Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the technical field of kitchen electrical appliances, and particularly to a cooking device. Background Art
[0002] Cooking devices in kitchen electrical appliances are mainly used for specific forms of cooking ingredients such as steaming, roasting, smoking, frying, etc. For example, the cooking principle of steaming is to continuously supply high-temperature steam to the inner container where the ingredients to be cooked are located, and thus the cooking of the ingredients can be completed by pure steaming. The working principle of roasting is to use a circulating hot air flow to cook the ingredients by continuously supplying a circulating hot air flow to the inner container where the ingredients to be cooked are located, and thus the cooking of the ingredients is completed by hot air roasting. The working principle of smoking and roasting is to complete the cooking of the ingredients by continuously supplying a cooking medium generated based on smoking to the inner container where the ingredients to be cooked are located. For example, the food made by smoking and roasting will have different flavors according to different smoking materials (smoking agents).
[0003] Taking the cooking of ingredients by the cooking method of smoking and roasting as an example, currently it is mainly realized by two types of devices. One type is devices with independent functions such as smoking and roasting ovens. Such devices usually require a relatively large volume, such as being commonly used in outdoor environments and other scenarios. The other type is a smoking and roasting mechanism integrated into an existing cooking device (or on the frame of the cooking device). However, the smoking and roasting mechanism is usually fixedly arranged at a certain part of the cooking device. In this way, due to the constraints of the structure and / or function of the cooking device itself, there is still a certain room for improvement in the use performance of the mechanism, such as including but not limited to: there is a certain difficulty in realizing the functions of the mechanism in a fixed pose, the operation flexibility of the mechanism needs to be further improved, and there is a certain design space for the difference in the pose of the mechanism in the operating state and the non-operating state (the difference design here should at least have certain technical effects). Summary of the Invention
[0004] In order to solve at least a part of the above technical problems and / or at least to a certain extent solve the above technical problems, this application is proposed.
[0005] In view of this, this application provides a cooking device, which includes: a cooking main body, which forms an accommodation space; and a smoking and roasting mechanism, which includes a feeding component and a smoking and roasting module. The feeding component has at least one smoking agent storage cavity. The feeding component can be movably arranged on the cooking main body and is in a first position and a second position relative to the accommodation space. Wherein, in the case where the feeding component is in the first position, it is allowed to take out the smoking agent from the smoking agent storage cavity; and / or in the case where the feeding component is in the second position, at least a part of the feeding component is accommodated in the accommodation space, and the smoking agent in the smoking agent storage cavity can be put into the smoking and roasting module.
[0006] With such a configuration, it is possible to seek to differentiate the posture of taking the smoking material in the smoking material holding cavity (corresponding to the first position) and the posture of the smoking material in the smoking material holding cavity (which may include, but is not limited to, block structures, strip structures, powder structures, etc.) that can be put into the smoking and roasting module (corresponding to the second position), so as to improve the use performance of the smoking and roasting mechanism. For example, by adjusting the taking posture corresponding to the first position, it is expected to improve the operation experience of the smoking and roasting mechanism, and by adjusting the feeding posture corresponding to the second position, it is expected to ensure the cooking quality of the food by the smoking and roasting mechanism.
[0007] It can be understood that those skilled in the art can determine the specific orientation of the first position and the second position relative to the cooking device, the switching method of the feeding component between the first position and the second position, the manner in which the feeding component puts the smoking material into the smoking and roasting module, the structural form / smoke generation method of the smoking and roasting module, etc. according to actual needs.
[0008] Among them, for the specific orientation of the first position and the second position relative to the cooking device, when the feeding component is in the first / second position, it can be entirely or partially outside or inside the contour size of the cooking device. Exemplarily, when the feeding component is in the second position, a part of it is located outside the contour size of the cooking device and a part of it is located inside the contour size of the cooking device. Also, the first / second position of the feeding component can be in any orientation relative to the cooking device. Exemplarily, it can be located at the top, side, back, or the area where the top and side meet (the area near the ridge line or the position near the corner) of the cooking device.
[0009] Among them, for the switching method of the feeding component between the first position and the second position, those skilled in the art can determine what kind of (one or several) motion switching to adopt and what kind of mechanism to use to achieve the corresponding motion according to actual needs. For example, it can be achieved by one or several of rotation, lifting motion, sliding, etc. Taking sliding as an example, it can be achieved by any reasonable method such as a slide rail, a lead screw and nut mechanism, a gear and rack mechanism, etc. Among them, the realization of sliding can be achieved manually or automatically by means of a driving part, etc.
