[0033] Embodiments of the present application are described in detail below with reference to the attached drawings, which show by way of example, embodiments in which the same or similar elements have the same or similar reference numbers. The embodiments described below are examples only, and are not to be construed as limiting the present application.

[0034] Reference is made below to Figures 1-5 A smoke exhaust assembly 200 of a cooking device 100 according to an embodiment of the present application is described below. The smoke exhaust assembly 200 is arranged in the cooking device 100, which is adapted to generate microwaves to heat food placed in the cooking device 100. In some specific embodiments, the cooking device 100 can be a microwave oven, and the cooking device 100 can be provided with microwave devices to generate microwaves to heat food placed in the cooking device 100.

[0035] As shown in FIG. 1, the cooking device 100 is provided with the smoke exhaust assembly 200. The smoke exhaust assembly 200 is arranged in the cooking device 100, and the smoke exhaust assembly 200 is adapted to exhaust smoke generated in the cooking device 100. Figures 1-5As shown, the smoke exhaust assembly 200 according to the embodiment of the present application comprises a heating tube cover 10, a housing 20 and a smoke exhaust piece 30, the heating tube cover 10 defines a mounting space 101 for mounting a heating assembly 400 of a cooking device 100, wherein the heating assembly 400 can comprise a heating piece 420 and an air exhaust piece 410, in some specific embodiments, the heating piece 420 can be a heating tube, and the air exhaust piece 410 can be a fan, the heat generated by the heating piece 420 can be blown into the cooking device 100 by the air exhaust piece 410 to heat the food in the cooking device 100, and the air frying effect can be achieved. The heating tube cover 10 can reduce the heat loss of the heating assembly 400, thereby improving the heating efficiency of the cooking device 100. The mounting space 101 is adapted to communicate with a heating cavity 310 defined by a cavity assembly 300 of the cooking device 100, so as to ensure that the air exhaust piece 410 can blow hot air into the heating cavity 310, and the oil fume generated in the heating cavity 310 can also flow into the mounting space 101.

[0036] Further, the housing 20 is arranged outside the heating tube cover 10, and the housing 20 can decorate the appearance of the cooking device 100, so as to make the appearance of the cooking device 100 meet the appearance design requirement. The housing 20 is provided with a smoke exhaust opening 201, and the smoke exhaust opening 201 can communicate the inside and outside of the housing 20. Meanwhile, the smoke exhaust piece 30 defines a smoke exhaust channel 301, and the smoke exhaust channel 301 communicates the mounting space 101 and the smoke exhaust opening 201. By arranging the smoke exhaust piece 30 between the mounting space 101 and the smoke exhaust opening 201, the oil fume flowing into the mounting space 101 can be sequentially discharged to the outside of the cooking device 100 through the smoke exhaust channel 301 and the smoke exhaust opening 201, so as to avoid the accumulation of oil fume in the heating cavity 310, and prevent the oil fume from being concentratedly discharged from the heating cavity 310 when the heating cavity 310 is opened, thereby improving the use experience of the cooking device 100.

[0037] In some embodiments of the present application, as shown in Figure 4 , Figure 5 The heating tube cover 10 can be provided with a communication opening 102, the communication opening 102 communicates with the mounting space 101, and the communication opening 102 is opposite to and communicates with the smoke exhaust channel 301. The communication opening 102 can penetrate the heating tube cover 10 along the thickness direction of the heating tube cover 10, the communication opening 102 can communicate the inside and outside of the heating tube cover 10, and the mounting space 101 and the smoke exhaust channel 301 are separated by the heating tube cover 10. By arranging the communication opening 102 on the heating tube cover 10, the oil fume located on the inside of the heating tube cover 10 can flow into the smoke exhaust channel 301 through the communication opening 102 after passing through the heating tube cover 10, so as to ensure that the oil fume in the mounting space 101 can be smoothly discharged to the outside of the heating tube cover 10.

[0038] In some embodiments of the present application, as shown in Figure 2 ,Figure 3 As shown, the communication port 102 is adapted to communicate with the ventilation hole 330 on the top wall 320 of the cavity assembly 300, and the ventilation hole 330 communicates with the heating cavity 310. Among them, the ventilation hole 330 can penetrate the top wall 320 of the cavity assembly 300 along the thickness direction of the top wall 320 of the cavity assembly 300, and the ventilation hole 330 can communicate both sides of the top wall 320 of the cavity assembly 300, wherein, as shown, Figure 3 As shown, the heating cavity 310 is located on the lower side of the top wall 320 of the cavity assembly 300, and the installation space 101 is located on the upper side of the top wall 320 of the cavity assembly 300. The hot air generated by the heating assembly 400 can be blown into the heating cavity 310 through the ventilation hole 330, and the oil fume in the heating cavity 310 can flow into the installation space 101 after passing through the ventilation hole 330 during upward flow, and then the oil fume can be discharged from the installation space 101 to the outside of the heating pipe cover 10 through the communication port 102. Therefore, the oil fume in the heating cavity 310 can be discharged to the outside of the cooking device 100 along the flow path of the exhaust smoke, avoiding the accumulation of oil fume in the heating cavity 310, and improving the use experience of the cooking device 100.

