[0042] Existing cooking appliances typically only fulfill a single cooking function, exhibiting significant homogeneity. Furthermore, the preparation of some dishes requires transferring ingredients between different appliances, which is cumbersome. Therefore, this paper proposes a combined cooking appliance that integrates different heating methods to meet diverse cooking needs.

[0043] However, in this type of modular cooking appliance, each cooking module generates a lot of heat during operation, which can easily cause the power board to overheat and damage the components.

[0044] The main purpose of this utility model is to propose a cooking appliance that aims to at least solve the technical problem in related technologies where the power board temperature is easily too high, leading to damage to components.

[0045] Please see Figures 1 to 3In one embodiment of this utility model, the cooking appliance 100 includes a main body 1, a first electrical component 2, a second electrical component 3, an electronic control device 4, and an operating component; the main body 1 has a heating chamber 11 and an opening that communicates with and can be opened and closed. A heating zone is provided at the upper end of the main body 1 above the heating chamber 11. The heating zone and the heating chamber 11 are at least partially arranged opposite each other in the vertical direction. The heating zone is used for placing cookware for heating. A mounting cavity 12 is formed on one side of the heating chamber 11 in the horizontal direction within the main body 1. The first electrical component 2 includes a first heating device 21, which is disposed on the main body 1 and used to heat the food inside the heating chamber 11. The second electrical component 3 includes a second heating device 31, which is disposed within the main body 1 and corresponding to the heating zone, for heating a pot placed in the heating zone. The second heating device 31 is spaced apart from the heating chamber 11 and located on the upper side of the heating chamber 11. The electronic control device 4 is disposed within the mounting cavity 12 and is electrically connected to the first electrical component 2 and the second electrical component 3. The operating component includes a first operating part 5 and a second operating part 6 disposed on the outer surface of the main body 1 adjacent to the mounting cavity 12. The first operating part 5 is used to control the operation of the first electrical component 2 through the electronic control device 4, and the second operating part 6 is used to control the operation of the second electrical component 3 through the electronic control device 4.

[0046] In the technical solution of this utility model, the main body 1 has a heating chamber 11, and a heating zone is provided at the upper end of the main body 1 above the heating chamber 11. The first heating device 21 of the first electrical component 2 is disposed in the main body 1 to heat the food in the heating chamber 11. The second heating device 31 of the second electrical component 3 is disposed in the main body 1 and is disposed corresponding to the heating zone. That is, the heating zone and the heating chamber 11 are the high-temperature areas of the cooking appliance 100. An installation cavity 12 is formed on one side of the heating chamber 11 in the horizontal direction of the main body 1, so that the installation cavity 12 is separated from the heating zone and the heating chamber 11. The temperature in the installation cavity 12 is relatively low. The first operating part 5 and the second operating part 6 are disposed on the outer surface of the main body 1 and adjacent to the installation cavity 12, so that less heat is transferred to the first operating part 5 and the second operating part 6, and the user is less likely to be burned during use. In addition, the electronic control device 4 is disposed in the installation cavity 12, which can effectively protect the electronic control device 4.

[0047] The working area is used to place the cookware. The shape of the working area is not limited; the specific shape depends on the needs of the cookware. If the cookware is a flat-bottomed pan, the working area can be set to a flat shape to better accommodate the pan. If the bottom of the cookware is round, the working area can be set to a concave shape to better accommodate the round-bottomed pan.

[0048] The first heating device 21 is used to heat the food in the heating chamber 11. The first heating device 21 may be an electric heating wire, a heating tube or other types of heating elements.

[0049] The second heating device 31 can also take many different forms.

[0050] In some embodiments, the second heating device 31 employs an electromagnetic heating device. When the metal pot is placed in the heating zone, the electromagnetic field generates eddy currents at the bottom of the pot, thereby directly heating the pot. This design is suitable for efficient and rapid heating, and is appropriate for cooking methods such as boiling, stir-frying, and pan-frying. It should be noted that, depending on whether the pot is flat-bottomed or round-bottomed, the winding method of the electromagnetic heating device can also be set to a flat or concave shape, achieving a better heating effect on the pot.

[0051] In some embodiments, the second heating device 31 may also use a resistance heating element, through which the heat generated by the resistance heating element is transferred to the cookware, suitable for slow cooking, heat preservation and other operations.

[0052] In some embodiments, the second heating device 31 may also be an infrared heater, which directly heats the surface of the cookware or food by radiation, and is suitable for rapid heating and maintaining the surface temperature of food.

