Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of kitchen appliance technology, and in particular to a grill. Background Technology

[0002] A grill (also called a griddle) is a kitchen appliance used for grilling food. Grills typically include products such as barbecue grills, sandwich makers, teppanyaki grills, and electric griddles. A grill includes a base assembly, a top cover assembly, and a hinge assembly. The top cover assembly is rotatably connected to the base assembly via the hinge assembly. The hinge assembly has a wire passage for wires to pass through. An external power supply is connected to the grill from the base assembly. Control components such as the circuit board are located within the base assembly. Wires from the base assembly are connected to electrical components within the top cover assembly via the wire passage in the hinge assembly. This grill structure is disclosed in Chinese Utility Model Patent Application No. CN202123436902.4 (Authorization Announcement No.: CN217137674U). However, this type of grill still has some shortcomings. Due to the presence of the wire at the rotating connection between the base and the top cover, the grill cannot be washed in a simple way. It requires more time to go around the wire for cleaning. For example, you can only use a small amount of damp cloth to wipe it, and you have to pay attention to the position of the wire at all times, which greatly reduces the cleaning efficiency.

[0003] Therefore, the applicant's earlier Chinese invention patent application CN202510058824.2 (application publication number: CN119453794A) discloses a grill, which includes: a grill body, comprising a base portion and a top cover portion, and a temperature-sensing and power-conducting assembly detachably connected to the grill body; the temperature-sensing and power-conducting assembly includes a first temperature-sensing module for connection to the base portion and a second temperature-sensing module for connection to the top cover portion, the second temperature-sensing module and the top cover portion being able to flip up and down relative to the first temperature-sensing module and the base portion. When the grill needs to be cleaned, the temperature-sensing and power-conducting assembly can be detached from the grill body. In this way, the grill body can be cleaned in a simple and direct way, such as directly immersing the top cover portion and the base portion in water or rinsing with plenty of water, without worrying about water entering the electrical components, effectively improving the user experience.

[0004] However, in actual use, the above-mentioned grill still has some shortcomings. Since the two temperature sensing modules of the temperature sensing and power-conducting component are connected together by rotating around their respective axes, and the base and top cover of the grill are also connected together by rotating around their respective axes, in order to avoid interference and jamming during rotation, the rotation axes of the two temperature sensing modules of the temperature sensing and power-conducting component must be as straight as possible with the rotation axes of the base and top cover. This places high demands on the manufacturing precision of the temperature sensing and power-conducting component of the grill, increasing production costs. In particular, during use, users may experience jamming during rotation, which can damage or deform the corresponding electrical terminals of the temperature sensing and power-conducting component, greatly reducing its service life. Utility Model Content

[0005] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a grill that can effectively reduce production costs and is less prone to rotation jamming, in light of the current state of the technology.

[0006] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve the above-mentioned technical problems is: a grilling appliance, comprising:

[0007] The grill body includes a first grill body and a second grill body. The second grill body is rotatably connected to the first grill body via a rotating connector and can be flipped up and down relative to the first grill body. The first grill body includes a first grill pan and a first heating element for heating the first grill pan. The second grill body includes a second grill pan and a second heating element for heating the second grill pan.

[0008] The temperature-sensing and power-conducting component includes a first temperature-sensing module for powering and sensing the first grilling body and a second temperature-sensing module for powering and sensing the second grilling body. The first temperature-sensing module and the second temperature-sensing module are electrically connected. The first temperature-sensing module is detachably connected to the first grilling body, and the second temperature-sensing module is detachably connected to the second grilling body.

[0009] The first temperature sensing module and the second temperature sensing module are connected by a flexible connecting member. The flexible connecting member is configured such that the second temperature sensing module can rotate up and down relative to the first temperature sensing module and the second grilling body, and one of the second temperature sensing module and the first temperature sensing module can also twist relative to the other when it is detached from the corresponding first grilling body or second grilling body.

