Description

Technical Field

[0001] The embodiments of the present invention relate to the field of kitchen appliance technology, and more specifically, to an interlocking device and a cooking appliance. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, microwave ovens in this technology do not have corresponding child lock protection devices. Children can easily accidentally touch the door opening button or handle, and can open the door with just a light press or pull, which can easily cause children to be burned by heated food. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The embodiments of the present invention are intended to at least solve one of the technical problems existing in the prior art.

[0004] Therefore, a first aspect of the embodiments of the present invention provides an interlocking device.

[0005] A second aspect of the present invention provides a cooking apparatus.

[0006] In view of the above, according to a first aspect of the present invention, an interlocking device is provided for cooperating with a door body, the door body including a door hook, the interlocking device including: a rotating member, the rotating member being movable to cooperate with the door hook to move the door hook between an open position and a closed position; a limiting block, movable between a first position and a second position; a triggering component, which, when triggered, can push the limiting block from the first position to the second position; wherein, based on the limiting block being in the first position, the limiting block restricts the movement of the rotating member to lock the door hook in the closed position; based on the limiting block being in the second position, the limiting block releases the restriction on the movement of the rotating member, and the door hook can move to the open position.

[0007] The interlocking device provided in this embodiment of the invention includes a rotating component, a limiting block, and a triggering assembly. Specifically, the rotating component's movement can cooperate with the door hook, allowing the door hook to move between an open position and a closed position. It is understood that the rotating component can move in opposite first and second directions. When closing the door, the user pushes the door, causing the door hook to move. Because the door hook cooperates with the rotating component, during the closing process, the door hook can push the rotating component to move along the first direction, and the rotating component can pull the door hook to the closed position during its movement, i.e., the door is in the closed position.

[0008] When the door is opened, the user pulls the door handle, and the door moves the door hook. Because the door hook cooperates with the rotating part, the door hook drives the rotating part to move in the second direction during the opening process, and the rotating part can push the door hook to the open position during the movement, that is, the door is in the open position.

[0009] In practical applications, the door hook is fixed relative to the door body; that is, it is a fixed door hook. The opening and closing of the door is achieved through the cooperation of the fixed door hook and the rotating component. It is worth noting that the door body is equipped with an upper door hook and a lower door hook. Both the upper and lower door hooks can be fixed, or the lower door hook can be fixed while the upper door hook is movable. The specific configuration can be determined according to actual needs.

[0010] Microwave ovens in this technology allow users to open or close the cooking cavity by pulling or pressing the door to access food inside. However, because they lack child locks and the opening force is less than 25N, children can easily accidentally press the door button or pull the handle, opening the door with a light press or pull, resulting in burns from heated food or utensils inside the cooking cavity.

[0011] The limit stop can move between a first position and a second position. When the trigger component is activated, it can push the limit stop from the first position to the second position. Specifically, when the limit stop is in the first position, it restricts the movement of the rotating component. Because the limit stop restricts the movement of the rotating component, and the rotating component cooperates with the door hook, the door hook cannot move to the open position, even if it is locked in the closed position. In other words, when the limit stop is in the first position, the door cannot be opened even if the door handle is pulled.

[0012] When the door needs to be opened, the trigger component is activated. When the trigger component is activated, it can push the limit block to the second position. When the limit block is in the second position, it can release the movement restriction on the rotating part. In other words, the rotating part is unlocked. At this time, pulling the door handle will cause the door hook to move and drive the rotating part to the open position, thus realizing the door opening operation.

[0013] By setting a limit stop that can move between a first position and a second position, when you want to open the door, you need to first trigger the trigger component to move the limit stop to the second position, thereby releasing the movement restriction on the rotating part, so that the door can be opened. This increases the steps to open the door, thus increasing the difficulty of opening the door. This reduces the risk of children accidentally touching the door opening button or handle, which could easily open the oven door with a light press or pull, resulting in burns from the heated food or utensils inside the cooking cavity. It effectively avoids accidental operation and thus effectively improves the safety of using cooking equipment.

[0014] Understandably, a portion of the trigger component can be exposed on the door, making it easier for the user to unlock the door by operating the trigger component or rotating the mechanism.

[0015] The door is equipped with a handle, which users can pull to open the door, improving user convenience.

[0016] In addition, the interlocking device provided by the above-described technical solution of the present invention also has the following additional technical features:

[0017] In one possible technical solution, the triggering component includes a bracket and a trigger member, wherein the trigger member is slidably connected to the bracket, and when the trigger member is triggered, it can push the limit block from the first position to the second position.

[0018] In this technical solution, the triggering component is defined as including a bracket and a triggering element. Specifically, the triggering element is connected to the bracket and can slide relative to the bracket, so that when the triggering element is triggered, the triggering element can push the limiting block from the first position to the second position.

[0019] In detail, when the limit block is in the first position, the limit block can restrict the movement of the rotating part. Since the limit block restricts the movement of the rotating part and the rotating part cooperates with the door hook, the door hook cannot move to the open position. Even if the door hook is locked in the closed position, that is to say, when the limit block is in the first position, even if the door handle is pulled, the door cannot be opened.

[0020] When the door needs to be opened, the trigger is activated. When the trigger is activated, it slides relative to the bracket, thereby pushing the limit block to the second position. When the limit block is in the second position, it can release the restriction on the movement of the rotating part. In other words, the rotating part is unlocked. At this time, pulling the door handle will cause the door hook to move, thus moving the door hook to the open position and realizing the door opening operation.

[0021] By setting a limit stop, the device can move between a first position and a second position. To open the door, the trigger must first be activated to slide relative to the bracket. During this sliding process, the limit stop is pushed to the second position, thereby releasing the restriction on the movement of the rotating part and enabling the door to be opened. This increases the steps required to open the door, thus increasing the difficulty of opening the door. This reduces the risk of children being burned by heated food or utensils inside the cooking cavity due to accidental pressing or pulling of the door opening button or handle. It effectively avoids accidental operation and thus effectively improves the safety of using cooking equipment.

[0022] In one possible technical solution, the triggering component further includes a first elastic element, a first end of which is connected to a bracket, and a second end of which is connected to a triggering element. The first elastic element is used to reset the triggering element after it is triggered.

[0023] In this technical solution, the triggering component further includes a first elastic element. Specifically, one end of the first elastic element is connected to the bracket, and the other end is connected to the trigger element. The first elastic element enables the trigger element to reset after being triggered. That is, when the trigger element is triggered, the limit block moves to the second position, thereby unlocking the rotating component and opening the door. After the trigger element is released, the first elastic element can drive the trigger element to slide back and reset, so that when the door needs to be opened again after closing, the rotating component can be unlocked by triggering the trigger element.

[0024] In detail, when the limit block is in the first position, the limit block can restrict the movement of the rotating part. Since the limit block restricts the movement of the rotating part and the rotating part cooperates with the door hook, the door hook cannot move to the open position. Even if the door hook is locked in the closed position, that is to say, when the limit block is in the first position, even if the door handle is pulled, the door cannot be opened.

[0025] When the door needs to be opened, the trigger is activated. When activated, the trigger slides relative to the bracket, causing it to push the limit block to the second position. When the limit block is in the second position, it releases the restriction on the movement of the rotating component. At this point, the first elastic element deforms, specifically, it extends. That is, the rotating component is unlocked. Pulling the door handle then causes the door hook to move, moving the rotating component to the open position, thus opening the door. After the door is opened, releasing the trigger causes the first elastic element to move the trigger in the opposite direction and reset.

[0026] By setting a limit stop, the device can move between a first position and a second position. To open the door, the trigger must first be activated to slide relative to the bracket. During this sliding process, the limit stop is pushed to the second position, thereby releasing the restriction on the movement of the rotating part and enabling the door to be opened. This increases the steps required to open the door, thus increasing the difficulty of opening the door. This reduces the risk of children being burned by heated food or utensils inside the cooking cavity due to accidental pressing or pulling of the door opening button or handle. It effectively avoids accidental operation and thus effectively improves the safety of using cooking equipment.

[0027] By setting the first elastic element, the trigger element can be automatically reset after being triggered, which improves the convenience of users using cooking equipment with this interlocking device and thus enhances the user experience.

[0028] In practical applications, the first elastic element is a tension spring.

[0029] In one possible technical solution, the trigger includes a triggering part, a supporting part, and a driving part, wherein the supporting part is connected to the triggering part, the driving part is connected to the supporting part, and the driving part is used to push the limit block from the first position to the second position.

[0030] In this technical solution, the triggering element is defined as including a triggering part, a supporting part, and a driving part. Specifically, the supporting part is connected to the triggering part, and the driving part is connected to the supporting part. When the triggering part is triggered, the triggering part can drive the supporting part to slide relative to the bracket. At the same time, the supporting part can drive the driving part to slide relative to the bracket. During the sliding process, the driving part pushes the limiting block to move to the second position to release the movement restriction on the rotating part.

[0031] In detail, when the limit block is in the first position, the limit block can restrict the movement of the rotating part. Since the limit block restricts the movement of the rotating part and the rotating part cooperates with the door hook, the door hook cannot move to the open position. Even if the door hook is locked in the closed position, that is to say, when the limit block is in the first position, even if the door handle is pulled, the door cannot be opened.

[0032] When the door needs to be opened, the trigger is activated. When activated, the trigger causes the support to slide relative to the bracket. Simultaneously, the support causes the drive to slide relative to the bracket. During this sliding process, the drive pushes the limit block to the second position, releasing the restriction on the movement of the rotating component. At this time, the first elastic element deforms; specifically, it extends. Pulling the door handle then causes the door hook to move, moving it to the open position and opening the door.

[0033] Specifically, the first elastic element is connected to the support part. When the door is opened, the trigger part is released, the first elastic element drives the support part, and the support part drives the drive part and the trigger part to move in opposite directions and reset.

[0034] In practical applications, the drive unit, support unit, and trigger unit are integrated into a single structure. It is understood that an integrated structure has good mechanical properties, which can improve the connection strength between the drive unit, support unit, and trigger unit, and ensure effective power transmission.

[0035] Furthermore, the integrated structure facilitates the processing and production of the trigger element, thereby reducing the production cost of the interlocking device and the cooking equipment with the interlocking device.

