[0027] In this application, the "height direction" orientation or position relationship is based on the Figure 1 The orientation or position relationship shown in the figure is based on the orientation or position relationship of the first direction. Figure 4 It should be understood that these directional terms are only used to facilitate the description of this application and simplify the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operate in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be understood as limiting this application.

[0028] An embodiment of the present application provides a cooking utensil. Figures 1 to 3 The cooking appliance includes a housing 10, a door 20 and a control box assembly 30. The housing 10 includes a cooking cavity 10a having an opening 10b on one side.

[0029] The door body 20 is openably and closably disposed at the opening 10 b . The door body 20 has a first end 21 and a second end 22 on opposite sides along a first direction. The first end 21 is connected to the box body 10 , and the second end 22 is movable relative to the box body 10 .

[0030] The control box assembly 30 is disposed on the box body 10 .

[0031] When the door body 20 is closed, the control box assembly 30 is located on the side of the second end 22 away from the first end 21, and is spaced apart from at least a portion of the second end 22 to form a handle space 20a connected to the outside world at the gap, and a portion of the second end 22 protrudes toward the direction close to the control box assembly 30 to form a handle portion 23.

[0032] Specifically, the cooking appliance can be any type of cooking appliance, such as a microwave oven, the cooking cavity 10a is a furnace cavity, and the door body 20 is a furnace door. For ease of description, this application takes the cooking appliance as a microwave oven as an example for description.

[0033] See also Figure 3 An opening 10b is formed on one side of the box body 10, and the opening 10b is communicated with the cooking cavity 10a for the user to put food into the cooking cavity 10a.

[0034] The door 20 is disposed at the opening 10 b and can be moved relative to the box body 10 to switch between closing the opening 10 b and opening the opening 10 b.

[0035] One end of the door body 20 is connected to the box body 10, and the other end can move relative to the box body 10. For example, the first end 21 of the door body 20 is a connecting end connected to the box body 10, and the second end 22 of the door body 20 is a rotating end that can rotate around the first end 21 to move relative to the box body 10.

[0036] The first end 21 and the second end 22 of the door body 20 are respectively two opposite ends of the door body 20 along a first direction, wherein the first direction is actually the length direction of the door body 20 .

[0037] On one side of the box body 10 with the opening 10b, in addition to the door body 20, a control box assembly 30 is also provided. The control box assembly 30 is a structure having the function of controlling the operation of the entire machine.

[0038] When the door 20 is closed, the control box assembly 30 is located outside the second end 22, on the side opposite the first end 21. A handle space 20a is formed between the second end 22 of the door 20 and the control box. A portion of the second end 22 can be spaced from the control box to form the handle space 20a for the user's hand to enter. Alternatively, the entire second end 22 can be spaced from the control box to form the handle space 20a.

[0039] The outside of the handle space 20a is communicated with the outside world, so that the user's hand can enter the handle space 20a to perform the door opening operation.

[0040] A handle portion 23 is further formed at the second end 22 of the door body 20 . The handle portion 23 is formed by protruding from a portion of the second end 22 and protrudes toward the control box assembly 30 .

[0041] It can be understood that the extension direction of the handle portion 23 can be along the first direction, or can be at a certain angle to the first direction, that is, inclined relative to the first direction.

[0042] For example, see Figure 4 and Figure 5 Along the direction approaching the control box assembly 30, the handle portion 23 is tilted relative to the first direction toward the side away from the cooking cavity 10a. In other words, the handle portion 23 gradually tilts toward the side away from the cooking cavity 10a from the side away from the control box assembly 30 to the side closer to the control box assembly 30. As a result, the handle portion 23 is tilted toward the outside of the handle space 20a to best fit the grip of the user's hand, making it easier for the user to pull the handle portion 23, thereby optimizing the user's door opening experience.

[0043] In the related art, a microwave oven has a control box recessed relative to the door 20 to create a height difference with the door 20, and then a handle is built into the door 20 so that the user can operate the handle. However, this makes it difficult to place the control box and affects the aesthetics of the microwave oven.

