BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0020] In order to more clearly illustrate the technical solution of the present disclosure, the drawings required for use in the embodiments or the description of the prior art will be briefly introduced below. Obviously, the drawings described below are only some embodiments of the present disclosure. For ordinary technicians in this field, other drawings can be obtained based on these drawings without paying any creative work.

[0021] Figure 1 It is a schematic diagram of the structure of a cooking device provided according to the present disclosure. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0022] The following will be combined with the accompanying drawings to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present disclosure. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present disclosure, rather than all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present disclosure, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative work are within the scope of protection of the present disclosure.

[0023] like Figure 1 As shown, an embodiment of the present disclosure provides a cooking device, comprising a support body and a detachable food carrier (not shown), wherein the support body is used to support the food carrier. Optionally, the cooking device comprises a receiving cavity 1, and when cooking food, the food carrier carrying food is placed in the receiving cavity 1 and supported by the support body. In an alternative embodiment, the cooking device does not include a receiving cavity, and when cooking food, the food carrier carrying food is supported by the support body, and the heating component of the cooking device directly heats and cooks the food carrier and / or the food carried by the food carrier.

[0024] like Figure 1As shown, the cooking device is also provided with a power-on control module 2 and a switch circuit 3. The switch circuit 3 is electrically connected to the power-on control module 2. The switch circuit 3 is used to detect whether the food carrier is supported on the support body. The power-on control module 2 is used to control the cooking device to be in a power-on state or a standby state based on the detection result of the switch circuit 3. The power-on state indicates that the cooking device is operable. For example, a user can input cooking operation options through the operation panel of the cooking device, or send cooking information to the cooking device through a terminal such as a mobile phone or a tablet computer, so that the cooking device cooks according to the cooking information. The standby state indicates that the cooking device cannot perform cooking operations. Preferably, at least some sensors, heating components and fan components of the cooking device are not connected to a power source.

[0025] The on-off state of the switch circuit 3 changes according to whether the food carrier is supported on the support body, and the on-off state includes the on state, open circuit state and circuit parameter state of the switch circuit 3. When the food carrier is supported on the support body, the switch circuit 3 is in the first on-off state, and the first on-off state of the switch circuit 3 indicates that the food carrier is supported on the support body. The power-on control module 2 is used to control the cooking device to be in the power-on state based on the first on-off state. Therefore, when the user places the food carrier on the support body, the switch circuit 3 switches to the first on-off state, and the power-on control module 2 switches the cooking device to the power-on state based on the first on-off state of the switch circuit 3. After placing the food carrier, the user can directly perform cooking operations on the cooking device, such as selecting a desired cooking mode, adjusting the cooking temperature or adjusting the cooking time, etc.

[0026] When the food carrier is not supported on the support, the switch circuit 3 is in the second on-off state, and the second on-off state of the switch circuit 3 indicates that the food carrier is not supported on the support, and the power-on control module 2 is used to control the cooking device to be in the standby state based on the second on-off state. Therefore, if the food carrier is not supported on the support, the switch circuit 3 is in the second on-off state, and the power-on control module 2 controls the cooking device to be in the standby state based on the first on-off state of the switch circuit 3, and the user cannot perform cooking operations on the cooking device.

[0027] Therefore, the cooking device provided in the embodiment of the present disclosure can control the cooking device to be in the on state or the standby state based on whether the food carrier is supported on the support body, thereby achieving automatic power on, avoiding accidental power on or insensitive power on of the cooking device, and improving the convenience of user operation.

[0028] In an optional embodiment, the power-on control module 2 is also used to switch to a silent state based on a silent instruction, and the silent state indicates that the power-on control module 2 does not control the power-on state or standby state of the cooking device. Optionally, the silent instruction can be generated based on the cooking device mode or corresponding operation selected by the user.

[0029] In an optional embodiment, the cooking device further includes a movable part 4, and the movable part 4 is used to adjust the on-off state of the switch circuit 3. Specifically, the position of the movable part 4 is adjustable and can be moved to a first preset position or a second preset position. For the movable part 4 installed in the cooking device, when no additional force is applied to the movable part 4, the movable part 4 is located at the second preset position. For example, the movable part 4 is maintained at the second preset position by a preload component, a push component or a stretch component; there is a certain force between the food carrier supported on the support body and the movable part 4, and the movable part 4 is pushed by the food carrier to move to the first preset position. The movable part 4 located at the first preset position or the second preset position causes the conductive state of at least one element in the switch circuit 3 to change, thereby changing the on-off state of the switch circuit 3.

[0030] Specifically, when the food carrier is supported on the support body, the movable part 4 abuts against the food carrier, and the movable part 4 is located at a first preset position. The movable part 4 located at the first preset position adjusts the switch circuit 3 to a first on-off state. At this time, the power-on control module 2 controls the cooking device to be in a power-on state based on the first on-off state.

