[0049] To further illustrate the technical means and effects adopted by this utility model in order to achieve the intended utility model purpose, the following detailed description of the specific implementation methods, structure, features and effects of this utility model is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and preferred embodiments.

[0050] like Figure 1-14 As shown in the figure, this embodiment discloses a grill pan rotating structure.

[0051] A grill pan rotating structure includes two grill pan assemblies 100 that can open to each other, and a rotating seat 200 that hinges the two grill pan assemblies 100.

[0052] A rotating rod assembly 500 is provided on the rotating seat 200. The rotating rod assembly 500 is limited to the baking tray assembly 100 and has a locked state and an unlocked state relative to the rotating seat 200.

[0053] The rotating base 200 is provided with an unlocking button 300 that can be operated by hand. The unlocking button 300 can drive the rotating rod assembly 500 from the locked state to the unlocked state.

[0054] The above is the basic scheme of this embodiment.

[0055] Specific reference Figures 1-3As shown, the rotating sides of the two baking pan assemblies 100 are mounted on the rotating base 200 via the rotating rod assembly 500, so that the baking pan assembly 100 can rotate relative to the rotating base 200. When the two baking pan assemblies 100 are opened to each other, the maximum opening angle is 180 degrees, that is, the grilling surfaces of the two baking pan assemblies 100 are on the same plane, and the user can grill different foods on the two grilling surfaces.

[0056] In this embodiment, the user may also open both baking pan assemblies 100, but only use one baking pan assembly 100 for frying or grilling food.

[0057] When the two baking tray components 100 are closed together, they both rotate 90 degrees relative to the rotating base 200, and the two baking tray components 100 rotate in opposite directions, so that the two grilling surfaces rotate relative to each other until they are closed and in a stowed state.

[0058] In this embodiment, the two baking pan assemblies 100 are each equipped with independent heating components and control components, and the user can control one of the baking pan assemblies 100 individually.

[0059] When the two baking tray assemblies 100 are in the unfolded or retracted state, the rotating rod assembly 500 is locked relative to the rotating base 200, preventing the user from directly rotating the baking tray assembly 100, thus keeping the baking tray assembly 100 in the set position. When it is necessary to change the position of the baking tray assembly 100, the user operates the unlocking button 300, which drives the rotating rod assembly 500, changing it from the locked state to the unlocked state. At this time, the rotating rod assembly 500 and the rotating base 200 are unlocked, and the user can operate the baking tray assembly 100 to rotate it.

[0060] In this embodiment, a handle is provided on the outer side (the side opposite to the rotating side) of the two baking tray assemblies 100, and magnetic suction members 3 are provided on the handle. When the two baking tray assemblies 100 are in the closed state, the two magnetic suction members 3 attract each other and attract the two baking tray assemblies 100 together.

[0061] Specific reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in the unfolded state, the two handles are located on both sides of the grill, allowing the user to move the grill without changing its state. In the folded state, the two baking tray assemblies 100 are vertical relative to the rotating base 200, with the handles at the top, allowing the user to lift the grill and store it in a cabinet.

[0062] Specifically, the rotating rod assembly 500 includes a connecting rod 510 and a locking block 520 disposed on the connecting rod 510, wherein the locking block 520 is provided with a locking head 521;

[0063] The rotating base 200 is provided with a locking groove 201.1 that cooperates with the locking head 521 for locking;

[0064] The unlocking button 300 can drive the locking head 521 out of the locking groove 201.1.

[0065] Reference Figure 4 As shown, the rotating base 200 has a locking plate 210 inside, and the rotating base 200 has a through hole that also passes through the locking plate 210, forming a through hole 201 on the locking plate 210; the rotating rod assembly 500 is located in the through hole, and one end is connected to the unlocking button 300, and the inner side is connected to the baking tray assembly 100.

[0066] The locking groove 201.1 extends and is provided at the edge of the through hole 201 of the locking plate 210, and connects with the through hole 201.

[0067] The locking block 520 can pass through the through hole 201, and the locking head 521 passes through the locking groove 201.1. However, when the locking block 520 and the locking head 521 are located in the through hole 201 and the locking groove 201.1 respectively, the locking block 520 cannot rotate relative to the locking plate 210. Therefore, the rotating rod assembly 500 cannot rotate relative to the rotating seat 200, thereby forming a lock between the baking tray assembly 100 and the rotating seat 200.

