Heating apparatus with sliding mechanism

Abstract

A heating apparatus ( 20 ) comprises a box ( 22 ), a door ( 23 ) and sliding mechanism ( 21 ). The door is slidably mounted on the box. The sliding mechanism includes a static member ( 25 ), a sliding member ( 24 ) and at least a resilient member ( 26 ). The sliding member is slidably mounted on the static member. The static member is mounted on the box, and the sliding member is mounted on the door. One end of the resilient member is fixed to the sliding member, and another end of the resilient member is fixed to the static member. When the door is sliding on the box, the resilient member drives the door.

1 . A heating apparatus, comprising:
 a box;   a door slidably mounted on the box; and   a sliding mechanism, the sliding mechanism including a static member, a sliding member slidably mounted on the static member and at least a resilient member; the static member being mounted on the box, the sliding member being mounted on the door; one end of the resilient member being fixed to the sliding member, another end of the resilient member being fixed to the static member; wherein the resilient member drives the door, when the door slides on the box.   
   
   
       2 . The heating apparatus as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the static member is a rectangular board defining two sliding grooves therein and the sliding member is a rectangular board forming two sliding rails in its two opposite ends, the two sliding rails respectively engaging with the two sliding grooves. 
   
   
       3 . The heating apparatus as claimed in  claim 2 , wherein the box defines a first mounting recess corresponding to the static member, and the static member is received in the first mounting recess. 
   
   
       4 . The heating apparatus as claimed in  claim 2 , wherein the door defines a second mounting recess corresponding to the sliding member, and the sliding member is received in the second mounting recess. 
   
   
       5 . The heating apparatus as claimed in  claim 4 , wherein a plurality of retaining portions are formed on a surface of the door, each retaining portion extending to a corner of the second mounting recess. 
   
   
       6 . The heating apparatus as claimed in  claim 5 , wherein the static member defines a plurality of gaps corresponding to the retaining portions therein. 
   
   
       7 . The heating apparatus as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein at least one first mounting protrusion is formed on the sliding member, at least one second mounting protrusion being formed on the static member, and two ends of the resilient member being respectively mounted on the at least one first mounting protrusion and the at least one second mounting protrusion. 
   
   
       8 . A heating apparatus, comprising:
 a box including an opening wall, a top wall perpendicular to the opening wall and a bottom wall parallel to the top wall;   a door mounted on the box and sliding parallel to the opening wall; and   a sliding mechanism connecting the door to the box and including at least one resilient member; wherein the resilient member drives the door when the door slides on the box.   
   
   
       9 . The heating apparatus as claimed in  claim 8 , wherein the sliding mechanism includes a static member and a sliding member slidably mounted on the static member. 
   
   
       10 . The heating apparatus as claimed in  claim 9 , wherein the static member is mounted on the box, and the sliding member is mounted on the door. 
   
   
       11 . The heating apparatus as claimed in  claim 9 , wherein one end of the resilient member is mounted on the sliding member, and another end of the resilient member is mounted on the static member; 
   
   
       12 . The heating apparatus as claimed in  claim 9 , wherein the static member is a rectangular board defining two sliding grooves therein and the sliding member is a rectangular board forming two sliding rails in its two opposite ends, the two sliding rails respectively engaging with the two sliding grooves. 
   
   
       13 . The heating apparatus as claimed in  claim 12 , wherein the box defines a first mounting recess corresponding to the static member, and the static member is received in the first mounting recess. 
   
   
       14 . The heating apparatus as claimed in  claim 12 , wherein the door defines a second mounting recess corresponding to the sliding member, and the sliding member is received in the second mounting recess. 
   
   
       15 . The heating apparatus as claimed in  claim 14 , wherein a plurality of retaining portions are formed on a surface of the door, each retaining portion extending to a corner of the second mounting recess. 
   
   
       16 . The heating apparatus as claimed in  claim 15 , wherein the static member defines a plurality of gaps corresponding to the retaining portions therein. 
   
   
       17 . The heating apparatus as claimed in  claim 9 , wherein at least one first mounting protrusion is formed on sliding member and at least one second mounting protrusion is formed on the static member, two ends of the resilient member being respectively mounted on the at least one first mounting protrusion and the at least one second mounting protrusion.
