Grill Moving Mechanism for Oven
A grill moving mechanism for an oven is provided. The grill moving mechanism is disposed on an inner side of the oven for grilling various foods to enable a grill to be moved outward or inward synchronously with a door being pulled outward or shut, such that food can be put into or taken from the oven conveniently.
1. Technical Field
The present invention provides a grill moving mechanism for an oven. The grill moving mechanism is disposed on an inner side of the oven for grilling various foods to enable a grill to be moved outward or inward synchronously with a door being pulled outward or shut, such that food can be put into or taken from the oven conveniently.
2. Description of Related Art
Ovens developed by the industrial sector for grilling various foods come in a wide variety of forms. Basically, a conventional oven comprises: an inner casing provided at upper and lower ends thereof with pipe radiators, respectively; an outer casing enclosing and being spaced apart from the inner casing; a back panel; and a door pivotally coupled to the front opening of the inner casing and adapted to open by a preset angle. A plurality of guiding grooves are disposed at left and right sides of the inner casing and spaced apart from each other, and are of a predetermined height. A grill can be pushed inward along the guiding grooves of the oven and then smoothly pushed inward or pulled outward. To grill food with the oven, a user puts the food to be grilled on the grill, pushes the grill into the oven, and shuts the door, such that the food inside the oven is evenly grilled at a preset temperature by the pipe radiators in operation.
However, the conventional oven does not manifest ease of use, because the operation of the conventional oven entails opening the door, pulling the grill out of the oven, putting food to be grilled on the grill, pushing the grill into the oven, and shutting the door. It is inconvenient for users to pull/push the grill and open/shut the door.
BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE INVENTIONThe present invention is intended to overcome the lack of ease-of-use of a conventional oven for grilling various foods, that is, the operation of the conventional oven requires that a grill of the oven has to be pushed inward or pulled outward by hand. To overcome the aforesaid drawback of the conventional oven, the present invention provides a grill moving mechanism disposed on an inner side of the oven to enable the grill to be moved outward or inward synchronously with the door, such that food can be put into or taken from the oven conveniently.
It is a primary objective of the present invention to provide a grill moving mechanism for an oven, applicable to the oven for grilling various foods and essentially comprising an inner casing provided at upper and lower ends thereof with pipe radiators, respectively, a plurality of guiding grooves disposed at left and right sides of the inner casing, spaced apart from each other, and being of a predetermined height, an outer casing enclosing and being spaced apart from the inner casing, a back panel, and a door pivotally coupled to a front opening of the inner casing and adapted to open by a preset angle, the grill moving mechanism being disposed at an external side of the inner casing and comprising a link, a controlling shaft pivotally connected to a rear end of the link, and a push rod, wherein the grill moving mechanism being characterized in that: a groove is disposed at a rear portion of one side of the inner casing; the controlling shaft is pivotally connected to a rear end of the link, penetrates the groove, and is fixed to a lower end of the push rod by an angle; a front end of the link is penetrated by a shaft lever and coupled to a rear end of a deflecting bar by an angle, such that the link and the deflecting bar are pivotally connected to each other; and a front end of the deflecting bar is pivotally coupled to a support of the door by a preset angle, wherein operation of the grill moving mechanism disposed on one side of the inner casing of the oven entails inserting a rear end of a grill pushed inward along two of the guiding grooves of the oven into spaces formed on the push rod to, such that operation of the deflecting bar and the link enables the grill to be moved outward synchronously with the door being pulled outward, and the grill is pushed inward synchronously with the door being shut, thereby allowing food to be put into or taken from the oven conveniently.
Another objective of the present invention is to provide the grill moving mechanism for an oven, wherein at least two said spaces tilting downward and spaced apart from each other are concavely formed on a front side of the push rod coupled to the rear end of the link by an angle, such that the rear end of the grill pushed inward along two of the guiding grooves of the oven is angularly inserted into the spaces formed on the push rod to maintain a definite angle between the grill and a rear end of the grill moving mechanism and thereby effectuate control thereof
Yet another objective of the present invention is to provide the grill moving mechanism for an oven, wherein, once the deflecting bar coupled to the front end of the link by an angle is pushed inward to the greatest extent, a rest protrudingly disposed at a preset position of the inner casing will abut against the deflecting bar and thereby provide an angular anchor for the deflecting bar pushed inward.
