Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of kitchenware technology, specifically to a kitchenware equipped with a contact switch. Background Technology

[0002] A contact switch is a mechanical switch that controls the on / off state of a circuit by the contact or separation of physical metal contacts. Its core component is a conductive metal contact (such as a silver alloy), which connects or disconnects the circuit through mechanical operations such as pressing or tossing. Common types include contact switches, tactile switches, and toggle switches. They have the advantages of simple structure and low cost, but suffer from contact oxidation and mechanical wear. Contact switches are widely used in electrical control, industrial equipment, and consumer electronics products, and are one of the fundamental components of circuit control. Existing kitchen appliances often use contact switches to turn internal circuit modules on or off.

[0003] Currently, there is a type of kitchen appliance on the market that, when the operator installs the frying drum onto the machine body, the drum should abut against the contacts of a microswitch on the machine body, thus opening the switch. However, during the use of this appliance, various errors may occur during the installation of the frying drum, including variations in installation position and structural deformation due to aging. This can lead to situations where, when the operator installs the frying drum onto the machine body, the drum does not abut against the contacts of the microswitch, preventing the switch from opening and the internal circuit module of the appliance from activating.

Moreover, the terms "first," "second," etc., are used to distinguish similar objects and are not necessarily used to describe a specific order or sequence.

[0040] Please see Figures 1 to 6 This application provides a kitchen appliance equipped with a contact switch. The kitchen appliance may include a structure to be installed 1, a transmission component 2, a contact switch 3, and a body 4. Optionally, the structure to be installed 1 is detachably connected to the body 4. The structure to be installed 1 can be a structure for installation on the body 4. The operator can install the structure to be installed 1 on the body 4 when needed, and remove the structure to be installed 1 from the body 4 after use or when no longer needed.

[0041] In one possible embodiment, the contact switch 3 may include a contact portion 31. The contact portion 31 may include a button structure that can be pressed and, when pressed, turns on the entire electrical module connected to the contact switch 3. Alternatively, it may include any mechanical structure similar in principle to a button structure. The contact portion 31 may include an on state and an off state.

[0042] Optionally, the transmission assembly 2 can be mounted on the body 4. The transmission assembly 2 may include a transmission member 21, which can abut against the structure 1 to be installed and can abut against the contact portion 31. The first end of the transmission member 21 can abut against the structure 1 to be installed, and the second end of the transmission member 21 can abut against the contact portion 31.

[0043] When the structure to be installed 1 is being installed on the body 4, under the abutting force of the structure to be installed 1 or the contact part 31, the transmission component 21 can move between the first position and the second position. The transmission component 21 can be displaced or rotated along a defined motion trajectory between the first position and the second position. When the transmission component 21 moves between the first position and the second position, the contact part 31 is connected and the contact switch 3 is opened if and only if the transmission component 21 is in the second position.

[0044] In this embodiment, when the structure to be installed 1 is mounted on the body 4, the transmission member 21 can move from the first position to the second position due to the contact of the structure to be installed 1. When the structure to be installed 1 is removed from the body 4, the transmission member 21 can move from the second position back to the first position due to the contact of the contact portion 31. Since the contact switch 3 is opened when the transmission member 21 is in the second position and the contact portion 31 is conducting, the precise opening of the internal circuit module of the kitchen appliance can be achieved.

[0045] In one possible embodiment, the transmission member 21 is a rotating member, and the transmission member 21 can rotate relative to the body 4.

[0046] Optionally, when the structure to be installed 1 is being installed on the body 4, under the abutting force of the structure to be installed 1 or the contact part 31, the transmission component 21 can rotate within a first angle and a second angle. The first angle corresponds to a first position. When the transmission component 21 rotates to the first angle, the transmission component 21 is in the first position. The second angle corresponds to a second position. When the transmission component 21 rotates to the second angle, the transmission component 21 is in the second position.

[0047] Therefore, when the structure to be installed 1 is installed on the body 4, the transmission component 21 can move from the first angle to the second angle under the contact of the structure to be installed 1. When the structure to be installed 1 is removed from the body 4, the transmission component 21 can move from the second angle back to the first angle under the contact of the contact part 31. Since the contact switch 3 is opened only when the transmission component 21 is at the second angle, the precise opening of the internal circuit module of the kitchen appliance can be achieved.

[0048] In one possible embodiment, during the installation of the structure to be installed 1, the structure to be installed 1 abuts against the transmission member 21, and the structure to be installed 1 can push the transmission member 21 and cause the transmission member 21 to rotate from a first angle to a second angle, thereby realizing the opening of the contact switch 3.

[0049] Optionally, during the disassembly of the structure to be installed 1, the contact part 31 abuts against the transmission member 21, and the contact part 31 can push the transmission member 21 and cause the transmission member 21 to rotate from the second angle to the first angle, thereby closing the contact switch 3. Thus, the contact switch 3 can be opened when the structure to be installed 1 is installed on the body 4, and closed when the contact switch 3 is removed from the body 4, achieving precise opening and closing of the internal circuit module.