[0036] In one possible technical solution, the limiting block includes a block body and a drive groove, wherein the drive groove is provided on the block body, a part of the drive part can extend into the drive groove and can cooperate with the mating wall of the block body located in the drive groove.

[0037] In this technical solution, the limiting block includes a block body and a drive groove. Specifically, the drive groove is disposed on the block body, and a portion of the drive unit can extend into the drive groove. The limiting block also includes a mating wall, which is disposed on the block body and located within the drive groove.

[0038] When the door needs to be opened, the trigger is activated. When activated, the trigger causes the support to slide relative to the bracket. Simultaneously, the support causes the drive to slide relative to the bracket. During this sliding process, the drive engages with the mating wall in the drive groove to push the stop block body, moving it to the second position and releasing the restriction on the rotation of the rotating component. At this point, the first elastic element deforms, specifically, it elongates. Pulling the door handle then causes the door hook to move, moving it to the open position and opening the door. This increases the steps required to open the door, making it more difficult to open, but also reduces the risk of children accidentally opening the door by pressing or pulling the button or handle, thus preventing burns from heated food or utensils inside the cooking cavity. This effectively avoids accidental operation and improves the safety of the cooking equipment.

[0039] By extending a portion of the drive unit into the drive groove and engaging with the mating wall to move the stop body from the first position to the second position, effective engagement between the drive unit and the limit stop can be ensured, thereby ensuring efficient power transmission.

[0040] In one possible technical solution, the limiting block further includes a first opening, which is located on the block body and communicates with the drive groove. The first opening is positioned opposite to the mating wall.

[0041] In this technical solution, the limiting block is further defined as including a first opening. Specifically, the first opening is set on the block body, the first opening is connected to the drive groove, and the first opening is set opposite to the mating wall. That is, the mating wall is located on one side of the drive groove, and the first opening is located on the side of the drive groove opposite to the mating wall.

[0042] In detail, when the door is closed, the door hook drives the rotating component to move. During this movement, a portion of the rotating component pushes the stop body until the portion of the rotating component separates from the stop body. The rotating component then moves to the target position, completing the door closing operation. When the portion of the rotating component separates from the stop body, the stop body automatically returns to the first position due to gravity, thus limiting the movement of the rotating component. By providing the first opening, interference between the stop body and the drive unit can be avoided during the closing process when the portion of the rotating component pushes the stop body, ensuring the effective execution of the door closing operation.

[0043] In one possible technical solution, the triggering component further includes a first sliding part and a second sliding part, wherein the first sliding part is disposed on one of the bracket and the triggering member, and the second sliding part is disposed on the other of the bracket and the triggering member. The second sliding part can cooperate with the first sliding part so that when the triggering member is triggered, it can slide relative to the bracket.

[0044] In this technical solution, the triggering component is further defined as including a first sliding part and a second sliding part. Specifically, the first sliding part is provided on the bracket, and the second sliding part is provided on the corresponding triggering element. Alternatively, the second sliding part is provided on the bracket, and the first sliding part is provided on the corresponding triggering element. The specific configuration can be adjusted according to actual needs.

[0045] The first sliding part can cooperate with the second sliding part so that when the trigger is activated, the trigger can slide relative to the bracket, thereby pushing the limit block to the second position to release the movement restriction on the rotating part.

[0046] In practical applications, one of the first sliding part and the second sliding part is a guide rail and the other is a slide groove. The guide rail can cooperate with the slide groove so that when the trigger part is activated, the support part can drive the drive part to slide relative to the bracket.

[0047] In one possible technical solution, the bracket includes a first mounting part and a second mounting part, wherein the second mounting part is connected to the first mounting part, and a first sliding part or a second sliding part is disposed on the second mounting part.

[0048] In this technical solution, the bracket is defined to include a first mounting part and a second mounting part. Specifically, the second mounting part is connected to the first mounting part, and the first sliding part is disposed on the second mounting part, or the second sliding part is disposed on the second mounting part. The specific configuration can be made according to actual needs.

[0049] The first mounting part is used for the fixed installation of the bracket. That is, the bracket is fixedly installed through the first mounting part. Specifically, the first mounting part can be fixedly connected to the second mounting bracket of the interlocking device to achieve the fixed installation of the bracket.

[0050] In detail, when the limit block is in the first position, the limit block can restrict the movement of the rotating part. Since the limit block restricts the movement of the rotating part and the rotating part cooperates with the door hook, the door hook cannot move to the open position. Even if the door hook is locked in the closed position, that is to say, when the limit block is in the first position, even if the door handle is pulled, the door cannot be opened.

[0051] When the door needs to be opened, the trigger is activated. When the trigger is activated, it slides relative to the bracket, thereby pushing the limit block to the second position. When the limit block is in the second position, it can release the restriction on the movement of the rotating part. In other words, the rotating part is unlocked. At this time, pulling the door handle will cause the door hook to move, thus moving the door hook to the open position and realizing the door opening operation.

[0052] By setting a limit stop, the device can move between a first position and a second position. To open the door, the trigger must first be activated to slide relative to the bracket. During this sliding process, the limit stop is pushed to the second position, thereby releasing the restriction on the movement of the rotating part and enabling the door to be opened. This increases the steps required to open the door, thus increasing the difficulty of opening the door. This reduces the risk of children being burned by heated food or utensils inside the cooking cavity due to accidental pressing or pulling of the door opening button or handle. It effectively avoids accidental operation and thus effectively improves the safety of using cooking equipment.

[0053] In practical applications, the first mounting part and the second mounting part are an integral structure. It is understood that the integral structure has good mechanical properties, which can improve the connection strength between the first mounting part and the second mounting part and ensure the effective cooperation between the trigger and the bracket.

[0054] In addition, the integrated structure facilitates the processing and production of the support, thereby reducing the production cost of the interlocking device and the cooking equipment with the interlocking device.

[0055] In one possible technical solution, the interlocking device further includes a first mounting bracket and a second mounting bracket, wherein the rotating member is rotatably mounted on the first mounting bracket, the second mounting bracket is connected to the first mounting bracket and surrounds to form a mounting cavity, a portion of the rotating member is located in the mounting cavity, and a limiting block is rotatably mounted on the side of the second mounting bracket away from the mounting cavity.

[0056] In this technical solution, the interlocking device further includes a first mounting bracket and a second mounting bracket. Specifically, the first mounting bracket is connected to the second mounting bracket, and the first and second mounting brackets enclose a mounting cavity, that is, the side of the first mounting bracket near the second mounting bracket and the side of the second mounting bracket near the first mounting bracket form the mounting cavity. The rotating component is located within the mounting cavity, meaning the mounting cavity provides a space for the rotating component. This protects the rotating component, preventing external forces from directly acting on it, thereby extending its service life. Furthermore, by placing a portion of the rotating component within the mounting cavity, it reduces the entry of dirt and impurities into the rotating component, ensuring its cleanliness and thus ensuring the reliability of the cooperation between the various components of the interlocking device.

[0057] The rotating component is mounted on the first mounting bracket and can rotate relative to the first mounting bracket. That is, during the opening and closing of the door, the door hook cooperates with the rotating component, thereby causing the rotating component to rotate relative to the first mounting bracket to complete the opening and closing operation.

[0058] The limiting block is located on the side of the second mounting bracket away from the mounting cavity, and the limiting block can rotate relative to the second mounting bracket. When the triggering component is triggered, the triggering component can push the limiting block to rotate from the first position to the second position, thereby releasing the movement restriction on the rotating part. By pulling the door body, the door opening operation can be realized through the cooperation of the door hook and the rotating part.

[0059] In one possible technical solution, the rotating component is provided with a limiting post; the interlocking device further includes a first clearance opening, which is located on the second mounting bracket. The limiting post extends out of the second mounting bracket through the first clearance opening and can move within the first clearance opening; wherein, based on the limiting block being located in the first position, the limiting post is located on the first side of the first clearance opening, and the limiting block prevents the limiting post from moving from the first side to the second side of the first clearance opening; based on the limiting block being located in the second position, the limiting post can move from the first side to the second side.

[0060] In this technical solution, the interlocking device is further defined as including a first clearance opening. Specifically, the first clearance opening is set on the second mounting bracket, and the rotating part is provided with a limit post. The limit post extends out of the second mounting bracket through the first clearance opening, that is, the first clearance opening is connected to the mounting cavity.

[0061] During the opening and closing of the door, the limiting post can move within the first clearance opening. The second mounting bracket includes a first side and a second side located at the first clearance opening and disposed opposite to each other. It is understood that when the limiting post is located at the first side, the door is closed, and when the limiting post moves from the first side to the second side, the door is opened.

[0062] In detail, when the door is in the closed state, the limit block is in the first position and the limit post is in the first side. At this time, since the limit block is in the first position, the limit post cannot move from the first side to the second side. That is, the limit block blocks the movement path of the limit post, which restricts the movement of the limit post and thus restricts the movement of the rotating part so that the door hook is locked in the closed position.

[0063] When the trigger component is triggered, it pushes the limit block from the first position to the second position. At this time, the limit block avoids the movement path of the limit post, and the limit post can move from the first side to the second side, thereby realizing the door opening operation.

[0064] When the door is closed, the door hook pushes the rotating component to rotate relative to the first mounting bracket. At the same time, it drives the limiting post to move within the first clearance opening. During the movement of the limiting post, it pushes the limiting block to rotate relative to the second mounting bracket until the limiting block separates from the limiting post. The limiting post moves to the first side of the first clearance opening, and the limiting block automatically resets to the first position due to gravity, realizing the door closing operation. Since the limiting block is in the first position, it restricts the movement of the limiting post from the first side to the second side, thereby restricting the movement of the rotating component and locking the door hook in the closed position, realizing the function of a child lock.

[0065] This increases the steps involved in opening the door, making it more difficult to open and reducing the risk of children being burned by heated food or utensils inside the cooking cavity due to accidental pressing or pulling of the door button or handle. This effectively prevents misoperation and thus improves the safety of using cooking equipment.