[0010] The phrase "one of the second temperature sensing module and the first temperature sensing module can also be twisted relative to the other" can be understood as the shear deformation motion of the flexible connecting member used to connect the first temperature sensing module and the second temperature sensing module under the action of torque (under the action of external force) around the axis (also the straight line where the length direction of the flexible connecting member is located). During this motion, the adjacent cross sections (the cross sections perpendicular to the length direction of the flexible connecting member) of the flexible connecting member will generate relative angular displacement.

[0011] To achieve electrical connection between the first temperature sensing module and the second temperature sensing module, the flexible connecting member includes a flexible connector and conductive wires attached to the flexible connector. The first temperature sensing module and the second temperature sensing module are electrically connected via the aforementioned conductive wires. The "flexible connector" can be a spring, a rubber coupling, a flexible shaft, or a connector made of composite material. "Conductive wires attached to the flexible connector" can mean that the wires are disposed inside the flexible connector (e.g., integrally formed), or that they are attached to the surface of the flexible connector by means of adhesion or other methods.

[0012] To improve the protection of the conductive wire and extend the service life of the flexible connection component, a preferred embodiment is as follows: the flexible connection component includes a protective spring, the two ends of which are respectively connected to the first temperature sensing module and the second temperature sensing module, and the conductive wire is disposed inside the protective spring.

[0013] To prevent the conductive wire from directly contacting the protective spring, an insulating sleeve that can be bent along with the protective spring is installed inside the protective spring, and the conductive wire is located inside the insulating sleeve. The insulating sleeve can generally be made of plastic or rubber, etc. Of course, when the protective spring itself has an insulating layer, the insulating sleeve can be omitted.

[0014] As another preferred embodiment, the flexible connector includes an insulating sheath, and the conductive wire is disposed within the insulating sheath. The conductive wire can be a simple metal conductor or a type of conductor with an inner sheath.

[0015] Specifically, the flexible connecting member is an insulated interconnecting wire, the outer insulation layer of which forms the insulating sheath, and the internal electrical core of which forms the conductive wire. To adapt to different usage environments, the cross-section of the insulating sheath is circular, elliptical, or flat.

[0016] As an improvement, the first temperature sensing module includes a first temperature sensing base and a first temperature sensing rod disposed on the first temperature sensing base. The first temperature sensing base is also provided with a first electrical terminal. The first grilling body has a first socket for inserting the first temperature sensing rod into the interior of the first grilling body for temperature sensing and a third electrical terminal for connecting to the first electrical terminal.

[0017] The second temperature sensing module includes a second temperature sensing base and a second temperature sensing rod disposed on the second temperature sensing base. The second temperature sensing base is also provided with a second electrical terminal. The second grilling body has a second socket for inserting the second temperature sensing rod into the interior of the second grilling body for temperature sensing and a fourth electrical terminal for connecting to the second electrical terminal.

[0018] The aforementioned flexible connecting member is connected between the first temperature sensing seat and the second temperature sensing seat.

[0019] As an improvement, at least one of the first temperature sensing base and the second temperature sensing base is provided with a control module, and the first temperature sensing rod, the second temperature sensing rod, the first power terminal and the second power terminal are all electrically connected to the control module.

[0020] One of the first and second temperature sensing modules is provided with a power connection for connecting to an external power source, or both the first and second temperature sensing modules are provided with a power connection for connecting to an external power source and share the same power connection. Configuring a control module on the first or second temperature sensing base allows electrical components to be concentrated on the temperature-sensing and power-conducting assembly, making the cleaning process of the grill body more convenient and easier. To facilitate user control of the grill's functions, at least one of the first and second temperature sensing bases is provided with a button operation section for function selection. The button operation section can adopt one of the following: a mechanical knob operation structure, a touch button operation structure, or a sliding operation structure. Function selection or control can include cooking mode selection, temperature adjustment, timer operation, etc.

