Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of grilling technology, and more specifically to a grill. Background Technology

[0002] Grills typically consist of a base and a lid, with one end of the lid rotatably connected to one end of the base so that the lid can be closed or opened.

[0003] For example, patent application CN117398004A (hereinafter referred to as the prior art) discloses a grill. In this prior art, the base is a lower grill plate and the top cover is an upper grill plate. The prior art mentions that by flipping the upper grill plate relative to the lower grill plate, the upper grill plate can be switched to a first state, a second state, or a third state. The first state is that the upper grill plate is directly above the lower grill plate; the second state is that the upper grill plate is unfolded at an obtuse angle and connected to the lower grill plate; and the third state is that the upper grill plate is unfolded 180 degrees to one end of the lower grill plate.

[0004] When switching the upper grill plate from the first or second state to the third state, the entire upper grill plate needs to be lifted up, making it suspended in the air. At this time, the entire weight of the upper grill plate is supported by the human hand, resulting in the problem of difficulty in switching between different states.

[0005] Therefore, how to improve the difficulty of switching the top cover of the grill between different states remains a technical problem that urgently needs to be solved by those skilled in the art. Utility Model Content

[0006] In view of this, to solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this application provides a grill, which has mutually perpendicular vertical and horizontal directions and front-back directions, with one end in the front-back direction being a pivot end and the other end being an opening and closing end. The grill includes:

[0007] The base has a sliding groove at one end facing the pivot end. The lower edge of the sliding groove forms a first arc-shaped groove, a limiting protrusion, and a second arc-shaped groove arranged in sequence. The bottom end of the second arc-shaped groove is the third end, and the top end of the limiting protrusion is the second end. The portion of the lower edge of the sliding groove between the second end and the third end forms a second guide section. The second guide section is an arc-shaped curved slope section. The portion of the second guide section from the opening of the second arc-shaped groove to the second end gradually curves from bottom to top towards the opening / closing end.

[0008] The upper cover is fitted onto the base in the vertical direction. A rotating component is provided at one end of the upper cover facing the pivot end. The rotating component is movably disposed in the slide groove. The rotating component can be rotatably positioned and supported in the first or second arc groove under the action of gravity, so that the upper cover can rotate relative to the base and switch between different states.

[0009] Beneficial Effects: Unlike existing technologies, in this application, the rotating component can be rotatably positioned and supported in the first or second arc-shaped slot. This allows the rotating component to be supported by the first or second arc-shaped slot when the cover rotates relative to the base to switch its state, thus enabling the cover to switch between multiple states. Therefore, this application has at least the following two beneficial effects: First, during the rotation of the cover, the first or second arc-shaped slot can share some of the cover's weight, allowing the cover to rotate relative to the base with less effort. Second, because the second guide section, from the opening to the second end of the second arc-shaped slot, gradually bends towards the opening / closing end from bottom to top, when the rotating component is in the second arc-shaped slot, pulling the cover towards the opening / closing end allows the rotating component to slide along the second guide section, supported by the second guide section, towards the first arc-shaped slot. This allows the rotating component to slide from the second arc-shaped slot to the first arc-shaped slot with less effort. In summary, this application can improve the problem of the difficulty in switching the top cover of a grill between different states. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0034] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solutions of this application, the application will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this application, and not all of them. Based on the embodiments in this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0035] Furthermore, all directional indications in the embodiments of this application (such as up and down direction H, front and back direction L, left and right direction W, pivot end c1, opening and closing end c2, first side end c3, second side end c4, etc.) are only used to explain the relative positional relationship and movement of each component in a certain specific posture (as shown in the figure). If the specific posture changes, the directional indication will also change accordingly.

[0036] Optionally, in one example, the pivot end c1 is the rear end, the opening end c2 is the front end, the first side end c3 is the left side, and the second side end c4 is the right side. Optionally, in another example, the pivot end c1 is the rear end, the opening end c2 is the front end, the first side end c3 is the right side, and the second side end c4 is the left side.

[0037] Example 1

[0038] Please see Figures 1-11 As shown, the grill 10 has a vertical direction H and a front-back direction L that are perpendicular to each other. One end of the front-back direction L is a pivot end c1, and the other end is an opening and closing end c2. The grill 10 includes a base 100 and a top cover 400.

