Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of household appliances, and in particular to a cooking utensil. Background Technology

[0002] Cooking appliances, as common kitchen appliances, are widely used in homes and businesses due to their efficient and convenient heating methods. Typically, the front of a cooking appliance includes a door assembly and a control box assembly. Users select cooking modes, heating times, etc., using function buttons on the control box, and open the door using an open button to retrieve food. However, the door opening mechanism of existing cooking appliances is relatively complex. Most products have an open button on the control box assembly, which triggers a series of internal mechanical components, such as a door hook, linkage, and spring, to automatically open the door. While this design improves ease of operation, it also introduces significant usage problems.

[0003] Because their internal structure involves multiple interconnected components, cooking appliance door opening systems are prone to wear and tear, jamming, and other malfunctions during frequent use, leading to button malfunctions or the door failing to open properly. Especially when buttons or mechanical structures are severely worn, the opening operation becomes clunky, causing inconvenience to users. Furthermore, the complex structure increases manufacturing costs and makes repairs more complicated. A malfunctioning door opening system not only affects the user experience but can also pose safety hazards in certain situations. Utility Model Content

[0004] The main purpose of this utility model is to propose a cooking utensil that aims to improve the practicality of existing cooking utensils.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides a cooking appliance comprising: a cavity mechanism, a furnace door mechanism, and a control mechanism. The cavity mechanism has a cooking cavity with an opening on one side. The furnace door mechanism includes a furnace door body and a door hook. The door hook is movably mounted on the side of the furnace door body near the cavity mechanism and can be engaged or disengaged from the cavity mechanism. The control mechanism includes a control switch and a transmission component pulsatingly connected to the control switch.

[0006] When the oven door body closes the cooking cavity, the door hook engages with the cavity mechanism;

[0007] When the oven door body opens the cooking cavity, the control switch pushes the transmission component to move, and the transmission component lifts the door hook to disengage the door hook from the cavity mechanism.

[0008] Optionally, the transmission component includes an abutment plate that movably abuts against the control switch and a push rod that movably abuts against the door hook, with one end of the push rod fixed to one side of the abutment plate.

[0032] This utility model proposes a cooking utensil.

[0033] In the embodiments of this utility model, such as Figures 1 to 7As shown, the cooking appliance includes: a cavity mechanism 10, a furnace door mechanism 20, and a control mechanism 30. The cavity mechanism 10 has a cooking cavity 11 with an opening on one side. The furnace door mechanism 20 includes a furnace door body 21 and a door hook 22. The door hook 22 is movably installed on the side of the furnace door body 21 near the cavity mechanism 10 and can be engaged or disengaged from the cavity mechanism 10. The control mechanism 30 includes a control switch 32 and a transmission component 35 that is pulsatorically connected to the control switch 32.

[0034] When the oven door body 21 closes the cooking cavity 11, the door hook 22 engages with the cavity mechanism 10;

[0035] When the oven door body 21 opens the cooking cavity 11, the control switch 32 pushes the transmission component 35 to move, and the transmission component 35 lifts the door hook 22 so that the door hook 22 is disengaged from the cavity mechanism 10.

[0036] In this embodiment, the cavity mechanism 10 constitutes the main body of the cooking appliance, and a cooking cavity 11 is provided inside it. The cooking cavity 11 has an opening on one side for placing food to be heated.

[0037] The oven door mechanism 20 is an important component of the cooking appliance, comprising the oven door body 21 and the door hook 22. One side of the oven door body 21 is connected to the cavity mechanism 10 via a rotatable connection, allowing the user to open or close the cooking cavity 11 with a simple rotation. The door hook 22 is a component movably mounted on the oven door body 21, designed to engage with the cavity mechanism 10, thereby ensuring that the oven door mechanism 20 is securely locked when the cooking cavity 11 is closed.

[0038] The control mechanism 30 includes a control switch 32 and a transmission component 35 that is pulsatorically connected to the control switch 32. The control switch 32 and the transmission component 35 are mechanically connected, and when the user operates the system, pressing the control switch 32 actuates the transmission component 35. One end of the transmission component 35 abuts against the door hook 22, causing the door hook 22 to engage with the cavity mechanism 10 when the oven door body 21 is closed, maintaining the closed state of the cooking cavity 11. When the user needs to open the oven door, pressing the control switch 32 causes the control switch 32 to push the door hook 22 away from the cavity mechanism 10 via the transmission component 35, allowing the oven door to open easily. This control mechanism 30 not only improves the convenience of operation but also ensures the safety of the cooking appliance by precisely controlling the engagement and disengagement of the door hook 22, preventing accidental operation when the oven door should not be opened.

