Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of household appliance technology, and in particular to a baking pan and a waffle maker. Background Technology

[0002] Waffles are a common baked pastry, shaped like a round or rectangular cake with square grids. They are made using a specialized waffle maker. A typical waffle maker consists of two baking pans, an upper pan and a lower pan, forming a space between them. A batter made of flour, eggs, and milk is poured into this space, and after being heated by the high temperatures of the upper and lower pans, a soft and delicious waffle is formed. However, existing waffle makers often use a concave-convex structure to seal the batter between the upper and lower pans, resulting in different structures that are not interchangeable. This increases the manufacturing and maintenance costs of the waffle maker.

[0003] Therefore, there is an urgent need to design a waffle machine to solve the above-mentioned problems in the existing technology. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a baking pan and a waffle maker. The two pans of the baking pan have the same shape and structure and can share a set of molds for production, thereby reducing manufacturing and maintenance costs.

[0005] To achieve this objective, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] A baking pan includes two interlocking pan bodies, with a baking cavity formed between the two pan bodies. The baking cavity is used to contain a paste, and the pan bodies are used to heat the paste in the baking cavity.

[0007] The pan body has a sealing protrusion and a sealing groove arranged around the baking cavity, and the pan body has a central axis, with the sealing protrusion and the sealing groove symmetrically arranged on both sides of the central axis;

[0008] The sealing protrusion of the first disc is inserted into the sealing groove of the second disc, and the sealing protrusion of the second disc is inserted into the sealing groove of the first disc.

[0009] Preferably, the sealing protrusion and the sealing groove are both semi-circular around the baking cavity.

[0010] Preferably, the baking pan further includes an injection head connected to the pan body;

[0011] When the two discs are locked together, an injection channel is formed between the two injection heads, and the injection channel is connected to the baking cavity.

[0012] Preferably, the injection head is symmetrically arranged about the central axis.

[0013] Preferably, the injection head is symmetrically provided with pressure teeth on the side facing the injection channel.

[0014] Preferably, the cross-sectional area of ​​the injection channel gradually decreases along the direction close to the baking cavity.

[0015] The waffle maker, including the baking pan mentioned above, also includes:

[0016] A first housing, wherein one of the discs is fixedly connected to the first housing;

[0017] The second housing is fixedly connected to the other disc body, and the second housing is rotatably connected to the first housing. The rotation of the second housing can cause one of the disc bodies to be directly opposite and engaged with the other disc body.

[0018] Preferably, the first housing is provided with a buckle, and the second housing is provided with a slot. When the two discs are aligned and fastened together, the buckle is engaged in the slot.

[0019] Preferably, the waffle maker further includes a mounting base, and both the first housing and the second housing are disposed on the mounting base.

[0020] Preferably, the mounting base is provided with a handle.

[0021] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0022] The baking pan provided by this utility model includes two interlocking pan bodies, forming a baking cavity between the two pan bodies for accommodating a paste. The pan bodies are used to heat the paste in the baking cavity, thus enabling the baking pan to bake the paste on both sides to make waffles. Because the pan bodies have sealing protrusions and sealing grooves arranged around the baking cavity, and these protrusions and grooves are symmetrical about the central axis, when the two pan bodies are interlocked, the sealing protrusion of the first pan body inserts into the sealing groove of the second pan body, and vice versa. This interlocking fit of the sealing protrusions and grooves positions the two pan bodies, ensuring they are properly installed. Simultaneously, the interlocking fit of the sealing protrusions and grooves seals the baking cavity, preventing leakage of the paste. This baking pan uses two pans of the same shape and structure that interlock to seal a paste and bake waffles. It eliminates the need to design and manufacture two pans with different structures, making it simple to design and easy to assemble, which greatly reduces production and maintenance costs.

[0023] The waffle maker provided in this embodiment uses the aforementioned baking tray and also includes a first housing and a second housing. The two trays of the baking tray are rotated and engaged by the first housing and the second housing to achieve a direct snap-fit, which is simple in structure and easy to operate. The two trays of the baking tray are identical and do not need to be distinguished during assembly, which is simple in structure and easy to assemble. Furthermore, since the two trays are identical, they can share the same set of molds for production, which greatly reduces the manufacturing and subsequent maintenance costs of the waffle maker.

[0035] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, this utility model provides a baking pan, which includes two pan bodies 1 that are interlocked and face each other, forming a baking cavity 11 between the two pan bodies 1. The baking cavity 11 is used to contain a paste, and the pan bodies 1 are used to heat the paste in the baking cavity 11. The pan body 1 has a sealing protrusion 12 and a sealing groove 13 arranged around the baking cavity 11. The pan body 1 has a central axis, and the sealing protrusion 12 and the sealing groove 13 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the central axis. The sealing protrusion 12 of the first pan body 1 is inserted into the sealing groove 13 of the second pan body 1, and the sealing protrusion 12 of the second pan body 1 is inserted into the sealing groove 13 of the first pan body 1.

