[0006] The cooking appliance provided by the present application includes a main body, an electric heating device and a steam generating device.

[0007] A cooking cavity is provided inside the main body. The electric heating device and the steam generating device are both provided inside the main body. That is, the main body serves as an installation carrier for the electric heating device and the steam generating device, and has the function of installing and fixing the electric heating device and the steam generating device, and further can ensure the matching dimensions of the cooking cavity, the electric heating device and the steam generating device.

[0008] The electric heating device includes a first electric heating element, a motor and a fan blade. When the first electric heating element works, it can heat the gas to form hot air. The motor drives the fan blade to rotate, and can send the heat generated by the first electric heating element into the cooking cavity, so that the hot air flows in the cooking cavity to cook the food materials in the cooking cavity, thereby realizing the function of air-frying the food materials.

[0009] The steam generating device has an outlet. A part of the steam generating device is located inside the first cavity, and the part of the steam generating device located inside the first cavity is provided with an outlet. Steam can flow through the outlet to the cooking cavity. That is to say, the steam generating device can send the generated steam into the cooking cavity so that the steam can flow in the cooking cavity to cook the food in the cooking cavity, thereby realizing the function of steaming food.

[0010] Among them, the first electric heating element of the electric heating device and the outlet of the steam generating device are both located in the first cavity. The steam generated by the operation of the steam generating device flows through the outlet to the first cavity. The first electric heating element can reheat the steam to form superheated steam. At the same time, when the fan blade rotates, it can stir the steam to drive a large area of superheated steam to evenly enter the cooking cavity to steam the food in the cooking cavity. In addition, since the first electric heating element and the outlet of the steam generating device are both located in the first cavity, compared with the overall space where the first electric heating element and the steam generating device are located outside the cooking cavity, this setting has the advantage of a small space area, which is beneficial to improving the heating efficiency of superheated steam and the cooking efficiency in the steaming mode.

[0011] It can be seen that the motor driving the fan blade to rotate aims to send the heat generated by the first electric heating element into the cooking cavity. The motor driving the fan blade to rotate also aims to stir the steam.

[0012] The steaming mode and the hot air mode of the cooking appliance share the motor and the fan blade of the electric heating device. In other words, the motor and the fan blade of the electric heating device can not only meet the use requirements in the hot air mode, but also enhance the use requirements for the uniform distribution of superheated steam in the cooking cavity in the steaming mode, avoiding the situation of additionally investing in independent motors and stirring sheets when the cooking appliance is in the steaming mode, reducing the number of components of the cooking appliance, reducing the occupation of the internal space of the cooking appliance, being able to simplify the assembly process of the cooking appliance, being beneficial to reducing the production cost of the cooking appliance, being beneficial to the miniaturization of the cooking appliance, being beneficial to improving the cooking taste of the food in the steaming mode, and being beneficial to improving the use performance and market competitiveness of the product.

The outlets of the plural steam generating devices are arranged at intervals along the circumferential direction of the first electric heating element. This setting enables the steam generating device to spray steam onto the first electric heating element from multiple directions and angles simultaneously, so that the steam generated by the steam generating device can be effectively heated by the first electric heating element to form a large amount of superheated steam, providing a structural support for the uniform entry of a large area of superheated steam into the cooking cavity.

[0020] Meanwhile, this structural setting does not occupy the internal space of the cooking appliance in the height direction, and thus does not increase the height of the cooking appliance.

[0034] In some embodiments, optionally, along the height direction of the cooking appliance, the second plate body is located above the first plate body.

[0035] In this embodiment, the structure of the cooking appliance is further defined such that along the height direction of the cooking appliance, the second plate body is located above the first plate body.

[0036] That is, the first electric heating element, the motor and the steam generating device are all located above the cooking cavity. The operation of the electric heating device can make hot air circulate in the cooking cavity and the first cavity, so that the influence of water accumulation in the area where the first electric heating element is located (i.e., the first cavity) and water dripping from the top of the cooking cavity on the cooking ingredients during the cooking process can be effectively prevented, which is conducive to improving the cooking taste of the ingredients, avoiding the occurrence of water accumulation in the cooking cavity, and helping to reduce the difficulty of cleaning the cooking utensils.

[0058] In this embodiment, the structure of the cooking appliance is further defined such that the cooking appliance further includes a blower.

