Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of electrical technology, and in particular to cooking equipment. Background Technology

[0002] Cooking equipment such as steam ovens typically utilize radiant heat from electric heating elements to bake food. Depending on the specific needs of the food being baked, the temperature of the baking cooking device can generally be adjusted within the range of 50℃ to 250℃. The back of the inner cavity of a cooking device with a baking function is equipped with a hot air baffle. Heating elements and fan blades are installed on the back of the hot air baffle to create a hot air chamber that circulates with the hot air from the cooking cavity.

[0003] During operation, oil splattering inside the cooking chamber onto the hot air blower baffle. This baffle, equipped with air inlets and outlets for hot air circulation, allows oil to accumulate on its back. Since the baffle is fixed to the inner liner, cleaning its back is difficult. Over time, this accumulated oil can cause unpleasant odors within the cooking appliance's interior. Utility Model Content

[0029] See Figure 1 , Figure 1 The diagram shows a structural schematic of a cooking device 100 according to an embodiment of this application. The cooking device 100 provided in an embodiment of this application can be an oven, a steam oven, or any existing device with cooking function.

[0030] like Figure 1 As shown, the cooking device 100 includes an inner pot 110 and a baffle 120; the inner pot 110 has a cooking cavity 111 with an open front end, the baffle 120 is connected to the inner pot 110, and the baffle 120 is located on the side of the cooking cavity 111 away from the open end and together with the inner pot 110 to form the cooking cavity 111 for cooking food.

[0031] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the baffle 120 can be positioned relative to the inner liner 110 as follows: Figure 1 and Figure 3 The work location shown and as Figure 2 and Figure 4 The baffle 120 is rotatably arranged between the cleaning positions shown to facilitate cleaning of the baffle 120 when cleaning is required. The baffle 120 includes an outer end face 121 and an inner end face 122 disposed opposite to each other, and as shown... Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, when the baffle 120 is in the working position, its outer end face 121 faces the opening and is parallel to the plane of the opening. At this time, the baffle 120 separates the hot air chamber 160 and the cooking chamber 111, so that the cooking chamber 111 can be used to cook food. Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, when the baffle 120 is in the cleaning position, the inner end face 122 is set at an angle to the plane where the opening is located, so as to extend from the gap between the inclined baffle 120 and the inner liner 110 to clean the inner end face 122 of the baffle 120 and the end face of the back plate 140 facing the baffle 120.

[0032] like Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, in one embodiment, the baffle 120 is in such a state as Figure 1 and Figure 3 The work location shown and as Figure 2 and Figure 4 The angle of rotation between the cleaning positions shown is not less than 90°. At this time, the gap between the baffle 120 and the inner liner 110 is larger, and the inner end face 122 of the baffle 120 is tilted towards the direction of the opening, so as to facilitate cleaning the inner end face 122 of the baffle 120, the end face of the back plate 140 facing the baffle 120, and the components inside the hot air chamber 160.

[0033] like Figures 2 to 4 As shown, in one embodiment, the cooking appliance 100 further includes a flipping assembly 130, which is connected to the inner pot 110 and the baffle 120, and is used to drive the baffle 120 relative to the inner pot 110 in a certain direction. Figure 1 and Figure 3 The work location shown and as Figure 2 and Figure 4 Rotate between the cleaning positions shown.

[0034] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, in one embodiment, the flipping assembly 130 includes a base 131 and a connecting rod 132. The base 131 is located on the side of the baffle 120 opposite to the cooking cavity 111. In this embodiment, the base 131 is located inside the hot air cavity 160 and connected to the end face of the back plate 140 facing the baffle 120. Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, the two ends of the connecting rod 132 are rotatably connected to the base 131 and the baffle 120 respectively, so that the baffle 120 can be flipped relative to the base 131.

[0035] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, in one embodiment, the flipping assembly 130 further includes an active rod 133 and a fixed rod 134. The fixed rod 134 is connected to the inner end face 122, and the two ends of the active rod 133 are rotatably connected to the base 131 and the fixed rod 134, respectively. The end of the connecting rod 132 connected to the baffle 120 and the end of the active rod 133 connected to the fixed rod 134 are spaced apart in a direction perpendicular to the inner end face 122. The end of the active rod 133 connected to the base 131 and the end of the connecting rod 132 connected to the base 131 are spaced apart in a direction parallel to the inner end face 122 when the baffle 120 is in the working position, so that the active rod 133, the fixed rod 134, the connecting rod 132 and the base 131 together form a four-bar linkage 132 structure, thereby realizing that when the active rod 133 rotates, it drives the baffle 120 to flip.

