Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of cooking appliances technology, and in particular to a grill. Background Technology

[0002] Grills typically consist of a base assembly and a top cover assembly. Traditional grills have non-removable top and base assemblies, making them inconvenient to use. With technological advancements, grills with detachable top covers have emerged. These grills allow for easy removal of the top cover assembly, making cleaning very convenient.

[0003] The applicant previously invented a grill, in which a coupler is provided on the hinge assembly. The coupler includes an upper connector and a lower connector, which cooperate to achieve mechanical and electrical connection between the upper cover assembly and the base assembly. However, this type of grill is prone to causing the upper cover assembly to be directly removed due to excessive force when opening the lid, or causing the upper cover assembly to move unnecessarily relative to the base assembly, resulting in poor electrical contact and poor conductivity, leading to a poor user experience. Utility Model Content

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a grill that can prevent undesirable loosening of the connection between the top cover assembly and the base assembly.

[0005] A grill includes a base assembly, a top cover assembly, and a hinge assembly. The top cover assembly is rotatably connected to the base assembly via the hinge assembly. The hinge assembly includes a first hinge and a second hinge. One of the first hinge and the second hinge is rotatably connected to the base assembly, and the other is rotatably connected to the top cover assembly. The first hinge and the second hinge are detachably connected. The first hinge has a movable locking member, and the second hinge has a mating part. The locking member and the mating part cooperate to lock the connection between the first hinge and the second hinge. When the locking member disengages from the mating part, the connection between the first hinge and the second hinge is released.

[0006] The grill provided in this application features detachable first and second hinges, with locking elements and mating parts respectively on each hinge. During use, as long as the locking elements and mating parts engage, keeping the first and second hinges locked, the connection between the top cover assembly and the base assembly remains stable, preventing loosening. When the top cover assembly needs to be removed, simply controlling the locking element to disengage from the mating part releases the connection between the first and second hinges, allowing for easy removal of the top cover assembly and greatly facilitating cleaning.

[0007] In one embodiment, the locking member has a rotating part, the locking member is rotatably connected to the first hinge through the rotating part, the locking member has a locking part for engaging with the mating part, and the first hinge also has an elastic member, the elastic member applying a force to the locking member to move the locking part toward the mating part.

[0008] Thus, the locking element is rotatably mounted on the first hinge, resulting in a very compact structure. By incorporating an elastic element, the locking part can remain in the locked engagement state, meaning that the locking part can only disengage from the engagement under external force. When the external force is removed, the elastic force of the elastic element allows the locking part to automatically return to the locked engagement state, thereby ensuring that the locking element locks the first and second hinges.

[0009] In one embodiment, the first hinge has a connecting portion at one end, and the second hinge has a receiving groove at one end. When the first hinge and the second hinge are connected, the connecting portion is inserted into the receiving groove. The first hinge has a receiving cavity inside, and the locking member and the elastic member are disposed in the receiving cavity. The side wall of the connecting portion has a clearance hole, and the locking portion extends out of the clearance hole. The mating portion is a lock hole disposed on the side wall of the receiving groove. When the first hinge is connected to the second hinge, the elastic force of the elastic member causes the locking portion to pass into the lock hole.

[0010] In this way, the locking and elastic components are hidden inside the first hinge, which not only prevents damage to the locking and elastic components but also maintains the aesthetic appearance of the grill. The mating part is set as a lock hole. The locking part can lock the first and second hinges by simply inserting it into the lock hole, and can be released by removing it from the lock hole. The structure is very simple and easy to operate.

[0011] In one embodiment, the locking member is provided with an unlocking part, and an external force applied to the unlocking part can cause the locking member to rotate around the rotating part, so that the locking part disengages from the mating part.

[0012] With this design, the user only needs to apply force to the unlocking part to control the rotation of the locking part, thereby disengaging the locking part from the mating part, making the operation very convenient.

[0013] In one embodiment, the rotating part and the locking part are respectively disposed at both ends of the locking member, and the unlocking part is disposed between the locking part and the rotating part.

