Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of kitchen appliances, and in particular to a method for cleaning cooking equipment. Background Art

[0002] With the development of home appliance technology, cooking equipment that can meet users' diverse and sophisticated cooking needs has emerged, such as cooking equipment that can cook ingredients using one or more cooking methods such as steaming, baking, and frying. Taking baking as an example, the corresponding cooking equipment can be a single-cavity or double-cavity oven that only has baking as a cooking method, or it can also include baking as a cooking method, such as a steam-bake combination or a steam-bake-fryer combination.

[0003] The principle behind grilling is that a circulating hot air flow is supplied to the inner pot (enclosed within the cooking chamber) where the food is to be cooked, thereby cooking the food through hot air grilling. The principle behind steaming is that high-temperature steam is supplied to the inner pot where the food is to be cooked, thereby cooking the food through pure steaming. There are also cooking methods that combine steaming and grilling (such as the tender grilling mode).

[0004] Take the oven (which uses the baking method alone) as an example, and the ingredients to be cooked are meat ingredients such as chicken / goose / lamb, as an example. Since these ingredients usually contain oil and moisture, during the cooking process (heat-cooking), it is inevitable that oil-containing substances such as oil / oil stains / oil residues will splash / drip / fall onto the top / side / bottom wall of the inner pot (and the inner wall of the door body). Accordingly, in order to ensure the performance of the cooking equipment and the user experience, the oven needs to be cleaned in a timely manner. Among the current cleaning methods, high-temperature pyrolysis steam cleaning generally has the problem of poor cleaning effect, so its recognition is not high. The cleaning effect of wiping / rinsing cleaning can be better in theory, but due to the limitations of the specific implementation method, the current cleaning effect still has room for improvement, such as often having problems including but not limited to cumbersome / inconvenient operation, incomplete cleaning of all / partial areas, and certain operational difficulties for users. Summary of the Invention

Because the door assembly is fixedly connected to the second inner container, it facilitates the pulling and pulling operation for cleaning.

[0008] The phrase “pulling the second liner and door assembly assembly out of the first liner” should be understood as: pulling the second liner and door assembly assembly out to a position where the liner unit can be removed from the base.

[0037] The preferred embodiments of the present application are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Those skilled in the art should understand that these embodiments are only used to explain the technical principles of the present application and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present application. For example, although the present embodiment introduces the cooking device in conjunction with an oven that only includes the cooking method of baking, this is not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present application. Without departing from the principles of the present application, those skilled in the art can apply the present application to other application product forms, such as a steam-bake all-in-one machine, a steam-bake-fry all-in-one machine, a double-cavity oven / steam oven, etc. In addition, in addition to being applicable to cooking equipment that includes the cooking method of baking, the present application is also applicable to cooking equipment for other cooking methods (such as frying, etc.) that require similar cleaning.

[0038] It should be noted that in the description of this application, terms such as "center," "upper," "lower," "left," "right," "vertical," "horizontal," "inner," and "outer" indicating directions or positional relationships are based on the directions or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings. This is merely for ease of description and does not indicate or imply that the device or element must have a specific orientation, be constructed, or operate in a specific orientation. Therefore, it should not be understood as limiting this application. In addition, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be understood as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0039] Furthermore, it should be noted that, in the description of this application, unless otherwise expressly specified or limited, the terms "installed," "set," and "connected" should be understood in a broad sense. For example, they can refer to fixed connections, detachable connections, or integral connections; they can refer to direct connections, indirect connections through an intermediate medium, or internal connections between two components. Those skilled in the art will understand the specific meanings of the above terms in this application based on the specific circumstances.

[0040] In addition, to better illustrate the present application, numerous specific details are provided in the following detailed description. Those skilled in the art will appreciate that the present application can still be implemented without certain specific details. In some instances, the structural form of the oven, the cooking principles / processes / parameters of baking, etc., which are well known to those skilled in the art, are not described in detail in order to highlight the main purpose of the present application.

