[0036] 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.

[0037] Please see Figures 1-5The present invention provides the following technical solution: a sandwich maker that is easy to clean, comprising two double-opening lids 1 connected in a split manner and a heating baking tray 2 disposed in the double-opening lids 1, further comprising: a positioning component 3 and a locking component 4, wherein the locking component 4 comprises: a mounting plate 41, a locking pin 43, a first limiting ring 44 and a return spring 45.

[0038] Furthermore, by Figures 1-5 As shown, in this embodiment, the positioning component 3 includes a C-shaped positioning strip 31 fixed to the back of the heating baking pan 2 and a positioning rod 33 fixed inside the double-opening cover 1. A positioning groove 311 for the positioning rod 33 to be inserted is provided in the C-shaped positioning strip 31. A locking groove 21 is provided at one end of the heating baking pan 2. The mounting plate 41 is fixed to the outer wall of the double-opening cover 1 by the fixing rod 42. The locking pin 43 penetrates the mounting plate 41 and the double-opening cover 1 and is inserted into the locking groove 21. The end face of the insertion end of the locking pin 43 has a guide slope 431. The first limiting ring 44 is fixed on the locking pin 43 and is located between the double-opening cover 1 and the mounting plate 41. The reset spring 45 is sleeved on the locking pin 43 and is located between the double-opening cover 1 and the mounting plate 41. With the above solution, when it is necessary to install the heating baking pan 2, the double-opening cover 1 is opened first, and the heating baking pan 2 is placed inside the double-opening cover 1.

[0039] First, the heating baking pan 2 is positioned using the positioning component 3. The heating baking pan 2 is placed into the double-opening lid 1 at an angle, and the C-shaped positioning strip 31 is aligned with the positioning rod 33 fixed in the double-opening lid 1. As the heating baking pan 2 moves, the positioning rod 33 gradually embeds into the positioning groove 311 in the C-shaped positioning strip 31. Through this embedding and cooperation, the initial positioning of the heating baking pan 2 in the double-opening lid 1 is achieved, ensuring that the heating baking pan 2 is in the correct installation position, laying the foundation for the subsequent locking operation.

[0040] Once the heating baking tray 2 is positioned, it needs to be locked using the locking component 4 to ensure that the heating baking tray 2 does not shift during the sandwich making process.

[0041] In the initial state, the return spring 45 is in a natural state or slightly compressed state, and the embedded end of the locking pin 43 is not inserted into the locking groove 21 of the heating baking pan 2. When the user needs to lock the heating baking pan 2, he pushes down the free end of the heating baking pan 2 to make the tilted heating baking pan 2 gradually horizontal. During this period, the free end of the heating baking pan 2 will press down on the guide slope 431 of the end face of the embedded end of the locking pin 43.

[0042] During the movement, the guide slope 431 contacts the end of the heating baking pan 2. The guide slope 431 generates a component force, which pushes the locking pin 43 to move towards the outside of the double-opening lid 1. As the heating baking pan 2 closes, the locking pin 43 continues to move, and the guide slope 431 guides the locking pin 43 to accurately align with the locking groove 21.

[0043] When the heating baking pan 2 is completely closed, the locking pin 43 is aligned with the locking groove 21. Under the elastic force of the return spring 45, the locking pin 43 is reset and its end is stably embedded in the locking groove 21, thereby locking the heating baking pan 2. At the same time, the positioning rod 33 is embedded in the positioning groove 311 to form a lock, which restricts the longitudinal displacement of the heating baking pan 2 and ensures the stability of the installation of the heating baking pan 2.

[0044] The first limiting ring 44 is fixed on the locking pin 43 and is located between the double-opening cover 1 and the mounting plate 41. Its function is to limit the movement range of the locking pin 43, prevent the locking pin 43 from moving excessively during the movement and leaving the normal working position, and ensure the stability and reliability of the locking operation.

