Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of household appliance technology, and more specifically, to a chassis structure with storage function and a cooking device. Background Technology

[0002] As a core device for quickly heating food in modern households, the microwave oven relies on the high-frequency microwaves (usually 2.45 GHz) generated by the magnetron to excite the intense vibration and friction of molecules (especially water molecules) inside the food, thereby achieving efficient heat energy conversion.

[0003] Paper instruction manuals are typically placed inside the oven cavity or in the outer packaging at the factory. Users need to keep these manuals themselves, which can easily lead to their loss and affect the user experience. Although some manufacturers have attempted to alleviate this problem with electronic documents (such as providing online PDF versions), users still need to actively download and save the files, which is a relatively high barrier to entry and lacks a direct connection to the microwave oven itself, making it difficult to meet the need for "instant access." Therefore, there is an urgent need for a microwave oven that can be stored for a long time and is easy to use. Utility Model Content

[0004] The problem solved by this invention is that existing cooking equipment cannot effectively preserve menu instructions, resulting in a poor user experience.

[0005] To address the aforementioned issues, this utility model provides a chassis structure with storage function for cooking equipment. The cooking equipment includes a chassis, with a first protective component and a second protective component respectively disposed on both sides of the chassis. The first and second protective components cooperate to form an installation space, which is located below the chassis. The chassis structure with storage function also includes a storage component, which is removable and assembled into the installation space with a gap between it and the chassis, for placing paper menus.

[0006] This design creates a dedicated storage space for paper menus within the chassis structure, avoiding the problems of loss or creases caused by carelessly placing paper menus in the traditional way. It is especially suitable for scenarios where recipes need to be frequently consulted (such as microwave ovens and ovens). The storage function is achieved by utilizing the redundant gap between the chassis and the storage unit, without adding extra size to the equipment or external accessories, keeping the appearance of the cooking equipment simple.

[0007] Preferably, the first protective component and / or the second protective component are connected to the chassis by screws and / or snap-fit ​​connections, or the first protective component and / or the second protective component are integrally formed with the chassis. This configuration has a simple structure, enables quick assembly and disassembly of the first and second protective components, and is easy to manufacture.

[0008] Preferably, one of the chassis and the first protective component is provided with at least one fixing hole, and the other of the chassis and the first protective component is provided with an mounting hole, and the fixing hole and the mounting hole are connected by screws; one of the chassis and the first protective component is provided with at least one positioning hole, and the other of the chassis and the first protective component is provided with a positioning post, and the positioning post is inserted into the positioning hole.

[0009] This design achieves pre-positioning before screw tightening by interlocking the positioning pins and positioning holes, ensuring that the first protective component is fully aligned with the holes in the chassis, thus avoiding assembly stress or slide deformation caused by misalignment. In addition, the synergistic effect of the screw connection and the positioning pins forms a "point-to-surface" composite fixation, dispersing shear force and torsional load, and improving the fatigue resistance of the slide structure when frequently pulling out and storing components.

[0010] Preferably, the chassis portion protrudes downward to form a first boss, and the first boss portion protrudes downward to form a second boss. The first protective component includes a first protective plate and a second protective plate connected together, with the first and second protective plates respectively abutting against the bottom and side of the first boss. This arrangement provides assembly space for the first and second protective components, ensuring that the first and second protective components do not protrude from the chassis after assembly, resulting in an aesthetically pleasing overall appearance.

[0011] Preferably, the second guard plate protrudes to the side away from the chassis to form a first leg and a second leg, the first leg and the second leg being spaced apart from each other and higher than the second protrusion.

[0012] This design provides overall support for the cooking equipment, while the gap beneath the base allows for airflow for heat dissipation. It also raises the gap between the bottom of the base and the countertop, preventing water or oil from directly contacting the second protrusion and reducing dust accumulation below the air inlet. The first leg, second leg, and second guard plate are integrally formed by stamping or injection molding, reducing welding / bonding processes, lowering manufacturing costs, and improving structural consistency.

[0013] Preferably, the first protective component includes a first protective plate and a second protective plate connected together. The second protective plate has a groove on the side away from the first protective plate, and the storage component is slidably assembled into the groove. A protrusion is provided at the rear end of the groove, and a first snap-fit ​​part is provided at the position corresponding to the protrusion on the storage component. The first snap-fit ​​part is snap-fitted and assembled with the protrusion.

