Detailed Implementation

[0025] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this application clearer, the following detailed description is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative and not intended to limit the scope of this application.

[0026] The specific technical features described in the specific embodiments can be combined in any suitable manner without contradiction. For example, different combinations of specific technical features can form different embodiments and technical solutions. To avoid unnecessary repetition, the various possible combinations of the specific technical features in this application will not be described separately.

[0027] In the following description, the terms "first," "second," etc., are used merely to distinguish different objects and do not indicate that the objects have the sameness or relationship. It should be understood that the directional descriptions "above," "below," "outside," and "inside" refer to the orientation under normal use conditions, while "left" and "right" refer to the left and right directions shown in the corresponding diagrams, which may or may not be the left and right directions under normal use conditions.

[0028] It should be noted that the terms "comprising," "including," or any other variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, article, or apparatus that comprises a list of elements includes not only those elements but also other elements not expressly listed, or elements inherent to such a process, method, article, or apparatus. Unless otherwise specified, an element defined by the phrase "comprising one..." does not exclude the presence of other identical elements in the process, method, article, or apparatus that includes that element. "A plurality of" means two or more.

[0029] Please refer to Figures 1 to 7 This application provides a cooking device, including a housing 10, a cooktop 30, and a panel assembly 20.

[0030] The housing 10 has a cooking cavity and a loading / unloading port 11 that are interconnected. The cooking cavity is used to hold food. The cooking cavity is connected to the loading / unloading port 11 so that food can be taken out of the cooking cavity through the loading / unloading port 11.

[0031] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 4 The panel assembly 20 is located above the pick-up and drop-off port 11 so that the panel assembly 20 is easy for the operator to operate and / or observe.

[0032] For example, such as Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, the cooktop 30 is located at the top of the housing 10. The cooktop 30 and the panel assembly 20 are separate structures. The top of the panel assembly 20 is arranged and connected to the cooktop 30 in the front-to-back direction. Different cooking appliances have different types of panel assemblies 20. The connection positions of the panel assembly 20 and the cooktop 30 in the front-to-back direction are different for different types of panel assemblies 20. For some cooking appliances, the connection position of the panel assembly 20 and the cooktop 30 is relatively forward, while for others, the connection position is relatively backward. Since the cooktop 30 and the panel assembly 20 are separate structures, and the top of the panel assembly 20 is arranged in the front-to-back direction with the cooktop 30, the front-to-back position of the cooktop 30 can be adjusted to match the different types of panel assemblies 20 of different cooking appliances.

[0033] In other words, the cooktop plate 30 of this application embodiment can adapt to different types of cooking devices, which helps to improve the versatility of the cooktop plate 30. Thus, only one mold needs to be made for the cooktop plate 30, and since the cooktop plate 30 is relatively large, making only one mold can greatly reduce mold-making costs, thereby reducing production costs.

[0034] Moreover, the top of the panel assembly 20 is connected to the stove plate 30, which makes the panel assembly 20 and the stove plate 30 firmly assembled, and can minimize the risk of the panel assembly 20 and the stove plate 30 being forced to separate or develop obvious gaps due to vibration during transportation.

[0035] It should be noted that the forward and backward directions are... Figure 1 The directions shown include both front-to-back and back-to-front directions. The up-down direction is... Figure 1 The directions shown include both top-down and bottom-up directions.

[0036] In some embodiments, the cooking apparatus further includes a heating device, which can be used to heat the cooking cavity or to directly heat the food. For example, the heating device may be a light wave tube disposed inside the cooking cavity; or, the heating device may be a burner or a heating plate disposed below the cooking cavity. As the cooking cavity is heated, the food inside is cooked by heat radiation or heat conduction. Food to be cooked is placed into the cooking cavity through the loading / unloading port 11, and cooked food can be removed through the loading / unloading port 11.

[0037] It should be noted that the cooking apparatus provided in this application includes, but is not limited to, electric ovens, gas ovens, steam ovens, etc.

