The cooking apparatus 100 provided in an embodiment of the present application can be any cooking apparatus having a cooking function, such as an oven, a steam oven, etc., without limitation.

[0030] In combination Figure 2 as shown, Figure 2 A partial structural exploded schematic diagram of the cooking apparatus 100 in an embodiment of the present application is shown. As shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2 The cooking apparatus 100 includes an inner container 110, and further includes a door body (not shown) covering the inner container 110. As shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2 The inner container 110 includes a shell 111 and a cooking cavity 112 having an opening and being provided in the shell 111, the cooking cavity 112 being used for placing and cooking foodstuffs, and the door body covering the shell 111 to cover the opening, so as to jointly enclose the cooking cavity 112 with the shell 111 to form a sealed cooking cavity 112.

[0031] As shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2 The shell 111 includes a top portion 1111 and a lower portion 1112 that are coupled together, and the top portion 1111 and the lower portion 1112 jointly enclose the cooking cavity 112, as shown in Figure 1 and 2 The top portion 1111 is coupled above the lower portion 1112. As shown in Figure 2 At least part of the top portion 1111 and at least part of the lower portion 1112 jointly form a side wall of the cooking cavity 112, that is, the top portion 1111 and the lower portion 1112 are divided into two parts in the height direction, and the height of the division is less than the total height of the side wall.

[0032] As shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2 In an embodiment, the inner container 110 further includes a coupling assembly 113, as shown in Figure 2As shown, the buckling assembly 113 comprises a detachable buckling connector 1131 and a locking member 1132, wherein the connector 1131 is connected to one of the top portion 1111 and the lower portion 1112, and the locking member 1132 is connected to the other one of the top portion 1111 and the lower portion 1112. As shown, Figure 1 In this embodiment, the connector 1131 is connected to the top portion 1111, and the locking member 1132 is connected to the lower portion 1112, and the two are bucklingly connected to lock the top portion 1111 and the lower portion 1112 in the buckling state, so as to avoid the top portion 1111 and the lower portion 1112 from being separated to affect the sealing of the cooking cavity 112.

[0033] As shown, Figure 2 In one embodiment, the locking member 1132 is provided with a locking hole 11321, and the connector 1131 extends towards the direction of the locking hole 11321 to be selectively partially inserted into the locking hole 11321, and the locking member 1132 selectively locks the connector 1131. When the top portion 1111 is buckled to the lower portion 1112, the part of the connector 1131 extending towards the direction of the locking hole 11321 can be inserted into the locking hole 11321, and at this time, the locking member 1132 locks the connector 1131 to avoid the top portion 1111 and the lower portion 1112 from being separated during the operation of the cooking device 100 to affect the cooking effect. When the top portion 1111 is detached from the lower portion 1112, the locking member 1132 needs to contact and lock the connector 1131, and the connector 1131 is extracted from the locking hole 11321. It can be understood that the connection between the locking member 1132 and the connector 1131 can adopt any structure that can achieve selective locking, such as an electromagnetic controlled lock, a mechanical lock applied to a safety belt, etc., without limitation.

[0034] As shown, Figure 3 and Figure 4 In one embodiment, the inner container 110 further comprises a sealing strip 114, which is clamped between the top portion 1111 and the lower portion 1112 when the top portion 1111 and the lower portion 1112 are bucklingly connected, and the sealing strip 114 covers the end face of one of the top portion 1111 and the lower portion 1112 towards the other one of the top portion 1111 and the lower portion 1112, so that the sealing strip 114 completely seals the contact surface of the top portion 1111 and the lower portion 1112 to avoid the existence of a gap between the top portion 1111 and the lower portion 1112 to leak air. Exemplarily, the sealing strip 114 can adopt a strip-shaped rubber, etc.

[0035] In combination with Figure 4 and Figure 4 In one embodiment, as shown, Figure 4As shown, the sealing strip 114 has an upper groove 1141, which is recessed in the end face of the sealing strip 114 facing the top 1111. The top 1111 is at least partially inserted into the upper groove 1141 to avoid air leakage due to gaps between the top 1111 and the sealing strip 114, thereby achieving a better sealing effect.

