[0054] Exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure will now be described in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. While exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure are shown in the drawings, it should be understood that the present disclosure may be implemented in various forms and should not be limited to the embodiments set forth herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided so that this disclosure will be thorough and complete, and will fully convey the scope of the disclosure to those skilled in the art.

[0055] It should be understood that the terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular exemplary embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting. Unless the context clearly indicates otherwise, the singular forms “a,” “an,” and “described” as used herein may also include the plural forms. The terms “comprising,” “including,” “containing,” and “having” are inclusive and therefore indicate the presence of the stated features, steps, operations, elements, and / or components, but do not exclude the presence or addition of one or more other features, steps, operations, elements, components, and / or combinations thereof. The method steps, processes, and operations described herein are not construed as requiring them to be performed in a particular order described or illustrated unless the order of performance is explicitly indicated. It should also be understood that additional or alternative steps may be used.

[0056] Although terms such as first, second, third, etc., may be used in this document to describe multiple elements, components, regions, layers, and / or segments, these elements, components, regions, layers, and / or segments should not be limited by these terms. These terms may be used only to distinguish one element, component, region, layer, or segment from another. Unless the context clearly indicates otherwise, terms such as "first," "second," and other numerical terms used herein do not imply order or sequence. Therefore, the first element, component, region, layer, or segment discussed below may be referred to as the second element, component, region, layer, or segment without departing from the teachings of the exemplary embodiments.

[0057] For ease of description, spatial relative terms may be used in the text to describe the relationship of one element or feature relative to another element or feature, as shown in the figure. These relative terms include, for example, "inside," "outside," "middle," "outer," "below," "below," "above," "over," etc. Such spatial relative terms are intended to include different orientations of the device in use or operation, other than those depicted in the figure. For example, if the device in the figure is flipped, an element described as "below other elements or features" or "below other elements or features" would subsequently be oriented as "above other elements or features" or "above other elements or features." Therefore, the example term "below" can include both upper and lower orientations. The device may be otherwise oriented (rotated 90 degrees or in other directions), and the spatial relative descriptors used in the text will be interpreted accordingly.

[0058] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, according to an embodiment of the present invention, a cooking device 100 is provided. The cooking device 100 includes an inner cavity 10, a first assembly module 20, a second assembly module 30, and a third assembly module 40. The inner cavity 10 is provided with a cooking chamber 11. The first assembly module 20 is disposed at the top of the inner cavity 10 and is used for exhausting and illuminating the cooking chamber 11. The second assembly module 30 is disposed at the side of the inner cavity 10 and is provided with a heat dissipation duct. The second assembly module 30 is used for heating the cooking chamber 11. The third assembly module 40 is disposed at the rear of the inner cavity 10 and is provided with an oil fume duct 47 communicating with the heat dissipation duct. The third assembly module 40 is used for sucking up the oil fumes below the cooking device 100.

[0059] Specifically, when assembling the cooking device 100, the first assembly module 20 is installed on the top of the inner cavity 10, the second assembly module 30 is installed on the side of the inner cavity 10, and the third assembly module is installed on the rear of the inner cavity 10. This allows the cooking device 100 to be assembled. By modularizing the components of the cooking device 100, the assembly speed of the cooking device 100 is improved, and the overall assembly efficiency is increased. In addition, the input of manpower and equipment is reduced, thereby reducing the production cost.

[0060] It should be understood that the inner cavity 10, the first assembly module 20, the second assembly module 30, and the third assembly module 40 are the main components of the cooking device 100. In addition, the cooking device 100 also includes other components or assembly modules, such as the door assembly 60 and the control panel 70. These other components or assembly modules are also assembled simultaneously during cooking. That is, by modularizing the main components, manpower and equipment are saved to a certain extent, the assembly efficiency is improved, and the manufacturing cost of the cooking device 100 is reduced.

