Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of toaster lifting devices, and particularly relates to a toaster bracket lifting device. Background Technology

[0002] A toaster, also known as an automatic bread toaster or bread oven in my country, is an electric cooking appliance specifically designed for re-toasting sliced ​​bread. Using a toaster, bread slices can be toasted to a golden brown, resulting in a richer aroma and better texture, thus enhancing appetite. To toast bread, first place the bread on the bread holder and press down the exposed operating handle. This causes the bread holder to overcome spring force and move downwards along the guide shaft. When the operating handle is pressed to its lowest position, the electromagnet located at the bottom of the toaster is energized. The electromagnet then attracts the armature located below the bread holder, keeping the bread holder in its lowest position. The toaster then operates to toast the bread. When the toaster has finished its set time, the electromagnet is de-energized, and the bread holder, under the action of spring force, lifts the bread to the set position. Currently, the toaster's bracket and handle are directly connected. The stroke of pressing the handle is equal to the stroke of the bracket. Therefore, if you want to increase the length of the bread slice extending out of the toaster, you must increase the stroke of the handle to raise the height of the toaster. This makes the toaster take up a lot of space and requires an excessively long stroke of pressing the handle, which is very inconvenient. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a toaster rack lifting device, which aims to solve the technical problem that in the current technology, the rack and handle of the toaster are directly connected, and the stroke of pressing the handle is equal to the stroke of the rack. If the extension length of the bread slice is to be increased, the stroke of the handle must be increased to raise the height of the toaster, which makes the toaster occupy a large area and requires an excessively long stroke of pressing the handle, which is very inconvenient.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides a toaster rack lifting device, including a base, a baking rack, a drive assembly, and a support assembly. The baking rack is mounted on the base and is used for baking bread. The drive assembly is located on one side of the baking rack. One end of the support assembly extends into the baking rack, and the other end of the support assembly is connected to the drive assembly. The drive assembly is used to drive the support assembly to rise or fall, and the support assembly is used to support bread slices. An amplifying assembly is also included, located at the connection between the drive assembly and the support assembly, and is used to amplify the stroke of the support assembly.

[0005] Furthermore, the drive assembly includes a handle, a slider, and a guide post. The guide post is mounted on the base and located on one side of the baking rack. The slider is slidably mounted on the guide post. One end of the slider is connected to the support assembly via an amplification component. One end of the handle is connected to the slider, and the other end extends away from the baking rack. The handle is used to drive the slider to slide along the direction of the guide post.

[0006] Furthermore, the amplification component includes a connecting block and a support block. The middle part of the connecting block is connected to the slider, one end of the connecting block is rotatably connected to the bearing component, and the support block is disposed on the base and located below the other end of the connecting block.

[0007] Furthermore, the slider extends towards the handle and is provided with a latch, and also includes a locking assembly. The locking assembly includes an electromagnetic lock and a latch that cooperates with the latch. The latch is hinged to one end of the electromagnetic lock, and the driving end of the electromagnetic lock is connected to one end of the latch. The electromagnetic lock is used to drive the latch to rotate around its hinge point.

[0008] Furthermore, it also includes a return spring, one end of which is connected to the top of the baking rack and the other end is connected to the slider. The return spring is used to return the slider to the top of the guide post.

[0009] Furthermore, the support assembly includes a connecting plate and several support plates. The connecting plate is connected to the slider, and one end of each support plate is connected to the connecting plate, while the other end extends into the baking rack to support bread slices.

[0010] Furthermore, trays extend upwards on both sides of the support plate.

[0011] The toaster rack lifting device provided in this utility model embodiment has at least one of the following technical effects: When a bread slice is placed on the supporting component, the supporting component carries the bread slice. At this time, the driving component moves downwards, and the amplifying component amplifies the movement, causing the supporting component to move. This makes the stroke of the supporting component greater than the stroke of the driving component. Compared with the traditional method where the driving component and supporting component can only move at a 1:1 stroke ratio, the toaster rack lifting device provided in this utility model allows the bread slice to rise a longer distance after toasting. Simultaneously, while increasing the stroke of the supporting component, it does not increase the volume of the toaster or the stroke of the driving component, improving the safety of picking up toasted bread slices. It also avoids excessive stroke of the driving component, thus preventing an increase in the size of the toaster and changes in consumer usage habits. Attached Figure Description

Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature. In the description of embodiments of this utility model, "a plurality of" means two or more, unless otherwise explicitly specified.

[0020] In this embodiment of the invention, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," "linking," and "fixing," etc., should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral part; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; they can refer to the internal communication of two components or the interaction between two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this embodiment of the invention according to the specific circumstances.

[0021] In one embodiment of this utility model, reference is made to Figures 1-3 As shown, a toaster rack lifting device is provided, including a base 100, a baking rack 200, a drive assembly 300, and a support assembly 400. The baking rack 200 is mounted on the base 100 and is used for baking bread. The drive assembly 300 is located on one side of the baking rack 200. One end of the support assembly 400 extends into the baking rack 200, and the other end of the support assembly 400 is connected to the drive assembly 300. The drive assembly 300 is used to drive the support assembly 400 to rise or fall. The support assembly 400 is used to support bread slices. An amplifying assembly 500 is also included, located at the connection between the drive assembly 300 and the support assembly 400, and is used to amplify the stroke of the support assembly 400. In this embodiment, a bread slice is placed on the support component 400, which carries the bread slice. At this time, the drive component 300 moves downward, and the amplification component 500 amplifies the movement, causing the support component 400 to move. This makes the stroke of the support component 400 greater than that of the drive component 300. Compared with the traditional connection between the drive component 300 and the support component 400, which can only move with a one-to-one stroke, the toaster rack lifting device provided by this utility model allows the bread slice to rise a longer distance after toasting. At the same time, while increasing the stroke of the support component 400, it does not increase the volume of the toaster or the stroke of the drive component 300, thus improving the safety of picking up toasted bread slices. It also avoids excessive stroke of the drive component 300, so as not to increase the volume of the toaster or change the user's habits.