[0066] In one possible technical solution, the interlocking device further includes a limiting groove, which is disposed on the second mounting bracket and communicates with the first clearance opening. A portion of the limiting block is located in the limiting groove. When the limiting post is located on the second side, a portion of the limiting post can extend into the limiting groove through the first clearance opening and can push the limiting block to move, so that the limiting post can move from the second side to the first side.

[0067] In this technical solution, the interlocking device further includes a limiting groove. Specifically, the limiting groove is located on the second mounting bracket and communicates with the first clearance opening. A portion of the limiting block is located within the limiting groove. More specifically, when the limiting post is located on the second side, i.e., when the door is open, a portion of the limiting post extends into the limiting groove through the first clearance opening. During the closing process, the limiting post pushes the limiting block to rotate relative to the second mounting bracket until the limiting block separates from the limiting post. The limiting post moves to the first side of the first clearance opening, and the limiting block automatically resets to the first position due to gravity, thus achieving the closing operation. Because the limiting block is in the first position, it restricts the movement of the limiting post from the first side to the second side, thereby restricting the movement of the rotating component and locking the door hook in the closed position, achieving the function of a child lock.

[0068] By setting a limit groove, the limit block can be restricted to rotating in only one direction, ensuring the stable operation of the door opening and closing process and avoiding the problem of the limit block interfering with other components when it can rotate in multiple directions. This improves the reliability of cooking equipment with this interlocking device during the door opening and closing process.

[0069] In one possible technical solution, the interlocking device further includes a first limiting wall and a second opening. The first limiting wall is disposed on the second mounting bracket and located in the limiting groove. When the limiting block moves to the first position, the first limiting wall can prevent the limiting block from continuing to move. The second opening communicates with the limiting groove and is disposed opposite to the first limiting wall.

[0070] In this technical solution, the interlocking device is further defined as including a first limiting wall and a second opening. Specifically, the first limiting wall is disposed on the second mounting bracket, the first limiting wall is located in the limiting groove, and when the limiting block moves to the first position, the first limiting wall can prevent the limiting block from continuing to move.

[0071] It is understandable that when the trigger component is triggered, it pushes the limiting block from the first position to the second position through the mating wall opposite to the first opening. At this time, the limiting post can move from the first side to the second side to realize the door opening process. After the door is opened, the trigger component is released, the first elastic element drives the trigger element to reset, and the limiting block moves from the second position to the first position due to gravity.

[0072] When the door is closed, the limiting post pushes the limiting block to move until the limiting post and the limiting block separate. The limiting post moves from the second side to the first side, and the limiting block moves to the first position due to gravity. When the limiting block moves to the first position, the first limiting wall can prevent the limiting block from moving further. Thus, by setting the first limiting wall, the limiting block can only move from the first position to the second position, or return from the second position to the first position. In other words, when the limiting block moves to the first position, the first limiting wall prevents the limiting block from moving further, ensuring the stable operation of the door opening and closing process, avoiding the problem of the limiting block continuing to rotate and interfering with other components, and improving the reliability of the cooking equipment with this interlocking device during the door opening and closing process.

[0073] The second opening is connected to the limiting groove and is set opposite to the first limiting wall, thereby ensuring that the limiting block can move from the first position to the second position to unlock the rotating part.

[0074] In one possible technical solution, the interlocking device further includes a second limiting wall, which is disposed on the second mounting bracket. When the limiting block moves to the second position, it contacts the second limiting wall.

[0075] In this technical solution, the interlocking device is further defined as including a second limiting wall. Specifically, the second limiting wall is disposed on the second mounting bracket. When the limiting block moves to the second position, the limiting block contacts the second limiting wall, thereby limiting the limiting block by the second limiting wall and preventing the limiting block from continuing to rotate. Even if the limiting block can only rotate within a certain range, the problem of excessive rotation of the limiting block and interference with other components is further avoided, thereby improving the reliability of the cooking equipment with this interlocking device during the opening and closing process.

[0076] In one possible technical solution, the second mounting bracket is provided with a positioning post, a positioning groove and a first mounting hole; the interlocking device further includes a positioning hole, a second mounting hole and fasteners, wherein the positioning hole is provided on the bracket, the second mounting hole is provided on the bracket, a part of the bracket is embedded in the positioning groove, the positioning post passes through the positioning hole, and the fasteners pass through the first mounting hole and the second mounting hole respectively, so that the bracket is connected to the second mounting bracket.

[0077] In this technical solution, the interlocking device is further defined as including a positioning hole, a second mounting hole, and fasteners. Specifically, a positioning post is provided on the second mounting bracket, the positioning hole is located on the bracket, and the positioning post can pass through the positioning hole. A positioning groove is also provided on the second mounting bracket, and a part of the bracket can be embedded in the positioning groove, thereby further improving the installation stability and reliability of the bracket.

[0078] The second mounting bracket is also provided with a first mounting hole, and the support is provided with a second mounting hole. Fasteners pass through the first mounting hole and the second mounting hole respectively, thereby completing the fixed connection between the support and the second mounting bracket.

[0079] In practical applications, the first and second mounting holes are threaded holes, and the fasteners are screws. The specific settings can be configured according to actual needs.

[0080] In one possible technical solution, the rotating component includes a rotating body, a first rotating arm, and a second rotating arm. The first rotating arm is connected to the rotating body, and the second rotating arm is connected to the rotating body and forms a rotating groove with the first rotating arm at a distance. A portion of the door hook can be located in the rotating groove so that the rotating component can cooperate with the door hook.

[0081] In this technical solution, the rotating component is defined as including a rotating body, a first rotating arm and a second rotating arm. Specifically, the first rotating arm and the second rotating arm are connected to the rotating body, and the first rotating arm and the second rotating arm are spaced apart. The first rotating arm and the second rotating arm form a rotating groove, and a part of the door hook can be located in the rotating groove so that the rotating component can cooperate with the door hook.

[0082] In detail, when closing the door, the user pushes the door, causing the door hook to move. After the door hook moves to a certain position, it contacts the first rotating arm and pushes the first rotating arm to rotate relative to the first mounting bracket. At the same time, the first rotating arm drives the rotating body and the second rotating arm to rotate. During the process of the door hook pushing the first rotating arm, a part of the door hook slides into the rotating groove, so that the rotating component can pull the door hook to the closed position during rotation, that is, the door is in the closed position.

[0083] When the door is opened, the user pulls the door handle, which causes the door hook to move. Since part of the door hook is located in the rotating groove, the door hook drives the rotating component to rotate during the opening process. The rotating component can push the door hook until part of the door hook moves out of the rotating groove, that is, the door is in the open position.

[0084] By setting a rotating groove, an effective fit between the door hook and the rotating component is ensured.

[0085] The limiting post is set on the rotating body, so that when the rotating body rotates relative to the first mounting bracket, it can drive the limiting post to move within the first clearance opening.

[0086] In one possible technical solution, the interlocking device further includes a buffer element connected to the rotating element, which is used to reduce the rotational speed of the rotating element when it rotates away from the door hook.

[0087] In this technical solution, the interlocking device also includes a buffer component. Specifically, the buffer component is connected to the rotating component and can slow down the rotational speed of the rotating component when it rotates away from the door hook. It is understood that when the door is opened, the door hook pulls the rotating component towards the door hook; when the door is closed, the door hook pushes the rotating component away from the door hook. In other words, the buffer component can slow down the rotational speed of the rotating component when the door is closed, thereby slowing down the closing speed of the door, reducing noise generated during closing, and improving the user experience.

[0088] In practical applications, buffer components include dampers.

[0089] The buffer is mounted on the first mounting bracket and is located inside the mounting cavity, which provides a space for the buffer, thereby protecting it and preventing external forces from acting directly on it, thus extending the service life of the buffer.

[0090] In addition, by placing the buffer inside the mounting cavity, dirt and impurities can be reduced from entering the buffer, ensuring its cleanliness and thus ensuring the reliability of the interlocking device's components.

[0091] In one possible technical solution, the rotating component is provided with a transition groove and a transition part, the transition part is located in the transition groove, and the buffer component is connected to the rotating component through the transition part.

[0092] In this technical solution, the rotating part is provided with a transition groove and a transition part. Specifically, the transition part is set in the transition groove, and the buffer part is connected to the rotating part through the transition part. That is to say, the transition groove has the function of accommodating the transition part and connecting the transition part, in order to ensure the fit dimensions between the transition part and the buffer part.

[0093] Specifically, the adapter and the adapter slot are detachably connected. This design reduces the processing difficulty of the product, facilitates mass production of the adapter, and helps reduce the production cost of the product. Because the adapter and the adapter slot are detachably connected, when the adapter is severely worn, the normal use of the product can be ensured by replacing the adapter, which helps reduce the cost of subsequent repair and maintenance.

[0094] According to a second aspect of the present invention, a cooking apparatus is provided, including an interlocking device as provided by any of the above-described technical solutions, and thus possessing all the beneficial technical effects of the interlocking device, which will not be elaborated further here.

[0095] Furthermore, the cooking equipment also includes an equipment body and a door. The equipment body has a cooking cavity, and an interlocking device is located on the equipment body at the opening end of the cooking cavity. The door is connected to the equipment body in an openable and closable manner, and the door includes a door hook.

[0096] The cooking device provided in this embodiment of the invention includes a device body, an interlocking device, and a door. Specifically, the device body is provided with a cooking cavity, the door is provided on the device body and the door can open or close the cooking cavity, and the interlocking device is provided on the device body and the interlocking device is located at the opening end of the cooking cavity. It can be understood that after the user opens the door, the food inside the cooking cavity can be taken out or put in through the opening end of the cooking cavity.

[0097] The door includes a door hook, which is fixed relative to the door. In other words, the door hook is a fixed hook, and the opening and closing of the door is achieved through the cooperation of the fixed hook and a rotating component. It is worth noting that the door has an upper door hook and a lower door hook. Both the upper and lower door hooks can be fixed, or the lower door hook can be fixed while the upper door hook is movable; the specific configuration can be determined according to actual needs.

[0098] Microwave ovens in this technology allow users to open or close the cooking cavity by pulling or pressing the door to access food inside. However, because they lack child locks and the opening force is less than 25N, children can easily accidentally press the door button or pull the handle, opening the door with a light press or pull, resulting in burns from heated food or utensils inside the cooking cavity.