[0010] Among them, for the manner in which the feeding component puts the smoking material into the smoking and roasting module, for example, it can be directly dropped through a structure with a height difference (such as a ramp, a pipeline, etc.), or the smoking material can be made to move in a spiral / horizontal motion or other any feasible conveying path. Exemplarily, it is achieved by the combination of a first path and a second path. Exemplarily, it is achieved by the combination of a first path and a second path. For a conveying path that requires a transmission mechanism to be configured, those skilled in the art can select any reasonable transmission mechanism according to actual needs.
[0011] Among them, for the structural form / smoke generation method of the smoking module, in the case where it is possible to emit smoke as a cooking medium into the cooking chamber, those skilled in the art can adopt any reasonable smoking module. For example, the structure for making the smoking material emit smoke, the temperature / speed of smoke generation, the orientation of smoke generation, etc. can all be selected according to actual needs and are not limited herein.
[0012] For the above cooking device, in a possible implementation manner, the cooking main body includes a box body and an inner container, and the accommodation space is formed between the box body and the inner container at a position close to the top.
[0013] With such a configuration, a possible configuration manner of the accommodation space is given.
[0014] It can be understood that those skilled in the art can determine the structural form of the accommodation space and its relationship with the feeding component in the case of satisfying the accommodation state according to actual needs. For example, the accommodation space can be only used to accommodate the feeding component or can also accommodate other structures / components at the same time. In the case of accommodating the feeding component, it can be a just (basically) adapted accommodation manner or an accommodation manner with a margin.
[0015] It should be noted that the composition of the accommodation space usually includes walls, and the walls can be the box body / inner container or additional structures provided. Exemplarily, intermediate structures such as covers, plates, and frames are provided between the box body and the inner container, and the intermediate structure itself forms an accommodation space or the intermediate structure and the box body / inner container form an accommodation space.
[0016] For the above cooking device, in a possible implementation manner, the cooking main body has a second installation position. In the case where the feeding component is in the second position, the feeding component is arranged at the second installation position, and in the case where the feeding component is arranged at the second installation position, the feeding component is completely accommodated in the accommodation space.
[0017] With such a configuration, in the state where feeding is possible, the feeding component is in a state of being completely accommodated in the accommodation space relative to the cooking device. For example, in the case of being completely accommodated in the preset accommodation space, the feeding component is in a relatively stable (with fewer interference factors) position, and in this way, the reliability of the feeding operation can be ensured.
[0018] For the above cooking device, in a possible implementation manner, at least a part of the feeding component is arranged at the second installation position in a movable manner so that: based on this movement, the feeding component can be adjusted to be in different positions and / or postures at the second installation position.
[0019] With such a configuration, it is possible to further ensure the reliability of the feeding operation. For example, the position and / or attitude of the feeding component can be adjusted according to the type, remaining amount, and amount to be fed of the smoking material. For example, it may include but is not limited to: in the case where the amount of the smoking material is small, tilting the feeding component by a certain angle relative to the horizontal plane; the cooking main body has multiple feeding ports at the position corresponding to the second installation position, and the feeding component can be moved to different feeding ports to achieve feeding (for example, different types of smoking materials correspond to different feeding ports; when the feeding component switches from the first position to the second position, there are multiple relative positions of the feeding component to the second installation position. After adjusting their relative positions to a preset state, the feeding operation of the smoking material can be achieved).
[0020] It can be understood that those skilled in the art can determine the specific form, number, the number of positions and / or attitudes that the feeding component can be in on the second installation position, and the specific position and / or attitude, etc. according to actual needs.
[0021] In addition, those skilled in the art can determine the movement mode when the feeding component switches between different positions and / or attitudes and the mechanism by which the corresponding movement is achieved according to actual needs. For example, it can be achieved by sliding, rotating, etc. Taking rotation as an example, it can be achieved by means of mechanisms such as a gear pair, direct drive by a motor, and any reasonable rotation module.
[0022] For the above cooking device, in a possible implementation manner, the cooking main body has a first installation position, and when the feeding component is in the first position, the feeding component is arranged at the first installation position.
