Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of kitchen appliances, in particular to a cooking utensil and a cabinet. Background Art

[0002] At present, the built-in oven in the related art is installed in a cabinet of customized size. During the process of opening and closing the door, the door body rotates downward around the axis, and the bottom of the door body is prone to interfere with the cabinet surface or table top. If the bottom of the door body is to avoid interference with the cabinet, the customized cabinet will sink 10mm, that is, the gap between the product and the cabinet is large, affecting the appearance and product quality. Utility Model Content

[0003] The embodiments of the present utility model are intended to solve at least one of the technical problems existing in the prior art.

[0004] To this end, a first aspect of an embodiment of the present invention provides a cooking utensil.

[0005] A second aspect of the embodiments of the present invention provides a cabinet.

[0006] In view of this, according to the first aspect of an embodiment of the present invention, a cooking utensil is provided, which includes: a box body, which is provided with a cooking cavity; a door body assembly, which is openably and closably arranged on the box body, and is used to open or close the cooking cavity; a connecting arm, one end of the connecting arm is connected to the box body, and the other end of the connecting arm is movably connected to the door body assembly, and along the height direction of the box body, a side of the connecting arm away from the cooking cavity is provided with an avoidance surface, and the avoidance surface is configured to be close to the door body assembly; wherein the avoidance surface includes a first end and a second end opposite to each other, the first end is away from the cooking cavity than the second end, and along the height direction of the box body, the distance between the first end and the center of the box body is smaller than the distance between the second end and the center of the box body.

[0007] The cooking device provided in the present invention includes a housing, a door assembly, and a connecting arm. Specifically, the housing is provided with a cooking cavity, which is understood to be used to accommodate food. The door assembly is openably disposed on the housing, that is, it can move relative to the housing to open or close the cooking cavity.

[0008] The two ends of the connecting arm are respectively connected to the box body and the door body assembly, that is, the door body assembly is openably and closably connected to the box body through the connecting arm.

[0009] It is understandable that when the entire cooking appliance is placed on a cabinet or table, the gap between the bottom of the door assembly and the loading surface of the cabinet or the table is generally 6 mm. In the built-in oven in the related art, the bottom of the door moves downward by about 6.3 mm during the door opening and closing process, causing the bottom of the door to interfere with the loading surface of the cabinet or the table during the door opening and closing process.

[0010] Along the height direction of the box body, a avoidance surface is provided on the side of the connecting arm away from the cooking cavity. That is to say, when the connecting arm is arranged close to the bottom of the box body, that is, when the bottom of the door assembly is flipably connected to the box body through the connecting arm, the bottom surface of the connecting arm includes the avoidance surface.

[0011] The avoidance surface includes a first end and a second end facing each other, the first end is far away from the cooking cavity, and the second end is close to the cooking cavity, and along the height direction of the box, the distance between the first end and the center of the box is smaller than the distance between the second end and the center of the box, that is, when the connecting arm is arranged close to the bottom of the box, along the height direction of the box, the first end is higher than the second end.

[0012] Since the avoidance surface is close to the door assembly, that is, the end of the connecting arm close to the door assembly is tilted upward, which significantly shortens the distance between the center of the connection position between the door assembly and the connecting arm and the first end of the avoidance surface, that is, the center of the connection position is moved upward, so that in the process of the door assembly moving relative to the box body to open or close the cooking cavity, the interference between the bottom of the door assembly and the loading surface or table top of the cabinet can be avoided, thereby improving the smoothness of the door assembly opening and closing process, and thus helping to improve the user experience.

[0013] Moreover, by moving upwards the center of the connection position between the door assembly and the connecting arm, the downward displacement of the bottom of the door assembly can be significantly reduced during the opening and closing process of the door assembly. Even if the gap between the bottom of the door assembly and the loading surface is small, no interference will occur, thereby improving the aesthetics when embedding cooking utensils in the cabinet, which is conducive to enhancing the brand quality.

[0014] Optionally, compared to the built-in oven in the related art, the center of the connection position between the door assembly and the connecting arm is moved up by 6 mm. During the opening and closing process of the door assembly, the bottom of the door assembly moves downward by 2.5 mm. During the opening and closing process of the door assembly, the bottom of the door assembly does not interfere with the loading surface or table top of the cabinet.

[0015] Optionally, a portion of the connecting arm is embedded in the box body to achieve connection between the connecting arm and the box body.

[0016] Optionally, the door assembly includes a door body and an outer shell, and the outer shell is connected to the door body, nested on the door body, and fixed by screws.

[0017] In addition, the cooking appliance provided by the above technical solution of the utility model also has the following additional technical features:

[0018] In some technical solutions, optionally, at least a portion of the first end is configured as an arc-shaped surface.

[0019] In this technical solution, at least part of the first end is defined as an arcuate surface, that is, the end of the connecting arm close to the door assembly is an arcuate surface, which is conducive to further shortening the distance between the center of the connection position between the door assembly and the connecting arm and the first end of the avoidance surface, thereby realizing the upward movement of the center of the connection position, thereby avoiding interference between the bottom of the door assembly and the loading surface or table top of the cabinet during the movement of the door assembly relative to the box body to open or close the cooking cavity, thereby improving the smoothness of the door assembly during opening and closing.

[0020] In addition, it can be understood that the connection position between the door body assembly and the connecting arm is generally an axial hole. Setting at least part of the first end as an arc-shaped surface is conducive to making the thickness of the part between the axial hole wall and the avoidance surface more uniform, avoiding damage to the connecting arm during repeated opening and closing of the door body assembly, and helping to extend the service life of the connecting arm.

[0021] In some technical solutions, optionally, the connecting arm is provided with an axial hole, and the cooking utensil further includes a rotating member, which is provided in the axial hole to enable the door assembly to be rotatably connected to the connecting arm; wherein, the distance d1 between the center of the axial hole and the first end satisfies 5mm≤d1≤8mm.