[0021] As an improvement, the second grilling body further includes a second support for placing the second grilling pan, and the first grilling body further includes a first support for placing the first grilling pan. The first heating element is disposed on the first support, the first grilling pan is detachably placed on the first support, the second heating element is disposed on the second support, and the second grilling pan is detachably placed on the second support; or

[0022] The second grilling body also includes a second support for mounting the second grilling pan, and the first grilling body also includes a first support for mounting the first grilling pan. The first heating element is integrally designed on the back of the first grilling pan, and the first grilling pan is fixedly connected to the first support. The second heating element is integrally designed on the back of the second grilling pan, and the second grilling pan is fixedly connected to the second support. Integrating the heating element on the back of the grilling pan ensures close contact between the heating element and the grilling pan, resulting in a short heat conduction path and minimal heat loss, thus allowing heat to be directly transferred to the grilling pan.

[0023] The "first support member" and "second support member" mentioned above in this utility model can be a conventional cover or shell structure with a continuously extending wall, or a support structure with partial hollowing or a support structure with support legs.

[0024] Existing grills often have relatively complex hinge structures due to the presence of wiring between the second and first grilling bodies, limiting the opening angle of the second grilling body. In conventional grills, the opening angle of the second grilling body relative to the first grilling body is typically around 105 degrees. However, in this invention, since the electrical components and wiring are housed on the temperature-sensing and power-conducting assembly, the rotational connection structure between the second and first grilling bodies can be simplified as much as possible. The relative opening angle between them is also not significantly limited, reaching approximately 180 degrees. Therefore, the grill can also function as a teppanyaki grill. Specifically, the change in the rotational position of the second grilling body relative to the first grilling body has at least a first usage state and a second usage state.

[0025] In the first usage state, the second grilling plate of the second grilling body is engaged with the first grilling plate of the first grilling body.

[0026] In the second usage state, the second grilling body is horizontally unfolded relative to the first grilling body, that is, the front of the second grilling plate of the second grilling body and the front of the first grilling plate of the first grilling body are both facing upwards.

[0027] Compared with the prior art, the advantages of this utility model are as follows: The temperature-sensing and power-conducting component of the grill includes a first temperature-sensing module connected to the first grilling body and a second temperature-sensing module connected to the second grilling body. The first and second temperature-sensing modules are connected by a flexible connecting member. After being connected through the aforementioned flexible connecting member, the second and first temperature-sensing modules can rotate relative to each other. In this way, when the grill is used for cooking, the second temperature-sensing module can rotate flexibly relative to the first grilling body along with the second grilling body, simplifying the structure of the temperature-sensing and power-conducting component, effectively reducing production costs, and reducing the risk of rotation jamming. On the other hand, since the temperature-sensing and power-conducting component is external and detachable from the grill body, when the grill needs to be cleaned, the temperature-sensing and power-conducting component can be unplugged from the grill body. This allows for a simpler and more direct way to clean the grill body, such as directly immersing the second and first grilling bodies in water or rinsing them with plenty of water, without worrying about water entering the electrical components, effectively improving the user experience.

For example, "upper" and "lower" are not necessarily limited to directions opposite to or consistent with the direction of gravity.

[0044] Example 1

[0045] Figures 1-6 A preferred embodiment of the grill of this utility model is shown. The grill includes a grill body and a temperature-sensing and power-conducting assembly 3. The temperature-sensing and power-conducting assembly 3 is detachably connected to the grill body. The grill body includes a first grilling body 1 and a second grilling body 2. The side of the second grilling body 2 is rotatably connected to the first grilling body 1 via a rotating connector. Specifically, the rear side of the second grilling body 2 is rotatably connected to the rear side of the first grilling body 1 via a hinge assembly 41, thereby allowing the second grilling body 2 to flip up and down relative to the first grilling body 1. The hinge assembly 41 can adopt a conventional rotary hinge structure (such as a hinge-type hinge structure, a spring-assisted hinge structure, a damped hinge structure, or a hidden hinge structure that combines sliding and rotation, etc., existing technologies), and its rotation axis extends left and right.

