Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of kitchen appliance technology, and in particular to a cabinet structure and a steam oven. Background Technology

[0002] Steam ovens are common kitchen appliances. Inside, they contain a steam generator that produces steam. The steam oven also includes an inner pot to hold the food. The steam generator introduces steam into the inner pot, and the steam heats and cooks the food by contacting it.

[0003] With the development of technology, many steam ovens now incorporate baking functions, also known as steam ovens. Steam ovens can not only introduce steam into the inner cavity to cook food, but also blow hot air into the inner cavity to heat food.

[0004] However, steam ovens have the problem of producing food at high temperatures and cooling down slowly during the cooking process. Summary of the Invention

[0005] Therefore, it is necessary to address the problem that existing steam ovens produce food at high temperatures and cool it down slowly during the cooking process, and to provide a cabinet structure and steam oven that can quickly cool down the cooked food.

[0006] In a first aspect, this application provides a box structure, including:

[0007] The box body has a cooking cavity for cooking objects. The box body includes a first box wall and a second box wall. The first box wall has a first opening communicating with the cooking cavity, and the second box wall has a second opening communicating with the cooking cavity.

[0008] The first door, installed on the enclosure, is used to open or close the first opening; and

[0009] The second door, installed on the box body, is used to open or close the second opening;

[0010] The first box wall intersects with the second box wall.

[0011] In one embodiment, the housing structure has a cooking state for the cooked object and a cooling state for the cooled object.

[0012] When the cabinet structure is in the cooking state, the first door closes the first opening, and the second door closes the second opening;

[0013] When the enclosure structure is in a cooled state, the first door opens the first opening, and the second door opens the second opening.

[0014] In one embodiment, the second box wall is configured as the bottom wall defining the cooking cavity, and the box structure has a cooking state for cooking objects and a retrieval state for removing objects from the cooking cavity.

[0015] When the cabinet structure is in the cooking state, the first door closes the first opening, and the second door closes the second opening;

[0016] When the cabinet structure is in the retrieval state, the second door opens the second opening, which is used to remove the object from the cooking cavity.

[0017] In one embodiment, the housing also has a retrieval cavity that communicates with the cooking cavity through a second opening.

[0018] In one embodiment, the box body also has a first support wall, which has an opening for retrieving items that communicates with the retrieval cavity, and the first support wall intersects with the second box wall.

[0019] In one embodiment, the first opening and the retrieval opening are located on the same side of the box.

[0020] In one embodiment, when the box structure is in the retrieval state, the second box door is at least partially placed in the retrieval cavity and is inclined relative to the second box wall, and the first opening and the retrieval port are both located on the same side of the second box door.

[0021] In one embodiment, the second door is rotatably connected to the housing.

[0022] In one embodiment, the housing structure further includes a storage component disposed within the cooking cavity, the storage component being movable relative to the housing.

[0023] When the cabinet structure is in the cooking state, the storage compartment is used to support the object;

[0024] When the box structure is in the retrieval state, the placement component can detach the object from it.

[0025] In one embodiment, the object is rotatable relative to the housing.

[0026] Secondly, a steam oven is provided, including the aforementioned cabinet structure.

[0027] The aforementioned cabinet structure and steam oven, by opening a first opening and a second opening communicating with the cooking cavity on the intersecting first and second cabinet walls respectively, can effectively increase the communication area between the cooking cavity and the external environment when the first opening of the first cabinet door is open and the second opening of the second cabinet door is open. This allows airflow to pass through the cooking cavity, thereby achieving rapid cooling of the cooked food, effectively reducing the risk of burns, and improving the food processing speed and serving efficiency.

[0028] In addition, after cleaning the cooking cavity inside the cabinet, the ventilation advantage of the multi-door structure helps to accelerate the evaporation of cleaning water and promotes the cabinet structure to return to a dry state. Attached Figure Description

[0043] Figure 1 This invention provides a schematic diagram of the cabinet structure in a cooking state according to an embodiment of the present application. Figure 2 for Figure 1 The diagram shows the box structure in a cooled state. Figure 3 for Figure 2 The diagram shows the structure of the box with the first box door removed.

[0044] Referring to the accompanying drawings, one embodiment of this application provides a cabinet structure 100, including a cabinet body 10, a first cabinet door 11, and a second cabinet door 30. The cabinet structure 100 of this application can be applied to steam ovens, or to other suitable equipment such as steam ovens and ovens, and is not limited thereto.

[0045] The housing 10 has a cooking cavity 11 for cooking objects.

[0046] The cooking cavity 11 refers to a cavity with a certain shape and capacity that can hold food to be cooked. The specific shape of the cooking cavity 11 is not unique; for example, it can be a cuboid, a cube, or a sphere, etc.

