Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of cooking appliances, and more particularly to a cooking appliance. Background Art

[0002] Currently, conventional grills cook food by using upper and lower double baking trays. For some relatively thin foods, they do not come into contact with the upper baking tray during the cooking process. The upper baking tray can only heat the upper surface of the food in the form of thermal radiation, resulting in the surface of the food not being crispy enough. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The present invention aims to at least solve or improve the technical problem in the prior art that cooking appliances can only cook food ingredients through baking trays and cannot adopt different cooking methods for different ingredients.

[0004] To this end, some embodiments of the present invention propose a cooking appliance.

[0005] In view of this, according to some embodiments of the present invention, a cooking appliance is proposed, including: a first base; a first heating element disposed on the first base; a first baking tray detachably disposed on the first base, with the first heating element located on one side of the first baking tray when the first baking tray is mounted on the first base; a main body, which is cooperatively and openably / closably connected to the first base; wherein, when the cooking appliance is in the first cooking mode, the first baking tray is mounted on the first base, and when the cooking appliance is in the second cooking mode, the first baking tray is separated from the first base.

[0006] The cooking appliance proposed by the present invention includes a first base, a first heating element, a first baking tray and a main body. The first heating element is disposed on the first base, and the first baking tray is detachably cooperated with the first base. When the first baking tray is mounted on the first base, the first heating element is located between the first baking tray and the first base, and the main body is cooperatively and openably / closably connected to the first base. Thus, when the first base and the main body are closed, a cooking space can be formed, and the cooking of food ingredients can be realized by using the cooking space.

[0007] When the cooking appliance is in the first cooking mode, the first baking tray is mounted on the first base, and food ingredients are cooked by using the first baking tray. That is, the heat generated by the first heating element acts on the first baking tray, causing the first baking tray to heat up and achieving the cooking effect on the food ingredients. In this state, since the heat of the first heating element acts on the first baking tray, the temperature of the first baking tray acting on the food ingredients will be lower than the temperature of the first heating element. Therefore, for relatively thick food ingredients, the first baking tray is made to fit closely with the food ingredients, so that the food ingredients are evenly heated and the crispness of the surface of the food ingredients can be improved, thereby enhancing the cooking effect of the cooking appliance.

[0008] When the cooking appliance is in the second cooking mode, the first baking tray is separated from the first base body, and the heat generated by the first heating element directly acts on the food. In this state, since the heat of the first heating element directly acts on the food, the cooking temperature of the food can be increased. Therefore, for relatively thin food, even if the first heating element is separated from the food, the cooking effect on the food can be ensured, and the crispness of the surface of the food can also be improved. Moreover, since the first heating element is separated from the food, the uniformity of the heat received by the food can also be ensured.

[0009] In addition, the cooking appliance according to the above technical solution provided by the present invention may further have the following additional technical features:

[0010] In some embodiments, optionally, it further includes: a detection component, disposed on the first base body or the main body, for detecting whether the first baking tray is installed on the first base body.

[0011] In this embodiment, the cooking appliance further includes a detection component. The detection component is disposed in the first base body and the main body. The detection component can detect whether the first baking tray is installed on the first base body, so that the cooking appliance can work in a corresponding cooking mode. For example: when the detection component detects that the first tray is installed on the first base body, it is determined that the cooking appliance works in the first cooking mode; when the detection component detects that the first tray is not installed on the first base body, it is determined that the cooking appliance works in the second cooking mode.

[0012] In some embodiments, optionally, the detection component includes: a first conductive member, fixed on the first base body; a second conductive member, movable relative to the first conductive member; wherein, when the first baking tray is installed on the first base body, the first conductive member and the second conductive member are in an open circuit state, and when the first baking tray is separated from the first base body, the first conductive member and the second conductive member are in a conductive state.

[0013] In this embodiment, the detection component includes a first conductive member and a second conductive member. The first conductive member is fixed on the first base body, and the second conductive member is movable relative to the first base body. When the first baking tray is installed on the first base body, the second conductive member is in a first position. In this state, the first conductive member and the second conductive member are separated, so that the first conductive member and the second conductive member are in an open circuit state. The detection component can feedback this state to the controller of the cooking appliance for the controller to control the cooking appliance to operate in a manner corresponding to the first cooking mode.

[0014] When the first baking tray is not installed on the first body, the second conductive member is in the second position. In this state, the first conductive member and the second conductive member are in contact with each other, so that the first conductive member and the second conductive member are in a conducting state. The detection component can feedback this state to the controller of the cooking appliance for the controller to control the cooking appliance to operate in the manner corresponding to the second cooking mode.

