Detailed Description

In order to make the aforementioned objects, features and advantages of the present invention comprehensible, embodiments accompanied with figures are described in detail below. In the following description, numerous specific details are set forth in order to provide a thorough understanding of the present invention. This invention may, however, be embodied in many different forms and should not be construed as limited to the embodiments set forth herein.

As shown in fig. 2 and 3, in an embodiment, a locking assembly 1414 is provided, which includes a locking holder 141 and a locking hook 142, wherein a guiding path is provided in the locking holder 141, a locking position 1413 is provided on the guiding path, the guiding path includes a guiding locking section 1411 and a guiding unlocking section 1412, the guiding locking section 1411 and the guiding unlocking section 1412 are respectively located at two sides of the locking position 1413, the locking hook 142 can move in the guiding path, when the locking holder 141 moves to first contact with the locking hook 142 along a locking direction, the locking hook 142 moves into the locking position 1413 along the guiding locking section 1411, and when the locking holder 141 moves along the locking direction again, the locking hook 142 moves out of the locking position 1413 along the guiding unlocking section 1412 to be unlocked from the locking position 1413. An elastic support is arranged between the locking hook 142 and the locking seat 141, so that the locking hook 142 can be pressed in the locking position 1413 when moving to the locking position 1413.

In the locking assembly 14 provided by the above scheme, in the use process, the locking holder 141 and the locking hook 142 are respectively installed on two objects to be locked, and the two objects are locked by locking between the locking holder 141 and the locking hook 142. Specifically, when the latch seat 141 moves in the latching direction to first contact with the latch hook 142, the latch hook 142 moves into the latching position 1413 along the guiding latching section 1411 on the latch seat 141. After the locking hook 142 reaches the locking position 1413, the locking hook 142 is pressed at the locking position 1413 under the supporting action of the elastic support, so that the locking between the locking hook 142 and the locking catch seat 141 is ensured. When unlocking is required, the latch holder 141 is moved in the locking direction, and the latch hook 142 moves out of the latch holder 141 from the locking position 1413 along the guide unlocking section 1412. The operation process is simple and quick, and the service performance is higher.

In particular, the locking assembly 14 may be used in an anvil sterilizer 10, or in other items that need to be locked.

More specifically, in one embodiment, as shown in fig. 2 and 3, the latch seat 141 is provided therein with a guide groove, and the guide groove is provided therein with a guide protrusion 143. The guide path is formed by the guide protrusion 143 spaced apart from the wall surface of the guide groove. The portion of the wall surface of the guide groove above the guide protrusion 143 is a first guide surface 1414, and the side surface of the guide protrusion 143 facing the first guide surface 1414 is a second guide surface 1431. The first guide surface 1414 and the second guide surface 1431 are both V-shaped with an upward opening, and the locking position 1413 is a V-shaped corner of the second guide surface 1431. The elastic force of the elastic support is distributed along the longitudinal direction, so that the hooking portion 1421 of the locking hook 142 can be pressed at the locking position 1413.

When the latch socket 141 and/or the latch hook 142 move such that the latch socket 141 moves in the locking direction with respect to the latch hook 142, the hooking portion 1421 of the latch hook 142 moves in the V-shaped gap between the first guide surface 1414 and the second guide surface 1431. When the latch holder 141 is initially in contact with the latch hook 142, the hooking portion 1421 moves to the locking position 1413 in a section of the V-shaped gap, and is pressed against a V-shaped corner of the second guide surface 1431 by an elastic force of the elastic supporting member. In the locked state, when the latch seat 141 moves in the locking direction again, the hook 1421 moves out of the locking position 1413 along another section of the V-shaped gap.

Further, in order to enable the latch hook 142 to move in the V-shaped gap according to the above-described procedure. As shown in fig. 3, in one embodiment, the V-shaped corner of the first guide surface 1414 is offset to a side proximate the guide locking segment 1411 relative to the V-shaped corner of the second guide surface 1431.

