Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cooking equipment technology, and in particular to a cooking device that is easy to clean. Background Technology

[0002] Existing cooking appliances, such as microwave ovens, electric ovens, and steam ovens, often use upper and lower heating elements to ensure the cooking effect of heating food, so that the cavity temperature rises quickly and the food is baked to be fragrant and delicious.

[0003] However, in actual use, food oil splatters onto the top cover of the cavity. Due to the space obstruction of the upper heating element, there are dead corners on the top cover, making it difficult to clean. Over time, a layer of dirt will cover the surface of the top cover. Even during cooking, the dirt on the top cover falls onto the food surface, affecting the user experience.

[0004] In the prior art, patent CN211673872U proposes to add a removable partition between the heating element and the top wall of the cavity to prevent oil from splashing onto the top cover. However, there are still some areas on the top wall of the cavity and the heating element that are not thoroughly cleaned.

[0005] Therefore, there is an urgent need in the market for a cooking device that is easier to clean. Utility Model Content

[0006] In view of this, the present invention aims to provide a cooking device that is easy to clean, so as to solve the problem that the top cover of the cooking device is difficult to clean thoroughly in the prior art.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution of this utility model is implemented as follows:

[0008] A cooking device that is easy to clean includes a cavity U-plate and a heating element. The heating element is connected to the cavity U-plate in a manner that allows it to rotate relative to the cavity U-plate. The cavity U-plate is provided with a damper. At least one end of the heating element is connected to the damper to provide a damping force for the heating element in the rotating state.

[0009] Furthermore, the cooking device includes a rotating linkage, and at least one end of the heating element is connected to a damper via the rotating linkage.

[0010] Furthermore, the heating component includes a heating tube and a fixing frame. The heating tube is fixedly connected to the fixing frame, and one end of the rotating connecting rod is engaged with the fixing frame, while the other end is connected to the damper.

[0011] Furthermore, the fixed frame is provided with a locking hole, and the end of the rotating connecting rod near the fixed frame is provided with a locking claw, which engages with the locking hole. The end of the rotating connecting rod away from the fixed frame is provided with a push rod, which abuts against the damper.

[0012] Furthermore, the heating component includes a heating tube, a fixing plate, a sealing element, a limiting block, and a fixing frame, with the end of the heating tube passing through the fixing plate, the sealing element, the limiting block, and the fixing frame in sequence; the heating tube is capable of rotating about the central axis of the end of the heating tube as the rotation center axis.

[0013] Furthermore, the fixing plate is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the cavity U-plate, and the sealing element is disposed between the fixing plate and the inner wall of the cavity U-plate; the heating tube is fixedly connected to the limiting block and the fixing frame, and the limiting block is disposed between the sealing element and the inner wall of the cavity U-plate.

[0014] Furthermore, the damper has a limit stop to limit the maximum angle of rotation of the heating component.

[0015] Furthermore, the cavity U-plate is provided with a reset stop, and the rotating connecting rod is located between the reset stop and the damper, which is used to limit the rotating connecting rod during the reset process of the heating component.

[0016] Furthermore, the cooking device includes a top cover and a partition, the partition being detachably disposed between the top cover and the heating element. The partition has a protrusion, the lower surface of which is formed as a concave surface.

[0017] Furthermore, the inner wall of the cavity U-plate is provided with a guide rail, and the partition is mounted on the guide rail and can move along the guide rail.

[0018] Compared with existing technologies, the easy-to-clean cooking device described in this utility model has the following advantages:

[0019] The present invention provides a cooking device that is easy to clean. By setting the heating element to be rotatable, when the user needs to clean the top cover, the heating element can be pulled to rotate, thereby freeing up the operating space under the top cover and making it easier for the user to clean the top cover more thoroughly.

[0020] Meanwhile, through the relevant settings of the damper, when the user pulls the heating component to rotate, the damper can provide a reverse damping force to the heating component, so that the heating component can rotate smoothly and avoid the user applying too much force and causing the component to bump. In addition, after the user finishes cleaning, the reverse damping force provided by the damper allows the heating component to automatically reset, so the user does not need to manually reset the heating component, thus reducing the difficulty of operation.

Detailed Implementation

[0032] The inventive concepts of this disclosure will be described below using terminology commonly used by those skilled in the art to convey the essence of their work to others skilled in the art. However, these inventive concepts may be embodied in many different forms and should not be construed as limited to the embodiments described herein.

