[0023] 4. As a preferred embodiment, a filter is provided in the box, and a plurality of air holes are provided on the bottom wall of the box, and the filter covers the plurality of air holes. By providing the filter, the oil can be adsorbed and the airflow passing through the box can be filtered and purified. Since the filter covers the plurality of air holes, the airflow flowing into the box can be fully purified before flowing out, thereby improving the filtering effect.

[0024] As a preferred embodiment of the present embodiment, the projections of the plurality of air holes on the horizontal plane are located within the projection range of the plurality of food residue collection holes on the horizontal plane. By making the food residue collection area relatively large and the air flow area relatively small, the residue falling from above can be received to the maximum extent, and at the same time, it is beneficial for the airflow after cooking to enter the box, reduce wind resistance, and ensure that the airflow passing through the box is better filtered and purified.

[0025] As a preferred embodiment of this embodiment, the bottom of the box is provided with an installation cavity for accommodating the filter, and the side wall of the installation cavity and the side wall of the box are enclosed to form a collection tank. On the one hand, the filter can be limited by the installation cavity to maintain its stability, and the filter is easy to disassemble and assemble, and is convenient for replacement. When the filter is taken out, the inside of the box can be cleaned, which is convenient for cleaning; on the other hand, the collection tank has a certain capacity space to accommodate more food residues and oil droplets, which can prevent the residue from overflowing from the gap between the box and the top cover, thereby improving the reliability of the food residue collector.

[0026] As a preferred embodiment of the present embodiment, a fan is provided on the outside of the cooking cavity, an opening connected to the fan is provided at the bottom of the cooking cavity, the food residue collector is overlapped at the opening, and the projections of the plurality of air holes on the horizontal plane are located within the projection range of the openings on the horizontal plane; in this embodiment, the airflow flowing out of the air holes can flow to the outside of the cooking cavity through the openings, and the setting of the openings is conducive to reducing wind resistance and improving the outflow efficiency of the airflow.

[0027] Alternatively, the bottom wall of the cooking cavity is provided with a plurality of air outlet holes corresponding to the air holes; in this embodiment, the airflow flowing out of the air holes flows out of the cooking cavity through the air outlet holes and is discharged through a plurality of small holes, which is conducive to noise reduction.

[0028] 5. As a preferred embodiment, an elastic member is provided between the cover body and the opening and closing member, and the elastic member is configured so that when the opening and closing member is pushed by an external force, the elastic member is compressed so that the opening and closing member moves to the first position, and when the external force is removed, the elastic member pushes the opening and closing member to move to the second position by its own elastic force. In this embodiment, the automatic sliding of the opening and closing member can be realized, which can free the user's hands and further improve the user experience; when the opening and closing member is pushed by an external force, it moves to the first position, at which time the food residue collection hole is opened, and the box body can collect food residues and oil droplets. At this time, the elastic member is in an elastic deformation state. When the external force is removed, the elastic potential energy stored in the elastic member can drive the opening and closing member to reset to the second position, so that the food residue collection hole is closed, and it is convenient for the user to take the food residue collector for cleaning.

[0029] 6. As a preferred embodiment, the cross-sectional area of ​​the through hole is not larger than the cross-sectional area of ​​the food residue collecting hole; this can prevent the through hole from being larger than the food residue collecting hole, causing part of the residue to fall on the cover body instead of falling into the box body. When the subsequent opening and closing parts move, the opening and closing parts may hit the residue on the cover body and may hinder the movement of the opening and closing parts, causing the opening and closing parts to get stuck. That is, by making the residue fall completely into the box body, it can ensure that the subsequent opening and closing parts can move smoothly and improve the movement efficiency.

[0030] The through hole and the food residue collection hole are both in the shape of long strips, and the extending directions of the through hole and the food residue collection hole are both perpendicular to the sliding direction of the opening and closing member. The use of a long strip hole structure can avoid the hole diameter being too small, causing the residue to be blocked in the hole, affecting the residue collection; and the extending directions of the through hole and the food residue collection hole are both perpendicular to the sliding direction of the opening and closing member, and the opening and closing member only needs to move a small distance to make the through hole and the food residue collection hole completely aligned or staggered, which can improve the efficiency of opening or closing the food residue collection hole and save the operation amount.

