Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of household electrical appliances, and in particular, relates to a cooking box and a cooking utensil. Background Art

[0002] In the steam oven in the prior art, after cooking the food, a large amount of water vapor often remains in the cooking cavity. If the door is closed directly, it is easy to cause water accumulation in the cooking cavity, which in turn breeds bacteria. Or when the steam oven bakes food when the humidity in the cooking cavity is high, the food baking effect is likely to be poor due to the excessive humidity in the cooking cavity. Summary of the invention

[0003] The present invention aims to solve at least one of the technical problems existing in the prior art or related art.

[0004] To this end, a first object of the present invention is to provide a cooking box.

[0005] The second object of the present invention is to provide a cooking appliance.

[0006] To achieve at least one of the above-mentioned purposes, according to a first aspect of the present invention, a cooking box is proposed, comprising: a main body, including a cooking cavity; a door assembly, movably connected to the main body, the door assembly being used to open or close the cooking cavity; a positioning device, provided on the door assembly, the positioning device being used to keep the door assembly in an open position so that there is a gap between the door assembly and the main body, the positioning device comprising: a support assembly, movably provided on the door assembly, the end of the support assembly being able to abut against the main body to keep the door assembly in an open position.

[0007] The cooking box proposed in the present application includes a main body and a door assembly connected to the main body, wherein the main body includes a cooking cavity, the cooking cavity is used to accommodate food, the cooking box can be used in a cooking utensil, and the cooking utensil can cook the food placed in the cooking cavity. The door assembly is connected to the opening of the main body, and the door assembly is used to open or close the cooking cavity. Specifically, the door assembly is rotatably connected to the main body, and the door assembly can rotate between various positions to open or close the cooking cavity. It can be understood that after the cooking utensil finishes cooking the food, for example, the cooking utensil steams the food, a large amount of water vapor will remain in the cooking cavity. If the door assembly closes the cooking cavity, it is easy to cause water accumulation in the cooking cavity, thereby breeding bacteria or producing odor. In another possible working scenario, when the user needs to use the cooking utensil to bake the food, if the humidity in the cooking cavity is high, it is easy to cause the baking effect of the food to be poor. In order to reduce the humidity in the cooking cavity, the user needs to leave a certain gap between the door assembly and the main body to facilitate the discharge of the water vapor in the cooking cavity.

[0008] Furthermore, in order to allow a gap between the door assembly and the main body, the present application provides a positioning device on the door assembly. Specifically, one end of the door assembly is connected to the main body, and the positioning device is provided on the end of the door assembly away from the connection between the door assembly and the main body. The positioning device can position the door assembly so that the door assembly remains in an open position. When the door assembly is in the open position, there is a gap between the door assembly and the main body. At this time, the water vapor in the cooking cavity can be discharged to the outside through the gap between the door assembly and the main body, so as to reduce the humidity in the cooking cavity, improve the cooking effect, and avoid water accumulation in the cooking cavity.

[0009] Further, the structure of the positioning device is defined, wherein the positioning device includes a support assembly, and the support assembly can support the door body assembly so that the door body assembly is maintained in an open position. Specifically, the support assembly is movably connected to the door body assembly, and the support assembly can move relative to the door body assembly under the action of an external force, and when the user applies a force to the support assembly, the end of the support assembly that is away from the door body assembly can abut against the main body. Since one end of the support assembly is connected to the door body assembly and the other end abuts against the main body, the door body assembly can be supported by the support assembly so that the door body assembly is maintained in an open position, thereby forming a gap between the door body assembly and the main body for discharging water vapor, so that the water vapor in the cooking cavity can be discharged to the outside.

[0010] Specifically, the size range of the gap formed by the support assembly between the door assembly and the main body is 2 mm to 4 mm, and the angle range of the angle between the door assembly and the main body is 3.5° to 5°, thereby ensuring the dehumidification effect of the cooking cavity.

[0011] In a possible technical solution, after the cooking appliance has finished steaming the food, or before the cooking appliance is about to bake the food, the user opens the door and presses the support assembly, and the support assembly rotates relative to the door assembly under the pressure of the user until the end of the support assembly abuts against the body. At this time, the user does not need to apply force to the support assembly, the end of the support assembly fits tightly against the body, and a gap is formed between the door assembly and the body for discharging water vapor.

[0012] By providing a positioning device in the cooking box body, and providing a support assembly that can move relative to the door assembly in the positioning device, the support assembly can be moved to a position where it can abut against the body by applying an external force to the support assembly. In this way, one end of the support assembly abuts against the body, and the other end is connected to the door assembly. The support assembly supports the door assembly to form a gap between the door assembly and the body, so that the water vapor in the cooking cavity can be discharged to the outside through the gap between the door assembly and the body. The humidity in the cooking cavity is reduced, water accumulation in the cooking cavity is avoided, and the cooking effect of the cooking appliance on the food is improved.

[0013] The cooking box according to the present invention may also have the following distinguishing technical features:

[0014] In the above technical solution, further, the support assembly is rotatably connected to the door body assembly, and the support assembly can rotate between a first position and a second position. When the support assembly is in the first position, the end of the support assembly is against the main body. When the support assembly is in the second position, the support assembly avoids the main body, and the door body assembly can be buckled with the main body.

[0015] In this technical solution, the relationship between the support assembly and the door assembly is defined. The support assembly is rotatably connected to the door assembly, and the support assembly can rotate between a first position and a second position relative to the door assembly. When the support assembly is in a natural state (i.e., not subjected to external force), the support assembly is in the second position. At this time, the support assembly avoids the body, the door assembly can normally open or close the cooking cavity, and the support assembly will not interfere with the body. When the support assembly is in the second position and the door assembly closes the cooking cavity, the support assembly is located outside the body. When the support assembly is subjected to external pressure, the support assembly can rotate from the second position to the first position. At this time, one end of the support assembly away from the door assembly can abut against the body, so that the support assembly can support the door assembly to keep the door assembly in an open position, and a gap is formed between the door assembly and the body, and the water vapor in the cooking cavity can be discharged through the gap.

[0016] The process of discharging water vapor from the cooking cavity is as follows: after the cooking utensil has finished steaming the food, or before the cooking utensil is about to bake the food, the user opens the door body and presses the support assembly, and the support assembly rotates relative to the door body assembly under the pressure of the user until the support assembly rotates to the first position, and the end of the support assembly abuts against the body, so that a gap for discharging water vapor is formed between the door body assembly and the body. After the cooking cavity has finished discharging water vapor, the user can pull the door body assembly to rotate in a direction away from the body to separate the support assembly from the body, and then the support assembly can automatically return to the second position. When the support assembly is in the second position, the support assembly can avoid the body, and at this time, the door body assembly can be buckled with the body to close the cooking cavity.

[0017] By arranging the support assembly to be able to rotate around the door assembly between a first position and a second position, and making the support assembly abut against the main body when in the first position and avoiding the main body when in the second position, the door assembly can be supported by the user adjusting the position of the support assembly, so that a gap is left between the door assembly and the main body to facilitate the discharge of water vapor in the cooking cavity, and after the process of discharging water vapor is completed, the support assembly is adjusted back to the second position, so that the door assembly can be normally engaged with the main body to close the cooking cavity.

