本发明的实施方式
下面通过具体实施方式结合附图对本申请作进一步详细说明。其中不同实施方式中类似元件采用了相关联的类似的元件标号。在以下的实施方式中,很多细节描述是为了使得本申请能被更好的理解。然而,本领域技术人员可以毫不费力的认识到,其中部分特征在不同情况下是可以省略的,或者可以由其他元件、材料、方法所替代。在某些情况下,本申请相关的一些操作并没有在说明书中显示或者描述,这是为了避免本申请的核心部分被过多的描述所淹没,而对于本领域技术人员而言,详细描述这些相关操作并不是必要的,他们根据说明书中的描述以及本领域的一般技术知识即可完整了解相关操作。
另外,说明书中所描述的特点、操作或者特征可以以任意适当的方式结合形成各种实施方式。同时,方法描述中的各步骤或者动作也可以按照本领域技术人员所能显而易见的方式进行顺序调换或调整。因此,说明书和附图中的各种顺序只是为了清楚描述某一个实施例,并不意味着是必须的顺序,除非另有说明其中某个顺序是必须遵循的。
本文中为部件所编序号本身,例如“第一”、“第二”等,仅用于区分所描述的对象,不具有任何顺序或技术含义。而本申请所说“连接”、“联接”,如无特别说明,均包括直接和间接连接(联接)。
用于循环式液体加热烹饪设备通常包括烹饪主机,该烹饪主机通过持续加热外接液体容器内的液体,进而加热置于液体中的食材,例如,该烹饪主机可以是但不限于低温慢煮机或恒温慢煮机等。
该外接液体容器用来容纳装有食材的食材存放单元(例如抽真空袋)。该外接液体容器外接在烹饪主机之外。外接液体容器中可装有液体,液体通常为水(此时外接液体容器也可称为水箱),当然外接液体容器内也可根据烹饪需求的不同而存放其他液体。该烹饪主机与外接液体容器形成循环式的液体通道,以便将液体抽入到烹饪主机内进行加热并将烹饪主机内加热后的液体排出到外接液体容器内。
通常,外接液体容器与烹饪主机为上下组合结构,烹饪主机上具有一个能够放置外接液体容器的容置腔,该容置腔位于烹饪主机的上端。如果上下一体结构,则当烹饪主机和外接液体容器较大的时候,换水较为困难。如果上下的烹饪主机和外接液体容器为可分离结构,那么,在该上下组合结构中,烹饪主机和外接液体容器都是通过固定设置的接头对接,这种对接方式有很大的局限性。对接头设置在外接液体容器的安装路径上,由于对接头位置不可变,安装外接液体容器时需要预先对齐对接头,这给用户带来了极大的不便,尤其是外接液体容器装有液体和食材时重量较大,此时要将外接液体容器与固定的对接头对齐,操作难度更大。
为此,请参考图1-5,本申请提供了多种不同的实施例,展示了循环式液体加热的烹饪设备多种不同的结构。在这些实施例中,该烹饪设备包括烹饪主机100和外接液体容器200。该外接液体容器200可作为循环式液体加热烹饪设备的一部分,也可作为独立于循环式液体加热烹饪设备的装置,与循环式液体加热烹饪设备配合使用。
在图1-5所示实施例中,该烹饪主机100包括壳体110以及外接容器对接结构,该外接容器对接结构包括安装基座111和对接管路组件120。
该壳体110是烹饪主机100主要的支撑结构和遮挡结构,该壳体110围成安装腔,用来安装和容置其他部件。该壳体110可由多个部件组合而成,也可能为一体成型的结构(如3D打印成型等)。该壳体110可以为烹饪主机100的最外壁,此外,壳体110上也可设置其他的外壳,例如后文中将要介绍的盖板130等。
请参考图5和7,该图示实施例中,壳体110具有周侧壳(即周向侧壁)和底座114,周侧壳和底座114连接,例如可拆卸的固定连接。周侧壳和底座114围成上述的安装腔。进一步地,该实施例中,周侧壳可具有在使用时朝向用户的前侧壳115、与前侧壳115背离的背侧壳112以及位于前侧壳115和背侧壳112之间的侧壳体113。其中,该前侧壳115、背侧壳112和侧壳体113是方位上的划分,并不限制该三者必须在物理结构上分离开。该三者之间的任意两个或三个可以一体结构或分离结构。
例如,在图5和7所示实施例中,前侧壳115本身为第一部分,背侧壳112和侧壳体113形成为一体结构的第二部分116,该一体结构可以为一体成型,也可以为固定连接。第二部分116和第一部分111可拆卸固定连接。该第一部分111和第二部分116组成前后壳结构,组装时,两者拼接即可形成一个完整的周侧壳。这种结构壳体110装配比较简单,而且背侧壳112和侧壳体113可预先围成一个腔体,这个腔体可用来容置驱动泵140、加热件150、控制装置170等部件,更方便安装。
本申请中,该安装基座111可以为壳体110的一部分或安装在壳体110上。例如,在图7-9所示实施例中,该安装基座111即为前侧壳115。在其他实施例中,该安装基座111也可以包括前侧壳115以及底座114等。
进一步地,在图1-5所示实施例中,该对接管路组件120包括至少一个第一对接口121和至少一个液体管路,第一对接口121与液体管路连通,第一对接口121用于与外接液体容器200连通,以与外接液体容器200建立液体通道。
该第一对接口121活动设置于安装基座111上,在第一对接口121的运动轨迹上具有对接段和非对接段,即,第一对接口121某一段运动轨迹被定义为对接段,某一段运动轨迹被定义为非对接段。当第一对接口121位于非对接段时,第一对接口121能够与位于配合位置的外接液体容器200脱离;当第一对接口121位于对接段时,第一对接口121能够与配合位置的外接液体容器200连通。该配合位置是指当外接液体容器200与烹饪主机100配合使用时所放置的位置,即当外接液体容器200位于配合位置时,就可以将第一对接口121移动到对接段,以与外接液体容器200对接,无需再改变外接液体容器200的位置。
当然,该配合位置既可以位于烹饪主机100之外,也可以位于烹饪主机100上。例如,在图1-4所示结构中,图中外接液体容器200均位于配合位置,此时外接液体容器200的配合位置位于烹饪主机100之外。再例如,在其他实施例中,当烹饪设备为前述的上下组合结构,该外接液体容器200的配合位置可位于烹饪主机100顶部的容置腔内。
该第一对接口121相对安装基座111的运动可设计为各种方向的运动,只要能在运动过程中实现与位于配合位置的外接液体容器200对接和分离即可。例如,该第一对接口121相对安装基座111的运动包括但不限于竖直平面内的运动,水平面内的运动以三维空间的三维运动。而,第一对接口121的运动轨迹则可以为但不限于直线、曲线、折线及其中至少两个的组合。此外,该第一对接口121的运动轨迹可以为往复运动,也可以为单方向运动(如运动轨迹为闭合的圆形)等。
具体地,请参考图1,图1所示为侧视图(即视角位于烹饪主机100的侧面)。该第一对接口121的运动为相对安装基座111沿竖直方向的往复运动。图1中(a)所示结构下,第一对接口121处于非对接段;图1中(b)所示结构下,第一对接口121处于对接段。
请参考图2,图2所示为俯视图(即视角位于烹饪主机100的上方)。该第一对接口121的运动为相对安装基座111沿水平方向的往复运动。图2中(a)所示结构下,第一对接口121处于非对接段;图2中(b)所示结构下,第一对接口121处于对接段。
请参考图3,图3所示既可以是俯视图(即视角位于烹饪主机100的上方),也可以是侧视图(即视角位于烹饪主机100的侧面)。该第一对接口121的运动为相对安装基座111在竖直平面或水平面内往复运动,该往复运动为旋转运动,运动轨迹为曲线。在图3中虚线所示位置,第一对接口121处于非对接段;在图3中实线所示位置,第一对接口121处于对接段。