[0057] like Figures 1 to 16As shown, the present application provides a food baking appliance 200, comprising a body 20 and a cooking cavity 21 arranged in the body 20, wherein a cooking area is arranged in the cooking cavity 21, and a food residue collector 100 is arranged below the cooking area in the cooking cavity 21, wherein the food residue collector 100 comprises a box body 10 with an opening 101 at the top and a top cover arranged at the opening 101, wherein the top cover comprises a cover body 11 and an opening and closing member 12, wherein the cover body 11 is provided with a plurality of food residue collection holes 111 connected to the box body 10, wherein the projection of the cooking area on the horizontal plane is located within the projection area of ​​the plurality of food residue collection holes 111 on the horizontal plane, and the opening and closing member 12 can move between a first position and a second position relative to the cover body 11 to open and close the food residue collection holes 111.

[0058] The food baking utensil 200 of the present invention can solve the technical problem in the prior art that during the food cooking process, food residues, oil drops, etc. fall on the bottom of the cooking cavity 21, making it difficult for the user to clean. That is, a food residue collector 100 is used to collect the residues, which can prevent food residues and oil drops from contaminating the inside of the cooking cavity 21. The user only needs to clean the food residue collector 100. The operation is simple and low in difficulty, which can improve the user experience.

[0059] Furthermore, the projection of the cooking area on the horizontal plane is located within the projection area of ​​the multiple food residue collection holes 111 on the horizontal plane, so that the food residue can be effectively collected, and at the same time, the problem of residue splashing during the user's taking and moving the food residue collector 100 can be solved, that is, by adjusting the opening and closing member 12 to close the food residue collection hole 111, the box body 10 is in a closed state, and when the user takes the food residue collector 100, the internal food residue and oil droplets can be prevented from splashing onto the user or other places, and the unnecessary cleaning workload can be avoided, which is convenient and hygienic to use. Among them, the opening and closing member 12 controls the opening and closing of the food residue collection hole 111 by moving, which is simple to operate and efficient.

[0060] The cooking cavity 21 is provided with structures such as a frying basket and a baking cage to form a cooking area for cooking ingredients. The food residue collector 100 is arranged below the cooking area at a certain distance from the cooking area to prevent the residue from splashing back into the cooking area and to reduce the impact of the high temperature of the cooking area on the food residue collector 100.

[0061] The opening and closing member 12 can move in the horizontal direction or the vertical direction to realize movement relative to the cover body 11 to open and close the food residue collecting hole 111 , thereby enriching the layout and control methods of the opening and closing member 12 .

[0062] In the first embodiment, the opening and closing member 12 is arranged above the cover body 11 and is slidably connected to the cover body 11. The opening and closing member 12 is provided with a plurality of through holes 121. The opening and closing member 12 moves between a first position and a second position relative to the cover body 11 in a horizontal direction so that the through holes 121 and the food residue collection holes 111 are aligned and connected, and the through holes 121 and the food residue collection holes 111 are misaligned and blocked.

[0063] In this embodiment, when the through hole 121 is aligned and connected with the food residue collection hole 111, the residue can fall smoothly into the box body 10, which can prevent the residue from remaining on the opening and closing part 12 and the cover body 11. When cleaning, the user only needs to clean the inside of the box body 10, which is very convenient.