[0022] In this technical solution, it is defined that the cooking utensil also includes a rotating part. Specifically, the connecting arm is provided with an axial hole, and the rotating part is arranged at the axial hole, that is, the door body assembly is rotatably connected to the connecting arm through the rotating part. Since one end of the connecting arm close to the door body assembly is tilted upward, the distance between the center of the axial hole and the first end of the avoidance surface is significantly shortened, that is, the center of the axial hole is moved upward.

[0023] The distance between the center of the axis hole and the first end of the avoidance surface is between 5mm and 8mm, so that when the door assembly moves relative to the box body to open or close the cooking cavity, the bottom of the door assembly can be prevented from interfering with the loading surface or table top of the cabinet, thereby improving the smoothness of the door assembly opening and closing process.

[0024] Optionally, the rotating member includes a rotating shaft and a sleeve, the sleeve being sleeved on the outside of the rotating shaft and arranged in the shaft hole to fill the gap between the rotating shaft and the wall of the shaft hole, thereby limiting the rotating shaft and preventing the rotating shaft from moving radially along the rotating shaft.

[0025] Optionally, the rotating shaft includes a pin or a pin.

[0026] In some technical solutions, optionally, a connecting surface is provided on the side of the connecting arm away from the cooking cavity along the height direction of the box body, and the connecting surface is connected to the avoidance surface. The connecting surface is closer to the cooking cavity than the avoidance surface; wherein, the distance d2 between the end of the connecting surface close to the cooking cavity and the center of the axial hole satisfies 40mm≤d2≤43mm.

[0027] In this technical solution, it is defined that a connecting surface is also provided on the side of the connecting arm away from the cooking cavity along the height direction of the box body. When the connecting arm is arranged close to the bottom of the box body, that is, when the bottom of the door assembly is flipably connected to the box body through the connecting arm, the bottom surface of the connecting arm also includes a connecting surface.

[0028] The distance between the end of the connecting surface close to the cooking cavity and the center of the axis hole is between 40mm and 43mm. It can be understood that in the related art, the distance between the end of the connecting surface close to the cooking cavity and the center of the axis hole is generally 39.3mm. That is to say, by setting the distance between the end of the connecting surface close to the cooking cavity and the center of the axis hole between 40mm and 43mm, the distance between the end of the connecting surface close to the cooking cavity and the center of the axis hole is increased, and the center of the axis hole is moved to the right, so that in the process of the door assembly moving relative to the box body to open or close the cooking cavity, the interference between the bottom of the door assembly and the loading surface or table top of the cabinet can be further avoided, thereby improving the smoothness of the door assembly during opening and closing, and thus helping to improve the user experience.

[0029] Optionally, 40.3mm≤d2≤42.3mm.

[0030] In some technical solutions, optionally, the cooking appliance further includes a first damping mechanism, which is provided in the door assembly; wherein, the door assembly can move between a first position and a second position relative to the box body, and based on the door assembly being in the first position, the door assembly closes the cooking cavity; based on the door assembly being in the second position, the door assembly opens the cooking cavity, and the first damping mechanism can keep the door assembly in the second position.

[0031] In this technical solution, it is defined that the cooking appliance also includes a first damping mechanism. Specifically, the door assembly can move between a first position and a second position relative to the box body. When the door assembly is in the first position, the cooking cavity is closed, that is, the first position is the closed position. When the door assembly is in the second position, the cooking cavity is opened, that is, the second position is the open position.

[0032] When the door body assembly is in the open position, due to the presence of the first damping mechanism, the door body assembly can be maintained in the open position, achieving the hovering of the door body assembly, which is beneficial to further enhance the user's door opening and closing experience.

[0033] It is understood that when the angle between the outer side surface of the door assembly and the horizontal plane is 30°, the presence of the first damping mechanism allows the door assembly to remain in this position. When the angle between the outer side surface of the door assembly and the horizontal plane is 60°, the presence of the first damping mechanism allows the door assembly to remain in this position. That is, by providing the first damping mechanism, the door assembly can be hovered at any angle.

[0034] In some technical solutions, optionally, the first damping mechanism includes a first transmission member and a first elastic member, wherein one end of the first transmission member is connected to the connecting arm, and the two ends of the first elastic member are respectively connected to the other end of the first transmission member and the door body assembly; based on the door body assembly being in the second position, the first elastic member is deformed to keep the door body assembly in the second position.

[0035] In this technical solution, it is defined that the first damping mechanism includes a first transmission member and a first elastic member. Specifically, one end of the first transmission member is connected to the connecting arm, one end of the first elastic member is connected to the other end of the first transmission member, and the other end of the first elastic member is connected to the door body assembly.

[0036] Specifically, when the door assembly moves from the first position to the second position, the connecting arm can drive the first transmission member to move, thereby deforming the first elastic member. At this time, the first elastic member generates an elastic force. In addition, it is understood that when the door assembly is opened to a certain angle relative to the box body, the weight of the door assembly will generate a certain torque. By making the elastic force generated by the first elastic member equal to the torque generated by the weight of the door assembly, the door assembly can be hovered in the second position, achieving hovering at any door opening angle.

[0037] Optionally, the first elastic member includes a tension spring.

[0038] In some technical solutions, optionally, based on the door assembly being in the first position, the first elastic member is deformed.

[0039] In this technical solution, when the door body assembly is in the first position, the first elastic member has a certain deformation. That is to say, when the door body assembly closes the cooking cavity, the first elastic member has a certain elasticity, so that the door body assembly can be firmly fixed in the closed position, realizing the locking function, and further enhancing the user experience of the cooking appliance.

[0040] In some technical solutions, optionally, the door body assembly is provided with a first guide groove, the first damping mechanism further includes a first connecting member, the first transmission member is connected to the first elastic member through the first connecting member, the first connecting member is located in the first guide groove, and can move in the first guide groove.

[0041] In this technical solution, it is defined that the first damping mechanism further includes a first connecting member. Specifically, the first transmission member and the first elastic member are connected via the first connecting member.