[0046] See Figure 4 The first grilling body 1 in this embodiment includes a first support 11, a first baking pan 14, and a first heating element 13. The first support 11 preferably adopts a shell structure with an open top. The first support 11 generally also includes a reflector (not shown in the drawings), which is also designed as a concave disc or bowl-shaped structure to match the internal space shape of the first support 11. The outer periphery of the reflector is fixedly connected to the outer periphery of the first support 11 by fasteners such as screws. The first heating element 13 may be a first heating tube arranged in a meandering manner. The main body of the first heating tube is located above the reflector and is used to reflect heat to the first baking pan 14 placed above it. The two ends of the first heating tube are basically arranged side-by-side. Specifically, the two ends of the first heating element 13 are electrical terminals, which constitute a third electrical terminal 102 for insertion and engagement with the temperature-sensing and power-conducting component 3. The first heating tube may be integrally designed on the back of the first baking pan 14, or it may be detachable from the first baking pan 14, i.e., mounted on the first support 11 by an additional fixing bracket. The first baking tray 14 in this embodiment is a relatively independent component, that is, it can be placed on the first support 11 and can also be directly removed from the first support 11.

[0047] The second grilling body 2 in this embodiment includes a second support member 21, a second grilling pan 24, and a second heating element 23. The second support member 21 preferably adopts a shell structure with an open bottom. A reflector (not shown in the drawings) may also be installed inside the second support member 21. The reflector is also designed as a concave disc or bowl-shaped structure to match the internal space shape of the second support member 21. The outer periphery of the reflector is fixedly connected to the outer periphery of the second support member 21 by fasteners such as screws. The second heating element 23 uses a second heating tube arranged in a meandering manner. The main body of the second heating tube is located below the reflector and is used to reflect heat to the first grilling pan 14. The two ends of the second heating tube are basically arranged side-by-side. Specifically, the two ends of the second heating element 23 are electrical terminals, which constitute a fourth electrical terminal 202 for insertion and engagement with the temperature-sensing and power-conducting component 3. Generally, the second heating tube can be integrally designed on the back of the second grilling pan 24, or it can be detachable from the second grilling pan 24, i.e., mounted on the second support member 21 by an additional fixing bracket. In this embodiment, the second baking tray 24 is a relatively independent component, meaning it can be placed on and removed directly from the second support member 21. In optional embodiments, one of the aforementioned second baking tray 24 and first baking tray 14 can be detachably placed on the second support member 21 or the first support member 11, while the other is fixed to the first support member 11 or the second support member 21 using fasteners such as screws or clips. Generally, if the second baking tray 24 and the second support member 21 are located on the upper layer, i.e., used as a cover, it is preferable to use a method where the second baking tray 24 is fixedly connected to the second support member 21, while the first baking tray 14 is detachably installed from the first support member 11.

