[0041] In related technologies, microwave ovens are usually placed on top of furniture, especially when the kitchen space is relatively small, it is even more important to ensure sufficient space for the microwave oven. In the existing technology, in order to effectively utilize the user's kitchen space, drawer-type microwave ovens have been designed on the market. Drawer-type microwave ovens can be embedded in the cabinets of other kitchen utensils or furniture to improve the utilization rate of the user's kitchen space. In order to fix the rack, hooks are set on the side wall of the drawer for fixing the rack. However, the reliability of the hooks is low, and they are easy to fall off or break, which increases the cost of using the microwave oven. Moreover, after the rack is fixed by the hooks, the hooks will limit the rack in five directions (front, back, left, right and down), so that the rack can only be taken out by lifting it upwards, causing inconvenience to the user in assembling and disassembling the rack.

[0042] The following is for reference. Figures 1-11 A cooking appliance 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention is described.

[0043] like Figures 1-11 As shown, the cooking appliance 100 according to the present invention includes: an outer shell 1, an inner shell 2, a first pull-out portion 3, a second pull-out portion 4, a drawer 5, and a grill 6. The inner shell 2 is disposed inside the outer shell 1. The outer wall surface of the inner shell 2 is at least partially spaced from the inner wall surface of the outer shell 1 to define a mounting cavity 11. A heating cavity 21 is formed inside the inner shell 2. The first pull-out portion 3 is disposed in the mounting cavity 11 and connected to the inner wall surface of the outer shell 1 or the outer wall surface of the inner shell 2. The second pull-out portion 4 is movably connected to the first pull-out portion 3. The drawer 5 is connected to the second pull-out portion 4 and can be selectively housed in the heating cavity 21. A support portion 51 is formed on the drawer 5. A support surface 511 is formed on the support portion 51. An overlapping portion is formed on the grill 6. An overlapping surface adapted to abut against the support surface 511 is formed on the overlapping portion. The support surface 511 abuts against the overlapping surface in a first direction. The overlapping portion can be selectively disengaged along the first direction. Specifically, in some embodiments, the first direction can be configured as the height direction of the outer shell 1, and the second direction can be configured as the pull-out direction of the drawer 5. An inner shell 2 is provided inside the outer shell 1. The inner shell 2 is provided with an installation port communicating with the heating cavity 21 facing the second direction, and an installation cavity 11 is formed between the inner shell 2 and the outer shell 1. The installation cavity 11 can be used to install the electrical structure of the cooking appliance 100. A first pull-out part 3 is provided on the cavity wall of the installation cavity 11. The cavity wall of the installation cavity 11 can be configured as the outer wall surface of the inner shell 2 or as the inner wall surface of the outer shell 1. There is no limitation here. The first pull-out part 3 extends towards the second direction. The first pull-out part 3 is movably connected to a second pull-out part 4. The second pull-out part 4 is fixedly connected to the drawer 5 so that the drawer 5 can be movably connected to the inner shell 2, so that the drawer 5 can be selectively accommodated in the heating cavity 21 by moving the drawer 5.

[0044] More specifically, the overlapping part of the grill 6 moves along the first direction, allowing the grill 6 to detach from or be installed in the drawer 5. The overlapping surface of the grill 6 abuts against the supporting surface 511 of the drawer 5, ensuring that after the grill 6 is installed in the drawer 5, the drawer 5 provides stable support for the grill 6, thus limiting its position in the first direction. Understandably, when grilling food, the drawer 5 is pulled out of the mounting cavity 11 along the second direction through the mounting opening, the food to be grilled is placed on the grill 6, and then the overlapping surface abuts against the supporting surface 511, allowing the grill 6 to be installed in the drawer 5. Finally, the drawer 5 is moved along the second direction so that it is housed in the heating cavity 21, thus installing the grill 6 within the heating cavity 21.

