[0026] Example 1
[0027] like Figures 1-8 As shown in the figure, the folding barbecue grill proposed in this embodiment includes a folding rack, a grilling net 6 and a charcoal plate 7.
[0028] The folding rack comprises a front panel 1, a placement panel 3, a rear panel 2, and a bracket 4, all hinged in a closed ring. The front panel 1 and rear panel 2 are parallel, with the front panel 1 shorter than the rear panel 2. The placement panel 3 and bracket 4 are also parallel. When the folding rack is unfolded, it is supported by the bottom of the front panel 1 and the bottom of the rear panel 2. Both ends of the bottom of the front panel 1 and the rear panel 2 have L-shaped support legs, providing stable support when the rack is fully unfolded. The rear panel 2 protrudes upwards, blocking the outside of the grill rack 6 and preventing wind from blowing towards the user, thus improving comfort during grilling. When the folding rack is folded, the rear panel 2 covers the front panel 1, effectively reducing the overall size of the rack and facilitating storage.
[0029] The front panel 1 has a notch 101 and is detachably connected to a baffle 8 that can seal the notch 101, with the baffle 8 keeping the carbon plate 7 inside. Two brackets 4 are arranged side by side, each with a placement slot 401. The grill rack 6 includes multiple metal strips distributed parallel in the front-to-back direction and parallel in the left-to-right direction, which are connected to form a mesh. The grill rack 6 is preferably made of stainless steel. The grill rack 6 is placed in the opposite placement slots 401 of the two brackets 4, allowing for relatively stable placement.
[0030] After the baffle 8 is removed, the charcoal plate 7 is placed onto or removed from the placement plate 3 through the notch 101. The charcoal plate 7 has multiple ash-draining holes 701 arranged in an array, forming an ash-collecting space between the charcoal plate 7 and the placement plate 3. The ash produced when the charcoal on the charcoal plate 7 burns can fall into the ash-collecting space through the ash-draining holes 701. The user can then shake the charcoal to dislodge the ash onto the placement plate 3, allowing the charcoal remaining on the charcoal plate 7 to burn more effectively. Since the charcoal burns on the charcoal plate 7, not on the placement plate 3, the ash will not burn the placement plate 3. The ash accumulated on the placement plate 3 is easy to clean. After removing the baffle 8, the charcoal plate 7 can be pulled out, the accumulated ash on the placement plate 3 can be cleaned, and then the charcoal plate 7 can be placed back in. The baffle 8 can then be installed on the front plate 1 to seal the notch 101. The baffle 8 can insulate against heat, preventing sparks from the burning charcoal on the inside from escaping and thus preventing injury to the user.
[0031] The front panel 1, the placement plate 3, the rear panel 2, and the bracket 4 are hinged together by rivets. Specifically, the front panel 1 and the bracket 4 are hinged by a first rivet 91, the rear panel 2 and the bracket 4 are hinged by a first rivet 91, the front panel 1 and the placement plate 3 are hinged by a second rivet 92, and the rear panel 2 and the placement plate 3 are hinged by a second rivet 92. In the unfolded state of the folding rack, the second rivet 92 is lower than the height of the first rivet 91. The second rivet 92 is fixed to the placement plate 3 and has a support portion 921 with a flat top surface. Two first rivets 91 and two second rivets 92 are used on one side of the barbecue grill, and the same applies to the other side. The hinge positions of the two first rivets 91 and two second rivets 92 on each side are arranged in a parallelogram.
[0032] The bracket 4 has a clearance notch 402 that avoids the second rivet 92 at the hinge point of the front plate 1 and the placement plate 3. When the folding frame is folded to its limit, the clearance notch 402 rests on the platform at the top of the support 921, and the support 921 supports the bracket 4. If the clearance notch 402 is not designed, interference will occur between the bracket 4 and the second rivet 92.
[0033] When the folding frame is unfolded, the handle 5 is located at the top of the back panel 2. Pulling the handle 5 towards the user's side will fold the back panel 2 towards the front panel 1. When the folding frame is folded, the grill rack 6 and the charcoal plate 7 are both located inside the folding frame. Pulling the handle 5 upwards will unfold the back panel 2 upwards, thus unfolding the entire folding frame.
[0034] In this embodiment, when unfolded for use, the charcoal plate 7 can be pulled out after removing the side baffle 8. This facilitates adding charcoal to the charcoal plate 7 and cleaning up any burnt charcoal. The ash on the charcoal plate 7 can also be shaken off through the ash drain hole 701 and collected on the placement plate 3 for easy cleaning, ensuring the efficient burning of the charcoal remaining on the charcoal plate 7. Adding and cleaning charcoal and ash does not require first removing the grill rack 6 upwards, thus not affecting the food on the grill rack 6. When not in use, the grill rack can be folded up to reduce its size and make it easy to carry.
[0035] Example 2
[0036] like Figures 1-6 As shown, this embodiment proposes a folding barbecue grill. Compared with the first embodiment, in this embodiment, the placement groove 401 is an arc-shaped groove, and multiple grooves are arranged side by side on the bracket 4. The end of the grill rack 6 has an extension strip that is inserted into the placement groove 401. The entire grill rack 6 can be placed on the bracket 4 or removed from the bracket 4 through the extension strip, which is very convenient.
[0037] Example 3
[0038] like Figures 1-6 As shown, this embodiment proposes a folding barbecue grill. Compared to Embodiment 1, in this embodiment, the placement plate 3 is a U-shaped plate with ventilation holes 301 on both sides. Air can circulate through the ventilation holes 301 and the ash leakage holes 701 on the charcoal plate 7, ensuring that the barbecue charcoal on the charcoal plate 7 burns completely. The inner sides of both ends of the top of the placement plate 3 have recessed stepped plate portions 302, which support the charcoal plate 7 placed above. The charcoal plate 7 is placed at the stepped plate portions 302 at both ends of the top of the placement plate 3, with the two stepped plate portions 302 defining the placement position and forming an ash collection space between the bottom of the charcoal plate 7 and the upper middle part of the placement plate 3. The end of the charcoal plate 7 facing the user has a downwardly bent edge to limit the position of the charcoal plate 7 extending into the folding rack and placed on the placement plate 3.
[0039] This embodiment features detailed design of the placement plate 3 and carbon plate 7 to enhance ease of use.
[0040] Example 4
[0041] like Figures 1-6As shown in this embodiment, a folding barbecue grill is proposed. Compared with Embodiment 1, in this embodiment, the front panel 1 has fastening assemblies on both sides. The fastening assemblies include a hinge seat 10 on the front panel 1, a rotating handle 11 rotatably mounted on the hinge seat 10 at one end, and a fastening rod 12 rotatably connected to the rotating handle 11. The rotatable connection between the fastening rod 12 and the rotating handle 11 is located between the two ends of the rotating handle 11. Both ends of the baffle 8 are provided with fastening plates 81, which have fastening grooves for the fastening rods 12 to pull. When it is necessary to use the baffle 8 to block the notch 101, first align the baffle 8 and insert it into the notch 101, then hook the two fastening rods 12 on both sides into the fastening grooves of the fastening plates 81, and then rotate the rotating handle 11 inward, thereby using the fastening rods 12 to hook the fastening plates 81 tightly, thus realizing the installation of the baffle 8. During disassembly, the two sets of latching components on both sides need to be opened, and then the baffle 8 needs to be removed. After the baffle 8 is removed, the notch 101 is fully exposed, making it easy to put in and take out the carbon plate 7.
[0042] The embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present invention is not limited thereto. Various changes can be made within the scope of knowledge possessed by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit of the present invention.