[0018] In the above technical solution, further, the door body assembly includes: a first door panel; a second door panel, connected to the first door panel, the second door panel is located between the first door panel and the main body, and the support assembly is connected to the second door panel; the positioning device also includes: a first elastic member, arranged on the side of the support assembly facing the first door panel, when the support assembly is in the first position, the first elastic member is compressed to support the support assembly to fit closely with the main body.

[0019] In this technical solution, the structure of the door body assembly and the structure of the positioning device are defined, wherein the door body assembly includes a first door panel and a second door panel, and the positioning device includes a first elastic member. When the supporting assembly is located in the first position to support the door body assembly, the first elastic member is squeezed by the first door panel and the supporting assembly, so that the first elastic member can form a thrust on the supporting assembly, so that the supporting assembly fits tightly with the main body, thereby enabling the supporting assembly to stably support the door body assembly.

[0020] Specifically, the second door panel is connected to the first door panel, and the second door panel is located on the side of the first door panel facing the main body, and the first door panel faces the outside. An operation panel is provided on the side of the first door panel facing the outside, and the user can control the cooking utensil through the operation panel to make the cooking utensil execute different programs. The first door panel is also provided with a glass partition, and the middle area of ​​the second door body is hollowed out. The user can observe the food in the cooking cavity through the glass partition to monitor the cooking process. Further, the support assembly is connected to the second door panel, and the support assembly can rotate between a first position and a second position relative to the second door panel. When the support assembly is in the first position, the end of the support assembly abuts against the main body. Since the support assembly is connected to the second door panel, the second door panel can be supported by the support assembly. Since the second door panel is connected to the first door panel, when the second door panel is fixed relative to the main body, the first door panel is also fixed relative to the main body, thereby achieving the support effect of the support assembly on the door body assembly.

[0021] In a possible technical solution, the first door panel and the second door panel are connected via a hinge.

[0022] Furthermore, in order to enable the support assembly to stably support the door body assembly, the present application also provides a first elastic member in the positioning device. The first elastic member is connected to one end of the support assembly facing the first door panel, and the first elastic member is located between the support assembly and the first door panel. When the support assembly rotates from the second position to the first position under the action of an external force, the support assembly drives the first elastic member to move toward the first door panel, and the first elastic member abuts against the first door panel until the support assembly rotates to the first position. At this time, the first elastic member is in a compressed state. Since the first elastic member is compressed and the first door panel is fixedly connected to the second door panel, the first elastic member forms a thrust on the support assembly in the direction toward the door body, so that the support assembly fits tightly with the body. In this way, the support assembly can stably support the door body assembly, thereby improving the overall stability of the cooking box.

[0023] Furthermore, when the support assembly is separated from the main body, there is no longer an external force between the main body and the support assembly that can overcome the thrust of the first elastic member. At this time, since the compressed first elastic member has a tendency to return to a natural state, the first elastic member pushes the support assembly to rotate in the direction toward the second position, so that the support assembly can automatically return to the second position.

[0024] In a possible technical solution, the first elastic member is configured as a spring.

[0025] By arranging a first elastic member in the positioning device and arranging the first elastic member between the support assembly and the first door panel, the first elastic member can form a thrust on the support assembly toward the body, so that the body and the first elastic member exert relative forces on the support assembly to clamp the support assembly, thereby improving the stability of the support assembly supporting the door assembly. In addition, the first elastic member can push the support assembly to automatically return to the second position without the user having to manually operate the support assembly, thereby improving the user's convenience.

[0026] In the above technical solution, further, the support assembly includes: a pressure plate, which is rotatably connected to the second door panel; a support plate, which is connected to the pressure plate, and the pressure plate can drive the support plate to rotate relative to the second door panel, the first end of the support plate can be abutted against the main body, and the first elastic member is arranged at the second end of the support plate facing the first door panel.

[0027] In this technical solution, the structure of the support assembly is further defined. The support assembly includes a pressing plate and a supporting plate, wherein the pressing plate is rotatably connected to the second door panel, the supporting plate is connected to the pressing plate, the first elastic member is provided on the supporting plate, the end of the supporting plate is closer to the body than the pressing plate, and the pressing plate can drive the supporting plate to rotate around the second door panel so that the supporting plate and the body are against each other.

[0028] Specifically, the first end of the support plate faces the body, the second end of the support plate faces the first door panel, and the first elastic member is disposed at the second end of the support plate. The pressure plate is located on the side of the support plate facing the outside, and the user can apply pressure to the pressure plate. The pressure applied by the user drives the support plate to rotate in the direction toward the first door panel. During the rotation of the support plate, the support plate drives the first elastic member to rotate in the direction toward the first door panel until the first end of the support plate abuts against the body. At this time, the first elastic member is squeezed by the first door panel and the support plate, and the first elastic member applies a thrust to the support plate toward the side of the body, so that the support plate is subjected to the thrust from the first elastic member and the body. The first elastic member and the body clamp the support plate so that the support plate can stably support the door assembly.

[0029] Furthermore, when the first end of the support plate is separated from the main body, the support plate can rotate in a direction away from the first door panel under the thrust of the first elastic member to restore the support plate to its original position. At this time, the support assembly can avoid the main body, and the door assembly can normally snap into place at the opening of the main body to close the cooking cavity.

[0030] By arranging a pressure plate and a support plate in the support assembly, it is convenient for a user to press the pressure plate, and the pressure plate drives the support plate to rotate, so as to realize the supporting effect of the support assembly on the door body assembly.

[0031] In the above technical solution, further, the support plate is provided with a mounting member, the mounting member is provided with a first mounting hole, the pressure plate is provided with a connecting plate, the connecting plate is inserted into the first mounting hole, and the first elastic member is provided on a side of the mounting member facing the first door panel.

[0032] In this technical solution, the connection structure between the support plate and the pressure plate is defined. The support plate is provided with a mounting member, and the mounting member is provided with a first mounting hole. Specifically, the support plate includes a bending plate with an arc-shaped bend, and the mounting member is constructed as a plate-like structure, and the mounting member is connected to the side of the bending plate facing away from the outside. The pressure plate includes a pressing portion, and the connecting plate is fixedly connected to the pressing portion, and the connecting plate is located on the side of the pressing portion facing away from the outside. The connecting plate is inserted into the first mounting hole to connect the pressure plate to the support plate.

[0033] Specifically, when it is necessary to discharge the water vapor in the cooking cavity, the user presses the pressing portion provided on the pressing plate, and since the pressing plate is rotatably connected to the second door body, the pressing portion can drive the connecting plate to rotate in the direction toward the first door panel. Since the connecting plate of the pressing plate is inserted into the first mounting hole of the supporting plate, the connecting plate can drive the mounting member to move in the direction toward the first door panel, and then drive the bending plate fixedly connected to the mounting member to rotate, so that the first end of the supporting plate can abut against the body.

[0034] Furthermore, the first elastic member is arranged on the side of the mounting member facing the first door panel, and when the connecting plate drives the mounting member to move toward the first door panel, the first elastic member is squeezed by the first door panel and the mounting member until the first end of the support plate abuts against the body, and the first elastic member is in a compressed state. After the support plate is separated from the door body, the compressed first elastic member has a tendency to return to a natural state, thereby pushing the mounting member to move in a direction away from the first door panel, and the mounting member drives the connecting plate inserted in the first mounting hole to move, so that the support assembly returns to the second position.

