[0030] The following embodiments of the present invention are described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples. The following examples are used to illustrate the present invention, but are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention.
[0031] The various specific technical features and embodiments described in the specific embodiments can be combined in any appropriate manner, unless there is any contradiction. For example, different specific technical features / embodiments can be combined to form different embodiments. To avoid unnecessary repetition, the various possible combinations of the specific technical features / embodiments in this application will not be described separately. In addition, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be understood to indicate or imply relative importance. The application will be further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.
[0032] In related art, a food container includes a door seal and a cavity connected to each other, which can be used to place and cook food. For example, when using a food container for steaming or baking, a large amount of water vapor is generated in the cavity. This water vapor cools and forms condensed water. This condensed water seeps out of the container and drips onto the water receiving member. The condensed water easily overflows from the side of the water receiving member facing the cavity and drips onto the storage surface or the structure at the bottom of the container.
[0033] See also Figures 1 to 5, an embodiment of the present application provides a cooking utensil 100, comprising a first box body 10 and a water receiving member 20, the first box body 10 comprising a first door sealing plate 11 and a first cavity 12 connected to each other, the bottom edge of the first door sealing plate 11 being formed with a first flange 111, the first flange 111 being located on a side of the first door sealing plate 11 close to the first cavity 12; the water receiving member 20 comprising a water collecting portion 21, a water receiving portion 22 and a water retaining portion 23, the first flange 111 being superimposed on the water receiving portion 22, the water retaining portion 23 being arranged around at least a portion of the water receiving portion 22 facing a side of the first flange 111, the water collecting portion 21 being connected to a side of the water receiving portion 22 away from the water retaining portion 23.
[0034] The first cavity 12 can be used to store and cook food. The first door seal 11 can be used to shield the entrance and exit of the first cavity 12, forming a closed space within the first cavity 12 and improving cooking efficiency. The first flange 111 can increase the contact area between the first door seal 11 and the water receiving member 20, thereby enhancing the connection stability between the first housing 10 and the water receiving member 20.
[0035] For example, see Figure 1 The first door sealing plate 11 is formed with a first opening 11a, which is connected to the inlet and outlet of the first cavity 12. The user can put food into the first cavity 12 or take food out of the first cavity 12 through the first opening 11a and the inlet and outlet of the first cavity 12, which is convenient to operate.
[0036] The water receiving portion 22 and the water collecting portion 21 both serve to collect condensed water. Figure 2 and Figure 3 The water receiving portion 22 and the water collecting portion 21 are respectively located on both sides of the first door sealing plate 11 along the thickness direction. In this way, on the one hand, the water receiving portion 22 can collect the condensed water seeping from the gap between the first door sealing plate 11 and the first cavity 12. The water collecting portion 21 can collect the condensed water seeping from the first opening 11a. For example, after cooking is finished, the condensed water is adsorbed on the surrounding area of the first opening 11a. After the user opens the first opening 11a, the condensed water can be prevented from flowing out of the first opening 11a and dripping directly onto the storage surface. On the other hand, the condensed water can flow to the water collecting portion 21 through the water receiving portion 22, for example, through the flow channel formed between the first door sealing plate 11 and the water receiving member 20, or through an external pipe connecting the water receiving portion 22 and the water collecting portion 21. In this way, the condensed water can be prevented from overflowing from the water receiving portion 22, and it is also convenient for the user to clean the condensed water.
[0037] The water retaining portion 23 is disposed around the water receiving portion 22 , which can effectively prevent the condensed water from overflowing outward through the water receiving portion 22 , thereby further improving the anti-overflow effect of the water receiving member 20 .
[0038] The type of the first box 10 is not limited, for example, it can be an electric steamer, a microwave oven, an electric steamer, a microwave oven, and the like.
[0039] In the cooking utensil 100 provided in the embodiment of the present application, the water receiving portion 22 and the water collecting portion 21 are respectively located on both sides of the first door sealing plate 11 along the thickness direction. In this way, on the one hand, the water receiving portion 22 can collect condensed water seeping from the gap between the first door sealing plate 11 and the first cavity 12, and the water collecting portion 21 can collect condensed water seeping from the first opening 11a, which can effectively prevent condensed water from dripping onto the storage surface. On the other hand, condensed water can flow from the water receiving portion 22 to the water collecting portion 21, which can prevent condensed water from overflowing from the water receiving portion 22 and also make it easier for users to clean up the condensed water. The water retaining portion 23 is arranged around the water receiving portion 22, which can effectively prevent condensed water from overflowing from the side of the water receiving portion 22 toward the first cavity 12, further enhancing the anti-overflow effect of the water receiving member 20.
[0040] In one embodiment, there are multiple first flanges 111, and the multiple first flanges 111 are spaced apart along the length direction of the first door sealing plate 11. In this way, the connection stability between the first box body 10 and the water receiving member 20 can be further enhanced.
[0041] It should be noted that, in this application, a plurality refers to a quantity including two or more.
[0042] For some examples, see Figure 4 , part of the surface of the water collecting portion 21 is recessed downward to form a water collecting groove 21a. In this way, the water collecting groove 21a can increase the water storage capacity of the water collecting portion 21, prevent the condensed water from overflowing, and reduce the number of times the user cleans the condensed water, thereby improving the user experience.
[0043] It should be noted that, in the present application, down refers to the direction toward the ground, and up refers to the direction opposite to down.
