Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of kitchen utensils, in particular to a cooking device. BACKGROUND

[0002] The cooking device such as a steamer, an oven and a steaming and baking all-in-one machine is popular because it can provide a healthy and convenient cooking experience for a family. The door body of the cooking device is designed with various door opening modes, for example, a downward-pulling door opening mode, an upward-turning door opening mode, a push-pull door opening mode and a double-door opening mode. For the downward-pulling door opening mode, the door is pulled downward from the top and does not occupy the space on the side of the cooking device. After the door is opened, it will be stably located at the maximum opening position under the action of gravity and is not easy to be accidentally closed, so it is widely used.

[0003] The door body with the downward-pulling door opening mode is called a downward-pulling door. The maximum opening angle of the downward-pulling door is usually between 70° and 90°. This angle range can ensure that the door does not interfere with the objects below or the use space when it is fully opened, and also facilitates the operation and the taking out of the internal objects. However, some users want to place the above-mentioned cooking device at a higher position. In order to facilitate these users to take and place food, the distance between the person and the inner container (when cooking, food is placed in the inner container of the cooking device) needs to be shortened. Therefore, the maximum opening angle of the downward-pulling door needs to be greater than 90°. However, when the opening angle is greater than 90°, the lower part of the downward-pulling door is located above the upper part of the downward-pulling door. The condensed water generated during the cooking process and attached to the inner side of the downward-pulling door will flow from the lower part of the downward-pulling door to the upper part of the downward-pulling door under the action of gravity, and finally drip from the edge of the upper part of the downward-pulling door to the ground, resulting in the need for the user to clean the ground. CONTENT OF THE UTILITY MODEL

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a cooking device to solve the above-mentioned problems. In the case that the cooking device is placed at a higher position, the user can still conveniently take and place food, and the condensed water can be prevented from dripping to the ground, avoiding the need for the user to clean the ground.

[0005] In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the technical solutions of the present application are as follows:

[0006] A cooking device, the cooking device comprising a box body and a downward-pulling door, the box body being provided with an inner container, the inner container having an opening; the downward-pulling door comprising:

[0007] a door frame rotatably connected to the lower part of the box body, so that the downward-pulling door can open and close the opening, the axial direction of the rotation axis of the door frame relative to the box body being along the length direction of the box body, and the maximum angle through which the door frame can rotate relative to the box body being greater than 90°;

[0008] an inner glass plate arranged in the door frame, the inner glass plate having a first side and a second side arranged oppositely;

[0009] an outer glass plate installed in the door frame and spaced apart from the inner glass plate; and

The first connecting part 241 is fixedly arranged on the first side 221, and the water blocking part 242 extends from the first connecting part 241 in a direction away from the outer glass plate 23 and close to the second side 222. In the closed state of the drop-down door 2, the first side 221 is directly above the second side 222, and the side of the inner glass plate 22 away from the outer glass plate 23 is all below the water blocking member 24. In this way, after the drop-down door 2 is fully opened, the condensed water flowing to the water blocking member 24 will be blocked by the water blocking member 24 and will not drip to the ground, which can avoid the need for the user to clean the ground.

[0051] Exemplarily, the cooking device is a steamer / oven / steam oven all-in-one.

[0052] Referring to Figure 4 , the side of the water blocking part 242 facing the inner glass panel 22 is a third side 2421, which is in a one-way curved surface shape and curves towards the inner glass panel 22. In this way, the third side 2421 can block the condensed water remaining near the water blocking part 24 during the door closing process.

[0053] Preferably, referring to Figure 4 , the curvature of the third side 2421 increases with the distance from the first connecting part 241. This is conducive to the third side 2421 blocking the condensed water remaining near the water blocking part 24 during the door closing process.

[0054] Preferably, referring to Figure 1 and Figure 4 , the first connecting part 241 is a flexible part, and the first connecting part 241 is clamped between the inner glass panel 22 and the door frame 21. In this way, the first connecting part 241 can well fill the gap between the inner glass panel 22 and the door frame 21, providing good sealing performance and preventing condensed water from flowing into the bottom-hinged door 2.

[0055] Preferably, the first connecting part 241 is a rubber part. In other embodiments, the first connecting part 241 can also be a silica gel part.