[0023] With such a configuration, the feeding component still has a connection relationship with the cooking device in the taking state, so it is possible to ensure the configuration stability of the smoking mechanism including the feeding component on the cooking device.
[0024] Similar to the aforementioned second installation position, those skilled in the art can determine the specific form, number, the number of positions and / or attitudes that the feeding component can be in on the first installation position, and the specific position and / or attitude, etc. according to actual needs.
[0025] For the above cooking device, in a possible implementation manner, when the feeding component is in the first position, at least a part of the feeding component is not in the accommodation space.
[0026] With such a configuration, it is possible to facilitate the user's picking operation. Specifically, in a state where feeding is possible, at least a part of the feeding component is exposed outside the accommodation space (from the perspective of physical space, at least a part of the feeding component extends out of the accommodation space). For example, the way that at least a part of the feeding component is not in the accommodation space can include partial non-accommodation, complete non-accommodation, etc. Exemplarily, the feeding component can be pulled out from the accommodation space (but not detached).
[0027] For the above cooking device, in a possible implementation manner, the feeding component can be detached from the cooking main body, and thus the feeding component is in the first position.
[0028] With such a configuration, it is possible to more flexibly achieve the picking operation.
[0029] Still taking the example that the above-mentioned feeding component can be pulled out from the accommodation space in a pulling manner, for example, in the case where the feeding component is completely pulled out and detached from the cooking main body, feeding can be performed outside the cooking device. In such a case, since the feeding component is detached from the cooking main body, the range of the first position is relatively wide. For example, the feeding operation can be completed at any reasonable external position.
[0030] For the above cooking device, in a possible implementation manner, the cooking device is configured with a plurality of feeding components, and any one of the plurality of feeding components can be set at the second position of the cooking main body.
[0031] With such a configuration, it is possible to more conveniently achieve the feeding operation. For example, the feeding component with the smoked material added in advance can be directly installed on the cooking main body to improve efficiency. Different feeding components can also be set for different types of smoked materials. In this way, it is possible to cook the food in a more diverse manner through the smoking mechanism. Exemplarily, different feeding components are used for strip-shaped smoked materials and powdery smoked materials.
[0032] For the above cooking device, in a possible implementation manner, the cooking main body has an avoidance space or can form an avoidance space, wherein the avoidance space allows the feeding component to switch between the first position and the second position.
[0033] With such a configuration, it is possible to ensure the feasibility of the switching operation. Specifically, the avoidance space allows the feeding component to switch between the first position and the second position.
[0034] The "cooking main body has an avoidance space" should be understood as: the avoidance space is a static structure continuously possessed by the cooking main body, such as the cooking main body continuously having an open area. The "cooking main body can form an avoidance space" should be understood as: the avoidance space is a dynamic structure generated by the activities of existing or additional structures of the cooking device, that is, it will not form an avoidance space in some postures and can form an avoidance space in some postures. For example, the avoidance space can be formed by the rotation of corresponding structures (such as flipping along the axis, rotating along the circumferential direction of the axis, etc.), telescopic movement (such as telescopic movement along the horizontal, vertical or any other direction, etc.), etc. The avoidance space can be, for example, a hole, a channel, etc. Among them, the formation of the avoidance space can be automatically realized by means of a driving component or can also be realized manually.
[0035] For the above cooking device, in a possible implementation manner, the cooking main body includes a control panel, and the control panel is arranged on the cooking main body in a movable manner so that: the avoidance space is formed by the movement of the control panel.
[0036] With such a configuration, a possible integration method of the feeding component on the cooking main body is given.
[0037] For example, the control panel can move relative to the cooking main body by including but not limited to horizontal / vertical flipping, horizontal pulling, lifting, etc., so that the feeding component can smoothly switch between the first position and the second position.

[0072] The preferred implementation manners of the present application will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Those skilled in the art should understand that these implementation manners are only used to explain the technical principle of the present application and are not intended to limit the protection scope of the present application. For example, although this implementation manner is introduced in combination with an oven, this is not intended to limit the protection scope of the present application. Without departing from the principle of the present application, those skilled in the art can apply the present application to other application scenarios, such as a steam oven and grill combination. In addition, although in this embodiment, it is described in combination with a specific structure of a smoking and roasting module (two stacked units), obviously, those skilled in the art can flexibly select its structure according to actual needs. For example, for this structure, it can be changed to include only one unit or more units, and the air intake and exhaust structures of each unit can be flexibly adjusted. In addition, this structure can also be changed to any structural form of a module that can achieve the function of generating smoke, such as any structural form of a module with basic functions such as containing smoking materials, heating smoking materials, and emitting smoke.