[0015] Thus, it is determined whether the first baking tray is installed on the first body through the detection component, ensuring that the cooking appliance can adopt different operating modes for different states and improving the cooking effect of the cooking appliance.

[0016] In some embodiments, optionally, it further includes: a temperature detection component movably arranged on the first body, and the second conductive member is arranged on the temperature detection component. When the first baking tray is installed on the first body, the temperature detection component abuts against the first baking tray.

[0017] In this embodiment, the cooking appliance further includes a temperature detection component arranged on the first body, so that the temperature of the cooking appliance during cooking can be detected through the temperature detection component to ensure the cooking effect of the cooking appliance on the food ingredients.

[0018] Moreover, the temperature detection component is movable relative to the first body, and the second conductive member is arranged on the temperature detection component. When the first baking tray is installed on the first body, the temperature detection component abuts against the first baking tray and presses the temperature detection component to the third position. In this state, the second conductive member is in the first position, causing the second conductive member and the first conductive member to be separated from each other.

[0019] Among them, the temperature detection component abuts against the first baking tray, and it can detect the temperature of the first baking tray. Since the first baking tray can be in contact with the food ingredients, it can be regarded as the temperature of the cooking space.

[0020] When the first baking tray is not installed on the first body, the temperature detection component is in the fourth position. In this state, the second conductive member is in the first position, causing the second conductive member and the first conductive member to be in contact with each other.

[0021] In some embodiments, optionally, the temperature detection component includes: a sensor, and the cooking appliance further includes a mounting seat, and the sensor passes through the mounting seat; an elastic member arranged on the sensor and abutting against the mounting seat; wherein, the first conductive member is arranged on the mounting seat, and the second conductive member is arranged on the sensor.

[0022] In this embodiment, the temperature detection component includes a sensor and an elastic member. The first body includes a mounting seat. The sensor passes through the mounting seat, and the elastic member is arranged on the sensor and abuts against the mounting seat.

[0023] Wherein, the first conductive member is arranged on the mounting seat, and the second conductive member is arranged on the sensor.

[0024] When the first baking tray is installed on the first seat, the first baking tray and the sensor are against each other, the elastic member is compressed, and the sensor drives the second conductive member to move, so that the second conductive member is in the first position, thereby separating the first conductive member and the second conductive member.

[0025] When the first baking tray is not installed on the first base, the elastic member extends, and the sensor drives the second conductive member to move, so that the second conductive member is in the second position, thereby making the first conductive member and the second conductive member in contact with each other.

[0026] In some embodiments, optionally, a groove is provided on a side of the first baking tray facing the first heating element, and the first heating element is embedded in the groove.

[0027] In this embodiment, a groove is provided on the side of the first baking tray facing the first heating element. After the first baking tray is installed on the first base, the first heating element is embedded in the groove, thereby improving the heat exchange efficiency between the first baking tray and the first heating element and improving the cooking effect of the cooking utensil.

[0028] In some embodiments, optionally, it further includes: a first reflecting element, disposed between the first heating element and the first base.

[0029] In this embodiment, the cooking utensil also includes a first reflector, which is arranged between the first heating element and the first seat body, so that the heat radiated from the first heating element to the first seat body can be first reflected to the first plate body or the cooking space, thereby reducing heat loss, improving the cooking effect of the cooking utensil, and reducing the influence of the heat of the first heating element on the components inside the first seat body.

[0030] In some embodiments, optionally, it also includes: a second reflective element, which is arranged on the side of the first heating element away from the first base body, the first heating element is a tubular structure, and the second reflective element and the first heating element are arranged correspondingly; wherein the second reflective element includes a reflective groove, the reflective groove and the first heating element are arranged opposite to each other, and the reflective groove is a curved structure or a bent structure.

[0031] In this embodiment, the cooking appliance further includes a second reflector disposed on the side of the first heating element facing the main body. Herein, the first heating element is a tubular structure, that is, the first heating element is a heating tube. The second reflector and the first heating element are disposed opposite to each other. The second reflector includes a reflection groove, and the reflection groove is disposed opposite to the first heating element. The bottom of the reflection groove is a curved surface structure or a bent structure. Thus, the heat radiated by the first heating element toward the cooking space side is reflected by the reflection groove to the first reflector, and the first reflector reflects the heat of the first heating element and the heat reflected by the second reflector to the first baking tray or the cooking cavity, so that the temperature in the cooking space is more uniform, improving the cooking effect of the cooking appliance. Moreover, the reflection groove with a curved surface structure or a bent structure can cause the heat to form a diffuse reflection in the cooking space, so that the temperature in the cooking space is more uniform, improving the cooking effect of the cooking appliance.