[0022] Specifically, refer to Figures 1-3As shown, the drive assembly 300 includes a handle 310, a slider 320, and a guide post 330. The guide post 330 is disposed on the base 100 and located on one side of the baking rack 200. The slider 320 is slidably disposed on the guide post 330. One end of the slider 320 is connected to the support assembly 400 via an amplification assembly 500. One end of the handle 310 is connected to the slider 320, and the other end extends away from the baking rack 200. The handle 310 is used to drive the slider 320 to slide along the direction of the guide post 330. In this embodiment, the user grasps the handle 310 and then pushes the slider 320 to move in the direction of the guide post 330, thereby driving the amplification assembly 500 and the support assembly 400 to move along the direction of the guide post 330. The amplification assembly 500 is used to amplify the stroke, magnifying the distance the slider 320 slides on the guide post 330 to the movement distance of the support assembly 400.

[0023] Specifically, refer to Figures 1-3 As shown, the amplification component 500 includes a connecting block 510 and a support block 520. The middle part of the connecting block 510 is connected to the slider 320, and one end of the connecting block 510 is rotatably connected to the bearing component 400. The support block 520 is disposed on the base 100 and located below the other end of the connecting block 510. More specifically, a spring is provided at the connection point between the connecting block 510 and the slider, and the spring is used to drive the connecting block 510 to remain parallel. In this embodiment, when the slider 320 slides downward, the connecting block 510 descends under the action of the slider 320 until one end of the connecting block 510 abuts against the support block 520. The slider 320 continues to descend, at which point the connecting block 510 begins to rotate around its connection point with the slider 320, overcoming the spring force, thus driving the bearing component 400 to descend and amplify its stroke, thereby realizing the stroke amplification function. After the bread is toasted, the slider 320 rises, the contact force between the connecting block 510 and the support block 520 decreases, and the spring-loaded connecting block 510 resets. After resetting, the amplification component 500 rises simultaneously with the slider 320, which allows the bread slices to rise a longer distance after toasting, improving the safety of picking up toasted bread slices. At the same time, it avoids excessive movement of the drive component 300, so as not to increase the size of the toaster and change the user's habits.

[0024] Specifically, refer to Figures 1-3As shown, the slider 320 extends towards the handle 310 and is provided with a hook 321. It also includes a locking assembly 600, which includes an electromagnetic lock 610 and a locking hook 620 that cooperates with the hook 321. The locking hook 620 is hinged to one end of the electromagnetic lock 610, and the driving end of the electromagnetic lock 610 is connected to one end of the locking hook 620. The electromagnetic lock 610 drives the locking hook 620 to rotate around its hinge point. In this embodiment, when the slider 320 reaches the bottom of the guide post 330, the hook 321 abuts against the locking hook, pushing the locking hook to rotate. When the hook 321 descends to its lowest point, the electromagnetic lock 610 drives the locking hook to reset and lock the hook 321, allowing the bread slice to continue to be baked in the baking rack 200. After baking is complete, the electromagnetic lock 610 drives the locking hook 620 to rotate, and the locking hook 620 no longer limits the hook 321. The slider 320 moves upward, causing the bread slice to extend out of the baking rack 200.

[0025] Specifically, refer to Figures 1-3 As shown, a return spring 700 is also included. One end of the return spring 700 is connected to the top of the baking rack 200, and the other end is connected to the slider 320. The return spring 700 is used to return the slider 320 to the top of the guide post 330. In this embodiment, when the bread slice needs to be baked, the slider 320 moves downward, and the return spring 700 is stretched to store elastic potential energy. After baking is completed, the electromagnetic lock 610 drives the locking hook 620 to rotate, and the locking hook 620 no longer limits the locking hook 321. The return spring 700 returns to its original position, causing the slider 320 to rise automatically without the need for manual lifting of the slider 320, making the operation convenient.

[0026] Specifically, refer to Figures 1-3 As shown, the support assembly 400 includes a connecting plate 410 and several support plates 420. The connecting plate 410 is connected to the slider 320. One end of each support plate 420 is connected to the connecting plate 410, and the other end extends into the baking rack 200 to support bread slices. In this embodiment, multiple support plates 420 can bake multiple bread slices simultaneously, improving the baking efficiency of the bread slices.

[0027] Specifically, refer to Figures 1-3 As shown, trays 421 extend upward from both sides of the support plate 420. In this embodiment, the trays 421 are used to fix the bread slices, so that the bread slices are stably placed on the support plate 420.

[0028] The rest of this embodiment is the same as that in Embodiment 1. Features not explained in this embodiment are explained using the methods in Embodiment 1, and will not be repeated here.

[0029] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