[0035] By setting a mounting piece with a first mounting hole in the support plate, and setting a connecting plate inserted into the first mounting hole in the pressure plate, the support plate and the pressure plate can be connected through the connecting plate and the mounting piece, and then the support plate is driven to move through the pressure plate to realize the rotation of the support assembly between the first position and the second position.

[0036] In the above technical solution, further, the cooking box body also includes: a plurality of rotating shafts, respectively provided at both ends of the pressure plate; a plurality of rotating shaft grooves, provided on the second door panel, and the rotating shafts are rotatably installed in the corresponding rotating shaft grooves.

[0037] In this technical solution, the structure of the cooking box is further defined. In order to realize the rotational connection between the support assembly and the door body assembly, a plurality of rotating shafts and a plurality of rotating shaft grooves are further provided in the cooking box. Among them, the plurality of rotating shafts are respectively provided at both ends of the pressing plate, the number of the rotating shaft grooves is the same as the number of the rotating shafts, and the rotating shaft grooves are provided in a one-to-one correspondence with the rotating shafts. Specifically, any rotating shaft can be rotatably installed in the corresponding rotating shaft groove, thereby realizing the rotational connection between the pressing plate and the second door panel. Since the pressing plate can drive the support plate to move, when the pressing plate rotates relative to the second door panel, the pressing plate can drive the support plate to rotate relative to the second door panel, thereby realizing the rotational connection between the support assembly and the door body assembly.

[0038] In a possible technical solution, there are two rotating shafts and rotating shaft grooves, the two rotating shafts are respectively arranged at two ends of the pressure plate, the two rotating shaft grooves are both arranged on the second door panel, and the rotating shaft grooves and the rotating shafts are arranged correspondingly.

[0039] By setting a rotating shaft at both ends of the pressure plate and setting a corresponding rotating shaft groove on the second door panel, the rotational connection between the rotating shaft and the rotating shaft groove can be realized, thereby realizing the rotational connection between the support assembly and the door body assembly, so that the support assembly can rotate between the first position and the second position relative to the door body assembly.

[0040] In the above technical solution, further, the cooking box body also includes: a mounting groove, which is arranged on the second door panel, and the shaft groove is arranged on the side wall of the mounting groove, and at least part of the supporting assembly is located in the mounting groove.

[0041] In this technical solution, the structure of the cooking box is further defined. The cooking box also includes a mounting groove, which is used to accommodate the support assembly. Specifically, the mounting groove is provided on the second door panel, the shaft groove is provided on the groove walls on both sides of the mounting groove, and the shaft provided on the pressure plate is installed in the corresponding mounting groove, so that at least part of the support assembly is located in the mounting groove. On the one hand, it can reduce the space occupied by the support assembly, reduce the volume of the support assembly protruding from the door assembly, and reduce the possibility of the support assembly colliding with other objects in the surrounding environment. On the other hand, it can provide a rotatable space for the support assembly so that the support assembly can rotate normally relative to the door assembly.

[0042] In the above technical solution, further, the door body assembly also includes: a third door panel, connected to the second door panel, the third door panel is located on the side of the second door panel facing the main body, the third door panel is provided with a through hole, and the support plate passes through the through hole.

[0043] In this technical solution, the structure of the door assembly is further defined, and the door assembly also includes a third door panel, which is connected to the second door panel and is located on the side of the second door panel facing the main body. The third door panel is provided with a glass partition, through which the user can observe the food in the cooking cavity, so as to monitor the cooking process.

[0044] In a possible technical solution, the third door panel and the first door panel are both connected to the second door panel via hinges.

[0045] Furthermore, a through hole is provided on the third door panel, and a support plate in the support assembly is passed through the through hole. Specifically, the support plate can move relative to the third door body in the through hole under the drive of the pressure plate. There is a spacing between the support plate and the hole wall of the through hole, and when the support assembly rotates between the first position and the second position, the support plate moves in the through hole. When the user presses the pressure plate, the pressure plate drives the support plate to move in the direction toward the first door body, and at the same time, the support plate moves in the vertical direction in the direction toward the main body until the end of the support plate can abut against the main body. When the support plate is separated from the main body, the first elastic member pushes the support plate to move in the direction away from the first door body, and at the same time, the support plate moves in the vertical direction in the direction away from the main body until the support assembly returns to the second position, at which time, the support assembly can avoid the main body.

[0046] By arranging a third door panel on the side of the second door panel facing the main body, the third door panel can protect the second door panel, thereby preventing the water vapor in the cooking cavity from causing damage to the second door panel and extending the service life of the door assembly. By arranging a through hole on the third door panel, the support plate can pass through the through hole and abut against the main body, thereby achieving the supporting function of the support assembly on the door assembly.

[0047] In the above technical solution, further, there are multiple first elastic members.

[0048] In this technical solution, the first elastic member is further defined. Specifically, there are multiple first elastic members, and the multiple first elastic members are squeezed by the first door panel and the support plate at the same time, so that the thrust of the first elastic member on the support member can be increased, so that the support plate and the body fit more closely, and the stability of the support assembly supporting the door body assembly is improved. Furthermore, the multiple first elastic members can apply thrust to the support plate through multiple support points, so that the force on the support plate is more balanced, and the stability of the support assembly supporting the door body assembly is further improved.

[0049] In a possible technical solution, the number of the first elastic members is two, and the two first elastic members are respectively arranged in areas close to two ends of the mounting member along the horizontal direction.

[0050] By setting the number of first elastic members to be multiple, on the one hand, the thrust of the first elastic member on the support plate can be increased, so that the support plate can fit more closely with the main body; on the other hand, the force on the support plate can be more balanced, so that the support assembly can support the door body assembly more stably, thereby improving the stability of the door body assembly.

[0051] In the above technical solution, further, the door body assembly includes: a second mounting hole, the support assembly is passed through the second mounting hole, and the support assembly can move in the second mounting hole in the direction toward and away from the main body; the first end of the support assembly protrudes from the door body assembly toward the end away from the main body, and the second end of the support assembly can be against the main body.

[0052] In this technical solution, another structure of the support assembly and the door assembly is defined. The door assembly is provided with a second mounting hole, the support assembly is inserted into the second mounting hole and can abut against the main body, and the user can push the support assembly to move toward the main body. After the support assembly abuts against the main body, the user continues to apply thrust to the support assembly. At this time, the support assembly has a tendency to continue to move in the direction toward the main body, but because the main body limits the support assembly, the support assembly cannot continue to move. Therefore, the door assembly is pushed open, and because the support assembly is supported between the main body and the door assembly, a gap is left between the main body and the door assembly, and the water vapor in the cooking cavity can be discharged through the gap.

[0053] Specifically, the first end of the support assembly protrudes from the door assembly toward the end away from the main body, so that the user can press the support assembly. When the user presses the first end of the support assembly, the second end of the support assembly moves in the direction toward the main body until the second end of the support assembly abuts against the main body. At this time, there is a gap between the door assembly and the main body, and the support assembly supports the door assembly to keep the door in the open position.

