[0043] like Figures 1 to 8As shown, this application provides a kitchen appliance with a novel installation structure, which includes a frying bucket lid 1 and a frying bucket 2. The frying bucket lid 1 can be a mounting cover on the frying bucket 2, and the frying bucket lid 1 can be fixedly or detachably installed on the frying bucket 2.
[0044] In one possible embodiment, the frying drum lid 1 may include a first mounting component 11, and the frying drum 2 may include a second mounting component 21 corresponding to the first mounting component 11. The structure of the first mounting component 11 may correspond to the structure of the second mounting component 21, and the first mounting component 11 may engage with the second mounting component 21.
[0045] Optionally, the frying drum lid 1 can be engaged with the frying drum 2 via the engagement between the first mounting component 11 and the second mounting component 21. When the first mounting component 11 and the second mounting component 21 are engaged, a fixed or detachable mounting structure can be formed between the frying drum lid 1 and the frying drum 2.
[0046] In this embodiment, the fryer lid 1 and the fryer 2 can be engaged by snapping the first mounting component 11 with the second mounting component 21, thereby enabling the fryer lid 1 to be quickly snapped onto the fryer 2. Therefore, when installing the kitchenware of this application, the fryer lid 1 and the fryer 2 can be quickly installed by snapping the first mounting component 11 onto the second mounting component 21, thus improving the installation efficiency of the kitchenware and saving manpower and resources.
[0047] In one possible embodiment, the first mounting component 11 includes at least one first locking element 111, and the second mounting component 21 may include at least one second locking element 211 corresponding to at least one first locking element 111. Each first locking element 111 corresponds to one and only one second locking element 211, and each first locking element 111 can be locked with the second locking element 211 corresponding to each first locking element 111.
[0048] Optionally, the frying drum lid 1 can be engaged with the frying drum 2 through an engagement between at least one first locking member 111 and at least one second locking member 211. When each of the at least one first locking member 111 is engaged with the at least one second locking member 211, the installation of the frying drum lid 1 and the frying drum 2 is completed.
[0049] Optionally, the second mounting component 21 of this application may further include a frying bucket partition 22, at least one second locking member 211 may be disposed on the frying bucket partition 22, at least one second locking member 211 may be fixedly disposed on the frying bucket partition 22, or at least one second locking member 211 may be integrally formed with the frying bucket partition 22. The frying bucket partition 22 in this application can be disposed on the body of the kitchen appliance by means of bolt connection, welding, or other connection methods. In actual use, the frying bucket partition 22 in this application can itself be regarded as a component of the appliance body.
[0050] Therefore, at least one second locking member 211 in this application can engage with the first mounting component 11 to achieve quick installation of the frying bucket partition 22 and the frying bucket cover 1, that is, to achieve quick installation of the frying bucket partition 22.
[0051] In one possible embodiment, the first locking member 111 includes a first mating surface 112, and the second locking member 211 may include a second mating surface 212 corresponding to the first mating surface 112. The shapes of the first mating surface 112 and the second mating surface 212 may correspond, and the first mating surface 112 can abut against the second mating surface 212. Optionally, the first mating surface 112 and the second mating surface 212 may be curved surfaces or planar surfaces.
[0052] Optionally, when the first mating surface 112 abuts against the second mating surface 212, the first locking member 111 and the second locking member 211 can undergo slight deformation to lock the first locking member 111 and the second locking member 211 in place. After the abutment between the first mating surface 112 and the second mating surface 212 ends, the first locking member 111 and the second locking member 211 stop deforming and return to their original initial shape.
[0053] Optionally, when each first locking member 111 is about to engage with its corresponding second locking member 211, the first mating surface 112 presses against and passes over the second mating surface 212, so that each first locking member 111 can be inserted into its corresponding second locking member 211, or each second locking member 211 can be inserted into its corresponding first locking member 111. That is, after the first mating surface 112 and the second mating surface 212 have engaged, the first locking member 111 can be inserted into the second locking member 211, thereby achieving the engaging connection between the first locking member 111 and the second locking member 211.
[0054] In one possible embodiment, both the first mating surface 112 and the second mating surface 212 are wedge-shaped surfaces. The first mating surface 112 can fit against the second mating surface 212, and the inclination angles of the first mating surface 112 and the second mating surface 212 can be the same. The first mating surface 112 can be set parallel to the second mating surface 212.
[0055] Optionally, during the process of the first mating surface 112 pressing against and passing over the second mating surface 212, the first mating surface 112 and the second mating surface 212 are always in contact, and the first mating surface 112 and the second mating surface 212 can slide relative to each other, thereby realizing the engaging connection between the first locking member 111 and the second locking member 211.
