The present application is based on the discovery and recognition by the inventors of the following facts and problems:
in a steam oven or a steam oven in the related art, the water box has three taking and placing modes, namely a manual mode, an electric mode and a pressing automatic mode, the pressing automatic mode integrates the advantages of the manual mode and the electric mode, and the water box can be automatically ejected without electricity. However, the pressing automatic mode is that the clamp spring is in a natural state, so that the clamp spring is often clamped on the motion track and does not move along the motion track direction, and the water box cannot be ejected.
Therefore, the invention provides a water box guide structure of a steam cooking appliance, which can enable a guide elastic piece 420 to automatically generate power beneficial to the movement direction by means of the elastic force generated by the deformation of the guide elastic piece 420 in the process of operating a water box 200, so that the guide elastic piece 420 can better move along the movement track, the problem that the water box 200 cannot be popped up due to the clamping of a clamping spring is simply and effectively solved, and the service life of a product is prolonged.
A water box guide structure of a steam cooking appliance according to an embodiment of a first aspect of the embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
As shown in fig. 1 to 13b, a water box guide structure of a steam cooking appliance according to an embodiment of the present invention includes: mounting bracket 100, water box 200, unlocking mechanism 300 and guide mechanism.
Specifically, the water bucket 200 is movably provided to the mounting bracket 100 between a locked position and an unlocked position. The unlocking mechanism 300 is movably provided to the mounting bracket 100. The guide mechanism includes a guide 410 and a guide elastic member 420, the guide 410 is provided on one of the mounting bracket 100 and the water bucket 200, the guide elastic member 420 is movably provided on the other one of the mounting bracket 100 and the water bucket 200, and the guide elastic member 420 is adapted to slide around the guide 410. When the water box 200 is at the locking position, the water box 200 abuts against the unlocking mechanism 300 so that the unlocking mechanism 300 has a force of driving the water box 200 to the unlocking position, and the guide elastic member 420 stops at the guide member 410.
Here, the guide 410 is provided on one of the mounting bracket 100 and the water bucket 200, and the guide elastic member 420 is movably provided on the other one of the mounting bracket 100 and the water bucket 200, which means: the guide 410 may be provided on the mounting bracket 100 and the guide elastic member 420 may be provided on the water box 200, or the guide 410 may be provided on the water box 200 and the guide elastic member 420 may be provided on the mounting bracket 100.
For example, the water bucket 200 is drawably provided to the mounting bracket 100. When the water bucket 200 is not pressed into the mounting bracket 100, the guide elastic member 420 is in a natural state. During the process of pressing the water box 200 into the mounting bracket 100, the guide member 410 on the water box 200 and the mounting bracket 100 cooperate to promote the elastic deformation of the guide elastic member 420, the elastic force generated by the guide elastic member 420 gives the guide elastic member 420 a rotational power relative to the mounting bracket 100, and the power facilitates the movement of the guide elastic member 420 along the guide member 410, thereby effectively avoiding the clamping stagnation of the guide elastic member 420 during the movement.
When it is desired to take out the water bucket 200, the guide elastic member 420 bypasses the guide 410 by pressing the water bucket 200 again; after the pressing is stopped, the water cartridge 200 is pushed outward by the force of the unlocking mechanism 300, and the water cartridge 200 can be taken out of the mounting bracket 100.
According to the water box guide structure of the steam cooking appliance of the embodiment of the invention, the elastic deformation of the guide elastic member 420 is utilized to provide the advancing power for the guide elastic member 420, so that the guide elastic member 420 can be effectively prevented from being stuck in the sliding process, and the water box 200 can be ensured to better advance along the preset movement track.
According to some embodiments of the present invention, as shown in fig. 2 to 13b, the water bucket 200 is provided with an open guide groove in which the guide member 410 is provided, and a side surface of the guide member 410 is spaced apart from an inner wall surface of the guide groove to define the slide 210 guiding the guide elastic member 420 to slide. That is, the chute 210 is disposed around the guide 410 so that the guide elastic member 420 can smoothly enter and exit the chute 210 by its own elastic force.
Alternatively, as shown in fig. 3 to 5, the mounting bracket 100 is provided with a mounting portion 101, a first end of the guiding elastic member 420 is rotatably engaged with the mounting portion 101, and a second end of the guiding elastic member 420 is adapted to be slidably engaged with the slideway 210. For example, the mounting portion 101 may be a hole in which the first end of the guide elastic member 420 is rotatably fitted. In this manner, elastic deformation of the guide elastic member 420 is facilitated.
