[0002] With the improvement of people's living standards and the increasing emphasis on food health, electric grills have gradually replaced charcoal grills and gas grills as the mainstream choice.

[0003] Current electric grills generally consist of a grill body and a heating element. The heating element heats the grilling area on the grill body to grill the food. However, current electric grills lack a drain system, causing more and more grease and juices to accumulate on the cooking plate during grilling. This not only makes cleaning difficult but also affects the quality of the food. Utility Model Content

[0004] This invention provides an oven designed to solve the problem of existing ovens lacking an oil drain structure, causing grease to accumulate on the cooking plate.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:

[0006] An oven includes a housing, a cooking plate disposed on the housing, and a heating element disposed inside the housing, the heating element being located below the cooking plate;

[0007] The housing is also provided with an oil collection box, which is inserted into the housing. The cooking plate is provided with an oil drain hole, and the oil collection box is located directly below the oil drain hole. The oil leaking from the oil drain hole enters the oil collection box under the action of gravity.

[0008] The housing is also provided with a tool storage box, which is inserted into the housing.

[0009] A further improvement: The housing is provided with a slot that mates with the oil receiving box.

[0010] Based on the above technical solution: the slot design allows the drip tray to be easily inserted into the housing, enabling users to install or remove it without complicated steps. Convenient disassembly and installation mean users can clean the drip tray more quickly, reducing the time required to clean the oven. The tight fit between the slot and the drip tray ensures that the drip tray will not accidentally fall off during use, thus avoiding grease leakage and potential safety hazards. The robust drip tray design reduces the safety risks such as fires caused by grease buildup, providing users with a safer cooking environment.

[0011] A further improvement: The housing is also provided with a plug-in slot that mates with the tool storage box.

[0012] Based on the above technical solution: the interlocking slot allows the tool storage box to be easily installed and removed, enabling users to quickly access tools and improving convenience during cooking. The interlocking slot design also ensures the tool storage box is securely fixed to the oven shell, preventing tools from scattering or getting lost, while optimizing the kitchen's spatial layout for a cleaner and more organized feel. The tight fit between the interlocking slot and the tool storage box ensures the stability of the tools during storage, preventing safety hazards caused by accidental drops.

[0013] A further improved solution: The housing includes a front side close to the operator and a back side away from the operator and opposite to the front side, the insertion groove is recessed into the front side, and the slot is recessed into the back side.

[0014] Based on the above technical solution: the drip tray's insertion slot is located on the front, allowing operators to easily access and clean the drip tray during cooking without having to go around to the back of the oven or perform complicated operations. The different designs on the front and back allow for more efficient use of the oven's space, meeting the needs for drip tray and tool storage while maintaining the oven's overall compactness and aesthetics. Designing the insertion slot and insertion slot separately on the front and back facilitates daily cleaning and maintenance tasks, such as cleaning the drip tray and checking the insertion slot.

[0015] A further improvement: The housing is provided with a knob for controlling the heating component, and the knob is located on the front of the housing.

[0016] Based on the above technical solution: the knob is located on the front of the housing, allowing the operator to see and easily operate it during cooking without bending over or searching for hidden control buttons. By rotating the knob, the operator can instantly adjust the working status of the heating element, such as temperature or heating power, thereby achieving precise control over the cooking process.

[0017] A further improvement: The back of the housing is provided with an oil baffle to prevent oil from splashing in the cooking pan, and the oil baffle is an integral structure with the housing.

[0018] Based on the above technical solution: the main function of the splash guard is to prevent oil from splattering from the cooking pan during cooking, thus avoiding oil splashing onto operators or surrounding objects and reducing the risk of burns and fire. Because the splash guard and the shell are an integral structure, the connection between them is more secure and less prone to detachment or damage due to external forces, thereby enhancing the overall structural stability of the oven. The design of the splash guard confines oil primarily to the area between the cooking pan and the splash guard, reducing the possibility of oil splashing onto other parts of the oven and thus reducing cleaning difficulty.