[0053] In this embodiment, by integrating two different heating methods in the same cooking appliance 100, users can choose the most suitable heating mode according to their specific cooking needs, which greatly improves cooking efficiency, flexibility and convenience. Users do not need to purchase other types of kitchen appliances, thus meeting diverse cooking needs.

[0054] It is worth noting that the first heating device 21 and the second heating device 33 in this utility model can form a multi-functional integrated machine with staggered upper and lower layers in a relatively small space, such as an oven-integrated machine (i.e., cooking appliance 100). This allows multiple kitchen functions (such as cooking and baking) to be integrated into one device within a limited kitchen space, reducing the space required for individual devices, further improving space utilization, and making the kitchen layout more compact and efficient. Traditional large-scale kitchen appliances with stovetops and ovens typically occupy a large space, and their functional areas are relatively fixed and not easily adjustable according to actual needs. The staggered upper and lower layers of the multi-functional integrated machine are more flexible and can be adjusted according to the actual size and layout of the kitchen to meet different cooking needs. The multi-functional integrated machine can integrate multiple cooking functions, such as gas stoves, induction cookers, ovens, and steamers, which can be selected according to the user's actual needs.

[0055] Specifically, in one embodiment, the height of the main body 1 is 70mm to 150mm. This design reduces the overall volume, making the product more compact and lightweight, and easier for users to use and store in different environments. The lower height not only optimizes space utilization but is also particularly suitable for environments with limited space, such as kitchen countertops. Furthermore, in one embodiment, the installation height of the second heating device 31 within the main body 1 can be set to 20mm to 30mm. Therefore, the installation height of the first heating device 22 within the main body 1 is adapted to the thickness of the food in the heating chamber 11. For example, when the food is a pancake, the installation height of the first heating device 21 within the main body 1 can be 40mm to 50mm; when the food is a sweet potato, the installation height of the first heating device 21 within the main body 1 can be 120mm to 130mm.

[0056] The first operating unit 5 is used to control the operation of the first electrical component 2 via the electronic control device 4. The first operating unit 5 can take various forms. In some embodiments, the first operating unit 5 can be a touch button, a slider, or a knob. Specifically, in... Figure 2 In the illustrated embodiment, the first operation unit 5 includes a knob located on one side of the main body 1.

[0057] The second operating unit 6 is used to control the operation of the second electrical component 3 via the electronic control device 4. The second operating unit 6 can take various forms. In some embodiments, the second operating unit 6 can be a touch button, a slider, or a knob. Specifically, in... Figure 2In the embodiment shown, the second operation unit 6 includes a touch button located at the upper end of the main body 1.

[0058] It should be noted that the first operating unit 5 and the second operating unit 6 can be integrated together or separately. In some embodiments, the first operating unit 5 and the second operating unit 6 are integrated together. This arrangement simplifies the installation of the entire cooking assembly by requiring only one installation. In some embodiments, the first operating unit 5 and the second operating unit 6 are separately arranged. This allows the user to clearly distinguish between the first operating unit 5 and the second operating unit 6, improving operational convenience. Furthermore, the first operating unit 5 and the second operating unit 6 can be positioned in different locations for differentiation, such as... Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the first operating unit 5 is located on one side of the main body 1 in the longitudinal direction, while the second operating unit 6 is located at the upper end of the main body 1. This allows the user to more clearly know which of the first electrical component 2 and the second electrical component 3 is controlled by the first operating unit 5 and the second operating unit 6.

[0059] The opening is a channel for food to be placed into or removed from the heating chamber 11. The position of the mounting cavity 12 should not affect the opening and closing of the opening. That is, when the opening is set in the longitudinal direction of the heating chamber 11, the mounting cavity 12 can be set on one side of the heating chamber 11 in the transverse direction, or it can be set on the side of the heating chamber 11 in the longitudinal direction opposite to the opening.

[0060] It is understandable that during actual use of the cooking appliance 100, the opening is usually facing the user. If the mounting cavity 12 is located on the side of the heating chamber 11 that is opposite to the opening in the longitudinal direction, the first operating part 5 and the second operating part 6 will be located at the rear of the entire cooking appliance 100, which is extremely inconvenient in actual operation. They also need to go over the pot on the heating area, which can easily cause burns, and the travel distance is relatively long.

[0061] Therefore, in the embodiments of this utility model, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2The mounting cavity 12 is located on one side of the heating chamber 11 in the horizontal direction; the opening is located on one side of the main body 1 in the vertical direction. With this configuration, during use, when the opening faces the user, the mounting cavity 12 is located on the side of the entire cooking appliance 100. When the first electrical component 2 and the second electrical component 3 need to be operated via the first operating part 5 and the second operating part 6, it is not necessary to cross the pot in the heating zone, reducing the risk of burns to the user, and the entire travel distance is relatively shorter.

