[0033] In related technologies, cooking appliances such as air fryers and ovens mostly use high-temperature hot air convection heat exchange within the cooking chamber to heat food, ensuring it is thoroughly cooked and that the cooking device operates stably. However, relying solely on hot air convection heating can easily evaporate the moisture in the food during cooking, resulting in generally low moisture content after the food is cooked. This limits the cooking methods available to these appliances and reduces their practicality. It is understandable that high-temperature hot air convection heating of food within the cooking chamber can cause the moisture in the food to boil and evaporate under certain heat. The evaporated water vapor is easily blown out of the cooking chamber by the high-temperature airflow, allowing the moisture in the food to gradually evaporate over time, achieving dry-roasting cooking. Therefore, current cooking devices generally only support dry-roasting, resulting in a relatively dry and crisp texture, and cannot effectively achieve other cooking methods and desired food textures. To address the above problems, this utility model proposes a cooking device 100.

[0034] Please see Figures 1 to 8 In one embodiment of the present invention, the cooking device 100 includes a body 10, a steam system 30, and a partition 50. The body 10 has a first cooking cavity 10a and a second cooking cavity 10b. The body 10 is provided with a steam outlet 10c, which is located between the first cooking cavity 10a and the second cooking cavity 10b. The steam system 30 is located in the body 10 and is connected to a steam supply pipe 31. The output end of the steam supply pipe 31 is connected to the steam outlet 10c. The partition 50 is detachably installed in the body 10 and is located between the first cooking cavity 10a and the second cooking cavity 10b. The partition 50 is located on one side of the steam outlet 10c so that the steam outlet 10c can connect to either the first cooking cavity 10a or the second cooking cavity 10b.

[0035] In this application, the body 10 can be a shell structure with a certain heat insulation function, so that the high-temperature hot air can circulate and convect stably within the first cooking chamber 10a and the second cooking chamber 10b, reducing heat radiation outward through the body 10 and ensuring stable heating and cooking of food within the first cooking chamber 10a and the second cooking chamber 10b. By setting a partition 50 between the first cooking chamber 10a and the second cooking chamber 10b, the first cooking chamber 10a and the second cooking chamber 10b can be better separated into two independent cooking spaces, allowing the cooking device 100 to cook different ingredients separately within the first cooking chamber 10a and the second cooking chamber 10b, achieving better cooking results.

[0036] The partition 50 is detachably installed inside the body 10. It can be installed and removed using a snap-fit ​​or slot-like structure, or it can be fastened to the body 10 using bolts or screws. There are many ways to install and remove the partition 50 within the body 10, and this application does not limit this method. When the partition 50 is removed from the body 10, the first cooking chamber 10a and the second cooking chamber 10b on both sides of the partition 50 can be connected to form a unified cooking space. This allows for cooking larger ingredients within a larger cooking space, enabling the cooking device 100 to handle various ingredients by detaching and reassembling the partition 50, effectively improving the practicality and structural reliability of the cooking device 100.

[0037] By setting up a steam system 30, water can be heated to boiling to generate a certain amount of steam. The steam generated by the steam system 30 is transported through the steam supply pipe 31. The steam can be supplied to the machine body 10 through the steam outlet 10c. In this way, the steam can be used to increase the humidity inside the machine body 10 during cooking, so that the steam can act on the food and replenish the food with water, effectively reducing the loss of moisture in the food during the cooking process, and allowing the food to remain relatively moist after cooking.

[0038] At this time, by placing the partition 50 on one side of the steam outlet 10c, the partition 50 can be connected to the side of the steam outlet 10c away from the second cooking chamber 10b, using the partition 50 to separate the first cooking chamber 10a from the steam outlet 10c, so that the steam outlet 10c is connected to the second cooking chamber 10b, allowing steam to be supplied to the second cooking chamber 10b while keeping the first cooking chamber 10a in a relatively dry cooking environment; or, the partition 50 can be connected to the side of the steam outlet 10c away from the first cooking chamber 10a, using the partition 50 to separate the first cooking chamber 10a from the steam outlet 10c. The partition 50 separates the second cooking chamber 10b from the steam outlet 10c, so that the steam outlet 10c is connected to the first cooking chamber 10a, allowing steam to be supplied to the first cooking chamber 10a while keeping the second cooking chamber 10b in a relatively dry cooking environment; or, the partition 50 can be removed from the body 10, in which case the steam flowing out of the steam outlet 10c can flow steadily into the first cooking chamber 10a and the second cooking chamber 10b, so that both the first cooking chamber 10a and the second cooking chamber 10b can form a certain water-replenishing cooking environment.

