Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of grilling machine technology, and more specifically, to a grilling machine. Background Technology

[0002] For grills with a flip-top lid, the lid and base are connected by a hinge for rotation.

[0003] If the grill is shaken or operated improperly, it may hit the user's hand, posing a risk of use. Also, when the lid is in the unfolded state, it may collapse due to gravity, preventing the lid from being in the horizontal unfolded position. Utility Model Content

[0004] This utility model aims to solve one of the technical problems existing in the prior art or related technologies.

[0005] In view of this, the present invention proposes a grill, comprising: an upper cover assembly, a hinge part, and a base assembly, wherein the upper cover assembly rotates relative to the base assembly between a closed position and a maximum extended position; the upper cover assembly and the hinge part are rotatably connected via a first shaft, and the base assembly and the hinge part are rotatably connected via a second shaft; a flexible element is sleeved on the first shaft, wherein during the rotation of the upper cover assembly relative to the base assembly between the closed position and the maximum extended position, the flexible element provides a damping force to the upper cover assembly and / or, at the maximum extended position, the flexible element provides a force to the upper cover assembly, the force being used to impede the rotation of the upper cover assembly relative to the base assembly.

[0006] A hinge is provided between the top cover assembly and the base assembly. The top cover assembly rotates relative to the base assembly through the hinge, thereby realizing the function of opening and closing the cover. The top cover assembly can rotate within the range of 0° to 180°. Of course, when the top cover assembly is in the closed position, the angle of the top cover assembly relative to the horizontal plane may be equal to 0° or slightly greater than 0°. When the top cover assembly is in the fully extended position, the angle of the top cover assembly relative to the horizontal plane may be equal to 180° or slightly less than 180°.

[0007] The upper hinge connects to the upper cover assembly, and the lower hinge connects to the base assembly. The upper hinge and the hinge joint are connected via a first shaft, and the lower hinge and the hinge joint are connected via a second shaft. The upper hinge can rotate synchronously with the upper cover assembly. During the rotation of the upper cover assembly, the position of the lower hinge remains unchanged. The upper cover assembly can rotate relative to the hinge joint, or the upper cover assembly can drive the hinge joint to rotate. By installing the upper hinge on the upper cover assembly and the lower hinge on the base assembly, it is unnecessary to machine structures on the upper cover assembly and base assembly to accommodate the hinge joint, thus reducing the manufacturing difficulty of the grill.

[0008] A flexible component is fitted onto the first shaft. Shaft holes are provided on the upper cover assembly and the base assembly, and the flexible component is inserted into these holes along with the shaft. During the rotation of the upper cover assembly relative to the base assembly, the flexible component provides a damping force. For example, during the opening process, when the rotation angle of the upper cover assembly approaches 180°, and the user stops applying force, the upper cover assembly will slowly descend under the damping force. Similarly, during the closing process, the upper cover assembly will also slowly descend under the damping force. This reduces the risk of the upper cover assembly hitting the user's hand during opening or closing, thus ensuring the user's safety when using the grill. Even if the grill shakes or is operated improperly, it will not hit the user's hand, reducing the risk of use and improving user safety during grill operation.

[0009] When the top cover assembly is in its fully extended position, the flexible component provides a force to the top cover assembly. This force prevents the top cover assembly from rotating relative to the base assembly, thus preventing it from collapsing under gravity and keeping it in a horizontal position, thereby providing stable support for the food.

[0010] The top cover assembly is connected to the base assembly via a hinge of a certain length. The base assembly and the top cover assembly are respectively connected to the hinge via a pivot. At this time, the hinge may be unstable during positioning and rotation. When the machine shakes, the machine may automatically close the cover, which may cause burns to the user. Using a flexible component as a damping structure can prevent the top cover assembly from falling quickly and causing burns to the user.

[0011] In some technical solutions, optionally, during the rotation of the cover assembly from the hovering position to the maximum unfolded position, the flexible element provides a damping force to the cover assembly, with the hovering position located between the closed position and the maximum unfolded position.

[0012] When the top cover assembly is in the hover position, it will not rotate relative to the base assembly. At this time, the user does not need to hold the top cover assembly. When the hover lock on the top cover assembly is released, the top cover assembly can rotate to the maximum unfolded position. During this process, the flexible component provides damping force to the top cover assembly to prevent the top cover assembly from turning to the maximum unfolded position too quickly, thus preventing the top cover assembly from bumping or injuring the user.