[0039] The base 100 has a sliding groove 210 at one end facing the pivot end c1. The lower edge a1 of the sliding groove 210 forms a first arcuate groove 211, a limiting protrusion 220, and a second arcuate groove 212 arranged sequentially. The bottom end of the second arcuate groove 212 is the third end B3, and the top end of the limiting protrusion 220 is the second end B2. The portion of the lower edge a1 of the sliding groove 210 between the second end B2 and the third end B3 forms a second guide section b2. The second guide section b2 is an arc-shaped, curved slope. The portion of the second guide section b2 from the opening of the second arcuate groove 212 to the second end B2 (i.e.,...) Figure 5 The lower middle edge a1 (located between point B4 and the second end B2) gradually curves from bottom to top toward the opening / closing end c2.

[0040] The upper cover 400 fits onto the base 100 along the vertical direction H. A rotating member 500 is provided at the end of the upper cover 400 facing the pivot end c1, and the rotating member 500 is movably disposed within the sliding groove 210. The rotating member 500 can be rotatably positioned and supported in the first arc-shaped groove 211 or the second arc-shaped groove 212 under the action of gravity, allowing the upper cover 400 to rotate relative to the base 100 and switch between different states.

[0041] In the above manner, the rotating member 500 can be rotatably positioned and supported in the first arc-shaped slot 211 or the second arc-shaped slot 212. Therefore, when the upper cover 400 rotates relative to the base 100 to switch its state, the first arc-shaped slot 211 or the second arc-shaped slot 212 can support the rotation of the rotating member 500, thereby enabling the upper cover 400 to switch between multiple states. Thus, this application has at least the following two beneficial effects. Firstly, during the rotation of the upper cover 400, the first arc-shaped slot 211 or the second arc-shaped slot 212 can share a portion of the weight of the upper cover 400, allowing the upper cover 400 to rotate relative to the base 100 in a more effortless manner. Secondly, since the portion of the second guide section b2 from the opening of the second arc groove 212 to the second end B2 gradually curves upwards towards the opening / closing end c2, when the rotating member 500 is located in the second arc groove 212 and the end of the upper cover 400 facing the opening / closing end c2 is supported on the base 100, pulling the upper cover 400 towards the side facing the opening / closing end c2 allows the rotating member 500 to slide along the second guide section b2 and slide down towards the first arc groove 211 with the support of the second guide section b2. This allows the rotating member 500 to slide from the second arc groove 212 to the first arc groove 211 in a more effortless manner. In summary, this application can improve the problem of the upper cover 400 of the grill 10 requiring significant effort to switch between different states.

[0042] Among them, combined Figures 1-3 See Figures 6-7 When the rotating component 500 is engaged in the first arc-shaped slot 211, the upper cover 400 rotates relative to the base 100, allowing the upper cover 400 to switch between an upright state and a closed state. When the rotating component 500 is engaged in the second arc-shaped slot 212, the upper cover 400 rotates relative to the base 100, allowing the upper cover 400 to switch to a lying state.

[0043] Optionally, combined Figures 6-7 See Figure 8 As shown, the standing state includes the opening angle of the upper cover 400 relative to the base 100, which is a first angle θ, ranging from 30 degrees to 150 degrees. For example, the first angle θ can be 30 degrees, 45 degrees, 95 degrees, 100 degrees, 105 degrees, or 150 degrees, but is not limited to these. Preferably, the first angle θ is between 100 degrees and 115 degrees. For example, the first angle θ can be 100 degrees, 105 degrees, 110 degrees, or 115 degrees, but is not limited to these.

[0044] Optionally, combined Figures 10-11 See Figure 12As shown, the lying-down state includes the opening angle of the upper cover 400 relative to the base 100 as a second angle β, where the second angle β is 170 degrees to 190 degrees. For example, the second angle β can be 170 degrees, 180 degrees, 185 degrees, or 190 degrees, but is not limited to these.

[0045] Optionally, such as Figures 1-11 As shown, the grill 10 includes a support portion 300 and a pressing portion 600. The support portion 300 is disposed at one end of the base 100 facing the pivot end c1, and the pressing portion 600 is disposed at one end of the upper cover 400 facing the pivot end c1.

[0046] The pressing part 600 can press against the supporting part 300, keeping the opened top cover 400 in its upright position. Combined Figures 1-3 See Figures 10-11 When the rotating part 500 is positioned in the second arc groove 212, the pressing part 600 can avoid the supporting part 300, allowing the opened top cover 400 to rotate to a lying position.

