Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of kitchen appliances, and in particular to an integrated cooking device. Background Art

[0002] There's a significant user demand for both steaming and baking. Steaming involves continuously supplying high-temperature steam to the inner container of the food, allowing the food to be cooked purely through steaming. Baking involves continuously circulating a hot air flow through the inner container, allowing the food to be cooked through hot air baking. Accordingly, the most basic form of kitchen appliance is a steamer for steaming and an oven for baking. With the increasing sophistication of kitchen appliances, a combination of steaming and baking (such as tender baking) has emerged. This requires the addition of steam-generating components, such as evaporating trays, to the oven, which provide steam (the cooking medium for steaming). These components are equipped with corresponding steam delivery piping and control logic. Because the two cooking media overlap (steam), steam-baking and baking functions (including both baking and steaming) have emerged on the market. Furthermore, given the limited space available in kitchens for cooking equipment, users are increasingly seeking to fit as many multifunctional appliances as possible within this limited space. Therefore, oven-steamers with a certain degree of integration can meet this demand. Furthermore, to accommodate the currently common embedded installation, the market has also seen the emergence of oven-steamers, oven-fryers, and combination ovens with gas stoves.

[0003] Take the combination of a steam-bake machine and a gas stove as an example. For the steam-bake machine, the cooking media for steaming and baking are steam and hot air flow (which may also include steam), respectively. Therefore, there will inevitably be a need for heat dissipation during the cooking process, such as heat dissipation of the door assembly (for example, steam and hot air flow radiate heat to the door assembly, thereby increasing its temperature. The door assembly is close to the user, and for safety reasons, heat dissipation of the door assembly is required). In addition, there are related structures and components in the cooking equipment that require heat dissipation, such as those located at the top, side, etc. For example, the working reliability of the components is affected by temperature (for example, on the one hand, the components themselves are heat sources and will therefore heat up due to being in a long working state. On the other hand, the heat radiated by steam and hot air flow to the top of the inner pot where the components are located will also cause their temperature to rise). For the gas stove, the part close to the stove is a heat radiation area, and the components that need to be dissipated therein are also heat-generating components. Since the cooking equipment has multiple functions, the amount of heat that needs to be dissipated will increase. Since cooking equipment itself has a certain degree of integration, various heat may overlap and interfere with each other. As a result, there is considerable room for improvement in how to effectively dissipate heat from cooking equipment.

[0004] In addition, the current cooling fan is usually installed on the top of the inner tank. The top-mounted cooling fan will affect the expansion space of the top of the inner tank to a certain extent. For example, it will significantly increase the size of the equipment in the height direction and also limit the space for increasing the volume of the inner tank in the height direction. Utility Model Content

[0005] The present application aims to at least partially solve the above technical problems and / or solve at least part of the above technical problems, specifically, how to improve the integration of the device as much as possible while dissipating heat for an integrated cooking device that includes multiple functions.

[0006] In view of this, the present application provides an integrated cooking device, which includes: the device includes: a cooking body, which includes a frame and at least one cooking cavity arranged on the frame; a heat dissipation duct, which includes an air outlet side; and a heat dissipation fan assembly, which includes an air outlet and at least one air inlet, and the gas in the heat dissipation duct can reach the heat dissipation fan assembly via the air outlet side and the air inlet and be discharged through the air outlet; wherein, at least a portion of the heat dissipation fan assembly is arranged on the side of the cooking body; wherein, at least one reserved hole is provided on the frame, and a quick-installation structure can be provided at the reserved hole.

[0007] This configuration improves the height integration of the cooking device by positioning the cooling fan assembly on the side of the cooking unit. This can reduce the height of the device and / or increase the volume of the cooking chamber. Furthermore, by providing space for the door assembly and accommodating the device, the functionality of the device can be enhanced while maintaining a high level of integration.

[0008] By adding quick-install structures to the reserved holes, it is expected that the corresponding installation locations of the quick-install structures will be more compatible with the layout of the functional modules within the product. This allows for the production of similarly structured parts of the frame using a shared mold. It is understood that those skilled in the art can determine the number of reserved holes, their location, structural form, and the corresponding quick-install structure functions based on actual needs.

[0009] It should be noted that a quick-install structure should be understood as a structure that can adapt to the device and can be installed in a predetermined hole at the corresponding location. The structure may be a mounting carrier, have a specific function, or complete a connection / function by cooperating with other structures in the device.

[0010] It is understood that those skilled in the art can determine the structure of the heat dissipation fan assembly, the specific side on which it is installed, and which part of the heat dissipation fan assembly is installed based on actual needs. For example, the heat dissipation fan assembly includes two parts, and the two parts are installed on the same side or different sides of the cooking body.

[0011] For the above-mentioned integrated cooking device, in a possible embodiment, the frame includes a first side panel and a second side panel arranged opposite to each other, wherein, in an assembled state, the first side panel and the second side panel are symmetrically provided with the at least one reserved hole position.

[0012] With this configuration, the first side panel and the second side panel can be processed using a set of molds.

[0013] For the above-mentioned integrated cooking device, in a possible implementation manner, the reserved hole positions include gas structure hole positions and / or air outlet hole positions.

[0014] With this structure, it is possible to flexibly set the gas joint and adjust the air outlet position according to actual needs.

[0015] For the above-mentioned integrated cooking device, in a possible implementation manner, the frame has a mounting position, and the accessory quick-installation structure can be added to the frame through the mounting position.

[0016] This structure allows the frame to be more flexibly adapted to the device's installation requirements. For example, the mounting locations can be mounting holes, mounting slots, or any other structure that allows for the addition of a corresponding accessory quick-installation mechanism to the frame. The mounting locations can be located anywhere on the frame, such as on the side panels or back panel.

[0017] It is understandable that those skilled in the art can determine the function / structural form of the accessory, the structural form of the corresponding accessory quick-install structure, and the connection method between the accessory quick-install structure and the installation position according to actual needs.

[0018] For the above-mentioned integrated cooking device, in a possible embodiment, the cooking body includes a door assembly configured in the cooking cavity, and the heat dissipation duct includes an air inlet side, and heat from the door assembly can enter the heat dissipation duct through the air inlet side.

[0019] By such a structure, it is possible to seek to cool the cooking door assembly to a certain extent through the heat dissipation duct. It should be noted that the cooking door assembly mentioned here corresponds to the first / second door assembly in the specific embodiment.

[0020] It is understandable that those skilled in the art can determine how to implement the heat from the cooking door assembly into the heat dissipation duct through the air inlet side based on actual needs, such as setting the air inlet side near the cooking door assembly, aligning the air inlet side with the heat dissipation port on the cooking door assembly to at least a certain extent, etc.

[0021] In one possible embodiment, the cooking chamber comprises multiple chambers arranged along its width. The heat dissipation duct's air inlet is positioned near a location corresponding to one of the cooking door assemblies, while the heat dissipation duct's air outlet is positioned on the cooking body at locations corresponding to other cooking chambers. This configuration allows for a longer air flow path within the heat dissipation duct, thereby enabling the most comprehensive and efficient heat dissipation possible for the areas / components to be dissipated.

[0022] For the above-mentioned integrated cooking device, in a possible embodiment, the heat dissipation fan assembly includes: a heat dissipation air box, the at least one air inlet includes a first air inlet and a second air inlet arranged in the heat dissipation air box; and a heat dissipation fan, which is arranged in the heat dissipation air box; wherein, the gas in the heat dissipation air duct can enter the heat dissipation air box through the air outlet side and the first air inlet; wherein, the gas from the installation space on the side of the cooking body can enter the heat dissipation air box through the second air inlet.

