Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of household appliance technology, and more particularly to a cooking utensil. Background Technology

[0002] This section provides only background information relevant to this disclosure and is not necessarily prior art.

[0003] Currently, OTR (Over The Range) cooking appliances typically include microwave and range hood functions, and are quite heavy, weighing approximately 25kg. OTR appliances require mounting on a cabinet. The installation process involves first securing a mounting plate to the wall, then lifting the entire appliance up, hanging the back of the unit onto the mounting plate, and finally completing the remaining installation steps. Due to the weight of the OTR appliance, the installation process is time-consuming and labor-intensive.

[0004] To address the aforementioned issues, existing technologies divide cooking appliances into two parts: a range hood assembly and a main body. During installation, the range hood assembly is first installed on the back panel of the cabinet, and then the main body is installed inside the range hood assembly via a plug-in connection. However, the connection strength between the range hood assembly and the cabinet is low, making it easy for the cooking appliance to loosen and fall off. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to at least solve the problem of cooking appliances becoming loose and detaching due to weak connection strength between the range hood assembly and the cabinet. This purpose is achieved through the following technical solution:

[0006] This invention provides a cooking utensil, the cooking utensil comprising:

[0007] A range hood assembly, comprising a connector and a housing with an air duct, the housing comprising a support portion and a fixing portion connected to each other, the fixing portion being used to install and fix on a back panel at a predetermined position in a cabinet, one end of the connector being connected to the support portion, and the other end of the connector being used to connect to a side panel at the predetermined position.

[0008] The body is provided with a cooking cavity and is detachably mounted on top of the support.

[0009] According to the present invention, when installing the cooking appliance, the range hood assembly is first placed in a predetermined position on the cabinet, then the fixing part of the housing is fixed to the back panel of the predetermined position, and then the other end of the connector is connected to the side panel of the predetermined position (one end of the connector is pre-connected to the housing), and finally the main body is placed on top of the support and fixed. By connecting the back panel and side panel of the housing to the predetermined positions respectively, the fixing strength of the range hood assembly is improved, thereby improving the load-bearing capacity of the main body and avoiding the problem of the cooking appliance loosening and falling off due to the low connection strength between the range hood assembly and the cabinet. In addition, by setting the range hood assembly and the main body as two independent parts and installing them separately during the installation process, the weight of the installed parts is reduced, making the entire installation process time-saving and labor-saving.

[0010] In addition, the cooking appliance according to the present invention may also have the following additional technical features:

[0011] In some embodiments of the present invention, a first limiting structure is provided at the connection position between the supporting part and the fixing part, and a second limiting structure is provided on the body. When the body is disposed on the supporting part, the first limiting structure and the second limiting structure cooperate.

[0012] In some embodiments of the present invention, the first limiting structure is a protruding structure and the second limiting structure is a concave structure. When the body is disposed on the support portion, the protruding structure is embedded in the concave structure.

[0013] In some embodiments of the present invention, the smoke hood assembly further includes a fan, which is disposed within the air duct and corresponds to the protruding structure;

[0014] And / or the range hood assembly may also include a power cord for supplying power to the range hood assembly, with the plug end of the power cord passing through the fixing part and extending to the side of the body.

[0015] In some embodiments of the present invention, the air duct has at least one air inlet, which is formed on the bottom surface of the support portion;

[0016] And / or the air duct has at least one air outlet, the at least one air outlet being located on the top of the fixing part and / or on the side of the fixing part facing the body.

[0017] In some embodiments of the present invention, the width of the fixing part is less than or equal to the width of the supporting part.

[0018] In some embodiments of the present invention, the number of fixing parts is two, and the two fixing parts are spaced apart along the width direction of the support part.

[0019] In some embodiments of the present invention, one end of the connector is rotatably connected to the support portion.

[0020] In some embodiments of the present invention, the number of the connectors is two, and the two connectors are located on opposite sides of the support portion.