请参考图4和5,图4和5所示实施例中,展示了一种更具体的烹饪主机100的结构。该实施例中,烹饪主机100与外接液体容器200为并排结构,使得烹饪主机100和外接液体容器200在沿水平方向平铺设置,外接液体容器200设于烹饪主机100的外侧,可根据需要而自由更换不同体积的外接液体容器200,不影响烹饪主机100的大小。
该图4和5所示实施例中,第一对接口121相对安装基座111的运动至少包括沿竖直方向的往复运动。其中,该实施例中,第一对接口121的非对接段位于对接段的上方,且对接段的运动轨迹和非对接段的运动轨迹连为直线。当然,在其他实施例中,即使第一对接口121的非对接段位于对接段的上方,但两者的运动轨迹相连,也可以为曲线、折线或者其他形式。在图4和5所示实施例中,当需要进行烹饪时,先将外接液体容器200如图4所示放置到烹饪主机100的侧方,此时外接液体容器200即处于配合位置,此后只需将第一对接口121沿竖直方向向下插接到外接液体容器200的第二对接口210上,即可完成外接液体容器200和烹饪主机100的对接。
为了方便上下插接,该图4和5所示实施例中,第一对接口121的对接端面朝向下方设置,此时,与第一对接口121配合的第二对接口210的对接端面则朝向上方设置(如图6所示)。此外,在其他实施例,第一对接口121的对接端面也可朝其他方向,例如当第一对接口121在水平面运动时,第一对接口121的对接端面也可沿水平方向朝向外接液体容器200设置。
当然,以上只是示例性举出几个关于第一对接口121运动方式和轨迹的例子,由于变形方案很多,本申请无法穷尽。但,需要说明的是,基于上述内容,本领域技术人员能够轻易地想到很多变形方案,这些变形方案都已包含在上述内容之中。
相对于固定位置的第一对接口121而言,上述各实施例中,第一对接口121可通过位置的变化而实现与外接液体容器200的通断。在对接外接液体容器200时,可先将第一对接口121移动到非对接段,减少第一对接口121对外接液体容器200安装路径的阻挡,当外接液体容器200放置到配合位置时,此时再移动第一对接口121至对接段,与外接液体容器200实现对接。
例如,在图1所示实施例以及图4和5所示实施例中,当需要烹饪时,先使第一对接口121位于非对接段,此时第一对接口121不会在外接液体容器200的安装路径上造成阻碍,可以很轻松的将外接液体容器200放置到配合位置(如图1和4所示位置),然后再将第一对接口121移动到对接段,此时即可将第一对接口121与外接液体容器200连通。
在以上各实施例中,第一对接口121的运动可由用户施加外力驱动,也可由具有电机等动力件的对接驱动组件进行机械驱动。对此,后文中将更详细的介绍。该驱动组件的启动可由用户手动控制,也可由控制单元自动控制。
在以上各实施例中,对于对接管路组件120来说,可以仅第一对接口121以及与第一对接口121对应的液体管路能够相对安装基座111运动。或者,在以上各实施例中,也可以使对接管路组件120部分或整个组件均可与第一对接口121一起运动。
一种实施例中,该对接管路组件120具有接头座122(请参考图8、9以及图13、14),第一对接口121安装在接头座122上,接头座122以可活动的方式安装在安装基座111上。其中,接头座122可带动第一对接口121及其液体管路在安装基座111上运动。
该第一对接口121和第二对接口210通常采用密封插接配合或其他方式连通,密封插接如可以采用但不限于过盈配合。通过该第一对接口121和第二对接口210,可实现烹饪主机100与外接液体容器200内液体的连通。当然,在其他实施例中,该第一对接口121和第二对接口210之间也可以通过其他中间结构进行过渡而连通。
在图8、9以及图13、14所示实施例中,该第一对接口121为公头结构(即第一对接口121具有插接头,可插入至外接液体容器200上的第二对接口210的插口内)。在其他实施例,该第一对接口121也可以为母头结构(即第一对接头具有插口,外接液体容器200上的第二对接口210可插入至第一对接口121的插口内)。
请参考图13、14所示实施例,为了安装第一对接口121,该接头座122具有至少一个接头安装口1221,第一对接口121固定安装在接头安装口1221内。
具体地,该接头座122的底壁设有接头安装口1221,该第一对接口121一端从上而下穿过该接头安装口1221。接头座122上设有一个压板1225,该压板1225将第一对接口121压紧固定在接头安装口1221内。当然,除了图示方式,第一对接口121也可通过卡接、螺接、粘接、焊接等方式被固定在接头座122上。
请参考图13、14,该实施例中,第一对接口121为至少两个,第一对接口121至少分为至少一个第一进液接口1211和至少一个第一出液接口1212。对应地,液体管路至少分为至少一个进液管1213和至少一个出液管1214,进液管1213与第一进液接口1211连通,出液管1214与第一出液接口1212连通。此时,该接头座122上的接头安装口1221可为两个以上,以安装第一进液接口1211和第一出液接口1212。该压板1225可同时压紧固定第一进液接口1211和第一出液接口1212。
请参考图13、14,该实施例中,该进液管1213和出液管1214分别从接头座122的两侧延伸出接头座122。当然,在其他实施例中,该进液管1213和出液管1214也可从接头座122的同一侧延伸出接头座122。通过该进液管1213和出液管1214,第一对接口121可与其他部件,例如后文中所介绍的驱动泵140和加热件150连通。
对应地,请参考图6和12所示实施例,该第二对接口210为至少两个,第二对接口210至少分为至少一个第二出液接口211和至少一个第二进液接口212。该第二出液接口211和第二进液接口212的进、出是相对于外接液体容器200而言,该第二出液接口211用于与第一进液接口1211连接,该第二进液接口212用于与第一出液接口1212连接。
当然,在其他实施例中,该第一对接口121也可以为一个同时用作进水和出水的接头,即一个接头同时用作进液接口和出液接口。该进液管1213和出液管1214在各种阀门的控制下,分别在不同时间与该第一对接口121连通,实现间歇性的抽取液体和排出液体,形成水循环。
进一步地,请参考图12-14所示实施例,为了提高对接密封性,该第一对接口121为公头结构,第二对接口210为母头结构,第一对接口121包括对接头和套设在对接头周向上的密封件1218。具体地,该对接头可具有沿周向设置的凹槽1217,密封件1218可套设在该凹槽1217中。或者,在其他实施例,该第二对接口210的插口内也可设置密封件1214,以对第一对接口121进行密封。
当然,在其他实施例,当第二对接口210为公头结构,第一对接口121为母头结构,该第一对接口121的插口腔壁和/或第二对接口210的插接头上也可设置密封件1218,以提高密封效果。
请继续参考图12-14所示实施例,,该密封件1218可凸起设置在第一对接口121的周向外壁,从而不仅能够通过该密封件1218实现密封,而且还能避免第一对接口121与第二对接口210直接接触,从而减小第一对接口121与第二对接口210插拔时的摩擦阻尼,使得第一对接口121和第二对接口210之间插拔更加省力和顺畅。
当然,作为图12-14所示实施例的变形,该密封件1218也可凸起设置在第二对接口210的插口内壁。或者,在其他实施例中,当第一对接口121为母头结构,第二对接口210为公头结构时,该密封件1218也可凸起设置在第一对接口121的插口内壁和/或第二对接口210的第二对接口210的周向外壁上。
