[0046] To make the objectives, technical solutions and advantages of the present application clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be described in more detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings in the preferred embodiments of the present application. In the drawings, the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar components or components having the same or similar functions throughout. The described embodiments are some but not all of the embodiments of the present application. The embodiments described below by referring to the drawings are exemplary and are intended to explain the present application and should not be construed as a limitation to the present application. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present application without creative efforts shall fall within the scope of protection of the present application. The embodiments of the present application will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings.

[0047] In the description of the present application, it should be noted that unless otherwise clearly defined and limited, the terms "installed", "connected" and "connected" should be understood in a broad sense. For example, it may be a fixed connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium. It may be the communication inside two components or the interaction relationship between two components. For those of ordinary skill in the art, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present application can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0048] In the description of the present application, it should be understood that the orientation or positional relationship indicated by the terms "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer", etc. is the orientation or positional relationship based on the drawings, and is only for the convenience of describing the present application and simplifying the description, rather than indicating or implying that the device or component referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation to the present application.

[0049] The terms "first", "second", "third" (if any) in the description, claims and the above-mentioned drawings of the present application are used to distinguish similar objects and do not necessarily describe a specific order or sequence.

[0050] In addition, the terms "comprising" and "having" and any variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion. For example, a process, method, system, product or display that includes a series of steps or units need not be limited to those steps or units clearly listed, but may include other steps or units not clearly listed or inherent to these processes, methods, products or displays.

[0051] In the prior art, a food probe is generally a wireless probe for use in a cooking appliance with a high temperature and a need for enclosure. After use, the user can place the food probe outside the cooking appliance. However, the food probe is wireless and small in size, making it easy to get lost. If the food probe is directly left inside the inner container of the cooking appliance after use, the food probe will be in a high-temperature environment inside the inner container for a long time, which will shorten the service life of the food probe.

[0052] After repeated thinking and verification, the inventor found that some cooking appliances are provided with a water tank, and the water tank is mounted on the inner container of the cooking appliance through a water tank bracket. If a probe storage box is fixedly installed on the water tank bracket, the food probe can be placed inside the probe storage box when not in use, and it is not easy for the user to forget the location of the food probe, and thus the food probe is not easy to get lost.

[0053] In view of this, the inventor designed a box structure and a cooking appliance. By installing a water tank bracket on the inner container, the water tank is detachably installed on the water tank bracket. By fixedly installing a probe storage box on the water tank bracket, the probe storage box can store the food probe that is not in use. When the user does not use the food probe, the food probe can be placed in the probe storage box to prevent the food probe from getting lost.

[0054] The technical solutions of the box structure and the cooking appliance provided by the embodiments of the present application are described in detail below with reference to the drawings.

[0055] Referring to Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the box structure provided by the embodiments of the present application includes an inner container 100, a water tank bracket 200, a water tank 300, and a probe storage box 400. The water tank bracket 200 is installed on the inner container 100. The water tank 300 is installed on the water tank bracket 200. The probe storage box 400 is fixedly connected to the water tank bracket 200, and the probe storage box 400 is configured to accommodate the food probe 500.

[0056] Among them, the inner container 100 is formed into an approximate box structure, which has a containing cavity for containing food. The water tank bracket 200 can be installed on the top or side of the inner container 100, and there is no unique limitation here. In a possible implementation manner, the water tank 300 is detachably connected to the water tank bracket 200, and the water tank 300 can be placed into the water tank bracket 200 from the front side of the water tank bracket 200 or taken out from the water tank bracket 200. It can be understood that the box structure provided in this embodiment can be used in cooking appliances with steaming function or humidifying baking function, and the water tank 300 can supply moisture to the containing cavity of the inner container 100. Alternatively, the water tank 300 can also be fixedly installed on the water tank bracket 200, and a water supply pipeline is connected to the water tank 300, and water can be supplied to the water tank 300 through the water supply pipeline.

[0057] Schematically, the probe storage box 400 can be fixed to the water tank bracket 200 by means of bonding, fastening with fasteners or snap connection, etc., and there is no unique limitation here. It is worth mentioning that the probe storage box 400 has a containing chamber and an opening communicating with the containing chamber. The opening of the probe storage box 400 can be located on the front side of the probe storage box 400, and the user can put the food probe 500 into the containing chamber of the probe storage box 400 from the opening or take out the food probe 500 in the containing chamber from the opening.