[0023] This configuration allows for better heat dissipation requirements for the device through bidirectional air intake. Specifically, the heat dissipation medium from both the first and second air inlets is collected and discharged centrally by the same heat dissipation fan assembly, thereby improving the integration of the cooking device. It should be noted that the first and second air inlets herein correspond to the first and second heat dissipation air inlets in the specific embodiment.

[0024] It should be noted that the installation space of the cooking body here should be understood as: the cooking body includes an outer shell, and an installation space is formed inside the shell. The installation space accommodates an inner tank forming a cooking cavity, and related structures such as the first heat dissipation duct, components, and heat dissipation fan assembly arranged on the outside. There is a certain margin between the installation space and these structures accommodated therein. The second air inlet is mainly used to meet the heat dissipation needs of the surface of the structure accommodated therein and the part close to the surface, such as the installation space in the side, bottom, etc.

[0025] For the above-mentioned integrated cooking device, in a possible embodiment, the heat dissipation bellows includes a first heat dissipation chamber and a second heat dissipation chamber that are connected to each other, wherein the first air inlet and the second air inlet are respectively arranged at positions of the heat dissipation bellows corresponding to the first heat dissipation chamber and the second heat dissipation chamber; and / or the air outlet is directly connected to the first heat dissipation chamber and / or the second heat dissipation chamber.

[0026] Through such a structure, it is possible to effectively dissipate heat from the equipment through the dual-chamber air intake method.

[0027] For the above-mentioned integrated cooking device, in a possible implementation manner, the at least one air inlet includes a third air inlet, and the gas from the cooking cavity can enter the heat dissipation air box through the third air inlet.

[0028] This configuration further optimizes device integration and ensures operational reliability. Specifically, the first and second air inlets collect and discharge heat dissipation from different locations, effectively cooling components and other parts. The third air inlet collects and discharges air from the cooking chamber, ensuring the reliability of the cooking device. It should be noted that the third air inlet herein corresponds to the air intake connection structure described in the specific embodiment.

[0029] In one possible embodiment, the third air inlet can be connected or disconnected with the heat dissipation duct according to the pressure in the cooking cavity. With this configuration, the reliability of the cooking device can be ensured by switching the connection state of the third air inlet.

[0030] It is understood that those skilled in the art can determine the switching method and the structure to be relied upon for switching the connection between the third air inlet and the heat dissipation duct based on actual needs. Examples include, but are not limited to: disposing a pressure relief valve at the third air inlet, which opens to partially discharge the cooking medium when the pressure in the cooking chamber reaches a certain value; disposing a rotatable or retractable blocking structure at the third air inlet, which, when an additional pressure sensor or other pressure detection component detects that the pressure in the cooking chamber reaches a certain value, moves the blocking structure to connect the third air inlet to the heat dissipation bellows, thereby allowing some of the cooking medium to be discharged.

[0031] By adopting such a structure, it is possible to effectively dissipate heat for the device through a dual air inlet method. It should be noted that the second air inlet here corresponds to the second heat dissipation air inlet in the specific embodiment.

[0032] In a possible embodiment, the heat dissipation bellows includes a bellows body, a first cover body and a second cover body, wherein the bellows body and the first cover body form the first heat dissipation chamber, and the bellows body and the second cover body form the second heat dissipation chamber.

[0033] Through such a structure, a possible structural form of the bellows main body is given.

[0034] In a possible implementation, the heat dissipation fan assembly includes a heat dissipation fan, and at least a portion of the heat dissipation fan is accommodated in the first heat dissipation chamber and / or the second heat dissipation chamber.

[0035] This configuration provides a possible installation method for the cooling fan. For example, if the cooling fan is located in two cooling chambers, the two cooling chambers can be connected due to the installation of the cooling fan. However, if the cooling fan is located in only one chamber, a connecting structure is required to achieve the connection between the two chambers. For example, in addition to being located in two cooling chambers, the cooling fan can also extend beyond the chamber of the cooling fan.

[0036] In a possible embodiment, the heat dissipation fan is a centrifugal fan, and / or the first air inlet is arranged near the top of the heat dissipation air box; and / or the second air inlet is arranged on the side of the heat dissipation air box.

[0037] Through such a configuration, a possible structural form of the heat dissipation fan assembly is provided.

[0038] In a possible embodiment, the cooking body includes a door assembly disposed in the cooking cavity, and the heat dissipation duct includes an air inlet side, and heat from the door assembly can enter the heat dissipation duct through the air inlet side.

[0039] This configuration allows for a certain degree of cooling of the door assembly through the heat dissipation duct. It is understood that those skilled in the art can determine how to allow heat from the door assembly to enter the heat dissipation duct via the air inlet side based on actual needs. For example, the air inlet side can be positioned near the door assembly, or the air inlet side can be aligned with the heat dissipation vents on the door assembly to at least a certain degree. It should be noted that the air inlet side herein corresponds to the first air inlet side in the specific embodiment.

[0040] In one possible embodiment of the above-mentioned integrated cooking device, the device includes a cooker unit, which is arranged above the cooking body. An exhaust area capable of communicating with the external environment is provided on or near the cooker unit.

[0041] The gas in the heat dissipation duct is discharged to the external environment through the air outlet and the exhaust area.

[0042] This configuration allows for the exhaust of heat from both units, directing the heat from the upper exhaust pipe. This prevents heat from being directed directly onto the user's body (e.g., the legs), particularly from the lower cooking unit, thus improving the user experience. Furthermore, this integration approach is more conducive to fully embedded or fused-embedded installation.

[0043] For the above-mentioned integrated cooking device, in a possible implementation manner, the stove unit includes a stove shell, the stove shell includes a stove surface, and the exhaust area is provided on the stove surface.

[0044] This configuration provides a possible arrangement of the exhaust area. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0097] The preferred embodiments of the present application are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Those skilled in the art should understand that these embodiments are only used to explain the technical principles of the present application and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present application. For example, although this embodiment is combined with a steam-bake-in-one machine including steaming and baking (including hot air baking and steam-bake) functions and a stove assembly all arranged above a double-cavity steam-bake-in-one machine (such as in this example, the stove assembly includes two stove units), wherein the steam-bake-in-one machine is a double-cavity structure to introduce the integrated cooking device, this is not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present application. Without departing from the principles of the present application, those skilled in the art can apply the present application to other application scenarios, such as a steam-bake-fryer, a steam-bake-in-one machine, etc. In addition, the double-cavity structure of the integrated cooking device including a steaming cavity and a baking cavity is only an exemplary description. Those skilled in the art can adjust the relative position between the two cavities (such as left and right, up and down, etc.), and can flexibly arrange the number and function of the cavities, such as the cavity including one steaming, one baking, one steaming and baking, one steaming and two baking, etc.

[0098] It should be noted that in the description of this application, terms such as "center," "upper," "lower," "left," "right," "vertical," "horizontal," "inner," and "outer" indicating directions or positional relationships are based on the directions or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings. This is merely for ease of description and does not indicate or imply that the device or element must have a specific orientation, be constructed, or operate in a specific orientation. Therefore, it should not be understood as limiting this application. In addition, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be understood as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0099] Furthermore, it should be noted that, in the description of this application, unless otherwise expressly specified or limited, the terms "installed," "set," and "connected" should be understood in a broad sense. For example, they can refer to fixed connections, detachable connections, or integral connections; they can refer to direct connections, indirect connections through an intermediate medium, or internal connections between two components. Those skilled in the art will understand the specific meanings of the above terms in this application based on the specific circumstances.

[0100] In addition, to better illustrate the present application, numerous specific details are provided in the following detailed description. Those skilled in the art will appreciate that the present application can be implemented without certain specific details. In some instances, gas stoves and other cooktops, as well as the principles of steaming / baking functions, which are well known to those skilled in the art, are not described in detail in order to highlight the main purpose of the present application.