通常,密封件1218可采用密封圈,密封圈的横截面可以为圆形、扇形、梯形或者其他形状等,当然也可替换为其他密封结构。该密封圈横截面上较小的一端朝外设置,以减小密封圈与对接区域的摩檫阻尼,即当密封圈设置在母头结构上,可减小密封圈与公头结构的周向外壁之间的摩擦阻尼;当密封圈设置在公头结构上,可减小密封圈与母头结构的插口内壁之间的摩擦阻尼。
为了更好的引导插接配合,请参考图12-14所示实施例,作为公头结构的第一对接口121可具有自内向外变小的导向端面1216,例如具有圆锥台形外壁,以引导第一对接口121和第二对接口210更容易和快速地对齐。当然,为了更好的与该导向端面1216配合,在图6所示实施例中,作为母头结构的第二对接口210也可具有喇叭状的导向口。
在其他实施例中,当第二对接口210为公头结构,第一对接口121为母头结构时,该第二对接口210也可具有上述导向端面1216,而第一对接口121可具有上述喇叭状的导向口。
为了通过该导向端面1216来引导第一对接口121和第二对接口210更准确的对接之外,还可另外设置接头导向结构。
请参考图12-14所示实施例,该对接管路组件120包括至少一个第一接头导向结构1215。为了与该第一接头导向结构1215形成配合 ,图6所示外接液体容器200的实施例中,该外接液体容器200具有至少一个第二接头导向结构220。该第一接头导向结构1215与第二接头导向结构220配合。其中,第一接头导向结构1215的导向方向与第一对接口121的对接方向一致,以避免与对接产生冲突。
在12-14所示实施例中,该第一接头导向结构1215具有至少一个凸起设置的导向柱。图6所示外接液体容器200的实施例中,该第二接头导向结构220也具有至少一个凹陷设置的导向槽,以引导第一接口和第二接口对齐。或者,在其他实施例中,该第一接头导向结构1215也可以具有至少一个凹陷设置的导向槽,对应地,该第二接头导向结构220具有至少一个凸起设置的导向柱。
在12-14所示实施例中,该第一接头导向结构1215与第一对接头一起朝向和背离外接液体容器200运动。该第一接头导向结构1215设于第一进液接口1211和第一出液接口1212之间。如图6所示,该第二接头导向结构220设于第二进液接口212和第二出液接口211之间。
当然,在其他实施例中,该第一接头导向结构1215也可设于第一对接口121的至少一侧。即,可设于第一进液接口1211的至少一侧,也可设于第一出液接口1212的至少一侧,还可同时在第一进液接口1211和第一出液接口1212的至少一侧分设有第一接头导向结构1215。此时,对应地,该第二接头导向结构220也可设于第二对接口210的至少一侧。
再或者,在某些实施例中,该第一进液接口1211和第一出液接口1212设于第一接头导向结构1215中。即,该第一进液接口1211、第一出液接口1212和第一接头导向结构1215为一个整体结构,该整体结构整个为导向结构,例如成整体的导向柱结构,该第一进液接口1211、第一出液接口1212设于该导向柱结构的内部,第一进液接口1211、第一出液接口1212可被设计为母头结构。此时,第二进液接口212和第二出液接口211也可设于第二接头导向结构220中,从而形成与第一对接口121配合的整体结构。
在以上所示的第一接头导向结构1215中,当第一接头导向结构1215为导向柱时,该第一接头导向结构1215朝向位于配合位置的外接液体容器200的一端(称为A端)相对于第一对接口121朝向位于该外接液体容器200的一端(称为B端)更凸出,即,该第一接头导向结构1215的A端距离外接液体容器200上第二接头导向结构220的距离比第一对接口121的B端距离外接液体容器200上第二对接口210的距离更近,因此,当第一对接口121与外接液体容器200对接时,第一接头导向结构1215先与第二接头导向结构220对接,形成导向定位。如此,既避免了第一对接口121提前磕碰到外接液体容器200,也引导了第一对接口121和第二对接口210的对位、对接,即,只要第一接头导向结构1215和第二接头导向结构220对准,则第一对接口121和第二对接口210也对准。
除此之外,也可利用其它导向结构来实现对第一对接口121和第二对接口210插接配合的导向。
进一步地,为了引导第一对接口121以及接头座122在安装基座111上更准确的运动。一种实施例中,该安装基座111设有至少一个第一接头座导向结构,接头座122具有至少一个第二接头座导向结构,第二接头座导向结构与第一接头座导向结构配合,以限定第一对接口121相对安装基座111的运动方向。该第一接头座导向结构和第二接头座导向结构导向方向于第一对接口121以及接头座122相对安装基座111的运动方向一致,即可以为沿竖直方向、水平方向或三维空间设置等。
请参考图8、9、14和15所示实施例,该第一接头座导向结构包括导轨1151和设于导轨1151上的挡块1152。第二接头座导向结构包括导槽1221,导槽1221滑动装配在导轨1151上。在图中,该导轨1151和导槽1221沿竖直方向设置。在其他实施例中,该导轨1151和导槽1221方向也可根据第一对接口121的运动方向而设置为上述各个方向。
该挡块1152位于导槽1221的外侧(该外侧是指导槽1221远离安装基座111的一侧),导槽1221的宽度小于挡块1152的宽度,以防止接头座122从安装基座111脱离。其中,该导槽1221的至少一端(如顶端或底端)开口,可通过该开口将接头座122从上而下卡入到导轨1151上。
为了防止在接头座122运动过程中导槽1221与导轨1151脱落,请参考图8、9、14和15所示实施例,挡块1152与导轨1151之间具有连接筋1153,连接筋1153的宽度小于导轨1151的宽度以及挡块1152的宽度。导槽1221的至少一端(如上端)设有至少一组限制块1222。每组中的限制块1222至少为两个,限制块1222位于导槽1221的外侧。限制块1222之间形成夹缝1223,夹缝1223的宽度小于导槽1221的宽度且大于连接筋1153的宽度,限制块1222用于阻挡导槽1221滑出导轨1151,夹缝1223用于供连接筋1153通过。该夹缝1223可略大于连接筋1153的宽度,只有当连接筋1153与夹缝1223完全对齐,该连接筋1153才可从夹缝1223中穿过,因此,在装配时,该夹缝1223可满足连接筋1153的通过需求,而在平常移动接头座122的过程中,有了该夹缝1223的限制,安装基座111很难从接头座122设置有夹缝1223的一端脱离。
另外,请参考图8、9、14和15所示实施例,也可在导槽1221的外侧至少一端设置第二挡块1223,该第二挡块1223对导轨1151上挡块1152形成阻挡,以防止挡块1152与导槽1221脱离,如此,也可防止接头座122与安装基座111脱离。
请参考图15,该实施例中,该第一接头座导向结构和第二接头座导向结构可分别设置至少两组,该第一接头座导向结构并排设置在安装基座111的不同位置,如位于安装基座111的两侧,第二接头座导向结构对应第一接头座导向结构设置,该第一接头座导向结构和第二接头座导向结构的配合,不仅起到导向作用,还起到支撑作用,使对接头在安装基座111上的运动更加平稳。
