Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of household kitchen appliances, in particular to a door body component and a steam oven comprising the same. Background Art

[0002] The steam ovens commonly used at present use a pull-down opening and closing door, which has a large impact force when opening and closing the door, easily causing the glass on the door to break and fall. At the same time, the high temperature generated inside the steam oven when in use will cause the temperature of the inner wall of the door to be high. When the door is open, when the user's body part enters the interior of the steam oven to take out the food in the cavity, there is a risk of the user being scalded by the inner wall of the door. Utility Model Content

[0003] The technical problem to be solved by the utility model is to overcome the defects of the prior art that the pull-down opening and closing door has a large impact force when opening and closing the door, and the user is easily scalded by the inner wall of the door, and to provide a door body assembly and a steam oven comprising the same.

[0004] The utility model solves the above technical problems through the following technical solutions:

[0005] The utility model provides a door body assembly for a steam oven, the door body assembly comprises a door body, and is characterized in that the door body assembly also comprises a guide rail, the guiding direction of the guide rail is parallel to the plane where the surface of the door body is located, and the bottom of the door body is slidably connected to the guide rail so that the door body moves along the guiding direction of the guide rail.

[0006] In the present solution, the guiding direction of the guide rail is parallel to the plane where the door surface is located, and the door moves along the guiding direction of the guide rail. In the door assembly arranged with this structure, the door is opened by translation. Therefore, it is not easy to generate potential impact force that may cause the door glass to break and be damaged. At the same time, the inner surface of the horizontally pushed door is not exposed, thereby preventing users from being scalded by contact with the inside of the door when using the steam oven.

[0007] Preferably, the door body has a front side and a back side in the thickness direction, and the door body assembly further comprises a locking mechanism, which is arranged on the back side and can be switched between a locked state and an unlocked state;

[0008] Wherein, when the locking mechanism is in the locking state, the door body is locked to limit the movement of the door body along the guiding direction of the guide rail, and when the locking mechanism is in the unlocking state, the door body can move along the guiding direction of the guide rail.

[0009] In the present solution, a locking mechanism is provided in the door body assembly, and the locking mechanism is provided on the reverse side of the door body, so as to prevent the door body from moving freely, making it difficult for the door body to remain in a closed state and leaving gaps when the door body is closed. The locking mechanism can be in a locked state to maintain a closed state, so as to prevent the door body from being easily opened during the steaming and baking process. At the same time, the locking mechanism can also be in an open state, and this state is used to enable the door body to be opened and closed horizontally.

[0010] Preferably, when the locking mechanism switches from the locked state to the unlocked state, the locking mechanism acts on the door body and causes it to move toward the front side of the door body.

[0011] In this solution, the door body is switched from a locked state to an unlocked state by moving toward the front direction of the door body, which is easy to operate. After the door body moves toward the front direction, the door body can exceed the original surface during subsequent horizontal movement, thereby avoiding the surface of adjacent objects, which is conducive to increasing the movement range and further facilitating users to take and put items.

[0012] Preferably, the door assembly further comprises a sliding portion, and the sliding portion is arranged at the bottom of the door body.

[0013] Wherein, when the locking mechanism is in the locking state, the sliding portion is separated from the guide rail;

[0014] When the locking mechanism is in the unlocking state, the sliding portion is slidably connected to the guide rail to drive the door body to move.

[0015] In this solution, a sliding part is provided at the bottom of the door body. When the locking mechanism is in a locked state, the sliding part is separated from the guide rail and cannot move along the guide direction of the guide rail. When the locking mechanism is in an unlocked state, the sliding part is directly slidably connected to the guide rail, so that the door body can move more easily along the guide direction of the guide rail. This solution has a simple structure and is easy to use.

[0016] Preferably, the door body assembly further comprises a liquid storage portion, wherein the liquid storage portion is arranged at the bottom of the door body, and the liquid storage portion has an upward opening.

[0017] In this solution, a liquid storage portion with an upward opening is provided at the bottom of the door body to collect condensed water formed when water vapor on the inner wall of the door body is cooled, thereby preventing the condensed water from flowing into the guide rail and causing water accumulation. At the same time, the condensed water is collected in the liquid storage portion for easier cleaning.

[0018] Preferably, the door body assembly further comprises a recessed portion, the recessed portion is located at the bottom of the door body, and the liquid storage portion matches the shape of the recessed portion;

[0019] And / or, the liquid storage portion is connected to the recessed portion by interference fit;

[0020] And / or, the bottom of the liquid storage portion does not extend out of the bottom of the door body.