[0058] It should be noted that both the water tank 300 and the food probe 500 are accessories of the cooking appliance. Placing the food probe 500 close to the water tank 300 facilitates the user to remember the position of the food probe 500.

[0059] For the box structure provided in this embodiment, the water tank bracket 200 is fixedly connected to the probe storage box 400, and the food probe 500 can be accommodated through the probe storage box 400. When the food probe 500 is not in use, the user can place the food probe 500 inside the probe storage box 400 to avoid the user forgetting the position of the food probe 500, and the food probe 500 is not easily lost. Integrating the probe storage box 400 with the water tank bracket 200 does not require changing the structure of the inner container 100, which is beneficial to reducing the production cost of the cooking appliance compared with directly setting the probe storage box 400 on the inner container 100. In addition, both the water tank 300 and the food probe 500 are accessories of the cooking appliance. Through the water tank bracket 200 and the probe storage box 400, the food probe 500 can be placed close to the water tank 300, which is convenient for the user to remember the position of the food probe 500 and further avoids the loss of the food probe 500.

[0060] In one embodiment, as Figures 1 - 3 shown, the water tank 300 includes a clean water tank 310 and a waste water tank 320, and the water tank bracket 200 is provided with a first cavity 210 and a second cavity 220.

[0061] The clean water tank 310 is detachably installed in the first cavity 210, the wastewater tank 320 is detachably installed in the second cavity 220, and the probe storage box 400 is located between the first cavity 210 and the second cavity 220.

[0062] It should be noted that in some cooking appliances with steaming function or humidifying and baking function, the recycling of water can be realized. The clean water tank 310 can provide clean water into the accommodating cavity of the inner container 100, and the wastewater tank 320 can store the collected wastewater to prevent the water in the clean water tank 310 from being polluted. The clean water tank 310 and the wastewater tank 320 are respectively detachably connected to the water tank bracket 200, which is convenient for users to replace the water in the clean water tank 310 and the wastewater tank 320. Among them, the first cavity 210 and the second cavity 220 can be arranged side by side. The shape and size of the first cavity 210 match those of the clean water tank 310, and the shape and size of the second cavity 220 match those of the wastewater tank 320.

[0063] Illustratively, the water tank bracket 200 has a first opening communicating with the first cavity 210 and a second opening communicating with the second cavity 220. The first opening and the second opening can be respectively arranged on the front side of the water tank bracket 200. The clean water tank 310 can be put into the interior of the first cavity 210 or taken out from the interior of the first cavity 210 through the first opening, and the wastewater tank 320 can be put into the interior of the second cavity 220 or taken out from the interior of the second cavity 220 through the second opening.

[0064] With this structure, the probe storage box 400 is located between the first cavity 210 and the second cavity 220 on the water tank bracket 200. After the clean water tank 310 and the wastewater tank 320 are respectively installed on the water tank bracket 200, on the front side of the water tank bracket 200, the width of the middle area between the clean water tank 310 and the wastewater tank 320 is larger, which is convenient for users to put the food probe 500 into the probe storage box 400 or take the food probe 500 out from the probe storage box 400. In addition, the probe storage box 400 is located between the first cavity 210 and the second cavity 220, and the probe storage box 400 is relatively symmetrical with the water tank bracket 200, with high aesthetic property.

[0065] In other embodiments, the probe storage box 400 can also be located on the side of the first cavity 210 away from the second cavity 220, or the probe storage box 400 can also be located on the side of the second cavity 220 away from the first cavity 210.

[0066] As Figure 3 shown, in a possible implementation manner, tracks 230 are respectively arranged on two opposite side walls of the first cavity 210, and the tracks 230 are configured to be slidably connected with the side walls of the clean water tank 310.

[0067] Among them, the number of the tracks 230 on the side wall of the first cavity 210 is not restrictive. For example Figure 3 As shown in Figure 3 , two tracks 230 can be respectively arranged on the side walls of the first cavity 210 along the height direction of the water tank bracket 200. Schematically, the track 230 can be a strip structure protruding from the inner wall of the first cavity 210, and this strip structure can extend along the direction of taking out or putting back the clean water tank 310. Optionally, grooves can be arranged on the side wall of the clean water tank 310, and each track 230 can extend into the corresponding groove on the side wall of the clean water tank 310.