[0036] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, in one embodiment, the flipping assembly 130 further includes a drive member 135, which is connected to the drive rod 133 and used to drive the drive rod 133 to rotate relative to the base 131, thereby causing the baffle 120 to flip. Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, in this embodiment, the flipping assembly 130 also includes a conversion component 136, which is used to change the rotation direction of the drive shaft of the drive component 135 to achieve right-angle reversal, so that the drive component 135 can be located outside the hot air cavity 160 and installed on the end face of the back plate 140 away from the baffle 120, thereby avoiding interference from the heat, water vapor and oil in the hot air cavity 160 to the drive component 135.

[0037] like Figure 4 As shown, in one embodiment, the fixing rod 134 is arranged in a direction perpendicular to the inner end face 122, and the connecting rod 132 and the driving rod 133 are respectively connected to the two ends of the fixing rod 134 to facilitate the installation of the connecting rod 132 and the driving rod 133. In other embodiments, the fixing rod 134 may also be inclined relative to the inner end face 122.

[0038] like Figure 4 As shown, in one embodiment, the connecting rod 132 is connected to the end of the fixed rod 134 near the baffle 120 to facilitate the installation of the connecting rod 132, avoid the connecting rod 132 from interfering with the inherent structure of the baffle 120, thereby avoiding interference of the flipping mechanism with other functions of the baffle 120 and avoiding increased production costs.

[0039] like Figure 4As shown, in one embodiment, the base 131 is arranged along the height direction, and the end of the active rod 133 connected to the base 131 and the end of the connecting rod 132 connected to the base 131 are spaced apart in the height direction, so that when the baffle 120 flips relative to the inner liner 110, the flipping axis around which it rotates is arranged in the horizontal direction. In other embodiments, the base 131 may also be arranged along the horizontal direction, in which case the active rod 133 and the connecting rod are spaced apart in the horizontal direction, and the flipping axis around which the baffle 120 rotates relative to the inner liner 110 is arranged in the height direction.

[0040] like Figure 4 As shown, in one embodiment, one end of the connecting rod 132 connected to the base 131 is located above one end of the active rod 133 connected to the base 131, so that the active rod 133 rotates to drive the baffle 120 to flip. In other embodiments, one end of the connecting rod 132 connected to the base 131 may be located below one end of the active rod 133 connected to the base 131, which also enables the active rod 133 to rotate to drive the baffle 120 to flip.

[0041] like Figures 2 to 4 As shown, in one embodiment, the cooking device 100 further includes a back plate 140 and an oil stain detection element 150. The back plate 140 is connected to the side of the baffle 120 facing away from the cooking chamber 111 and together with the baffle 120 forms a hot air chamber 160. The baffle 120 is provided with an air vent to connect the hot air chamber 160 and the cooking chamber 111. The hot air chamber 160 is used to communicate with the cooking chamber 111 for hot air circulation. Since oil stains are generated during the cooking process in the cooking chamber 111, oil stain particles may enter the hot air chamber 160 with the circulating hot air and accumulate in the hot air chamber 160. Figure 2 As shown, the oil stain detection component 150 is located inside the hot air cavity 160 and is used to detect the amount of oil stains accumulated on the surface of the back plate 140 and the baffle 120, so as to determine in time whether the back of the baffle 120 needs to be cleaned.

[0042] In the cooking device 100 provided in the above solution, by setting the baffle 120 to be rotatable relative to the inner pot 110, and setting the inner end face 122 of the baffle 120 at an angle to the plane of the opening when the baffle 120 is in the cleaning position, it is convenient to extend through the gap between the inclined baffle 120 and the inner pot 110 to clean the inner end face 122 of the baffle 120 and the end face of the back plate 140 facing the baffle 120, thereby solving the problem of inconvenient cleaning of the back side of the baffle 120 in the prior art.

[0043] 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.

[0044] The embodiments described above are merely illustrative of several implementation methods of this application, and while the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the patent application. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this application, and these all fall within the protection scope of this application. Therefore, the protection scope of this patent application should be determined by the appended claims.