[0073] It should be noted that in the description of the present application, the terms indicating the direction or position relationship, such as "center", "upper", "lower", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "inner", "outer", etc., are based on the direction or position relationship shown in the drawings. This is only for the convenience of description and does not indicate or imply that the device or component must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, so it cannot be understood as a limitation to the present application. In addition, the terms "first", "second", "third" are only used for descriptive purposes and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance. The singular terms "a" and "this" can also include the plural form.
[0074] In addition, it should also be noted that in the description of the present application, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the terms "install", "connect", "couple" should be understood in a broad sense. For example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; 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 communication inside two components. For those skilled in the art, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present application can be understood according to specific situations.
[0075] In addition, to better illustrate the present application, numerous specific details are given in the following specific embodiments. Those skilled in the art should understand that the present application can still be implemented without certain specific details. In some instances, the principles of hot air roasting, smoking, etc., which are well-known to those skilled in the art, are not described in detail to highlight the gist of the present application.
[0076] Exemplarily, the oven is installed in the kitchen in an embedded manner. In a specific example, the oven is installed in the lower cabinet of the kitchen below the cooking range. The present application aims to add a smoking function to the oven. For example, it can also be to add a smoking function to other types of cooking equipment or only propose a cooking equipment with a smoking function. Of course, the oven can also be set at any position.
[0077] Mainly referring to Figures 1 to 6 , in a possible implementation manner, the oven 100 includes a cooking main body 1 and a smoking mechanism 2 provided on the cooking main body 1. Among them, the cooking main body 1 includes a box body 11 and an inner container 12 provided in the box body 11. The inner container 12 forms a cooking chamber 121, and the smoking mechanism 2 can cook the food placed in the cooking chamber 121.
[0078] Exemplarily, a shelf can be provided in the inner container 12, and the food to be cooked can be directly placed on the shelf or placed in a utensil (such as a plate) placed on the shelf. In this example, a standing shelf 122 is provided in the inner container 12, and multiple shelf mounting positions 123 are provided on the standing shelf 122 so that the shelf can be placed at different heights in the inner container 12. Obviously, those skilled in the art can determine the specific form of the shelf mounting position 123 according to actual needs. For example, it can be a support frame, a support column, etc. Obviously, the structure form of a single-layer shelf mounting position 123 can also be adopted.
[0079] In a possible implementation manner, the smoking mechanism 2 mainly includes a feeding component 21, a smoking module 23, an air outlet component 24, and an air inlet component 25. Among them, the feeding component 21 forms a smoking material holding cavity 213 capable of holding smoking materials, and the smoking module 23 is accommodated in the cooking chamber 121. In this way, after the smoking materials in the feeding component 21 are put into the smoking module 23, the smoking module 23 can generate smoke as a cooking medium. Based on this, the food placed in the cooking chamber 121 can be cooked in a smoking or a way including smoking. The air inlet component 25 is mainly used to supply the air (oxygen) required for generating smoke to the cooking chamber 121, and the air outlet component 24 is mainly used to discharge the gas in the cooking chamber 121 to ensure the sustainability of cooking.
[0080] In a possible implementation, the intake module is in communication with the external environment on the one hand and the cooking chamber 121 on the other hand. In this example, the intake module includes an intake passage, the upstream side of the intake passage is docked with the feeding position of the feeding assembly 21, and the downstream side is docked with the feeding position of the smoking module 23. In this way, while the intake module supplies gas to the cooking chamber 121, it also realizes the connection between the feeding assembly 21 and the smoking module 23. Obviously, those skilled in the art can determine the specific structural form, installation position, etc. of the intake module according to actual needs. For example, it can be set at other positions such as the side or back of the cooking main body 1, and the structural form can be a passage, a hole, a valve, etc. In addition, the intake function and the connection function between the feeding assembly 21 and the smoking assembly can be partially integrated or independent of each other. For example, it can be realized by two independent structures, etc. Exemplarily, the smoking mechanism 2 includes a feeding assembly 22, and the feeding assembly 21 can be docked with the smoking module 23 via the feeding assembly 22.
