DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS

[0027] The following embodiments illustrate the present utility model, but the present utility model is not limited by these embodiments. Modifying the specific implementation manners of the present utility model or making equivalent replacements for some technical features without departing from the spirit of the solution of the present utility model shall be covered within the scope of the technical solution claimed by the present utility model.

[0028] Embodiment 1

[0029] Reference Figures 1-5 , this embodiment provides a cooking device, which can be any one of a steam oven, an oven, a steam oven or a dishwasher, including a device body 1, a door body assembly 2 and two link mechanisms 3. The device body 1 is provided with an inner container 11 with a forward opening and two installation cavities 12 with forward openings, and the two installation cavities 12 are respectively located on the left and right outer sides of the inner container 11. The door body assembly 2 is arranged in front of the device body 1 and is used to open or close the forward opening of the inner container 11. The two link mechanisms 3 are respectively arranged at the two installation cavities 12, and each link mechanism 3 is rotatably connected between the device body 1 and the door body assembly 2. When the link mechanism 3 rotates relative to the device body 1, it can synchronously drive the door body assembly 2 to move horizontally in the up-down or left-right direction, so that the door body assembly 2 can move horizontally relative to the device body 1 to open or close the forward opening of the inner container 11. Compared with the existing downward-opening door body, after the door body assembly 2 is fully opened, the distance from its front end to the front of the device body is shorter, shortening the distance between the inner container 11 of the cooking device and the user, optimizing the user's experience of opening the door to take and place ingredients, facilitating the saving of kitchen space, and at the same time reducing the risk of the user being scalded by high temperature after the door body assembly 2 is opened.

[0030] Specifically, in other embodiments, the number of the link mechanisms 3 is one, and correspondingly, the number of the installation cavities 12 is also one. One installation cavity 12 is arranged in the middle of the device body 1 in the left-right direction and is arranged close to the inner container 11 to make the opening and closing of the door body assembly 2 smoother.

[0031] Reference Figures 3-5, the linkage mechanism 3 includes an assisting component 31, a main link component 32, and a secondary link component 33. The assisting component 31 is disposed on the device body 1. In this embodiment, the assisting component 31 is disposed in the installation cavity 12 of the device body 1. One end of the main link component 32 is rotatably connected to the back surface of the door body component 2, and the other end is respectively rotatably connected to the output end of the assisting component 31 and the device body 1. The secondary link component 33 is disposed below the main link component 32, and the opposite ends of the secondary link component 33 are respectively rotatably connected to the device body 1 and the back surface of the door body component 2. In this embodiment, the ends of the main link component 32 and the secondary link component 33 away from the door body component 2 are both placed in the installation cavity 12. The main link component 32 and the secondary link component 33 can both move between extending out of the installation cavity 12 and retracting into the installation cavity 12. Thus, when the door body component 2 is closed, the main link component 32 and the secondary link component 33 can both retract into the installation cavity 12, avoiding affecting the closing tightness due to the setting of the linkage mechanism 3.

[0032] The assisting component 31 is a hydraulic rod component or a push rod component, which can be stretched or contracted according to the opening angle of the door body component 2, and is used to provide resistance in different directions for the main link component 32, so that the door body component 2 can reliably hover at any angle. In this embodiment, taking the assisting component 31 as a hydraulic rod component as an example, the assisting component 31 includes a hydraulic rod 311 and a hydraulic rod fixed shaft (not shown in the figure). The hydraulic rod 311 is disposed in the installation cavity 12. The rear end of the hydraulic rod 311 is fixedly connected to the rear end of the cavity bottom surface of the installation cavity 11 through the hydraulic rod fixed shaft, and the front end of the hydraulic rod 311 is rotatably connected to the end of the main link component 32 away from the door body component 2.

[0033] The main link component 32 includes a main connecting rod 321 and a rotating shaft 322. The opposite ends of the main connecting rod 321 are respectively rotatably connected to the output end of the assisting component 31 and the back surface of the door body component 2. The end of the main connecting rod 321 away from the door body component 2 extends into the installation cavity 12, and it is rotatably connected to the opposite two cavity walls of the installation cavity 12 of the device body 1 through the rotating shaft 322. The secondary link component 33 includes a secondary connecting rod 331, and the opposite ends of the secondary connecting rod 331 are respectively rotatably connected to the device body 1 and the back surface of the door body component 2.

