Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of kitchen electrical equipment technology, specifically a grilling machine. Background Technology

[0002] Grills are increasingly recognized by consumers for their quick cooking and ease of use, and have become widely used in people's daily lives. People use grills to make steaks, sandwiches, and various other foods. The structure of a typical grill includes a main body and a top cover hinged to it. Both the main body and the top cover have baking pans, which heat the food for grilling. The main body usually has a control panel for user convenience. For example, Chinese patent application CN209202909U, entitled "Grill," has a control panel mounted on the user-facing side of the base; another example is Chinese patent application CN207884907U, entitled "A Thick Film Heating Device and a Grill," which has a control panel mounted on the base on the side of the lower baking pan, and the control panel includes a switch and a display screen; yet another example is Chinese patent application CN208371623U, entitled "A New Type of Grill," where the control panel is located at the end of the lower cover away from the hinge.

[0003] The aforementioned grilling machines have the following drawbacks in actual use: The control panel or operation panel is fixedly connected to the main body of the grilling machine and located on the side of the main body closer to the user. This makes the control panel prone to dust, fingerprints, and oil stains during use, especially the display screen, which can obstruct clear image display and affect the user's visual experience. Furthermore, the fixed connection between the control panel and the main body in these existing grilling machines results in a simple structure, low level of intelligence, and failure to meet users' needs for a high-tech feel. Utility Model Content

[0004] The technical problem to be solved by this application is to overcome the defects of the above-mentioned related technologies and provide a grill that can effectively protect the control panel, is not easy to get the control panel dirty, has a high degree of intelligence, and can meet the user's demand for a sense of technology.

[0005] The technical solution of this application is to provide a grilling machine having the following structure: including...

[0006] The grill body has a mounting cavity, and the surface of the grill body has a window that communicates with the mounting cavity;

[0007] A flip module is rotatably connected within the mounting cavity, and the flip module is equipped with a control panel adapted to the window;

[0008] A drive assembly is connected to the grill body and is connected to the flip module for driving the flip module to flip so that the control panel is exposed by the window or hidden in the mounting cavity.

[0009] In some embodiments, the flip module is provided with a display screen, and the display screen is adapted to the window. The driving component drives the flip module to flip so that the flip module rotates and switches between a first state and a second state. In the first state, the control panel exposes the window, and in the second state, the display screen exposes the window.

[0010] In some embodiments, the flip module is a triangular prism shape, having a first sidewall, a second sidewall, and a third sidewall arranged circumferentially, with the control panel and the display screen respectively disposed on the first sidewall and the second sidewall.

[0011] In some embodiments, the center of each end face of the flipping module is connected to a rotating shaft extending outward along the axial direction. Two support plates are connected inside the mounting cavity, and each of the two support plates is provided with a mounting hole. The rotating shaft of the flipping module is rotatably connected in the two mounting holes.

[0012] In some embodiments, the included angle between the first sidewall and the second sidewall is 55 to 65 degrees.

[0013] In some embodiments, the control panel is configured as a touchscreen.

[0014] In some embodiments, the driving component is a drive motor, and the rotating shaft of the drive motor is connected to the rotating shaft of the flipping module via a transmission connection.

[0015] In some embodiments, the grill body is provided with a flip button for controlling the flip module to flip, and the flip button is electrically connected to the control circuit of the drive motor.

[0016] In some embodiments, a connecting sleeve is fitted onto the rotating shaft at the end of the flip module away from the drive component, and the outer end of the connecting sleeve is provided with a radially protruding elastic hook. When the outer end of the connecting sleeve is inserted into the mounting hole, the elastic hook abuts against the support plate to prevent the connecting sleeve from disengaging from the mounting hole.

[0017] In some embodiments, the third sidewall of the flip module is provided with a wire-passing hole that communicates with the inner cavity of the flip module.