It is understood that the guide groove may be provided on the mounting bracket 100 and the mounting portion 101 may be provided on the water box 200, and in the description of the present invention, the guide groove is provided on the water box 200 and the mounting portion 101 is provided on the mounting bracket 100 as an example for description, but it should not be construed as limiting the present invention.
Alternatively, as shown in fig. 3 to 5, the mounting bracket 100 is provided with a movable chamber 102, and the inner wall of the movable chamber 102 is provided with a mounting portion 101 so that the guide elastic member 420 can rotate within the movable chamber 102. For example, the rotation angle range of the guide elastic member 420 may be α shown in fig. 3.
Alternatively, as shown in fig. 2 to 5, a boss 103 is provided adjacent to the mounting portion 101, and the guide elastic member 420 slides around the guide 410 under the cooperation of the slide rail 210 and the boss 103. That is, when the water box 200 is pressed in, the boss 103 and the slide 210 elastically deform the guide elastic member 420, so that the guide elastic member 420 is urged to travel along the movement track of the water box 200.
In some embodiments of the present invention, as shown in fig. 5, the slide 210 includes a first guide section 211, a cut-off section 212, and a second guide section 213 connected end to end in sequence, an outer end of the first guide section 211 is connected to an outer end of the second guide section 213 to form an opening of the guide groove, and a second end of the guide elastic member 420 is stopped at the cut-off section 212 when the water cartridge 200 is in the locking position. Thus, when the water cartridge 200 is pressed into the mounting bracket 100, the second end of the guide elastic member 420 slides along the first guide section 211; when the water box 200 is in the locking position, the second end of the guiding elastic piece 420 is stopped against the stopping section 212; when the water bucket 200 is ejected from the mounting bracket 100, the second end of the guide elastic member 420 slides along the second guide section 213, so that the water bucket 200 can smoothly slide regardless of the moving stage of the water bucket 200.
Further, as shown in fig. 5, a portion of the guide member 410 at the stopping section 212 forms a V-shaped groove 411 opened to the first end of the guide elastic member 420, that is, the guide member 410 forms a V-shaped groove 411 opened inward, so that the second end of the guide elastic member 420 is fitted into the V-shaped groove 411 when the water bucket 200 is at the locking position, thereby securing the locking and facilitating smooth entrance and exit of the guide elastic member 420.
In the description of the present invention, the direction "inner" may be understood as a direction opposite to the direction in which the opening of the guide groove faces, and the direction "outer", that is, the direction in which the opening of the guide groove faces, based on the water box 200.
Optionally, as shown in fig. 5, the inner end of the first guide section 211 further extends inward to form a first leakage section 201, and the inner end of the first leakage section 201 is located inside the cut-off section 212. Thus, it is possible to alleviate the impact between the guide elastic member 420 and the chute 210 when the guide elastic member 420 pushes the water bucket 200 with a strong force.
Further, as shown in fig. 5, the projection of the first pressure relief section 201 perpendicular to the moving direction of the water box 200 is located in the projection of the stopping section 212 perpendicular to the moving direction of the water box 200, so that the second end of the guide elastic member 420 can receive the buffering force when entering the V-shaped groove 411.
Optionally, as shown in fig. 5, the inner end of the second guide section 213 further extends inward to form a second leakage section 202, and the inner end of the second leakage section 202 is located inside the stopping section 212. Thus, it is possible to alleviate the impact between the guide elastic member 420 and the chute 210 when the guide elastic member 420 pushes the water bucket 200 with a strong force.
Further, as shown in fig. 5, the projection of the second pressure relief section 202 in the direction perpendicular to the moving direction of the water box 200 is located outside the projection of the stopping section 212 in the direction perpendicular to the moving direction of the water box 200, so that the second end of the guide elastic member 420 can be acted by a buffer force when coming out of the V-shaped groove 411.
In some embodiments of the present invention, as shown in fig. 2-5, the opening of the guide groove is provided with a guide rail 203 extending outward and communicating with the guide groove. Thus, the guide rail 203 can guide the second end of the elastic guide member 420 to smoothly slide before entering the slide 210 and after leaving the slide, so that the second end of the elastic guide member 420 is separated from the slide and matched with the slide along the moving direction of the water box 200, and the water box 200 is more favorably ensured to advance along the preset direction.
