Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of toasters, and more particularly to a toaster with a display icon. Background Technology

[0002] A toaster is a common kitchen appliance, mainly used to toast bread slices.

[0003] In related technologies, such as Chinese Patent Publication No. CN219438879U, a toaster is disclosed, including a housing and a control unit detachably connected to the housing; the control unit includes a display panel with a display screen, a control panel with control buttons, and a circuit board electrically connected to both the control panel and the display screen; the control unit also includes a fixing plate for fixing the control panel, the display panel, and the circuit board to the housing; the outer surface of the housing has a first embedding area for embedding the display screen and embedding holes for embedding the control buttons.

[0004] Regarding the aforementioned technologies, the inventor believes that the structure of this toaster only provides users with a setting for toasting bread slices in terms of time. Users cannot know the state of the bread slices after toasting in advance through the buttons on the casing. Users who do not know the time required for toasting bread slices to different degrees may find it difficult to get the bread slices they want to toast during use, and there is still room for improvement. Utility Model Content

[0005] To address the issue that users may struggle to achieve their desired toasting level because they cannot anticipate the toasting status of bread slices using buttons on the toaster and are unfamiliar with the toasting time required for different degrees of doneness, this application provides a toaster with display icons.

[0006] The toaster with display icons provided in this application adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] A toaster with display icons includes a toaster body, the side wall of which is provided with buttons with icons of different colors corresponding to different toasting levels of bread slices, so that users can correctly select the desired toasting level of bread slices.

[0008] By adopting the above technical solution, the button settings with icons corresponding to different toasting levels of bread slices allow users to know the color of the bread slices after toasting at that level through the icons on the buttons. This enables them to correctly select the button on the toaster to toast the bread slices to their desired level, improving the convenience of toasting bread slices for users.

[0009] Optionally, a dustproof component is also included. The oven body has a baking slot above it for placing bread slices into the oven for baking. The oven body has two guide rails on one side of the baking slot, with the two guide rails respectively located on both sides of the baking slot. Each of the two guide rails has a guide groove on its opposite side, which is arranged along the length of the guide rail. The dustproof component includes a first frame, a second frame, and a dustproof cloth. The two ends of the first frame are rotatably connected to one side of the two guide grooves, and the two ends of the second frame are slidably connected to the two guide grooves. One end of the dustproof cloth is fixedly connected to the first frame, and the other end of the dustproof cloth is fixedly connected to the second frame. When the second frame moves away from the first frame, the dustproof cloth covers the baking slot.

[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, when the second frame moves away from the first frame along the guide rail, the dust cover covers the exposed toasting slot of the toaster, preventing dust from entering the toaster through the toasting slot when it is not in use, thus improving the cleanliness of toasting bread slices. On the other hand, the movement of the first and second frames along the width direction of the guide rail is restricted by the guide rail, and the dust cover unfolds along the length direction of the guide rail as the second frame slides, eliminating the need to adjust the covering position of the dust cover along the width direction of the guide rail, thus improving the convenience of covering the toasting slot with the dust cover. Furthermore, by rotating the first frame to store the dust cover on the first frame, it is prevented from accumulating on the oven body when the dust cover is opened, thus improving the cleanliness of the toaster when the dust cover is opened.

[0011] Optionally, rollers are rotatably connected to both ends of the second frame, and the rollers are rolled on the wall of the guide groove.

[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, compared with the second skeleton sliding directly in the guide groove, the rolling of the roller is subject to less friction. The second skeleton moves on the guide rail as the roller rolls, which improves the smoothness of the second skeleton moving along the length of the guide rail.

[0013] Optionally, a gripping ring is fixedly connected to the second frame.

[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, the user inserts their fingers into the grip ring and applies a force away from the first frame, causing the grip ring to move the second frame away from the first frame, thereby allowing the dust cover to cover the baking oven and improving the user's convenience in opening and closing the dust cover.

[0015] Optionally, a locking rod for the gripping ring to be fitted is fixedly connected to the guide rail, and the locking rod is located on the side of the first frame away from the second frame.

[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, when the second frame approaches the first frame, the grip ring is placed on the locking rod. At this time, the second frame is restricted by the locking rod and cannot move away from the first frame, which improves the stability of the dust cover in the open state.

[0017] Optionally, the guide rail has an embedding groove on the side away from the first frame, and a locking block is provided on the guide rail. The locking block includes an abutting part, a through part, and a gripping part. The abutting part is embedded in the embedding groove, and the through part is fixedly connected to the side of the abutting part near the bottom of the embedding groove. The through part passes through the guide rail, and the gripping part is fixedly connected to the end of the through part away from the abutting part. When the gripping part abuts against the guide rail, the abutting part abuts against the side of the second frame near the first frame.

[0018] By adopting the above technical solution, when the second frame moves to the side of the guide rail away from the first frame, the locking block is pushed, so that the gripping part abuts against the guide rail. The abutting part is pushed into the guide groove and abuts against the side of the second frame close to the first frame. The second frame is restricted by the abutting part and cannot move to the side of the guide rail close to the first frame. The dustproof cloth remains in the state of covering the baking oven, which improves the stability of the dustproof cloth covering the baking oven.