[0059] The blower is used to guide the flow from at least one of the steam generating device and the motor to the water tank. That is to say, the blower can guide the flow from the steam generating device to the water tank, or the blower can guide the flow from the motor to the water tank, or the blower can guide the flow from the steam generating device and the motor to the water tank. In this way, when the blower works, it can direct the heat at at least one of the steam generating device and the motor to the water tank, so as to utilize the heat at at least one of the steam generating device and the motor to exchange heat with the water tank, so as to achieve the purpose of initially preheating the water tank.

For example, the cooking appliance further includes a second electric heating element, or the cooking appliance further includes a third electric heating element, or the cooking appliance further includes a second electric heating element and a third electric heating element.

[0062] When the first electric heating element works, it can supply heat to the top of the cooking cavity. When the second electric heating element works, it can supply heat to the bottom of the cooking cavity.

At the same time, when the fan blade 230 rotates, it can stir the steam to drive a large area of superheated steam to evenly enter the cooking cavity 110 to steam-cook the food in the cooking cavity 110. In addition, since the first electric heating element 210 and the outlet 310 of the steam generating device 300 are both located in the first cavity 120, this setting has the advantage of a small space area compared to the overall space outside the cooking cavity 110 where the first electric heating element 210 and the steam generating device 300 are located, which is beneficial to improving the heating efficiency of superheated steam and the cooking efficiency in the steaming mode.

[0110] It can be seen from this that the purpose of the motor 220 driving the fan blade 230 to rotate is to send the heat generated by the first electric heating element 210 into the cooking cavity 110. The purpose of the motor 220 driving the fan blade 230 to rotate is also to stir the steam.

[0111] The steaming mode and the hot air mode of the cooking appliance 10 share the motor 220 and the fan blade 230 of the electric heating device 200. In other words, the motor 220 and the fan blade 230 of the electric heating device 200 can not only meet the usage requirements in the hot air mode, but also enhance the usage requirements for the uniform distribution of superheated steam in the cooking cavity 110 in the steaming mode, avoiding the situation of additionally investing in an independent motor 220 and a stirring piece when the cooking appliance 10 is in the steaming mode, reducing the number of components of the cooking appliance 10, reducing the occupation of the internal space of the cooking appliance 10, being able to simplify the assembly process of the cooking appliance 10, being beneficial to reducing the production cost of the cooking appliance 10, being beneficial to the miniaturization of the cooking appliance 10, being beneficial to improving the cooking taste of the food materials in the steaming mode, and being beneficial to improving the usage performance and market competitiveness of the product.

[0112] In some embodiments, optionally, as Figure 1 and Figure 2 shown, the outlet 310 is located on the peripheral side of the first electric heating element 210.

[0113] In this embodiment, the cooperation structure between the steam generating device 300 and the first electric heating element 210 is further defined. The outlet 310 of the steam generating device 300 is located on the peripheral side of the first electric heating element 210. This setting enables the steam flowing out of the outlet 310 to be effectively sprayed onto the first electric heating element 210, providing a reliable structural support for the first electric heating element 210 to be effectively reheated to form superheated steam.

[0114] Optionally, the steam generating device 300 is located on the peripheral side of the first electric heating element 210, and the outlet 310 of the steam generating device 300 is located on the peripheral side of the first electric heating element 210.

[0115] In some embodiments, optionally, as Figure 4 、 Figure 5 、 Figure 6 、 Figure 9 and Figure 10 shown, the number of the steam generating devices 300 is multiple.

[0116] The outlets 310 of the multiple steam generating devices 300 are arranged at intervals along the circumferential direction of the first electric heating element 210.

[0117] In this embodiment, the cooperation structure between the steam generating device 300 and the first electric heating element 210 is further defined.

[0118] Specifically, the number of the steam generating devices 300 is plural, and the plural steam generating devices 300 are arranged at intervals along the circumferential direction of the first electric heating element 210. The outlets 310 of the plural steam generating devices 300 are arranged at intervals along the circumferential direction of the first electric heating element 210. This arrangement enables the steam generating devices 300 to spray steam onto the first electric heating element 210 simultaneously from multiple directions and angles, so that the steam generated by the steam generating devices 300 can be effectively heated by the first electric heating element 210 to form a large amount of superheated steam, providing a structural support for the uniform entry of a large area of superheated steam into the cooking cavity 110.