[0064] When in use, the opening and closing member 12 moves horizontally between the first position and the second position. The opening and closing member 12 can reciprocate to switch between the first position and the second position, so that when the food residue collection hole 111 is opened, the food residue and oil droplets are collected through the box body 10. When the food residue collection hole 111 is closed, the box body 10 is in a closed state. At this time, when the user takes the box body 10, the food residue and oil droplets inside can be prevented from splashing onto the user or other places, which can avoid adding unnecessary cleaning workload, and the use is convenient and hygienic. As shown in Figure 4 or Figure 6 As shown, when the opening and closing member 12 is in the first position, the through hole 121 and the food residue collection hole 111 are aligned and connected, the food residue collection hole 111 is in an open state, and the box body 10 is used to collect food residues and oil drops; Figure 5 or Figure 7 As shown, when the opening and closing member 12 is in the second position, the through hole 121 and the food residue collecting hole 111 are blocked by misalignment, and the food residue collecting hole 111 is in a closed state, which can solve the problem of residue splashing when the user takes the food residue collector 100.

[0065] The opening and closing member 12 can slide by manual operation of the user, or can slide automatically by driving other components, providing a variety of usage scenarios. In the manual operation mode, before the food baking utensil 200 starts working, the user pushes the opening and closing member 12 to the first position, and then places the food residue collector 100 to a suitable position, so that during the food cooking process, the food residue collector 100 can collect the residue; when the food baking utensil 200 finishes working or the food baking utensil 200 is idle, the user can first move the opening and closing member 12 to the second position to block the food residue collection hole 111, and then the user can take out the food residue collector 100 to avoid the residue splashing out, which is convenient for cleaning the food residue collector 100.

[0066] As a preferred embodiment of the present embodiment, the upper surface of the opening and closing member 12 is provided with a guide slope 123 inclined toward the through hole 121 in the circumferential direction of the through hole 121, so as to guide food residues to the through hole 121. Fig.10 As shown, by setting the guide slope 123, a guide is provided for food residues and oil droplets, so that they can quickly fall to the through hole 121 and fall into the box body 10 for collection, thereby preventing food residues and oil droplets from remaining on the opening and closing member 12, thereby improving the collection efficiency.

[0067] In a second embodiment, the opening and closing member 12 is disposed below the cover body 11, and the opening and closing member 12 is provided with a through hole 121 which is staggered with the food residue collection hole 111. The opening and closing member 12 moves between a first position and a second position in a vertical direction relative to the cover body 11 to open and close the food residue collection hole 111.

[0068] In this embodiment, the food residue collection hole 111 is opened and closed by moving the opening and closing member 12 up and down, so as to facilitate the collection of food residues. It is understandable that the opening and closing member 12 can be moved in the vertical direction by manual operation or driven by other structures to move and automatically reset, which is set according to actual needs.

[0069] It is understandable that, in addition to the above-mentioned method in which the opening and closing member 12 moves in the horizontal direction or the vertical direction to open and close the food residue collection hole 111, the opening and closing member 12 and the cover body 11 also have other arrangements, so that the opening and closing member 12 can also be moved in other ways to open and close the food residue collection hole 111. For example, in the third embodiment, the opening and closing member 12 is arranged in the form of a shutter, the opening and closing member 12 is arranged in the food residue collection hole 111, the two ends of the opening and closing member 12 are respectively connected to the hole wall of the food residue collection hole 111, and the opening and closing member 12 realizes the opening and closing of the food residue collection hole 111 by flipping. Alternatively, in the fourth embodiment, the opening and closing member 12 is arranged below the cover body 11, the opening and closing member 12 is hingedly connected to the cover body 11, and the opening and closing member 12 realizes the opening and closing of the food residue collection hole 111 by flipping.

[0070] Based on the above-mentioned various embodiments of moving the opening and closing member 12 to open and close the food residue collection hole 111, further, as a preferred embodiment, a filter member 104 is provided in the box body 10, and a plurality of air holes 103 are provided on the bottom wall of the box body 10, and the filter member 104 covers the plurality of air holes 103.

[0071] like Figure 6 or Figure 7As shown, by setting the filter element 104, it can absorb oil and filter and purify the airflow passing through the box 10. Since the filter element 104 covers multiple air holes 103, it can ensure that the airflow flowing into the box 10 is fully purified before flowing out, thereby improving the filtering effect.

[0072] Furthermore, in one embodiment, the projections of the plurality of air holes 103 on the horizontal plane are located within the projection range of the plurality of food residue collecting holes 111 on the horizontal plane.