[0014] After the storage unit slides a certain distance along the slide, the engagement between the protrusion and the first locking part provides clear tactile feedback (such as a "click" sound); effectively preventing accidental slippage caused by vibration of the cooking equipment or accidental touch, ensuring that the paper menu is stored stably during cooking; the slide and the protrusion are integrated into the side of the second guard plate, without taking up additional internal space of the equipment, ensuring that the capacity of the storage unit is maximized.

[0015] Preferably, the chassis portion protrudes downward to form a first boss, and the first boss portion is recessed upward to form a clearance portion. The clearance portion has a protrusion, and the storage component has a second snap-fit ​​portion at a position corresponding to the protrusion. The second snap-fit ​​portion engages with the protrusion. This arrangement, together with the first snap-fit ​​portion, forms a multi-point engagement, improving the tightness and convenience of assembling the storage component.

[0016] Preferably, the chassis structure with storage function further includes a water box, with buckles on both sides of the water box, and snap-fit ​​posts on the side of the first and second protective components near the water box, allowing the buckles to snap into the snap-fit ​​posts. This design ensures that the storage components and the water box do not interfere with each other, facilitating user operation; simultaneously, the water box collects condensate generated during the pre-cooling of the door assembly, preventing it from flowing freely, thus providing a better user experience.

[0017] Preferably, a second handle is provided on the front side of the storage component, and the bottom portion of the water tank is recessed upward to form a clearance area for accommodating the second handle. The buckles are located on both sides of the clearance area. This arrangement makes the chassis structure more compact and avoids interference between the water tank and the sliding of the storage component, facilitating user operation.

[0018] Compared with the prior art, the chassis structure with storage function described in this utility model embodiment has the following beneficial effects: 1) It forms a space at the bottom of the cooking equipment for storing paper menus, avoiding the problems of loss or wrinkling caused by the random placement of paper menus in the traditional method, which is especially suitable for scenarios where recipes need to be frequently consulted; 2) The installation space is formed by the first protective component and the second protective component, which can not only protect the cooking equipment, especially the cooking equipment with grilling function, but also facilitate the assembly of the storage component. The overall structure is compact, ensuring that the paper menu is always inseparable from the cooking equipment, meeting the user's need for "checking on demand"; 3) The first protective component and the second protective component can also be used for the limiting installation of the water box. The water box can collect the condensate generated by the door component when it is cold, preventing it from flowing arbitrarily, which improves the user experience.

[0019] This utility model also provides a cooking device, including a cooking cavity and the aforementioned tray structure with storage function. The cooking device has the same beneficial effects as the tray structure with storage function, and will not be described in detail here.

[0020] Preferably, a first magnetron and a second magnetron are disposed between the bottom of the cooking cavity and the chassis. The first magnetron and the second magnetron emit microwaves from the bottom and rear of the cooking cavity, respectively. A door assembly is disposed on the front side of the cooking cavity. The chassis structure with storage function includes a water box, and the water box is disposed directly below the door assembly.

[0021] This setup reduces the ineffective heat loss caused by a single magnetron operating at high load continuously by having the first and second magnetrons work alternately, thus avoiding the problem of prolonged heating time caused by power decay in traditional single-tube microwave ovens. The water tank collects the condensate generated when the door assembly cools down, preventing it from flowing freely and providing a better user experience.

[0022] Preferably, the bottom of the chassis is provided with a first air inlet, the side of the chassis is provided with a second air inlet, the first protective component and / or the second protective component is provided with a first ventilation hole, and the storage component is provided with a second ventilation hole.

[0023] This setup, by incorporating multiple air intake structures in the chassis and ventilation structures in the first and / or second protective components and the storage component, accelerates the flow of air into the chassis 11 from different directions. Combined with the exhaust system of the cooking equipment, it can quickly remove heat from core components such as the magnetron and circuit board, preventing high temperatures from affecting the preservation of paper menus or the lifespan of electronic components.

Detailed Implementation

[0032] To make the above-mentioned objectives, features, and advantages of this utility model more apparent and understandable, specific embodiments of this utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Without conflict, the technical features of the embodiments of this utility model can be combined with each other.