[0014] In this way, pressing the unlocking part will cause the locking part to rotate, and the unlocking part only needs to move a short distance to make the locking part move a large distance, thus making it easier to control the locking part to disengage from the keyhole.

[0015] In one embodiment, the elastic member abuts between the locking member and the inner wall of the receiving cavity, and is disposed close to the locking portion.

[0016] In this way, the elastic element only needs to apply a small force to the locking part to lock the keyhole.

[0017] In one embodiment, the first hinge has a first exposed surface exposed outside the grill, the first exposed surface having an exposed hole through which the unlocking part is exposed.

[0018] In this way, users can press the unlocking part from the outside of the grill for easy operation.

[0019] In one embodiment, the second hinge has a second exposed surface that is visible outside the grill, and the keyhole extends through the second exposed surface.

[0020] In this way, users can observe from the outside of the grill whether the locking part extends into the lock hole, realizing the visualization of the locking and unlocking states of the first and second hinges.

[0021] In one embodiment, a coupler is further included to electrically connect the top cover assembly and the base assembly. The coupler includes a first connector disposed on a first hinge and a second connector disposed on a second hinge. When the first hinge and the second hinge are connected, the first connector and the second connector are electrically connected.

[0022] In this way, the electronic components in the top cover assembly and the electronic components in the base assembly can be electrically connected through the cooperation of the first connector and the second connector, ensuring the normal operation of the grill.

[0023] In one embodiment, the hinge assembly includes two pairs of first hinges and second hinges, the two pairs of first hinges and second hinges being spaced apart, wherein one pair of first hinges and second hinges is provided with a cooperating locking element and a cooperating portion, and the other pair of first hinges and second hinges is provided with a cooperating first connector and a second connector.

[0024] This design allows for a space between the two pairs of first and second hinges to accommodate the oil inlet of the baking pan, making the grill very compact. On the other hand, the locking structure (locking element and mating part) and coupler can be placed in different pairs of first and second hinges, resulting in a very reasonable spatial arrangement that prevents mutual interference.

[0025] In one embodiment, the first hinge or the second hinge connected to the upper cover assembly is defined as an upper hinge, and the hinge assembly further includes a link connecting the two upper hinges.

[0026] In this way, by setting the connecting rod, the synchronicity of the rotation of the two upper hinges can be ensured, so that when installing the removed upper cover assembly, it is easy to align the two pairs of first and second hinges, thus facilitating the connection of the upper cover assembly to the base assembly.

Many specific details are set forth in the following description to provide a thorough understanding of this application. However, this application can be implemented in many other ways different from those described herein, and those skilled in the art can make similar modifications without departing from the spirit of this application. Therefore, this application is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0041] It should be noted that when a component is referred to as being "fixed to" or "set on" another component, it can be directly on the other component or there may be an intermediate component. When a component is considered to be "connected to" another component, it can be directly connected to the other component or there may be an intermediate component present. The terms "vertical," "horizontal," "upper," "lower," "left," "right," and similar expressions used in this application's specification are for illustrative purposes only and do not represent the only possible implementation.

[0044] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used in this application have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this application belongs. The terminology used in this application is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the application. The term "and / or" as used in this application includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.