[0039] Therefore, the technical solution of this utility model, by utilizing the detachable and detachable partition 50 within the body 10 and combining it with the water vapor replenishment of the steam system 30, allows the first cooking chamber 10a and the second cooking chamber 10b to perform relatively dry baking and water-replenishing cooking respectively. This facilitates the simultaneous execution of two different cooking operations within the cooking device 100, effectively enriching the cooking methods of the cooking device 100. Furthermore, by controlling the water vapor generated by the steam system 30, the appropriate amount of water vapor can be supplied according to the desired cooking effect of the ingredients, allowing the ingredients to achieve the desired texture after cooking. This results in better cooking effects for the ingredients within the cooking device 100, effectively improving the practicality and structural reliability of the cooking device 100.

[0040] See Figure 4 and Figure 6 In one embodiment of the present invention, the body 10 is provided with a first connecting structure 11 and a second connecting structure 13, the steam outlet 10c is located between the first connecting structure 11 and the second connecting structure 13, and the partition 50 is detachably connected to the first connecting structure 11 or the second connecting structure 13.

[0041] In this embodiment, the inner wall of the body 10 may be provided with a first connecting structure 11 and a second connecting structure 13 on opposite sides of the steam outlet 10c. The first connecting structure 11 and the second connecting structure 13 may be installation structures that cooperate with the partition 50, such as clips for holding the periphery of the partition 50, slots for inserting the partition 50, and pins that cooperate with the partition 50. This application does not limit the structural form of the first connecting structure 11 and the second connecting structure 13. Therefore, the partition 50 may be installed on the first connecting structure 11 or on the second connecting structure 13 to achieve a stable assembly of the partition 50 in the body 10, thereby further improving the structural stability and reliability of the cooking device 100.

[0042] By setting the first connecting structure 11 and the second connecting structure 13 on opposite sides of the steam outlet 10c, the baffle 50 can be installed on the first connecting structure 11 or the second connecting structure 13 to adjust the connection between the steam outlet 10c and the first cooking chamber 10a or the second cooking chamber 10b. This facilitates easier operation of the baffle 50 to adjust the direction of steam replenishment, further improving the ease of operation and practicality of the cooking device 100.

[0043] See Figure 4 and Figure 6 In one embodiment of the present invention, the first connecting structure 11 includes a first upper sliding groove 111 and a first lower sliding groove 113. The first upper sliding groove 111 and the first lower sliding groove 113 are respectively disposed on two opposite inner walls of the body 10, and the opposite sides of the partition 50 are respectively engaged with the first upper sliding groove 111 and the first lower sliding groove 113.

[0044] In this embodiment, the first connecting structure 11 may include a first upper sliding groove 111 and a first lower sliding groove 113 respectively disposed on two opposite inner sidewalls of the body 10. The distance between the first upper sliding groove 111 and the first lower sliding groove 113 may be set to correspond to the width of the partition 50, and the groove width of the first upper sliding groove 111 and the first lower sliding groove 113 may be set to correspond to the thickness of the partition 50, so that the two opposite sides of the partition 50 can be inserted into the first upper sliding groove 111 and the first lower sliding groove 113 respectively, so that the first connecting structure 11 can use the first upper sliding groove 111 and the first lower sliding groove 113 to clamp and fix the partition 50, thereby achieving a stable assembly of the partition 50 on the body 10 and ensuring that the partition 50 stably and reliably separates the first cooking cavity 10a and the second cooking cavity 10b. By adopting a sliding groove structure for the first connecting structure 11, the partition 50 can be more easily installed and removed from the body 10 by sliding and plugging, which helps to improve the ease of installation and removal of the partition 50 in the body 10 and further improves the practicality and reliability of the cooking device 100.