[0033] In the description of this utility model, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "joining" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0034] In the description of this specification, the references to terms such as "one embodiment," "some embodiments," "illustrative embodiment," "example," "specific example," or "some examples," etc., indicate that a specific feature, structure, material, or characteristic described in connection with that embodiment or example is included in at least one embodiment or example of the present invention. In this specification, the illustrative expressions of the above terms do not necessarily refer to the same embodiment or example. Furthermore, the specific features, structures, materials, or characteristics described may be combined in any suitable manner in one or more embodiments or examples.

[0035] Microwave ovens, as common household appliances, are popular due to their convenience, speed, and ease of operation. However, the paper menus and instruction manuals usually included with the microwave oven require users to keep them, which not only requires extra space but also separates the menu from the microwave, significantly reducing its accessibility and resulting in a poor user experience. Therefore, the applicant proposes the following technical solution:

[0036] like Figure 1-6As shown, a chassis structure with storage function is used for cooking equipment. The cooking equipment includes a chassis 11. A first protective member 2 and a second protective member 3 are respectively provided on both sides of the chassis 11. The first protective member 2 and the second protective member 3 cooperate with each other to form a slide. The chassis structure with storage function also includes a storage member 4 that slides back and forth along the slide. There is a gap between the storage member 4 and the chassis 11 for placing a paper menu 7.

[0037] This design creates a dedicated storage space for the paper menu 7 within the chassis structure, avoiding the problems of loss or wrinkling caused by careless placement of the paper menu 7 in traditional methods. It is particularly suitable for scenarios requiring frequent recipe consultation (such as microwave ovens and ovens). The storage function is achieved by utilizing the redundant gap between the chassis 11 and the storage component 4, eliminating the need for additional equipment volume or external accessories and maintaining a clean appearance of the cooking equipment. The chassis 11 is part of the housing 1 of the cooking equipment; the remaining parts of the housing 1 are existing technologies and will not be described further here.

[0038] As a preferred example, the chassis 11 partially protrudes downward to form a first boss 111, and the first boss 111 partially protrudes downward to form a second boss 112. The first protective member 2 and the second protective member 3 are respectively fixedly disposed on both sides of the first boss 111. This arrangement provides assembly space for the first protective member 2 and the second protective member 3, ensuring that the first protective member 2 and the second protective member 3 do not protrude from the chassis 11 after assembly, resulting in an aesthetically pleasing overall appearance.

[0039] As an example of this utility model, the bottom and side of the first boss 111 are respectively provided with a first air inlet 113 and a second air inlet 118, and the first protective member 2 includes a first protective plate 21 and a second protective plate 22 connected to each other, and the first protective plate 21 and the second protective plate 22 respectively abut against the bottom and side of the first boss 111.

[0040] This design utilizes the first protective component 2 to protect both the bottom and sides of the chassis 11, while concealing the air inlet to maintain the clean appearance of the cooking equipment. It also effectively prevents the air intake of the chassis 11 from being blocked by foreign objects, which is beneficial for the heat dissipation of the electrical components at the bottom. The first air inlet 113 and the second air inlet 118 form a three-dimensional air intake channel, accelerating the flow of air into the chassis 11 from different directions. Combined with the exhaust system of the cooking equipment, it can quickly remove the heat from core components such as the magnetron and circuit board, preventing high temperatures from affecting the preservation of the paper menu 7 or the lifespan of electronic components.

[0041] As a preferred example, the chassis 11 is provided with a positioning hole 116, and the first protective member 2 is provided with a positioning post 212, which is inserted into the positioning hole 116; the chassis 11 is also provided with a fixing hole 117, and the first protective member 2 is provided with a mounting hole 224 at a position corresponding to the fixing hole 117, and the fixing hole 117 and the mounting hole 224 are connected by screws.

[0042] As a preferred example, the bottom portion of the second guard plate 22 protrudes to form a first leg 222 and a second leg 226, which are spaced apart from each other and positioned higher than the second protrusion 112. This arrangement provides overall support for the cooking equipment, while the gap below the chassis 11 facilitates airflow into the chassis 11 for heat dissipation. It also raises the gap between the bottom of the chassis 11 and the countertop, preventing water or oil stains from directly contacting the second protrusion 112 and reducing dust accumulation below the air inlet. The first leg 222, the second leg 226, and the second guard plate 22 are integrally formed by stamping or injection molding, reducing welding / bonding processes, lowering manufacturing costs, and improving structural consistency.

