Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of toaster technology, specifically a four-in-one functional toaster. Background Technology
[0002] In the field of modern kitchen appliances, toasters are a common baking tool whose main purpose is to heat and bake bread, making its surface golden and crispy while keeping the inside soft and delicious, providing people with a tasty breakfast or afternoon tea option.
[0003] However, most toasters on the market currently have limited functions, confined to basic bread toasting. They generally lack diverse cooking modes and cannot be flexibly adjusted according to ingredients and user preferences, limiting their potential application in preparing other dishes. Their time control functions are also rudimentary, making it difficult for users to precisely control the baking process. This can easily lead to over- or under-baking when preparing time-sensitive foods. This not only affects the taste and quality of the food but can also result in energy waste and food spoilage. Furthermore, most kitchen cooking requires a separate timer, which is small and easily lost.
[0004] Based on this, a four-in-one toaster is now provided, which can eliminate the drawbacks of existing devices. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a four-in-one toaster to solve the problems in the prior art.

[0023] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.
[0024] Example 1
[0025] In one embodiment, such as Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, a four-in-one toaster includes a housing 1, a top cover 2 on the upper part of the housing 1, a control panel back cover 3 on one side of the housing 1, a control panel PCB 4 on one side of the control panel back cover 3, a control screen 5 on one side of the control panel PCB 4, a colored film 6 on the control screen 5, and a light shield 7 on the colored film 6. The control panel PCB 4 has a cooking mode selection module 41, a clock module 42, a timer module 43, and an alarm clock module 44. The cooking mode selection module 41, clock module 42, timer module 43, and alarm clock module 44 are arranged horizontally at equal intervals on the control panel PCB 4. In use, the cooking mode selection module 41, clock module 42, timer module 43, and alarm clock module 44 allow the user to use the toaster to time other cooking tasks, adding functionality to the toaster. At the same time, the toaster allows the user to select the appropriate cooking mode as needed and accurately control the cooking time, and the user is less likely to lose track of the independent kitchen timer.
[0026] In one embodiment, such as Figure 2 As shown, a bread tray 8 is provided inside the outer shell 1, a base 9 is provided at the lower end of the bread tray 8, a power board PCB 10 is provided on one side of the bread tray 8, and a manual lifting component is provided above the power board PCB 10. When in use, food is placed on the bread tray 8, and then the food is lowered to the heating area by the manual lifting component.
[0027] In one embodiment, such as Figure 2As shown, the manual lifting assembly includes a fixed shaft 16 fixed to one side of the bread tray 8. A lifting frame 11 is slidably mounted on the fixed shaft 16. A tension spring 14 is provided at the upper end of the lifting frame 11, and a magnetic suction piece 12 is provided at the lower end of the lifting frame 11. A switch pressure block 13 is provided on one side of the lifting frame 11, and a pressing part 15 is provided on one side of the lifting frame 11. In use, pressing the pressing part 15 causes the lifting frame 11 to descend, so that the magnetic suction piece 12 is magnetically connected to the electromagnet at the lower end. At the same time, the switch pressure block 13 presses the switch to start the heating module and heat the food. When heating is completed, the switch automatically cuts off the power, releasing the magnetic suction piece 12 from the electromagnet at the lower end. Under the action of the tension spring 14, the lifting frame 11 lifts the food upward.
[0028] In one embodiment, such as Figure 1 As shown, the outer casing 1, top cover 2, and control panel back cover 3 are all connected by snap-fit connections, which facilitates the disassembly, assembly, and maintenance of the device.
[0029] In one embodiment, such as Figure 2 As shown, the base 9 and the bread tray 8 are connected by bolts, which facilitates the assembly and disassembly of the base 9.
[0030] The above embodiment discloses a four-in-one toaster. In use, food is placed on bread tray 8, and a suitable cooking mode and cooking time are selected through the function module on the control panel PCB4. Then, by pressing the pressing part 15, the lifting frame 11 is lowered, so that the magnetic suction plate 12 is magnetically connected to the electromagnet at the lower end. At the same time, the switch block 13 presses the switch to start the heating module to heat the food. When heating is completed, the switch automatically turns off the power, releasing the magnetic suction plate 12 from the electromagnet at the lower end. Under the action of the tension spring 14, the lifting frame 11 lifts the food upward.
[0031] Example 2
[0032] The difference from Example 1 is that, as Figure 4 As shown, in order to facilitate user operation and provide a better cooking experience, the lifting rack 11 is provided with a horizontal slide 22. A connecting roller 21 is slidably installed in the horizontal slide 22. One end of the connecting roller 21 is connected to an electric lifting component. The electric lifting component includes a motor bracket 18 installed on one side of the bread tray 8. A motor 17 is installed on the motor bracket 18. A micro switch 19 is installed on one side of the motor 17. The output end of the motor 17 is connected to the connecting roller 21 through a linkage component. The linkage component includes a crank cam 20 connected to the output end of the motor 17. The crank cam 20 is located on the side of the motor bracket 18 opposite to the motor 17. One end of the crank on the crank cam 20 is rotatably connected to the connecting roller 21.
[0033] The above description is merely a specific embodiment of this application, but the scope of protection of this application is not limited thereto. Any variations or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in this application should be included within the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, the scope of protection of this application should be determined by the scope of the claims.
