[0036] Example embodiments will now be described more fully with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, example embodiments can be embodied in many forms and should not be construed as 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 concepts of the example embodiments to those skilled in the art. Like reference numerals in the figures represent like or similar structures, and thus their detailed description will be omitted.

[0037] The terms "a", "an", "the", and "said" are used to indicate the presence of one or more elements / components / etc.; the terms "including" and "having" are used to express an open-ended inclusive meaning and mean that additional elements / components / etc. may be present in addition to the listed elements / components / etc.

[0038] Implementation Method 1

[0039] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the present invention provides a cooking device 100, including a shell 1, an electrical component 2 and a fan 3, the shell 1 has a heat dissipation cavity 11, multiple air inlets 12 and multiple first air outlets 13, the multiple air inlets 12 and the multiple first air outlets 13 are all located on the front side of the shell 1 and are connected to the heat dissipation cavity 11; the electrical component 2 is arranged in the heat dissipation cavity 11; the fan 3 is arranged in the heat dissipation cavity 11, the exhaust port of the fan 3 is directed toward the electrical component 2, and the fan 3 is configured to dissipate heat for the electrical component 2; wherein, the number of the air inlets 12 is greater than the number of the first air outlets 13, so that the air intake of the air inlet 12 is greater than the air outlet of the first air outlet 13.

[0040] In the cooking device 100 of the present invention, the number of air inlets 12 on the front side of the shell 1 is greater than the number of first air outlets 13 located on the front side of the shell 1, so that the air intake volume of the air inlet 12 can be greater than the air outlet volume of the first air outlet 13. As a result, the hot air discharged from the front side of the shell 1 can be less, and it is not easy for the ambient temperature (such as the ambient temperature of the kitchen) to rise too quickly. That is, the ambient temperature is not easy to rise, and less hot air is blown toward the user, thereby improving the user experience and making the user less likely to feel uncomfortable; in addition, the exhaust port of the fan 3 is directly facing the electrical component 2, which can also improve the heat dissipation efficiency of the electrical component 2.

[0041] Specifically, the electrical components 2 can be a control circuit board, a magnetron and a water pump, etc.; the fan 3 can be a centrifugal fan 3 or an axial flow fan 3, etc.; the specific number of the air inlet 12 on the front side of the shell 1 and the first air outlet 13 on the front side of the shell 1 can be set according to actual needs and are not specifically limited here. For example, the air inlet 12 on the front side of the shell 1 can be eleven, and the first air outlet 13 on the front side of the shell 1 can be three, that is, the number of air inlets 12 can be three to five times the number of the first air outlet 13.

[0042] In this embodiment, if Figures 3 to 5 As shown, the cooking device 100 may further include a door body 9 (or a door assembly), which is arranged on the front side of the shell body 1. The rear end of the upper part of the door body 9 has an air guide slope 91 that is inclined downward from front to back relative to the horizontal plane. The height of the lower end of the air guide slope 91 is lower than the height of the lower edge of the air inlet 12 and the height of the lower edge of the first air outlet 13. Through the above-mentioned structural arrangement, the obstruction of objects in front of the air inlet 12 and the first air outlet 13 can be reduced, so that air can smoothly enter and exit the shell body 1 through the front side of the shell body 1. Therefore, even when the door body 9 is closed, it will not affect the air intake and exhaust of the fan 3, thereby reducing the operating noise and heat of the fan 3.

[0043] In one embodiment of the present invention, Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the surface of the shell 1 extending into the cabinet 300 may have a plurality of second air outlets 14. For example, the second air outlets 14 may be arranged on the rear side and the right side of the shell 1. The plurality of second air outlets 14 are connected to the heat dissipation cavity 11, and the plurality of second air outlets 14 are configured to supply air to the stove 200 installed in the cabinet 300 and located above the shell 1. Through the above-mentioned structural arrangement, air can enter the lower part of the stove 200 through the air inlet 12 and the second air outlet 14 in sequence, and supply air to the stove 200, so that the air pressure in the lower part of the stove 200 is positive, providing more oxygen for the stove 200, and making the gas fully burn, so that the smoke value is not easy to exceed the standard.