[0050] In one possible embodiment, the transmission assembly 2 includes a mounting base 22, which can be fixedly or detachably mounted on the body 4. The mounting base 22 can be used to support the transmission component 21 and the contact switch 3.

[0051] Optionally, the transmission component 21 is rotatably mounted on the machine body 4 via the mounting base 22, allowing the transmission component 21 to rotate on the machine body 4. The contact switch 3 can be mounted on the machine body 4 via the mounting base 22, and the contact switch 3 can be fixedly connected to the mounting base 22 or detachably connected. Thus, the mounting base 22 can provide limiting support for the transmission component 21 and the contact switch 3.

[0052] In one possible embodiment, the transmission member 21 includes a rotating shaft 211, which is capable of rotating about the axis of the rotating shaft 211 as the center line of rotation. The rotating shaft 211 can be a cylindrical structure or a cylindrical-like structure.

[0053] Optionally, the mounting base 22 is provided with a support hole group 221, through which the mounting base 22 can support the rotating shaft 211, and the rotating shaft 211 can be rotatably disposed within the support hole group 221. The mounting base 22 may be provided with two support holes, and the transmission component 21 may be located between the two support holes, with both ends of the transmission component 21 respectively disposed on the two support holes, thereby realizing the rotational support of the transmission component 21 by the mounting base 22.

[0054] In one possible embodiment, the mounting base 22 includes a mounting structure for mounting the contact switch 3. The mounting structure corresponds to the structure of the contact switch 3, which is mounted on the mounting base 22 via the mounting structure.

[0055] Specifically, the mounting structure of the mounting base 22 may include a number of positioning posts 222, and the contact switch 3 may include a number of positioning holes 32 corresponding to the positioning posts 222. When the contact switch 3 is connected to the mounting base 22, each positioning post 222 is located in the positioning hole 32 corresponding to each positioning post 222, thereby enabling the installation of the contact switch 3.

[0056] In one possible embodiment, the transmission assembly 2 includes a mounting cover 23, the structure of which may correspond to the structure of the mounting base 22. The mounting cover 23 may be disposed on the mounting base 22, and may be fixedly disposed or closedly disposed on the mounting base 22. The mounting cover 23 and the mounting base 22 together can limit the position of the transmission component 21.

[0057] Optionally, the mounting base 22 can be disposed over the support hole group 221 to prevent the transmission component 21 from running out of the support hole group 221 when the kitchen utensils are inverted, thereby restricting the position of the transmission component 21.

[0058] In one possible embodiment, the structure to be installed 1 is provided with a contact bump 11, which can be a protruding structure including a rib or a strip.

[0059] Optionally, the mounting cover 23 is provided with a contact hole 231, the shape of which can correspond to the shape of the contact protrusion 11, and the contact hole 231 can be slightly larger than the contact protrusion 11. When the structure to be installed 1 is installed on the body 4, the contact protrusion 11 can be located in the contact hole 231, and the contact protrusion 11 can abut against the transmission member 21. The structure to be installed 1 can abut against the transmission member 21 through the contact protrusion 11, thereby causing the transmission member 21 to move.

[0060] In one possible embodiment, the transmission member 21 includes a transmission end 212 and a bent end 213, which may be located at a first end and a second end of the transmission member 21.

[0061] Optionally, the transmission end 212 is used to abut against the structure 1 to be installed, and the bent end 213 is used to abut against the contact portion 31. The rotating shaft 211 can be disposed between the transmission end 212 and the bent end 213. When one end of the transmission member 21 rotates under the push of the abutting force, the other end of the transmission member 21 also rotates accordingly. Thus, during the installation process of the structure 1 to be installed, when the structure 1 to be installed abuts against the transmission end 212, the bent portion also abuts against the contact portion 31 accordingly.

[0062] In one possible embodiment, the structure to be installed 1 includes a frying drum 12. The kitchen appliance in this application can be an air fryer, and the frying drum 12 in this application can be the cooking chamber for placing food within the air fryer. For ease of demonstration, the frying drum 12 in this application... Figures 2 to 5 All of them conceal the 12-barrel-shaped structure.

[0063] Optionally, the contact switch 3 in this application can be a switching component on the control module of the frying drum 12. Therefore, in the embodiments of this application, the contact switch 3 and the control module of the frying drum 12 can form a common closed circuit, allowing the contact switch 3 to close while the frying drum 12 is being installed and to open after the frying drum 12 is being removed. This ensures that the frying drum 12 control module is activated and operates only when the frying drum 12 is installed on the machine body 4, and is deactivated when the frying drum 12 is removed from the machine body 4, thereby saving energy and achieving electrical safety.