[0045] In addition, sealing structures such as sealing gaskets and sealing rings can be respectively provided in the first upper sliding groove 111 and the first lower sliding groove 113, so that the peripheral limiting installation of the partition 50 in the first upper sliding groove 111 and the first lower sliding groove 113 can cooperate and abut with the sealing structure, which helps to better reduce the gap between the partition 50 and the first connecting structure 11, so that the partition 50 can better separate and seal the first cooking cavity 10a and the second cooking cavity 10b, further improving the practicality and structural reliability of the cooking device 100.

[0046] See Figure 4 and Figure 6 In one embodiment of the present invention, the second connecting structure 13 includes a second upper sliding groove 131 and a second lower sliding groove 133. The second upper sliding groove 131 and the second lower sliding groove 133 are respectively disposed on two opposite inner walls of the body 10, and the opposite sides of the partition 50 are respectively engaged with the second upper sliding groove 131 and the second lower sliding groove 133.

[0047] In this embodiment, the second connecting structure 13 may include a second upper sliding groove 131 and a second lower sliding groove 133 respectively disposed on two opposite inner sidewalls of the body 10. The distance between the second upper sliding groove 131 and the second lower sliding groove 133 may be set to correspond to the width of the partition 50, and the groove width of the second upper sliding groove 131 and the second lower sliding groove 133 may be set to correspond to the thickness of the partition 50, so that the two opposite sides of the partition 50 can be inserted into the second upper sliding groove 131 and the second lower sliding groove 133 respectively, so that the second connecting structure 13 can use the second upper sliding groove 131 and the second lower sliding groove 133 to clamp and fix the partition 50, thereby achieving a stable assembly of the partition 50 on the body 10 and ensuring that the partition 50 stably and reliably separates the first cooking cavity 10a and the second cooking cavity 10b. By adopting a sliding groove structure for the second connecting structure 13, the partition 50 can be more easily installed and removed from the body 10 by sliding and plugging, which helps to improve the ease of installation and removal of the partition 50 in the body 10 and further improves the practicality and reliability of the cooking device 100.

[0048] In addition, sealing structures such as sealing gaskets and sealing rings can be respectively provided in the second upper sliding groove 131 and the second lower sliding groove 133, so that the peripheral limiting installation of the partition 50 in the second upper sliding groove 131 and the second lower sliding groove 133 can cooperate and abut with the sealing structure, which helps to better reduce the gap between the partition 50 and the second connecting structure 13, so that the partition 50 can better separate and seal the first cooking cavity 10a and the second cooking cavity 10b, further improving the practicality and structural reliability of the cooking device 100.

[0049] See Figure 7 and Figure 8In one embodiment of the present invention, both the first connecting structure 11 and the second connecting structure 13 are provided with a positioning detection mechanism 15, which is used to detect the partition 50.

[0050] In this embodiment, by providing a positioning detection mechanism 15 in the first connecting structure 11 and the second connecting structure 13, the positioning detection mechanism 15 can detect the installation position of the partition 50 and whether the partition 50 is properly installed in the body 10 when it is assembled with the first connecting structure 11 or the second connecting structure 13, thus ensuring the stability and reliability of the partition 50 in the assembly and disassembly of the body 10. With the help of the positioning detection mechanism 15, it is possible to more accurately detect whether the partition 50 is installed on the first connecting structure 11 or the second connecting structure 13. This is beneficial for determining the separation position of the partition 50 on the steam outlet 10c based on the detection results of the positioning detection mechanism 15. This allows the cooking device 100 to identify whether the steam outlet 10c is connected to the first cooking chamber 10a or the second cooking chamber 10b based on the detection data of the positioning detection mechanism 15. This can prompt the user to place ingredients that need to be cooked with water in the cooking chamber connected to the steam outlet 10c, while ingredients that need to be baked can be placed in the other cooking chamber. This allows the cooking device 100 to better perform the cooking of various ingredients and achieve various cooking effects, effectively enriching the cooking methods of the cooking device 100 and further improving the practicality and structural reliability of the cooking device 100. It should be noted that the positioning detection mechanism 15 can adopt an electromagnetic induction structure. By generating a certain magnetic field within the body 10 and equipping the partition 50 with magnetic components or induction coils, the positioning detection mechanism 15 can detect the partition 50 being installed in place. Alternatively, the positioning detection mechanism 15 can adopt a contact switch, which can trigger the positioning detection mechanism 15 to respond when the partition 50 is installed in the first cooking cavity 10a or the second cooking cavity 10b. Furthermore, the positioning detection mechanism 15 can also adopt an infrared detection device, utilizing the partition 50's ability to block infrared light during installation to detect the partition 50 being installed in place. There are many possible structural forms for the positioning detection mechanism 15, and this application does not limit this one.