[0033] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in these embodiments of the present invention can be combined with each other. The directional terms used in this application refer to the conventional orientation of cooking appliances (such as microwave ovens, steam ovens, etc.) in their normal placement state, and can be found in the accompanying drawings. Figure 1 , 3 The coordinate system in [the image / image]. (See attached image / image). Figure 2 The red arrow in the image indicates the rotation direction of the heating element 3 and can also serve as an operation indicator inside the cooking device.

[0034] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0035] To address the problem of incomplete cleaning of the top cover of existing cooking devices, this embodiment proposes a cooking device that is easy to clean, as shown in the attached figure. Figure 1-8 As shown, the cooking device includes a cavity U-plate 22 and a heating element 3. The heating element 3 is connected to the cavity U-plate 22 in a manner that allows it to rotate relative to the cavity U-plate 22. The cavity U-plate 22 is provided with a damper 7. At least one end of the heating element 3 is connected to the damper 7 to provide a damping force for the heating element 3 in the rotating state.

[0036] It should be noted that the heating element 3 is preferably an upper heating tube and related structures located in the upper part of the inner cavity 2 of the cooking device, so as to correspond to the technical problem to be solved by this application. However, if the structural design allows, the heating element 3 can also be a lower heating tube and related structures located in the lower part of the inner cavity 2 of the cooking device. Therefore, this application does not specifically distinguish between upper heating tubes and lower heating tubes, nor does it impose too many restrictions.

[0037] This application sets the heating element 3 to be rotatable, so that when the user needs to clean the top cover, the heating element 3 can be pulled to rotate, thereby freeing up the operating space under the top cover and making it easier for the user to clean the top cover more thoroughly.

[0038] Meanwhile, through the relevant settings of the damper 7, when the user pulls the heating component 3 to rotate, the damper 7 can provide a reverse damping force to the heating component 3, so that the heating component 3 can rotate smoothly and avoid the user applying too much force and causing the component to bump. In addition, after the user finishes cleaning, the reverse damping force provided by the damper 7 allows the heating component 3 to automatically reset, so the user does not need to manually reset the heating component 3, thereby reducing the difficulty of user operation.

[0039] The damper 7 in this application is a buffer damper that provides linear damping function, such as a hydraulic telescopic damper or a spring damper.

[0040] Accordingly, the cooking device includes a rotating link 6, and at least one end of the heating element 3 is connected to the damper 7 via the rotating link 6. Thus, by setting the rotating link 6, the rotation of the heating element 3 can be converted into an approximately linear motion by the rotating link 6, and cooperate with the damper 7 to provide a damping force for the rotating heating element 3.

[0041] To avoid affecting the inner cavity 2 of the cooking device, the rotating connecting rod 6 and the damper 7 are both located in the outer space of the cavity U plate 22. Correspondingly, the end of the heating component 3 passes through the cavity U plate 22 and is connected to the rotating connecting rod 6.

[0042] Regarding the specific assembly of the heating element 3, the rotating link 6, and the damper 7, the heating element 3 includes a heating tube 31 and a fixing frame 33. The heating tube 31 is fixedly connected to the fixing frame 33. One end of the rotating link 6 is engaged with the fixing frame 33, and the other end is connected to the damper 7. Specifically, the fixing frame 33 is provided with a locking hole 34, and the rotating link 6 is provided with a locking claw 61 at the end near the fixing frame 33. The locking claw 61 engages with the locking hole 34, which facilitates the connection between the heating element 3 and the rotating link 6, and also makes it easy to disassemble and maintain the relevant components. Correspondingly, since the rotating link 6 and the damper 7 are both located in the outer space of the cavity U-plate 22, the fixing frame 33 is also located in the outer space of the cavity U-plate 22 to facilitate structural assembly.

[0043] A top rod 62 is provided at the end of the rotating link 6 away from the fixed frame 33, and the top rod 62 abuts against the damper 7. When the heating tube 31 rotates, the rotating link 6 rotates accordingly. Since the rotating link 6 has a certain length, the rotating link 6 can convert the rotation into the movement of the top rod 62, so that a relative force is generated between the top rod 62 and the damper 7, thereby providing a damping force to the heating component 3.

