Description

A support structure for kitchen equipment Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the technical field of kitchenware, and in particular to a support structure for kitchen equipment. Background Technology

[0002] A stand mixer is a kitchen appliance primarily used in the production of both Chinese and Western pastries. It features functions such as kneading dough, beating eggs, and mixing. Especially for Western pastries, such as bread making, the dough needs to be kneaded until it forms a membrane to ensure the desired texture after baking. Using a stand mixer significantly reduces the difficulty of cooking and increases the probability of success, making it very popular with users.

[0003] Existing food processors typically include a support structure, a mixing mechanism, and a container. The support structure supports both the mixing mechanism and the container. To position the mixing mechanism above the container for efficient mixing, the support structure generally consists of a base and a support column. The support column is vertically fixed to the base, the mixing mechanism is mounted on top of the support column, and the container is placed on the base directly below the mixing mechanism. However, to create sufficient working space between the mixing mechanism and the container, the connection between the support column and the base occupies a significant amount of space, hindering the storage and transportation of the food processor. This problem urgently needs to be addressed. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To improve the convenience of storing and transporting food processors, this application provides a support structure for kitchen equipment.

[0005] This application provides a support structure for kitchen equipment, which adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] A support structure for a kitchen appliance includes a base, a support column, and a latching mechanism. The support column is vertically and movably inserted through the base. The latching mechanism is located at the connection point between the base and the support column for fixing or releasing the base and the support column. The latching mechanism includes a hook, a locking block, and an adjusting member. The hook is fixedly connected to the bottom of the support column and movably inserted through the base. The locking block is located at the bottom of the base. The adjusting member is located at the bottom of the base for driving the locking block to engage with the hook or driving the locking block away from the hook.

[0007] By adopting the above technical solution, when the kitchen equipment is needed, the hook at the bottom of the support column is vertically inserted into the base, and then the adjusting component drives the locking block to engage with the hook, thus achieving a vertical and fixed connection between the support column and the base. This ensures stable operation of the kitchen equipment. When the kitchen equipment is not needed for storage or transportation, the adjusting component drives the locking block away from the hook, causing the locking block to disengage from the hook. The user can then pull the support column and hook out of the base, reducing the space occupied by the support structure. This improves the convenience of storing and transporting the food processor, and also makes disassembly and assembly quick and easy.

[0008] Preferably, the adjusting component is an adjusting plate, which is rotatably connected to the bottom of the base, and the locking block is fixedly connected to the edge of the adjusting plate. When the support column and the locking hook are vertically inserted into the base, the locking hook is located at the bottom of the base, and the grooves of the locking block and the locking hook are on the same horizontal plane. As the adjusting plate rotates, the locking block passes through the groove of the locking hook.

[0009] By adopting the above technical solution, after the support column and the hook are vertically inserted into the base, the hook is located at the bottom of the base. Then, the adjustment plate is rotated, and the adjustment plate drives the locking block to rotate into the groove of the hook, so that the hook and the locking block are locked together. At this time, the support column and the hook are difficult to detach from the base, thus achieving the supporting function. The adjustment plate drives the locking block away from the groove of the hook, and the hook and the locking block are released from locking. At this time, the support column and the hook can be pulled out from the base, and the support structure can be disassembled to facilitate the storage and transportation of kitchen equipment.

[0010] Preferably, there are two sets of hooks and blocks. The two hooks are symmetrically arranged on opposite sides of the bottom of the support column, and the two blocks are correspondingly arranged on opposite sides of the adjustment plate. The two blocks are symmetrically arranged with respect to the rotation axis of the adjustment plate.

[0011] By adopting the above technical solution, the two sets of hooks and blocks can be used to fix the support column and the base, which helps to improve the stability of the connection and fixation, and thus improves the stability of the kitchen equipment during operation.

[0012] Preferably, the adjustment plate is provided with a handle along its edge, and the handle extends outward from the middle of the adjustment plate.

[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, users can adjust the adjustment plate by rotating the handle, which improves the ease of operation.

[0014] Preferably, the edge of the card block is curved.

[0015] By adopting the above technical solution, since the card block is moved by the rotation of the adjusting plate, the movement path of the card block is an arc, and the edge of the card block is set with an arc surface to facilitate the operation of the card block entering and exiting the card hook groove, which helps to improve the smoothness of operation.

