[0040] Exemplary embodiments of this application will now be described in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. While exemplary embodiments of this application are shown in the drawings, it should be understood that this application may be implemented in various forms and should not be limited to the embodiments set forth herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided to enable a more thorough understanding of this application and to fully convey the scope of this application to those skilled in the art.
[0041] It should be understood that the terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular exemplary embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting. Unless the context clearly indicates otherwise, the singular forms “a,” “an,” and “described” as used herein may also include the plural forms. The terms “comprising,” “including,” “containing,” and “having” are inclusive and therefore indicate the presence of the stated features, steps, operations, elements, and / or components, but do not exclude the presence or addition of one or more other features, steps, operations, elements, components, and / or combinations thereof. The method steps, processes, and operations described herein are not construed as requiring them to be performed in a particular order described or illustrated unless the order of performance is explicitly indicated. It should also be understood that additional or alternative steps may be used.
[0042] Although terms such as first, second, third, etc., may be used in this document to describe multiple elements, components, regions, layers, and / or segments, these elements, components, regions, layers, and / or segments should not be limited by these terms. These terms may be used only to distinguish one element, component, region, layer, or segment from another. Unless the context clearly indicates otherwise, terms such as "first," "second," and other numerical terms used herein do not imply order or sequence. Therefore, the first element, component, region, layer, or segment discussed below may be referred to as the second element, component, region, layer, or segment without departing from the teachings of the exemplary embodiments.
[0043] For ease of description, spatial relative terms may be used in the text to describe the relationship of one element or feature relative to another element or feature, as shown in the figure. These relative terms include, for example, "inside," "outside," "middle," "outer," "below," "below," "above," "over," etc. Such spatial relative terms are intended to include different orientations of the device in use or operation, other than those depicted in the figure. For example, if the device in the figure is flipped, an element described as "below other elements or features" or "below other elements or features" would subsequently be oriented "above other elements or features" or "above other elements or features." Therefore, the example term "below" can include both upper and lower orientations.
[0044] Currently, cooking appliances with baking functions, such as ovens, are kitchen appliances that use heat radiation emitted by heating elements to bake food. Food can be placed in the cooking cavity via a rack. However, the surface of the food closer to the heating element heats up faster than the surface further away, resulting in uneven heating of the food. Therefore, to improve the heating effect, the position of the rack within the cooking cavity needs to be adjustable.
[0045] To address the problem of how to easily adjust the position of the grill rack within the cooking cavity, this application proposes a cooking device. According to the cooking device of this application, it is easy to adjust the position of the grill rack within the cooking cavity in the vertical direction, thereby facilitating the adjustment of the position of the food within the cooking cavity in the vertical direction, resulting in more even heating of the food.
[0046] It should be noted that when the user is facing the cooking device, the side of the cooking device facing the user is the front side, the side away from the user is the back side, the side on the user's left hand is the left side, and the side on the user's right hand is the right side.
[0047] For ease of description, the embodiments of this application will only be described using the cooking device 1 for heating the toast 2 as an example.
[0048] Combination Figures 1 to 7 As shown, this application proposes a cooking device 1. In some embodiments of this application, the cooking device 1 includes a housing 10, a cooking cavity assembly 20, and a grill 40. The housing 10 has a receiving cavity inside, and the cooking cavity assembly 20 is disposed in the receiving cavity. The cooking cavity assembly 20 includes a first cavity 201 and a second cavity 202. The first cavity 201 and the second cavity 202 together form a cooking cavity 21. The top of the second cavity 202 is provided with a dispensing port 2021 that communicates with the cooking cavity 21. The first cavity 201 is configured to move relative to the second cavity 202 and is used to open or close the dispensing port 2021. The second cavity 202 includes a plurality of support plates. At least two of the support plates that are arranged opposite each other are provided with mounting grooves 221, and the mounting grooves 221 have a plurality of slots spaced apart in the vertical direction. The grill 40 is placed in the second cavity 202 through the dispensing port 2021, and the opposite sides of the grill 40 are configured to be detachably connected to the slots on the two support plates.