[0018] In summary, compared with related technologies, the grill provided in this application has the following advantages: The grill body has a rotating module rotatably connected within its mounting cavity, and the rotating module is equipped with a control panel. A drive component drives the rotating module to rotate, allowing the control panel to be exposed or hidden within the mounting cavity. Therefore, when the grill is turned on or in use, the drive component drives the rotating module to rotate, exposing the control panel. When the grill is stopped or not in use, the drive component drives the rotating module to rotate, hiding the control panel within the mounting cavity. This effectively protects the control panel and prevents it from getting dirty. Furthermore, the drive component is intelligently or electrically controlled, automatically driving the rotating module to rotate and expose the control panel when the grill is turned on or in use. Therefore, the design of the rotating module and the drive component that drives it enhances the grill's intelligence and meets users' needs for a technologically advanced grill.

[0031] The present application will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0032] See Figures 1 to 7 As shown in the illustration, this application discloses a grilling machine, belonging to kitchen appliances, used for grilling food such as steaks, barbecue, sandwiches, etc. Its structure includes a grilling machine body 1, which includes a base and a top cover. One end of the top cover is hinged to the base, and both the base and the top cover are equipped with grilling trays 2 for grilling food. The grilling machine body 1 is equipped with a control module or control circuit board, power wiring, etc., and the control module is used to control the grilling of food.

[0033] In this embodiment, see Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, a mounting cavity 100 is provided on the base of the grill body 1, and a window 101 communicating with the mounting cavity 100 is provided on the surface of the grill body 1. It can be understood that the mounting cavity 100 is located on the side of the grill body 1 closer to the user, or on the side away from the hinge of the base. Specifically, the mounting cavity 100 is provided on the side of the base closer to the user, and a panel is connected to the mounting cavity 100. The panel and the mounting cavity 100 on the base form a closed cavity, and the panel is provided with a window 101 communicating with the mounting cavity 100. A flip module 3 is rotatably connected inside the mounting cavity 100. The flip module 3 extends along the length direction of the mounting cavity 100 or the window 101, and a control panel 300 is connected to the flip module 3. The control panel 300 is electrically connected to the control module of the grill body 1 through wiring. The control panel 300 rotates and flips synchronously with the flip module 3.

[0034] Further in this embodiment, see Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the center of each end face of the flip module 3 is connected to a rotating shaft 302 extending outward along the axial direction. Two support plates 102 are connected inside the mounting cavity 100, and each support plate 102 has a mounting hole 103. The rotating shafts 302 of the flip module 3 are rotatably connected within the two mounting holes 103. When installing the flip module 3, simply rotate and insert the rotating shafts 302 at both ends of the flip module 3 into the mounting holes 103 of the two support plates 102; the installation is simple and convenient.

[0035] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the grill body 1 is also connected to a drive assembly, which is connected to the flip module 3 for driving the flip module 3 to flip so that the control panel 300 is exposed through the window 101 or hidden in the mounting cavity 100. Therefore, when the grill is turned on or in use, the drive assembly drives the flip module 3 to flip so that the control panel 300 is exposed through the window 101; when the grill is stopped or not in use, the drive assembly drives the flip module 3 to flip so that the control panel 300 is hidden in the mounting cavity 100. This effectively protects the control panel 300 and prevents it from getting dirty.

[0036] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the drive component can be intelligently or electrically controlled. When the machine is turned on or in use, it automatically or manually drives the flip module 3 to flip so that the control panel 300 exposes the window 101. Therefore, the setting of the flip module 3 and the drive component that drives the flip module 3 to flip improves the intelligence level of the grill and can meet the user's demand for creating a technological feel for the grill.

[0037] In this embodiment, the control panel 300 on the flip module 3 is a touch screen. In other embodiments, the control panel 300 can also be a button-type or a button-type operation panel with a display screen, which can be set according to user needs.

[0038] In this embodiment, the driving component for flipping the flipping module 3 is a drive motor 4. The rotating shaft of the drive motor 4 is connected to the rotating shaft 302 of the flipping module 3. The drive motor 4 is used to drive the flipping module 3 to flip. Specifically, the rotating shaft of the drive motor 4 is directly coaxially connected to the rotating shaft 302 of the flipping module 3. The control circuit of the drive motor 4 is electrically connected to the control module of the grill body 1. The control module can control the operation of the drive motor 4 to drive the flipping module 3 to flip, so that the control panel 300 is exposed in the window 101 or hidden in the mounting cavity 100.