[0119] Meanwhile, this structural arrangement does not occupy the internal space of the cooking appliance 10 in the height direction, and thus does not increase the height of the cooking appliance 10.

[0120] In some embodiments, optionally, as Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 8 、 Figure 10 and Figure 11 shown, a diversion opening 112 is provided on the cavity wall of the cooking cavity 110.

[0121] The fan blade 230 is located in the cooking cavity 110, and the diversion opening 112 is located between the first electric heating element 210 and the fan blade 230.

[0122] In this embodiment, the mating structure of the body 100 and the electric heating device 200 is further defined.

[0123] A diversion opening 112 is provided on the cavity wall of the cooking cavity 110. The first electric heating element 210 is located in the first cavity 120, the fan blade 230 is located in the cooking cavity 110, and the diversion opening 112 is located between the first electric heating element 210 and the fan blade 230. That is to say, by defining the position of the diversion opening 112, the position of the electric heating device 200 in the cooking cavity 110 can be indirectly defined.

[0124] When the first electric heating element 210 operates, it can heat the air flow to form hot air, providing a structural support for the flow of the hot air in the cooking cavity 110.

[0125] It can be understood that the first electric heating element 210 is located outside the cooking cavity 110 and is disposed opposite to the diversion opening 112. Therefore, it can prevent food residues and the like from splashing on the first electric heating element 210 during cooking, and can reduce the cleaning difficulty of the first electric heating element 210.

[0126] It can be understood that when the fan blade 230 located in the cooking cavity 110 rotates, it can stir the steam so that the steam is evenly distributed in all corners of the cooking cavity 110, ensuring the uniformity of the steam distribution at different positions in the cooking cavity 110, which is beneficial to improving the cooking taste of the food.

[0127] In some other embodiments, a diversion opening 112 is provided on the side wall of the cooking cavity 110. For example, when the diversion opening 112 is located on the side wall of the cooking cavity 110, the electric heating device 200 is located at the side wall of the cooking cavity 110.

[0128] In some other embodiments, diversion openings 112 are provided on both the top wall and the side wall of the cooking cavity 110. When a part of the diversion opening 112 is located on the top wall of the cooking cavity 110 and another part of the diversion opening 112 is located on the side wall of the cooking cavity 110, a part of the electric heating device 200 is located at the top wall of the cooking cavity 110 and another part of the electric heating device 200 is located at the side wall of the cooking cavity 110. When the number of the diversion openings 112 is multiple and the number of the electric heating devices 200 is multiple, a part of the multiple diversion openings 112 is located on the top wall of the cooking cavity 110, another part of the multiple diversion openings 112 is located on the side wall of the cooking cavity 110, a part of the multiple electric heating devices 200 is located at the top wall of the cooking cavity 110, and another part of the multiple electric heating devices 200 is located at the side wall of the cooking cavity 110.

[0129] In some embodiments, optionally, as Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 4 、 Figure 5 and Figure 6 shown, the body 100 includes a first plate body 130 and a second plate body 140.

[0130] The first plate body 130 is provided with a diversion opening 112.

[0131] The first plate body 130 forms a part of the cavity wall of the cooking cavity 110.

[0132] The second plate body 140 is provided on one side of the first plate body 130.

[0133] The second plate body 140 and the first plate body 130 enclose a first cavity 120.

[0134] Another part of the steam generating device 300 and the motor 220 are both located on the side of the second plate body 140 away from the first plate body 130.

[0135] The electric heating device 200 further includes a connecting shaft 240, and the connecting shaft 240 connects the motor 220 and the fan blade 230.

[0136] In this embodiment, the structure of the body 100 is further defined.

[0137] The body 100 includes a first plate body 130 and a second plate body 140.

[0138] The first plate body 130 is provided with a flow guide 112, the first plate body 130 forms a part of the cavity wall of the cooking cavity 110, and the second plate body 140 and the first plate body 130 enclose the first cavity 120. That is, the first plate body 130 has a first end surface and a second end surface in the thickness direction, the first end surface forms a part of the cavity wall of the cooking cavity 110, the second end surface forms a part of the cavity wall of the first cavity 120, and the flow guide 112 passes through the first end surface and the second end surface.

[0139] The other part of the steam generating device 300 and the motor 220 are both located on the side of the second plate 140 away from the first plate 130. That is, the other part of the steam generating device 300 and the motor 220 are both located outside the first cavity 120, which is conducive to reducing the volume in the first cavity 120, thereby shortening the time to form superheated steam and improving the heating efficiency of superheated steam.

