Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of kitchenware technology, specifically a waffle maker. Background Technology

[0002] A waffle maker is a sealed appliance used to bake waffles.

[0003] For example, in the waffle machine disclosed in patent publication number CN212140207U, when in use, the first set of rings and the second set of rings are first placed into the lower baking pan, and then the raw materials are placed into the lower baking pan and positioned between the first set of rings and the second set of rings. Then the upper baking pan and the lower baking pan are covered and heated. Under the action of the upper and lower molds, the shaped waffles have patterns formed on both the upper and lower surfaces, and at the same time, under the action of the side molds, patterns are formed on the sides.

[0004] This results in a lack of convenience in its use, requiring both hands to operate simultaneously. To address this, we propose a waffle machine. Utility Model Content

[0005] One of the technical problems to be solved by this application is: how to propose a waffle machine structure that facilitates one-handed operation and removal of waffles.

[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this application provides a waffle machine, including an upper baking pan and a lower baking pan rotatably connected, and two side baking rings that can be assembled into a complete ring structure. Each of the two side baking rings is fixed with an L-shaped handle, and the ends of the two L-shaped handles away from the side baking rings are rotatably connected.

[0007] In some embodiments, a protrusion is provided at the bottom of any of the L-shaped grips, and a groove is provided at the top;

[0008] Furthermore, the other L-shaped grip has a protrusion at the top and a groove at the bottom;

[0009] The upper and lower baking pans are also provided with matching protrusions and grooves.

[0010] In some embodiments, after the two side grill rings are assembled, the two L-shaped handles are in the shape of a door and are located between the upper grill plate and the lower grill plate and overlap with their handles longitudinally.

[0011] In some embodiments, while the upper baking pan and the lower baking pan are rotatably connected, the upper baking pan can also move longitudinally relative to the lower baking pan.

[0012] In some embodiments, a protrusion is provided on the side of the lower baking pan away from its handle, and a through longitudinal extension hole is provided in the protrusion. Two limiting portions are provided on the side of the upper baking pan away from its handle. The protrusion is located between the two limiting portions, and a rotating shaft through the extension hole is fixed between the two limiting portions.

[0013] This utility model has at least the following beneficial effects:

[0014] The L-shaped handle, which connects to the side baking ring and rotates, allows for one-handed opening and closing, simplifying the waffle removal process. The staggered, one-piece injection-molded structure of the protrusions and grooves ensures precise alignment between the baking tray and the side baking ring, improving baking quality. In addition, the upper baking tray can be moved vertically to adjust the spacing, allowing for flexible baking modes with or without the side baking ring to meet different size requirements. At the same time, the overall structure of the device takes into account aesthetics, portability, and ease of mold processing, significantly improving ease of use and functional versatility.

[0022] 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.

[0023] Example 1: Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 3 This utility model provides a technical solution: a waffle machine, including an upper baking pan 1 and a lower baking pan 2 rotatably connected, and also includes two side baking rings 3 that can be assembled into a complete ring structure, the side baking rings 3 being placed between the upper baking pan 1 and the lower baking pan 2;

[0024] In addition, L-shaped handles 4 are fixed on both side grilling rings 3, and the ends of the two L-shaped handles 4 away from the side grilling rings 3 are rotatably connected.

[0025] In practical use, by holding the two L-shaped handles 4 with one hand, the opening and closing of the two side baking rings 3 can be directly controlled, making it convenient to remove the baked waffles. The overall structure is simpler and more practical.

[0026] Example 2: Please refer to Figures 4-6 This utility model proposes another technical solution: a protrusion 5 is provided at the bottom of any L-shaped grip 4, and a groove 6 is provided at the top;

[0027] Furthermore, the other L-shaped grip 4 has a protrusion 5 on the top and a groove 6 on the bottom;

[0028] Furthermore, grooves 6 and protrusions 5 that match protrusions 5 and grooves 6 are also provided on the upper baking pan 1 and the lower baking pan 2 respectively.

[0029] The protrusion 5 and the groove 6 are integrally injection molded with the corresponding side baking ring 3, upper baking tray 1 and lower baking tray 2 respectively. At the same time, considering the convenience of injection mold processing and manufacturing, the protrusion 5 is a cylinder and the groove 6 is a circular groove, both of which are designed without sharp edges to effectively facilitate the manufacturing of the mold.

[0030] Furthermore, the purpose of this design is to pre-position the side baking ring 3, which forms a complete ring structure, by engaging the protrusion 5 on the lower baking tray 2 with the groove 6 on the L-shaped handle 4 before making waffles. This ensures the precise installation of the side baking ring 3. At the same time, the protrusion 5 and groove 6 on the two L-shaped handles 4 are designed to be staggered vertically. This is to ensure the precise alignment of the upper baking tray 1 and the side baking ring 3 when the upper baking tray 1 is engaged for baking. Combined with the constraint of the lower baking tray 2, this ensures the precise alignment of the entire waffle machine and guarantees high-quality waffle baking.

[0031] Example 3: Please refer to Figures 1-3 As shown, this utility model provides another technical solution: after the two side baking rings 3 are assembled, the two L-shaped handles 4 are in the shape of a door and are located between the upper baking pan 1 and the lower baking pan 2 and overlap with their handles longitudinally.

[0032] This design not only ensures a consistent and aesthetically pleasing overall appearance, but also facilitates the opening of the upper baking tray 2 throughout the entire use of the waffle maker, while also improving the comfort of holding it while carrying it.

[0033] Example 4: Please refer to 1- Figure 4 As shown, this utility model provides another technical solution: while the upper baking pan 1 and the lower baking pan 2 are rotatably connected, the upper baking pan 1 can also move longitudinally relative to the lower baking pan 2.

[0034] Specifically, a protrusion 7 is provided on the side of the lower baking pan 2 away from its handle, and a through longitudinal extension hole 8 is provided in the protrusion 7. Two limiting parts 9 are provided on the side of the upper baking pan 1 away from its handle. The protrusion 7 is located between the two limiting parts 9, and a rotating shaft with the through extension hole 8 is fixed between the two limiting parts 9.

[0035] In practical use, the rotating shaft passes through the extension hole 8, which first satisfies the opening and closing of the upper baking pan 1 relative to the lower baking pan 2. The design of the protrusion 7 and the limiting part 9 is used for the setting of the extension hole 8. In this way, the rotating shaft passing through the extension hole 8 can move up and down within the extension hole 8, so that the upper baking pan 1 can move away from or closer to the lower baking pan 2. This is used to adjust the distance between the lower baking pan 2 and the upper baking pan 1. The purpose of this design is that after the side baking ring 3 is removed, by adjusting the distance between the upper baking pan 1 and the lower baking pan 2, the upper baking pan 1 and the lower baking pan 2 can be directly kept in closed contact. This means that even without the side baking ring 3, the normal baking of waffles can still be guaranteed, thereby increasing the flexibility of the size of the baked waffles, which can be selected according to needs.

[0036] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention.