[0045] According to the cooking appliance 100 of the present invention, by providing a support part 51 on the drawer 5, the grill 6 is placed in the drawer 5 in an overlapping manner, and the support surface 511 of the support part 51 and the overlapping surface of the overlapping part of the grill 6 abut against each other in a first direction. At this time, the grill 6 can be moved so that the overlapping part can be selectively disengaged from the support part 51 in the first direction. The grill 6 is easy to assemble and disassemble and is quick to assemble and disassemble. At the same time, the drawer 5 is movably connected to the inner shell 2 and can be selectively housed in the heating cavity 21. After the grill 6 is fixed in the drawer 5, the user can push the drawer 5 to place the grill 6 in the heating cavity 21, and pull the drawer 5 to take the grill 6 out of the heating cavity 21. This can improve the convenience of the cooking appliance 100 and provide a better user experience.

[0046] According to some embodiments of the present invention, such as Figures 3-5 As shown, a first positioning surface 512 is formed on the support portion 51, and the first positioning surface 512 is arranged facing the second direction, such as... Figures 6-8 As shown, a second positioning surface is formed on the overlapping portion. The second positioning surface is arranged facing a second direction. After the grill 6 is placed in the drawer 5, the first positioning surface 512 can abut against the second positioning surface in the second direction to restrict the movement of the grill 6 in the second direction. The second direction is configured as the direction in which the drawer 5 is pulled out, so as to avoid relative movement between the grill 6 and the drawer 5 when the drawer 5 moves. In some embodiments, the first direction is configured as the height direction of the outer shell 1, and the second direction is orthogonal to the first direction, so that after the grill 6 is installed in the drawer 5, the support portion 51 can limit the overlapping portion in both the first and second directions, preventing relative movement between the grill 6 and the drawer 5, and providing a better limiting effect for the grill 6.

[0047] According to some embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 4As shown, drawer 5 includes a bottom plate 52, a first side plate 53 and a second side plate 54. The first side plate 53 and the second side plate 54 are respectively disposed on both sides of the bottom plate 52 in a third direction, and the third direction is orthogonal to the first direction and the second direction, respectively. A support portion 51 is formed on at least one of the first side plate 53 and the second side plate 54. Specifically, the third direction can be constructed as the width direction of drawer 5. The bottom plate 52 is provided with a first side plate 53 and a second side plate 54 on both sides of the third direction. In some embodiments, one of the first side plate 53 and the second side plate 54 is provided with a support part 51. In this case, the grill 6 can be provided with an overlapping part on one side. When the grill 6 is installed, the overlapping part on one side of the grill 6 cooperates with the support part 51 of the first side plate 53 or the second side plate 54. The other side of the grill 6 is supported by the first side plate 53 or the second side plate 54 without a support part 51. In other embodiments, both the first side plate 53 and the second side plate 54 are provided with support parts 51. In this case, both sides of the grill 6 are provided with overlapping parts. When the grill 6 is installed, the overlapping parts on both sides of the grill 6 cooperate with the support parts 51 on the first side plate 53 and the second side plate 54 respectively to fix the grill 6, so that the grill 6 can be fixed to the drawer 5 more stably.

[0048] According to some embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 4 As shown, support portions 51 are respectively disposed on the surfaces of the first side plate 53 and the second side plate 54 facing each other and extending towards each other. The top surface of the support portion 51 is configured as a support surface 511, and the first positioning surfaces 512 are respectively formed on both sides of the support portion 51 in the second direction. Specifically, in some embodiments, the support portion 51 can be configured as a support platform protruding from the surfaces of the first side plate 53 and the second side plate 54 facing each other. The top surface of the support platform is disposed in the first direction, and the top surface of the support platform is configured as the support surface 511, which is used to abut against the overlapping surface of the grill 6 to provide stable support for the grill 6. The two sides of the support platform along the second direction are the first positioning surfaces 512. The first positioning surfaces 512 are adapted to abut against the second positioning surface of the overlapping portion to limit the grill 6 in the second direction, thereby preventing relative movement between the grill 6 and the drawer 5 when the drawer 5 moves, and thus allowing the grill 6 to be stably fixed to the drawer 5. Understandably, after the grill 6 is installed in the drawer 5, the grill 6 abuts against the side walls of the first side panel 53 and the second side panel 54 facing each other on both sides in the third direction, so as to limit the grill 6 in the third direction. The multi-directional limiting allows the grill 6 to be fixed more stably in the drawer 5.

