Description

Sweet potato oven with magnetic front panel

This creation relates to the structure of a sweet potato oven, specifically a sweet potato oven with a magnetic front panel. The front panel is located on the front side of the baking tray to cover the oven door and also to insulate the heat from the baking tray, thus preventing the risk of burns.

Note that sweet potatoes are rich in dietary fiber and various vitamins, making them a highly nutritious food. Compared to white rice, sweet potatoes have a lower glycemic index while providing sufficient satiety. Moderate consumption helps control blood sugar, making them an excellent starch choice for fitness enthusiasts or those trying to lose weight. Sweet potatoes are generally cooked by steaming or baking, with baked sweet potatoes being particularly popular. Baking not only enhances the aroma of the sweet potato but also converts some of the starch into sugar and removes excess water, resulting in a sweeter taste.

Many convenience stores currently sell roasted sweet potatoes. To facilitate roasting the sweet potatoes in the store, convenience stores typically use ovens. Roasting sweet potatoes generally requires a high temperature, around 200℃. Therefore, the oven itself will also be very hot. Furthermore, to maintain the temperature of the roasted sweet potatoes, the finished products are placed in a display area above the oven for warmth before being offered to customers. Since the oven also serves as a platform for displaying the roasted sweet potatoes, if customers open the oven door carelessly, it could damage the oven or cause food safety issues. Additionally, the oven's outer shell is extremely hot, and customers could suffer burns if they accidentally touch it.

Therefore, in order to prevent consumers from opening the oven door at will and to avoid burns, the creators considered how to provide a sweet potato oven.

Given the numerous shortcomings in the existing structure of sweet potato ovens, the main purpose of this invention is to provide a sweet potato oven with a magnetic front panel that uses the front panel to cover the oven door and block the heat from the heat source, thus preventing burns.

To achieve the aforementioned main objectives, this invention provides a sweet potato oven with a magnetic front panel, comprising an oven body, two heat-resistant baffles, and a front panel. The oven body has a baking rack and a display frame, the display frame being positioned on the top side of the baking rack, and an oven door on the front side of the baking rack. The heat-resistant baffles are respectively disposed on two opposite sides of the baking rack of the oven body, each heat-resistant baffle forming a perimeter, and a through-hole is formed on one side of each perimeter, with a magnetic element disposed in each through-hole. The front panel has a plate and a connecting portion formed on two opposite sides of the plate and disposed toward the perimeter of the heat shields. The front panel is magnetically attracted to the magnetic elements through the connecting portion.

With the aforementioned technical features, the front panel conceals the oven door of the baking rack within the oven body, preventing consumers from arbitrarily operating the oven door and insulating the high temperature of the baking rack. Even if consumers touch the front panel, they will not suffer burns. Furthermore, when placing raw sweet potatoes into the baking rack for baking, the front panel is magnetically attached to the two heat shields, making it very easy to remove or install, resulting in a convenient operating structure.

Preferably, a first ear is formed on one side of the edge of each heat shield, and two second ears are formed near the bottom of the connecting part of the front panel. The first and second ears are connected by a connector, so that the front panel is hinged to the heat shield. In this way, the front panel can be pivoted relative to the heat shield. The staff can pivot the front panel downward to open the oven door, put in the raw sweet potatoes or take out the baked sweet potatoes, and then pivot the front panel upward to make the front panel magnetically attached to two magnetic elements.

Preferably, an advertising slot is provided on one side of the front panel, the advertising slot having an upper slot and a lower slot, which are arranged opposite each other. In this way, the business can attach a product information board to the advertising slot, using the space in front of the oven body for advertising, so that consumers can understand the features of the products sold at a glance.

The detailed structure, features, assembly, and usage of the sweet potato oven with a magnetic front panel provided in this invention will be described in the subsequent detailed description of the embodiments. However, those skilled in the art should understand that such detailed descriptions and the specific embodiments listed in this invention are for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to limit the scope of the patent application.

Secondly, when it is stated that one component is disposed on another component, it means that the aforementioned component is directly disposed on the other component, or that the aforementioned component is indirectly disposed on the other component; that is, one or more other components are disposed between the two components. Conversely, when it is stated that one component is "directly" disposed on another component, it means that no other components are disposed between the two components.

Please refer to Figures 1 to 4. The sweet potato oven 10 provided in this creation mainly includes an oven body 20, two anti-scalding baffles 30, and a front panel 40.

The oven body 20 has a baking rack 21 and a display frame 22.

A heating device is installed inside the baking rack 21. When the heating device is turned on, the temperature inside the baking rack 21 will gradually rise, and the operator can open the oven door 211 on the front side of the baking rack 21 and put the raw sweet potatoes into the baking rack 21 for baking.

The display frame 22 has a front cover 221, a rear cover 222, an upper cover 223, and two side covers 224. The front cover 221, rear cover 222, upper cover 223, and two side covers 224 can all be made of, for example, acrylic. The side covers 224 and the rear cover 222 are mounted on the top of the baking base 21. The front cover 221 is connected to the two side covers 224. The upper cover 223 is connected to the rear cover 222 and the side covers 224. Consumers can see the roasted sweet potatoes inside the display frame 22 through the transparent front cover 221. They can pick up the roasted sweet potatoes by simply lifting the front cover 221.

