[0023] When ordinal numbers such as "first" and "second" are mentioned in the embodiments of this application, unless they actually express the meaning of order according to the context, they should be understood as being used only for distinction.

[0024] In the description of this application, it should be noted that, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "linking" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; 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; and they can refer to the internal connection between two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this application based on the specific circumstances.

[0025] Example: Figures 1 to 4 The dust cover shown is for use on cooking equipment. It includes multiple interlocking panels 1 distributed circumferentially. Each interlocking panel 1 has an interlocking structure 11 on one side and a groove structure 12 on the other. The interlocking structure 11 and the groove structure 12 interlock to allow for detachable connection between adjacent interlocking panels 1. With this design, when the dust cover is needed, several interlocking panels 1 are simply joined together via the interlocking structure 11 and the groove structure 12 to form a semi-enclosed dust cover. The opening size can be adjusted by changing the number of interlocking panels 1. After use, the panels can be disassembled and stored. Installation and disassembly are convenient, storage is easy, space-saving, and the opening size is controllable.

[0026] Furthermore, the recessed structure 12 includes an inner recess 121 located on the inner side of the snap-fit ​​plate 1, and the snap-fit ​​structure 11 includes a snap-fit ​​portion 111 that snaps into the inner side of the inner recess 121. The snap-fit ​​portion 111 can be configured as several hooks, or it can be configured with the inner recess 121 to form an arc-shaped snap-fit ​​structure, or it can be configured as other adhesive structures such as Velcro or screw connections, depending on the usage. This simple structure achieves the connection between the snap-fit ​​plates 1, making the snap-fit ​​plates 1 detachable and allowing them to be removed and stored to save space during use.

[0027] Furthermore, the snap-fit ​​portion 111 includes a hook portion 1111 and a shaping unit 1112. The inner groove 121 includes a snap-fit ​​groove 1211 that snaps into the hook portion 1111 and a limiting groove 1212 that limits the shaping unit 1112. The snap-fit ​​engagement of the hook portion 1111 and the snap-fit ​​groove 1211, combined with the limiting groove 1212, improves the fit of the entire assembly structure and reduces the stress on the hook portion 1111, preventing deformation of the hook portion 1111 under stress. This maintains a good seal of the assembly structure, and the structural design makes the snap-fit ​​plate 1 easy to install and remove, improves stability, and saves storage space.

[0028] Furthermore, the shaping unit 1112 is arc-shaped, and the limiting groove 1212 is adapted to the shape of the shaping unit 1112. The arc matching between the shaping unit 1112 and the limiting groove 1212 improves the fit of the combined structure, making the fastening plate 1 easy to install and remove and improving its stability, while saving storage space.

[0029] Furthermore, the snap-fit ​​structure 11 is provided with a covering unit 112, and the slot structure 12 includes an outer slot 122 located on the outer side of the snap-fit ​​plate 1. The covering unit 112 cooperates to cover the outer side of the outer slot 122. The covering unit 112 cooperates to cover the outer slot 122, making the outer surface of the snap-fit ​​plate 1 more neat after assembly, and at the same time covering the gaps between the plates, reducing the entry of foreign objects into the interior, and better achieving dust prevention.

[0030] Furthermore, the design of the inner groove 121 and the outer groove 122 allows the snap-fit ​​plates 1 to clamp each other, improving the combination stability of the snap-fit ​​plates 1, making them less prone to disassembly and separation during use, and improving the sealing degree of the combined structure.

[0031] Furthermore, the fastening plate 1 is provided with a snap-fit ​​part 13, which includes a hook 131 located at the bottom of one side of the fastening plate 1 and a slot 132 located at the bottom of the other side of the fastening plate 1. The hook 131 and the slot 132 engage with each other to connect the fastening plates 1 together in pairs. The hook 131 can also be configured with an arc-shaped fitting structure to cooperate with the slot 132, or it can be configured with other adhesive structures such as Velcro or screw connections, depending on the usage. The connection between the fastening plates 1 is achieved through a simple structure.

[0032] Furthermore, the groove structure 12 includes a plurality of inner grooves 121 and a plurality of outer grooves 122, which are alternately distributed on one side of the fastening plate 1. The alternating distribution of the inner grooves 121 and the outer grooves 122 improves the assembly stability between the fastening plates 1, making them less prone to disassembly and separation during use, while also improving the sealing degree of the assembled structure.

[0033] Furthermore, it also includes an operating part 2, which has a snap-fit ​​edge 21. The operating part 2 is located below the plurality of snap-fit ​​plates 1, and the snap-fit ​​plates 1 are connected to the snap-fit ​​edge 21 through a snap-fit ​​structure 14. The connection method between the operating part 2 and the snap-fit ​​plate 1 can also be changed to a snap-fit ​​method, that is, a fastener is provided on the operating part 2, and a buckle is provided on the snap-fit ​​plate 1. The two are snapped together to connect the operating part 2 and the snap-fit ​​plate 1. Alternatively, Velcro fastening, screw connection, wedge snap-fit, etc. can be used for connection. The connection between the snap-fit ​​plates 1 and the operating part 2 after assembly is achieved through a simple structure.

[0034] This embodiment also provides a cotton candy machine, including the cotton candy machine dust cover as described above.

[0035] The working principle of this embodiment is as follows:

[0036] When using the dust cover, the user simply interlocks the snap-fit ​​structure on the two interlocking panels with the corresponding groove structure. By assembling several interlocking panels, a semi-enclosed dust cover can be formed for use. After use, when storage is required, the dust cover can be removed and disassembled one by one for storage, reducing storage space. While making the dust cover easier to store, the number of interlocking panels can be adjusted to adjust the size of the opening according to actual usage. The structure is simple, easy to assemble, convenient to store, and occupies little space.

[0037] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that this invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that it can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of this invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered illustrative and non-limiting in all respects, and the scope of this invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description. Thus, it is intended that all variations falling within the meaning and scope of equivalents of the claims be included within this invention. No reference numerals in the claims should be construed as limiting the scope of the claims.
