[0041] The following refers to Figures 1-9 Describe a cooking device 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention. By mounting the waveguide assembly 2 on an inclined mounting surface 123, it is beneficial to reduce the overall volume of the cooking device 100, and thus beneficial to increase the inner cavity volume of the cooking device 100 and increase the food ingredient capacity.

[0042] like Figures 1-9 As shown, a cooking device 100 according to some embodiments of the present invention includes: a device body 1 and a waveguide assembly 2.

[0043] A cooking cavity 13 is formed in the device body 1, and the device body 1 is also provided with a cooking opening 112 connected to the cooking cavity 13, so that food can be put into the cooking cavity 13 from the cooking opening 112, or food in the cooking cavity 13 can be taken out from the cooking opening 112. The cooking opening 112 is provided at the front side of the device body 1, so that the user can operate and observe the state of the food in the cooking cavity 13, and a door body can be provided at the cooking opening 112 to open or close the cooking opening 112, so as to realize the opening and closing of the cooking cavity 13. It should be noted that the front side referred to in this application is the side of the cooking opening 112 facing the user, and the rear side is the side away from the user, and the left and right sides are the left and right sides of the cooking device 100 at the cooking opening 112.

[0044] Among them, the equipment body 1 is provided with an inclined mounting surface 123, and a microwave feed inlet 124 is provided at the inclined mounting surface 123. The waveguide tube assembly 2 is installed on the inclined mounting surface 123, and the waveguide tube assembly 2 forms a microwave introduction channel. The microwave introduction channel introduces microwaves toward the cooking cavity 13 through the microwave feed inlet 124. The waveguide tube assembly 2 can be installed at the inclined mounting surface 123 of the equipment body 1 to introduce microwaves from the microwave feed inlet 124 at the inclined mounting surface 123 toward the cooking cavity 13, thereby performing microwave heating on the food in the cooking cavity 13.

[0045] The inclined mounting surface 123 can be arranged at the top or the bottom of the device body 1, that is, the installation position of the waveguide assembly 2 can be flexibly selected and arranged. By arranging the inclined mounting surface 123 for installing the waveguide assembly 2, compared with the conventional arrangement of a plane in a single direction for installing the waveguide assembly 2, the space occupied by the waveguide assembly 2 in a single direction can be greatly reduced, thereby reducing the structural size of the cooking device 100 in a single direction.

[0046] As in the conventional solution, the waveguide assembly 2 is usually installed on the top, side or bottom of the device body 1, so that the arrangement of the waveguide assembly 2 will increase the space occupied and the structural size of the cooking device 100 in the up-down direction or the left-right direction. In the present invention, an inclined mounting surface 123 is arranged, and the inclined mounting surface 123 is arranged to be different from the conventional mounting plane, that is, the inclined mounting surface 123 is arranged to form an angle with the horizontal direction and the vertical direction, so that after the waveguide assembly 2 is installed on the inclined mounting surface 123, the space of the cooking device 100 in the horizontal direction can be utilized, and the space of the cooking device 100 in the vertical direction can also be utilized, thereby reducing the overall size of the cooking device 100 and realizing a miniaturized design.

[0047] Further, in the specific design, the inclined mounting surface 123 can be arranged at the top corner of the device main body 1, so that the waveguide component 2 can utilize the top space and the side space of the device main body 1, or the inclined mounting surface 123 can be arranged at the bottom corner of the device main body 1, so that the waveguide component 2 can utilize the bottom space and the side space of the device main body 1. Alternatively, the inclined mounting surface 123 can also be arranged at two adjacent side walls of the device main body 1, so that the waveguide component 2 can utilize the space in two directions in the horizontal plane of the device main body 1, such as the space in the front-back direction and the left-right direction on the device main body 1, thereby reducing the space size of the cooking device 100 in a single direction, such as the up-down direction, the front-back direction or the left-right direction, and further realizing the miniaturization setting of the cooking device 100. Further, in the case of the same cooking device 100, the space inside the device main body 1 can be set larger, and the food material capacity of the cooking cavity 13 can be increased.

