Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the technical field of kitchen utensils, and particularly to a camera module structure of a cooking device and a cooking device. Background Art

[0002] Cooking devices such as steam ovens, ovens, and steam and convection ovens are configured with built-in cameras to observe the state of the food inside and record the cooking process.

[0003] In existing cooking devices, a shooting window is opened on the cooking inner container, and a light-transmitting member, such as transparent glass, is provided on the shooting window. The camera takes pictures of the food in the cooking inner container through the light-transmitting member.

[0004] However, when the cooking device is cooking food, the temperature inside the cooking inner container will rise, causing the temperature of the light-transmitting member at the shooting window to be relatively high. The high-temperature light-transmitting member will heat the camera, thereby reducing the service life of the camera. Summary of the Invention

[0005] This application provides a camera module structure of a cooking device and a cooking device to solve the technical problem that the temperature of the light-transmitting member at the shooting window of the existing cooking device is relatively high.

[0009] In a possible implementation, the air outlet end of the cooling fan faces the inside of the housing to blow air to cool the camera module inside the housing. A ventilation hole is provided on the surface of the housing facing the light-transmitting member, and the ventilation hole is located on the flow path so that the air blown out by the cooling fan blows through the ventilation hole to the light-transmitting member and the diversion mechanism.

[0011] In a possible implementation, the flow guiding mechanism includes at least one flow guiding strip assembly. The flow guiding strip assembly includes a flow guiding strip body. One end of the flow guiding strip body is rotatably connected to the mounting sleeve, and the other end of the flow guiding strip body extends toward the periphery of the light-transmitting member. The flow guiding strip body is configured to guide at least part of the air blown out by the heat dissipation fan from the middle of the light-transmitting member to the periphery of the light-transmitting member through the surface of the light-transmitting member. The flow guiding strip body is configured to be driven by the air blown out by the heat dissipation fan, so that the end rotatably connected to the mounting sleeve rotates around the mounting sleeve to change the flow guiding direction of the flow guiding strip body.

[0012] In a possible implementation, the flow guiding strip assembly further includes an elastic resetting member, and the elastic resetting member is arranged on the flow guiding strip body;

[0013] The elastic resetting member is configured to form a gap with the mounting sleeve when the rotation angle of the flow guiding strip body around the mounting sleeve is less than or equal to a preset angle; when the rotation angle of the flow guiding strip body around the mounting sleeve is greater than the preset angle, it abuts against the outer wall of the mounting sleeve and applies a resetting force to the flow guiding strip body.

[0014] In a possible implementation, a heat dissipation gap is provided between the flow guiding strip body and the light-transmitting member, and the heat dissipation gap is used to allow at least part of the air blown out by the heat dissipation fan to blow toward the light-transmitting member through the heat dissipation gap.

[0015] In a possible implementation, the projection of the flow guiding mechanism facing the light-transmitting member is located within the light-transmitting member.

[0016] In a possible implementation, it further includes at least one first lighting device arranged on the housing. A lighting opening is provided on the surface of the housing facing the light-transmitting member, and the first lighting device irradiates the light-transmitting member through the lighting opening, so as to irradiate the food in the cooking inner container through the light-transmitting member.

[0017] A second aspect of the embodiments of the present application provides a cooking device, including a main body, and further including the camera module structure of the cooking device described in any one of the above, and the camera module structure of the cooking device is arranged on the main body.

[0019] A camera module structure of a cooking device and a cooking device provided by the present application. The camera module structure of the cooking device includes a light-transmitting member, a camera module, a cooling fan, a housing, a mounting sleeve, and a guiding mechanism. The light-transmitting member is disposed on the cooking inner container of the cooking device for the camera module to capture food within the cooking inner container. The housing is disposed on the outer wall of the cooking inner container, and both the camera module and the cooling fan are disposed on the housing. A part of the camera of the camera module is located outside the housing and is opposite to the light-transmitting member. The mounting sleeve is sleeved on the camera located outside the housing, and the guiding mechanism is disposed on the mounting sleeve. Both the guiding mechanism and the light-transmitting member are located on the flow path of the cooling air flow of the cooling fan. The guiding mechanism is used to guide at least part of the air blown out by the cooling fan from the middle of the light-transmitting member through the surface of the light-transmitting member to the periphery of the light-transmitting member to cool the light-transmitting member. Since the guiding mechanism is provided between the cooling fan and the light-transmitting member in the camera module structure of the cooking device provided by the present application, the guiding mechanism guides at least part of the air blown out by the cooling fan from the middle of the light-transmitting member through the surface of the light-transmitting member to the periphery of the light-transmitting member to cool the light-transmitting member, so that the air blown out by the cooling fan covers the light-transmitting member more evenly, thereby increasing the area of the light-transmitting member blown by the air, and further improving the heat dissipation effect on the light-transmitting member, thus avoiding the temperature of the light-transmitting member from being too high, and further increasing the service life of the camera.