[0068] By arranging the tracks 230 on the side wall of the first cavity 210, the movement direction of the clean water tank 310 in the first cavity 210 can be restricted through the tracks 230, so that the clean water tank 310 can be taken out or put back smoothly. The tracks 230 on the side wall of the first cavity 210 can also play a role in strengthening the structure of the water tank bracket 200, and the water tank bracket 200 is not easily deformed after the clean water tank 310 is taken out or put back multiple times.

[0069] In another possible implementation manner, tracks 230 are respectively arranged on two opposite side walls of the second cavity 220, and the tracks 230 are configured to be slidably connected to the side wall of the wastewater tank 320.

[0070] Exemplarily, the track 230 can be a strip structure protruding from the inner wall of the second cavity 220, and this strip structure can extend along the direction of taking out or putting back the wastewater tank 320. Optionally, grooves can be arranged on the side wall of the wastewater tank 320, and each track 230 can extend into the corresponding groove on the side wall of the wastewater tank 320.

[0071] It can be understood that the tracks 230 on the second cavity 220 can make the wastewater tank 320 taken out or put back smoothly, and at the same time, the water tank bracket 200 is not easily deformed after the wastewater tank 320 is taken out or put back multiple times.

[0072] Tracks 230 can be arranged on the side walls of the first cavity 210 and the side walls of the second cavity 220 at the same time. The tracks 230 on the first cavity 210 can be slidably connected to the clean water tank 310, and the tracks 230 on the second cavity 220 can be slidably connected to the wastewater tank 320.

[0073] As Figure 1 and Figure 2 shown, the box body structure further includes a control panel 600, and the control panel 600 is movably installed on the inner tank 100. The control panel 600 can move between a first position and a second position. When the control panel 600 is in the first position, the control panel 600 covers the water tank bracket 200. When the control panel 600 is in the second position, the control panel 600 exposes the water tank 300 and the food probe 500.

[0074] Exemplarily, the control panel 600 can be connected to the inner tank 100 through a connecting rod. One end of the connecting rod is fixedly connected to the control panel 600, and the other end of the connecting rod is rotatably connected to the inner tank 100. When the connecting rod rotates relative to the inner tank 100, the control panel 600 can be lifted or lowered relative to the inner tank 100. When the control panel 600 is lowered relative to the inner tank 100, the control panel 600 is in the first position; when the control panel 600 is lifted relative to the inner tank 100, the control panel 600 is in the second position.

[0075] It is worth mentioning that after the food probe 500 is placed inside the probe storage box 400 and the water tank 300 is placed in the water tank bracket 200, when the control panel 600 is in the first position, the control panel 600 will cover the water tank 300, the water tank bracket 200, the probe storage box 400 and the food probe 500 entirely.

[0076] When the user needs to use the food probe 500, the control panel 600 needs to be lifted, and then the food probe 500 can be pulled out from the probe storage box 400; when the user has finished using the food probe 500, the control panel 600 also needs to be lifted, and the food probe 500 can be inserted into the probe storage box 400.

[0077] With this structure, the control panel 600 can play a role in shielding the water tank 300, the water tank bracket 200 and the probe storage box 400, improving the aesthetics of the cooking appliance. In addition, the above settings are beneficial to reducing the space occupied by the control panel 600, the water tank bracket 200 and the food probe 500, and are beneficial to reducing the volume of the cooking appliance.

[0078] In a specific embodiment, when the food probe 500 is received in the probe storage box 400 and the control panel 600 is in the first position, the first end of the food probe 500 and the first end of the water tank 300 are respectively oriented towards the control panel 600. The distance between the first end of the water tank 300 and the control panel 600 is greater than or equal to the distance between the first end of the food probe 500 and the control panel 600.

[0079] Specifically, after the food probe 500 is inserted into the probe storage box 400, the front end of the food probe 500 does not extend beyond the front end of the water tank 300, avoiding interference between the food probe 500 and the control panel 600 and ensuring that the control panel 600 can be lifted and lowered smoothly. When the water tank 300 includes a clean water tank 310 and a wastewater tank 320, after the food probe 500 is inserted into the probe storage box 400, its front end neither extends beyond the front end of the clean water tank 310 nor extends beyond the front end of the wastewater tank 320. Among them, the front end of the food probe 500, the front end of the clean water tank 310 and the front end of the wastewater tank 320 are all oriented towards the control panel 600 when the control panel 600 is in the first position.

