TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] Embodiments of the present application relate to the technical field of cooking equipment, and in particular, to a cooking appliance. BACKGROUND
[0002] At present, the microwave oven 10' in the related art, as shown in Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 , the grounding mode is generally to punch a grounding screw 12' on the back plate 11' of the microwave oven 10' or to connect with a screw 12' and a nut 13'.
[0003] However, the back plate 11' of the microwave oven 10' is relatively thin, generally with a thickness of 0.4mm-0.5mm, and when the grounding screw 12' is punched, the tooth is prone to slipping and failure, resulting in unreliable grounding and certain hidden dangers for safe grounding. Although the connection with the screw 12' and the nut 13' is reliable, the employee needs to hold the nut 13' under the hand when operating, and the hand is prone to injury when the screw 12' is punched, which has safety hazards and low production efficiency. SUMMARY
[0004] Embodiments of the present application aim to at least solve one of the technical problems existing in the prior art.
[0005] To this end, a first aspect of embodiments of the present application provides a cooking appliance.
[0006] Therefore, according to a first aspect of embodiments of the present application, a cooking appliance is provided, which comprises a main body, a waveguide provided on the main body, a bracket connected with the waveguide, the bracket being used to connect with electrical devices of the cooking appliance, and a grounding terminal connected with the bracket.
[0007] The cooking appliance provided by the embodiments of the present application comprises a main body, a waveguide, a bracket and a grounding terminal, specifically, the waveguide is provided on the main body, and it can be understood that the main body is provided with a cooking cavity, and the cooking cavity is in communication with the waveguide, so that when it is necessary to cook food, a microwave signal can be emitted into the cooking cavity through the waveguide, and then the food in the cooking cavity is cooked through the microwave signal.
[0008] The bracket is connected with the waveguide, and the grounding terminal is connected with the bracket, so as to realize the grounding of the cooking appliance and ensure the normal work of the cooking appliance, which can effectively prevent the problem of tooth slipping and failure when the screw is punched, improve the reliability of the grounding of the cooking appliance, and then improve the use safety of the cooking appliance.
[0009] Specifically, in the related art, when grounding the microwave oven, screw grounding is performed on the rear plate of the microwave oven, or screw and nut connection is used on the rear plate of the microwave oven to achieve grounding of the microwave oven. However, the rear plate of the microwave oven is relatively thin, usually with a thickness of 0.4mm to 0.5mm, and the screwing is prone to the problem of slipping and failure, and the grounding is not reliable. Moreover, using screw and nut connection, when performing the grounding operation, the employee needs to hold the nut with one hand underneath, which is easy to hurt the hand, and the production efficiency is low.
[0010] The bracket is used to connect with the electrical device of the cooking appliance, that is, the bracket is arranged between the waveguide and the electrical device of the cooking appliance, and the grounding terminal is connected with the bracket to achieve grounding of the cooking appliance. Compared with the screw grounding on the rear plate of the microwave oven in the related art, the bracket for mounting the electrical device of the cooking appliance has a relatively thick thickness, which can effectively prevent the problem of slipping and failure when screw grounding, improve the reliability of the grounding of the cooking appliance, and further improve the use safety of the cooking appliance.
[0011] In addition, compared with the screw and nut connection for grounding in the related art, screw grounding can be directly performed on the bracket, and reliable grounding can be achieved without nut connection, thereby avoiding the safety hazard of hurting the hand and improving the production efficiency.
[0012] It is worth noting that the bracket can be set to have a relatively thick thickness, which can further improve the reliability of the grounding of the cooking appliance, improve the use safety of the cooking appliance, and further improve the user experience of the cooking appliance.
[0013] The bracket can be used for power grounding, magnetron grounding, or filter grounding, and the number of grounding terminals can be multiple, so that the power, magnetron, and filter can be grounded at the same time. The number of grounding terminals can be set as needed.
[0014] In actual application, the cooking appliance further includes a magnetron, and the magnetron is connected with the bracket, that is, the bracket is used for mounting the magnetron. It can be understood that the magnetron is in communication with the waveguide, and specifically, a through hole can be arranged on the bracket, so that when it is necessary to cook food, the microwave signal generated by the magnetron is transmitted to the cooking cavity through the through hole and the waveguide to cook the food in the cooking cavity. That is, the bracket is used for mounting the magnetron in addition to grounding, in other words, the bracket of the present application improves the existing mounting bracket for mounting the magnetron, so that the bracket can not only ground, but also mount the magnetron, effectively simplifying the structure of the cooking appliance, and further reducing the production cost of the cooking appliance.
[0015] In addition, it can be understood that since the support is used for mounting the magnetron, the thickness of the support is thick, thereby realizing reliable grounding and avoiding safety hazards. Moreover, the two sides of the support are connected with the waveguide tube and the magnetron respectively, thereby improving the fixing effect of the support, and further improving the reliability and stability of the grounding of the cooking appliance.

