle 334 covers and presses against the upper end of the mounting groove 333. The roller 370 is disposed between the mounting plate 332 and the baffle 334, and is disposed within the mounting groove 333. In this embodiment, the baffle 334 is used to limit the roller 370 to prevent the roller 370 from sliding out of the mounting groove 333.

[0029] Specifically, refer to Figures 1-2 As shown, trays 341 extend upward from both sides of the support plate 340. In this embodiment, the trays 341 are used to hold the bread slices.

[0030] Specifically, refer to Figures 1-2 As shown, the baking cavity 210 is equipped with several protective nets 211, each of which is located on both sides of the support plate 340. In this embodiment, the protective nets 211 prevent the bread slices from directly contacting the side wall of the baking tray 200, thus preventing the bread from burning.

[0031] 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.