[0061] It should be noted that in this invention, the cooking device 100 is installed above the stove. The cooking device 100 is provided with a pick-up and put-out port, which communicates with the cooking cavity 11 of the inner cavity 10. After the cooking device 100 is installed, when the user faces the pick-up and put-out port, the side of the inner cavity 10 closer to the user is the front part of the inner cavity 10, the side of the inner cavity 10 away from the user is the rear part of the inner cavity 10, the side of the inner cavity 10 on the user's left hand is the left side part, and the side of the inner cavity 10 on the user's right hand is the right side part. The left side part and the right side part are collectively referred to as the side part of the inner cavity 10. The side of the inner cavity 10 away from the stove is the top part of the inner cavity 10, and the side of the inner cavity 10 closer to the stove is the bottom part of the inner cavity 10. The distance from the left side part to the right side part of the cooking device 100 is the length of the cooking device 100, the distance from the top part to the bottom part of the cooking device 100 is the height of the cooking device 100, and the distance from the front part to the rear part of the cooking device 100 is the width of the cooking device 100.

[0062] In addition, the first assembly module 20 is located at the top of the inner cavity 10 and communicates with the cooking cavity 11. When food is cooked in the cooking cavity 11, water vapor and / or oil fumes are generated. The generated water vapor and / or oil fumes are discharged from the cooking cavity 11 through the first assembly module 20 to ensure that the cooking cavity 11 is in a good cooking environment, thus ensuring the cooking quality of the food. The second assembly module 30 is located on the side of the inner cavity 10 and is used to heat the cooking cavity 11. By setting the second assembly module 30 on the side of the inner cavity 10 (it can be set on the left side or the right side), the second assembly module 30 avoids occupying the top space of the inner cavity 10, so that the volume of the cooking cavity 11 can be effectively increased, thereby improving the food processing capacity of the cooking device 100. The third assembly module 40 is located at the rear of the inner cavity 10, which also avoids occupying the top space of the inner cavity 10, so as to ensure that the cooking cavity 11 has a large volume, thus effectively improving the food processing capacity.

[0063] Furthermore, once the cooking device 100 is assembled, the heat dissipation duct of the second assembly module 30 is connected to the oil fume duct 47 of the third assembly module 40. This means that the air that has undergone heat exchange in the heat dissipation duct can enter the oil fume duct 47 and be discharged with the oil fume duct 47, thereby improving the heat dissipation effect of the heat dissipation duct and enabling the cooking device 100 to work stably and efficiently.

[0064] To understand this further, such as Figures 2 to 5 As shown, the first assembly module 20 includes an exhaust hood 21 and a lighting component 22. The exhaust hood 21 is correspondingly arranged with the exhaust port 13 of the inner cavity 10. The lighting component 22 includes a lampshade 221 and a lighting element 222. The lighting element 222 is disposed inside the lampshade 221. The lampshade 221 cooperates with the exhaust hood 21 and is correspondingly arranged with the lighting port 14 of the inner cavity 10. Specifically, the inner cavity 10 is provided with an exhaust port 13 and a lighting port 14 at intervals. When the first assembly module 20 is installed on the top of the inner cavity 10, the air guide hood of the first assembly module 20 is correspondingly arranged with the exhaust port 13, thereby realizing the communication between the cooking cavity 11 and the outside world through the exhaust port 13, the exhaust hood 21, and the exhaust vent 211 on the exhaust hood 21. The lighting element 222 of the first assembly module 20 is correspondingly arranged with the lighting port 14 so that the light emitted by the lighting element 222 can enter the cooking cavity 11 through the lighting port 14. By integrating the lighting component 222 and the air guide cover into the first assembly module 20, multiple components can be installed simultaneously when the first module is engaged with the top of the inner cavity 10, thereby effectively improving assembly efficiency, reducing the use of manpower and equipment, and effectively reducing production costs.

[0065] It should be understood that the exhaust hood 21 and the lighting element 222 are both flat structures, that is, the dimensions of both along the height direction of the cooking device 100 are small. When the exhaust hood 21 and the lighting element 222 are installed on the top of the inner cavity 10, the space occupied on the top of the inner cavity 10 can be reduced, so that the volume of the cooking cavity 11 is effectively guaranteed.

[0066] In addition, the lighting element 222 is placed inside the lamp cover 221, thereby limiting the light from the lighting element 222 to inside the lamp cover 221, thus ensuring sufficient light for the lighting element 222 to enter the cooking cavity 11.

[0067] In addition, the exhaust hole 13 of the inner cavity 10 is a mesh hole. By setting the exhaust hole 13 as a mesh hole, it is possible to prevent foreign objects from entering the cooking cavity 11 and to prevent foreign objects from having an adverse effect on the cooking cavity 11.

