Description

Technical Field

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

[0002] Cooking devices in kitchen 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 provide 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 circulating hot air to cook the ingredients by continuously providing circulating hot air 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 providing a cooking medium generated by 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 depending on the 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 achieved through 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 the frame of a cooking device). However, since the smoking and roasting mechanism involves many functional modules, if multiple functional modules are completely integrated, it often occupies a large space. In the case where at least a part of the multiple functional modules are separately arranged, there is still room for improvement in how to reasonably arrange each functional module. 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, the cooking main body forms a cooking chamber; and a smoking and roasting mechanism, which includes: a feeding component, having at least one smoking agent containing chamber; at least one smoking and roasting module, which can be arranged in the cooking chamber; and a feeding component, the smoking agent in the smoking agent containing chamber can be delivered to the smoking and roasting module through the feeding component; wherein, at least a part of the feeding component and the feeding component is accommodated in the cooking main body.

[0006] With such a configuration, it is possible to achieve the smoking function of the cooking device through a split-type smoking mechanism. Since the smoking module is located inside the cooking chamber, the generated smoke, which serves as the cooking medium, can cook the food more directly. For example, unnecessary heat loss can be avoided, and the amount, position, timing, and duration of the release of the cooking medium can be controlled according to actual needs. For example, if the smoking module includes one, smoke can be released to the food to be cooked through different positions of the smoking module. If the smoking module includes multiple ones, the multiple smoking modules can be arranged in different parts of the cooking chamber, so as to release smoke to the food to be cooked from different directions. For example, the structural form, smoking ability, smoking timing / duration, installation position, etc. of each cooking module can be flexibly adjusted according to actual needs.

[0007] For the above cooking device, in a possible implementation, the feeding component has a feeding port, and the upstream side of the feeding component in the feeding direction has a feed port, and the feeding port can be docked with the feed port; and / or the smoking module includes a smoke collecting chamber, and the downstream side of the feeding component in the feeding direction has a feeding port, and the feeding port can be communicated with the smoke collecting chamber.

[0008] With such a configuration, it is possible to ensure that the smoking material is delivered to the smoking module in the cooking chamber under the condition that the functional modules in the smoking mechanism are separated, through the docking between the upstream and downstream sides of the feeding component and the feeding port and the smoke collecting chamber. Here, the smoke collecting chamber should be understood as a chamber that can cause the smoking material to generate smoke as the cooking medium.

[0009] For the above cooking device, in a possible implementation, the feeding component includes a connecting structure, and the feeding port is communicated with the smoke collecting chamber through the connecting structure.

[0010] With such a configuration, it is possible to ensure that the smoking material can reliably reach the smoke collecting chamber on the downstream side of the feeding component.

[0011] For the above cooking device, in a possible implementation, the smoking mechanism includes: an air intake component through which air from the external environment can be delivered to the smoke collecting chamber; and / or an air outlet component through which the cooking medium in the cooking chamber can be discharged to the outside of the cooking device.

[0012] With such a configuration, it is possible to ensure the reliability of smoking through the air intake component and ensure the sustainability of smoking cooking through the setting of the air outlet component.

[0013] For the above cooking device, in a possible implementation, the air intake component and / or the air outlet component is at least partially integrated with the feeding component.

[0014] With such a configuration, it is possible to seek to improve the compactness of the smoking mechanism. Specifically, since the feeding assembly allows gas to flow during the feeding process, on the premise of permission, integrating different functions to at least a certain extent helps to improve the compactness of the smoking mechanism.

[0015] In addition, each module of the smoking mechanism is usually fixedly arranged in a certain part of the cooking device. In this way, due to the constraints in the structure and / or function of the cooking device itself, there is still a certain room for improvement in the performance of the mechanism. For example, but not limited to: there are certain difficulties 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 differential design space for the postures of the mechanism in the operating state and the non-operating state (the differential design here should at least have certain technical effects). In response to this problem, the present application makes the following improvements.

[0016] For the above cooking device, in a possible implementation manner, the cooking main body forms a receiving space, and the feeding assembly can be movably arranged on the cooking main body and is in a first position and a second position relative to the receiving space. Wherein, when the feeding assembly is in the first position, it is allowed to take the smoking material from the smoking material storage cavity; and / or when the feeding assembly is in the second position, at least a part of the feeding assembly is received in the receiving space, and the smoking material in the smoking material storage cavity can be put into the smoking module.