[0054] By setting a second mounting hole in the door body assembly and setting the support assembly to be able to move in the second mounting hole in a direction toward and away from the main body, the support assembly can be pushed by the user to abut against the main body to support the door body assembly and keep the door body assembly in an open position, thereby leaving a gap between the door body assembly and the main body so that water vapor in the cooking cavity can be discharged through the gap, thereby reducing the air humidity in the cooking cavity and avoiding water accumulation in the cooking cavity.

[0055] In the above technical solution, further, the positioning device also includes: a limit platform, which is arranged on the hole wall of the second mounting hole; the support assembly includes: a support member, which can move between a third position and a fourth position; a pushing member, which abuts against one end of the support member away from the main body, and the pushing member is used to push the support member to move; when the support member is located in the third position, the first end of the support member abuts against the main body, and the second end of the support member away from the first end abuts against the limit platform, so that the support member remains in the third position.

[0056] In this technical solution, the structure of the positioning device is further defined. The positioning device includes a limit platform, and the support assembly includes a support member and a push member, wherein the limit platform is arranged on the hole wall of the second mounting hole, and the limit platform is used to limit the support assembly to fix the support assembly. Furthermore, the support member abuts against the push member, and the push member can push the support member to move between the third position and the fourth position. Specifically, the push member abuts against the first end of the support member away from the main body, and the user can apply a thrust toward the main body to the push member to push the support member toward the main body through the push member.

[0057] Furthermore, when the support member is located at the third position, the first end of the support member abuts against the body, and the second end of the support member away from the first end abuts against the limit platform, and the limit platform limits the support member so that the support member remains at the third position. In this way, the support assembly can stably support the door assembly.

[0058] By providing a limit platform in the positioning device, the support member can be limited by the limit platform so that the support member is maintained in the third position capable of supporting the door body assembly, so that the support assembly can stably support the door body assembly.

[0059] In the above technical solution, further, the positioning device also includes: a slideway, which is arranged on the hole wall of the second mounting hole, and the limit platform is arranged at the end of the slideway facing the main body, and the support member can slide along the slideway.

[0060] In this technical solution, a slideway is further provided in the positioning device, the slideway is provided on the hole wall of the second mounting hole, and the support member can slide along the slideway. A limit platform is provided at the end of the slideway, and when the support member slides along the slideway to the end, the second end of the support member abuts against the limit platform, and at this time, the support member is located at the third position.

[0061] By arranging a slideway on the hole wall of the second mounting hole, the support member can slide along the slideway to the third position, thereby reducing the resistance to the movement of the support member and making it easier for the user to push the support assembly to move.

[0062] In the above technical solution, the positioning device further includes: a second elastic member, which is located in the second mounting hole and is sleeved on the support member; the support member is provided with a boss, and the two ends of the second elastic member are respectively against the boss and the end face of the second mounting hole; when the support member is in the third position, the second elastic member is compressed, and the second elastic member can push the support member to move to the fourth position.

[0063] In this technical solution, a second elastic member is also provided in the positioning device, and the second elastic member is sleeved on the support member and located in the second mounting hole. One end of the second elastic member abuts against the hole wall of the second mounting hole, and the other end abuts against the boss provided on the support member, so that the second support member can be axially limited. When the support member moves in the direction toward the body, the second elastic member is gradually compressed until the support member moves to the third position. At this time, the limiting platform axially limits the support member, and the support member cannot continue to move, and the second elastic member is in a compressed state. In the case where the user needs to close the cooking cavity with the door body assembly, the user can apply a force in the direction of the body to the push member, and the push member pushes the support member to move toward the body, and the support member is separated from the limiting platform. After that, the support member returns to the slideway, and the second elastic member pushes the support member to move in the direction away from the body, and the support member returns to the fourth position. At this time, the support member is separated from the body, and the door body assembly can normally close the cooking cavity.

[0064] In a possible technical solution, the second elastic member is configured as a spring.

[0065] By arranging a second elastic member in the positioning device, the second elastic member can apply a thrust in a direction away from the main body to the support member, so that the support member can automatically return to the fourth position, so that the door assembly can normally close the cooking cavity.

[0066] The second aspect of the present invention further provides a cooking appliance, comprising the cooking box provided by the first aspect of the present invention.

[0067] The cooking appliance provided in the second aspect of the present invention comprises the cooking box provided in the first aspect of the present invention, and thus has all the beneficial effects of the cooking box.

[0068] The cooking appliance may be any one of a steam oven, an oven or a steam box.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0097] In order to more clearly understand the above-mentioned purpose, features and advantages of the present invention, the present invention is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. It should be noted that the embodiments of the present application and the features in the embodiments can be combined with each other without conflict.

[0098] In the following description, many specific details are set forth to facilitate a full understanding of the present invention. However, the present invention may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein. Therefore, the protection scope of the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0099] Refer to the following Figures 1 to 22 A cooking cabinet 100 and a cooking appliance 200 provided according to some embodiments of the present invention are described.

[0100] In one embodiment according to the present application, Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 , Fig. 9 , Fig.14 , Fig.15 , Fig.18 , Fig.19 , Fig. 20 and Fig.21 As shown, the first aspect of the present invention proposes a cooking box 100, comprising: a main body 110, including a cooking cavity 111; a door body assembly 120, movably connected to the main body 110, the door body assembly 120 is used to open or close the cooking cavity 111; a positioning device 130, arranged on the door body assembly 120, the positioning device 130 is used to keep the door body assembly 120 in an open position so that there is a gap between the door body assembly 120 and the main body 110, the positioning device 130 comprises: a support assembly 140, movably arranged on the door body assembly 120, the end of the support assembly 140 can be abutted against the main body 110 to keep the door body assembly 120 in an open position.

[0101] like Fig.16 As shown, the cooking box 100 proposed in the present application includes a body 110 and a door assembly 120 connected to the body 110, wherein the body 110 includes a cooking cavity 111, the cooking cavity 111 is used to accommodate food, and the cooking box 100 can be used in a cooking utensil 200, and the cooking utensil 200 can cook the food placed in the cooking cavity 111. Fig.10 , Fig.11 As shown, the door assembly 120 is connected to the opening of the body 110, and the door assembly 120 is used to open or close the cooking cavity 111. Specifically, the door assembly 120 is rotatably connected to the body 110, and the door assembly 120 can be rotated between various positions to open or close the cooking cavity 111. It can be understood that after the cooking utensil 200 completes the cooking of the food, for example, the cooking utensil 200 steams the food, a large amount of water vapor will remain in the cooking cavity 111. If the door assembly 120 closes the cooking cavity 111, it is easy to cause water accumulation in the cooking cavity 111, thereby breeding bacteria or generating odor. In another possible working scenario, when the user needs to use the cooking utensil 200 to bake the food, if the humidity in the cooking cavity 111 is high, it is easy to cause the baking effect of the food to be poor. In order to reduce the humidity in the cooking cavity 111, the user needs to leave a certain gap between the door assembly 120 and the body 110 so that the water vapor in the cooking cavity 111 can be discharged.

[0102] like Fig.15 As shown, further, in order to leave a gap between the door assembly 120 and the body 110, the present application provides a positioning device 130 on the door assembly 120. Specifically, one end of the door assembly 120 is connected to the body 110, and the positioning device 130 is provided on the door assembly 120 away from the end of the door assembly 120 connected to the body 110. The positioning device 130 can position the door assembly 120 so that the door assembly 120 remains in the open position. When the door assembly 120 is in the open position, there is a gap between the door assembly 120 and the body 110. At this time, the water vapor in the cooking cavity 111 can be discharged to the outside through the gap between the door assembly 120 and the body 110, so as to reduce the humidity in the cooking cavity 111, improve the cooking effect, and avoid water accumulation in the cooking cavity 111.