[0048] See Figure 2The temperature-sensing and power-conducting assembly 3 includes a first temperature-sensing module 31 for connection to the first grilling body 1 and a second temperature-sensing module 32 for connection to the second grilling body 2. The first temperature-sensing module 31 and the second temperature-sensing module 32 are detachably plugged into the corresponding first grilling body 1 and second grilling body 2, respectively. The first temperature-sensing module 31 includes a first temperature-sensing base 311, on which a first temperature-sensing rod 312 and a first power-connecting terminal 313 are provided. The first temperature-sensing rod 312 extends outward from the first temperature-sensing base 311 and is electrically connected to a control module correspondingly located within the first temperature-sensing base 311 (or the second temperature-sensing base 321). The first power-connecting terminal 313 is located on the same side of the first temperature-sensing base 311 as the first temperature-sensing rod 312. Specifically, there are two first power-connecting terminals 313, located on opposite sides of the first temperature-sensing rod 312. Adapted to the two ends of the first heating element, which serves as the third electrical terminal 102, the first electrical terminal 313 on the first temperature sensing module 31 adopts a conventional electrical terminal with a recessed insertion hole. The second temperature sensing module 32 includes a second temperature sensing base 321, on which a second temperature sensing rod 322 and a second electrical terminal 323 are provided. The second temperature sensing rod 322 extends outward from the first temperature sensing base 311 and is electrically connected to a control module correspondingly disposed within the second temperature sensing base 321 (or the first temperature sensing base 311). The second electrical terminal 323 is located on the same side of the second temperature sensing base 321 as the second temperature sensing rod 322. Specifically, there are two second electrical terminals 323, located on opposite sides of the second temperature sensing rod 322. Adapted to the two ends of the second heating tube, which serves as the fourth electrical terminal 202, the second electrical terminal 323 of the second temperature sensing module 32 adopts a conventional electrical terminal with a recessed insertion hole.

[0049] In this embodiment, the first temperature sensing module 31 is connected to the second temperature sensing module 32 through the flexible connecting member 34. Similarly, the first temperature sensing module 31 is also electrically connected to the second temperature sensing module 32 through the flexible connecting member 34.

[0050] In this embodiment, the flexible connecting member 34 is configured such that the second temperature sensing module 32 can rotate up and down relative to the first temperature sensing module 1 and the first temperature sensing module 31 as the second grilling body 2 rotates. When one of the second temperature sensing module 32 and the first temperature sensing module 31 detaches from the corresponding first grilling body 1 or second grilling body 2, it can also twist relative to the other. The phrase "one of the second temperature sensing module 32 and the first temperature sensing module 31 can also twist relative to the other" can be understood as the shear deformation motion of the flexible connecting member 34 used to connect the first temperature sensing module 31 and the second temperature sensing module 32 under torque (under external force) around its axis (also the straight line along the length direction of the flexible connecting member 34). During this motion, adjacent cross-sections (cross-sections perpendicular to the length direction of the flexible connecting member 34) of the flexible connecting member 34 will generate relative angular displacement. Specifically, to achieve electrical connection between the first temperature sensing module 31 and the second temperature sensing module 32, the flexible connecting member 34 includes a flexible connector 341 and conductive wires 342 attached to the flexible connector 341. The first temperature sensing module 31 and the second temperature sensing module 32 are electrically connected through the aforementioned conductive wires 342. The aforementioned flexible connector 341 can be a spring, a rubber coupling, a flexible shaft, or a connector made of composite materials (such as an insulating sheath). "Conductive wires 342 are attached to the flexible connector 341" can mean that the conductive wires 342 are disposed inside the flexible connector 341 (e.g., integrally disposed), or that they are disposed on the surface of the flexible connector 341 by means of bonding or other methods. In this embodiment, the flexible connector 341 adopts an insulating sheath 341c, while the conductive wires 342 adopt a conductive core structure with an inner sheath (also made of insulating material). The conductive wires 342 generally have three wires, namely the L wire, the N wire, and the ground wire. The insulating sheath 341c is disposed outside the three conductive wires 342 and together they serve as the aforementioned flexible connection member 34. Of course, the aforementioned grounding wire can also be omitted, and only two conductive wires are provided.

[0051] Because the second temperature sensing module 32 and the first temperature sensing module 31 can rotate relative to each other, when the second temperature sensing module 32 and the first temperature sensing module 31 are installed on the grill body, the second temperature sensing module 32 and the second grill body 2 can flexibly flip up and down relative to the first temperature sensing module 31 and the first grill body 1. Specifically, when the second grill body 2 is fastened to the first grill body 1, the first temperature sensing module 31 and the second temperature sensing module 32 of the temperature-sensing and power-conducting assembly 3 are also relatively closed or folded together. When the second grill body 2 is opened relative to the first grill body 1, the first temperature sensing module 31 and the second temperature sensing module 32 of the temperature-sensing and power-conducting assembly 3 are also relatively unfolded.