[0047] In this way, when the top cover 400 needs to be switched to the standing position, the rotating component 500 can be rotatably positioned and supported in the first arc-shaped groove 211. Therefore, when the top cover 400 is rotated, the rotating component 500 can be stably supported in the first arc-shaped groove 211. Thus, the first arc-shaped groove 211 can share some of the weight of the top cover 400, allowing the top cover 400 to rotate relative to the base 100 in a more effortless manner. When the top cover 400 needs to be switched to the lying position, the rotating component 500 can be rotatably positioned and supported in the second arc-shaped groove 212. Thus, the second arc-shaped groove 212 can share some of the weight of the top cover 400, allowing the top cover 400 to rotate relative to the base 100 in a more effortless manner.

[0048] Optionally, such as Figures 1-3 As shown, the second arc-shaped groove 212 and the first arc-shaped groove 211 are staggered along the front-back direction L. In this way, when the rotating member 500 switches from the first arc-shaped groove 211 to the second arc-shaped groove 212, it ensures that either the first arc-shaped groove 211 or the second arc-shaped groove 212 can share part of the weight of the cover 400 to save effort, while the pressing part 600 can move along the front-back direction to avoid the support part 300, so that the opened cover 400 can rotate more smoothly to the lying position.

[0049] It should be noted that, in one example, the support portion 300 can be the surface of the base 100 itself, and the pressing portion 600 can be the surface of the top cover 400 itself, but is not limited thereto. In another example, the support portion 300 can be a surface, groove, or protrusion of other structures connected to the base 100, and the pressing portion 600 can be a surface, protrusion, or groove of other structures connected to the top cover 400, but is not limited thereto. In other examples, the support portion 300 can be a structure protruding into the inner wall of the slide groove 210, and the pressing portion 600 can be the inner sidewall of a groove on the rotating body 300 that matches the shape of the protruding structure, but is not limited thereto.

[0050] The area within the slide groove 210 located above the limiting protrusion 220 forms a connecting channel 213. The connecting channel 213 connects the first arc groove 211 and the second arc groove 212 respectively.

[0051] Among them, combined Figure 3 See Figure 2 and Figure 7 As shown, when the rotating component 500 is located in the first arc-shaped groove 211, the limiting protrusion 220 can engage with the rotating component 500 to lock it in place, so that the rotating component 500 can be rotatably locked in the first arc-shaped groove 211. Figure 3 See Figure 11 As shown, when the rotating component 500 is located in the second arc-shaped groove 212, the limiting protrusion 220 can engage with the rotating component 500 to lock it in place, so that the rotating component 500 can be rotatably locked in the second arc-shaped groove 212. Figures 1-3 As shown, when the end of the upper cover 400 facing the pivot end c1 is lifted, it can drive the rotating member 500 to slide along the connecting channel 213 to switch between the first arc groove 211 and the second arc groove 212.

[0052] The above method has at least two beneficial effects. First, when the upper cover 400 is not pulled, the rotating component 500 can be stably locked in the first arc-shaped groove 211 or the second arc-shaped groove 212. Second, since the upper cover 400 can drive the rotating component 500 to slide along the connecting channel 213 when pulled, the switching of the rotating component 500 between the first arc-shaped groove 211 and the second arc-shaped groove 212 can be quickly realized.

[0053] Combination Figures 3-4 See Figure 5 As shown, the lower edge a1 of the slide groove 210 includes a first arc segment a11 and a second arc segment a12 arranged sequentially along the front-rear direction L. The first arc segment a11... Figure 5 The descriptive representation is shown as an arc segment B6B8 connecting points B6 and B8 in sequence, with the second arc segment a12 in... Figure 5The example is represented by an arc segment B7B4 sequentially connecting points B7 and B4. A first arc segment a11 forms a first arc groove 211, and a second arc segment a12 forms a second arc groove 212. The lower edge a1 of the slide groove 210 has a first transition segment a13 extending along the contour of the limiting protrusion 220 and passing through the top of the limiting protrusion 220. The first transition segment a13 connects the first arc segment a11 and the second arc segment a12 respectively. The first transition segment a13 in... Figure 5 An example is represented by the polyline B4B5B6 that connects points B4, B5, and B6 in sequence.

[0054] Optionally, combined Figures 1-4 See Figure 5 As shown, the circle containing the second arc segment a12 is defined as the second circle C. In order to make it easier for the rotating part 500 to switch from the second arc slot 212 to the first arc slot 211, the center O of the second circle C is higher than the second end B2.