[0044] Regarding the assembly of the heating component 3, the heating component 3 includes a heating tube 31, a fixing plate 36, a sealing element 35, a limiting block 32, and a fixing frame 33. Along the extension direction of the end of the heating tube 31, the end of the heating tube 31 passes through the fixing plate 36, the sealing element 35, the limiting block 32, and the fixing frame 33 in sequence. The heating tube 31 can rotate about the central axis of the end of the heating tube 31.

[0045] The fixing plate 36 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the cavity U-plate 22, preferably with fasteners, so that the heating element 3 and the cavity U-plate 22 are fixedly assembled. The sealing element 35 is disposed between the fixing plate 36 and the inner wall of the cavity U-plate 22 to provide a sealing effect and ensure that the inner cavity 2 does not leak. Of course, the fixing plate 36 and the sealing element 35 can be connected to the cavity U-plate 22 simultaneously with the same fasteners.

[0046] The heating element 31 is fixedly connected to the limiting block 32 and the fixing frame 33, preferably by riveting or welding. Since the heating element 3 penetrates the cavity U-plate 22, the cavity U-plate 22 has a corresponding through hole. The maximum size of the limiting block 32 is larger than the maximum size of the through hole, providing a limiting effect for the heating element 3, ensuring that the heating element 31 will not move laterally during rotation. Preferably, the limiting block 32 is disposed between the sealing element 35 and the inner wall of the cavity U-plate 22. At least a portion of the structure of the limiting block 32 can also be located in the through hole to further improve the sealing effect.

[0047] The damper 7 has a limit stop, which is used to limit the maximum distance the push rod 62 can move, or in other words, to limit the maximum angle of rotation of the heating component 3, so as to prevent the heating component 3 from being rotated excessively by the user.

[0048] A reset stop 24 is provided on the outer wall of the cavity U plate 22. The rotating link 6 is located between the reset stop 24 and the damper 7. It is used to limit the rotating link 6 during the reset process of the heating component 3. Correspondingly, it also limits the rotation of the heating component 3, so as to prevent the heating component 3 from continuing to rotate in the opposite direction after it is kept horizontal, and also to prevent the heating component 3 from rotating in the horizontal state.

[0049] In this application, the heating component 3 can be configured according to the structure proposed in this application at either end. That is, the heating component 3 can be connected to the damper 7 at either end, and only one set of related accessories is required; or both ends can be connected to the corresponding dampers 7 respectively, and two sets of related accessories are required. This application does not impose any restrictions.

[0050] To further reduce oil contamination of the top cover plate, the cooking device includes a top cover plate 21 and a partition 4. The partition 4 is detachably positioned between the top cover plate 21 and the heating element 3, shielding the top cover plate 21 to prevent oil from splashing directly onto it. Simultaneously, the partition 4 can be removed for separate cleaning. Correspondingly, after removing the partition 4, the heating element 3 can be pulled to thoroughly clean the top cover plate 21. Here, the heating element 3 can refer to the upper heating tube and related structures.

[0051] The inner wall of the cavity U-plate 22 is provided with a guide rail 23, and the partition 4 is mounted on the guide rail 23 and can move along the guide rail 23. Therefore, when it is necessary to remove or install the partition 4, the user only needs to simply pull the partition 4 out of the guide rail 23 or insert it into the guide rail 23, which is convenient.

[0052] Handles 42 are provided on both the front and rear sides of the partition 4. The handles 42 are designed with stepped pressing edges, which helps to improve the mechanical strength of the partition 4 and makes it easier for users to apply force to the partition 4. On the other hand, it makes it easy for users to install the partition 4 without distinguishing between the front and rear directions.

[0053] The partition 4 is provided with a protrusion 41, the lower surface of which is concave. Correspondingly, the partition 4 is made of mirror stainless steel. Under the action of the concave surface, it can effectively concentrate heat in the inner cavity 2 and more effectively radiate heat to the food surface. In addition, a plate 5, such as a baking pan or drip tray, can also be provided in the inner cavity 2 of the cooking device to enrich the function of the cooking device.

[0054] In this utility model, the technical content proposed in this application can be adopted for any cooking device. In addition, based on the technical content provided in this application, the cooking device also includes conventional components such as a housing, door assembly 1, and electronic control components. Since these conventional components are all prior art, they will not be described in detail here.

[0055] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
