Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present application relates to the field of household electrical appliances, and in particular to cooking equipment. Background Art
[0002] Cooking equipment, such as a steam-bake combination machine, usually uses an outward-opening door, that is, the bottom of the door is hinged to the inner pot, and the top space of the door gradually expands when the door is opened. When the cooking equipment is taking in and placing ingredients, the door opens outward and hovers. Since the protruding part of the door is relatively large at this time, the user needs to reach into the cooking space from the side of the cooking equipment to clean and take out ingredients, causing inconvenience in operation. In addition, since the top of the door is the first part that connects the cooking space to the outside when the outward-opening door is opened, the high-temperature steam in the cooking space will be discharged from the top of the door at the moment the door is opened. In order to facilitate operation, the cooking equipment is usually installed at a height lower than the user, and the high-temperature steam discharged from the top of the door will spray directly at the user, posing a safety hazard.

[0028] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2 , Figure 1 and Figure 2 A structural schematic diagram of a cooking device 100 in an embodiment of the present application is shown. A cooking device 100 is provided in an embodiment of the present application. In this embodiment, the cooking device 100 is described as an all-in-one steam-bake machine. In other embodiments, the cooking device 100 may also be a steamer, an oven, etc.
[0029] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the cooking device 100 includes an inner pot 110 and a door body 120. Figure 1 As shown, the inner pot 110 includes a cooking cavity 111 with an opening 112. The cooking cavity 111 is used to cook food. During the cooking process, the cooking cavity 111 will generate a large amount of high-temperature water vapor. The door body 120 is connected to the inner pot 110 and has a Figure 1 The open position shown and Figure 2 In the closed position shown, the door body 120 rotates between the open position and the closed position. Figure 2 As shown, when the door body 120 is in the closed position, the door body 120 covers the cooking cavity 111. Figure 1 As shown, when the door body 120 is in the open position, the door body 120 is laterally offset relative to the inner pot 110 so that the projection of the door body 120 on the plane where the opening 112 is located does not overlap with the opening 112 at least partially. At this time, the length of the door body 120 protruding from the inner pot 110 after opening is smaller than that of the door body 120 that opens outwards, so that the user who is located in the square of the cooking device 100 can also directly reach into the cooking cavity 111 to clean or take and place food, thereby facilitating operation. At the same time, at the moment of opening the door, the high-temperature steam in the cooking cavity 111 is discharged from the side of the door body 120 instead of spraying directly upward toward the user, thereby avoiding the safety hazard of scalding the user. It is understandable that the door body 120 can be offset to the left or right relative to the inner pot 110. In this application, the door body 120 is as follows: Figure 1 The door body 120 shown is offset to the left relative to the inner container 110 for illustration only and is not intended to be limiting.
[0030] like Figures 3 to 5 As shown, in one embodiment, the cooking device 100 includes a transmission member 130, and both ends of the transmission member 130 are rotatably connected to the inner pot 110 and the door body 120 respectively, and the rotation axes at both ends of the transmission member 130 are vertically arranged, so that when the door body 120 moves between the open position and the closed position, the transmission member 130 can rotate with the door body 120 relative to the inner pot 110, and at the same time, the transmission member 130 can limit the rotation range of the door body 120, so that the door body 120 rotates around the end of the transmission member 130 connected to the inner pot 110 with the length of the transmission member 130 as a radius.
[0031] like Figures 3 to 5 As shown, in one embodiment, one end of the transmission member 130 is rotatably connected to the side wall of the cooking cavity 111, and the other end is rotatably connected to the end surface of the door body 120 facing the cooking cavity 111, as shown in FIG. Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, when the door body 120 is in the open position, the transmission member 130 at least partially extends out of the cooking cavity 111. Figure 5 As shown, when the door body 120 is located at the closed position, the transmission member 130 is located inside the cooking cavity 111 .
[0032] In other embodiments, the transmission member 130 may be connected to the outer wall of the inner pot 110 at one end and to the end face of the door body 120 facing away from the cooking cavity 111, i.e., the outer end face, at which time the door body 120 may also be opened sideways.
[0033] like Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, in one embodiment, the cooking device 100 includes a first connecting rod 140 connected to the inner pot 110, the first connecting rod 140 is arranged vertically, and the end of the transmission member 130 away from the door body 120 is sleeved on the first connecting rod 140 and can rotate relative to the first connecting rod 140 to realize the rotational connection between the transmission rod and the first connecting rod 140.