[0041] Here, the exemplary embodiments will be described in detail, and the examples are shown in the drawings. When the following description refers to the drawings, unless otherwise indicated, the same numbers in different drawings represent the same or similar elements. The implementation manners described in the following exemplary embodiments do not represent all implementation manners consistent with the present application.

[0042] It should be noted that all directional indications (such as up, down, left, right, front, back,...) in the embodiments of the present application are only used to explain the relative positional relationship and movement conditions between components in a specific posture (as shown in the drawings). If the specific posture changes, the directional indications will also change accordingly.

[0043] In the present application, unless otherwise clearly specified and defined, terms such as "connection" and "fixation" should be understood in a broad sense. For example, "fixation" can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or integrated; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be directly connected or indirectly connected through an intermediate medium, and it can be the internal communication of two components or the interaction relationship between two components, unless otherwise clearly defined. For those of ordinary skill in the art, the specific meanings of the above - mentioned terms in the present application can be understood according to specific situations.

[0044] In addition, if the embodiments of the present application involve descriptions such as "first", "second", etc., the descriptions of "first", "second", etc. are only for descriptive purposes and should not be construed as indicating or implying their relative importance or implicitly specifying the quantity of the indicated technical features. Thus, the features defined with "first" and "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one such feature. In addition, the meaning of "and / or" appearing throughout the text includes three parallel scenarios. Taking "A and / or B" as an example, it includes Scenario A, or Scenario B, or the scenario where both A and B are satisfied simultaneously. In addition, the technical solutions between the various embodiments can be combined with each other, but it must be based on the ability of those of ordinary skill in the art to implement. When the combination of technical solutions is contradictory or cannot be implemented, it should be considered that such a combination of technical solutions does not exist and is not within the scope of protection required by the present application. Cooking devices such as steam ovens, ovens, and steam and convection ovens are configured with built-in cameras to observe the state of the internal food and record the cooking process by taking pictures.

[0045] In the existing cooking devices, a shooting window is opened on the cooking inner container, and a light-transmitting member, such as a transparent glass, is provided on the shooting window. The camera takes pictures of the food in the cooking inner container through the light-transmitting member.

[0046] However, when the cooking device is cooking food, the temperature inside the cooking inner container will rise, resulting in a relatively high temperature of the light-transmitting member at the shooting window. The high-temperature light-transmitting member will heat the camera, thereby reducing the service life of the camera.

[0047] To solve the technical problem of the relatively high temperature of the light-transmitting member at the shooting window of the existing cooking devices, the present application proposes a camera module structure of a cooking device and a cooking device. The camera module structure of the cooking device includes a light-transmitting member, a camera module, a cooling fan, a housing, a mounting sleeve, and a diversion mechanism; the light-transmitting member is provided on the cooking inner container of the cooking device for the camera module to take pictures of the food in the cooking inner container, the housing is provided on the outer wall of the cooking inner container, the camera module and the cooling fan are both provided on the housing, and a part of the camera of the camera module is located outside the housing and is opposite to the light-transmitting member; the mounting sleeve is sleeved on the camera located outside the housing, the diversion mechanism is provided on the mounting sleeve, and both the diversion mechanism and the light-transmitting member are located on the flow path of the cooling air flow blown by the cooling fan. The diversion mechanism is used to divert at least part of the air blown by the cooling fan from the middle of the light-transmitting member to the periphery of the light-transmitting member through the surface of the light-transmitting member to cool the light-transmitting member.

[0048] In the camera module structure of the cooking device provided by this application, since a diversion mechanism is provided between the cooling fan and the light-transmitting member, the diversion mechanism diverts at least part of the air blown out by the cooling fan from the middle of the light-transmitting member to the periphery of the light-transmitting member through the surface of the light-transmitting member to cool the light-transmitting member, so that the air blown out by the cooling fan covers the light-transmitting member more evenly, thereby increasing the area of the light-transmitting member blown by the air, further improving the heat dissipation effect on the light-transmitting member, thus avoiding the temperature of the light-transmitting member from being too high, and further increasing the service life of the camera.