[0068] It should be noted that the top of the first assembly module 20 and the inner cavity 10 can be connected and fixed by riveting, bonding, welding or screw connection. In this invention, the two are connected and fixed by screws. The screw connection method is simple in structure and easy to assemble. When maintenance or replacement is required, it can effectively improve the convenience of disassembly.

[0069] In addition, the first assembly module 20 also includes a humidity sensor 23, which is installed on the exhaust hood 21 and is used to detect the humidity of the exhaust port 13 of the inner cavity 10. The detected humidity data is used to provide a basis for the operation of the cooking module of the cooking device 100.

[0070] In some embodiments, the lampshade 221 and the exhaust hood 21 are separate structures, which are connected and fixed by adhesive, riveting or screws. Before the cooking device 100 is assembled, the lampshade 221 and the exhaust hood 21 are pre-assembled, and the lighting element 222 is installed in the lampshade 221. When the cooking device 100 is assembled, the first assembly module 20 is assembled as a whole structure.

[0071] In some embodiments, the lampshade 221 and the exhaust hood 21 are integral structures, manufactured by one-time molding. Before the cooking device 100 is assembled, the lighting element 222 is installed inside the lampshade 221. When the cooking device 100 is assembled, the first assembly module 20 is assembled as an integral structure.

[0072] Furthermore, such as Figure 3As shown, the lighting element 222 includes a lamp panel and light-emitting elements. The light-emitting elements are disposed on the lamp panel, and the lamp panel cooperates with the lamp cover 221. Specifically, there are multiple light-emitting elements, which are evenly distributed on the lamp panel. The shape of the lamp panel is consistent with the shape of the lighting hole 14. When it is necessary to illuminate the inside of the cooking cavity 11, the multiple light-emitting elements are powered on and lit, and the emitted light enters the cooking cavity 11, thereby providing sufficient light for the cooking cavity 11 to meet the cooking needs.

[0073] It should be noted that in this invention, the lighting hole 14 is a rectangular structure, and the lighting hole 14 includes a mesh structure with multiple holes. The shape of the lamp plate is also a rectangular structure. The light-emitting body is evenly distributed on the rectangular lamp plate, thereby ensuring the uniformity of the light entering the cooking cavity 11 and ensuring sufficient lighting conditions in the cooking cavity 11.

[0074] In addition, the light source is an LED light, which has excellent luminous effect, good stability, and long service life, effectively reducing the cost of maintenance and replacement.

[0075] Furthermore, such as Figures 2 to 5 As shown, the second assembly module 30 includes a partition assembly 31, a first power device group 33, and a first suction component 34. The partition assembly 31 is disposed on the side of the inner cavity 10 and forms a first electrical chamber 32 on the side of the inner cavity 10 that communicates with the heat dissipation duct. The first power device group 33 is disposed in the first electrical chamber 32 and is used to heat the cooking cavity 11. The first suction component 34 is disposed in the first electrical chamber 32 and is used to drive air to flow in the heat dissipation duct. Specifically, when the second assembly module 30 is installed on the side of the inner cavity 10, the partition assembly 31 divides the space on the side of the inner cavity 10 into a first electrical chamber 32. The first power device group 33 is installed in the first electrical chamber 32, and the heat dissipation duct passes through the first electrical chamber 32. When it is necessary to heat the food in the cooking cavity 11, the first power device group 33 is activated to heat the inside of the cooking cavity 11. At the same time, the first suction component 34 is activated, so that air flows in the heat dissipation duct and enters the first electrical chamber 32. The flowing air exchanges heat with the first power device group 33 to achieve the purpose of cooling the first power device group 33, so that the first power device group 33 is maintained below a safe temperature, thereby avoiding the adverse effects of high temperature on the first power device group 33 and reducing the failure rate of the cooking device 100.

[0076] It should be understood that the heat dissipation duct is formed by the partition assembly 31, and the first electrical chamber 32 is also part of the heat dissipation duct. Under the action of the first air intake 34, the air flows in the heat dissipation duct to dissipate heat from the first power device group 33.

[0077] It should be noted that the first air intake component 34 is a fan. The fan is installed in the first electrical room 32. The fan is used to draw air into the heat dissipation duct, so that the air flows in the heat dissipation duct. The fan has a simple structure and occupies little installation space, which effectively saves installation space.