[0044] For some examples, see Figure 3 The first flange 111 is formed with an overflow hole 111a, which communicates with the water collection tank 21a. This means that condensed water dripping onto the first flange 111 can flow through the overflow hole 111a into the water collection tank 21a. This increases the flow rate of condensed water from the water receiving portion 22 to the water collection portion 21, thereby preventing excess condensed water from the water receiving portion 22 from overflowing.
[0045] For some examples, see Figure 1 and Figure 5 The outer edge of the water collecting portion 21 away from the first door sealing plate 11 is folded to form a hand guard portion 211 .
[0046] For example, please see Figure 5The outer edge of the water collecting portion 21 is folded so that the outer contour line of the hand guard 211 is in an arc shape. In this way, when the user's hand passes over the water collecting portion 21, it can prevent the user's hand from accidentally touching the outer edge of the water collecting portion 21 and causing scratches.
[0047] For some examples, see Figures 3 to 5 The water receiving member 20 includes a positioning hole 20a and a water barrier 24. The first flange 111 is formed with a positioning hole 111b. The water barrier 24 surrounds the portion surrounding the positioning hole 20a and penetrates the positioning hole 111b. In other words, the water barrier 24 protrudes toward one side of the first flange 111. In this way, on the one hand, the water barrier 24 has a positioning function, and the first flange 111 can be quickly positioned on the water receiving member 22 through the positioning hole 111b and the water barrier 24, thereby improving the assembly efficiency of the first housing 10 and the water receiving member 20. On the other hand, the water barrier 24 can prevent condensed water from dripping downward through the positioning hole 20a.
[0048] For some examples, see Figure 1 and Figure 2 The cooking utensil 100 includes a second box body 30, which includes a second door sealing plate 31 and a second cavity 32 connected to each other. A second flange is formed on the top edge of the second door sealing plate 31. The second flange 311 is located on the side of the second door sealing plate 31 close to the second cavity 32, and at least a portion of the water receiving portion 22 is overlapped with the second flange 311.
[0049] The second cavity 32 can be used for storing and cooking food. The second door seal 31 can be used to shield the entrance and exit of the second cavity 32, forming a closed space within the cavity 32 and improving cooking efficiency. The second flange 311 increases the contact area between the second door seal 31 and the water receiving member 20, thereby enhancing the connection stability between the second housing 30 and the water receiving member 20.
[0050] At least a portion of the water receiving portion 22 overlaps the second flange 311. That is, the first housing 10 and the second housing 30 are stacked vertically. This allows for an increased number of foods to be cooked simultaneously without increasing the footprint of the cooking appliance 100. This improves the cooking efficiency of the cooking appliance 100 and enhances the user experience. Furthermore, the water receiving member 20 prevents condensed water from the first housing 10 from dripping onto the second housing 30, potentially damaging it.
[0051] For example, see Figure 1 The second door sealing plate 31 is formed with a second opening 31a, which is connected to the inlet and outlet of the second cavity 32. The user can put food into the second cavity 32 or take food out of the second cavity 32 through the second opening 31a and the inlet and outlet of the second cavity 32, which is convenient to operate.
[0052] The type of the second housing 30 is not limited, for example, it can be an electric steamer, a microwave oven, an electric steamer, a microwave oven, etc. The first housing 10 and the second housing 30 can cook food in different ways to achieve multifunctional cooking.
[0053] In one embodiment, the cooking utensil 100 includes a fastener that penetrates the positioning hole 111b, the limiting hole 20a, and the second flange 311 in the vertical direction. This facilitates assembly and enhances the connection stability of the first housing 10, the water receiving member 20, and the second housing 30.
[0054] In one embodiment, the first flange 111 is connected to the water receiving portion 22 by glue, and the second flange 311 is connected to the water receiving portion 22 by glue. In this way, the production cost can be reduced.
[0055] For some examples, see Figure 1 The cooking appliance 100 includes a water collecting member 40 connected to the bottom side of the second door sealing plate 31. The water collecting member 40 collects condensed water that seeps out of the second opening 31a. For example, after cooking, the condensed water is absorbed around the second opening 31a. When the user opens the second opening 31a, the condensed water is prevented from flowing out of the second opening 31a and dripping onto the storage surface.
[0056] In some embodiments, on a projection plane parallel to the first door sealing plate 11 , a projection length of the water receiving member 20 is not less than a projection length of the first door sealing plate 11 .
[0057] For example, on a projection plane parallel to the first door sealing plate 11, the projected length of the water receiving member 20 is greater than the projected length of the first door sealing plate 11. This allows condensed water to flow to the water collecting portion 21 through the portion of the water receiving portion 22 that protrudes from the first flange 111, thereby increasing the flow rate of the condensed water.
[0058] In some embodiments, the height of the water retaining portion 23 is between 3 mm and 10 mm.
[0059] For example, the height of the water retaining portion 23 may be 3 mm (millimeter), 4 mm, 5 mm, 6 mm, 7 mm, 8 mm, 9 mm or 10 mm, etc. By setting a suitable height, the anti-overflow effect of the water retaining portion 23 is improved.
[0060] In some embodiments, the water receiving member 20 is a sheet metal structure. In other words, the water receiving member 20 can be made of metal material, which has high structural strength and is not easy to damage.
[0061] In some embodiments, the water receiving member 20 is an integrally formed structure. For example, the water receiving member 20 can be an integral structure formed by injection molding, compression molding, or the like. In other words, the water receiving member 20 can be made of plastic to reduce production costs.