[0062] It is understandable that most people are right-handed, meaning most users are right-handed. To further facilitate user operation, in a further embodiment, with the direction from the opening towards the heating chamber 11 being forward, the mounting cavity 12 is located on the right side of the heating chamber 11. Thus, during use, when the opening is facing the user, the mounting cavity 12 is located on the right side of the entire cooking appliance 100, meaning the first operating part 5 and the second operating part 6 are also on the right side, conforming to the right-handed operation habits of most users.

[0063] Although the mounting cavity 12 and the heating chamber 11 are separated, the heat generated by the first heating device 21 and the second heating device 31 during operation will inevitably be transferred to the interior of the mounting cavity 12. To reduce the temperature of the mounting cavity 12, in some embodiments, heat dissipation holes communicating with the mounting cavity 12 can be provided on the main body 1, allowing for passive heat dissipation. In some embodiments, forced cooling by a fan can be used to ensure that the temperature of the mounting cavity 12 does not become too high.

[0064] In this embodiment, please refer to Figure 2 The main body 1 is also provided with an air inlet 13, an air outlet 14, and a heat dissipation channel connecting the air inlet 13 and the air outlet 14. The heat dissipation channel passes through the mounting cavity 12. The cooking appliance 100 also includes a fan assembly 7 disposed within the heat dissipation channel. With this configuration, when the first electrical component 2 and the second electrical component 3 are working, the fan assembly 7 is activated, drawing in cold air from the outside through the heat dissipation channel. The heat dissipation, passing through the mounting cavity 12, removes the heat from the mounting cavity 12 and then discharges it through the air outlet 14. This reduces the possibility of burns to the user from the first operating part 5 and the second operating part 6, and also protects the electronic control device 4.

[0065] When the first heating device 21 and the second heating device 31 operate simultaneously, they are prone to mutual interference. Therefore, in a further embodiment, an upper cavity 15 is formed within the main body 1, located between the heating zone and the heating chamber 11. The second electrical component 3 is disposed within the upper cavity 15. The mounting cavity 12 communicates with the upper cavity 15. One of the air inlet 13 and the air outlet 14 communicates with the upper cavity 15, and the other communicates with the mounting cavity 12, so that the heat dissipation channel also passes through the upper cavity 15. With this configuration, since the heat dissipation channel also passes through the upper cavity 15, the fan assembly 7, when operating, can not only remove heat from the mounting cavity 12 but also from the upper cavity 15, thus dissipating heat from the second electrical component 3 and reducing heat accumulation.

[0066] When dissipating heat from the mounting cavity 12 and the upper cavity 15, the outside cold air can pass through the upper cavity 15 first or the mounting cavity 12 first. It is understood that the second heating device 31 in the second electrical component 3 generates heat when it is working, which will cause the temperature inside the upper cavity 15 to be much higher than the temperature inside the mounting cavity 12. If the cold air enters the upper cavity 15 first and then enters the mounting cavity 12, the air temperature will be relatively high, and the heat dissipation effect on the electronic control device 4 and the operating component will be relatively poor.

[0067] Therefore, in this embodiment of the present invention, the air inlet 13 is connected to the mounting cavity 12, and the air outlet 14 is connected to the upper cavity 15; the fan assembly 7 is disposed at the junction of the upper cavity 15 and the mounting cavity 12, the first fan has a first air inlet and a first air outlet, the first air outlet is connected to the upper cavity 15 and is oriented towards the second electrical component, and the first air inlet is connected to the mounting cavity 12. With this configuration, when the fan assembly 7 is started, it will first draw air into the mounting cavity 12 through the air inlet 13 to dissipate heat from the operating component and the electronic control device 4, and then enter the upper cavity 15 to dissipate heat from the second electrical component 3. Furthermore, the air temperature in the upper cavity 15 will not be very high. Thus, both the heat dissipation effect on the electronic control device 4 and the operating component and the heat dissipation effect on the second electrical component 3 can be maintained.

[0068] The fan assembly 7 can take many forms. It is understood that when the fan assembly 7 adopts an axial flow fan, in order for the first air outlet of the fan assembly 7 to face the second electrical device, the rotation axis of the axial flow fan needs to be placed in the horizontal direction. This will result in the fan assembly 7 occupying a larger size in the vertical direction, which will in turn make the overall cooking appliance 100 taller and waste space.

[0069] In an embodiment of this utility model, the fan assembly 7 includes a vortex fan with a rotation axis extending in the vertical direction. The first air outlet is located on the periphery of the vortex fan, and the first air inlet is located on the lower side of the vortex fan. In this way, the first assembly occupies a relatively smaller size in the vertical direction, saving space, and the overall space of the cooking appliance 100 is smaller.