[0042] The door body assembly is provided with a first guide groove, the first connecting member is inserted into the first guide groove and can move in the first guide groove, which limits the movement path and movement range of the first connecting member, ensures the effective extension and contraction of the first elastic member, and further ensures hovering at any door opening angle.

[0043] Optionally, the first connecting member comprises a pin.

[0044] In some embodiments, the door body assembly is movable relative to the cabinet between a first position and a second position, the door body assembly closes the cooking cavity when the door body assembly is in the first position, and the door body assembly opens the cooking cavity when the door body assembly is in the second position. The cooking appliance further comprises a second damping mechanism arranged on the door body assembly. The door body assembly is further movable relative to the cabinet to a third position between the first position and the second position. When the door body assembly is in the third position, the second damping mechanism enables the door body assembly to move to the first position to close the cooking cavity.

[0045] In this embodiment, the cooking appliance further comprises a second damping mechanism. Specifically, the door body assembly is movable relative to the cabinet between a first position and a second position. When the door body assembly is in the first position, the cooking cavity is closed, i.e., the first position is a closed position. When the door body assembly is in the second position, the cooking cavity is opened, i.e., the second position is an open position.

[0046] The third position is between the first position and the second position, i.e., during the movement of the door body assembly from the first position to the second position (opening process), the door body assembly passes through the third position first and then reaches the second position, or during the movement of the door body assembly from the second position to the first position (closing process), the door body assembly passes through the third position first and then reaches the first position.

[0047] When the door body assembly moves from the first position to the third position (small-angle opening), or the door body assembly reversely moves from the second position to the third position (closing to small angle), the second damping mechanism enables the door body assembly to move to the first position to close the cooking cavity, i.e., when the opening angle of the door body assembly relative to the cabinet is small, the door body assembly can move to the first position due to the second damping mechanism, i.e., automatic closing, thereby realizing the automatic closing function of small-angle opening.

[0048] In some embodiments, when the door body assembly is in the third position, the included angle α between the side face of the door body assembly away from the cooking cavity and the horizontal plane satisfies 80°≤α<90°.

[0049] In this embodiment, when the door body assembly is in the third position, the included angle between the side face of the door body assembly away from the cooking cavity and the horizontal plane is greater than or equal to 80° and less than 90°, i.e., when the door body assembly is in the third position, the included angle between the outer side face of the door body assembly and the vertical plane is greater than 0° and less than or equal to 10°, i.e., when the opening angle of the door body assembly is less than or equal to 10°, it is small-angle opening. Due to the second damping mechanism, the door body assembly can move to the first position, i.e., automatic closing, thereby realizing the automatic closing function of small-angle opening.

[0050] In some embodiments, the second damping mechanism comprises a second transmission member and a second elastic member, the second transmission member is arranged on the door body assembly, and the second elastic member is arranged on the second transmission member; when the door body assembly is located at the third position, the second transmission member contacts the connecting arm, and the second elastic member is deformed to drive the door body assembly to move to the first position; when the door body assembly is located at the second position, the second transmission member is separated from the connecting arm, and the second elastic member is reset.

[0051] In this embodiment, the second damping mechanism comprises a second transmission member and a second elastic member, specifically, the second transmission member is arranged on the door body assembly, and the second elastic member is arranged on the second transmission member; when the door body assembly moves from the first position to the third position, or the door body assembly moves from the second position to the third position, the second transmission member contacts the connecting arm, so that the second elastic member is deformed, and under the action of the elastic force of the second elastic member, the door body assembly moves to the first position, i.e. automatically closes the door, thereby realizing the automatic closing function of the small-angle opening door.

[0052] When the door body assembly continues to move, i.e. moves from the third position to the second position, i.e. the included angle between the outer side surface of the door body assembly and the vertical surface exceeds 10°, the second transmission member is separated from the connecting arm, and the second elastic member is reset; under the action of the first damping mechanism, the door body assembly can be suspended at the second position.

[0053] In detail, when the door body assembly moves from the first position to the second position, the connecting arm can drive the first transmission member to move, so that the first elastic member is deformed, and at this time, the first elastic member generates an elastic force. In addition, it can be understood that when the door body assembly is opened at a certain angle relative to the cabinet, the weight of the door body assembly will generate a certain moment, and by making the elastic force generated by the first elastic member equal to the moment generated by the weight of the door body assembly, the door body assembly can be suspended at the second position, thereby realizing the suspension of the door body assembly at any opening angle.

[0054] When the door body assembly moves from the second position to the first position, when the door body assembly moves to the third position, the second transmission member contacts the connecting arm, so that the second elastic member is deformed, at this time, the sum of the elastic force of the second elastic member and the elastic force of the first elastic member is greater than the moment generated by the weight of the door body assembly, thereby realizing the automatic closing of the door body assembly.

[0055] Optionally, the second elastic member is a compression spring.

[0056] In some technical solutions, optionally, the door body assembly is further provided with a second guide groove, and the second transmission member includes a connecting rod, a second connecting member and a roller, wherein the connecting rod is provided on the door body assembly, the second elastic member is provided on the connecting rod, the second connecting member is provided on the connecting rod, the second connecting member is located in the second guide groove and can move in the second guide groove, the roller is provided on the second connecting member, and based on the door body assembly being in the third position, the roller is in contact with the connecting arm.

[0057] In this technical solution, it is defined that the second transmission member includes a connecting rod, a second connecting member and a roller. Specifically, the connecting rod is arranged on the door body assembly. Optionally, the door body assembly is also provided with a support plate, the support plate is provided with a through hole, one end of the connecting rod passes through the through hole and can move in the through hole, the second connecting member is arranged at the other end of the connecting rod, the second elastic member is sleeved on the connecting rod, one end of the second elastic member is against the support plate, and the other end of the second elastic member is against the connecting rod.

[0058] Specifically, when the door body assembly moves from the first position to the third position, or the door body assembly moves from the second position to the third position, the roller contacts the connecting arm, pushes the second connecting member, and drives the connecting rod to move, so that the second elastic member is compressed. Under the action of the elastic force of the second elastic member, the door body assembly moves to the first position, that is, the door is automatically closed, thereby realizing the automatic closing function of the door opening at a small angle.

