[0035] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2 The oven door assembly 100 for a cooking appliance 1000 according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a first portion 10 and a second portion 20. The second portion 20 is disposed opposite the first portion 10. A recessed portion 101 is defined between the first portion 10 and the second portion 20. The recessed portion 101 is recessed into the oven door assembly 100 from an edge 102 thereof.

[0036] In the oven door assembly 100 of the embodiment of the present invention, the door opening function is achieved by providing a recessed portion 101 between the first portion 10 and the second portion 20, eliminating additional components such as handles or buttons, thereby reducing the manufacturing cost of the oven door assembly 100.

[0037] Specifically, the cooking appliance 1000 may be a microwave oven, an oven, or other appliances for cooking.

[0038] The oven door assembly 100 can be made of materials such as metal, glass, or heat-resistant plastic. For example, the oven door assembly 100 can be made of tempered glass. The first portion 10 and the second portion 20 are the two main structural components of the oven door assembly 100. The first portion 10 and the second portion 20 can be manufactured using an integrated molding process. This integrated molding process makes the overall structure of the first portion 10 and the second portion 20 more robust because there are no seams or connection points, thereby reducing potential weaknesses. The first portion 10 and the second portion 20 can also be manufactured using a split molding process. This split molding process can use less material or simpler molds, thereby reducing the overall manufacturing cost of the first portion 10 and the second portion 20.

[0039] The edge refers to the outer boundary of the oven door assembly 100 and is the portion of the oven door assembly 100 that contacts the external environment. The edge can be the edge of the first portion 10 or the edge of the second portion 20. The edge can be the top edge of the oven door assembly 100, the bottom edge of the oven door assembly 100, or the edge of any other portion of the oven door assembly 100.

[0040] The number of recessed portions 101 can be one or more. Multiple recessed portions 101 can provide multiple operating elements, thereby improving the usability of the oven door assembly 100. For example, there are two recessed portions 101, and the two recessed portions 101 are spaced apart on the oven door assembly 100, thereby providing two operating points for easy operation. The recessed portion 101 can be formed by an injection molding process or a stamping process. The manufacturing process of the recessed portion 101 can be selected based on the material of the oven door assembly 100. For example, when the oven door assembly 100 is made of metal, the recessed portion 101 can be a groove formed by a stamping process.

[0041] The size and shape of the recessed portion 101 can be configured based on ergonomics. In one embodiment, the length of the recessed portion 101 is 118.5 mm, the depth of the recessed portion 101 is 19.8 mm, and the width of the recessed portion 101 is 15.5 mm, which provides a better grip. It should be noted that the numerical values ​​here are merely examples and should not be construed as limiting the embodiments of the present invention.

[0042] In one embodiment, the recessed portion 101 may include a first surface and a second surface connected at an angle. The angle between the first surface and the second surface may be a right angle or an obtuse angle. For example, a 103° angle between the first surface and the second surface can provide a better grip. It should be noted that the numerical values ​​herein are merely examples and should not be construed as limiting the embodiments of the present invention.

[0043] See also Figure 2 and Figure 3 In some embodiments, the first portion 10 and the second portion 20 are staggered along the width direction W of the oven door assembly 100. Along the width direction W of the oven door assembly 100, the width D1 of the first portion 10 is smaller than the width D2 of the second portion 20, and the recessed portion 101 is recessed into the oven door assembly 100 from the edge of the first portion 10.

[0044] Thus, by making the width D1 of the first portion 10 smaller than the width D2 of the second portion 20 and staggering them along the width direction W of the oven door assembly 100, the recessed portion 101 can be made easier for the user to identify and operate. The smaller first portion 10 can provide an area that is easier to grasp and operate. Especially when the oven door assembly 100 is larger overall, the user can more conveniently operate the oven door assembly 100 through the recessed portion 101 on the first portion 10.

[0045] Specifically, staggered means that the first portion 10 and the second portion 20 are not completely aligned in the width direction W of the oven door assembly 100, but are offset to a certain extent. The width D1 of the first portion 10 refers to the minimum distance between the ends of the first portion 10 along the width direction W of the oven door assembly 100. The width D2 of the second portion 20 refers to the minimum distance between the ends of the second portion 20 along the width direction W of the oven door assembly 100. The edge of the first portion 10 can be one of the edges of the oven door assembly 100.