[0140] The electric heating device 200 further includes a connecting shaft 240, one end of which is connected to the motor 220, and the other end of the connecting shaft 240 passes through the first plate 130 and the second plate 140 and is connected to the fan blade 230. The motor 220 drives the connecting shaft 240 to rotate, and the connecting shaft 240 rotates to drive the fan blade 230 to rotate.

[0141] Optionally, the first plate body 130 forms a cavity top wall of the cooking cavity 110 .

[0142] In some embodiments, optionally, Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, along the height direction of the cooking appliance 10 , the second plate body 140 is located above the first plate body 130 .

[0143] In this embodiment, the structure of the cooking appliance 10 is further defined such that the second plate body 140 is located above the first plate body 130 along the height direction of the cooking appliance 10 .

[0144] That is, the first electric heating element 210, the motor 220 and the steam generating device 300 are all located above the cooking cavity 110. The operation of the electric heating device 200 can make hot air circulate in the cooking cavity 110 and the first cavity 120, so that the accumulation of water in the area where the first electric heating element 210 is located (i.e., the first cavity 120) and the dripping of water from the top of the cooking cavity 110 during the cooking process can be effectively prevented from affecting the cooking ingredients, which is conducive to improving the cooking taste of the ingredients, and can avoid the occurrence of water accumulation in the cooking cavity 110, which is conducive to reducing the difficulty of cleaning the cooking device 10.

[0145] In some embodiments, optionally, Figure 1 andFigure 2 As shown, the distance from the middle region of the first plate body 130 to the bottom wall of the cooking cavity 110 is greater than the distance from the outer edge of the first plate body 130 to the bottom wall.

[0146] The diversion port 112 is a honeycomb port, and the honeycomb port extends from the middle region of the first plate body 130 to the outer edge of the first plate body 130.

[0147] In this embodiment, the structure of the further body 100 is described. The first plate body 130 forms the top wall of the cooking cavity 110, and the first plate body 130 is disposed opposite to the bottom wall of the cooking cavity 110.

[0148] The first plate body 130 is provided with a diversion port 112. The distance from the middle region of the first plate body 130 to the bottom wall of the cooking cavity 110 is greater than the distance from the outer edge of the first plate body 130 to the bottom wall. Optionally, the shape of the first plate body 130 is a dish shape, and the outer edge of the first plate body 130 forms a dish opening. The dish-shaped first plate body 130 is arranged in an inverted manner, that is to say, the dish opening faces the bottom wall of the cooking cavity 110.

[0149] In addition, the diversion port 112 is a honeycomb port, and the honeycomb port extends from the middle region of the first plate body 130 to the outer edge of the first plate body 130. This setting enables the first plate body 130 to have a diversion function. In this way, when the electric heating device 200 works, hot air and superheated steam can effectively flow to the bottom of the cooking cavity 110, so that the hot air and superheated steam can flow from the bottom of the food material to the top of the food material. At the same time, the hot air and superheated steam can circulate in the cooking cavity 110 through the honeycomb port, providing a structural support for the uniform heating of different positions of the food material.

[0150] In some embodiments, optionally, as Figure 3 shown, the cooking appliance 10 further includes a water tank 400.

[0151] The water tank 400 is disposed inside the body 100.

[0152] The water tank 400 is communicated with the steam generating device 300.

[0153] The water tank 400 is located on the side of the second plate body 140 away from the first plate body 130.

[0154] In this embodiment, the structure of the cooking appliance 10 is further defined, so that the cooking appliance 10 further includes a water tank 400.

[0155] Specifically, the water tank 400 is located on the side of the second plate body 140 away from the first plate body 130. The first electric heating element 210, the motor 220, the steam generating device 300, and the water tank 400 are located on the same side of the cooking cavity 110. That is to say, the first electric heating element 210, the motor 220, the steam generating device 300, and the water tank 400 are all located outside the cooking cavity 110. Among them, the water tank 400 is communicated with the steam generating device 300.

[0156] This setting can shorten the distance between the water tank 400 and the steam generating device 300, which is beneficial to reducing the material input of the connecting piece connecting the steam generating device 300 and the water tank 400, and is beneficial to reducing the production cost of the cooking appliance 10.