[0073] like Figure 6 or Figure 7 As shown, by making the food residue collection area relatively large and the wind passing area relatively small, the residue dropped from above can be received in the largest range, while facilitating the airflow after cooking to enter the box, reducing wind resistance and ensuring that the airflow passing through the box is better filtered and purified.

[0074] Furthermore, in one embodiment, a mounting cavity 105 for accommodating the filter element 104 is provided at the bottom of the box body 10 , and a collecting groove 106 is formed between the side wall of the mounting cavity 105 and the side wall of the box body 10 .

[0075] like Figure 6 or Figure 7 As shown, on the one hand, the filter element 104 can be limited by the installation cavity 105 to maintain its stability, and the filter element 104 is easy to disassemble and assemble, and is convenient for replacement. When the filter element 104 is taken out, the inside of the box body 10 can be cleaned, and the cleaning is convenient; on the other hand, the collection groove 106 has a certain capacity space to accommodate more food residues and oil droplets, which can prevent the residues from overflowing from the gap 16 between the box body 10 and the top cover, thereby improving the reliability of the food residue collector 100.

[0076] Furthermore, in one embodiment, a fan is provided on the outside of the cooking cavity 21, an opening 24 connected to the fan is provided at the bottom of the cooking cavity 21, the food residue collector 100 is overlapped at the opening 24, and the projections of the plurality of air holes 103 on the horizontal plane are located within the projection range of the opening 24 on the horizontal plane.

[0077] like Fig.15As shown, a large opening 24 is provided at the bottom of the cooking cavity 21, and a concave air duct bottom plate is provided below the opening 24, for example, and an air outlet duct 25 is formed in the air duct bottom plate. When the food baking appliance 200 is working, the airflow in the cooking cavity 21 flows into the food residue collector 100 and then flows out from the air hole 103 after being filtered, and then the airflow flows out of the cooking cavity 21 along the air outlet duct 25 under the action of the fan to participate in the next air flow cycle. The food residue collector 100 can be overlapped at the opening 24, at which time the lower end of the box body 10 is embedded in the concave air outlet duct 25 (the bottom of the box body 10 is suspended), or, in other examples, the food residue collector 100 is supported on the step surface outside the opening 24, and a support plate is also provided in the middle of the air outlet duct 25 to strengthen the support of the box body 10. In this embodiment, the airflow flowing out of the air hole 103 can flow to the outside of the cooking cavity 21 through the opening 24. The provision of the opening 24 is conducive to reducing wind resistance and improving the outflow efficiency of the airflow.

[0078] To achieve air circulation, in addition to the above-mentioned method, in other embodiments, the bottom wall of the cooking cavity 21 is provided with a plurality of air outlet holes 26 corresponding to the air holes 103 .

[0079] like Fig.16 As shown, in this embodiment, the food residue collector 100 is supported on the bottom wall of the cooking cavity 21, and the airflow flowing out of the air hole 103 flows out of the cooking cavity 21 through the air outlet hole 26, and the air is discharged through multiple small holes, which is conducive to noise reduction.

[0080] In order to further optimize the structure of the food residue collector 100, other structures of the food residue collector 100 are further described below based on the setting position and movement mode of the opening and closing member 12 in the first embodiment described above.

[0081] The food residue collector 100 includes a sliding structure, which is arranged between the cover body 11 and the opening and closing member 12. The opening and closing member 12 moves between a first position and a second position relative to the cover body 11 in a horizontal direction through the sliding structure, so that the through hole 121 and the food residue collection hole 111 are aligned and connected, and the through hole 121 and the food residue collection hole 111 are misaligned and blocked.

[0082] The sliding structure may be a common structure in which a slider cooperates with a slide groove, or may be a structure in which a guide column 14 cooperates with a slide hole 13 , and is configured according to actual needs.

[0083] As a preferred embodiment of the present application, the sliding structure includes a sliding hole 13 arranged on the cover body 11 and a guide column 14 arranged on the opening and closing member 12 and extending toward the cover body 11. The extension direction of the sliding hole 13 is the same as the sliding direction of the opening and closing member 12. The guide column 14 extends into the sliding hole 13 and slides along the length direction of the sliding hole 13.