[0038] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 6 The stovetop 30 is partially recessed to form a concave area 31, while the non-recessed area of ​​the stovetop 30 forms a retaining structure 32. The retaining structure 32 is discontinuous at the front of the stovetop 30, creating an opening. For example... Figure 2 and Figure 5 As shown, the panel assembly 20 is positioned at the opening, and both ends of the panel assembly 20 in the left-right direction are respectively connected to the enclosure structure 32. That is to say, the top of the panel assembly 20 and the enclosure structure 32 together form an enclosure for the recessed area 31, and the front end of the stove plate 30 does not need to be equipped with the enclosure structure 32, which helps to reduce the size of the stove plate 30 in the front-back direction and can reduce the manufacturing cost of the stove plate 30.

[0039] It should be noted that the left and right directions are as follows: Figure 1 The directions shown include both left-to-right and right-to-left directions.

[0040] In some embodiments, the highest portion 20a of the panel assembly 20 is flush with the upper surface 32a of the enclosure structure 32. This arrangement helps to improve the aesthetics of the cooking device.

[0041] For example, please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 6 The panel assembly 20 includes a step structure 24, which has a step surface 241. The front end of the cooktop 30 is supported on and connected to the step surface 241. By using the step structure 24 to connect the front end of the cooktop 30, the step structure 24 and the front end of the cooktop 30 can make full contact, thereby improving the assembly stability between the panel assembly 20 and the cooktop 30.

[0042] In some embodiments, the panel assembly 20 includes a panel body 21 and a side panel 22, the side panel 22 being located on the side of the panel body 21 facing the housing 10. That is, the panel body 21 is mounted to the housing 10 via the side panel 22, and the panel body 21 has an operation and / or display area for operation and / or observation by an operator. In this embodiment, one end of the stepped structure 24 is connected to the top of the side panel 22.

[0043] In some embodiments, the side panel 22 and the panel body 21 are integrally formed. By designing the panel body 21 and the side panel 22 as an integrally formed structure, the panel assembly 20 can be manufactured into a complete, seamless whole component through one-time molding, reducing the number of parts in the panel assembly 20, reducing assembly steps, and helping to reduce assembly costs. Moreover, only different panel assembly molds need to be made for different panel assemblies 20.

[0044] Furthermore, the panel assembly 20 is smaller than the cooktop 30. Compared to the panel assembly 20 and cooktop 30 being molded as a single piece, the cost of one panel assembly mold is far lower than the cost of one mold integrating the panel assembly and cooktop 30. When there are more than one type of panel assembly 20, since only one cooktop mold is needed, it helps reduce manufacturing costs. For example, if there are two types of panel assemblies 20, only two sets of panel assembly molds and one cooktop mold are needed. In contrast, products where the panel assembly and cooktop 30 are molded as a single piece require two sets of molds integrating the panel assembly and cooktop 30, thus saving at least one cooktop mold cost.

[0045] In some embodiments, the panel assembly 20 is a one-piece sheet metal part. One-piece sheet metal parts have high structural strength and rigidity, which helps to increase the structural stability of the panel assembly 20.

[0046] In some embodiments, such as Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the periphery of the bottom wall of the recessed area 31 has a pot rack support surface 311. The pot rack support surface 311 on the side near the panel assembly 20 is stacked on top of the step surface 241. The cooking device includes a first connector that passes through the pot rack support surface 311 and the step surface 241 to connect the pot rack support surface 311 and the step surface 241, thereby connecting the stove plate 30 and the panel assembly 20.

[0047] In some embodiments, the first connector is a screw, which provides strong fastening force to achieve a tight connection between the pot support surface 311 and the stepped surface 241, thereby improving the connection stability between the cooktop 30 and the panel assembly 20. It is understood that the first connector can also be a pin, rivet, etc.

[0048] In some embodiments, the cooking apparatus includes a pot rack 60, which is placed on a pot rack support surface 311. The pot rack 60 can shield the first connector, thereby improving the aesthetics of the cooking apparatus.

[0049] In some embodiments, the dimension of the cooktop 30 in the front-to-back direction is not less than the dimension of the housing 10 in the front-to-back direction. Please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 2 and Figure 5 The dimensions of the stovetop 30 along the front-to-back direction are a1. Please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 1 and Figure 4 The dimensions of the housing 10 along the front-to-back direction are a2, i.e., a1 ≥ a2. This design allows for the adaptation of different types of panel components 20 by moving the cooktop 30 back and forth, thus improving the versatility of the cooktop 30. Furthermore, the interconnected cooktop 30 and panel components 20 can conceal the top of the housing 10, enhancing the aesthetics of the cooking appliance.