[0041] Main reference Figure 1 and Figure 2In one possible embodiment, an oven 100 mainly includes a housing 1, an inner pot assembly 2, and a door assembly 3. The inner pot assembly 2 includes a first inner pot 11 and a second inner pot 12 disposed in the first inner pot, the second inner pot forming a cooking chamber, the first inner pot 21 disposed in the housing 1, and the door assembly is fixedly connected to the second inner pot 22, so that the door assembly and the second inner pot as a whole can be disposed in a retractable manner in the first inner pot 21. For example, a handheld terminal 31 such as a handle or recess is provided on the door assembly, and a user can use the handheld terminal to achieve a pulling and sliding movement of the door assembly containing the second inner pot relative to the housing / first inner pot.

[0042] In one possible embodiment, the second liner 22 includes a base 221 and one or more liner monomers arranged on the base 221, and at least a portion of the liner monomers is removably arranged on the base. As in this example, the base 221 is roughly a frame, and the liner monomers include multiple, specifically, the first side panel 222 / second side panel 223 on the left / right sides, the second back panel 224 (in this example, it can also be called a fan cover) and the bottom panel 225, and each liner monomer is detachably arranged on the frame. The door body assembly is detachably arranged on the frame or fixedly connected to the base (such as welding, bonding, etc., which are non-detachable) or integrally formed. Among them, the door body assembly can be arranged on the frame in the following two ways: (1) the door body assembly is directly arranged on the frame; (2) a front panel is arranged on the frame, and the door body assembly is arranged on the frame and / or the front panel. Based on this, by removing the first / second side panel fan covers and the bottom panel from the frame, the user can conveniently perform deep cleaning of each inner liner unit from the outside of the oven by placing it in a dishwasher, manually cleaning it in a sink, or cleaning it in a specific location. In addition, if removal is feasible, the front panel on the inside of the door assembly can also be removed from the frame for external cleaning.

[0043] Obviously, the above structure is only an exemplary description of the second liner, and those skilled in the art can flexibly adjust the structure and number of the base / liner monomers according to actual needs. For example, it may include but is not limited to:

[0044] (1) The base may include only a frame, or may include one or more intermediate structures (such as a plate-like structure, a strip-like structure, a block-like structure, etc.) fixedly arranged on or integrally formed on the frame. For example, a sliding / pivoting structure or a carrier for mounting the same (such as a plate-like structure, a strip-like structure, a block-like structure, etc.) is added to the frame.

[0045] (2) One or more of the first / second side plate, the second back plate, and the bottom plate are fixedly mounted on or integrally formed on the frame. In this case, this part can also be understood as the base.

[0046] (3) One or more of the first / second side panel, the second back panel, and the bottom panel may include multiple sub-parts, wherein a portion of the multiple sub-parts is fixedly arranged or integrally formed on the frame. In this case, the sub-parts that are not removed from the frame can also be understood as the matrix. For example, the multiple sub-parts of the inner liner unit can be connected by splicing (such as direct docking, splicing with the help of a carrier (plate-like structure, support frame, frame, etc.) or stacking (such as partial overlap / full overlap, two layers / more layers stacking) to form the corresponding inner liner unit. Taking the stacking as an example, the inner layer can be disassembled and washed.

[0047] It should be noted that, taking the intermediate structure in (1) as an example, corresponding to the removable method, the fixed settings mentioned in (1)-(3) can be understood as: due to the use of irreversible fixed connection methods such as welding, the intermediate structure cannot be removed from the frame; for the cleaning function of the oven to be implemented in this application, there is no need to remove the intermediate structure; due to factors such as the installation position, matching method, complexity, etc., disassembly during the cleaning stage is not feasible; because the disassembly is too complicated and there are obvious deficiencies (such as the possibility of affecting the reliability of the oven (such as the possibility of damaging the mechanical connection / electrical connection / other functional components of the oven), and the existence of safety hazards (such as the operating posture that can easily cause harm to the user, etc.), the corresponding disassembly operation is not allowed. For example, the disassembly operation can be blocked by adding corresponding limit / stop structures, markings (such as non-removable pattern markings, etc.), and interactive logic (such as issuing reminder messages).