[0068] To accommodate the two positions of the baking tray assembly 100, in this embodiment, two locking grooves 201.1 are provided, which are set at 90 degrees, one connected to the top of the through hole 201 and the other connected to the side of the through hole 201.

[0069] Specific reference Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, when the two baking tray assemblies 100 are in the unfolded state, the locking head 521 is located in the locking groove 201.1 at the top of the through hole 201; when the two baking tray assemblies 100 are in the retracted state, the locking head 521 is located in the locking groove 201.1 on the side of the through hole 201.

[0070] To ensure consistency between the baking pan assembly 100 and the rotating rod assembly 500, in this embodiment, the baking pan assembly 100 is provided with a connecting part that limits the rotating rod assembly 500, and the connecting part and the rotating rod assembly 500 are limited together.

[0071] Specific reference Figure 7 As shown, in this embodiment, the connecting part is a connecting sleeve 110 extending on the rotating side of the baking pan assembly 100. A portion of the rotating rod assembly 500 can extend into the connecting sleeve 110 and form a limit with the connecting sleeve 110, so that the connecting sleeve 110 and the rotating rod assembly 500 move synchronously.

[0072] Preferably, the connecting part is provided with a limiting groove 111 that can cooperate with the locking head 521.

[0073] Specific reference Figure 8 As shown, a limiting groove 111 is provided on the edge of the connecting sleeve 110 along the axial direction. A part of the rotating rod assembly 500 extends into the connecting sleeve 110 until the locking block 520 is located at the edge of the connecting sleeve 110, so that the locking head 521 is engaged in the limiting groove 111, thereby preventing the locking block 520 from rotating relative to the connecting sleeve 110, thus achieving the limiting between the rotating rod assembly 500 and the baking tray assembly 100.

[0074] In this embodiment, the rotating seat 200 is also provided with a stroke groove 202.1, which is used to limit the movement of the baking tray assembly 100.

[0075] Specifically, a limiting protrusion 112 is provided on the outer periphery of the connecting sleeve 110 on the baking tray assembly 100. The limiting protrusion 112 is positioned to cooperate with the stroke groove 202.1, slides along the stroke groove 202.1, and is confined within the stroke groove 202.1, thereby limiting the rotation angle of the connecting sleeve 110.

[0076] Specific reference Figure 9 As shown, in this embodiment, the release hole 202 is also part of the through hole, which is located on the inner end face of the rotating seat 200. That is, the unlocking button 300 drives the locking block 520 to move inward (towards the side near the baking tray assembly 100), so that the locking block 520 enters the release hole 202.

[0077] The travel groove 202.1 extends to the edge of the release hole 202 and can accommodate the rotation of the limiting protrusion 112.

[0078] Preferably, in this embodiment, the travel groove 202.1 is an arc-shaped groove, and its inner diameter is not less than the diameter of the outermost end of the locking head 521.

[0079] The inner diameter of the travel groove 202.1 is not less than the outer diameter of the outermost end of the limiting protrusion 112, so that the limiting protrusion 112 can rotate within the travel groove 202.1.

[0080] Specific reference Figure 10 and Figure 11 As shown, the two ends of the travel groove 202.1 are the unfolding end and the retracting end. When the two baking tray assemblies 100 are in the unfolded state, the two limiting protrusions 112 are respectively located at the unfolding end of the two travel grooves 202.1; when the two baking tray assemblies 100 are in the closed state, the two limiting protrusions 112 are respectively located at the retracting end of the two travel grooves 202.1.

[0081] When limiting the locking block 520 and the locking groove 201.1, in order to ensure that the locking head 521 can enter the locking groove 201.1, the width of the locking groove 201.1 is usually slightly larger than the width of the locking head 521.1. Therefore, even when the locking head 521 is engaged in the locking groove 201.1, the baking tray assembly 100 can still wobble relative to the rotating seat 200 and is not completely locked. Under this design, when the two baking tray assemblies 100 are closed for storage, although the magnetic parts 3 on the two baking tray assemblies 100 are attracted together to form a fixed whole, the two closed baking tray assemblies 100 will still wobble relative to the rotating seat 200, resulting in unstable storage.

[0082] In this embodiment, a travel groove 202.1 is provided to limit the baking tray assembly 100. In the stored state, the two limiting protrusions 112 are respectively limited by the storage end of the corresponding travel groove 202.1. That is to say, after the two baking tray assemblies 100 are closed, they are respectively limited by the storage ends on both sides, thereby preventing the baking tray assembly 100 from shaking and ensuring the stability of storage. See the specific reference. Figure 12 As shown.