[0048] According to the cooking device 100 of the embodiment of the present invention, by arranging the inclined mounting surface 123 on the device main body 1 and mounting the waveguide component 2 on the inclined mounting surface 123, the waveguide component 2 can microwave-heat the food materials in the cooking cavity 13, and the space occupied by the waveguide component 2 in a single direction of the cooking device 100 can be reduced, which is beneficial to reducing the overall structural size of the cooking device 100 and increasing the volume of the internal cooking cavity 13.

[0049] In some embodiments, the device main body 1 includes a main cavity 11 and a top cover plate 12. An installation opening 111 is formed at the top of the main cavity 11, and the top cover plate 12 is connected to the installation opening 111, that is, the top cover plate 12 is installed on the top of the main cavity 11 to jointly define the cooking cavity 13 with the main cavity 11. Among them, the top cover plate 12 can be fixed to the top of the main cavity 11 or can be configured to be detachably connected to the top of the main cavity 11.

[0050] The inclined mounting surface 123 is arranged on the top cover plate 12, that is, the microwave feeding port 124 is arranged on the top cover plate 12. In this way, after the waveguide component 2 is installed on the inclined mounting surface 123, the waveguide component 2 is arranged on the top cover plate 12. Among them, by arranging the inclined mounting surface 123 on the top cover plate 12, a part of the waveguide component 2 can be located in the space above the device main body 1, and another part can be located in the space on the side of the device main body 1. Further, the space occupied by the waveguide component 2 in the up-down direction of the cooking device 100 is relatively small, and the space occupied by the waveguide component 2 in the left-right direction of the cooking device 100 is also relatively small, which is beneficial to reducing the overall structural size of the cooking device 100 to increase the structural size of the cooking cavity 13.

[0051] Thus, the waveguide assembly 2 is installed above the top side of the device main body 1, realizing an inclined installation above the side of the device main body 1. In this way, not only is it beneficial to realize the miniaturized design of the structural dimensions, but also it is convenient for users to install the waveguide assembly 2.

[0052] For example, the waveguide assembly 2 can be connected to the inclined installation surface 123 through structures such as bolts. Users can disassemble and assemble the connection structures such as bolts above the cooking device 100, and then install or disassemble the waveguide assembly 2, making the operation more convenient.

[0053] In some embodiments, the top cover plate 12 includes a main board portion 121 and a side surrounding plate portion. The side surrounding plate portion is arranged around the main board portion 121 to be connected to the edge of the installation opening 111. Specifically, the main board portion 121 is arranged in the middle of the side surrounding plate portion, that is, the side surrounding plate portion can be constructed as an annular plate portion and surround the main board portion 121. When the top cover plate 12 is connected to the main cavity 11, the edge of the side surrounding plate portion away from the main board portion 121 can be connected to the top of the main cavity 11 to realize the closing of the installation opening 111.

[0054] Among them, at least a part of the side surrounding plate portion is constructed as an inclined plate. The inclined plate extends in the direction away from the main board portion 121 and slopes downward. The inclined plate forms an inclined installation surface 123. That is to say, the waveguide assembly 2 can be installed on the side surrounding plate portion so that the waveguide assembly 2 is located obliquely above the device main body 1, so as to be distributed in two directions relative to the device main body 1.

[0055] Specifically, as Figure 1 shown, an inclined plate is formed on the left side of the side surrounding plate portion, and an inclined installation surface 123 is provided on the inclined plate. The waveguide assembly 2 is installed on the inclined installation surface 123 to be inclined outward on the left side of the top of the device main body 1. In other words, the waveguide assembly 2 can utilize the space in the upper left of the device main body 1 to increase the utilization rate of the upper left corner space in the cooking device 100, and thus is beneficial to reducing the vertical dimension and the horizontal dimension of the cooking device 100.