[0103] like Fig.12 , Fig.13 , Fig.17 and Fig. 22As shown, the structure of the positioning device 130 is further defined, wherein the positioning device 130 includes a support assembly 140, and the support assembly 140 can support the door assembly 120 so that the door assembly 120 is kept in an open position. Specifically, the support assembly 140 is movably connected to the door assembly 120, and the support assembly 140 can move relative to the door assembly 120 under the action of an external force. When the user applies a force to the support assembly 140, the end of the support assembly 140 that is away from the door assembly 120 can be against the body 110. Since one end of the support assembly 140 is connected to the door assembly 120 and the other end is against the body 110, the door assembly 120 can be supported by the support assembly 140 so that the door assembly 120 is kept in an open position, thereby forming a gap for discharging water vapor between the door assembly 120 and the body 110, so that the water vapor in the cooking cavity 111 can be discharged to the outside.

[0104] Specifically, the size range of the gap formed by the support assembly 140 between the door assembly 120 and the main body 110 is 2 mm to 4 mm, and the angle range of the angle between the door assembly 120 and the main body 110 is 3.5° to 5°, thereby ensuring the dehumidification effect of the cooking cavity 111.

[0105] In a possible embodiment, after the cooking device 200 finishes steaming the food, or before the cooking device 200 is about to bake the food, the user opens the door and presses the support assembly 140. Under the pressure of the user, the support assembly 140 rotates relative to the door assembly 120 until the end of the support assembly 140 abuts against the body 110. At this time, the user does not need to apply force to the support assembly 140, the end of the support assembly 140 is tightly fitted with the body 110, and a gap for discharging water vapor is formed between the door assembly 120 and the body 110.

[0106] By providing a positioning device 130 in the cooking box 100, and providing a support assembly 140 that can move relative to the door assembly 120 in the positioning device 130, an external force can be applied to the support assembly 140 to move the support assembly 140 to a position where it can abut against the body 110. In this way, one end of the support assembly 140 abuts against the body 110, and the other end is connected to the door assembly 120. The support assembly 140 supports the door assembly 120 to form a gap between the door assembly 120 and the body 110, so that the water vapor in the cooking cavity 111 can be discharged to the outside through the gap between the door assembly 120 and the body 110. The humidity in the cooking cavity 111 is reduced, water accumulation in the cooking cavity 111 is avoided, and the cooking effect of the cooking appliance 200 on the food is improved.

[0107] In one embodiment according to the present application, Figure 5, Figure 6 , Fig.13 , Fig.14 , Fig.15 , Fig.16 and Fig.17 As shown, the support assembly 140 is rotatably connected to the door body assembly 120, and the support assembly 140 can rotate between a first position and a second position. When the support assembly 140 is located at the first position, the end of the support assembly 140 is against the main body 110. When the support assembly 140 is located at the second position, the support assembly 140 avoids the main body 110, and the door body assembly 120 can be snapped into the main body 110.

[0108] In this embodiment, the relationship between the support assembly 140 and the door assembly 120 is defined. The support assembly 140 is rotatably connected to the door assembly 120, and the support assembly 140 can rotate between a first position and a second position relative to the door assembly 120. When the support assembly 140 is in a natural state (i.e., not subjected to external force), the support assembly 140 is in the second position, at which time the support assembly 140 avoids the body 110, the door assembly 120 can normally open or close the cooking cavity 111, and the support assembly 140 does not interfere with the body 110. When the support assembly 140 is in the second position and the door assembly 120 closes the cooking cavity 111, the support assembly 140 is located outside the body 110. When the support assembly 140 is subjected to external pressure, the support assembly 140 can rotate from the second position to the first position. At this time, the end of the support assembly 140 that is away from the door body assembly 120 can be against the main body 110, so that the support assembly 140 can support the door body assembly 120 to keep the door body assembly 120 in the open position. A gap is formed between the door body assembly 120 and the main body 110, and the water vapor in the cooking cavity 111 can be discharged through the gap.

[0109] The process of discharging water vapor from the cooking cavity 111 is as follows: after the cooking utensil 200 completes steaming the food, or before the cooking utensil 200 is to bake the food, the user opens the door and presses the support assembly 140. Under the pressure of the user, the support assembly 140 rotates relative to the door assembly 120 until the support assembly 140 rotates to the first position, and the end of the support assembly 140 abuts against the body 110, so that a gap for discharging water vapor is formed between the door assembly 120 and the body 110. After the cooking cavity 111 completes the process of discharging water vapor, the user can pull the door assembly 120 to rotate in a direction away from the body 110 to separate the support assembly 140 from the body 110, and then the support assembly 140 can automatically return to the second position. When the support assembly 140 is in the second position, the support assembly 140 can avoid the body 110. At this time, the door assembly 120 can be buckled with the body 110 to close the cooking cavity 111.

[0110] By configuring the support assembly 140 to be rotatable around the door assembly 120 between a first position and a second position, and allowing the support assembly 140 to abut against the main body 110 when in the first position, and allowing the support assembly 140 to avoid the main body 110 when in the second position, the door assembly 120 can be supported by the user adjusting the position of the support assembly 140, so that a gap is left between the door assembly 120 and the main body 110 to facilitate the discharge of water vapor in the cooking cavity 111, and after the process of discharging water vapor is completed, the support assembly 140 is adjusted back to the second position, so that the door assembly 120 can be normally engaged with the main body 110 to close the cooking cavity 111.

[0111] In one embodiment according to the present application, Figure 7 As shown, the door body assembly 120 includes: a first door panel 121; a second door panel 122, which is connected to the first door panel 121, the second door panel 122 is located between the first door panel 121 and the main body 110, and the support assembly 140 is connected to the second door panel 122; the positioning device 130 also includes: a first elastic member 131, which is arranged on the side of the support assembly 140 facing the first door panel 121, and when the support assembly 140 is in the first position, the first elastic member 131 is compressed to support the support assembly 140 to fit closely with the main body 110.

[0112] In this embodiment, the structure of the door body assembly 120 and the structure of the positioning device 130 are defined, wherein the door body assembly 120 includes a first door panel 121 and a second door panel 122, and the positioning device 130 includes a first elastic member 131. When the support assembly 140 is located at the first position to support the door body assembly 120, the first elastic member 131 is squeezed by the first door panel 121 and the support assembly 140, so that the first elastic member 131 can form a thrust on the support assembly 140, so that the support assembly 140 is tightly fitted with the main body 110, and then the support assembly 140 can stably support the door body assembly 120.

