Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of electrical technology, and in particular to oil stain detection devices and 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 the cooking process, 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 the back of the baffle. Since the baffle is typically fixed to the inner liner, only the air inlets and outlets offer visibility of its interior. This prevents users from promptly noticing oil buildup on the back of the baffle and thus hinders timely cleaning. Over time, this accumulated oil can cause unpleasant odors within the cooking appliance's inner liner. Utility Model Content

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to provide an oil stain detection device and cooking equipment to address the problem that oil stains on the back of the hot air blower baffle in existing cooking equipment are difficult to observe.

[0005] An oil stain detection device includes a baffle, an external temperature detection element, a heat-conducting dirt-collecting element, and an internal temperature detection element. The baffle includes an outer end face and an inner end face disposed opposite to each other. The external temperature detection element is connected to the outer end face and is used to detect the temperature of the outer end face. The heat-conducting dirt-collecting element is connected to the baffle and at least partially protrudes from the inner end face. The heat-conducting dirt-collecting element is used for heat conduction and is configured such that its surface can adsorb oil stains, and the oil stains on the surface of the heat-conducting dirt-collecting element interfere with its thermal conductivity. The internal temperature detection element is connected to the end of the heat-conducting dirt-collecting element away from the inner end face and is used to detect the temperature of the end of the heat-conducting dirt-collecting element away from the inner end face.

[0006] In one embodiment, the thermally conductive contaminant is made of a porous material.

[0007] In one embodiment, the inner end face is recessed with a placement hole, and the heat-conducting contaminant is at least partially embedded in the placement hole.

[0008] In one embodiment, the external temperature sensor is located at the placement hole, and the external temperature sensor and the internal temperature sensor are arranged opposite to each other.

[0009] In one embodiment, the placement hole penetrates the baffle in a direction perpendicular to the inner end face, and the heat-conducting contaminant is sandwiched between the external temperature detection element and the internal temperature detection element.

[0010] In one embodiment, the oil stain detection device further includes a back plate located on the side of the baffle away from the external temperature detection element, and the back plate and the baffle together enclose a hot air cavity containing oil stains, and the heat-conducting contaminant is at least partially located within the hot air cavity.

[0011] A cooking device includes an oil stain detection device as described in any of the above embodiments, and also includes an inner pot. A baffle is connected to the inner pot. The inner pot is hollow inside to form a cooking cavity with an open front end, together with the baffle. The baffle is located on the side of the cooking cavity away from the open end, and the external temperature detection element is located on the side of the baffle facing the cooking cavity.

[0012] In one embodiment, the baffle is rotatably disposed relative to the inner liner between a working position and a cleaning position, and when the baffle is in the working position, the outer end face faces the opening and is parallel to the plane where the opening is located; when the baffle is in the cleaning position, the inner end face is disposed at an angle to the plane where the opening is located.

[0013] In one embodiment, the baffle rotates at an angle of not less than 90° between the working position and the cleaning position.

[0014] In one embodiment, the cooking device further includes a flipping assembly connected to the inner pot and the baffle, which is used to drive the baffle to rotate relative to the inner pot between a working position and a cleaning position.

[0015] The oil stain detection device provided in the above solution uses a heat-conducting dirt-accumulating component located on the back of the baffle. An external temperature sensor and an internal temperature sensor are connected to opposite ends of the heat-conducting dirt-accumulating component. When the heat-conducting dirt-accumulating component absorbs a large amount of oil, the temperatures monitored by the internal and external temperature sensors will differ significantly. The thermal conductivity of the heat-conducting dirt-accumulating component is determined by the temperature difference between the two sensors, which in turn determines the amount of oil adsorbed by the component. This allows for the inference of the oil stain content within the space containing the heat-conducting dirt-accumulating component. This achieves the effect of inferring the oil stain content within the space behind the baffle by monitoring the temperature difference between the internal and external temperature sensors, solving the problem of unobservable oil stains on the back of the baffle and providing an automatic reminder for the user to clean the back of the baffle.

[0030] See Figure 1 , Figure 1 This diagram illustrates the structure of a cooking device 100 according to one embodiment of this application. The cooking device 100 provided in this embodiment can be an oven, a steam oven, or any existing device with cooking functions. The cooking device 100 includes an oil stain detection device 110 as described in any of the following embodiments, and also includes an inner liner 120. A baffle 111 in the oil stain detection device 110 is connected to the inner liner 120. The inner liner 120 is hollow inside, forming a cooking cavity 121 with an open front end, together with the baffle 111, for cooking food. Figure 1 As shown, the baffle 111 is located on the side of the cooking cavity 121 away from the opening.

[0031] Combination Figure 2 As shown, Figure 2 An exploded view of an oil stain detection device 110 according to an embodiment of this application is shown. The oil stain detection device 110 provided in this embodiment is used to detect oil stain content as a basis for determining whether oil stain cleaning is necessary. Figure 2 As shown, the oil stain detection device 110 includes a baffle 111, an external temperature detection element 112, a heat-conducting dirt accumulation element 113, and an internal temperature detection element 114.