[0059] When the door body assembly continues to move, that is, moves from the third position to the second position, that is, when the angle between the outer side surface of the door body assembly and the vertical plane exceeds 10°, the roller disengages from the connecting arm, and the second elastic member resets. Under the action of the first damping mechanism, the door body assembly can hover in the second position.

[0060] It can be understood that by contacting the roller with the connecting arm to deform the second elastic member when the door is opened at a small angle, interference between the second transmission member and the connecting arm during the opening and closing process of the door assembly is prevented, which is conducive to further improving the smoothness of the opening and closing of the door assembly and enhancing the user's door opening and closing experience.

[0061] The second connecting member is inserted into the second guide groove and can move in the second guide groove, which limits the movement path and movement range of the second connecting member, ensures the effective extension and contraction of the second elastic member, and further ensures the automatic door closing function when the door is opened at a small angle.

[0062] Optionally, the second connecting member comprises a pin.

[0063] In some technical solutions, optionally, the cooking appliance further includes a limiting member, which is movably connected to the connecting arm, and the limiting member is provided with a limiting groove, in which a portion of the connecting arm is located.

[0064] In this technical solution, it is defined that the cooking appliance further includes a limiting member. Specifically, the limiting member is movably connected to the connecting arm. Optionally, the limiting member and the connecting arm are movably connected via a pin.

[0065] The limiting member is provided with a limiting groove, and a portion of the connecting arm is located in the limiting groove. That is to say, in the process of the door body assembly moving relative to the box body to open or close the cooking cavity, part of the connecting arm is always located in the limiting groove to limit the connecting arm, ensure the position of the connecting arm in the box body, and prevent the connecting arm from falling out of the box body during repeated opening and closing of the door body assembly, which is conducive to further improving the user experience.

[0066] According to the second aspect of the present invention, a cabinet is provided, comprising a cooking utensil and a cabinet body as provided in any of the above technical solutions. The cooking utensil is embedded in the cabinet body and thus has all the beneficial technical effects of the cooking utensil, which will not be repeated here.

[0087] It is understandable that when the entire cooking appliance 100 is placed on a cabinet or a table, the gap between the bottom of the door assembly 120 and the loading surface of the cabinet or the table is generally 6 mm. In the built-in oven in the related art, the bottom of the door moves downward by about 6.3 mm during the door opening and closing process, causing the bottom of the door to interfere with the loading surface of the cabinet or the table during the door opening and closing process.

[0088] Along the height direction of the cabinet 110, a avoidance surface 131 is provided on the side of the connecting arm 130 away from the cooking cavity 111. That is, when the connecting arm 130 is arranged close to the bottom of the cabinet 110, that is, when the bottom of the door assembly 120 is flipably connected to the cabinet 110 through the connecting arm 130, the bottom surface of the connecting arm 130 includes the avoidance surface 131.

[0089] The avoiding surface 131 comprises a first end 132 and a second end 133 opposite to each other, the first end 132 is away from the cooking cavity 111, and the second end 133 is close to the cooking cavity 111, and along the height direction of the box body 110, the distance between the first end 132 and the box body center 140 is less than the distance between the second end 133 and the box body center 140, that is, in the case that the connecting arm 130 is arranged close to the bottom of the box body 110, along the height direction of the box body 110, the first end 132 is higher than the second end 133.

[0090] Since the avoiding surface 131 is close to the door body assembly 120, that is, the end of the connecting arm 130 close to the door body assembly 120 is upwardly bent, the distance between the center of the connecting position of the door body assembly 120 and the first end 132 of the avoiding surface 131 is significantly shortened, that is, the center of the connecting position is upwardly moved, so that the bottom of the door body assembly 120 can avoid interfering with the load surface of the cabinet or the tabletop during the movement of the door body assembly 120 relative to the box body 110 to open or close the cooking cavity 111, and the smoothness of the opening and closing process of the door body assembly 120 is improved, thereby improving the user experience.

[0091] Moreover, by upwardly moving the center of the connecting position of the door body assembly 120 and the connecting arm 130, the downward movement displacement of the bottom of the door body assembly 120 during the opening and closing process of the door body assembly 120 can be significantly reduced, so that even if the gap between the bottom of the door body assembly 120 and the load surface is small, interference does not occur, thereby improving the aesthetics when the cooking appliance 100 is embedded in the cabinet, and the brand quality is improved.

[0092] Optionally, compared with the embedded oven in the related art, the center of the connecting position of the door body assembly 120 and the connecting arm 130 is upwardly moved by 6 mm, and the bottom of the door body assembly 120 moves downwardly by 2.5 mm during the opening and closing process of the door body assembly 120, so that the bottom of the door body assembly 120 does not interfere with the load surface of the cabinet or the tabletop during the opening and closing process of the door body assembly 120.

[0093] Optionally, a part of the connecting arm 130 is embedded in the box body 110 to realize the connection between the connecting arm 130 and the box body 110.

[0094] Optionally, the door body assembly 120 comprises a door body and a shell, the shell is connected with the door body and is nested on the door body and is fixed by screws.

[0095] In some embodiments, at least a part of the first end 132 is configured as an arc surface.

[0096] In this embodiment, at least a portion of the first end 132 is defined as an arcuate surface, that is, the end of the connecting arm 130 close to the door assembly 120 is an arcuate surface, which is beneficial to further shorten the distance between the center of the connection position between the door assembly 120 and the connecting arm 130 and the first end 132 of the avoidance surface 131, thereby realizing the upward movement of the center of the connection position, thereby avoiding interference between the bottom of the door assembly 120 and the loading surface or table top of the cabinet during the movement of the door assembly 120 relative to the box body 110 to open or close the cooking cavity 111, thereby improving the smoothness of the door assembly 120 during the opening and closing process.