In addition, if the thickness of the support is too thick, that is, the thickness of the support is greater than 1.5mm, the occupied space of the support is increased, and the occupied space of the cooking appliance is further increased. By limiting the thickness of the support to be between 0.8mm and 1.5mm, the reliability of the grounding of the cooking appliance can be further improved, the use safety of the cooking appliance is improved, and the user experience of the cooking appliance is improved.
[0020] In a possible design, the support comprises a body and a mounting portion, wherein the body is connected with the waveguide tube, the first end of the mounting portion is connected with the body, the second end of the mounting portion extends away from the body and at least partially beyond the outer edge of the waveguide tube, and the grounding terminal is connected with the second end of the mounting portion.
[0021] In this design, the support comprises a body and a mounting portion, specifically, the body is connected with the waveguide tube, the first end of the mounting portion is connected with the body, the second end of the mounting portion extends away from the body and beyond the outer edge of the waveguide tube, that is, the mounting portion protrudes from the waveguide tube. Specifically, the second end of the mounting portion extends upward along the height direction of the body away from the body.
[0022] Further, the grounding terminal is connected with the second end of the mounting portion, so that the grounding terminal can be reliably grounded while avoiding interference between the grounding terminal and other structures such as the waveguide, thereby avoiding potential safety hazards of the cooking appliance and improving the safety and user experience of the cooking appliance.
[0023] It should be noted that the body and the mounting portion can be an integral structure. It can be understood that the integral structure has good mechanical properties, so as to improve the connection strength between the body and the mounting portion, further improve the reliability of the cooking appliance grounding, improve the safety of the cooking appliance, and further improve the user experience of the cooking appliance.

[0025] In a possible design, the body and the mounting portion are an integral structure.
[0026] In this design, the body and the mounting portion are defined as an integral structure. It can be understood that the integral structure has good mechanical properties, so as to improve the connection strength between the body and the mounting portion, further improve the reliability of the cooking appliance grounding, improve the safety of the cooking appliance, and further improve the user experience of the cooking appliance.
[0027] In addition, the integral structure also facilitates the processing and production of the bracket, so as to improve the production efficiency of the bracket and reduce the production cost of the bracket and the cooking appliance with the bracket.

[0032] In actual application, the fastener is a screw, that is, the screw passes through the wiring hole and the grounding hole to connect the grounding terminal and the bracket, achieving reliable grounding.

[0035] In a possible design, the mounting portion is provided with a bent portion bent to the side where the waveguide is located and horizontally extended, and at least one grounding hole is arranged on the bent portion.
[0036] In this design, the mounting portion includes a bent portion, specifically, the mounting portion is provided with a bent portion bent to the side where the waveguide is located and horizontally extended, that is, a part of the mounting portion is horizontally bent to form the bent portion, that is, the bent portion forms an installation platform. Further, the grounding hole is arranged on the bent portion, that is, when grounding the grounding terminal, the connection of the grounding terminal and the bracket is performed on the installation platform, so that the grounding operation is facilitated, and the installation efficiency of the cooking utensil during grounding is further improved.
[0037] In addition, a part of the mounting portion is bent to form the bent portion, so that the connection strength of the bent portion can be improved, and further reliable grounding can be achieved when the grounding terminal is connected with the bent portion, avoiding safety hazards.
[0038] In a possible design, the grounding terminal includes a connecting portion, and the wiring hole is arranged on the connecting portion; the bracket further includes at least one limiting protrusion, and the at least one limiting protrusion is arranged on the side of the bent portion away from the body, and the limiting protrusion can limit the connecting portion.