[0101] The following will refer to the attached Figures 1 to 17 At least a part of is used to describe the integrated cooking device of the present application.

[0102] Assuming that the dual-cavity steam-bake combination machine uses an independent steam-bake method, it is necessary to equip both the first cooking chamber corresponding to the steam-function cooking unit and the second cooking chamber corresponding to the baking function with a steam-generating device such as an evaporator. The structural form of adding an evaporator to the second cooking chamber will increase the cost of the equipment and, to a certain extent, increase the complexity of the water circuit corresponding to the steam supply. In addition, since the evaporator has a limited water storage capacity and is affected by many factors such as its heating principle and water replenishment logic, the steam-bake combination machine will inevitably encounter problems such as yellowing due to dry burning, water overflow due to excessive water replenishment, and scale formation in the evaporator during operation. As a result, when problems arise, both systems for the dual chambers need to be repaired, increasing maintenance costs. In addition, the configuration of two sets of evaporators and corresponding pipelines will also increase the size of the steam-bake combination machine. Therefore, in this application, the first and second cooking chambers are equipped with a single steam generating device (e.g., a steam generator), serving as the steam source for both chambers. Furthermore, corresponding piping and logic are configured for both chambers to achieve evaporation supply for both chambers. However, there is still room for improvement in steam piping and other related aspects.

[0103] In a possible embodiment, the integrated cooking device mainly includes a steam-bake machine 100 and a stove unit 200. For example, the stove unit 200 is arranged above the steam-bake machine 100. It can be installed in the kitchen in an embedded manner, and can better integrate with the decorative style and taste of the kitchen while effectively saving the installation space. For example, a fully embedded installation is adopted, that is, the cooktop of the stove unit is roughly flush with other parts (countertops), and the steam-bake machine is located in a cabinet below. The steam-bake machine mainly includes a cooking body 1, a first cooking unit corresponding to the steaming function (such as a steaming function cooking unit 2), a second cooking unit corresponding to the baking function (including a pure baking function and a baking function with the participation of the steaming function) (such as a baking function cooking unit 3), and a steam section 4 that releases steam as a cooking medium to both the first cooking unit and the second cooking unit. In this example, the cooking body is formed with two cooking chambers for holding ingredients to be cooked. That is, in this example, the steam-bake combination machine has a dual-cavity structure. For example, the cooking body 1 includes two inner pots corresponding to the first cooking unit and the second cooking unit, and the two inner pots are respectively formed with a first cooking chamber 11 and a second cooking chamber 12 corresponding to the first cooking unit and the second cooking unit. For example, a shelf can be provided in the inner pot, and the ingredients to be cooked can be placed directly on the shelf or placed on a container (such as a plate) placed on the shelf. Alternatively, a shelf structure such as a recessed structure or a rotatable plate can be provided on the inner side of the bottom of the inner pot, and the ingredients to be cooked can be placed directly on the shelf structure, or after the ingredients to be cooked are placed in the container, the bottom of the container can be placed in a position corresponding to the shelf structure. Since the realization of steaming and baking functions is closely related to the temperature of the cooking medium, heating components such as heating tubes can be set on the inner side of the top, inner side, and inner bottom of the inner pot, so that when necessary, the cooking medium in the cooking cavity (the hot air flow circulating in the second cooking cavity and / or the steam permeating the first / second cooking cavity) can be mainly heated or auxiliary / supplementary heated.

[0104] In one possible embodiment, the steam unit 4 primarily includes a steam generating device 41 and first and second steam pipelines communicating with the first and second cooking cavities. The steam generating device may be, for example, a steam pan or steam generator. The steam generator is mounted on the back of the cooking unit (where the installation space of the cooking unit is located near the first cooking cavity) via a bracket 411 (e.g., a Z-shaped bracket). The steam generating device primarily includes a steam generating device body and a water storage container (e.g., a fresh water box). The steam generating device body forms a steam generating chamber and is equipped with steam generating heating components such as a heating pipe. The fresh water box 46 is primarily used to supply water (steam generator) for steam generation to the steam generating chamber. For example, water is pumped into the steam generating chamber by a fresh water pump 42. The heating pipe heats the water in the steam generating chamber, thereby generating steam, which serves as the cooking medium. The steam pipeline is primarily used to distribute generated steam to the first cooking chamber and / or the second cooking chamber. This allows: the first cooking chamber, where the food to be cooked is located, to be filled with steam, thereby enabling the food to be cooked purely by steaming, according to a corresponding control program; and / or the second cooking chamber, where the food to be cooked is located, to be added with steam, thereby enabling the food to be cooked by methods such as steam grilling, according to a corresponding control program. A first steam dispensing port 431 corresponding to the first evaporation pipeline and a second steam dispensing port 432 corresponding to the second evaporation pipeline are positioned as close to the side walls of the cooking unit as possible to minimize the possibility of steam turbulence between different operating modes.

[0105] In one possible embodiment, the steam section 4 includes a water collection box 44, which is primarily used to collect, for example, accumulated water during the cooking process, high-humidity water vapor within the first cooking chamber, high-temperature, high-humidity gas within the second cooking chamber, and condensed water as described below. For example, the collection box can be equipped with a drainage pump, and the collected water can be discharged via the drainage pump to a wastewater box 45, such as one provided with the entire machine. The wastewater box can then be regularly cleaned and the accumulated water removed. In this example, the water collection box 44 is mounted on the lower layer of the Z-shaped bracket, and the steam generator is mounted on the upper layer of the Z-shaped bracket. Obviously, those skilled in the art can select the specific form of the mounting structure based on actual needs, such as installing the two on two separate structures.

[0106] In addition to the first cooling duct at the top, the cooling fan assembly described below also features a vertical cooling duct on the back of the main cooking unit (the area between the backs of the two cooking units and the back of the main cooking unit housing). Because the back of the first cooking unit generates less heat than the second cooking unit, the steam generator and components requiring heat dissipation, such as the electronic control panel 16, can be located on the back of the main cooking unit, near the first cooking unit. Furthermore, the bellows body, front cover, and rear cover of the cooling fan can be made of plastic with sufficient temperature resistance. Injection molding can simplify the manufacturing process of the cooling fan assembly.

[0107] In this example, the electrical control panel is located below the heat dissipation fan assembly and on the back side away from the side corresponding to the grilling function cooking unit (along the width direction). The steam generator is located below the heat dissipation fan assembly and located near the steaming function cooking unit and the grilling function cooking unit (because steam needs to be released for the grilling function cooking unit at the same time). The water collection box is generally located below the electrical control panel, and the water pump is generally located below the steam generator. The cooking body is formed with two chambers below the water collection box and the steam generator, each of which contains a waste water box and a clean water box. Obviously, those skilled in the art can make appropriate adjustments to the arrangement positions of the components and the relative positions between the components, such as arranging the steam generator, water collection box, water pump, etc. in other integrated ways, arranging part of the electrical control panel at the top, etc.

[0108] In one possible embodiment, the grilling cooking unit 3 generally includes a fan cover assembly 31, which is mainly used to provide a circulating hot air flow into the second cooking cavity 12. For example, the fan cover assembly mainly includes a fan such as a centrifugal fan 311 (which can be called a uniform temperature fan) and heating components such as a heating coil. The uniform temperature fan is mainly used to ensure that the temperature of the hot air flow in the second cooking cavity is as uniform and consistent as possible. In order to reduce the operating temperature of the uniform temperature fan, an insulating structure such as thermal insulation cotton can be set between the uniform temperature fan and the second cooking cavity to effectively isolate the heat from the second cooking cavity from generating continuous heat radiation to the uniform temperature fan area. In this example, the fan cover assembly includes a fan cover 312, and the cooking body 1 includes a back plate. In this example, the cooking body 1 includes a back cover shell 14, which includes a back plate portion 141 and two side plate portions 142 extending forward from both sides of the back plate. A hot air chamber is formed between the back plate portion 141 and the fan cover. A centrifugal fan is disposed in the hot air chamber. Heating components such as heating coils can be disposed in the hot air chamber or elsewhere near the hot air chamber. For example, if the heating component is a heating coil, the heating coil can be disposed in the hot air chamber, and the centrifugal fan can be disposed in the area enclosed by the heating coil.

