Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cooking equipment technology, and more specifically, to a cooking device. Background Technology
[0002] For cooking appliances with lids, such as grills, the handles on the lids can be quite inconvenient when storing the appliance, as they take up space. Utility Model Content
[0003] This utility model aims to solve one of the technical problems existing in the prior art or related technologies.
[0004] In view of this, in the first aspect, the present invention proposes a cooking device, comprising: a cooking body; a lid rotatably connected to the cooking body; and a handle connected to the lid, the handle being rotatable between a retracted position and an unfolded position. In the retracted position, the handle rests against the lid, and in the unfolded position, the maximum angle at which the handle unfolds relative to the lid is α, where α satisfies α < 90°.
[0005] The cooking device provided by this utility model has a lid that can rotate relative to the cooking body, allowing the lid to open or close the cooking body. A handle is provided on the lid, and the handle can rotate relative to the lid. When the handle is in the retracted position, it rests against the lid. The handle can rotate from the retracted position to the unfolded position, allowing the user to use the handle in the unfolded position. Because the handle is in the unfolded position, the user can easily apply force to the handle, thus facilitating the pulling of the lid to open the cooking body.
[0006] When users do not need to rotate the lid, they can rest the handle against the lid to avoid interfering with the cooking process. Also, when users need to store the cooking equipment, they can rest the handle against the lid so that the handle does not take up too much space, making it convenient for users to store the cooking equipment.
[0007] The maximum unfolding angle of the handle relative to the cover is less than 90°. This means that when the user pulls the handle up from its folded position, the maximum unfolding angle will not exceed 90°. If the maximum unfolding angle of the handle were not limited, it might rotate 180° and remain pressed against the cover, requiring the user to pull the handle up again, causing inconvenience. Therefore, limiting the maximum unfolding angle of the handle relative to the cover to less than 90° prevents the handle from rotating further when it reaches its maximum unfolding angle, thus avoiding excessive rotation and preventing it from pressing against the cover again, providing greater convenience for the user.
[0008] When a user needs to open the cooking unit, they must first pull the handle. When the handle is rotated to its maximum opening angle, the force applied by the user is transferred to the lid, causing the lid to rotate relative to the cooking unit. In this technical solution, the maximum opening angle of the handle is limited to less than 90°. During the user's pulling process, the handle quickly reaches its maximum opening angle, allowing for rapid lifting of the lid. Conversely, if the maximum opening angle of the handle is greater than or equal to 90°, flipping the lid requires the user to rotate the handle a larger angle, resulting in a longer travel distance to reach the maximum opening angle and making the process less convenient. Therefore, by limiting the maximum opening angle of the handle to less than 90°, the shorter travel distance to reach the maximum opening angle facilitates lid flipping for the user.
[0009] Furthermore, if the maximum unfolding angle of the handle is greater than or equal to 90°, the handle may pull the cover to flip before reaching its maximum unfolding angle during the rotation process. In this case, the handle is not restrained, and it will continue to wobble during the flipping process, leading to instability. However, when the maximum unfolding angle of the handle is less than 90°, further unfolding of the handle is restricted once it reaches its maximum angle, thus restraining the handle. This prevents the handle from wobbling when pulling the cover to flip, improving the stability of the flipped cover.
[0010] In addition, the cooking device according to the above-mentioned technical solution provided by this utility model may also have the following additional technical features:
[0011] In some technical solutions, optionally, when the lid is opened to a set angle relative to the cooking body, the handle at the maximum opening angle is used to support the lid.
[0012] The lid can rotate relative to the cooking body. When the lid rotates to the set angle, it has rotated to the maximum angle or close to the maximum angle. At this time, the handle can be unfolded to support the lid.
[0013] When the lid is rotated to a set angle, if it is not supported, the connection point between the lid and the cooking body will continuously bear the weight of the lid, potentially causing damage to this connection. By supporting the lid with the handle, the connection point does not need to bear the weight of the lid, which helps reduce the damage rate of the cooking equipment.
[0014] For example, the set angle can be 180°. Of course, in other embodiments, the set angle can also be less than 180°, for example, the set angle can be 179° or 175°.
[0015] When the handle supports the cover, the maximum unfolding angle of the handle relative to the cover is less than 90°. By limiting the maximum unfolding angle of the handle, the handle will not rotate excessively, thus allowing the handle to remain stably in the supporting position and ensuring stable support of the handle for the cover.
[0016] Furthermore, since the maximum unfolding angle of the handle is less than 90°, when the cover is flipped over and supported by the handle, the handle's support point is far from the cover's hinge point. The farther the handle's support point is from the cover's hinge point, the longer the lever arm, and the smaller the supporting force required by the handle. This makes the handle's structure less prone to damage, allowing the handle to stably support the cover. Additionally, when the handle supports the cover, the outwardly tilted handle and hinge point form a triangular support-like structure, further enhancing the stability of the support for the cover.
[0017] In some technical solutions, the cooking device may optionally include a limiting component disposed on the lid and the handle, the limiting component being used to limit the maximum unfolding angle of the handle.