[0039] To facilitate user operation of the flip module 3, the main body 1 of the grill is equipped with a switch 500 button and a flip button 5 for controlling the flip module 3. Both the switch 500 button and the flip button 5 are electrically connected to the control circuit of the drive motor 4. In use, pressing the switch 500 button starts the grill, and then pressing the flip button 5 starts the drive motor 4 and drives the flip module 3 to flip, exposing the control panel 300 on the flip module 3 through window 101 for user use.

[0040] In other embodiments, the drive component can also be manually driven, such as by setting a knob or lever on the grill body 1, with the knob or lever being connected to the flipping module for transmission, and using the knob and lever to control the rotation and flipping of the flipping module.

[0041] In some embodiments, a voice recognition module may be provided to control the drive motor 4 using voice commands issued by the user, thereby enabling the flipping module 3 to flip; or a sensor may be provided so that when a user approaches the grill, the sensor detects the approaching user and automatically starts the drive motor to perform the flipping operation.

[0042] Further in this embodiment, see Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, the flip module 3 is equipped with a display screen 301, which is adapted to the window 101. The driving component drives the flip module 3 to flip, allowing it to rotate and switch between a first state and a second state. In the first state, the control panel 300 exposes the window 101, and in the second state, the display screen 301 exposes the window 101. Specifically, the position or plane of the display screen 301 is different from that of the control panel 300. When the driving component drives the flip module 3 to flip to the first state, the control panel 300 exposes the window 101, and the display screen 301 is hidden within the mounting cavity 100. When the driving component drives the flip module 3 to flip to the second state, the display screen 301 exposes the window 101, and the control panel 300 is hidden within the mounting cavity 100. That is, the flip module 3 rotates and switches between the first and second states, causing the control panel 300 and the display screen 301 to rotate and switch. The display screen 301 can be used to display product information, a welcome screen, etc., of the grill.

[0043] For example, see Figure 1 As shown, the flip module 3 is in the first state, and the control panel 300 exposes window 101. (See also...) Figure 2 As shown, when the driving component drives the flip module 3 to flip from the first state to the second state, the flip module 3 rotates downwards, clockwise, or towards the user, so that the control panel 300 is hidden inside the mounting cavity 100, and the display screen 301 is exposed through the window 101; conversely, when the driving component drives the flip module 3 to flip from the second state to the first state, the flip module 3 rotates upwards, counterclockwise, or away from the user, so that the display screen 301 is hidden inside the mounting cavity 100, and the control panel 300 is exposed through the window 101; similarly, in other embodiments, the flip module may also be... When the display screen 301 is in the first state, the window 101 is exposed. When the driving component drives the flip module 3 to flip from the first state to the second state, the flip module 3 rotates downward, clockwise, or towards the user side, so that the display screen 301 is hidden in the mounting cavity 100 and the control panel 300 is exposed through the window 101. Conversely, when the driving component drives the flip module 3 to flip from the second state to the first state, the flip module 3 rotates upward, counterclockwise, or away from the user side, so that the control panel 300 is hidden in the mounting cavity 100 and the display screen 301 is exposed through the window 101.

[0044] Understandably, to better protect the control panel 300 or touchscreen, when the grill is in a stopped or standby state, the display screen 301 is exposed through window 101, while the control panel 300 is hidden within the mounting cavity 100. When the user is using the grill to grill food, pressing the flip button 5 on the grill body 1 activates the drive motor 4, which drives the flip module 3 to flip, exposing the control panel 300 through window 101 and hiding the display screen 301 within the mounting cavity 100.