[0017] With such a configuration, it is possible to seek to differentially set the posture of taking the smoking material from the smoking material storage cavity (corresponding to the first position) and the posture in which the smoking material in the smoking material storage cavity (such as, but not limited to, block structure, strip structure, powder structure, etc.) can be put into the smoking module (corresponding to the second position), so as to improve the performance of the smoking mechanism. For example, by adjusting the taking posture corresponding to the first position, it is expected to improve the operation experience of the smoking mechanism, and by adjusting the feeding posture corresponding to the second position, it is expected to ensure the cooking quality of the ingredients by the smoking mechanism.

[0018] 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 assembly between the first position and the second position, the method by which the feeding assembly puts the smoking material into the smoking module, the structural form / smoke generation method of the smoking module, etc. according to actual needs.

[0019] Among them, regarding the specific orientations of the first position and the second position relative to the cooking device, when the feeding assembly is in the first / second position, it can be entirely or partially outside or inside the contour dimensions of the cooking device. Exemplarily, when the feeding assembly is in the second position, a part of it is located outside the contour dimensions of the cooking device and a part is located inside the contour dimensions of the cooking device. Also, the first / second position of the feeding assembly 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 the side meet (the area near the ridge line or the position near the corner) of the cooking device.

[0020] Among them, regarding the switching manner of the feeding assembly 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 by means of what mechanism to achieve the corresponding motion, etc. 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 means such as a slide rail, a lead screw nut mechanism, a gear rack mechanism, etc. Among them, the realization of sliding can be achieved manually or automatically by means of a driving part, etc.

[0021] Among them, regarding the manner in which the smoking material is fed into the smoking module by the feeding assembly, for example, it can be directly dropped through a structure with a height difference (such as a ramp, a pipe, etc.), or the smoking material can be made to move in a spiral / horizontal motion or any other 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 the conveying path that requires the configuration of a transmission mechanism, those skilled in the art can select any reasonable transmission mechanism according to actual needs.

[0022] Among them, regarding the structural form / smoke generation manner of the smoking module, in the case where it can emit the smoke serving as the cooking medium into the cooking chamber, those skilled in the art can adopt any reasonable smoking module. For example, the structure for generating smoke from the smoking material, 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.

[0023] 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 near the top.

[0024] With such a configuration, a possible configuration manner of the accommodation space is given.

[0025] It is understandable that those skilled in the art can determine the structural form of the accommodation space and its relationship with the feeding component in a state that meets the accommodation condition according to actual requirements. 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 method or an accommodation method with a margin.

[0026] It should be noted that the composition of the accommodation space usually includes a wall, and the wall can be a box / inner liner or an additional structure. Exemplarily, an intermediate structure such as a cover, a plate, a frame, etc. is provided between the box and the inner liner, and the intermediate structure itself forms an accommodation space or the intermediate structure and the box / inner liner form an accommodation space.

[0027] In a possible implementation manner, the cooking main body has a second installation position. When the feeding component is in the second position, the feeding component is arranged at the second installation position, and when the feeding component is arranged at the second installation position, the feeding component is completely accommodated in the accommodation space.

[0028] With such a composition, 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, when being completely accommodated in a preset accommodation space, the feeding component is in a relatively stable position (with fewer interference factors), and in this way, the reliability of the feeding operation can be ensured.

[0029] For the above cooking device, in a possible implementation manner, at least a part of the feeding component is arranged on the cooking main body in a movable manner.

[0030] In this way, by the movement of the feeding component, the position and / or posture of the feeding component at the second installation position can be adjusted, so as to further ensure the reliability of the feeding operation. For example, the position and / or posture of the feeding component can be adjusted according to the type, remaining amount, amount to be put in, etc. of the smoking material. For example, it can include but is not limited to: enabling a part in the feeding state to be docked with the feeding port; when the amount of the smoking material is small, tilting the feeding component at a certain angle relative to the horizontal plane; the cooking main body has a plurality of 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 realized.

[0031] It is understandable that those skilled in the art can determine the specific form, number, the number of positions and / or postures that the feeding component can be in on the second installation position, and / or which specific position and / or posture, etc. according to actual needs.

[0032] In addition, those skilled in the art can determine the movement mode when the feeding component switches between different positions and / or postures, and by means of what mechanism to achieve the corresponding movement. 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 of a motor, any reasonable rotation module, etc.

[0033] In a possible implementation manner, the cooking main body has a first installation position. When the feeding component is in the first position, the feeding component is arranged at the first installation position.