[0049] The following will specifically describe the technical solutions of the application with reference to the accompanying drawings through specific embodiments. These specific embodiments can be combined with each other, and the same or similar concepts or processes may not be repeated in some embodiments.

[0050] In the embodiment of this application, with reference to Figures 1 to 4 As shown, a first aspect of the embodiment of this application provides a camera module structure of a cooking device, including a light-transmitting member 100, a camera module 200, a cooling fan 300, a housing 400, a mounting sleeve 520, and a diversion mechanism 600; the light-transmitting member 100 is arranged on the cooking inner pot 20 of the cooking device for the camera module 200 to photograph the food in the cooking inner pot 20, the housing 400 is arranged on the outer wall of the cooking inner pot 20, both the camera module 200 and the cooling fan 300 are arranged on the housing 400, and the camera 210 of the camera module 200 is partially located outside the housing 400 and is opposite to the light-transmitting member 100; the mounting sleeve 520 is sleeved on the camera 210 located outside the housing 400, the diversion mechanism 600 is arranged on the mounting sleeve 520, and both the diversion mechanism 600 and the light-transmitting member 100 are located on the flow path of the cooling air flow of the cooling fan 300, and the diversion mechanism 600 is used to divert at least part of the air blown out by the cooling fan 300 from the middle of the light-transmitting member 100 to the periphery of the light-transmitting member 100 through the surface of the light-transmitting member 100 to cool the light-transmitting member 100.

[0051] The light-transmitting member 100 of the camera module structure of the cooking device of this application can be a transparent glass, and the transparent glass is installed on the shooting window 21 of the cooking inner pot 20 of the cooking device. The camera module 200 can take pictures of the cooked food in the cooking inner pot 20 through the transparent glass or record the cooking process by photography.

[0052] The housing 400 is arranged on the outer wall of the cooking inner pot 20, that is, the housing 400 is located outside the cooking inner pot 20, and the housing 400 can be located between the outer enclosure panel 40 of the cooking device and the cooking inner pot 20.

[0053] With reference to Figure 3 As shown, the housing 400 is connected to the outer wall of the cooking inner pot 20 through a connecting member 900, and the connecting member 900 can be a bolt.

[0054] The camera module 200 and the cooling fan 300 are both arranged on the housing 400. The specific position of the camera module 200 installed on the housing 400 can be set according to the actual situation. It only needs to ensure that the camera 210 of the camera module 200 faces the light-transmitting member 100, so that the camera 210 can capture the food in the cooking inner pot 20 through the light-transmitting member 100, and it is necessary to ensure that there are no obstacles between the camera 210 and the light-transmitting member 100.

[0055] The specific position of the cooling fan 300 installed on the housing 400 can be set according to the actual situation. It only needs to ensure that the air blown by the cooling fan 300 can reach the light-transmitting member 100, that is, the cooling fan 300, so that the air blown by the cooling fan 300 can blow and cool the light-transmitting member 100. A first heat dissipation air duct 50 is formed between the cooling fan 300 and the light-transmitting member 100, and the air blown by the cooling fan 300 blows towards the light-transmitting member 100 through the first heat dissipation air duct 50.

[0056] The diversion mechanism 600 is arranged on the mounting sleeve 520. The diversion mechanism 600 is used to divert at least part of the air blown by the cooling fan 300 from the middle of the light-transmitting member 100 and through the surface of the light-transmitting member 100 to the periphery of the light-transmitting member 100 to cool the periphery of the light-transmitting member 100. Through the diversion effect of the diversion mechanism 600, the blowing area of the cooling fan 300 on the light-transmitting member 100 is expanded.

[0057] In the camera module structure of the cooking device provided by the present application, since the diversion mechanism 600 is arranged between the cooling fan 300 and the light-transmitting member 100, the diversion mechanism 600 diverts at least part of the air blown by the cooling fan 300 from the middle of the light-transmitting member 100 through the surface of the light-transmitting member 100 to the periphery of the light-transmitting member 100 to cool the light-transmitting member 100, so that the air blown by the cooling fan 300 more evenly covers the light-transmitting member 100, thereby increasing the area of the light-transmitting member 100 blown by the air, and further improving the heat dissipation effect on the light-transmitting member 100, so as to avoid the temperature of the light-transmitting member 100 being too high, and further increasing the service life of the camera 210.

