Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cooking utensil technology, and more specifically, to a cooking utensil roller assembly and a cooking utensil. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, the drum assembly in cooking appliances is generally made by first spot welding the upper and lower covers to the outer shell, and then fully welding and grinding the edges to form a single welded drum body. This method of creating a single welded drum shell has two main drawbacks: firstly, the full welding process itself is difficult, and the welding process can easily cause the outer shell to deform due to heat, damaging its appearance; secondly, the heating coil, pot body, stirring claw drive components, and control panel components need to be installed in the narrow space inside the drum body, making installation difficult. Utility Model Content

[0003] The main objective of this invention is to provide a cooking appliance roller assembly and a cooking appliance to solve the problem that the outer shell of the roller assembly is prone to deformation during welding in the prior art.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, according to one aspect of the present invention, a cooking utensil roller assembly is provided, comprising: a housing having a cylindrical structure; a first connecting plate connected to an opening at one end of the housing; a second connecting plate connected to an opening at the other end of the housing; and a guide structure on the end face of the first connecting plate and / or the second connecting plate facing inward of the housing.

[0005] Furthermore, the guide structure has a guide ramp facing inwards from the housing. When the housing is installed onto the first connecting plate and / or the second connecting plate, the inner wall of the end of the housing engages with the guide ramp and is installed in place under the guidance of the guide ramp.

[0006] Furthermore, the guide structure includes multiple guide strips and multiple guide ribs. The guide strips extend circumferentially along the first connecting plate or the second connecting plate, and the guide ribs are disposed between the guide strips and connected to the guide strips. Both the guide strips and the guide ribs have guide slopes, and the axial height of the guide ribs is higher than the axial height of the guide strips.

[0007] Furthermore, the guide ramp is located on the outer side of the guide structure away from the central axis of the housing, and along the installation direction of the housing being installed on the first connecting plate or the second connecting plate, the guide ramp is inclined toward the central axis of the housing.

[0008] Furthermore, the first connecting plate and / or the second connecting plate have grooves, and the end of the housing can extend into the grooves. The grooves have inner and outer retaining rings on both sides. The inner retaining ring is closer to the central axis of the housing than the outer retaining ring, and the guide structure is located at the inner retaining ring.

[0009] Furthermore, the axial height of the inner retaining ring is higher than that of the outer retaining ring.

[0010] Furthermore, the cooking appliance roller assembly also includes a seal, which is disposed in a groove and seals the gap between the end of the housing and the first connecting plate or the second connecting plate.

[0011] Furthermore, the guide structure is continuously arranged along the circumference of the first connecting plate or the second connecting plate to form a ring structure; and / or, there are multiple guide structures, each of which is spaced apart along the circumference of the first connecting plate or the second connecting plate.

[0012] Furthermore, the cooking appliance roller assembly also includes a bottom shell, which is connected to a second connecting plate. The second connecting plate has grooves on both opposite sides. The outer shell and the bottom shell are located on opposite sides of the second connecting plate and clamp the second connecting plate. The outer shell and the bottom shell are respectively sealed with the grooves on both sides.

[0013] According to another aspect of the present invention, a cooking appliance is provided, including a pot body and the aforementioned cooking appliance roller assembly, wherein at least a portion of the pot body is installed within the cooking appliance roller assembly.

[0014] By applying the technical solution of this utility model, a guide structure is provided on at least one of the two connecting plates, the first connecting plate and the second connecting plate. The guide structure can guide the installation process of the shell. Specifically, when the shell is installed on the first connecting plate or the second connecting plate, the end of the shell is sleeved on the outside of the guide structure, thereby forming a contacting and guiding relationship with the guide structure. This allows the shell to be automatically corrected under the action of the guide structure during installation, thus ensuring the stability and reliability of the shell shape and avoiding deformation. At the same time, compared with the traditional welding method, this embodiment can directly assemble the shell and the two connecting plates together in a mutually restrictive manner, which makes the assembly of the shell more convenient, simplifies the production process, improves the production assembly efficiency, and facilitates the installation of internal components.

[0028] To address the problem of easy deformation during the welding of the outer shell of existing roller assemblies, this invention provides a cooking utensil roller assembly and a cooking utensil.

[0029] like Figures 1 to 7 The cooking appliance roller assembly shown includes a housing 10, a first connecting plate 20 and a second connecting plate 30. The housing 10 has a cylindrical structure. The first connecting plate 20 is connected to an opening at one end of the housing 10. The second connecting plate 30 is connected to an opening at the other end of the housing 10. The end faces of the first connecting plate 20 and / or the second connecting plate 30 facing the inside of the housing 10 have a guide structure 21.