[0055] Optionally, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in order to make the switching of the rotating part 500 between the first arc groove 211 and the second arc groove 212 easier, the first arc groove 211 and the second arc groove 212 can be arranged close to each other.

[0056] In one example, the circle containing the first arc segment a11 is designated as the first circle (not shown in the figure), and the circle containing the second arc segment a12 is designated as the second circle C. The first circle and the second circle C are tangent to or intersect each other. It should be noted that although the first circle and the second circle C are not shown to be tangent to or intersect in the figure, in this example, the first circle and the second circle C are tangent to or intersect each other.

[0057] In another example, the adjacent arrangement includes the circle containing the first arc segment a11 as the first circle, the circle containing the second arc segment a12 as the second circle C, and the distance between the centers of the first circle and the second circle C does not exceed the radius of either the first circle or the second circle C.

[0058] It should be noted that in other examples, the first arc-shaped slot 211 and the second arc-shaped slot 212 may not be arranged adjacently. This non-adjacent arrangement includes the circle containing the first arc segment a11 being the first circle, and the circle containing the second arc segment a12 being the second circle C, where the distance between the centers of the first circle and the second circle C exceeds the radius of either the first circle or the second circle. In this case, when the rotating component 500 is positioned in either the first arc-shaped slot 211 or the second arc-shaped slot 212, the stability of the rotating component 500's position is enhanced; however, at the same time, the smoothness of the rotating component 500 switching between the first arc-shaped slot 211 and the second arc-shaped slot 212 is reduced.

[0059] Optionally, combined Figure 3 See Figure 4 and Figure 13 As shown, the bottom end of the first arc groove is the first end B1, the top end of the limiting protrusion 220 is the second end B2, and the bottom end of the second arc groove 212 is the third end B3. The portion of the lower edge a1 of the slide groove 210 located between the first end B1 and the second end B2 forms the first guide section b1.

[0060] Specifically, when the rotating component 500 switches from the first arc-shaped groove 211 to the second arc-shaped groove 212, the first guide section b1 guides the rotating component 500 to move upward, and the second guide section b2 guides the rotating component 500 to move downward. When the rotating component 500 switches from the second arc-shaped groove 212 to the first arc-shaped groove 211, the second guide section b2 guides the rotating component 500 to move upward, and the first guide section b1 guides the rotating component 500 to move downward.

[0061] By using the above method, the first guide segment b1 and the second guide segment b2 can be used in a more effortless way to switch the rotating part 500 between the first arc groove 211 and the second arc groove 212.

[0062] Optionally, combined Figure 1 and Figure 2 See Figure 3 and Figure 4 At least a portion of the first guide segment b1 is formed with an upwardly sloping section extending from the first end B1 to the second end B2, and the second guide segment b2 is formed with an upwardly sloping section extending from the third end B3 to the second end B2. This facilitates rapid switching of the rotating member 500 between the first arc groove 211 and the second arc groove 212.

[0063] Optionally, combined Figure 1 and Figure 2 See Figures 3-5 To make it easier for the rotating component 500 to switch from the second arc groove 212 to the first arc groove 211, the second guide section b2 is composed of a first part and a second part. The first part is the arc-shaped section B3B4 of the second arc section a12 located on the side of the third end B3 near the base 100. The second part is the arc-shaped section B4B2 of the first transition section a13 located on the side of the second end B2 away from the base 100.

[0064] Define the common point B4 of the second arc segment a12 and the first transition segment a13 as the first common point B4, and define the first arc segment a11 as extending around the first axis (not shown in the figure), and define the second arc segment a12 as extending around the second axis (not shown in the figure).

[0065] In this way, when the rotating component 500 is located in the first arc-shaped groove 211, the first arc-shaped groove 211 limits the rotating component 500, so that the rotating component 500 rotates around the first axis. When the rotating component 500 is located in the second arc-shaped groove 212, the second arc-shaped groove 212 can limit the rotating component, so that the rotating component 500 rotates around the second axis. Therefore, when the upper cover 400 is pulled towards the side facing the opening end c2, causing the rotating component 500 to move along the second guide section b2, the contact point between the rotating component 500 and the first transition section a13 moves from the first common point B4 to the second end B2. Furthermore, the slope of the arc-shaped section B4B2 between the first common point B4 and the second end B2 gradually decreases from the first common point B4 to the second end B2, thus allowing the rotating component 500 to slide from the second arc-shaped groove 212 to the first arc-shaped groove 211 in a more effortless manner.