[0056] Furthermore, in some embodiments, the side surrounding plate portion includes a plurality of side surrounding sub - plates 122. The plurality of side surrounding sub - plates 122 are bent and connected in sequence along the circumference of the main board portion 121, that is, the plurality of side surrounding sub - plates 122 can be connected in sequence to form an annular side surrounding plate portion. In other words, the shape of the side surrounding plate portion can be constructed to correspond to the shape of the main cavity 11. For example, if the main cavity 11 is constructed as a cube structure and the installation opening 111 is constructed as a rectangular opening, the side surrounding plate portion can be set to include four side surrounding sub - plates 122, and the four side surrounding sub - plates 122 can be respectively connected to the four edges of the installation opening 111.

[0057] Of course, the shape of the installation opening 111 and the number of side surrounding sub - plates 122 are not limited to this, and other forms can also be set.

[0058] At least one of the plurality of side enclosures 122 is configured as an inclined plate. That is, one of the plurality of side enclosures 122 can be set as an inclined plate, or two or more of the side enclosures 122 can be set as inclined plates. Thus, the corresponding number of waveguide components 2 can be set, and the setting quantity is flexible.

[0059] In other words, the waveguide component 2 in the present application can be set to one and installed on one inclined plate, or can be set to two or more and installed on different inclined plates respectively. Of course, in actual installation, the number of the waveguide components 2 is not limited. That is, one or two or more waveguide components 2 can be set on the inclined installation surface 123 of one inclined plate to increase the microwave introduction amount.

[0060] In some embodiments, among the plurality of side enclosures 122, the side enclosures 122 located at the rear side and / or the left and right sides of the main board portion 121 are configured as inclined plates. That is, one side enclosure 122 located at the rear side of the main board portion 121 can be configured as an inclined plate, and the waveguide component 2 is installed obliquely above the rear side of the device main body 1. Also, the side enclosure 122 on the left side of the main board portion 121 can be configured as an inclined plate, and the waveguide component 2 is installed obliquely above the left side of the device main body 1. Moreover, the side enclosure 122 on the right side of the main board portion 121 can be configured as an inclined plate, and the waveguide component 2 is installed obliquely above the right side of the device main body 1. The installation positions are flexibly selectable.

[0061] In other words, the waveguide component 2 can be installed at the rear side or the left and right sides of the top of the device main body 1 to meet the dimensional requirements of the cooking device 100 in terms of space.

[0062] Specifically, as Figure 1 、 Figure 6 and Figure 7 shown, one side enclosure 122 located at the rear side of the main board portion 121 is configured as an inclined plate, and an inclined installation space is formed at the top rear side of the device main body 1. At this time, the waveguide component 2 can be installed on the inclined installation surface 123 so that the waveguide component 2 is arranged in the installation space, realizing the utilization of space in the vertical and front-rear directions. Furthermore, the compact installation of the waveguide component 2 in the cooking device 100 can be realized, which is beneficial to reducing the height dimension and the front-rear thickness dimension of the cooking device 100.

[0063] In some embodiments, the included angle between the inclined installation surface 123 and the horizontal direction is smaller than the included angle between the inclined installation surface 123 and the vertical direction, as Figure 7As shown, the inclination angle of the inclined mounting surface 123 relative to the horizontal direction is smaller than the inclination angle of the inclined mounting surface 123 relative to the vertical direction. Thus, after the waveguide tube assembly 2 is installed on the inclined mounting surface 123, the inclination angle of the waveguide tube assembly 2 relative to the vertical direction is relatively small to avoid excessive tilting of the waveguide tube assembly 2.