[0056] Optionally, at least one first locking member 111 within the first mounting component 11 can be symmetrically arranged. When the first mounting component includes 2 rows and n columns of first locking members, the first row of first locking members can be arranged facing downwards (i.e., the first mating surface 112 faces upwards), and the second row of first locking members can be arranged facing upwards (i.e., the first mating surface 112 faces downwards), thereby achieving a symmetrical arrangement of at least one first locking member 111.
[0057] In one possible embodiment, the first locking member 111 may include two limiting plates 113, which may be respectively disposed on both sides of the first mating surface 112. The two limiting plates 113 may be fixedly disposed on both sides of the first mating surface 112, and the first locking member 111 may also be an integrally formed structure.
[0058] Optionally, when the first locking member 111 engages with the second locking member 211, the second locking member 211 is located between the two limiting plates 113. The two limiting plates 113 can jointly limit the second locking member 211, thereby preventing the second locking member 211 from moving in the direction toward the two limiting plates 113.
[0059] In one possible embodiment, the first locking member 111 may include a locking hole 114, and the second locking member 211 may include a locking head 213 corresponding to the locking hole 114. The shape of the locking hole 114 may correspond to the shape of the locking head 213, and the locking hole 114 can just accommodate the locking head 213.
[0060] Optionally, when the first locking member 111 engages with the second locking member 211, the locking hole 114 accommodates the locking head 213 and limits the locking head 213. The first locking member 111 can achieve engagement with the second locking member 211 by limiting the locking head 213 through the locking hole 114.
[0061] In other embodiments, the first locking member 111 may include a locking head 213, and the second locking member 211 may include a locking hole 114 corresponding to the locking head 213. That is, by interchangeding the locking hole 114 in the first locking member 111 and the locking head 213 in the second locking member 211, the engagement of the first locking member 111 and the second locking member 211 can also be achieved.
[0062] In one possible embodiment, the first mounting component 11 includes four first locking members 111, which are evenly distributed along the edge of the frying drum cover 1, so that when the first mounting component 11 is connected to the second mounting component 21, the force at the connection between the frying drum cover 1 and the frying drum 2 is more uniform.
[0063] Optionally, the second mounting component 21 includes four second locking elements 211 corresponding to the four first locking elements 111. The first mounting component 11 can be engaged with the second mounting component 21 through the engagement between the four first locking elements 111 and the four second locking elements 211.
[0064] In one possible embodiment, the frying drum lid 1 is a rectangular lid structure, and four first locking members 111 can be respectively disposed on the four corners of the frying drum lid 1. Correspondingly, the second mounting assembly 21 includes four second locking members 211, the positions of which can correspond to the positions of the first locking members 111. Distributing the four first locking members 111 at the four corners can distribute the force on the frying drum lid 1 and the frying drum 2, and make the force at the connection between the frying drum lid 1 and the frying drum 2 more uniform.
[0065] In one possible embodiment, the first mounting assembly 11 includes at least one third locking member 115, and the second mounting assembly 21 includes at least one fourth locking member 214 corresponding to the at least one third locking member 115. The structure of the third locking member 115 may correspond to the structure of the fourth locking member 214, and the position of the third locking member 115 may correspond to the position of the fourth locking member 214.
[0066] Optionally, each third locking member 115 can engage with a corresponding fourth locking member 214 to further secure the connection between the frying drum lid 1 and the frying drum 2. The engagement between the third locking member 115 and the fourth locking member 214 makes the connection between the frying drum lid 1 and the frying drum 2 more secure.
[0067] In one possible embodiment, both the third locking member 115 and the fourth locking member 214 are provided with hooks 215. The structure of the hooks 215 on the third locking member 115 can correspond to the structure of the hooks 215 on the fourth locking member 214. The hooks 215 on each third locking member 115 can engage with the hooks 215 on the corresponding fourth locking member 214, thereby realizing the engagement connection between the third locking member 115 and the corresponding fourth locking member 214, so as to make the connection between the frying drum cover 1 and the frying drum 2 more secure.
[0068] In one possible embodiment, when the first mounting component 11 includes a third locking member 115, the third locking member 115 is disposed on the centerline of the frying bucket cover plate 1, thereby evenly distributing the force at the connection between the frying bucket cover plate 1 and the frying bucket 2, making the force at the connection between the frying bucket cover plate 1 and the frying bucket 2 more uniform, and preventing the situation where the force is more concentrated on one side at the connection between the frying bucket cover plate 1 and the frying bucket 2.
[0069] In one possible embodiment, the kitchen appliance in this application further includes a pull-out handle 3. The fryer lid 1 in this application may be provided with a mounting hole 12, and the fryer partition 22 in this application may be provided with a mounting base 221. The position of the mounting hole 12 may correspond to the position of the mounting base 221. The pull-out handle 3 may be disposed on the mounting base 221, and the pull-out handle 3 may pass through the mounting hole 12.
