The terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of indicated technical features. Thus, a feature defined with "first" and "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature. Moreover, the terms "first," "second," etc., are used to distinguish similar objects and are not necessarily used to describe a specific order or sequence.

[0039] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, this application provides a cooking device, which includes a cover 1, a cooking cavity 2, a lifting assembly 3, and a sealing assembly 4. The cover 1 can be a top cover structure or a side cover structure of the cooking device, and the cooking cavity 2 is a cavity for placing and cooking food. After cooking, the food located in the cooking cavity 2 can be taken out by opening the cover 1.

[0040] Optionally, the cover 1 can be positioned to close over the opening of the cooking cavity 2. The cover 1 can be rotatably connected to the cooking cavity 2, and can rotate relative to the cooking cavity 2, thereby opening and closing the cover 1. A lifting assembly 3 can be positioned between the cover 1 and the cooking cavity 2, and the lifting assembly 3 is connected to the cover 1. One end of the lifting assembly 3 can be fixedly connected to the cover 1, and the other end of the lifting assembly 3 can face the cooking cavity 2.

[0041] Optionally, the sealing component 4 may be disposed around the side wall of the lifting component 3.

[0042] During the cooking process of the cooking device, the lifting assembly 3 and the sealing assembly 4 can move up and down along the inner wall of the cooking cavity 2. Specifically, when the cooking device is placed horizontally and the inner wall of the cooking cavity 2 is vertical, the lifting assembly 3 and the sealing assembly 4 can move up and down vertically. The sealing assembly 4 can form a first sealing cavity with the cover 1 and the lifting assembly 3, or it can form a first sealing cavity with the cover 1, the upper part of the cooking cavity 2, and the lifting assembly 3. The sealing assembly 4 can also form a second sealing cavity with the lower part of the cooking cavity 2 and the lifting assembly 3.

[0043] Specifically, when the lifting assembly 3 is raised above the top of the cooking chamber 2, the sealing assembly 4, together with the cover 1 and the lifting assembly 3, forms a first sealed cavity. When the lifting assembly 3 is raised below the top of the cooking chamber 2, the sealing assembly 4, together with the cover 1, the upper part of the cooking chamber 2, and the lifting assembly 3, forms a first sealed cavity.

[0044] Therefore, during the cooking process in the cooking chamber 2, the mechanical devices of the cooking apparatus, including the transmission structure of the lifting component 3, and the circuitry of the cooking apparatus, such as the circuit board, can all be housed within the first sealed chamber. This prevents moisture or external impurities generated during cooking from causing damage to the mechanical devices, including the lifting component 3, and the circuitry of the cooking apparatus. Moisture generated during the cooking process can be sealed within the second sealed chamber, preventing it from escaping from the cooking chamber 2 and spreading outside the cooking apparatus.

[0045] Since the second sealing cavity can prevent moisture from escaping from the cooking cavity 2, the first sealing cavity provides further protection for the mechanical devices of the cooking device, including the lifting assembly 3, and the circuit structure of the cooking device, such as the circuit board.

[0046] In one possible embodiment, the sealing assembly 4 includes a first sealing structure 41 and a second sealing structure 42. The first sealing structure 41 can be a one-piece seal or it can include multiple separate seals. The second sealing structure 42 can be a one-piece seal or it can include multiple separate seals. The first sealing structure 41 is disposed adjacent to the cover 1, and the second sealing structure 42 is disposed adjacent to the cooking cavity 2.

[0047] Therefore, the first sealing structure 41 can be used to form a first sealing cavity together with the cover 1 and the lifting assembly 3, or the first sealing structure 41 can be used to form a first sealing cavity together with the cover 1, the upper part of the cooking cavity 2, and the lifting assembly 3. The second sealing structure 42 can be used to form a second sealing cavity together with the lower part of the cooking cavity 2 and the lifting assembly 3.

[0048] In one possible embodiment, the first sealing structure 41 includes at least one first sealing member 411 fixedly disposed on the side wall of the lifting assembly 3. During the cooking process of the cooking device, when at least one first sealing member 411 is raised above the top of the cooking chamber 2, the at least one first sealing member 411 forms a first sealing cavity with the cover 1 and the lifting assembly 3. When at least one first sealing member 411 is raised below the top of the cooking chamber 2, the first sealing structure 41 forms a first sealing cavity with the cover 1, the upper part of the cooking chamber 2, and the lifting assembly 3.