[0051] When the partition 50 is assembled with the first connecting structure 11, the positioning detection mechanism 15 at the first connecting structure 11 can respond and send a positioning assembly signal of the partition 50 at the first connecting structure 11 to the controller of the cooking device 100. This allows the controller to recognize that the steam outlet 10c is connected to the second cooking chamber 10b. Consequently, the control display component of the cooking device 100 can indicate that the second cooking chamber 10b can perform water-filling cooking. This allows the cooking device 100 to be used to achieve different cooking methods simultaneously, further improving the practicality and reliability of the cooking device 100.

[0052] See Figure 8 In one embodiment of the present invention, the positioning detection mechanism 15 includes a micro switch 151 and a trigger rod 153. The trigger rod 153 is movably disposed between the partition 50 and the micro switch 151. The periphery of the partition 50 can abut against the trigger rod 153 so that the trigger rod 153 abuts against the trigger micro switch 151.

[0053] In this embodiment, by including a micro switch 151 and a trigger rod 153 in the positioning detection mechanism 15, the trigger rod 153 can be movably disposed in the first cooking chamber 10a and the second cooking chamber 10b, respectively. This allows the trigger rod 153 to be moved towards the micro switch 151 by the periphery of the partition 50 against the trigger rod 153 during the assembly of the partition 50 into the first or second cooking chamber 10a or the second cooking chamber 10b. This enables the trigger rod 153 to abut against the trigger micro switch 151 when the partition 50 is in place, allowing the micro switch 151 in the corresponding cooking chamber to stably send a partition 50 installation signal. This allows the controller of the cooking device 100 to reliably identify the cooking chamber connected to the steam system 30, facilitating the indication of the cooking methods that can be performed in different cooking chambers. This allows the cooking device 100 to achieve more diverse cooking effects more stably and reliably, further improving the practicality and reliability of the cooking device 100.

[0054] The main body 10 can be provided with clearance holes at the locations of the first cooking cavity 10a and the second cooking cavity 10b for the installation and removal of the partition 50. The micro switch 151 is positioned within the clearance hole, and the trigger rod 153 can be raised and lowered within the clearance hole. During installation of the partition 50, the top edge pushes the trigger rod 153, causing it to rise and abut against the micro switch 151, thus triggering the partition 50 to detect its position against the positioning detection mechanism 15. When the partition 50 is removed from the main body 10, the abutment on the trigger rod 153 is released, allowing it to move away from the micro switch 151 under gravity. This prevents the micro switch 151 from being triggered and thus avoids sending a partition 50 removal signal, resulting in better detection response for the installation and removal of the partition 50 and further improving the practicality and reliability of the cooking device 100. Furthermore, elastic elements such as springs and torsion springs can be used to connect the trigger rod 153 and the inner wall of the clearance hole. This allows the elastic element to be compressed when the partition 50 is installed against the trigger rod 153. When the partition 50 is removed from the cooking body, the elastic force of the elastic element can move the trigger rod 153 away from the micro switch 151, ensuring a more stable and reliable trigger response for the positioning detection mechanism 15 and further improving its detection accuracy. Simultaneously, using elastic elements to reset the trigger rod 153 allows the positioning detection mechanism 15 to be better positioned on the inner wall or bottom wall of the cooking cavity, facilitating the installation and arrangement of various components within the cooking device 100 and further improving the practicality and structural reliability of the cooking device 100.

[0055] See Figure 4 and Figure 6 In one embodiment of the present invention, the steam system 30 includes a water supply component 33 and a steam generator 35. The water supply component 33 is connected to the input end pipe of the steam generator 35, and the output end of the steam generator 35 is connected to a steam supply pipe 31.