[0066] Optionally, combined Figure 1 and Figure 2 See Figures 3-5 To ensure that the rotating component 500 can naturally fall into the first arc-shaped groove 211 when it slides past the second end B2, the first guide section b1 is composed of a third part, a fourth part, and a fifth part connected sequentially from the first end B1 to the second end B2. The third part is an arc-shaped section B6B1 located on the side of the first end B1 away from the base 100, which is the first arc segment a11. The fourth part is a vertically extending section B5B6 extending in the up-down direction H, and the fifth part is an arc segment B2B5.

[0067] Optionally, combined Figure 1 and Figure 2 See Figures 3-5 The arc segments B4B2 and B2B5 are smoothly connected to form the arc segment B4B2B5 that protrudes into the groove 210. For example, arc segments B4B2 and B2B5 may lie on the same circle, but are not limited to this. In other alternative examples, arc segments B4B2 and B2B5 may lie on the same ellipse.

[0068] Optionally, combined Figures 1-2 See Figures 3-4 To ensure smoother and more stable sliding of the rotating component 500 within the slide groove 210, the upper edge a2 of the slide groove 210 is formed with a first straight segment a21, a second transition segment a22, a second straight segment a23, and a third transition segment a24 arranged in sequence. The end of the first arc segment a11 away from the first transition segment a13 is connected to the end of the second arc segment a12 away from the first transition segment a13 via the first straight segment a21, the second transition segment a22, the second straight segment a23, and the third transition segment a24 in sequence.

[0069] Among them, the second transition segment a22 is an arc segment, the third transition segment a24 includes at least an arc segment, the first straight segment a21 extends along the vertical direction H, and the second straight segment a22 extends along the front-back direction L.

[0070] Optionally, combined Figure 3 See Figure 4 and Figure 13 As shown, the straight line containing the first end B1 and the second end B2 is the first straight line k1. The straight line containing the third end B3 and the second end B2 is the second straight line k2. The preset angle α between the first straight line k1 and the second straight line k2 is 100 degrees to 150 degrees, and the preset angle α is the angle between the region away from the first end B1 and the third end B3.

[0071] The above method has at least two beneficial effects. First, because the preset included angle α is 100 to 150 degrees, the rotating component 500 can slide smoothly along the slide groove 210 when switching between the first arc groove 211 and the second arc groove 212, allowing the rotating component 500 to switch between the first arc groove 211 and the second arc groove 212 with less effort. Second, because the preset included angle α is 100 to 150 degrees, when the rotating component 500 is engaged in the first arc groove 211 or the second arc groove 212, the position of the rotating component 500 is relatively stable and reliable, and it is not easy for it to slide out of the first arc groove 211 or the second arc groove 212 due to external force collision.

[0072] As an example, and not a limitation, the preset included angle α includes, but is not limited to, 100 degrees, 120 degrees, and 150 degrees.

[0073] It should be noted that, in another example, the preset included angle α can be less than 100 degrees, and the preset included angle α is greater than or equal to 0 degrees. When the rotating component 500 is positioned in the first arc groove 211 or the second arc groove 212, the stability of the rotating component 500's position is enhanced; however, the smoothness of the rotating component 500 switching between the first arc groove 211 and the second arc groove 212 is reduced. In another example, the preset included angle α can be greater than 150 degrees, and the preset included angle α is less than 180 degrees. When the rotating component 500 is positioned in the first arc groove 211 or the second arc groove 212, the stability of the rotating component 500's position is reduced; however, the smoothness of the rotating component 500 switching between the first arc groove 211 and the second arc groove 212 is enhanced.

[0074] Optionally, combined Figures 1-2 See Figure 3 and Figure 4 The third end B3 is lower than the second end B2 and higher than the first end B1.

[0075] By employing the above method, since the third end B3 is lower than the second end B2 and higher than the first end B1, at least the following two beneficial effects are achieved. Firstly, when the rotating component 500 is engaged in the second arc-shaped groove 212, its position is more stable and less prone to sliding along the slide groove 210, thus ensuring that the positions of the upper cover 400 and the base 100 remain stable when they are closed. Secondly, when the rotating component 500 is engaged in the second arc-shaped groove 212, lifting the end of the upper cover 400 facing the pivot end c1 makes it easier to move the rotating component 500 out of the second arc-shaped groove 212 and switch it to the first arc-shaped groove 211.

[0076] Optionally, combined Figure 13 See Figure 14 As shown, in one example, the second end B2 and the first end B1 are separated by a first distance d1 along the vertical direction H, and the third end B3 and the second end B2 are separated by a second distance d2 along the vertical direction H.

