Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of waffle machine technology, specifically to a waffle machine with anti-scalding edges. Background Technology

[0002] A waffle maker is a kitchen appliance used to make waffles. It bakes batter into crispy on the outside and soft on the inside waffles by heating and pressing the batter into a mold; the ingredients are placed in a pan, and the top and bottom are closed to press and heat the batter to make waffles.

[0003] However, the following problems still exist in actual use:

[0004] The high temperatures during waffle making, particularly the hot edges of the upper and lower plates, can cause burns when handling waffles. Secondly, the constant heat causes the opening and closing mechanisms of the upper and lower plates to expand and loosen, making them difficult to close tightly during transport. Finally, when the upper and lower plates are pressed together, the expanding contents overflow from the edges of the plates, adhering to the outer edge of the lower plate and causing cleaning difficulties. Utility Model Content

[0005] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides an edge-protected waffle maker, which solves the problems mentioned in the background section.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: an edge-protected waffle maker, comprising a lower plate and an upper plate, wherein the lower plate and the upper plate are rotatably connected, a controller is fixed on the lower plate, and protective strips are fixedly connected to both sides of the lower plate. The protective strips are L-shaped, with the upper surface of the vertical end of the protective strip positioned above the opening and closing point of the lower and upper plates. A fixing mechanism is fixedly connected to the outer end of the protective strip, and the fixing mechanism is positioned at the upper end of the upper plate.

[0007] Furthermore, slots are provided on both sides of the lower plate, a strip box is placed inside the protective strip, the upper end of the strip box is hung on the upper end of the protective strip, and the outer edge of the strip box is matched and locked with the slot.

[0008] Furthermore, the fixing mechanism includes handles, which are fixedly connected to both ends of the protective strip. One of the handles is fitted with a fixing strap, which passes through the other handle from the upper end of the upper plate and is wrapped around the handle and bonded to itself.

[0009] Furthermore, a handle is fixedly connected to the upper outer side of the strip box, and the handle is arc-shaped and upwardly positioned.

[0010] Furthermore, clearance grooves are provided on both sides of the strip box.

[0011] Furthermore, the protective strip is preferably made of rubber.

[0012] This invention provides a waffle iron with anti-scalding edges. Compared with the prior art, it has the following advantages:

[0013] This edge-protected waffle maker features a protective strip and a fixing mechanism. The protective strip prevents direct contact between the operator's hands and the heated edge of the lower plate, thus avoiding burns. The fixing mechanism also ensures the waffle maker can be closed and stabilized.

[0014] This edge-protected waffle machine features a strip box placed inside a protective strip. The raw materials squeezed from the lower and upper plates can flow into the strip box for collection, avoiding tedious cleaning later. The strip box and protective strip are detachable for easy maintenance and cleaning. Attached Figure Description

[0022] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0023] Please see Figure 1-6This utility model provides a technical solution: an edge-protected waffle machine, including a lower plate 1 and an upper plate 2, the lower plate 1 and the upper plate 2 being rotatably connected. A controller 3 is fixed on the lower plate 1, and protective strips 6 are fixedly connected to both sides of the lower plate 1. The protective strips 6 are L-shaped, with the upper surface of the vertical end of the protective strip 6 positioned above the opening and closing point of the lower plate 1 and the upper plate 2. A fixing mechanism is fixedly connected to the outer end of the protective strip 6, and the fixing mechanism is positioned at the upper end of the upper plate 2. The waffle machine mainly heats and bakes the prepared filling by opening and closing the upper plate 2 and the lower plate 1, and the temperature is controlled by the controller. The controller 3 is used for control and adjustment, which is a known technology and will not be described in detail here. In this design, protective strips 6 are fixed on both sides of the lower plate 1. The protective strips 6 keep the operator's hands away from the sides of the lower plate 1 to prevent the lower plate 1 from heating and burning the operator's hands. At the same time, the upper end of the protective strip 6 is located above the opening and closing point of the lower plate 1 and the upper plate 2, which can also prevent touching the edge of the upper plate 2. Fixing mechanisms are set on both sides of the protective strip 6. The fixing mechanisms can restrict and close the lower plate 1 and the upper plate 2 during transportation, thereby facilitating the use and transportation of the waffle machine.

[0024] like Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, slots 9 are provided on both sides of the lower plate 1. A strip box 7 is placed inside the protective strip 6. The upper end of the strip box 7 is hung on the upper end of the protective strip 6. The outer edge of the strip box 7 matches and is locked in place with the slot 9. The protective strip 6 is L-shaped. The strip box 7 is placed inside the protective strip 6, and the port edge of the strip box 7 matches and is locked in place with the slot 9. The slot 9 can stably limit the position of the strip box 7. At the same time, the port of the strip box 7 is located in the slot 9. When making waffles, the raw material that seeps out from the edge will flow down the lower plate 1 into the strip box 7. The strip box 7 can collect the excess raw material residue, which is convenient for cleaning the edge of the lower plate 1. When the strip box 7 needs to be disassembled, it can be pulled upwards. The upper and lower ends of the slot 9 are inclined to facilitate the removal of the strip box 7.

[0025] like Figure 1 As shown, the fixing mechanism includes handles 4, which are fixedly connected to both ends of the protective strip 6. One of the handles 4 is fitted with a fixing strap 5, which passes through the other handle 4 from the upper end of the upper plate 2 and is wrapped around the handle 4 and bonded to itself. When not in use, the lower plate 1 and the upper plate 2 are closed, and the fixing strap 5 is wrapped around the upper end of the upper plate 2 to the other end of the handle 4 and then wrapped around it again to be fixedly bonded to itself. This can stably fix the upper plate 2 and the lower plate 1, improving the stability during handling.

[0026] like Figure 5As shown, a handle 8 is fixedly connected to the upper outer side of the bar box 7. The handle 8 is arc-shaped and upward-facing. The handle 8 on the outer side of the bar box 7 makes it easy for the operator to pick up the bar box 7. The bar box 7 can be stably taken out by lifting the handle 8 with both hands at the same time. Similarly, during installation, the upper end of the bar box 7 can be pressed down, and the bar box 7 can be matched and fixed with the slot 9 by its own elasticity.

[0027] like Figure 6 As shown, the two ends of the bar box 7 are provided with relief grooves 10, which makes the bar box 7 more flexible when it is picked up and installed, and improves the convenience of installation and disassembly.

[0028] like Figure 6 As shown, the protective strip 6 is preferably made of rubber; the rubber strip itself has stable properties and has weak thermal conductivity during use, which can prevent overheating and burns to operators.