[0049] In some embodiments of this application, the outer casing 10 forms the overall appearance structure of the cooking device 1, and an internal receiving cavity is formed therein, in which the cooking cavity assembly 20, circuit board, and other components can be disposed. The cooking cavity assembly 20 includes a first cavity 201 and a second cavity 202 that are movable relative to each other. The first cavity 201 and the second cavity 202 together enclose and form a cooking cavity 21, in which the toast 2 can be placed and heated. The relative movement of the first cavity 201 and the second cavity 202 includes the first cavity 201 and the second cavity 202 being able to rotate relative to each other, or the first cavity 201 and the second cavity 202 being able to separate or abut against each other, thereby opening or closing the cooking cavity 21. Optionally, the first cavity 201 and the second cavity 202 each include a plurality of support plates. The plurality of support plates in the first cavity 201 surround and form a portion of the cooking cavity 21, and the plurality of support plates in the second cavity 202 surround and form another portion of the cooking cavity 21. When the end faces of the first cavity 201 and the second cavity 202 abut against each other, the portions of the cooking cavities 21 of the two are interconnected and together form a complete cooking cavity 21.
[0050] Since the top of the second cavity 202 is provided with a feeding port 2021, the toast 2 can be placed on the grill 40 through the top of the second cavity 202, which makes it easy to observe and adjust the position of the toast 2 in the second cavity 202, and thus makes it easy to adjust the gap between the toast 2 and the inner wall of the cooking cavity 21, so that the toast 2 is in the optimal heating position.
[0051] According to the cooking apparatus 1 of this application, by providing mounting grooves 221 on two opposing support plates, and the mounting grooves 221 having multiple slots spaced apart in the vertical direction, and the opposite sides of the grill 40 being configured to be detachably connected to the slots on the two support plates, the grill 40 can be selectively connected to any slot spaced apart in the vertical direction during the installation process, thereby facilitating the vertical adjustment of the position of the grill 40 in the cooking cavity 21, and further facilitating the vertical adjustment of the position of the toast 2 in the cooking cavity 21, so that the toast 2 is heated more evenly.
[0052] Combination Figures 1 to 4 As shown, in some embodiments of this application, the outer casing 10 includes a first casing 11 and a second casing 12. The first casing 11 and the second casing 12 together enclose a receiving cavity. A first cavity 201 is disposed within and connected to the first casing 11, and a second cavity 202 is disposed within and connected to the second casing 12. The first casing 11 is configured to move relative to the second casing 12 and is used to open or close the receiving cavity. Optionally, the first cavity 201 is connected to the top side plate 111 of the first casing 11, and the second cavity 202 is connected to the bottom side plate 121 of the second casing 12. The top side plate 111 and the bottom side plate 121 are arranged opposite each other in the vertical direction.
[0053] In some embodiments of this application, the relative movement of the first housing 11 and the second housing 12 includes the first housing 11 and the second housing 12 being able to rotate relative to each other, or the first housing 11 and the second housing 12 being able to separate or abut against each other, thereby opening or closing the receiving cavity. Optionally, the first housing 11 and the second housing 12 each have a partial receiving cavity formed inside, and when their end faces abut against each other, their respective partial receiving cavities are interconnected and together form a complete receiving cavity.
[0054] Since the first cavity 201 is located inside and connected to the first housing 11, and the second cavity 202 is located inside and connected to the second housing 12, when the cooking cavity 21 needs to be opened, the receiving cavity can be opened by operating the first housing 11, and the first cavity 201 moves together with the first housing 11, thereby opening the cooking cavity 21 at the same time as opening the receiving cavity, thus simplifying the operation of opening the cooking cavity 21, so as to place the toast 2 into the cooking cavity 21 or remove the toast 2 from the outside of the cooking cavity 21. Correspondingly, when the user operates the first cavity 201 to close the cooking cavity, the first housing 11 moves together with the first cavity 201, thereby closing the receiving cavity at the same time as closing the cooking cavity 21, thus simplifying the operation of closing the receiving cavity.
[0055] In some other embodiments of this application, the first cavity 201 may be disposed within the first housing 11 but not connected to the first housing 11. In specific operation, the receiving cavity may be opened first through the first housing 11, and then the cooking cavity 21 may be opened by operating the first cavity 201; or, the cooking cavity 21 may be closed first by operating the first cavity 201, and then the receiving cavity may be closed by operating the first housing 11.
