Example

[0025] Please see Figure 1-4 A popcorn machine includes a collection bucket 1, a main body 2, a protective cover 3 and a cover plate 4. The main body 2 is equipped with a heating component, and the cover plate 4 is surrounded by an anti-scalding plate 41. A heat insulation space is formed between the anti-scalding plate 41 and the protective cover 3.

[0026] The anti-scalding plate 41 extends outward from top to bottom, and the anti-scalding plate 41 forms a gap with the protective cover plate by expanding outward, which can prevent the anti-scalding plate 41 from getting too hot.

[0027] The anti-scalding plate 41 is provided with a decorative lace 42, which is located at the edge of the anti-scalding plate 41. The decorative lace 42 can improve the overall aesthetics of the popcorn machine.

[0028] The main body 2 includes a heating device 21 and a discharge port 23. The heating device 21 is provided with a guide plate 22 that is inclined towards the discharge port 23. The guide plate 22 causes the popcorn to flow in a concentrated manner towards the discharge port 23.

[0029] A connecting block 24 is provided at the corner of the main body 2, and the protective cover 3 is detachably connected to the connecting block 24.

[0030] The connecting block 24 is provided with a clamping end 25 and a clamping groove 26. The inner corner of the protective cover 3 is provided with a clamping part 31. The protective cover 3 is inserted between the clamping end 25 and the clamping groove 26 through the clamping part 31 to form a clamping connection. The clamping connection facilitates the assembly and disassembly of the protective cover 3.

[0031] Multiple heat dissipation holes 43 are evenly distributed on the cover plate 4, through which hot air is discharged.

[0032] When the heating device 21 is used to process popcorn, during the popcorn explosion, the popcorn that falls on the guide plate 22 can flow in a directional direction towards the discharge port 23 through the guide plate 22, so that the popcorn can quickly and smoothly pass through the discharge port 23 and fall into the collection bucket 1 below.

[0033] After popcorn making is complete, turn off the heating device 21 and remove the cover plate 4 using the anti-scalding plate 41. The anti-scalding plate 41 has a certain space between it and the protective cover 3 to insulate against heat, which can prevent the temperature of the anti-scalding plate 41 from getting too high. This prevents users from getting burned when they remove the cover plate 4 by grabbing the anti-scalding plate 41, effectively improving the safety of anti-scalding. In addition, the decorative lace 42 on the anti-scalding plate 41 can adopt various shapes, such as wave shape, sawtooth shape, etc., to enhance the aesthetics and recognizability of the product and meet consumers' needs for personalized and aesthetically pleasing appearance of the equipment.

[0034] When the protective cover 3 needs to be separated from the main body 2, simply pull the protective cover 3 outward so that the clamping part 31 is disengaged from the clamping end 25 and the clamping groove 26, which makes it easy for the user to disassemble the equipment for cleaning.

[0035] Those skilled in the art should understand that the embodiments of the present invention described above and shown in the accompanying drawings are merely examples and do not limit the present invention. The purpose of the present invention has been fully and effectively achieved. The functions and structural principles of the present invention have been shown and explained in the embodiments. Without departing from the stated principles, the implementation of the present invention may have any variations or modifications.