[0021] In this solution, a recessed portion is provided at the bottom of the door body and a liquid storage portion of matching shape is provided, so that the liquid storage portion and the recessed portion can be integrated, and air and liquid leakage caused by gaps can be avoided. Since the liquid storage portion is directly installed in the recessed portion of the door body, there is no need to reserve space outside the door body to install the liquid storage portion, which is conducive to saving the internal space of the box body and improving space utilization. The liquid storage portion and the recessed portion are connected by an interference fit, so that the installation and removal of the liquid storage portion are simple and quick. The bottom of the liquid storage portion is set not to extend out of the bottom of the door body, so that the bottom of the door body does not have an additional protruding part due to the setting of the liquid storage portion, avoiding the influence of the liquid storage portion on the performance of the guide rail, and making the horizontal opening and closing process of the door body smoother.

[0022] Preferably, the door body assembly further comprises a guide portion, the guide portion is arranged on the door body, and a terminal end of the guide portion leads to the opening.

[0023] In this solution, a guide portion whose end leads to the opening of the liquid storage portion is provided to further prevent condensed water from flowing toward the guide rail below the door body, making the door body easier to clean.

[0024] Preferably, the liquid storage material is a thermally conductive material;

[0025] And, the material of the contact surface of the door body with the liquid storage part is a heat conductive material.

[0026] In this solution, the liquid storage part is made of heat-conductive material, which allows the liquid storage part to exchange heat with the hot air inside the steam oven, and further exchange heat with the condensed water, which is more conducive to the evaporation of the condensed water inside the liquid storage part. The contact surface of the door body with the liquid storage part is made of heat-conductive material, which allows the heat on the door body to be transferred to the liquid storage part, further accelerating the evaporation rate of the collected condensed water.

[0027] Preferably, the door assembly further comprises a handle, and the handle is arranged on the front side of the door body perpendicular to the horizontal plane;

[0028] And / or, the door body is disassembled by moving outwards of the guide rail along the guiding direction of the guide rail.

[0029] In this solution, a handle is provided on the door body to facilitate users to open the door. The handle provided perpendicular to the horizontal plane is more suitable for horizontally movable door bodies. The door body moves in the guiding direction of the guide rail until it leaves the guide rail, thereby realizing complete disassembly of the door body, which is conducive to using the internal space of the steam oven and cleaning the steam oven.

[0030] A steam oven is characterized in that the steam oven comprises a box body and the door body assembly as described above, the door body assembly is arranged at the opening of the box body, and the guide rail is arranged on the inner wall of the box body.

[0031] In this solution, the door assembly is applied to the opening of the box, and the guide rail is set on the inner wall of the box, so that the door body can be translated on the steam oven. When using the steam oven, the impact force generated when opening and closing the door is avoided, which may cause damage to the door glass, and the risk of users being scalded by the door is avoided.

[0032] The positive and progressive effects of the utility model are:

[0033] The guiding direction of the guide rail is parallel to the plane where the door body surface is located, and the door body moves along the guiding direction of the guide rail. In the door body assembly with this structure, the door body is opened by translation. Therefore, it is not easy to generate potential impact force that may cause the door body glass to break and be damaged. At the same time, the inner surface of the horizontally pushed door body is not exposed, which avoids the user from being scalded by touching the inside of the door body when using the steam oven.

[0039] A preferred embodiment is given below, and the present invention is described more clearly and completely in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0040] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the present embodiment provides a door body structure, which is used for a steam oven, and the door body assembly includes a door body 1 and a guide rail 2, the guiding direction of the guide rail 2 is parallel to the plane where the surface of the door body 1 is located, and the bottom of the door body 1 is slidably connected to the guide rail 2 to enable the door body 1 to move along the guiding direction of the guide rail 2. The door body 1 is opened by translation, and therefore, it is not easy to generate potential impact force that may cause glass breakage and damage of the door body 1. At the same time, the inner surface of the door body 1 pushed out horizontally is not exposed, thereby preventing users from being scalded by contact with the inside of the door body 1 when using the steam oven.

[0041] In this embodiment, the door body 1 has a front side and a back side in the thickness direction, and the door body assembly further includes a locking mechanism, which is arranged on the back side and can be switched between a locked state and an unlocked state;

[0042] When the locking mechanism is in the locked state, the door body 1 is locked to limit the movement of the door body 1 along the guide direction of the guide rail 2, and when the locking mechanism is in the unlocked state, the door body 1 can move along the guide direction of the guide rail 2. The locking mechanism is arranged on the reverse side of the door body 1, so as to avoid the phenomenon that the door body 1 is not easy to keep the closed state due to the free movement of the door body 1 and the door body 1 is easy to leave a gap when closed. The locking mechanism can be in the locked state to keep the closed state, so as to prevent the door body 1 from being easily opened during the steaming and baking process. At the same time, the locking mechanism can also be in the open state, which is used to open and close the door body 1 horizontally.