[0034] With such a structure, the feeding component still has a connection relationship with the cooking device in the taking state, so that the configuration stability of the smoking mechanism including the feeding component on the cooking device can be ensured. Similar to the aforementioned second installation position, those skilled in the art can determine the specific form, number, the number of positions and / or postures that the feeding component can be in on the first installation position, and / or which specific position and / or posture, etc. according to actual needs.

[0035] 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. With such a structure, it is possible to facilitate the user's taking operation. Specifically, in the 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 partially not being accommodated, completely not being accommodated, etc. Exemplarily, the feeding component can be pulled out of the accommodation space in a drawable manner (but not detached).

[0036] In a possible implementation manner, the feeding component can be separated from the cooking main body, and thus the feeding component is in the first position.

[0037] With such a structure, it is possible to more flexibly achieve the taking operation. Still taking the aforementioned feeding component that can be pulled out of the accommodation space in a drawable manner as an example, for example, when the feeding component is completely pulled out and separated from the cooking main body, feeding can be performed outside the cooking device. In such a case, since the feeding component is separated 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.

[0038] In a possible implementation, the cooking device is configured with a plurality of feeding components, and any one of the plurality of feeding components can be disposed at a second position of the cooking main body.

[0039] With such a configuration, it is possible to achieve a more convenient feeding operation. For example, the feeding component with the smoking 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 smoking materials, so that 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 smoking materials and powdery smoking materials.

[0040] For the above cooking device, in a possible implementation, 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.

[0041] 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.

[0042] The statement "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 statement "the cooking main body can form an avoidance space" should be understood as: the avoidance space is a dynamic structure generated by the movement of the existing or added structures of the cooking device, that is, the avoidance space will not be formed in some postures and can be formed in some postures. For example, the avoidance space can be formed by the rotation of the corresponding structure (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 direction or any other direction, etc.), etc. For example, the avoidance space can be a hole, a channel, etc. Among them, the formation of the avoidance space can be automatically realized by means of a driving component or manually.

[0043] For the above cooking device, in a possible implementation, the cooking main body includes a control panel, and the control panel is movably disposed on the cooking main body so that: the avoidance space is formed by the movement of the control panel.

[0044] With such a configuration, a possible integration method of the feeding component on the cooking main body is given.

[0045] 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.

[0080] 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 and convection oven. In addition, although this embodiment is described in combination with a smoking and roasting module with a specific structure (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 intake and exhaust structures of each unit can be flexibly adjusted. In addition, this structure can also be changed to a module with any structural form that can realize the function of generating smoke, such as a module with any structural form having basic functions such as storing smoking materials, heating smoking materials, and emitting smoke.

[0081] It should be noted that in the description of the present application, the terms indicating directions or positional relationships such as "center", "upper", "lower", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "inner", "outer", etc. are based on the directions or positional relationships shown in the drawings. This is only for convenience of description and does not indicate or imply that the device or element must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, it should not be construed as a limitation to the present application. In addition, the terms "first", "second", "third" are only used for descriptive purposes and cannot be construed as indicating or implying relative importance. The singular terms "a", "this" may also include the plural form.

[0082] In addition, it should be noted that in the description of the present application, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the terms "mounted", "connected", "coupled" should be understood in a broad sense. For example, it may be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it may be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it may be directly connected or indirectly connected through an intermediate medium, and it may be the communication inside two elements. For those skilled in the art, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present application can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0083] 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 also be implemented without some specific details. In some instances, the principles well-known to those skilled in the art such as hot air baking, smoking and roasting are not described in detail to highlight the gist of the present application.

[0084] Exemplarily, the oven is installed in the kitchen in an embedded manner. In a specific example, the oven is installed in the lower kitchen cabinet under the cooking range. The present application aims to add a smoking and roasting function to the oven. For example, it can also be to add a smoking and roasting function to other types of cooking equipment or only propose a cooking equipment with a smoking and roasting function. Of course, the oven can also be set at any position.

[0085] Mainly referring to Figures 1 to 6 , in a possible implementation manner, the oven 100 includes a cooking main body 1 and a smoking and roasting 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 and roasting mechanism 2 can cook the food placed in the cooking chamber 121.

[0086] Exemplarily, a shelf may be provided inside the inner container 12, and the food ingredients to be cooked can be directly placed on the shelf or placed in a container (such as a plate) placed on the shelf. In this example, a standing shelf 122 is provided inside 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 inside 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, such as it can be a support frame, a support column, etc. Obviously, the structural form of a single-layer shelf mounting position 123 can also be adopted.