[0018] A limiting component is provided between the cover and the handle. The limiting component can limit the maximum opening angle of the handle. When the handle is rotated to the maximum opening angle, the limiting component restricts the handle from rotating further, thereby ensuring that the handle will not rotate excessively. When the cover needs to be opened, the user can easily lift the handle. When the cover is opened to the set angle, the handle can be stably positioned to support the cover.
[0019] In some technical solutions, optionally, the cover is provided with a connecting hole, a part of the handle is inserted into the connecting hole, and the handle is rotatably connected to the connecting hole; the limiting component includes: a first protrusion, provided on the inner wall of the connecting hole; a second protrusion, provided on the handle, the second protrusion is located in the connecting hole, when the handle is at the maximum unfolding angle, the second protrusion abuts against the first protrusion, and the second protrusion is used to limit the maximum unfolding angle of the handle.
[0020] The lid has a connecting hole machined into it. The end of the handle is inserted into the connecting hole and can rotate within the connecting hole, allowing the handle to be retracted or unfolded relative to the lid.
[0021] A first protrusion is provided on the inner wall of the connecting hole, protruding beyond the inner wall of the connecting hole. A second protrusion is provided on the handle. When the handle is rotated from the retracted position to the unfolded position, the second protrusion rotates within the connecting hole. When the second protrusion rotates to one side of the first protrusion, the second protrusion abuts against the first protrusion. At this time, the first protrusion restricts the second protrusion from continuing to rotate within the connecting hole, thereby restricting the handle from continuing to rotate relative to the cover. At this point, the handle is at its maximum unfolded angle. By limiting the first protrusion with the second protrusion, it is ensured that the handle does not rotate excessively. When the cover needs to be opened, the user can easily pull the handle up. When the cover is opened to the set angle, the handle can be stably positioned to support the cover.
[0022] In some technical solutions, the end of the handle may optionally have a groove, and the first protrusion is located in the groove. The groove is used to avoid the first protrusion so that the handle can rotate relative to the first protrusion.
[0023] The handle has a groove at its end, meaning that the handle is not a complete flat surface. The second protrusion is located at the end of the handle, and the groove is formed at the position where the second protrusion is not located at the end of the handle. Before the handle is rotated relative to the cover to the maximum unfolding angle, the first protrusion is located in the groove. At this time, the first protrusion will not interfere with the rotation of the handle, ensuring that the handle can rotate stably relative to the cover.
[0024] In some technical solutions, the limiting component optionally includes: a third protrusion, provided on the outer surface of the cover, wherein when the handle is at the maximum unfolding angle, a portion of the handle abuts against the third protrusion, and the third protrusion is used to limit the maximum unfolding angle of the handle.
[0025] When the handle is rotated from the retracted position to the unfolded position, when part of the handle rotates to one side of the third protrusion, part of the handle rests against the third protrusion. At this point, the third protrusion restricts further rotation of the handle, thus limiting further rotation of the handle relative to the cover. At this point, the handle is at its maximum unfolded angle. By limiting the handle with the third protrusion, excessive rotation of the handle is prevented. When the cover needs to be opened, the user can easily pull the handle up. When the cover is opened to the set angle, the handle can be stably positioned to support the cover.
[0026] The shape of the third protrusion is adapted to the shape of the handle. When the handle rests against the third protrusion, the handle and the third protrusion have a large contact area, thereby ensuring the stability of the third protrusion in limiting the handle.
[0027] In some technical solutions, the third protrusion may optionally be located on the side of the cover, or on the rotation path of the handle.
[0028] Since the third protrusion is located on the rotation path of the handle, when the handle rotates relative to the cover, part of the handle will pass through the third protrusion. At this time, the third protrusion limits the handle and prevents the handle from continuing to rotate relative to the cover.
[0029] In some technical solutions, optionally, when the handle supports the cover, the third protrusion is located on the side of the handle opposite to the cooking body, so that the side of the handle opposite to the cooking body abuts against the third protrusion.
[0030] With part of the handle resting against the third protrusion, the side of the handle away from the cooking body is in contact with the third protrusion. The handle is then pressed against the third protrusion in the direction away from the cooking body. The third protrusion will apply a force to the handle toward the cooking body. In this way, the maximum extension angle of the handle can be less than 90°, avoiding excessive rotation of the handle.
[0031] In some technical solutions, the limiting component may optionally include a fourth protrusion, which is disposed on the handle, and when the handle is at its maximum unfolding angle, the fourth protrusion abuts against the third protrusion.
[0032] A fourth protrusion is provided on the handle. When the handle is rotated to the maximum unfolding angle, one side of the fourth protrusion abuts against the third protrusion. The fourth protrusion restricts the third protrusion from continuing to rotate, thereby restricting the handle from continuing to rotate relative to the cover.
[0033] In one possible application, the shape of the fourth protrusion is adapted to the third protrusion. When the fourth protrusion abuts against the third protrusion, the fourth protrusion and the third protrusion fit tightly together, thereby ensuring that the third protrusion stably limits the handle.