[0032] like Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, the baffle 111 includes an outer end face 1111 and an inner end face 1112 disposed opposite to each other. An external temperature sensing element 112 is connected to the outer end face 1111 and is used to detect the temperature of the outer end face 1111. A heat-conducting contaminant 113 is connected to the baffle 111 and at least partially protrudes from the inner end face 1112. The heat-conducting contaminant 113 is used for heat conduction and is configured such that its surface can adsorb oil contaminants, and the oil contaminants on the surface of the heat-conducting contaminant 113 interfere with the heat conduction performance of the contaminant. An internal temperature sensing element 114 is connected to the end of the heat-conducting contaminant 113 away from the inner end face 1112 and is used to detect the temperature of the end of the heat-conducting contaminant 113 away from the inner end face 1112. When the heat-conducting contaminant 113 absorbs a large amount of oil, the temperatures monitored by the internal temperature sensor 114 and the external temperature sensor 112 will differ significantly. Therefore, the thermal conductivity of the heat-conducting contaminant 113 can be determined by the temperature difference between the two sensors, which in turn determines the amount of oil absorbed by the heat-conducting contaminant 113. This allows for the inference of the oil content within the space containing the heat-conducting contaminant 113. This achieves the effect of inferring the oil content on the back of the baffle 111 by monitoring the temperature difference between the internal and external temperature sensors 114 and 112, solving the problem of unobservable oil stains on the back of the baffle 111 and providing an automatic reminder to the user to clean the back of the baffle 111. In practical use, a preset temperature difference value can be set. When the temperature difference monitored by the internal temperature sensor 114 and the external temperature sensor 112 exceeds the preset value, the user is reminded that the back of the baffle 111 needs cleaning.

[0033] In one embodiment, the thermally conductive contaminant 113 is made of a porous material. The pore size and porosity of the porous material both affect its thermal diffusivity. When oil begins to accumulate on the back of the baffle 111, the grease will penetrate into the porous material and fill its pores, causing a decrease in the thermal conductivity of the thermally conductive contaminant 113, resulting in the characteristic that the thermal conductivity of the porous material deteriorates after absorbing oil. In other embodiments, the thermally conductive contaminant 113 can also be made of other materials, such as polymer-carbon composite materials. These materials improve the thermal conductivity, mechanical properties, and processing properties of the composite material by controlling the structure, content, and interfacial interactions of the thermally conductive filler. Oil contamination may affect the distribution of the filler and interfacial interactions, thereby affecting the thermal conductivity.

[0034] like Figure 2 As shown, in one embodiment, the inner end face 1112 is recessed with a placement hole 1113, and the heat-conducting contaminant 113 is at least partially embedded in the placement hole 1113 to define the position of the heat-conducting contaminant 113.

[0035] like Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, in one embodiment, the external temperature detection element 112 is located in the placement hole 1113, and the external temperature detection element 112 and the internal temperature detection element 114 are arranged opposite to each other so that the external temperature detection element 112 and the internal temperature detection element 114 are located in the same position, so as to avoid the interference of the temperature difference naturally existing due to the different positions of the baffle 111 on the judgment of the amount of oil stains adsorbed by the heat-conducting dirt accumulation element 113.

[0036] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in one embodiment, the placement hole 1113 penetrates the baffle 111 in a direction perpendicular to the inner end face 1112, and the heat-conducting contaminant 113 is sandwiched between the outer temperature detection element 112 and the inner temperature detection element 114, so that there is only one heat-conducting element 113 between the outer temperature detection element 112 and the inner temperature detection element 114, thereby avoiding interference from other heat-conducting elements on the temperature difference between the inner temperature detection element 114 and the outer temperature detection element 112.

[0037] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in one embodiment, the oil stain detection device 110 further includes a back plate 115, which is located on the side of the baffle 111 opposite to the external temperature detection element 112. The back plate 115 and the baffle 111 together enclose a hot air cavity 116 containing oil stains. In the cooking device 100, the hot air cavity 116 is used to communicate with the cooking cavity 121 for hot air circulation. Since oil stains are generated during the cooking process of food in the cooking cavity 121, oil stain particles may enter the hot air cavity 116 with the circulating hot air and accumulate in the hot air cavity 116. The heat-conducting contaminant 113 is at least partially located in the hot air cavity 116 to determine the oil stain content in the heat-conducting contaminant 113 by the temperature difference between the external temperature detection element 112 and the internal temperature detection element 114.