When the hooking portion 1421 of the locking hook 142 is located at the locking position 1413 and the locking catch 141 moves in the locking direction with respect to the locking hook 142 again, the V-shaped corner of the first guide surface 1414 is biased to a side close to the guide locking section 1411 with respect to the V-shaped corner of the second guide surface 1431, so that the locking hook 142 can continue to move out of the V-shaped gap along another section of the V-shaped gap under the limiting and guiding action of the first guide surface 1414 instead of moving along a path that the locking hook moved into the locking position 1413 before being locked.

Further, as shown in fig. 4, in one embodiment, the second guide surface 1431 is a saw-tooth surface 1433, the saw cut of the saw-tooth surface 1433 faces downward along the second guide surface 1431 in the guide locking segment 1411, and the saw cut of the saw-tooth surface 1433 faces upward along the second guide surface 1431 in the guide unlocking segment 1412.

Based on the elastic force of the elastic supporting member distributed along the longitudinal direction, after the hook part 1421 enters the V-shaped gap, the hook part 1421 is consistently pressed on the second guide surface 1431, so that the serrated surface 1433 can limit the hook part 1421, and the latch hook 142 can only move according to the above process. In other words, as shown in fig. 3 and 4, when the latch holder 141 initially contacts the hook portion 1421, the hook portion 1421 of the latch hook 142 moves to the latching position 1413 along the guide latching section 1411; when the latch holder 141 is moved again in the locking direction relative to the hook 1421, the latch hook 142 is retained in the guide locking section 1411 from exiting the locking position 1413 along the guide locking section 1411 and can only move out of the locking position 1413 along the guide unlocking section 1412 based on the saw cut in the guide locking section 1411 facing downward along the second guide surface 1431. After the hook part 1421 moves out to the highest point of the second guide surface 1431 along the guide locking segment 1411, based on that the saw cut on the guide unlocking segment 1412 faces upwards along the second guide surface 1431, the hook part 1421 is limited and cannot return to the locking position 1413 along the guide unlocking segment 1412, so that the hook part 1421 is ensured to move only according to the above steps, and the lock hook 142 and the lock catch seat 141 can be normally unlocked.

Further specifically, as shown in fig. 4, in one embodiment, the cross-section of the serrated surface 1433 is a plurality of right triangles connected in series. The legs of the right triangle are downstream of the respective hypotenuse in the guided locking segment 1411 and upstream of the respective hypotenuse in the guided unlocking segment 1412. Therefore, the right-angle side of the right triangle can limit the hook part 1421, and the latch hook 142 can be moved according to the above steps.

Further, in one embodiment, as shown in fig. 2 and 3, the guide protrusion 143 is located at the middle of the guide groove. The left side, the right side and the lower side of the guide protrusion 143 are spaced from the wall surface of the guide groove to form the closed guide path. A start position 1415 is arranged on the guide path, and the start position 1415 is positioned below the guide protrusion 143.

When the latch seat 141 is about to contact the latch hook 142, the hook portion 1421 of the latch hook 142 is aligned to the start position 1415. Until the latch seat 141 is first moved in the latching direction relative to the hook 1421, the hooking portion 1421 of the latch 142 is moved from the start position 1415 in the direction of the arrow shown in fig. 3 from the left side of the guide protrusion 143 to the upper left corner of the second guide surface 1431, enters the V-shaped gap under the guiding action of the first guide surface 1414 and the second guide surface 1431, and finally reaches the latching position 1413. When the latch seat 141 moves in the locking direction again, the hook 1421 moves to the upper right corner of the second guide surface 1431 along the V-shaped gap, and then moves downward from the right side of the guide protrusion 143 to the start position 1415, exits the latch seat 141, and unlocks the latch seat 141 and the latch hook 142.

Further, in one embodiment, as shown in fig. 1, the latch seat 141 is a plate member disposed along a longitudinal direction. The guide groove is formed on the front side of the plate member, and the guide protrusion 143 is connected to the bottom wall of the guide groove, where the bottom wall of the guide groove is a wall facing the front side. A starting opening 1416 is arranged below the guide groove, the starting position 1415 is located at the starting opening 1416, and the hook part 1421 can enter the guide path from the starting opening 1416.