[0036] like Figure 4 As shown, in one embodiment, the sealing strip 114 has a lower groove 1142, which is recessed in the end face of the sealing strip 114 facing the lower part 1112. The lower part 1112 is at least partially inserted into the lower groove 1142 to avoid air leakage due to gaps between the lower part 1112 and the sealing strip 114, thereby achieving a better sealing effect.

[0037] like Figure 2 As shown, in one embodiment, the top 1111 is provided with an upper bend 1113 at one end near the lower part 1112. The upper bend 1113 is formed by bending the top 1111 near the lower part 1112 in a direction away from the cooking cavity 112. The upper bend 1113 is inserted into the upper groove 1141 and abuts against the bottom of the upper groove 1141 to increase the contact surface between the sealing strip 114 and the top 1111, thereby obtaining a better sealing effect.

[0038] like Figure 5 As shown, in one embodiment, the lower part 1112 is provided with a lower bend 1114 at one end near the top 1111. The lower bend 1114 is formed by bending the lower part 1112 at one end near the top 1111 in a direction away from the cooking cavity 112. The lower bend 1114 is inserted into the lower groove 1142 and abuts against the bottom of the groove 1142 to increase the contact surface between the sealing strip 114 and the top 1111, thereby obtaining a better sealing effect. At the same time, it also increases the contact surface between the top 1111 and the lower part 1112, making the force on the sealing strip 114 more uniform and reducing the risk of breakage of the sealing strip 114.

[0039] like Figure 3 and Figure 3As shown in the drawings, in one embodiment, the cooking device 100 comprises an upper heating element 120 and a coupling assembly 130 detachably connected to the upper heating element 120, the coupling assembly 130 is used to connect an external power supply to supply power to the upper heating element 120 when the coupling assembly 130 is connected to the upper heating element 120.

In the normal working state of the cooking device 100, the coupling assembly 130 remains connected to the upper heating element 120 to supply power to the upper heating element 120, and when the top portion 1111 needs to be disassembled for cleaning the upper heating element 120 and the top portion 1111, the coupling assembly 130 is disassembled, at this time the upper heating element 120 is in a power-off state, thereby avoiding the risk of electric shock during cleaning.

[0040] As shown in the drawings, ​ In one embodiment, the back side of the lower portion 1112 away from the opening of the cooking cavity 112 is provided with a hot air cavity 115, and the inner container 110 comprises a baffle 116, the baffle 116, the back plate of the lower portion 1112 and the side plate connected between the baffle 116 and the back plate jointly form the hot air cavity 115, which is independent of the structure of the top portion 1111 and has no effect on the hot air cavity 115 when the top portion 1111 and the lower portion 1112 are disassembled and assembled to be buckled. The baffle 116 is provided with a through hole 1161 to communicate the hot air cavity 115 and the cooking cavity 112, and a hot air fan is further arranged in the hot air cavity 115 to exchange air flow between the hot air cavity 115 and the cooking cavity 112. As shown in the drawings, ​ The cooking device 100 comprises a back heating element 140 located in the hot air cavity 115, so that when the top portion 1111 is disassembled for cleaning the upper heating element 120 and the top portion 1111, there is no interference with the back heating element 140.

[0041] The cooking device 100 provided in the above scheme realizes the modular disassembly structure of the inner container 110 by splitting the shell 111 of the inner container 110 into the top portion 1111 and the lower portion 1112 which are spliced together, forms an detachable assembly of the upper heating tube located on the top surface of the cooking cavity 112 and the top portion 1111 of the inner container 110, and enables the user to regularly and easily disassemble, thereby solving the problem of difficulty of the user to clean the top surface of the inner container 110 and achieving the effect of fast disassembly and fast cleaning of the user.

[0042] Any combination of the technical features in the above-described embodiments can be made, and for the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations are described, however, it is to be understood that the application embraces all such possible combinations.

[0043] The above-described embodiments only express several implementation manners of the application, and the description is relatively specific and detailed, but it should not be understood as a limitation on the patent scope of the application.