[0045] When the sandwich is finished and the sandwich maker needs to be cleaned, simply unlock the locking component 4 by pulling out the locking pin 43. After the locking pin 43 disengages from the locking slot 21, the heating baking tray 2 flips up. The positioning rod 33 and the C-shaped positioning strip 31 form a rotating structure, allowing the heating baking tray 2 to rotate around the positioning rod 33. Once the heating baking tray 2 has flipped up to a certain angle and completely disengaged from the locking pin 43, it can be removed for cleaning.

[0046] In this invention, the positioning component 3 is used to position the heating baking pan 2, and the locking component 4 is used to lock and quickly disassemble the heating baking pan 2. A single person can quickly unlock and remove the heating baking pan 2, solving the problem of the prior art requiring operation from both sides. While ensuring fast locking and locking stability, it can also achieve quick disassembly.

[0047] Preferably, by Figures 1-5 As shown in this embodiment, the locking pin 43 is a square rod, and a square hole 11 is provided on the double-opening cover 1 for the locking pin 43 to pass through. After adopting the above solution, when in use, the rigid fit between the square rod and the square hole 11 forms a geometric anti-rotation structure.

[0048] When the locking pin 43 passes through the square hole 11, its cross-sectional corners fit tightly against the right-angled side of the hole wall. Structurally, this prevents the locking pin 43 from rotating circumferentially during insertion and removal, ensuring that the guide slope 431 of the locking pin 43 always maintains the preset orientation. This avoids misalignment of the guide slope 431 due to the rotation of the locking pin 43, thereby ensuring that the guide slope 431 can accurately guide the locking pin 43 into the locking groove 21 when locking, and can also quickly withdraw by applying force in a fixed direction when unlocking, greatly improving the stability and reliability of the operation.

[0049] Preferably, by Figures 1-4 As shown, the outer wall of the locking pin 43 fits into the inner wall of the square hole 11. With the above solution, during use, on the one hand, this fit forms a full circumferential sealing structure, blocking the passage for food scraps, grease and other contaminants to enter the interior of the double-opening cover 1.

[0050] On the other hand, this fit forms a geometric constraint, preventing the locking pin 43 from rotating, thereby avoiding the problem of misalignment of the guide ramp 431 caused by the rotation of the locking pin 43.

[0051] Preferably, by Figures 1-4 As shown, there are four fixing rods 42 arranged diagonally. With the above scheme, when in use, the four fixing rods 42 are arranged diagonally in a rectangle to form a stable quadrilateral support system, ensuring the stability of the mounting plate 41 and the locking pin 43, and avoiding displacement or bending damage caused by local stress concentration.

[0052] Preferably, by Figures 1-4 As shown, it further includes: a pull ring 46, which is fixed to the end of the locking pin 43 away from the double-opening cover 1. With the above solution, during use, the pull ring 46 facilitates the operator to pull the locking pin 43 to move.

[0053] Preferably, by Figures 1-4 As shown, it further includes: a second limiting ring 47, which is fixed to the locking pin 43 and close to one end of the pull ring 46. With the above scheme, when in use, the second limiting ring 47 cooperates with the first limiting ring 44 to form a two-way limiting system, which restricts the movement range of the locking pin 43, prevents the locking pin 43 from moving excessively during the movement and leaving the normal working position, and ensures the stability and reliability of the locking operation.

[0054] Preferably, by Figures 1-3 As shown, it further includes: two fixing blocks 32, which are symmetrically fixed inside the double-opening cover 1, and a positioning rod 33 is fixed between the two fixing blocks 32. With the above scheme, in use, the positioning rod 33 is fixed by the two symmetrically arranged fixing blocks 32 to ensure the stability of the positioning rod 33.

[0055] Preferably, by Figures 1-3 As shown, the diameter of the positioning rod 33 is equal to the width of the positioning groove 311. With the above scheme, when the positioning rod 33 is embedded in the positioning groove 311, the outer wall of the positioning rod 33 abuts against the inner wall of the positioning groove 311, which effectively restricts the longitudinal displacement of the heating baking pan 2 and avoids the problem of longitudinal jumping of the heating baking pan 2 during operation.