[0157] The first electric heating element 210, the motor 220, the steam generating device 300, and the water tank 400 are all located above the cooking cavity 110. The water flow in the water tank 400 can flow from top to bottom under the action of gravity to the steam generating device 300. In this way, it is beneficial to reduce the material of the connecting piece connecting the steam generating device 300 and the water tank 400. While ensuring the effectiveness and feasibility of the connection between the steam generating device 300 and the water tank 400, it is beneficial to reduce the occupancy rate of the internal space of the cooking appliance 10 and is beneficial to reducing the production cost of the cooking appliance 10.

[0158] Optionally, the connection between the water tank 400 and the steam generating device 300 is close to the first cavity 120.

[0159] In some embodiments, optionally, the motor 220 and the steam generating device 300 are located on the same side of the water tank 400.

[0160] As Figure 1 shown, the main body 100 is provided with an opening 150 and a cover plate 160. The cover plate 160 is used to open and close the opening 150, and the opening 150 is used to take in and out the water tank 400.

[0161] In this embodiment, the cooperation structure of the motor 220, the steam generating device 300, and the water tank 400 is further defined.

[0162] The motor 220 and the steam generating device 300 are located on the same side of the water tank 400. That is to say, the top space of the cooking cavity 110 is divided into two parts. One part is used to install the first electric heating element 210, the motor 220, and the steam generating device 300, and the other part is used to install the water tank 400.

[0163] Among them, the main body 100 is provided with an opening 150. When the water tank 400 needs to be installed, the water tank 400 can be assembled into the main body 100 through the opening 150. When water needs to be replenished, the water tank 400 can be taken out of the main body 100 through the opening 150.

[0164] The water tank 400 is located at the top of the cooking cavity 110. With the water tank 400 being placed above, users do not need to bend down when taking out or placing the water tank 400, which makes it more convenient to take out and place the water tank 400 and facilitates operation.

[0165] Wherein, the main body 100 is further provided with a cover plate 160, and the cover plate 160 is used to open or close the opening 150. When the opening 150 is opened, the water tank 400 can be taken out or placed through the opening 150. When the opening 150 is closed, it can prevent impurities such as dirt and water vapor from entering the cooking appliance 10 through the opening 150.

[0166] In some embodiments, optionally, as Figure 1 shown, the control screen 180 is provided on the panel 170 of the main body 100.

[0167] At least a part of the control screen 180 is disposed opposite to the first electric heating element 210, the motor 220, and the steam generating device 300.

[0168] Both the electric heating device 200 and the steam generating device 300 are electrically connected to the control screen 180.

[0169] In this embodiment, the structure of the main body 100 is further defined such that the control screen 180 is provided on the panel 170 of the main body 100, at least a part of the controller is disposed opposite to the first electric heating element 210, the motor 220, and the steam generating device 300, and the water tank 400 and the steam generating device 300 are arranged in the height direction perpendicular to the cooking appliance 10.

[0170] That is to say, along the height direction of the cooking appliance 10, the cooking appliance 10 is at least divided into a first area and a second area. The second area is located above the first area. The cooking cavity 110 is located in the first area. At least a part of the control screen 180, the first electric heating element 210, the motor 220, and the steam generating device 300 are all located in the second area, and the water tank 400 and the steam generating device 300 are arranged in the height direction perpendicular to the main body 100. The control screen 180 is closer to the top of the main body 100 than the cooking cavity 110. In this way, it is more in line with the user's operating habits.

[0171] The steam generating device 300 and the electric heating device 200 can be controlled to work through the touch screen.

[0172] In some embodiments, optionally, as Figure 10 shown, the cooking appliance 10 further includes a blower 500.

[0173] The blower 500 is provided on the side of the second plate body 140 away from the first plate body 130.

[0174] The blower 500 is used to divert air from at least one of the steam generating device 300 and the motor 220 towards the water tank 400.

[0175] In this embodiment, the structure of the cooking appliance 10 is further defined such that the cooking appliance 10 further includes a blower 500.

[0176] The blower 500 is configured to divert air from at least one of the steam generating device 300 and the motor 220 to the water tank 400. That is, the blower 500 can divert air from the steam generating device 300 to the water tank 400, or the blower 500 can divert air from the motor 220 to the water tank 400, or the blower 500 can divert air from both the steam generating device 300 and the motor 220 to the water tank 400. In this way, when the blower 500 operates, it can direct the heat at at least one of the steam generating device 300 and the motor 220 to the water tank 400, so as to utilize the heat at at least one of the steam generating device 300 and the motor 220 to perform a heat exchange with the water tank 400, for the purpose of preliminarily preheating the water tank 400. This setting is beneficial to shortening the time for heating the water tank 400, reducing the energy consumption of the cooking appliance 10, and improving the performance and market competitiveness of the cooking appliance 10.

