[0070] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this application clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application. Unless otherwise specified, the following embodiments and features can be combined with each other.

[0071] Please refer to Figure 1 As shown in the figure, the embodiment of the present application provides a cooking equipment 100, which comprises an equipment body 110, and the equipment body 110 has a cooking cavity 111 for accommodating food to be cooked, i.e. the food can realize a cooking task in the cooking cavity 111.

[0072] The cooking equipment 100 includes but is not limited to a micro-steaming oven all-in-one machine, wherein the micro-steaming oven all-in-one machine combines a microwave oven, a steaming oven, an oven and other functions, and can realize multiple cooking tasks such as steaming, baking, frying and microwaving in one cooking cavity 111, so that the user can complete diversified cooking in one equipment.

[0073] However, when using these functions to cook, the taste of the food often remains in the cooking cavity 111, and this remaining taste can cause cross-contamination problems in subsequent cooking processes, affecting the taste of the newly cooked food and the overall cooking experience.

[0074] In order to remove the residual taste of the food in the cooking cavity 111, in some embodiments, a purifier is arranged in the cooking cavity 111, and the purifier comprises a purification unit 120 and an ionization unit 170, the purification unit 120 is electrically connected with the ionization unit 170, the purification unit 120 includes but is not limited to a negative ion generator or a negative ion carbon brush, i.e. when the purification unit 120 is electrically connected with the ionization unit 170, the purification unit 120 can generate, for example, negative ions, and the purification unit 120 can remove the odor in the cooking cavity 111 by releasing negative ions combined with odor ions, and the odor removal method is simple, so as to remove the residual taste of the food in the cooking cavity 111, improve the taste of the cooked food, and further improve the user's experience.

[0075] However, the purifier has the problem of not being resistant to high temperature, so arranging the purifier in the cooking cavity 111 has certain safety hazards, resulting in poor safety and reliability of the cooking equipment 100.

[0076] Based on the above problems, in the embodiment of the present application, please refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown in the figure, the equipment body 110 has a window 112 on the cavity wall of the cooking cavity, which communicates the inside and outside of the cooking cavity 111, the purification unit 120 is movably arranged on the equipment body 110, the ionization unit 170 is fixedly arranged outside the cooking cavity 111 and fixedly connected with the equipment body 110, the purification unit 120 is electrically connected with the ionization unit 170, the purification unit 120 can enter the inside of the cooking cavity 111 through the window 112, or move out to the outside of the cooking cavity 111 through the window 112.

[0077] When cooking food is needed, the purification unit 120 can move out to the outside of the cooking cavity 111 through the window 112 to avoid the problem of damage of the purification unit 120 caused by high temperature in the cooking cavity 111; when cooking is finished, the purification unit 120 can enter the inside of the cooking cavity 111 through the window 112, so that the purification unit 120 starts to work to remove the smell of food residues in the cooking cavity 111, thereby improving the taste of the next cooking food.

[0078] In some embodiments, the cooking device 100 further comprises a driving mechanism 140, a power output end of the driving mechanism 140 is drivingly connected with the purification unit 120, and the driving mechanism 140 drives the purification unit 120 to move close to or away from the window 112, so that the purification unit 120 moves into or moves out of the cooking cavity 111 through the window 112.

[0079] In this way, when cooking is finished, the driving mechanism 140 drives the purification unit 120 to move close to the window 112, so that the purification unit 120 can enter the cooking cavity 111 through the window 112 to remove the smell of food residues in the cooking cavity 111 by the purification unit 120; and when cooking food is needed, the driving mechanism 140 drives the purification unit 120 to move out of the cooking cavity 111 through the window 112, so as to solve the problem of low temperature resistance of the purification unit 120, thereby improving the taste of the cooked food and the cooking experience of the user.

[0080] It should be noted that the driving mechanism 140 is arranged outside the cooking cavity 111, so that the problem of low temperature resistance of the driving mechanism 140 can be avoided, and in addition, the volume of the cooking cavity 111 can be increased, thereby improving the user's experience.