[0056] In this embodiment, the steam system 30 may include a water supply component 33 and a steam generator 35. The water supply component 33 may be a water tank 331 or a water storage tank with a certain water storage function, so as to make the cooking device 100 more portable; or, the water supply component 33 may be a pipeline system connected to a water source, which is conducive to better ensuring the water supply during the operation of the steam system 30, and further improving the practicality and reliability of the cooking device 100. By connecting the water supply component 33 to the steam generator 35, the water supply component 33 can stably input water into the steam generator 35 for heating to generate a certain amount of steam, and the steam generator 35 can stably deliver the steam to the cooking chamber through the steam supply pipe 31, ensuring a stable water supply and cooking effect for the cooking device 100.

[0057] By using the control system of the cooking device 100 to regulate the operation of the water supply component 33 and the steam generator 35, the amount of water supplied by the water supply component 33 to the steam generator 35 can be better adjusted according to the water replenishment requirements of cooking, and the operating power of the steam generator 35 can be adjusted accordingly, so that the steam system 30 can generate a corresponding amount of steam at a certain rate, so that the food can achieve better cooking results in the cooking device 100, and further improve the practicality and reliability of the cooking device 100.

[0058] See Figure 4 and Figure 6 In one embodiment of the present invention, the water supply component 33 includes a water tank 331 and a pumping mechanism 333. The water tank 331 is connected to the body 10; the pumping mechanism 333 is connected to the body 10, and the pumping mechanism 333 is connected to the water tank 331 by a pipe and to the input pipe of the steam generator 35.

[0059] In this embodiment, the water supply component 33 can connect and install a water tank 331 with a certain water storage capacity on the body 10. By connecting the water pumping mechanism 333 and the water tank 331 through a pipe, and by connecting the water pumping mechanism 333 and the steam generator 35 through a pipe, the water pumping mechanism 333 can stably pump water from the water tank 331 and supply it to the steam generator 35. Furthermore, the amount of steam generated can be controlled by controlling the operating power of the water pumping mechanism 333, so that the cooking device 100 can better meet the water replenishment needs of the food during cooking and achieve better cooking results.

[0060] The water tank 331 and the pumping mechanism 333 can both be connected and installed outside the machine body 10, so that the steam system 30 can more conveniently replenish the water tank 331 and more conveniently maintain and repair the pumping mechanism 333.

[0061] Alternatively, in one embodiment of this utility model, the pumping mechanism 333 and the steam generator 35 are disposed inside the body 10. The body 10 is provided with a flow channel, which is connected to the pumping mechanism 333 via a pipe. A trigger post is protruding from the bottom wall of the flow channel. The water tank 331 is provided with a water injection hole on the side facing the body 10. A drain valve is provided in the water injection hole, which is connected to the flow channel to allow the trigger post to open the drain valve.

[0062] In this embodiment, the steam system 30 can install the water pumping mechanism 333 and the steam generator 35 inside the cooking device 100, and the water tank 331 can be installed and connected to the body 10. At this time, the water tank 331 and the body 10 can be set with a detachable mating structure, so that the cooking device 100 can more easily remove and install the water tank 331 on the body 10 for water replenishment, further improving the operation convenience and practicality of the cooking device 100. The main body 10 can be equipped with a flow channel on its top or side wall. When the water tank 331 is installed on the main body 10, its water inlet can be positioned correspondingly in the flow channel. A drain valve is installed in the water inlet, and a trigger post is installed on the bottom wall of the flow channel. When the water tank 331 is stably installed on the main body 10, the trigger post opens the drain valve, allowing water stored in the water tank 331 to be stably released into the flow channel. The water then flows steadily through the pipe connecting the flow channel and the pumping mechanism 333, and is then pumped into the steam generator 35, ensuring the stable operation of the steam system 30. By utilizing the fitting assembly structure between the water tank 331 and the main body 10, the connection between the water tank 331 and the pumping mechanism 333 within the main body 10 can be made more convenient, further improving the ease of assembly and disassembly and the reliability of the cooking device 100. The vent valve can be equipped with an elastic structure such as a spring to achieve elastic reset, so that when the trigger column opens the vent valve, it can compress the elastic structure, and when the water tank 331 is removed from the body 10, the elastic structure can restore its elastic deformation, so that the elastic structure can drive the vent valve to move and reset to close the water inlet hole, preventing water leakage when the water tank 331 is removed, and further improving the structural stability and reliability of the cooking device 100.

