DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0051] Embodiments of the present application are described below in detail, examples of which are shown in the drawings, wherein the same or similar notations represent the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below by referring to the drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain the present application, and cannot be understood as a limitation of the present application.

[0052] The present application discloses a cooking appliance 100.

[0053] The following refers to Figures 1-18 The cooking appliance 100 according to the embodiments of the present application is described.

[0054] In some embodiments, as Figure 1 and Figure 10 shown, the cooking appliance 100 includes: a main machine 110, a door body 120, a lock hook 130, a stop part 140, and a reset part 150.

[0055] The main machine 110 has a cooking cavity.

[0056] The main machine 110 can be used to realize the cooking of food by temperature control and time control, and the cooking cavity can be used as a holding container to cooperate with the door body 120 to provide a closed environment for the food.

[0057] The door body 120 is hingedly installed on the main machine 110.

[0058] The door body 120 can be used to block the cooking cavity to provide a closed cooking environment for the food, the door body 120 can be provided with a transparent window, the transparent window can be used to observe the state of the food being cooked, and a handle can be provided on the outer plate of the door body 120, the handle can be used to facilitate the user to pull the door body 120.

[0059] The lock hook 130 is pivotally installed on the side of the first one of the door body 120 and the main machine 110 about a first axis between a first position and a second position, the stop part 140 is installed on the second one of the door body 120 and the main machine 110, the first axis is parallel to the normal line of the side, the lock hook 130 is locked with the main machine 110 along the opening and closing direction of the door body 120 in the case of the first position, and the lock hook 130 is unlocked with the main machine 110 in the case of the second position.

[0060] The lock hook 130 can be used to lock the door body 120 and the main machine 110. The lock hook 130 can be made of metal or plastic, for example, in some embodiments, the lock hook 130 is made of plastic, which can include but is not limited to PP (Polypropylene), POM (Polyformaldehyde) or PC (Polycarbonate) and the like.

[0061] The connection between the stop portion 140 and the door body 120 can include but is not limited to bolt connection, buckle connection or rivet connection, etc., for example, in some embodiments, the connection between the stop portion 140 and the door body 120 is bolt connection.

[0062] In some embodiments, as shown in Figures 1-18 The lock hook 130 can be pivotally mounted on the door body 120, and the stop portion 140 can be fixed on the main machine 110. The lock hook 130 on the door body 120 can be locked with the stop portion 140 on the main machine 110. When the main machine 110 and the door body 120 are unlocked, the lock hook 130 can rotate with the door body 120 around the pivot axis of the door body 120.

[0063] In another embodiment, the lock hook 130 can be pivotally mounted on the main machine 110, and the stop portion 140 can be fixed on the door body 120. When the main machine 110 and the door body 120 are unlocked, the stop portion 140 can rotate with the door body 120 around the pivot axis of the door body 120.

[0064] It can be understood that the face of the door body 120 towards the user can be the front surface of the door body 120, and the four faces around the front surface of the door body 120 can be the side faces of the door body 120. The opening of the cooking cavity of the main machine 110 can face the user, and the four faces around the opening of the cooking cavity can be the side faces of the main machine 110.

[0065] When the door body 120 is a pull-down door type, the first axis extends in the vertical direction; when the door body 120 is a side-pull door type, the first axis extends in the horizontal direction.

[0066] It should be noted that the lock hook structure of the present application can be a safety lock of the cooking appliance 100, that is, the above-mentioned lock hook 130 is the first lock of the cooking appliance 100, and the user cannot directly pull the door to release the first lock. The cooking appliance 100 itself has a resilient door lock, which is the second lock of the cooking appliance 100, and the user can use a small force to pull the handle outward to release the resilient door lock.

[0067] The reset member 150 is elastically connected between the door body 120, the first of the main machine 110 and the lock hook 130, and the reset member 150 is used to drive the lock hook 130 to remain in the first position.

[0068] In other words, when the lock hook 130 is installed on the door body 120, the reset member 150 can be elastically connected between the door body 120 and the lock hook 130; or, when the lock hook 130 is installed on the door body 120, the reset member 150 can be elastically connected between the host 110 and the lock hook 130.

[0069] The reset element 150 can be a spring or an elastic rubber sleeve, and there are no restrictions on it.

[0070] The embodiments of this application will be described in detail below from two different implementation perspectives.

[0071] 1. The reset component 150 is a tension spring.

[0072] like Figure 3 As shown, the reset member 150 can be in a stretched state, and the tension of the reset member 150 can keep the locking hook 130 locked to the host 110.

[0073] In this embodiment, such as Figures 6-9 As shown, when the user moves the locking hook 130, the locking hook 130 can rotate around the first axis from the first position to the second position. During this process, the reset member 150 is continuously stretched, and the elastic force applied by the reset member 150 to the locking hook 130 continuously increases until the locking hook 130 overcomes the elastic force and rotates to the second position. At this time, the first lock of the cooking appliance 100 is released, and the user can pull the handle to pull the door 120 down, that is, unlock the second lock of the cooking appliance 100.

[0074] After the door is opened, the user can release the lock hook 130. After the force applied to the lock hook 130 to overcome the elasticity disappears, the lock hook 130 can rotate around the first axis from the second position to the first position. During this process, the reset member 150 continuously shortens, and the elastic force applied by the reset member 150 to the lock hook 130 continuously decreases until the lock hook 130 returns to the first position. When the user needs to close the door 120, based on the elastic connection design, the user can directly hold the handle and push the door 120 toward the host 110 until the lock hook 130 and the host 110 lock again. That is, the user's closing action can realize the automatic locking of the child lock.