[0034] In some technical solutions, optionally, a receiving groove is provided on the side of the lid away from the cooking body, and the handle is received in the receiving groove in the storage position.
[0035] With the handle in the retracted position, the receiving slot is used to accommodate the handle. At this time, the entire handle is accommodated in the receiving slot, or part of the handle is accommodated in the receiving slot. The handle and the cover have a relatively flat appearance, and the surfaces of the handle and the cover are almost continuous to form a whole. Hiding the handle in the receiving slot makes the overall appearance of the cooking equipment better and helps to improve the user's experience of using the cooking equipment.
[0036] In some technical solutions, the handle may optionally include: a handle body; a protrusion connected to the handle body, wherein in the retracted position, at least a portion of the handle body is located in a receiving groove, the protrusion extends out of the receiving groove, and the protrusion is used to support the lid when the lid is opened to a set angle relative to the cooking body and when the handle is at its maximum unfolded angle.
[0037] When the handle is in the storage position, the entire handle body or part of the handle body is accommodated in the receiving groove, preventing the handle body from protruding too much from the cover and reducing the extra space occupied by the handle body. A protrusion is provided on the handle body, which protrudes from the outer surface of the handle body. In the storage position, the protrusion extends out of the receiving groove, and the user can pull the protrusion to pull the handle body out of the receiving groove for convenient use.
[0038] When the lid is opened to a set angle, the protrusion can support the lid. Thus, the protrusion can both make it easy for users to pull the handle and support the lid, achieving a multi-functional purpose.
[0039] In some technical solutions, optionally, the first side of the lid is rotatably connected to the cooking body, and the first end of the protrusion is connected to the handle body. In the storage position, from the first end of the protrusion to the second end of the protrusion, the protrusion is tilted away from the first side of the lid.
[0040] The first end of the protrusion is connected to the handle body, and the second end of the protrusion is away from the handle body. When the handle is in the retracted position, the protrusion tilts away from the first side of the lid from the first end to the second end. When the lid is opened to a set angle, the lid flips at a certain angle relative to the cooking body, and the handle is located below the lid. When the handle is extended to its maximum extension angle, the protrusion supports the lid. Conversely, when the handle is in the retracted position, the protrusion tilts towards the first side of the lid from the first end to the second end, and the protrusion tends to continue rotating in the extension direction. In this case, the handle is less likely to rotate back to the retracted position, thus ensuring that the protrusion is stably in the supporting position and improving the stability of the protrusion's support for the lid.
[0041] In some technical solutions, optionally, when the lid is opened to a set angle relative to the cooking body and the handle is at its maximum unfolded angle, the distance between the center of gravity of the handle and the first side of the lid is L1, and the distance between the second end of the protrusion and the first side of the lid is L2, satisfying that L1 > L2.
[0042] The second end of the protrusion serves as a support point on the handle. The relative position of the handle's center of gravity and the second end of the protrusion affects the stability of the protrusion's support for the cover. In this technical solution, the distance between the handle's center of gravity and the first side of the cover is relatively large, while the distance between the second end of the protrusion and the second side of the cover is relatively small. That is, the handle's center of gravity is further outward than the support point on the handle, forming an eccentric structure between the handle's center of gravity and the handle's support point. Under these circumstances, the handle tends to rotate in the unfolding direction, and the handle is not easy to rotate in the retracted position, which can ensure that the handle provides stable support when the maximum unfolding angle is less than 90°.
[0043] In some technical solutions, optionally, when the lid is opened to a set angle relative to the cooking body and the handle is at its maximum unfolded angle, the distance between the central axis of the handle and the first side of the lid is L1, and the distance between the second end of the protrusion and the first side of the lid is L2, satisfying that L1 > L2.
[0044] The second end of the protrusion serves as a support point on the handle. The relative position of the handle's central axis and the second end of the protrusion affects the stability of the protrusion's support for the cover. In this technical solution, the distance between the handle's central axis and the first side of the cover is relatively large, while the distance between the second end of the protrusion and the second side of the cover is relatively small. That is, the handle's central axis is further outward than the support point on the handle, forming an eccentric structure between the handle's central axis and the handle's support point. Under these circumstances, the handle tends to rotate in the unfolding direction, and the handle is not easy to rotate in the retracted position, which can ensure that the handle provides stable support when the maximum unfolding angle is less than 90°.
[0045] In some technical solutions, optionally, the first side of the handle body is set away from the cooking body, the second side of the handle body is set away from the first side of the cover, and the protrusion is provided on the first side and / or the second side of the handle body.
[0046] The following is an example illustration with the handle in the storage position. The first side of the handle body is away from the cooking body and is the top of the handle body. The second side of the handle body is away from the first side of the cover and is the side of the handle body.
[0047] When the protrusion is located at the top of the handle body, it lies below the handle body when the cover is opened to a set angle. When the protrusion is located on the side of the handle body, it lies to the side of the handle body when the cover is opened to a set angle. Alternatively, the protrusion can be located at both the top and side of the handle body. These placements improve the stability of the protrusion in supporting the cover.
