Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of household appliances, in particular to an upper cover assembly and a baking appliance. BACKGROUND

[0002] The baking appliance usually comprises an upper baking tray assembly and a lower baking tray assembly, the upper baking tray assembly is rotatably connected to the lower baking tray, and a handle is usually arranged on the upper baking tray assembly to facilitate the user to exert force.

[0003] At present, the handle on the upper shell of the baking appliance can be divided into two types, one is a fixed handle, the handle is fixed on the upper shell, and the handle is arranged on the top surface of the upper shell in the height direction of the upper shell or is protruded on the side surface or the top surface of the upper shell in the length direction of the upper shell, the fixed handle cannot play a supporting role when the baking appliance is completely unfolded, or the fixed handle needs to be arranged to protrude from the top surface of the upper shell by a high dimension to play a supporting role, which increases the overall volume of the baking appliance and is inconvenient to store; the other is a folding handle, the folding handle can reduce the volume when being stored and can play a supporting role when being completely unfolded, but the handle of the existing folding handle is in close contact with the upper shell in the storage state, the upper shell is subjected to high-temperature heat radiation of the upper heating element and the upper baking tray, and the handle has no protruding part, so that the user may be scalded when touching the upper shell or the upper baking tray. SUMMARY

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to provide an upper cover assembly and a baking appliance to solve the above problems, the handle of the baking appliance can reduce the volume when being stored and can be safely and conveniently unfolded when being lifted or supporting the cover.

[0005] The utility model provides an upper cover assembly for a baking appliance, the baking appliance comprises a lower shell assembly and an upper cover assembly rotatably connected with the lower shell assembly, the upper cover assembly comprises: an upper cover, the upper cover is provided with a mounting groove, the mounting groove is located away from one end of the upper cover assembly for rotatably connecting with the lower shell assembly; a handle, the handle is movably arranged on the upper cover, the handle comprises a force applying part and a supporting part connected with the force applying part, the handle has a storage state and an unfolded state; and a limiting assembly, the limiting assembly comprises a limiting piece and a blocking piece, the limiting piece is liftably arranged on the upper cover, and the blocking piece is arranged on the supporting part, in the storage state, the limiting piece abuts against the blocking piece, so that the supporting part is located in the mounting groove, when the limiting piece is away from the blocking piece, the supporting part can automatically rotate relative to the upper cover, so that the handle changes to the unfolded state, and a lower surface of the supporting part and an upper surface of the upper cover maintain a set angle.

[0006] In the aforementioned top cover assembly, when the handle is in the retracted state, the support portion of the handle is located within the mounting groove, preventing the support portion from protruding from the top cover and thus reducing the volume of the top cover assembly when retracted. When the user needs to lift the top cover assembly, they first control the lifting and lowering of the limiting component, causing the limiting component to move away from the blocking component. The support portion then automatically rotates relative to the top cover, causing the handle to change to the unfolded state. The user can open the top cover using the unfolded handle without touching the hot top cover and being burned. Furthermore, in the unfolded state, the lower surface of the support portion maintains a set angle with the upper surface of the top cover, allowing the end of the force-applying part away from the top cover to be stably supported on an external surface such as a desktop or tabletop. This provides support for the top cover assembly, ensuring its stability and reliability when the top cover assembly is open at 180 degrees.

[0007] In one embodiment, the limiting component further includes a reset member, one end of which abuts against the limiting member and the other end is disposed on the upper cover.

[0008] This design eliminates the need for users to manually control the lifting and resetting of the limit switch and its contact with the stop, making it easier for users to operate.

[0009] In one embodiment, the upper cover is provided with a cavity, the limiting member is vertically positioned in the cavity, one end of the resetting member abuts against the limiting member, and the other end abuts against the wall of the cavity.

[0010] With this design, the cavity can limit the range of motion of the limiting component, allowing the limiting component to always move up and down along the height of the top cover, ensuring that the limiting component can accurately abut against the stop component.

[0011] In one embodiment, the limiting member includes a pressing portion and a blocking portion connected to the pressing portion, the blocking portion protruding toward the side close to the stop member, the resetting member being located between the wall of the cavity and the blocking portion, the pressing portion at least partially protruding from the cavity; the blocking portion abutting against the stop member.

[0012] With this configuration, the pressing part protrudes at least partially from the cavity, so that the user can control the pressing part to move the limiting member outside the cavity. The pressing part inside the cavity can cooperate with the inner wall of the cavity to limit the movement direction of the limiting member.