[0084] The structure of the guide column 14 and the sliding hole 13 is simple. The opening and closing member 12 slides along the length direction limited by the sliding hole 13. Since a clear sliding route is defined, the sliding can be smoother. The open space of the sliding hole 13 can prevent the opening and closing member 12 from sliding and getting stuck, which can ensure smooth sliding and help improve sliding efficiency.

[0085] Specifically, the length of the slide hole 13 is greater than or equal to the unidirectional movement distance of the opening and closing member 12. For example, in one embodiment, when the guide post 14 moves from one end of the slide hole 13 to the other end, the opening and closing member 12 reaches the first position, and then when the guide post 14 returns to one end of the slide hole 13, the opening and closing member 12 resets to return to the second position. In order to strengthen the movement guidance of the opening and closing member 12, as Figure 2 , Figure 3 or Fig.12 As shown, the opening and closing member 12 is provided with two spaced guide posts 14 at the edge of each long side along the length direction, and correspondingly, the cover body 11 is provided with a corresponding number of sliding holes 13 at corresponding positions.

[0086] Furthermore, the sliding structure also includes a fastener 15, which is inserted into the guide column 14 from the bottom of the guide column 14. The height of the guide column 14 is greater than the wall thickness of the sliding hole 13 so that a gap 16 is formed between the fastener 15 and the cover body 11 along the vertical direction.

[0087] Specifically, Figure 2 , Figure 8 , Fig. 9 or Fig.10 As shown, the guide column 14 is hollow inside, so that the opening and closing member 12 and the cover body 11 can be fixed axially by fasteners 15 such as screws to prevent the opening and closing member 12 from being separated from the cover body 11 and causing inconvenience in use. When assembling, the opening and closing member 12 and the cover body 11 are first fixed into an integral part, and then installed with the box body 10. Fig. 9 As shown, the screw head of the screw does not contact the lower surface of the cover body 11, which can avoid the friction between the fastener 15 and the lower surface of the cover body 11 during the sliding of the opening and closing member 12, causing abnormal noise, increased wear and jamming, and ensure that the opening and closing member 12 slides smoothly, which is beneficial to improving the sliding efficiency.

[0088] In order to realize the automatic sliding and resetting of the opening and closing member 12 , an elastic structure may be provided between the opening and closing member 12 and the cover body 11 to provide a power source for resetting the opening and closing member 12 .

[0089] As a preferred embodiment, an elastic member 17 is provided between the cover body 11 and the opening and closing member 12, and the elastic member 17 is configured so that when the opening and closing member 12 is pushed by an external force, the elastic member 17 is compressed so that the opening and closing member 12 moves to a first position, and when the external force is removed, the elastic member 17 pushes the opening and closing member 12 to a second position by means of its own elastic force.

[0090] like Fig.12 and Fig.13 As shown, the elastic member 17 is, for example, a tension spring, one end of which is fixed to the opening and closing member 12 by a screw, and the other end is fixed to the cover body 11 by a screw. When the opening and closing member 12 is pushed by an external force, the opening and closing member 12 reaches the first position, at which time the tension spring is in an elastic deformation state. Subsequently, when the external force is removed, the tension spring can drive the opening and closing member 12 to return to the second position under the action of its own elastic force, so that when the user takes the food residue collector 100, no residue will splash.

[0091] In one embodiment, a push rod 122 extending outward is provided at one end of the opening and closing member 12 , the cover body 11 is provided with a concave slide groove 112 for guiding the push rod 122 , and a notch 102 is provided on the top of the box body 10 to avoid the slide groove 112 .