[0048] In some technical solutions, optionally, when the lid is opened to a set angle relative to the cooking body and the handle is at the maximum unfolded angle, the distance between the center line of the lid and the first side of the lid is L3, satisfying that L2 > L3.
[0049] The distance between the second end of the protrusion and the first side of the cover is relatively large, while the distance between the center line of the cover and the first side of the cover is relatively small. Therefore, the support point on the handle is further outward than the center line of the cover, and the protrusion can provide more stable support for the cover, which is beneficial to improving the stability of the cover after it is flipped over.
[0050] In some technical solutions, the handle body may optionally include a first part and a second part. In the retracted position, the second part is bent toward the cooking body relative to the first part, and a protrusion connects the first part and the second part.
[0051] When the protrusion supports the cover, the handle body is located between the cover and the protrusion. The weight of the cover is applied to the handle body, and then indirectly to the protrusion. To prevent the handle from deforming while providing support, a portion of the handle body is bent. The protrusion is located at the bend in the handle body. The connection between the handle body and the protrusion is the stress point of the handle body. By bending the stress point on the handle body, the handle body is less prone to deformation, improving its structural stability and thus enhancing the stability of the handle's support for the cover.

Detailed Implementation
[0065] To better understand the above-mentioned objectives, features, and advantages of this utility model, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in these embodiments can be combined with each other.
[0066] Many specific details are set forth in the following description in order to provide a full understanding of the present invention. However, the present invention may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein. Therefore, the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.
[0067] The following reference Figures 1 to 9 This invention describes a cooking apparatus provided according to some embodiments of the present invention.
[0068] Combination Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown in the embodiment of this utility model, a cooking device is proposed, including: a cooking body 100, a lid 200 and a handle 300. The lid 200 is rotatably connected to the cooking body 100, and the handle 300 is connected to the lid 200. The handle 300 can rotate between a retracted position and an unfolded position. In the retracted position, the handle 300 is against the lid 200. In the unfolded position, the maximum angle at which the handle 300 is unfolded relative to the lid 200 is α, where α satisfies α < 90°.
[0069] The cooking device provided in this embodiment has a lid 200 that can rotate relative to the cooking body 100, allowing the lid 200 to open or close the cooking body 100. A handle 300 is provided on the lid 200, and the handle 300 can rotate relative to the lid 200. When the handle 300 is in the retracted position, it rests against the lid 200. The handle 300 can rotate from the retracted position to the unfolded position, allowing the user to use the handle 300 in the unfolded position. Because the handle 300 is in the unfolded position, the user can easily apply force to the handle 300, thus facilitating the user to pull the lid 200 to open the cooking body 100.
[0070] When the user does not need to rotate the lid 200, the handle 300 can be placed against the lid 200 to avoid the handle 300 interfering with the user's cooking process. Also, when the user needs to store the cooking equipment, the handle 300 can be placed against the lid 200 without taking up too much space, thus making it convenient for the user to store the cooking equipment.
[0071] The maximum unfolding angle of the handle 300 relative to the cover 200 is less than 90°. This means that when the user pulls the handle 300 up from its folded position, the maximum unfolding angle will not exceed 90°. If the maximum unfolding angle of the handle 300 is not limited, it might rotate 180° and remain pressed against the cover 200, requiring the user to pull it up again, causing inconvenience. Therefore, limiting the maximum unfolding angle of the handle 300 relative to the cover 200 to less than 90° prevents it from rotating further when it reaches its maximum unfolding angle, thus avoiding excessive rotation and preventing it from pressing against the cover 200 again, providing greater convenience for the user.
[0072] For example, α can be 89.5°, 89°, 85°, etc. For instance, if α is 89.5°, the maximum angle at which the handle 300 unfolds relative to the cover 200 is 89.5°.
[0073] When a user needs to open the cooking body 100, they must first pull the handle 300. When the handle 300 rotates to its maximum opening angle, the force applied by the user to the handle 300 acts on the lid 200, causing the lid 200 to rotate relative to the cooking body 100. In this technical solution, the maximum opening angle of the handle 300 is limited to less than 90°. During the user's pulling process, the handle 300 quickly reaches its maximum opening angle, allowing for rapid lifting of the lid 200. Conversely, if the maximum opening angle of the handle 300 is greater than or equal to 90°, flipping the lid 200 requires the user to rotate the handle 300 by a larger angle, resulting in a longer travel distance for the handle 300 to reach its maximum opening angle, making the process of flipping the lid 200 more inconvenient. Therefore, by limiting the maximum opening angle of the handle 300 to less than 90°, the travel distance for the handle 300 to reach its maximum opening angle is shorter, thus facilitating the user's flipping of the lid 200.