[0039] This utility model provides a cooking appliance, including a cavity mechanism 10, a door mechanism 20, and a control mechanism 30. The cavity mechanism 10 has a cooking cavity 11 with an opening on one side for placing food to be heated. The door mechanism 20 includes a door body 21 and a door hook 22. One side of the door body 21 is fixed to the cavity mechanism 10 via a rotatable connection, used to open or close the cooking cavity 11. The door hook 22 is installed on the inside of the door body 21, allowing for movable operation. When the door body 21 is closed, the door hook 22 is firmly engaged with the cavity mechanism 10, ensuring a closed state during heating and thus guaranteeing cooking safety.

[0040] The control mechanism 30 consists of a control switch 32 and a transmission component 35 that is connected to the control switch 32. When the user needs to open the oven door, the door can be opened by activating the control switch 32. Specifically, one end of the transmission component 35 abuts against the door hook 22, and the other end is connected to the control switch 32. When the user presses the control switch 32, the transmission component 35 is pushed through its abutment relationship with the control switch 32, thereby causing the door hook 22 to disengage from the cavity mechanism 10, allowing the oven door body 21 to smoothly open the cooking cavity 11. This design not only simplifies the operation process of the door opening mechanism and improves the ease of use of the cooking appliance, but also effectively enhances its practicality.

[0041] It should be explained that the cooking appliance can be any cooking appliance with a door structure, such as microwave oven, oven, air fryer, rice steamer, electric grill, etc., and there are no specific restrictions here.

[0042] Furthermore, such as Figures 1 to 7 As shown, the transmission component 35 includes an abutment plate 351 that movably abuts against the control switch 32 and a push rod 354 that movably abuts against the door hook 22. One end of the push rod 354 is fixed to one side of the abutment plate 351. In this embodiment, the abutment plate 351 is used to abut against the control switch 32, thereby transmitting the pressing force of the control switch 32. Specifically, the plate surface of the abutment plate 351 faces the control switch 32 and abuts against the control switch 32. The push rod 354 is used to push the door hook 22 to move and thus open the cooking cavity 11. Specifically, one end of the push rod 354 is fixed to one side of the abutment plate 351. It should be explained that the push rod 354 is fixed to any side of the abutment plate 351 that is not the plate surface, thereby forming an integral transmission structure with the abutment plate 351. With this design, when the user presses the control switch 32, the control switch 32 pushes the abutment plate 351 to move in a specific direction. The movement of the abutment plate 351 causes the top rod 354, which is fixedly connected to it, to move together, so that the other end of the top rod 354 applies force to the door hook 22, thereby pushing the door hook 22 to disengage from the cavity mechanism 10, making it convenient for the user to open the furnace door smoothly.

[0043] Furthermore, such as Figures 1 to 7As shown, mounting plates 352 are respectively provided on opposite sides of the abutment plate 351, and rotating shafts 353 are coaxially arranged on the two mounting plates 352. The push rod 354 is eccentrically arranged relative to the central axis of the rotating shaft 353. In this embodiment, the mounting plates 352 are used to fix the rotating shaft 353 and the push rod 354. The coaxial arrangement of the two rotating shafts 353 allows the abutment plate 351 to rotate around the rotating shaft 353 between the mounting plates 352. The push rod 354 is eccentrically arranged relative to the central axis of the rotating shaft 353, thereby realizing the eccentric transmission of force during the transmission process. The eccentrically arranged push rod 354 can generate a larger torque during rotation, thereby more effectively pushing the door hook 22 out of the latching position of the cavity mechanism 10.

[0044] Furthermore, such as Figures 1 to 7 As shown, a top block 355 protrudes from the end of the top rod 354 away from the mounting plate 352, and the top block 355 movably abuts against the door hook 22. In this embodiment, the top block 355 increases the contact area between the top rod 354 and the door hook 22, thereby providing a more stable force transmission during the transmission process and avoiding local wear or jamming caused by insufficient contact area. At the same time, the top block 355 protruding from the top rod 354 also allows the top rod 354 to generate a larger torque during rotation, thereby more accurately controlling the movement path of the door hook 22 and improving the operational flexibility of the cooking appliance.

[0045] Furthermore, such as Figures 1 to 7 As shown, the control mechanism 30 includes a housing 311, with a mounting base 315 protruding from the inner wall of the housing 311 for fixing the rotating shaft 353. In this embodiment, the housing 311 provides mounting positions for other components of the control mechanism 30, and the mounting base 315 securely fixes the rotating shaft 353 to the inner wall of the housing, thereby enabling the abutment plate 351 to rotate stably around the rotating shaft 353, avoiding loosening or displacement of the rotating shaft 353 due to long-term use or frequent operation. Specifically, the mounting base 315 protrudes from the inner wall of the housing 311, and a fixing hole 316 is provided at the end of the mounting base 315. The two rotating shafts 353 are respectively inserted into the fixing holes 316, thereby fixing the transmission component 35 to the mounting base 315.