[0032] In some embodiments, optionally, the diameter of the reflection groove with a curved surface structure is greater than or equal to 5 mm and less than or equal to 30 mm; or the angle formed by the reflection groove with a bent structure is greater than or equal to 60 degrees and less than or equal to 180 degrees.

[0033] In this embodiment, the diameter of the reflection groove with a curved surface structure is greater than or equal to 5 mm and less than or equal to 30 mm to ensure the reflection effect of the reflection groove, and effectively reduce the volume of the second reflector and the volume of the cooking appliance.

[0034] Or the angle formed by the reflection groove with a bent structure is greater than or equal to 60 degrees and less than or equal to 180 degrees to ensure the reflection effect of the second reflector, and effectively reduce the volume of the second reflector and the volume of the cooking appliance.

[0035] In some embodiments, optionally, the first baking tray includes a first exhaust port, and the first reflector includes a second exhaust port, and the first exhaust port and the second exhaust port are opposite to each other.

[0036] In this embodiment, the first baking tray includes a first exhaust port, and the first reflector includes a second exhaust port. When the first baking tray is installed on the first seat body, the first exhaust port and the second exhaust port are opposite to each other, so as to discharge the water vapor in the cooking space through the first exhaust port and the second exhaust port, improving the cooking effect.

[0037] In some embodiments, optionally, it further includes: a connecting member disposed on the first seat body, and the first reflector is disposed on the connecting member, and the first reflector and the first seat body are spaced apart.

[0038] In this embodiment, the cooking appliance further includes a connecting member disposed on the first base body, and the first reflecting member is disposed on the connecting member, so that the first reflecting member is separated from the first base body, reducing the influence of the heat of the first reflecting member on the first base body and the influence of the first reflecting member on the internal components of the first base body, and ensuring the safety of the cooking appliance.

[0039] In some embodiments, optionally, the first base body includes: a first housing including ribbing; a heat insulation member disposed on the first housing, the heat insulation member being disposed on a side of the first housing facing the first heating member, and the ribbing dividing the space between the first housing and the heat insulation member into an air duct; and a blower disposed in the air duct.

[0040] In this embodiment, the first base body includes a first housing, a heat insulation member, and a blower. The heat insulation member is disposed on a side of the first housing facing the first heating member, and the blower is disposed between the first housing and the heat insulation member. Ribbing is provided inside the first housing, and the ribbing divides the space between the first housing and the heat insulation member into an air duct. The blower is disposed in the air duct, and thus heat dissipation of the first base body is achieved through the blower, preventing the temperature inside the first base body from being too high and enhancing the safety of the cooking appliance.

[0041] In some embodiments, optionally, when the cooking appliance is operating, when the first baking tray is mounted on the first base body, the first heating member heats the first baking tray, and when the first baking tray is not mounted on the first base body, the first heating member heats the cooking space between the main body and the first base body.

[0042] In this embodiment, when the cooking appliance is operating, if the first baking tray is mounted on the first base body, the first heating member heats the first baking tray, and the first baking tray radiates heat to the cooking space between the main body and the first baking tray.

[0043] When the cooking appliance is operating, if the first baking tray is not mounted on the first base body, the first heating member directly heats the cooking space between the main body and the first base body.

[0044] In some embodiments, optionally, when the cooking appliance is in the first cooking mode, the first base body and the main body are in a closed state or an open state; when the cooking appliance is in the second cooking mode, the first base body and the main body are in a closed state.

[0045] In this embodiment, when the cooking appliance is in the first cooking mode, the first housing and the main body can be in a closed state, or the first housing and the main body can be in an open state. That is, when the first baking tray is installed on the cover, the cooking appliance can heat the food ingredients only with the second heating element in the main body, or heat the food ingredients jointly with the second heating element and the first heating element in the main body. When the cooking appliance is in the second cooking mode, the first housing and the main body are in a closed state. That is, when the first baking tray is not installed on the cover, the food ingredients are heated jointly with the second heating element and the first heating element in the main body.