[0109] Obviously, those skilled in the art can determine the structural form of the fan cover / backplate, its location relative to the cooking unit, and the connection method between the two based on actual needs. For example, the backplate is a separate structure. In this example, the backplate is provided on the side of the cooking unit facing away from the user (e.g., the rear side). Obviously, the backplate can also be provided on other sides (e.g., the left or right side) in addition to the rear side. The fan cover and backplate can be connected to each other through methods such as snap-fitting, screwing, welding, etc., or they can be integrally formed.

[0110] Furthermore, the combination of the back plate and the fan cover is merely an exemplary description of how the hot air chamber is formed. Those skilled in the art can determine the specific form of the hot air chamber based on actual needs. For example, the fan cover is provided with a restraining structure that allows the aforementioned centrifugal fan to be installed in and removed from the hot air chamber. For example, the restraining structure includes a plurality of limit plates arranged along the circumference of the hot air chamber that can be pivoted open relative to the fan cover. In this way, it can be considered that the fan cover and the restraining structure form the hot air chamber, or it can be considered that the back plate and the fan cover with the additional restraining structure form the hot air chamber.

[0111] It should be noted that the hot air chamber referred to herein is not necessarily a complete chamber, but rather should be understood as a mounting location for the centrifugal fan and heating coil. Therefore, those skilled in the art can determine the structure and connectivity of the hot air chamber based on actual needs. For example, the centrifugal fan and heating coil can be located in the same chamber or separated into two connected chambers. The hot air chamber can be connected to the second cooking chamber via multiple connecting holes or by having a certain portion of the chamber open.

[0112] For example, the fan housing may be provided with a return air vent near the centrifugal fan, and also with supply air vents. For example, the supply air vents may be arranged approximately along the circumference of the return air vent or at locations along the circumference. For example, the centrifugal fan includes a motor and a fan. The motor rotates the fan facing the return air vent. The rotation of the fan causes air within the inner pot to flow through the return air vent and into the hot air chamber. In this example, the heating coil is positioned within the hot air chamber at a location corresponding to the return air vent, and the fan is positioned within the area enclosed by the heating coil. Thus, under the action of the fan, air within the inner pot flows through the return air vent and is drawn into the hot air chamber. There, it is heated by the heating tube, converting it into a heat-carrying hot air stream that serves as the cooking medium. The fan then propels the hot air stream toward the outer supply air vents and, from there, re-enters the inner pot. This cycle continuously distributes the hot air stream to the surface of the food to be cooked, thereby cooking the food in a hot air grilling manner through a corresponding control program.

[0113] For integrated cooking devices with different functions, the cooking body 1 primarily comprises a frame 10 and functional modules disposed within or on (e.g., above or in front of) the frame. In this example, the functional modules include cooking units (11, 12) disposed within the frame and a stove unit 200 disposed thereon. The frame is typically assembled from multiple components, upon which structures such as air outlets and gas connections are added to facilitate its application to products with corresponding functions. However, currently, a dedicated frame design and manufacturing solution is often required for each product, which increases mold investment costs. Currently, a small number of components can be shared across different product models, but these often result in increased costs due to product compatibility issues. For example, for a fixed gas connection, assuming a side panel with a gas connection is well-suited for product A, but applied to product B, the gas main may become excessively long due to the location of the gas connection, thereby increasing costs.

[0114] In view of this, this application adopts a frame structure that can be produced using only one set of molds, and the frame can be used as a frame for multiple products. For example, in this example, the left and right side panels of the frame share a set of press-forming and stretching molds. To make the left and right side panels compatible with three products, holes are reserved in the side panels as much as possible. Quick-change mechanisms are added to these reserved holes to accommodate different product requirements. For example, the press-forming at the air outlet is set as symmetrically as possible.

[0115] The following is an example of how to produce three different side panels using one set of molds.

[0116] Example 1

[0117] Main reference Figure 15 In this example, the integrated cooking device includes an integrated stove (gas stove and range hood) and a disinfection cabinet. The frame 1 of the device is installed as follows: vertical beams 106 are fixed on the inner sides of the left and right side panels respectively, and the burner support plate 103 is installed on the vertical beam installation position 105 above the vertical beams 106 on the left and right sides through two support plate brackets 4 at both ends. The (left and right) sides of the disinfection cabinet liner 109 are respectively fixed to the front of the (left and right) side panels, such as fixed to the bend on the inner side of the front of the (left and right) side panels. The lower part of the disinfection cabinet liner 109 is fixed to the upper front side in contact with the bottom plate 1012, and the two ends of the rear part of the disinfection cabinet liner 109 are respectively installed on the vertical beam 106. In this embodiment, the gas interface hole 1010 is set at a position near the front above the rear side panel, so a gas interface quick-change structure is configured at the gas interface hole 1010 in the front of the right side panel 101. The punch can be replaced at the air outlet position 1011 according to actual needs to meet the left or right air outlet requirements of the product.

[0118] Example 2

[0119] Main reference Figure 16 In this example, the integrated cooking device includes an integrated stove (gas stove and range hood) and a steam / bake module. The frame is installed as follows:

[0120] The installation method of the support plate bracket 104, the stove support plate 103 and the vertical beam 105 is basically the same as that of Example 1. In this example, the steaming / baking module is installed on the left and right columns 1013 (such as providing a connecting structure such as a clip, screw, etc. that can realize the installation on the column), and then the two columns 1013 are respectively installed on the (left and right) side panels. Among them, an accessory quick-change structure 1014 is fixed at the lower front end of the right side panel 101. For example, in this example, the accessory quick-change structure 1014 is a convex bump with a hexagonal through hole for installing a rivet nut. In this embodiment, a gas interface quick-change structure is configured at the rear gas interface hole position 1010. Similar to Example 1, the punch can be replaced at the air outlet position 1011 according to actual needs to meet the left and right air outlet requirements of the product. The frame thus formed can be used as the frame of the stove-steaming and baking all-in-one machine of this embodiment.

[0121] Example 3

[0122] Main reference Figure 17 In this example, the integrated cooking device includes a steaming and baking module (such as a steaming and baking all-in-one machine). The installation method of the steaming module and the baking module is similar to that of Example 2. In this example, cross beams 1015 are respectively installed on the left and right side panels, and the steaming and baking module is installed on the cross beams 1015. In this example, there is no burner support plate 103, support plate bracket 104, vertical beam 106, etc., and there is no need to configure a gas interface at the gas interface hole 1010.

[0123] In this way, the left and right side panels can adopt a press-forming design scheme that uses a common set of stretching dies, such as reserving holes on the left and right side panels as much as possible. On this basis, by configuring a gas interface quick-change structure at the position of the gas interface hole 1010, it is possible to adapt to the layout of the gas interface of different products. By setting an air outlet quick-change structure 1011 at a position corresponding to the air outlet position of the frame, the punch can be replaced as required to meet the left and right air outlet requirements of the product. By adding accessory quick-change structures 1014 such as convex humps at positions such as the side panels, it is possible to better adapt to the installation details of different products.