进一步地,第一对接口121在非对接段和对接段之间的运动,可完全由用户手动操作控制。或者,也可采用弹性件提供复位功能,从而减轻用户的操作难度。例如,请参考图10、16-18所示实施例,该对接管路组件120具有用于驱动第一对接口121向非对接段复位的第一复位弹性件123。当用户驱动第一对接口121自非对接段向对接端切换时,第一复位弹性件123因变形而蓄能。当第一对接口121和外接液体容器200脱离而向非对接段移动时,该第一复位弹性件123释放能量而带动第一对接口121复位,极大地方便了用户的操作。
请参考图16-18实施例,该第一复位弹性件123为至少两个,其分设在第一对接口121的两侧,例如在第一对接口121两侧对称设置。为了驱动第一对接口121及接口座122能够更平顺的复位,对称设置的两个第一复位弹性件123可采用相同规格,同时在第一对接口121及接口座运动时,两个第一复位弹性件123压缩量的变化一致,因此当驱动第一对接口121及接口座122的外力消失后,两个第一复位弹性件123能够同步复位,使第一对接口121及接口座122平稳移动。
该第一复位弹性件123的弹力可直接或间接作用于第一对接口121上,例如第一复位弹性件123直接与第一对接口121连接或者第一复位弹性件123与和第一对接口121连接的其他部件连接。在图10、11、16-18所示实施例中,第一复位弹性件123的弹力通过连接块1245以及接头座122(连接块1245及接头座122的连接结构将在下文中详细描述)传递至第一对接口121上。当然,这仅是一种示例,在其他实施例中,该第一复位弹性件123还可采用其他方式驱动第一对接口121向非对接段复位。
进一步地,当第一对接口121与外接液体容器200对接后,可依靠两者之间的摩擦阻尼而保持连接状态。为了更好的保持连接状态,也可在烹饪主机100上设置锁定结构来保持连接状态,或者通过外接液体容器200上的锁定结构来保持连接状态。
例如,该对接管路组件120具有至少一个锁定组件。当第一对接口121位于非对接段时,锁定组件处于解锁状态,第一对接口121未被锁定组件锁定;当第一对接口121自非对接段切换到对接段时,锁定组件切换为锁定状态,并将第一对接口121锁定在对接段内。
该锁定组件对第一对接口121的锁定既可以是直接锁止第一对接口121的位置,也可以通过锁止与第一对接口121联动的其他结构而间接的锁止第一对接口121。锁定组件的锁定方式包括但不限于卡接、磁吸、过盈配合等方式。
其中,锁定组件的锁定状态和解锁状态的切换,可完全由用户单独手动控制,即用户手动移动锁定组件的位置而将锁定组件在锁定状态以及解锁状态之间切换。或者,该锁定组件也可与第一对接口121联动,由第一对接口121的运动而带动锁定组件锁定和解锁。再或者,锁定组件也可由具有电机等动力件的驱动组件进行驱动,从而在锁定状态以及解锁状态之间切换。
例如,一种实施例中,该锁定组件为具有解锁功能的自锁结构,该自锁结构与第一对接口121形成联动结构,第一对接口121的运动将带动自锁结构的状态切换。当第一对接口121自非对接段运动至对接段时,自锁结构从解锁状态切换为锁定状态;当触发自锁结构切换至解锁状态时,第一对接口121能够自对接段运动至非对接段。
具体地,请参考图16-18所示实施例,锁定组件124具有自锁件1241和固定设置在安装基座111上的锁定配合件1242。锁定配合件1242可直接或间接地固定设置在安装基座111。该自锁件1241与第一对接口121形成联动结构,第一对接口121与自锁件1241一起运动。该锁定配合件1242具有锁定配合腔1242a,锁定配合腔1242a具有相对设置的第一腔壁1242b和第二腔壁1242c。该锁定配合腔1242a的两侧分别连通有进入通道1242d和移出通道1242e。该第一腔壁1242b延伸至进入通道1242d内,以保证当外力消失时,自锁件1241能够在第一复位弹性件123的驱动下进入锁定配合腔1242a内。
具体地,如图17所示结构,当第一对接口121位于非对接段时,该自锁件1241位于锁定配合腔1242a之外。如需要对接第一对接口121时,用户向第一对接口121和自锁件1241施加外力,如直接或间接按压向第一对接口121,驱动第一对接口121运动。在第一对接口121自非对接段移动至对接段时,带动自锁件1241在进入通道1242d内移动并越过第一腔壁1242b。当外力消失时,自锁件1241在第一复位弹性件123的驱动下进入锁定配合腔1242a内,并且第一复位弹性件123还驱动自锁件1241与锁定配合腔1242a的第一腔壁1242b扣合,自锁结构切换至锁定状态。
该第二腔壁1242c具有引导结构,在锁定状态下,当需要解锁时,用户可向第一对接口121和自锁件1241施加外力,如直接或间接按压向第一对接口121。此时,该自锁件1241能够在受到外力时沿引导结构移动至移出通道1242e,自锁结构由此切换至解锁状态。此时,因失去了第一腔壁1242b的阻挡作用,而且,第一复位弹性件123的弹力大于外接液体容器200对第一对接口121的摩擦力以及烹饪主机100上其他部件对第一对接口121及其联动结构的摩擦力。在第一复位弹性件123的作用下,自锁件1241沿移出通道1242e向远离锁定配合腔1242a的方向复位,最后带动第一对接口121回到非对接段的初始位置。
在图16-18所示的具体结构中,该进入通道1242d、锁定配合腔1242a和移出通道1242e依次连通而形成一个类似W的腔体形状。该进入通道1242d和移出通道1242e的最低点形成限位,当自锁件1241移动到最低点位置时,用户即使再继续用力,第一对接口121也不会往下移动。
在上述结构中,用户可通过两次施力动作,例如两次按压操作,从而实现将第一对接口121锁定在对接段和解锁第一对接口121的目的。而且,当第一对接口121解锁后,第一对接口121还可以在第一复位弹性件123的作用下自动复位,无需用户再施加外力,简化了用户的操作,提高操作便利性。
进一步地,请参考图16-18所示实施例,该引导结构包括向背离自锁件1241复位方向(图16-18所示实施例中自锁件1241复位方向为竖直向上)倾斜设置的第一导向面(即图17和18中所示第二腔壁1242c的形状)。该第一导向面为斜面,该第一腔壁1242b与自锁件1241的扣合中心与第一导向面对齐,即保证当自锁件1241再受到用户外力时,其将会运动到第一导向面上,并随着第一导向面移动到移出通道1242e中,完成解锁。
为了确保自锁件1241与第一腔壁1242b的扣合位置符合预期,同时提高扣合效果的稳定性,请参考图16-18所示实施例,该自锁件1241具有外凸部,第一腔壁1242b具有内凹结构,以与自锁件1241的外凸部嵌合。该外凸部与内凹结构的嵌合中心与第一导向面对齐,以保证自锁件1241再受到用户外力时,其将会运动到第一导向面上。例如,在图17和18所示实施例中,该内凹结构为折角结构(即图中所示第一腔壁1242b的形状),该折角结构的转折处即为外凸部与内凹结构的嵌合中心,该转折处与第一导向面对齐。
为了保证嵌合效果,一种实施例中,该自锁件1241的横截面(即图17和18所示自锁件1241的截面)为多边形、圆形、椭圆形或其他形状,其中,多边形的边数大于三。如图17和18,在图中,该自锁件1241的横截面为四边形。该四边形的转角可形成倒圆角,从而提高自锁件1241的顺滑性。