[0074] Furthermore, if the maximum unfolding angle of the handle 300 is greater than or equal to 90°, during the rotation of the handle 300, the handle 300 may pull the cover 200 to flip before reaching its maximum unfolding angle. In this case, the handle 300 is not restrained, and it will continue to shake during the flipping process, causing instability. However, when the maximum unfolding angle of the handle 300 is less than 90°, the further unfolding of the handle 300 is restricted when it reaches its maximum unfolding angle, thus restraining the handle 300. When the handle 300 pulls the cover 200 to flip, the handle 300 is less likely to shake, thereby improving the stability of flipping the cover 200.
[0075] Combination Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments, optionally, when the lid 200 is opened to a set angle relative to the cooking body 100, the handle 300 at the maximum unfolding angle is used to support the lid 200.
[0076] The lid 200 can rotate relative to the cooking body 100. When the lid 200 rotates to a set angle, the lid 200 has rotated to the maximum angle or close to the maximum angle. At this time, the handle 300 can be unfolded to support the lid 200.
[0077] When the lid 200 is rotated to a set angle, if the lid 200 is not supported, the connection point between the lid 200 and the cooking body 100 will continuously bear the weight of the lid 200, potentially causing damage to this connection point. By supporting the lid 200 with the handle 300, the connection point between the lid 200 and the cooking body 100 does not need to bear the weight of the lid 200, which helps reduce the damage rate of the cooking equipment.
[0078] The foldable handle 300 proposed in this embodiment can be folded up for easy storage. When the top cover is laid flat at 180°, the handle 300 can be opened to nearly 90° to be used as a support structure.
[0079] The set angle can be 180°. Of course, in other embodiments, the set angle can also be less than 180°, for example, the set angle can be 179° or 175°.
[0080] When the handle 300 supports the cover 200, the maximum unfolding angle of the handle 300 relative to the cover 200 is less than 90°. By limiting the maximum unfolding angle of the handle 300, the handle 300 will not rotate excessively, so that the handle 300 can be stably in the supporting position, ensuring that the handle 300 stably supports the cover 200.
[0081] Furthermore, since the maximum unfolding angle of the handle 300 is less than 90°, when the cover 200 is flipped over and supported by the handle 300, the support point of the handle 300 is far from the hinge point of the cover 200. The farther the support point of the handle 300 is from the hinge point of the cover 200, the longer the lever arm, and the smaller the supporting force required by the handle 300. This makes the structure of the handle 300 less prone to damage, thus allowing the handle 300 to stably support the cover 200. Additionally, when the handle 300 supports the cover 200, the outwardly tilted handle 300 forms a triangular support-like structure with the hinge point, which further enhances the stability of the support for the cover 200.
[0082] Combination Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments, the cooking device may optionally include a limiting component 400, which is disposed on the cover 200 and the handle 300, and is used to limit the maximum unfolding angle of the handle 300.
[0083] A limiting component 400 is provided between the cover 200 and the handle 300. The limiting component 400 can limit the maximum unfolding angle of the handle 300. When the handle 300 is rotated to the maximum unfolding angle, the limiting component 400 restricts the handle 300 from rotating further, thereby ensuring that the handle 300 will not rotate excessively. When the cover 200 needs to be opened, the user can easily lift the handle 300. When the cover 200 is opened to the set angle, the handle 300 can be stably positioned to support the cover 200.
[0084] Combination Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, in some embodiments, optionally, the cover 200 is provided with a connecting hole 210, and a portion of the handle 300 is inserted into the connecting hole 210, with the handle 300 rotatably connected to the connecting hole 210. The limiting component 400 includes: a first protrusion 410 and a second protrusion 420. The first protrusion 410 is disposed on the inner wall of the connecting hole 210, and the second protrusion 420 is disposed on the handle 300. The second protrusion 420 is located inside the connecting hole 210. When the handle 300 is at its maximum unfolding angle, the second protrusion 420 abuts against the first protrusion 410, and the second protrusion 420 is used to limit the maximum unfolding angle of the handle 300.
[0085] A connecting hole 210 is machined into the cover 200. The end of the handle 300 is inserted into the connecting hole 210. The end of the handle 300 can rotate within the connecting hole 210, so that the handle 300 can be stored or unfolded relative to the cover 200.
[0086] A first protrusion 410 is provided on the inner wall of the connecting hole 210, protruding from the inner wall of the connecting hole 210. A second protrusion 420 is provided on the handle 300. When the handle 300 is rotated from the retracted position to the unfolded position, the second protrusion 420 rotates within the connecting hole 210. When the second protrusion 420 rotates to one side of the first protrusion 410, the second protrusion 420 abuts against the first protrusion 410. At this time, the first protrusion 410 restricts the second protrusion 420 from continuing to rotate within the connecting hole 210, thereby restricting the handle 300 from continuing to rotate relative to the cover 200. At this time, the handle 300 is in the position of maximum unfolded angle. The first protrusion 410 is limited by the second protrusion 420 to ensure that the handle 300 does not rotate excessively. When the cover 200 needs to be opened, the user can easily lift the handle 300. When the cover 200 is opened to a set angle, the handle 300 can be stably positioned to support the cover 200.
[0087] In one possible application, the first protrusion 410 is integrally formed on the cover 200, and the second protrusion 420 is integrally formed on the handle 300.
