Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of kitchen scale technology, specifically a waterproof kitchen scale. Background Technology

[0002] A kitchen scale is a portable electronic weighing tool used to accurately measure the weight of ingredients. Based on a compact and exquisite design, it often features a rounded rectangular shape and a shell made of environmentally friendly frosted plastic, providing a comfortable grip. Electronic kitchen scales are often equipped with an LCD display, unit conversion, and automatic zeroing function. Modern smart models can also connect to a mobile phone to record data, making them a practical kitchen assistant that improves cooking efficiency and the consistency of finished products.

[0003] When weighing seafood, washed fruits and vegetables, or thawed meat, existing kitchen scales often have moisture dripping from the surface of the food onto the weighing pan. This dripping moisture can easily seep into the gap between the weighing pan and the machine body. Over time, this moisture can cause internal electronic components to become damp, short circuits, or even corrosion of metal parts, thus affecting weighing accuracy or directly damaging the equipment. To address this, we propose a waterproof kitchen scale. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a waterproof kitchen scale to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a waterproof kitchen scale, comprising a kitchen scale body, a display panel mounted on the surface of the kitchen scale body, a weighing pan mounted on the surface of the kitchen scale body, a waterproof structure provided on the surface of the weighing pan, the waterproof structure comprising a frame, the frame being fixedly connected to the arc surface of the weighing pan, and the arc surface of the frame being connected to two drain pipes.

[0006] The aforementioned components achieve the following effects: by setting up a waterproof structure, it is easy to drain the water dripping from the food, which can effectively prevent the internal electronic components from being damaged by moisture, extend the service life of the equipment, improve the applicability of the kitchen scale, and thus enable it to weigh a variety of heavy food items.

[0007] Preferably, a filter plate is fixedly connected to the surface of the frame, and the filter holes of the filter plate are connected to the inner wall of the frame.

[0008] The effect achieved by the above components is that the filter plate can intercept food scraps, debris, etc., preventing them from entering the frame and clogging the drain pipe, thus ensuring smooth drainage.

[0009] Preferably, a guide ring is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the frame, and one side of the guide ring has a concave-convex surface.

[0010] The effect achieved by the above components is that the guide ring on one side of the inner wall of the frame has a concave-convex surface, which changes the direction of water flow, accelerates the flow of accumulated water to the drain pipe, and improves drainage efficiency.

[0011] Preferably, a plurality of cylinders are fixedly connected to the surface of the weighing pan, and a support plate is fixedly connected to the surface of the plurality of cylinders.

[0012] The effect achieved by the above components is that when the food is weighed, it is placed on the surface of the support plate, which creates a gap between the food and the weighing pan that allows water to flow, thereby further improving the efficiency of water flowing quickly into the frame.

[0013] Preferably, an annular plate A and an annular ring B are fixedly connected to the side of the weighing pan closest to the kitchen scale body, and the size of the annular plate A and the annular plate B are adapted to each other.

[0014] The effect achieved by the above components is that the sizes of the ring plate A and the ring plate B are matched to form the first physical sealing barrier, preventing splashed water from seeping in from the connection between the weighing pan and the machine body, thereby further waterproofing.

[0015] Preferably, both annular plate A and annular plate B are fixedly connected to an arc-shaped ring on the side closest to each other, and the two arc-shaped rings are interlocked but not fitted together.

[0016] The effect achieved by the above components is as follows: the arc-shaped rings on the surface of the ring plate adopt an interlocking but not fitted design to form a labyrinth-like sealing structure. Even if a small amount of water breaks through the gap of the ring plate, the tortuous path of the arc-shaped rings can prevent the water from penetrating further, thus achieving a double waterproof effect.

[0017] Preferably, all components in the waterproof structure are made of expanded polypropylene.

[0018] The effects achieved by the above components are as follows: the waterproof structural parts are all made of expanded polypropylene, which has an ultra-lightweight effect, reducing the initial load after the waterproof structure is installed on the surface of the weighing pan, thereby avoiding excessive reduction of the upper limit of the kitchen scale's weighing range, and achieving both waterproof effect and accurate weighing.

[0019] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0020] This utility model features a waterproof structure. A frame around the edge of the weighing pan forms a ring-shaped water-blocking structure. When water drips from the food onto the weighing pan, the frame prevents water from seeping into the gap between the weighing pan and the main body of the kitchen scale. Two drain pipes connected to the arc surface of the frame guide water out from both sides of the frame, preventing water from accumulating inside. This facilitates the removal of water dripping from the food, effectively preventing damage to internal electronic components from moisture, extending the lifespan of the equipment, and improving the usability of the kitchen scale. This allows for the weighing of various heavy food items. Attached Figure Description

[0027] 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.

