The plurality of brackets 14 are connected, eliminating the need to install the brackets 14 one by one within the cooking cavity 102, thereby reducing installation difficulty and time.

[0054] It can be understood that since the multiple brackets 14 are connected, the multiple brackets 14 can be assembled together outside the cooking cavity 102 (for example, the multiple brackets 14 are connected through the adapter plate 16, or the multiple brackets 14 are directly connected), and then installed in the cooking cavity 102. It is also possible to make the multiple brackets 14 integrally formed or the multiple brackets 14 and the cooking cavity 102 integrally formed, and then when assembling the cooking utensil 1, there is no need to install the brackets 14 one by one in the cooking cavity 102, which greatly reduces the difficulty of installation.

The second curved portion 1442 includes a third opening 1440, and the third opening 1440 and the second opening 1420 are oriented toward the same side or opposite sides of the bracket 14. This allows the second curved portion 1442 to act as a buffer. Furthermore, the deformation of the second curved portion 1442 can absorb abnormal displacement during installation of the heating tube 12 or when the heating tube 12 is pressed, thereby preventing the heating tube 12 from being squeezed and possibly ruptured.

[0083] Optionally, when the third opening 1440 and the second opening 1420 are oriented toward opposite sides of the bracket 14 , the first curved portion 1422 and the second curved portion 1442 are substantially in an “S” shape.

[0104] Specifically, the heating tube assembly includes a heating tube 12, an adapter support plate (such as an adapter plate 16) and a flexible bracket, etc., and has the advantages of simple structure and low cost. The flexible bracket is fixed to the adapter support plate by riveting. The flexible bracket is made of 0.1mm stainless steel sheet and has a certain elasticity to prevent the heating tube 12 from being squeezed with the bracket 14 and the glass tube (such as the heating tube 12) due to abnormal displacement or impact, resulting in the heating tube 12 being broken. The heating tube 12 is fixed to the adapter support plate by the flexible bracket. After the assembly is assembled, it is installed into the cooking cavity 102 through three assembly screws to achieve a fixed connection. The heating tube assembly proposed in this application first pre-assembles the heating tube 12 and the adapter plate 16, and then assembles the screws of the heating tube assembly to the back plate of the cooking cavity 102 of the embedded steam oven, which greatly shortens the assembly time and reduces the difficulty of assembly. The use of pre-assembly technology and component production improves the assembly quality and reliability of the heating tube 12.

[0105] In the related art, when assembling a heating tube, it is necessary to manually install the first bracket of the heating tube first, then install the heating tube, and then install the other brackets in sequence while manually holding it. Due to the deep depth of the cooking cavity of the shell, relying on manual screwing one by one is time-consuming and labor-intensive, and the heating tube can easily be cracked or damaged due to the twisting of the bracket when driving the screws. The heating tube assembly proposed in this application can first install the flexible bracket and heating tube 12 into the adapter plate 16 by riveting, and then fix the entire assembly to the interior of the cooking cavity 102 by locking screws, thereby reducing the assembly time by 90% (from the previous 10 minutes to 1 minute) and greatly reducing the difficulty of assembly, thereby ensuring assembly reliability and effectively avoiding damage to the heating tube 12 due to poor assembly (the assembly damage rate in the related art is close to 50%).