[0078] In this invention, the first power device group 33 is a microwave generating assembly, including components such as a magnetron, a waveguide, and a transformer. The magnetron is connected to the cooking cavity 11 through the waveguide, and the microwaves generated by the magnetron enter the cooking cavity 11 to heat the food. The magnetron, waveguide, and transformer can be fixed to the partition assembly 31 or to the outer surface of the side of the inner cavity 10. To ensure the installation strength of the magnetron, waveguide, and transformer, in this invention, the magnetron, waveguide, and transformer are all connected and fixed to the outer surface of the side of the inner cavity 10. The first electrical chamber 32 formed by the partition assembly 31 surrounds the magnetron, waveguide, and transformer.

[0079] In some other embodiments, the first power device group 33 is a hot air assembly, which includes components such as a heating element, a heating element cover, and a fan. The outer surface of the side of the inner cavity 10 is provided with hot air holes and cold air holes. The heating element cover is disposed on the outer surface of the side of the inner cavity 10 and forms a hot air cavity with it. The hot air cavity is connected to the cooking cavity 11 through the hot air holes and the cold air holes respectively. The heating element and the fan are disposed in the hot air cavity. The fan is used to draw cold air in the cooking cavity 11 into the hot air cavity through the cold air hole. The heating element heats the cold air and then sends it into the cooking cavity 11 through the hot air hole. The food is cooked by circulating and heating the air.

[0080] Furthermore, such as Figures 2 to 5 As shown, the partition assembly 31 includes a first partition 311 and a second partition 312. The first partition 311 is arranged along the width direction of the cooking device 100 and has a first through hole 3111. The second partition 312 is connected to the first partition 311. The second partition 312, the first partition 311, and the inner cavity 10 constitute a first electrical chamber 32, which communicates with the outside through the first through hole 3111. Specifically, the first partition 311 is arranged on the side of the inner cavity 10 and extends along the width direction of the cooking device 100. The second partition 312 is arranged on the side of the inner cavity 10 and extends along the height direction of the cooking device 100. The second partition 312 is perpendicularly connected to the first partition 311. The first electrical chamber 32, formed by the second partition 312, the first partition 311, and the side of the inner cavity 10, has a simple overall structure and low manufacturing cost.

[0081] It should be noted that the first partition 311 and the second partition 312 are connected and fixed by riveting, welding or screws, thereby ensuring the connection strength and stability between the two.

[0082] In this invention, the partition assembly 31 is connected and fixed to the outer surface of the side of the inner cavity 10 by screw connection, thereby ensuring the connection strength and stability of the partition assembly 31. In addition, when it is necessary to disassemble the partition assembly 31, the screws can be loosened, which effectively improves the convenience of the disassembly process.

[0083] In other embodiments, the partition assembly 31 is connected and fixed to the outer surface of the inner cavity 10 by welding, which further improves the connection strength and thus improves the overall strength of the cooking device 100.

[0084] Furthermore, such as Figures 2 to 5 As shown, the third assembly module 40 includes a shelf assembly 41, a second power device group 42, and a second suction member 43. The shelf assembly 41 is located at the rear of the cooking cavity 11. The shelf assembly 41 is located at the rear of the inner cavity 10 and forms a first air duct section 471 that is interconnected with a second electrical chamber 44 and an oil fume duct 47. The second electrical chamber 44 is connected to the first electrical chamber 32 through a second through hole 3121 of the second partition 312. The first air duct section 471 is connected to the first electrical chamber 32 through a third through hole 3122 on the second partition 312. The second power device group 42 is located in the second electrical chamber 44 and is used to heat the cooking cavity 11. The second suction member 43 is located in the first air duct section 471 and is used to draw the oil fumes below the cooking device 100 to the first air duct section 471. Specifically, when the third assembly module 40 is located at the rear of the inner cavity 10, the shelf assembly 41 divides the space at the rear of the inner cavity 10, so that the rear of the inner cavity 10 forms a second electrical chamber 44 and a first air duct section 471 that are interconnected. The first air duct section 471 is part of the structure of the fume duct 47. The first electrical chamber 32 is connected to the second electrical chamber 44 and the first air duct section 471 respectively. The second power device group 42 is located in the second electrical chamber 44, and the second suction component 43 is located in the first air duct section 471. When it is necessary to extract fumes from the stove below the cooking device 100, the second suction component 43 is activated. Under the action of the second suction component 43, the fumes enter the first air duct section 471 and enter the exhaust duct along the fume duct 47. At the same time, the air in the first electrical chamber 32 and the air in the second electrical chamber 44 can enter the first air duct section 471 and be discharged with the fumes. By connecting the heat dissipation duct to the fume duct 47, the airflow speed inside the heat dissipation duct can be effectively increased, thereby improving the heat dissipation effect of the heat dissipation duct.