[0087] In a possible implementation manner, the smoking and roasting mechanism 2 mainly includes a feeding component 21, a smoking and roasting module 23, an air outlet component 24, and an air inlet component 25. Among them, the feeding component 21 forms a smoking material containing cavity 213 capable of containing smoking materials, and the smoking and roasting 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 and roasting module 23, the smoking and roasting module 23 can generate flue gas as a cooking medium. Based on this, the food ingredients placed in the cooking chamber 121 can be cooked in a smoking and roasting manner or a manner including smoking and roasting. The air inlet component 25 is mainly used to provide the air (oxygen) required for generating flue gas 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.

[0088] In a possible implementation manner, on the one hand, the air inlet module is communicated with the external environment, and on the other hand, it is communicated with the cooking chamber 121. In this example, the air inlet module includes an air inlet channel, the upstream side of the air inlet channel is docked with the feeding position of the feeding component 21, and the downstream side is docked with the feeding position of the smoking and roasting module 23. In this way, while the air inlet module provides gas to the cooking chamber 121, it also realizes the connection between the feeding component 21 and the smoking and roasting module 23. Obviously, those skilled in the art can determine the specific structural form, installation position, etc. of the air inlet module according to actual needs. For example, it can be installed on the side, back, etc. of the cooking main body 1, and the structural form can be a channel, a hole, a valve, etc. In addition, the air inlet function and the connection function between the feeding component 21 and the smoking and roasting component can be partially integrated or independent of each other, such as being realized by two independent structures, etc. Exemplarily, the smoking and roasting mechanism 2 includes a feeding component 22, and the feeding component 21 can be docked with the smoking and roasting module 23 via the feeding component 22.

[0089] In this example, the feeding component 22 is generally a pipeline structure. Since gas will also enter the smoking and roasting module 23 via the feeding component 22 along with the smoking materials from the feeding component 21 reaching the upstream side of the feeding component 22, the feeding component 22 also serves as the air inlet component 25. Obviously, those skilled in the art can also set an air inlet component 25 that is relatively independent of the feeding component 22.

[0090] In a possible implementation, a receiving space 13 is formed between the top plate at the top of the box body 11 and the outer side of the top of the inner container 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 holding 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 holding cavity 213 can be put into the smoking and roasting module 23. In other words, when the feeding assembly 21 is in the first position 31, the feeding position of the smoking material holding cavity 213 is relatively user-friendly, so it is convenient for the user to take the smoking material from the smoking material holding 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.

[0091] In a possible implementation, the cooking main body 1 includes a control panel 14. As in this example, the control panel 14 is arranged on the front side of the receiving 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 receiving space 13. A switching mechanism such as a slide rail is configured in the receiving space 13, and thus the feeding assembly 21 is arranged at a position of the cooking main body 1 corresponding to the receiving space 13 in a push-pull manner. For example, when the opening side of the receiving space 13 is opened to form an avoidance space, the feeding assembly 21 can be pulled out partially or completely from the receiving space 13, so as to perform a feeding operation on it.

[0092] In a possible implementation, limiting structures are respectively arranged at positions near both ends of the slide rail to define the push-pull range of the feeding assembly 21. When the feeding assembly 21 is pulled out to the end, the feeding assembly 21 is in a first installation position corresponding to the first position 31 relative to the slide rail. For example, it can be considered that the slide rail and the outer limiting structure construct the first installation position, and the feeding assembly at this time can be fixedly arranged at the first installation position. At this time, a part of the feeding assembly 21 is exposed outside the receiving space 13. When the feeding assembly 21 is pushed in to the end, the feeding assembly 21 is in a second installation position 42 corresponding to the second position 32 relative to the slide rail. At this time, the feeding assembly 21 is completely received in the receiving space 13.

[0093] Obviously, the push-pull movement realized by the slide rail and the reliable reaching of the first / second installation positions realized by the limiting structure are only an exemplary description. Those skilled in the art can determine the specific movement mode of the feeding assembly 21 during position switching, the mechanism relied on for the movement, the specific form of the first / second installation positions and their implementation manners, etc. according to actual requirements.

[0094] In a possible implementation manner, 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.

[0095] In a possible implementation manner, the smoking material holding cavity 213 of the feeding component 21 includes a plurality of holding sub-cavities 2131. For example, the smoking materials can be separately placed in the plurality of holding sub-cavities 2131, so as to avoid the influence of concentrated stacking on the feeding reliability of the smoking materials. In addition, different types of smoking materials can also be placed in different holding sub-cavities 2131, so as to achieve a more flavorful smoking mode.

