Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of sandwich maker technology, specifically a sandwich maker locking connection structure. Background Technology

[0002] Sandwich makers are a common cooking tool that can handle various cooking methods such as grilling, baking, and frying. They are an excellent tool for making breakfast and have a large market demand. Currently, most sandwich makers on the market use a double-opening design, with the top cover and base connected by a hinge structure. When in use, the top cover is opened and flipped 180 degrees. Sandwich makers are generally double-sided heating.

[0003] Traditional sandwich maker latches are typically made of plastic and molded as a single piece with the plastic casing. Over time, this leads to severe wear at the latch tip, causing it to gradually lose its elasticity and resulting in locking failure (such as insecure locking or complete inability to lock). Furthermore, this one-piece design makes component replacement difficult. Therefore, we provide a sandwich maker latch connection structure to solve these problems. Utility Model Content

[0023] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0024] like Figure 1-9 As shown, this embodiment proposes a sandwich maker locking connection structure, including an upper cover 1 and a base 2, with the rear end of the upper cover 1 hinged to the base 2. The upper cover 1 and base 2 are existing mature components. A fixing cover 4 is detachably connected to the front end of the upper cover 1. The middle part of the fixing cover 4 and the front end of the base 2 are both recessed to facilitate the insertion of a person's hand to open the upper cover 1. A locking plate 3 is provided in the middle of the fixing cover 4, and the top end of the locking plate 3 is elastically positioned inside the upper cover 1. The fixing cover 4 is used to quickly assemble the locking plate 3 into the upper cover 1. When the locking plate 3 is damaged and needs to be replaced, simply remove the fixing cover 4 from the upper cover 1, and then directly remove and replace the locking plate 3. The locking plate 3 has an automatic reset feature. The base 2... The front end has a locking groove 5 corresponding to the card plate 3, and the bottom end of the card plate 3 is engaged in the locking groove 5. With the above structure, the top end of the card plate 3 can be pressed upwards, so that the bottom end of the card plate 3 is away from the locking groove 5, thereby releasing the lock between the upper cover 1 and the base 2. When the person presses the top end of the card plate 3 and then lifts the upper cover 1 upwards, it can be opened without any additional operation. When the upper cover 1 is closed downwards with the base 2, the card plate 3 can automatically engage in the locking groove 5, realizing the lock between the upper cover 1 and the base 2. The operation is more convenient. The mechanics, parts and equipment in this device all adopt conventional models in the existing technology. In addition, the circuit connection adopts conventional connection methods in the existing technology, which will not be described in detail here.

[0025] like Figures 7 to 9As shown, an elastic element 10 is fixedly connected to the inner top wall of the upper cover 1. The elastic element 10 is a compression spring. The bottom end of the elastic element 10 contacts the top end of the locking plate 3. A fixed shaft 9 is fixedly connected to the top end of the locking plate 3. The fixed shaft 9 is movably connected between the fixed cover 4 and the upper cover 1. A buckle 8 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the locking plate 3. A locking rod 6 is fixedly connected in the locking groove 5, and the buckle 8 is engaged below the locking rod 6. With the setting of the elastic element 10, the locking plate 3 has the effect of automatic reset. When the locking plate 3 is released from pressure, it can be automatically squeezed downward and swung back to reset under the elastic force of the elastic element 10, ensuring that the buckle 8 is locked in the locking groove 5 with the locking rod 6. The elastic element 10 is fixedly installed inside the upper cover 1. When the card plate 3 is damaged due to long-term wear and needs to be replaced, there is no need to remove the elastic element 10. With the setting of the fixed shaft 9, the card plate 3 can swing around the fixed shaft 9 between the fixed cover 4 and the upper cover 1, thereby realizing the locking and opening effect between the upper cover 1 and the base 2. With the setting of the buckle 8 and the locking rod 6, when the upper cover 1 is closed downward with the base 2, the buckle 8 will first slide on the surface of the locking rod 6 until the buckle 8 is inserted into the locking groove 5 and then locked under the locking rod 6. At this time, the upper cover 1 will automatically lock with the base 2.