[0085] It should be noted that the first electrical chamber 32 is located on the side of the inner cavity 10. The first partition 311 and the second partition 312 are both flat pieces. The first partition 311 and the second partition 312 are arranged vertically. The opening direction of the second through hole 3121 and the third through hole 3122 is the same. The opening direction of the first through hole 3111 is perpendicular to the opening direction of the second through hole 3121 and the opening direction of the third through hole 3122, respectively. When air enters the first electrical chamber 32 through the first through hole 3111, it flows towards the second partition 312 under the action of the first suction member 34. The second through hole 3121 and the third through hole 3122 are set on the second partition 312. When the air reaches the second partition 312, it can directly enter the second electrical chamber 44 through the second through hole 3121 and directly enter the fume duct 47 through the third through hole 3122. This reduces the impact of the second partition 312 on the air, improves the smoothness of the airflow, and also reduces the wind noise during the airflow process.

[0086] In addition, the first through hole 3111 is located away from the second partition 312, which increases the air path in the first electrical chamber 32, allowing each power device of the first power device group 33 located in the first electrical chamber 32 to dissipate heat fully, thereby ensuring the stable and efficient operation of the first power device group 33.

[0087] Furthermore, the second through-hole 3121 is a first mesh structure, and the third through-hole 3122 is a second mesh structure. By setting the second through-hole 3121 as a first mesh and the third through-hole 3122 as a second mesh, the smoothness of air passage is improved, and the wind noise during airflow is reduced.

[0088] Furthermore, such as Figures 3 to 5As shown, the shelf assembly 41 includes a partition plate 411 and a support plate 412. Both the partition plate 411 and the support plate 412 are arranged along the width direction of the cooking device 100, and the support plate 412 is located below the partition plate 411. The support plate 412 and the partition plate 411 constitute the first air duct section 471. The third assembly module 40 also includes a first air guide 45. The first air guide 45 and the second air suction 43 are located on opposite sides of the partition plate 411, respectively. The first air guide 45 separates the second air duct section 472 of the oil fume duct 47 at the rear part of the inner cavity 10. The second air duct section 472 communicates with the first air duct section 471 through the through hole of the partition plate 411. Specifically, both the partition plate 411 and the support plate 412 are located at the rear of the inner cavity 10. The partition plate 411 extends along the length of the cooking device 100, and the support plate 412 is parallel and spaced below the partition plate 411, forming a first air duct 471 between the support plate 412 and the partition plate 411. The second suction component 43 is located on the support plate 412 and between the support plate 412 and the partition plate 411. When it is necessary to extract fumes from the stove below the cooking device 100, the second suction component 43 is activated. Under the action of the second suction component 43, the fumes enter the first air duct 471 and then enter the exhaust duct along the fume duct 47 to achieve the exhaust of fumes. By placing the second suction component 43 in the first air duct 471, the height of the cooking device 100 can be effectively reduced while ensuring normal fume extraction, thereby reducing the space required for installation of the cooking device 100 and satisfying the needs of users with limited space.

[0089] In addition, the first air guide 45 is located at the rear of the inner cavity 10, and the first air guide 45 and the second suction 43 are located on both sides of the partition plate 411. The first air guide 45 forms the second air duct section 472 of the fume duct 47, which is connected to the first air duct section 471. When it is necessary to extract fumes from the stove below the cooking device 100, the second suction 43 is activated. Under the action of the second suction 43, the fumes enter the first air duct section 471 through the second air inlet 511, then enter the second air duct section 472 through the through hole on the support plate 412, and finally enter the exhaust duct along the fume duct 47 to achieve the exhaust of fumes. By setting the second air duct section 472, the fumes are guided, allowing them to be discharged along a preset path, thereby ensuring the exhaust effect of the fumes.

[0090] It should be noted that the first air guide component 45 is the first air guide plate. The first air guide plate has a simple structure, is easy to process and manufacture, and can effectively ensure the manufacturing cost of the first air guide component 45. In addition, the first air guide plate is inclined and set at an angle to the airflow direction, thereby ensuring better guidance of the air and further improving the smoothness of airflow.