[0099] The limit stop can move between a first position and a second position. When the trigger component is activated, it can push the limit stop from the first position to the second position. Specifically, when the limit stop is in the first position, it restricts the movement of the rotating component. Because the limit stop restricts the movement of the rotating component, and the rotating component cooperates with the door hook, the door hook cannot move to the open position, even if it is locked in the closed position. In other words, when the limit stop is in the first position, the door cannot be opened even if the door handle is pulled.

[0100] When the door needs to be opened, the trigger component is activated. When the trigger component is activated, it can push the limit block to the second position. When the limit block is in the second position, it can release the movement restriction on the rotating part. In other words, the rotating part is unlocked. At this time, pulling the door handle will cause the door hook to move and drive the rotating part to the open position, thus realizing the door opening operation.

[0101] By setting a limit stop that can move between a first position and a second position, when you want to open the door, you need to first trigger the trigger component to move the limit stop to the second position, thereby releasing the movement restriction on the rotating part, so that the door can be opened. This increases the steps to open the door, thus increasing the difficulty of opening the door. This reduces the risk of children accidentally touching the door opening button or handle, which could easily open the oven door with a light press or pull, resulting in burns from the heated food or utensils inside the cooking cavity. It effectively avoids accidental operation and thus effectively improves the safety of using cooking equipment.

[0102] In addition, the cooking equipment provided by the above-described technical solution of the present invention also has the following additional technical features:

[0103] In one possible technical solution, the cooking device also includes a control panel, which is located on the device body. The control panel has a second clearance opening, and the trigger part of the interlocking device is exposed to the control panel through the second clearance opening.

[0104] In this technical solution, the cooking equipment is further defined as including a control panel. Specifically, the control panel is mounted on the equipment body and has a second clearance opening. The triggering part is exposed on the control panel through the second clearance opening, allowing the user to use the triggering part to drive the limit position, thereby releasing the movement restriction on the rotating parts. This reduces the difficulty of user operation and improves the user experience.

[0105] Furthermore, by setting a second clearance opening on the control panel, the triggering part can be operated. That is, only one clearance opening needs to be made on the control panel, which requires minimal modification to the cooking equipment and helps to reduce the production cost of the cooking equipment.

Detailed Implementation

[0188] 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.

[0189] 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.

[0190] The following reference Figures 1 to 78 To describe the interlocking device 100 and cooking apparatus 400 provided according to some embodiments of the present invention.

[0191] Example 1:

[0192] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 , Figure 7 , Figure 8 , Figure 9 , Figure 10 , Figure 11 , Figure 12 , Figure 13 , Figure 14 , Figure 15 , Figure 16 , Figure 17 , Figure 18 , Figure 19 , Figure 66 , Figure 67 , Figure 68 , Figure 69 , Figure 70 , Figure 71 , Figure 72 , Figure 73 , Figure 74 , Figure 75 , Figure 76 and Figure 77As shown, an embodiment of the first aspect of the present invention provides an interlocking device 100 for cooperating with a door body 410, the door body 410 including a door hook 411, the interlocking device 100 including: a rotating member 110, the rotating member 110 being movable to cooperate with the door hook 411 so that the door hook 411 moves between an open position and a closed position; a limiting block 120, movable between a first position and a second position; and a triggering component 130, which, when triggered, can push the limiting block 120 from the first position to the second position; wherein, based on the limiting block 120 being in the first position, the limiting block 120 restricts the movement of the rotating member 110 so that the door hook 411 is locked in the closed position; based on the limiting block 120 being in the second position, the limiting block 120 releases the movement restriction on the rotating member 110, and the door hook 411 can move to the open position.

[0193] The interlocking device 100 provided in this embodiment of the invention includes a rotating member 110, a limiting block 120, and a triggering component 130. Specifically, the rotating member 110 can move in conjunction with a door hook 411, thereby allowing the door hook 411 to move between an open position and a closed position. It is understood that the rotating member 110 can move in opposite first and second directions. When the door 410 is closed, the user pushes the door 410, causing the door hook 411 to move. Because the door hook 411 engages with the rotating member 110, during the closing process, the door hook 411 can push the rotating member 110 to move in the first direction, and the rotating member 110 can pull the door hook 411 to the closed position during its movement, i.e., the door 410 is in the closed position.

[0194] When the door 410 is opened, the user pulls the handle of the door 410, and the door 410 drives the door hook 411 to move. Since the door hook 411 cooperates with the rotating part 110, during the opening process, the door hook 411 drives the rotating part 110 to move in the second direction, and the rotating part 110 can push the door hook 411 to the open position during the movement, that is, the door 410 is in the open position.

[0195] In practical applications, the door hook 411 is fixed relative to the door body 410. That is, the door hook 411 is a fixed door hook, and the opening and closing operation of the door body 410 is achieved through the cooperation of the fixed door hook 411 and the rotating component 110. It is worth noting that the door body 410 is equipped with an upper door hook 411 and a lower door hook 411. Both the upper and lower door hooks 411 can be fixed, or the lower door hook 411 can be fixed while the upper door hook 411 is movable; the specific configuration can be determined according to actual needs.

[0196] Microwave ovens in this technology allow users to open or close the cooking cavity by pulling or pressing the door to access food inside. However, because they lack child locks and the opening force is less than 25N, children can easily accidentally press the door button or pull the handle, opening the door with a light press or pull, resulting in burns from heated food or utensils inside the cooking cavity.

[0197] The limit stop 120 can move between a first position and a second position. When the trigger component 130 is triggered, the trigger component 130 can push the limit stop 120 from the first position to the second position. Specifically, when the limit stop 120 is in the first position, the limit stop 120 can restrict the movement of the rotating member 110. Since the limit stop 120 restricts the movement of the rotating member 110, and the rotating member 110 cooperates with the door hook 411, the door hook 411 cannot move to the open position, even if the door hook 411 is locked in the closed position. That is to say, when the limit stop 120 is in the first position, even if the handle of the door body 410 is pulled, the door body 410 cannot be opened.

[0198] When the door 410 needs to be opened, the trigger component 130 is triggered. When the trigger component 130 is triggered, it can push the limit block 120 to the second position. When the limit block 120 is in the second position, it can release the movement restriction on the rotating member 110. That is, the rotating member 110 is unlocked. At this time, when the handle of the door 410 is pulled, the door hook 411 can drive the rotating member 110 to move, thereby moving the door hook 411 to the open position, realizing the opening operation of the door 410.

[0199] By setting the limit stop 120 to move between the first position and the second position, when you want to open the door 410, you need to first trigger the trigger component 130 so that the limit stop 120 moves to the second position, thereby releasing the movement restriction on the rotating part 110, so that the door can be opened. This increases the steps to open the door 410, thereby increasing the difficulty of opening the door 410. This reduces the risk of children being burned by the heated food or utensils in the cooking cavity due to accidentally touching the door opening button or handle and opening the oven door with a light press or pull. It effectively avoids misoperation and thus effectively improves the safety of using the cooking equipment 400.

[0200] It is understandable that a portion of the trigger component 130 can be exposed outside the door 410, thereby facilitating the user to unlock the door 410 by operating the trigger component 130 and rotating the component 110.

[0201] The door 410 is equipped with a handle, which allows users to open the door by pulling the handle, thus improving user convenience.

[0202] Example 2:

[0203] like Figure 20 , Figure 21 , Figure 22 , Figure 23 , Figure 24 , Figure 25 , Figure 26 , Figure 27 , Figure 28 and Figure 29 As shown, based on the above embodiment, the triggering component 130 further includes a bracket 131 and a trigger member 132, wherein the trigger member 132 is slidably connected to the bracket 131, and when the trigger member 132 is triggered, it can push the limit block 120 to move from the first position to the second position.

[0204] In this embodiment, the triggering component 130 is defined to include a bracket 131 and a trigger 132. Specifically, the trigger 132 is connected to the bracket 131 and the trigger 132 can slide relative to the bracket 131, so that when the trigger 132 is triggered, the trigger 132 can push the limiting block 120 from the first position to the second position.

[0205] In detail, when the limit block 120 is in the first position, the limit block 120 can restrict the movement of the rotating member 110. Since the limit block 120 restricts the movement of the rotating member 110, and the rotating member 110 cooperates with the door hook 411, the door hook 411 cannot move to the open position. Even if the door hook 411 is locked in the closed position, that is, when the limit block 120 is in the first position, even if the handle of the door body 410 is pulled, the door body 410 cannot be opened.

[0206] When the door 410 needs to be opened, the trigger 132 is activated. When the trigger 132 is activated, it slides relative to the bracket 131, thereby pushing the limit block 120 to the second position. When the limit block 120 is in the second position, it can release the movement restriction on the rotating member 110. In other words, the rotating member 110 is unlocked. At this time, when the handle of the door 410 is pulled, the door hook 411 can drive the rotating member 110 to move, thereby moving the door hook 411 to the open position, realizing the opening operation of the door 410.

[0207] By setting the limit stop 120 to move between the first position and the second position, when you want to open the door 410, you need to first trigger the trigger 132 to slide relative to the bracket 131, and push the limit stop 120 to the second position during the sliding process, thereby releasing the movement restriction on the rotating part 110, so that the door can be opened. This increases the steps to open the door 410, thereby increasing the difficulty of opening the door 410, reducing the risk of children being burned by the heated food or utensils in the cooking cavity due to accidentally touching the door opening button or handle and opening the oven door with a light press or pull. This effectively avoids misoperation and thus effectively improves the safety of using the cooking equipment 400.

[0208] like Figure 20 , Figure 21 , Figure 22 , Figure 23 and Figure 24 As shown, based on the above embodiment, the trigger component 130 further includes a first elastic element 133. The first end of the first elastic element 133 is connected to the bracket 131, and the second end of the first elastic element 133 is connected to the trigger element 132. The first elastic element 133 is used to reset the trigger element 132 after it is triggered.

