Abstract

The present invention provides a height-adjustable baking device, including a first grill unit and a second grill unit. The second grill unit includes a second housing, a second baking plate, a connecting column and an adjusting member. A first end portion of the connecting column is connected with the second baking plate. A second end portion of the connecting column is screwed with the second housing, and the connecting column is movable relative to the second housing along a vertical rotation direction. The adjusting member is arranged on the second housing and engaged with a tail end of the second end portion of the connecting column, so that the connecting column drives the second baking plate to move up or down by a height relative to the second housing.

First claim

1 . A height-adjustable baking device, comprising a first grill unit and a second grill unit pivoted to the first grill unit, the second grill unit comprising a second housing, and a second baking plate movably mounted in the second housing and facing the first grill unit, wherein
the second grill unit further comprises a connecting column and an adjusting member; a first end portion of the connecting column is connected with the second baking plate, so that relative positions between the connecting column and the second baking plate remain unchanged; a second end portion of the connecting column is screwed with the second housing, and the connecting column is movable relative to the second housing along a vertical rotation direction; and the adjusting member is arranged on the second housing and engaged with a tail end of the second end portion of the connecting column so as to control the connecting column to rotate through the adjusting member, so that the connecting column drives the second baking plate to move up or down by a height relative to the second housing.

2 . The height-adjustable baking device according to claim 1 , wherein
the second end portion of the connecting column is screwed with the second housing through thread grooves and thread ridges.

3 . The height-adjustable baking device according to claim 2 , wherein
an outer surface of the second end portion of the connecting column is provided with the thread ridges; and the second housing is provided with a fixing member forming a hollow sleeve, and an inner surface of the hollow sleeve of the fixing member is provided with the thread grooves.

4 . The height-adjustable baking device according to claim 1 , wherein
a side of the second baking plate facing away from the first grill unit is provided with a snap-fit member, and the first end portion of the connecting column is movably connected with the snap-fit member.

5 . The height-adjustable baking device according to claim 1 , wherein
the first end portion of the connecting column is fixedly connected with the second baking plate; when a pattern on a surface of the second baking plate is in axial symmetry and the adjusting member drives the connecting column to rotate by 180°, the second baking plate moves up or down by the height relative to the second housing; and when the pattern on the surface of the second baking plate is in central symmetry and the adjusting member drives the connecting column to rotate by 90°, the second baking plate moves up or down by the height relative to the second housing.

6 . The height-adjustable baking device according to claim 1 , wherein
the first grill unit comprises a first housing, and a first baking plate fixedly mounted on an inner side of the first housing and facing the second grill unit, and a periphery of the first baking plate is provided with a side wall, so that the first baking plate and the second baking plate form a baking space.

7 . The height-adjustable baking device according to claim 6 , wherein
a height of the side wall is equal to the height by which the second baking plate moves up or down.

8 . The height-adjustable baking device according to claim 1 , wherein
the adjusting member is a knob, the knob comprises a connecting hole, the connecting hole has a depth equal to the height and has a same shape as a cross section of the tail end of the second end portion of the connecting column, and the tail end of the second end portion of the connecting column is inserted into and engaged with the connecting hole.

9 . The height-adjustable baking device according to claim 1 , wherein
the adjusting member is an adjusting arm extending from the connecting column out of the second housing along any direction, and opposite sides of the second housing are provided with a rail groove.

10 . The height-adjustable baking device according to claim 9 , wherein
the adjusting arm extends from the connecting column perpendicularly out of a side of the second housing.