[0048] (4) The frame is a combination of multiple sub-frames. In the assembled state, the multiple sub-frames constitute the base. When the inner liner assembly needs to be cleaned, the multiple sub-frames can move relative to each other to facilitate the removal of the inner liner unit. For example:

[0049] (41) The frame includes a first sub-frame (similar to the current frame) and a second sub-frame (an auxiliary frame located inside the first sub-frame), wherein the second sub-frame can be extended and retracted in the front-to-back direction relative to the first sub-frame. In this case, the second sub-frame can be completely accommodated in the first sub-frame. Based on this arrangement, when it is necessary to clean the inner tank assembly, the second sub-frame can be moved forward relative to the first sub-frame, so that the operating position for removing the second back plate from the frame can be moved forward, for example, to avoid interference with the operating panel of the oven.

[0050] (42) The frame includes a first sub-frame (equivalent to the front half of the current frame) and a second sub-frame (equivalent to the back half of the current frame) that are telescopically connected in the front-to-back direction. In this case, the two sub-frames can be spliced ​​together to form a frame. Based on such a setting, when it is necessary to clean the liner assembly, the operating position of the rear panel can be moved by moving the second sub-frame forward relative to the first sub-frame (in this case, as the second sub-frame moves forward, the liner unit is disassembled (such as the liner unit is sandwiched between the two sub-frames) or the operating position of the liner unit is moved forward (such as the liner unit is set on the second sub-frame).

[0051] It is understood that those skilled in the art can flexibly select the specific method of removably attaching each liner unit to the liner unit and the corresponding method / direction / specific operation method of removing the liner unit from the base body according to actual needs. For example, the liner unit can be removed from the frame by one or more methods such as pulling up, pulling sideways, tilting, and flipping.

[0052] In one possible embodiment, the inner liner assembly includes a sliding portion, and the sliding portion includes a first sliding structure provided on the first inner liner and a second sliding structure provided on the second inner liner. For example, the first sliding structure includes a pair of slide rails provided at a position where the second inner liner is located at the bottom of the first / second side panel. Correspondingly, another pair of slide rails serving as the second sliding structure is provided at a corresponding position of the first inner liner. Obviously, those skilled in the art can determine the structural form, number, and setting position of the first / second sliding structure according to actual needs. For example, slide rails of any structural form can be selected, and sliding connection pairs of other structural forms can also be selected. The slide rail assembly is also provided at a position near the middle of the inner liner assembly along the height direction. In addition to the slide rails, pulleys can also be installed at the bottom of the second inner liner.

[0053] Taking the slide rail assembly as an example, when the slide rail assembly is in the installed state, the range in which the second inner liner slides relative to the first inner liner can be determined. The starting and ending positions of the sliding connection can also be defined by adding a sliding limiting structure such as a limiting block to the sliding portion. However, since the starting point of this application is to propose a cleaning solution based on quick disassembly, no special limitation is made to the specific structural form of the sliding portion itself. In other words, the structural form of the limiting structure, whether to set a sliding limiting structure on the sliding portion (how to set it if set), etc. can be flexibly selected according to actual needs.

[0054] In one possible embodiment, the frame is provided with a first docking structure 2261 at a position corresponding to the first / second side panel, and correspondingly, a second docking structure 2262 that can match the first docking structure is provided on the first / second side panel. As in this example, the first docking structure 2261 is a recessed structure formed on the frame, and the second docking structure 2262 is a hem that is roughly adapted to the shape and size of the recessed structure. In this way, in the assembled state, the hem overlaps the upper surface of the recessed structure or is located above the upper surface of the recessed structure (with a gap between the two). Taking the latter as an example, in the case where the first / second side panel needs to be removed from the frame, a hand can be inserted into the gap between the first / second side panel and the frame for operation.

[0055] In one possible embodiment, since the implementation of the cooking method of grilling is related to the temperature and flow rate of the hot air flow serving as the cooking medium, a first heating component such as a heating tube can be provided at a position such as the top / side / bottom inner side of the inner pot assembly, so that the cooking medium in the cooking cavity can be primarily heated or auxiliary / supplementarily heated when necessary.