[0096] For example, in this example, the smoking material component is generally in a disc-like structure, and the holding sub-cavity 2131 is generally in a fan-shaped structure. Obviously, those skilled in the art can determine the structural form of the smoking material holding cavity 213, the structural form / number of the holding sub-cavities 2131 / and the specific manner of forming the smoking material holding cavity 213 according to actual needs. For example, the different holding sub-cavities 2131 can be the same or different, the different holding sub-cavities 2131 can be independent of each other or communicate with each other, and the plurality of holding sub-cavities 2131 can be evenly or unevenly distributed, etc.

[0097] 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, and the first feeding part 211 and the second feeding part 212 form the holding sub-cavity 2131. For example, in this example, the first feeding part 211 is a fixed part, the second feeding part 212 is a movable part that is rotatably arranged on the fixed part, and the bottom of the fixed part (other positions except the open area) can form a fuel holding cavity with the movable part. A feeding port 214 is provided on the fixed part. For example, 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 (other positions except the open area) can form a fuel holding cavity 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 flange, which can play a certain role in blocking materials and guiding rotation.

[0098] In a possible implementation, a feed inlet 221 is provided on the upstream side of the feed assembly 22, and the feed inlet 221 can be docked with the feeding port 214 of the feeding assembly 21. As in this example, the feed inlet 221 is generally in a funnel structure. The outer edge contour of the top of the funnel is substantially 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 feed inlet 221 and its docking method with the feeding port 214 according to actual needs. For example, in addition to alignment, the docking method can also be connection with each other, etc. Taking connection with each other as an example, for example, the upstream side of the feed assembly 22 can be directly connected to the feeding port 214 or indirectly connected by means of intermediate components such as pipes. Exemplarily, a connecting pipe extends below the feeding port 214, and the upstream side of the feed assembly 22 is directly sleeved on the outer wall of the connecting pipe.

[0099] In a possible implementation, a feeding port 222 is provided on the downstream side of the feed assembly 22, and 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 feed assembly 22. The feed assembly 22 is fixed to the cooking main body 1 through the connecting structure 223. For example, it can be directly arranged on the outer wall / inner wall of the inner container 12 or fixed on 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. For example, 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 arranged on the vertical frame 122 fixed to the inner container 12 (the feeding port 222 can extend into the cooking chamber 121).

[0100] In a possible implementation, the feeding port 222 communicates with the smoke collecting chamber of the smoking module 23 inside the cooking chamber 121 through 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.

[0101] 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.

[0102] As in this example, the movable part includes a base body which forms an annular region. Inside the annular region, a plurality of accommodating sub-chambers 2131 are separated by a plurality of partition plates distributed circumferentially (the accommodating sub-chambers 2131 in the non-delivery state are formed by the annular region, two adjacent partition plates and the fixed part, while the accommodating sub-chambers 2131 in the delivery state are not blocked by the fixing structure at the bottom but enter the feeding assembly 21 through the feeding port 214). The plurality of accommodating sub-chambers 2131 and the bottom of the fixed part below enclose a plurality of accommodating sub-chambers 2131 that are roughly fan-shaped regions. It can be understood that those skilled in the art can determine the structural form, number, distribution method, etc. of the accommodating sub-chambers 2131 according to actual needs. For example, the structures of the plurality of accommodating sub-chambers 2131 can be the same or different, and can be distributed evenly or unevenly along the circumference of the annular region. 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 accommodating sub-chambers 2131 according to actual needs. For example, the fixed part is a cylindrical structure, and the movable part is rotatably accommodated therein.

[0103] 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 accommodating sub-chambers 2131 is rotated to the position of the open area, the feeding operation of the corresponding accommodating 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.

[0104] 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 set as the movable part. In this way, it is expected to more flexibly combine the accommodating sub-chambers 2131 that are currently in the feeding state.

[0105] In a possible implementation, the smoking module 23 includes two smoking units 230 stacked one above the other. For example, the two smoking units 230 are fixedly connected or detachably combined to form a whole and are arranged on the inner bottom of the inner container 12. For example, they can be fixedly arranged at a set position on the inner bottom of the inner container 12 (such as a position approximately near the middle, etc.) or arranged in a movable manner (such as rotation, etc.) on the inner bottom of the inner container 12. In this example, the smoking 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 collection chamber 2301 is formed inside the housing 231. For example, at the bottom or circumferential position of the smoke collection chamber 2301, there are arranged smoking material heating components such as heating tubes. In this way, after the smoking material placed in the feeding assembly 21 reaches the smoke collection chamber 2301, with the heat provided by the smoking material heating components and the air sent to the smoke collection chamber 2301 via the air intake assembly 25, the smoking material can be made to emit smoke to generate the flue gas serving as the cooking medium. Then, the flue gas reaches the cooking chamber 121 via the first / second communication structure, thereby cooking the food ingredients in the cooking chamber 121 in a smoking or a way including smoking.

