Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of cooking tool technology, specifically relating to a steak machine with a drawer-style inner pot and a top cover. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, to facilitate steak cooking, some steak grilling machines have appeared on the market. Existing steak grilling machines are all flip-top type, mainly consisting of a body and a top cover located on the upper side of the body. The top cover is hinged to the body via a pivot, and users need to flip the top cover to open or close the body. However, to allow simultaneous cooking of both sides of the steak, these existing steak grilling machines typically have an upper grill plate on the cover and a lower grill plate inside the body. If the user opens the top cover during or immediately after cooking, the upper grill plate will be exposed, posing a risk of burns. Utility Model Content

[0003] This invention provides a steak machine with a drawer-style inner pot and a top cover, aiming to solve the problem of burns to users when opening the top cover of existing flip-top steak machines, which have an upper baking tray on the top cover.

[0004] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:

[0005] A steak maker with a drawer-style inner pot and a top lid, comprising:

[0006] A cooking cabinet, wherein the cooking cabinet has a receiving cavity, the upper side of the cooking cabinet has an upper opening communicating with the receiving cavity, and the side of the cooking cabinet has a side opening communicating with the receiving cavity;

[0007] A top cover, disposed on the upper side of the cooking chamber and used to open or close the upper opening; and,

[0008] The inner pot of the drawer enters and exits the receiving cavity through the side opening.

[0009] A further embodiment: the top cover is hinged to the upper side of the cooking chamber, and the upper opening is opened or closed by rotating the top cover relative to the cooking chamber.

[0010] Based on the above technical solution: the top cover is connected to the cooking cabinet body by a hinge, which makes it convenient for users to operate the top cover to open or close the top opening.

[0011] A further solution: The upper cover is provided with an upper baking tray.

[0012] A further embodiment: The upper baking tray is slidably mounted on the upper cover, and the upper cover is provided with a driving device. The output end of the driving device is connected to the upper baking tray and is used to drive the upper baking tray to move upward or downward relative to the upper cover.

[0013] Based on the above technical solution: by setting a driving device and the upper baking pan sliding up and down on the upper cover, when cooking a relatively thin steak, the driving device can drive the upper baking pan to move downwards and closer to the inner pot of the drawer, so that the upper baking pan can fit against the upper surface of the steak. The same principle applies to thicker steaks, so that the upper baking pan can move according to the thickness of the steak and adapt to steaks of different thicknesses.

[0014] A further embodiment: The upper baking pan includes an upper pan body and an upper heating component located on the upper side of the upper pan body, and the lower surface of the upper pan body is provided with several raised ribs.

[0015] Based on the above technical solution: by setting several ribs on the lower surface of the upper plate, when the driving device drives the upper baking plate to move downwards and approach the steak, the ribs press against the upper surface of the steak, making the meat fibers looser and easier to absorb flavor.

[0016] A further option: the side opening is located on the front side of the cooking chamber.

[0017] Based on the above technical solution: the above settings make it convenient for users to push and pull the inner pot of the drawer.

[0018] A further embodiment: The inner pot of the drawer is provided with a lower baking tray and a sealing part located in front of the lower baking tray for closing the side opening.

[0019] A further embodiment: The lower baking pan includes a lower pan body and a lower heating assembly located on the lower side of the lower pan body, and a meat tenderizer cone is provided on the lower pan body.

[0020] Based on the above technical solution: by setting a meat tenderizer, it can penetrate into the interior of the steak, making its fibers looser, heating more evenly, and making it easier to absorb flavor.

[0021] A further solution: The lower side of the closure is provided with a groove, which is used for a person to push and pull the inner pot of the drawer.

[0022] Based on the above technical solution: by setting a groove on the lower side of the closed part, it is not only convenient for people to insert their hands into the inner pot of the push-pull drawer, but the hidden groove design also makes the steak machine more aesthetically pleasing.

[0023] A further solution: The lower plate body is provided with an upward-facing receiving groove.

[0024] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0025] This invention features a top cover for opening and closing the top opening, a side opening on the side of the cooking unit, and a drawer-style inner pot that enters and exits the receiving cavity through the side opening. This allows users to pull out the inner pot during cooking without opening the top cover, enabling them to add or remove ingredients or observe the cooking process, thus avoiding burns from the upper baking pan. Alternatively, users can add ingredients by opening the top cover before cooking begins. Compared to existing technologies, this invention is safer to operate. Attached Figure Description

[0032] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely for explaining the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present utility model without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0033] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, this embodiment provides a steak maker with a drawer-style inner pot and a top lid, comprising:

[0034] A cooking cabinet 1, wherein the cooking cabinet 1 has a receiving cavity 11, the upper side of the cooking cabinet 1 has an upper opening 12 communicating with the receiving cavity 11, and the side of the cooking cabinet 1 has a side opening 13 communicating with the receiving cavity 11.