[0209] In this embodiment, the trigger assembly 130 further includes a first elastic element 133. Specifically, one end of the first elastic element 133 is connected to the bracket 131, and the other end is connected to the trigger element 132. The first elastic element 133 enables the trigger element 132 to reset after being triggered. That is, when the trigger element 132 is triggered, the limit block 120 moves to the second position, thereby unlocking the rotating member 110 and opening the door 410. After releasing the trigger element 132, the first elastic element 133 can drive the trigger element 132 to slide back and reset, so that when the door 410 needs to be opened again after being closed, the rotating member 110 can be unlocked by triggering the trigger element 132.

[0210] In detail, when the limit block 120 is in the first position, the limit block 120 can restrict the movement of the rotating member 110. Since the limit block 120 restricts the movement of the rotating member 110, and the rotating member 110 cooperates with the door hook 411, the door hook 411 cannot move to the open position. Even if the door hook 411 is locked in the closed position, that is, when the limit block 120 is in the first position, even if the handle of the door body 410 is pulled, the door body 410 cannot be opened.

[0211] When the door 410 needs to be opened, the trigger 132 is activated. When activated, the trigger 132 slides relative to the bracket 131, causing it to push the limit block 120 to the second position. When the limit block 120 is in the second position, it releases the restriction on the movement of the rotating member 110. At this time, the first elastic member 133 deforms, specifically, it extends. That is, the rotating member 110 is unlocked. When the handle of the door 410 is pulled, the door hook 411 moves the rotating member 110, thus moving the door hook 411 to the open position, realizing the opening operation of the door 410. After the door 410 is opened, the trigger 132 is released, and the first elastic member 133 causes the trigger 132 to move in the opposite direction and reset.

[0212] By setting the limit stop 120 to move between the first position and the second position, when you want to open the door 410, you need to first trigger the trigger 132 to slide relative to the bracket 131, and push the limit stop 120 to the second position during the sliding process, thereby releasing the movement restriction on the rotating part 110, so that the door can be opened. This increases the steps to open the door 410, thereby increasing the difficulty of opening the door 410, reducing the risk of children being burned by the heated food or utensils in the cooking cavity due to accidentally touching the door opening button or handle and opening the oven door with a light press or pull. This effectively avoids misoperation and thus effectively improves the safety of using the cooking equipment 400.

[0213] By setting the first elastic element 133, the trigger element 132 can be automatically reset after being triggered, which improves the convenience for users to use the cooking equipment 400 with the interlocking device 100, thereby enhancing the user experience.

[0214] In practical applications, the first elastic element 133 is a tension spring.

[0215] like Figure 20 , Figure 21 , Figure 22 , Figure 23 , Figure 24 , Figure 30 , Figure 31 , Figure 32 and Figure 33 As shown, based on the above embodiment, the trigger 132 further includes a trigger part 1321, a support part 1322 and a drive part 1323, wherein the support part 1322 is connected to the trigger part 1321, the drive part 1323 is connected to the support part 1322, and the drive part 1323 is used to push the limit block 120 to move from the first position to the second position.

[0216] In this embodiment, the trigger 132 is defined as including a trigger part 1321, a support part 1322, and a drive part 1323. Specifically, the support part 1322 is connected to the trigger part 1321, and the drive part 1323 is connected to the support part 1322. When the trigger part 1321 is triggered, the trigger part 1321 can drive the support part 1322 to slide relative to the bracket 131. At the same time, the support part 1322 can drive the drive part 1323 to slide relative to the bracket 131. During the sliding process, the drive part 1323 pushes the limit block 120 to move to the second position to release the movement restriction on the rotating part 110.

[0217] In detail, when the limit block 120 is in the first position, the limit block 120 can restrict the movement of the rotating member 110. Since the limit block 120 restricts the movement of the rotating member 110, and the rotating member 110 cooperates with the door hook 411, the door hook 411 cannot move to the open position. Even if the door hook 411 is locked in the closed position, that is, when the limit block 120 is in the first position, even if the handle of the door body 410 is pulled, the door body 410 cannot be opened.

[0218] When the door 410 needs to be opened, the trigger 1321 is activated. When activated, the trigger 1321 causes the support 1322 to slide relative to the bracket 131. Simultaneously, the support 1322 causes the drive 1323 to slide relative to the bracket 131. During this sliding process, the drive 1323 pushes the limit stop 120 to the second position, thereby releasing the movement restriction on the rotating member 110. At this time, the first elastic member 133 deforms; specifically, it is stretched. Pulling the handle of the door 410 causes the door hook 411 to move, moving it to the open position and thus opening the door 410.

[0219] Specifically, the first elastic element 133 is connected to the support part 1322. When the door 410 is opened, the trigger part 1321 is released. The first elastic element 133 drives the support part 1322, and the support part 1322 drives the drive part 1323 and the trigger part 1321 to move in opposite directions and reset.

[0220] In practical applications, the drive unit 1323, the support unit 1322, and the trigger unit 1321 are integrated into one structure. It is understood that the integrated structure has good mechanical properties, which can improve the connection strength between the drive unit 1323, the support unit 1322, and the trigger unit 1321, and ensure effective power transmission.

[0221] In addition, the integrated structure facilitates the processing and production of the trigger 132, thereby reducing the production cost of the interlocking device 100 and the cooking equipment 400 having the interlocking device 100.

[0222] Example 3:

[0223] like Figure 20 , Figure 21 , Figure 22 , Figure 23 , Figure 24 , Figure 34 , Figure 35 and Figure 36 As shown, based on the above embodiment, the limiting block 120 further includes a block body 121 and a drive groove 122, wherein the drive groove 122 is provided on the block body 121, and a part of the drive part 1323 can extend into the drive groove 122 and can cooperate with the mating wall of the block body 121 located in the drive groove 122.

[0224] In this embodiment, the limiting block 120 includes a block body 121 and a drive groove 122. Specifically, the drive groove 122 is disposed on the block body 121, and a portion of the drive part 1323 can extend into the drive groove 122. The limiting block 120 also includes a mating wall disposed on the block body 121 and located within the drive groove 122.

[0225] When the door 410 needs to be opened, the trigger 1321 is activated. When activated, the trigger 1321 drives the support 1322 to slide relative to the bracket 131. Simultaneously, the support 1322 drives the drive 1323 to slide relative to the bracket 131. During this sliding process, the drive 1323 engages with the mating wall in the drive groove 122 to push the stop block body 121 to move, thereby moving the stop block body 121 to the second position and releasing the restriction on the movement of the rotating member 110. At this time, the first elastic member 133 deforms; specifically, it is stretched. Pulling the handle of the door 410 causes the door hook 411 to move, moving the rotating member 110 to the open position, thus opening the door 410. The addition of steps to open the door 410 increases the difficulty of opening the door, reducing the risk of children being burned by heated food or utensils inside the cooking cavity due to accidental pressing or pulling of the door opening button or handle. This effectively avoids misoperation and thus improves the safety of using the cooking equipment 400.

[0226] By extending a portion of the drive unit 1323 into the drive groove 122 and engaging with the mating wall to move the stop body 121 from the first position to the second position, effective engagement between the drive unit 1323 and the limit stop 120 can be ensured, thereby ensuring effective power transmission.

[0227] like Figure 34 , Figure 35 and Figure 36 As shown, based on the above embodiment, the limiting block 120 further includes a first opening 123. The first opening 123 is disposed on the block body 121 and communicates with the drive groove 122. The first opening 123 is disposed opposite to the mating wall.

[0228] In this embodiment, the limiting block 120 further includes a first opening 123. Specifically, the first opening 123 is disposed on the block body 121. The first opening 123 is connected to the drive groove 122 and is disposed opposite to the mating wall. That is, the mating wall is located on one side of the drive groove 122, and the first opening 123 is located on the side of the drive groove 122 opposite to the mating wall.

[0229] In detail, when the door 410 is closed, the door hook 411 drives the rotating member 110 to move. During the movement, a portion of the rotating member 110 can push the stop body 121 to move until a portion of the rotating member 110 separates from the stop body 121. The rotating member 110 then moves to the target position, realizing the door closing operation. When a portion of the rotating member 110 separates from the stop body 121, the stop body 121 automatically returns to the first position due to gravity, thereby limiting the movement of the rotating member 110. By providing the first opening 123, interference between the stop body 121 and the drive unit 1323 can be avoided during the process of the rotating member 110 pushing the stop body 121 to move when the door is closed, ensuring the effective performance of the door closing operation.

[0230] Example 4:

[0231] like Figure 20 , Figure 21 , Figure 22 , Figure 23 and Figure 24 As shown, based on any of the above embodiments, the triggering component 130 further includes a first sliding portion 134 and a second sliding portion 135, wherein the first sliding portion 134 is disposed on one of the bracket 131 and the trigger member 132, and the second sliding portion 135 is disposed on the other of the bracket 131 and the trigger member 132. The second sliding portion 135 can cooperate with the first sliding portion 134 so that when the trigger member 132 is triggered, it can slide relative to the bracket 131.

[0232] In this embodiment, the trigger component 130 is further defined as including a first sliding portion 134 and a second sliding portion 135. Specifically, the first sliding portion 134 is provided on the bracket 131, and the second sliding portion 135 is provided on the corresponding trigger member 132. Alternatively, the second sliding portion 135 is provided on the bracket 131, and the first sliding portion 134 is provided on the corresponding trigger member 132. The specific configuration can be made according to actual needs.

[0233] The first sliding part 134 can cooperate with the second sliding part 135 so that when the trigger 132 is triggered, the trigger 132 can slide relative to the bracket 131, thereby pushing the limit block 120 to move to the second position to release the movement restriction on the rotating part 110.

[0234] In practical applications, one of the first sliding part 134 and the second sliding part 135 is a guide rail and the other is a slide groove. The guide rail can cooperate with the slide groove so that when the trigger part 1321 is triggered, the support part 1322 can drive the drive part 1323 to slide relative to the bracket 131.

[0235] like Figure 20 , Figure 21 , Figure 22 , Figure 23 , Figure 24 , Figure 25 , Figure 26 , Figure 27 , Figure 28 and Figure 29 As shown, based on the above embodiment, the bracket 131 further includes a first mounting part 1311 and a second mounting part 1312, wherein the second mounting part 1312 is connected to the first mounting part 1311, and a first sliding part 134 or a second sliding part 135 is disposed on the second mounting part 1312.