[0070] Most conventional heating chambers 11 on the market currently use built-in stainless steel heating tubes to provide heating within the chamber. Some designs also install centrifugal fans at the back of the device to promote internal airflow, aiming to ensure a more uniform heating effect. However, these traditional solutions still have certain limitations. The airflow circulation provided by centrifugal fans is limited, and their airflow distribution is uneven, resulting in some areas having excessively high airflow speeds while others have excessively low airflow speeds. This can cause differences in the baking results of food in different locations, affecting the final cooking quality. In addition, if the centrifugal fan assembly is placed at the top of the heating chamber 11, it may create a significant airflow dead zone in the center of the food, causing the food in that area to not be fully heated or to have uneven coloring.

[0071] In embodiments of this utility model, to improve the uniformity of heating within the heating chamber 11, please refer to... Figure 2 and Figure 3 The mounting cavity 12 is horizontally divided into a first mounting cavity 121 and a second mounting cavity 122, with the second mounting cavity 122 located close to the heating chamber 11. The electronic control device 4 is located in the first mounting cavity 121. The first heating device 21 includes at least one heating element located within the heating chamber 11. An airflow driving device 8 is located within the second mounting cavity 122. The airflow driving device 8 has two air outlets, one of which is a second air inlet and the other is a second air outlet. The two air outlets of the airflow driving device 8 are connected to the heating chamber 11 to form a circulating airflow.

[0072] In this embodiment, the first heating device 21 includes at least one heating element disposed in the heating chamber 11. The heating element heats the airflow in the heating chamber 11 to form a hot airflow. The airflow driving device 8 drives the hot airflow through the heating chamber 11, which can heat the food placed in the heating chamber 11. The hot airflow can be continuously heated by the heating element and enters and exits from the two air vents to achieve airflow circulation. The continuous flow of hot airflow allows heat to be distributed more quickly and evenly inside the heating chamber 11 to heat the food, avoid overheating in some parts, and ensure that other parts also receive sufficient heat, so that the food is fully and evenly heated.

[0073] In a further embodiment, a heating plate 9 is also provided in the heating chamber 11. An upper air duct section 111 is formed in the area above the heating plate 9 in the heating chamber 11. A gap exists between the heating plate 9 and the bottom of the heating chamber 11 to form a lower air duct section 112. A connecting port 113 and a lower connecting port 114 are located on one side wall of the heating chamber 11. The upper connecting port 113 connects one end of the upper air duct section 111 and a second air outlet. The lower connecting port 114 connects one end of the lower air duct section 112 and a second air inlet. The other ends of the upper air duct section 111 and the lower air duct section 112 are connected.

[0074] In the technical solution of this embodiment, after the heating element heats the airflow in the heating chamber 11, the airflow driving device 8 draws the hot air into the second air inlet and then discharges it from the second air outlet through the upper connecting port 113 into the upper air duct section 111. This allows the hot airflow to pass evenly over the upper surface of the heating plate 9. As the hot airflow moves, it enters the lower air duct section 112 and passes evenly over the lower surface of the heating plate 9. Then, it is drawn into the second air inlet through the lower connecting port 114, completing the cycle. This ensures that the food is heated fully and evenly.

[0075] It is understood that the heating plate 9 is used to place food for heating. Since the space above the heating plate 9 forms the upper airflow section 111, and the gap between the heating plate 9 and the bottom of the heating chamber 11 forms the lower airflow section 112, the circulating airflow can pass evenly through all positions of the heating plate 9. Therefore, there is no need to add complex pipes or guide plates to construct airflow channels. Instead, by utilizing the structural characteristics of the heating plate 9 and the heating chamber 11 themselves, the heating plate 9 not only serves as a food support platform but also participates in the construction of the internal airflow path of the cooking appliance 100, simplifying the product structure and reducing manufacturing costs.

[0076] In this embodiment, the cooking appliance 100 can take many forms, including a grill or a griddle.

[0077] The grill is designed for simultaneous heating on both the top and bottom, making it suitable for quickly grilling food. It is suitable for grilling various foods such as steaks, hamburgers, sandwiches, and vegetables.

[0078] The aforementioned stove-oven is a composite kitchen appliance that integrates the functions of a stove and an oven. It is suitable for various cooking operations such as boiling, stir-frying, pan-frying, and grilling.

[0079] By integrating different types of heating methods into one device, users can choose the most suitable heating mode according to their specific cooking needs, saving time and space, while also improving the overall cooking experience and significantly reducing the number of devices required, thus saving space.