[0013] In one embodiment, in the stored state, the blocking part abuts against the stop and the overlapping dimension L1 of the abutment is 2mm to 5mm.

[0014] This design prevents the stop from interfering with the stop or support when the handle rotates relative to the top cover, thus allowing the handle to rotate smoothly relative to the top cover.

[0015] In one embodiment, one of the handle and the mounting groove is provided with a pivot, and the other is provided with a rotating groove adapted to the rotation of the pivot.

[0016] This design allows the handle to rotate relative to the top cover through the cooperation of the rotating shaft and the rotating groove. The structure is simple and easy to process and assemble.

[0017] In one embodiment, the pivot is mounted on the support portion, and the handle is also provided with an elastic element. In the retracted state, the elastic element is in a compressed state. When the limiting member moves away from the stop member, the elastic element resets, causing the handle to change to an unfolded state.

[0018] With this design, when the limiting component moves away from the stop component, the support part can rotate relative to the top cover under the action of the elastic force of the elastic component, so that the handle can be changed to the unfolded state for easy operation by the user; and the elastic component can also improve the stability and reliability of the handle in the unfolded state.

[0019] In one embodiment, the pivot is located at one end of the support portion near the force-applying portion; or the pivot is located at one end of the support portion away from the force-applying portion.

[0020] With this configuration, when the pivot is located at the end of the support unit near the force-applying part, pressing the limiting member causes it to move away from the stop member, allowing the handle to rotate relative to the top cover to the unfolded state. In the 180-degree open state, the end of the support unit away from the force-applying part can be supported on the outer plane. When the pivot is located at the end of the support unit away from the force-applying part, pulling the limiting member causes it to move away from the stop member, allowing the handle to rotate relative to the top cover to the unfolded state. In the 180-degree open state, the end of the force-applying part away from the force-applying part can be supported on the outer plane.

[0021] This utility model also provides a grilling appliance, including: a lower shell assembly; and the aforementioned upper cover assembly, wherein the upper cover assembly is rotatably connected to the lower shell assembly.

[0022] In one embodiment, the lower housing assembly also has a support leg. In the unfolded state, the distance between the plane where the upper cover and the support leg are located is H1, and the height of the handle protruding from the upper cover is H2, which satisfies: H2-H1≥1mm.

[0023] With this configuration, when the support legs and the force-applying part are supported on the external plane, the upper baking tray of the upper cover assembly is tilted downward toward the lower housing assembly, so that the oil on the upper baking tray can flow along the upper baking tray to the lower housing assembly, avoiding the oil from flowing to other places and being difficult to clean.

[0036] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this invention pertains. The terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the invention. The term "or / and" as used herein includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.

[0037] Grilling appliances typically consist of an upper grilling pan assembly and a lower grilling pan assembly. The upper grilling pan assembly is rotatably connected to the lower grilling pan assembly. By operating the upper grilling pan assembly relative to the lower grilling pan assembly, a handle is usually provided on the upper grilling pan assembly for the user to apply force. Currently, the handles on the upper shell of grilling appliances can generally be divided into two types: one is a fixed handle, which is located on the top surface of the upper shell along its height or protrudes from the side or top surface of the upper shell along its length. This type of fixed handle either does not provide support when the grilling appliance is fully extended, or if it does provide support, it requires a very large protrusion from the top surface of the upper shell, increasing the overall size of the grilling appliance and making it inconvenient to store; the other type is a folding handle. Although this type can reduce the size when stored and provides support when fully extended, the existing folding handles are close to the upper shell when stored. The upper shell is exposed to high temperatures from the heat radiation of the upper heating element and the upper grilling pan, and since the handle does not protrude, the user's hand may touch the upper shell or the upper grilling pan when picking it up, resulting in burns.

[0038] To solve the above problems, such as Figures 1 to 9 As shown, this application provides a lid assembly 100 and a grilling appliance. The handle of the grilling appliance can be folded down to reduce its size when stored, and can be safely and conveniently unfolded when the lid needs to be lifted or supported. The length direction of the grilling appliance is defined as... Figures 1 to 6 The width direction of the grilling utensil is shown in the left-right direction. Figures 1 to 6 The front-to-back direction shown indicates that the height direction of the grilling equipment is... Figures 1 to 6 The up and down directions are shown.