[0021] In some embodiments of the present invention, the cooking appliance further includes at least one first fastener that connects the support portion to the body;

[0022] And / or the cooking appliance further includes at least one second fastener, which connects the top plate at the preset position to the body;

[0045] like Figures 1 to 7 As shown, according to an embodiment of the present invention, a cooking appliance 100 is provided, which includes a range hood assembly 10 and a body 20 having a cooking cavity. The range hood assembly 10 includes a connector 13 and a housing 11. The housing 11 includes a support portion 111 and a fixing portion 112. The support portion 111 is connected to the fixing portion 112. The support portion 111 is connected to one end of the connector 13. The fixing portion 112 is connected to the back panel 204 of a preset position 201 of a cabinet 200 to fix the range hood assembly 10 at the preset position 201. The other end of the connector 13 is connected to the side panel 202 of the preset position 201 to further fix the range hood assembly 10. The body 20 is placed on top of the support portion 111 to realize the installation of the cooking appliance 100.

[0046] Specifically, when installing the cooking appliance 100, the range hood assembly 10 is first placed on the preset position 201 of the cabinet 200. Then, the fixing part 112 of the housing 11 is fixed to the back panel 204 of the preset position 201. Next, the other end of the connector 13 is connected to the side panel 202 of the preset position 201 (one end of the connector 13 is pre-connected to the housing 11). Finally, the appliance 20 is placed on top of the support part 111 and fixed. By connecting the housing 11 to the back panel 204 and side panel 202 of the preset position 201 respectively, the fixing strength of the range hood assembly 10 is improved, thereby increasing the load-bearing capacity of the appliance 20 and avoiding the problem of the cooking appliance 100 loosening and falling off due to the low connection strength between the range hood assembly 10 and the cabinet 200. In addition, by setting the range hood assembly 10 and the appliance 20 as two independent parts and installing them separately during the installation process, the weight of the installed parts is reduced, making the entire installation process time-saving and labor-saving.

[0047] In this invention, such as Figure 1 As shown, the cooking appliance 100 has both cooking and fume extraction functions. When the cooking appliance 100 is in use, it needs to be installed in the preset position 201 of the cabinet 200, which is located above the stove 300. When cooking with the cooking appliance 100, the ingredients are placed in the cooking chamber of the appliance 20, and the appliance 20 is started to cook the ingredients in the cooking chamber. When cooking with the stove 300, the range hood assembly 10 is started to extract the fumes (including oil fumes and water vapor) generated during the cooking process of the stove 300 to prevent the fumes from polluting the cooking environment.

[0048] In addition, such as Figure 1 As shown, the preset position 201 is a recessed structure set on the cabinet 200, and the cooking device is embedded to prevent the cooking utensil 100 from protruding from the surface of the cabinet 200, thereby ensuring that the cooking device maintains good consistency with the cabinet 200 after installation.

[0049] It should be pointed out that, as Figures 1 to 7 As shown, in the embodiment of the present invention, the supporting part 111 and the fixing part 112 are vertically connected to form an L-shaped structure. The connecting member 13 connects the supporting part 111 to the side plate 202 of the preset position 201, thereby forming an inclined structure for the supporting part 111. This improves the strength of the supporting part 111 and prevents the supporting part 111 from deforming when the body 20 is placed on top of the supporting part 111. This improves the load-bearing capacity of the range hood assembly 10 on the body 20 and further enhances the strength and stability of the cooking appliance 100 installation.

[0050] In addition, the air inlet 1112 of the air duct is located inside the housing 11, and the air duct covers the support part 111 and the fixing part 112. After the cooking appliance 100 is installed in the preset position 201 of the cabinet 200, the cooking appliance 100 is located above the stove 300. One end of the air duct is connected to the top of the stove 300, and the other end of the air duct is connected to the outside or the exhaust duct. This ensures that the range hood assembly 10 can exhaust the oil fumes and water vapor generated by the stove 300 during cooking, thereby ensuring that the kitchen maintains a good cooking environment and improving the user experience.