[0058] In other embodiments, the air outlet end of the cooling fan 300 faces the inside of the housing 400 to blow and cool the camera module 200 inside the housing 400. A ventilation hole 410 is provided on the surface of the housing 400 facing the light-transmitting member 100, and the ventilation hole 410 is located on the flow path, so that the air blown by the cooling fan 300 blows towards the light-transmitting member 100 and the diversion mechanism 600 through the ventilation hole 410.

[0059] In this embodiment, refer to Figure 4As shown, a part of the camera module 200 is located inside the housing 400, and the rest is located outside the housing 400. The camera module 200 located outside the housing 400 is a partial camera 210. Since the air outlet end of the cooling fan 300 faces inside the housing 400, that is, the cooling fan 300 can blow air into the housing 400. In other words, the camera module 200 located inside the housing 400 is also on the flow path of the cooling air flow of the cooling fan 300. To ensure that the air blown out by the cooling fan 300 can reach the light transmissive member 100, ventilation holes 410 are provided on the housing 400. The ventilation holes 410 are located between the cooling fan 300 and the light transmissive member 100. When the cooling fan 300 blows air into the housing 400, while cooling the camera module 200 inside the housing 400 by blowing air, it blows air through the ventilation holes 410 to the light transmissive member 100 and the flow guiding mechanism 600, so that at least part of the air blown out by the cooling fan 300 reaches the flow guiding mechanism 600 and the light transmissive member 100 through the ventilation holes 410. Obviously, the ventilation holes 410 are located in the first cooling air duct 50.

[0060] In some embodiments, the surface of the housing 400 facing the light transmissive member 100 is parallel to the light transmissive member 100, and a photography hole is provided on the surface of the housing 400 facing the light transmissive member 100. The camera 210 passes through the photography hole and faces the light transmissive member 100.

[0061] In this embodiment, the setting of the photography hole ensures that the camera 210 can extend outside the housing 400. And since the surface of the housing 400 facing the light transmissive member 100 is parallel to the light transmissive member 100, the surface of the housing 400 facing the light transmissive member 100 also forms a wind guiding surface and has the function of guiding wind. Thus, a wind duct is formed between the surface of the housing 400 facing the light transmissive member 100 and the light transmissive member 100, and the wind duct formed between the surface of the housing 400 facing the light transmissive member 100 and the light transmissive member 100 belongs to a part of the first cooling air duct 50. The formation of the wind duct improves the air flow speed, makes the wind force more concentrated, and further improves the cooling effect on the light transmissive member 100.

[0062] In a possible embodiment, referring to Figure 5 、 Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the flow guiding mechanism 600 includes at least one flow guiding strip assembly 610. The flow guiding strip assembly 610 includes a flow guiding strip body 611. One end of the flow guiding strip body 611 is rotatably connected to the mounting sleeve 520, and the other end of the flow guiding strip body 611 extends towards the periphery of the light transmissive member 100. The flow guiding strip body 611 is used to guide at least part of the air blown out by the cooling fan 300 from the middle of the light transmissive member 100 to the periphery of the light transmissive member 100 through the surface of the light transmissive member 100. The flow guiding strip body 611 is configured to be driven by the air blown out by the cooling fan 300, so that the end rotatably connected to the mounting sleeve 520 rotates around the mounting sleeve 520 to change the flow guiding direction of the flow guiding strip body 611.

[0063] In this embodiment, one end of the flow guiding strip body 611 is rotatably connected to the mounting sleeve 520, and the other end of the flow guiding strip body 611 extends towards the periphery of the light transmissive member 100. When the cooling fan 300 blows air, the air blown by the cooling fan 300 causes the end of the flow guiding strip body 611 rotatably connected to the mounting sleeve 520 to rotate around the mounting sleeve 520, thereby changing the flow guiding direction of the flow guiding strip body 611 and adjusting the wind speed blown by the cooling fan 300. That is, the flow guiding direction of the flow guiding strip body 611 can be changed. When adjusting the wind speed blown by the cooling fan 300 to be large or small, the end of the flow guiding strip body 611 rotatably connected to the mounting sleeve 520 can be made to swing back and forth around the mounting sleeve 520, so that the air blown on the light transmissive member 100 is more uniform, improving the heat dissipation effect on the light transmissive member 100.

