A handle 80 is provided on the positioning member 40, and a user can manually control the latch 41 to move between the release position and the positioning position through the handle 80. In this way, it is ensured that the first heat generating element 20 is positioned even when the drive element 50 is not operating properly. Wherein, handle 80 can be with setting element 40 integrated into one piece, fixed connection or detachably connected, for example, handle 80 and setting element 40 detachable connection, wherein, handle 80 and setting element 40 can threaded connection, specifically the lower extreme of handle 80 has the external screw thread, have the screw hole on the setting element 40, the periphery of screw hole has the internal thread with external screw thread looks adaptation, the lower extreme screw precession screw hole of handle 80, handle 80 is connected with the setting element 40 through external screw thread and internal thread cooperation.

In some embodiments, as shown in fig. 6, the driving member 50 includes a transmission portion 51, a driving portion 52, and a reset member.

The driving portion 52 is used for providing power, the transmission portion 51 is used for transmitting the power to the positioning member 40, and the reset member is used for resetting the positioning member 40.

Specifically, as shown in fig. 6, 8 and 9, a plurality of first convex teeth 511 are arranged on the transmission part 51 at intervals along the circumferential direction, and the driving part 52 is connected with the transmission part 51 to drive the transmission part 51 to rotate. Wherein the first convex tooth 511 is adapted to push the positioning member 40 to move to the release position.

It can be understood that the driving portion 52 drives the transmission portion 51 to rotate, the transmission portion 51 has a plurality of first convex teeth 511 arranged at intervals along the circumference thereof, the positioning member 40 is pushed when the first convex teeth 511 contact the positioning member 40 intermittently during the rotation of the transmission portion 51, and the positioning member 40 is located at the limit position of the release position when the vertex of the first convex teeth 511 contact the positioning member 40. When the first convex tooth 511 is not in contact with the positioning member 40, the positioning member 40 is released, so that the transmission part 51 rotates one circle, and the height of the first heating member 20 can be adjusted multiple times.

Wherein the reset member generally has a force that drives the positioning member 40 to move to the positioning position. When the positioning member 40 moves from the release position to the positioning position, the reset member releases energy and returns to the initial state, the reset member drives the positioning member 40 to move from the release position to the positioning position, the automatic reset of the positioning member 40 can be realized, and the reset can be completed without driving of the driving member 50. That is, the reset member has an acting force that normally drives the bayonet 41 to be inserted into the bayonet 311, and the positioning member 40 automatically positions the first heating member 20 after the height of the first heating member 20 is adjusted, thereby saving the operation steps of the operator.

In some embodiments, as shown in fig. 6 and 8, the drive member 50 further includes a mating portion 54. The engaging portion 54 is fixed to the positioning member 40, the engaging portion 54 is provided with a protrusion 541 protruding toward the connecting member 30, the protrusion 541 is connected to the plurality of first teeth 511, and the protrusion 541 selectively abuts against or is fitted between two of the first teeth 511 connected to the first teeth 511 when the transmission portion 51 rotates. When the first convex tooth 511 abuts against the convex portion 541, the first convex tooth 511 pushes the matching portion 54 having the convex portion 541 to move outward, and the positioning element 40 fixedly connected to the matching portion 54 is driven by the matching portion 54 to move outward similarly. When the protruding portion 541 is inserted between two adjacent first teeth 511, the protruding portion 541 is no longer pushed by the first teeth 511, and the positioning element 40 moves inward under the action of the reset element.

That is, when the convex portion 541 comes into contact with the first tooth 511 until the vertex of the convex portion 541 comes into contact with the vertex of the first tooth 511, the positioning member 40 moves from the positioning position to the limit position of the release position; in the process that the vertex of the projection 541 contacts the vertex of the first tooth 511 until the projection 541 is separated from the first tooth 511, the positioning member 40 moves from the limit position of the release position in a direction to approach the link 30. When the protrusion 541 is inserted between two first teeth 511, the positioning element 40 is inserted into the slot 311 under the action of the reset element to position the first heat-generating element 20.