[0030] In this embodiment, a guide structure 21 is provided on at least one of the two connecting plates, the first connecting plate 20 and the second connecting plate 30. The guide structure 21 can guide the installation process of the outer shell 10. Specifically, when the outer shell 10 is installed on the first connecting plate 20 or the second connecting plate 30, the end of the outer shell 10 is sleeved on the outside of the guide structure 21, thereby forming a contact and guiding relationship with the guide structure 21. This allows the outer shell 10 to be automatically corrected under the action of the guide structure 21 during installation, thus ensuring the stability and reliability of the shape of the outer shell 10 and avoiding deformation. At the same time, compared with the traditional welding method, this embodiment can directly assemble the outer shell 10 with the two connecting plates in a mutually restrictive manner, which makes the assembly of the outer shell 10 more convenient, simplifies the production process, improves the production assembly efficiency, and facilitates the installation of internal components.

[0031] In this embodiment, guide structures 21 are provided on both the first connecting plate 20 and the second connecting plate 30. The guide structure 21 has a guide slope 211 facing inwards towards the inside of the outer shell 10. When the outer shell 10 is installed onto the first connecting plate 20 and / or the second connecting plate 30, the inner wall of the end of the outer shell 10 abuts against the guide slope 211 and is installed in place under the guidance of the guide slope 211. This embodiment utilizes the guide slope 211 on the guide structure 21 to guide the installation of the outer shell 10. When the outer shell 10 is installed onto the connecting plate, the end of the outer shell 10 abuts against the guide slope 211. Due to the inclined guiding effect of the guide slope 211, the outer shell 10 is radially outwards under the action of the guide slope 211, thereby achieving automatic correction of the shape and position of the outer shell 10, thus ensuring the stability and reliability of the shape of the outer shell 10. Of course, the guide structure 21 can also be provided only on one of the first connecting plate 20 and the second connecting plate 30, and the specific structural form of the guide structure 21 can be adjusted as needed.

[0032] like Figures 4 to 6 As shown, the outer shell 10 in this embodiment is a cylindrical structure with openings at both ends. Correspondingly, the first connecting plate 20 and the second connecting plate 30 are also disc-shaped structures. Furthermore, the axial, radial, circumferential, and inner / outer directions mentioned in this embodiment are all relative to the cylindrical structure. The axial direction is the direction of the central axis of the cylindrical structure, the radial direction is the direction of the diameter of the cylindrical structure, the inner side is the radial side closer to the central axis, and the outer side is the radial side farther from the central axis. The axial, radial, and circumferential directions of the outer shell 10, the first connecting plate 20, and the second connecting plate 30 are consistent. This embodiment uses the first connecting plate 20 as the cover component at the top of the outer shell 10 and the second connecting plate 30 as the partition component at the bottom of the outer shell 10 as examples for explanation.

[0033] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in this embodiment, the guide structure 21 is located at the outer edge of the end face of the first connecting plate 20 or the second connecting plate 30, and protrudes from the end face of the first connecting plate 20 or the second connecting plate 30. The guide slope 211 is located on the outer side of the guide structure 21 away from the central axis of the housing 10. Along the mounting direction of the housing 10 onto the first connecting plate 20 or the second connecting plate 30, the guide slope 211 is inclined towards the central axis of the housing 10. Figure 2 As shown, the second connecting plate 30 is located below the outer shell 10. Taking the outer shell 10 being installed onto the second connecting plate 30 from top to bottom as an example, the guide structure 21 is located on the upper surface of the second connecting plate 30, and its guide slope 211 is inclined from top to bottom away from the central axis. During the downward installation of the outer shell 10, the inner side of the bottom end of the outer shell 10 contacts and engages with the top end of the guide slope 211. As the outer shell 10 continues to move downward, the bottom end of the outer shell 10 is pushed outward along the guide slope 211 until it reaches the bottom end of the guide structure 21, at which point the bottom end of the outer shell 10 is properly installed with the second connecting plate 30. In this way, the guide structure 21 can effectively correct the deformation of the outer shell 10 during the installation process, thereby ensuring that the outer shell 10 is smoothly installed onto the second connecting plate 30 along the guide structure 21, completing the assembly. The guiding process between the outer shell 10 and the first connecting plate 20 during assembly is the same as described above, and will not be repeated here.