[0064] It should be noted that the wind speed of the cooling fan 300 can be controlled by a controller.

[0065] In a certain embodiment, referring to Figure 5 and Figure 6 as shown, the flow guiding strip assembly 610 further includes an elastic reset member 612, and the elastic reset member 612 is disposed on the flow guiding strip body 611; the elastic reset member 612 is configured such that when the rotation angle of the flow guiding strip body 611 around the mounting sleeve 520 is less than or equal to a preset angle, a gap is formed between the elastic reset member 612 and the mounting sleeve 520; when the rotation angle of the flow guiding strip body 611 around the mounting sleeve 520 is greater than the preset angle, the elastic reset member 612 abuts against the outer wall of the mounting sleeve 520 and applies a reset force to the flow guiding strip body 611.

[0066] In this embodiment, when the wind speed blown by the cooling fan 300 is small and the rotation angle of the flow guiding strip body 611 around the mounting sleeve 520 is less than or equal to the preset angle, a gap is formed between the elastic reset member 612 and the mounting sleeve 520, that is, the elastic reset member 612 does not contact the mounting sleeve 520.

[0067] When the wind speed blown by the heat dissipation fan 300 is relatively high, such that the angle by which the guide strip 611 rotates around the mounting sleeve 520 is greater than a preset angle, the elastic reset member 612 abuts against the outer wall of the mounting sleeve 520, that is, the elastic reset member 612 is compressed. At this time, the elastic reset member 612 exerts a reset force on the guide strip 611. At this time, if the wind speed of the heat dissipation fan 300 is reduced, and the force exerted by the wind blown by the heat dissipation fan 300 on the guide strip 611 is less than the reset force exerted by the elastic reset member 612 on the guide strip 611, the guide strip 611 will slowly reset. If the wind speed of the heat dissipation fan 300 is reduced to a certain value, the guide strip 611 will, under the influence of the reset force of the elastic reset member 612, reset to its initial position, thereby ensuring that the guide strip 611 swings back and forth when the wind speed is adjusted, and further making the wind blowing on the light-transmitting member 100 more uniform, improving the heat dissipation effect on the light-transmitting member 100.

[0068] It should be noted that the elastic reset member 612 can be a spring strip.

[0069] In other embodiments, referring to Figure 10 As shown, a heat dissipation gap 700 is provided between the guide strip 611 and the light-transmitting member 100. The heat dissipation gap 700 is used to allow at least part of the wind blown by the heat dissipation fan 300 to pass through the heat dissipation gap 700 and blow towards the light-transmitting member 100.

[0070] In this embodiment, since a heat dissipation gap 700 is provided between the guide strip 611 and the light-transmitting member 100, the wind blown by the hot air blower can pass through the heat dissipation gap 700 and blow towards the light-transmitting member 100, such that the entire surface of the light-transmitting member 100 facing the heat dissipation fan 300 is blown by the wind blown by the heat dissipation fan 300, thereby improving the heat dissipation effect of the light-transmitting member 100.

[0071] In a possible embodiment, referring to Figure 8 and Figure 9 As shown, the projection of the guide mechanism 600 towards the light-transmitting member 100 is located within the light-transmitting member 100.

[0072] In this embodiment, since the projection of the guide mechanism 600 towards the light-transmitting member 100 is located within the light-transmitting member 100, when the wind is guided from one end of the guide strip 611 close to the mounting sleeve 520 to the end of the guide strip 611 far from the mounting sleeve 520, the wind will spread out at the end of the guide strip 611 far from the mounting sleeve 520, such that the four peripheral edges of the light-transmitting member 100 can all be blown, improving the heat dissipation effect on the four peripheral edges of the light-transmitting member 100.

[0073] In another possible embodiment, referring to Figure 11 、 Figure 12 and Figure 13As shown, the camera module 200 is located between the cooling fan 300 and the light-transmitting member 100, and at least part of the air blown by the cooling fan 300 blows towards the camera module 200 to cool the camera module 200.

[0074] In this embodiment, since at least part of the air blown by the cooling fan 300 blows towards the camera module 200, the cooling fan 300 can also cool the camera module 200. By simultaneously cooling the two components of the camera module 200 and the light-transmitting member 100 through the cooling fan 300, the heating rate of the camera module 200 is further reduced, thereby further improving the service life of the camera module 200.