In some embodiments, the transmission part 51 further includes second teeth 512 spaced along the circumferential direction, the switch 60 is disposed on the body 10 opposite to the second teeth 512, and the second teeth 512 are adapted to switch between positions for releasing and triggering the switch 60 when the transmission part 51 is rotated. When the second convex tooth 512 triggers the switch 60, one signal (for example, a 1 signal) is transmitted to the switch 60, and when the second convex tooth 512 releases the switch 60, another signal (for example, a 0 signal) is transmitted to the switch 60, the switch 60 can record and upload different signals to the central processing system, and the central processing system can judge the position of the positioning member 40 according to the type of the signals, the duration of the signals, and the like, so that the position of the positioning member 40 can be automatically adjusted.

Preferably, as shown in fig. 6, 9, 10, 11, and 12, the first teeth 511 and the second teeth 512 are staggered in the axial direction of the transmission part 51.

Further, the gap between the first tooth 511 and the adjacent two second teeth 512 is opposite in the axial direction of the transmission portion 51. Thus, the switch 60 can be easily installed, and the structure can be made compact.

When the driving member 50 rotates, the first convex teeth 511 will be driven to rotate, the upper layer of the first convex teeth 511 will drive the bayonet lock 41 and the matching part 54 to move through the change of the contact position with the matching part 54, when the upper layer of the convex part of the first convex teeth 511 rotates to abut against the matching part 54, the bayonet lock 41 will move outwards, and the first heating element 20 will drop to the bottom, this process is called setting. The guide member 42 is provided with a return spring 53 therein, when the latch 41 and the mating portion 54 move outward, the return spring 53 is compressed to generate an inward pushing force on the latch 41 and the mating portion 54, and when the upper layer of the first teeth 511 rotates to a position dislocated from the mating portion 54, the latch 41 moves inward to latch the latch slot 311, which is called a homing process. The handle is used for providing manual movement, and when the upper layer of the first convex teeth 511 is dislocated with the matching part 54, the bayonet 41 can be driven to move inwards and outwards by manually moving the handle. Meanwhile, for preventing the central processing system from being incapable of judging the current state (setting and returning) of the connecting piece 30, the position of the upper layer cam and the position of the lower layer cam are staggered at a certain angle, so that the upper layer cam can drive the lower layer cam to rotate together when rotating, and the lower layer cam extrudes with the salient point 61 of the microswitch 60 fixed on the cam bracket in the rotating process to generate an electric signal, so that the descending system judges the position of the transmission mechanism.

Advantageously, as shown in fig. 16, the lower surface of the catching groove 311 is inclined downward toward the outlet direction and forms an angle of 30 ° to 80 ° with the horizontal plane. Thus, the lower surface of the slot 311 can play a guiding role, and the positioning member 40 can be conveniently inserted into the slot 311. The lower surface of the clamping groove 311 is inclined downward toward the outlet direction and forms an angle of 30 °, 40 °, 50 °, 70 ° or 80 ° with the horizontal plane, and preferably, the lower surface of the clamping groove 311 is inclined downward toward the outlet direction and forms an angle of 45 ° to 75 ° with the horizontal plane.

Preferably, the first convex tooth 511 and the second convex tooth 512 are engaged with each other. Of course, the first teeth 511 and the second teeth 512 may be integrally formed, screwed or glued, riveted, etc.

The engaging groove 311 is a rectangular structure embedded in the connecting member 30, and the engaging groove 311 allows the connecting member 30 to move in a single direction (upward). The depth of the uppermost edge of the locking slot 311 needs to be greater than the average depth of the locking slot 311 to ensure that the connecting member 30 is locked when the locking pin 41 is moved to the outside by the maximum distance. The connector 30 can move upward through the locking slot 311, and the downward movement is stopped by the locking slot 311. Therefore, the manual function of the conventional heating plate can ensure the free movement of the heating plate system by manually moving the handle and under the tension of the return spring 53 in the guide member 42.