[0035] The upper cover 2 is disposed on the upper side of the cooking chamber 1 and is used to open or close the upper opening 12; and,

[0036] The inner pot 3 of the drawer enters and exits the receiving cavity 11 through the side opening 13. The inner pot 3 of the drawer is slidably connected to the cooking cabinet 1, specifically through the sliding connection via the track assembly 33.

[0037] In actual use, users can choose to open the top cover 2 or pull the inner pot 3 outward from the side opening 13 according to different operational needs.

[0038] In some specific implementations, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the upper cover 2 is hinged to the upper side of the cooking cabinet 1, and the upper opening 12 is opened or closed by rotating the upper cover 2 relative to the cooking cabinet 1. Specifically, the upper cover 2 is provided with an upper cover 2 hinge part, and the upper rear end of the cooking cabinet 1 is provided with a cabinet hinge part, and the upper cover 2 hinge part is hinged to the cabinet hinge part by a pivot.

[0039] In some specific embodiments, the upper cover 2 is provided with an upper baking tray. Specifically, the upper baking tray is located on the lower side of the upper cover 2, that is, on the side close to the inner pot 3 of the drawer. During cooking, the upper baking tray is used to heat the food from the upper side.

[0040] To enable the steak machine to cook steaks of varying thicknesses and ensure the upper baking pan conforms to the steak's surface for better cooking results, the upper baking pan is slidably mounted on the upper cover 2. The upper cover 2 is equipped with a drive device, the output of which is connected to the upper baking pan and used to move the upper baking pan upwards or downwards relative to the upper cover 2. Specifically, when cooking thinner steaks, the user can operate the drive device to move the upper baking pan downwards, allowing it to conform to the steak's surface. When cooking thicker steaks, the upper baking pan is moved to adapt to the steak's thickness. Specifically, the drive device includes a motor and a lead screw nut. The motor's output shaft is connected to the lead screw, the nut is slidably mounted on the upper cover 2 and threadedly connected to the lead screw, and the nut is fixedly connected to the upper baking pan.

[0041] The upper baking pan includes an upper pan body 21 and an upper heating component located on the upper side of the upper pan body 21. The upper heating component is specifically a heating element. The lower surface of the upper pan body 21 is provided with several raised ribs 211. When cooking steak, the raised ribs 211 press against the upper surface of the steak, making the meat fibers looser and the steak easier to marinate.

[0042] In some specific implementations, such as Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, to facilitate user operation by pushing the inner pot 3 into the receiving cavity 11 or pulling it out of the receiving cavity 11, the side opening 13 is located on the front side of the cooking cabinet 1. Specifically, during operation, the user pushes the inner pot 3 backward into the receiving cavity 11 or pulls it forward from the receiving cavity 11 from the front side of the cooking cabinet 1.

[0043] The inner pot of the drawer is equipped with a lower baking tray 32 and a sealing part 31 located in front of the lower baking tray 32 to close the side opening 13. When cooking steak, the lower baking tray 32 and the upper baking tray on the lid can simultaneously heat both sides of the steak, ensuring even heating and better texture. The sealing part 31 is specifically a door adapted to the side opening 13; it closes the side opening 13 when the inner pot of the drawer is pushed into the receiving cavity 11. To facilitate user operation, a groove 311 is provided on the lower side of the sealing part 31. The groove 311 is specifically designed with its opening facing downwards for user convenience.

[0044] The lower baking pan 32 includes a lower pan body 321 and a lower heating component located below the lower pan body 321, specifically a heating element. The lower pan body 321 has an upward-facing receiving groove, into which the steak is placed for cooking. The upper baking pan protrudes downward, allowing it to enter the receiving groove for grilling the steak.

[0045] To better cook the steak, the lower pan 321 is equipped with a meat tenderizer 322. When the driving device moves the upper pan toward the steak, the upper pan presses against the steak, and at this time, the meat tenderizer 322 on the lower pan 32 can penetrate into the interior of the steak, making its fibers looser, its heating more even, and its flavor more easily absorbed.

[0046] Working principle explanation:

[0047] When cooking steak, users can choose to open the top cover 2 to perform operations such as adding or removing ingredients; during the cooking process, in order to avoid being burned by the upper baking pan, users can choose to pull out the inner pot 3 of the drawer to add ingredients.

[0048] This utility model is not limited to the above-mentioned optional embodiments. Under the premise of non-contradiction, the various solutions can be combined arbitrarily. Anyone can derive other forms of products under the guidance of this utility model. However, no matter what changes are made in their shape or structure, all technical solutions that fall within the scope of the claims of this utility model are within the protection scope of this utility model.