[0036] In this embodiment, the pan body 1 is a ceramic pan or stainless steel pan with a non-stick coating on the inner surface. The inner surface of the pan body 1 is provided with uniform bumps, and grooves are formed between adjacent bumps, so as to press out the square grid on the surface of the waffle. A baking cavity 11 for accommodating the paste is formed between the two pan bodies 1, and the pan body 1 is used to heat the paste in the baking cavity 11. Therefore, the baking pan can bake the paste on both sides to make waffles. Because the baking cavity 11 is surrounded by a sealing protrusion 12 and a sealing groove 13 on the pan body 1, and the sealing protrusion 12 and sealing groove 13 on the pan body 1 are symmetrical about the central axis, when the two pan bodies 1 are fitted together, the sealing protrusion 12 of the first pan body 1 inserts into the sealing groove 13 of the second pan body 1, and the sealing protrusion 12 of the second pan body 1 inserts into the sealing groove 13 of the first pan body 1. The insertion and engagement of the sealing protrusion 12 and sealing groove 13 can position the two pan bodies 1 to ensure that the two pan bodies 1 are installed in place. At the same time, the mutual insertion and engagement of the sealing protrusion 12 and sealing groove 13 of the two pan bodies 1 can seal the baking cavity 11 to prevent the paste in the baking cavity 11 from leaking out. This baking pan can seal the paste and bake waffles by interlocking two pan bodies 1 of the same shape and structure, without the need to design and produce two pan bodies 1 with different structures. The structure is simple and easy to assemble, which greatly reduces production and maintenance costs. Specifically, the shape of the pan body 1 can be set to a circle, rectangle, or any other shape according to actual needs, as long as it can bake the paste. The shape of the pan body 1 is not limited here. The sealing protrusion 12 on the pan body 1 is provided with a sealing groove 13 at a position symmetrical about the central axis, and the sealing groove 13 on the pan body 1 is provided with a sealing protrusion 12 at a position symmetrical about the central axis. The two pan bodies 1 need to be adjusted so that their central axes are parallel to each other before they are fastened together. Each pan body 1 has an electrically heated copper tube on its outer surface to heat the pan body 1. It can be understood that the two pan bodies 1 have the same shape and structure. When one of the pan bodies 1 is flipped so that the inner surfaces of the two pan bodies 1 are facing each other and the central axes of the two pan bodies 1 are parallel, the two pan bodies 1 can be fastened together, and the sealing protrusion 12 and the sealing groove 13 are inserted one-to-one.

[0037] It should be noted that the sealing protrusions 12 and sealing grooves 13 are continuously and uninterruptedly arranged along the direction around the baking cavity 11 to ensure the sealing effect at all parts of the baking cavity 11.

[0038] The number of sealing protrusions 12 and sealing grooves 13 on the plate 1 can be set according to actual needs, as long as the sealing protrusions 12 and sealing grooves 13 are interlocked to seal the baking cavity 11. For example, the sealing protrusions 12 and sealing grooves 13 are semi-circular around the baking cavity 11; specifically, the plate 1 is circular, and the sealing protrusions 12 and sealing grooves 13 are symmetrically arranged on the edge of the plate 1 about the central axis and extend into semi-circles along the circumference of the plate 1 respectively; when the inner surfaces of the two plates 1 are opposite each other and their central axes are parallel to each other, the sealing protrusions 12 of the first plate 1 are directly opposite the sealing grooves 13 of the second plate 1, and the sealing grooves 13 of the first plate 1 are directly opposite the sealing protrusions 12 of the second plate 1.

[0039] In this embodiment, the sealing groove 13 is an L-shaped semi-groove formed by the bottom plate and side plate of the disc body 1, and the height of the sealing protrusion 12 is not greater than the depth of the sealing groove 13. When the two disc bodies 1 are fastened together, the side wall surface of the sealing protrusion 12 is in contact with the side plate surface of the sealing groove 13, thereby sealing the paste in the baking cavity 11.

[0040] To improve the practicality of this baking pan and facilitate daily use, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the baking pan also includes an injection head 2, which is connected to the pan body 1. When the two pan bodies 1 are locked together, there is an injection channel between the two injection heads 2, which is connected to the baking cavity 11. Specifically, the user can pour the paste to be baked into the baking cavity 11 through the injection channel between the two injection heads 2, which greatly facilitates the operation.