[0038] In the oil fume detection device provided in the above solution, when there is no oil on the surface of the heat-conducting contaminant 113, the heat conduction performance of the heat-conducting contaminant 113 is normal, and heat can be effectively transferred. The temperature difference between the outer temperature detection element 112 and the inner temperature detection element 114 located at opposite ends of the heat-conducting contaminant 113 is relatively small. However, when oil begins to accumulate on the back of the baffle 111, the grease will seep into the heat-conducting contaminant 113, causing its heat conduction performance to decrease. At this time, the temperature difference between the outer temperature detection element 112 and the inner temperature detection element 114 located at opposite ends of the heat-conducting contaminant 113 will be significant. This increases the thermal conductivity of the heat-conducting contaminant 113 by measuring the temperature difference between the internal temperature sensor 114 and the external temperature sensor 112, thereby determining the amount of oil adsorbed by the heat-conducting contaminant 113 and inferring the oil content in the space where the heat-conducting contaminant 113 is located. This achieves the effect of inferring the oil content in the space behind the baffle 111 by monitoring the temperature difference between the internal temperature sensor 114 and the external temperature sensor 112, solving the problem that the oil stains on the back of the baffle 111 cannot be observed, and realizing the technical effect of automatically reminding the user to clean the back of the baffle 111.

[0039] Combination Figures 4 to 6 As shown, in one embodiment, the baffle 111 can be positioned relative to the inner liner 120 as follows: Figure 1 and Figure 4 The work location shown and as Figure 5 and Figure 6 The cleaning positions shown are rotatably arranged to facilitate cleaning of the baffle 111 when cleaning is required. For example... Figure 4 and Figure 6 As shown, the baffle 111 includes an outer end face 1111 and an inner end face 1112 disposed opposite to each other. Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, when the baffle 111 is in the working position, its outer end face 1111 faces the opening and is parallel to the plane of the opening. At this time, the baffle 111 separates the hot air chamber 116 and the cooking chamber 121, so that the cooking chamber 121 can be used to cook food, and as... Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the aperture is positioned relative to the light source so that the light beam emitted by the light source can travel along the path shown. Figure 3 The light path shown passes through the aperture to facilitate observation of the amount of light emanating from the aperture. For example... Figure 4 and Figure 6 As shown, when the baffle 111 is in the cleaning position, the inner end face 1112 is set at an angle to the plane where the opening is located, so as to extend from the gap between the inclined baffle 111 and the inner liner 120 to clean the inner end face 1112 of the baffle 111 and the end face of the back plate 115 facing the baffle 111.

[0040] like Figure 6As shown, in one embodiment, the baffle 111 rotates at an angle of not less than 90° between the working position and the cleaning position. At this time, the gap between the baffle 111 and the inner liner 120 is larger, and the inner end face 1112 of the baffle 111 is inclined towards the direction of the opening, so as to facilitate cleaning the inner end face 1112 of the baffle 111, the end face of the back plate 115 facing the baffle 111, and the components inside the hot air chamber 116.

[0041] like Figures 4 to 6 As shown, in one embodiment, the cooking appliance 100 further includes a flipping assembly 130, which is connected to the inner pot 120 and the baffle 111, and is used to drive the baffle 111 relative to the inner pot 120 in a certain direction. Figure 1 and Figure 4 The work location shown and as Figure 5 and Figure 6 Rotate between the cleaning positions shown.

[0042] like Figure 4 and Figure 6 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 111 facing away from the cooking cavity 121. In this embodiment, the base 131 is located inside the hot air cavity 116 and connected to the end face of the back plate 115 facing the baffle 111. Figure 4 and Figure 6 As shown, the two ends of the connecting rod 132 are rotatably connected to the base 131 and the baffle 111, respectively, so that the baffle 111 can be flipped relative to the base 131.

[0043] like Figure 4 and Figure 6 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 1112, 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 111 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 1112. 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 1112 when the baffle 111 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 111 to flip.

[0044] like Figure 4 and Figure 6As 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 111 to flip. Figure 4 and Figure 6 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 116 and installed on the end face of the back plate 115 away from the baffle 111, thereby avoiding the heat, water vapor and oil stains in the hot air cavity 116 from interfering with the drive component 135.

[0045] like Figure 6 As shown, in one embodiment, the fixing rod 134 is arranged in a direction perpendicular to the inner end face 1112, 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 1112.

[0046] like Figure 6 As shown, in one embodiment, the connecting rod 132 is connected to the end of the fixed rod 134 near the baffle 111 to facilitate the installation of the connecting rod 132, avoid the connecting rod 132 from interfering with the inherent structure of the baffle 111 by connecting to the baffle 111, thereby avoiding interference of the flipping mechanism with other functions of the baffle 111 and avoiding increased production costs.

[0047] like Figure 6 As 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 111 flips relative to the inner liner 120, the flipping axis around which it rotates is arranged in the horizontal direction. In other embodiments, the base 131 may also be arranged in 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 111 flips relative to the inner liner 120 is arranged in the height direction.

[0048] like Figure 6 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 111 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 111 to flip.

[0049] 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.

[0050] 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.