[0236] In this embodiment, the bracket 131 is defined to include a first mounting portion 1311 and a second mounting portion 1312. Specifically, the second mounting portion 1312 is connected to the first mounting portion 1311, and a first sliding portion 134 is disposed on the second mounting portion 1312, or a second sliding portion 135 is disposed on the second mounting portion 1312. The specific configuration can be made according to actual needs.

[0237] The first mounting part 1311 is used for the fixed installation of the bracket 131. That is, the bracket 131 is fixedly installed through the first mounting part 1311. Specifically, the first mounting part 1311 can be fixedly connected to the second mounting bracket 150 of the interlocking device 100 to realize the fixed installation of the bracket 131.

[0238] In detail, when the limit block 120 is in the first position, the limit block 120 can restrict the movement of the rotating member 110. Since the limit block 120 restricts the movement of the rotating member 110, and the rotating member 110 cooperates with the door hook 411, the door hook 411 cannot move to the open position. Even if the door hook 411 is locked in the closed position, that is, when the limit block 120 is in the first position, even if the handle of the door body 410 is pulled, the door body 410 cannot be opened.

[0239] When the door 410 needs to be opened, the trigger 132 is activated. When the trigger 132 is activated, it slides relative to the bracket 131, thereby pushing the limit block 120 to the second position. When the limit block 120 is in the second position, it can release the movement restriction on the rotating member 110. In other words, the rotating member 110 is unlocked. At this time, when the handle of the door 410 is pulled, the door hook 411 can drive the rotating member 110 to move, thereby moving the door hook 411 to the open position, realizing the opening operation of the door 410.

[0240] By setting the limit stop 120 to move between the first position and the second position, when you want to open the door 410, you need to first trigger the trigger 132 to slide relative to the bracket 131, and push the limit stop 120 to the second position during the sliding process, thereby releasing the movement restriction on the rotating part 110, so that the door can be opened. This increases the steps to open the door 410, thereby increasing the difficulty of opening the door 410, reducing the risk of children being burned by the heated food or utensils in the cooking cavity due to accidentally touching the door opening button or handle and opening the oven door with a light press or pull. This effectively avoids misoperation and thus effectively improves the safety of using the cooking equipment 400.

[0241] In practical applications, the first mounting part 1311 and the second mounting part 1312 are an integral structure. It is understood that the integral structure has good mechanical properties, which can improve the connection strength between the first mounting part 1311 and the second mounting part 1312 and ensure the effective cooperation between the trigger 132 and the bracket 131.

[0242] In addition, the integrated structure facilitates the processing and production of the support 131, thereby reducing the production cost of the interlocking device 100 and the cooking equipment 400 having the interlocking device 100.

[0243] Example 5:

[0244] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 , Figure 7 , Figure 8 , Figure 9 , Figure 10 , Figure 11 , Figure 12 , Figure 13 , Figure 14 , Figure 15 , Figure 16 , Figure 17 , Figure 18 , Figure 19 , Figure 42 , Figure 43 , Figure 44 , Figure 45 , Figure 46 , Figure 47 , Figure 48 , Figure 49 , Figure 50 , Figure 51 , Figure 52 , Figure 53 , Figure 54 , Figure 55 , Figure 56 , Figure 57 , Figure 58 , Figure 59 , Figure 60 , Figure 61 , Figure 62 , Figure 63 , Figure 64 and Figure 65 As shown, based on any of the above embodiments, the interlocking device 100 further includes a first mounting bracket 140 and a second mounting bracket 150, wherein the rotating member 110 is rotatably disposed on the first mounting bracket 140, the second mounting bracket 150 is connected to the first mounting bracket 140 and surrounds to form a mounting cavity, a portion of the rotating member 110 is located in the mounting cavity, and the limiting block 120 is rotatably disposed on the side of the second mounting bracket 150 away from the mounting cavity.

[0245] In this embodiment, the interlocking device 100 further includes a first mounting bracket 140 and a second mounting bracket 150. Specifically, the first mounting bracket 140 and the second mounting bracket 150 are connected, and the first mounting bracket 140 and the second mounting bracket 150 enclose a mounting cavity, that is, the side of the first mounting bracket 140 near the second mounting bracket 150 and the side of the second mounting bracket 150 near the first mounting bracket 140 form a mounting cavity. The rotating member 110 is located within the mounting cavity, that is, the mounting cavity provides a space for the rotating member 110. This protects the rotating member 110, preventing external forces from directly acting on it, thereby extending the service life of the rotating member 110. In addition, by placing a portion of the rotating member 110 within the mounting cavity, it is possible to reduce the entry of dirt and impurities into the rotating member 110, ensuring the cleanliness of the rotating member 110, and thus ensuring the reliability of the cooperation of the various components of the interlocking device 100.

[0246] The rotating component 110 is mounted on the first mounting bracket 140 and can rotate relative to the first mounting bracket 140. That is, during the opening and closing of the door, the door hook 411 cooperates with the rotating component 110, so that the rotating component 110 rotates relative to the first mounting bracket to complete the opening and closing operation.

[0247] The limiting block 120 is located on the side of the second mounting bracket 150 away from the mounting cavity, and the limiting block 120 can rotate relative to the second mounting bracket 150. When the trigger component 130 is triggered, the trigger component 130 can push the limiting block 120 to rotate from the first position to the second position, thereby releasing the movement restriction on the rotating member 110. Pulling the door body 410, the door can be opened through the cooperation of the door hook 411 and the rotating member 110.

[0248] Example 6:

[0249] like Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 11 and Figure 13 As shown, based on any of the above embodiments, the rotating member 110 is further provided with a limiting post 111; the interlocking device 100 also includes a first clearance opening 160, the first clearance opening 160 is provided on the second mounting bracket 150, the limiting post 111 extends out of the second mounting bracket 150 through the first clearance opening 160 and can move within the first clearance opening 160; wherein, based on the limiting block 120 being located in the first position, the limiting post 111 is located on the first side 161 of the first clearance opening 160, and the limiting block 120 prevents the limiting post 111 from moving from the first side 161 to the second side 162 of the first clearance opening 160; based on the limiting block 120 being located in the second position, the limiting post 111 can move from the first side 161 to the second side 162.

[0250] In this embodiment, the interlocking device 100 is further defined as including a first clearance opening 160. Specifically, the first clearance opening 160 is disposed on the second mounting bracket 150, and the rotating member 110 is provided with a limit post 111. The limit post 111 extends out of the second mounting bracket 150 through the first clearance opening 160. That is to say, the first clearance opening 160 is in communication with the mounting cavity.

[0251] During the opening and closing of the door, the limiting post 111 can move within the first clearance opening 160. The second mounting bracket 150 includes a first side 161 and a second side 162 located in the first clearance opening 160 and disposed opposite to each other. It is understood that when the limiting post 111 is located on the first side, the door 410 is closed, and when the limiting post 111 moves from the first side 161 to the second side 162, the door 410 is opened.

[0252] In detail, when the door 410 is in the closed state, the limit block 120 is in the first position and the limit post 111 is in the first side 161. At this time, since the limit block 120 is in the first position, the limit post 111 cannot move from the first side 161 to the second side 162. That is, the limit block 120 blocks the movement path of the limit post 111, thus restricting the movement of the limit post 111, thereby restricting the movement of the rotating member 110, so that the door hook 411 is locked in the closed position.

[0253] When the trigger component 130 is triggered, the trigger component 130 pushes the limit block 120 from the first position to the second position. At this time, the limit block 120 avoids the movement path of the limit post 111, and the limit post 111 can move from the first side 161 to the second side 162, thereby realizing the door opening operation.

[0254] When the door 410 is closed, the door hook 411 pushes the rotating component 110 to rotate relative to the first mounting bracket 140. At the same time, it drives the limiting post 111 to move within the first clearance opening 160. During the movement of the limiting post 111, it pushes the limiting block 120 to rotate relative to the second mounting bracket 150 until the limiting block 120 separates from the limiting post 111. The limiting post 111 moves to the first side 161 of the first clearance opening 160. Due to gravity, the limiting block 120 automatically resets to the first position, realizing the door closing operation. Since the limiting block 120 is in the first position, it restricts the movement of the limiting post 111 from the first side 161 to the second side 162, thereby restricting the movement of the rotating component 110 and locking the door hook 411 in the closed position, realizing the function of a child lock.

[0255] This adds a step to opening the door 410, increasing the difficulty of opening the door 410. This reduces the risk of children accidentally touching the door opening button or handle, which could easily open the oven door with a light press or pull, resulting in burns from heated food or utensils inside the cooking cavity. This effectively avoids misoperation and thus effectively improves the safety of using the cooking equipment 400.

[0256] like Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 42 , Figure 44 and Figure 45 As shown, based on the above embodiment, the interlocking device 100 further includes a limiting groove 170, which is disposed on the second mounting bracket 150 and communicates with the first clearance opening 160. A portion of the limiting block 120 is located in the limiting groove 170. When the limiting post 111 is located on the second side 162, a portion of the limiting post 111 can extend into the limiting groove 170 through the first clearance opening 160 and push the limiting block 120 to move, so that the limiting post 111 can move from the second side 162 to the first side 161.

[0257] In this embodiment, the interlocking device 100 is further defined as including a limiting groove 170. Specifically, the limiting groove 170 is disposed on the second mounting bracket 150 and is connected to the first clearance opening 160. A portion of the limiting block 120 is located within the limiting groove 170. In detail, when the limiting post 111 is located on the second side 162, that is, when the door 410 is in the open state, a part of the limiting post 111 extends into the limiting groove 170 through the first clearance opening 160. During the closing process, the limiting post 111 pushes the limiting block 120 to rotate relative to the second mounting bracket 150 until the limiting block 120 separates from the limiting post 111. The limiting post 111 moves to the first side 161 of the first clearance opening 160. Due to gravity, the limiting block 120 automatically resets to the first position, realizing the closing operation. Since the limiting block 120 is in the first position, it restricts the movement of the limiting post 111 from the first side 161 to the second side 162, thereby restricting the movement of the rotating part 110, locking the door hook 411 in the closed position, and realizing the function of the child lock.