[0092] like Fig.14 As shown, one side of the machine body 20 is provided with an entrance 22 and a door assembly 23 arranged at the entrance 22. The lower end of the door assembly 23 is rotatably connected to the machine body 20 so that the door assembly 23 can be flipped open and closed, providing conditions for the food residue collector 100 and food materials to enter and exit the cooking cavity 21. When in use, when the food residue collector 100 is placed in the cooking cavity 21, the door assembly 23 can push the push rod 122 to drive the opening and closing member 12 to move during the closing process of the door assembly 23. When the door assembly 23 is closed in place, the opening and closing member 12 reaches the first position, at which time the food residue collection hole 111 is fully opened. Thereafter, the box body 10 can be used to collect residues during the food cooking process. After cooking is finished, during the opening process of the door assembly 23, the opening and closing member 12 can be reset and moved to the second position under the action of the elastic member 17, so that the food residue collection hole 111 is closed, which can prevent the residue from splashing when the user takes the food residue collector 100. This mode is conducive to freeing the user's hands and reducing the user's operation.

[0093] like Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Fig.12As shown, the slide groove 112 can avoid the push rod 122 to avoid interference with the push rod 122 on the one hand, and can provide a movement guide for the push rod 122 on the other hand, so as to avoid the push rod 122 from being deflected during the movement, causing the opening and closing member 12 to be deflected and affecting the alignment of the through hole 121 and the food residue collection hole 111, thereby improving the stability of the movement of the opening and closing member 12; in addition, the notch 102 can avoid the slide groove 112, so that the cover body 11 and the box body 10 are adapted to each other in appearance, and the structure is compact and beautiful.

[0094] As a preferred embodiment of the present application, a positioning structure is provided between the cover body 11 and the opening and closing member 12 for limiting the horizontal movement of the opening and closing member 12 after reaching the first position and the second position.

[0095] By setting a positioning structure, the opening and closing member 12 can be locked with the help of the positioning structure after reaching the first position and the second position to prevent the opening and closing member 12 from continuing to move, so that the food residue collection hole 111 can be stably maintained in the open state or the closed state.

[0096] In one embodiment, the positioning structure includes a ball 18 arranged on the cover body 11 and a groove arranged on the opening and closing member 12, the groove includes a first groove 191 and a second groove 192 arranged at intervals along the sliding direction of the opening and closing member 12, and the opening and closing member 12 moves in a horizontal direction relative to the cover body 11 to make the ball 18 slide into the first groove 191 or the second groove 192.

[0097] Specifically, Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Fig. 9 or Fig.10 As shown, when the bead 18 slides into the first groove 191, the opening and closing member 12 reaches the first position, and the food residue collection hole 111 is opened. The box body 10 does not need to worry about the opening and closing member 12 moving and causing the food residue collection hole 111 to close during the residue collection process. Similarly, when the bead 18 slides into the second groove 192, the opening and closing member 12 reaches the second position, and the food residue collection hole 111 is closed. The user can take the box body 10 without worrying about the opening and closing member 12 moving and causing the food residue collection hole 111 to suddenly open and cause the dirty dirt in the box body 10 to splash out. The stability of the opening and closing member 12 in the first position and the second position can be enhanced, and the reliability of use can be improved. For the method in which the user manually pushes and pulls the opening and closing member 12, the bead 18 can also slide into the groove to provide the user with a sense of being in place, prompting the user that the opening and closing member 12 has moved into place, thereby improving the user's experience. Of course, in the movement mode in which the opening and closing member 12 is moved by external force and automatically resets with the help of the elastic member 17, the positioning structure can also be used to enhance the stability after it is in place.

[0098] Furthermore, the ball bearing 18 includes a ball bearing body 181 with external threads, a spring 182 and a steel ball 183, the ball bearing body 181 is provided with an axial hollow cavity 185, the top of the hollow cavity 185 is provided with a mounting port 184, the spring 182 is fixed in the hollow cavity 185, the steel ball 183 is floatingly arranged between the spring 182 and the mounting port 184 and the upper end of the steel ball 183 extends out of the mounting port 184; the cover body 11 is provided with a stud 113, and the ball bearing 18 is fixed in the stud 113.