[0064] For example, in actual design, the inclined mounting surface 123 can be set to an angle close to or equal to 30° with the horizontal direction, and at the same time, the inclined mounting surface 123 can be set to an angle close to or equal to 60° with the vertical direction. In this way, the waveguide tube assembly 2 can be supported on the inclined mounting surface 123, that is, the center of gravity of the waveguide tube assembly 2 is set to be directly above the inclined mounting surface 123, thereby avoiding the center of gravity of the waveguide tube assembly 2 being located on the side of the inclined mounting surface 123 to pull the inclined plate outward, thereby ensuring the structural stability of the top cover plate 12.

[0065] In some embodiments, the waveguide tube assembly 2 includes a first waveguide tube 21 and a second waveguide tube 22. The first waveguide tube 21 is formed with a microwave inlet 212, and the second waveguide tube 22 is provided with a microwave outlet 222 which is directly opposite to the microwave feed inlet 124. The microwave inlet channel is connected between the microwave inlet 212 and the microwave outlet 222. Thus, microwaves can enter the first waveguide tube 21 from the microwave inlet 212, and be guided to the second waveguide tube 22 along the microwave inlet channel, and then be guided from the microwave outlet 222 to the microwave feed inlet 124, so as to be introduced into the cooking cavity 13 from the microwave feed inlet 124, thereby realizing microwave cooking of the food.

[0066] Among them, the first waveguide tube 21 is connected to the second waveguide tube 22 by bending, that is, the first waveguide tube 21 and the second waveguide tube 22 can be extended in different directions, so that the first waveguide tube 21 and the second waveguide tube 22 can utilize the space in different directions to reduce the overall length of the waveguide tube assembly 2, which is more conducive to reducing the overall size of the cooking device 100.

[0067] Furthermore, by extending the first waveguide tube 21 and the second waveguide tube 22 in different directions, the first waveguide tube 21 and the second waveguide tube 22 can adapt to microwave sources and microwave feed ports 124 in different relative positions, thereby reducing the restrictions on the relative positions of the microwave source and the microwave feed port 124, such as arranging the microwave source at a position farther away from the microwave feed port 124, or arranging the microwave source at a different direction from the microwave feed port 124 on the device body 1, thereby making the arrangement of the waveguide tube assembly 2 more flexible and reducing the difficulty of arrangement.

[0068] In some embodiments, the first waveguide tube 21 and the second waveguide tube 22 may be integrally formed or fixedly connected as a whole to reduce the number of structural components.

[0069] And, as Figure 2 shown, a reinforcing rib 24 can be provided at the connection between the first waveguide 21 and the second waveguide 22 to improve the connection strength between the first waveguide 21 and the second waveguide 22 and avoid structural fracture at the connection between the two.

[0070] In some embodiments, the waveguide assembly 2 further includes a magnetron 23. The magnetron 23 is connected to the first waveguide 21 and is used to introduce microwaves toward the microwave waveguide inlet 212. In other words, the magnetron 23 can be used as a microwave source to introduce microwaves toward the microwave waveguide inlet 212, so as to generate and utilize microwaves inside the cooking device 100 without the need to provide an external microwave source, reducing the setting cost and improving the usability.

[0071] Among them, the magnetron 23 can be fixedly connected to the first waveguide 21, or can also be detachably connected through a connecting member. For example, the magnetron 23 and the first waveguide 21 are connected by bolts, and multiple bolts can be provided. For example, multiple bolts can be distributed around the microwave waveguide inlet 212 to improve the connection stability.

[0072] In some embodiments, the magnetron 23 and the first waveguide 21 are connected and distributed in a first direction, and the second waveguide 22 and the inclined mounting surface 123 are connected and distributed in a second direction. The first direction is perpendicular to the second direction. Thus, the first waveguide 21 and the second waveguide 22 can be installed with the magnetron 23 and the device main body 1 in different directions respectively, and the two installation directions are perpendicular to each other.