[0019] Optionally, one end of the first frame is provided with a first snap-fit ​​groove, the first frame is provided with an adjustment handle, a through rod is fixedly connected to the side of the adjustment handle near the first frame, a through hole is provided on the guide rail near the adjustment handle, the through rod passes through the through hole, and a first snap-fit ​​block is fixedly connected to the side of the through rod away from the adjustment handle, the first snap-fit ​​block snaps into the first snap-fit ​​groove.

[0020] By adopting the above technical solution, compared with directly rotating the first frame to store the dustproof cloth, the user needs to rotate a larger radius and less force by rotating the first frame synchronously by rotating the adjustment handle, which improves the convenience of the user to rotate the first frame.

[0021] Optionally, a magnetic strip is fixedly connected to the furnace body, the magnetic strip is arranged along the length of the guide rail, and the guide rail and the magnetic strip are magnetically attracted to each other.

[0022] By adopting the above technical solution, when the guide rail is installed on the oven body, the guide rail will not shift due to the magnetic force of the magnetic strip when the toaster is subjected to external impact, thus improving the stability of the guide rail installed on the oven body. On the other hand, when the user feels that the dustproof component affects the aesthetics of the oven body, the user can apply a force greater than the magnetic force to directly remove the guide rail and remove the dustproof component and the guide rail, thus improving the convenience of the user to remove the dustproof component.

[0023] Optionally, a second snap-fit ​​block is fixedly connected to the guide rail, and a second snap-fit ​​groove is provided on the furnace body, with the second snap-fit ​​block snapping into the second snap-fit ​​groove.

[0024] By adopting the above technical solution, the guide rail and the furnace body are fixedly connected by the structure in which the second snap-fit ​​block is snapped into the second snap-fit ​​groove. This ensures that when the toaster is subjected to external impact, the guide rail will not shift due to the friction between the second snap-fit ​​block and the groove wall of the second snap-fit ​​groove, thus improving the stability of the guide rail installed on the furnace body.

[0025] Optionally, the guide groove passes through one end of the guide rail near the first frame, and a magnetic block is provided at the end of the guide rail near the first frame. The magnetic block and the guide rail are magnetically attracted to each other. When the magnetic block abuts against the guide rail, the magnetic block blocks the side of the guide rail that is penetrated by the guide groove.

[0026] By adopting the above technical solution, after removing the magnetic block, the adjustment handle is removed from the first frame, and the first and second frames slide on the side of the guide rail through which the guide groove passes, thereby detaching from the guide rail, so that the user can remove the dustproof component for cleaning, thus improving the convenience of the user to remove the dustproof component.

[0027] In summary, this application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects:

[0028] 1. The button is equipped with icons that correspond to different colors of the toasted bread slices, so that users can know the color of the bread slices after toasting at that level by looking at the icons on the buttons, which improves the convenience of toasting bread slices.

[0029] 2. The dustproof components prevent dust from entering the toaster through the baking tray when it is not in use, thus improving the cleanliness of the toaster when baking bread.

[0030] 3. The rollers reduce the friction experienced by the second frame when it moves on the guide rail, thus improving the smoothness of its movement along the length of the guide rail. Attached Figure Description

[0036] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figures 1-4 This application will be described in further detail.

[0037] This application discloses a toaster with a display icon.

[0038] Example 1

[0039] Reference Figure 1 The toaster with display icon includes a toaster body 1 and a dustproof module 2. The toaster body 1 has a toasting slot 11 on its upper part, through which the user places bread slices for toasting. The dustproof module 2 is installed on top of the toaster body 1 to cover the toasting slot 11.

[0040] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2The dustproof module 2 includes a dustproof component 21 and two guide rails 22. Two magnetic strips 12 are fixedly connected to the top of the oven body 1, located on opposite sides of the baking chamber 11. The two guide rails 22 are magnetically attached to the sides of the magnetic strips 12 furthest from the oven body 1. Each guide rail 22 has a guide groove 221 on its opposite side, arranged along the length of the guide rail 22 for installation of the dustproof component 21. The dustproof component 21 includes a first frame 211, a second frame 212, and a dustproof cloth 213. The two ends of the first frame 211 are rotatably connected to the two guide grooves 221. One end of the first frame 211 has a first locking groove 2112, and an adjustment handle 2111 is installed at the end of the first frame 211 with the first locking groove 2112. A through rod 21111 is fixedly connected to the side of the adjusting handle 2111 near the first frame 211. A through hole 222 is provided on the side of the guide rail 22 near the adjusting handle 2111, and the through rod 21111 passes through the through hole 222. A first locking block 21112 is fixedly connected to the side of the through rod 21111 away from the adjusting handle 2111. The first locking block 21112 engages with the first locking groove 2112, causing the first frame 211 to rotate as the adjusting handle 2111 rotates. Rollers 2121 are rotatably connected to both ends of the second frame 212. The rollers 2121 roll along the wall of the guide groove 221 to reduce the frictional force experienced by the second frame 212 when it moves along the length of the guide rail 22. A grip ring 2122 is fixedly connected to the side of the second frame 212 away from the first frame 211, so that the user can grip the grip ring 2122 to pull the second frame 212 to move the guide rail 22 away from the first frame 211. One end of the dustproof cloth 213 is fixedly connected to the first frame 211, and the other end of the dustproof cloth 213 is fixedly connected to the second frame 212. When the second frame 212 is pulled to the side away from the first frame 211, the dustproof cloth 213 covers the baking slot 11 to prevent dust from entering the oven body 1 through the baking slot 11. Turning the adjusting handle 2111 drives the first frame 211 to rotate synchronously, and the dustproof cloth 213 wraps around the first frame 211, driving the second frame 212 to move towards the first frame 211, so that the baking slot 11 is exposed for the user to bake bread slices.