[0124] In one possible embodiment, the cooking body 1 is provided with an openable (such as vertically / horizontally pivoted) door assembly on the operating side close to the user (such as the operating side is the side facing the user, which can usually be called the front side), such as one door assembly can be provided for each of the two inner pots, one door assembly can be shared by the two inner pots (such as the door assembly can be a rigid structure or can include two relatively movable door parts), one door assembly can be provided for each of the two inner pots and then a door assembly shared by the two can be added (two-layer door), etc. As in this example, the door assembly includes a first door assembly 151 and a second door assembly 152 corresponding to the steaming function cooking unit and the baking function cooking unit, respectively.

[0125] Under normal circumstances, in order to ensure the performance of the integrated cooking equipment, the working environment of the door, power board, and related electrical components with temperature requirements (such as those arranged on the top and back of the cooking body) needs to be within a certain temperature. After the steaming cooking unit, the baking cooking unit and the stove assembly are combined, more heat may be generated in a limited space. In this way, it is necessary to perform more sufficient heat dissipation for the integrated cooking equipment. For example, the integrated steaming cooking unit and the baking cooking unit can certainly better meet the cooking needs of the user. For example, the user can use the dual-cavity synchronous operation method to achieve simultaneous steaming and baking cooking. However, since the units with different functions all involve heat sources during operation, when multiple functional modules are running, different heat sources may have cross- and superposition effects on each other, which will cause the equipment to have poor heat dissipation problems.

[0126] In a possible embodiment, the cooking body 1 is provided with a placement portion below the (first and second) cooking cavities, the placement portion is formed with two placement spaces and is equipped with a reversible third door assembly 153. As in this example, the widths of the two placement spaces are roughly the same as the widths of the (first and second) cooking cavities. Figure 1 In the scheme, the storage box 13 is accommodated in the placement space on the left, and the waste water box 45 and the clean water box 46 in the evaporation part are provided in the placement space on the right. For example, heat-insulating gloves, cooking tools, and shelves that can be placed in the cooking cavity can be placed in the storage box.

[0127] In one possible embodiment, the third door assembly includes a door assembly base pivotally mounted on the cooking unit. In this example, the door assembly base includes a web 1531 and a glass panel 5532 positioned outside the web. If the glass panel is larger than the web, the outer edge of the glass panel can be aligned with the front vertical panel of the cooking unit. Obviously, the combination of the web and glass panel is merely an example, and those skilled in the art can flexibly select a suitable structure based on actual needs, such as an integrally molded door assembly base. The door assembly base is hinged 1533 and pivotally mounted near the bottom of the cooking unit. This allows storage boxes, wastewater drawers, and fresh water drawers to be concealed within the storage space when the third door assembly base is closed. When the third door assembly base is closed, the first, second, and third door assemblies are substantially coplanar, ensuring the smoothness of the appliance.

[0128] When the third door assembly base is open, operations such as removing the storage box, regularly cleaning wastewater, and adding water to the clean water box can be easily performed. For example, the hinge assembly primarily comprises two hinges rotatably connected by a shaft. One hinge is fixedly attached to a wall corresponding to the placement space of the cooking unit, while the other hinge is fixed to the web. Obviously, the hinge assembly is merely an example, and those skilled in the art can flexibly select the hinge assembly based on actual needs.

[0129] In one possible embodiment, the third door assembly includes a docking assembly, which includes a first docking structure 1534 disposed on the door assembly base. The first docking structure can be connected to the original structure of the cooking main body or an additional second docking structure 1535 when the third door assembly is in a closed state, thereby allowing the third door assembly to remain in a continuously closed state. In this example, the first docking structure is fixed to a connecting block on the web, and a slot is provided on the connecting block. Accordingly, the second docking structure includes a movable snap joint, such as the snap joint movably forming the second docking structure. In this way, when the third door assembly is pushed upward to switch to the closed state, the snap joint enters the snap joint slot. When the third door assembly is pulled downward, the snap joint moves out of the snap joint, releasing the constraint relationship between the two, which is achieved through the snap joint. In this way, the third door assembly can be switched to the open state. For example, the part of the card connector near the root is a sheet structure that can produce a certain amount of elastic deformation, and the card connector and the second docking structure can achieve a certain amount of movement (such as rotation, etc.) through relevant mechanical structures and relevant logical control. Taking the latter as an example, any reasonable and feasible component with automatic rotation function on the market can be used as the second docking component. For example, when it is necessary to replenish water in the clean water box, press the position near the middle of the third door body component, and the card connector of the second docking structure can produce a certain amount of movement and thus be loosened from the card slot. At this time, turn the door body component down 90°, and you can take out the clean water box and replenish water in it.

[0130] Obviously, the above-mentioned first docking structure and second docking structure are only an exemplary description of the docking assembly. For example, the installation positions of the two can be interchanged. For example, the first clamping structure is a clamping column, and the second docking structure includes a pair of clamping limit columns, and the clamping column can be clamped between the two clamping limit columns.

[0131] In one possible embodiment, the integrated cooking device includes a first heat dissipation part 5 arranged in the steam-bake combination machine, and the first heat dissipation part includes a first heat dissipation duct 51 and a heat dissipation fan assembly 52. As in this example, the first heat dissipation duct is arranged at the top of the cooking body, and the heat dissipation fan assembly is mainly used to draw air through the first heat dissipation duct to a position corresponding to the heat dissipation fan assembly and then discharge it, thereby dissipating heat to the aforementioned power board, electrical components, etc. to ensure their operational reliability.

[0132] Typically, the heat dissipation fan assembly is a cross-flow fan installed on the top of the cooking unit and connected to the first heat dissipation duct. However, a top-mounted design will somewhat limit the space available for expansion at the top of the inner pot. For example, it will significantly increase the height of the device and limit the space available for increasing the inner pot volume in the same direction. Therefore, in this application, the heat dissipation fan assembly is installed on the side of the cooking unit.

[0133] In this example, the heat dissipation fan assembly 52 is located on the back of the cooking unit. More specifically, in this example, the heat dissipation fan assembly is located on the back of the cooking unit, corresponding to the steam cooking unit. This reduces the height of the device, making it more compact and improving its integration.

[0134] In one possible embodiment, the heat dissipation fan assembly 52 mainly includes a heat dissipation air box 521 and a first heat dissipation fan 522. For example, if the first heat dissipation fan is a centrifugal fan, the heat dissipation air box 521 mainly includes an air box body 5211, a first cover 5212 (such as a front cover) provided on the front side of the air box body, and a second cover 5213 (such as a rear cover) provided on the rear side of the air box body. A first heat dissipation chamber 5214 (such as a front heat dissipation chamber) is enclosed between the air box body and the front cover, and a second heat dissipation chamber 5215 (such as a rear heat dissipation chamber) is enclosed between the air box body and the rear cover. The first heat dissipation chamber 5214 and the second heat dissipation chamber 5215 are connected to each other, and the first heat dissipation fan 522 is installed in the heat dissipation air box. In this example, a portion of the first heat dissipation fan 52 is located in the front heat dissipation chamber and a portion is located in the rear heat dissipation chamber. Therefore, the two heat dissipation chambers can be connected by means of the installation of the first heat dissipation fan. For example, the first heat dissipation fan may be located in only one of the two heat dissipation chambers, and the two heat dissipation chambers may be connected to each other via a connecting structure such as a connecting hole.

[0135] Obviously, the combination of the front and rear cover plates and the bellows body is only an exemplary form of the heat dissipation bellows. For example, the front cover plate can be replaced by the rear wall of the inner liner, or the two (the front cover plate and the rear wall of the inner liner) can be integrally formed, that is, the heat dissipation bellows and the rear wall of the inner liner form a heat dissipation chamber. In addition, those skilled in the art can determine the structural form, coverage area, and connection method between the front and rear cover plates and the bellows body according to actual needs.