[0075] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 5 As shown, the mounting sleeve 520 is a heat-insulating sleeve. One end of the heat-insulating sleeve close to the light-transmitting member 100 abuts against the light-transmitting member 100 to seal the gap between the heat-insulating sleeve and the light-transmitting member 100.

[0076] In this embodiment, the heat-insulating sleeve plays a role in heat insulation for the camera 210, preventing the surrounding ambient temperature from rising and affecting the camera 210. At the same time, since one end of the heat-insulating sleeve close to the light-transmitting member 100 abuts against the light-transmitting member 100, it can prevent internal dust from entering the camera 210, playing a role in sealing the camera 210 located outside the housing 400.

[0077] In a possible embodiment, referring to Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, it further includes at least one first lighting device 800 provided on the housing 400. A lighting opening 420 is provided on the surface of the housing 400 facing the light-transmitting member 100. The first lighting device 800 irradiates the light-transmitting member 100 through the lighting opening 420 to irradiate the food in the cooking inner pot 20 through the light-transmitting member 100.

[0078] In this embodiment, through the irradiation of the first lighting device 800, the brightness of the cooking inner pot 20 is improved, making the camera 210 take clearer pictures and improving the shooting effect.

[0079] Furthermore, referring to Figure 17 As shown, a second lighting device 30 is further provided in the cooking inner pot 20. The brightness of the cooking inner pot 20 is further improved by the simultaneous irradiation of the first lighting device 800 and the second lighting device 30.

[0080] In other embodiments, referring to Figures 14 to 16As shown, an embodiment of the present application provides a camera module structure for a cooking device, further including a deflector 510. The deflector 510 is disposed on the camera module 200, and one side of the deflector 510 faces the camera module 200, and the other side of the deflector 510 faces the light transmissive member 100. The deflector 510 is used to increase the wind speed of the cooling fan 300 blowing towards a part of the camera module 200.

[0081] One side of the deflector 510 faces the camera module 200. The side of the deflector 510 facing the camera module 200 is used to deflect at least part of the wind blown out by the cooling fan 300 to a part of the camera module 200. The other side of the deflector 510 faces the light transmissive member 100. The side of the deflector 510 facing the light transmissive member 100 is used to deflect at least part of the wind blown out by the cooling fan 300 onto the light transmissive member 100.

[0082] The side of the deflector 510 facing the camera module 200 can be a streamlined convex surface 511, so as to increase the flow rate of the air flow on the side of the deflector 510 facing the camera module 200, that is, increase the wind speed blowing towards the camera module 200, and further improve the heat dissipation effect on the camera module 200.

[0083] Similarly, the side of the deflector 510 facing the light transmissive member 100 can be a streamlined convex surface 511, so as to increase the flow rate of the air flow on the side of the deflector 510 facing the light transmissive member 100, that is, increase the wind speed blowing towards the light transmissive member 100, and further improve the heat dissipation effect on the light transmissive member 100.

[0084] In the present application, the cooling fan 300 blows air to cool the camera module 200 and the light transmissive member 100 at the same time, so as to improve the heat dissipation effect on the camera module 200, and further improve the service life of the camera module 200. At the same time, since the deflector 510 is disposed on the camera module 200, under the action of the deflector 510, the wind speed on the side of the deflector 510 facing the camera module 200 and the wind speed on the side of the deflector 510 facing the light transmissive member 100 are both increased, thereby improving the heat dissipation effect on the camera module 200 and the light transmissive member 100, and further improving the service life of the camera 210.

[0085] In a possible embodiment, referring to Figure 14 、 Figure 15 and Figure 16 As shown, the side of the deflector 510 facing the camera module 200 is a streamlined convex surface 511, and the side of the deflector 510 facing the light transmissive member 100 is a flat surface 512.