[0044] However, the handle space 20a of the present application is formed by the door body 20 and the control box assembly 30. The control box assembly 30 does not need to be recessed relative to the door body 20 to avoid the user from operating the handle, thereby facilitating the installation of the control box assembly 30 and reducing the impact on the aesthetics of the microwave oven.

[0045] It can be seen that the control box assembly 30 of the cooking utensil is arranged on the cabinet 10 and located at the side of the door body 20 having the second end 22. When the door body 20 is closed, at least a part of the second end 22 is spaced from the control box assembly 30 to form the handle space 20a in communication with the outside, and the part of the second end 22 protrudes towards the control box assembly 30 to form the handle part 23. On the one hand, since the handle part 23 is formed, the user can pull the handle part 23 to pull the door body 20 to open the door body 20, thereby improving the convenience of the user to open the door. At the same time, since the handle part 23 is formed by the second end 22 of the door body 20, the handle part 23 and the door body 20 are integrally formed, so that the handle or the button does not need to be additionally increased, the structure of the cooking utensil can be made simpler, the volume of the cooking utensil can be reduced, and the cost can be reduced. On the other hand, the handle space 20a is formed by spacing the second end 22 from the control box assembly 30, and in the process of opening the door, the user's hand can be inserted into the handle space 20a to hold the handle part 23, thereby improving the convenience of opening the door by pulling the handle part 23.

[0046] In an embodiment, referring to Figure 5 , the handle part 23 has a first holding surface 23a on the side close to the handle space 20a and a second holding surface 23b on the side away from the handle space 20a, and at least one of the first holding surface 23a and the second holding surface 23b is an arc surface curved towards the outside of the handle space 20a. In this way, the shape of the user's hand can be better matched to facilitate the user to hold.

[0047] Specifically, the first holding surface 23a is an inner side surface of the handle part 23 on the inside of the handle space 20a, and the second holding surface 23b is an outer side surface of the handle part 23 on the outside of the handle space 20a.

[0048] According to the actual situation, only the first holding surface 23a can be a curved arc surface curved towards the outside relative to the first direction, or only the second holding surface 23b can be a curved arc surface curved towards the outside relative to the first direction.

[0049] Of course, the first holding surface 23a and the second holding surface 23b can also be curved arc surfaces curved towards the outside relative to the first direction. In this way, the handle part 23 can be designed to be curved towards the outside of the handle space 20a relative to the first direction, so that the handle part 23 is inclined towards the side away from the cooking cavity 10a relative to the first direction, to further facilitate the user to hold, thereby facilitating the user to open the door.

[0050] Of course, the handle part 23 can also have other shapes.

[0051] For example, the handle portion 23 includes a first gripping surface 23a located near the handle space 20a and a second gripping surface 23b located away from the handle space 20a. At least one of the first gripping surface 23a and the second gripping surface 23b is an inclined plane that tilts outward from the handle space 20a. In other words, both the first gripping surface 23a and the second gripping surface 23b are planes that form a predetermined angle with the first direction, thereby tilting outward relative to the first direction. This facilitates the processing and manufacturing of the handle portion 23.

[0052] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 2 The handle space 20a has a communication port 20b communicating with the outside world, and the handle portion 23 is located at the communication port 20b and covers a portion of the handle space 20a. Therefore, after the user's hand extends into the handle space 20a, it is convenient for the user to grasp the handle and open the door.

[0053] Specifically, the handle space 20a is connected to the outside world, and a communication port 20b is formed at the connection point between the handle space 20a and the outside world. Because the handle portion 23 is formed by a portion of the second end 22 protruding toward the control box assembly 30, the handle portion 23 will form a certain obstruction on the handle space 20a.

[0054] It should be noted that the handle portion 23 only covers a portion of the handle space 20a rather than the entire area, so that it is convenient for the user to extend the handle into the handle space 20a to open the door.