[0088] like Figure 6 As shown, in some embodiments, optionally, the end of the handle 300 is provided with a groove 310, and the first protrusion 410 is located in the groove 310. The groove 310 is used to avoid the first protrusion 410 so that the handle 300 can rotate relative to the first protrusion 410.
[0089] The handle 300 has a groove 310 at its end, meaning that the end of the handle 300 is not a complete flat surface. The second protrusion 420 is provided at the end of the handle 300. The groove 310 is formed at the position where the second protrusion 420 is not provided at the end of the handle 300. Before the handle 300 rotates relative to the cover 200 to the maximum unfolding angle, the first protrusion 410 is located in the groove 310. At this time, the first protrusion 410 will not interfere with the rotation of the handle 300, ensuring that the handle 300 can rotate stably relative to the cover 200.
[0090] Combination Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, in some embodiments, optionally, the limiting component 400 includes: a third protrusion 430, the third protrusion 430 being disposed on the outer surface of the cover 200, and when the handle 300 is at the maximum unfolding angle, a portion of the handle 300 abuts against the third protrusion 430, the third protrusion 430 being used to limit the maximum unfolding angle of the handle 300.
[0091] When the handle 300 rotates from the retracted position to the unfolded position, when a portion of the handle 300 rotates to one side of the third protrusion 430, a portion of the handle 300 abuts against the third protrusion 430. At this time, the third protrusion 430 restricts the handle 300 from continuing to rotate, thereby limiting the handle 300 from continuing to rotate relative to the cover 200. At this time, the handle 300 is in the position of maximum unfolded angle. By limiting the handle 300 through the third protrusion 430, it is ensured that the handle 300 will not rotate excessively. When it is necessary to open the cover 200, the user can easily lift the handle 300. When the cover 200 is opened to the set angle, the handle 300 can be stably positioned to support the cover 200.
[0092] The shape of the third protrusion 430 is adapted to the shape of the handle 300. When the handle 300 abuts against the third protrusion 430, the handle 300 and the third protrusion 430 have a large contact area, thereby ensuring the stability of the third protrusion 430 in limiting the handle 300.
[0093] In one possible application, the third protrusion 430 is integrally formed into the cover 200.
[0094] like Figure 8 As shown, in some embodiments, optionally, the third protrusion 430 is located on the side of the cover 200, and the third protrusion 430 is located on the rotation path of the handle 300.
[0095] Since the third protrusion 430 is located on the rotation path of the handle 300, when the handle 300 rotates relative to the cover 200, a part of the handle 300 will pass through the third protrusion 430. At this time, the third protrusion 430 limits the handle 300 to prevent the handle 300 from continuing to rotate relative to the cover 200.
[0096] Combination Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, in some embodiments, optionally, when the handle 300 supports the cover 200, the third protrusion 430 is located on the side of the handle 300 away from the cooking body 100, so that the side of the handle 300 away from the cooking body 100 abuts against the third protrusion 430.
[0097] When a portion of the handle 300 abuts against the third protrusion 430, the side of the handle 300 facing away from the cooking body 100 is in contact with the third protrusion 430. The handle 300 abuts against the third protrusion 430 in the direction away from the cooking body 100, and the third protrusion 430 applies a force to the handle 300 toward the cooking body 100. In this way, the maximum unfolding angle of the handle 300 can be less than 90°, thus preventing the handle 300 from rotating excessively.
[0098] like Figure 8 As shown, in some embodiments, optionally, the limiting component 400 further includes a fourth protrusion 440, which is disposed on the handle 300. When the handle 300 is at its maximum unfolding angle, the fourth protrusion 440 abuts against the third protrusion 430.
[0099] A fourth protrusion 440 is provided on the handle 300. When the handle 300 is rotated to the maximum unfolding angle, one side of the fourth protrusion 440 abuts against the third protrusion 430. The fourth protrusion 440 restricts the third protrusion 430 from continuing to rotate, thereby restricting the handle 300 from continuing to rotate relative to the cover 200.
[0100] In one possible application, the shape of the fourth protrusion 440 is adapted to the third protrusion 430. When the fourth protrusion 440 abuts against the third protrusion 430, the fourth protrusion 440 and the third protrusion 430 fit tightly together, thereby ensuring that the third protrusion 430 stably limits the handle 300.
[0101] In one possible application, the fourth protrusion 440 is integrally formed into the handle 300.
[0102] Of course, in other embodiments, the solution to limit the maximum unfolding angle of the handle 300 to less than 90° is not limited to the above method. Other boss structures, snap-fit structures, etc., are also possible, as long as they can limit the maximum unfolding angle of the handle 300.
[0103] like Figure 1 As shown, in some embodiments, optionally, a receiving groove 220 is provided on the side of the cover 200 away from the cooking body 100, and the handle 300 is received in the receiving groove 220 in the storage position.
