Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of food processing, and in particular to an electronic ignition smoker. Background Technology

[0002] Smokers, as key equipment in food processing and flavor enhancement, essentially produce flavorful smoke by burning specific materials (such as sawdust, fruit chips, or herbs) and effectively introduce it into containers to apply to food or beverages. However, existing traditional smokers, especially portable designs, have significant limitations and operational difficulties in practical applications. First, traditional smokers generally rely on external open flame sources (such as matches, lighters, or blowtorches) for ignition. This is not only inconvenient for users to carry but also cumbersome to operate, requiring a certain level of skill. Furthermore, operation involves close contact with high-temperature flames and a scorching combustion chamber, posing significant safety hazards such as burns or fires, especially in windy conditions. Ignition success is also easily affected by material humidity or environmental factors. Second, the combustion process in traditional smokers relies primarily on natural convection for oxygen supply, lacking active airflow control, resulting in highly unstable combustion. This manifests as incomplete combustion producing an unpleasant burnt smell (smoldering), or excessive and rapid combustion leading to insufficient smoke duration, or even premature extinguishing. This instability directly causes drastic fluctuations in the amount and concentration of smoke produced, forcing users to frequently intervene manually to adjust, making it difficult to achieve continuous and uniform smoke output.

[0003] Furthermore, existing smokers typically have radial grooves at the bottom for venting smoke when smoking beverages. This design can cause smoke to accumulate locally inside the container, leaving a soot stain on the rim when it escapes. When the user drinks, their lips come into contact with this sticky soot stain, resulting in an unpleasant tactile and taste experience, such as astringency and bitterness, directly compromising the purity of the beverage's flavor. Simultaneously, harmful substances such as tar and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons that may be absorbed in the soot stain can enter the body through contact, posing health risks with long-term use. Moreover, the brown soot stains remaining on the rim affect the visual presentation of the beverage, giving it an unclean appearance and reducing the desire to drink it. For example, a carefully prepared whiskey may appear unclean due to the soot stains on the rim, making it unappealing to consume.

[0004] Furthermore, users need to manually monitor the combustion status throughout the entire smoking process (observing smoke and sensing temperature) and rely on personal experience to judge when to intervene. This process is time-consuming, labor-intensive, and requires a high level of user skill. Under this mode, it is almost impossible to accurately control the smoking time, maintain a stable smoke concentration, and achieve the ideal smoking temperature. This results in poor consistency of smoking effects (flavor, color, and texture) between different batches or different operators, making it difficult to meet the application scenarios with refined and standardized requirements for smoking quality.

[0005] In summary, existing traditional smoke generators have many shortcomings in terms of operational safety, combustion stability, rationality of smoke exhaust design, process controllability, and user experience, and there is an urgent need to optimize and improve them. Utility Model Content

[0006] The purpose of this invention is to provide an electronic ignition smoke generator that integrates functions such as safe ignition, controllable oxygen supply, efficient smoke extraction, and intelligent control, so as to improve the safety, reliability, convenience, and consistency of the final effect of the smoking process.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model adopts the following solution: an electronically ignited smoke generator, comprising a cover plate and an electronically ignited device detachably mounted on the cover plate. The cover plate has a combustion chamber protruding downwards into a container for holding combustible materials used to generate smoke, and several smoke outlets are provided through the outer wall of the combustion chamber extending into the container. The top of the combustion chamber is open, penetrating the top surface of the cover plate, and at least one smoke exhaust port communicating with the interior of the container is provided through the cover plate. The electronically ignited device includes a hollow outer shell and an ignition component located at the center of the bottom of the outer shell, capable of extending into the combustion chamber to ignite the combustible materials. The cavity is respectively provided with... An active air supply module for driving airflow from the outside into the combustion chamber has an airflow inlet located on the top or outer wall of the outer shell and an airflow outlet that penetrates the bottom of the outer shell and communicates with the combustion chamber. The cavity also includes a control unit for controlling the operation of the active air supply module and the ignition component, a power supply unit electrically connected to the control unit, the active air supply module and the ignition component for supplying power to the active air supply module and the ignition component, and a smoke exhaust channel for discharging smoke entering the container out of the container. The smoke exhaust channel has a smoke inlet communicating with the top opening of the smoke exhaust port and a smoke outlet extending to the cover plate or electronic ignition device. This solution replaces the traditional external open flame source with an electronic ignition device, solving the problems of traditional smokers that rely on matches or lighters for ignition, which are inconvenient to carry, cumbersome to operate, pose a risk of burns or fire, and whose ignition success rate is easily affected by material humidity or environmental interference. It achieves a safe, convenient, and stable ignition effect. The active air supply module drives airflow from the outside into the combustion chamber, solving the problems of unstable combustion, incomplete combustion and burnt taste, or excessive and rapid combustion caused by natural convection oxygen supply in traditional smokers. It can actively regulate the airflow to make combustion more complete and stable, ensuring uniform and continuous smoke volume and concentration, and reducing manual intervention by the user. The smoke exhaust channel has a smoke inlet connected to the top opening of the smoke exhaust port and a smoke outlet extending to the cover or electronic ignition device. It changes the traditional smoker's method of setting radial grooves at the bottom of the cup to form a gap for smoke exhaust, solving the problems of local smoke accumulation in the container, smoke stains on the cup rim causing discomfort when drinking, ruining the taste of the beverage, posing health risks, and affecting the visual appearance. It allows smoke to be discharged more efficiently and orderly, avoiding smoke residue.

