Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to a vehicle-mounted kitchen appliance, in particular to a modular dining kitchen device. Background Art

[0002] In scenarios such as long-distance driving, outdoor adventures, and camping trips, the demand for in-car cooking and dining is becoming increasingly prominent. This is often accompanied by long periods of movement and a changeable and unstable dining environment, making it difficult for traditional cooking and dining models to effectively meet the cooking and dining needs in the car that emphasize convenience, safety, and comfort.

[0003] Based on existing technologies, in order to maximize space utilization efficiency and optimize the overall experience of cooking and dining in the car, the industry has conducted a lot of research and development and exploration of integrated kitchen and dining technologies for vehicles with limited space, such as RVs and heavy trucks. These explorations cover the establishment of an independent and fully functional kitchen area inside the vehicle, equipped with spacious dining space, and equipped with kitchen auxiliary equipment and supplies, etc., aiming to create an efficient, convenient and adaptable in-vehicle cooking and dining environment.

[0004] However, existing technologies still have some flaws and shortcomings. Functionally, they lack targeted consideration and design for outdoor scenarios, failing to fully account for the unique characteristics of in-vehicle cooking and dining environments. This results in limited functionality in complex and ever-changing scenarios, making it difficult to meet the diverse needs of users. Specifically, the stove, kitchenware, and tableware lack adaptive design optimization, failing to perfectly fit within the vehicle's space, resulting in low space utilization. This is manifested in the mismatch between the stove's size and the reserved space in the vehicle, the kitchenware being placed disorganized, and the inconvenient storage of tableware. Furthermore, the rationality of the operating process is often overlooked. For example, steps such as igniting the stove, adjusting the heat, and using the kitchenware fail to flow smoothly, increasing user difficulty and time costs. In terms of comfort, human-machine comfort is insufficient, lacking ergonomic considerations. The design of some devices fails to fully consider ergonomic principles, such as operating height, angle, and force. This leads to user fatigue and discomfort during prolonged use, reducing overall user satisfaction and willingness to use. Summary of the Invention