[0050] For example, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 4 The rear end of the cooktop plate 30 extends beyond the rear surface of the housing 10. The cooking device includes a support 70, which is located on the rear side of the housing 10. The portion of the cooktop plate 30 extending beyond the housing 10 is supported on and connected to the support 70. The support 70 provides support and connection for the cooktop plate 30, allowing the cooktop plate 30 to be better fixed to the top of the housing 10. This minimizes the risk of the cooktop plate 30 being forced to separate from the housing 10 due to vibration or developing significant gaps during transportation.

[0051] It is understandable that in some embodiments, when the front surface of the cooktop 30 is flush with the front surface of the housing 10, a1 needs to be greater than a2 in order for the bracket 70 to provide support for the rear end of the cooktop 30.

[0052] In some embodiments, such as Figure 7 As shown, the cooktop 30 has multiple bracket mounting positions 33, which are arranged along the front-to-back direction so that the brackets 70 have different mounting positions along the front-to-back direction. This is because when the cooktop 30 is adapted to different panel assemblies 20, the junction position between the panel assembly 20 and the cooktop 30 will also be adjusted along the front-to-back direction. By setting different bracket mounting positions 33, the cooktop 30 can be fixed to different positions on the top of the housing 10 along the front-to-back direction, thereby helping to improve the versatility of the cooktop 30.

[0053] In some embodiments, the cooking apparatus includes a second connector for passing through the bracket 70 and the bracket mounting position 33 to connect the bracket 70 to the cooktop 30.

[0054] In some embodiments, the second connector is a screw, which provides strong fastening force to achieve a secure connection between the bracket 70 and the cooktop 30, thereby improving the connection stability between the cooktop 30 and the housing 10. It is understood that the second connector can also be a pin, rivet, etc.

[0055] It is understandable that when the cooktop 30 is adapted to different panel components 20, the dimensions of the bracket 70 in the front-to-back direction are also different. That is, the brackets 70 of different cooking devices are also different. Since the cooktop 30 has multiple bracket mounting positions 33 in the front-to-back direction, the cooktop 30 can also be adapted to different brackets 70, further improving the universality of the cooktop 30.

[0056] In some embodiments, the panel assembly 20 includes a connecting portion 25 located at the bottom of the side panel 22, the housing 10 includes a front panel 14, an opening 11 is located on the front panel 14, and the connecting portion 25 is used to connect to the front panel 14.

[0057] It is understandable that in some embodiments, such as Figure 3 As shown, multiple connecting portions 25 can be provided, with the multiple connecting portions 25 spaced apart in the left-right direction, and the multiple connecting portions 25 are used to connect with the front panel 14. In some embodiments, such as Figure 6 As shown, the connecting part 25 can extend in the left and right direction to form a flange, which is used to connect with the front plate 14.

[0058] In some embodiments, the cooking device includes a third connector that passes through the connector 25 and the front panel 14 to connect the connector 25 and the front panel 14, thereby securing the panel assembly 20 to the housing 10.

[0059] In some embodiments, the third connector is a screw, which provides strong fastening force to achieve a secure connection between the connector 25 and the front panel 14, thereby improving the connection stability between the housing 10 and the panel assembly 20. It is understood that the third connector can also be a pin, rivet, etc.

[0060] In some embodiments, the panel body 21 is tilted from top to bottom away from the housing 10. The tilted panel body 21 provides better operation and / or observation for the operator.

[0061] The following description will be based on two specific embodiments of this application.

[0062] In the first embodiment provided in this application, please refer to Figure 1The housing 10 includes two side panels 13 arranged in a left-right direction. The front edge of the side panel 13 forms a first mating boundary 26 with the panel assembly 20 in a front-back direction, and the front edge of the cooktop 30 forms a second mating boundary 27 with the panel assembly 20 in a front-back direction. The first mating boundary 26 and the second mating boundary 27 are staggered in a front-back direction. In this embodiment, the front end of the side panel 13 extends beyond the front surface of the cooktop 30, so that the top of the side panel 13 can provide support for the panel assembly 20.