[0008] As a further embodiment of this invention, the exhaust channel is a gap formed between the bottom surface of the outer shell and the top surface of the cover plate. This gap surrounds the periphery of the top opening of the combustion chamber and is not connected to the combustion chamber. The top opening of the exhaust port is connected to the gap. This solution, by forming a gap around the periphery of the top opening of the combustion chamber between the bottom surface of the outer shell and the top surface of the cover plate as an exhaust channel, optimizes the flow path of smoke from the top opening of the exhaust port into the exhaust channel. This allows the smoke to diffuse more evenly in the top area of ​​the cover plate before being discharged, further enhancing the orderliness and efficiency of smoke exhaust, reducing localized smoke retention in the container, and thus more effectively preventing the formation of soot stains at the rim of the cup.

[0009] In a preferred embodiment of this invention, the smoke exhaust channel is a smoke exhaust pipe located inside the outer shell. The bottom of the smoke exhaust pipe extends out of the bottom surface of the outer shell and connects with the top opening of the smoke exhaust port. The top opening of the smoke exhaust pipe extends to the outside of the outer shell. This solution, by setting a smoke exhaust pipe inside the outer shell as a smoke exhaust channel, utilizes the tubular structure of the smoke exhaust pipe to guide the smoke from the bottom of the smoke exhaust pipe through the top opening of the smoke exhaust port directly upwards to be discharged outside the outer shell. This provides an independent and regular discharge path for the smoke, effectively preventing the disorderly diffusion of smoke in the gap between the lid and the outer shell, precisely controlling the direction and path of smoke discharge, further improving smoke exhaust efficiency, and ensuring that the smoke is discharged quickly and cleanly outside the container. Structurally, this more thoroughly solves the problems of localized smoke accumulation and residual smoke stains on the rim of the cup.

[0010] As a further embodiment of this invention, the top of the cover plate is provided with a boss surrounding the combustion chamber, and the top surface of the boss supports the bottom surface of the outer shell to form the gap. This embodiment, by providing a boss surrounding the combustion chamber on the top of the cover plate, utilizes the top surface of the boss to support the bottom surface of the outer shell, creating a stable gap between the bottom surface of the outer shell and the top surface of the cover plate as a smoke exhaust channel. On the one hand, this clearly defines the height and shape of the gap, ensuring the structural stability and consistency of the smoke exhaust channel and standardizing the smoke flow path. On the other hand, the boss provides positioning and support for the outer shell, ensuring the accurate position of the smoke exhaust channel during the installation of the electronic ignition device, guaranteeing the reliability and stability of the smoke exhaust effect. Simultaneously, the boss surrounding the combustion chamber creates a uniform smoke exhaust space around the combustion chamber, promoting the even entry and discharge of smoke into the smoke exhaust channel, further reducing localized smoke accumulation near the combustion chamber.