[0106] In this example, the housing 231 is generally in a frustum shape. The side wall of the housing 231 is provided with the first communication structure 232 at the position corresponding to the smoke collection chamber 2301. For example, in this example, the first communication structure 232 includes a plurality of communication hole groups, and the plurality of communication hole groups are evenly distributed along the circumference of the smoke collection chamber 2301. For example, 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, setting position, distribution method, etc. of the first communication structure 232.

[0107] In a possible implementation, a collection structure 234 is arranged above the housing 231 of the smoking unit 230. The collection structure 234 is mainly used for collecting cooking-generated oil stains, etc. Exemplarily, the collection structure 234 is an annular sheet-like structure arranged in a circumferentially extending manner around the top outer edge of the housing 231. 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 arranged 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, setting position, distribution method, etc. of the second communication structure 233. For example, the communication large holes can be changed to a ring slit structure, communication small holes, etc., or the second communication structure 233 can be arranged at other positions such as the top of the housing 231 instead of on the collection structure 234.

[0108] In this way, the first / second communication structure combines to form the smoke exhaust component of the smoking and roasting module 23. Specifically, the smoke generated by the smoking materials in the smoke collection chamber 2301 can be discharged to the food to be cooked through the first / second communication structure. For example: after the smoke goes from the smoke collection chamber 2301 through the first communication structure 232 to the inner container 12, it is divided into two parts. Among them: one part of the smoke (such as the discharge 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 to the inner container 12 and finally reach the food to be cooked; the other part (such as the discharge 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.

[0109] Obviously, the above-mentioned smoke exhaust component 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 are arranged on the side side wall of the housing 231, and the second communication structure 233 is arranged on the top of the housing 231 of the smoking and roasting unit 230 above, etc.

[0110] In a possible implementation manner, the air outlet component 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 component 24 can include a purification component, such as the gas to be discharged can be purified and then discharged to the outside of the oven 100.

[0111] In a possible implementation manner, the oven 100 includes a blower housing assembly that can discharge the cooking medium of hot air flow to the cooking chamber 121. For example, the blower housing assembly mainly includes a blower housing, a temperature equalizing blower (such as usually a centrifugal blower) and hot air flow heating components such as heating coils. The temperature equalizing blower is mainly used to make the temperature of the hot air flow in the cooking chamber 121 as uniform as possible. The blower housing forms a hot air chamber. The temperature equalizing blower is arranged in the hot air chamber, and the hot air flow heating components can be arranged in the hot air chamber or close to the hot air chamber to heat the air flow. For example, the blower housing is provided with a return air port 124 and a supply air port 125. Under the action of the temperature equalizing blower, the air in the inner container 12 flows through the return air 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 flow carrying heat and serving as a cooking medium. Also under the action of the temperature equalizing blower, the hot air flow is thrown towards the supply air port 125 and thus sent into the inner container 12 again. In this way, the hot air flow can be continuously discharged to the surface of the food to be cooked, so that the food to be cooked can be cooked in the way of hot air roasting through the corresponding control program.

[0112] In a possible implementation, the oven 100 further includes a heat dissipation component 5. The heat dissipation component 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 cabinet 11 and the outer side of the top of the inner container 12.

[0113] 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 component from the smoking and roasting module, it is possible to optimize each functional module of the smoking and roasting mechanism respectively. By arranging the smoking and roasting module in the cooking chamber, the cooking quality of the food can be better guaranteed. By integrating the air intake component 25 in the air intake and outlet component with the feeding component, the layout compactness of the smoking and roasting mechanism in the cooking device is improved. By arranging the feeding component in the accommodation space at the top of the cooking main body, and

[0114] In addition, by making the feeding component have two positions corresponding to the first position and the second position relative to the accommodation space, on the one hand, the convenience of feeding (or reducing the amount of material) 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 component in the state where it is in the second position, the reliability of the feeding operation is further ensured.

[0115] So far, the technical solution of the present application has been described in combination with the preferred implementation shown in the 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 implementations. 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 fall within the protection scope of the present application.