[0075] 2. The reset component 150 is a torsion spring.

[0076] like Figure 12 As shown, the reset member 150 can be in a torsional state, and the torque of the reset member 150 can keep the locking hook 130 locked to the main unit 110.

[0077] In this embodiment, such as Figures 15-18As shown, when the user pulls the lock hook 130, the lock hook 130 can rotate around the first axis from the first position to the second position, in the process, the torque exerted by the reset member 150 on the lock hook 130 increases continuously until the lock hook 130 rotates to the second position against the torque, at this time, the first lock of the cooking utensil 100 is released, and the user can pull the handle to pull the door body 120 downward, that is, to release the second lock of the cooking utensil 100.

[0078] After the door is opened, the user can release the lock hook 130, and after the human force exerted on the lock hook 130 against the torque disappears, the lock hook 130 can rotate around the first axis from the second position to the first position, in the process, the torque exerted by the reset member 150 on the lock hook 130 decreases continuously until the lock hook 130 returns to the first position, and in the case where the user needs to close the door body 120, based on the design of elastic connection, the user can directly hold the handle to push the door body 120 towards the host 110 until the lock hook 130 is locked with the host 110 again, that is, the user's door closing action can realize automatic locking of the child lock.

[0079] The cooking utensil 100 provided by the embodiments of the present application, through the above-mentioned arrangement of the lock hook 130, the stopper 140 and the reset member 150, on the basis of the original door opening system, a mechanical child lock structure is added to ensure that before the door opening action is completed, the child lock must be released first, and then the entire door opening action can be completed, preventing children from being scalded after touching the heated food after pulling open the door body 120, and helping to improve the safety and reliability of the entire cooking utensil 100.

[0080] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 1 and Figure 10 , the main body part of the lock hook 130 can be pivotably mounted to the outer side of the first one of the door body 120 and the host 110, and the stopper 140 can be mounted to the outer side of the second one of the door body 120 and the host 110.

[0081] The host 110 can include an inner cavity and an outer cover 111, the inner cavity can define a cooking cavity, the main body part of the lock hook 130 can be mounted to the outer side of the door body 120, and the stopper 140 can be mounted to the outer side of the outer cover 111, or the stopper 140 can be mounted to the outer side of the door body 120, and the main body part of the lock hook 130 can be mounted to the outer side of the outer cover 111.

[0082] For example, in some embodiments, as shown in Figure 1 and Figure 10 , the main body part of the lock hook 130 is mounted to the outer side of the door body 120, the stopper 140 is mounted to the outer side of the outer cover 111, and the main body part of the lock hook 130 and the stopper 140 are both located at the top of the cooking utensil 100.

[0083] The cooking utensil 100 provided in the embodiments of the present application is designed by the position of the main body part of the locking hook 130 and the stop part 140, so that the main body part of the locking hook 130 and the stop part 140 are exposed to the outer surface, and when the child lock structure fails and needs to be replaced, the whole door body 120 does not need to be disassembled, which is convenient to operate. Meanwhile, the height of the locking hook 130 is relatively large, and children cannot easily touch the locking hook 130, so that the safety of the child lock structure is ensured.

[0084] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 1 and Figure 10 The pivot axis of the door body 120 can be located at the lower edge frame of the door body 120, the locking hook 130 can be vertically rotatably installed on the upper edge frame of the door body 120, and the stop part 140 can be installed on the upper surface of the main machine 110.

[0085] In actual implementation, based on the pivot axis of the door body 120 being located at the lower edge frame of the door body 120, considering the opening force of the user, the handle can be installed at the position close to the upper edge frame of the door body 120. In the case that the food is cooked and needs to be taken out, the user can pull the locking hook 130 to drive the locking hook 130 to rotate in the up-down direction. In the rotating process, the locking hook 130 gradually moves away from the stop part 140 until the locking hook 130 rotates from the first position to the second position. At this time, the first lock of the cooking utensil 100 is released, the user holds the handle, and the door body 120 can be pulled with a small force. The upper edge frame of the door body 120 can be separated from the main machine 110, and the upper edge frame of the door body 120 can rotate downward around the pivot axis. With the release of the second lock, the door body 120 and the main machine 110 can also be unlocked correspondingly.

[0086] Alternatively, the pivot axis of the door body 120 can be located at the left edge frame or the right edge frame of the door body 120. In actual implementation, the user can pull the locking hook 130 to drive the locking hook 130 to rotate in the left-right direction. In the rotating process, the locking hook 130 gradually moves away from the stop part 140 until the locking hook 130 rotates from the initial position to the unlocking position. At this time, the first lock of the cooking utensil 100 is released, the user holds the handle, and the door body 120 can be pulled with a small force. The upper edge frame of the door body 120 can be separated from the main machine 110, and the upper edge frame of the door body 120 can rotate to the left side or the right side around the pivot axis. With the release of the second lock, the door body 120 and the main machine 110 can also be unlocked correspondingly.

[0087] The cooking utensil 100 provided in the embodiments of the present application is designed by the unlocking structure of the lower opening door, so that the whole cooking utensil 100 occupies a smaller space, improves the volume utilization rate, and is convenient for overall layout. The door body 120 in the form of a lower pull door can be used for transitional hot food after cooking, which is convenient for the user to take and place food, thereby optimizing the overall experience of the machine.

[0088] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 5 and Figure 14 The locking hook 130 includes a locking hook arm 131, a locking hook pivot 133, and an operation part 134.