[0104] When the handle 300 is in the retracted position, the receiving groove 220 is used to accommodate the handle 300. At this time, the handle 300 is completely accommodated in the receiving groove 220, or a part of the handle 300 is accommodated in the receiving groove 220. The handle 300 and the cover 200 have a relatively flat appearance. The surfaces of the handle 300 and the cover 200 are approximately continuous and form a whole. Hiding the handle 300 in the receiving groove 220 makes the overall appearance of the cooking equipment better and helps to improve the user's experience of using the cooking equipment.
[0105] Combination Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments, optionally, the handle 300 includes: a handle body 320 and a protrusion 330, the protrusion 330 being connected to the handle body 320. In the retracted position, at least a portion of the handle body 320 is located within the receiving groove 220, the protrusion 330 extends out of the receiving groove 220, the cover 200 is opened to a set angle relative to the cooking body 100, and the protrusion 330 is used to support the cover 200 when the handle 300 is at its maximum unfolded angle.
[0106] When the handle 300 is in the storage position, the entire handle body 320 or part of the handle body 320 is accommodated within the receiving groove 220, preventing the handle body 320 from protruding excessively from the cover 200 and reducing the extra space occupied by the handle body 320. A protrusion 330 is provided on the handle body 320, protruding from the outer surface of the handle body 320. In the storage position, the protrusion 330 protrudes from the receiving groove 220, and the user can pull the protrusion 330 to pull the handle body 320 out of the receiving groove 220, making it convenient for the user to use the handle 300.
[0107] When the cover 200 is opened to a set angle, the protrusion 330 can support the cover 200. Thus, the protrusion 330 can both facilitate the user to pull the handle 300 and support the cover 200, achieving a multi-functional purpose.
[0108] In one possible application, the outer surface of the handle body 320 and the surface of the cover 200 are formed together as a basically continuous surface. Ignoring the existence of gaps between the handle body 320 and the cover 200, the surface formed by the handle body 320 and the cover 200 is a continuous surface. Visually, the two surfaces appear to be a continuous whole.
[0109] like Figure 1 As shown, in some embodiments, optionally, the first side of the cover 200 is rotatably connected to the cooking body 100, the first end of the protrusion 330 is connected to the handle body 320, and in the stored position, from the first end of the protrusion 330 to the second end of the protrusion 330, the protrusion 330 is inclined in a direction away from the first side of the cover 200.
[0110] The first end of the protrusion 330 is connected to the handle body 320, and the second end of the protrusion 330 is away from the handle body 320. When the handle 300 is in the retracted position, from the first end to the second end of the protrusion 330, the protrusion 330 tilts in a direction away from the first side of the lid 200. When the lid 200 is opened to a set angle, the lid 200 is rotated at a certain angle relative to the cooking body 100, at which time the handle 300 is located below the lid 200. When the handle 300 is extended to its maximum extension angle, the protrusion 330 supports the cover 200. In contrast to the case where the handle 300 is in the retracted position, when the protrusion 330 supports the cover 200, from the first end to the second end of the protrusion 330, the protrusion 330 tilts towards the first side of the cover 200. The protrusion 330 tends to continue to rotate in the extension direction. In this case, the handle 300 is less likely to rotate to the retracted position, thereby ensuring that the protrusion 330 is stably in the support position and improving the support stability of the protrusion 330 on the cover 200.
[0111] like Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments, optionally, when the lid 200 is opened to a set angle relative to the cooking body 100 and the handle 300 is at the maximum unfolding angle, the distance between the center of gravity G of the handle 300 and the first side of the lid 200 is L1, and the distance between the second end of the protrusion 330 and the first side of the lid 200 is L2, satisfying that L1 > L2.
[0112] The second end of the protrusion 330 serves as a support point on the handle 300. The relative position of the center of gravity G of the handle 300 and the second end of the protrusion 330 affects the stability of the support provided by the protrusion 330 to the cover 200. In this embodiment, the distance between the center of gravity G of the handle 300 and the first side of the cover 200 is relatively large, while the distance between the second end of the protrusion 330 and the second side of the cover 200 is relatively small. That is, the center of gravity G of the handle 300 is further outward than the support point on the handle 300, and an eccentric structure is formed between the center of gravity G of the handle 300 and the support point of the handle 300. Under these circumstances, the handle 300 tends to rotate in the unfolding direction, and the handle 300 is not easy to rotate in the folded position, which can ensure that the maximum unfolding angle of the handle 300 provides stable support when it is less than 90°.
[0113] One of the limiting structures for the handle 300 is to limit the position of the handle 300 pivot. When the cover 200 is flattened at 180°, the handle 300 opens. The limiting between the second protrusion 420 at the pivot position of the handle 300 and the first protrusion 410 on the cover 200 ensures that the handle 300 will not open to 90°. At this time, the support point of the handle 300 is located behind the center of gravity G of the entire cover 200, ensuring the stability of the support.
[0114] The second limiting structure for the handle 300 is less than 90°. The cover 200 interferes with the limiting structure. The handle 300 is limited to a range of less than 90° by the matching position of the third protrusion 430 on the cover 200 and the handle 300.