[0039] In some embodiments of the present application, as shown, Figures 3-5 The heating pipe cover 10 includes a side wall 103 and a top cover 104, and the side wall 103 and the top cover 104 jointly define an installation space 101. Among them, the installation space 101 defined by the heating pipe cover 10 is open at one end, as shown, Figure 3 As shown, the open end of the installation space 101 can be open towards the top wall 320 (i.e. Figure 3 The installation space 101 opens downward in the middle), and the side wall 103 and the top cover 104 of the heating pipe cover 10 can prevent the oil fume in the installation space 101 from escaping, and at the same time, the side wall 103 and the top cover 104 of the heating pipe cover 10 can prevent the heat in the cooking device 100 from being lost. One of the side wall 103 and the top cover 104 of the heating pipe cover 10 can be provided with a communication port 102, and the smoke exhaust member 30 can be opposite to the one of the side wall 103 and the top cover 104 of the heating pipe cover 10 provided with the communication port 102, so that the oil fume flowing out of the installation space 101 can flow into the smoke exhaust member 30, and the exhaust smoke path can be unobstructed.

[0040] Further, the oil fume in the installation space 101 is suitable to be driven by the exhaust part 410 of the heating assembly 400 to flow towards the communication port 102. When the exhaust part 410 is a fan, part of the airflow generated by the fan can flow towards the outside of the heating pipe cover 10. When the flow direction of the oil fume airflow generated by the exhaust part 410 is towards the communication port 102, the oil fume can be discharged to the outside of the cooking device 100 through the communication port 102. By using the exhaust part 410 to assist the smoke exhaust assembly 200 to discharge the oil fume, the flow of the oil fume flowing through the smoke exhaust part 30 can be improved, and the difficulty of the smoke exhaust of the cooking device 100 can be reduced, so that the oil fume in the heating cavity 310 can be discharged more completely.

[0041] In some embodiments of the present application, as shown in Figure 4 、 Figure 5 , the communication port 102 can be arranged on the side wall 103 of the heating pipe cover 10. Among them, the number of components of the cooking device 100 located outside the side wall 103 of the heating pipe cover 10 is less, arranging the communication port 102 on the side wall 103 of the heating pipe cover 10 can avoid the interference between the smoke exhaust assembly 200 and each component in the cooking device 100, so that the smoke exhaust part 30 can be more easily arranged between the shell 20 and the heating pipe cover 10, the assembly difficulty of the cooking device 100 can be reduced, and the production efficiency of the cooking device 100 can be improved.

[0042] In some embodiments of the present application, as shown in Figures 3-5 , the heating pipe cover 10 can be provided with a first connecting part 105, and the smoke exhaust part 30 can be provided with a second connecting part. The first connecting part 105 and the second connecting part are connected and matched to fix the smoke exhaust part 30 to the heating pipe cover 10. By fixing the smoke exhaust part 30 to the heating pipe cover 10, the gap between the smoke exhaust part 30 and the heating pipe cover 10 can be avoided when the heating pipe cover 10 moves, so that the oil fume can be prevented from seeping out of the smoke exhaust part 30 through the gap between the smoke exhaust part 30 and the heating pipe cover 10, and the smoke exhaust effect of the smoke exhaust assembly 200 can be prevented from being reduced, which helps to improve the working stability of the smoke exhaust assembly 200. At this time, the heating pipe cover 10 and the smoke exhaust part 30 can be configured as separate parts, and the heating pipe cover 10 and the smoke exhaust part 30 can be assembled together by fasteners 40. In this way, the heating pipe cover 10 and the smoke exhaust part 30 can be machined separately, so that the machining difficulty of the smoke exhaust assembly 200 can be reduced. Of course, in other embodiments, the heating pipe cover 10 and the smoke exhaust part 30 can also be welded together by welding or other methods, so that the heating pipe cover 10 and the smoke exhaust part 30 are configured as an integral part. In this way, the connection strength of the heating pipe cover 10 and the smoke exhaust part 30 can be improved.

[0043] In some embodiments of the present application, as shown in Figures 3-5As shown, the first connecting part 105 comprises a first connecting hole, and the second connecting part comprises a second connecting hole, and the first connecting part 105 is connected and matched with the second connecting part by sequentially penetrating the first connecting hole and the second connecting hole by the fastener 40. Specifically, the fastener 40 can be a screw, a bolt or a rivet, etc., and by sequentially penetrating the first connecting part 105 and the second connecting part by the fastener 40 to connect and match the first connecting part 105 and the second connecting part, the heating tube cover 10 and the smoke exhaust member 30 can be reliably installed together, and thus the connection reliability between the heating tube cover 10 and the smoke exhaust member 30 can be improved, and the smoke exhaust member 30 can be prevented from falling off from the outside of the heating tube cover 10.