[0258] By setting the limit groove 170, the limit block 120 can be restricted to rotating in only one direction, ensuring the stable operation of the door opening and closing process, avoiding the problem of the limit block 120 being able to rotate in multiple directions and interfering with other components, and improving the reliability of the cooking equipment 400 with the interlock device 100 in the door opening and closing process.

[0259] like Figure 42 As shown, based on the above embodiment, the interlocking device 100 further includes a first limiting wall 180 and a second opening 190. The first limiting wall 180 is disposed on the second mounting bracket 150 and located in the limiting groove 170. When the limiting block 120 moves to the first position, the first limiting wall 180 can prevent the limiting block 120 from continuing to move. The second opening 190 communicates with the limiting groove 170 and is disposed opposite to the first limiting wall 180.

[0260] In this embodiment, the interlocking device 100 is further defined as including a first limiting wall 180 and a second opening 190. Specifically, the first limiting wall 180 is disposed on the second mounting bracket 150 and is located in the limiting groove 170. When the limiting block 120 moves to the first position, the first limiting wall 180 can prevent the limiting block 120 from continuing to move.

[0261] It is understandable that when the trigger component 130 is triggered, it pushes the limiting block 120 from the first position to the second position through the mating wall opposite to the first opening 123. At this time, the limiting post 111 can move from the first side 161 to the second side 162 to realize the opening process of the door 410. After the door 410 is opened, the trigger component 130 is released, the first elastic element 133 drives the trigger element 132 to reset, and the limiting block 120 moves from the second position to the first position due to gravity.

[0262] When the door is closed, the limiting post 111 pushes the limiting block 120 to move until the limiting post 111 separates from the limiting block 120. The limiting post 111 moves from the second side 162 to the first side 161, and the limiting block 120 moves to the first position due to gravity. When the limiting block 120 moves to the first position, the first limiting wall 180 can prevent the limiting block 120 from continuing to move. Thus, by setting the first limiting wall 180, the limiting block 120 can only move from the first position to the second position, or return from the second position to the first position. In other words, when the limiting block 120 moves to the first position, the first limiting wall 180 prevents the limiting block 120 from continuing to move, ensuring the stable operation of the door opening and closing process, avoiding the problem of the limiting block 120 continuing to rotate and interfering with other components, and improving the reliability of the cooking equipment 400 with this interlocking device 100 in the door opening and closing process.

[0263] The second opening 190 is connected to the limiting groove 170, and the second opening 190 is opposite to the first limiting wall 180, thereby ensuring that the limiting block 120 can move from the first position to the second position to unlock the rotating part 110.

[0264] Example 7:

[0265] like Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, based on any of the above embodiments, the interlocking device 100 further includes a second limiting wall 200, which is disposed on the second mounting bracket 150. When the limiting block 120 moves to the second position, it contacts the second limiting wall 200.

[0266] In this embodiment, the interlocking device 100 further includes a second limiting wall 200. Specifically, the second limiting wall 200 is disposed on the second mounting bracket 150. When the limiting block 120 moves to the second position, the limiting block 120 contacts the second limiting wall 200, thereby limiting the limiting block 120 by the second limiting wall 200 and preventing the limiting block 120 from continuing to rotate. Even if the limiting block 120 can only rotate within a certain range, the problem of excessive rotation of the limiting block 120 and interference with other components is further avoided, thus improving the reliability of the cooking equipment 400 with the interlocking device 100 during the opening and closing process.

[0267] like Figure 20 , Figure 21 , Figure 22 , Figure 23 , Figure 24 , Figure 25 , Figure 26 , Figure 27 , Figure 28 and Figure 29 As shown, based on the above embodiment, the second mounting bracket 150 is further provided with a positioning post 151, a positioning groove 152 and a first mounting hole 153; the interlocking device 100 also includes a positioning hole 210, a second mounting hole 220 and fasteners, wherein the positioning hole 210 is provided on the bracket 131, the second mounting hole 220 is provided on the bracket 131, a part of the bracket 131 is embedded in the positioning groove 152, the positioning post 151 passes through the positioning hole 210, and the fasteners pass through the first mounting hole 153 and the second mounting hole 220 respectively, so that the bracket 131 is connected to the second mounting bracket 150.

[0268] In this embodiment, the interlocking device 100 further includes a positioning hole 210, a second mounting hole 220, and fasteners. Specifically, the second mounting bracket 150 is provided with a positioning post 151, the positioning hole 210 is provided on the bracket 131, and the positioning post 151 can pass through the positioning hole 210. The second mounting bracket 150 is also provided with a positioning groove 152, and a part of the bracket 131 can be embedded in the positioning groove 152, thereby further improving the installation stability and reliability of the bracket 131.

[0269] The second mounting bracket 150 is also provided with a first mounting hole 153, and the bracket 131 is provided with a second mounting hole 220. Fasteners pass through the first mounting hole 153 and the second mounting hole 220 respectively, thereby completing the fixed connection between the bracket 131 and the second mounting bracket 150.

[0270] In practical applications, the first mounting hole 153 and the second mounting hole 220 are threaded holes, and the fasteners are screws. The specific settings can be configured according to actual needs.

[0271] Example 8:

[0272] like Figure 37 , Figure 38 , Figure 39 , Figure 40 and Figure 41 As shown, based on any of the above embodiments, the rotating member 110 further includes a rotating body 112, a first rotating arm 113 and a second rotating arm 114, wherein the first rotating arm 113 is connected to the rotating body 112, the second rotating arm 114 is connected to the rotating body 112 and forms a rotating groove 116 at a distance from the first rotating arm 113, and a portion of the door hook 411 can be located in the rotating groove 116 so that the rotating member 110 can cooperate with the door hook 411.

[0273] In this embodiment, the rotating member 110 is defined as including a rotating body 112, a first rotating arm 113 and a second rotating arm 114. Specifically, the first rotating arm 113 and the second rotating arm 114 are connected to the rotating body 112 and are spaced apart. The first rotating arm 113 and the second rotating arm 114 form a rotating groove 116. A portion of the door hook 411 can be located in the rotating groove 116 so that the rotating member 110 can cooperate with the door hook 411.

[0274] In detail, when closing the door 410, the user pushes the door 410, causing the door hook 411 to move. After the door hook 411 moves to a certain position, it contacts the first rotating arm 113 and pushes the first rotating arm 113 to rotate relative to the first mounting bracket 140. At the same time, the first rotating arm 113 drives the rotating body 112 and the second rotating arm 114 to rotate. During the process of pushing the first rotating arm 113, a part of the door hook 411 slides into the rotating groove 116, so that the rotating component 110 can pull the door hook 411 to the closed position during rotation, that is, the door 410 is in the closed position.

[0275] When the door 410 is opened, the user pulls the handle of the door 410, and the door 410 drives the door hook 411 to move. Since part of the door hook 411 is located in the rotating groove 116, during the opening process, the door hook 411 drives the rotating component 110 to rotate, and the rotating component 110 can push the door hook 411 until part of the door hook 411 moves out of the rotating groove 116, that is, the door 410 is in the open position.

[0276] By setting the rotating groove 116, the effective cooperation between the door hook 411 and the rotating part 110 is ensured.

[0277] The limiting post 111 is disposed on the rotating body 112, so that when the rotating body 112 rotates relative to the first mounting bracket 140, it can drive the limiting post 111 to move within the first clearance opening 160.

[0278] like Figure 15 , Figure 17 , Figure 18 , Figure 41 , Figure 42 , Figure 43 and Figure 48 As shown, based on the above embodiment, the interlocking device 100 further includes a buffer 230, which is connected to the rotating member 110 and is used to reduce the rotation speed of the rotating member 110 when it rotates away from the door hook 411.

[0279] In this embodiment, the interlocking device 100 further includes a buffer 230. Specifically, the buffer 230 is connected to the rotating member 110, and the buffer 230 can slow down the rotational speed of the rotating member 110 when it rotates away from the door hook 411. It is understood that when the door 410 is opened, the door hook 411 pulls the rotating member 110 towards the door hook 411; when the door 410 is closed, the door hook 411 pushes the rotating member 110 away from the door hook 411. In other words, the buffer 230 can slow down the rotational speed of the rotating member 110 when the door is closed, thereby slowing down the closing speed of the door 410, reducing noise generated during closing, and improving the user experience.

[0280] In practical applications, the buffer 230 includes a damper.

[0281] The buffer 230 is disposed on the first mounting bracket 140 and is located in the mounting cavity, thereby providing the mounting cavity with a space to accommodate the buffer 230, thus protecting the buffer 230 and preventing external forces from acting directly on the buffer 230, thereby extending the service life of the buffer 230.

[0282] In addition, by placing the buffer 230 inside the mounting cavity, dirt and impurities can be reduced from entering the buffer 230, ensuring the cleanliness of the buffer 230 and thus ensuring the reliability of the cooperation of each component of the interlocking device 100.

[0283] like Figure 17 , Figure 41 and Figure 43 As shown, based on the above embodiment, the rotating member 110 is further provided with a transition groove 240 and a transition part 250. The transition part 250 is located in the transition groove 240, and the buffer member 230 is connected to the rotating member 110 through the transition part 250.

[0284] In this embodiment, the rotating member 110 is provided with a transition groove 240 and a transition part 250. Specifically, the transition part 250 is disposed in the transition groove 240, and the buffer member 230 is connected to the rotating member 110 through the transition part 250. That is to say, the transition groove 240 has the function of accommodating the transition part 250 and connecting the transition part 250, in order to ensure the fitting dimensions of the transition part 250 and the buffer member 230.

[0285] Specifically, the adapter 250 and the adapter slot 240 are detachably connected. This design reduces the processing difficulty of the product, facilitates mass production of the adapter 250, and helps reduce the production cost of the product. Since the adapter 250 and the adapter slot 240 are detachably connected, when the adapter 250 is severely worn, the normal use of the product can be ensured by replacing the adapter 250, which helps reduce the cost of subsequent repair and maintenance.

[0286] In practical applications, the buffer 230 is rolled to the adapter 250, meaning that the buffer 230 can rotate relative to the adapter 250. The operation of the buffer 230 is not limited by the rotation angle of the rotating member 110, so that when the rotating member 110 rotates away from the door hook 411, the buffer 230 can effectively slow down the rotation speed of the closing door 410.