[0056] In one possible embodiment, a shelf (such as a grill, etc.) is provided in the cooking chamber of the oven, and the ingredients to be cooked can be placed directly on the shelf or placed on a container (such as a tray, etc.) placed on the shelf. Among them, one or more shelves can be provided in the cooking chamber, or the shelves can be provided at one or more positions in the cooking chamber. For example, a plurality of mounting positions are provided on the inner wall of the second inner pot along the height direction, and the mounting positions are roughly formed by strip-shaped protrusions on the inner sides of the side panels on both sides (such as shelves), and the shelves can be provided at any one of the plurality of mounting positions. Obviously, this is only an exemplary description, and those skilled in the art can determine the specific structural form, number and formation method of the mounting positions according to actual needs. For example, it can be: a structure such as a bracket is added to the inside of the second inner pot, and a mounting position is formed or provided on the bracket; a structure capable of fixing the shelf is provided on the door assembly mentioned below, and the structure can be used as a mounting position alone, or the structure can be combined with the structure inside the second inner pot as a mounting position. In addition, the mounting position may also be any other reasonable structural form, such as studs (plural) with snap-fit ​​grooves, slide rails, etc. In the case where there are multiple mounting positions, the structural forms of the multiple mounting positions and the methods of placing the shelves on different mounting positions may be the same or different.

[0057] In one possible embodiment, since the cooking method of baking requires the use of a hot air flow as a cooking medium, the oven includes structures related to the generation and circulation of the hot air flow. For example, the oven includes a temperature-uniform blower and a second heating component such as a heating coil, wherein the temperature-uniform blower is mainly used to keep the temperature of the hot air flow delivered to the cooking chamber as uniform and consistent as possible, and the second heating component is mainly used to heat the cooking medium to ensure that the temperature of the hot air flow meets the cooking requirements. For example, a hot air chamber is formed between the first back plate of the first inner pot 21 and the second back plate 224 (blower cover) of the second inner pot 22. The temperature-uniform blower is fixedly mounted on the first back plate 111 and is mainly located in the hot air chamber. The second heating component can be located in the hot air chamber or at another location near the hot air chamber. Taking the second heating component as an example of a heating coil, for example, if the heating coil is located in the hot air chamber, the temperature-uniform blower is approximately located within the area enclosed by the heating coil. The fan cover is provided with a return air port 2271 and an air supply port 2272. With the operation of the temperature-uniform blower, the air flow in the cooking chamber can enter the hot air chamber through the return air port (in the hot air chamber, the air flow is heated and heated by the second heating component), and then enter the cooking chamber through the air supply port, thereby forming a circulating hot air flow. In this way, under the action of the temperature-uniform blower, the air flow in the cooking chamber is sucked into the hot air chamber through the return air port. After being heated by the second heating component and converted into a hot air flow carrying heat as a cooking medium, the hot air flow is thrown to the outer air supply port by the temperature-uniform blower and then sent back into the inner pot. In this way, the hot air flow (the temperature and flow of the hot air flow correspond to the cooking mode) can be delivered to the surface of the food to be cooked, thereby cooking the food to be cooked by hot air baking.

[0058] It should be noted that the hot air chamber mentioned here is not absolutely a complete chamber, but should be understood as an area used to accommodate the main part of the uniform temperature fan. Therefore, technical personnel in this field can determine the structural form, number and specific composition of the hot air chamber according to actual needs.

[0059] Based on the above structure, the present application also provides an oven cleaning method, which is mainly used to remove the inner liner unit in the inner liner assembly from the oven by quick disassembly and then clean it in the external space.

[0060] Main reference Figure 3 In one possible implementation, the oven cleaning method mainly includes the following steps:

[0061] S310: Pull out the door assembly containing the second inner container (a combination of the second inner container and the door assembly) from the first inner container.

[0062] As in this example, the door assembly containing the second liner is withdrawn to a position that ensures that the combination of the second liner and the door assembly does not separate from the first liner and does not interfere with the removal of the second back panel from the base. The phrase "not separate" here should be understood as meaning that the combination of the base and the door assembly does not separate from the first liner. As in this example, the base is generally a frame, and a suitable slide rail assembly can be selected to ensure that the combination of the second liner and the door assembly can slide relative to the first liner without separating from the first liner.