[0081] Since the window 112 is arranged on the cavity wall of the cooking cavity 111, the airtightness of the cooking cavity 111 when working will be affected, therefore, in the embodiments of the present application, the cooking device 100 further comprises a shielding piece 130, the shielding piece 130 is movably arranged on the device body 110 and connected with the driving mechanism 140, and the driving mechanism 140 drives the shielding piece 130 to move to open or close the window 112, that is, when the cooking device 100 is not working, the shielding piece 130 can be driven to move to open the window 112 (as shown in Figure 5 ), and the driving mechanism 140 drives the purification unit 120 to enter the cooking cavity 111 through the window 112 to remove the smell of food residues in the cooking cavity 111; and when cooking is needed to be started, the purification unit 120 moves out to the outside of the cooking cavity 111, and the shielding piece 130 moves to the window 112 to close the window 112 (as shown in Figure 2 ), so that the cooking cavity 111 forms airtight cooking cavity 111, thereby improving the cooking effect.

[0082] For example, the shielding member 130 includes but is not limited to a shielding plate, as long as it can shield the closed window 112, which is not limited here.

[0083] In some embodiments, the driving mechanism 140 can drive the shielding member 130 to rotate relative to the device body 110, and the shielding member 130 is opened or closed by rotating around a fixed axis.

[0084] In other embodiments, the driving mechanism 140 drives the shielding member 130 to slide in the first direction to open or close the window 112; for example, the driving mechanism 140 can drive the shielding member 130 to slide in the first direction to open or close the window 112, which is simple to implement and low in cost.

[0085] For example, when the driving mechanism 140 drives the purification unit 120 to move from outside the cooking cavity 111 to inside the cooking cavity 111, the driving mechanism 140 drives the shielding member 130 to move in the first direction to open the window 112, for example, when the purification unit 120 moves to the position of the window 112, the window 112 is opened, and the purification unit 120 enters the cooking cavity 111 through the window 112; when the driving mechanism 140 drives the purification unit 120 to move from inside the cooking cavity 111 to outside the cooking cavity 111, the driving mechanism 140 drives the shielding member 130 to move in the first direction to close the window 112, for example, when the purification unit 120 moves out of the cooking cavity 111 through the window 112, the shielding member 130 closes the window, so that the movement of the purification unit 120 and the movement of the shielding member 130 are linked to improve the efficiency of the purification unit 120 switching between inside and outside the cooking cavity 111, and improve the compactness of the structure.

[0086] In order to further improve the smoothness and accuracy of the movement of the shielding member 130, in the embodiments of the present application, the device body 110 has a first sliding part 1443 extending in the first direction, and the shielding member 130 has a second sliding part, the first sliding part 1443 is configured to be in sliding connection with the second sliding part, so that when the driving mechanism 140 drives the shielding member 130 to move, the shielding member 130 slides along the first sliding part 1443 through the second sliding part to realize the guidance of the movement of the shielding member 130.

[0087] For example, the first sliding part 1443 is one of a sliding rail and a sliding groove, and the second sliding part is the other one of the sliding rail or the sliding groove, so that the smoothness of the sliding of the shielding member 130 and the accuracy of the movement path are improved, and the structure is simple, easy to implement and low in cost.

[0088] Please refer to Figure 6As shown, the cooking device 100 further comprises a guide 1442 detachably arranged on the device body 110. For example, the guide 1442 can be arranged on the device body 110 by magnetic attraction, threaded connection or clamping, etc. The guide 1442 has two oppositely arranged sliding grooves in the second direction, and the sliding grooves extend along the first direction. At least part of the profile of the two sides of the shielding piece 130 is respectively located in the corresponding sliding groove, so that the shielding piece 130 slides along the sliding groove under the action of the driving force, facilitating the processing and manufacturing of the first sliding part 1443 and replacement, etc.

[0089] In some embodiments, the cooking device 100 further comprises a base 1445 fixedly arranged on the device body 110, and the guide 1442 is detachably arranged on the base 1445 or arranged on the base 1445 by adhesion, welding, etc.

[0090] In order to further improve the smoothness of the movement of the shielding piece 130, in the embodiments of the present application, a rolling piece 1446 is arranged between the shielding piece 130 and the top wall and the bottom wall of the sliding groove, respectively, and the rolling piece 1446 is in rolling contact with the shielding piece 130 and the groove wall of the sliding groove, respectively. The rolling piece 1446 supports the shielding piece 130 and makes the shielding piece 130 in rolling contact with the rolling piece 1446 when moving, which improves the smoothness of the movement of the shielding piece 130 and avoids the problem of jamming.