[0011] As a further embodiment of this invention, the ignition component includes a high-voltage pulse ignition needle inserted through the center of the bottom of the outer shell; and an ignition control module installed on the bottom surface inside the cavity. The tip of the high-voltage pulse ignition needle extends into the cavity and is electrically connected to the ignition control module. This solution, by using a high-voltage pulse ignition needle and an ignition control module to form the ignition component, utilizes the electric spark generated by the high-voltage pulse to ignite the burning material. Compared with traditional ignition methods such as matches and lighters, the ignition process is faster and more reliable, eliminating the need for close contact with an open flame and avoiding the risk of burns during operation. Furthermore, the ignition control module can precisely control the generation of the ignition pulse, unaffected by factors such as material humidity or environmental wind force, ensuring stable ignition in different usage scenarios. This solves the problems of low ignition success rate and high susceptibility to external interference in traditional ignition methods, further improving the safety and reliability of ignition.

[0012] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the active air supply module includes an exhaust fan installed in the cavity to drive airflow from the airflow inlet and through the airflow outlet into the combustion chamber; the power supply unit is a storage battery. By using an exhaust fan as the core component of the active air supply module, the mechanical power of the exhaust fan drives the airflow from the airflow inlet and through the airflow outlet into the combustion chamber. Compared with the traditional natural convection oxygen supply method, the size and direction of the airflow can be actively adjusted according to actual needs by controlling parameters such as the speed of the exhaust fan, precisely controlling the oxygen supply in the combustion chamber, so that the burning material always maintains a full and stable combustion state, effectively avoiding the problems of incomplete combustion producing a burnt smell or excessive combustion and rapid depletion, and ensuring uniform and continuous smoke volume and concentration. At the same time, the power supply unit uses a storage battery, providing an independent power source for components such as the exhaust fan, eliminating the need to rely on an external power source, facilitating the portable use of the smoke generator, allowing users to use it flexibly in various situations, improving the applicability and convenience of the equipment, and the storage battery can be recharged for use, reducing operating costs.

[0013] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the electronic ignition device is magnetically attached to the top of the cover plate. Utilizing magnetic force enables quick installation and removal of the electronic ignition device from the cover plate. Compared to traditional snap-fit ​​or threaded connections, this method is simpler and faster. Users do not need tools or complex operations; simply bring the electronic ignition device close to the top of the cover plate, and it will automatically adhere and be fixed by the magnetic force. Removal is easy with a simple pull, solving the problem of cumbersome and time-consuming installation of traditional smokers and greatly improving ease of use. Simultaneously, the magnetic connection offers flexibility and tolerance, allowing for fine-tuning of the electronic ignition device's position within a certain range. This facilitates users adjusting the installation angle according to actual needs, and the connection is firm and reliable, preventing loosening or detachment during use and ensuring the stability of the smoker's operation.

[0014] As a further embodiment of this utility model, the magnetic attraction structure includes magnets installed on the bottom surface of the outer casing and / or the top surface of the cover plate. The installation position of the magnets can be flexibly selected according to actual design requirements. If a magnet is only installed on the bottom surface of the outer casing, a magnetic connection can be formed using the metal material of the top surface of the cover plate (if the cover plate is made of metal) or by installing a corresponding magnet on the top surface of the cover plate. If a magnet is only installed on the top surface of the cover plate, a magnetic connection can be formed using the metal material of the bottom surface of the outer casing or by installing a corresponding magnet on the bottom surface of the outer casing. If magnets are installed on both the bottom surface of the outer casing and the top surface of the cover plate, the magnetic attraction effect can be enhanced by the attraction of opposite magnetic poles. This flexible arrangement adapts to different material and structural design requirements, ensuring the applicability and reliability of the magnetic attraction structure, and further improving the convenience and stability of installation and disassembly between the electronic ignition device and the cover plate.

[0015] In a preferred embodiment of this invention, the smoke outlets are arranged at intervals around the outer circumference of the combustion chamber and are higher than the bottom wall of the inner cavity of the combustion chamber. By arranging the smoke outlets at intervals around the outer circumference of the combustion chamber, the smoke generated by the burning material in the combustion chamber can be evenly distributed into the container through the smoke outlets in the circumferential direction of the combustion chamber. This avoids the problem of smoke being concentrated in one area, resulting in uneven smoke distribution and local accumulation within the container, ensuring uniform smoke diffusion within the container and improving the uniformity of the smoking effect. At the same time, the smoke outlets being higher than the bottom wall of the inner cavity of the combustion chamber can prevent ash, debris, and other impurities generated during combustion from falling into the container through the smoke outlets and contaminating the food or beverages, ensuring the cleanliness and hygiene of the smoking process, and avoiding affecting the quality and taste of the food or beverages. This solves the problem of uneven smoke distribution and impurity contamination caused by the unreasonable design of the smoke outlet positions in traditional smokers.