[0081] As in this example, the feeding assembly 22 is generally a pipe structure. Since gas also enters the smoking module 23 via the feeding assembly 22 along with the smoking material from the feeding assembly 21 reaching the upstream side of the feeding assembly 22, the feeding assembly 22 also serves as the intake assembly 25. Obviously, those skilled in the art can also set an intake assembly relatively independent of the feeding assembly 22.
[0082] In a possible implementation, a receiving space 13 is formed between the top plate of the top of the box body 11 and the outer side of the top of the inner tank 12. The feeding assembly 21 can be in a first position 31 and a second position 32 relative to the receiving space 13. Among them, when the feeding assembly 21 is in the first position 31, it is allowed to take the smoking material from the smoking material storage cavity 213. When the feeding assembly 21 is in the second position 32, at least a part of the feeding assembly 21 is received in the receiving space 13, and the smoking material in the smoking material storage cavity 213 can be put into the smoking module 23. In other words, when the feeding assembly 21 is in the first position 31, the placing position of the smoking material storage cavity 213 is relatively user-friendly, so it is convenient for the user to take the smoking material from the smoking material storage cavity 213. When the feeding assembly 21 is in the second position 32, the feeding assembly 21 is in a position where it can feed materials.
[0083] In a possible implementation, the cooking main body 1 includes a control panel 14. In this example, the control panel 14 is arranged on the front side of the accommodation space 13. For example, the control panel 14 can move in a flipping manner so as to open or block the opening side of the accommodation space 13. A switching mechanism such as a slide rail is configured in the accommodation space 13, and thus the feeding component 21 is arranged at a position corresponding to the accommodation space 13 of the cooking main body 1 in a push-pull manner. For example, when the opening side of the accommodation space 13 is opened to form an avoidance space, the feeding component 21 can be pulled out partially or completely from the accommodation space 13, so as to perform a feeding operation on it.
[0084] In a possible implementation, the slide rail is respectively provided with limiting structures at positions close to both ends to define the push-pull range of the feeding component 21. When the feeding component 21 is pulled out to the end, the feeding component 21 is in a first installation position corresponding to the first position 31 relative to the slide rail. It can be considered that: the slide rail and the outer limiting structure construct the first installation position, and the feeding component at this time can be fixedly arranged at the first installation position. At this time, a part of the feeding component 21 is exposed outside the accommodation space 13. When the feeding component 21 is pushed in to the end, the feeding component 21 is in a second installation position 42 corresponding to the second position 32 relative to the slide rail, and at this time the feeding component 21 is completely accommodated in the accommodation space 13.
[0085] Obviously, the push-pull movement realized by the slide rail and the reliable arrival of the first / second installation positions realized by the limiting structure are only exemplary descriptions. Those skilled in the art can determine the specific movement mode of the feeding component 21 during position switching, the mechanism by which the movement is assisted, the specific form of the first / second installation positions and their implementation manners, etc. according to actual requirements.
[0086] In a possible implementation, the feeding component 21 can be separated from the cooking main body 1. In this way, when the feeding component 21 is in the first position 31, due to the lack of relevant constraints, it can be considered that the first installation position is a space or there is no first installation position in this case.
[0087] In a possible implementation, the smoking material storage cavity 213 of the feeding component 21 includes a plurality of storage sub-cavities 2131. For example, the smoking materials can be placed separately in the plurality of storage sub-cavities 2131, so as to avoid the influence on the feeding reliability of the smoking materials caused by centralized stacking. In addition, different types of smoking materials can also be placed in different storage sub-cavities 2131, so as to realize a more flavorful smoking and roasting mode.
[0088] In this example, the fumigant component is generally in a disc-like structure, and the containing sub-chamber 2131 is generally in a fan-shaped structure. Obviously, those skilled in the art can determine the structural form of the fumigant containing chamber 213, the structural form / number of the containing sub-chambers 2131 / and the specific manner in which they form the fumigant containing chamber 213 according to actual needs. For example, the different containing sub-chambers 2131 can be the same or different, the different containing sub-chambers 2131 can be independent of each other or communicate with each other, and the multiple containing sub-chambers 2131 can be evenly or unevenly distributed, etc.