[0045] Please see Figures 1 to 5 This application provides a grill, including a base assembly 10, a top cover assembly 20, and a hinge assembly 30. The top cover assembly 20 is rotatably connected to the base assembly 10 via the hinge assembly 30. The hinge assembly 30 includes a first hinge 31 and a second hinge 32. One of the first hinge 31 and the second hinge 32 is rotatably connected to the base assembly 10, and the other is rotatably connected to the top cover assembly 20. The first hinge 31 and the second hinge 32 are detachably connected. It is understood that when the first hinge 31 and the second hinge 32 are connected, the top cover assembly 20 and the base assembly 10 are connected; when the first hinge 31 and the second hinge 32 are separated, the top cover assembly 20 and the base assembly 10 are separated. In this embodiment, the first hinge 31 is provided with a movable locking member 40, and the second hinge 32 is provided with a mating part 50. The locking member 40 and the mating part 50 cooperate to lock the connection between the first hinge 31 and the second hinge 32. When the locking member 40 disengages from the mating part 50, it releases the connection lock on the first hinge 31 and the second hinge 32. Thus, during use, as long as the locking member 40 and the mating part 50 are engaged and remain in the locked state of the first hinge 31 and the second hinge 32, the connection between the upper cover assembly 20 and the base assembly 10 is kept stable, preventing loosening. When it is necessary to remove the upper cover assembly 20, simply control the movement of the locking member 40 to disengage from the mating part 50, thereby releasing the connection lock on the first hinge 31 and the second hinge 32, allowing the upper cover assembly 20 to be easily removed and greatly facilitating cleaning.

[0046] Please see Figure 6 and Figure 7Furthermore, the locking member 40 is provided with a rotating part 43, which rotatably connects the locking member 40 to the first hinge 31. The locking member 40 is provided with a locking part 42 for engaging with the mating part 50. The first hinge 31 is also provided with an elastic member 60, which applies a force to the locking member 40 to move the locking part 42 toward the mating part 50. Thus, the locking member 40 is rotatably mounted on the first hinge 31, resulting in a very compact structure. By providing the elastic member 60, the locking part 42 can be kept in the state of locking the mating part 50, so that the locking part 42 can only be disengaged from the mating part 50 under the action of external force. When the external force is removed, the elastic force of the elastic member 60 can cause the locking part 42 to automatically return to the state of locking the mating part 50, thereby ensuring that the locking member 40 locks the first hinge 31 and the second hinge 32.

[0047] Furthermore, the first hinge 31 has a connecting part 312 at one end, and the second hinge 32 has a receiving groove 321 at one end. When the first hinge 31 and the second hinge 32 are connected, the connecting part 312 is inserted into the receiving groove 321. The first hinge 31 has a receiving cavity 311 inside, and the locking member 40 and the elastic member 60 are disposed in the receiving cavity 311. The side wall of the connecting part 312 has a clearance hole 313, and the locking part 42 extends out of the clearance hole 313. The mating part 50 is a lock hole disposed on the side wall of the receiving groove 321. When the first hinge 31 is connected to the second hinge 32, the elastic force of the elastic member 60 causes the locking part 42 to pass into the lock hole. In this way, the locking member 40 and the elastic member 60 are hidden inside the first hinge 31, which not only avoids damage to the locking member 40 and the elastic member 60, but also maintains the aesthetic appearance of the grill. The mating part 50 is set as a lock hole, such as Figure 6 As shown, the locking part 42 can lock the first hinge 31 and the second hinge 32 simply by extending into the lock hole; as Figure 7 As shown, the locking part 42 can be released from the lock hole once it leaves the lock hole. The structure is very simple and easy to operate.

[0048] Please see Figure 5 The locking member 40 is provided with an unlocking part 41. When an external force is applied to the unlocking part 41, the locking member 40 can rotate around the rotating part 43, thereby disengaging the locking part 42 from the engaging part 50. In this way, the user only needs to apply force to the unlocking part 41 to control the rotation of the locking member 40, thereby disengaging the locking part 42 from the engaging part 50, which is very convenient to operate.

[0049] like Figures 5 to 7As shown, in one embodiment, the rotating part 43 and the locking part 42 are respectively disposed at both ends of the locking member 40, and the unlocking part 41 is disposed between the locking part 42 and the rotating part 43. Thus, by pressing the unlocking part 41, the locking member 40 can be rotated, and the unlocking part 41 only needs to move a short distance to move the locking part 42 a large distance, thereby making it easier to control the locking part 42 to disengage from the keyhole. However, this is not a limitation; in other embodiments, the locking part and the unlocking part can be disposed at both ends of the locking member, and the rotating part can be disposed between the locking part and the unlocking part. The key is that pressing the unlocking part can cause the locking member to rotate around the rotating part, thereby disengaging the locking part from the keyhole.