[0039] like Figures 1 to 6As shown, specifically, the upper cover assembly 100 is used for a grilling appliance. The grilling appliance includes a lower housing assembly 200 and an upper cover assembly 100 rotatably connected to the lower housing assembly 200. The upper cover assembly 100 includes an upper cover 10, a handle 20, and a limiting assembly 30. Specifically, the upper cover 10 has a mounting groove 11 located at the end of the upper cover assembly 100 away from the end used for rotatable connection with the lower housing assembly 200. The handle 20 is movably disposed on the upper cover 10 and includes a force-applying part 21 and a support part 2 connected to the force-applying part 21. 2. The handle 20 has a retracted state and an extended state; the limiting component 30 includes a limiting member 31 and a stop member 33. The limiting member 31 is vertically and vertically mounted on the upper cover 10, and the stop member 33 is mounted on the support part 22. In the retracted state, the limiting member 31 abuts against the stop member 33, so that the support part 22 is located in the mounting groove 11. When the limiting member 31 moves away from the stop member 33, the support part 22 can automatically rotate relative to the upper cover 10 to change the handle 20 to the extended state, and maintain a set angle between the lower surface of the support part 22 and the upper surface of the upper cover 10.

[0040] It should be noted that the upper cover assembly 100 has the following characteristics: Figures 1 to 6 The closed state, the 90-degree open state (not shown in the figure), and as shown Figure 7 The image shows the 180-degree open position. The user can control the top cover assembly to automatically close along the [position not specified]. Figure 1 The upper cover assembly 100 can be rotated clockwise relative to the lower housing assembly 200 to a 90-degree open state and a 180-degree open state, or the upper cover assembly 100 can be controlled to rotate clockwise from the 180-degree open state. Figure 7 The upper cover assembly 100 rotates counterclockwise relative to the lower housing assembly 200 to a 90-degree open state and a closed state. In the closed state, the upper cover assembly 100 and the lower housing assembly 200 are approximately 0° apart; in the 90-degree open state, the upper cover assembly 100 and the lower housing assembly 200 are approximately 90° to 105° apart; and in the 180-degree open state, the upper cover assembly 100 and the lower housing assembly 200 are approximately 180° apart.

[0041] In the top cover assembly 100 provided in this embodiment of the utility model, when the handle 20 is in the stored state, the support part 22 of the handle 20 is located in the mounting groove 11, so that the support part 22 does not protrude from the top cover 10, avoiding increasing the overall thickness of the top cover assembly 100, thereby reducing the volume of the top cover assembly 100 when stored, so as to facilitate storage; when the user needs to lift the top cover assembly 100, first control the limit member 31 to rise and fall, so that the limit member 31 moves away from the stop member 33, and then control the support part 22 to automatically rotate relative to the top cover 10 so that the handle 20 changes to the unfolded state. The user opens the top cover 10 through the unfolded handle 20 without touching the hot top cover 10, avoiding being burned. In the unfolded state, the lower surface of the support part 22 and the upper surface of the top cover 10 maintain a set angle so that the end of the force application part 21 away from the top cover 10 can be stably supported on the external plane such as the table or countertop, thereby providing support for the top cover assembly 100, so as to ensure the stability and reliability of the top cover assembly 100 in the 180-degree open state.

[0042] When the handle 20 needs to be changed from the 180-degree open state to the storage state, first control the support part 22 to rotate in the opposite direction relative to the upper cover 10 so that the handle 20 changes to the storage state. Then control the limit member 31 to rise and fall to reset, so that the limit member 31 abuts against the stop member 33, thereby stabilizing the handle 20 in the storage state, making it convenient for the user to store.

[0043] like Figures 8 to 9 As shown, one of the handle 20 and the mounting groove 11 is provided with a rotating shaft 41, and the other is provided with a rotating groove 42 adapted to the rotation of the rotating shaft 41. The rotation of the handle 20 relative to the upper cover 10 is achieved by the cooperation of the rotating shaft 41 and the rotating groove 42. The structure is simple and easy to process and assemble. Specifically, the upper cover assembly 100 also includes a pressure plate 60 with a groove. The pressure plate 60 covers the opening of the rotating groove 42 and forms an annular hole with the rotating groove 42. The pressure plate 60 can prevent the rotating shaft 41 from dislodging from the rotating groove 42, ensuring the stability and reliability of the connection between the handle 20 and the upper cover 10. Furthermore, the separate arrangement of the pressure plate 60 and the rotating groove 42 also facilitates the disassembly and assembly of the handle 20. The handle 20 has two rotating shafts 41, which are positioned opposite each other on both sides of the handle 20. There are also two rotating grooves 42, which are arranged in a one-to-one correspondence with the rotating shafts 41. The limiting component 30 is located between the two rotating shafts 41. This makes the structure of the handle 20 simple, easy to manufacture and process, and ensures the stability and reliability of the connection between the handle 20 and the top cover 10.