[0073] Among them, the first direction can be configured as the opening direction of the microwave waveguide inlet 212. Specifically, a first connecting flange 211 can be provided at the edge of the first waveguide 21. The first connecting flange 211 can be connected to the magnetron 23 through bolts extending in the first direction to achieve their fixed installation. And the second direction can be set as the direction perpendicular to the inclined mounting surface 123, that is, the opening direction of the microwave feed inlet 124. Specifically, a second connecting flange 221 can be provided at the edge of the second waveguide 22. The second connecting flange 221 can be connected to the inclined mounting surface 123 through bolts extending in the second direction to achieve their fixed installation.

[0074] Thus, the magnetron 23, the first waveguide 21, and the second waveguide 22 can be combined and installed on the device main body 1 in different installation directions, so that the connection direction between the magnetron 23 and the first waveguide 21 does not coincide with the connection direction between the second waveguide 22 and the device main body 1. Thus, it can be avoided that the magnetron 23, the first waveguide 21, the second waveguide 22, and the device main body 1 are all in the same direction, that is, the structural size of the cooking device 100 in a single direction is reduced, realizing miniaturization setting.

[0075] In some embodiments, the first waveguide 21 is vertically connected to the second waveguide 22, wherein Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, the first waveguide 21 and the second waveguide 22 are both box-shaped, and the sides of the first waveguide 21 and the second waveguide 22 facing each other are perpendicular to each other. At the same time, the microwave introduction channel can be configured to include a first channel and a second channel, the first channel is located in the first waveguide 21, and the second channel is located in the second waveguide 22, that is, the first channel can be configured to be vertically connected to the second channel, so that the microwave can change angle from the first channel to enter the second channel, and then enter the cooking cavity 13.

[0076] In this way, not only can the microwaves be guided in different directions and the restrictions of the microwave introduction direction on the installation position of the magnetron 23 be reduced, but the first waveguide tube 21 can be installed side by side with the magnetron 23 above the equipment body in the first direction, thereby reducing the space occupied by the waveguide tube assembly 2 in the second direction, which is beneficial to reducing the overall structural size of the cooking device 100.

[0077] In some embodiments, the cooking device 100 also includes a stirring structure 3, which includes a microwave stirring member 33. The microwave stirring member 33 is used to stir the microwaves introduced into the cooking cavity 13, thereby allowing the microwaves to enter the cooking cavity 13 in a relatively dispersed manner, that is, to heat the food in the cooking cavity 13 from different angles.

[0078] It should be noted that, in the process of the waveguide assembly 2 introducing microwaves into the cooking cavity 13, the microwaves are directionally introduced along the microwave introduction channel, so that the microwaves entering the cooking cavity 13 are concentrated in a partial area. In the present application, by setting a stirring structure 3, the introduced microwaves can be dispersed so that the microwaves can enter different areas of the cooking cavity 13 from different angles or directions, that is, the food can be heated from different angles, thereby enhancing the uniformity of the heating of the food and improving the taste of the food.

[0079] In some embodiments, the stirring structure 3 includes a stirring drive member 31 and a connecting shaft 32. The stirring drive member 31 is located outside the equipment body 1. The stirring drive member 31 is connected to the microwave stirring member 33 through the connecting shaft 32 to drive the microwave stirring member 33 to rotate. That is to say, the stirring drive member 31 and the microwave stirring member 33 are respectively located on the outside and inside of the equipment body 1, and are connected by transmission through the connecting shaft 32 that passes through the equipment body 1, so that the stirring drive member 31 can drive the microwave stirring member 33 to rotate, thereby realizing the stirring effect of the microwave.

[0080] Among them, the stirring driving member 31 can be set as a driving motor, and the driving motor is installed outside the equipment main body 1, which can ensure that the driving motor will not be affected by microwave heating, ensure that the working temperature of the driving motor is relatively stable, and further ensure the working reliability of the microwave stirring member 33.