[0046] In some embodiments, optionally, the main body includes: a second housing, which is cooperatively and openably / closably engaged with the first housing; a second heating element, which is disposed on the second housing; a second baking tray, which is disposed on the second housing, and the second heating element is located between the second housing and the second baking tray; wherein, when the cooking appliance is in the first cooking mode or the second cooking mode, both the first heating element and the second heating element are in a heating state.

[0047] In this embodiment, the main body includes a second housing, a second heating element, and a second baking tray. The second heating element is disposed between the second baking tray and the second housing, and the second housing is cooperatively and openably / closably engaged with the first housing.

[0048] When the first housing and the second housing are closed, if the first baking tray is installed on the first housing, the first baking tray and the second baking tray form a cooking space. If the first baking tray is not installed on the first housing, a cooking space is formed between the second baking tray and the first housing.

[0049] In some embodiments, optionally, the depth of the first baking tray is less than the depth of the second baking tray.

[0050] In this embodiment, the depth of the second baking tray is greater than the depth of the first baking tray, thereby ensuring the baking effect of the first heating element on the food ingredients when the first baking tray is not installed on the cover.

Detailed embodiments

[0075] In order to more clearly understand the above objects, features and advantages of the present invention, the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the drawings and specific embodiments. It should be noted that, without conflict, the embodiments of the present invention and the features in the embodiments can be combined with each other.

[0076] In the following description, many specific details are set forth in order to fully understand the present invention. However, the present invention can also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein. Therefore, the protection scope of the present invention is not limited by the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0077] Next, refer to Figures 1 to 20 to describe the cooking appliance 100 according to some embodiments of the present invention.

[0078] As Figure 1 and Figure 4As shown, according to some embodiments of the present invention, the present invention provides a cooking appliance 100, including: a first base 110; a first heating element 130 disposed on the first base 110; a first baking tray 140 detachably disposed on the first base 110, and when the first baking tray 140 is mounted on the first base 110, the first heating element 130 is located on one side of the first baking tray 140; a main body 150, which is operably connected to the first base 110 in an openable and closable manner; wherein, when the cooking appliance 100 is in the first cooking mode, the first baking tray 140 is mounted on the first base 110, and when the cooking appliance 100 is in the second cooking mode, the first baking tray 140 is separated from the first base 110.

[0079] The cooking appliance 100 provided by the present invention includes a first base 110, a first heating element 130, a first baking tray 140 and a main body 150. The first heating element 130 is disposed on the first base 110. The first baking tray 140 is detachably engaged with the first base 110. When the first baking tray 140 is mounted on the first base 110, the first heating element 130 is located between the first baking tray 140 and the first base 110. The main body 150 is operably connected to the first base in an openable and closable manner. Thus, when the first base 110 and the main body 150 are closed, a cooking space 250 can be formed, and the cooking of food materials can be realized by using the cooking space 250.

[0080] As Figure 2 and Figure 3 shown, when the cooking appliance 100 is in the first cooking mode, the first baking tray 140 is mounted on the first base 110, and food materials are cooked by using the first baking tray 140. That is, the heat generated by the first heating element 130 acts on the first baking tray 140 to raise the temperature of the first baking tray 140, achieving the cooking effect on the food materials. In this state, since the heat of the first heating element 130 acts on the first baking tray 140, the temperature at which the first baking tray 140 acts on the food materials is lower than the temperature of the first heating element 130. Therefore, for relatively thick food materials, the first baking tray 140 is made to fit closely with the food materials, so that the food materials are heated evenly and the crispness of the surface of the food materials can be improved, thereby enhancing the cooking effect of the cooking appliance 100.

[0081] As Figure 10 、 Figure 11 and Figure 12As shown, when the cooking appliance 100 is in the second cooking mode, the first baking tray 140 is separated from the first base 110, and the heat generated by the first heating element 130 directly acts on the food. In this state, since the heat of the first heating element 130 directly acts on the food, the cooking temperature of the food can be increased. Therefore, for relatively thin food, even if the first heating element 130 is separated from the food, the cooking effect on the food can be ensured, and the crispness of the surface of the food can also be improved. Moreover, since the first heating element 130 is separated from the food, the uniformity of heat reception of the food can also be ensured.

[0082] Among them, the first cooking mode can be grilling, and the second cooking mode can be baking.

[0083] Specifically, the cooking appliance 100 can be a griddle or an electric griddle, etc.