[0055] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 2 The handle space 20a extends at opposite ends in the height direction to the top and bottom sides of the cabinet 10, respectively. The second end 22 extends away from the side of the cooking cavity 10a toward the control box assembly 30 to form a protruding handle portion 23. This makes it convenient for the user to grasp the handle portion 23 to open the door.

[0056] Specifically, the handle space 20a is a groove structure extending along the height of the cabinet 10. The top of the handle space 20a extends to the top side of the cabinet 10, and the bottom of the handle space 20a extends to the bottom side of the cabinet 10. The second end 22 protrudes from the side facing away from the cooking cavity 10a to form a handle portion 23.

[0057] It should be noted that the top and bottom ends of the handle space 20a can be in the form of openings 10b, that is, they are respectively connected to the outside. Depending on the actual situation, the top and bottom ends of the handle space 20a can also be closed, such as by providing partitions at both ends of the handle space 20a to ensure that the top and bottom ends of the handle space 20a are both closed.

[0058] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 5 The second end 22 includes a first section 221 proximal to the cooking cavity 10a and a second section 222 facing away from the cooking cavity 10a. The second section 222 is spaced apart from the control box assembly 30 to form a handle space 20a. The first section 221 protrudes relative to the second section 222 and extends to the control box assembly 30. This allows the first section 221 to better mate with the side of the cabinet 10 with the opening 10b. Furthermore, the second section 222 separates the cabinet from the control box assembly 30, thereby forming the handle space 20a.

[0059] Specifically, the second end 22 comprises two sections: a first section 221 located adjacent to the cooking cavity 10a, and a second section 222 located on the side of the first section 221 facing away from the cooking cavity 10a. The space between the second section 222 and the control box assembly 30 forms a handle space 20a. The first section 221 protrudes toward the control box assembly 30 relative to the second section 222, thereby forming a stepped surface with the second section 222.

[0060] The first section 221 protrudes and extends to the control box assembly 30. It should be noted that the first section 221 can contact the control box assembly 30, thereby fitting perfectly with the control box assembly 30. Depending on the actual situation, a small gap can be formed between the first section 221 and the control box assembly 30, that is, the two do not contact each other.

[0061] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 5 The control box assembly 30 includes a sidewall 31 near the door body 20. The sidewall 31 includes a first area 311 near the cooking cavity 10a and a second area 312 facing away from the cooking cavity 10a. The first area 311 corresponds to the first section 221, and the second area 312 is spaced apart from the second section 222. The spaced apart area forms a handle space 20a. The second area 312 is recessed relative to the first area 311, away from the control box assembly 30. This widens the handle space 20a, making it easier for users to open the door.

[0062] Specifically, a sidewall 31 of the control box assembly 30, located on the side closest to the door 20, corresponds to the second end 22 of the door 20. The sidewall 31 includes a first region 311 adjacent to the cooking cavity 10a and a second region 312 located on the side of the first region 311 facing away from the cooking cavity 10a. The first region 311 of the sidewall 31 corresponds to the first section 221, while the second region 312 corresponds to the second section 222, thereby forming the handle space 20a.

[0063] The second area 312 is recessed relative to the first area 311 , so that a step is formed between the first area 311 and the second area 312 . This increases the width of the handle space 20 a and facilitates the user in opening the door.

[0064] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 5 A gap is formed between the first area 311 and the first section 221. The side of the first section 221 facing away from the cooking cavity 10a extends toward the side near the second area 312, thereby forming a protruding shielding edge 223 that blocks the gap. In other words, by extending the entire outer edge of the first section 221 toward the control box assembly 30, the gap between the first area 311 and the first section 221 is concealed, thereby improving the integrity of the cooking appliance and enhancing its overall appearance.

[0065] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 5 , along the direction approaching the control box assembly 30, the shielding edge 223 is inclined relative to the first direction, toward the side away from the cooking chamber 10a. In other words, from the direction away from the control box assembly 30 to the direction approaching the control box assembly 30, the shielding edge 223 is also inclined outward relative to the first direction. Thus, the shielding edge 223 can also be grasped by the user during the door closing operation, making it easier for the user to close the door.