[0091] For example, the rolling piece 1446 includes but is not limited to a ball bearing, etc., as long as it is in rolling contact with the shielding piece 130 to reduce friction, which is not limited here.

[0092] In addition, the driving mechanism 140 comprises a driving motor 141 and a movable piece 142 connected between the purification unit 120 and the power output end of the driving motor 141. The driving motor 141 is configured to provide power to the movable piece 142 to drive the movable piece 142 to move, so that the movable piece 142 drives the purification unit 120 to approach or move away from the window 112, so that the purification unit 120 moves to the inside or outside of the cooking cavity 111 through the window 112.

[0093] Please refer to Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the movable piece 142 can be a rotating piece connected with the output shaft of the driving motor 141, so that the driving motor 141 drives the rotating piece to rotate to drive the purification unit 120 to approach or move away from the window 112. In this way, the driving motor 141 can realize forward rotation or reverse rotation of the rotating piece by forward and reverse rotation, thereby driving the purification unit 120 to move in the direction of approaching or moving away from the window 112. The structure is simple, easy to realize and low in cost.

[0094] For example, in the embodiments of the present application, the driving mechanism 140 further comprises a transmission mechanism 143 arranged between the driving motor 141 and the movable piece 142.Figure 7 and Figure 8 In this design, the rotating component is a rotating arm, and the output shaft of the drive motor 141 is connected to one end of the rotating arm. The purification unit 120 is located at the other end of the rotating arm. In this way, when the drive motor 141 drives the rotating arm to rotate, the rotating arm drives the purification unit 120 to switch between the inside and outside of the cooking cavity 111 via the window 112.

[0095] For example, in Figure 7 In the middle, the drive motor 141 rotates forward (clockwise) to drive the rotating arm to move the purification unit 120 to the outside of the cooking cavity 111 and move away from the window 112. At this time, the shield 130 closes the window 112.

[0096] exist Figure 8 When the drive motor 141 reverses (rotates counterclockwise), the drive motor 141 drives the rotating arm to move the purification unit 120 toward the window 112. At this time, the shield 130 opens the window 112, and the drive motor 141 continues to drive the rotating arm to move, so that the rotating arm drives the purification unit 120 into the cooking cavity 111 through the window 112, so as to achieve the purification and deodorization effect of the inside of the cooking cavity 111 through the purification unit 120.

[0097] Additionally, please refer to Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the device body 110 has a first limiting structure 150 and a second limiting structure 160. When the rotating part abuts against the first limiting structure 150 (e.g., Figure 8 As shown in the diagram, the purification unit 120 moves into the cooking cavity 111; when the rotating part abuts against the second limiting structure 160 (as shown in the diagram), ... Figure 7 As shown in the diagram, the purification unit 120 moves to the outside of the cooking cavity 111, and the accuracy of the purification unit 120 switching between the inside and outside of the cooking cavity 111 is improved by limiting the rotation of the rotating part.

[0098] For example, such as Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, both the first limiting structure 150 and the second limiting structure 160 can be limiting protrusions. The limiting structure is simple, easy to implement, and low in cost.

[0099] In addition, the drive mechanism 140 also includes a transmission assembly 143, which is connected between the power output end of the drive motor 141 and the blocking member 130. The drive motor 141 is configured to drive the transmission assembly 143 to move, thereby causing the blocking member 130 to open or close the window 112. The transmission assembly 143 realizes the transmission of power to drive the blocking member 130 to open or close the window 112. The implementation method is simple and low cost.

[0100] In some embodiments, please refer toFigure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the transmission assembly 143 includes a gear set and a rack 1441. The blocking member 130 is disposed on the rack 1441. The drive motor 141 is configured to drive the rack 1441 to move in a first direction through the gear set, so that the rack 1441 drives the blocking member 130 to open or close the window 112. The transmission assembly 143 has a simple structure, is easy to implement, and has low cost.

[0101] For example, such as Figure 3 As shown, the gear set includes a first gear 1431, a second gear 1432, a third gear 1433, and a fourth gear 1434. The first gear 1431 is connected to the output shaft of the drive motor 141. The second gear 1432 meshes externally with the first gear 1431. The third gear 1433 is coaxially arranged with the second gear 1432. The fourth gear 1434 meshes externally with the third gear 1433. The rack 1441 meshes externally with the fourth gear 1434.