[0136] In one possible embodiment, the heat dissipation bellows is provided with a first heat dissipation inlet 5216 at a location communicating with the first heat dissipation chamber, and a second heat dissipation inlet 5217 and a heat dissipation outlet 5218 at a location communicating with the second heat dissipation chamber. The first outlet side of the first heat dissipation duct can be connected to the first heat dissipation inlet, and the second heat dissipation inlet can be directly connected to the back space of the cooking body of the integrated cooking device. In this example, the first heat dissipation inlet and heat dissipation outlet are provided at the top of the heat dissipation bellows, and the second heat dissipation inlet is provided on the back side of the heat dissipation bellows.

[0137] In order to enable the gas to be better discharged through its heat dissipation outlet 5218, the heat dissipation bellows is provided with a heat dissipation outlet guide structure 5219 at a position corresponding to the heat dissipation outlet. The heat dissipation outlet guide structure can be a slope, an arc surface and related combination structures, such as a combination of slopes and slopes, a combination of arc surfaces and arc surfaces, a combination of slopes and arc surfaces, etc.

[0138] In this way, along with the high-speed operation of the centrifugal fan, two negative pressure zones will be formed at the positions corresponding to the first heat dissipation chamber and the second heat dissipation chamber (referred to as the first negative pressure zone / front negative pressure zone corresponding to the first heat dissipation chamber and the second negative pressure zone / rear negative pressure zone corresponding to the second heat dissipation chamber respectively).

[0139] In the first negative pressure zone, air entering the first heat dissipation duct through the first air inlet side of the first heat dissipation duct, under the guidance of the first heat dissipation fan, enters the first heat dissipation chamber through the first heat dissipation air inlet and is discharged through the heat dissipation air outlet. For example, the first heat dissipation air inlet and the first air outlet side of the first heat dissipation duct can be connected directly (e.g., by sleeve connection), indirectly connected through an intermediate pipe section, or aligned (e.g., without a connection).

[0140] The air in the back space of the cooking body heats up after cooling the components therein. In the second negative pressure zone, under the guidance of the first cooling fan, the heated air enters the second heat dissipation chamber through the second heat dissipation inlet and is then discharged through the heat dissipation outlet.

[0141] As can be seen, the combination of the cooling fan assembly (the first cooling air inlet) and the first cooling air duct can dissipate heat from the components in the top area of the integrated cooking device. Providing a second cooling air inlet for the cooling fan assembly can dissipate heat from the components in the back area of the integrated cooking device.

[0142] Obviously, the structural form, number, setting position and corresponding connection method of the first / second heat dissipation air inlet and heat dissipation air outlet are only an exemplary description, and those skilled in the art can flexibly adjust them according to actual needs. For example, the heat dissipation air outlet can be directly connected to the first / second heat dissipation chamber (in this example, the first heat dissipation air inlet is connected to the first heat dissipation chamber, the first heat dissipation chamber is connected to the second heat dissipation chamber, and the second heat dissipation chamber is connected to the heat dissipation air outlet), etc. The implementation method of the heat dissipation air outlet being directly connected to the first / second heat dissipation chamber may include but is not limited to the heat dissipation air outlet including two, the air inlet side of the heat dissipation air outlet being connected to the first / second heat dissipation chamber respectively, the heat dissipation air outlet including two branch pipes on the upstream side that are respectively connected to the first / second heat dissipation chamber and a main pipe on the downstream side that is respectively connected to the two branch pipes, etc.

[0143] In a possible embodiment, the first heat dissipation duct 51 covers the cooking units corresponding to the steaming function and the baking function at the same time along the width direction of the device, so that the heat dissipation function of the device can be more fully realized. For example, the first heat dissipation duct may include one or more first heat dissipation ducts. In the case where the first heat dissipation duct includes multiple first heat dissipation ducts, the structural form of the multiple first heat dissipation ducts and their layout on the top can be flexibly adjusted. Exemplarily, a plurality of heat dissipation sub-ducts extend from the first air outlet side of the first heat dissipation duct, and the first air inlet side of each heat dissipation sub-duct is connected to different areas, such as a certain heat-generating component, the side of the cooking body, another first heat dissipation duct, a non-heat-generating area (that is, natural wind can be drawn into the first heat dissipation duct), etc.

[0144] In one possible embodiment, the first air inlet side 511 of the first cooling duct is located on the front side of the cooking unit, such as the front door frame of the cooking unit, while the first air outlet side 512 interfaces with the cooling air inlet of the first cooling duct assembly on the rear side. This allows the first cooling duct to span the width of the cooking unit across the two cooking units. The diagonally arranged cooling paths at the right front and left rear further extend the length of the first cooling duct, thereby potentially providing more efficient heat dissipation for the relevant components.

[0145] It should be noted that the diagonal arrangement mentioned here should be understood as after the arrangement direction in the front-to-back direction is roughly determined, the first air inlet side and the first air outlet side are staggered to a certain extent in the left-to-right direction, thereby appropriately lengthening the length of the first heat dissipation duct.

[0146] In one possible embodiment, the first air inlet side of the first heat dissipation duct is located in a heat dissipation area (e.g., a heat dissipation port) of the second door assembly 152 corresponding to the grilling cooking unit, such as being at least partially aligned with or near the heat dissipation port of the second door assembly. In this way, the heat dissipation fan assembly can dissipate heat from the heat-generating components in the top area while also sharing at least a portion of the heat dissipation directed to the second door assembly.

[0147] It should be noted that the alignment of the heat dissipation area of the second door assembly to at least a certain extent mentioned here should mainly be understood as alignment in terms of orientation. Since the first and second door assemblies for the steaming / baking function cooking unit are arranged adjacent to each other, the heat dissipation fan assembly can not only dissipate heat for the second door assembly, but also take on a part of the heat dissipation for the first door assembly. Preferably, in order to better dissipate the mechanical energy of the first door assembly, the first heat dissipation duct can be widened at a position close to the first air outlet side so that it is aligned to at least a certain extent with the heat dissipation area of the first and second door assemblies, or a connecting hole can be added to the first heat dissipation duct at a position close to the first air outlet side or a connecting section can be extended to introduce heat from the first door assembly 151.

[0148] In addition, under the guidance of a cross-flow fan set on the top of the cooking body, the air carrying heat is usually discharged forward from the door gap of the door assembly. The front row of heat dissipation will cause the heat to blow directly to the user (as in this example, roughly the position of the user's legs), thereby reducing the user experience.

[0149] In one possible embodiment, the integrated cooking device includes an exhaust structure that is arranged at an angle to the horizontal direction and can discharge the air carrying heat in an upward direction. For example, the air carrying heat can be discharged upward at a large angle (such as ≥60°) to the horizontal direction. Exemplarily, it is discharged in a roughly vertical direction. The heat dissipation exhaust structure can be a separately added structure or a structure that is completed in collaboration based on the components of the integrated cooking device. For example, the heat dissipation exhaust structure can be a heat dissipation exhaust port, an upwardly extending heat dissipation exhaust duct connected to the heat dissipation outlet, a structure connected to the stove unit above, etc. Taking the exhaust duct as an example, the downstream side of the exhaust duct can be connected to the indoor space, directly connected to the outdoor environment, connected to the outdoor environment through a duct that can be connected to the outdoor environment (such as the duct of the range hood), etc.