[0177] In some embodiments, optionally, as Figure 1 、 Figure 3 、 Figure 7 and Figure 10 shown, the cooking appliance 10 further includes at least one of a second electric heating element 600 and a third electric heating element 700.

[0178] The second electric heating element 600 is configured to supply heat to the bottom of the cooking cavity 110.

[0179] The third electric heating element 700 is configured to supply heat to the side of the cooking cavity 110.

[0180] In this embodiment, the structure of the cooking appliance 10 is further defined such that when the top wall of the cavity (i.e., the first plate body 130) is provided with a diversion port 112, the cooking appliance 10 further includes at least one of a second electric heating element 600 and a third electric heating element 700. For example, the cooking appliance 10 further includes a second electric heating element 600, or the cooking appliance 10 further includes a third electric heating element 700, or the cooking appliance 10 further includes both a second electric heating element 600 and a third electric heating element 700.

[0181] When the first electric heating element 210 operates, it can supply heat to the top of the cooking cavity 110. When the second electric heating element 600 operates, it can supply heat to the bottom of the cooking cavity 110. When the third electric heating element 700 operates, it can supply heat to the side of the cooking cavity 110.

[0182] That is to say, the first electric heating element 210, the second electric heating element 600, and the third electric heating element 700 cooperate to supply heat to the cooking cavity 110 in multiple directions and at multiple angles, enabling all-round and multi-angle baking of the food in the cooking cavity 110. In this way, different positions of the food can be effectively heated, ensuring the balance and consistency of the heat received by the food, which is beneficial to improving the cooking taste of the food.

[0183] In some embodiments, optionally, as Figure 9 and Figure 10 shown, the cooking appliance 10 further includes a microwave generating device 800.

[0184] The microwave generating device 800 is disposed in the main body 100.

[0185] The microwave generating device 800 is in communication with the cooking cavity 110.

[0186] The microwave generating device 800 can feed microwaves into the cooking cavity 110.

[0187] Wherein, when the motor 220 drives the fan blade 230 to rotate, the fan blade 230 can stir the microwaves.

[0188] In this embodiment, the structure of the cooking appliance 10 is further defined such that the cooking appliance 10 further includes a microwave generating device 800.

[0189] The microwave generating device 800 is in communication with the cooking cavity 110. The microwave generating device 800 can feed microwaves into the cooking cavity 110. When the motor 220 drives the fan blade 230 to rotate, the fan blade 230 can stir the microwaves so that the microwaves are evenly distributed in every corner of the cooking cavity 110, achieving the purpose of uniform heating of the food and improving the heating speed of the food. That is to say, it can achieve the effect of quickly and evenly heating the food.

[0190] It can be seen that the rotation of the motor 220 driving the fan blade 230 aims to send the heat generated by the first electric heating element 210 into the cooking cavity 110. The rotation of the motor 220 driving the fan blade 230 also aims to stir the steam. The rotation of the motor 220 driving the fan blade 230 also aims to stir the microwaves in the cooking cavity 110.

[0191] That is to say, the microwave mode and the hot air mode of the cooking appliance 10 share the motor 220 and the fan blade 230 of the electric heating device 200. In other words, the motor 220 and the fan blade 230 of the electric heating device 200 can not only meet the usage requirements in the hot air mode, but also meet the usage requirements in the microwave mode. This setting avoids the situation of additionally investing in an independent motor 220 and a stirring piece when the cooking appliance 10 is in the microwave function, reduces the number of components of the cooking appliance 10, reduces the occupation of the internal space of the cooking appliance 10, can simplify the assembly process of the cooking appliance 10, is beneficial to reducing the production cost of the cooking appliance 10, is beneficial to the miniaturization of the cooking appliance 10, and improves the usage performance and market competitiveness of the product.

[0192] It can be understood that the steaming mode, the microwave mode and the hot air mode of the cooking appliance 10 share the motor 220 and the fan blade 230 of the electric heating device 200.