[0016] As a further embodiment of this utility model, the control unit is a control circuit board installed on the top surface of the inner cavity of the housing, which is provided with a switch button for activating the high-voltage pulse ignition needle and the exhaust fan; and a charging interface for charging the battery; the top of the switch button and the charging interface are exposed through the top wall of the housing. As a control unit, the control circuit board integrates control functions for the active air supply module and ignition components. Users can conveniently start or stop the high-voltage pulse ignition needle and exhaust fan via a switch button, eliminating the need for continuous manual monitoring of the combustion status and reliance on personal experience to judge intervention timing. This solves the problems of traditional smokers requiring continuous manual monitoring, which is time-consuming, labor-intensive, and demands high user skills, achieving intelligent control of ignition and air supply. Simultaneously, the charging interface facilitates battery charging, ensuring continuous power supply and extending the device's lifespan. By precisely controlling parameters such as ignition time and air supply speed through the control circuit board, key factors such as smoke concentration, smoking time, and temperature during the smoking process can be accurately controlled. This ensures consistency in smoking effects (flavor, color, texture) between different batches or operators, meeting the needs of applications requiring refined and standardized smoking quality, and improving the intelligence and reliability of the smoker.

[0017] In summary, the advantages of this utility model compared to the prior art are as follows: This utility model has made several key improvements to address the shortcomings of traditional smokers in terms of operational safety, combustion stability, smoke exhaust rationality, and process controllability, significantly improving the safety, reliability, convenience, and consistency of the final smoke process.

[0018] Firstly, by introducing an electronic ignition device to replace the traditional external open flame source, this invention completely solves the problems of inconvenient portability, cumbersome operation, safety hazards such as burns or fires, and the susceptibility of ignition success rate to material humidity or environmental factors associated with the original ignition method. The device integrates a high-voltage pulse ignition needle and an ignition control module, achieving safe, convenient, and reliable one-button ignition. Simultaneously, the electronic ignition device innovatively uses a magnetic structure for adsorption and installation on the top of the cover plate, making installation and removal extremely quick and convenient, further enhancing the overall ease of use.

[0019] Building upon this foundation, to address the issues of unstable combustion and drastic fluctuations in smoke concentration caused by traditional equipment relying on natural convection for oxygen supply, this invention integrates an active air supply module. Driven by an exhaust fan and powered by a battery, this module actively regulates the airflow entering the combustion chamber, ensuring more complete and stable combustion of materials, thereby outputting uniform and continuously controllable smoke, providing core power support for portable use.

[0020] Furthermore, addressing the problem of smoke accumulation and sticky soot stains on the rim of cups caused by poor smoke extraction design in traditional smokers, this invention innovates the smoke extraction system, providing two solutions. One solution involves a raised platform surrounding the combustion chamber on the top of the lid, cleverly utilizing its gaps to create an optimized smoke extraction channel, guiding smoke to be discharged efficiently and orderly, preventing localized accumulation. The other solution involves an exhaust pipe running through the electronic ignition device. The tubular structure of the exhaust pipe guides smoke from the bottom of the pipe, through the top opening of the exhaust port, directly upwards to the outside of the outer casing, providing an independent and orderly exhaust path for the smoke. This effectively prevents disorderly diffusion of smoke in the gap between the lid and the outer casing, precisely controlling the direction and path of smoke extraction, further improving smoke extraction efficiency, ensuring that smoke is quickly and cleanly discharged from the container, and more thoroughly solving the problems of localized smoke accumulation and soot residue on the rim of the cup. In addition, smoke outlets are spaced along the outer circumference of the combustion chamber, positioned higher than the bottom wall of the inner cavity. This design not only promotes even smoke distribution within the container, improving the uniformity of the smoking process, but also effectively prevents ash or debris from falling into the food or beverages below, significantly enhancing the cleanliness and hygiene of the smoking process. These improvements work together to eliminate soot stains on the rim of the cup and their associated negative effects.