[0044] like Figures 8 to 9As shown, the pivot 41 is mounted on the support 22, and the handle 20 is also provided with an elastic element 43. In the retracted state, the elastic element 43 is in a compressed state. When the limiting element 31 moves away from the stop element 33, the elastic element 43 resets, causing the handle 20 to change to the unfolded state. When it is necessary to unfold the top cover assembly 100 from the closed state to the 90-degree open state or the 180-degree open state, the limiting element 31 is controlled to rise and fall, so that the limiting element 31 moves away from the stop element 33. Under the elastic force of the elastic element 43, the support 22 can automatically rotate relative to the top cover 10, causing the handle 20 to change to the unfolded state, without the user needing to manually control the rotation of the support 22 relative to the top cover 10, thus facilitating user operation. Furthermore, the elastic element 43 can also improve the stability and reliability of the handle 20 in the unfolded state, making it less likely for the handle 20 to rotate in the opposite direction relative to the top cover 10 to the retracted state, thereby improving the stability and reliability of the top cover assembly 100 in the 180-degree open state. Specifically, the elastic element 43 can be a torsion spring, which passes through the fixing pin 44 and is connected to the rotating shaft 41 via the fixing pin 44. The two torsion arms of the torsion spring abut against the bottom wall of the support part 22 and the mounting groove 11, respectively. In the retracted state, the torsion spring is in a torsional state, i.e., a compressed state. Of course, the elastic element 43 can also be a spring, a silicone rubber part, or other elastic components. This embodiment of the present invention does not impose specific limitations on these components.

[0045] like Figure 1 and Figure 9 As shown, in one embodiment, the pivot 41 is located at the end of the support portion 22 away from the force-applying portion 21. When it is necessary to change the handle 20 from the retracted state to the extended state, the limiting member 31 is pressed down first, so that the limiting member 31 moves away from the stop member 33, and the support portion 22 can move from the retracted state along... Figure 1 The handle 20 automatically rotates clockwise relative to the top cover 10, causing it to shift to the unfolded state. When it is necessary to change the handle 20 from the unfolded state to the retracted state, the end of the support part 22 away from the force-applying part 21 abuts against the limiting member 31, stabilizing the limiting member 31 in the pressed position. Therefore, the support part 22 can be directly controlled to rotate clockwise from the unfolded state. Figure 5 The counter-clockwise rotation relative to the top cover 10 causes the handle 20 to shift to the storage position. For example... Figure 7 As shown, when the top cover assembly 100 is in the 180-degree open state, the end of the force-applying part 21 away from the support part 22 can be supported on an external surface such as a desktop or tabletop. Figure 1 The state shown is illustrated when the upper cover assembly 100 is in the closed state and the support portion 22 is in the retracted state. At this time, the upper surface of the upper cover 10 and the upper surface of the support portion 22 both face upwards, while the lower surface of the upper cover 10 and the lower surface of the support portion 22 both face downwards. Figure 5 and Figure 7As shown, in the unfolded state, a set angle α is formed between the lower surface of the support 22 and the upper surface of the cover 10, and the set angle α is within the range of 90 degrees to 105 degrees. The angle α can be any angle within the range of 90 degrees to 105 degrees, such as 90 degrees, 95 degrees, 100 degrees, or 105 degrees. When the cover assembly 100 is in the 180-degree open state, the force applied by the cover 10 to the support 22 prevents the handle 20 from accidentally rotating counterclockwise relative to the cover 10 to the retracted state, thereby further improving the stability and reliability of the handle 20 supporting the cover assembly 100. Furthermore, when the angle α between the upper surface of the support 22 and the upper surface of the cover 10 is less than or equal to 105 degrees, it prevents the handle 20 from rotating too much relative to the cover 10, which would affect the support effect, and also avoids making the length of the handle 20 too large.