[0056] In some embodiments of this application, the first cavity 201 and the second cavity 202 are movable relative to each other to open or close the cooking cavity 21. Therefore, it is unnecessary to provide an open end on the cooking cavity assembly 20 that communicates with the cooking cavity 21, thereby improving the sealing performance of the cooking cavity 21, reducing heat loss in the cooking cavity 21, and thus improving the heating efficiency of the cooking device 1. Optionally, to improve the sealing performance between the first cavity 201 and the second cavity 202, the end of the second cavity 202 facing the first cavity 201 is provided with a plurality of second flanges 29, and the end of the first cavity 201 facing the second cavity 202 is provided with a plurality of first flanges. The first cavity 201 and the second cavity 202 abut against each other through the first flanges and the second flanges 29.
[0057] Since in some embodiments of this application, the first housing 11 and the second housing 12 can move relative to each other to open or close the receiving cavity, there is no need to provide an oven door on the outer casing 10 for opening or closing the receiving cavity, thereby improving the sealing performance of the cooking device 1.
[0058] Combination Figures 1 to 4 As shown, in some embodiments of this application, the first housing 11 is provided with a first rotating part 131 on the side away from the receiving cavity, and the second housing 12 is provided with a second rotating part 132 on the side away from the receiving cavity. The first rotating part 131 and the second rotating part 132 are connected in a pivotable manner.
[0059] In some embodiments of this application, the first housing 11 and the second housing 12 are pivotally connected, so that the receiving cavity can be opened or closed by rotating the first housing 11, thereby facilitating user operation. Optionally, the rear end of the first housing 11 is provided with a first rotating part 131, and the rear end of the second housing 12 is provided with a second rotating part 132, and the first rotating part 131 and the second rotating part 132 are pivotally connected. Specifically, the first rotating part 131 and the second rotating part 132 can be inserted into each other and are respectively provided with matching rotating structures. Alternatively, the first rotating part 131 and the second rotating part 132 can be inserted into each other and connected by a rotating shaft or bolts, thereby realizing the pivotal connection of the first rotating part 131 and the second rotating part 132.
[0060] Optionally, the first housing 11 is a plastic housing, and the first rotating part 131 is an integral structure with the first housing 11; and / or, the second housing 12 is a plastic housing, and the second rotating part 132 is an integral structure with the second housing 12.
[0061] By setting the first housing 11 as a plastic housing, which is easy to injection mold into various shapes, it is convenient to integrally injection mold the first rotating part 131 with the first housing 11. By setting the second housing 12 as a plastic housing, which is easy to injection mold into various shapes, it is convenient to integrally injection mold the second rotating part 132 with the second housing 12.
[0062] In some embodiments of this application, the first housing 11 may also be a metal housing. In this case, the first rotating part 131 can be manufactured separately and then connected to the first housing 11 after completion. The second housing 12 may also be a metal housing. In this case, the second rotating part 132 can be manufactured separately and then connected to the second housing 12 after completion.
[0063] Combination Figures 1 to 4 As shown, in some embodiments of this application, the cooking device 1 further includes a handle 14, which is connected to the first housing 11, thereby facilitating the rotation of the first housing 11 by means of the handle 14.
[0064] Combination Figures 1 to 5 As shown, in some embodiments of this application, the first cavity 201 and the second cavity 202 each include a plurality of support plates, and are respectively arranged to form a portion of the cooking cavity 21 by the plurality of support plates.