[0043] In this embodiment, when the locking mechanism switches from a locked state to an unlocked state, the locking mechanism acts on the door body 1 and causes it to move toward the front of the door body 1. The door body 1 switches from a locked state to an unlocked state by moving toward the front of the door body 1. The operation is simple. After the door body 1 moves toward the front, the door body 1 can exceed the original surface during subsequent horizontal movement, thereby avoiding adjacent objects, such as the surface of a cabinet, which is beneficial to increasing the movement stroke and further facilitating users to take and put items.

[0044] It should be noted that the present embodiment does not limit the specific structure of the locking mechanism, and any locking mechanism applicable to this in the prior art can be used, as long as it can meet the above-mentioned unlocking and locking requirements. For example, reference can be made to the locking mechanism in a vehicle with an automatic sliding door. In the present embodiment, the door body assembly also includes a sliding portion, which is arranged at the bottom of the door body 1, wherein when the locking mechanism is in a locked state, the sliding portion is separated from the guide rail 2; when the locking mechanism is in an unlocked state, the sliding portion is slidably connected to the guide rail 2 to drive the door body 1 to move, and the sliding portion is separated from the guide rail 2 when the locking mechanism is in a locked state and cannot move along the guide direction of the guide rail 2. When the locking mechanism is in an unlocked state, the sliding portion is directly slidably connected to the guide rail 2, so that the door body 1 can move along the guide direction of the guide rail 2 more easily. The present solution has a simple structure and is easy to use.

[0045] In other alternative embodiments, the sliding part and the guide rail 2 do not necessarily have to be connected by sliding, but can also be connected by adding balls to the guide rail 2 to form a rolling connection, as long as it can ensure that the sliding part can move smoothly on the guide rail 2 along the opening direction of the door body 1.

[0046] In other alternative embodiments, a motor may be added after the locking mechanism to push the door body 1 out in the thickness direction when started, thereby achieving automatic switching of the door body 1 between the locked state and the unlocked state.

[0047] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the door body assembly also includes a liquid storage portion 3, which is arranged at the bottom of the door body 1. The liquid storage portion 3 has an upward opening. The liquid storage portion 3 with an upward opening is arranged at the bottom of the door body 1 to collect condensed water formed when water vapor on the inner wall of the door body 1 is cooled, thereby preventing the condensed water from flowing to the guide rail 2 to generate water accumulation. At the same time, the condensed water is gathered in the liquid storage portion 3 for easier cleaning.

[0048] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the door body assembly also includes a recessed portion 11, and the recessed portion 11 is located at the bottom of the door body 1, and the liquid storage portion 3 matches the shape of the recessed portion 11. As a preferred arrangement, the liquid storage portion 3 is connected to the recessed portion 11 by an interference fit. As a preferred arrangement, the bottom of the liquid storage portion 3 does not extend out of the bottom of the door body 1. By providing the recessed portion 11 at the bottom of the door body 1 and providing the liquid storage portion 3 of matching shape, the liquid storage portion 3 and the recessed portion 11 can be integrated to avoid air and liquid leakage caused by gaps. Since the liquid storage portion 3 is directly installed in the recessed portion 11 of the door body 1, there is no need to reserve space outside the door body 1 to install the liquid storage portion, which is beneficial to saving the internal space of the box body and improving space utilization. The liquid storage part 3 is connected to the recessed part 11 by an interference fit, so that the installation and disassembly of the liquid storage part 3 are simple and quick, and the bottom of the liquid storage part 3 is set not to extend out of the bottom of the door body 1, so that the bottom of the door body 1 does not have an additional protruding part due to the setting of the liquid storage part 3, thereby avoiding the influence of the liquid storage part 3 on the performance of the guide rail 2, making the horizontal opening and closing process of the door body 1 smoother, and also hiding the liquid storage part 3 inside the door body 1.

[0049] In other alternative embodiments, the liquid storage portion 3 and the recessed portion 11 may not be connected by an interference fit, as long as the liquid storage portion 3 and the recessed portion 11 can remain connected or separated. For example, buckles and slots are respectively provided on the recessed portion 11 and the liquid storage portion 3 to enable a detachable connection.

[0050] In addition, in this embodiment, the bottom of the liquid storage portion 3 is arranged to be aligned with the bottom of the door body 1. In other alternative embodiments, the bottom of the liquid storage portion 3 may also be arranged to be retracted relative to the bottom of the door body 1, that is, to have a certain distance from the bottom of the main body 1. As for the specific size of the distance, there is no specific limitation here, and it can be set according to actual setting requirements.

[0051] Of course, in other alternative embodiments, if the door body 1 can be smoothly pushed out along the guide rail 2 , the bottom of the liquid storage portion 3 can protrude from the bottom of the door body 1 .