[0050] In this embodiment, the rotating part 43 is configured as a rotating shaft, and the first hinge 31 is provided with a rotating hole 315, in which the rotating shaft is installed. However, it is not limited to this. In other embodiments, the rotating part can also be configured as a rotating hole, and the first hinge is provided with a rotating shaft. The rotating shaft and the rotating hole cooperate to rotate the locking member onto the first hinge.

[0051] Furthermore, the elastic element 60 abuts against the locking element 40 and the inner wall of the receiving cavity 311, and is disposed close to the locking part 42. Thus, the elastic element 60 only needs to provide a small force to the locking part 42 to lock the lock hole. In this embodiment, the elastic element 60 is a compression spring, which has a simple structure and is easy to install. However, it is not limited to this; in other embodiments, the elastic element can also be a tension spring, torsion spring, or elastic rope, or other elastic elements capable of providing elastic force. It is understood that when the elastic element 60 is other types of elastic elements, the installation position of the elastic element 60 is adaptively adjusted to ensure that the elastic force applied by the elastic element 60 to the locking element 40 can move the locking part 42 towards the mating part 50.

[0052] Please see Figure 2 , Figures 4 to 7 Furthermore, the first hinge 31 has a first exposed surface 316 protruding from the outside of the grill, and the first exposed surface 316 has an exposed hole 3161 through which the unlocking part 41 protrudes. Thus, the user can press the unlocking part 41 from the outside of the grill for convenient operation. Please refer to... Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, when the top cover assembly 20 is closed on the base assembly 10, the first exposed surface 316 faces away from the cooking cavity 102 inside the grill.

[0053] Please see Figure 2 , Figures 4 to 7 The second hinge 32 has a second exposed surface 322 that is visible outside the grill, and a lock hole passes through the second exposed surface 322. In this way, the user can observe from outside the grill whether the locking part 42 is inserted into the lock hole, thus realizing the visualization of the locked and unlocked states of the first hinge 31 and the second hinge 32.

[0054] In this embodiment, the first exposed surface 316 and the second exposed surface 322 are located on the same side of the hinge assembly 30, which makes it convenient for the user to press the unlocking part 41 and for the user to observe whether the locking part 42 extends into the lock hole.

[0055] like Figures 5 to 7 As shown, the first hinge 31 includes a hinge body 317 and a hinge cover 318. The hinge body 317 is hollow, forming a receiving cavity 311. One end of the hinge body 317 has a cavity opening, and the hinge cover 318 is located at the cavity opening. The connecting part 312 and the clearance hole 313 are both located on the hinge body 317 and are positioned away from the hinge cover 318. This facilitates the installation of the locking member 40 and the elastic member 60 inside the first hinge 31. In this embodiment, please refer to... Figures 6 to 8 The hinge body 317 and the hinge cover 318 together form an exposed hole 3161. The hinge cover 318 is provided with a support plate 314, and the support plate 314 is provided with a through hole facing the hinge cover 318. The through hole forms a rotating hole 315. Thus, when installing the first hinge 31, the elastic member 60 and the locking member 40 can be installed in the hinge cover 318 first, and the locking part 42 can be extended out of the clearance hole 313. Then, the hinge cover 318 is installed on one end of the hinge body 317, and the assembly of the first hinge 31 can be completed.

[0056] Please see Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 9 and Figure 10 The grill also includes a coupler 70 that electrically connects the top cover assembly 20 and the base assembly 10. The coupler 70 includes a first connector 71 located on a first hinge 31 and a second connector 72 located on a second hinge 32. When the first hinge 31 and the second hinge 32 are connected, the first connector 71 and the second connector 72 are electrically connected. Thus, through the cooperation of the first connector 71 and the second connector 72, electrical connection can be achieved between the electronic components in the top cover assembly 20 and the electronic components in the base assembly 10, ensuring the normal operation of the grill.