[0063] Furthermore, the body 10 can be provided with a sealing gasket or other structure around the opening of the flow channel to abut against the water tank 331, so as to prevent the water in the flow channel from overflowing and ensure the stable and reliable assembly of the water tank 331 and the body 10.

[0064] In one embodiment of the present invention, a mounting boss is provided on one side of the water tank 331. The mounting boss has a water injection hole and a first sealing member is provided on the outer periphery of the mounting boss. The mounting boss is inserted into the flow groove, and the first sealing member abuts and seals against the inner side wall of the flow groove.

[0065] In this embodiment, the water tank 331 has a protruding mounting boss on one side that mates with the body 10, and the mounting boss is hollow to form a water inlet hole. The outer diameter of the mounting boss can correspond to the inner diameter of the flow channel, so that when the water tank 331 is assembled with the body 10, the mounting boss is inserted into the flow channel, allowing the trigger post in the flow channel to stably open the drain valve in the water inlet hole. By providing a sealing ring or sealing ring around the outer periphery of the mounting boss, the first sealing element can abut against the inner wall of the flow channel, so that the first sealing element can stably seal the gap between the mounting boss and the flow channel, which helps to better prevent water from overflowing from the flow channel, achieving a better water-proof effect for the cooking device 100, and further improving the structural stability and reliability of the cooking device 100.

[0066] See Figure 2 and Figure 3 In one embodiment of the present invention, the cooking device further includes a support structure 70, which is detachably disposed in the first cooking cavity 10a and / or the second cooking cavity 10b, and is used to support the food to be cooked.

[0067] In this embodiment, the cooking device 100 may be equipped with a rack, tray, or other support structure 70 within the first cooking cavity 10a and / or the second cooking cavity 10b. This support structure 70 may be positioned at a certain distance from both the top and bottom walls of the cooking cavity, allowing the cooking device 100 to place food on it, thus ensuring that heat is applied more evenly to the upper and lower surfaces of the food. The cooking device 100 may also have slots or protrusions on the inner wall of the cooking cavity to securely fasten the support structure 70 within the cavity; alternatively, a partition 50 may engage with the inner wall of the cooking cavity to securely fasten the support structure 70, ensuring its stable installation within the cavity. There are various assembly methods for the support structure 70 within the first and / or second cooking cavity 10b, and this application does not limit this method, as long as the support structure 70 can be stably assembled and disassembled within the body 10.

[0068] Furthermore, the support structure 70 can be designed as a telescopic or foldable structure, so that the support structure 70 can be better fitted and installed in the first cooking cavity 10a or the second cooking cavity 10b. When the partition 50 is removed, the support structure 70 can be installed in the first cooking cavity 10a or the second cooking cavity 10b simultaneously. Alternatively, the support structure 70 can include multiple independent modules, so that modules of corresponding sizes can be installed in the first cooking cavity 10a and the second cooking cavity 10b respectively. After the partition 50 is removed, larger modules can be installed in the first cooking cavity 10a and the second cooking cavity 10b simultaneously, ensuring the stable assembly of the support structure 70 on the body 10.

[0069] See Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 6 In one embodiment of the present invention, the supporting structure 70 further includes a first supporting member 71 and a second supporting member 73. The first supporting member 71 and the second supporting member 73 are respectively connected to opposite sides of the partition 50 and are respectively detachably disposed in the first cooking cavity 10a and the second cooking cavity 10b.

[0070] In this embodiment, the supporting structure 70 may include a first supporting member 71 and a second supporting member 73. The width of the first supporting member 71 and the width of the second supporting member 73 may be set to correspond to the width of the first cooking cavity 10a and the width of the second cooking cavity 10b after being separated by the partition 50, respectively, so as to achieve stable assembly of the supporting structure 70 within the first cooking cavity 10a and the second cooking cavity 10b. At this time, the wall surface of the cooking cavity opposite to the partition 50 may be provided with a slot or protrusion, which cooperates with the slot or protrusion on the partition 50 to support and install the first supporting member 71 or the second supporting member 73, so that the first supporting member 71 and the second supporting member 73 can be installed on opposite sides of the partition 50, ensuring the stable installation of the supporting structure 70.