[0034] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, in one embodiment, the cooking device 100 includes a second connecting rod 150 connected to the door body 120, the second connecting rod 150 is arranged vertically, and the end of the transmission member 130 away from the inner pot 110 is sleeved on the second connecting rod 150 and can rotate relative to the second connecting rod 150 to realize the rotational connection between the transmission rod and the second connecting rod 150.
[0035] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, in one embodiment, the transmission member 130 includes a first section 131 and a second section 132 connected and arranged at an angle, the first section 131 is rotatably connected to the inner container 110, and the second section 132 is rotatably connected to the door body 120, as shown in FIG. Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, when the door body 120 is in the open position, the second section 132 extends out of the cooking cavity 111, so that when the transmission member 130 rotates relative to the inner pot 110, the angle range in which the transmission member 130 can rotate relative to the inner pot 110 is expanded compared to when the transmission member 130 is a straight rod, thereby increasing the offset distance of the door body 120 relative to the opening 112, so as to make it easier to take and put food in the cooking cavity 111.
[0036] In one embodiment, the angle between the first section 131 and the second section 132 is an obtuse angle, so as to further expand the angle range in which the transmission member 130 can rotate relative to the inner pot 110, thereby increasing the offset distance of the door body 120 relative to the opening 112, so as to facilitate the removal and placement of ingredients in the cooking cavity 111.
[0037] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, in one embodiment, the first section 131 is an outwardly convex arc structure, and when the door body 120 is in the open position, the second section 132 and at least a portion of the first section 131 extend out of the cooking cavity 111 to further expand the angle range in which the transmission member 130 can rotate relative to the inner pot 110, thereby increasing the offset distance of the door body 120 relative to the opening 112, so as to make it easier to take and put food in the cooking cavity 111.
[0038] like Figures 3 to 5As shown, in one embodiment, the cooking device 100 also includes a guide member 160, both ends of which are rotatably connected to the inner pot 110 and the door body 120, respectively. The rotation axes at both ends of the guide member 160 are vertically arranged, and the rotation axis of the guide member 160 and the rotation axis of the transmission member 130 are not coaxially arranged, so that the guide member 160 and the transmission member 130 jointly define the position of the door body 120 in the open position and the closed position. In this embodiment, the transmission member 130 is used to drive the door body 120 to rotate as a whole relative to the inner pot 110, and the guide member 160 is used to drive the door body 120 to rotate around the rotation axis of the transmission member 130 connected to the door body 120, so as to adjust the angle of the door body 120, so as to avoid a gap between the inner pot 110 and the door body 120 due to the uncertain angle of the door body 120 when the transmission member 130 drives the door body 120 to close. In this embodiment, the transmission member 130 is connected to the center position of the door body 120, and the guide member 160 is connected to the end of the door body 120 opposite to the offset direction, that is, in this embodiment, the guide member 160 is connected to the right end of the door body 120.
[0039] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, in one embodiment, the guide member 160 is located outside the cooking cavity 111 , and one end of the guide member 160 is connected to the bottom surface of the inner pot 110 , and the other end is connected to the bottom surface of the door body 120 .
[0040] In the above scheme, by setting the door body 120 to be laterally offset relative to the inner pot 110 when in the open position, the length of the door body 120 protruding from the inner pot 110 after opening is smaller than that of the door body 120 that opens outwards, so that the user who is located in the square of the cooking device 100 can directly reach into the cooking cavity 111 to clean or take and place ingredients, thereby facilitating operation; and by the door body 120 moving laterally relative to the inner pot 110 from the closed position to the open position, the high-temperature steam in the cooking cavity 111 is discharged from the side of the door body 120 at the moment of opening the door, instead of spraying directly upward toward the user, thereby avoiding the safety hazard of scalding the user.
[0041] The technical features of the above-described embodiments may be arbitrarily combined. To make the description concise, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above-described embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.
[0042] The above-described embodiments only express several implementation methods of the present application, and the descriptions thereof are relatively specific and detailed, but they cannot be construed as limiting the scope of the patent application. It should be pointed out that, for a person of ordinary skill in the art, several variations and improvements can be made without departing from the concept of the present application, and these all belong to the protection scope of the present application. Therefore, the protection scope of the patent application shall be subject to the attached claims.