[0013] In some technical solutions, the base assembly is optionally provided with a receiving groove, at least a portion of the hinge is located in the receiving groove, and the hinge is movable relative to the receiving groove.

[0014] With at least a portion of the hinge located within the receiving groove, and the top cover assembly in the suspended position, the hinge can restrict the top cover assembly from rotating from the suspended position to the maximum unfolded position.

[0015] Before the top cover assembly rotates from the closed position to the hovering position, the hinge does not limit the rotation of the top cover assembly. At this time, the rotation of the top cover assembly is not affected by the hinge. When the top cover assembly rotates to the hovering position, the hinge limits the top cover assembly, thus keeping the top cover assembly in the hovering position.

[0016] When it is necessary to release the restriction on the top cover assembly, the hinge needs to be moved away from the restricted position. At this time, the hinge can rotate with the top cover assembly between the suspended position and the fully extended position. In this way, the restriction and release of the top cover assembly can be conveniently achieved.

[0017] In some technical solutions, optionally, a stop is provided in the receiving groove, the side of the hinge contacts the stop, and when the upper cover assembly is in the suspended position, the hinge restricts the upper cover assembly from rotating from the suspended position to the maximum unfolded position. When the hinge is separated from the stop, the upper cover assembly can rotate from the suspended position to the maximum unfolded position.

[0018] A stop is provided within the receiving groove. When the hinge contacts the stop, the stop restricts the hinge's rotation, thereby restricting the rotation of the upper cover assembly. For example, when the upper cover assembly rotates clockwise, it is in the opening direction. The stop restricts the hinge's clockwise rotation, thus preventing the upper cover assembly from rotating from the suspended position to the fully extended position. Through the cooperation of the stop and the hinge, the upper cover assembly is suspended. In the suspended position, the user does not need to support the upper cover assembly, improving the convenience of using the grill.

[0019] When the top cover assembly needs to be rotated further to the maximum unfolded position, the hinge part can be separated from the stop part. At this time, the stop part no longer limits the hinge part, thereby releasing the limitation of the hinge part on the top cover assembly. When the top cover assembly rotates between the suspended position and the maximum unfolded position, the hinge part rotates together with the top cover assembly.

[0020] In some technical solutions, optionally, when a part of the hinge portion contacts the stop portion, the bottom of the hinge portion fits against the bottom of the receiving groove; when the hinge portion is separated from the stop portion, the hinge portion and the bottom of the groove are spaced apart.

[0021] The hinge can move within the receiving groove. When the side of the hinge contacts the stop, the bottom of the hinge abuts against the bottom of the receiving groove. The bottom of the groove and the stop together restrict the rotation of the hinge, further improving the positioning stability of the hinge on the upper cover assembly.

[0022] In some technical solutions, the hinge portion is optionally provided with a first limiting portion, and the upper cover assembly is provided with a second limiting portion. When the second limiting portion abuts against the first limiting portion, the upper cover assembly can drive the hinge portion to rotate from the suspended position to the maximum unfolded position.

[0023] Before the top cover assembly rotates from the closed position to the hovering position, the second limiting part and the first limiting part are not in contact. At this time, the hinge part does not hinder the rotation of the top cover assembly, and the position of the hinge part remains unchanged during the rotation of the top cover assembly. When the top cover assembly rotates to the hovering position, the second limiting part abuts against the first limiting part. At this time, the hinge part needs to be lifted first to separate the hinge part from the stop part. Then, the top cover assembly drives the hinge part to rotate through the mutual abutment of the first and second limiting parts.

[0024] Because the flexible ribs reduce the resistance to the fit, the upper cover assembly cannot be positioned well when it is suspended. The limiting structure of the first limiting part and the second limiting part is applied to effectively position the upper cover assembly.

[0025] In some technical solutions, optionally, from the maximum unfolded position to the hovering position, the upper cover assembly drives the hinge to rotate through the frictional force applied to the hinge by the flexible element.