[0080] Optionally, after the food probe 500 is inserted into the probe storage box 400, the front ends of the food probe 500, the clean water tank 310, and the wastewater tank 320 are flush, so as to improve the aesthetics of the box structure.

[0081] In a possible implementation, the water tank bracket 200 and the probe storage box 400 are formed as an integral part.

[0082] Schematically, the probe storage box 400 includes a housing having a receiving chamber. The user can put the food probe 500 into the receiving chamber of the probe storage box 400 through the opening or take out the food probe 500 in the receiving chamber from the opening. The water tank bracket 200 and the housing can be formed as an integral part by an integral molding process. The above settings ensure the connection strength between the water tank bracket 200 and the probe storage box 400, and at the same time, the staff does not need to separately install the probe storage box 400 on the water tank bracket 200, which is beneficial to improving the production efficiency of the box structure.

[0083] In one embodiment, as Figure 1 and Figures 4 - 8 shown, the probe storage box 400 includes a housing 410 and a rebounder 420 installed on the housing 410. The housing 410 is fixedly connected to the water tank bracket 200. The first end of the housing 410 is for the food probe 500 to extend into, and the rebounder 420 is installed at the second end of the housing 410. When the food probe 500 is installed in the probe storage box 400 and pushes against the rebounder 420, the rebounder 420 drives the food probe 500 to at least partially pop out of the housing 410.

[0084] Schematically, the first end of the housing 410 is the front end of the housing 410, the second end of the housing 410 is the rear end of the housing 410, and the rebounder 420 can be fixedly installed on the housing 410 through fasteners. After the housing 410 is fixedly connected to the water tank bracket 200, the rebounder 420 is located at the rear side of the water tank bracket 200 and is fixedly connected to the housing 410. Among them, the output end of the rebounder 420 can extend into the receiving chamber of the housing 410 and apply an elastic force to the food probe 500 in the receiving chamber.

[0085] When the food probe 500 is inserted in place, the food probe 500 presses the output end of the rebounder 420; when the user needs to use the food probe 500, the user presses the food probe 500 in the direction close to the rebounder 420. The end of the food probe 500 located inside the housing 410 pushes against the output end of the rebounder 420, and the output end of the rebounder 420 applies an elastic force to the food probe 500, so that the food probe 500 at least partially pops out of the housing 410.

[0086] By installing a rebounder 420 on the housing 410 of the probe storage box 400, the elastic force of the rebounder 420 can be used to eject the food probe 500 from the housing 410, facilitating the user to access the food probe 500.

[0087] In a specific embodiment, as Figures 6 - 8 shown, the probe storage box 400 further includes a cylinder 430. The cylinder 430 is slidably installed in the housing 410 and the cylinder 430 is an elastic member. The cylinder 430 is provided with a receiving channel configured to allow one end of the food probe 500 facing the rebounder 420 to extend therein.

[0088] When the food probe 500 is installed in the probe storage box 400 and drives the cylinder 430 to push against the rebounder 420, the rebounder 420 drives the cylinder 430 to slide relative to the housing 410, so that at least a part of the food probe 500 pops out of the housing 410.

[0089] A stop structure 411 is provided at the first end of the housing 410. The stop structure 411 is configured to abut against the cylinder 430 when the food probe 500 pops out of the housing 410 to limit the cylinder from disengaging from the housing.

[0090] Illustratively, the cylinder 430 can be made of an elastic material such as silica gel or rubber, which is not uniquely limited herein. The cylinder 430 is located inside the housing 410 and can be coaxially arranged with the housing 410. One end of the food probe 500 extending into the interior of the housing 410 can extend into the receiving channel of the cylinder 430. Wherein, one end of the cylinder 430 is open and the other end is blocked. The open end of the cylinder 430 faces the opening of the housing 410, and the blocked end of the cylinder 430 faces the rebounder 420.

[0091] In a possible implementation, when the end of the food probe 500 extends into the receiving channel of the cylinder 430, the food probe 500 squeezes the side wall of the receiving channel, and the cylinder 430 can be fixed on the food probe 500 through the elastic deformation of the cylinder 430.