[0193] In some embodiments, optionally, as Figure 10 and Figure 11 shown, at least one of the electric heating device 200 and the cooking cavity 110 is provided with a microwave port 900.

[0194] The microwave generating device 800 feeds microwaves into the cooking cavity 110 through the microwave port 900.

[0195] In this embodiment, at least one of the electric heating device 200 and the cooking cavity 110 is provided with a microwave port 900, that is, the electric heating device 200 is provided with a microwave port 900, or the cooking cavity 110 is provided with a microwave port 900, or both the electric heating device 200 and the cooking cavity 110 are provided with microwave ports 900. The microwave generating device 800 is communicated with the microwave port 900, and the microwaves generated by the operation of the microwave generating device 800 can enter the cooking cavity 110 through the microwave port 900. The rotation of the fan blade 230 can stir the microwaves in the cooking cavity 110 so that the microwaves are evenly distributed in every corner of the cooking cavity 110, so as to achieve the purpose of uniform heating of the food materials and improve the heating speed of the food materials.

[0196] In some embodiments, optionally, as Figure 9 shown, the microwave generating device 800 has an interface portion 810.

[0197] When the electric heating device 200 is provided with a microwave port 900, the microwave port 900 is provided on the fan blade 230, and the interface portion 810 is communicated with the microwave port 900.

[0198] In this embodiment, the microwave generating device 800 has an interface portion 810, and the microwave port 900 is provided on the fan blade 230.

[0199] Optionally, the connecting shaft 240 of the electric heating device 200 has a hollow structure. One end of the connecting shaft 240 is connected to the motor 220, and the other end of the connecting shaft 240 is connected to the fan blade 230. The motor 220 operates to drive the connecting shaft 240 to rotate, and the connecting shaft 240 rotates to drive the fan blade 230 to rotate.

[0200] The interface portion 810 communicates with the microwave port 900 through the connecting shaft 240. In this way, the microwave generated by the microwave generating device 800 is fed into the cooking cavity 110 via the connecting shaft 240 and the microwave port 900. The microwave port 900 is provided on the fan blade 230, which has the advantages of low processing difficulty and high processing efficiency, facilitating the improvement of the processing efficiency of the cooking appliance 10 and reducing the production cost of the cooking appliance 10.

[0201] Specifically, the cooking appliance 10 includes a microwave steam oven, an air fryer, a rice cooker, and so on, which will not be enumerated one by one here.

[0202] Optionally, the connecting shaft 240 is a tube shaft to meet the purpose of connecting the microwave generating device 800 with the microwave port 900 through the connecting shaft 240. Among them, a cross-section is taken of the connecting shaft 240 perpendicular to the axial direction of the connecting shaft 240. In the cross-section, the shape enclosed by the inner contour of the connecting shaft 240 includes a circle, a rectangle, a polygon, a special shape, and so on, which will not be enumerated one by one here. In the cross-section, the shape enclosed by the outer contour of the connecting shaft 240 includes a circle, a rectangle, a polygon, a special shape, and so on, which will not be enumerated one by one here.

[0203] In some embodiments, optionally, the fan blade 230 is a metal part.

[0204] In this embodiment, the structure of the fan blade 230 is further defined. Specifically, the fan blade 230 is a metal part.

[0205] The metal part does not absorb microwaves, so that when the fan blade 230 rotates, it has a good effect of disturbing the microwaves. Thus, the microwave reflection can be more sufficient, which is beneficial to improving the uniformity of the microwave distribution in the cooking cavity 110, facilitating the uniform heating of the food materials, and ensuring the cooking effect of the food materials.

[0206] In some other embodiments, the fan blade 230 is a plastic part.

[0207] Optionally, the fan blade 230 is an aluminum fan blade 230.

[0208] Optionally, the cooking appliance 10 further includes electrical components, and the blower 500 is also used to divert from the electrical components to the water tank 400. The electrical components include a circuit board, an oven lamp, a resistor, and so on, which will not be enumerated one by one here.

[0209] Optionally, the control screen 180 includes a touch screen.

[0210] Optionally, the control screen 180 includes a mechanical button screen.

[0211] Optionally, the first electric heating element 210 includes any one of the following or a combination thereof: a heating tube, a heating wire, and a heating plate.

[0212] Optionally, the second electric heating element 600 includes any one of the following or a combination thereof: a heating tube, a heating wire, and a heating plate.