[0046] In another embodiment, the pivot 41 is located at the end of the support portion 22 near the force-applying portion 21. When it is necessary to change the handle 20 from the retracted state to the extended state, first pull the limiting member 31 upwards, so that the limiting member 31 moves away from the stop member 33, and the support portion 22 can move from the retracted state along... Figure 1 The handle 20 rotates counterclockwise relative to the top cover 10 to change to the unfolded state; when it is necessary to change the handle 20 from the unfolded state to the retracted state, first pull the limiting member 31 upwards so that the limiting member 31 moves away from the stop member 33, and then control the support part 22 to move from the unfolded state along... Figure 7 Rotating clockwise relative to the top cover 10 causes the handle 20 to retract into a stowed state. When the top cover assembly 100 is in the 180-degree open state, the end of the support portion 22 furthest from the force-applying portion 21 can be supported on an external surface such as a desktop or tabletop. Similarly, in the unfolded state, a predetermined angle α is formed between the lower surface of the support portion 22 and the upper surface of the top cover 10, and the predetermined angle α ranges from 90 degrees to 105 degrees.

[0047] like Figure 2 and Figure 4As shown, the limiting component 30 also includes a reset component 32. One end of the reset component 32 abuts against the limiting component 31, and the other end is located on the upper cover 10. When the upper cover component 100 needs to be unfolded from the closed state to the 90-degree open state or the 180-degree open state, the limiting component 31 is first controlled to rise and fall, so that the limiting component 31 moves away from the stop component 33. The reset component 32 deforms, and then the support part 22 automatically rotates relative to the upper cover 10, so that the handle 20 changes to the unfolded state. In the unfolded state, the stop component 33 can also abut against the limiting component 31 to prevent the limiting component 31 and the reset component 32 from resetting. After use, the support part 22 is controlled to rotate in the opposite direction relative to the upper cover 10, so that the handle 20 changes to the retracted state, so that the stop component 33 moves away from the limiting component 31. The limiting component 31 can automatically reset under the action of the reset component 32, and the limiting component 31 abuts against the stop component 33 again. Therefore, the user does not need to manually control the limiting component 31 to rise and fall and reset and abut against the stop component 33, which is convenient for the user.

[0048] like Figure 2As shown, in one embodiment, the upper cover 10 has a cavity 12, and a limiting member 31 is vertically and movably located in the cavity 12. One end of the resetting member 32 abuts against the limiting member 31, and the other end abuts against the wall of the cavity 12. The cavity 12 can limit the vertical movement range of the limiting member 31, so that the limiting member 31 can always move up and down along the height direction of the upper cover 10, ensuring that the limiting member 31 can accurately abut against the stop member 33. Furthermore, the cavity 12 can be formed directly by slotting into the upper cover 10; or, the upper cover 10 can also include a frame 13, and the frame 13 and the lower surface of the upper cover 10 surround to form the cavity 12. The resetting member 32 can be an elastic element such as a spring, disc spring, or silicone rubber component. At least when the user presses down on the limiting member 31, causing it to move away from the stop member 33, the reset member 32 is in a compressed state and applies an upward elastic force to the limiting member 31. Therefore, when the handle 20 is switched to the retracted state, the limiting member 31 can automatically rise and reset under the action of the elastic force of the reset member 32 and abut against the stop member 33. Furthermore, when the limiting member 31 abuts against the stop member 33, the reset member 32 can also be in a compressed state and apply an upward elastic force to the limiting member 31, ensuring that the limiting member 31 abuts against the stop member 33 stably and reliably, thereby improving the stability and reliability of the handle 20 in the retracted state. Specifically, when the rotating shaft 41 is located at the end of the support portion 22 away from the force-applying portion 21, the cavity 12 can be located below the upper surface of the cover 10, and the two ends of the reset member 32 abut against the lower surface of the limiting member 31 and the bottom wall of the cavity 12, respectively; when the rotating shaft 41 is located at the end of the support portion 22 close to the force-applying portion 21, the cavity 12 can be located above the upper surface of the cover 10, and the two ends of the reset member 32 abut against the upper surface of the limiting member 31 and the top wall of the cavity 12, respectively. Of course, in other embodiments, the two ends of the reset member 32 can also be connected to the limiting member 31 and the lower surface of the cover 10, respectively. At least when the user presses down on the limiting member 31, causing the limiting member 31 to move away from the stop member 33, the reset member 32 is in a stretched state and applies an upward elastic force to the limiting member 31.