[0045] It is easy to understand that the user can set the rotation angle of the drive motor 4's rotating shaft through the control program of the drive motor 4 to precisely control the rotation angle of the flip module 3. When the flip module 3 rotates to the first state, the control panel 300 is completely exposed to the window 101. The gap between the outer peripheral wall of the control panel 300 and the inner wall of the window 101 is very small or the two fit together perfectly. When the flip module 3 rotates to the second state, the display screen 301 is completely exposed to the window 101. The gap between the outer peripheral wall of the display screen 301 and the inner wall of the window 101 is very small or the two fit together perfectly.

[0046] Further in this embodiment, see Figure 5 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the flipping module 3 is a triangular prism shape, with a first sidewall 303, a second sidewall 304, and a third sidewall 305 arranged circumferentially. The control panel 300 and the display screen 301 are respectively disposed on the first sidewall 303 and the second sidewall 304. The included angle between the first sidewall 303 and the second sidewall 304 is 55 to 65 degrees. This not only saves space in the mounting cavity 100 inside the grill body 1, but also avoids rotational interference and allows the drive motor 4 to more accurately control the rotation and flipping of the flipping module 3.

[0047] In the aforementioned embodiment, the included angle between any two of the first sidewall 303, the second sidewall 304, and the third sidewall 305 can be set to 60 degrees, meaning that the cross-section of the triangular prism-shaped flip module 3 is approximately an equilateral triangle. With the rotation shaft of the drive motor 4 directly coaxially connected to the rotation shaft 302 of the flip module 3, controlling the rotation shaft of the drive motor 4 to rotate 120 degrees allows the flip module 3 to precisely switch between the display screen 301 and the control panel 300, further improving the flip control accuracy of the flip module 3.

[0048] In some embodiments, the flip module 3 is not limited to a specific shape and can be other shapes, such as a quadrangular prism or a polygon with a V-shaped cross-section, as long as it has at least two sidewalls for the display screen 301 and the control panel 300 to be set respectively.

[0049] In the foregoing embodiments, to facilitate the wiring between the display screen 301 and the control panel 300, see [link to documentation]. Figure 7 As shown, a wire hole 306 communicating with the inner cavity of the flip module 3 is provided on the third side wall 305 of the flip module 3. The connecting wires of the display screen 301 and the control panel 300 can pass through the wire hole 306 and be electrically connected to the control module.

[0050] In order to avoid interference between the flip module 3 and the connection line between the display screen 301 and the control panel 300 when the flip module 3 rotates and flips, in this embodiment, when the drive motor 4 drives the flip module 3 to rotate from the first state to the second state, the drive motor 4 rotates forward, and when the flip module 3 rotates from the second state to the first state, the drive motor 4 rotates in reverse.

[0051] Furthermore, in this embodiment, to make the installation of the flip module 3 simpler and more convenient, see... Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, a connecting sleeve 307 is fitted onto the rotating shaft 302 at the end of the flip module 3 furthest from the drive component. The outer end of the connecting sleeve 307 has a radially protruding elastic hook 308. When the outer end of the connecting sleeve 307 is inserted into the mounting hole 103, the elastic hook 308 abuts against the support plate 102 to prevent the connecting sleeve 307 from disengaging from the mounting hole 103. That is, in this embodiment, when the rotating shaft 302 of the flip module 3 is installed with the mounting hole 103 on the support plate 102, the connecting sleeve 307 is first fitted onto the rotating shaft 302, and then the outer end of the connecting sleeve 307 passes through the mounting hole 103 from the inside to the outside. During the process of passing through the mounting hole 103, the elastic hook 308 is elastically compressed. After passing through the mounting hole 103, the elastic hook 308 elastically resets and abuts against the support plate 102 to prevent the connecting sleeve 307 from disengaging from the mounting hole 103, thereby making the installation of the flip module 3 more stable.

[0052] It is understood that in this embodiment, the flipping module 3 is rotatably connected to the mounting cavity 100 of the base of the grill body 1. In other embodiments, the flipping module 3 can also be rotatably connected to the mounting cavity of the upper cover of the grill body 1. The specific choice can be made according to the needs.