[0026] During the rotation of the top cover assembly from its fully extended position to its suspended position, the top cover assembly needs to rotate and reset the hinge. In this design, the flexible component applies friction to the hinge, allowing the hinge to rotate with the top cover assembly. That is, during the rotation from the fully extended position to the suspended position, because the flexible component is in a deformed state, the top cover assembly can drive the hinge to rotate through friction. In this case, there is no need to add an additional structure to the top cover assembly to drive the hinge to rotate, thus simplifying the structure of the top cover assembly.

[0027] In some technical solutions, the flexible component optionally includes: a flexible ring sleeved on the first shaft; and a flexible rib disposed on the outer surface of the flexible ring.

[0028] Flexible ribs are provided on the outer surface of the flexible ring. The flexible ribs are relatively easy to deform. During the rotation of the upper cover assembly relative to the base assembly, the flexible ribs deform in the shaft hole to ensure that the flexible component can stably provide damping force to the upper cover assembly.

[0029] The number of flexible ribs can be multiple, with adjacent flexible ribs spaced apart, and multiple flexible ribs are distributed at intervals along the length of the flexible ring to avoid adjacent flexible ribs from sticking together and affecting the deformation of the flexible ribs.

[0030] Adding flexible ribs can reduce the resistance of flexible components and prevent excessive resistance from degrading the user experience.

[0031] In some technical solutions, the flexible component may optionally include any of the following: silicone ring, rubber ring, latex ring, and polyurethane ring.

[0032] Flexible components can be made of materials such as silicone, rubber, latex, or polyurethane, or a mixture of these materials, making them soft and easily deformable.

[0033] In some technical solutions, optionally, at the maximum unfolded position, the flexible element is in a deformed state, and the flexible element provides frictional force to the upper cover assembly.

[0034] When the flexible component is in a deformed state, the deformation force of the flexible component provides resistance to the rotation of the cover assembly. When the cover assembly is in the maximum unfolded position, the flexible component is in a deformed state. Therefore, when the cover assembly is about to rotate to the maximum unfolded position, the resistance of the flexible component on the cover assembly prevents the cover assembly from falling quickly, avoiding damage to the cover assembly due to impact and preventing injury to the user.

[0035] In some technical solutions, the hinge portion is optionally provided with an oblong hole, and the second shaft is inserted into the oblong hole so that the hinge portion can move and rotate relative to the second shaft.

[0036] The hinge part is provided with an oblong hole, and the second shaft is inserted into the oblong hole, so that the hinge part and the second shaft can generate relative displacement, and the hinge part can move relative to the lower hinge in the receiving groove.

[0037] In some technical solutions, the cooking device may optionally include an upper hinge and a lower hinge. The upper hinge is connected to the upper cover assembly, and the lower hinge is connected to the base assembly. Both the upper and lower hinges are rotatably connected to the hinge portion. The lower hinge is provided with a mounting groove, and a second shaft is provided on the inner wall of the mounting groove. A portion of the hinge portion extends into the mounting groove.

[0038] A portion of the hinge extends into the mounting groove, allowing it to connect with a second shaft located inside the groove. Positioning the hinge and second shaft within the mounting groove reduces the likelihood of separation, ensuring a stable fit. Furthermore, the mounting groove also limits and supports the hinge, preventing misalignment and bending, thus reducing damage.

[0039] In some technical solutions, optionally, the base assembly is provided with a baking tray, and the minimum distance between the first shaft and the baking tray is greater than the minimum distance between the second shaft and the baking tray.

[0040] The centers of the first shaft and the second shaft are offset from each other, and the first shaft is located behind the second shaft. This arrangement helps the hinge to stably limit and support the upper cover assembly.

Detailed Implementation

[0058] To better understand the above-mentioned objectives, features, and advantages of this utility model, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in these embodiments can be combined with each other.

[0059] Many specific details are set forth in the following description in order to provide a full understanding of the present invention. However, the present invention may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein. Therefore, the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0060] The following reference Figures 1 to 13 This invention describes a grilling machine provided according to some embodiments of the present invention.

[0061] Combination Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 5 , Figure 7 , Figure 8 , Figure 11 , Figure 12 and Figure 13 As shown, in some embodiments of this utility model, a grill 100 is proposed. The grill 100 includes: a top cover assembly 110, a hinge portion 121, and a base assembly 130. The top cover assembly 110 rotates relative to the base assembly 130 between a closed position and a fully extended position. The top cover assembly 110 and the hinge portion 121 are rotatably connected by a first shaft 151, and the base assembly 130 and the hinge portion 121 are rotatably connected by a second shaft 152. A flexible element 125 is sleeved on the first shaft 151. During the rotation of the top cover assembly 110 relative to the base assembly 130 between the closed position and the fully extended position, the flexible element 125 provides a damping force to the top cover assembly 110, and / or in the fully extended position, the flexible element 125 provides a force to the top cover assembly 110 to impede the rotation of the top cover assembly 110 relative to the base assembly 130.