[0077] In the first example, the first distance d1 is greater than twice the second distance d2, but this is not the only case. In the second example, the first distance d1 is greater than the second distance d2, but the first distance d1 is less than twice the second distance d2, but this is not the only case. In the third example, the first distance d1 is equal to the second distance d2, but this is not the only case.

[0078] Optionally, such as Figures 1-11 As shown, optionally, as Figures 1-3 As shown, the second arc-shaped slot 212 is located on the side of the first arc-shaped slot 211 away from the base 100 along the front-back direction L.

[0079] like Figures 1-6 As shown, when the rotating component 500 is positioned in the first arc-shaped slot 211, the upper cover 400 rotates relative to the base 100, causing the upper cover 400 to switch between an upright state and a closed state. The closed state includes the upper cover 400 being closed to the base 100.

[0080] Combination Figures 1-3 See Figure 10 As shown, when the rotating component 500 is engaged in the second arc-shaped slot 212, the upper cover 400 rotates relative to the base 100, switching the upper cover 400 between a lying state and a ready state (not shown in the ready state diagram). The end of the upper cover 400 facing the opening / closing end c2 is designated as the upper opening / closing end, the end of the base 100 facing the pivot end c1 is designated as the lower pivot end, and the end of the base 100 facing the opening / closing end c2 is designated as the lower opening / closing end. The ready state includes the upper opening / closing end being located between the lower pivot end and the lower opening / closing end and supported on the base 100.

[0081] Among them, such as Figures 1-11As shown, when the upper cover 400 is in the closed state or the ready state, one end of the upper cover 400 facing the pivot end c1 can be lifted and the other end of the upper cover 400 facing the opening end c2 can slide along the base 100, so that the rotating member 500 switches between the first arc groove 211 and the second arc groove 212.

[0082] In the above manner, when the upper cover 400 is in the closed or ready state, when the upper cover 400 is lifted and the end facing the pivot end c1 is driven to move the rotating part 500 along the slide groove 210, the end facing the opening end c2 of the upper cover 400 can be slidably supported on the base 100, so that the base 100 can share part of the weight of the upper cover 400, thereby achieving the purpose of switching the rotating part 500 between the first arc groove 211 and the second arc groove 212 in a labor-saving way.

[0083] Optionally, such as Figure 3 As shown, the slide groove 210 extends from one end near the base 100 to the end away from the base 100 to form an L-shape. The first arc-shaped groove 211 is located at the end of the L-shape near the base 100, and the second arc-shaped groove 212 is located at the end of the L-shape away from the base 100. The second arc-shaped groove 212 is located on the side of the first arc-shaped groove 211 away from the base 100 along the front-back direction L, and the second arc-shaped groove 212 is located above the first arc-shaped groove 211.

[0084] Optionally, combined Figures 1-3 See Figures 6-7 As shown, the grill 10 has a left-right direction W, which is perpendicular to the up-down direction H and the front-back direction L. One end of the left-right direction W is the first side end c3, and the other end is the second side end c4.

[0085] The base 100 has a connector 200 at one end facing the pivot end c1, and a slide groove 210 is provided on the connector 200. A rotating member 500 extends in the left-right direction W, and the end of the rotating member 500 facing the first side end c3 is fixed to the upper cover 400, while the end of the rotating member 500 facing the second side end c4 passes through the slide groove 210. The connection structure including the rotating member 500 and the connector 200 is defined as a first structure 800, and multiple first structures 800 are arranged in the left-right direction W.

[0086] In at least one of the first structures 800, the rotating member 500 is a first rotating member 500a, and a retaining member 910 is detachably provided on one end of the first rotating member 500a facing the second side end c4. The retaining member 910 engages with the side of the connecting member 200 facing the second side end c4.

[0087] In at least one first structure 800, the rotating member 500 is a second rotating member 500b, and a hook 920 is provided at one end of the second rotating member 500b facing the second side end c4. The hook 920 is located at one end of the connector 200 facing the second side end c4 and protrudes from the second rotating member 500b.