[0065] Optionally, the second cavity 202 includes a second front support plate 25, a first transition support plate 27, a bottom support plate 24, a second transition support plate 28, and a second rear support plate 26 connected in sequence. The second cavity 202 also includes a second left support plate 22 and a second right support plate 23. The second left support plate 22 and the second right support plate 23 are respectively disposed on opposite left and right sides of the second cavity 202. The second left support plate 22 is connected to one side of the second front support plate 25, the first transition support plate 27, the bottom support plate 24, the second transition support plate 28, and the second rear support plate 26. The second right support plate 23 is connected to the other side of the second front support plate 25, the first transition support plate 27, the bottom support plate 24, the second transition support plate 28, the second rear support plate 26, the second left support plate 22, and the second right support plate 23 together form a portion of the cooking cavity 21. The first transition support plate 27 is angled to the second front support plate 25 and the bottom support plate 24, with the angle ranging from greater than 90° to less than 180°. This increases the number of reflective surfaces on the inner wall of the cooking cavity 21, adjusts the range of the reflection angle after the heat in the cooking cavity 21 contacts the inner wall, and thus allows the reflected heat to act on the toast 2 inside the cooking cavity at different angles, improving the heating effect and efficiency of the toast 2. Optionally, the second transition support plate 28 is angled to the second rear support plate 26 and the bottom support plate 24, with the angle ranging from greater than 90° to less than 180°. This also increases the number of reflective surfaces on the inner wall of the cooking cavity 21, adjusts the range of the reflection angle after the heat in the cooking cavity 21 contacts the inner wall, and thus allows the reflected heat to act on the toast 2 inside the cooking cavity at different angles, improving the heating effect and efficiency of the toast 2. Optionally, the first cavity 201 and the second cavity 202 can be symmetrical or asymmetrical.
[0066] By setting a first transition support plate 27 and a second transition support plate 28 in the second cavity 202, the number of reflective surfaces on the inner wall of the cooking cavity 21 can be increased, and the range of the reflection angle after the heat in the cooking cavity 21 comes into contact with the inner wall of the cooking cavity 21 can be adjusted. In this way, the reflected heat can be applied to the toast 2 in the cooking cavity 21 at different angles, thereby improving the heating effect and heating efficiency of the toast 2.
[0067] Optionally, the second left support plate 22 and the second right support plate 23 are respectively provided with mounting grooves 221, and the grill 40 is connected to the mounting grooves 221 on the second left support plate 22 and the second right support plate 23 on both sides along the left and right directions.
[0068] In some embodiments of this application, a heat-reflecting structure (not shown in the figure) can be provided on the inner wall surface of at least one support plate of the cooking cavity 21, and a reflective surface can be formed by the heat-reflecting structure, which includes mirror metal or a heat-reflecting coating. When heat comes into contact with the reflective part, the mirror metal or heat-reflecting coating can reflect the heat, so that some of the heat can change its angle after contacting the heat-reflecting structure and flow back into the interior of the cooking cavity 21, thereby improving the temperature uniformity at different locations in the cooking cavity 21, and thus making the toast 2 in the cooking cavity 21 heated evenly, improving the cooking effect; at the same time, the reflective part can also reduce the heat loss in the cooking cavity 21 caused by heat passing through the support plate, thereby rapidly increasing the temperature rise in the cooking cavity 21, and thus improving the cooking efficiency. Among them, the mirror metal can be mirror aluminum or mirror stainless steel, and the heat-reflecting coating can be an infrared heat-reflecting coating.
[0069] Combination Figures 1 to 7 As shown, in some embodiments of this application, the grill 40 includes multiple support rods 41. A portion of the support rods 41 extend along the front-rear direction of the cooking device 1 and are spaced apart along the left-right direction of the cooking device 1. Another portion of the support rods 41 extend along the left-right direction of the cooking device 1 and are spaced apart along the front-rear direction of the cooking device 1. Thus, the multiple support rods 41 together form a mesh structure to support the toast 2. The ends of a portion of the support rods 41 are inserted into the mounting groove 221, thereby installing the grill 40 inside the second cavity 202. Because the mesh structure has multiple through holes, heat from the cooking cavity 21 can pass through the through holes of the mesh structure and heat the bottom of the toast 2, improving the heating effect of the toast 2.
[0070] Combination Figures 1 to 7 As shown, in some embodiments of this application, the mounting groove 221 penetrates the support plate in a direction perpendicular to the surface of the support plate.
[0071] For ease of description, this application will only use the mounting groove 221 on the second left support plate 22 as an example.