[0047] The box body 10 includes a first box wall and a second box wall. The first box wall has a first opening 12 that communicates with the cooking cavity 11, and the second box wall has a second opening 13 that communicates with the cooking cavity 11.

[0048] The first door 20 is installed on the box body 10 and is used to open or close the first opening 12. The second door 30 is installed on the second opening 13 and is used to open or close the second opening 13. The first box wall and the second box wall intersect.

[0049] Thus, by opening a first opening 12 and a second opening 13 on the intersecting first and second boxes respectively, which are connected to the cooking cavity 11, and when the first box door 20 opens the first opening 12 and the second box door 30 opens the second opening 13, the communication area between the cooking cavity 11 and the external environment can be effectively increased, allowing airflow to pass through the cooking cavity 11, so as to achieve rapid cooling of the cooked food, thereby effectively reducing the risk of burns and improving the food processing speed and serving efficiency.

[0050] In addition, after cleaning the cooking cavity 11 inside the cabinet structure 100, the ventilation advantage of the multi-door structure helps to accelerate the evaporation of cleaning water and promotes the cabinet structure 100 to return to a dry state.

[0051] Specifically, in the embodiments of this application, the box structure 100 has a cooking state for cooking objects and a cooling state for cooling objects. When the box structure 100 is in the cooking state, the first box door 20 closes the first opening 12 and the second box door 30 closes the second opening 13. When the box structure 100 is in the cooling state, the first box door 20 opens the first opening 12 and the second box door 30 opens the second opening 13.

[0052] In this way, during cooking, the cooking chamber 11 can be relatively enclosed to prevent heat loss and thus avoid affecting cooking efficiency. During cooling, airflow can pass through the cooking chamber 11 to achieve rapid cooling of the cooked food.

[0053] like Figures 1-4 As shown, in some embodiments, the second box wall is configured to define the bottom wall of the cooking cavity 11, and the box structure 100 has a cooking state for cooking objects and a retrieval state for removing objects from the cooking cavity 11. When the box structure 100 is in the cooking state, the first box door 20 closes the first opening 12, and the second box door 30 closes the second opening 13. When the box structure 100 is in the retrieval state, the second box door 30 opens the second opening 13, and the second opening 13 is used to remove objects from the cooking cavity 11.

[0054] In this way, the second opening 13 can not only cooperate with the first opening 12 to form an airflow channel that allows airflow to pass through the cooking cavity 11, but also use the object's own weight to remove it from the bottom of the cooking cavity 11, thus preventing the user from putting their hand into the cooking cavity 11 and directly contacting the high-temperature area inside the cooking cavity 11, preventing burns.

[0055] Furthermore, the housing 10 also has a retrieval cavity 14, which is connected to the cooking cavity 11 through a second opening 13.

[0056] In this way, the object can be received from the cooking cavity 11 through the object retrieval cavity 14, thus forming a buffer space to prevent the user from being burned by the high-temperature object and to prevent the object from being disturbed by the external environment.

[0057] Specifically, the retrieval cavity 14 is located on the side of the second box wall facing away from the cooking cavity 11. In this way, the object can be directly transported into the retrieval cavity 14 below the second opening 13, simplifying the retrieval route and preventing the object from shaking and affecting its appearance.

[0058] In embodiments of this application, the first box wall is perpendicular to the second box wall. Further, the second box wall is configured to define the sidewalls of the cooking cavity 11.

[0059] Furthermore, the enclosure 10 includes a first enclosure body 15, which has a cooking cavity 11, a first enclosure wall, and a second enclosure wall. Specifically, the first enclosure body 15 may be rectangular or cubic. More specifically, the first enclosure body 15 also includes a third enclosure wall disposed opposite to the first enclosure wall along a first direction, a fourth enclosure wall disposed opposite to the second enclosure wall along a second direction, and a fifth and sixth enclosure wall disposed opposite to each other along a third direction. The first, second, and third directions are perpendicular to each other, and the first, second, third, fourth, fifth, and sixth enclosure walls together enclose the cooking cavity 11.

[0060] Furthermore, the box body 10 also includes a second box body 16, with the first box body 15 stacked on top of the second box body 16. The second box body 16 has a retrieval cavity 14. Specifically, the second box body 16 may be cuboid or cubic. More specifically, the second box body 16 includes a first and a second support wall arranged opposite each other along a first direction, a third and a fourth support wall arranged opposite each other along a second direction, and a fifth and a sixth support wall arranged opposite each other along a third direction. The first, second, third, fourth, fifth, and sixth support walls enclose the retrieval cavity 14.

[0061] In the embodiments of this application, the third support wall and the second box wall can be shared.

[0062] In some embodiments, the first support wall has a retrieval port 161 communicating with the retrieval cavity 14, and the first support wall intersects with the second box wall.