[0052] like Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the liquid storage portion 3 and the recessed portion 11 are both trapezoidal, and the recessed portion 11 runs through the door body 1, with a simple structure and easy disassembly and installation. In other alternative embodiments, the shapes of the liquid storage portion 3 and the recessed portion 11 are not limited, as long as the liquid storage portion 3 and the recessed portion 11 can cooperate with each other, for example, a rectangular liquid storage portion 3 or a non-through recessed portion 11 is provided.

[0053] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the door body assembly also includes a guide portion 4, which is arranged on the door body 1, and the end of the guide portion 4 leads to an opening. The guide portion 4 with the end leading to the opening of the liquid storage portion 3 further prevents condensed water from flowing to the guide rail 2 under the door body 1, making the door body 1 easier to clean.

[0054] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment, the guide portion 4 is a strip structure, which is protruded on the surface of the door body 1, and the condensed water flows into the liquid storage portion along the protrusion.

[0055] In other alternative embodiments, the guide portion 4 may not be a strip-shaped structure, as long as the condensed water on the door body 1 can be gathered to the opening of the liquid storage portion 3. For example, a groove is provided on the door body 1 as the guide portion 4, so that the condensed water is guided by its own surface tension to flow into the liquid storage portion 3 when passing through the groove.

[0056] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the material of the liquid storage part 3 is a heat-conducting material, which allows the liquid storage part 3 to exchange heat with the hot air inside the steam oven, and further exchange heat with the condensed water, which is more conducive to the evaporation of the condensed water inside the liquid storage part 3. The contact surface of the door body 1 with the liquid storage part 3 is a heat-conducting material, which can transfer the heat on the door body 1 to the liquid storage part 3, further accelerating the evaporation rate of the collected condensed water.

[0057] like Figure 1-3 As shown, the door body assembly also includes a handle 12, which is arranged perpendicular to the horizontal plane on the front side of the door body 1. The door body 1 is disassembled by moving outward of the guide rail 2 along the guiding direction of the guide rail 2. The handle 12 is arranged on the door body 1 for the convenience of users to open the door. The handle 12 arranged perpendicular to the horizontal plane is more suitable for the horizontally moving door body 1. The door body 1 moves in the guiding direction of the guide rail 2 until it leaves the guide rail 2, thereby realizing the complete disassembly of the door body 1, which is conducive to using the internal space of the steam oven and cleaning the steam oven.

[0058] In other alternative embodiments, other forms of handles may be provided, as long as they can facilitate the user to unlock or push out the door body 1 during use, such as providing a handle horizontally to the bottom surface or along a diagonal line.

[0059] like Figure 4As shown, the present embodiment also includes a steam oven, which includes a box body 5 and a door body assembly as described above, wherein the door body assembly is arranged at the opening of the box body 5, and the guide rail 2 is arranged on the inner wall of the box body 5, thereby realizing the translation of the door body 1 on the steam oven. When the steam oven is used, the impact force generated when opening and closing the door is avoided, which may cause damage to the glass of the door body 1, and the risk of the user being scalded by the door body 1 is also avoided.

[0060] like Figure 4 As shown, when the steam oven is opened, the door body 1 is first pulled out along the unlocking direction P1, the locking mechanism switches from the locked state to the unlocked state, and then the door body 1 is pushed out along the opening direction P2 or the opposite direction of the opening direction P2; when the steam oven is closed, the door body 1 is first pushed along the opening direction P2 or the opposite direction of the opening direction P2 to align the door body 1 with the locking mechanism, and then the door body 1 is pushed in the opposite direction of the unlocking direction P1 to switch the locking mechanism from the unlocked state to the locked state.

[0061] It should be noted that the above “pushing out the door body 1 along the opening direction P2 or in the opposite direction of the opening direction P2” means that: according to actual setting requirements, the door body assembly can be set to open the door by pushing the door body along the opening direction P2, or the door body assembly can be set to open the door by pushing the door body in the opposite direction of the opening direction P2. For a specific steam oven, the door body assembly can be set to open the door only when the door body is pushed along the opening direction P2, or the door body assembly can be set to open the door only when the door body is pushed in the opposite direction of the opening direction P2. Of course, the door body assembly can also be set to open the door when the door body is pushed along the opening direction P2 or in the opposite direction of the opening direction P2.

[0062] Among them, as a preferred setting method, in this embodiment, P1 corresponds to the inside and outside direction (width direction) of the steam oven, that is, the thickness direction of the door body 1; P2 is perpendicular to P1 and corresponds to the length direction of the steam oven.

[0063] Although the specific implementations of the utility model are described above, those skilled in the art should understand that this is only an example, and the protection scope of the utility model is defined by the attached claims. Those skilled in the art can make various changes or modifications to these implementations without departing from the principle and essence of the utility model, but these changes and modifications fall within the protection scope of the utility model.