[0088] Specifically, when the rotating component 500 rotates, it can drive the latch 920 to rotate, thereby switching the latch 920 between the unlocked state and the limited state. For example... Figures 1-2 As shown, the unlocked state includes the following: when the upper cover 400 is in the closed state, the hook 920 is aligned with the slide groove 210 in the left-right direction W so that when the stop 910 is removed, the hook 920 can move in both directions toward the first side end c3 to exit the slide groove 210. Figure 1 See Figures 6-7 as well as Figures 10-11 As shown, the limiting state includes when the upper cover 400 is in the standing state and the lying state, the hook 920 is at least partially offset from the slide groove 210 in the left-right direction W, so that the hook 920 can engage with the side of the connector 200 facing the second side end c4.

[0089] The disassembly process of the upper cover 400 using the above method can include first switching the upper cover 400 to the closed state, then removing the retaining clip 910 and pushing the upper cover 400 towards the first side end c3 in the left-right direction W. This causes the first rotating component 500a, the second rotating component 500b, and the hook 920 to disengage from their corresponding sliding grooves 210, quickly completing the removal of the upper cover 400. When it is necessary to install the upper cover 400, the disassembly process is reversed. This allows for the rapid removal and installation of the upper cover 400.

[0090] In one example (not shown), the stop 910 can be a plug rod, one end of which is detachably inserted into the corresponding hole in the rotating member 500, and the other end of which protrudes outside the rotating member 500 to engage with the stop of the side of the connector 200 facing the second side c4.

[0091] In another example, the retaining element 910 may be a retaining spring (not shown in the figure), the inner ring of which is detachably engaged in a groove on the outer periphery of the rotating element 500, and the outer ring of which is exposed outside the groove on the outer periphery of the rotating element 500 to engage with the retaining element 200 on the side facing the second side end c4.

[0092] Optionally, combined Figures 1-3 See Figure 16As shown, the upper cover 400 has a connecting arm 710 at one end facing the pivot end c1. The connecting arm 710 includes a first arm portion 711 and a second arm portion 712. The first arm portion 711 is connected to the base 100 and the second arm portion 712 respectively, and the rotating member 500 is disposed on the second arm portion 712. The base 100 has a support block 720 at one end facing the pivot end c1 corresponding to the second arm portion 712.

[0093] When the cover 400 is in the closed state, the first arm 711 is located on the upper side of the support block 720, and the second arm 712 is located on the side of the support block 720 facing the pivot end c1. The pressing part 600 is formed as the plane of the lower end of the second arm 712, and the support part 300 is formed as the plane of the support block 720 facing the pivot end c1.

[0094] The second arm 712 has a clearance ramp 713. When the upper cover 400 is in the closed state, the clearance ramp 713 is located on the side of the second arm 712 closest to the support block 720, and the clearance ramp 713 extends downward from top to bottom in a direction away from the support block 720. The clearance ramp 713 is used to avoid the support block 720 during the process of the upper cover 400 switching from the closed state to the standing state.

[0095] The above method has at least two beneficial effects. First, when the cover 400 is in the closed state, the connecting arm 710 and the support block 720 can be arranged more compactly, resulting in high space utilization. Second, when the cover 400 switches from the closed state to the open state, the avoidance slope 713 can avoid the support block 720 during the switch, so that the plane formed by the subsequent pressing part 600 can properly approach and abut against the plane formed by the support part 300.

[0096] Furthermore, combined Figures 1-3 See Figure 16 As shown, to further avoid abnormal jamming between the inclined surface 713 and the support block 720, when the upper cover 400 is in the closed state, the plane formed by the support part 300 extends downward along the direction close to the base 100. Combined with Figures 6-7 See Figure 9 As shown, when the upper cover 400 is in the upright position, the plane formed by the pressing part 600 and the plane formed by the support part 300 are attached and abutted.

[0097] Optionally, the change in the extension direction of the outer edge a of the slide groove 210 is smoothly transitioned so that the rotating member 500 can slide smoothly along the slide groove 210. The outer edge a of the slide groove 210 may include a lower edge a1 and an upper edge a2. The smooth transition includes forming an arc or other curved surface transition.

[0098] Example 2

[0099] Combination Figures 1-16 See Figures 17-21 Example 2 is derived by further adding feature limitations based on Example 1. Therefore, the parts in Example 2 that are the same as those in Example 1 will not be described in detail. For specific details, please refer to the relevant descriptions in Example 1. The further limitations in Example 2 are as follows.

[0100] Combination Figures 1-16 See Figures 17-21 The upper cover 400 includes an upper baking tray 420 and an upper shell 410, with the upper baking tray 420 disposed within the upper shell 410. The base 100 includes a lower shell 110 and a lower baking tray 120, with the lower baking tray 120 disposed within the lower shell 110.