[0016] Preferably, the base has a U-shaped through groove to form a spring piece, the end of the spring piece is provided with a limiting block, and the locking block is provided with a limiting groove that cooperates with the limiting block.

[0017] By adopting the above technical solution, when the card block moves into the groove of the hook, the limiting block enters the limiting groove to achieve the limiting, which helps to improve the stability of the card block when it stays in the groove of the hook.

[0018] Preferably, the surface of the limiting block is spherical.

[0019] By adopting the above technical solution, this setting ensures the stability of the card block in the card hook groove while facilitating the entry and exit of the limiting block in the limiting groove, and the structure is simple and convenient.

[0020] Preferably, the base has a rotating shaft at its bottom, the adjusting plate is sleeved on the rotating shaft, the adjusting plate is movably threaded with a bolt, the bolt moves through the adjusting plate and is threaded into the rotating shaft, and the head of the bolt is coaxially fixedly fitted with a washer, the washer abutting against the adjusting plate.

[0021] By adopting the above technical solution, the adjusting plate is bolted to the bottom of the base and rotated to the base via a rotating shaft. A shim abuts against the adjusting plate to prevent it from detaching from the rotating shaft, which helps to improve the stability of the adjusting plate during rotation.

[0022] In summary, this application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects:

[0023] 1. By setting up hooks, blocks, and adjusting components, when the kitchen equipment is needed, the hook at the bottom of the support column is vertically inserted into the base, and then the adjusting component drives the block to engage with the hook, achieving a vertical and fixed connection between the support column and the base, thus ensuring stable operation of the kitchen equipment. When the kitchen equipment is not needed for storage or transportation, the adjusting component drives the block away from the hook, causing the block to disengage from the hook. The user can then pull the support column and hook out of the base, reducing the space occupied by the support structure, thereby improving the convenience of storage and transportation of the food processor, and making disassembly and assembly quick and easy.

[0024] 2. By setting a handle, users can rotate and adjust the adjustment plate, which improves the ease of operation.

[0025] 3. By opening a U-shaped through groove in the base to form a spring piece, a limiting block is set at the end of the spring piece, and a limiting groove is opened in the corresponding card block to cooperate with the limiting block. When the card block moves into the groove of the hook, the limiting block enters the limiting groove to achieve the limiting, which helps to improve the stability of the card block when it stays in the groove of the hook.

[0033] The present application will be further described in detail below with reference to Figures 1-5.

[0034] This application discloses a support structure for a kitchen appliance. Referring to Figures 1 and 2, it includes a base 1, a support column 2, and a locking mechanism 3. The base 1 is placed horizontally on a table. Pads 12 are fixedly installed at the four corners of the base 1, separating the base 1 from the table and providing elevation and operating space at the bottom of the base 1. The support column 2 is vertically and movably inserted through the base 1 to connect it. The locking mechanism 3 is located at the connection point between the base 1 and the support column 2 to fix or release them. When the locking mechanism 3 fixes the base 1 and support column 2, the user can perform normal stirring operations. When the locking mechanism 3 releases the base 1 and support column 2, they can be disassembled for storage and transportation.

[0035] Referring to Figures 2 and 3, the latching mechanism 3 includes a hook 31, a latching block 32, and an adjusting member. The hook 31 is integrally formed on the bottom of the support column 2 and movably passes through the base 1. The hook 31 has a groove for the latching block 32 to be inserted. The latching block 32 is located at the bottom of the base 1. The adjusting member is located at the bottom of the base 1 and is used to drive the latching block 32 into the groove of the hook 31 or to drive the latching block 32 away from the hook 31. In this embodiment, the adjusting member is set as an adjusting plate 33, which is parallel to the base 1 and rotatably connected to the bottom of the base 1. The latching block 32 is integrally formed on the edge of the adjusting plate 33. When the support column 2 and the hook 31 are vertically inserted into the base 1, the hook 31 is located at the bottom of the base 1, and the grooves of the latching block 32 and the hook 31 are on the same horizontal plane. As the adjusting plate 33 rotates, the latching block 32 passes through the groove of the hook 31. When the locking block 32 moves into the groove of the hook 31 as the adjusting plate 33 rotates, the locking block 32 and the hook 31 are locked together in the vertical direction, making it difficult for the support column 2 to detach from the base 1. This locks together the support column 2 and the base 1, allowing the kitchen equipment to perform normal stirring. When the kitchen equipment needs to be stored or transported, the adjusting plate 33 rotates to disengage the locking block 32 from the groove of the hook 31. The locking block 32 and the hook 31 are released from the vertical direction, and the support column 2 can be pulled out of the base 1, thereby reducing the space occupied by the kitchen equipment during storage or transportation.