请参考图16-18所示实施例,为了形成上述锁定配合腔1242a,该锁定配合件1242包括第一锁定配合块1242f和第二锁定配合块1242g。该第一锁定配合块1242f和第二锁定配合块1242g可与其他结构一体成型或固定在锁定配合件1242上。该第一锁定配合块1242f和第二锁定配合块1242g分离设置,两者之间的间隙形成锁定配合腔1242a,第一腔壁1242b位于第一锁定配合块1242f,第二腔壁1242c位于第二锁定配合块1242g。当然,在其他实施例中,也可通过其他结构形成上述的锁定配合腔1242a。
进一步地,请参考图16-18所示实施例,进入通道1242d和移出通道1242e分设在第一锁定配合块1242f的两侧。锁定配合件1242包括第一限位通道1242h,在正常状态下(第一对接口121处于非对接段)自锁件1241活动设置于第一限位通道1242h。第一限位通道1242h设于第一锁定配合块1242f背离第二锁定配合块1242g的一侧,第一限位通道1242h与进入通道1242d和移出通道1242e连通。自锁件1241能够从第一限位通道1242h移入进入通道1242d以及从移出通道1242e进入第一限位通道1242h。该第一锁定配合块1242f面向移出通道1242e的一侧不设置障碍,例如形成顺着移出通道1242e延伸的平面,从而避免影响自锁件1241从移出通道1242e移出至第一限位通道1242h中。
为了更好的引导自锁件1241进入该进入通道1242d,请参考图16-18所示实施例,第一锁定配合块1242f朝向第一限位通道1242h的一面具有向进入通道1242d内倾斜的第二导向面1242i,以引导自锁件1241向进入通道1242d内移动。
进一步地,请参考图16-18所示实施例,锁定组件124包括导柱1243,自锁件1241活动连接于导柱1243上。该导柱1243与第一对接口121形成联动结构,两者一起运动。该锁定配合件1242具有第二限位通道1242j,第一限位通道1242h和第二限位通道1242j相通,两者并排设置。该导柱1243活动设置于第二限位通道1242j,当导柱1243在第二限位通道1242j运动时,同时带动自锁件1241在第一限位通道1242h中移动。
请参考图16-18,当导柱1243沿第二限位通道1242j运动时,为保证自锁件1241在第一限位通道1242h、进入通道1242d以及移出通道1242e更顺滑的移动,该锁定组件124还包括连杆1244,连杆1244转动连接于导柱1243上,自锁件1241设于连杆1244上,自锁件1241与连杆1244固定连接或一体成型。当自锁件1241在第一限位通道1242h、进入通道1242d以及移出通道1242e,自锁件1241可借助连杆1244与导柱1243的转动连接,根据需要而自适应的改变其与导柱1243的转动角度,提高移动的顺滑性。
进一步地,该连杆1244具有凸轴1244a,该凸轴1244a和自锁件1241凸起设于连杆1244的同一面,凸轴1244a和自锁件1241均活动安装于第一限位通道1242h,连杆1244与导柱1243的转动中心线与凸轴1244a同轴。在自锁件1241完成自锁和解锁的过程中,该凸轴1244a始终位于第一限位通道1242h内,以限定连杆1244与导柱1243转动中心线的位置。
请参考图16-18所示实施例,该第一限位通道1242h和第二限位通道1242j均沿竖直方向设置,导柱1243的运动至少包括竖直方向的往复运动。当然,在其他实施例中,该第一限位通道1242h和第二限位通道1242j也可沿其他方向设置,例如沿水平方向或沿三维空间倾斜设置,对应的,导柱1243的运动至少包括水平方向的运动或三维空间的往复运动。
进一步地,请参考图16-18所示实施例,为了提高结构的紧凑性,该锁定配合件1242具有弹性件容置腔1242k,第一复位弹性件123安装在弹性件容置腔1242k内。该弹性件容置腔1242k与第一限位通道1242h并排设置。该实施例中,将第一复位弹性件123集成在锁定组件124上,使得结构更加紧凑,整机体积更小。当然,在其他实施例中,该第一复位弹性件123也可独立于锁定组件124存在,并设置在其他位置。
请参考图16-18所示实施例,为了实现自锁件1241、第一复位弹性件123与第一对接口121的联动,该锁定组件124还包括连接块1245。连接块1245与第一对接口121形成联动结构,例如可与接头座122的连接部1224(见图14)固定连接。该导柱1243与连接块1245固定连接,连接块1245设有弹性件安装柱1245a,第一复位弹性件123安装于弹性件安装柱1245a上,弹性件安装柱1245a插入至弹性件容置腔1242k内。弹性件安装柱1245a上设有卡台,将第一复位弹性件123卡在弹性件容置腔1242k内。当然,这只是一种联动结构,该自锁件1241、第一复位弹性件123还可通过其他结构与第一对接口121实现联动效果。
上述各实施例提供了一种与第一对接口121联动的锁定组件124。在其他实施例中,该锁定组件124也可采用完全的手动锁定和解锁,例如,一种实施例中,该锁定组件124包括锁定件和供用户手动锁定和解锁锁定件的手动控制件,锁定件活动设置于安装基座111上,手动控制件与锁定件联动,用以控制锁定件在锁定状态和解锁状态之间切换。该手动控制件可以采用但不限于按钮、旋钮、拨杆、拉绳、摆杆等结构。
或者,其他实施例中,该锁定组件124还可采用动力驱动的方式,例如,锁定组件124包括锁定件和第一驱动组件,锁定件活动设置于安装基座111上,第一驱动组件与锁定件连接,用以控制锁定件在锁定状态和解锁状态之间切换。该第一驱动组件可采用电机、气缸、液缸、电磁铁等动力件提供驱动动力。
无论采用哪种锁定组件124,该锁定组件124的数量可设置为一个以上。例如,一种实施例中,请参考图8所示实施例中,该安装基座111的中间区域为容器对接区,该实施例中,锁定组件124为至少两个,其相对的设置在容器对接区的两侧,第一对接口121设于容器对接区的上方。该锁定组件124从两侧锁定第一对接口121,可保证第一对接口121以及接头座122受力均匀。可以理解地,在其他实施例中,锁定组件124可以为至少两个,其并排设置在容器对接区,第一对接口121设置于容器对接区的上方。
进一步地,当第一对接口121与外接液体容器200对接后,为了防止外接液体容器200移位而与第一对接口121脱离,或因外接液体容器200晃动而造成接口密封性受影响,本申请一种实施例中,该对接管路组件120还包括容器锁紧件,容器锁紧件与导柱1243形成联动结构,即两者一起移动。例如,请参考图11,当第一对接口121自非对接段运动至对接段时,导柱1243传动容器锁紧件1246向外接液体容器200一侧伸出,以插入外接液体容器200,防止外接液体容器200移位;请参考图10,当第一对接口121自对接段运动至非对接段时,导柱1243传动容器锁紧件1246背离伸出方向运动,外接液体容器200可自由拆卸。
其中,为了与容器锁紧件1246配合,请参考图6所示实施例,该外接液体容器200具有用于与容器锁紧件1246配合的锁紧凹槽240,该锁紧凹槽240位于外接液体容器200的侧面。具体地,在图6中,该实施例的锁紧凹槽240设于外接液体容器200的凸起部230的侧面。在该实施例中,该第二出液接口211和第二进液接口212设置在该凸起部230的顶端,以方便与第一对接口121对接。当然,在其他实施例中,该锁紧凹槽240也可设置在外接液体容器200其他面。例如,当没有凸起部230时,该锁紧凹槽240也可设置在外接液体容器200朝向烹饪主机100的一面,或者设置在外接液体容器200的顶面。