According to some embodiments of the present invention, as shown in fig. 1, the unlocking mechanism 300 includes: the push plate 310 and the unlocking elastic member 320. The push plate 310 is movably disposed on the mounting bracket 100, and the push plate 310 has a thrust portion against which the water cartridge 200 abuts when in the locking position. One end of the unlocking elastic member 320 is mounted to the mounting bracket 100, and the other end of the unlocking elastic member 320 is connected to the push plate 310. Thus, when the water box 200 is in the locking position, the thrust part abuts against the water box 200, the push plate 310 elastically deforms the unlocking elastic member 320, and the push plate 310 generates a force for driving the water box 200 to the unlocking position on the water box 200; when the water box 200 is taken out, the water box 200 is released after being pressed, and the water box 200 moves toward the unlocking position under the elastic force of the unlocking elastic member 320 applied by the push plate 310.

When the water box 200 needs to be inserted, the water box 200 is inserted into the mounting bracket 100, the water box 200 is pressed, the moving track of the clamp spring along the slide rail 210 on the water box 200 is (i) to (iii) to (iv), in the process that the clamp spring slides from (ii) to (iii), due to the combined action of the slide rail 210 and the boss 103, the clamp spring is elastically deformed, the generated elastic force enables the clamp spring to move along (iii) to (iv), and the clamp spring enters (i.e. in the first pressure relief section 201) to achieve the effect of buffering the thrust; after the pressing is stopped, the water box 200 is pushed forward by the push plate 310 under the action of the tension spring, the snap spring slides along the fourth to fifth to sixth, and at the sixth position, the water box 200 is limited to the sixth position and is static due to the tension of the tension spring and the limit of the V-shaped groove 411. Thus, the putting-in process of the water box 200 is realized.
When the water box 200 is taken out, the water box 200 is pressed again, and the snap spring enters the second pressure relief section 202 along the sixth to seventh directions under the limitation of the slide way 210, so that the effect of buffering the thrust is achieved; after the pressing is stopped, the snap spring is arranged along the direction of the clamp spring, namely the direction of the clamp spring is phi, the water box 200 is pushed forwards by the push plate 310 under the action of the tension spring, and the water box 200 can be taken out of the mounting bracket 100.
Fig. 6-a and 6-b are schematic structural diagrams of the snap spring in the position ((r)), fig. 7-a and 7-b are schematic structural diagrams of the snap spring in the position ((r)), fig. 8-a and 8-b are schematic structural diagrams of the snap spring in the position ((c)), fig. 9-a and 9-b are schematic structural diagrams of the snap spring in the position ((r)), fig. 10-a and 10-b are schematic structural diagrams of the snap spring in the position ((r)), fig. 11-a and 11-b are schematic structural diagrams of the snap spring in the position ((r)), fig. 12-a and 12-b are schematic structural diagrams of the snap spring in the position ((r)), and fig. 13-a and 13-b are schematic structural diagrams of the snap spring in the position ((r)).
Therefore, under the action of the tension spring, the push plate 310 provides a pushing force to the water box 200, so that the water box 200 comes out of the mounting bracket 100; the bottom of the mounting bracket 100 is provided with a rotatable snap spring, the bottom of the water box 200 is provided with a slide way 210 and a guide rail 203, and when the water box 200 is pressed, the snap spring on the mounting bracket 100 can move along the slide way 210 and the guide rail 203 on the water box 200; the mounting bracket 100 is provided with the boss 103, when the water box 200 is pressed in, the boss 103 and the slide way 210 enable the clamp spring to be elastically deformed to enable the clamp spring to move along the track direction of the water box 200, and the two force release grooves are designed on the slide way 210 of the water box 200, so that the impact between the clamp spring and the slide way 210 on the water box 200 can be relieved when the clamp spring pushes the water box 200 with high force, and the clamp spring is effectively prevented from being clamped with the slide way 210 and not moving along the track direction when the water box 200 is pressed.
According to the water box guide structure of the steam cooking appliance, the clamp spring can automatically generate power beneficial to the movement direction by virtue of the elastic force generated by the deformation of the clamp spring in the process of operating the water box 200, so that the clamp spring can better move along the movement track; the force release groove slows down the deformation of the snap spring caused by manual pressing too hard, so that the problem that the water box 200 cannot pop up due to the clamping of the snap spring is simply and effectively solved, and the service life of the product is prolonged.