[0113] Specifically, the second door panel 122 is connected to the first door panel 121, and the second door panel 122 is located on the side of the first door panel 121 facing the body 110, and the first door panel 121 faces the outside. An operation panel is provided on the side of the first door panel 121 facing the outside, and the user can control the cooking utensil 200 through the operation panel to make the cooking utensil 200 execute different programs. The first door panel 121 is also provided with a glass partition, and the middle area of ​​the second door body is hollowed out. The user can observe the food in the cooking cavity 111 through the glass partition to monitor the cooking process. Further, the support assembly 140 is connected to the second door panel 122, and the support assembly 140 can rotate between a first position and a second position relative to the second door panel 122. When the support assembly 140 is located at the first position, the end of the support assembly 140 is against the main body 110. Since the support assembly 140 is connected to the second door panel 122, the second door panel 122 can be supported by the support assembly 140. Since the second door panel 122 is connected to the first door panel 121, when the second door panel 122 is fixed relative to the main body 110, the first door panel 121 is also fixed relative to the main body 110, thereby achieving the supporting effect of the support assembly 140 on the door body assembly 120.

[0114] In a possible embodiment, the first door panel 121 and the second door panel 122 are connected via a hinge 124 .

[0115] Furthermore, in order to enable the support assembly 140 to stably support the door body assembly 120, the present application further provides a first elastic member 131 in the positioning device 130. The first elastic member 131 is connected to one end of the support assembly 140 facing the first door panel 121, and the first elastic member 131 is located between the support assembly 140 and the first door panel 121. When the support assembly 140 rotates from the second position to the first position under the action of an external force, the support assembly 140 drives the first elastic member 131 to move toward the first door panel 121, and the first elastic member 131 abuts against the first door panel 121 until the support assembly 140 rotates to the first position. At this time, the first elastic member 131 is in a compressed state. Since the first elastic member 131 is compressed and the first door panel 121 is fixedly connected to the second door panel 122, the first elastic member 131 forms a thrust on the support assembly 140 in the direction toward the door body, so that the support assembly 140 is closely fitted with the body 110. In this way, the support assembly 140 can stably support the door assembly 120 , thereby improving the overall stability of the cooking box 100 .

[0116] Furthermore, when the support assembly 140 is separated from the main body 110, there is no longer an external force between the main body 110 and the support assembly 140 that can overcome the thrust of the first elastic member 131. At this time, since the compressed first elastic member 131 has a tendency to return to a natural state, the first elastic member 131 pushes the support assembly 140 to rotate in the direction toward the second position, so that the support assembly 140 can automatically return to the second position.

[0117] In a possible embodiment, the first elastic member 131 is configured as a spring.

[0118] By arranging the first elastic member 131 in the positioning device 130 and arranging the first elastic member 131 between the support assembly 140 and the first door panel 121, the first elastic member 131 can form a thrust on the support assembly 140 toward the body 110, so that the body 110 and the first elastic member 131 exert relative forces on the support assembly 140 to clamp the support assembly 140, thereby improving the stability of the support assembly 140 supporting the door assembly 120. In addition, the first elastic member 131 can push the support assembly 140 to automatically return to the second position, without the user having to manually operate the support assembly 140, thereby improving the user's convenience.

[0119] In one embodiment according to the present application, Fig.12 , Fig.13 , Fig.16 and Fig.17 As shown, the support assembly 140 includes: a pressure plate 141, which is rotatably connected to the second door panel 122; a support plate 142, which is connected to the pressure plate 141, and the pressure plate 141 can drive the support plate 142 to rotate relative to the second door panel 122, and the first end of the support plate 142 can be abutted against the main body 110, and the first elastic member 131 is arranged at the second end of the support plate 142 facing the first door panel 121.

[0120] In this embodiment, the structure of the support assembly 140 is further defined. The support assembly 140 includes a pressing plate 141 and a supporting plate 142, wherein the pressing plate 141 is rotatably connected to the second door panel 122, the supporting plate 142 is connected to the pressing plate 141, the first elastic member 131 is disposed on the supporting plate 142, and the end of the supporting plate 142 is closer to the body 110 than the pressing plate 141, and the pressing plate 141 can drive the supporting plate 142 to rotate around the second door panel 122 so that the supporting plate 142 and the body 110 are against each other.

[0121] Specifically, the first end of the support plate 142 faces the body 110, the second end of the support plate 142 faces the first door panel 121, and the first elastic member 131 is disposed at the second end of the support plate 142. The pressing plate 141 is located on the side of the support plate 142 facing the outside, and the user can apply pressure to the pressing plate 141, and the pressure applied by the user to the pressing plate 141 drives the support plate 142 to rotate in the direction toward the first door panel 121. During the rotation of the support plate 142, the support plate 142 drives the first elastic member 131 to rotate in the direction toward the first door panel 121 until the first end of the support plate 142 is against the main body 110. At this time, the first elastic member 131 is squeezed by the first door panel 121 and the support plate 142, and the first elastic member 131 applies a thrust to the support plate 142 along the side toward the main body 110, so that the support plate 142 is subjected to the thrust from the first elastic member 131 and the main body 110. The first elastic member 131 and the main body 110 clamp the support plate 142 so that the support plate 142 can firmly support the door body assembly 120.

[0122] Furthermore, when the first end of the support plate 142 is separated from the main body 110, the support plate 142 can be rotated in a direction away from the first door panel 121 under the thrust of the first elastic member 131 so that the support plate 142 returns to its original position. At this time, the support assembly 140 can avoid the main body 110, and the door body assembly 120 can be normally engaged with the opening of the main body 110 to close the cooking cavity 111.

[0123] By providing the pressing plate 141 and the supporting plate 142 in the supporting assembly 140 , the user can press the pressing plate 141 conveniently, and drive the supporting plate 142 to rotate through the pressing plate 141 , so as to realize the supporting function of the supporting assembly 140 on the door assembly 120 .

[0124] In one embodiment according to the present application, Figure 7 , Fig.13 and Fig.17 As shown, the support plate 142 is provided with a mounting member 143, the mounting member 143 is provided with a first mounting hole 144, the pressure plate 141 is provided with a connecting plate 145, the connecting plate 145 is inserted into the first mounting hole 144, and the first elastic member 131 is provided on the side of the mounting member 143 facing the first door panel 121.

[0125] In this embodiment, the connection structure between the support plate 142 and the pressing plate 141 is defined. The support plate 142 is provided with a mounting member 143, and the mounting member 143 is provided with a first mounting hole 144. Specifically, the support plate 142 includes a bending plate with an arc bend, and the mounting member 143 is constructed as a plate-like structure, and the mounting member 143 is connected to the side of the bending plate facing away from the outside. The pressing plate 141 includes a pressing portion, and a connecting plate 145 is fixedly connected to the pressing portion, and the connecting plate 145 is located on the side of the pressing portion facing away from the outside. The connecting plate 145 is inserted into the first mounting hole 144 to connect the pressing plate 141 with the support plate 142.

[0126] Specifically, when it is necessary to discharge the water vapor in the cooking cavity 111, the user presses the pressing portion provided on the pressing plate 141. Since the pressing plate 141 is rotatably connected to the second door body, the pressing portion can drive the connecting plate 145 to rotate in the direction toward the first door panel 121. Since the connecting plate 145 of the pressing plate 141 is inserted into the first mounting hole 144 of the supporting plate 142, the connecting plate 145 can drive the mounting member 143 to move in the direction toward the first door panel 121, and then drive the bending plate fixedly connected to the mounting member 143 to rotate, so that the first end of the supporting plate 142 can abut against the body 110.