[0083] In this embodiment, the connecting sleeve 110 extends into the rotating seat 200. To limit the axial movement of the connecting sleeve 110, a retaining ring 2 is fitted onto the connecting sleeve 110. An annular groove that mates with the inner ring of the retaining ring 2 is provided on the outer periphery of the connecting sleeve 110, thus limiting the fit of the retaining ring 2 onto the connecting sleeve 110. Simultaneously, the outer diameter of the retaining ring 2 is larger than the diameter of the through hole 201 on the locking plate 210, thereby limiting the connection between the connecting sleeve 110 and the locking plate 210. See [specific details omitted]. Figure 4 and Figure 8 As shown.

[0084] After the baking pan assembly 100 has rotated, the user releases the unlock button 300, and the rotating rod assembly 500 automatically resets to the locked state. In this embodiment, the rotating rod assembly 500 also includes a reset spring 530 sleeved on the connecting rod 510, which is used to support the locking block 520.

[0085] The unlock button 300 is a push button.

[0086] Specifically, the inner end of the connecting rod 510 is provided with an abutment block 540, and the return spring 530 is located between the abutment block 540 and the locking block 520, and has the tendency to push the locking block 520 outward; the unlocking button 300 is connected to the outside of the locking block 520 and can push the locking block 520 inward.

[0087] When unlocking, the user presses the unlock button 300, which pushes the locking block 520 inward, moving it into the release hole 202. At the same time, the locking block 520 presses the return spring 530. After the baking tray assembly 100 has rotated, the user releases the unlock button 300, and the return spring 530 pushes the locking block 520 outward, returning it to the through hole 201. Simultaneously, the unlock button 300 also pushes outward to reset.

[0088] In this embodiment, the rotating seat 200 is disposed on the side of the rotating side of the baking pan assembly 100, and an auxiliary seat 400 is also provided on its symmetrical side; an oil receiving tray 600 is also provided between the rotating seat 200 and the auxiliary seat 400.

[0089] Specific reference Figure 13 As shown, the rotating seat 200 and the auxiliary seat 400 are two bases with the same shape and symmetrically arranged. The outer side of the auxiliary seat 400 is provided with an opening 401 for the oil receiving pan 600 to be pulled out. The oil receiving pan 600 is located between the rotating seat 200 and the auxiliary seat 400 and can be pulled out through the opening 401 to remove the filtered oil.

[0090] The side of the oil receiving tray 600 is provided with a recess 601 that allows a person to reach in and pull it out;

[0091] The oil drain hole 101 on the baking tray assembly 100 is located on the rotating side and is arranged above the oil receiving tray 600.

[0092] Specifically, an oil receiving seat 700 is provided between the rotating seat 200 and the auxiliary seat 400. The oil receiving seat 700 has a groove 701 inside, and a hollow part on the side that can accommodate the movement of the oil receiving tray 600 is connected to the groove 701.

[0093] The oil receiving tray 600 is laterally inserted into the groove 701.

[0094] Specific reference Figure 14 As shown, mounting feet are extended from the opposite end faces of the rotating seat 200 and the auxiliary seat 400, and the oil receiving seat 700 is located between the four mounting feet; the end face of the oil receiving seat 700 facing the auxiliary seat 400 is provided with a gantry-shaped hollow part, and the oil receiving tray 600 is inserted into the oil receiving seat 700 through the hollow part; when it is necessary to clean the filter oil in the oil receiving tray 600, the oil receiving tray 600 can be pulled out from the hollow part of the oil receiving seat 700.

[0095] The hollowed-out part and the opening 401 on the auxiliary seat 400 are connected, and the oil receiving tray 600 is moved out from the hollowed-out part and the opening 401 in sequence.

[0096] The inner end of the oil receiving seat 700 is provided with a buckle 710 that can limit the upper edge of the oil receiving pan 600.

[0097] In addition, an electrical connection part can be provided on the oil receiving base 700, that is, a circuit board receiving groove is provided in the oil receiving base 700; preferably, in this embodiment, a receiving groove is provided on the side of the oil receiving base 700 near the rotating base 200, and the power cord extends from this side, and a winding shaft 1 is provided on the outer side of the rotating base 200.