[0150] For example, in this example, the integrated cooking device is provided with a stove unit 200 above the steam-bake combination machine. For example, the heat dissipation outlet 5212 can be provided above the heat dissipation bellows, and the heat dissipation outlet is connected to the stovetop portion of the stove unit, thereby switching the heat output from the front row to the upper row. For example, a range hood is usually provided above the stove unit (such as the top or side), and the exhaust air carrying heat can be promptly extracted by the range hood, thereby avoiding the resulting increase in the temperature of the indoor space. For example, the heat dissipation outlet can be connected to the stovetop portion of the stove unit by configuring a pipe, adding a connecting hole or other connecting structure on the stovetop portion, or directly aligning the heat dissipation outlet with at least a portion of the exhaust position (stove opening) on the stovetop portion of the stove unit.

[0151] In a possible embodiment, the cooking body is provided with an air outlet communication structure for exhaust and pressure relief corresponding to the steaming function cooking unit and the baking function cooking unit (respectively referred to as a first air outlet communication structure and a second air outlet communication structure, the first air outlet communication structure and the second air outlet communication structure are respectively connected to the heat dissipation bellows, so that under the action of the first heat dissipation fan, the depressurized gas is discharged through the aforementioned heat dissipation outlet. For example, the air outlet communication structure may include one or more communication holes.

[0152] In this example, the first air outlet connecting structure and the second air outlet connecting structure include a connecting hole with a certain radial size (it can be understood that the radial size of the connecting hole is larger than the radial size of each single hole in the porous structure (mesh)). For example, the first air outlet connecting structure and the second air outlet connecting structure are respectively provided at the position corresponding to the back of the first / second cooking cavity of the cooking body, and two air intake connecting structures are provided at the corresponding position of the heat dissipation bellows (close to the wall of the first / second cooking cavity) (such as the first air intake connecting structure 52111 and the first air intake connecting structure 52112 respectively). In this way, when the heat dissipation bellows is in working state, the gas discharged from the first / second cooking cavity through the first / second air outlet connecting structure can be discharged upward together through the heat dissipation outlet. For example, the first / second air intake connecting structure can be connected with the aforementioned first heat dissipation cavity and / or second heat dissipation cavity (such as in this example, the first / second air intake connecting structure is connected with the position of the second heat dissipation cavity near the heat dissipation outlet). Similarly, the gas exhausted upward can be promptly extracted by the range hood on the top / side of the stove. However, unlike the air from the first heat dissipation duct mentioned above, the air from the first heat dissipation duct mainly needs to be discharged by re-planning the path because it carries heat, while the gas (cooking medium) from the first / second cooking chamber is exhausted and pressure relieved to ensure the cooking quality in the first / second cooking chamber. Since this part of the gas is a cooking medium, especially for the gas from the cooking chamber, it often contains oil stains and other costs, so discharging it in a timely manner can ensure the cleanliness of the indoor space. Of course, the cooking medium from the two cooking chambers also carries heat, so this treatment method can also prevent the indoor space from heating up.

[0153] Obviously, setting a pair of air outlet connecting structures close to the back of the cooking body is only a better implementation method. For example, only one air outlet connecting structure can be set on the back of the cooking body and the other can still be set on the top (connected to the first heat dissipation duct), both air outlet connecting structures can be set on the top, and the two air outlet connecting structures can be set non-closely (such as one connected to the back of the heat dissipation bellows, and the other connected to the side / top / bottom of the heat dissipation bellows, etc.).

[0154] Compared with the current method of setting a pressure relief port on the top of the inner pot, by setting two air outlet connecting structures close to each other and connecting them with the heat dissipation fan components respectively, the integration of the equipment is improved while ensuring cooking reliability.

[0155] In addition, for the first cooking chamber and the second cooking chamber during steam intervention, since some steam condenses during the exhaust process, a drainage structure (such as a drain port, drain pipe, etc.) 52113 is provided on the heat dissipation bellows, such as a drainage structure provided near the bottom of the heat dissipation bellows. Condensed water can be discharged through this drainage structure. In this example, the drainage structure has a drain port for connecting the pipe. Through the cooperation of the drainage connection structure such as a rubber hose and the connecting pipe, the condensed water can be drained to the aforementioned water collection box and further discharged to a waste water box or other structure / device capable of collecting condensed water, thereby ensuring the cleanliness of the equipment.

[0156] As in this example, the bellows body includes a vertically arranged partition, and the outer edge of the partition extends toward the first heat dissipation chamber and the second heat dissipation chamber with a first flange and a second flange respectively. The first flange, the partition and the front cover form the first heat dissipation chamber, and the second flange, the partition and the rear cover form the second heat dissipation chamber. The drainage structure is arranged in the second heat dissipation chamber corresponding to the heat dissipation outlet, such as a drainage structure is arranged at the bottom of the second flange, such as the drainage structure is a drainage outlet with a connecting pipe section extending below (outside the bottom of the bellows body). In order to ensure that the condensed water can be better gathered, the bottom wall of the heat dissipation bellows can be lower than other positions corresponding to the height of the drainage structure. For example, the bottom wall of the heat dissipation bellows is set to a structure that gathers toward the drainage structure (such as a curved structure, an inclined structure, etc.).

[0157] Since gas condensation is more likely to occur near the heat dissipation outlet, the drainage structure is set in the second heat dissipation chamber that is directly connected to the heat dissipation outlet. Therefore, the setting position of the drainage outlet can be flexibly adjusted according to the adjustment method of the heat dissipation outlet. Of course, the drainage structure can also be set in the first heat dissipation chamber.

[0158] Obviously, the combination of the above-mentioned partition and the two flanges is only an exemplary structural form of the bellows body. Those skilled in the art can flexibly adjust it according to actual needs. For example, the two parts of the bellows body are connected to each other after the two parts respectively form the first / second heat dissipation chamber with the front / rear cover body.

[0159] In one possible embodiment, a drainage structure may be provided on the heat dissipation bellows. For example, condensed water generated within the heat dissipation bellows can flow through the drainage structure to a location corresponding to the aforementioned drainage structure and / or back to the first / second cooking chamber. For example, the drainage structure may include a guide plate, a guide groove, a trumpet-shaped guide pipe, etc. Drainage structures may be provided separately for the first and second cooking chambers, or one or more drainage structures may be provided in a non-targeted manner, focusing solely on the angle at which condensed water is generated within the heat dissipation bellows. Exemplarily, the drainage structure is a downwardly inclined flat / curved guide plate disposed along the width of the heat dissipation bellows, allowing condensed water to flow through the guide plate to the drainage structure at the bottom.

[0160] In this example, the drainage structure includes a first drainage structure 52114 corresponding to the first cooking cavity and a second drainage structure 52115 corresponding to the second cooking cavity. For example, the first and second drainage structures are guide grooves and have substantially identical structures. Furthermore, in this example, the first and second drainage structures are located at positions corresponding to the aforementioned first and second air inlet communication structures. This allows condensed water generated within the heat dissipation bellows to flow back into the first and second cooking cavities via the first and second drainage structures, the first and second air inlet communication structures, and the first and second air outlet communication structures. This can be a full or partial return (e.g., a portion flowing back to the first and second cooking cavities and a portion directed to the drainage structure).

[0161] In one possible embodiment, the first / second air outlet connecting structure and the first / second air inlet connecting structure are arranged at a position near the top of the back of the heat dissipation air box. In this way, taking full reflux as an example, in the process of realizing condensed water collection, the first level of condensed water recovery can be performed through the first / second drainage structure, that is, the first condensed water recovery structure returns the recovered condensed water to the first / second cooking chamber. The second level of condensed water recovery can be performed through the drainage structure, that is, the second condensed water recovery structure discharges the recovered condensed water to a condensed water collection structure such as a waste water box (for example, in the case of partial reflux, the second condensed water recovery structure can serve as a supplement to the first condensed water recovery structure, and can supplement and recover part of the condensed water collected by the first / second drainage structure but not returned to the first / second cooking chamber). In order to realize full reflux, the guide groove can be set to be inclined toward the cooking chamber.