[0127] Further, the first elastic member 131 is arranged on the side of the mounting member 143 facing the first door panel 121. When the connecting plate 145 drives the mounting member 143 to move toward the first door panel 121, the first elastic member 131 is squeezed by the first door panel 121 and the mounting member 143 until the first end of the support plate 142 abuts against the body 110, and the first elastic member 131 is in a compressed state. After the support plate 142 is separated from the door body, the compressed first elastic member 131 has a tendency to return to a natural state, thereby pushing the mounting member 143 to move in a direction away from the first door panel 121, and the mounting member 143 drives the connecting plate 145 inserted in the first mounting hole 144 to move, so that the support assembly 140 returns to the second position.

[0128] By setting a mounting member 143 with a first mounting hole 144 in the support plate 142, and setting a connecting plate 145 inserted into the first mounting hole 144 in the pressure plate 141, the support plate 142 can be connected to the pressure plate 141 through the connecting plate 145 and the mounting member 143, and then the support plate 142 can be driven to move through the pressure plate 141 to realize the rotation of the support assembly 140 between the first position and the second position.

[0129] In one embodiment according to the present application, Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the cooking box 100 further includes: a plurality of rotating shafts 146 , respectively disposed at both ends of the pressing plate 141 ; a plurality of rotating shaft grooves 125 , disposed on the second door panel 122 , and the rotating shafts 146 are rotatably installed in the corresponding rotating shaft grooves 125 .

[0130] In this embodiment, the structure of the cooking box 100 is further defined. In order to realize the rotational connection between the support assembly 140 and the door assembly 120, a plurality of rotating shafts 146 and a plurality of rotating shaft grooves 125 are further provided in the cooking box 100. Among them, the plurality of rotating shafts 146 are respectively provided at both ends of the pressing plate 141, the number of the rotating shaft grooves 125 is the same as the number of the rotating shafts 146, and the rotating shaft grooves 125 and the rotating shafts 146 are provided one by one. Specifically, any rotating shaft 146 can be rotatably installed in the corresponding rotating shaft groove 125, so as to realize the rotational connection between the pressing plate 141 and the second door panel 122. Since the pressing plate 141 can drive the support plate 142 to move, when the pressing plate 141 rotates relative to the second door panel 122, the pressing plate 141 can drive the support plate 142 to rotate relative to the second door panel 122, thereby realizing the rotational connection between the support assembly 140 and the door assembly 120.

[0131] In a possible embodiment, there are two rotating shafts 146 and two rotating shaft grooves 125 , the two rotating shafts 146 are respectively disposed at both ends of the pressure plate 141 , the two rotating shaft grooves 125 are both disposed on the second door panel 122 , and the rotating shaft grooves 125 and the rotating shaft 146 are disposed correspondingly.

[0132] By setting a rotating shaft 146 at both ends of the pressure plate 141 and setting a corresponding rotating shaft groove 125 on the second door panel 122, the rotational connection between the rotating shaft 146 and the rotating shaft groove 125 can be realized, thereby realizing the rotational connection between the support assembly 140 and the door body assembly 120, so that the support assembly 140 can rotate between the first position and the second position relative to the door body assembly 120.

[0133] In one embodiment according to the present application, Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the cooking box 100 further includes: a mounting groove 126 disposed on the second door panel 122 , a rotating shaft groove 125 disposed on a side wall of the mounting groove 126 , and at least a portion of the supporting assembly 140 is located in the mounting groove 126 .

[0134] In this embodiment, the structure of the cooking box 100 is further defined. The cooking box 100 further includes a mounting groove 126, which is used to accommodate the support assembly 140. Specifically, the mounting groove 126 is provided on the second door panel 122, the shaft groove 125 is provided on the groove walls on both sides of the mounting groove 126, and the shaft 146 provided on the pressing plate 141 is installed in the corresponding mounting groove 126, so that at least part of the support assembly 140 is located in the mounting groove 126. On the one hand, it can reduce the space occupied by the support assembly 140, reduce the volume of the support assembly 140 protruding from the door assembly 120, and reduce the possibility of the support assembly 140 colliding with other objects in the surrounding environment. On the other hand, it can provide a rotatable space for the support assembly 140, so that the support assembly 140 can rotate normally relative to the door assembly 120.

[0135] In one embodiment according to the present application, Figure 7 As shown, the door body assembly 120 also includes: a third door panel 123 connected to the second door panel 122 , the third door panel 123 is located on the side of the second door panel 122 facing the body 110 , the third door panel 123 is provided with a through hole 127 , and the support plate 142 passes through the through hole 127 .

[0136] In this embodiment, the structure of the door assembly 120 is further defined, and the door assembly 120 further includes a third door panel 123, which is connected to the second door panel 122 and is located on the side of the second door panel 122 facing the body 110. The third door panel 123 is provided with a glass partition, and the user can observe the food in the cooking cavity 111 through the glass partition, so as to monitor the cooking process.

[0137] In a possible embodiment, the third door panel 123 and the first door panel 121 are both connected to the second door panel 122 via a hinge 124 .

[0138] Further, a through hole 127 is provided on the third door panel 123, and a support plate 142 in the support assembly 140 is passed through the through hole 127. Specifically, the support plate 142 can move relative to the third door body in the through hole 127 under the drive of the pressing plate 141. There is a gap between the support plate 142 and the hole wall of the through hole 127, and when the support assembly 140 rotates between the first position and the second position, the support plate 142 moves in the through hole 127. When the user presses the pressing plate 141, the pressing plate 141 drives the support plate 142 to move in the direction toward the first door body, and at the same time, the support plate 142 moves in the vertical direction in the direction toward the body 110 until the end of the support plate 142 can abut against the body 110. When the support plate 142 is separated from the main body 110, the first elastic member 131 pushes the support plate 142 to move in a direction away from the first door body. At the same time, the support plate 142 moves in a vertical direction away from the main body 110 until the support assembly 140 returns to the second position. At this time, the support assembly 140 can avoid the main body 110.

[0139] By arranging the third door panel 123 on the side of the second door panel 122 facing the body 110, the third door panel 123 can protect the second door panel 122, thereby preventing the water vapor in the cooking cavity 111 from causing damage to the second door panel 122, and extending the service life of the door assembly 120. By arranging the through hole 127 on the third door panel 123, the support plate 142 can pass through the through hole 127 and abut against the body 110, thereby achieving the supporting function of the support assembly 140 on the door assembly 120.

[0140] In one embodiment according to the present application, Figure 7 As shown, there are multiple first elastic members 131 .

[0141] In this embodiment, the first elastic member 131 is further defined. Specifically, the number of the first elastic members 131 is multiple, and the multiple first elastic members 131 are squeezed by the first door panel 121 and the support plate 142 at the same time, so that the thrust of the first elastic member 131 on the support member 147 can be increased, so that the support plate 142 and the body 110 fit more closely, and the stability of the support assembly 140 supporting the door body assembly 120 is improved. Furthermore, the multiple first elastic members 131 can apply thrust to the support plate 142 through multiple support points, so that the force on the support plate 142 is more balanced, and the stability of the support assembly 140 supporting the door body assembly 120 is further improved.

[0142] In a possible embodiment, the number of the first elastic members 131 is two, and the two first elastic members 131 are respectively arranged in areas close to two ends of the mounting member 143 along the horizontal direction.