[0040] Specifically, when the grounding terminal is mounted with the support through the fastener, the connecting portion is prone to movement or rotation in the circumferential direction, and the limiting protrusion can limit the movement or rotation of the connecting portion in the circumferential direction, thereby improving the mounting efficiency of the cooking utensil when grounding.
[0041] In actual application, the fastener is a screw, the screw passes through the wiring hole of the grounding terminal and the grounding hole of the support to connect the grounding terminal with the support, so as to achieve grounding. When mounting, the connecting portion is prone to rotation with the screw, which reduces the mounting efficiency. By limiting the rotation of the connecting portion through the limiting protrusion, the mounting efficiency of the cooking utensil when grounding is improved.
[0042] It is worth noting that the limiting protrusion is arranged one-to-one with the grounding hole. It can be understood that one grounding hole realizes one way of grounding, specifically, it can be the grounding of the cooking utensil, the filter grounding or the computer board grounding, etc. By arranging the limiting protrusion one-to-one with the grounding hole, that is, arranging one limiting protrusion near each grounding hole, the cooking utensil can be limited in various ways of grounding, further improving the grounding efficiency.

[0047] In this design, the cooking utensil further comprises a magnetron, and the magnetron is connected to the side of the support away from the waveguide tube. It can be understood that the magnetron is in communication with the waveguide tube. Specifically, a through hole can be arranged on the support, so that when it is necessary to cook food, the microwave signal generated by the magnetron is emitted into the cooking cavity through the through hole and the waveguide tube to cook the food in the cooking cavity. That is, the support is used for mounting the magnetron in addition to grounding. In other words, the present application improves the existing mounting rack for mounting the magnetron, so that the support can not only ground, but also mount the magnetron, effectively simplifying the structure of the cooking utensil, thereby reducing the production cost of the cooking utensil.
[0048] In addition, it can be understood that since the support is used for mounting the magnetron, the thickness of the support is relatively thick, so as to realize reliable grounding and avoid safety hazards. Moreover, the two sides of the support are connected with the waveguide and the magnetron respectively, so as to improve the fixing effect of the support, and further improve the reliability and stability of the grounding of the cooking utensil.

That is to say, the support can realize the grounding of multiple electrical devices, and further realize the reliable grounding of the cooking utensil in multiple ways, and improve the use safety of the cooking utensil.

[0054] Further, the limiting part is arranged on the body and can be matched with the limiting hole of the magnetron, and it can be understood that when the magnetron is installed, the limiting part can be matched with the limiting hole first, and then the fasteners and the mounting hole and the connecting hole are installed, so as to reduce the installation difficulty and improve the installation efficiency.

[0056] In this design, the main body includes a shell, and specifically, the shell is provided with a cooking cavity, and the cooking cavity is in communication with the magnetron through a waveguide tube.

Thus, the grounding of the cooking appliance can be realized while the occupied space of the grounding terminal is reduced. In addition, the terminal body is arranged in the avoiding slot, which can limit the position of the terminal body and prevent the grounding terminal from being grounded, thereby avoiding the safety hazard of the cooking appliance and further improving the use safety of the cooking appliance.
[0060] In actual application, the avoiding slot is arranged at the top of the shell, and the slot opening extends to the top of the shell, thereby facilitating the installation of the grounding terminal and further improving the installation efficiency of the cooking appliance.