[0034] In this embodiment, the first connecting plate 20 and the second connecting plate 30 are fitted with the outer shell 10 in roughly the same way. Taking the second connecting plate 30 as an example, the end face edge of the second connecting plate 30 also has a groove 22. The groove 22 is used for limiting the installation fit with the end of the outer shell 10, so that the end of the outer shell 10 can extend into the groove 22. That is, when the outer shell 10 is installed on the second connecting plate 30, the end of the outer shell 10 is located in the groove 22 and forms a limiting fit with the groove 22, thereby realizing the assembly. In this embodiment, the groove 22 has an inner retaining ring 23 and an outer retaining ring 24 on both sides. Both the inner retaining ring 23 and the outer retaining ring 24 extend circumferentially along the second connecting plate 30 to form an annular structure. The inner retaining ring 23 and the outer retaining ring 24 are radially spaced apart along the second connecting plate 30, thus forming the groove 22 between them. At the same time, the inner retaining ring 23 is located inside the outer retaining ring 24, so that the inner retaining ring 23 is closer to the central axis of the outer shell 10 than the outer retaining ring 24. The guide structure 21 is provided at the inner retaining ring 23. In this way, when the outer shell 10 is assembled with the second connecting plate 30, the guide structure 21 is located inside the outer shell 10, so that it can cooperate with the inner side of the end of the outer shell 10 to correct the deformation of the outer shell 10. At the same time, it can also ensure that the end of the outer shell 10 can smoothly enter the groove 22 under the action of the guide slope 211, which facilitates assembly. Of course, the first connecting plate 20 can also be provided with the above-mentioned groove 22, inner retaining ring 23, outer retaining ring 24 and other structures.

[0035] Preferably, in this embodiment, the axial height of the inner retaining ring 23 is higher than that of the outer retaining ring 24. This arrangement allows the inner retaining ring 23 to be higher, thereby increasing the contact area between the inner retaining ring 23 and the outer shell 10, ensuring the supporting fit between the inner retaining ring 23 and the outer shell 10, and ensuring effective support for the outer shell 10. Moreover, the outer retaining ring 24 can be lower, so that the outer retaining ring 24 can both cover the end of the outer shell 10, thus concealing the uneven gap between the outer shell 10 and the end face of the second connecting plate 30, and reduce the impact of the outer retaining ring 24 on the overall appearance, ensuring the overall appearance of the roller assembly.

[0036] like Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment, the cooking appliance roller assembly also includes a sealing element 40. The sealing element 40 can be in the form of a sealing strip. The sealing element 40 is disposed in the groove 22 and located at the bottom surface in the depth direction of the groove 22. When the outer shell 10 is installed in place, the end face of the end of the outer shell 10 can abut against the sealing element 40, thereby enabling the sealing element 40 to seal the gap between the end of the outer shell 10 and the first connecting plate 20 and / or the second connecting plate 30, ensuring good sealing of the roller assembly and preventing water ingress.

[0037] Optionally, the specific structural form of the guide structure 21 can be set as needed. It can be continuously set, segmented set, or a combination of the two. When continuously set, the guide structure 21 is continuously set along the circumference of the first connecting plate 20 or the second connecting plate 30 to form a ring structure. In this way, the guide structure 21 can effectively guide the inner wall of the outer shell 10 in a 360-degree circumferential direction, ensuring the balance of the action on the outer shell 10. This embodiment adopts the above-mentioned setting method. In addition to the above method, multiple guide structures 21 can also be set. In this case, each guide structure 21 is set at intervals along the circumference of the first connecting plate 20 or the second connecting plate 30, so that the guide structure 21 forms a segmented form.

[0038] Since the groove 22 needs to accommodate the entire circumference of the end of the outer shell 10, the groove 22 in this embodiment is configured to be continuously arranged in the circumferential direction along the first connecting plate 20 or the second connecting plate 30 to form an annular groove, so as to be able to adapt to the shape of the outer shell 10. Correspondingly, the inner retaining ring 23 and the outer retaining ring 24 are also continuously arranged in the circumferential direction to form an annular retaining ring, thereby ensuring the fit between the inner retaining ring and the outer shell 10.