[0101] When the upper cover 400 is closed on the base 100, the upper baking pan 420 and the lower baking pan 120 form a grilling cavity. The connector 200 and the support 300 are located at one end of the upper baking pan 420 facing the pivot end c1, and the rotating part 500 and the pressing part 600 are located at one end of the lower baking pan 120 facing the pivot end c1. The grill 10 includes a locking rod 930. A first insertion hole 940 is provided at one end of the upper shell 410 facing the pivot end c1, and a second insertion hole 950 is provided at one end of the lower shell 110 facing the pivot end c1. One end of the locking rod 930 is bent and detachably inserted into the first insertion hole 940, and the other end of the locking rod 930 is bent and detachably inserted into the second insertion hole 950, thereby restricting the rotation of the upper cover 400 relative to the base 100 and keeping the upper cover 400 closed on the base 100.

[0102] By removing the locking rod 930 as described above, the upper cover 400 can rotate relative to the base 100, allowing the upper cover 400 to switch between different states. Installing the locking rod 930 ensures the upper cover 400 remains securely closed, facilitating the movement of the grill 10.

[0103] It should be noted that, in other ways, the connector 200 and the support 300 may be provided at one end of the upper shell 410 facing the pivot end c1, and the rotating part 500 and the pressing part 600 may be provided at one end of the lower shell 110 facing the pivot end c1, but are not limited thereto.

[0104] Optionally, the upper shell 410 may be provided with a first buffer pad 430, and the lower shell 110 may be provided with a second buffer pad (not shown). When the upper cover 400 is in the closed state, the first buffer pad 430 is located on the upward-facing side of the upper shell 410, and the second buffer pad is located on the downward-facing side of the lower shell 110. When the upper cover 400 is switched to the lying position, the first buffer pad 430 can abut against the ground to buffer the impact force of the upper cover 400 on the ground. In this way, the noise generated by the upper cover 400 colliding with the ground when it is opened to the lying position can be reduced or avoided.

[0105] The ground plane is the plane used to place and support the grill 10 and is opposite to the downward-facing side of the lower shell 110. The ground plane includes, but is not limited to, the ground, a tabletop, or a kitchen countertop.

[0106] Optionally, the upper cover 400 has a protrusion 440 extending from the end facing the opening / closing end c2. The protrusion 440 has a drive groove 441. The drive groove 441 is located on the side of the protrusion 440 facing the base 100. The drive groove 441 is for inserting a finger to cooperate with a human hand so that the human hand can pull the upper cover 400 towards the end where the opening / closing end c2 is located, so that the rotating member 500 can slide along the second guide section b2 from the second arcuate groove 212 into the first arcuate groove 211.

[0107] In this way, because the grill 10 of this application allows for easier pulling of the top cover 400 by hand, causing the rotating component 500 to slide from the second arc groove 212 to the first arc groove 211, the depth of the drive groove 441 can be made shallower, thereby improving the structural strength of the protrusion 440. This makes the protrusion 440 less prone to breakage, thus increasing its service life. Optionally, the protrusion 440 can be located on the upper shell 410.

[0108] It should be noted that when the rotating component 500 is engaged in the first arc-shaped slot 211, inserting a finger into the drive slot 441 can pull the upper cover 400, causing the upper cover 400 to rotate relative to the base 100, thus switching the upper cover 400 between the upright and closed states. When the rotating component 500 is engaged in the second arc-shaped slot 212, inserting a finger into the drive slot 441 can pull the upper cover 400, causing the upper cover 400 to rotate relative to the base 100, thus switching the upper cover 400 to the lying position.

[0109] Optionally, by pressing the support portion 300 with the pressing part 600 and by pressing the top of the connector 200 with the end of the top cover 400 facing the pivot end c1, the top cover 400, when the rotating member 500 is engaged in the first arc-shaped groove 211, can maintain the upright position. This allows the top cover 400 to be maintained in the upright position more stably. Alternatively, by allowing the pressing part 600 to avoid the support portion 300 and the end of the top cover 400 facing the pivot end c1 to avoid the top of the connector 200, the top cover 400, when the rotating member 500 is engaged in the second arc-shaped groove 212, can rotate to a lying position.

[0110] The above are merely embodiments of this application and do not limit the scope of this patent application. Any equivalent structural or procedural transformations made using the content of this application's specification and drawings, or direct or indirect applications in other related technical fields, are similarly included within the scope of patent protection of this application.