[0044] It is understandable that in the prior art, when the cooking device 100 and the stove 200 are both installed in an embedded manner, the cabinet 300 is relatively closed, and air is not easy to enter the stove 200. Therefore, when the stove (such as a gas stove) is in use, there is a possibility of incomplete combustion of the gas, which makes it easy for the smoke value to exceed the standard and cause carbon monoxide poisoning.

[0045] Further, if Figure 3 As shown, the cooking device 100 may further include a wind shield 4, which is arranged in the heat dissipation cavity 11 and connected to the front side of the shell 1. The wind shield 4 extends from between the air inlet 12 and the first air outlet 13 to the exhaust port 31 of the fan 3. The wind shield 4 and the front side of the shell 1 are enclosed to form the fan air inlet cavity 5. Multiple air inlets 12 are connected to the fan air inlet cavity 5, thereby separating the air inlet 12 and the first air outlet 13, that is, the air inlet 12 is dedicated to air intake, and the first air outlet 13 is dedicated to air outlet, thereby preventing interference between air intake and air outlet, reducing wind noise in the shell 1, improving the air intake efficiency and air outlet efficiency of the fan 3, and realizing a circulating air duct.

[0046] Furthermore, if Figure 3As shown, the cooking device 100 may further include a water tank 6, which is arranged in the heat dissipation cavity 11 and is located below the wind shield 4. Through the above-mentioned structural arrangement, the water tank 6 can dissipate heat and reduce the evaporation of water in the water tank 6. Moreover, the water tank 6 can also serve as an insulator for the wind shield 4. In addition, the water tank 6 can also be used to exchange heat with the electrical components 2 to reduce the temperature of the air entering the shell 1 and improve the heat dissipation efficiency of the fan 3 to the electrical components 2.

[0047] In one embodiment of the present invention, Figure 3 As shown, the cooking device 100 may further include an air guide 7, which is arranged in the heat dissipation cavity 11. The air guide 7 is extended from the rear side of the wind shield 4 toward one end of the air inlet 12 toward the inner wall of the rear side of the shell 1. The air guide 7, the rear side of the shell 1 and the right side of the shell 1 are combined to form a fan exhaust cavity 8. Multiple first air outlets 13 and multiple second air outlets 14 are all connected to the fan exhaust cavity 8, and the electrical component 2 is located in the fan exhaust cavity 8. Through the above-mentioned structural arrangement, the direction of the wind discharged by the fan 3 can be guided, so that the wind discharged by the fan 3 can be blown toward the electrical component 2 as concentratedly as possible, thereby improving the heat dissipation efficiency of the fan 3 to the electrical component 2.

[0048] Specifically, if Figure 3 As shown, the air guide 7 can be formed by stacking two layers of plates, and its material can be aluminum or mirror stainless steel, which can play the role of heat insulation and reflection of thermal radiation, thereby reducing the temperature rise value of the air guide 7.