[0091] Furthermore, such as Figures 3 to 5 As shown, the partition plate 411, the second partition plate 312, the first air guide 45, and the inner cavity 10 constitute the second electrical chamber 44. The second electrical chamber 44 is connected to the first air duct 471 through the fourth through hole 4111 on the partition plate 411. Specifically, the partition plate 411 is disposed at the rear of the inner cavity 10 and extends along the length of the cooking device 100. One end of the partition plate 411 protrudes from the side of the inner cavity 10, and the part of the partition plate 411 protruding from the inner cavity 10 is perpendicularly connected to the second partition plate 312. Together with the inner cavity 10 and the first air guide 45, the second electrical chamber 44 is formed. The second electrical chamber 44 is connected to the first electrical chamber 32 and the first air duct 471. The structure of the second electrical chamber 44 is simple and easy to manufacture, which can effectively reduce the manufacturing cost of the cooking device 100.

[0092] It should be noted that the second through hole 3121 on the second partition 312 is connected to the second electrical chamber 44, and the fourth through hole 4111 on the partition 411 is connected to the first air duct 471. The opening direction of the second through hole 3121 is perpendicular to the opening direction of the fourth through hole 4111. After the air in the first electrical chamber 32 enters the second electrical chamber 44 through the second through hole 3121, it enters the fume duct 47 through the fourth through hole 4111. The arrangement of the second through hole 3121 and the fourth through hole 4111 can further improve the smoothness of the air flow process and effectively reduce the wind noise during the air flow process.

[0093] In addition, the partition plate 411 is a plate-shaped component. The partition plate 411 has a simple structure, is easy to process and manufacture, and has a low manufacturing cost.

[0094] Furthermore, such as Figures 3 to 5 As shown, the support plate 412 is also provided with a first air inlet 4121, and the first air duct section 471 is connected to the lower part of the cooking device 100 through the first air inlet 4121. Specifically, when it is necessary to extract oil fumes from the stove below the cooking device 100, the second suction component 43 is activated. Under the action of the second suction component 43, the oil fumes enter the first air duct section 471 through the first air inlet 4121 and enter the exhaust duct along the oil fume duct 47 to achieve the exhaust of oil fumes.

[0095] In this invention, the support plate 412 is flush with the bottom plate of the inner cavity 10, and the partition plates 411 are spaced above the support plate 412. The first air duct portion 471, which is formed by the partition plates 411, the support plate 412, and the inner cavity 10, is located below the rear part of the inner cavity 10. This further avoids the second suction component 43 occupying the top space of the inner cavity 10, thereby reducing the height of the cooking device 100 to meet the installation needs of users with small spaces.

[0096] In addition, in this invention, the second suction component 43 is a vortex fan, and the first air inlet 4121 located on the support plate 412 is a grille structure. The first air inlet 4121 is set close to the inlet of the vortex fan, thereby ensuring the suction effect of the vortex fan on the oil fumes and ensuring the exhaust effect of the oil fumes.

[0097] In addition, such as Figure 5 As shown, there can be multiple second suction components 43, which are spaced apart within the first air duct 471. By providing multiple second suction components 43, the cooking device 100's ability to extract oil fumes is improved, further enhancing its fume extraction efficiency. When there are multiple second suction components 43, the number of through holes on the partition plate 411 and the number of first air guides 45 correspond one-to-one with the number of second suction components 43, meaning each second suction component 43 corresponds to one through hole and one first air guide 45. This ensures effective guidance of oil fumes, further improving the fume extraction efficiency.

[0098] Furthermore, such as Figures 2 to 5 As shown, the third assembly module 40 also includes a second air guide 46. The second air guide 46 is disposed at the top of the inner cavity 10 and forms a third air duct section 473 of the fume duct 47 at the top of the inner cavity 10. The second air duct section 472 communicates with the outside through the third air duct section 473. Specifically, the third air duct section 473 is located at the top of the inner cavity 10. The third air duct section 473, the second air duct section 472, and the first air duct section 471 are sequentially connected to form the fume duct 47. The fume duct 47 covers the rear and top of the inner cavity 10. The third air duct section 473 formed by the second air guide 46 and the inner cavity 10 is disposed at the top of the inner cavity 10. By controlling the height of the second air guide 46, the height of the cooking device 100 can be effectively reduced while ensuring the exhaust of fumes, thus meeting the installation needs of users in small spaces.

