[0031] Please refer to Figures 1-5 This utility model provides a cooking device, including a door and a camera module 2. The door includes an outer glass door panel 11 and an inner glass door panel 13 disposed inside the outer glass door panel 11. An installation cavity is formed between the outer glass door panel 11 and the inner glass door panel 13. A camera viewing window area 131 is provided on the inner glass door panel 13. The camera module 2 is installed in the mounting cavity. The camera module 2 includes a bracket structure and a camera structure 21. The bracket structure includes a support base 231, which is installed on the inner side of the outer glass door panel 11. A receiving groove 232 is provided on the rear side of the support base 231. A first buckle 233 is provided on the periphery of the receiving groove 232. The camera structure 21 includes a base 211, in which a camera circuit board is installed. A camera body 212 electrically connected to the camera circuit board is provided on the rear side of the base 211. The base 211 is secured in the receiving groove 232 by the first buckle 233. The camera body 212 is aligned with the camera viewing window area 131.

[0032] The cooking device provided by this utility model installs the camera module 2 between the outer glass door panel 11 and the inner glass door panel 13, thereby preventing the high-temperature air and / or high-temperature steam generated during cooking from directly acting on the camera module 2, thus ensuring the safety of the camera module 2. Simultaneously, by creating a receiving groove 232 on the support base 231 and providing first buckles 233 around the receiving groove 232, the base 211 of the camera structure 21 can be secured in the receiving groove 232. This design is simple, easy to install, and has good installation stability.

[0033] Optionally, the camera module 2 further includes a limiting member 22, and the camera structure 21 further includes a limiting protrusion 213 disposed around the camera body 212. The limiting member 22 includes a limiting support 221 and a locking hole 222 formed on the limiting support 221. The limiting support 221 is installed on the rear side of the support base 231, and the camera body 212 extends out from the locking hole 222. The limiting protrusion 213 is located on the rear side of the limiting support 221. By setting the limiting member 22, the camera body 212 of the camera structure 21 is further limited, ensuring the stability of the camera body 212.

[0034] Optionally, the limiting member 22 also includes a first connecting hole 223 opened on the limiting support 221, and the bracket structure also includes a second connecting hole 235 opened on the support base 231. The limiting support 221 is connected to the support base 231 by screws passing through the first connecting hole 223 and the second connecting hole 235. The structure is simple and the connection stability is good.

[0035] Optionally, the limiting member 22 also includes a heat dissipation hole 224 opened on the limiting support 221. The heat dissipation hole 224 is located on the front side of the base 211 to facilitate heat dissipation of the camera circuit board installed in the base 211.

[0036] Optionally, a glue groove 236 is provided on the front side of the support base 231, and an overflow hole 237 is provided in the glue groove 236. After glue is placed in the glue groove 236, the support base 231 is glued to the back side of the outer glass door panel 11. Excess glue overflows through the overflow hole 237, preventing excess glue from overflowing from the periphery of the glue groove 236 or even from overflowing from the periphery of the support base 231, which would affect the aesthetics.

[0037] Optionally, the support base 231 is also provided with a second buckle 234, and the camera structure 21 also includes a wire connected to the camera circuit board. The wire is secured to the support base 231 by the buckle to facilitate the fixing of the wire.