[0097] In addition, it can be understood that the connection position between the door body assembly 120 and the connecting arm 130 is generally the shaft hole 134. Setting at least part of the first end 132 as an arc-shaped surface is conducive to making the thickness of the part between the hole wall of the shaft hole 134 and the avoidance surface 131 more uniform, avoiding damage to the connecting arm 130 during repeated opening and closing of the door body assembly 120, and helping to extend the service life of the connecting arm 130.

[0098] like Figure 9 As shown, in some embodiments, optionally, the connecting arm 130 is provided with an axial hole 134, and the cooking utensil 100 further includes a rotating member 150, which is provided in the axial hole 134 to enable the door body assembly 120 to be rotatably connected to the connecting arm 130; wherein, the distance d1 between the center of the axial hole 134 and the first end 132 satisfies 5mm≤d1≤8mm.

[0099] In this embodiment, it is defined that the cooking utensil 100 further includes a rotating member 150. Specifically, the connecting arm 130 is provided with an axial hole 134, and the rotating member 150 is arranged at the axial hole 134, that is, the door body assembly 120 is rotatably connected to the connecting arm 130 through the rotating member 150. Since one end of the connecting arm 130 close to the door body assembly 120 is tilted upward, the distance between the center of the axial hole 134 and the first end 132 of the avoidance surface 131 is significantly shortened, that is, the center of the axial hole 134 is moved upward.

[0100] The distance between the center of the axis hole 134 and the first end 132 of the avoidance surface 131 is between 5 mm and 8 mm, so that when the door body assembly 120 moves relative to the box body 110 to open or close the cooking cavity 111, the bottom of the door body assembly 120 can be prevented from interfering with the loading surface or table top of the cabinet, thereby improving the smoothness of the door body assembly 120 during opening and closing.

[0101] Optionally, the rotating member 150 includes a rotating shaft and a sleeve, which is sleeved on the outside of the rotating shaft and arranged in the shaft hole 134 to fill the gap between the rotating shaft and the wall of the shaft hole 134, thereby limiting the rotating shaft and preventing the rotating shaft from moving radially along the rotating shaft.

[0102] Optionally, the rotating shaft includes a pin or a pin.

[0103] like Figure 9 As shown, in some embodiments, optionally, along the height direction of the box body 110, a connecting surface 135 is further provided on the side of the connecting arm 130 away from the cooking cavity 111, and the connecting surface 135 is connected to the avoidance surface 131, and the connecting surface 135 is closer to the cooking cavity 111 than the avoidance surface 131; wherein, the distance d2 between the end of the connecting surface 135 close to the cooking cavity 111 and the center of the axial hole 134 satisfies 40mm≤d2≤43mm.

[0104] In this embodiment, it is defined that a connecting surface 135 is further provided on the side of the connecting arm 130 away from the cooking cavity 111 along the height direction of the cabinet 110. When the connecting arm 130 is arranged close to the bottom of the cabinet 110, that is, when the bottom of the door assembly 120 is flipably connected to the cabinet 110 through the connecting arm 130, the bottom surface of the connecting arm 130 also includes a connecting surface 135.

[0105] The distance between the end of the connecting surface 135 close to the cooking cavity 111 and the center of the shaft hole 134 is between 40 mm and 43 mm. It can be understood that in the related art, the distance between the end of the connecting surface close to the cooking cavity and the center of the shaft hole is generally 39.3 mm. That is to say, by increasing the distance between the end of the connecting surface 135 close to the cooking cavity 111 and the center of the shaft hole 134 to between 40 mm and 43 mm, the distance between the end of the connecting surface 135 close to the cooking cavity 111 and the center of the shaft hole 134 is increased, and the center of the shaft hole 134 is moved to the right, so that when the door body assembly 120 moves relative to the box body 110 to open or close the cooking cavity 111, the interference between the bottom of the door body assembly 120 and the loading surface or table top of the cabinet can be further avoided, thereby improving the smoothness of the door body assembly 120 during the opening and closing process, which is beneficial to improving the user experience.

[0106] Optionally, 40.3mm≤d2≤42.3mm.

[0107] like Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 3 、 Figure 4 、 Figure 5 、 Figure 6 、 Figure 7 and Figure 8As shown, in some embodiments, optionally, the cooking appliance 100 further includes a first damping mechanism 160, which is disposed at the door assembly 120; wherein the door assembly 120 is capable of moving between a first position and a second position relative to the cabinet 110, and based on the door assembly 120 being in the first position, the door assembly 120 closes the cooking cavity 111; based on the door assembly 120 being in the second position, the door assembly 120 opens the cooking cavity 111, and the first damping mechanism 160 is capable of keeping the door assembly 120 in the second position.

[0108] In this embodiment, it is defined that the cooking appliance 100 also includes a first damping mechanism 160. Specifically, the door body assembly 120 is capable of moving between a first position and a second position relative to the box body 110. When the door body assembly 120 is in the first position, the cooking cavity 111 is closed, that is, the first position is a closed position. When the door body assembly 120 is in the second position, the cooking cavity 111 is opened, that is, the second position is an open position.

[0109] When the door assembly 120 is in the open position, due to the presence of the first damping mechanism 160, the door assembly 120 can be maintained in the open position, achieving the hovering of the door assembly 120, which is beneficial to further enhance the user's door opening and closing experience.

[0110] It is understood that when the angle between the outer side surface of the door assembly 120 and the horizontal plane is 30°, the door assembly 120 can be maintained in this position due to the presence of the first damping mechanism 160. When the angle between the outer side surface of the door assembly 120 and the horizontal plane is 60°, the door assembly 120 can be maintained in this position due to the presence of the first damping mechanism 160. That is, by providing the first damping mechanism 160, the door assembly 120 can be hovered at any angle.

[0111] like Figure 9 、 Figure 10 、 Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments, optionally, the first damping mechanism 160 includes a first transmission member 161 and a first elastic member 162, wherein one end of the first transmission member 161 is connected to the connecting arm 130, and the two ends of the first elastic member 162 are respectively connected to the other end of the first transmission member 161 and the door body assembly 120; based on the door body assembly 120 being in the second position, the first elastic member 162 is deformed to keep the door body assembly 120 in the second position.