同时,当烹饪主机100和外接液体容器200为上下可拆分结构时,通常外接液体容器200底部开有第二对接口210。当外接液体容器200从烹饪主机100中拆卸后,外接液体容器200的第二对接口210容易漏水。如要防止外接液体容器200与烹饪主机100脱离后漏水,需要将第二对接口210密封性提高,但是这样则导致第二对接口210与烹饪主机100的第一对接口121插接更加困难。因此既要保持良好的插接手感,又要保证第二对接口210的密封性,两者很难平衡。而在图6所示实施例中,将第二出液接口211和第二进液接口212设置在该凸起部230的顶端,当外接液体容器200的第二对接口210与烹饪主机100的第一对接口121脱离后,外接液体容器200内的液体不会从第二对接口210漏出,因此,无需将第二对接口210与第一对接口121的密封性做的很好,只要保证两者插接时不漏水即可,可保证良好的插接手感。
进一步地,请参考图10、11、19和20所示实施例,容器锁紧件1246活动设置在安装基座111上。容器锁紧件1246具有滑槽1246a,滑槽1246a具有倾斜段1246b,倾斜段1246b的延伸方向相对导柱1243的运动轨迹倾斜。导柱1243具有滑块1243a,滑块1243a置于滑槽1246a内,导柱1243通过滑块1243a驱动容器锁紧件1246朝向和背离外接液体容器200运动。该倾斜段1246b的设计,能够将导柱1243的运动转换成其他方向的运动,例如,在图19和20中,该导柱1243沿竖直方向运动,经过该倾斜段1246b的运动方向转换后,该容器锁紧件1246变为沿水平方向伸出和回缩(如图10、11所示)。当然,该容器锁紧件1246也可沿其他方向朝向和背离外接液体容器200运动,如沿竖直方向或在倾斜方向运动。
为了保证容器锁紧件1246在回缩位置和伸出位置能够稳定,请参考图19和20所示实施例,滑槽1246a具有位于倾斜段1246b两端的自锁段1246c,自锁段1246c自倾斜段1246b向外的延伸方向相互背离,且与导柱1243的运动轨迹一致。当导柱1243位于自锁段1246c时,能够在容器锁紧件1246朝向和背离外接液体容器200的运动方向形成自锁,以保证容器锁紧件1246的稳定性。
进一步地,自锁段1246c背离倾斜段1246b的一端具有阻挡结构,以阻止滑块1243a滑出滑槽1246a。
具体地,在图10、11以及图19和20中,还包括连接座1247,滑槽1246a两端贯通设置于容器锁紧件1246上,连接座1247与容器锁紧件1246连接,连接座1247扣合在两个自锁段1246c背离倾斜段1246b的一端,形成阻挡结构。
该连接座1247通过还可作为容器锁紧件1246的安装结构。请参考图8、9、10、11以及图19和20,该连接座1247固定安装在安装基座111上,该连接座1247设有第三限位通道1247a,和/或安装基座111第四限位通道1154。容器锁紧件1246设于第三限位通道1247a和第四限位通道1154上,以限定容器锁紧件1246在导柱1243驱动下,朝向和背离外接液体容器200运动。在图中,该第三限位通道1247a、第四限位通道1154即为水平方向,在其他实施例中,该第三限位通道1247a、第四限位通道1154也可为其他方向,如竖直方向或倾斜方向,使得容器锁紧件1246从底部朝向水箱伸出。
此外,该自锁段1246c上的阻挡结构也可以包括与滑槽1246a一体成型的槽壁,例如滑槽1246a和阻挡结构可以在容器锁紧件1246上一体成型。
在图16-20中,该导柱1243的运动至少包括竖直方向的往复运动,容器锁紧件1246的运动至少包括沿水平方向的往复运动。
当然,在其他一些实施例中,也可省略上述自锁件1241、锁定配合件1242等与自锁相关的结构,即第一对接口121在对接段不锁定或采用其他结构的锁定组件124进行锁定。该导柱1243可用来直接驱动容器锁紧件1246伸出和回缩,以限制外接液体容器200移位。
即,一种实施例中,对接管路组件120包括容器锁紧件1246和导柱1243,导柱1243与第一对接口121形成联动结构;当第一对接口121自非对接段运动至对接段时,导柱1243传动容器锁紧件1246向外接液体容器200一侧伸出,以插入外接液体容器200。
请参考图10和11所示实施例,该安装基座111的中间区域为容器对接区,该容器锁紧件1246为至少两个,其相对的设置在容器对接区的两侧,从而从外接液体容器200两侧锁紧外接液体容器200,保证了锁紧效果的稳固。在其他实施例中,该容器锁紧件1246为至少一个,设置在容器对接区的底部,从而从外接液体容器200的底部锁紧外接液体容器200。
进一步地,驱动第一对接口121以及与第一对接口121成联动结构的部件运动的力可来自于用户施加的外力,也可以为来自于电机等驱动件。
而对于用户手动驱动第一对接口121以及与第一对接口121联动的部件运动的方案中,用户可通过其他部件来间接向第一对接口121以及对接管路组件120施加外力,以驱动第一对接口121以及对接管路组件120运动。
例如,一种实施例中,还包括便于用户施加外力的施力件,施力件与第一对接口121形成联动结构,用户可直接向施力件施力(如按压等),以驱动第一对接口121移动。
请参考图5、9和23所示实施例,该施力件为外盖130,外盖130罩盖在对接管路组件120上,与对接管路组件120形成联动结构。用户可直接向外盖130施加作用力,如按压力,进而驱动第一对接口121以及对接管路组件120运动。该外盖130与安装基座111活动连接,例如滑动连接。其中,该外盖130除了作为施力件存在,其本身还起到遮盖作用,可用来封盖住对接管路组件120中部分或全部结构,以使得整机外观更加简洁。例如,在图5所示实施例中,该锁定组件124、接头座122、容器锁紧件1246、第一复位弹性件123等均容置于外盖130内侧空间内。该外盖130还可设有容器锁紧口131,以用来供容器锁紧件1246伸出。
其中,如图5所示,该第一对接口121至少部分从窗口132伸出至外盖130之外,以方便对接。当然,在其他实施例中,该第一对接口121也可设于外盖130的窗口132之内。只有当第一对接口121需要对接外接液体容器200时,该第一对接口121才伸出到外盖130之外。
为了便于拆卸和维修,通常,该外盖130与对接管路组件120的接头座122可拆卸固定。例如,请参考图14和23,该外盖130则具有至少一个卡扣部133,而接头座122可具有卡扣配合部1226,外盖130可通过该卡扣部133卡扣到接头座122上。在图中,该卡扣部133和卡扣配合部1226为两个,其分别设置在外盖130和接头座122的顶部,并位于顶部的两侧。装配者可轻松地将外盖130从接头座122顶部扣合到接头座122上。当然,除此之外,该外盖130还可通过其他方式与接头座122实现可拆卸的固定连接,如螺接、磁吸固定等方式,以使得两者可以一起运动。
为了使得外盖130能够在安装基座111上顺畅和符合预期的运动,一种实施例中,该外盖130滑动连接在安装基座111上。该安装基座111上可针对外盖130设计各种滑动和导向结构。
请参考图8和23所示实施例,该安装基座111的两侧具有外盖滑槽1155,外盖130具有对应的外盖滑块134,外盖滑块134与外盖滑槽1155滑动连接,以使外盖130能够随对接管路组件120相对安装基座111运动。
其中,该外盖滑槽1155之间可具有间隙,外盖130处于初始状态(未下压时),该外盖滑块134位于间隙处,与外盖滑槽1155错位;当外盖130下压后,外盖滑块134才滑入滑槽1246a中。