[0057] It is understood that the base assembly 10 includes a bottom shell 11 and a lower baking pan 12, and the upper cover assembly 20 includes an upper shell 21 and an upper baking pan 22. When the upper cover assembly 20 is closed on the base assembly 10, the upper baking pan 22 and the lower baking pan 12 enclose the cooking cavity 102.

[0058] For ease of description, the first hinge 31 or the second hinge 32 connected to the base assembly 10 is defined as the lower hinge. In other words, if the first hinge 31 is connected to the base assembly 10, then the first hinge 31 is the lower hinge; if the second hinge 32 is connected to the base assembly 10, then the second hinge 32 is the lower hinge. Similarly, the first hinge 31 or the second hinge 32 connected to the upper cover assembly 20 is defined as the upper hinge. In this embodiment, the first hinge 31 is the lower hinge and the second hinge 32 is the upper hinge. Of course, in other embodiments, the first hinge 31 may be the upper hinge and the second hinge 32 may be the lower hinge.

[0059] The lower hinge is movably mounted on the base assembly 10. For details, please refer to [link to details]. Figure 11 The bottom shell 11 is provided with a hinge groove 111, and the side wall of the hinge groove 111 is provided with a movable hole 112 extending in the vertical direction. Please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 4 and Figure 5 The lower hinge has a lower connecting shaft 319, which is movably inserted through the movable hole 112. Thus, the lower hinge is movably positioned in the hinge groove 111, allowing the upper cover assembly 20 to move vertically relative to the base assembly 10. During cooking, food can lift the upper cover assembly 20, making the grill suitable for cooking foods that expand easily. Furthermore, when the lower connecting shaft 319 moves to the upper end of the movable hole 112, it can rotate relative to the hole, allowing the lower hinge to change from an upright state to a flat state, and it can also rotate in the opposite direction. The upper hinge and the upper cover assembly 20 are rotatably connected. This allows the upper cover assembly 20 to be flipped and unfolded, thus enabling the grill to open and close.

[0060] In this embodiment, please refer to Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 9The hinge assembly 30 includes two pairs of first hinges 31 and second hinges 32, which are spaced apart. One pair of first hinges 31 and second hinges 32 is provided with a locking member 40 and a mating part 50, while the other pair of first hinges 31 and second hinges 32 is provided with a mating first connector 71 and a second connector 72. When the upper cover assembly 20 is opened to the upright position, the liquid (oil or water) on the upper baking pan 22 will flow downwards under its own gravity. To prevent the liquid from falling onto the countertop, an oil collection port 121 is usually provided on the lower baking pan 12 to catch the liquid flowing down from the upper baking pan 22. In this embodiment, by setting two pairs of spaced-apart first hinges 31 and second hinges 32, on the one hand, space can be left between the two pairs of first hinges 31 and second hinges 32 to accommodate the oil inlet 121 of the baking pan 12, making the structure of the grill very compact. On the other hand, the locking structure (locking member 40 and mating part 50) and coupler 70 can be respectively set in different pairs of first hinges 31 and second hinges 32, and the spatial arrangement is very reasonable, so there will be no mutual interference.

[0061] Further, please see Figure 9 The hinge assembly 30 also includes a connecting rod 33, which connects the two upper hinges. By setting the connecting rod 33, the synchronicity of the rotation of the two upper hinges can be ensured, so that when installing the upper cover assembly 20, it is easy to align the two pairs of first hinges 31 and second hinges 32, thereby facilitating the connection of the upper cover assembly 20 to the base assembly 10.

[0062] Of course, in other embodiments, only one pair of first and second hinges may be provided, and the locking structure and coupler may be located on different sides of the pair of first and second hinges, as long as their installation positions do not affect each other. Accordingly, the oil inlet of the lower baking pan may be located on the outside of the hinge assembly, as long as the oil inlet can catch the liquid flowing down from the upper baking pan.

[0063] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined in any way. For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

[0064] The embodiments described above are merely illustrative of several implementation methods of this application, and while the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the patent application. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this application, and these all fall within the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, the patent protection scope of this application should be determined by the appended claims.