[0056] The circuit connection involved in this utility model is a common method used by those skilled in the art, and technical inspiration can be obtained through a limited number of experiments. It belongs to the widely used prior art.

[0057] Components not described in detail in this article are existing technologies.

[0058] The working principle and usage process of this utility model: When using the sandwich maker of this utility model, when it is necessary to install the heating baking tray 2, first open the double-opening cover 1 and put the heating baking tray 2 into the double-opening cover 1.

[0059] First, the heating baking pan 2 is positioned using the positioning component 3. The heating baking pan 2 is placed into the double-opening lid 1 at an angle, and the C-shaped positioning strip 31 is aligned with the positioning rod 33 fixed in the double-opening lid 1. As the heating baking pan 2 moves, the positioning rod 33 gradually embeds into the positioning groove 311 in the C-shaped positioning strip 31. Through this embedding and cooperation, the initial positioning of the heating baking pan 2 in the double-opening lid 1 is achieved, ensuring that the heating baking pan 2 is in the correct installation position, laying the foundation for the subsequent locking operation.

[0060] Once the heating baking tray 2 is positioned, it needs to be locked using the locking component 4 to ensure that the heating baking tray 2 does not shift during the sandwich making process;

[0061] In the initial state, the return spring 45 is in a natural state or slightly compressed state, and the embedded end of the locking pin 43 is not inserted into the locking groove 21 of the heating baking pan 2. When the user needs to lock the heating baking pan 2, he pushes down the free end of the heating baking pan 2 to make the tilted heating baking pan 2 gradually horizontal. During this period, the free end of the heating baking pan 2 will press down the guide slope 431 of the end face of the embedded end of the locking pin 43.

[0062] During the movement, the guide slope 431 contacts the end of the heating baking pan 2. The guide slope 431 will generate a component force when subjected to force, which will push the locking pin 43 to move towards the outside of the double-opening lid 1. As the heating baking pan 2 closes, the locking pin 43 continues to move, and the guide slope 431 guides the locking pin 43 to accurately align with the locking groove 21.

[0063] When the heating baking tray 2 is completely closed, the locking pin 43 is aligned with the locking groove 21. Under the elastic force of the return spring 45, the locking pin 43 is reset and its end is stably embedded in the locking groove 21, thereby locking the heating baking tray 2. At the same time, the positioning rod 33 is embedded in the positioning groove 311 to form a lock, which restricts the longitudinal displacement of the heating baking tray 2 and ensures the stability of the installation of the heating baking tray 2.

[0064] The first limiting ring 44 is fixed on the locking pin 43 and is located between the double-opening cover 1 and the mounting plate 41. Its function is to limit the movement range of the locking pin 43, prevent the locking pin 43 from moving excessively during the movement and leaving the normal working position, and ensure the stability and reliability of the locking operation.

[0065] When the sandwich is finished and the sandwich maker needs to be cleaned, simply unlock the locking component 4 by pulling out the locking pin 43. After the locking pin 43 disengages from the locking slot 21, the heating baking tray 2 flips up. The positioning rod 33 and the C-shaped positioning strip 31 form a rotating structure, allowing the heating baking tray 2 to rotate around the positioning rod 33. When the heating baking tray 2 flips up to a certain angle and completely disengages from the locking pin 43, the heating baking tray 2 can be removed for cleaning.

[0066] In this invention, the positioning component 3 is used to position the heating baking pan 2, and the locking component 4 is used to lock and quickly disassemble the heating baking pan 2. A single person can quickly unlock and remove the heating baking pan 2, solving the problem of the prior art requiring operation from both sides. While ensuring fast locking and locking stability, it can also achieve quick disassembly.

[0067] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the utility model. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features.