[0089] In a possible implementation manner, the feeding component 21 includes a first feeding part 211 and a second feeding part 212 that are connected in a relatively rotatable manner. The first feeding part 211 and the second feeding part 212 form the containing sub-chamber 2131. In this example, the first feeding part 211 is a fixed part, and the second feeding part 212 is a movable part that is rotatably arranged on the fixed part. The bottom of the fixed part (at other positions except the open area) can form a fuel containing chamber with the movable part. A feeding port 214 is provided on the fixed part. In this example, the feeding port 214 is an open area provided at the bottom of the fixed part corresponding to the position of the feeding port 221. The bottom of the fixed part (at other positions except the open area) can form a fuel containing chamber with the movable part, and the open area can be docked with the upstream side of the feeding component 22. The outer edge of the bottom of the fixed part extends upward to form a flanging, which can play a certain role in blocking materials and guiding rotation.
[0090] In a possible implementation manner, a feeding port 221 is provided on the upstream side of the feeding component 22, and the feeding port 221 can be docked with the feeding port 214 of the feeding component 21. In this example, the feeding port 221 is generally in a funnel structure. The outer edge contour of the top of the funnel is generally the same as that of the feeding port 214, such as also being generally in a fan-shaped structure. To ensure the accuracy of docking, for example, the feeding port 214 can be completely covered within the outer edge of the funnel structure. Obviously, those skilled in the art can determine the structural form of the feeding port 221 and its docking manner with the feeding port 214 according to actual needs. For example, in addition to alignment, the docking manner can also be connection with each other, etc. Taking connection with each other as an example, for example, the upstream side of the feeding component 22 can be directly connected to the feeding port 214 or indirectly connected through an intermediate component such as a pipeline. Exemplarily, a connecting pipeline extends below the feeding port 214, and the upstream side of the feeding component 22 is directly sleeved on the outer wall of the connecting pipeline.
[0091] In a possible implementation, a feeding port 222 is provided on the downstream side of the feeding assembly 22. The feeding port 222 can be docked with the smoking module 23 to deliver the smoking material to the smoking position (smoke collecting chamber) of the smoking module 23. As in this example, a connecting structure 223 is provided at a position corresponding to or near the feeding port 222 of the feeding assembly 22. The feeding assembly 22 is fixed to the cooking main body 1 through the connecting structure 223, such as being directly disposed on the outer wall / inner wall of the inner container 12 or fixed to the relevant structures on the outer wall / inner wall. For example, it can be fixed to the cooking main body 1 by bonding or with the help of fasteners such as screws. The connecting structure 223 can also be other reasonable structural forms such as a connecting seat or a connecting bracket. The feeding port 222 can be located at the position of the inner wall of the cooking chamber 121 or extend into the cooking chamber 121. As in this example, the connecting structure 223 is generally a sheet-like structure extending outward from the outer wall of the pipe, and the sheet-like structure is disposed on the vertical frame 122 fixed to the inner container 12 (the feeding port 222 can extend into the cooking chamber 121).
[0092] In a possible implementation, the feeding port 222 communicates with the smoke collecting chamber of the smoking module 23 inside the cooking chamber 121 via an adapter structure 224. As in this example, the adapter structure 224 can be a groove structure with a slope. Obviously, it can also be a pipe with a slope, a structure configured with a transmission mechanism, etc.
[0093] It can be understood that those skilled in the art can determine the structural form of the fixed part / movable part, the number of components it contains, the implementation method of rotation, etc. according to actual needs. For example, rotation can be achieved through transmission mechanisms such as a rotating shaft and a gear pair.
[0094] As in this example, the movable part includes a base body. The base body forms an annular area. Inside the annular area, a plurality of storage sub-chambers 2131 are separated by a plurality of partition plates distributed circumferentially (the storage sub-chambers 2131 in the non-delivery state are enclosed by the annular area, two adjacent partition plates and the fixed part. The storage sub-chambers 2131 in the delivery state are not blocked by the fixed structure at the bottom but enter the feeding assembly 21 through the feeding port 214). A plurality of storage sub-chambers 2131 and the bottom of the fixed part below enclose a plurality of storage sub-chambers 2131 that are approximately fan-shaped areas. It can be understood that those skilled in the art can determine the structural form, number, distribution method, etc. of the storage sub-chambers 2131 according to actual needs. For example, the structures of the plurality of storage sub-chambers 2131 can be the same or different, and can be evenly or unevenly distributed along the circumference of the annular area. In addition, those skilled in the art can determine the structural form of the movable part and the specific manner in which it cooperates with the fixed part to form a plurality of storage sub-chambers 2131 according to actual needs. For example, the fixed part is a cylindrical structure, and the movable part is rotatably accommodated therein.