[0072] By providing a mounting groove 221 that extends through the second left support plate 22 in a direction perpendicular to its surface, a portion of the grill 40, such as the end of the support rod 41, can be inserted into the mounting groove 221, thereby enabling the grill 40 to be installed within the second cavity 202. Compared to having a mounting structure protruding from the inner wall of the cooking cavity 21 for fixing the grill 40, this reduces the space occupied by the mounting structure within the cooking cavity 21, increasing the usable space within the cooking cavity 21. Optionally, a portion of the second flange 29 also has a mounting groove 221 extending vertically, facilitating the insertion of the edge of the grill 40 into the mounting groove 221 from top to bottom. Optionally, the maximum dimension of the grill 40 in the left-right direction is L, i.e., the maximum dimension of the support rod 41 in the axial direction is L. The dimension of the inner wall of the second cavity 202 in the left-right direction is L1, i.e., the interval between the second left support plate 22 and the second right support plate 23 is L1. The maximum spacing dimension of the mounting grooves 221 on the second flanges 29 on the left and right sides of the second cavity 202 is L2, where L is greater than L1 and less than L2, so that the edge of the grill 40 can be inserted into the mounting groove 221 from top to bottom.
[0073] Combination Figures 1 to 7 As shown, in some embodiments of this application, the mounting slot 221 includes a first slot segment 2211 and a plurality of second slot segments 2212 that are connected to each other. The extension direction of the first slot segment 2211 is set at an angle to the horizontal direction. The plurality of second slot segments 2212 are spaced apart along the vertical direction, and the extension direction of any second slot segment 2212 is set at an angle to the extension direction of the first slot segment 2211. The grill 40 is configured to pass through the first slot segment 2211 and the second slot segment 2212 in sequence and be inserted into the second cavity 202.
[0074] In some embodiments of this application, multiple second slot segments 2212 are spaced apart vertically, so that parts of the grill 40, such as the end of the support rod 41, can be inserted into any one of the second slot segments 2212 through the first slot segment 2211, thereby adjusting the position of the grill 40 within the second cavity 202 vertically. Optionally, the extension direction of any second slot segment 2212 is set at an angle greater than or equal to 90° and less than 180° with the extension direction of the first slot segment 2211, thereby ensuring that the grill 40, after being inserted into the second slot segment 2212, will not automatically fall and detach from the second slot segment 2212 under its own weight. Optionally, the first slot segment 2211 extends vertically, and the second slot segment 2212 extends horizontally and is set at a 90° angle with the first slot segment 2211.
[0075] Combination Figures 1 to 7 As shown, in some embodiments of this application, the top of the first groove segment 2211 extends through the top of the support plate where the first groove segment 2211 is located.
[0076] In some embodiments of this application, the top of the first slot 2211 extends through the top of the second left support plate 22, thereby facilitating the insertion of some structures of the grill 40, such as the end of the support rod 41, downward along the top of the second left support plate 22 into the first slot 2211, and into any second slot 2212 according to the vertical position requirements.
[0077] Combination Figures 1 to 7 As shown, in some embodiments of this application, the bottom of the second groove segment 2212 is provided with a groove 2213.
[0078] Optionally, the groove 2213 at the bottom of the second groove segment 2212 can be a square groove or an arc groove, which facilitates the positioning of some structures of the grill 40, such as the end of the support rod 41, and reduces the likelihood of the support rod 41 detaching from the second groove segment 2212 without external force.
[0079] Combination Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, in some embodiments of this application, a number of support rods 41 that are inserted into the mounting groove 221 have downwardly bent hook portions 42 at their ends. The hook portions 42 pass through the mounting groove 221 and are located outside the cooking cavity 21.
[0080] In some embodiments of this application, a number of support rods 41 are bent downward at both ends in the left-right direction to form hook-up portions 42, thereby forming hook-up structures at both ends of the support rods 41. The hook-up portions 42 can pass through the mounting groove 221 and extend to the outside of the cooking cavity 21, and can abut against the outer wall of the cooking cavity 21, thereby reducing the movement of the support rods 41 in the left-right direction and preventing them from disengaging from the mounting groove 221.
[0081] Combination Figures 1 to 5 As shown, in some embodiments of this application, the cooking device further includes a heating element 30, at least a portion of which is disposed in the cooking cavity 21 and used to heat the toast 2. Optionally, the first cavity 201 and the second cavity 202 are respectively provided with heating elements 30, and the heating elements 30 of the first cavity 201 and the second cavity 202 are respectively disposed vertically on the upper and lower sides of the grill 40. For ease of description, in the embodiments of this application, only the heating element 30 of the second cavity 202 is described as an example.