[0049] According to some embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 5As shown, the support portion 51 is configured such that its dimensions gradually increase in the third direction away from the base plate 52. Specifically, in some embodiments, the projection of the cross-section of the support portion 51 in the second direction can be an inverted right triangle, a sector, or an arc shape, which ensures stable support for the grill 6 while reducing the weight of the drawer 5.

[0050] According to some embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 6 , Figure 8 As shown, the grill 6 includes an outer frame 61. The outer frame 61 has positioning grooves 611 extending in a first direction and opening towards the base plate 52 on both sides in a third direction. The bottom wall of the positioning groove 611 is an overlapping surface, and the side wall of the positioning groove 611 in a second direction is a second positioning surface. Specifically, when the grill 6 is installed, the bottom wall of the positioning groove 611 abuts against the top surface of the support 51 to support the grill 6. The two side walls of the positioning groove 611 in the second direction abut against the two side walls of the support 51 in the second direction, respectively, to restrict the movement of the grill 6 in the second direction. The outer frame 61 has positioning grooves 611 on both sides in a third direction that cooperate with the support 51. By designing positioning grooves 611 on the grill 6 to accommodate the support 51, the grill 6 can be more easily attached to the drawer 5, and the grill 6 is easy to assemble and disassemble, resulting in a simpler structure.

[0051] According to some embodiments of the present invention, such as Figures 6-8 As shown, the outer frame 61 has a first rod 612 and a second rod 613 on both sides in the width direction. The first rod 612 and the second rod 613 each have a recessed section protruding in a first direction away from the base plate 52, and a positioning groove 611 is formed within the recessed section. Specifically, both the first rod 612 and the second rod 613 protrude in a direction away from the base plate 52 to form a recessed section with an opening facing the base plate 52. The recessed section can be constructed as a positioning groove 611 to simplify the structure of the grill 6 and reduce the production cost of the grill 6.

[0052] According to some embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 8 As shown, the cooking appliance 100 also includes an insulating member 64, which is sleeved on at least a portion of the outer periphery of the recessed section. Specifically, in some embodiments, the recessed sections of the first rod 612 and the second rod 613 are sleeved with the insulating member 64. The insulating member 64 can prevent the grill 6 from directly contacting the drawer 5, thereby preventing sparking between the grill 6 and the drawer 5 when the cooking appliance 100 is grilling food. It is understood that the insulating member 64 can be made of high-temperature resistant plastic or ceramic materials, and there is no limitation herein.

[0053] According to some embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 6 , Figure 8As shown, the grill 6 also includes an upper support 62 and legs 63. The upper support 62 and the outer frame 61 are spaced apart in the first direction. There are multiple legs 63, which are connected to the upper support 62 and extend in the first direction. The legs 63 are supported on the outer frame 61. Specifically, in some embodiments, the upper support 62 includes a first vertical rod, a second vertical rod, and a plurality of first horizontal rods. The first vertical rod and the second vertical rod are respectively disposed on both sides in a third direction and are connected by a plurality of first horizontal rods extending in a third direction. The outer frame 61 includes a first rod 612, a second rod 613, and a plurality of second horizontal rods. The first rod 612 and the second rod 613 are connected by a plurality of second horizontal rods extending in a third direction. The two ends of a plurality of support legs 63 are respectively connected to the upper support 62 and the outer frame 61 to form a grill 6. The upper support 62 and the outer frame 61 are spaced apart in a first direction to increase the area of ​​the grill 6 that can be used to place food to be grilled. That is, both the upper support 62 and the outer frame 61 can be used to place food to be grilled, thereby enhancing the efficiency of the cooking appliance 100 in grilling food.

[0054] According to some embodiments of the present invention, such as Figures 9-11 As shown, the cooking appliance 100 also includes a drive mechanism 7, which is adapted to drive the second pull-out part 4 to move relative to the first pull-out part 3 to control the opening or closing of the drawer 5. Specifically, in some embodiments, the drive mechanism 7 is also provided in the mounting cavity 11. The drive mechanism 7 has a first mating part, and the drawer 5 is fixedly connected to the second mating part. The first mating part and the second mating part are movably mated. When the drive mechanism 7 is turned, it can drive the first mating part to move in a second direction, and the second mating part will follow the first mating part to move in the second direction, thereby driving the drawer 5 to move in the second direction, so as to improve the automation level of the cooking appliance 100, thereby realizing automatic control of the movement of the drawer 5, thereby improving the convenience of the user in using the cooking appliance 100, and at the same time preventing the user from being burned by hot air when the user manually opens the drawer 5, thus improving the safety of the cooking appliance 100.