[0086] In this embodiment, since the air blown by the heat dissipation fan 300 will pass through the side of the flow guide plate 510 facing the camera module 200 and the side of the flow guide plate 510 facing the light transmissive member 100, the flow guide plate 510 is similar to an airfoil. Since the side of the flow guide plate 510 facing the camera module 200 is a streamlined convex surface 511 and the side of the flow guide plate 510 facing the light transmissive member 100 is a flat surface 512, the flow velocity of the air flow on the side of the flow guide plate 510 facing the camera module 200 and the side of the flow guide plate 510 facing the light transmissive member 100 is different. That is, the flow velocity of the air flow on the side of the flow guide plate 510 facing the camera module 200 is fast, and the flow velocity of the air flow on the side of the flow guide plate 510 facing the light transmissive member 100 is slow. Thus, the pressure on the side of the flow guide plate 510 facing the light transmissive member 100 is higher than that on the side of the flow guide plate 510 facing the camera module 200, forming a pressure difference on the flow guide plate 510. Since the air blown by the heat dissipation fan 300 will converge at one end of the flow guide plate 510 away from the heat dissipation fan 300, and since the wind speed on the side of the flow guide plate 510 facing the camera module 200 is greater than the wind speed on the side of the flow guide plate 510 facing the light transmissive member 100, the wind on the side of the flow guide plate 510 facing the camera module 200 will drive the wind on the side of the flow guide plate 510 facing the light transmissive member 100 to increase its speed, that is, the wind speed on the side of the flow guide plate 510 facing the light transmissive member 100 is increased, thereby increasing the wind speed of blowing on the light transmissive member 100, further improving the heat dissipation effect on the light transmissive member 100, thus avoiding the temperature of the light transmissive member 100 from being too high, and further increasing the service life of the camera 210.

[0087] It should be noted that when the flow guide plate 510 is located inside the housing 400, the side of the housing 400 facing the light transmissive member 100 forms the side of the flow guide plate 510 facing the light transmissive member 100.

[0088] Since the side of the flow guide plate 510 facing the camera module 200 is a streamlined convex surface 511, that is, the wind speed blowing on the camera module 200 is increased, and the heat dissipation effect on the camera module 200 is improved.

[0089] In other embodiments, referring to Figure 15 as shown, the included angle between the flow guide plate 510 and the air outlet surface of the heat dissipation fan 300 is α, and 0° < α ≤ 90°.

[0090] In this embodiment, the included angle between the flow guide plate 510 and the air outlet surface of the heat dissipation fan 300 is set as α, so that the air blown by the heat dissipation fan 300 can blow on the upper and lower surfaces of the flow guide plate 510. The upper surface of the flow guide plate 510 is the side of the flow guide plate 510 facing the camera module 200, and the lower surface of the flow guide plate 510 is the side of the flow guide plate 510 facing the light transmissive member 100.

[0091] In a certain embodiment, referring to Figure 11 、 Figure 12 、Figure 13 and Figure 15 As shown in Figure 15 , the flow guide plate 510 is parallel to the light transmissive member 100.

[0092] In this embodiment, since the flow guide plate 510 is parallel to the light transmissive member 100, the air flow can uniformly pass between the flow guide plate 510 and the light transmissive member 100, thereby improving the heat dissipation effect on the light transmissive member 100.

[0093] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 14 and Figure 15 As shown in Figure 15 , the camera module 200 includes a circuit board 220 and a camera 210 disposed on the circuit board 220. The camera 210 faces the light transmissive member 100. An installation hole 513 is provided on the flow guide plate 510, and the flow guide plate 510 is sleeved on the camera 210 through the installation hole 513.

[0094] In this embodiment, the flow guide plate 510 is sleeved on the camera 210 through the installation hole 513, that is, the circumferential side of the camera 210 is provided with the flow guide plate 510, which increases the area of the camera 210 blown by the air flow, thereby improving the cooling effect on the camera 210.

[0095] In a possible implementation manner, referring to Figure 15 As shown in Figure 15 , the circuit board 220 is parallel to the flow guide plate 510, and the circuit board 220 is parallel to the flow guide plate 510, so that at least part of the air flow blown by the heat dissipation fan 300 blows to the side of the circuit board 220 facing away from the flow guide plate 510 and the side of the circuit board 220 facing the flow guide plate 510.

[0096] In this embodiment, since part of the air flow blown by the heat dissipation fan 300 blows to the side of the circuit board 220 facing away from the flow guide plate 510 and the side of the circuit board 220 facing the flow guide plate 510, the heat dissipation efficiency of the circuit board 220 is improved.

[0097] It should be noted that, in this embodiment, referring to Figure 15 As shown in Figure 15 , a first heat dissipation air duct 50 is formed between the light transmissive member 100 and the flow guide plate 510, and the air in the first heat dissipation air duct 50 blows to the light transmissive member 100 for cooling.