[0021] Finally, to achieve precise control of the smoking process and solve the problems of time-consuming, labor-intensive, and inconsistent results caused by traditional methods relying on manual monitoring and experience, this invention is equipped with a control unit. This unit integrates a switch button and a charging interface for easy user operation and energy replenishment. Its core function is to intelligently coordinate and control the electronic ignition device and the active air supply module, effectively eliminating reliance on manual intervention and personal experience throughout the process. This ensures that different batches or different operators can achieve a highly consistent and ideal smoking effect in terms of flavor, color, and texture.

[0022] Therefore, by integrating technologies such as safe electronic ignition, active and controllable oxygen supply, efficient and clean smoke extraction, and automatic process control, this utility model systematically overcomes the core defects of existing traditional smoke generators, providing users with a safer, more reliable, convenient, and highly effective smoke generator.

[0033] The following detailed description provides various embodiments or examples for implementing this utility model. Of course, these are merely embodiments or examples and are not intended to be limiting. Additionally, repeated reference numerals, such as repeated numbers and / or letters, may be used in different embodiments.

These relational terms are used to facilitate the description of the relationship between some elements or features in the drawings and other elements or features. These spatial relational terms include different orientations of the device in use or operation, as well as the orientations described in the drawings.

The terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features indicated. Thus, a feature defined with "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature.

[0035] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments: Figures 1 to 10 The illustrated electronic ignition smoker consists of a cover plate 1 and a detachable electronic ignition device 2, which are quickly installed and removed via a magnetic structure 8. It should be noted that the shape of the cover plate 1 can be changed depending on the smoking scenario or the shape of the container 10. In this embodiment, a cover plate placed on the rim of a cup for smoking beverages is used as an example. The cover plate 1 is disc-shaped, with a centrally projecting combustion chamber 11 for holding combustible materials (such as sawdust or fruit chips). The outer wall of the combustion chamber 11 is perforated with several evenly spaced smoke outlets 12, positioned higher than the bottom wall of the combustion chamber 11 to prevent ash and debris generated during combustion from falling into the container 10 and contaminating the food or beverage. The top opening of the combustion chamber 11 penetrates the top surface of the cover plate 1, facilitating the insertion of the ignition component 3 of the electronic ignition device 2 to ignite the material. The cover plate 1 is also provided with at least one smoke vent 71 that communicates with the inside of the container 10. The smoke vent 71 is used to guide the smoke in the container 10 to the smoke vent 7 for discharge.

[0036] Specifically, such as Figures 2 to 10As shown, the electronic ignition device 2 has a cavity 20 inside its outer casing 21. An ignition component 3 is installed at the center of its bottom. The ignition component 3 includes an ignition control module 31 installed on the bottom surface of the cavity 20 and a high-voltage pulse ignition needle 32 installed at the center of the bottom of the outer casing 21. The top end of the high-voltage pulse ignition needle 32 extends into the cavity 20 and is electrically connected to the ignition control module 31, while the bottom end extends into the combustion chamber 11. It can achieve rapid ignition without an open flame through the high-voltage pulse generated by the ignition control module 31. An active air supply module 4 and a power supply unit 5 are also installed in the cavity 20 through a bracket 9. The active air supply module 4 is an exhaust fan. Its airflow inlet 22 is located on the top or outer wall of the outer casing 21, and its airflow outlet 23 penetrates the bottom of the outer casing 21 and is connected to the combustion chamber 11. When the exhaust fan is working, it can drive outside air to be drawn in from the airflow inlet 22 and sent into the combustion chamber 11 through the airflow outlet 23, thereby realizing active regulation of the oxygen supply in the combustion chamber. The control unit 6 is a control circuit board 61 installed on the top surface of the inner cavity of the housing 21. It is equipped with a switch button 62 and a charging interface 63. The top of the switch button 62 and the charging interface 63 are exposed through the top wall of the housing 21. The user can start or stop the ignition component 3 and the active air supply module 4 through the switch button 62. The charging interface 63 is used to charge the battery of the power supply unit 5. The battery is electrically connected to the control unit 6, the active air supply module 4 and the ignition component 3 respectively, providing power support to each component.