When the latch seat 141 moves downward to approach the latch hook 142 along the latching direction, the hook portion 1421 of the latch hook 142 is opposite to the starting opening 1416, and as the latch seat 141 moves, the hook portion 1421 gradually enters the guiding latching section 1411 from the starting position 1415 to reach the latching position 1413. When the latch base 141 is moved in the locking direction again, the hooking portion 1421 moves from the locking position 1413 to the start position 1415 along the guide unlocking section 1412.

Further, as shown in fig. 2 and 3, in one embodiment, the guiding protrusion 143 is surrounded by two V-shaped sides, one of which is the second guiding surface 1431, and the other of which is the lower side surface 1432 of the guiding protrusion 143. The V-shaped corner of the underside 1432 of the guide projection 143 is offset to the side of the start 1415 remote from the guide locking section 1411. When the latch seat 141 moves downwards and the hook 1421 enters the guide path from the start position 1415, the hook 1421 can accurately enter the guide locking section 1411 under the guiding action of the lower side surface 1432 of the guide protrusion 143, and cannot enter the guide unlocking section 1412 on the other side of the V-shaped corner of the lower side surface 1432, so as to ensure that the latch hook 142 can move according to the foregoing process.

Further, in an embodiment, an end of the latch hook 142 away from the hook part 1421 is a connection end, and the latch hook 142 can swing around the connection end, so that the hook part 1421 can swing along the V-shape of the second guide surface 1431. So that the hooking portion 1421 can pass through the guide locking segment 1411 from the start position 1415 to the locking position 1413 and then pass through the guide unlocking segment 1412 from the locking position 1413 to the start position 1415 in the guide path according to the aforementioned procedure.

Alternatively, in another embodiment, as shown in fig. 5, the guide path is a strip-shaped groove which is obliquely arranged relative to the horizontal plane, and an opening of the strip-shaped groove faces to the side. In other words, the openings of the strip-shaped grooves do not face upwards or downwards. Two side walls of the strip-shaped groove are distributed at intervals in the longitudinal direction, the side wall located below the strip-shaped groove is a locking wall, the locking position 1413 is a notch arranged on the locking wall, and the elastic force of the elastic support is distributed in the longitudinal direction, so that the hook part 1421 of the locking hook 142 can be pressed on the locking position 1413.

The section of the strip-shaped groove located at the downstream of the locking position 1413 is the guide locking section 1411, and the section of the strip-shaped groove located at the upstream of the locking position 1413 is the guide unlocking section 1412. When the hook 1421 moves in the strip groove, the hook 1421 is pressed against the locking wall all the time under the elastic force of the elastic support, and when the external force acting on the latch seat 141 removes the force that causes the latch seat 141 to move in the locking direction, the hook 1421 is also pressed against the locking wall.

As shown in fig. 1, in one embodiment, there is provided a cutting board sterilizer 10, which includes a body 11, wherein a receiving cavity 111 for receiving a cutting board is formed in the body 11, and the cutting board is received in the receiving cavity 111 during sterilization. The accommodating cavity 111 is provided with a support 12, and when the anvil plate is placed in the accommodating cavity 111, the anvil plate pushes the support 12 in a direction away from the placing port 112 of the accommodating cavity 111. Specifically, the support 12 may be a bottom wall of the accommodating cavity 111, or the support 12 is another part disposed in the accommodating cavity 111. The supporting member 12 can move back and forth in a direction away from the entrance 112 to adjust the size of the accommodating cavity 111. As shown in fig. 1, the support 12 is the bottom wall of the receiving cavity 111, and when the anvil is inserted into the receiving cavity 111, the force of the inserted anvil is just transmitted to the support 12.

Further, as shown in fig. 1, a reset component 13 and a locking component 14, both connected to the support 12, are further disposed on the machine body 11. When the anvil is completely placed in the receiving cavity 111, the locking assembly 14 locks the support 12. When the locking assembly 14 is unlocked, the reset assembly 13 can provide a reset force to the support member 12 to move in a direction close to the input port 112. The entrance 112 is an entrance of the receiving cavity 111 for inserting the cutting board.