[0081] Moreover, during specific installation, one end of the connecting shaft 32 can be fixedly connected to the motor shaft of the driving motor. At the same time, the other end of the connecting shaft 32 is fixedly connected to the middle part of the microwave stirring member 33. Thus, when the motor shaft rotates, it can drive the microwave stirring member 33 to rotate synchronously, realizing automatic stirring of the microwave, which is beneficial to enhancing the dispersing effect on the microwave.

[0082] In some embodiments, the connecting shaft 32 penetrates the microwave introduction channel and extends to the microwave feed inlet 124. Thus, one end of the connecting shaft 32 extending to the microwave feed inlet 124 is connected to the microwave stirring member 33, that is, the microwave stirring member 33 is located at the microwave feed inlet 124. In other words, after the waveguide assembly 2 introduces the microwave to the microwave feed inlet 124, it is guided to the microwave stirring member 33. Thus, when the microwave stirring member 33 rotates, it can directly stir the microwave at the microwave feed inlet 124, making the microwave entering the cooking cavity 13 stirred and dispersed, and then conducting in different directions in the cooking cavity 13.

[0083] Moreover, the connecting shaft 32 penetrating the microwave introduction channel can enable the connecting shaft 32 to play a certain role in dispersing the microwave during the rotation process. At the same time, the connecting shaft 32 does not need to be provided with a separate penetration space, that is, the waveguide assembly 2 and the stirring structure 3 achieve spatial sharing, improving the structural compactness of the cooking device 100.

[0084] In some embodiments, the cooking device 100 further includes a waveguide cover 4. The waveguide cover 4 is installed inside the inclined installation surface 123 and jointly defines a receiving space 41 with the inner wall of the cooking cavity 13, that is, the waveguide cover 4 is located in the cooking cavity 13, and the waveguide cover 4 covers the inside of the microwave feed inlet 124. The waveguide cover 4 is also provided with a connection opening 42, and the connection opening 42 communicates between the receiving space 41 and the cooking cavity 13. In this way, the microwave in the waveguide assembly 2 can enter the receiving space 41 from the microwave feed inlet 124 and enter the cooking cavity 13 from the receiving space 41 through the connection opening 42.

[0085] The microwave stirrer 33 is disposed in the accommodation space 41. That is, the microwave generated by the waveguide assembly 2 can enter the cooking cavity 13 after passing through the accommodation space 41. In this process, the microwave entering the accommodation space 41 can be dispersed under the action of the microwave stirrer 33, and then enter the cooking cavity 13 from the connection opening 42 after being dispersed. Among them, the microwave stirrer 33 can centrally disperse the microwave in the accommodation space 41, so that most of the microwave entering the cooking cavity 13 can be dispersed by the microwave stirrer 33, improving the dispersion effect of the microwave.

[0086] Moreover, by providing the waveguide cover 4 to cover the outside of the microwave stirrer 33, the waveguide cover 4 can accommodate and protect the microwave stirrer 33, ensuring the stable working state of the microwave stirrer 33. Among them, the depth of the accommodation space 41 can be set to exceed 3 mm to ensure the capacity of the accommodation space 41.

[0087] In some embodiments, a partition 5 is provided at the connection opening 42. The partition 5 is made of a non-metallic material. Among them, by providing the non-metallic partition 5, the microwave stirrer 33 in the accommodation space 41 can be separated from the cooking cavity 13, which is used to shield the stirring antenna and prevent the antenna from being touched during use, improving the structural safety of the microwave stirrer 33. At the same time, by providing the partition 5 made of a non-metallic material, it will not affect the introduction of the microwave into the cooking cavity 13, ensuring the cooking effect of the ingredients in the cooking cavity 13.

[0088] In some embodiments, the cooking device 100 is an embedded microwave oven. Among them, the embedded microwave oven can be embedded in the kitchen cabinet or wall. By providing the waveguide assembly 2 installed in the above manner on the cooking device 100, it is beneficial to reduce the space height requirement of the cooking device in a single direction, and thus it is beneficial for the cooking device 100 to achieve embedded installation.