[0052] The first grilling body 1 also has a first socket 101 for inserting a first temperature-sensing rod 312 into its interior for temperature sensing. Specifically, the first socket 101 is located on the side of the first support member 11, and a first through hole for inserting the first temperature-sensing rod into the reflector plate located within the first support member 11 is also provided on its side wall. Similarly, the second grilling body 2 also has a second socket 201 for inserting a second temperature-sensing rod 322 into its interior for temperature sensing. Specifically, the second socket 201 is located on the side of the second support member 21, and a second through hole for inserting the second temperature-sensing rod into the reflector plate located within the second support member 21 is also provided on its side wall.

[0053] In existing grills, the hinge component between the second grilling body 2 and the first grilling body 1 has a relatively complex structure due to the presence of wires. This limits the opening angle of the second grilling body 2, which is generally around 105 degrees in conventional grills. However, in this embodiment, since the electrical components and conductive wires are located on the temperature-sensing and power-conducting assembly 3, the rotational connection structure between the second grilling body 2 and the first grilling body 1 can be simplified as much as possible. The relative opening angle between them is not significantly limited and can reach around 180 degrees. Therefore, the grill can also function as a teppanyaki grill. Specifically, in this embodiment, the change in the rotational position of the second grilling body 2 relative to the first grilling body 1 has at least a first usage state and a second usage state. In the first usage state, the second grilling plate 24 of the second grilling body 2 is engaged with the first grilling plate 14 of the first grilling body 1. This usage state can be used as a conventional barbecue machine, sandwich maker, electric griddle, etc. In the second usage state, the second grilling body 2 unfolds horizontally relative to the first grilling body 1, that is, the front of the second grilling plate 24 of the second grilling body 2 and the front of the first grilling plate 14 of the first grilling body 1 are both facing upwards, and the opening angle between them is about 180 degrees. This usage state can be used as a teppanyaki grill.

[0054] The first support member 11 of the first grill body 1 is also provided with a first handle 110. The first handle 110 is U-shaped, and its two ends are connected to the side wall of the first support member 11. The second support member 21 of the second grill body 2 is also provided with a second handle 210. The second handle 210 is also U-shaped, and its two ends are connected to the side wall of the second support member 21. When the grill is in the folded state (i.e., the first use state), the first handle 110 of the first grill body 1 and the second handle 210 of the second grill body 2 are also folded together, allowing the user to hold it with one hand. When storing, the grill body and the temperature-sensing and power-conducting component 3 are separated, and the second grill body 2 of the grill body is folded together with the first grill body 1, making it relatively compact and not taking up storage space.

[0055] The temperature-sensing and power-conducting component of this embodiment also includes a power supply wire 33 for connecting to an external power source. Specifically, the power supply wire 33 can be connected to one of the first temperature-sensing module 31 and the second temperature-sensing module 32. Alternatively, the power supply wire 33 can be connected to both the first temperature-sensing module 31 and the second temperature-sensing module 32, and both can share the same power supply wire 33. In this case, the power supply wire 33 also constitutes the aforementioned flexible connection component.

[0056] To facilitate user control of the grill's functions, at least one of the first temperature sensing base 311 and the second temperature sensing base 321 is provided with a button operation section (not shown) for function selection. The button operation section can adopt one of the following: mechanical knob operation structure, touch button operation structure, or sliding operation structure. Function control can include selection of cooking mode, temperature adjustment, timer operation, etc.

[0057] Furthermore, it should be noted that the second grilling body 2 and the first grilling body 1 in this embodiment are not strictly distinguished. After the grilling device is rotated, the two can be interchanged. In the preferred embodiment, the second grilling body 2 and the first grilling body 1 can adopt a symmetrical structural design.