The reset component 13 is configured to provide a reset force to the supporting member 12 moving in a direction close to the placing opening 112, and in a use process, when the anvil is pressed and inserted into the accommodating cavity 111, the supporting member 12 overcomes the reset force provided by the reset component 13 to move in a direction away from the placing opening 112 under the effect of the pressing force. After the chopping block is placed in place, the locking component 14 locks the supporting piece 12, so that the supporting piece 12 is kept at the position and cannot move towards the direction close to the placing opening 112 under the action of the resetting component 13, the chopping block is ensured to be completely positioned in the accommodating cavity 111, and the sterilization and disinfection process can be normally carried out.

Treat that the chopping block disinfects when the completion needs to be taken out, unblock locking Assembly 14, do not have under locking Assembly 14's the hindrance, bearing 12 is in under reset subassembly 13's the effect of the power of restoring to the throne, to being close to put into the direction of mouth 112 and remove, simultaneously the chopping block quilt bearing 12 releases put into mouth 112, make the chopping block part stretches out holding chamber 111, convenience of customers effect takes it out, improves the convenience of getting and putting.

Specifically, in one embodiment, as shown in fig. 1-3, the latch assembly 14 includes a latch receptacle 141 and a latch hook 142. The latch seat 141 is connected to the support 12, and the latch hook 142 is connected to the body 11. When the anvil is completely put into the accommodating cavity 111, the locking seat 141 is locked with the locking hook 142. The locking hook 142 connected to the body 11 restricts the movement of the locking seat 141 so that the supporter 12 connected to the locking seat 141 is maintained at this position without moving in a direction close to the input port 112.

When the retainer 141 is locked with the locking hook 142, the retainer 141 is unlocked with the locking hook 142 when the support 12 is again applied with a force in a direction away from the input opening 112. In other words, after the anvil is completely inserted into the accommodating cavity 111 to complete the sterilization and disinfection process, when the anvil needs to be removed, the anvil can be pressed again, so that the supporting member 12 is subjected to a force in a direction away from the placing opening 112, and the locking seat 141 and the locking hook 142 are unlocked. Then, under the action of the reset force of the reset component 13, the latch seat 141 and the support 12 move together in the direction approaching to the placing opening 112, so as to push the anvil out of the receiving cavity 111, thereby facilitating the user to further take out the anvil.

Specifically, when the locking assembly 14 in any of the above embodiments is applied to the anvil disinfection machine 10 in any of the above embodiments, the locking assembly 14 in the anvil disinfection machine 10 is the locking assembly 14 in any of the above embodiments, and the return assembly 13 in the anvil disinfection machine 10 is the elastic supporting member in any of the above embodiments, and the elastic supporting member is connected to the machine body 11 and the support member 12, and is configured to provide the support member 12 with an elastic force moving in a direction away from the locking hook 142. The connecting end of the locking hook 142 is connected to the body 11, and the hooking portion 1421 of the locking hook 142 can move in the guide path. When the latch seat 141 is pressed to contact with the latch hook 142 for the first time, the hook 1421 moves into the locking position 1413 along the guiding and locking section 1411 to be locked with the latch seat 141. When the latch seat 141 is pressed again in a direction away from the opening 112, the hook 1421 moves out of the locking position 1413 along the guide unlocking section 1412 to be unlocked from the latch seat 141. The locking direction in any of the above embodiments is a moving direction of the latch seat 141 when being pressed.

It should be noted that, the first time of being pressed here refers to the pressing action applied to the latch seat 141 when the anvil is inserted into the accommodating cavity 111; the pressing again here means that the user presses the anvil again to act on the locking seat 141 when the anvil needs to be removed. In other words, the first and second times described herein refer to the first and second pressing of the locker block 141 during the first anvil inserting and withdrawing process.