Detailed Implementation
[0080] To better understand the above-mentioned objectives, features, and advantages of the present invention, the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in these embodiments can be combined with each other.
[0081] Many specific details are set forth in the following description in order to provide a full understanding of the invention. However, the invention may also be practiced in other ways different from those described herein, and therefore the scope of protection of the invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.
[0082] The following reference Figures 4 to 6 To describe a cooking appliance 100 provided according to some embodiments of the present invention.
[0083] Example 1:
[0084] like Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, an embodiment of the first aspect of the present invention provides a cooking appliance 100, which includes: a main body 110; a waveguide 120 disposed on the main body 110; a bracket 130 connected to the waveguide 120 and used for connecting to electrical components of the cooking appliance 100; and a grounding terminal 140 connected to the bracket 130.
[0085] The cooking appliance 100 provided in this embodiment of the invention includes a main body 110, a waveguide 120, a support 130, and a grounding terminal 140. Specifically, the waveguide 120 is disposed on the main body 110. It is understood that the main body 110 has a cooking cavity, and the cooking cavity is connected to the waveguide 120. Thus, when it is necessary to cook food, microwave signals can be emitted into the cooking cavity through the waveguide 120, and the food in the cooking cavity can be cooked by the microwave signals.
[0086] The bracket 130 is connected with the waveguide 120, and the grounding terminal 140 is connected with the bracket 130, so that the grounding of the cooking utensil 100 is realized, the normal work of the cooking utensil 100 is ensured, the problem of screw slipping failure during grounding is effectively prevented, the reliability of the grounding of the cooking utensil 100 is improved, and the use safety of the cooking utensil 100 is further improved.
[0087] Specifically, in the related art, when the grounding of the microwave oven is performed, the screw grounding is performed on the back plate of the microwave oven, or the screw and nut connection is used on the back plate of the microwave oven to realize the grounding of the microwave oven. However, the back plate of the microwave oven is relatively thin, usually with a thickness of 0.4mm to 0.5mm, and the problem of screw slipping failure occurs during screwing, and the grounding is not reliable. Moreover, by using the screw and nut connection, the staff needs to hold the nut with one hand underneath during the grounding operation, which is easy to hurt the hand, and the production efficiency is low.
[0088] The bracket 130 is used to be connected with the electrical device of the cooking utensil 100, that is, the bracket 130 is arranged between the waveguide 120 and the electrical device of the cooking utensil 100, and the grounding terminal 140 is connected with the bracket 130 to realize the grounding of the cooking utensil 100. Compared with the screw grounding on the back plate of the microwave oven in the related art, the bracket 130 for mounting the electrical device of the cooking utensil 100 is thicker, which can effectively prevent the problem of screw slipping failure during grounding, improve the reliability of the grounding of the cooking utensil 100, and further improve the use safety of the cooking utensil 100.
[0089] In addition, compared with the screw and nut connection for grounding in the related art, the screw grounding can be directly performed on the bracket 130, and reliable grounding can be achieved without nut connection, thereby avoiding the safety hazard of hurting the hand and improving the production efficiency.
[0090] It is worth noting that the thickness of the bracket 130 can be set to be relatively thick, which can further improve the reliability of the grounding of the cooking utensil 100, improve the use safety of the cooking utensil 100, and further improve the use experience of the cooking utensil 100 for the user.
[0091] The bracket 130 can be used for power grounding, magnetron 150 grounding or filter grounding, and further, the number of grounding terminals 140 can be multiple, so that the simultaneous grounding of the power supply, the magnetron 150 and the filter can be realized, and the specific number can be set according to actual needs.
[0092] In actual application, the cooking utensil 100 further comprises a magnetron 150, and the bracket 130 is connected with the magnetron 150, that is, the bracket 130 is used for mounting the magnetron 150. It can be understood that the magnetron 150 is in communication with the waveguide 120, and specifically, a through hole can be arranged on the bracket 130, so that when it is necessary to cook the food, the microwave signal generated by the magnetron 150 is emitted into the cooking cavity through the through hole and the waveguide 120 to cook the food in the cooking cavity. That is, in addition to grounding, the bracket 130 is also used for mounting the magnetron 150, in other words, the bracket 130 is improved on the basis of the existing mounting rack for mounting the magnetron 150, so that the bracket 130 can not only be grounded but also can mount the magnetron 150, effectively simplifying the structure of the cooking utensil 100, and further reducing the production cost of the cooking utensil 100.
[0093] In addition, it can be understood that since the bracket 130 is used for mounting the magnetron 150, the thickness of the bracket 130 is relatively thick, so as to realize reliable grounding and avoid safety hazards. Moreover, the two sides of the bracket 130 are connected with the waveguide 120 and the magnetron 150 respectively, so as to improve the fixing effect of the bracket 130, and further improve the reliability and stability of the grounding of the cooking utensil 100.
[0094] In a specific embodiment, further, the thickness d of the bracket 130 satisfies 0.8mm≤d≤1.5mm.
[0095] In this embodiment, the value range of the thickness of the bracket 130 is limited, and specifically, the thickness of the bracket 130 is between 0.8mm and 1.5mm, that is, the thickness of the bracket 130 is set to be relatively thick. Compared with the grounding of the grounding terminal by the rear plate of the microwave oven in the related art, the reliability of the grounding of the cooking utensil 100 can be further improved, the use safety of the cooking utensil 100 is improved, and further the use experience of the user on the cooking utensil 100 is improved.
[0096] It can be understood that if the thickness of the bracket 130 is too thin, that is, the thickness of the bracket 130 is less than 0.8mm, when the grounding terminal 140 is connected with the bracket 130 by a screw, the problem of screw slipping failure is prone to occur, which causes safety hazards in the grounding of the cooking utensil 100. In addition, if the thickness of the bracket 130 is too thick, that is, the thickness of the bracket 130 is greater than 1.5mm, the occupied space of the bracket 130 is increased, and further the occupied space of the cooking utensil 100 is increased.