[0143] By setting the number of the first elastic members 131 to be multiple, on the one hand, the thrust of the first elastic member 131 on the support plate 142 can be increased, so that the support plate 142 can fit more closely with the main body 110; on the other hand, the force on the support plate 142 can be more balanced, so that the support assembly 140 can support the door body assembly 120 more stably, thereby improving the stability of the door body assembly 120.

[0144] In one embodiment according to the present application, Fig.21 and Fig. 22 As shown, the door body assembly 120 includes: a second mounting hole 128, a support assembly 140 is passed through the second mounting hole 128, and the support assembly 140 can move in the second mounting hole 128 in a direction toward and away from the main body 110; the first end of the support assembly 140 protrudes from the door body assembly 120 toward the end away from the main body 110, and the second end of the support assembly 140 can be abutted against the main body 110.

[0145] In this embodiment, another structure of the support assembly 140 and the door assembly 120 is defined. The door assembly 120 is provided with a second mounting hole 128, and the support assembly 140 is inserted into the second mounting hole 128 and can abut against the body 110, and the user can push the support assembly 140 to move toward the body 110. After the support assembly 140 abuts against the body 110, the user continues to apply a thrust to the support assembly 140, at which time, the support assembly 140 has a tendency to continue to move in the direction toward the body 110, but because the body 110 limits the support assembly 140, the support assembly 140 cannot continue to move, so the door assembly 120 is pushed open, and because the support assembly 140 is supported between the body 110 and the door assembly 120, a gap is left between the body 110 and the door assembly 120, and the water vapor in the cooking cavity 111 can be discharged through the gap.

[0146] Specifically, the first end of the support assembly 140 protrudes from the door assembly 120 toward the end away from the body 110, so that the user can easily press the support assembly 140. When the user presses the first end of the support assembly 140, the second end of the support assembly 140 moves in the direction toward the body 110 until the second end of the support assembly 140 abuts against the body 110. At this time, there is a gap between the door assembly 120 and the body 110, and the support assembly 140 supports the door assembly 120 to keep the door in the open position.

[0147] By setting a second mounting hole 128 in the door body assembly 120 and setting the support assembly 140 to be able to move in the second mounting hole 128 in the direction toward and away from the main body 110, the support assembly 140 can be pushed by the user to abut against the main body 110 to support the door body assembly 120 and keep the door body assembly 120 in the open position, thereby leaving a gap between the door body assembly 120 and the main body 110, so that the water vapor in the cooking cavity 111 can be discharged through the gap, thereby reducing the air humidity in the cooking cavity 111 and avoiding water accumulation in the cooking cavity 111.

[0148] In one embodiment according to the present application, Fig.21 and Fig. 22 As shown, the positioning device 130 also includes: a limit platform 132, which is arranged on the hole wall of the second mounting hole 128; the support assembly 140 includes: a support member 147, which can move between a third position and a fourth position; a pushing member 148, which abuts against one end of the support member 147 away from the main body 110, and the pushing member 148 is used to push the support member 147 to move; when the support member 147 is located in the third position, the first end of the support member 147 abuts against the main body 110, and the second end of the support member 147 away from the first end abuts against the limit platform 132, so that the support member 147 remains in the third position.

[0149] In this embodiment, the structure of the positioning device 130 is further defined. The positioning device 130 includes a limit platform 132, and the support assembly 140 includes a support member 147 and a push member 148, wherein the limit platform 132 is arranged on the hole wall of the second mounting hole 128, and the limit platform 132 is used to limit the support assembly 140 to fix the support assembly 140. Further, the support member 147 is abutted against the push member 148, and the push member 148 can push the support member 147 to move between the third position and the fourth position. Specifically, the push member 148 is abutted against the first end of the support member 147 away from the body 110, and the user can apply a thrust toward the body 110 to the push member 148, so as to push the support member 147 toward the body 110 through the push member 148.

[0150] Further, when the support member 147 is located at the third position, the first end of the support member 147 abuts against the body 110, and the second end of the support member 147 away from the first end abuts against the limit platform 132, and the limit platform 132 limits the support member 147 so that the support member 147 remains at the third position. In this way, the support assembly 140 can stably support the door assembly 120.

[0151] By setting a limit platform 132 in the positioning device 130, the support member 147 can be limited by the limit platform 132 so that the support member 147 is maintained in the third position capable of supporting the door body assembly 120, so that the support assembly 140 can stably support the door body assembly 120.

[0152] In one embodiment according to the present application, Fig.21 and Fig. 22 As shown, the positioning device 130 further includes: a slideway, which is arranged on the hole wall of the second mounting hole 128, and a limiting platform 132 is arranged at the end of the slideway facing the body 110, and the support member 147 can slide along the slideway.

[0153] In this embodiment, a slideway is further provided in the positioning device 130, and the slideway is provided on the hole wall of the second mounting hole 128, and the support member 147 can slide along the slideway. The limiting platform 132 is provided at the end of the slideway, and when the support member 147 slides to the end along the slideway, the second end of the support member 147 abuts against the limiting platform 132, and at this time, the support member 147 is located at the third position.

[0154] By providing a slideway on the hole wall of the second mounting hole 128 , the support member 147 can slide along the slideway to the third position, thereby reducing the resistance to the movement of the support member 147 and making it easier for the user to push the support assembly 140 to move.

[0155] In one embodiment according to the present application, Fig.21 and Fig. 22 As shown, the positioning device 130 also includes: a second elastic member 133, which is located in the second mounting hole 128, and the second elastic member 133 is sleeved on the support member 147; the support member 147 is provided with a boss 149, and the two ends of the second elastic member 133 are respectively abutted against the boss 149 and the end surface of the second mounting hole 128; when the support member 147 is located in the third position, the second elastic member 133 is compressed, and the second elastic member 133 can push the support member 147 to move to the fourth position.

[0156] In this embodiment, a second elastic member 133 is further provided in the positioning device 130. The second elastic member 133 is sleeved on the support member 147 and located in the second mounting hole 128. One end of the second elastic member 133 abuts against the hole wall of the second mounting hole 128, and the other end abuts against the boss 149 provided on the support member 147, so that the second support member 147 can be axially limited. When the support member 147 moves in the direction toward the body 110, the second elastic member 133 is gradually compressed until the support member 147 moves to the third position. At this time, the limiting platform 132 axially limits the support member 147, and the support member 147 cannot continue to move, and the second elastic member 133 is in a compressed state. When the user needs to use the door assembly 120 to close the cooking cavity 111, the user can apply a force to the pushing member 148 in the direction of the main body 110, and the pushing member 148 pushes the support member 147 to move toward the main body 110, and the support member 147 is separated from the limit platform 132. Thereafter, the support member 147 returns to the slide, and the second elastic member 133 pushes the support member 147 to move in the direction away from the main body 110, and the support member 147 returns to the fourth position. At this time, the support member 147 is separated from the main body 110, and the door assembly 120 can close the cooking cavity 111 normally.

[0157] In a possible embodiment, the second elastic member 133 is configured as a spring.

[0158] By setting a second elastic member 133 in the positioning device 130, the second elastic member 133 can apply a thrust to the support member 147 in a direction away from the main body 110, so that the support member 147 can automatically return to the fourth position, so that the door body assembly 120 can normally close the cooking cavity 111.