[0071] If the partition 50 is installed adjacent to the first cooking cavity 10a or the second cooking cavity 10b, resulting in a difference in width between the first cooking cavity 10a and the second cooking cavity 10b, the first support member 71 and the second support member 73 can be configured with different widths. This allows the support structure 70 to be installed in the first cooking cavity 10a and the second cooking cavity 10b respectively, based on the partition 50. For example, when the partition 50 is adjacent to the first cooking cavity 10a, allowing the steam outlet 10c to communicate with the second cooking cavity 10b, the width of the first cooking cavity 10a can be smaller than the width of the second cooking cavity 10b. If the first support member... The width of the first support member 71 is smaller than the width of the second support member 73, so that the first support member 71 can be installed in the first cooking cavity 10a and the second support member 73 can be installed in the second cooking cavity 10b. When the partition 50 is adjusted to be installed adjacent to the second cooking cavity 10b so that the steam outlet 10c is connected to the first cooking cavity 10a, the width of the first cooking cavity 10a can be set to be greater than the width of the second cooking cavity 10b. Thus, the installation positions of the first support member 71 and the second support member 73 can be interchanged, so that the second support member 73 is installed in the first cooking cavity 10a and the first support member 71 is installed in the second cooking cavity 10b, ensuring the stable assembly of the support structure 70 in the body 10.

[0072] If the partition 50 can be installed between the first cooking cavity 10a and the second cooking cavity 10b to keep the width of the first cooking cavity 10a and the second cooking cavity 10b consistent, the support structure 70 can make the first support member 71 and the second support member 73 have the same width size, so that the first support member 71 and the second support member 73 can be arbitrarily assigned to the first cooking cavity 10a or the second cooking cavity 10b for installation, which is conducive to improving the ease of disassembly and assembly of the support structure 70 in the body 10.

[0073] Furthermore, when the first support member 71 and the second support member 73 are mounted on the surface of the partition 50, the first support member 71 and the second support member 73 can be configured with structural dimensions that allow them to be installed in any cooking cavity. This allows the first support member 71 and the second support member 73 to be spaced apart from the inner wall of the cooking cavity after installation, thereby making it easier to install the first support member 71 and the second support member 73 into the first cooking cavity 10a and the second cooking cavity 10b, further improving the ease of installation of the support structure 70 on the body 10.

[0074] See Figure 4 and Figure 6In one embodiment of the present invention, the partition 50 includes two connecting sections 51 and one clearance section 53. One end of the two connecting sections 51 is respectively connected to the body 10. The two ends of the clearance section 53 are respectively bent and connected to the other ends of the two connecting sections 51. The opposite sides of the clearance section 53 are respectively connected to the first bearing member 71 and the second bearing member 73.

[0075] In this embodiment, the partition 50 can be arranged in a U-shaped plate structure so that the partition 50 can be connected to the inner wall of the body 10 by the connecting sections 51 at both ends. The avoidance section 53 in the middle of the partition 50 is bent and connected to the two connecting sections 51. The bend of the avoidance section 53 can make the distance between the two back-to-back plates of the avoidance section 53 and the relative inner walls of the first cooking cavity 10a and the second cooking cavity 10b consistent. At this time, the width of the first support member 71 and the second support member 73 connected to the two back-to-back plates of the avoidance section 53 can be consistent. This is beneficial to the fact that the first support member 71 and the second support member 73 can be installed in the first cooking cavity 10a or the second cooking cavity 10b. This means that the support structure 70 does not need to be installed with the corresponding first support member 71 and the second support member 73 corresponding to the width of the first cooking cavity 10a and the second cooking cavity 10b separated by the partition 50. This makes it easier and more reliable to assemble and disassemble the support structure 70 in the body 10, and further improves the operation convenience and practicality of the cooking device 100.

