Description

A microwave baking pan with a rigid support Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of microwave oven appliances, specifically a microwave baking tray with a rigid support. Background Technology

[0002] Microwave oven pans utilize a microwave-absorbing layer on their surface to heat the pan, baking or frying food from the outside. This changes the microwave oven's traditional method of heating food from the inside, expanding its applications. To prevent arcing caused by metal pans coming into contact with each other during microwave use, oven pan sleeves made of insulating elastic materials, such as silicone sleeves, are typically used. However, silicone sleeves are relatively soft and prone to misalignment during handling. Furthermore, the steam generated during cooking can cause the oven pan sleeves to deform and bulge.

[0003] Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a microwave baking pan with a rigid support to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art.

[0005] The technical solution of this utility model is: a microwave baking tray with a rigid support, comprising a pair of supports and a microwave baking tray. The supports are installed on the outer side of the upper and lower units of the microwave baking tray. The supports are provided with a latch for fastening the upper and lower units together. The upper and lower units of the microwave baking tray each include a metal baking tray and a baking tray cover. The supports include an upper horizontal bar and a lower horizontal bar. The upper horizontal bar is fastened to the top surface of the baking tray cover, and the lower horizontal bar is fastened to the first side wall of the cover near the interface of the baking tray cover. The upper and lower horizontal bars are connected by a connecting strip to form a frame structure. The rigidity of the supports is greater than that of the baking tray cover.

[0006] The upper and lower horizontal bars are not on the same plane. Several buckles are distributed along the inner edge of the bracket frame, and the baking tray cover is provided with mounting grooves along the distribution of the buckles.

[0007] The mounting slots on the baking tray cover are continuous and closed, and each slot has a corresponding buckle hole.

[0008] The lower horizontal bar extends outward from the center of the baking pan cover and has a locking plate with a U-shaped groove.

[0009] The microwave baking tray is equipped with vent holes, which are located on the top surface of the baking tray cover, the side wall of the second cover, or the mating edge of the baking tray cover.

[0010] The bracket consists of an upper bracket and a lower bracket, which are paired to form the U-groove. The latch includes a latch cover and a latch plate. The latch cover is hinged in the U-groove of the upper bracket, and the latch plate is integrally set on the bottom bend of the U-groove of the lower bracket.

[0011] The upper bracket is provided with hinge shafts on both sides of the U-shaped groove, and the lock cover is provided with hinge holes, which are provided with guide trumpet mouths.

[0012] The microwave oven tray has the following advantages: the bending modulus of the bracket is greater than that of the oven tray sheath, so the rigidity of the bracket is greater than that of the oven tray sheath, the bracket not only connects and buckles the upper and lower units of the microwave oven tray through the lock to form the oven cavity of the food, but also supports and protects the oven tray sheath.

[0013] The upper horizontal bar is on the top surface of the oven tray sheath, and the lower horizontal bar is close to the butt joint of the oven tray sheath, so that the bracket supports the entire sheath and has good supporting effect. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS

[0023] A plurality of buckles 10 are distributed along the inner edge of the frame of the support, and the mounting groove 11 is arranged along the distribution of the buckles. The mounting groove 11 is continuous and closed on the surface of the baking tray cover, and is basically consistent with the shape of the inner edge of the frame of the support. The mounting groove is provided with a corresponding buckle hole 12 corresponding to each buckle, so that the support is buckled and mounted on the baking tray cover.

[0024] The buckle hole 12 penetrates the wall of the baking tray cover, and the buckle 10 passes through the buckle hole 12, so that the support is mounted on the baking tray cover. Alternatively, the buckle hole 12 extends horizontally and inwardly at the bottom of the mounting groove 11, which also allows the support to be mounted on the baking tray cover. See the enlarged view of Figure 2.

[0025] The lower horizontal bar 7 extends outwardly away from the center of the baking tray cover and has a locking plate 13, which is provided with a U-shaped groove 14.

[0026] The support is composed of an upper support 101 and a lower support 102. The upper support and the lower support are provided with a U-shaped groove in pairs. The lock 3 includes a lock cover 30 and a latch plate 31. The lock cover is hinged in the U-shaped groove of the upper support, and the latch plate is integrally arranged on the U-shaped groove bottom bend 15 of the lower support. The U-shaped groove of the upper support is provided with a hinge shaft 16 on both sides, and the lock cover is provided with a hinge hole 17. The hinge hole is provided with a guide horn 18. See Figures 2 and 4. After the support is buckled, the two horizontally arranged locking plates 13 are overlapped with each other.

[0027] The metal baking tray of the upper and lower units of the microwave baking tray is provided with a microwave absorbing layer (not shown) on the outer side.

[0028] The microwave baking tray is provided with a ventilation hole 19, which is arranged at the top surface of the baking tray cover or the second cover side wall 20 of the baking tray cover, or the abutting edge 21 of the baking tray cover.

[0029] The positioning structure can also be arranged on the baking tray cover to facilitate quick alignment when the upper and lower baking trays are abutted and buckled.

[0030] Embodiment Two

[0031] Referring to Figures 5-6, in this embodiment, the bottom edge of the lower horizontal bar is a distance away from the abutting edge of the baking tray cover, so that the two horizontally arranged locking plates 13 are parallel and separated after the support is buckled. The remaining structure is the same as that of Embodiment One.