[0041] Specifically, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the injection head 2 is symmetrically arranged about the central axis. Since one of the discs 1 needs to be flipped over and engaged with the inner surface of the other disc 1, the injection head 2 itself is symmetrically arranged about the central axis, which allows the injection heads 2 on the two discs 1 to be aligned and joined together to form an injection channel with openings at both ends along the flow direction of the paste, thereby ensuring that the paste can smoothly and leak-free enter the baking chamber 11.

[0042] This baking tray is used in vertical waffle machines. When using it, the waffle machine needs to be placed vertically. At this time, the surface of the baking tray 1 is perpendicular to the ground, the central axis of the tray 1 is perpendicular to the ground, and the filling channel is also perpendicular to the ground. The user can pour the paste into the filling channel from top to bottom. The paste can automatically flow into the baking cavity 11 under the action of gravity and evenly fill the baking cavity 11. It is simple to operate and convenient to use.

[0043] Furthermore, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, the injection head 2 has symmetrically arranged pressure teeth 3 on the side facing the injection channel. The pressure teeth 3 can divert the paste flowing into the injection channel, allowing the paste to quickly and evenly fill the baking cavity 11. Furthermore, after the waffle is baked, the dough in the injection channel connects with the waffle in the baking cavity 11 to form a single unit. Because the pressure teeth 3 protrude from the side of the injection head 2 facing the injection channel, a thinner weak point is formed at the connection between the dough and the waffle, making it easier for the user to peel the dough from the waffle to create a complete and aesthetically pleasing waffle, greatly improving practicality. Specifically, the injection head 2 has two pressure teeth 3, which are symmetrically arranged about the central axis. When the two discs 1 are aligned and engaged, the pressure teeth 3 on the two discs 1 may or may not contact each other; this is not limited here.

[0044] To facilitate the user in pouring the paste to be baked into the baking cavity 11, such as Figure 1 As shown, the cross-sectional area of ​​the injection channel gradually decreases along the direction close to the baking cavity 11; specifically, the longitudinal section of the injection head 2 is trapezoidal, and the injection channel formed by the two discs 1 being snapped together is a funnel-shaped structure. The user pours the paste through the large opening of the injection channel, which can effectively prevent the paste from overflowing from the injection channel, thereby preventing waste.

[0045] This embodiment also provides a waffle maker, which includes the aforementioned baking tray, and further includes: a first housing and a second housing. One tray 1 is fixedly connected to the first housing, and the other tray 1 is fixedly connected to the second housing. The second housing is rotatably connected to the first housing, and the rotation of the second housing can cause one tray 1 to be directly opposite and engaged with the other tray 1. In this embodiment, the two trays 1 of the baking tray are directly opposite and engaged through the rotational cooperation of the first housing and the second housing. The structure is simple and the operation is convenient. The two trays 1 of the baking tray are identical and do not need to be distinguished during assembly, thus facilitating assembly. Furthermore, since the two trays 1 are identical, they can share the same mold for production, greatly reducing the manufacturing and subsequent maintenance costs of the waffle maker.

[0046] Specifically, the first shell and the second shell are made of heat-insulating plastic that is resistant to high temperatures. The structure and shape of the first shell and the second shell are exactly the same. The first shell covers the outer surface of one of the discs 1, and the second shell covers the outer surface of the other disc 1 to insulate the heat of the discs 1 and prevent burns to the user, thus facilitating daily use.

[0047] Specifically, the first housing is provided with a buckle, and the second housing is provided with a slot. When the two plates 1 are aligned and fastened together, the buckle is engaged in the slot. One end of the first housing and one end of the second housing are hinged together. The other end of the first housing is provided with a buckle, and the other end of the second housing is provided with a slot. During normal use, the user rotates the first housing or the second housing to make the two plates 1 aligned and fastened together. Then, the user engages the buckle on the first housing into the slot on the second housing, thereby keeping the two plates 1 in the aligned and fastened position to achieve continuous and normal heating of the paste in the baking cavity 11.

[0048] Furthermore, the waffle maker also includes a mounting base, with both the first housing and the second housing disposed on the mounting base; in this embodiment, the mounting base has an L-shaped structure, having a vertical plate and a bottom plate, the bottom plate and the vertical plate being integrally formed; the first housing and the second housing are rotatably disposed on the vertical plate, and in use, the bottom plate is placed on the table, and the vertical plate is perpendicular to the ground, resulting in a simple structure and stable placement.

[0049] To further enhance the practicality of the waffle maker, a handle is provided on the mounting base. After using the waffle maker, the user can move it by pulling the handle.

[0050] Obviously, the above embodiments of this utility model are merely examples for clearly illustrating the present utility model, and are not intended to limit the implementation of the present utility model. Those skilled in the art can make various obvious changes, readjustments, and substitutions without departing from the protection scope of this utility model.