[0041] Reference Figure 1 To ensure a more stable opening of the dust cover 213, a locking lever 223 is fixedly connected to the guide rail 22. The locking lever 223 is located on the side of the first frame 211 away from the second frame 212. When the grip ring 2122 is fitted onto the locking lever 223, the second frame 212 cannot move away from the first frame 211.

[0042] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 3To ensure a more stable cover state for the dustproof cloth 213, the guide rail 22 has an inlay groove 224 on the side away from the first frame 211, and a locking block 225 is installed on the guide rail 22. The locking block 225 includes an abutment portion 2251, a through portion 2252, and a grip portion 2253. The abutment portion 2251 is embedded in the inlay groove 224, and the side of the abutment portion 2251 near the bottom of the inlay groove 224 is fixedly connected to the through portion 2252. The end of the through portion 2252 away from the abutment portion 2251 passes through the guide rail 22 and is fixedly connected to the grip portion 2253. When the second frame 212 moves to the end of the guide rail 22 away from the first frame 211, it pushes the grip portion 2253, causing the abutment portion 2251 to move from the inlay groove 224 into the guide groove 221. The second frame 212 is restricted by the abutment portion 2251 and cannot move towards the side closer to the first frame 211.

[0043] Reference Figure 1 The oven body 1 is equipped with a button 13 with an icon that displays the color of the bread slices after baking, so that the user can correctly select the desired baking degree of the bread slices by using the icon on the button 13.

[0044] The implementation principle of Example 1 is as follows: When toasting bread slices, the grip 2253 moves to the side of the guide rail 22 away from the guide groove 221, so that the abutment 2251 is embedded in the embedding groove 224; the adjustment handle 2111 is rotated to drive the second frame 212 to move along the guide rail 22 towards the side closer to the first frame 211, so as to open the dust cover 213; then the grip ring 2122 is fitted onto the locking rod 223, so that the second frame 212 cannot move away from the first frame 211; the bread slices are placed in the toasting chamber 11, and the corresponding button 13 is pressed to toast the bread slices, referring to the icon on the button 13 with the color of the toasted bread slices; when the dust cover component 21 needs to be cleaned, the user applies a force greater than the magnetic force of the magnetic strip 12 to remove the guide rail 22, so as to disassemble the dust cover component 21, and then clean the dust cover 213.

[0045] Example 2

[0046] Reference Figure 4The difference between this embodiment and Embodiment 1 is that a second locking block 226 is fixedly connected to each of the two guide rails 22, and the furnace body 1 has two second locking slots 14. The two second locking blocks 226 are respectively locked into the two second locking slots 14 to fix the two guide rails 22 to the furnace body 1. In order to allow the dustproof component 21 to be disassembled for cleaning, the guide groove 221 penetrates the guide rail 22 near the first frame 211, so that the first frame 211 and the second frame 212 are separated from the guide rail 22 from the side of the guide rail 22 through which the guide groove 221 penetrates. A magnet 227 is installed on the side of the guide rail 22 through which the guide groove 221 penetrates. The magnet 227 and the guide rail 22 are magnetically attracted to each other to seal the side of the guide groove 221 through which the guide rail 22 penetrates.

[0047] The implementation principle of Example 2 is as follows: When toasting bread slices, the grip 2253 moves to the side of the guide rail 22 away from the guide groove 221, so that the abutment 2251 is embedded in the embedding groove 224; the adjustment handle 2111 is rotated to drive the second frame 212 to move along the guide rail 22 towards the side closer to the first frame 211, so as to open the dust cover 213; then the grip ring 2122 is fitted onto the locking rod 223, so that the second frame 212 cannot move away from the first frame 211; the bread slices are placed in the toasting chamber 11, and the toasting is completed according to the button 13. The color icon indicates the toasting process; pressing the corresponding button 13 will toast the bread slices. When the dustproof component 21 needs to be cleaned, the user applies a force greater than the magnetic force of the magnetic block 227 to remove the magnetic block 227. Then, the adjustment handle 2111 is pulled away from the first frame 211, causing the first locking block 21112 to disengage from the first frame 211. The first frame 211 and the second frame 212 are then moved along the guide groove 221, causing the first frame 211 and the second frame 212 to disengage from the guide rail 22 from the side of the guide groove 221 that passes through the guide rail 22. Finally, the dustproof cloth 213 is cleaned.

[0048] 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.
