[0022] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figures 1-4 This application will be described in further detail.
[0023] This application discloses an intelligent rotary door lock for a universal steam oven.
[0024] A smart rotary door lock for a multi-purpose steam oven, see reference. Figures 1-2 The system includes: a main body 11, a lead screw coupling 2, an extension shaft 10, and a motor 1. The lead screw coupling 2 is installed on the top of the main body 11, and the extension shaft 10 is located on one side of the lead screw coupling 2 and is used to control the opening and closing of the door by rotation. The motor 1 is installed at the bottom of the lead screw coupling 2 and is used to drive the lead screw coupling 2. Based on the main body 11, the lead screw coupling 2 and other parts are assembled. The motor 1 can be an existing high-precision active power motor that can feedback speed and current. The rotational force is transmitted through the lead screw coupling 2. It can withstand high torque tension according to the stress conditions of the working conditions.
[0025] Reference Figure 1 The output end of the lead screw coupling 2 is fitted with a special-shaped lead screw nut 5 for converting rotary motion into linear motion. The output end of the lead screw coupling 2 is provided with a wear-resistant bushing 3. The bushing 3 is provided with a bushing seat 4 fixedly installed on the top of the main body 11. The lead screw coupling 2 and the special-shaped lead screw nut 5 can be connected through the wear-resistant bushing 3 and the bushing seat 4. It can realize the transmission of large torque without screw fixation, prevent the problem of screw loosening and failure caused by long-term vibration, and the machining parts do not require high-precision machining.
[0026] Reference Figure 1 A spring pin 7 is fixedly installed on the outside of the irregular-shaped lead screw nut 5. The extension shaft 10 is located at one end of the spring pin 7. The main body 11 is provided with a rotary cam track for limiting the rotation angle of the extension shaft 10. The irregular-shaped lead screw nut 5 is fitted with the lead screw coupling 2, which can convert the rotational motion into linear motion. The extension shaft 10 is driven by the spring pin 7, which can realize the mechanical tripping protection effect after the extension shaft 10 is overloaded. Furthermore, due to the setting of the spring pin inside the spring pin 7, the spring pin inside the spring pin 7 can be manually pulled up in the event of power failure or electrical control failure. The sliding spring pin 7 drives the extension shaft 10 to realize the normal rotation extension tensioning switch function. The rotation angle of the extension shaft 10 is limited by the rotary cam track of the main body 11, which can cope with equipment that requires end rotation switch lock and rear linear motion tensioning.
[0027] Reference Figure 1 A hook 9 is fixedly installed at the end of the protruding shaft 10. The hook 9 installed at the end of the protruding shaft 10 can be used to cooperate with the original fixed hook of the main body of the steam oven and other equipment to tighten it.
[0028] Reference Figure 1 The main body 11 is equipped with a release position switch 6 and a tension position switch 13 at the top for controlling the start and stop positions of the extension shaft 10. The bushing seat 4 is equipped with a first adjustable sheet metal 8 at the top. The release position switch 6 is fixedly installed on the top of the first adjustable sheet metal 8. The main body 11 is equipped with a second adjustable sheet metal 12 on one side. The tension position switch 13 is fixedly installed on one side of the second adjustable sheet metal 12. The first adjustable sheet metal 8 can connect the bushing seat 4 and the release position switch 6. The second adjustable sheet metal 12 can connect the main body 11 and the tension position switch 13. The start and stop positions of the opening and tightening of the door are determined by the release position switch 6 and the tension position switch 13.
[0029] Reference Figures 2-4 The main body 11 has a height adjustment mechanism at its bottom. The height adjustment mechanism includes a threaded rod 14 threaded inside the main body 11 and a fixed plate 15 rotatably disposed at the bottom of the threaded rod 14 and abutting against one side of the main body 11. A rotating plate 16 is fixedly disposed at the bottom of the threaded rod 14 and is rotatably connected to the fixed plate 15. Several fixing holes 17 for bolts to pass through are opened on the edge of the fixed plate 15. Two sets of handles 18 are fixedly disposed on the outer wall of the top of the threaded rod 14. The fixed plate 15 can be installed on equipment such as a steam oven by passing bolts through the fixing holes 17. The rotating plate 16 can connect the threaded rod 14 and the fixed plate 15, so that the threaded rod 14 can rotate on the fixed plate 15 without disengaging. The main body 11 can limit the abutting fixed plate 15, so that the main body 11 can move up and down on the top of the fixed plate 15.
[0030] The operator can rotate the threaded rod 14 by using the handle 18. With the connection of the rotating plate 16 and the limiting of the main body 11, the main body 11 can be moved up and down on the top of the fixed plate 15 to control the height of the main body 11 and the extension shaft 10 and other components. This allows the smart door lock to open and close doors of different heights, making it widely applicable.
[0031] The implementation principle of the intelligent rotating door lock for a universal steam oven in this application embodiment is as follows:
[0032] Motor 1 can drive screw coupling 2 to run and transmit rotational force. Screw coupling 2, which is fitted with special-shaped screw nut 5, can convert rotational motion into linear motion. Thus, through spring pin 7, it drives extension shaft 10 to achieve mechanical tripping protection after extension shaft 10 is overloaded. After the extension shaft 10 rotates, it can press the oven door against the oven or detach it from the oven to open and close the oven door. The rotation angle of extension shaft 10 is limited by the rotation cam track of main body 11, which can cope with equipment that requires end rotation switch lock and rear linear motion tensioning.
[0033] Furthermore, due to the setting of the spring pin inside the spring pin 7, in the event of power failure or electrical control failure, the spring pin inside the spring pin 7 can be manually pulled up, and the sliding spring pin 7 can drive the extension shaft 10 to realize the normal rotation extension and tightening switch function.
[0034] Specifically, when the system receives the start command, the main drive motor 1 rotates forward, the extension shaft 10 moves forward, driving the spring pin 7 to rotate and move axially in conjunction with the rotating cam track of the main body 11, triggering the release position switch 6, and the system stops.
[0035] When the system receives the shutdown command, the main drive motor 1 reverses, the extension shaft 10 moves backward, driving the spring pin 7 to rotate and move axially in conjunction with the rotating cam track of the main body 11, triggering the tensioning switch 13, and the system stops;
[0036] Overall, it enables intelligent switching and adjustment of door-equipped appliances such as steam ovens, reducing unattended automation time. It can determine the tension level and status based on feedback signals such as the speed, current, and voltage of motor 1, and can determine the position status based on feedback signals from two position detection switches. It can switch between rotation and linear motion modes to meet the needs of rotary switch tensioning. It can also be adjusted according to the gap size of the actual application to achieve different depth tensioning functions for different steam oven doors, as well as different depth unhooking (releasing) functions for different steam oven doors that require different rotation depths. It also has a manual operation solution in case of automation failure, making it more versatile and comprehensive.
[0037] The above are all preferred embodiments of this application, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, all equivalent changes made in accordance with the structure, shape and principle of this application should be covered within the scope of protection of this application.