[0051] In addition, such as Figure 1 As shown, the main body 20 includes a housing 21 and a door 22. The cooking cavity is formed on the housing 21. The housing 21 is equipped with a heating component (including but not limited to a microwave generator, a hot air generator, a steam generator, etc.). The heating component operates to heat and cook the food in the cooking cavity. The door 22 is installed on the housing 21 in an openable and closable manner. The cooking cavity is opened or closed by opening and closing the door 22, thereby avoiding adverse effects of the external environment on the food being cooked in the cooking cavity during the cooking process.

[0052] like Figure 1 As shown, a viewing window 221 is provided on the door 22. The viewing window 221 can be made of high-temperature resistant glass. When the cooking chamber is cooking, the user can observe the cooking status of the food in the cooking chamber through the viewing window 221, which improves the user experience.

[0053] like Figure 1 As shown, a control module and a display panel 222 are provided on the door 22. When the user uses the machine 20 to cook food, he / she opens the door 22 and places the food into the cooking cavity, closes the door 22 and operates the control module to start cooking the food. During the cooking process, the user can observe the current status of the food through the window 221 and can also view the current status of the cooking appliance 100 through the display panel 222, so that the user can keep abreast of the current status of the cooking appliance 100 and further improve the user experience.

[0054] To understand further, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figures 4 to 7As shown, a first limiting structure 113 is provided on the housing 11, which is located at the connection position between the fixing part 112 and the supporting part 111. A second limiting structure 211 that cooperates with the first limiting structure 113 is provided on the body 20. Specifically, when installing the cooking appliance 100, the range hood assembly 10 is installed in the preset position 201 of the cabinet 200, and the fixing part 112 of the housing 11 is fixed to the back plate 204 of the preset position 201. The supporting part 111 of the housing 11 is connected and fixed to the side plate 202 of the preset position 201 through the connector 13. Then, the body 20 is placed on top of the supporting part 111. After the body 20 is installed in place on top of the supporting part 111, the second mating structure and the first mating structure cooperate to limit the installation position of the body 20, thereby ensuring the installation accuracy of the body 20. At the same time, the cooperation between the second limiting structure 211 and the first limiting structure 113 prevents the body 20 from shifting and loosening due to vibration or other reasons during use, thus ensuring the installation stability of the body 20.

[0055] It should be understood that the first limiting structure 113 is set on the side of the housing 11 facing the body 20, and the second limiting structure 211 is set in correspondence with the first limiting structure 113. This ensures that after the body 20 is installed in place, the first limiting structure 113 and the second limiting structure 211 cooperate with each other to limit the installation position of the body 20.

[0056] In other embodiments of the present invention, the first limiting structure 113 may also be provided on the fixing part 112, or on the supporting part 111, or partly on the fixing part 112 and partly on the supporting part 111. The structure and position of the second limiting structure 211 are adapted to the structure and position of the first limiting structure 113, thereby ensuring that the body 20 is positioned and installed on the smoke machine assembly 10.

[0057] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figures 4 to 7As shown, in the embodiment of the present invention, the first limiting structure 113 is configured as a protruding structure, and the second limiting structure 211 is configured as a concave structure. When installing the cooking appliance 100, the range hood assembly 10 is installed on the preset position 201 of the cabinet 200, and the fixing part 112 of the housing 11 is fixed on the back plate 204 of the preset position 201. The supporting part 111 of the housing 11 is connected and fixed to the side plate 202 of the preset position 201 through the connector 13. Then, the body 20 is placed on the top of the supporting part 111. After the body 20 is installed in place on the top of the supporting part 111, the body 20 abuts against the fixing part 112 of the housing 11, and the protruding structure is embedded in the concave structure. The inner surface of the concave structure abuts against the protruding structure to limit the installation position of the body 20 and ensure the installation accuracy of the body 20.

[0058] It should be understood that the method of using concave and convex structures for limiting is simple in structure and has a good limiting effect, which further ensures the installation accuracy of the body 20.

[0059] It should be noted that the protruding structure is provided along the transition line at the connection position between the fixing part 112 and the supporting part 111, and the protruding structure may cover part or all of the transition line.