[0028] Please see Figure 1-2This utility model provides a technical solution: a waterproof kitchen scale, including a kitchen scale body 1, a display panel 2 installed on the surface of the kitchen scale body 1, a weighing pan 3 installed on the surface of the kitchen scale body 1, and a waterproof structure 4 provided on the surface of the weighing pan 3. The waterproof structure 4 includes a frame 41, which is fixedly connected to the arc surface of the weighing pan 3. The arc surface of the frame 41 is connected to two drain pipes 42. By setting the waterproof structure 4, it is possible to facilitate the drainage of water dripping from the food, which can effectively prevent the internal electronic components from being damaged by moisture, extend the service life of the equipment, improve the applicability of the kitchen scale, and thus enable the weighing of various heavy food items.

[0029] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown in this embodiment: a filter plate 43 is fixedly connected to the surface of the frame 41. The filter holes of the filter plate 43 are connected to the inner wall of the frame 41. The filter plate 43 can intercept food debris and other impurities, preventing them from entering the frame 41 and clogging the drain pipe 42, thus ensuring smooth drainage. A guide ring 44 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the frame 41. One side of the guide ring 44 is concave-convex, which changes the direction of water flow, accelerates the flow of accumulated water to the drain pipe 42, and improves drainage efficiency. Several cylinders 45 are fixedly connected to the surface of the weighing pan 3. Support plates 46 are fixedly connected to the surface of the cylinders 45. When weighing, the food is placed on the surface of the support plate 46, thereby creating a gap between the food and the weighing pan 3 that allows water to flow, further improving the efficiency of water on the food flowing quickly into the frame 41. On the side of the weighing pan 3 closest to the main body 1, an annular plate A47 and an annular ring B are fixedly connected. The dimensions of the annular plate A47 and the annular plate B48 are matched, forming the first physical sealing barrier to prevent splashed water from seeping in from the connection between the weighing pan 3 and the main body, thus further waterproofing. On the side of the annular plates A47 and B48 that are close to each other, arc-shaped rings 49 are fixedly connected. The two arc-shaped rings 49 interlock but do not fit together. The interlocking but not fitting design of the arc-shaped rings 49 on the surface of the annular plate forms a labyrinthine sealing structure. Even if a small amount of water breaks through the gaps in the annular plates, the tortuous path of the arc-shaped rings 49 can prevent further water penetration, achieving a double waterproofing effect. All components in the waterproof structure 4 are made of expanded polypropylene. The use of expanded polypropylene in the components of the waterproof structure 4 results in an ultra-lightweight structure, reducing the initial load after the waterproof structure 4 is installed on the surface of the weighing pan 3, thus avoiding excessive reduction of the upper limit of the kitchen scale's weighing capacity, allowing for both waterproofing and accurate weighing.

[0030] Working principle: The frame 41 on the surface of the weighing pan 3 is set around the edge of the weighing pan 3, forming a ring-shaped water-blocking structure. When water from the surface of the food drips onto the weighing pan 3, the frame 41 can prevent water from seeping into the gap between the weighing pan 3 and the kitchen scale body 1. The two drain pipes 42 connected by the arc surface of the frame 41 can guide the accumulated water to drain from both sides of the frame 41, preventing water from stagnating inside the frame 41. When the food is weighed, it is placed on the surface of the support plate 46, which creates a gap between the food and the weighing pan 3 that allows water to flow, thereby further improving the effect of water on the food flowing quickly into the frame 41. The filter plate 43 on the surface of the frame 41 has filter holes, which can intercept food debris and other impurities, preventing them from entering the frame 41 and clogging the drain pipes 42, ensuring smooth drainage. One side of the guide ring 44 on the inner wall of the frame 41 has a concave-convex surface. By changing the direction of water flow, the accumulated water is accelerated to flow towards the drain pipe 42, improving drainage efficiency. The weighing pan 3 has annular plates A47 and B48 on the side near the body. The two are matched in size to form the first physical sealing barrier, preventing splashed water from seeping in from the connection between the weighing pan 3 and the body, thus further waterproofing. The arc-shaped rings 49 on the surface of the annular plates adopt an interlocking but not fitted design to form a labyrinth-like sealing structure. Even if a small amount of water breaks through the gaps in the annular plates, the tortuous path of the arc-shaped rings 49 can prevent further water penetration, achieving a double waterproof effect. All components of the waterproof structure 4 are made of expanded polypropylene, which has an ultra-lightweight effect, reducing the initial load after the waterproof structure 4 is installed on the surface of the weighing pan 3, thereby avoiding excessive reduction of the upper limit of the kitchen scale's range, allowing both waterproof effect and accurate weighing to be achieved.