[0019] A further improved solution: The housing is provided with a mounting plate for mounting the heating component, the oil receiving box is located below the mounting plate, the mounting plate is provided with a through hole, the through hole is coaxially arranged with the oil leakage hole, and the oil leaking from the oil leakage hole enters the oil receiving box through the through hole.

[0020] Based on the above technical solution: because the through hole and the drain hole are coaxially arranged, the oil can flow directly from the drain hole on the cooking plate into the through hole on the mounting plate under the influence of gravity, and then into the oil collection box, reducing the obstruction and leakage of oil during the flow process. The coaxial design of the through hole and drain hole ensures that the oil flows accurately into the oil collection box, avoiding oil splashing or flowing into other unwanted areas. Placing the oil collection box under the mounting plate and using the through hole to collect the oil makes the internal structure of the oven more compact and effectively utilizes the limited space.

[0021] A further improved solution: the heating component is a heating tube, the mounting plate is provided with a positioning cavity for positioning the cooking plate, and the heating tube is coiled around the positioning cavity.

[0022] Based on the above technical solution: the heating element is coiled within the positioning cavity, making heat transfer between the heating element and the cooking plate more direct and efficient. This layout reduces heat loss, improves heating efficiency, and makes the cooking process faster. The coiled heating element creates a uniform heat field under the cooking plate, ensuring that the food on the plate is heated evenly and avoiding problems such as partially burnt or undercooked food caused by uneven heat distribution. The coiled heating element within the positioning cavity also makes the oven's internal structure more compact, effectively utilizing limited space. This not only reduces the oven's size and weight but also makes it easier for users to place and use it at home.

[0023] A further improved solution: The bottom wall of the positioning cavity is provided with a support rib for supporting the heating tube. The support rib protrudes from the bottom wall of the positioning cavity. The heating tube is fixed to the support rib by a connecting piece. The connecting piece is fixed to the support rib by screws. The through hole is provided on the bottom wall.

[0024] Based on the above technical solution: the support rib protrudes from the bottom wall of the positioning cavity, providing a stable support point for the heating tube and preventing deformation or displacement of the heating tube due to thermal expansion during heating. The heating tube is fixed to the support rib using connecting pieces and screws, ensuring a firm connection between the heating tube and the support rib and improving the stability of the heating tube during long-term use. The fixing method using connecting pieces and screws simplifies the installation process of the heating tube and facilitates inspection and maintenance by operators when needed.

[0025] A further improvement: The housing is provided with handles at both ends, and the handles are fixed to the housing with screws.

[0026] Based on the above technical solution, the handle design makes the oven more convenient to move or transport. Operators can easily grip the handle and move the oven from one location to another. The handle is securely fixed to the housing with screws, avoiding the risk of it loosening or falling off during transport, thus reducing the difficulty of handling.

[0027] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0028] This invention utilizes an oil drain hole on the cooking plate and an oil collection box located directly below it to ensure the smooth drainage of grease produced during cooking, preventing grease buildup on the plate. Because the grease is promptly collected in the collection box, the surface of the cooking plate remains relatively clean, reducing cleaning difficulty and frequency, and improving cleaning efficiency. The absence of grease buildup on the cooking plate prevents food from being contaminated during cooking, preserving its original flavor and texture. A clean cooking plate helps to heat food evenly, preventing localized overheating or burning caused by grease buildup, thus improving food quality. Timely grease drainage reduces the possibility of grease buildup inside the oven, lowering the risk of fire caused by overheated grease. Operators do not need to frequently clean accumulated grease, reducing the risk of burns from contact with hot grease.

[0029] The tool storage box provides users with a convenient storage space for various tools needed during cooking, such as roasting forks and brushes. This helps keep the kitchen tidy and organized, reducing tool loss and damage. The plug-in design makes the tool storage box easy to install and remove, allowing users to take out or put back tools as needed, improving the flexibility and convenience of cooking.