[0060] In other embodiments of the present invention, the first limiting structure 113 is a concave structure and the second limiting structure 211 is a convex structure, that is, the structure is opposite to the first limiting structure being a convex structure and the second limiting structure 211 being a concave structure in the above embodiments. The specific positioning principle can be found in the embodiment where the first limiting structure is a convex structure and the second limiting structure 211 is a concave structure. Here, the present invention will not elaborate further.

[0061] Furthermore, the range hood assembly 10 also includes a fan (not shown in the figure) disposed in the air duct, which is positioned corresponding to the protruding structure. Specifically, the protruding structure of the first limiting structure 113 protrudes outward from the housing 11, thereby increasing the space inside the housing 11 corresponding to the position of the protruding structure. This allows the fan to be installed inside the housing 11 and corresponding to the protruding structure, ensuring that the fan has sufficient installation space and thus meeting the installation requirements of the fan.

[0062] It should be understood that by utilizing the position of the fan within the air duct and the protruding structure, the dimensions of other parts of the housing 11 can be reduced while satisfying the fan installation requirements. This reduces the volume and weight of the range hood assembly 10, making it easier to handle and lift during the installation process and improving the ease of installation.

[0063] It should be noted that in the embodiments of the present invention, the fan is a cross-flow fan (in other embodiments, the fan can be a centrifugal fan). By setting the cross-flow fan at the corner position between the fixed part 112 and the supporting part 111, the wind resistance at the corner of the air duct can be reduced, thereby enhancing the smoke extraction capacity of the smoke extraction assembly 10 and ensuring the smoke extraction effect.

[0064] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the range hood assembly 10 also includes a power cord 12. One end of the power cord 12 is electrically connected to the fan, and the other end of the power cord 12 is located at the plug end, which extends through the fixing part 112 to the side facing the body 20. Specifically, by setting the power cord 12, the range hood assembly 10 can be effectively supplied with electrical energy, thereby ensuring the normal operation of the range hood assembly 10. In addition, by setting the plug to extend from the front of the fixing part 112 (the side of the fixing part 112 facing the body 20), it is ensured that no additional installer is needed to thread the power cord 12 during the installation of the range hood assembly 10. This reduces the number of installers and thus lowers the installation cost of the cooking appliance 100, while also making installation convenient.

[0065] It should be noted that a through hole 205 is provided on the top plate 203 at the preset position 201. After the range hood assembly 10 is installed, the plug can be passed through the through hole 205 of the top plate 203 and inserted into the power socket.

[0066] In addition, the smoke hood assembly 10 also includes electrical components, which may include, but are not limited to, an electrical control board, a transformer, etc. One end of the power cord 12 is electrically connected to the electrical components, and the electrical components are electrically connected to the fan to ensure effective control over whether the fan is running.

[0067] In some embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 3 As shown, the housing 11 has an air inlet 1112 that communicates with the air duct. Under the action of the fan, oil fumes and water vapor enter the air duct through the air inlet 1112. The air inlet 1112 is located on the side of the support part 111 facing the stove 300 (on the bottom surface of the support part 111). By placing the air inlet 1112 on the side of the support part 111 facing the stove 300, the air inlet 1112 is positioned facing the stove 300, which facilitates the extraction of oil fumes and water vapor generated by the stove 300 during cooking and improves the extraction effect.

[0068] It should be understood that the fumes and steam generated during cooking by the stove 300 flow from bottom to top. By placing the air inlet 1112 on the bottom surface of the support 111, the fumes and steam can be quickly drawn into the air duct and discharged, thereby accelerating the fume extraction efficiency.

[0069] It should be noted that the number of air inlets 1112 can be one, two, three, etc. In the accompanying drawings of this invention, two air inlets 1112 are shown for illustration. In addition, when there are multiple air inlets 1112, the multiple air inlets 1112 are distributed at intervals on the side of the support portion 111 facing the stove 300.

[0070] In some embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figures 4 to 7 As shown, the housing 11 has an air outlet 1122 that communicates with the air duct. Under the action of the fan, oil fumes and water vapor are discharged into the air duct through the air outlet 1122. The air outlet 1122 has a fixed part 112 on the housing 11 and the air outlet 1122 has multiple opening positions.