[0063] Thus, by setting the first support wall with the opening 161 to intersect with the second box wall, it is possible to take out the item from the side of the retrieval cavity 14, rather than from the bottom wall of the retrieval cavity 14, thereby improving the convenience of retrieving the item.

[0064] In addition, after removing the food, the user can clean the cooking cavity 11 through the retrieval port 161 and the second opening 13. Since the oil and seasoning contaminants generated during the steaming and baking process are mostly concentrated in the second door 30 and the retrieval cavity 14, the user's main cleaning area should be concentrated in the second door 30 and the retrieval cavity 14. Therefore, the cabinet structure 100 of this application directly changes the traditional mode where the door is in front after the first door 20 is opened, which hinders the user from cleaning the cabinet. This effectively improves the cleaning convenience of the cabinet structure 100. In addition, by setting the retrieval port 161, the second opening 13 and the first opening 12 to be connected, it is beneficial to accelerate the evaporation of cleaning water and promote the cabinet structure 100 to return to a dry state.

[0065] Furthermore, the first opening 12 and the retrieval opening 161 are located on the same side of the box body 10. Since the first box door 20 needs to open or close the first opening 12, the side of the first box door 20 facing outward has a larger operating space. The retrieval opening 161 is also located on this side, which also provides a certain operating space. Therefore, the overall operating space of the box body structure 100 is reduced.

[0066] In some embodiments, when the box structure 100 is in the retrieval state, the second box door 30 is at least partially placed in the retrieval cavity 14 and is inclined relative to the second box wall, and the first opening 12 and the retrieval port 161 are both located on the same side of the second box door 30.

[0067] In this way, a slope can be formed, and when the object is taken out from the first opening 12, it can be guided by the second box wall to move towards the retrieval opening 161, thereby realizing the rapid retrieval of the object and improving production efficiency.

[0068] Specifically, the tilt angle of the second door 30 relative to the second box wall can be 45 degrees, 60 degrees, or other angles greater than 60 degrees and less than 90 degrees, and there is no specific limitation.

[0069] In some embodiments, the housing structure 100 further includes a storage element 40 disposed within the cooking cavity 11, and the storage element 40 is movable relative to the housing 10. When the housing structure 100 is in the cooking state, the storage element 40 is used to support objects, and when the housing structure 100 is in the retrieval state, the storage element 40 is able to detach objects from it.

[0070] By setting the placement component 40 to move relative to the box 10, the object can be separated from it when it is retrieved, and then the object can be taken out from the bottom of the cooking cavity 11 by its own weight. Therefore, the retrieval efficiency and convenience are improved.

[0071] Specifically, the storage component 40 can rotate relative to the housing 10. Therefore, during the rotation, the object can lose its balance and detach from the storage component 40, and the rotating structure occupies little space and has a more compact structure.

[0072] In other embodiments, the object holder 40 can also move the object away from it by translational movement, such as opening and closing actions, etc., and there is no specific limitation.

[0073] Specifically, the storage component 40 includes multiple rotating storage rods 41, with both ends of the multiple rotating storage rods 41 connected to two support frames 42 respectively. The box structure 100 also includes a rotating shaft 50, with at least one of the two support frames 42 connected to the rotating shaft 50 to be rotatably connected to the box 10.

[0074] Thus, the rotation of the object 40 can be achieved by manually or electrically operating the rotating shaft 50.

[0075] In some embodiments, the housing structure 100 further includes a plurality of rollers 60, which are spaced apart at the bottom of the housing structure 100. By providing the rollers 60, the housing structure 100 can be moved to facilitate the transfer of the housing structure 100 or the change of its placement environment.

[0076] Based on the same inventive concept, this application also provides a steam oven, including the cabinet structure 100 in any of the above embodiments.

[0077] The cabinet structure 100 and steam oven provided in this application embodiment have the following beneficial effects:

[0078] By opening a first opening 12 and a second opening 13 on the intersecting first and second boxes respectively, which are connected to the cooking cavity 11, and when the first box door 20 opens the first opening 12 and the second box door 30 opens the second opening 13, the communication area between the cooking cavity 11 and the external environment can be effectively increased, allowing airflow to pass through the cooking cavity 11, so as to achieve rapid cooling of the cooked food, thereby effectively reducing the risk of burns and improving the food processing speed and serving efficiency.

[0079] In addition, after cleaning the cooking cavity 11 inside the cabinet structure 100, the ventilation advantage of the multi-door structure helps to accelerate the evaporation of cleaning water and promotes the cabinet structure 100 to return to a dry state.

[0080] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined in any way. For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

[0081] The embodiments described above are merely illustrative of several implementation methods of this application, and while the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the patent. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the inventive concept, and these all fall within the protection scope of this application. Therefore, the protection scope of this patent application should be determined by the appended claims.