[0082] Combination Figures 1 to 5 as well as Figure 9As shown, in some embodiments of this application, the heating assembly 30 includes a heating tube 31 and a mounting cover 32. Part of the heating tube 31 is disposed inside the cooking cavity 21, and another part of the heating tube 31 is disposed outside the cooking cavity 21. The mounting cover 32 is disposed outside the cooking cavity 21 and covers the outside of the other part of the heating tube 31 to reduce the temperature rise outside the cooking cavity 21 caused by the heat emitted by the heating tube 31.
[0083] Optionally, the heating element 31 includes a tube body 311 and a heating element 312 disposed within the tube body 311. Heat emitted by the heating element 312 can pass through the tube body 311 and flow into the cooking cavity 21. Optionally, the tube body 311 can be transparent, such as a glass tube, thereby facilitating the passage of heat emitted by the heating element 312 through the tube body 311 and reducing heat reflection from the inner wall of the cooking cavity 21 and subsequent blockage by the tube body 311. The heating element 312 can be a graphene heating element, which has good heating efficiency. In some other embodiments of this application, the heating element 312 can also be a metal wire heating element.
[0084] The heating element 312 includes a main body 3121 and connecting parts 3122 disposed at both ends of the main body 3121. The main body 3121 is disposed inside the cooking cavity 21 and forms a first part 3101 with a portion of the tube 311. The connecting parts 3122 located at both ends of the main body 3121 are respectively disposed outside the cooking cavity 21 and form a second part 3102 with another portion of the tube 311.
[0085] Figure 9 The portion within the L3 section is the main body 3121 of the heating element 312. Compared to the connecting portion 3122, the main body 3121 has a stronger heat dissipation capacity. Therefore, during actual installation, the first part 3101, including the main body 3121, can be placed inside the cooking cavity 21 to quickly raise the temperature inside the cooking cavity 21, while the second part 3102, consisting of the connecting portion 3122, is placed outside the cooking cavity 21 to install and fix the heating tube 31, and to facilitate the connection between the connecting portion 3122 and the conductive wire 314. Furthermore, since the heat dissipation capacities of the main body 3121 and the connecting portion 3122 are inconsistent, placing the main body 3121 inside the cooking cavity 21 and the connecting portion 3122 outside the cooking cavity 21 can improve the temperature uniformity at various locations within the cooking cavity 21, reducing temperature inconsistencies caused by differences in heat dissipation capacity.
[0086] In some embodiments of this application, the second left support plate 22 and the second right support plate 23 are respectively provided with first mounting holes 222. The two ends of the heating tube 31 in the axial direction pass through the first mounting holes 222 and extend to the outside of the cooking cavity 21. The heating tube 31 also includes mounting heads 313 at both ends of the tube body 311 in the axial direction. The mounting heads 313 can be connected to the mounting cover 32, thereby covering the outside of the second part 3102 with the mounting cover 32 to reduce the temperature rise outside the cooking cavity 21 caused by the heat emitted by the second part 3102.
[0087] In some embodiments of this application, the first housing 11 further includes a first left side plate 112 and a first right side plate 113, and the second housing 12 further includes a second left side plate 122 and a second right side plate 123. The left and right sides of the first cavity 201 are spaced apart from the first left side plate 112 and the first right side plate 113, respectively, forming a space between them, so that the mounting cover 32 of the heating assembly 30 of the first cavity 201 can be disposed within the space between them. The left and right sides of the second cavity 202 are spaced apart from the second left side plate 122 and the second right side plate 123, respectively, forming a space between them, so that the mounting cover 32 of the heating assembly 30 of the second cavity 202 can be disposed within the space between them.
[0088] In some embodiments of this application, the heating tube 31 further includes a conductive wire 314 and a connecting tube 315. Part of the conductive wire 314 can pass through the mounting head 313 and be electrically connected to the heating element 312 through the connecting tube 315, so that an external power source can supply power to the heating element 312 through the conductive wire 314 to enable the heating element 312 to work and release heat.
[0089] Combination Figures 1 to 5 As shown, in some embodiments of this application, the cooking device 1 further includes a control box assembly 50, which is located at the front end of the second housing 12 and connected to the second housing 12.