[0092] When the user needs to use the food probe 500, the user presses the food probe 500 in the direction close to the rebounder 420. One end of the food probe 500 located inside the housing 410 can drive the cylinder 430 to push against the output end of the rebounder 420. The output end of the rebounder 420 applies an elastic force to the cylinder 430, causing the cylinder 430 to slide relative to the housing 410, and further causing at least a part of the food probe 500 to pop out of the housing 410.

[0093] Wherein, the stop structure 411 can be a protruding convex or sheet-like structure on the housing 410. When a part of the food probe 500 pops out of the housing 410, the position of the cylinder 430 is restricted by the stop structure 411 to prevent the cylinder 430 from disengaging from the housing 410.

[0094] In this structure, the cylinder body 430 can protect the food probe 500, that is, the cylinder body 430 can reduce the friction between the food probe 500 and the housing 410. At the same time, the cylinder body 430 can also prevent the elastic force of the rebounder 420 from directly acting on the food probe 500, which is beneficial to improving the service life of the food probe 500. When the cylinder body 430 and the housing 410 are coaxially arranged, the cylinder body 430 can also ensure that the food probe 500 and the housing 410 are coaxial, avoiding tilting and jamming during the insertion or extraction of the food probe 500. By setting a stop structure 411 on the housing 410 to limit the position of the cylinder body 430, the cylinder body 430 can be prevented from disengaging from the housing 410, and further, the food probe 500 in the cylinder body 430 can be prevented from popping out of the housing 410 as a whole.

[0095] In a more specific embodiment, as Figure 7 and Figure 8 shown, a convex block 431 is provided on the outer side wall of the cylinder body 430, and the convex block 431 abuts against the inner wall of the housing 410.

[0096] Exemplarily, the convex block 431 can be an annular protrusion or a block structure provided on the outer side wall of the cylinder body 430, and one end of the convex block 431 away from the main body portion of the cylinder body 430 abuts against the inner wall of the housing 410. When the convex block 431 is a block structure on the cylinder body 430, a plurality of convex blocks 431 are provided in the circumferential direction of the housing 410, and the plurality of convex blocks 431 are arranged at intervals around the axis of the cylinder body 430.

[0097] In a possible implementation manner, a plurality of convex blocks 431 are arranged at intervals along the axial direction of the cylinder body 430 itself to ensure that the housing 410 can reliably support the inner cylinder body 430.

[0098] By providing the convex block 431 on the cylinder body 430, the contact area between the cylinder body 430 and the housing 410 is reduced, and the friction between the cylinder body 430 and the housing 410 is reduced, facilitating the rebounder 420 to push the cylinder body 430 to eject the food probe 500 from the housing 410.

[0099] In other embodiments, the convex block 431 can also be provided on the inner wall of the housing 410, and one end of the convex block 431 away from the main body portion of the housing 410 abuts against the outer side wall of the cylinder body 430.

[0100] As Figure 6 and Figure 8 shown, in a specific implementation manner, the food probe 500 includes a holding portion 510 and a detection portion 520 connected to the holding portion 510, and a receiving groove 412 for the holding portion 510 to extend into is provided at the first end of the housing 410.

[0101] Schematically, in the radial direction of the food probe 500, the holding portion 510 protrudes from the main body portion of the food probe 500. After the food probe 500 is inserted into the housing 410, the holding portion 510 is located at the end of the housing 410 with an opening. Among them, the shape of the receiving groove 412 can match the shape of the holding portion 510.

[0102] It is worth mentioning that when the food probe 500 pushes against the rebounder 420, the rebounder 420 can drive the holding portion 510 of the food probe 500 to pop out of the housing 410. The above setting facilitates the user to pull out the food probe 500 from the probe storage box 400.

[0103] This application also provides a cooking appliance, including the above-mentioned box structure.

[0104] The cooking appliance provided by this application is a cooking appliance with a steaming function or a humidifying baking function, such as an oven or a steam oven, etc. For the cooking appliance provided by this application, due to the adoption of the above-mentioned box structure, when the food probe 500 is not in use, the user can place the food probe 500 inside the probe storage box 400, avoiding the user forgetting the position of the food probe 500, and the food probe 500 is not easy to lose. In addition, the structure of the inner liner 100 of the cooking appliance does not need to be changed, which is beneficial to reducing the production cost of the cooking appliance.