[0031] When the food carrier is not supported on the support body, the movable part 4 is located at a second preset position, and the movable part 4 located at the second preset position adjusts the switch circuit 3 to a second on-off state. At this time, the power-on control module 2 controls the cooking device to be in the power-on state based on the first on-off state.

[0032] In an optional embodiment, the switch circuit 3 includes a switchable element 5, and the movable part 4 can switch the switchable element 5 from an electrically connected state to a disconnected state, or switch the switchable element 5 from a disconnected state to an electrically connected state, thereby changing the on-off state of the switch circuit 3.

[0033] Specifically, the switchable element 5 is in an electrically connected state when the movable part 4 is located at the first preset position, and is in an disconnected state when the movable part 4 is located at the second preset position; or, the switchable element 5 is in an disconnected state when the movable part 4 is located at the first preset position, and is in an electrically connected state when the movable part 4 is located at the second preset position. Thus, when the movable part 4 is located at the first preset position or the second preset position, the switch circuit 3 corresponds to different on-off states.

[0034] In an optional embodiment, the switchable element 5 is a reed switch, and the movable part 4 includes a magnetic part. Exemplarily, when the movable part 4 is located at the first preset position, the magnetic part is close to the reed switch, the reed switch is closed and turned on under the magnetic field of the magnetic part, and the switch circuit 3 is correspondingly in the on state; when the movable part 4 is located at the second preset position, the magnetic part is far away from the reed switch, the reed switch is not affected by the magnetic field of the magnetic part, and is in the off state, and the switch circuit 3 is correspondingly in the open state.

[0035] In an alternative embodiment, when the movable part 4 is located at the first preset position, the magnetic part is far away from the reed switch, the reed switch is not affected by the magnetic field of the magnetic part, and is in a disconnected state, and the switch circuit 3 is correspondingly in an open state; when the movable part 4 is located at the second preset position, the magnetic part is close to the reed switch, the reed switch is closed and turned on under the action of the magnetic field of the magnetic part, and the switch circuit 3 is correspondingly in a turned-on state.

[0036] In an optional embodiment, the switch circuit 3 includes a conduction adjustment component, which is provided with a fixed electrical connector and a movable electrical connector, wherein the movable electrical connector can move relative to the fixed electrical connector and be electrically connected to or disconnected from the fixed electrical connector, and the movable electrical connector is relatively fixedly connected to the movable component 4, and the movable component 4 can drive the movable electrical connector to move and be electrically connected to or disconnected from the fixed electrical connector, so that the switch circuit 3 is correspondingly in a conduction state or an open state, thereby changing the on-off state of the switch circuit 3.

[0037] Exemplarily, when the movable part 4 is located at the first preset position, the movable electrical connection part is electrically connected to the fixed electrical connection part, and the switch circuit 3 is in an on state; when the movable part 4 is located at the second preset position, the movable electrical connection part is disconnected from the fixed electrical connection part, and the switch circuit 3 is in an open state.

[0038] In an optional embodiment, the movable member 4 is connected to a reset component 6, and the reset component 6 is used to apply a force to reset the movable member 4 from the first preset position to the second preset position. Specifically, when the movable member 4 is not subjected to the force applied by the food carrier, the movable member 4 is located at the second preset position under the action of the reset component 6, and when the food carrier is supported on the support body, the movable member 4 is subjected to the force applied by the food carrier and moves to the first preset position under the action of the food carrier. If the food carrier is removed from the cooking device, the movable member 4 is reset to the second preset position under the action of the reset component 6.

[0039] In an optional embodiment, the reset assembly 6 is a reset spring assembly, a torsion spring assembly, an elastic cavity assembly, an elastic support sheet assembly or an elastic elongated support assembly. The reset spring assembly can be set as a compression spring assembly or a tension spring assembly. The reset assembly 6 can also adopt other reset structures.

Exemplarily, when the cooking device is in a standby state, the cooking function buttons or the cooking function touch keys are not connected to a power source, and a user cannot perform any cooking operations, for example, selecting a desired cooking mode or adjusting a cooking temperature, etc., through the cooking function buttons or the cooking function touch keys.

[0041] In an optional embodiment, the operation panel includes a power button, and the power button is used to switch the cooking device to a power-on state or a standby state. Specifically, after the power connector of the cooking device is connected to a power source, the user switches the cooking device from the standby state to the power-on state, or switches the cooking device from the power-on state to the standby state, through the power button. In an alternative embodiment, the power button is located on the housing of the cooking device, and is configured as an independent key structure.

[0042] In an optional embodiment, the cooking device is configured as an oven, a steam oven, an air fryer or an electric rice cooker, and the food carrier is configured as a baking tray, a grill or a pot body.

[0043] Exemplarily, the cooking device is an oven or a steam oven, which includes a accommodating cavity and a support body, wherein the accommodating cavity constitutes a cooking cavity, and the food carrier is configured as a baking tray or a grill.
