Figure 3As shown, when the holding section 131 is in the handle position, the holding section 131 is located above the water tank 120 to facilitate lifting the water tank 120, for example, when the water tank 120 needs to be filled with water or cleaned, the holding piece 130 serves as a handle of the water tank 120, facilitating the user to take the water tank 120. In combination Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, when the holding section 131 is in the handle position, the holding section 131 is located on the side of the outer plate 110 away from the inner end face 111, i.e. the outer side of the door body 100, to facilitate pulling the door body 100, when the door body 100 needs to be opened or closed, the holding piece 130 serves as a handle of the door body 100, facilitating the user to open or close the door. The holding piece 130 can serve as a handle for lifting the water tank 120 and also as a handle for pulling the door body 100, increasing the function of a single component.

[0033] The door body 100 provided in the above scheme integrates the water tank 120 in the door body 100 by arranging the water tank 120 on the inner end face 111 of the outer plate 110 facing the inner container, improving the proportion of the cooking cavity in the internal space of the cooking equipment and improving the utilization rate of the cooking space, thereby increasing the volume of the cooking equipment. The holding piece 130 is rotatably connected to the water tank 120, so that the holding piece 130 can serve as a handle for lifting the water tank 120 and also as a handle for pulling the door body 100, increasing the function of a single component, simplifying the structure of the door body 100 and reducing the production cost of the door body 100.

[0034] As shown in one of the embodiments, Figure 2 The outer plate 110 includes side end faces 112 that are connected to the inner end face 111 and arranged at an angle, and the two side walls 121 are located at the two ends of the water tank 120 along the extension direction of the holding section 131, i.e. the width direction of the door body 100, and the connecting sections 132 are rotatably connected to the side walls 121. In this embodiment, the two connecting sections 132 are rotatably connected to the two side walls 121 at the two ends of the water tank 120, so that when the holding piece 130 is used as a handle, the water tank 120 is more evenly stressed, and when the holding piece 130 is used as a handle, the door body 100 is more evenly stressed.

[0035] As shown in one of the embodiments, Figure 2 The outer plate 110 includes side end faces 112 that are connected to the inner end face 111 and arranged at an angle, and the two side walls 121 are located at the two ends of the water tank 120 along the extension direction of the holding section 131, i.e. the width direction of the door body 100, and the connecting sections 132 are rotatably connected to the side walls 121. In this embodiment, the two connecting sections 132 are rotatably connected to the two side walls 121 at the two ends of the water tank 120, so that when the holding piece 130 is used as a handle, the water tank 120 is more evenly stressed, and when the holding piece 130 is used as a handle, the door body 100 is more evenly stressed.

[0036] As shown in one of the embodiments, Figures 2 to 4As shown, in one embodiment, the side wall 121 is provided with a connecting post 122, and the connecting section 132 is provided with a connecting hole 133 corresponding to the connecting post 122. The connecting post 122 is at least partially inserted into the connecting hole 133 so that the connecting section 132 is rotatably connected to the water tank 120, so that the grip 130 can rotate relative to the water tank 120.

[0037] like Figures 2 to 4 As shown, in one embodiment, the connection hole 133 is an oblong hole extending toward or away from the grip section 131. The connection hole 133 is slidably disposed along the connection hole 133 to make the rotation of the grip 130 more flexible.

[0038] like Figure 3 As shown, in one embodiment, when the grip section 131 is in the handle position, as Figure 2 As shown, the connecting hole 133 has a top groove wall 1331 and a bottom groove wall 1332 at its two ends along the extending direction of the connecting hole 133. That is, the top groove wall 1331 and the bottom groove wall 1332 are located at the two ends of the connecting hole 133 in the height direction when the grip section 131 is in the handle position, wherein the top groove wall 1331 is located at the top of the connecting hole 133, and the bottom groove wall 1332 is located at the bottom of the connecting hole 133. Figure 3 As shown, when the connecting hole 133 abuts against the bottom groove wall 1332, the height of the grip section 131 is higher than the height of the outer plate 110 so that it can rotate to the handle position, so that the grip section 131 can rotate around the top of the outer plate 110 to the handle position.

[0039] like Figure 4 As shown, in one embodiment, when the connecting hole 133 abuts against the top groove wall 1331, the height of the grip section 131 is lower than the height of the outer plate 110. When the grip section 131 is not used as a handle, the outer plate 110 can cover the grip section 131, so that the grip section 131 is hidden inside the door body 100, thereby making the appearance more beautiful and also solving the safety risk of users bumping into the door handle.

[0040] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined in any way. For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

[0041] The above embodiments only express several implementation ways of the present application, and the description is relatively specific and detailed, but it should not be understood as a limitation to the patent scope of the application. It should be pointed out that for ordinary skilled persons in the art, several modifications and improvements can be made without departing from the concept of the present application, which all belong to the protection scope of the present application. Therefore, the protection scope of the patent of the present application should be subject to the appended claims.