[0112] In this embodiment, the first damping mechanism 160 is defined to include the first transmission member 161 and the first elastic member 162, specifically, one end of the first transmission member 161 is connected with the connecting arm 130, one end of the first elastic member 162 is connected with the other end of the first transmission member 161, and the other end of the first elastic member 162 is connected with the door body assembly 120.

[0113] Specifically, when the door body assembly 120 is moved from the first position to the second position, the connecting arm 130 can drive the first transmission member 161 to move, so that the first elastic member 162 is deformed, and at this time, the first elastic member 162 generates an elastic force. In addition, it can be understood that when the door body assembly 120 is opened at a certain angle relative to the cabinet 110, a certain torque will be generated by the weight of the door body assembly 120, and by making the elastic force generated by the first elastic member 162 equal to the torque generated by the weight of the door body assembly 120, the door body assembly 120 can be suspended at the second position, realizing the suspension at any opening angle.

[0114] Optionally, the first elastic member 162 includes a tension spring.

[0115] In some embodiments, optionally, based on the door body assembly 120 being located at the first position, the first elastic member 162 has a deformation.

[0116] In this embodiment, when the door body assembly 120 is located at the first position, the first elastic member 162 has a certain deformation, that is, in the case that the door body assembly 120 closes the cooking cavity 111, the first elastic member 162 can firmly fix the door body assembly 120 at the closed position due to having a certain elastic member, realizing the locking function and further improving the user's experience of using the cooking appliance 100.

[0117] As shown in Figure 6 , Figure 8 , Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 , in some embodiments, optionally, the door body assembly 120 is provided with a first guide slot 121, and the first damping mechanism 160 further includes a first connecting member 163, the first transmission member 161 and the first elastic member 162 are connected through the first connecting member 163, and the first connecting member 163 is located in the first guide slot 121 and can move in the first guide slot 121.

[0118] In this embodiment, the first damping mechanism 160 further includes the first connecting member 163, specifically, the first transmission member 161 and the first elastic member 162 are connected through the first connecting member 163.

[0119] The door body assembly 120 is provided with a first guide groove 121, and the first connecting member 163 is inserted into the first guide groove 121 and can move in the first guide groove 121, that is, the movement path and movement range of the first connecting member 163 are limited, ensuring the effective extension and contraction of the first elastic member 162, and further ensuring hovering at any door opening angle.

[0120] Optionally, the first connecting member 163 includes a pin.

[0121] like Figure 7 、 Figure 8 、 Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 3 、 Figure 4 、 Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, in some embodiments, optionally, the door assembly 120 can move between a first position and a second position relative to the cabinet 110, based on the door assembly 120 being in the first position, the door assembly 120 closes the cooking cavity 111, based on the door assembly 120 being in the second position, the door assembly 120 opens the cooking cavity 111, and the cooking appliance 100 also includes a second damping mechanism 170, which is arranged on the door assembly 120; wherein, the door assembly 120 can also move to a third position relative to the cabinet 110, and the third position is between the first position and the second position, based on the door assembly 120 being in the third position, the second damping mechanism 170 can cause the door assembly 120 to move toward the first position to close the cooking cavity 111.

[0122] In this embodiment, it is defined that the cooking appliance 100 further includes a second damping mechanism 170. Specifically, the door assembly 120 is capable of moving between a first position and a second position relative to the box body 110. When the door assembly 120 is in the first position, the cooking cavity 111 is closed, that is, the first position is a closed position. When the door assembly 120 is in the second position, the cooking cavity 111 is opened, that is, the second position is an open position.

[0123] The third position is located between the first position and the second position, that is, in the process of the door body assembly 120 moving from the first position to the second position (door opening process), it first passes through the third position and then goes to the second position, or, in the process of the door body assembly 120 moving from the second position to the first position (door closing process), it first passes through the third position and then goes to the first position.

[0124] When the door assembly 120 moves from the first position to the third position (opening the door at a small angle), or when the door assembly 120 moves in the opposite direction from the second position to the third position (closing the door to a small angle), the second damping mechanism 170 can enable the door assembly 120 to move toward the first position to close the cooking cavity 111. That is, when the opening angle of the door assembly 120 relative to the cabinet 110 is small, due to the presence of the second damping mechanism 170, the door assembly 120 can move to the first position, that is, automatically close the door, thereby realizing the automatic door closing function of opening the door at a small angle.

[0125] like Figure 7 As shown, in some embodiments, optionally, based on the door assembly 120 being located at the third position, an angle α between a side surface of the door assembly 120 facing away from the cooking cavity 111 and the horizontal plane satisfies 80°≤α<90°.

[0126] In this embodiment, when the door body assembly 120 is in the third position, the angle between the side of the door body assembly 120 facing away from the cooking cavity 111 and the horizontal plane is greater than or equal to 80° and less than 90°. That is, when the door body assembly 120 is in the third position, the angle between the outer side surface of the door body assembly 120 and the vertical plane is greater than 0° and less than or equal to 10°. That is, when the opening angle of the door body assembly 120 is less than or equal to 10°, it is a small-angle door opening. Due to the presence of the second damping mechanism 170, the door body assembly 120 can move to the first position, that is, automatically close the door, thereby realizing the automatic door closing function of the small-angle door opening.

[0127] like Figure 8 、 Figure 10 、 Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments, optionally, the second damping mechanism 170 includes a second transmission member 171 and a second elastic member 172, wherein the second transmission member 171 is provided on the door body assembly 120, and the second elastic member 172 is provided on the second transmission member 171; based on the door body assembly 120 being in the third position, the second transmission member 171 contacts the connecting arm 130, and the second elastic member 172 is deformed to cause the door body assembly 120 to move toward the first position; based on the door body assembly 120 being in the second position, the second transmission member 171 is disengaged from the connecting arm 130, and the second elastic member 172 is reset.