[0034] Reference Figures 3-5 , the main connecting rod 321 includes a first connecting section 3211 and a second connecting section 3212 connected at an obtuse angle. The end of the first connecting section 3211 away from the second connecting section 3212 is connected to the output end of the assisting component 31, and the end of the second connecting section 3212 away from the first connecting section 3211 is rotatably connected to the back surface of the door body component 2. The rotating shaft 322 is disposed at the connection of the first connecting section 3211 and the second connecting section 3212. It should be particularly noted that the first connecting section 3211 and the second connecting section 3212 can be integrally formed or connected through the rotating shaft 322.

[0035] In this embodiment, the length of the second connecting section 3212 is greater than that of the first connecting section 3211, and the length of the second connecting section 3212 is equal to the length of the auxiliary connecting rod 331. The connection between the main link assembly 32 and the door body assembly 2 forms a first connection point, that is, the connection between the second connecting section 3212 of the main connecting rod 321 and the door body assembly 2 forms a first connection point; the connection between the main link assembly 32 and the equipment body 1 forms a second connection point, that is, the rotating shaft 322 forms a second connection point; the connection between the auxiliary connecting rod 331 of the auxiliary link assembly 33 and the door body assembly 2 forms a third connection point, and the connection between the auxiliary connecting rod 331 of the auxiliary link assembly 33 and the door body assembly 2 forms a fourth connection point, and the distance between the fourth connection point and the second connection point is equal to the distance between the third connection point and the first connection point. Thus, the door body assembly 2 can move parallel under the drive of the link mechanism 3.

[0036] Embodiment 2

[0037] Reference Figures 1-5 , the difference between this embodiment and Embodiment 1 is that the cooking equipment further includes two driving components 4. The two driving components 4 are arranged at the upper end of the installation cavity 12 of the equipment body 1 and behind the door body assembly 2, and are used to drive the door body assembly 2 to move forward, so as to realize pushing the door body assembly 2 forward by 30 ± 10 mm through the two driving components 4, so as to form a gap of 30 ± 10 mm between the door body assembly 2 and the front of the equipment body 1, which is convenient for the user to reach in through the gap and buckle downwards, and drive the door body assembly 2 to move downward, so that the door body assembly 2 moves downward and translates to be fully opened. In other embodiments, the door body assembly 2 can be designed to move upward and translate to be fully opened. Further, the driving component 4 is also used as a closing buffer to reduce the closing force of the door body assembly 2 and avoid making a closing collision sound. In this embodiment, the driving component 4 includes a push rod motor and an internal pressure sensor, and the internal pressure sensor is used to activate the push rod motor when stressed; in addition, the driving component 4 further includes a buffer member, and the buffer member is sleeved on the outer surface of the electric push rod to reduce the closing force of the door body assembly 2 and avoid making a closing collision sound.

[0038] In other embodiments, the driving component 4 and the link mechanism 3 can be installed on different cavities, that is, the link mechanism 3 is installed on the installation cavity 12, and a receiving cavity is provided on the equipment body 1 outside the inner container 11 and opening towards the door body assembly 2, and the driving component 4 is installed at the opening of the receiving cavity. Of course, one of the driving components 4 can also be omitted. At this time, the remaining driving component 4 is installed in the middle of the equipment body 1 in the left-right direction and close to the upper end of the inner container 11.

[0039] The following combines Figures 4-5 to illustrate the opening and closing door working principle of the cooking equipment in this embodiment:

[0040] When the door needs to be opened, the user presses the upper end of the door body assembly 2, and the driving assembly 4 is activated by the force and drives the door body assembly 2 to move forward, so as to push out the door body assembly 2 by 30±10 mm; the user reaches down through the 30±10 mm gap at the top of the door body assembly 2 and pulls down, driving the door body assembly 2 to move down. At this time, the main link assembly 32 makes a flipping motion relative to the equipment body 1. At the same time, the auxiliary link assembly 33 also makes a flipping motion relative to the equipment body 1. Therefore, the entire door body assembly 2 moves down. See Figure 4 . During the door opening process, the resistance assembly 31 plays a damping role to ensure that the main link assembly 32 can remain stable.

[0041] On the contrary, when the door needs to be closed, the user manually pushes the door body assembly 2 upward. Due to the limitation of the link mechanism 3, the door body assembly 2 can move upward horizontally until it touches the driving assembly 4 again. The driving assembly 4 is activated by the force and resets. At this time, the driving assembly 4 acts as a buffer to reduce the closing force of the door body assembly 2 and avoid the sound of closing collision.

[0042] The above are only some embodiments of the present invention. For those of ordinary skill in the art, without departing from the creative concept of the present invention, several deformations and improvements can still be made, and these all belong to the protection scope of the present invention.