此外,该导向结构还可以为其他结构,例如,安装基座111的中间区域具有第三导向结构,外盖130具有第四导向结构,第三导向结构与第四导向结构配合,以引导外盖130在安装基座111上运动。
一种实施例中,第三导向结构和第四导向结构中至少其一具有凸起的卡扣,另一个具有与卡扣配合的第二导向槽,卡扣卡入第二导向槽内,并能够沿第二导向槽的槽腔移动。
请参考图9和23所示实施例,该第四导向结构具体为卡扣135,该第三导向结构为沿竖直方向设置的第二导向槽1156,该卡扣135可扣合在第二导向槽1156的背面,并能够在外盖130运动时,在第二导向槽1156内运动。
以上仅示意性公开了几种外盖130与安装基座111活动连接的方式,当然,外盖130和安装基座111还可通过其他任意可行的结构实现活动连接和导向,例如,还可通过下文中将要介绍的抵接限位组件1159实现对外盖130运动的导向。
进一步地,考虑到该外盖130面积大,如果外接液体容器200与外盖130接触,将会在外盖130运动时形成巨大的摩擦阻尼,同时还会带来噪音。对此,该安装基座111可具有容器对接限位结构,容器对接限位结构用于限制外接液体容器200与外盖130接触,使外盖130与外接液体容器200不接触或仅通过局部小面积接触。
请参考图5所示实施例,该容器对接限位结构包括朝向外接液体容器200一侧设置的挡台1157。在水平方向上,挡台1157相对于外盖130上与挡台1157处于同一配合区的区域凸出设置,以阻挡外接液体容器200接触与挡台1157处于同一配合区的区域。
该同一配合区是指挡台1157和外盖130上与外接液体容器200同一面配合的区域,例如,在图5和9所示结构中,该安装基座111的侧面具有容器容纳腔1158(如图9所示),外盖130覆盖在容器容纳腔1158的外侧,且外盖130具有与容器容纳腔1158对应的凹陷部,以容纳外接液体容器200的一部分。其中,挡台1157可分为正面挡台1157a和侧面挡台1157b,该正面挡台1157a与外盖130的凹陷部的底面136为同一配合区,侧面挡台1157b与外盖130的凹陷部的侧面137为同一配合区。该正面挡台1157a相对凹陷部的底面136凸出,侧面挡台1157b相对于外盖130的凹陷部的侧面137凸出。如图6所示,该外接液体容器200具有凸起部230,该凸起部230可插入外盖130的凹陷部以及安装基座111的容器容纳腔1158,进行配合,此时外接液体容器200即位于上述的配合位置。该挡台1157可从正面和侧面对凸起部230限位,使该外接液体容器200与外盖130不接触。
当然,该安装基座111和外盖130也可不具有凹陷结构,例如采用图1所示,烹饪主机100与外接液体容器200相互配合的面为平面。
在图5和7所示实施例中,该挡台1157位于外盖130的下方,具体挡台1157可设置在前侧壳111和/或底座114上。此时,该挡台1157还可起到避免烹饪主机100被外接液体容器200撞倒的作用。当外接液体容器200插入时,下方的挡台1157先与外接液体容器200接触,使得撞击力位于烹饪主机100的下部分,可防止烹饪主机100被撞倒。此外,烹饪主机100内还可增加配重结构,使得烹饪主机100重心下移,进一步防止烹饪主机100被撞倒。
进一步地,该容器对接限位结构也可采用其他结构,例如,请参考图5和8所示实施例,容器对接限位结构包括朝向外接液体容器200一侧设置的抵接限位组件1159。该抵接限位组件1159设有安装基座111上,外盖130设有第一避让口138,抵接限位组件1159的一端从第一避让口138穿出外盖130,并凸起设置在外盖130的外侧。
在图5和8所示实施例中,外盖130相对安装基座111的运动至少包括沿竖直方向的往复运动,第一避让口138沿竖直方向设置。具体地,在外盖130运动时(如图中外盖130沿竖直方向往复运动),该第一避让口138沿外盖130运动方向延伸呈长条状,以对抵接限位组件1159形成避让,因此抵接限位组件1159的位置不影响外盖130的运动。该第一避让口138还可作为导向结构,对外盖130实现导向限制。
该抵接限位组件1159可起到限位作用,例如仅凸起设置在外盖130之外,以抵顶外接液体容器200。或者,一种实施例中,抵接限位组件1159也可具有到位提醒结构,到位提醒结构用于在外接液体容器200移动至限定位置时发出提醒信号,提醒信号包括声音信号和光信号中的至少一种。
请参考图9、21和22,作为提醒信号为声音信号的实施例,该到位提醒结构包括抵接件1159a、第二复位弹性件1159b、随动件1159c、限位件1159d、弹片1159e和滚动件1159f。该抵接件1159a至少部分凸出在外盖130的外侧,抵接件1159a通过第二复位弹性件1159b与安装基座111弹性连接。第二复位弹性件1159b用于提供促使抵接件1159a向外盖130的外侧复位的弹性力,当抵接件1159a受压(如抵接外接液体容器200)时,将压缩第二复位弹性件1159b变形。该第二复位弹性件1159b可直接或间接作用于抵接件1159a上。
随动件1159c与抵接件1159a连接,并能够随抵接件1159a移动。该随动件1159c具有腔体,腔体具有敞开口,弹片1159e安装在腔体中。该限位件1159d具有限位槽1159i,限位件1159d封盖在敞开口处。滚动件1159f置于腔体内,并位于限位槽1159i与弹片1159e之间。
滚动件1159f可采用球体、柱体或者其他便于滚动的结构。在抵接件1159a向外盖130内侧移动的过程中,随动件1159c相对限位件1159d移动,限位件1159d通常固定连接在安装基座111上。在随动件1159c运动过程中,该限位槽1159i与弹片1159e限制出用于引导滚动件1159f移动的导向通道,该导向通道为动态结构,导向通道的路径和形状主要由限位件1159d上限位槽1159i的形状决定,滚动件1159f在限位槽1159i的运动大致可如图22中箭头所示。该导向通道包括第一运动段和与第一运动段连通的第二运动段。在抵接件1159a和随动件1159c运动过程中,滚动件1159f能够随着抵接件1159a的移动而自第一运动段运动至第二运动段,其中,第一运动段的通径小于滚动件1159f,使得滚动件1159f位于第一运动段时,能够挤压弹片1159e,第二运动段的通径大于滚动件1159f,使得滚动件1159f切换至第二运动段时,弹片1159e能够复位,以推动滚动件1159f撞击随动件1159c和/或限位件1159d,发出提醒信号。
请继续参考图21和22,在图示实施例中,该限位槽1159i为V形限位槽1159i,弹片1159e呈折叠状,折叠状的弹片1159e凸起设置在随动件1159c的腔体内,其凸起一侧朝向敞开口,该限位件1159d可封闭该敞开口。折叠状的弹片1159e的一端1159h与V形限位槽1159i形成第一运动段,另一端1159g与V形限位槽1159i形成第二运动段。在随动件1159c的运动过程中,滚动件1159f逐渐从一端1159h运动到另一端1159g,这一过程中滚动件1159f从压紧弹片1159e的一端1159h逐渐变为释放弹片1159e,并弹片1159e回复力作用下撞击其他部件,产生声音。