[0128] In this embodiment, the second damping mechanism 170 is defined to include a second transmission member 171 and a second elastic member 172. Specifically, the second transmission member 171 is arranged on the door body assembly 120, and the second elastic member 172 is arranged on the second transmission member 171. When the door body assembly 120 moves from the first position to the third position, or the door body assembly 120 moves from the second position to the third position, the second transmission member 171 contacts the connecting arm 130 to cause the second elastic member 172 to deform. Under the action of the elastic force of the second elastic member 172, the door body assembly 120 moves to the first position, that is, the door is automatically closed, thereby realizing the automatic closing function of the door opening at a small angle.

[0129] When the door body assembly 120 continues to move, that is, moves from the third position to the second position, that is, when the angle between the outer side surface of the door body assembly 120 and the vertical plane exceeds 10°, the second transmission member 171 disengages from the connecting arm 130, and the second elastic member 172 resets. Under the action of the first damping mechanism 160, the door body assembly 120 can hover in the second position.

[0130] Specifically, when the door assembly 120 moves from the first position to the second position, the connecting arm 130 can drive the first transmission member 161 to move, thereby deforming the first elastic member 162. At this time, the first elastic member 162 generates an elastic force. In addition, it is understood that when the door assembly 120 is opened to a certain angle relative to the box body 110, the weight of the door assembly 120 will generate a certain torque. By making the elastic force generated by the first elastic member 162 equal to the torque generated by the weight of the door assembly 120, the door assembly 120 can be hovered in the second position, achieving hovering at any door opening angle.

[0131] When the door body assembly 120 moves from the second position to the first position, and when the door body assembly 120 moves to the third position, the second transmission member 171 contacts the connecting arm 130, causing the second elastic member 172 to deform. At this time, the sum of the elastic force of the second elastic member 172 and the elastic force of the first elastic member 162 is greater than the torque generated by the weight of the door body assembly 120, thereby realizing automatic closing of the door body assembly 120.

[0132] Optionally, the second elastic member 172 is a compression spring.

[0133] like Figure 6 、 Figure 8 、 Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 3 、 Figure 4 、 Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown, in some embodiments, optionally, the door body assembly 120 is further provided with a second guide groove 122, and the second transmission member 171 includes a connecting rod 173, a second connecting member 174 and a roller 175, wherein the connecting rod 173 is provided on the door body assembly 120, the second elastic member 172 is provided on the connecting rod 173, the second connecting member 174 is provided on the connecting rod 173, the second connecting member 174 is located in the second guide groove 122 and can move in the second guide groove 122, the roller 175 is provided on the second connecting member 174, and based on the door body assembly 120 being in the third position, the roller 175 is in contact with the connecting arm 130.

[0134] In this embodiment, the second transmission member 171 is defined to include a connecting rod 173, a second connecting member 174 and a roller 175. Specifically, the connecting rod 173 is arranged on the door body assembly 120. Optionally, the door body assembly 120 is also provided with a support plate, the support plate is provided with a through hole, one end of the connecting rod 173 passes through the through hole and can move in the through hole, the second connecting member 174 is arranged at the other end of the connecting rod 173, the second elastic member 172 is sleeved on the connecting rod 173, one end of the second elastic member 172 is against the support plate, and the other end of the second elastic member 172 is against the connecting rod 173.

[0135] Specifically, when the door body assembly 120 moves from the first position to the third position, or the door body assembly 120 moves from the second position to the third position, the roller 175 contacts the connecting arm 130, pushes the second connecting member 174, and drives the connecting rod 173 to move, so that the second elastic member 172 is compressed. Under the action of the elastic force of the second elastic member 172, the door body assembly 120 moves to the first position, that is, the door is automatically closed, thereby realizing the automatic closing function of the door at a small angle.

[0136] When the door body assembly 120 continues to move, that is, moves from the third position to the second position, that is, when the angle between the outer side surface of the door body assembly 120 and the vertical plane exceeds 10°, the roller 175 disengages from the connecting arm 130, and the second elastic member 172 resets. Under the action of the first damping mechanism 160, the door body assembly 120 can hover in the second position.

[0137] It can be understood that by contacting the roller 175 with the connecting arm 130 to deform the second elastic member 172 when the door is opened at a small angle, interference between the second transmission member 171 and the connecting arm 130 during the opening and closing process of the door body assembly 120 is prevented, which is conducive to further improving the smoothness of opening and closing the door body assembly 120 and enhancing the user's door opening and closing experience.

[0138] The second connecting member 174 is inserted into the second guide groove 122 and can move in the second guide groove 122, which limits the movement path and range of the second connecting member 174, ensures the effective extension and contraction of the second elastic member 172, and further ensures the automatic door closing function when the door is opened at a small angle.

[0139] Optionally, the second connecting member 174 includes a pin.

[0140] like Figure 7 、 Figure 8 、 Figure 1 、 Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, in some embodiments, optionally, the cooking utensil 100 further includes a limiting member 180 , which is movably connected to the connecting arm 130 , and the limiting member 180 is provided with a limiting groove 181 , and a portion of the connecting arm 130 is located in the limiting groove 181 .

[0141] In this embodiment, the cooking appliance 100 is defined to further include a limiting member 180 . Specifically, the limiting member 180 is movably connected to the connecting arm 130 . Optionally, the limiting member 180 is movably connected to the connecting arm 130 via a pin.

[0142] The limiting member 180 is provided with a limiting groove 181, and a portion of the connecting arm 130 is located in the limiting groove 181. That is to say, in the process of the door body assembly 120 moving relative to the box body 110 to open or close the cooking cavity 111, part of the connecting arm 130 is always located in the limiting groove 181 to limit the connecting arm 130, ensure the position of the connecting arm 130 in the box body 110, and prevent the connecting arm 130 from falling out of the box body 110 during the repeated opening and closing of the door body assembly 120, which is conducive to further improving the user experience.

