Abstract: A liquid storage tank includes a housing, a piston located in the housing, a cover, an elastic element, and an outlet pipe. The cover is attached to the housing and has a support post extending toward the piston. The piston, the housing, and the cover define a tank chamber. The tank chamber is filled with cooling liquid. The elastic element is connected with the tank hosing and the piston. The elastic element is free from contact with the cooling liquid. The outlet pipe communicates with the tank chamber. An extension direction of an opening of the outlet pipe is not parallel to a direction of movement of the elastic element. When the cooling liquid is decreased, the piston compressed the tank chamber such that the elastic element is released. The tank chamber is continuously compressed by pairing the elastic element and the piston.

Abstract: A sandwich maker includes a base, a first hot-pressing module, a connecting rod set, a second hot-pressing module, a driving motor, and a control module. The first hot-pressing module is assembled to the base. The connecting rod set is pivotally disposed on the base and pivots between a standby position and a heating position. The second hot-pressing module is assembled to the connecting rod set, and is moved between the standby position and the heating position driven by the connecting rod set. At the standby position, the second hot-pressing module is far away from the first hot-pressing module. At the heating position, the second hot-pressing module correspondingly covers the first hot-pressing module. The driving motor is connected to and drives the connecting rod set. The control module is electrically connected to and controls the first hot-pressing module, the second hot-pressing module, and the driving motor.

Abstract: A sandwich maker includes a body, a tray, and a hot-pressing mechanism. The body has an inlet, where the tray may enter or exit the body through the inlet. The hot-pressing mechanism includes a hot-pressing upper mold and a hot-pressing lower mold, and the hot-pressing upper mold and the hot-pressing lower mold may be relatively closed toward a side of the tray or reset toward an opposite direction. The sandwich maker further includes a first driving mechanism and a material receiving structure. Ingredients of a sandwich are placed on the tray, the tray can enter or exit the body, and a mold is relatively closed by driving the hot-pressing mechanism through the first driving mechanism to perform automatic two-sided hot pressing on the ingredients of the sandwich, so that both sides of the ingredients of sandwich are heated evenly.