[0026] like Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, a positioning frame 11 is provided in the middle of the fixed cover 4, and the clamping plate 3 is located inside the positioning frame 11. Two opposing first positioning grooves 12 are opened at the top of the positioning frame 11. Two positioning plates 13 are fixedly connected to the inner top wall of the upper cover 1. The bottom surface of each of the two positioning plates 13 is provided with a second positioning groove 14. The fixed shaft 9 is rotatably connected between the second positioning groove 14 and the first positioning groove 12. Since the fixed shaft 9 can rotate between the second positioning groove 14 and the first positioning groove 12, when the top of the clamping plate 3 is squeezed, the clamping plate 3 will move through the fixed shaft 9. The rotation of the card plate 3 causes the bottom end of the card plate 3 to swing outward, thereby unlocking the upper cover 1 and the base 2 through the rotation and swing of the card plate 3. With the above structure, the card plate 3 can be quickly positioned. After the card plate 3 is inserted into the positioning frame 11, the fixing shaft 9 can be placed in the two first positioning slots 12 to ensure that the card plate 3 will not fall off and to ensure the stability of the card plate 3. Then, after the fixing cover 4 is installed on the upper cover 1, the fixing shaft 9 is placed in the two second positioning slots 14, thereby ensuring the normal use of the card plate 3.

[0027] like Figure 7 and Figure 9 As shown, the length of the fixed shaft 9 is greater than the length of the positioning frame 11 and the distance between the two positioning plates 13. This not only enables the fixed shaft 9 to drive the card plate 3 to swing normally, but also ensures that the fixed shaft 9 can be quickly placed in the positioning frame 11, thus achieving the effect of quick assembly and disassembly, and enabling the fixed shaft 9 to slide stably between the first positioning groove 12 and the second positioning groove 14.

[0028] like Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, a cross plate is fixed to the top of the clamping plate 3, and the elastic element 10 is sleeved on the cross plate. The cross plate can position the elastic element 10, ensuring that the elastic force of the elastic element 10 can act normally on the top of the clamping plate 3, and preventing the bottom of the elastic element 10 from tilting on the clamping plate 3.

[0029] like Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 5 and Figure 9 As shown, several connecting posts 7 are fixed to the inner top wall of the upper cover 1. The fixing cover 4 and each connecting post 7 are connected by screws. With the above structure, when the card plate 3 needs to be replaced, simply remove the screws on the fixing cover 4 to remove the fixing cover 4 from the upper cover 1. Then, the personnel can directly take out the card plate 3 facing upward in the positioning frame 11, and then reinsert the new card plate 3 into the positioning frame 11 so that the fixing shaft 9 rests in the two first positioning slots 12. Finally, the fixing cover 4 is connected to the connecting post 7 by screws, and the card plate 3 can be quickly replaced.

[0030] The working principle and usage of this utility model are as follows: When the upper cover 1 is closed downwards with the base 2, the buckle 8 will first slide on the surface of the locking rod 6 until it is inserted into the locking groove 5 and automatically engages below the locking rod 6. Under the elastic force of the elastic element 10, the buckle 8 will be firmly locked at the locking rod 6. When it is necessary to open the upper cover 1, simply press the top of the locking plate 3, causing the locking plate 3 to swing through the fixed shaft 9, thereby pulling the buckle 8 out of the locking groove 5, thus releasing the locking effect between the upper cover 1 and the base 2. Next, lift the top cover 1 upwards together to open it normally, making the operation more convenient. When the card plate 3 needs to be replaced due to wear caused by frequent use, simply remove all the screws on the fixing cover 4 and remove the fixing cover 4 from the top cover 1. Then, the personnel can directly take out the card plate 3 facing upwards in the positioning frame 11, and then reinsert the new card plate 3 into the positioning frame 11 so that the fixing shaft 9 rests in the two first positioning slots 12. Finally, connect the fixing cover 4 to the connecting post 7 with screws to complete the quick replacement of the card plate 3.