[0037] Among them, such as Figures 2 to 6 The diagram shows a first embodiment of the exhaust channel 7 in this invention. The exhaust channel 7 is a gap 7a formed between the bottom surface of the outer shell 21 and the top surface of the cover plate 1. This gap 7a surrounds the outer periphery of the top opening of the combustion chamber 11 and is not directly connected to the combustion chamber 11. The top of the cover plate 1 is provided with a boss 13 surrounding the combustion chamber 11. The top surface of the boss 13 supports the bottom surface of the outer shell 21, thereby stably forming the gap 7a. The top opening of the exhaust port 71 is connected to the gap 7a. During operation, the burning material is ignited in the combustion chamber 11 by the high-pressure pulse ignition needle 32. The exhaust fan draws in air through the air inlet 22 and sends it into the combustion chamber 11 through the air outlet 23, which promotes the complete combustion of the material and produces smoke. The smoke enters the container 10 evenly through the smoke outlet 12 on the outer wall of the combustion chamber 11 and acts on the food or beverage. Then the smoke rises to the bottom surface of the cover plate 1, enters the gap 7a through the smoke outlet 71, and is evenly discharged outside the container 10 along the annular gap between the outer shell 21 and the cover plate 1, which avoids the smoke from accumulating locally in the container 10 and reduces the formation of soot stains on the cup rim.

[0038] In addition, such as Figures 7 to 10The diagram shows a second embodiment of the smoke exhaust channel 7 in this invention. As can be clearly seen from the figure, this embodiment is essentially the same as the first embodiment. The smoke exhaust channel 7 is a smoke exhaust pipe 7b located inside the outer casing 21. The smoke exhaust pipe 7b has a tubular structure, with its bottom extending out from the bottom surface of the outer casing 21 and connecting to the top opening of the smoke exhaust port 71. The top opening extends to the outside of the top of the outer casing 21. Compared to the first embodiment, this structure provides a dedicated exhaust path for smoke through the independent smoke exhaust pipe 7b. After entering from the smoke exhaust port 71, the smoke directly enters the pipe through the bottom opening of the smoke exhaust pipe 7b and is discharged upwards along the tubular channel from the smoke outlet at the top of the outer casing 21. This design avoids the disorderly diffusion of smoke in the gap between the outer casing 21 and the cover plate 1, making the smoke flow path more regular and the discharge direction more precise, further improving smoke exhaust efficiency and structurally solving the problems of local smoke accumulation and residual smoke stains at the cup rim.

[0039] In both embodiments, the magnetic attraction structure 8 between the electronic ignition device 2 and the cover plate 1 is achieved by setting magnets 81 on the bottom surface of the outer casing 21 and / or the top surface of the cover plate 1. The installation position of the magnets 81 can be flexibly selected according to the material (e.g., magnets are only set on the bottom surface of the outer casing 21, only on the top surface of the cover plate 1, or both). Magnetic attraction enables quick assembly and disassembly without tools and the connection is firm. The control circuit board 61 of the control unit 6 can precisely control the ignition time and the speed of the exhaust fan, thereby accurately regulating the smoke concentration and smoking time to ensure consistent smoking effects for different batches or different operators. The exhaust fan of the active air supply module 4 can control the airflow by adjusting the speed, keeping the burning material in a stable combustion state and avoiding the production of burnt smells or excessive combustion. The circumferentially spaced distribution design of the smoke outlet 12 allows the smoke to diffuse evenly within the container 10, improving the uniformity of the smoking effect.

[0040] In summary, this invention, through its core structural design including electronic ignition, active air supply, dual-mode smoke exhaust channels, and intelligent control, forms a safe, convenient, efficient, and controllable smoking solution. The two smoke exhaust embodiments optimize the smoke flow path through annular gaps and independent exhaust pipes, effectively solving problems such as smoke accumulation, soot residue, and unstable combustion in traditional smokers. It is suitable for various food and beverage processing scenarios, including whiskey smoking and coffee aroma enhancement, significantly improving the safety, reliability, and user experience of the smoking process.

Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely illustrative of the principles of this utility model.