[0049] like Figure 1 and Figure 8As shown, the limiting member 31 includes a pressing part 311 and a blocking part 312 connected to the pressing part 311. The blocking part 312 protrudes towards the side near the stop member 33. The resetting member 32 is located between the wall of the cavity 12 and the blocking part 312. The pressing part 311 at least partially protrudes from the cavity 12; the blocking part 312 abuts against the stop member 33. The pressing part 311 at least partially protrudes from the cavity 12 so that the user can control the pressing part 311 to drive the limiting member 31 to move from outside the cavity 12. The pressing part 311 inside the cavity 12 can cooperate with the inner wall of the cavity 12 to limit the movement direction of the limiting member 31, so that the limiting member 31 always moves along the height direction of the upper cover assembly 100, ensuring that the limiting member 31 can accurately abut against the stop member 33. At the same time, the pressing part 311 inside the cavity 12 can also cooperate with the wall of the cavity 12 to limit the range of motion of the resetting member 32, ensuring the deformation effect of the resetting member 32. The abutting part 312 is used to abut against the stop 33, which can be the lower surface of the support part 22 or protrude from the lower surface of the support part 22.

[0050] like Figure 2 As shown, in the retracted state, the abutment portion 312 abuts against the stop member 33, and the overlapping dimension L1 of the abutment is 2mm to 5mm. It should be noted that the overlapping dimension L1 refers to the length of the portion of the abutment portion 312 abutting against the stop member 33 along the length direction of the upper cover assembly 100. L1 can be any dimension within the range of 2mm to 5mm, such as 2mm, 3mm, 4mm, or 5mm, but is preferably 3mm. This increases the contact area between the abutment portion 312 and the stop member 33 in the retracted state, improving the limiting effect of the abutment portion 312 on the stop member 33, thereby improving the stability and reliability of the handle 20 in the retracted state.

[0051] like Figures 3 to 4 As shown, when the limiting member 31 is away from the stop member 33, the gap dimension L2 between the limiting member 31 and the stop member 33 can be 8.7mm. It should be noted that the gap dimension L2 refers to the dimension of the limiting member 31 and the stop member 33 along the height direction of the upper cover assembly 100 when the handle 20 is in the retracted state. In this way, it is possible to prevent the stop member 33 or the support part 22 from interfering with the limiting member 31 when the handle 20 rotates relative to the upper cover 10, thereby allowing the handle 20 to rotate smoothly relative to the upper cover 10.

[0052] like Figure 1 and Figure 7 As shown, this embodiment of the invention also provides a grilling appliance, including a lower housing assembly 200 and the aforementioned upper cover assembly 100, wherein the upper cover assembly 100 is rotatably connected to the lower housing assembly 200. The user can control the upper cover assembly 100 relative to the lower housing assembly 200 using the handle 20. Figure 1 The lid is closed, the lid is open at 90 degrees, and the lid is shown in the following states: Figure 7The handle 20 can switch between the 180-degree open state shown. In the closed state, the handle 20 can be in a retracted state for storing the grilling utensil; in the 90-degree open state or the 180-degree open state, the handle 20 can be rotated relative to the upper cover 10 to the unfolded state for lifting the upper cover, or for stably supporting the upper cover assembly 100 by means of the force application part 21 at the end away from the upper cover 10.

[0053] like Figure 7 As shown, the lower housing assembly 200 also has a support leg 201. In the unfolded state, the distance between the plane where the upper cover 10 and the support leg 201 are located is H1, and the height of the handle 20 protruding from the upper cover 10 is H2, which satisfies: H2-H1≥1mm. Here, H2-H1 can be any size greater than or equal to 1mm, such as 1mm, 2mm, or 3mm. The upper cover assembly 100 also includes an upper baking tray 50 disposed on the lower surface of the upper cover 10. When the support leg 201 and the force-applying part 21 are jointly supported on an external plane such as a tabletop or countertop, the end of the upper baking tray 50 furthest from the upper cover assembly 100 and rotatably connected to the lower housing assembly 200 is higher than the end of the upper baking tray 50 closest to the upper cover assembly 100 and rotatably connected to the lower housing assembly 200. The upper baking tray 50 is tilted downwards towards the lower housing assembly 200, allowing the oil on the upper baking tray 50 to flow along the upper baking tray 50 to the lower housing assembly 200, preventing the oil from flowing to other places and becoming difficult to clean.

[0054] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined in any way. For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

[0055] The embodiments described above are merely illustrative of several implementations of this utility model, and while the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the utility model patent. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this utility model, and these all fall within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model patent should be determined by the appended claims.