[0046] See also Figure 3 In some embodiments, the recessed portion 101 is connected to the first portion 10 in an arc shape.

[0047] In this way, the arc connection helps to reduce sharp corners and edges, which not only eliminates deformation and fracture caused by internal stress, improves product safety, but also provides a comfortable grip.

[0048] Specifically, for a furnace door assembly 100 made of metal, the edges of the first portion 10 can be rounded to provide an arc-shaped connection between the recessed portion 101 and the first portion 10. For a furnace door assembly 100 made of plastic, injection molding can be used. By selecting a mold, the arc-shaped connection between the recessed portion 101 and the first portion 10 can be directly obtained after molding. The fillet radius can be 4 mm, which provides a better grip.

[0049] See also Figure 2In some embodiments, the oven door assembly 100 is further provided with a first notch 103 extending along the length direction L of the oven door assembly 100 , the length direction L of the oven door assembly 100 intersects with the width direction W of the oven door assembly 100 , the first notch 103 is located on one side of the second portion 20 , and the first notch 103 is connected to the recessed portion 101 .

[0050] In this way, the provision of the first notch 103 not only helps to reduce the weight of the oven door assembly 100 , thereby reducing the use of materials and thus lowering manufacturing costs, but also can match the structure of the recessed portion 101 and maintain the overall aesthetics of the oven door assembly 100 .

[0051] Specifically, for a furnace door assembly 100 made of metal, a stamping process can be performed on the edge 102 of the furnace door assembly 100 to form a first notch 103 extending along the length direction L of the furnace door assembly 100. The first notch 103 can penetrate the furnace door assembly 100 along the length direction L, which facilitates manufacturing. For a furnace door assembly 100 made of plastic, an injection molding process can be used. By selecting a mold, the first notch 103 extending along the length direction L of the furnace door assembly 100 can be directly obtained after molding.

[0052] See also Figure 1 and Figure 4 A cooking appliance 1000 according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a housing 200 and an oven door assembly 100 according to any of the above embodiments. The housing 200 is provided with an opening 210. The oven door assembly 100 is rotatably connected to the housing 200 and is driven to rotate relative to the housing 200 to open or close the opening 210.

[0053] In the cooking appliance 1000 of the embodiment of the present invention, since the oven door assembly 100 realizes the door opening function by providing a recessed portion 101, additional components such as handles or buttons are eliminated, thereby reducing the manufacturing cost of the oven door assembly 100, and thus the manufacturing cost of the cooking appliance 1000 is reduced.

[0054] Specifically, the housing 200 is the main body of the cooking appliance 1000, separating the interior of the cooking appliance 1000 from the exterior. The housing 200 may include a cooking chamber. Food to be cooked may be placed in the chamber. The opening 210 is a structure on the housing 200 for removing food from the chamber or inserting food into the chamber. The shape of the opening 210 may be regular, such as circular or rectangular, or irregular.

[0055] The rotational connection between the oven door assembly 100 and the housing 200 can be achieved via hinges, bearings, or other mechanical devices. For example, the oven door assembly 100 includes a rotating shaft. The housing 200 includes a sleeve corresponding to the rotating shaft. The sleeve is mounted on the rotating shaft. During use, the user manually drives the oven door assembly 100 to rotate the sleeve relative to the rotating shaft, thereby opening or closing the opening 210.

[0056] See also Figure 4 and Figure 5 In some embodiments, the cooking appliance 1000 further includes a control component 300 , which is located on one side of the oven door component 100 and is connected to the cabinet 200 .

[0057] In this way, the control assembly 300 is located on one side of the oven door assembly 100 , so that the user can conveniently operate the control assembly 300 when opening or closing the opening 210 , thereby improving the usability of the cooking appliance 1000 .

[0058] Specifically, the control assembly 300 is a component used to operate and control the functions of the cooking appliance 1000. The control assembly 300 may include buttons, knobs, and a touch screen. The control assembly 300 allows the user to input commands, such as selecting a cooking mode, setting a timer, adjusting a temperature, and so on, thereby controlling the cooking process. The control assembly 300 may be mechanical, such as buttons and knobs, or electronic, such as a touch screen or liquid crystal display.