[0055] In some embodiments, the drive mechanism 7 includes a base, a conveyor belt, and a drive motor. The base is located at the bottom of the mounting cavity 11, with the drive motor at one end and a mounting bracket at the other. A roller is rotatably mounted on the free end of the mounting bracket.

[0060] When baking food, the cooking appliance 100 is started. At this time, the cooking appliance 100 controls the drive mechanism 7 to operate and drive the second pull-out part 4 to move along the second direction and toward the side away from the heating cavity 21, so as to slide the drawer 5 out of the heating cavity 21. Then, the food to be baked is placed on the grill 6, and the grill 6 is placed in the drawer 5, so that the positioning grooves 611 on both sides of the grill 6 cooperate with the support parts 51 on the first side plate 53 and the second side plate 54 respectively. When the top surface of the support part 51 abuts against the bottom surface of the positioning groove 611 and the two side walls of the positioning groove 611 in the second direction abut against the two side walls of the support part 51 in the second direction, the grill 6 can be stably fixed in the drawer 5. Then, the cooking appliance 100 controls the drive mechanism 7 to operate and causes the second pull-out part 4 to move along the second direction, so as to drive the drawer 5 toward the heating cavity 21, so as to transport the grill 6 to the receiving cavity.

[0061] According to the cooking appliance 100 of the present invention, a support portion 51 is provided on the side walls of the first side plate 53 and the second side plate 54 facing each other. The first rod 612 and the second rod 613 of the grill 6 are provided with positioning grooves 611 opening towards the bottom plate 52. The grill 6 selectively engages with the support portion 51 of the drawer 5 through the positioning grooves 611, making the grill 6 easy to assemble and disassemble and quick to install. Simultaneously, the drawer 5 is movably connected to the inner shell 2 and can be selectively housed in the heating cavity 21. After the grill 6 is fixed in the drawer 5, the user can place the grill 6 into the heating cavity 21 by pushing the drawer 5 and remove the grill 6 from the heating cavity 21 by pulling the drawer 5. This improves the convenience of using the cooking appliance 100 and enhances the user experience. The upper support 62 and the outer frame 61 are spaced apart in the first direction to increase the area of ​​the grill 6 that can be used to place food to be grilled. That is, both the upper support 62 and the outer frame 61 can be used to place food to be grilled, thereby enhancing the efficiency of the cooking appliance 100 in grilling food. The recessed sections of the first rod 612 and the second rod 613 are fitted with insulating parts to prevent the grill 6 from directly contacting the drawer 5, thereby preventing sparking between the grill 6 and the drawer 5 when the cooking appliance 100 is grilling food. The drawer 5 is movably mounted on the heating chamber 21 by means of rollers, which can reduce the friction when the drawer 5 moves, thereby reducing the output power of the drive mechanism 7, and thus reducing the power consumption of the cooking appliance 100. At the same time, it can make the drawer 5 more stable when moving.

[0062] In summary, according to the cooking appliance 100 of the present invention, the overlapping surface of the grill 6 and the supporting surface 511 of the drawer 5 support 51 abut against each other in the first direction, so that the grill 6 is placed in the drawer 5 in an overlapping manner, thereby allowing the grill 6 to be placed in the drawer 5 quickly. The overlapping part can be selectively disengaged in the first direction, so that the grill 6 can be quickly removed from the drawer 5. At the same time, the drawer 5 is movably connected to the inner shell 2 and can be selectively housed in the heating cavity 21, so that after the grill 6 is fixed in the drawer 5, the user can push the drawer 5 to place the grill 6 in the heating cavity 21, and pull the drawer 5 to remove the grill 6 from the heating cavity 21, which can improve the convenience of the cooking appliance 100.