[0049] In this embodiment, if Figure 3As shown, the wind shield 4 and the wind guide 7 can separate the heat dissipation cavity 11 into a first cavity and a second cavity, and the wind guide 7 is provided with an air hole 71, and the first cavity is connected to the second cavity through the air hole 71, and a plurality of second air outlets 14 are respectively connected to the first cavity (or can be called the left cavity) and the second cavity (or can be called the right cavity), and a plurality of first air outlets 13 are connected to the second cavity, that is, when the fan 3 rotates, the air entering the shell from the front side of the shell 1 can be divided into three parts and discharged to the outside of the shell. In the first part, the air that has not undergone heat exchange (such as cold air) passes through the air inlet 12 and the second cavity in sequence, and is discharged through the plurality of second air outlets 14 connected to the second cavity (such as the plurality of second air outlets 14 at the rear end of the upper right side of the shell 1 and the plurality of second air outlets 14 at the right end of the upper rear side of the shell 1); the second part, the air that has not undergone heat exchange (such as cold air) passes through the air inlet 12 and the second cavity in sequence The air inlet 12, the second cavity, the air hole 71 and the first cavity are discharged through a plurality of second air outlets 14 connected to the first cavity (for example, the plurality of second air outlets 14 at the left end of the upper part of the rear side of the shell 1); the third part, the air that has not undergone heat exchange (for example, cold air) passes through the air inlet 12, the second cavity, the air hole 71 and the first cavity in sequence, and is discharged through a plurality of first air outlets 13 connected to the first cavity; through the above-mentioned structural arrangement, the temperature rise of the cooking device 100 can be reduced, so that more air can be supplied to the stove 200, so that the gas can be fully burned, and less air can be discharged from the first air outlet 13 on the front side of the shell 1, further making the hot air discharged from the front side of the shell 1 less, and not easily causing the ambient temperature (for example, the ambient temperature of the kitchen) to rise too quickly, that is, the ambient temperature can be prevented from rising, thereby improving the user experience and preventing the user from feeling uncomfortable.

[0050] In a specific application, each corner of the air hole 71 can be rounded. For example, the hole shape of the air hole 71 can be a circular hole or a rectangular hole with rounded corners, etc., which can be conveniently stamped.

[0051] In one embodiment of the present invention, Figure 3 As shown, the shell 1 may also have an upper cover 104, and the upper cover 104 sealing cover is provided at the upper open end of the shell 1 connected to the heat dissipation cavity 11, and the air exhaust port 31 of the fan 3 faces the upper cover 104, that is, the upper end of the shell 1 is an open end, which is connected to the heat dissipation cavity 11, and the upper cover 104 sealing cover is provided at the open end. Through the above-mentioned structural arrangement, the air exhaust port 31 of the fan 3 is not directly facing the air inlet 12, thereby allowing each air inlet 12 to fully intake air, thereby avoiding the air outside the shell 1 entering the shell 1 only through individual air inlets 12 during the rotation of the fan 3, thereby improving the air intake efficiency of the fan 3.

[0052] Specifically, if Figure 3 As shown, the air intake 31 can be arranged upward, and the air exhaust vent can be arranged backward.

[0053] Further, if Figure 3 As shown, the windshield 4 can be made of a soft and elastic material, and the upper end of the windshield 4 is sealed with the lower side of the upper cover 104. Through the above structural setting, it can not only play a sealing role, but the windshield 4, the front side of the shell 1 and the upper cover 104 are combined to form the fan air inlet cavity 5, further improving the air intake efficiency and air outlet efficiency of the fan 3. In addition, the windshield 4 can also play a role in buffering impact, improving the ability of the cooking device 100 to pass the drop test, and improving the durability of the cooking device 100.

[0054] In this embodiment, the windshield 4 may be a windshield 4 made of sponge. In other embodiments, the material of the windshield 4 may be, for example, silicone rubber, polyvinyl chloride (PVC), thermoplastic polyurethane elastomer rubber (TPU) or thermoplastic elastomer (TPE).

[0055] In some embodiments, as Figure 3 As shown, the shell 1 includes a front door panel 101, a top frame 102, a top plate 103 and an upper cover 104; the rear side of the upper part of the front door panel 101, the inner peripheral side of the top frame 102, the upper side of the top plate 103 and the lower side of the upper cover 104 enclose a heat dissipation cavity 11; the door body 9 includes a door handle 92 and a door glass 93, the door glass 93 is arranged on the front side of the front door panel 101, and the door handle 92 is arranged in the middle of the upper part of the front side of the door glass 93; the water tank 6 is arranged at the front part of the upper side of the top plate 103; the fan 3 is arranged at the right front end of the upper side of the top plate 103; the electrical component 2 is arranged at the right rear end of the upper side of the top plate 103, and the electrical component 2 includes a control panel, a water pump and a power cord.