[0059] The control assembly 300 can be positioned side by side with the oven door assembly 100. For example, along the length direction L of the oven door assembly 100, the control assembly 300 can be positioned on the right side of the oven door assembly 100. For another example, along the width direction W of the oven door assembly 100, the control assembly 300 can be positioned above the oven door assembly 100. A gap can be created between the control assembly 300 and the oven door assembly 100 to reduce the likelihood of interference between the control assembly 300 and the oven door assembly 100, thereby improving the smoothness of opening or closing the opening 210.

[0060] The connection between the control assembly 300 and the box body 200 can be a detachable connection such as a bolt connection, a snap connection, or a non-detachable connection such as an adhesive connection.

[0061] See also Figure 4 and Figure 5In some embodiments, the oven door assembly 100 is further provided with a first notch 103 extending along the length direction L of the oven door assembly 100, the length direction L of the oven door assembly 100 intersects with the width direction W of the oven door assembly 100, the first notch 103 is located on one side of the first part 10, the first notch 103 is connected to the recessed portion 101, and the control assembly 300 is provided with a second notch 310 extending along the width direction H of the control assembly 300, the second notch 310 is connected to both the first notch 103 and the recessed portion 101.

[0062] In this way, the setting of the second notch 310 not only helps to reduce the weight of the control component 300, thereby reducing the use of materials and thus reducing manufacturing costs, but also can match the structure of the first notch 103 and the recessed portion 101, maintaining the overall aesthetics of the cooking appliance 1000.

[0063] Specifically, the second notch 310 can be aligned with the first notch 103, or the extension direction of the second notch 310 can be the same as the extension direction of the first notch 103. When the opening 210 is closed, the width direction H of the control assembly 300 is parallel to the length direction L of the oven door assembly 100.

[0064] For a control assembly 300 made of metal, a stamping process can be performed on the edge of the control assembly 300 to form a second notch 310 extending along the width direction H of the control assembly 300. The second notch 310 can penetrate the control assembly 300 along the width direction H, which facilitates manufacturing. For a control assembly 300 made of plastic, an injection molding process can be used. By selecting a mold, the second notch 310 extending along the width direction H of the control assembly 300 can be directly obtained after molding.

[0065] See also Figure 4 In some embodiments, the oven door assembly 100 and the box body 200 form a connection 30 , and along the length direction L of the oven door assembly 100 , the recessed portion 101 is provided on one end of the oven door assembly 100 away from the connection 30 .

[0066] Thus, when the oven door assembly 100 is pivotally connected to the housing 200, the torque required to open the opening 210 is related to the distance (lever arm) between the point of force application and the axis of rotation. According to the torque formula, the recess 101 is located at the end of the oven door assembly 100 away from the connection 30, which results in a longer lever arm. This generates greater torque with the same applied force, thereby saving effort in opening the opening 210.

[0067] Specifically, the connection 30 refers to a region where the oven door assembly 100 and the box body 200 are rotatably connected via a hinge, a bearing or other mechanical devices.

[0068] In some embodiments, the recessed portion 101 penetrates the oven door assembly 100 along the length direction L of the oven door assembly 100 , or in other words, the dimension of the recessed portion 101 along the length direction L of the oven door assembly 100 is equal to the length of the oven door assembly 100 .

[0069] In this way, the recessed portion 101 runs through the length direction L of the oven door assembly 100, providing the user with more operating points, allowing the user to conveniently open the opening 210 from different positions, thereby improving the flexibility of use, which makes the process of opening the opening 210 faster and more efficient.

[0070] See also Figure 1 and Figure 4 In some embodiments, the oven door assembly 100 includes a mounting portion 40 and a light-transmitting portion 50 . The mounting portion 40 is rotatably connected to the box body 200 , and the light-transmitting portion 50 is embedded in the mounting portion 40 .

[0071] Thus, the light-transmitting portion 50 allows the user to observe the interior of the cooking appliance 1000 even when the opening 210 is closed, thereby enabling the user to observe the cooking process and thus improving the user experience. By embedding the light-transmitting portion 50 in the mounting portion 40, the light-transmitting portion 50 can be stably fixed to the mounting portion 40, thereby ensuring that the light-transmitting portion 50 remains stable when the oven door is opened and closed.

[0072] Specifically, the mounting portion 40 may be a hollow structure and may have an embedding groove matching the outer contour of the light-transmitting portion 50 so that the light-transmitting portion 50 can be embedded in the mounting portion 40 .

[0073] The light-transmitting portion 50 allows light to pass through and can be made of glass, transparent ceramics or other transparent materials.