[0058] See Figure 5 and Figure 6 The temperature-sensing and power-conducting component 3 of the grill in this embodiment includes a first temperature-sensing module 31 for connecting to the first grill body 1 and a second temperature-sensing module 32 for connecting to the second grill body 2. The first temperature-sensing module 31 and the second temperature-sensing module 32 are connected by a flexible connecting member 34. After being connected through the flexible connecting member 34, the second temperature-sensing module 32 and the first temperature-sensing module 31 can rotate relative to each other. In this way, when the grill is used for cooking, the second temperature-sensing module 32 can rotate flexibly relative to the first grill body 1 along with the second grill body 2. This simplifies the structure of the temperature-sensing and power-conducting component 3, effectively reduces production costs, and makes it less likely for the rotation to jam. On the other hand, since the temperature-sensing power supply component is external and detachable from the main body of the grill, when the grill needs to be cleaned, the temperature-sensing power supply component 3 (the electrical components are basically concentrated on the temperature-sensing power supply component 3) can be removed from the main body of the grill. In this way, the main body of the grill can be cleaned in a simpler and more direct way. For example, the second grill body 2 (where the second baking pan 24 and other parts of the second grill body 2 can be cleaned separately) and the first grill body 1 (where the first baking pan 14 and other parts of the first grill body 1 can be cleaned separately) can be soaked in water or rinsed with plenty of water without worrying about water entering the electrical components, which effectively improves the user experience.

[0059] Example 2

[0060] Figures 7-10Another preferred embodiment of the grill of this utility model is shown. The difference between this embodiment and Embodiment 1 lies in the structure of the flexible connecting member 34. In this embodiment, the flexible connecting member 341 includes a protective spring 341a and an insulating sleeve 341b. The two ends of the protective spring 341a are respectively connected to the first temperature sensing module 31 and the second temperature sensing module 32. The insulating sleeve 341b is disposed inside the protective spring 341a and bends along with it. The conductive wire 342 is correspondingly disposed inside the protective spring 341a and the insulating sleeve 341b. The insulating sleeve 341b prevents the conductive wire 342 from directly contacting the protective spring 341a, thus improving the protective performance. The insulating sleeve 341b can generally be made of plastic or rubber; however, if the protective spring 341a itself has an insulating layer, the insulating sleeve 341b can be omitted.

[0061] Example 3

[0062] Figures 11-14 This illustration shows another preferred embodiment of the grill of the present invention. The difference between this embodiment and Embodiment 1 lies in the structure of the flexible connecting member 34. In this embodiment, the flexible connector 341 of the flexible connecting member 34 is a flat, flexible insulating component, such as a flexible rubber component or a flexible plastic component. The conductive wire 342 in this embodiment can be a simple metal wire or a conductive core structure with an inner sheath (also an insulating material). There are three conductive wires 342: an L wire, a N wire, and a grounding wire. Alternatively, the grounding wire can be omitted, and only two conductive wires are provided.

[0063] Based on the above embodiments, other embodiments can be obtained by replacing and improving the relevant technical features. For example, the "first support member" and "second support member" in the above embodiments are not limited to a shell structure; they can also be a partially hollowed-out bracket structure or a bracket structure with support legs. Of course, when using such a bracket structure, the back of the second baking pan 24 and the first baking pan 14 should be covered with corresponding upper and lower reflective plates to reduce heat loss. Correspondingly, the first socket 101 on the first grilling body 1 and the second socket 201 on the second grilling body 2 are also openings on the reflective plates. Alternatively, the first support member and the second support member can be independent, that is, they are not rotatably connected, while the rear side of the second baking pan 24 is rotatably connected to the rear side of the first baking pan 14 through a hinge assembly 41. Based on this, the second baking pan 24 is fixedly connected to the second support member, and the first baking pan 14 is fixedly connected to the first support member. When the grill needs to be cleaned, the temperature-sensing power-on component 3 is removed from the grill body, and the second grill body 2 and the first grill body 1 are cleaned as a whole.
