Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of household appliance technology, and in particular to a reversible cooking appliance. Background Technology

[0002] Air fryers, as a new type of kitchen appliance, have become widely popular in recent years due to their health and convenience. Their working principle is as follows: a high-powered fan creates a circulating hot air vortex within a sealed space, where the air, heated by a built-in heating element, ensures that the heat fully contacts the food surface, achieving a frying effect.

[0003] Regarding the aforementioned technologies, traditional air fryers typically employ a fixed design, meaning the casing and base are fixedly connected and cannot rotate. Hot air circulation is achieved through a built-in heating element and fan. During use, the fryer is placed on the base with the opening facing upwards. Because the casing and base cannot rotate or be separated, the air fryer can only perform frying or grilling functions. The inventor believes this represents a limitation of limited functionality in cooking appliances. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To address the issue of limited functionality in such cooking appliances, this application provides a flip-up cooking appliance.

[0005] The flip-over cooking appliance provided in this application adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] A flip-up cooking appliance includes a housing, a heating element disposed within the housing, a base, and a support; it also includes a rotating module, the rotating module comprising:

[0007] A rotating shaft is disposed at one or both ends of the housing and rotatably connected to the support base, and the rotating shaft is provided with mounting holes;

[0008] The clamping assembly includes an elastic element placed in the mounting hole, a positioning block fixed to the outer wall of the elastic element, and a button for controlling the positioning block to move away from or closer to the support base;

[0009] The support base is integrally mounted on the base, and the support base also includes a mounting plate. The button is provided with a plug-in post that is inserted and positioned on the mounting plate. One end of the plug-in post abuts against the end face of the positioning block. The positioning block has symmetrically opened positioning grooves on its outer side, and the mounting plate is provided with positioning bosses for positioning of the positioning grooves.

[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, the housing is rotatably connected to the support base via a rotating shaft, achieving the housing's flipping function. The locking component is installed in the mounting hole on the rotating shaft, preventing it from being exposed and damaged. When the housing needs to be rotated, pressing the button pushes the positioning block inward to compress the elastic element via the plug-in pin, disengaging the positioning block from the positioning boss, allowing the housing to rotate freely. After the housing has rotated, simply releasing the button causes the elastic element to automatically spring back the positioning block. The positioning groove and positioning boss cooperate to ensure the positional accuracy during locking, preventing the housing from shaking. Therefore, this structure enables flexible flipping of the housing, allowing users to adjust the housing's orientation according to their needs, enabling the cookware to perform both frying and grilling functions, enhancing its versatility and ease of use, and meeting the needs of different scenarios.

[0011] Optionally, the inner wall of the rotating shaft is further provided with a positioning strip, which is located in the positioning groove.

[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, a positioning strip is added to the inner wall of the rotating shaft to form a secondary limit with the positioning groove. The positioning strip embedded in the positioning groove can enhance the connection stability between the rotating shaft and the support base and avoid relative positioning loosening caused by long-term use.

[0013] Optionally, the button is provided with three plug-in pins circumferentially facing the rotating shaft, and the positioning block is provided with a limiting ring that is plugged into the elastic element at one end, and a limiting groove for the plug-in pins to abut against at the other end.

[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, the three evenly distributed insertion pins around the button enhance the stability of the button's control over the positioning block. The positioning block, connected to the elastic element via a limiting ring, ensures that the force applied by the button to the positioning block is evenly transmitted to the elastic element, further enhancing the stability of the positioning block's control over the elastic element. The end face shape of the limiting groove matches the end face of the insertion pin; when the button is pressed down, the insertion pin precisely abuts against the limiting groove, pushing the positioning block inward to unlock.

[0015] Optionally, the mounting plate has a plug hole for the plug post to be inserted into, the plug post includes a sliding rod that slides within the plug hole, a positioning head located at the top of the sliding rod, and the positioning head has a guide slope.

[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, the insertion hole on the mounting plate provides a guide for the sliding rod, ensuring that the insertion post moves axially along the housing's rotation axis. The guide slope of the positioning head facilitates the positioning head entering the insertion hole during insertion, reducing insertion resistance, while limiting the movement range of the insertion post and preventing excessive rebound of the elastic element from causing the button to pop out of the mounting plate.

[0017] Optionally, the rotating shaft is inserted into the rotating hole of the support base, and a threaded post is integrally provided in the rotating shaft. The mounting plate is provided with a rotating shaft, and the front end of the rotating shaft is threadedly connected to the threaded post.

[0018] By adopting the above technical solution, the rotating shaft and the rotating hole of the support base are fitted with a clearance, enabling the free rotation of the casing. The threaded post inside the rotating shaft is threadedly connected to the rotating shaft of the mounting plate, which not only ensures the linkage between the rotating shaft and the mounting plate, but also prevents the rotating shaft from accidentally coming off through thread self-locking. At the same time, the end of the rotating shaft facing the mounting plate can also restrict the button, preventing the button from being pressed indefinitely, which could damage the elastic element, or the button from being damaged by excessive rebound due to excessive elastic potential energy of the elastic element.

[0019] Optionally, a socket plate is provided on the outer periphery of the mounting plate facing the support base, and the socket plate is interference-fitted to the outer wall of the support base.

[0020] By adopting the above technical solution, the socket plate is fixed to the outer wall of the support base by interference fit, without the need for additional fasteners. When it is necessary to replace the elastic element or adjust the position of the positioning block, the mounting plate can be removed directly without disassembling the cooking appliance as a whole, thus reducing maintenance costs. At the same time, the socket plate enhances the connection strength between the mounting plate and the support base.

[0021] Optionally, the rotating module is disposed at one end of the housing, and a positioning shaft is disposed at the other end of the housing, the positioning shaft being rotatably inserted into the support base.

[0022] By adopting the above technical solution, the rotating module and the positioning shaft are respectively set at both ends of the housing, forming a double-rotation fulcrum structure, which improves the stability of the housing's tilting. The positioning shaft cooperates with the rotation hole of the support base to restrict the rotation axis of the housing and prevent deviation; at the same time, the double-fulcrum design distributes the force, reduces single-point wear, and extends service life.

[0023] Optionally, the base is provided with a positioning plate for positioning cooking utensils.

[0024] By adopting the above technical solution, the positioning plate engages with the bottom of the pot, achieving precise positioning of the pot, preventing the pot from sliding during heating, and improving the safety and stability of the cooking process.

[0025] In summary, this application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects:

[0026] 1. The rotating module allows for flexible flipping of the casing, enabling users to adjust its orientation according to their needs and achieving multi-functionality for the cooking appliance.

[0027] 2. The rotating module design simplifies the operation process. First, while ensuring that the pot can be firmly fixed in any orientation, users only need to press and rotate to switch the orientation of the pot, which improves the convenience and operability of the cooking appliance.