[0084] For the cooking appliance 100 provided by the present invention, the first baking tray 140 is detachable, and after being detached, the first heating element 130 can be independently heated. When the first baking tray 140 is removed, the first heating element 130 heats the upper surface of the food by means of thermal radiation, so that a relatively high temperature can be reached in the cooking space 250. When the first baking tray 140 is installed, the first heating element 130 heats the first baking tray 140 by means of heat conduction, and the first baking tray 140 then grills the food.

[0085] As Figure 2 and Figure 4 shown, in some embodiments, optionally, it further includes: a detection component 160, which is arranged on the first base 110 or the main body 150 and is used to detect whether the first baking tray 140 is installed on the first base 110.

[0086] In this embodiment, the cooking appliance 100 further includes a detection component 160. The detection component 160 is arranged in the first base 110 and the main body 150. The detection component 160 can detect whether the first baking tray 140 is installed on the first base 110, so that the cooking appliance 100 can work in a corresponding cooking mode. For example: when the detection component 160 detects that the first tray is installed on the first base 110, it is determined that the cooking appliance 100 works in the first cooking mode; when the detection component 160 detects that the first tray is not installed on the first base 110, it is determined that the cooking appliance 100 works in the second cooking mode.

[0087] As Figure 5 、 Figure 6 、 Figure 7 and Figure 8As shown, in some embodiments, optionally, the detection component 160 includes: a first conductive member 162 fixed to the first base 110; a second conductive member 164 movable relative to the first conductive member 162; wherein, when the first baking tray 140 is mounted on the first base 110, the first conductive member 162 and the second conductive member 164 are in an open circuit state, and when the first baking tray 140 is separated from the first base 110, the first conductive member 162 and the second conductive member 164 are in a conductive state.

[0088] In this embodiment, the detection component 160 includes a first conductive member 162 and a second conductive member 164. The first conductive member 162 is fixed to the first base 110, and the second conductive member 164 is movable relative to the first base 110. When the first baking tray 140 is mounted on the first base 110, the second conductive member 164 is in a first position. In this state, the first conductive member 162 and the second conductive member 164 are separated, so that the first conductive member 162 and the second conductive member 164 are in an open circuit state. The detection component 160 can feedback this state to the controller of the cooking appliance 100 for the controller to control the cooking appliance 100 to operate in a manner corresponding to the first cooking mode.

[0089] When the first baking tray 140 is not mounted on the first base 110, the second conductive member 164 is in a second position. In this state, the first conductive member 162 and the second conductive member 164 are in contact, so that the first conductive member 162 and the second conductive member 164 are in a conductive state. The detection component 160 can feedback this state to the controller of the cooking appliance 100 for the controller to control the cooking appliance 100 to operate in a manner corresponding to the second cooking mode.

[0090] Thus, it is determined whether the first baking tray 140 is mounted on the first base 110 through the detection component 160, ensuring that the cooking appliance 100 can adopt different operating modes for different states and improving the cooking effect of the cooking appliance 100.

[0094] Wherein, the temperature detection component 170 abuts against the first baking tray 140, and it can detect the temperature of the first baking tray 140. Since the first baking tray 140 can be in contact with the food ingredients, it can be regarded as the temperature of the cooking space 250.

[0095] When the first baking tray 140 is not mounted on the first base 110, the temperature detection component 170 is in the fourth position. In this state, the second conductive member 164 is in the first position, so that the second conductive member 164 is in contact with the first conductive member 162.

[0100] As Figure 5 and Figure 6 shown, when the first baking tray 140 is installed on the first base 110, the first baking tray 140 abuts against the sensor 172, the elastic member 174 is compressed, the sensor 172 drives the second conductive member 164 to move, so that the second conductive member 164 is in the first position, thereby making the first conductive member 162 and the second conductive member 164 separated from each other.

[0101] As Figure 7 and Figure 8 shown, when the first baking tray 140 is not installed on the first base 110, the elastic member 174 extends, the sensor 172 drives the second conductive member 164 to move, so that the second conductive member 164 is in the second position, thereby making the first conductive member 162 and the second conductive member 164 in contact with each other.

When the first baking tray 140 is assembled, the first conductive member 162 and the second conductive member 164 are not connected, and it is determined as the state without the first baking tray 140. At this time, the sensor 172 can use the temperature of the first baking tray 140 as the temperature of the cooking space 250. When the first baking tray 140 is removed, the first conductive member 162 and the second conductive member 164 are connected, and it is determined as the state with the first baking tray 140.