[0115] like Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments, optionally, when the lid 200 is opened to a set angle relative to the cooking body 100 and the handle 300 is at the maximum unfolded angle, the distance between the central axis E of the handle 300 and the first side of the lid 200 is L1, and the distance between the second end of the protrusion 330 and the first side of the lid 200 is L2, satisfying that L1 > L2.
[0116] The second end of the protrusion 330 is a support point on the handle 300. The relative position of the central axis E of the handle 300 and the second end of the protrusion 330 affects the support stability of the protrusion 330 on the cover 200. In this embodiment, the distance between the central axis E of the handle 300 and the first side of the cover 200 is large, and the distance between the second end of the protrusion 330 and the second side of the cover 200 is small. That is, the central axis E of the handle 300 is further outward than the support point on the handle 300. An eccentric structure is formed between the central axis E of the handle 300 and the support point of the handle 300. Under these circumstances, the handle 300 tends to rotate in the unfolding direction, and the handle 300 is not easy to rotate in the folded position. This ensures that the maximum unfolding angle of the handle 300 is less than 90° and provides stable support.
[0117] like Figure 1 As shown, in some embodiments, optionally, the first side of the handle body 320 is positioned away from the cooking body 100, the second side of the handle body 320 is positioned away from the first side of the cover 200, and the protrusion 330 is provided on the first side and / or the second side of the handle body 320.
[0118] The following is an example description with the handle 300 in the storage position. The first side of the handle body 320 is away from the cooking body 100 and is the top of the handle body 320. The second side of the handle body 320 is away from the first side of the cover 200 and is the side of the handle body 320.
[0119] When the protrusion 330 is located at the top of the handle body 320, the protrusion 330 is positioned below the handle body 320 when the cover 200 is opened to a set angle. When the protrusion 330 is located on the side of the handle body 320, the protrusion 330 is positioned to the side of the handle body 320 when the cover 200 is opened to a set angle. Of course, the protrusion 330 can also be located at both the top and side of the handle body 320. The above-described positions of the protrusion 330 improve the stability of its support for the cover 200.
[0120] like Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments, optionally, when the lid 200 is opened to a set angle relative to the cooking body 100 and the handle 300 is at the maximum unfolding angle, the distance between the center line F of the lid 200 and the first side of the lid 200 is L3, satisfying that L2 > L3.
[0121] The distance between the second end of the protrusion 330 and the first side of the cover 200 is relatively large, while the distance between the center line F of the cover 200 and the first side of the cover 200 is relatively small. Therefore, the support point on the handle 300 is further outward than the center line F of the cover 200, and the protrusion 330 can support the cover 200 more stably, which is beneficial to improving the stability of the cover 200 after it is flipped over.
[0122] Combination Figure 2 and Figure 9 As shown, in some embodiments, optionally, the handle body 320 includes a first portion 321 and a second portion 322. In the retracted position, the second portion 322 is bent toward the cooking body 100 relative to the first portion 321, and the protrusion 330 is connected to the first portion 321 and the second portion 322.
[0123] When the protrusion 330 supports the cover 200, the handle body 320 is located between the cover 200 and the protrusion 330. The weight of the cover 200 is applied to the handle body 320, and then indirectly to the protrusion 330. To prevent the handle 300 from deforming when it is providing support, a portion of the handle body 320 is bent. The protrusion 330 is located at the bent structure on the handle body 320. The connection point between the handle body 320 and the protrusion 330 is the stress point of the handle body 320. By bending the stress point on the handle body 320, the handle body 320 is less prone to deformation, improving the structural stability of the handle body 320 and thus enhancing the support stability of the handle 300 for the cover 200.
[0124] The first part 321 and the second part 322 are an integral structure. The first part 321 is bent compared to the second part 322. Compared to the flat structure, the handle body 320 with the bent structure has stronger structural stability.
[0125] In this embodiment of the invention, the maximum unfolding angle of the handle 300 relative to the cover 200 is less than 90°. That is, when the user pulls the handle 300 up from its folded position, the maximum unfolding angle of the handle 300 will not exceed 90°. If the maximum unfolding angle of the handle 300 is not limited when unfolding, the handle 300 may rotate 180° and remain against the cover 200, requiring the user to pull the handle 300 up again, causing inconvenience. Therefore, by limiting the maximum unfolding angle of the handle 300 relative to the cover 200 to less than 90°, the handle 300 will not continue to rotate when it reaches its maximum unfolding angle, preventing it from rotating too much and remaining against the cover 200, thus providing convenience for the user. Based on this, the limiting component 400 restricts the handle 300 from rotating further in the maximum unfolded position, thereby ensuring that the handle 300 does not rotate excessively. The tilting direction of the protrusion 330 makes it difficult for the handle 300 to rotate to the storage position. In addition, the relative positional relationship between the center of gravity of the handle 300 and the support point of the handle 300 also makes it difficult for the handle 300 to rotate to the storage position. The setting of the limiting component 400 and the protrusion 330 can ensure that the handle 300 stably supports the cover 200 when the maximum unfolded angle is less than 90°.