[0071] In some examples of this implementation, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figures 5 to 7 As shown, there is one air outlet 1122, which is located on the top of the fixing part 112 to discharge oil fumes and water vapor through the top of the fixing part 112.

[0072] In some examples of this embodiment, there is one air outlet 1122, which is located on the side of the fixing part 112 facing the body 20, so as to discharge oil fumes and water vapor through the side of the fixing part 112 facing the body 20.

[0073] It should be noted that in this example, the air outlet 1122 can be connected to the exhaust duct of the body 20 to achieve the same discharge of oil fumes and water vapor, thereby reducing the number of exhaust ducts, making the structure simpler, and effectively reducing the manufacturing cost.

[0074] In some examples of this implementation, such as Figure 4 As shown, there are multiple air outlets 1122. Some air outlets 1122 are located on the top of the fixed part 112, and others are located on the side of the fixed part 112 facing the body 20. By setting multiple air outlets 1122, the air volume of the air duct is increased, which further enhances the ability of the range hood assembly 10 to extract oil fumes and water vapor.

[0075] In some embodiments of the present invention, after the cooking appliance 100 is installed, the user stands facing the cooking appliance 100, the distance between the fixing part 112 and the user's left and right sides is the width of the fixing part 112, and the distance between the supporting part 111 and the user's left and right sides is the width of the supporting part 111.

[0076] By setting the width of the fixing part 112 to be less than or equal to the width of the supporting part 111, such as... Figures 5 to 7 As shown, when the width of the fixing part 112 is smaller than the width of the supporting part 111, the volume of the smoke hood assembly 10 is further reduced, which further improves the ease of installation. In addition, when the width of the fixing part 112 is smaller than the width of the supporting part 111, the flow cross section of the air duct is reduced during the transition from the supporting part 111 to the fixing part 112. Under the premise that the fan operating parameters remain unchanged, the flow rate of oil fumes and water vapor can be effectively increased, which further improves the suction effect of the fan assembly.

[0077] In some embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 6 or Figure 7 As shown, there are two fixing parts 112, which are spaced apart along the width direction of the supporting part 111. Specifically, the width of the fixing part 112 is smaller than the width of the supporting part 111. By setting two fixing parts 112, the volume of the fume extraction component can be effectively reduced while ensuring the fume extraction effect, thus improving the ease of installation.

[0078] It should be noted that, in the embodiments of the present invention, as Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 6 As shown, the fixing part 112 can be flush with the outer side of the supporting part 111, such as Figure 5 and Figure 7 As shown, it can also be set to be recessed inward relative to the outer side of the support portion 111.

[0079] Furthermore, one end of the connector 13 is connected to the support portion 111 and can rotate relative to the support portion 111. Specifically, before the range hood assembly 10 is installed, the connector 13 is rotated to maintain a position flush with the support portion 111, thereby reducing the space occupied by the connector 13 and facilitating the transportation of the range hood assembly 10. When the range hood assembly 10 is installed, the connector 13 is rotated to the desired position, and then the range hood assembly 10 is installed and fixed in the preset position 201 of the cabinet 200.

[0080] It should be noted that the connector 13 can be a connecting rod or a connecting plate. In the embodiments of the present invention, the connector 13 is a connecting plate.

[0081] Furthermore, in embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figures 4 to 7As shown, there are two connectors 13, located on opposite sides of the support portion 111. Specifically, by providing two connectors 13, which are respectively connected to the two side panels 202 of the preset position 201 of the cabinet 200, the fixing strength of the range hood assembly 10 is further improved, the load-bearing capacity of the body 20 is further improved, and the installation strength and stability of the cooking appliance 100 are guaranteed.

[0082] In other embodiments of the present invention, the number of connectors 13 may be three, four, five, etc. By providing more connectors 13, the strength and stability of the cooking appliance 100 installation can be further improved.

[0083] In some embodiments of the present invention, the cooking appliance 100 further includes a first fastener that connects the support portion 111 to the body 20. Specifically, the support portion 111 is provided with a connecting hole 1111.