The display frame 22 also includes a display rack 225, which is located on the top side of the baking rack 21 and within the space enclosed by the front cover 221, rear cover 222, top cover 223, and side covers 224. The display rack 225 has two legs 2251 and a platform 2252, with the two legs 2251 connected to both sides of the platform 2252, thereby dividing the space within the display frame 22 into upper and lower sections. The baking area consists of a top layer and a bottom layer. The bottom layer is the top surface of the baking rack 21. Operators usually place many stones in the bottom layer. The roasted sweet potatoes can be placed on these stones. The stones have good heat retention properties, and because these stones are placed on the top surface of the baking rack 21, the temperature of the baking rack 21 will still be conducted to the bottom layer, allowing these stones to store a large amount of heat energy and continuously provide a stable temperature to maintain the heat of the roasted sweet potatoes. The roasted sweet potatoes can also be placed in the upper area, that is, on platform 2252. Platform 2252 is already a distance away from the top of the baking rack 21, so it is less affected by the temperature of the baking rack 21. The roasted sweet potatoes in this area will gradually cool down to room temperature. In this way, consumers can choose to buy warm roasted sweet potatoes or room temperature roasted sweet potatoes according to their own preferences.

The heat shield 30 has a rectangular structure. Each heat shield 30 has a raised edge 31 on all four sides. Near the top of the front side of the edge 31, a through hole 32 is formed. A magnetic element 33 is disposed in the through hole 32. The magnetic element 33 can be, for example, a magnetic screw. Its rod has external threads, while the through hole 32 has internal threads. The rod of the magnetic element 33 can be locked into the through hole 32, while the head of the magnetic element 33 remains outside the through hole 32. This embodiment uses two heat shields 30, which are respectively installed on the left and right sides of the baking rack 21 of the oven body 20. These heat shields 30 can be installed on the baking rack 21 of the oven body 20, for example, by screws or other snap-fit structures. Since the heat shields 30 have a surrounding edge 31, when installed on the oven body 20, a heat dissipation space is formed between the heat shields 30 and the side of the oven body 20, which allows cold air to pass through the heat dissipation space and carry away the heat of the baking rack 21.

In addition, a first ear 34 is formed on the front side of the perimeter 31 of each anti-scalding baffle 30. The first ear 34 protrudes outward from the end edge of the perimeter 31 and is located near the bottom of the anti-scalding baffle 30. A first connecting hole 341 is also formed in the first ear 34.

The front panel 40 has a plate 41 and a connecting portion 42. The connecting portion 42 is formed by protruding outward from the end edges of the two opposite sides of the plate 41. A magnet or a metal sheet may be provided near the top of the connecting portion 42. Near the bottom of the connecting portion 42, two second ears 43 are formed. Each second ear 43 forms a second pivot hole 431. When the front panel 40 is installed on the two anti-scalding baffles 30, the front panel 40 can be pivoted to the anti-scalding baffles 30 by passing the first pivot hole 341 of the first ears 34 and the second pivot hole 431 of the second ears 43 through the two connecting members 50 respectively. The front panel 40 can then pivot relative to the anti-scalding baffles 30. When the front panel 40 pivots to the oven door 211 that covers the baking rack 21 of the oven body 20, the magnet or metal sheet inside the connecting part 42 will attract the two magnetic elements 33 of the anti-scalding baffles 30, and the front panel 40 will be magnetically attached to the anti-scalding baffles 30.

Furthermore, due to the structure of the connecting part 42, the plate 41 of the front panel 40 is separated from the front surface of the baking rack 21 of the oven body 20 by a certain distance, so that the front panel 40 will not directly hit the oven door 211 of the baking rack 21. This space can also serve as a heat dissipation space, allowing cold air to pass through the heat dissipation space and carry away the heat emitted by the baking rack 21, keeping the front panel 40 at room temperature.

Additionally, an advertising slot 44 is provided on one side of the panel 41 of the front panel 40. The advertising slot 44 has an upper slot 441 and a lower slot 442, which are positioned opposite each other on the surface of the panel 41. In this way, the business can attach the top and bottom of the roasted sweet potato product information board 60 to the upper slot 441 and lower slot 442 of the advertising slot 44, utilizing the space in front of the oven body 20 for advertising, allowing consumers to understand the features of the roasted sweet potato product at a glance.

Please also refer to Figure 5. In normal use, the front panel 40 covers the oven door 211 of the baking rack 21 to prevent consumers from opening the oven door 211 at will, as shown in Figure 1. When the business needs to bake or when baking is completed, only force needs to be applied to the front panel 40. If the pulling force is greater than the magnetic force between the front panel 40 and the anti-scalding baffle 30, the front panel 40 can be rotated downwards around the two connectors 50 as fulcrums, so that the oven door 211 of the baking rack 21 is exposed, as shown in Figure 5. At this time, the business can open the oven door 211 to put raw sweet potatoes into the baking rack 21, or take out the baked sweet potatoes from the baking rack 21. After closing the oven door 211, simply rotate the front panel 40 upwards to allow the connecting part 42 to be magnetically attracted to the two magnetic elements 33 of the heat shield 30 again.

In summary, the sweet potato oven 10 provided by this invention magnetically connects the front panel 40 to the heat shield 30, which not only isolates the heat generated by the baking rack 21 of the oven body 20, but also completely covers the oven door 211 of the baking rack 21, preventing consumers from arbitrarily operating the oven door 211 and causing damage or danger. Compared with the existing technology, this invention effectively improves safety.

Finally, it must be stated again that the constituent elements disclosed in the aforementioned embodiments are merely illustrative examples and are not intended to limit the scope of this application. Substitutions or variations of other equivalent elements should also be covered by the scope of this patent application.