[0062] A hinge 121 is provided between the upper cover assembly 110 and the base assembly 130. The upper cover assembly 110 rotates relative to the base assembly 130 through the hinge 121, thereby realizing the functions of opening and closing the cover. The upper cover assembly 110 can rotate within the range of 0° to 180°. Of course, when the upper cover assembly 110 is in the closed position, the angle of the upper cover assembly 110 relative to the horizontal plane may be equal to 0° or slightly greater than 0°. When the upper cover assembly 110 is in the fully extended position, the angle of the upper cover assembly 110 relative to the horizontal plane may be equal to 180° or slightly less than 180°.

[0063] The upper hinge 123 is connected to the upper cover assembly 110, and the lower hinge 124 is connected to the base assembly 130. The upper hinge 123 and the hinge portion 121 are connected by a first shaft 151, and the lower hinge 124 and the hinge portion 121 are connected by a second shaft 152. The upper hinge 123 can rotate synchronously with the upper cover assembly 110. During the rotation of the upper cover assembly 110, the position of the lower hinge 124 remains unchanged. The upper cover assembly 110 can rotate relative to the hinge portion 121, or the upper cover assembly 110 can drive the hinge portion 121 to rotate. By installing the upper hinge 123 on the upper cover assembly 110 and the lower hinge 124 on the base assembly 130, it is not necessary to machine and form a structure on the upper cover assembly 110 and the base assembly 130 to accommodate the hinge portion 121, thereby reducing the processing difficulty of the grill 100.

[0064] A flexible element 125 is sleeved on the first shaft 151. Shaft holes are provided on the upper cover assembly 110 and the base assembly 130. The flexible element 125 is inserted into the shaft holes together with the shaft. During the rotation of the upper cover assembly 110 relative to the base assembly 130, the flexible element 125 provides a damping force to the upper cover assembly 110. For example, during the opening process, when the rotation angle of the upper cover assembly 110 is close to 180°, if the user stops applying force to the upper cover assembly 110, the upper cover assembly 110 will slowly descend under the action of the damping force. Similarly, during the closing process, the upper cover assembly 110 will also slowly descend under the action of the damping force. During the opening or closing process, the risk of the upper cover assembly 110 hitting the user's hand is reduced, thereby ensuring the safety of the user when using the grill 100. Even if the grill 100 shakes or is operated improperly, it will not hit the user's hand, reducing the risk of use and improving the safety of the user when using the grill 100.

[0065] When the top cover assembly 110 is in the maximum unfolded position, the flexible member 125 provides a force to the top cover assembly 110. The force provided by the flexible member can prevent the top cover assembly 110 from rotating relative to the base assembly 130, thereby preventing the top cover assembly 110 from collapsing under the action of gravity, so that the top cover assembly 110 remains in a horizontal state, thereby providing stable support for the food.

[0066] The top cover assembly 110 rotates relative to the base assembly 130 via a hinge portion 121 of a certain length. The base assembly 130 and the top cover assembly 110 are respectively connected to the hinge portion 121 via a rotating shaft. At this time, the hinge portion 121 is unstable during positioning and rotation. When the machine shakes, the machine may automatically close the cover, which may cause burns to the user. The use of a flexible component 125 as a damping structure can prevent the top cover assembly 110 from falling quickly and causing burns to the user.

[0067] In some embodiments, optionally, during the rotation of the cover assembly 110 from the hover position to the maximum unfolded position, the flexible element 125 provides a damping force to the cover assembly 110, the hover position being between the closed position and the maximum unfolded position.

[0068] When the top cover assembly 110 is in the hover position, it will not rotate relative to the base assembly 130. At this time, the user does not need to hold the top cover assembly 110. When the hover lock of the top cover assembly 110 is released, the top cover assembly 110 can rotate to the maximum unfolded position. During this process, the flexible component 125 provides damping force to the top cover assembly 110 to prevent the top cover assembly 110 from turning to the maximum unfolded position too quickly, and to prevent the top cover assembly 110 from bumping or injuring the user.