[0099] It should be noted that the second air guide 46 is a second air guide plate. There are two second air guide plates, which are arranged in parallel at intervals on the top of the inner cavity 10. The space between the two constitutes the third air duct 473.

[0100] In other embodiments, the outlet of the second air duct 472 is directly connected to the exhaust duct, eliminating the need for the second air guide 46, which further reduces the manufacturing cost of the cooking device 100 and also further reduces the height of the cooking device 100.

[0101] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the cooking device 100 also includes an outer cover 50, which is disposed outside the inner cavity 10. The outer cover 50 includes a second air inlet 511, a first air outlet 512, and a second air outlet 513. The first assembly module 20, the second assembly module 30, and the third assembly module 40 are all disposed between the inner cavity 10 and the outer cover 50. The fume duct 47 is connected to the outside through the first air outlet 512. The inner cavity 10 is connected to the second air outlet 513 through the first assembly module 20. The heat dissipation duct is connected to the outside through the second air inlet 511. Specifically, the outer cover 50 is disposed on the outside of the inner cavity 10, and the first assembly module 20, the second assembly module 30, and the third assembly module 40 are disposed between the outer cover 50 and the inner cavity 10. The second air inlet 511 on the outer cover 50 corresponds to the second assembly module 30, meaning that the heat dissipation duct of the second assembly module 30 receives air through the second air inlet 511. The first air outlet 512 of the outer cover 50 is connected to the third duct section 473 of the fume duct 47, meaning that the fumes in the fume duct 47 are discharged through the first air outlet 512. The second air outlet 513 of the outer cover 50 is connected to the first assembly module 20, meaning that the cooking cavity 11 is connected to the outside through the first assembly module 20 and the second air outlet 513. By setting the outer cover 50, the first assembly module 20, the second assembly module 30, and the third assembly module 40 are enclosed inside the cooking device 100, avoiding the influence of the external environment on the internal components of the cooking device 100.

[0102] It should be noted that the outer cover 50 includes a side panel 51 and a rear panel 52. The side panel 51 is located on the left, top, and right sides of the inner cavity 10 and is connected and fixed to the front and bottom plates of the inner cavity 10 by fasteners such as screws. The rear panel 52 is located at the rear of the inner cavity 10 and is connected and fixed to the bottom plate and side panel 51 of the inner cavity 10 by fasteners such as screws. By setting the outer cover 50 into two parts, the side panel 51 and the rear panel 52, maintenance of the cooking device 100 can be performed by disassembling either the side panel 51 or the rear panel 52, thereby improving the efficiency of maintenance of the cooking device 100. Furthermore, setting the outer cover 50 into two parts, the side panel 51 and the rear panel 52, facilitates manufacturing and can effectively reduce the manufacturing cost of the cooking device 100.

[0103] In addition, the rear panel 52 can be pre-assembled with the third assembly module 40, that is, as part of the third assembly module 40, which further reduces the installation process and effectively improves the installation efficiency.

[0104] Furthermore, such as Figure 6As shown, the inner cavity 10 is also provided with an air inlet 12 that communicates with the cooking cavity 11. The cooking cavity 11 is connected to the heat dissipation duct through the air inlet 12. Specifically, the cooking cavity 11 is connected to the first electrical chamber 32 through the air inlet 12 and to the outside through the exhaust port 13. After the air in the first electrical chamber 32 enters the cooking cavity 11 through the air inlet 12, it carries away the water vapor or oil fumes in the cooking cavity 11 through the exhaust port 13, thereby ensuring a good cooking environment in the cooking cavity 11 and improving the cooking quality of the food.

[0105] It should be noted that the air inlet 12 is located on the side wall of the cooking chamber 11 corresponding to the first electrical chamber 32, and the exhaust port 13 is located on the top wall of the cooking chamber 11 and is located away from the air inlet 12. The arrangement of the air inlet 12 and the exhaust port 13 can effectively ensure the discharge of water vapor or fumes from the cooking chamber 11.

[0106] In this invention, the cooking device is an OTR microwave oven. For the structure of other parts of the OTR microwave oven, please refer to the prior art, and it will not be described again in this application.

Any variations or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present invention should be included within the scope of protection of the present invention.