[0099] like Fig. 9 and Fig.11 As shown, the overall structure of the ball bearing 18 of the present application, compared with the general structure of a spring 182 plus a steel ball 183 (in this case, the cover body 11 needs to be provided with an additional structure to fix the spring 182), can be conveniently installed with the cover body 11, and the height of the upper end steel ball 183 can be adjusted by adjusting the depth of the ball bearing 18 being screwed into the stud 113, so that the steel ball 183 and the groove can better cooperate to optimize the limiting effect.

[0100] As a preferred embodiment of the present application, a plurality of guide protrusions 114 arranged at intervals are provided on the outer side wall of the cover body 11 along the circumferential direction, and the guide protrusions 114 cooperate with the inner side wall gaps 16 of the box body 10 .

[0101] like Figure 3 As shown, during the installation of the cover body 11 and the box body 10, the guide protrusion 114 can play a role in alignment and guide the cover body 11 to align with the box body 10 for closing. Compared with the way in which the outer wall of the cover body 11 contacts the inner wall of the box body 10 with a large area, the use of the guide protrusion 114 can reduce the contact area during alignment. On the one hand, it can reduce wear, and on the other hand, it can prevent assembly errors from causing unsmooth installation, which is conducive to providing reliable assembly and improving assembly efficiency. When the cover body 11 is closed in place, the guide protrusion 114 cooperates with the inner wall gap 16 of the box body 10, so that during the use of the food residue collector 100, the cover body 11 has a movement margin space in the front and rear directions and the left and right directions, which can avoid the cover body 11 and the box body 10 from colliding, friction increasing noise, and causing deformation to reduce the service life of the structure.

[0102] As a preferred embodiment of the present application, the periphery of the cover body 11 is provided with an outwardly protruding outer flange 115 , and the outer flange 115 is overlapped on the top wall of the box body 10 .

[0103] like Figure 3 or Figure 8As shown, the outer flange 115 can enhance the sealing effect of the top opening 24 of the box body 10. The opening 24 is within the range of the outer flange 115, which can ensure that the cover body 11 always closes the box body 10 and prevents the dirt in the box body 10 from overflowing or splashing. Furthermore, the cover body 11 is provided with a sunken accommodating cavity 116 on the inner side of the outer flange 115, and the opening and closing member 12 is arranged in the accommodating cavity 116.

[0104] Furthermore, in one embodiment, the cross-sectional area of ​​the through hole 121 is not larger than the cross-sectional area of ​​the food residue collecting hole 111; this can prevent the through hole 121 from being larger than the food residue collecting hole 111, causing part of the residue to fall on the cover body 11 instead of falling into the box body 10. When the subsequent opening and closing member 12 moves, the opening and closing member 12 may hit the residue on the cover body 11, which may hinder the movement of the opening and closing member 12 and cause the opening and closing member 12 to be stuck. That is, by allowing the residue to fall completely into the box body 10, the subsequent opening and closing member 12 can be ensured to move smoothly, thereby improving the movement efficiency.

[0105] Furthermore, in one embodiment, the through hole 121 and the food residue collection hole 111 are both in the shape of a long strip, and the extending directions of the through hole 121 and the food residue collection hole 111 are both perpendicular to the sliding direction of the opening and closing member 12. The use of a long strip hole structure can prevent the residue from being blocked in the hole due to the small hole diameter, thereby affecting the collection of residue; and the extending directions of the through hole 121 and the food residue collection hole 111 are both perpendicular to the sliding direction of the opening and closing member 12, and the opening and closing member 12 only needs to move a small distance to completely align or stagger the through hole 121 and the food residue collection hole 111, thereby improving the efficiency of opening or closing the food residue collection hole 111 and saving the amount of operation.

[0106] The technical solution protected by the present utility model is not limited to the above-mentioned embodiments. It should be pointed out that the combination of the technical solution of any embodiment with the technical solution of one or more other embodiments is within the protection scope of the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail above with general descriptions and specific embodiments, it is obvious to those skilled in the art that some modifications or improvements can be made to it based on the present utility model. Therefore, these modifications or improvements made without departing from the spirit of the present utility model are within the scope of protection claimed by the present utility model.