As shown by the path arrows in fig. 2 and 3, during the process of placing the anvil into the accommodating cavity 111, the hook portion 1421 of the latch hook 142 moves in the guiding and locking section 1411 to enter the locking state. When the anvil needs to be removed and the locking seat 141 is pressed again, the hook 1421 moves in the guiding unlocking segment 1412, moves out of the locking position 1413 and is unlocked with the locking seat 141. The guide path is arranged so that the latch hook 142 can move in a predetermined path, ensuring that the latch hook can be locked by first pressing and unlocked by second pressing.

More specifically, in one embodiment, as shown in fig. 2 and 3, when the latch seat 141 is provided with a guide groove therein, the guide groove is provided with a guide protrusion 143 therein; the guide path is formed by arranging the guide protrusion 143 and the wall surface of the guide groove at intervals; the part of the wall surface of the guide groove above the guide projection 143 is a first guide surface 1414, and the side surface of the guide projection 143 facing the first guide surface 1414 is a second guide surface 1431; the first guide surface 1414 and the second guide surface 1431 are both V-shaped with the opening facing upwards, and the locking position 1413 is at the corner of the V-shaped of the second guide surface 1431.

When the latch seat 141 is pressed for the first time to engage with the latch, the latch hook 142 enters the guide gap formed by the first guide surface 1414 and the second guide surface 1431, i.e., the V-shaped gap, and moves to the locking position 1413 along one section of the guide gap. When the force of the user is removed when the anvil is in place, the hook 1421 is retained in the locking position 1413, so that the latch seat 141 is retained in this position. So that the chopping block is kept in the containing cavity 111 for sterilization and disinfection. After the disinfection is completed, the anvil plate is pressed again, the latch seat 141 is pressed again, and at this time, the latch hook 142 continues to move forward along another segment of the guide gap, and exits from the latch position 1413, so that the latch seat 141 and the latch hook 142 are unlocked.

Further, as shown in fig. 3, in one embodiment, when the V-shaped corner of the first guide surface 1414 is offset to a side near the guide locking segment 1411 relative to the V-shaped corner of the second guide surface 1431.

If the latch seat 141 is pressed again, based on the fact that the V-shaped corner of the first guide surface 1414 is offset to the side close to the guide locking section 1411 with respect to the V-shaped corner of the second guide surface 1431, the latch hook 142 can continue to move out of the guide gap along the other section of the guide gap under the limiting guide effect of the first guide surface 1414 instead of moving along the path that the latch hook moved when being pressed for the first time.

Further, as shown in fig. 4, in one embodiment, when the second guide surface 1431 is a saw-tooth surface 1433, the saw cut of the saw-tooth surface 1433 is downward along the second guide surface 1431 in the guide locking segment 1411, and the saw cut of the saw-tooth surface 1433 is upward along the second guide surface 1431 in the guide unlocking segment 1412.

It should be noted that when the hook part 1421 is located between the first guide surface 1414 and the second guide surface 1431, based on the reset force provided by the reset assembly 13 to the supporting member 12, the hook part 1421 is always hooked on the second guide surface 1431, so that the serrated surface 1433 can limit the hook part 1421, and further the latch hook 142 can only move according to the above process. In other words, at the time of the first pressing, the hooking portion 1421 of the latch hook 142 moves to the locking position 1413 along the guiding locking section 1411; when pressed again, the locking hook 142 is restrained in the guiding locking section 1411 from exiting the locking position 1413 along the guiding locking section 1411 and can only move out of the locking position 1413 along the guiding unlocking section 1412 based on the saw cut in the guiding locking section 1411 facing down along the second guiding surface 1431. After the hook part 1421 moves out to the highest point of the second guide surface 1431 along the guide locking segment 1411, based on that the saw cut on the guide unlocking segment 1412 faces upwards along the second guide surface 1431, the hook part 1421 is limited and cannot return to the locking position 1413 along the guide unlocking segment 1412, so that the hook part 1421 is ensured to move only according to the above steps, and the lock hook 142 and the lock catch seat 141 can be normally unlocked.