[0076] In some embodiments, the two connecting sections 51 of the partition 50 can be designated as a first connecting section and a second connecting section, respectively. In this case, the two opposing inner wall surfaces connected to the partition 50 within the body 10 can be designated as an upper wall surface and a lower wall surface. The partition 50 can utilize the bending of the first and second connecting sections to ensure that the clearance section 53 of the partition 50 is directly opposite the steam outlet 10c, and that the first and second connecting sections are positioned on opposite sides of the steam outlet 10c within the body 10. Furthermore, when the cooking device 100 needs to use the partition 50 to separate the first cooking chamber 10a and the second cooking chamber 10b, so that the steam outlet 10c connects to the first cooking chamber 10a but not to the second cooking chamber 10b, the first connecting section of the partition 50 can be connected to the upper wall surface within the body 10, and the second connecting section of the partition 50 can be connected to the lower wall surface within the body 10, i.e., as shown in the figure. Figure 6 The diagram shows the structural schematic. When it is necessary to adjust the installation position of the partition 50 so that the steam outlet 10c is connected to the second cooking chamber 10b but not to the first cooking chamber 10a, the partition 50 can be removed, rotated 180° around the center of the clearance section 53, and then inserted back into the body 10. This allows the partition 50 to connect its second connecting section to the upper wall of the body 10 and its first connecting section to the lower wall of the body 10. Figure 7The diagram shows the structure. This facilitates a more convenient assembly and adjustment of the partition 50 on the body 10, further improving the ease of operation and practicality of the cooking device 100.

[0077] Furthermore, by adopting a structure in which the first connecting section and the second connecting section are bent and connected to the avoidance section 53 respectively, and by adjusting the installation position of the partition 50 in the body 10 to change the communication space of the steam outlet 10c, the distance between the avoidance section 53 and the relative inner wall of the first cooking cavity 10a and the relative inner wall of the second cooking cavity 10b can be kept consistent whether the partition 50 is installed near the first cooking cavity 10a or near the second cooking cavity 10b. This eliminates the need to replace the first support member 71 and the second support member 73 when adjusting the partition 50 to change the communication space of the steam outlet 10c, so that the first support member 71 and the second support member 73 can be stably installed in the first cooking cavity 10a and the second cooking cavity 10b respectively, further improving the ease of operation and practicality of the cooking device 100.

[0078] In one embodiment of the present invention, the cooking device 100 further includes a heating system, which is installed on the body 10 and is used to deliver heat to the first cooking cavity 10a and / or the second cooking cavity 10b.

[0079] In this embodiment, the heating system heats air using heating elements such as heating tubes and heating wires, and then uses a fan to blow the heated air into the first cooking chamber 10a and / or the second cooking chamber 10b. This allows the high-temperature airflow to circulate within the cooking chambers, better heating the food and ensuring the stable operation of the cooking device 100. The cooking device 100 can also utilize hot air ducts to supply the heated airflow to the first cooking chamber 10a and the second cooking chamber 10b, ensuring stable heating of the food within each chamber and further improving the practicality and reliability of the cooking device 100. Furthermore, the heating system can regulate the temperature of the airflow supplied to the first cooking chamber 10a and the second cooking chamber 10b, creating suitable heating environments for the food within each chamber. This ensures that the food in each chamber achieves the desired cooking effect, guaranteeing the stable and reliable operation of the cooking device.

[0080] In one embodiment of the present invention, the heating system includes at least two heating devices, one heating device is installed in the first cooking cavity 10a, and the other heating device is installed in the second cooking cavity 10b.

[0081] In this embodiment, the heating system can install an independently operating heating device in each of the first cooking chamber 10a and the second cooking chamber 10b. This allows for stable heating of the food in either chamber, ensuring a better heat supply and enabling more stable and reliable cooking operations. Furthermore, the cooking device 100 can control the operating power of multiple heating devices to adjust the temperature according to the required heating temperature of the food in the chambers, achieving a more stable cooking effect and further improving its practicality and reliability.

[0082] The above description is merely an exemplary embodiment of the present utility model and does not limit the patent scope of the present utility model. Any equivalent structural transformations made based on the technical concept of the present utility model and the contents of the present utility model specification and drawings, or direct / indirect applications in other related technical fields, are included within the patent protection scope of the present utility model.