[0039] like Figure 1 and Figure 7 As shown, in this embodiment, the cooking appliance roller assembly also includes a bottom shell 50. The bottom shell 50 is connected to and installed below the second connecting plate 30. Therefore, the second connecting plate 30 in this embodiment has guide structures 21 and grooves on opposite sides. The outer shell 10 and the bottom shell 50 are located on opposite sides of the second connecting plate 30 and clamp the second connecting plate 30. During installation, the outer shell 10 and the bottom shell 50 are guided and engaged with the guide structures 21 on both sides, and after installation, they are sealed and engaged with the grooves on both sides. Thus, the second connecting plate 30 can both connect the outer shell 10 and the bottom shell 50 and separate the outer shell 10 and the bottom shell 50. Moreover, since the installation form between the bottom shell 50 and the second connecting plate 30 is basically the same as the installation form between the outer shell 10 and the first connecting plate 20 and the second connecting plate 30, it is also convenient to assemble the bottom shell 50 and the second connecting plate 30, and it can also avoid deformation of the bottom shell 50. Thus, the overall assembly of the roller assembly is stable, convenient, and quick.

[0040] like Figure 3As shown, optionally, the specific structural form of the guide structure 21 can also be set as needed. It can directly adopt the form of a protrusion, and the side of the protrusion can be set in an inclined form to form a guide slope 211. The guide structure 21 in this embodiment includes multiple guide strips 212 and multiple guide ribs 213. The guide strips 212 protrude from the surface of the inner retaining ring 23 and extend circumferentially along the first connecting plate 20 or the second connecting plate 30. The guide ribs 213 are arranged between the guide strips 212 and connected to the guide strips 212, so that the guide structure 21 forms an integral structural form. Both guide strip 212 and guide rib 213 have guide slope 211, but guide rib 213 is not exactly the same as guide strip 212. The axial height of guide rib 213 is higher than that of guide strip 212. At the same time, guide rib 213 is also located on the inner side of guide strip 212 and extends radially inward for a certain distance. That is, guide rib 213 extends a certain distance on both the axial and radial inner sides of guide strip 212, thereby making the guiding effect of guide rib 213 stronger. This can enhance the effect of correcting the deformation of housing 10, ensuring that housing 10 can smoothly slide into groove 22 along guide rib 213 to complete assembly. At the same time, it can also enhance the structural strength of guide structure 21, thereby ensuring that guide structure 21 provides better guidance and support for housing 10 and avoiding damage caused by housing 10.

[0041] In this embodiment, both the first connecting plate 20 and the second connecting plate 30 can have hollow channels between them. The hollow channel of the first connecting plate 20 can be used to accommodate components such as the pot body 60, while the hollow channel of the second connecting plate 30 can be used to allow components such as the rotation drive component and the heating component to pass through. This allows for the installation of components such as the stirring component and the heating plate inside the outer shell 10, as well as components such as the rotating shaft, the base, and the motor inside the bottom shell 50. Additionally, positioning rollers can be provided on the end face of the first connecting plate 20 facing the second connecting plate 30, and air vents can be provided on the bottom shell 50. This allows the pot body 60 to be mounted on the drum assembly and to perform rotational stirring, frying, and heat dissipation actions.

[0042] like Figure 1 As shown, this embodiment also provides a cooking appliance, including a pot body 60, a stirring assembly, a heating assembly, a driving assembly, and the aforementioned cooking appliance drum assembly. At least a portion of the pot body 60 is installed inside the outer shell 10 of the cooking appliance drum assembly. At least a portion of the stirring assembly is also located inside the outer shell 10, so that it can cooperate with the pot body 60 to stir the food. At least a portion of the heating assembly is also located inside the outer shell 10, so that the bottom of the pot body 60 can be heated to heat and cook the food. The driving assembly can be installed between the bottom shell 50 and the outer shell 10, so as to drive the pot body 60 and the stirring assembly to rotate. A control board and other control components can also be installed inside the bottom shell 50.

[0043] It should be noted that "multiple" in the above embodiments refers to at least two.

[0044] As can be seen from the above description, the embodiments of this utility model achieve the following technical effects:

[0045] 1. This solves the problem of easy deformation during welding of the outer shell of the roller assembly in the prior art;

[0046] 2. During installation, the outer casing can be automatically corrected by the guide structure, thereby ensuring the stability and reliability of the casing shape and avoiding deformation.

[0047] 3. The outer shell and the connecting plate can be directly assembled together with a limiting fit, which makes the assembly of the outer shell more convenient, simplifies the production process, and improves the production and assembly efficiency.

[0048] 4. The assembly method of the outer shell facilitates the installation of internal components;

[0049] 5. Uneven gaps between the outer shell and the end face of the connecting plate are covered to reduce the impact of the outer retaining ring on the overall appearance and ensure the overall appearance of the roller assembly.