Further, in an embodiment, as shown in fig. 2 and 3, when the start position is provided in the latch holder 141, the hook portion 1421 of the latch hook 142 is aligned to the start position 1415 when the latch holder 141 is about to contact the latch hook 142. Until the latch seat 141 is pressed for the first time until the anvil is placed in the receiving cavity 111, the hooking portion 1421 of the latch hook 142 moves from the starting position 1415 to the upper left corner of the second guiding surface 1431 from the left side of the guiding protrusion 143 according to the arrow direction shown in fig. 3, and then enters the V-shaped guiding gap under the guiding action of the first guiding surface 1414 and the second guiding surface 1431, and finally reaches the locking position 1413. When the latch seat 141 is pressed again, the hook 1421 moves to the upper right corner of the second guide surface 1431 along the guide gap, and then moves downward from the right side of the guide protrusion 143 to the start position 1415, and exits the latch seat 141, unlocking the latch seat 141 and the latch hook 142.

Further, in one embodiment, as shown in fig. 1, when the latch seat 141 is a plate member disposed along the longitudinal direction. The top surface of the plate member is connected to the support member 12.

When the latch seat 141 moves down with the support member 12 to approach the latch hook 142, the hook portion 1421 of the latch hook 142 is opposite to the initial opening 1416, and as the latch seat 141 moves, the hook portion 1421 gradually enters the guiding locking section 1411 from the initial position 1415 to the locking position 1413. When the latch seat 141 is pressed again, the hooking portion 1421 moves from the locking position 1413 along the guide unlocking section 1412 to the start position 1415.

Further, in one embodiment, the connecting end of the latch hook 142 is rotatably connected to the body 11, so that the latch part 1421 can swing along the V-shape of the second guide surface 1431. So that the hooking portion 1421 can pass through the guide locking segment 1411 from the start position 1415 to the locking position 1413 and then pass through the guide unlocking segment 1412 from the locking position 1413 to the start position 1415 in the guide path according to the aforementioned procedure.

Further, as shown in fig. 1, in one embodiment, the return assembly 13 includes a tension spring 131. The moving direction of the cutting board when the cutting board is placed in the containing cavity 111 is the first direction, and the extension direction of the extension spring 131 is along the first direction. For example, as shown in FIG. 1, the first direction is a longitudinal direction. One end of the extension spring 131 close to the placing-in opening 112 is connected to the machine body 11, and the other end of the extension spring 131 is connected to the supporting member 12. When the anvil is placed in the receiving cavity 111, the anvil pushes the supporting member 12 away from the placing opening 112. So that the tension spring 131 is stretched, and the tension spring 131 can provide a subsequent restoring force to the support 12.

Further, as shown in fig. 1, in one embodiment, the number of the return assemblies 13 is two, and two extension springs 131 are respectively located at two sides of the accommodating cavity 111. The reduction assembly 13 further includes an intermediate support member 132, and the intermediate support member 132 includes a position-limiting portion 1322 disposed along the first direction and a connecting portion 1321 disposed along the second direction. The second direction and the first direction form an included angle. The connecting portion 1321 is connected between the extension spring 131 and the limiting portion 1322, the limiting portion 1322 is connected to the supporting member 12, and the two limiting portions 1322 can be clamped on two sides of the cutting board respectively.

When the supporting member 12 is the bottom wall of the accommodating cavity 111, as shown in fig. 1, the two limiting portions 1322 and the supporting member 12 form a groove for placing the cutting board.

The extension springs 131 located at two sides of the accommodating cavity 111 provide bilateral symmetry acting force for the supporting member 12, so that the taking and placing process is smoother.

Further, as shown in fig. 1, in an embodiment, a micro switch 15 is further disposed in the machine body 11, and when the cutting board is completely placed in the accommodating cavity 111, the micro switch 15 is triggered. Indicating that the chopping block is placed in place, and then the sterilization and disinfection process can be carried out. When the chopping board is not placed in place, the microswitch 15 is not triggered, the chopping board disinfection machine 10 is powered off, and the disinfection process cannot be carried out, so that the installation performance in use is improved.

Specifically, when the support 12 is the bottom wall of the receiving cavity 111 and is connected to the position-limiting portion 1322, as shown in fig. 1, the micro switch 15 can be triggered by contacting with a corner where the support 12 and the position-limiting portion 1322 are connected.