[0063] S320, removing at least a portion of the inner liner unit from the base.

[0064] As a simple example, the base is roughly a frame, and the inner liner units include first and second side panels, a second back panel, and a bottom panel. Each inner liner unit is removed from the frame by pulling it out. The order of removal is: first and second side panels, second back panel, and bottom panel. Obviously, the structure, number, and removal method / direction of the removable inner liner units can be flexibly adjusted according to actual needs.

[0065] S330: Clean the inner container unit removed from the base outside the oven.

[0066] For example, a centralized disassembly-cleaning-installation operation mode is adopted. Obviously, it is also possible to clean only a portion of the liner monomers at a time, or to clean all the liner monomers but adopt a one-by-one disassembly-cleaning-installation operation mode.

[0067] For example, it can be cleaned directly in the sink, or with the help of a pre-installed cleaning device such as a dishwasher. A cleaning device can also be configured specifically for the oven. For example, the cleaning device can be flexibly placed or fixed in a specific target location. For example, because the inner shell unit is a large sheet structure, a separate cleaning device often takes up a lot of space. Therefore, the optional solutions include:

[0068] (1) The user can clean it in a sink, with the help of a dishwasher, or in any other way he chooses.

[0069] (2) The oven is equipped with a cleaning device, which can be provided in the kitchen space in a pull-out manner (or mechanically connected and / or signal-connected to the oven).

[0070] (3) The manufacturer has cleaning equipment. Since the frequency of cleaning of the oven is low, the inner tank unit can be cleaned by the manufacturer's centralized cleaning (such as providing cleaning services) or by maintenance personnel bringing cleaning equipment to provide door-to-door service.

[0071] S340: Install the cleaned inner container unit onto the base body. After the installation is completed, push the door assembly containing the second inner container into the first inner container.

[0072] At this point, cleaning the oven's inner chamber assembly is essentially complete. After removing the inner chamber unit, inspect the cleanliness of the first inner chamber's inner wall, frame, sliding portion, and inner wall of the door assembly. If necessary, clean the corresponding components manually, such as by wiping.

[0073] It can be seen that in a preferred embodiment of the present application, the inner liner assembly of the oven includes a first inner liner and a second inner liner, and the inner liner monomer of the second inner liner blocks the first inner liner and the frame serving as the base of the second inner liner, thereby ensuring the cleanliness of the frame and the first inner liner. Based on this, by removing the inner liner monomer (at least a part of it) from the frame and then cleaning it separately on the outside of the oven, it is expected to ensure the cleaning effect of the oven, such as being able to flexibly adopt any reasonable cleaning method to clean the inner liner monomer. By pulling the second inner liner out of the first inner liner and then disassembling the inner liner monomer, the operability of quick disassembly is guaranteed. By keeping the frame and the first inner liner in an inseparable state, the difficulty of assembly after the cleaning operation is reduced.

[0074] It should be noted that although the above embodiments describe the steps in a specific order, those skilled in the art will appreciate that in order to achieve the effects of the present application, the steps do not necessarily need to be performed in this order. They may be performed simultaneously or in another order, and some steps may be added, replaced, or omitted. For example, the following may be included but are not limited to:

[0075] In the case where a front plate is provided on the inner side of the door assembly, the method may further include the step of removing the front plate from the base body;

[0076] In the case where the frame includes relatively telescopic first / second sub-frames, when removing the second back plate from the base, first move the second sub-frame forward;

[0077] In the case that a certain liner unit includes multiple sub-parts, only one or more of the sub-parts may be removed relative to the base.

[0078] It should be noted that although the oven cleaning method constructed in the above specific manner is described as an example, those skilled in the art will understand that the present application should not be limited thereto. In fact, users can flexibly adjust the relevant steps and parameters in the steps according to actual application scenarios, such as the specific disassembly method of the inner liner unit and whether there are sub-sections in each inner liner unit that do not need to be disassembled. Such factors can be flexibly selected according to actual needs.