[0098] A second heat dissipation air duct 60 is formed between the flow guide plate 510 and the circuit board 220, and the air in the second heat dissipation air duct 60 cools the camera module 200 located in the second heat dissipation air duct 60.

[0099] A third heat dissipation air duct 70 is formed above the circuit board 220, and the third heat dissipation air duct 70 cools the upper surface of the circuit board 220.

[0100] It should be noted that the mounting sleeve 520 and the deflector 510 are connected to form a seal 500. The mounting sleeve 520 and the deflector 510 can be integrally formed, and the material of the seal 500 can be heat-resistant silica gel.

[0101] In this embodiment, the mounting sleeve 520 plays a role in heat insulation for the camera 210, preventing the surrounding ambient temperature from rising and affecting the camera 210. At the same time, since one end of the mounting sleeve 520 close to the light-transmitting member 100 abuts against the light-transmitting member 100, it can prevent internal dust from entering the camera 210 and affecting the shooting effect.

[0102] In other possible embodiments, refer to Figure 15 As shown, the projection of the deflector 510 towards the light-transmitting member 100 is located within the light-transmitting member 100.

[0103] In this embodiment, since the projection of the deflector 510 towards the light-transmitting member 100 is located within the light-transmitting member 100, the airflow above the deflector 510 will flow from the periphery of the deflector 510 to the light-transmitting member 100, further improving the heat dissipation effect on the light-transmitting member 100.

[0104] The second aspect of the embodiments of the present application provides a cooking device, including a main body, and further including the camera module structure of the cooking device in any of the above embodiments. The camera module structure of the cooking device is provided on the main body.

[0105] Since the camera module structure of the cooking device of the present application is provided on the main body of the cooking device, the camera module structure of the cooking device includes a light-transmitting member 100, a camera module 200, a cooling fan 300, a housing 400, a mounting sleeve 520, and a diversion mechanism 600; the light-transmitting member 100 is provided on the cooking inner pot 20 of the cooking device for the camera module 200 to photograph the food in the cooking inner pot 20, the housing 400 is provided on the outer wall of the cooking inner pot 20, the camera module 200 and the cooling fan 300 are both provided on the housing 400, and the camera 210 of the camera module 200 is partially located outside the housing 400 and is opposite to the light-transmitting member 100; the mounting sleeve 520 is sleeved on the camera 210 located outside the housing 400, the diversion mechanism 600 is provided on the mounting sleeve 520, and both the diversion mechanism 600 and the light-transmitting member 100 are located on the flow path of the cooling air flow blown by the cooling fan 300. The diversion mechanism 600 is used to divert at least part of the air blown by the cooling fan 300 from the middle of the light-transmitting member 100 to the periphery of the light-transmitting member 100 through the surface of the light-transmitting member 100 to cool the light-transmitting member 100.

[0106] Since the cooking device provided by the present application is provided with a diversion mechanism 600 between the cooling fan 300 and the light-transmitting member 100, the diversion mechanism 600 diverts at least part of the air blown out by the cooling fan 300 from the middle of the light-transmitting member 100 to the periphery of the light-transmitting member 100 through the surface of the light-transmitting member 100 to cool the light-transmitting member 100, so that the air blown out by the cooling fan 300 covers the light-transmitting member 100 more evenly, thereby increasing the area of the light-transmitting member 100 blown by the wind, and further improving the heat dissipation effect on the light-transmitting member 100, so as to avoid the temperature of the light-transmitting member 100 being too high, and further improving the service life of the camera 210.

[0107] In a possible embodiment, the main body includes a mounting shell 10 and a cooking inner pot 20 disposed in the mounting shell 10. A shooting window 21 is provided on the cooking inner pot 20. The light-transmitting member 100 of the camera module structure of the cooking device is disposed on the shooting window 21, and the housing 400 of the camera module structure of the cooking device is disposed on the outer wall of the cooking inner pot 20. The shooting window 21 is located at the angle between the top wall and the side wall of the cooking inner pot 20.

[0108] In this embodiment, since the shooting window 21 is located at the angle between the top wall and the side wall of the cooking inner pot 20, the shooting range of the cooking inner pot 20 by the camera 210 is increased, the wide-angle view of the camera and the 3D effect during shooting are improved, so that the content shot is richer, and the shot videos and photos have a better 3D effect.