[0069] In some embodiments, the base assembly 130 is optionally provided with a receiving groove 131, at least a portion of the hinge portion 121 is located within the receiving groove 131, and the hinge portion 121 is movable relative to the receiving groove 131.

[0070] When at least a portion of the hinge 121 is located within the receiving groove 131 and the cover assembly 110 is in the hovered position, the hinge 121 can restrict the cover assembly 110 from rotating from the hovered position to the fully extended position.

[0071] Before the cover assembly 110 rotates from the closed position to the hovering position, the hinge portion 121 does not limit the rotation of the cover assembly 110. At this time, the rotation of the cover assembly 110 is not affected by the hinge portion 121. When the cover assembly 110 rotates to the hovering position, the hinge portion 121 limits the cover assembly 110, and at this time, the hinge portion 121 limits the cover assembly 110 to the hovering position.

[0072] When it is necessary to release the restriction on the top cover assembly 110, the hinge portion 121 needs to be moved so that the hinge portion 121 leaves the restricted position. At this time, the hinge portion 121 can rotate with the top cover assembly 110 between the suspended position and the fully extended position. In this way, the restriction on and release of the top cover assembly 110 can be conveniently achieved.

[0073] In some embodiments, optionally, a stop portion 160 is provided in the receiving groove 131, the side portion of the hinge portion 121 contacts the stop portion 160, and when the upper cover assembly 110 is in the hovering position, the hinge portion 121 restricts the upper cover assembly 110 from rotating from the hovering position to the maximum unfolded position. When the hinge portion 121 is separated from the stop portion 160, the upper cover assembly 110 can rotate from the hovering position to the maximum unfolded position.

[0074] A stop 160 is provided within the receiving groove 131. When the hinge 121 contacts the stop 160, the stop 160 restricts the hinge 121 from rotating, thereby restricting the rotation of the upper cover assembly 110. For example, when the upper cover assembly 110 rotates clockwise, it is in the opening direction. The stop 160 restricts the hinge 121 from rotating clockwise, thus restricting the upper cover assembly 110 from rotating from the suspended position to the fully extended position. Through the cooperation of the stop 160 and the hinge 121, the upper cover assembly 110 is suspended. In the suspended position, the user does not need to support the upper cover assembly 110 with their hands, which improves the convenience of using the grill.

[0075] When it is necessary to continue rotating the upper cover assembly 110 to the maximum unfolded position, the hinge portion 121 can be separated from the stop portion 160. At this time, the stop portion 160 no longer limits the hinge portion 121, thereby releasing the limitation of the hinge portion 121 on the upper cover assembly 110. When the upper cover assembly 110 rotates between the suspended position and the maximum unfolded position, the hinge portion 121 rotates together with the upper cover assembly 110.

[0076] In some embodiments, optionally, when a portion of the side of the hinge portion 121 contacts the stop portion 160, the bottom of the hinge portion 121 fits against the bottom of the receiving groove 131; when the hinge portion 121 is separated from the stop portion 160, the hinge portion 121 is spaced apart from the bottom of the groove.

[0077] The hinge portion 121 can move within the receiving groove 131. When the side of the hinge portion 121 contacts the stop portion 160, the bottom of the hinge portion 121 abuts against the bottom of the receiving groove 131. The bottom of the groove and the stop portion 160 together restrict the rotation of the hinge portion 121, further improving the positioning stability of the hinge portion 121 on the upper cover assembly 110.

[0078] In some embodiments, the hinge portion 121 is optionally provided with a first limiting portion 171, and the upper cover assembly 110 is provided with a second limiting portion 172. When the second limiting portion 172 abuts against the first limiting portion 171, the upper cover assembly 110 can drive the hinge portion 121 to rotate from the suspended position to the maximum unfolded position.

[0079] Before the cover assembly 110 rotates from the closed position to the hovering position, the second limiting part 172 is not in contact with the first limiting part 171. At this time, the hinge part 121 does not obstruct the rotation of the cover assembly 110, and the position of the hinge part 121 remains unchanged during the rotation of the cover assembly 110. When the cover assembly 110 rotates to the hovering position, the second limiting part 172 abuts against the first limiting part 171. At this time, the hinge part 121 needs to be lifted first to separate the hinge part 121 from the stop part 160. Then, the cover assembly 110 drives the hinge part 121 to rotate through the mutual abutment of the first limiting part 171 and the second limiting part 172.