[0036] Referring to Figures 3 and 4, a rotating shaft 9 is vertically fixed at the bottom of the base 1. An adjusting plate 33 is rotatably fitted onto the rotating shaft 9. A bolt 10 is movably inserted through the adjusting plate 33 and threaded into the rotating shaft 9. The bolt 10 is threaded into the rotating shaft 9 at the center axis of the rotating shaft 9 to improve the stability of the adjusting plate 33 when rotating around the rotating shaft 9. In addition, a washer 11 is coaxially fixed to the head of the bolt 10, and the washer 11 abuts against the adjusting plate 33 to prevent the adjusting plate 33 from falling off the rotating shaft 9.

[0037] It is worth mentioning that there are two sets of hooks 31 and blocks 32. The two hooks 31 are symmetrically arranged on opposite sides of the bottom of the support column 2, and the two blocks 32 are correspondingly arranged on opposite sides of the adjustment plate 33. The two blocks 32 are symmetrically arranged with respect to the rotation axis of the adjustment plate 33, so as to improve the stability when the support column 2 and the base 1 are locked together.

[0038] Since the locking block 32 is moved by the rotation of the adjusting plate 33, the moving path of the locking block 32 is an arc, and the edge of the locking block 32 is set with an arc surface to facilitate the operation of the locking block 32 entering and exiting the groove of the hook 31, thereby improving the smoothness of operation.

[0039] Referring to Figures 3 and 5, a handle 4 is provided on the edge of the adjustment plate 33. The handle 4 extends outward from the middle position of the adjustment plate 33 to facilitate the user's rotation adjustment operation of the adjustment plate 33.

[0040] Referring to Figures 3 and 4, the base 1 has a U-shaped through groove 5 to form an elongated spring piece 6. Simultaneously, a limiting block 7 protrudes downwards from the end of the spring piece 6. Referring again to Figure 5, the locking block 32 has a corresponding limiting groove 8 that mates with the limiting block 7. When the locking block 32 moves into the groove of the hook 31, the limiting block 7 enters the limiting groove 8 to achieve a limiting position. Without external force, the locking block 32 is unlikely to slide out of the groove of the hook 31, thus improving the stability of the locking block 32 when it remains in the groove of the hook 31. Furthermore, the surface of the limiting block 7 is spherical to facilitate its movement in and out of the limiting groove 8.

[0041] The implementation principle of the support structure for a kitchen appliance according to this application embodiment is as follows: the support column 2 and the hook 31 are vertically inserted into the base 1. The hook 31 is located at the bottom of the base 1. The user rotates the adjustment plate 33 by the handle 4. The adjustment plate 33 rotates to drive the locking block 32 into the groove of the hook 31. At this time, the limiting block 7 and the limiting groove 8 achieve limiting. Without external force, the locking block 32 is difficult to disengage from the groove of the hook 31. The locking block 32 and the hook 31 are locked and fixed in the vertical direction, thereby making the support column 2 vertically fixed. On the base 1, to facilitate normal stirring operation of the kitchen equipment, when the kitchen equipment is not needed for storage or transportation, the user can rotate the adjustment plate 33 again by the handle 4. The adjustment plate 33 rotates to drive the locking block 32 to disengage from the groove of the hook 31. At this time, the locking block 32 and the hook 31 are released from the vertical direction, so that the support column 2 and the hook 31 can be pulled out from the base 1, reducing the space occupied by the support structure, thereby improving the convenience of storage and transportation of the kitchen equipment, and making disassembly and assembly convenient and quick.

[0042] The above are all preferred embodiments of this application, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, all equivalent changes made in accordance with the structure, shape and principle of this application should be covered within the scope of protection of this application.