[0162] Obviously, the first and second air guide structures are substantially identical, and their alignment and communication with the first and second air inlet communication structures is merely an exemplary description. Those skilled in the art may flexibly select the structural form of the first and second air guide structures and the method for achieving reverse flow based on actual needs. For example, the structural form of the first and second air guide structures and the method for achieving reverse flow may also differ. For example, the first and second air guide structures are inclined guide plates, the lowest point of which communicates with the first or second cooking chamber via a communication structure such as a communication hole or a communication tube.

[0163] In this example, a heat dissipation bellows is disposed at the back of the cooking unit. The bellows is generally a volute-shaped structure. Viewed along the width of the back of the cooking unit, the bellows comprises a first bellows portion and a second bellows portion. The first bellows portion is provided with a first heat dissipation inlet at the top, a second heat dissipation inlet at the back, and a heat dissipation outlet at the top of the second bellows portion. A first heat dissipation fan is disposed in the first bellows portion, while the second bellows portion is located approximately near the middle of the cooking unit. The first air intake / intake connecting structure is disposed near the first and second cooking chambers, respectively. This allows for a more compact heat dissipation fan assembly. Clearly, those skilled in the art can flexibly adjust the structure of the heat dissipation bellows, the structures of the first and second bellows portions, and the locations of the first and second heat dissipation inlets and outlets to suit specific needs. For example, the heat dissipation outlet can be widened or extended to create a new heat dissipation outlet path, or the second air intake connecting structure can be located near the middle of the second cooking chamber.

[0164] In one possible embodiment, the integrated cooking device includes a second heat dissipation portion 8 disposed on a cooker unit 200. For example, the cooker unit 200 primarily includes a cooker housing 6 having two cooker mounting positions, each of which is provided with two cookers 7. The second heat dissipation portion 8 is disposed within the cooker housing. Obviously, those skilled in the art can determine the structure and number of the cooker mounting positions, as well as the distribution of the respective cooker mounting positions (if multiple cookers are provided) on the cooktop based on actual needs.

[0165] In one possible embodiment, the second heat dissipation portion 8 primarily includes a second heat dissipation duct 81 and a second heat dissipation fan 82. For example, the second heat dissipation fan 82 has a second air inlet side and a second air outlet side. If the second heat dissipation fan is a cross-flow fan, the cross-flow fan's air inlet communicates with the environment within the range housing, the cross-flow fan's air outlet communicates with the second air inlet side of the second heat dissipation duct, and the second air outlet side of the second heat dissipation duct communicates with the external environment. In this way, the cross-flow fan can promptly cool heat-generating components such as electronic components within the range housing.

[0166] In one possible embodiment, the air inlet of the crossflow fan is located on the side of the cooktop closest to the operator (e.g., the front side), the air outlet of the crossflow fan is located on the side of the cooktop away from the operator (e.g., the rear side), and the second air outlet side of the second heat dissipation duct is located on the side of the cooktop away from the operator. It will be appreciated that, similar to the aforementioned first heat dissipation portion, those skilled in the art can determine how the air outlet side of the second heat dissipation duct communicates with the external environment based on actual needs, such as by leveraging the existing structure of the cooktop or by adding structures / components such as communication ports or ducts.

[0167] In one possible embodiment, the second outlet side of the second heat dissipation duct and the heat dissipation outlet of the heat dissipation fan assembly are both located near the rear of the stove assembly, and both need to exhaust gas to the external environment. Therefore, in this example, a common exhaust structure is provided on the stove unit.

[0168] On the one hand, those skilled in the art can determine the structural form of the exhaust structure based on actual needs, such as an exhaust duct, exhaust port, exhaust hood, etc. On the other hand, it is obvious that the exhaust structure does not have to be located near the rear side of the stove unit. In other words, as long as exhaust is feasible, those skilled in the art can also adjust the exhaust position of the exhaust structure.

[0169] Furthermore, sharing a common exhaust structure for both is merely a preferred embodiment. Those skilled in the art can configure two independent exhaust structures based on actual needs, and the exhaust locations of the two exhaust structures can be the same or different. Examples include, but are not limited to: an exhaust structure comprising a main pipe and two branch pipes extending from the main pipe, the two branch pipes respectively connected to the exhaust locations of the first and second cooling air ducts; and an exhaust structure comprising two closely spaced exhaust pipes, both of which communicate directly with the external environment or communicate with the external environment through a common exhaust port.

[0170] In one possible embodiment, an exhaust area 61 is provided on the cooktop (the upper surface of the cooktop) of the cooktop housing 6 as a common exhaust structure. For example, the exhaust area may include an open structure, exhaust holes, or an exhaust mesh. For example, a range hood disposed on the side or above the cooktop can promptly extract the gas delivered to the exhaust area 61. Thus, in this embodiment, three types of heat-carrying gases can be discharged through the exhaust area 61: heat-carrying gas from the first heat dissipation duct (primarily used to cool the door assembly and top heat-generating components of the steam-bake combination unit), cooking medium from the first / second cooking chamber (primarily used to relieve pressure and exhaust to ensure cooking reliability of the steam-bake combination unit), and heat-carrying gas from the second heat dissipation duct (primarily used to cool the heat-generating components inside the cooktop unit).

[0171] In a possible embodiment, in order to ensure that the exhaust area 61 of the stove surface can be better connected with the heat dissipation outlet of the heat dissipation fan assembly, and at the same time to prevent the heat-carrying gas from entering the environment inside the stove shell, an exhaust connection structure 62 can be provided between the first exhaust port and the exhaust area. The exhaust connection structure 62 can be a corrugated pipe, a rigid pipe, a baffle, etc.

[0172] As can be seen, in a preferred embodiment of the present application, by placing the heat dissipation fan assembly on the back of the cooking unit and employing a vertical centrifugal fan, space at the top of the inner pot is effectively freed up. This not only increases the inner pot's volume in the vertical direction, but also reduces the device's height, as evidenced by a reduction in the height of the top of the front door frame of the cooking unit. By configuring the heat dissipation bellows with dual heat dissipation chambers / air inlets, the integrated cooking device can be effectively cooled through dual air inlets from a single location. By locating the evaporator, heat dissipation fan assembly, and electronic control panel on the side (back) of the cooking unit, close to the first cooking cavity corresponding to the steaming function, the corresponding installation structure can be kept at a relatively low temperature. By integrating heat dissipation and exhaust pressure relief structures for both cooking cavities into the heat dissipation bellows, the cooking medium, which is used to ensure cooking reliability, can be discharged along with the heat dissipation air. In other words, the first heat dissipation fan, located on the back of the cooking unit, not only dissipates heat for the door assembly and related structures on the top / side, but also provides a path for the pressure relief air, thereby ensuring cooking reliability. By converging the exhaust point (heat dissipation outlet) of the first heat dissipation section with the exhaust point (second exhaust side) of the second heat dissipation section and connecting them to the exhaust area on the cooktop assembly, heat dissipation gases from the steam-bake combination and cooktop assembly, as well as cooking medium released from the steam-bake combination, can be centrally discharged, improving the device's integration. Simultaneously, the exhaust area corresponding to the first heat dissipation duct can be switched from front exhaust to top exhaust, preventing heat from being directly sprayed onto the user's body (e.g., roughly the user's legs), thereby improving the user experience.

[0173] Thus far, the technical solutions of the present application have been described in conjunction with the preferred embodiments shown in the accompanying drawings. However, it is readily understood by those skilled in the art that the scope of protection of the present application is obviously not limited to these specific embodiments. Without departing from the principles of the present application, those skilled in the art may make equivalent changes or substitutions to the relevant technical features, and the technical solutions after such changes or substitutions will fall within the scope of protection of the present application.