[0063] In this embodiment, the front edge of the side panel 13 and the side enclosure 22 form a first mating boundary 26 along the front-back direction, and the front edge of the stove plate 30 and the side enclosure 22 form a second mating boundary 27 along the front-back direction. At this time, the top of the side panel 13 provides support for the side enclosure 22.

[0064] In this embodiment, the panel body 21 extends from the top of the side panel 22 to the bottom of the side panel 22. Since the top of the side panel 13 can provide support for the side panel 22, as long as the extension dimension of the top of the side panel 22 in the front-back direction does not exceed the front edge of the side panel 13, the angle between the panel body 21 and the height direction can be larger. This means that the panel body 21 tilts more from top to bottom away from the housing 10, making the panel body 21 easier for operators to handle. In other words, the further back the second mating boundary 27 is, the more it helps to increase the tilt of the panel body 21.

[0065] In the second embodiment provided in this application, please refer to Figure 4 The housing 10 includes two side panels 13 arranged in a left-right direction. The front edge of the side panel 13 forms a first mating boundary 26 with the panel assembly 20 in a front-back direction, and the front edge of the cooktop 30 forms a second mating boundary 27 with the panel assembly 20 in a front-back direction. The first mating boundary 26 and the second mating boundary 27 are located on the same plane. In this embodiment, the front edge of the side panel 13 is flush with the front edge of the cooktop 30, which helps to shorten the size of the cooking device in the front-back direction.

[0066] In this embodiment, the front edge of the side panel 13 and the side wall panel 22 form a first mating boundary 26 along the front-back direction, and the front edge of the stove plate 30 and the side wall panel 22 form a second mating boundary 27 along the front-back direction. The first mating boundary 26 and the second mating boundary 27 are located on the same plane, that is, the rear end of the side wall panel 22 has only one surface.

[0067] Furthermore, since the panel body 21 and the side panel 22 can be designed as an integral molding structure, and the rear end of the side panel 22 has only one surface, it helps to reduce the difficulty of mold making for the panel assembly 20.

[0068] By comparing the first and second embodiments, it can be found that although the types of panel assemblies 20 are different in the first and second embodiments, the cooktop 30 and the housing 10 can be shared. Specifically, on the assembly line of the cooking device of the second embodiment, during assembly, it is only necessary to move the cooktop 30 forward so that the front edge of the cooktop 30 is aligned with the front edge of the side panel 13, and the cooktop 30 and the housing 10 can then be used to adapt to the panel assembly 20 of the second embodiment. On the assembly line of the cooking device of the first embodiment, during assembly, the cooktop 30 is moved backward so that the front edge of the side panel 13 extends beyond the front edge of the cooktop 30, and the cooktop 30 and the housing 10 can then be used to adapt to the panel assembly 20 of the first embodiment. In other words, it is only necessary to adjust the position of the cooktop 30 in the front-back direction to adapt to the panel assembly 20 provided in the two embodiments of this application.

[0069] The assembly process of the cooking apparatus according to the embodiments of this application will be briefly described below.

[0070] Step S1: Align the front edge of the side panel 13 with the side panel 22, and pass the third connector through the connecting part 25 and the front panel 14 to achieve the connection between the connecting part 25 and the front panel 14.

[0071] Step S2: Place the stove plate 30 on the side plate 13, and make the front end of the stove plate 30 support the step surface 241.

[0072] Step S3: Pass the first connector through the pot support surface 311 and the step surface 241 to achieve the connection between the pot support surface 311 and the step surface 241.

[0073] Step S4: Install bracket 70 on the rear side of housing 10, and use the second connector to pass through bracket 70 and bracket mounting position 33 to connect bracket 70 with stove plate 30.

[0074] Step S5: Place the pot rack 60 on the pot rack support surface 311.

[0075] Based on the assembly steps described above, it is easy to see that although the models of the panel assembly 20 and the bracket 70 differ, the assembly steps for the cooking apparatus provided in the first embodiment and the cooking apparatus provided in the second embodiment are interchangeable. In other words, during assembly, it is only necessary to match the corresponding model of the panel assembly 20 and the bracket 70 according to the product type, which helps improve assembly efficiency. This can significantly reduce production costs for mass production.