[0213] Optionally, the third electric heating element 700 includes any one of the following or a combination thereof: a heating tube, a heating wire, and a heating plate.

[0214] Optionally, at least one of the second electric heating element 600 and the third electric heating element 700 is located inside the cooking cavity 110.

[0215] Optionally, at least one of the second electric heating element 600 and the third electric heating element 700 is located outside the cooking cavity 110.

[0216] Specifically, at least one of the first electric heating element 210, the second electric heating element 600, and the third electric heating element 700 is a graphene heating tube.

[0217] Optionally, the microwave function of the cooking appliance 10 borrows the motor 220 and the fan blade 230 of the electric heating device 200, and the fan blade 230 serves as a microwave antenna to achieve the uniformity of microwaves. This setting has the advantages of low production cost and low space occupancy rate.

[0218] Optionally, the water tank 400 is placed above, and the flow of water from top to bottom is realized by the gravity of water, eliminating the water pump and related pipeline systems, which is beneficial to reducing the production cost and optimizing the space inside the cooking appliance 10.

[0219] Optionally, the water tank 400 is placed above, so that the user does not need to bend down when taking the water tank 400, making the human-computer interaction more user-friendly.

[0220] Optionally, the steam is ejected through the outlet 310 of the steam generating device 300, and the steam is sprayed onto the first cavity 120 at the top. The steam is sent into the cooking cavity 110 through the fan blade 230 to achieve the uniformity of steaming and superheated steaming.

[0221] Optionally, while the first electric heating element 210 at the top heats the steam, the hot air also heats the entire first cavity 120, preventing the steam from condensing and avoiding water accumulation inside the first cavity 120. At the same time, it can also prevent water droplets from falling into the food, causing the food to become soft and have a poor taste.

[0222] The cooking appliance 10 of the present application has an upper and a lower part in its layout. The upper part is divided into a left and a right cavity. The outer surface of the left cavity is the installation position of the control screen 180, and the outer smooth surface of the right cavity is the position of the water tank 400. The outer surface of the lower part is the installation position of the door body 1000.

[0223] The top of the control screen 180 of the present application is placed at the upper position, which is more in line with the user's operating habits. The water tank 400 is arranged in the upper right, which is more intuitive and convenient when the user takes the water tank 400 for water replenishment or cleaning. At the same time, through the top-down flow of water, the water system is simplified to a minimalist form of the water tank 400 plus a solenoid valve, which is superior in terms of mechanism and cost.

[0224] Optionally, the top wall of the cooking cavity 110 adopts a honeycomb dome structure, and holes with a diameter of 5 mm are evenly distributed on the top of the dome.

[0225] In terms of microwave, the microwave generating device 800 (i.e., magnetron) is placed at the top. The motor 220 and the fan blade 230 of the micro-steaming and baking are borrowed as the microwave port 900 to achieve the uniformity of microwave heating.

[0226] In terms of heat dissipation, the hot air for dissipating heat from electrical components is used for heat exchange with the water in the top water system. While dissipating heat from the electrical heating components, the water in the water system (such as the water in the water tank 400) is also preheated, which is beneficial to reducing energy consumption.

[0227] The present application uses the first electric heating element 210 (such as a graphene heating tube) in the upper part, the first electric heating element 210 (such as a heating tube) in the lower part, and the third electric heating element 700 (such as a U-shaped heating tube) on the back, and cooperates with the fan blade 230 at the top to bake the cooking cavity 110 in all directions to achieve the uniformity and permeability of baking.

[0228] At the same time, the graphene heating tube and the fan blade 230 at the top cooperate to achieve the perfect effect of air frying. The first electric heating element 210 is arranged outside the honeycomb dome to prevent food residues and the like from splashing on the first electric heating element 210 during cooking, causing difficulty in cleaning later.

[0229] The present application adopts the form of directly spraying superheated steam on the graphene heating tube at the top with double nozzles at the top (i.e., the outlets 310 of the two steam generating devices 300 are arranged opposite to each other). At the same time, the fan blade 230 stirs, driving a large area of superheated steam to uniformly enter the cooking cavity 110 through the honeycomb holes of the dome to cook the food in the cooking cavity 110.

[0230] The dome heating tube and the hot air circulation of the present application can effectively prevent water accumulation in the first cavity 120 during the cooking process, and can also effectively prevent water dripping from the top from affecting the taste of the food.