[0143] In a specific embodiment, the hinge housing is fixed and embedded in the metal bracket of the door body by screws, and the hinge arm (connecting arm 130) is nested and limited to the front plate of the box body 110, and the box body 110 and the door body (door body assembly 120) are connected by the hinge assembly (hinge arm), which can satisfy the door body to rotate relative to the box body 110 on a fixed axis, and the rotation range is 0°-90°. During the opening of the door body, the tension spring (first elastic member 162) on the hinge assembly provides a spring tension equal to the torque generated by the weight of the door body when it is extended, so that the door body can hover at any angle when it is opened. During the closing process of the door body, the tension spring provides a spring tension greater than the torque generated by the weight of the door body when it retracts, so that the door body can close automatically.

[0144] Since the avoidance surface 131 is close to the door body assembly 120, that is, the end of the connecting arm 130 close to the door body assembly 120 is tilted upward, which significantly shortens the distance between the center of the connection position between the door body assembly 120 and the connecting arm 130 and the first end 132 of the avoidance surface 131, that is, the center of the connection position is moved upward, so that when the door body assembly 120 moves relative to the box body 110 to open or close the cooking cavity 111, the bottom of the door body assembly 120 can be prevented from interfering with the loading surface or table top of the cabinet, thereby improving the smoothness of the door body assembly 120 during the opening and closing process, which is beneficial to improving the user experience.

[0145] Moreover, by moving upward the center of the connection position between the door body assembly 120 and the connecting arm 130, the downward movement of the bottom of the door body assembly 120 can be significantly reduced during the opening and closing process of the door body assembly 120. Even if the gap between the bottom of the door body assembly 120 and the loading surface is small, no interference will occur. This can improve the aesthetics when the cooking utensil 100 is embedded in the cabinet, which is conducive to improving the brand quality.

[0146] When the whole machine is placed in a cabinet or table, the gap between the bottom of the door and the cabinet surface or table surface is 6mm. Compared with the original hinge (hinge in the related art), the bottom moves downward 6.3mm during the door opening and closing process, and there is interference with the cabinet surface or table surface. The new hinge (connecting arm 130) changes the fixed rotation axis position (the center of the shaft hole 134) compared to the original hinge (moved 6mm upward and 3mm to the right compared to the original hinge axis position, as shown in the figure). Figure 7 As shown), the hinge arm axis position, the rotation center size and the arc line of the bottom (avoidance surface 131) are changed to avoid interference with the door body (as shown Figure 8 As shown) to meet the downward movement of 2.5mm, so that the door body does not interfere with the cabinet during the opening and closing process, while also meeting the smooth movement of the door body during the opening and closing process.

[0147] According to the second aspect of the present invention, a cabinet is provided, comprising a cooking utensil 100 and a cabinet body 200 as provided in any of the above embodiments. The cooking utensil 100 is embedded in the cabinet body 200, and thus has all the beneficial technical effects of the cooking utensil 100, which will not be repeated here.

[0148] Optionally, the cooking appliance 100 includes an oven, a grill or a steam oven.

[0149] In a specific embodiment, Figure 9 、 Figure 9 、 Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 3 、 Figure 4 、 Figure 5 、 Figure 6 、 Figure 7and Figure 8 Figure 9 Figure 10 As shown, cooking appliance 100 is an oven, which includes a housing 110, a door assembly 120, and a connecting arm 130. Specifically, housing 110 is provided with a cooking cavity 111. It is understood that cooking cavity 111 is used to accommodate food. Door assembly 120 is disposed on housing 110 in an openable and closable manner, that is, door assembly 120 can move relative to housing 110 to open or close cooking cavity 111.

[0150] Both ends of the connecting arm 130 are connected to the box body 110 and the door assembly 120 respectively. That is, the door assembly 120 is connected to the box body 110 in an openable and closable manner through the connecting arm 130 .

[0151] It is understandable that when the entire cooking appliance 100 is placed on a cabinet or a table, the gap between the bottom of the door assembly 120 and the loading surface of the cabinet or the table is generally 6 mm. In the built-in oven in the related art, the bottom of the door moves downward by about 6.3 mm during the door opening and closing process, causing the bottom of the door to interfere with the loading surface of the cabinet or the table during the door opening and closing process.

[0152] Along the height direction of the cabinet 110, a avoidance surface 131 is provided on the side of the connecting arm 130 away from the cooking cavity 111. That is, when the connecting arm 130 is arranged close to the bottom of the cabinet 110, that is, when the bottom of the door assembly 120 is flipably connected to the cabinet 110 through the connecting arm 130, the bottom surface of the connecting arm 130 includes the avoidance surface 131.

[0153] The avoidance surface 131 includes a first end 132 and a second end 133 facing each other, the first end 132 is away from the cooking cavity 111, and the second end 133 is close to the cooking cavity 111, and along the height direction of the box body 110, the distance between the first end 132 and the center 140 of the box body is smaller than the distance between the second end 133 and the center 140 of the box body, that is, when the connecting arm 130 is arranged close to the bottom of the box body 110, along the height direction of the box body 110, the first end 132 is higher than the second end 133.

[0154] Since the avoidance surface 131 is close to the door body assembly 120, that is, the end of the connecting arm 130 close to the door body assembly 120 is tilted upward, which significantly shortens the distance between the center of the connection position between the door body assembly 120 and the connecting arm 130 and the first end 132 of the avoidance surface 131, that is, the center of the connection position is moved upward, so that when the door body assembly 120 moves relative to the box body 110 to open or close the cooking cavity 111, the bottom of the door body assembly 120 can be prevented from interfering with the loading surface or table top of the cabinet, thereby improving the smoothness of the door body assembly 120 during the opening and closing process, which is beneficial to improving the user experience.

[0155] Moreover, by moving upward the center of the connection position between the door body assembly 120 and the connecting arm 130, the downward movement of the bottom of the door body assembly 120 can be significantly reduced during the opening and closing process of the door body assembly 120. Even if the gap between the bottom of the door body assembly 120 and the loading surface is small, no interference will occur. This can improve the aesthetics when the cooking utensil 100 is embedded in the cabinet, which is conducive to improving the brand quality.