[0095] In this way, when the feeding assembly 21 is in the second installation position 42, the movable part is arranged relative to the fixed part in a rotatable manner (such as self-rotation around the axis) at the second installation position 42. Among them, when any one of the storage sub-chambers 2131 is rotated to the position of the open area, the feeding operation of the corresponding storage sub-chamber 2131 can be realized. For example, it can be considered that the rotating mechanism such as the rotating shaft constructs the second installation position. At this time, due to the constraint of the rotating mechanism such as the rotating shaft, the movable part is still in the second position of the cooking main body, but not in one posture, but will be in different postures in a rotating manner.
[0096] As an alternative example of the feeding assembly 21, it can also be that the second feeding part 212 is the fixed part, and the first feeding part 211 is arranged relative to the fixed part in a rotatable manner. In this way, it is expected to realize feeding at different positions through the rotation of the first feeding part 211. For example, a plurality of feeding ports 221 can be arranged on the upstream side of the feeding assembly 22 at this time. Or both of them are arranged as movable parts. In this way, it is expected to more flexibly combine the storage sub-chambers 2131 that are currently in the feeding state.
[0097] In a possible implementation manner, the smoking and roasting module 23 includes two smoking and roasting units 230 stacked up and down. For example, the two smoking and roasting units 230 are fixedly connected or assembled into a whole in a detachable manner and arranged on the inner bottom side of the inner liner 12. For example, they can be fixedly arranged at a set position (such as a position approximately close to the middle) on the inner bottom side of the inner liner 12 or arranged on the inner bottom side of the inner liner 12 in a movable manner (such as rotation). In this example, the smoking and roasting unit 230 mainly includes a housing 231. The housing 231 is provided with a first communication structure 232 and a second communication structure 233. A smoke collecting chamber is formed inside the housing 231. For example, a smoking material heating component such as a heating tube is arranged at the bottom or circumferential position of the smoke collecting chamber. In this way, after the smoking material contained in the feeding assembly 21 is delivered to the smoke collecting chamber, with the heat provided by the smoking material heating component and the air sent to the smoke collecting chamber via the air inlet assembly 25, the smoking material can be made to emit smoke to generate the flue gas as the cooking medium. Then, the flue gas is delivered to the cooking chamber 121 via the first / second communication structure 233, so as to cook the food in the cooking chamber 121 in a smoking and roasting manner or a manner including smoking and roasting.
[0098] In this example, the housing 231 is generally in the shape of a frustum of a cone, and a first communication structure 232 is provided on the side wall of the housing 231 at a position corresponding to the smoke collection chamber. As in this example, the first communication structure 232 includes a plurality of communication hole groups, and the plurality of communication hole groups are uniformly distributed along the circumferential direction of the smoke collection chamber. As in this example, in the upper smoking unit 230, each communication hole group includes three communication small holes, and in the lower smoking unit 230, each communication hole group includes one communication small hole. Obviously, those skilled in the art can flexibly select the structural form, number, installation position, distribution method, etc. of the first communication structure 232.
[0099] In a possible implementation manner, a collection structure 234 is provided above the housing 231 of the smoking unit 230, and the collection structure 234 is mainly used to collect oil stains generated during cooking, etc. Exemplarily, the collection structure 234 is an annular sheet-like structure that is circumferentially arranged around the outer edge of the top of the housing 231 in an outwardly extending manner. For example, the height of the radial outer side of the annular sheet-like structure is higher than that of the radial inner side to better collect oil stains. In this example, the second communication structure 233 includes a plurality of communication large holes provided on the collection structure 234 and having relatively larger apertures than the communication small holes. Similar to the aforementioned first communication structure 232, those skilled in the art can flexibly select the structural form, number, installation position, distribution method, etc. of the second communication structure 233. For example, the communication large holes can be changed to a ring slot structure, communication small holes, etc., or the second communication structure 233 can be provided at other positions such as the top of the housing 231 instead of on the collection structure 234.