[0046] Furthermore, such as Figures 1 to 7As shown, the housing 311 has a mounting groove 312, and the control switch 32 is disposed within the mounting groove 312. The control switch 32 includes a push rod 321 and a return spring 33 sleeved on the push rod 321. The bottom wall of the mounting groove 312 has a mounting hole 313. The push rod 321 passes through the mounting hole 313 and abuts against the abutment plate 351. One end of the return spring 33 abuts against the bottom wall of the mounting groove 312, and the other end abuts against the inner wall of the control switch 32. In this embodiment, the mounting groove 312 is used to fix and support the control switch 32. By installing the control switch 32 within the mounting groove 312, it can be ensured that it is stably fixed on the housing 311 and is not easily disturbed or damaged by external forces. At the same time, the mounting groove 312 also provides a certain degree of protection for the control switch 32, preventing it from being corroded by dust, moisture, and other contaminants during use.

[0047] The control switch 32 includes a push rod 321 and a return spring 33 sleeved on the push rod 321. The bottom wall of the mounting groove 312 has a mounting hole 313. The push rod 321 passes through the mounting hole 313 and abuts against the second transmission member 35. One end of the return spring 33 abuts against the bottom wall of the mounting groove 312, and the other end abuts against the inner wall of the control switch 32. The push rod 321 is located at the central axis of the control switch 32. The control switch 32 has a positioning post 322 located off-center from the central axis. The bottom wall of the mounting groove 312 has a positioning hole 314 that mates with the positioning post 322. By setting the positioning post 322, the installation efficiency of the control switch 32 is effectively improved, and the offset of the control switch 32 during use is prevented, thus improving the structural stability of the control mechanism 30.

[0048] Furthermore, the end of the push rod 321 that abuts against the second transmission member 35 is provided with an inclined abutment portion. The inclined abutment portion can make the transmission relationship between the push rod 321 and the second transmission member 35 smoother, thereby improving the overall performance and user experience of the cooking appliance oven door unlocking mechanism.

[0049] Furthermore, such as Figures 1 to 7 As shown, a guide post 34 protrudes from the inner wall of the housing 311 corresponding to the mounting hole 313, and the mounting hole 313 penetrates the guide post 34. In this embodiment, the guide post 34 is used to stabilize the push rod 321. Specifically, the guide post 34 protrudes from the inner wall of the housing 311 corresponding to the mounting hole 313, and the mounting hole 313 penetrates the guide post 34. Therefore, when the control switch 32 is installed, after the push rod 321 of the control switch 32 enters the guide post 34, the control switch 32 will not deviate, thereby improving the installation accuracy of the control switch 32. At the same time, the guide post 34 can prevent the control switch 32 from tilting or deviating during use, effectively improving the structural stability of the control switch 32 during use.

[0050] Furthermore, such as Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the cavity mechanism 10 includes a cooking body 12, a fixing plate 13 fixed to the cooking body 12, and an interlocking bracket 14 fixed to the fixing plate 13. The interlocking bracket 14 is fixed to the other side of the fixing plate 13 relative to the oven door mechanism 20. The hook portion of the door hook 22 passes through the fixing plate 13 and engages with the interlocking bracket 14. In this embodiment, the fixing plate 13 provides support and connection between the cooking body 12 and the oven door mechanism 20. Its position and structural design ensure that the door hook 22 can pass through the fixing plate 13 and achieve a stable engagement with the interlocking bracket 14, thereby enhancing the sealing of the cooking cavity 11. The interlocking bracket 14 is installed on the other side of the fixing plate 13. It can be understood that the interlocking bracket 14 is located inside the cooking body 12 and fixed to the fixing plate 13, mainly serving to securely lock the door hook 22. When the oven door is closed, the hook of the door hook 22 passes through the fixing plate 13 and engages with the interlocking bracket 14, ensuring reliable closure of the oven door. When the oven door needs to be opened, the transmission component 35 pushes the door hook 22 out of the interlocking bracket 14 via the control push rod 354, thereby enabling the oven door to open smoothly. This design, with the fixing plate 13 and the interlocking bracket 14 working together, effectively ensures the sealing safety of the oven door during the heating process, prevents microwave leakage, and improves the safety and reliability of the cooking appliance.

[0051] The above description is only an optional embodiment of the present utility model and does not limit the patent scope of the present utility model. All equivalent structural transformations made under the inventive concept of the present utility model using the contents of the present utility model specification and drawings, or direct / indirect applications in other related technical fields, are included within the patent protection scope of the present utility model.