[0080] Because the flexible ribs reduce the resistance to the fit, the upper cover assembly 110 cannot be positioned well when it is hovering. The limiting structure of the first limiting part 171 and the second limiting part 172 is applied to effectively position the upper cover assembly 110.

[0081] In some embodiments, optionally, from the maximum unfolded position to the hovering position, the upper cover assembly 110 drives the hinge portion 121 to rotate through the frictional force applied to the hinge portion 121 by the flexible member 125.

[0082] During the rotation of the upper cover assembly 110 from the fully extended position to the suspended position, the upper cover assembly 110 needs to drive the hinge portion 121 to rotate and reset. In this solution, the flexible member 125 applies frictional force to the hinge portion 121, thereby enabling the hinge portion 121 to rotate with the upper cover assembly 110. That is, during the rotation from the fully extended position to the suspended position, since the flexible member 125 is in a deformed state, the upper cover assembly 110 can drive the hinge portion 121 to rotate through friction during the rotation of the upper cover assembly 110. In this case, it is not necessary to set an additional structure on the upper cover assembly 110 to drive the hinge portion 121 to rotate, thereby simplifying the structure of the upper cover assembly 110.

[0083] Combination Figure 7 and Figure 9 As shown, in some embodiments, the flexible member 125 may optionally include a flexible ring 1251 and a flexible rib 1252, wherein the flexible ring 1251 is sleeved on the first shaft 151 and the flexible rib 1252 is disposed on the outer surface of the flexible ring 1251.

[0084] A flexible rib 1252 is provided on the outer surface of the flexible ring 1251. The flexible rib 1252 is relatively easy to deform. During the rotation of the upper cover assembly 110 relative to the base assembly 130, the flexible rib 1252 deforms in the shaft hole, ensuring that the flexible component 125 can stably provide damping force to the upper cover assembly 110.

[0085] The number of flexible ribs 1252 can be multiple, with adjacent flexible ribs 1252 spaced apart, and multiple flexible ribs 1252 are distributed at intervals along the length of the flexible ring 1251 to avoid adjacent flexible ribs 1252 from sticking together and affecting the deformation of the flexible ribs 1252.

[0086] Setting up flexible ribs 1252 can reduce the resistance of flexible component 125 and prevent excessive resistance from reducing the user experience.

[0087] In some embodiments, the flexible element 125 may optionally include any of the following: a silicone ring, a rubber ring, a latex ring, and a polyurethane ring.

[0088] The flexible component 125 can be made of materials such as silicone, rubber, latex or polyurethane, or a mixture of the above materials, making the flexible component 125 relatively soft and easy to deform.

[0089] In some embodiments, optionally, in the maximum unfolded position, the flexible element 125 is in a deformed state, and the flexible element 125 provides frictional force to the cover assembly.

[0090] When the flexible component 125 is in a deformed state, the deformation force of the flexible component 125 provides resistance to the rotation of the cover assembly 110. When the cover assembly 110 is in the maximum unfolded position, the flexible component 125 is in a deformed state. Therefore, when the cover assembly 110 is about to rotate to the maximum unfolded position, the resistance of the flexible component 125 on the cover assembly 110 prevents the cover assembly 110 from falling quickly, thus avoiding damage to the cover assembly 110 due to impact and preventing injury to the user.

[0091] Avoid impact damage to the joint Figure 4 , Figure 6 , Figure 9 and Figure 10 As shown, in some embodiments, optionally, a communication port 134 is provided between the bottom of the tank 128 and the stop portion 160, and the communication port 134 is used to discharge the oil in the receiving tank 131.

[0092] Liquid in the receiving tank 131 can flow out of the receiving tank 131 through the connecting port 134. Oil does not easily accumulate in the receiving tank 131, thus preventing oil from affecting the smooth movement of the hinge 121 and ensuring that the upper cover assembly 110 can smoothly rotate relative to the base assembly 130 through the hinge 121. Furthermore, the lack of liquid accumulation in the receiving tank 131 prevents bacterial growth, ensuring the safe use of the grill 100.