[0100] In this way, the first / second communication structure 233 together constitutes the smoke exhaust assembly of the smoking module 23. Specifically, the smoke generated by the smoking material in the smoke collection chamber can be discharged to the food to be cooked through the first / second communication structure 233. For example: after the smoke goes from the smoke collection chamber through the first communication structure 232 to the inner tank 12, it is divided into two parts. Among them: one part of the smoke (such as the emission direction of the smoke is close to the horizontal direction or the obliquely downward direction) does not pass through the position corresponding to the collection structure 234, so it can freely diffuse and permeate into the inner tank 12 and finally reach the food to be cooked; the other part (such as the emission direction of the smoke is obliquely upward and close to the vertical direction) will pass through the position corresponding to the collection structure 234. At this time, at least a part of this part of the smoke can reach the food to be cooked after passing through the second communication structure 233.
[0101] Obviously, the above-described smoke exhaust assembly is only an exemplary description, and those skilled in the art can flexibly adjust it according to the actual situation. For example, it only includes the first communication structure 232, both the first / second communication structures 233 are provided on the side side wall of the housing 231, the second communication structure 233 is provided on the top of the housing 231 of the upper smoking unit 230, etc.
[0102] In a possible implementation, the air outlet assembly 24 includes an air outlet. For example, opening and closing mechanisms such as valves and wax motors can be configured at the air outlet to discharge the gas in the cooking chamber 121 according to requirements. Exemplarily, the air outlet assembly 24 can include a purification assembly, such as for purifying the gas to be discharged and then discharging it to the outside of the oven 100.
[0103] In a possible implementation, the oven 100 includes a blower housing assembly capable of delivering a hot air stream, which is a cooking medium, to the cooking chamber 121. The blower housing assembly mainly includes a blower housing, a uniform temperature blower (such as usually a centrifugal blower), and hot air stream heating components such as heating coils. The uniform temperature blower is mainly used to keep the temperature of the hot air stream in the cooking chamber 121 as uniform as possible. The blower housing forms a hot air chamber, the uniform temperature blower is arranged in the hot air chamber, and the hot air stream heating components can be arranged in the hot air chamber or at a position close to the hot air chamber to heat the air stream. For example, an air return port 124 and an air supply port 125 are arranged on the blower housing. Under the action of the uniform temperature blower, the air in the inner container 12 flows through the air return port 124 and is sucked into the hot air chamber, and then is heated by the heating coil to be converted into a hot air stream carrying heat and serving as a cooking medium. Also under the action of the uniform temperature blower, the hot air stream is thrown towards the air supply port 125 and thus sent into the inner container 12 again. In this way, the hot air stream can be continuously delivered to the surface of the food to be cooked, and the food to be cooked can be cooked in the way of hot air roasting through a corresponding control program.
[0104] In a possible implementation, the oven 100 further includes a heat dissipation assembly 5. The heat dissipation assembly 5 mainly includes a heat dissipation air duct 51 and a heat dissipation fan 52. The heat dissipation fan 52 is mainly used to suck air into the heat dissipation air duct 51 and then discharge it to the outside of the oven 100, so as to dissipate heat from components such as a power board and electrical components to ensure the operation reliability of the oven 100. For example, the heat dissipation fan 52 can be arranged at the top, side, etc. of the inner container 12. Exemplarily, the heat dissipation fan 52 is a cross-flow fan, and the cross-flow fan is arranged at the top of the inner container 12 and between the top plate of the box body 11 and the outside of the top of the inner container 12.
[0105] It can be seen that in the preferred implementation of the present application, through the setting of the smoking and roasting mechanism, the cooking device can have the smoking and roasting function. By separating the feeding assembly from the smoking and roasting module, it is possible to optimize each functional module of the smoking and roasting mechanism respectively. By having two positions of the feeding assembly corresponding to the first position and the second position relative to the accommodating space, on the one hand, the convenience of the feeding (material reduction) operation can be improved, and on the other hand, the reliability of the feeding operation in the working state can be ensured. Through the mobility of the feeding assembly in the state of its second installation position, the reliability of the feeding operation is further ensured.
[0106] So far, the technical solutions of the present application have been described in conjunction with the preferred embodiments shown in the accompanying drawings. However, it is easy for those skilled in the art to understand that the protection scope of the present application is obviously not limited to these specific embodiments. Without departing from the principle of the present application, those skilled in the art can make equivalent changes or substitutions to the relevant technical features, and the technical solutions after these changes or substitutions will all fall within the protection scope of the present application.