进一步地,请继续参考图21和22,在图示实施例中,还包括盒体1159j,盒体1159j安装在安装基座111上。该限位件1159d覆盖在盒体1159j上,以形成安装腔,第二弹性复位件位于安装腔内,抵接件1159a的一端插入安装腔内,并与第二弹性复位件连接,也随动件1159c置于安装腔内。该盒体1159j同时对随动件1159c形成限位导向,以限制随动件1159c沿着盒体1159j限制的方向运动。通过该盒体1159j和限位件1159d的配合,可将抵接限位组件1159形成封闭的整体结构,便于装卸,同时还可保护内部各部件。
当然,在其他实施例中,也并非必须具有该盒体1159j,该随动件1159c以及抵接件1159a也可不设置导向结构,或者采用其他导向结构,例如导轨1151或导槽1221或导向孔等。
此外,在其他实施例中,该容器对接限位结构也可采用其他能够发出提醒信号的结构,并不限于图21和22所公开的具体实施例。
当然,容器对接限位结构还可采用其他结构,例如,请参考图9,该容器对接限位结构还可包括用于卡住外接液体容器200的卡接体11510,该卡接体11510设于容器容纳腔1158的侧壁。该外盖130的凹陷部的侧壁具有第二避让口139,卡接体11510沿第二避让口139的轴向弹性连接(例如通过弹性件连接在安装基座111上或卡接体11510本身具有弹性),并凸出设置在所述第二避让口139。当外接液体容器200插入至容器容纳腔1158和凹陷部中时,该卡接体11510能够卡住外接液体容器200的侧壁(如凸起部230的侧壁),从而对外接液体容器200形成定位。当然,为了与该卡接体11510配合,该外接液体容器200上也可设置对应的卡接槽。当外盖130运动时,第二避让口139的口壁将挤压卡接体11510,使其沿第二避让口139的轴向回缩,从而收回到外盖130内侧,不影响外盖130的运动。
为了便于卡接体11510的回缩以及与外接液体容器200的卡接,该卡接体11510具有外小内大形状的卡接部11511(卡接体11510的远端为外,与远端背离的一端为内),例如卡接部11511可以为球面形、圆锥形或棱锥形等外小内大的结构。
以上仅是示意性介绍了几种容器对接限位结构,实际上,本申请所说的容器对接限位结构不限于上述所介绍的实施例,其还可选择其他能够实现限定外接液体容器200与外盖130距离的其他结构。
上述实施例介绍了将外盖130作为施力件,以方便用户控制第一对接口121及其联动结构的方式,在其他实施例中,该施力件也可替换为其他结构,例如拨块、拨杆、拉绳、转动柄、推柄等。
此外,在其他实施例中,用户也可直接驱动对接管路组件120而控制第一对接口121及其联动结构,例如,该对接管路组件120具有便于用户施加外力的施力部,施力部与第一对接口121形成联动结构,施力部用于用户驱动第一对接口121移动。例如,该施力部可以为上述接头座122某个区域或安装在接头座122上的某个部件。
另外,该第一对接口121及其联动结构的运动也可由动力件驱动,例如,在其他实施例中,还包括对接驱动组件,对接驱动组件的输出端与第一对接口121形成联动结构,以驱动第一对接口121运动。该对接驱动组件可采用电机、气缸、液缸、电磁铁等动力件提供驱动动力。该动力件经过传动结构与第一对接口121及其联动结构连接。用户可通过实体键、触控键或触控屏对该动力件进行控制,或者,烹饪主机100也可基于检测信息而自动控制动力件,以实现第一对接口121对接和解除对接的自动化。
进一步地,在一种循环式液体加热的烹饪主机100,其通常还包括其他部件,例如,请参考图7,该实施例中,烹饪主机100还包括驱动泵140、加热件150、显示装置160以及控制装置170等。
该驱动泵140与第一对接口121连通,用于与外接液体容器200建立液体流动通道。加热件150用于对引入烹饪主机100内的液体进行加热。控制装置170包括控制单元,驱动泵140、显示装置160和加热件150均与控制单元电连接,控制单元控制驱动泵140、显示装置160和加热件150的工作。
在烹饪主机100的各个外侧壁中,至少一个外侧壁为用于与外接液体容器200配合的外接液体容器侧。外接液体容器200能够并排地放置在烹饪主机100的外接液体容器侧(如图1-4所示的多个实施例),此时烹饪主机100的第一对接口121能够与第二对接口210可拆卸的密封连通。该外接液体容器侧与外接液体容器200配合,是指在配合过程中,该外接液体容器侧与外接液体容器200之间可具有连接关系,以帮助外接液体容器200更好的保持在外接液体容器侧,当然,外接液体容器侧与外接液体容器200之间也可以不具有任何连接关系(除第一对接口121的管路对接结构外),两者仅是单纯地并排放置在一起。
该驱动泵140与第一对接口121连通,用于与外接液体容器200建立液体流动通道。该驱动泵140提供用于将外接液体容器200内液体抽入烹饪主机100以及将烹饪主机100内被加热的液体泵入外接液体容器200内的动力。该驱动泵140可以包括一个或两个以上的泵,这些泵可采用但不限于液压泵、正排量泵、旋转泵、重力泵、排量泵、直升泵、往复泵、脉冲泵、速度泵、离心泵、轴流泵、螺旋泵、挠性叶片泵、滑动叶片泵、活塞泵、柱塞泵、隔膜泵、蠕动泵、旋转凸轮泵以及螺杆泵中至少一个。当具有两个以上泵,这些泵可以组合使用。例如,通常在完成烹饪之后,管路组件120中会有液体残留,液体残留时间久了容易发臭,影响下一次使用;同时,在完成烹饪之后,管路组件120中由于液体蒸发或者液体外流等原因会形成空气段,也同样会影响下一次的使用。对此,驱动泵140包括能够抽取外接液体容器200内液体的抽液泵141和能够排除管路组件120中空气的抽气泵142,抽气泵142主要用于在烹饪开始且对接管路组件120气密封时,排出对接管路组件120中的空气段,并将外接容器200中的水引入抽液泵141中,使得抽液泵141满足运转条件,可以顺利泵送液体;同时,抽气泵142还可以在烹饪结束时,通过对接管路组件120上与大气流通的排气阀或者排气口的配合,将对接管路组件120中的残液排出。抽液泵141和抽气泵142相互配合,完成烹饪过程中的吸液、液体循环和排液过程。再例如,该驱动泵140也可单单具有一个抽液泵141,该抽液泵141同时兼顾抽取液体和排除空气的作用。该抽液泵141和抽气泵142可采用但不限于液压泵、正排量泵、旋转泵、重力泵、排量泵、直升泵、往复泵、脉冲泵、速度泵、离心泵、轴流泵、螺旋泵、挠性叶片泵、滑动叶片泵、活塞泵、柱塞泵、隔膜泵、蠕动泵、旋转凸轮泵以及螺杆泵中至少一个。
该抽气泵140的进口与抽液泵130的出口连通。当抽气泵140连接于抽液泵130的出口时,同时还可用于辅助抽取抽液泵130抽取液体,增大抽吸动力。该抽气泵140的出口还可通过管路连接到加热件150的出口或出液管1214,以帮助液体的排出,同时在抽气泵140抽取气体时带入的液体,也可回流到管路中。
该加热件150具有加热腔,抽液泵130的出口与加热腔的进口连通,将液体送入加热腔内加热,加热腔的出口与出液管1214连通,从而将加热后液体通过出液口122送入外接液体容器200内。该加热腔的外侧可设置加热元件,该加热元件可为电热元件,即能够将电能转换成热能,对加热腔内的液体进行加热。该抽液泵130、抽气泵140和加热件150均与控制单元电连接,述控制单元控制抽液泵130、抽气泵140和加热件150的工作。
该显示装置160用于显示信息。其中,该显示装置160可以只是一个纯显示信息的装置,即为一个显示屏组件。此外,该显示装置160也可为一个同时具备显示和触控操作的触控屏组件。该烹饪主机100也可具有一些实体按键或触摸按键,来便于用户执行某些指令输入和操作。当然,当显示装置160具有触控功能时,也可省略这些实体按键或触摸按键。