[0093] The base assembly 130 is provided with an oil drain hole 133, and the connecting port 134 is connected to the oil drain hole 133. The oil in the receiving tank is discharged to the outside of the grill 100 through the connecting port 134 and the oil drain hole 133 in sequence.

[0094] The base assembly 130 is provided with a control unit 140, which includes a control panel and / or control knobs. The control unit 140 and the oil drain hole 133 are located on opposite sides of the base assembly 130.

[0095] Figure 4 The arrows in the diagram are used to indicate the path through which the oil is discharged.

[0096] A control unit 140 is provided on the base assembly 130. Users can control the functions of the grill 100 through the control unit 140. For example, users can press the physical or virtual buttons on the control panel to control the function, or users can rotate the control knob to adjust the function.

[0097] The control unit 140 is usually located on the front of the grill 100. In this solution, the control unit 140 and the oil drain hole 133 are respectively located on opposite sides of the base assembly 130. Therefore, the oil drain hole 133 is located on the back of the grill 100, and the oil and residue flow out of the grill 100 from the back of the grill 100, thus preventing the oil and residue from contacting the items on both sides of the grill 100.

[0098] Combination Figure 4 , Figure 9 and Figure 10 As shown, in some embodiments, optionally, from the bottom 128 of the receiving groove 131 to the opening 129 of the receiving groove 131, a portion of the stop portion 160 bends away from the hinge portion 121, and when a portion of the stop portion 160 is in contact with the hinge portion 121, another portion of the stop portion 160 is spaced apart from the hinge portion 121.

[0099] From the bottom of the receiving groove 131 to its opening, a portion of the stop portion 160 bends away from the hinge portion 121. Because this portion of the stop portion 160 is bent relative to the hinge portion 121, a portion of the stop portion 160 fits against the hinge portion 121, while the other portion of the stop portion 160 is spaced apart from it. In this case, the contact area between the stop portion 160 and the hinge portion 121 can be reduced, making it easier to lift the hinge portion 121 upwards. Furthermore, when the hinge portion 121 rotates with the upper cover assembly 110, the bent portion of the stop portion 160 is less likely to obstruct the rotation of the hinge portion 121, allowing for rotation of the hinge portion 121 with a smaller upward stroke.

[0100] Combination Figure 7 , Figure 11 and Figure 13 As shown, in some embodiments, optionally, the hinge portion 121 is provided with an oblong hole 122, and the second shaft 152 is inserted into the oblong hole 122 so that the hinge portion 121 can move and rotate relative to the second shaft 152.

[0101] The hinge portion 121 is provided with an oblong hole 122, and the second shaft 152 is inserted into the oblong hole 122, so that the hinge portion 121 and the second shaft 152 can generate relative displacement, and the hinge portion 121 can move relative to the lower hinge 124 in the receiving groove 131.

[0102] Combination Figure 7 , Figure 11 and Figure 13 As shown, in some embodiments, optionally, the grill 100 further includes an upper hinge 123 and a lower hinge 124. The upper hinge 123 is connected to the upper cover assembly 110, and the lower hinge 124 is connected to the base assembly 130. Both the upper hinge 123 and the lower hinge 124 are rotatably connected to the hinge portion 121. The lower hinge 124 is provided with a mounting groove 126, and the second shaft 152 is provided on the inner wall of the mounting groove 126. A portion of the hinge portion 121 extends into the mounting groove 126.

[0103] A portion of the hinge 121 extends into the mounting groove 126, allowing the hinge 121 to connect with the second shaft 152 located inside the mounting groove 126. Positioning the hinge 121 and the second shaft 152 within the mounting groove 126 reduces the likelihood of separation, ensuring a stable fit. Furthermore, the mounting groove 126 also limits and supports the hinge 121, preventing it from shifting or bending, thus reducing its damage rate.

[0104] In some embodiments, the base assembly 130 is optionally provided with a baking tray 180, and the minimum distance between the first shaft 151 and the baking tray 180 is greater than the minimum distance between the second shaft 152 and the baking tray 180.

[0105] The center of the first shaft 151 and the center of the second shaft 152 are offset from each other, and the first shaft 151 is located behind the second shaft 152. This arrangement helps the hinge 121 to stably limit and support the upper cover assembly 110.