[0287] like Figure 10 , Figure 12 , Figure 16 , Figure 42 , Figure 43 , Figure 46 , Figure 47 , Figure 49 , Figure 70 and Figure 77 As shown, based on the above embodiment, the interlocking device 100 further includes a second elastic member 260, which is connected to the first mounting bracket 140 and the rotating member 110.

[0288] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 6 , Figure 7 , Figure 14 , Figure 37 and Figure 40 As shown, based on the above embodiment, the interlocking device 100 further includes a first protrusion 115 and a first switch 270. The first protrusion 115 is disposed on the rotating body 112, and a third clearance opening is provided on the second mounting bracket 150. The first protrusion 115 extends out of the outer surface of the second mounting bracket 150 through the third clearance opening. The first protrusion 115 is used to trigger the first switch 270 when the door 410 is closed.

[0289] In this embodiment, the second mounting bracket 150 is also provided with a third clearance opening, and the interlocking device 100 further includes a first protrusion 115 and a first switch 270. The first protrusion 115 is correspondingly disposed with the third clearance opening, and the first protrusion 115 extends out of the outer surface of the second mounting bracket 150 through the third clearance opening. That is to say, the third clearance opening has the function of avoiding the first protrusion 115. The first protrusion 115 can trigger the first switch 270 to work when the door 410 is closed. The first switch 270 is connected to the control panel 430 of the cooking device 400.

[0290] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 6 , Figure 7 , Figure 42 , Figure 43 and Figure 48 As shown, based on the above embodiment, the interlocking device 100 further includes a push rod 280 and a second switch 290. The push rod 280 is rotatably connected to the first mounting bracket 140. When the door 410 is closed, the door hook 411 can drive the push rod 280 to move so that a part of the push rod 280 triggers the second switch 290.

[0291] In this embodiment, the interlocking device 100 further includes a push rod 280 and a second switch 290. Specifically, when the door 410 is closed, the door 410 moves toward the cooking cavity of the cooking appliance 400, and the door hook 411 can drive the push rod 280 to move relative to the first mounting bracket 140. The push rod 280 moves to trigger the second switch 290. The second switch 290 is connected to the control panel 430 of the cooking appliance 400.

[0292] like Figure 15 , Figure 42 , Figure 72 and Figure 73 As shown, based on the above embodiment, the number of door hooks 411 is further increased to a plurality of them. The plurality of door hooks 411 include at least a first door hook and a second door hook. The rotating member 110 cooperates with the first door hook. The interlocking device 100 also includes a first limiting member 310. The first limiting member 310 is disposed on the first mounting bracket 140. The first limiting member 310 is used to limit and cooperate with the second door hook when the door body 410 is closed.

[0293] In this embodiment, there are multiple door hooks 411, and the types of multiple door hooks 411 are divided. The multiple door hooks 411 include at least a first door hook and a second door hook. The first door hook cooperates with the rotating member 110, and the second door hook cooperates with the first limiting member 310.

[0294] Specifically, the first limiting member 310 is used to cooperate with the second door hook when the door 410 is closed. The first limiting member 310 has the function of fixing and limiting the second door hook to ensure that the door 410 is effectively closed.

[0295] Since there are multiple door hooks 411, closing the door 410 increases the contact area and contact angle between the door 410 and the cooking equipment body 420, ensuring the stability and reliability of opening and closing the door 410.

[0296] In practical applications, the first door hook is fixed relative to the door body 410, that is, the first door hook is a fixed door hook 411, and the second door hook is also a fixed door hook 411. The specific settings can be configured according to actual needs.

[0297] like Figure 15 , Figure 42 , Figure 72 and Figure 73 As shown, based on the above embodiment, the first limiting member 310 further includes a limiting part 311, which is movably connected to the first mounting bracket 140. The limiting part 311 is provided with an inclined surface and a limiting surface, which are correspondingly provided. The inclined surface is used to allow the second door hook to transition to the limiting surface.

[0298] In this embodiment, the first limiting member 310 includes a limiting part 311, and the structure of the limiting part 311 is defined. The limiting part 311 is provided with an inclined surface and a limiting surface. The inclined surface and the limiting surface are respectively provided. The inclined surface has a guiding function, so that when the door 410 is closed, the second door hook can slide down to the limiting surface under the guiding function of the inclined surface, so as to achieve the purpose of limiting cooperation between the first limiting member 310 and the second door hook.

[0299] Furthermore, the limiting part 311 is movably connected to the first mounting bracket 140, that is, the limiting part 311 can move relative to the first mounting bracket 140. In this way, when the door 410 is opened or closed, the second door hook can meet the usage requirements of cooperating or disengaging with the limiting part 311.

[0300] like Figure 15 , Figure 42 , Figure 72 and Figure 73 As shown, based on the above embodiment, the limiting part 311 is further provided with a mounting groove; the first limiting member 310 also includes an elastic part 312, which is located in the mounting groove and connects the limiting part 311 and the first mounting bracket 140.

[0301] In this embodiment, the first limiting member 310 further includes an elastic part 312, and the limiting part 311 is also provided with a mounting groove. The mounting groove has the function of accommodating the elastic part 312. Since the elastic part 312 is connected to the limiting part 311 and the first mounting bracket 140, the elastic part 312 can buffer the force when the limiting part 311 moves, so that the limiting part 311 and the first mounting bracket 140 are more smoothly connected.

[0302] Furthermore, by providing the elastic part 312, the limiting part 311 can be reset after moving, thereby ensuring effective limiting cooperation between the second door hook and the limiting part 311.

[0303] The elastic part 312 includes springs and tension springs, etc. The specific configuration can be adjusted according to actual needs.

[0304] Example 9:

[0305] According to a second aspect of the present invention, a cooking apparatus 400 is provided, including an interlocking device 100 as provided in any of the above embodiments, and thus possessing all the beneficial technical effects of the interlocking device 100, which will not be described in detail here.

[0306] like Figure 78 As shown, the cooking device 400 further includes a device body 420 and a door 410. The device body 420 is provided with a cooking cavity, and the interlocking device 100 is provided in the device body 420 and located at the opening end of the cooking cavity. The door 410 is connected to the device body 420 in an openable and closable manner, and the door 410 includes a door hook 411.

[0307] The cooking device 400 provided in this embodiment of the invention includes a device body 420, an interlocking device 100, and a door 410. Specifically, the device body 420 is provided with a cooking cavity, the door 410 is provided on the device body 420 and the door 410 can open or close the cooking cavity, and the interlocking device 100 is provided on the device body 420 and is located at the opening end of the cooking cavity. It can be understood that after the user opens the door 410, the food inside the cooking cavity can be taken out or put in through the opening end of the cooking cavity.

[0308] The door body 410 includes a door hook 411, which is fixed relative to the door body 410. That is, the door hook 411 is a fixed door hook, and the opening and closing operation of the door body 410 is achieved through the cooperation of the fixed door hook 411 and the rotating component 110. It is worth noting that the door body 410 is provided with an upper door hook 411 and a lower door hook 411. Both the upper and lower door hooks 411 can be fixed, or the lower door hook 411 can be fixed while the upper door hook 411 is movable; the specific configuration can be determined according to actual needs.

[0309] Microwave ovens in this technology allow users to open or close the cooking cavity by pulling or pressing the door to access food inside. However, because they lack child locks and the opening force is less than 25N, children can easily accidentally press the door button or pull the handle, opening the door with a light press or pull, resulting in burns from heated food or utensils inside the cooking cavity.

[0310] The limit stop 120 can move between a first position and a second position. When the trigger component 130 is triggered, the trigger component 130 can push the limit stop 120 from the first position to the second position. Specifically, when the limit stop 120 is in the first position, the limit stop 120 can restrict the movement of the rotating member 110. Since the limit stop 120 restricts the movement of the rotating member 110, and the rotating member 110 cooperates with the door hook 411, the door hook 411 cannot move to the open position, even if the door hook 411 is locked in the closed position. That is to say, when the limit stop 120 is in the first position, even if the handle of the door body 410 is pulled, the door body 410 cannot be opened.

[0311] When the door 410 needs to be opened, the trigger component 130 is triggered. When the trigger component 130 is triggered, it can push the limit block 120 to the second position. When the limit block 120 is in the second position, it can release the movement restriction on the rotating member 110. That is, the rotating member 110 is unlocked. At this time, when the handle of the door 410 is pulled, the door hook 411 can drive the rotating member 110 to move, thereby moving the door hook 411 to the open position, realizing the opening operation of the door 410.

[0312] By setting the limit stop 120 to move between the first position and the second position, when you want to open the door 410, you need to first trigger the trigger component 130 so that the limit stop 120 moves to the second position, thereby releasing the movement restriction on the rotating part 110, so that the door can be opened. This increases the steps to open the door 410, thereby increasing the difficulty of opening the door 410. This reduces the risk of children being burned by the heated food or utensils in the cooking cavity due to accidentally touching the door opening button or handle and opening the oven door with a light press or pull. It effectively avoids misoperation and thus effectively improves the safety of using the cooking equipment 400.

[0313] like Figure 1 As shown, based on the above embodiment, the cooking device 400 further includes a control panel 430, which is disposed on the device body 420. The control panel 430 is provided with a second clearance opening, and the trigger part 1321 of the interlocking device 100 is exposed on the control panel 430 through the second clearance opening.

[0314] In this embodiment, the cooking device 400 also includes a control panel 430. Specifically, the control panel 430 is mounted on the device body 420 and has a second clearance opening. The trigger part 1321 is exposed through the second clearance opening on the control panel 430, allowing the user to use the trigger part 1321 to drive the drive part 1323 to move the limit position, thereby releasing the movement restriction on the rotating member 110. This reduces the difficulty of user operation and improves the user experience.

[0315] Furthermore, by setting a second clearance opening on the control panel 430, the trigger unit 1321 can be operated. That is, only one clearance opening needs to be made on the control panel 430, which requires minimal modification to the cooking equipment 400 and helps to reduce the production cost of the cooking equipment 400.