[0044] In some embodiments of the present application, as shown in Figure 3 The smoke exhaust member 30 is adapted to pass through the avoiding opening 510 of the heat shield 500 of the cooking device 100. The heat shield 500 can be provided with the avoiding opening 510 corresponding to the smoke exhaust member 30, and the avoiding opening 510 can avoid the smoke exhaust member 30, so that the smoke exhaust member 30 can be prevented from interfering with the heat shield 500, and the smoke exhaust assembly 200 can be ensured to be smoothly assembled with the heat shield 500. In addition, part of the structure of the smoke exhaust member 30 can be located in the heat shield 500, so that the structure of the cooking device 100 can be more compact, which helps to reduce the size of the cooking device 100, thereby reducing the transportation cost of the cooking device 100. In some specific embodiments, the avoiding opening 510 can be configured as a hole structure, and the smoke exhaust member 30 can be pre-assembled with the heat shield 500 to ensure that the smoke exhaust member 30 can pass through the avoiding opening 510. In some other specific embodiments, the avoiding opening 510 can be configured as a groove structure, and the avoiding opening 510 can be open towards the smoke exhaust assembly 200, i.e., as shown in Figure 3 The avoiding opening 510 can be open downward, and the smoke exhaust member 30 can extend into the avoiding opening 510 from the open end of the avoiding opening 510, so that the assembly of the smoke exhaust member 30 and the heat shield 500 can be facilitated.

[0045] In some embodiments of the present application, as shown in Figures 1-3 The shell 20 can have a rear shell wall 202, and the rear shell wall 202 can be provided with a smoke exhaust opening 201 opposite to the communicating opening 102. When the cooking device 100 is placed in a room, the rear shell wall 202 of the shell 20 is located on the side of the cooking device 100 away from the user, and the rear shell wall 202 of the shell 20 is usually arranged opposite to the indoor wall. By arranging the smoke exhaust opening 201 on the rear shell wall 202 of the shell 20, when the oil fume is exhausted from the smoke exhaust opening 201 to the outside of the heating cavity 310, the exhaust direction of the oil fume is not directly opposite to the user, so that the user can be prevented from feeling uncomfortable due to being smoked by the oil fume, and thus the use experience of the cooking device 100 can be improved.

[0046] In some specific implementations, a mesh structure can be provided at the exhaust vent 201. This mesh structure can cover the exhaust vent 201 and the exhaust channel 301, thus ensuring the cooking appliance 100 meets aesthetic design requirements and preventing dust from the outside of the cooking appliance 100 from entering the heating chamber 310 through the exhaust vent 201 and exhaust channel 301, thereby ensuring cleanliness and hygiene inside the heating chamber 310. Furthermore, a dust shield can be provided at each mesh opening of the mesh structure. The dust shield can partially cover the mesh opening, further preventing dust from passing through the mesh opening and entering the heating chamber 310, thus further improving the cleanliness inside the heating chamber 310. Simultaneously, the dust shield can guide the oil fumes flowing through the mesh openings, allowing the oil fumes to flow along the surface of the dust shield. The dust shield can guide the oil fumes flowing through the mesh openings along the height direction of the cooking appliance 100 (i.e.,...). Figure 3 The airflow is directed downwards (in the vertical direction), which further prevents the exhaust direction of the cooking device 100 from facing the user, thereby further improving the user experience of the cooking device 100.

[0047] In some embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 1 , Figure 3 As shown, the exhaust component 30 abuts against the rear shell wall 202. By abutting the exhaust component 30 against the rear shell wall 202, the gap between the exhaust component 30 and the rear shell wall 202 is reduced. As the fumes flow from the exhaust channel 301 toward the exhaust port 201, the fumes are less likely to seep out of the exhaust component 30 through the gap between the exhaust component 30 and the rear shell wall 202, thus preventing fumes from seeping into the shell 20. This ensures that the inside of the shell 20 is clean and tidy, reduces the cleaning difficulty of the cooking device 100, and helps to improve the user experience of the cooking device 100.

[0048] The cooking apparatus 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention includes the exhaust assembly 200 of the above embodiment. The exhaust assembly 200 is disposed in the cooking apparatus 100. During the cooking process of food in the cooking apparatus 100, the oil fumes generated in the heating chamber 310 can be discharged from the exhaust port 201 through the installation space 101 and the exhaust channel 301 in sequence. Compared with the prior art, the exhaust assembly 200 can prevent oil fumes from accumulating in the heating chamber 310, thereby preventing oil fumes from being concentratedly discharged from the heating chamber 310 when the user turns on the heating chamber 310, thereby improving the user experience of the cooking apparatus 100.