[0049] Therefore, during the use of the cooking cavity 2, the mechanical devices of the cooking device, including the lifting assembly 3, and the circuit structure such as the circuit board of the cooking device can be sealed and protected through the first sealing cavity.

[0050] In one possible embodiment, each first seal 411 includes at least one protrusion 412. During the cooking process of the cooking device, the protrusion 412 of the first seal 411 abuts against the inner wall of the cover 1 or the cooking cavity 2, thereby eliminating the gap between the lifting assembly 3 and the inner wall of the cover 1 or the cooking cavity 2, and achieving a sealing effect.

[0051] In one possible embodiment, each first seal 411 includes three parallel raised structures 412. All three raised structures 412 are used to eliminate gaps between the lifting assembly 3 and the cover 1 or cooking cavity 2 to achieve a seal. The first seal 411 composed of three raised structures 412 has a better sealing effect.

[0052] In one possible embodiment, the second sealing structure 42 includes at least one second seal 421 fixedly disposed on the side wall of the lifting assembly 3. During the cooking process of the cooking device, at least one second seal 421 is used to form a second sealing cavity with the lower part of the cooking cavity 2 and the lifting assembly 3.

[0053] Therefore, during the cooking process of the food in the cooking chamber 2, the food and the oil fumes and water vapor generated during the cooking process are sealed in the second sealed cavity formed by the lower part of the cooking chamber 2, the lifting component 3 and the second sealing element 421.

[0054] In one possible embodiment, the second sealing structure 42 includes a second sealing member 421, which is an annular structure surrounding the side wall of the lifting assembly 3, and the outer wall of the second sealing member 421 abuts against the inner wall of the cooking cavity 2, thereby forming a sealing effect of the second sealing cavity.

[0055] In one possible embodiment, each second seal 421 includes at least one protrusion 412. During the cooking process of the cooking device, the protrusion 412 of the second seal 421 abuts against the inner wall of the cover 1 or the cooking cavity 2, thereby eliminating the gap between the lifting assembly 3 and the inner wall of the cover 1 or the cooking cavity 2 to achieve a sealing effect.

[0056] In one possible embodiment, each second seal 421 includes three parallel raised structures 412. All three raised structures 412 are used to eliminate gaps between the lifting assembly 3 and the cover 1 or cooking cavity 2 to achieve a seal, and the first seal 411 composed of the three raised structures 412 has a better sealing effect.

[0057] In one possible embodiment, both the first sealing structure 41 and the second sealing structure 42 are made of elastic materials such as rubber, silicone, or resin. The first sealing structure 41 and the second sealing structure 42, made of elastic materials such as rubber, silicone, or resin, can make close contact with the inner wall of the lid 1 or the cooking cavity 2, thereby achieving a good sealing effect.

[0058] In one possible embodiment, the lifting assembly 3 includes a lifting drive assembly 31 and a heating plate 32, with the lifting drive assembly 31 disposed between the heating plate 32 and the cover 1. The lifting drive assembly 31 is used to drive the heating plate 32 and the sealing assembly 4 to move up and down, and the lifting drive assembly 31 is located within the first sealing cavity.

[0059] During the use of the cooking cavity 2, the heating plate 32 is used to heat the food inside the cooking cavity 2. The lifting drive assembly 31 drives the heating plate 32 and the sealing assembly 4 to rise and fall, thereby adjusting the distance between the heating plate 32 and the food. The lifting drive assembly 31 is located inside the first sealing cavity, thus providing sealing protection for the mechanical structure of the lifting drive assembly 31. The sealing assembly 4 can be installed on the lifting drive assembly 31 or on the heating plate 32.

[0060] The following is a description of the working principle of one embodiment of this application:

[0061] When the operator uses the cooking device of this application to cook ingredients including steak, the heating plate 32 of the cooking device can be raised and lowered via the lifting component 3. During this process, the sealing component 4 and the lifting component 3 always move up and down along the inner wall of the cooking cavity 2. When the sealing component 4 is raised above the top of the cooking cavity 2, the sealing component 4 and the cover 1, i.e., the lifting component 3, form a first sealed cavity. When the sealing component 4 is raised below the top of the cooking cavity 2, the sealing component 4, together with the cover 1, the upper part of the cooking cavity 2, and the lifting component 3, forms the first sealed cavity. The sealing component 4 always forms a second sealed cavity with the lower part of the cooking cavity 2 and the lifting component 3.