[0043] Preferably, the second protective plate 22 is provided with a plurality of first ventilation holes 221. This arrangement can reduce the weight of the second protective plate 22, and at the same time facilitate the entry of outside air into the chassis 11, effectively reducing the impact of the first protective component 2 on the heat dissipation of the components inside the chassis 11.

[0044] As an example of this utility model, the first guard plate 21 is partially recessed upwards to form a first handle 211 for easy handling. As an example of this utility model, the second guard plate 22 has an abutment block 223 on the side near the second boss 112, and the abutment block 223 abuts against the second boss 112. This arrangement can limit the assembly of the first protective member 2, and at the same time, the force of the first protective member 2 is transmitted to the chassis 11, resulting in a long service life.

[0045] Preferably, the second guard plate 22 is provided with a groove 227 on the side away from the first guard plate 21, and a protrusion 228 is provided at the rear end of the groove 227. The side of the storage component 4 is provided with a first snap-fit ​​part 43, and the first snap-fit ​​part 43 is snap-fitted and assembled with the protrusion 228.

[0046] When the storage component 4 slides a certain distance along the slide groove 227, the engagement between the protrusion 228 and the first locking part 43 provides clear tactile feedback (such as a "click" sound); effectively preventing accidental slippage caused by vibration of the cooking equipment or accidental touch, ensuring that the paper menu 7 is stably stored during cooking; the slide groove 227 and the protrusion 228 are integrated into the side of the second guard plate 22, without occupying additional internal space of the equipment, ensuring that the capacity of the storage component 4 is maximized. As an example of this utility model, the first locking part 43 is formed by bending the side portion of the storage component 4 to one side. The installation method of the second protective component 3 is the same as that of the first protective component 2, and its structure can be the same as that of the first protective component 2, or it can be adjusted according to the specific shape of the chassis 11, which will not be described in detail here.

[0047] As an example of this utility model, the first boss 111 is partially recessed to form a relief portion 114, the relief portion 114 is provided with a protrusion 115, and the upper part of the storage member 4 is provided with a second snap-fit ​​portion 44 corresponding to the protrusion 115, the second snap-fit ​​portion 44 is snap-fitted and assembled with the protrusion 115.

[0048] This setting, in conjunction with the first snap-fit ​​part 43, forms a multi-point fit, improving the tightness and convenience of assembling the storage part 4.

[0049] As an example of the present invention, the storage component 4 forms a second handle portion 42 on the side away from the second latching portion 44, and the storage component 4 has a portion recessed downward on the side near the chassis 11 to form a receiving portion 45 for holding a paper menu 7. This arrangement facilitates the user to pull the storage component 4 out from the bottom of the chassis 11. The storage component 4 is provided with a second ventilation hole 41, which is located on the front and rear sides of the receiving portion 45. This arrangement can reduce weight and save materials; at the same time, it can allow air to enter the chassis 11 more smoothly, which is beneficial to the heat dissipation of components.

[0050] As another example of this utility model, the chassis structure with storage function also includes a water box 5. The water box 5 is partially recessed to form a clearance area 51, used to avoid the second handle 42. The second guard plate 22 has a locking post 225 on the side away from the first support leg 222. The water box 5 has a buckle 52, which can be locked onto the locking post 225. This arrangement ensures that the storage component 4 and the water box 5 do not interfere with each other, facilitating user operation. Simultaneously, the water box 5 can collect the condensate generated during the pre-cooling of the door assembly 6, preventing it from flowing freely, thus improving the user experience. Preferably, the locking post 225 and the second support leg 226 are coaxially arranged. This arrangement improves the strength of the second support leg 226 and facilitates demolding operations.

[0051] During assembly, firstly, the first protective component 2 and the second protective component 3 are inserted into the positioning hole 116 via the positioning post 212. Then, the mounting hole 224 and the fixing hole 117 are connected with screws. Next, the water box 5 is fitted with the snap-fit ​​posts 225 of the first protective component 2 and the second protective component 3 via the snap-fit ​​posts 52 on both sides. Finally, the storage component 4, on which the paper menu 7 is placed, slides forward along the sliding grooves 227 of the first protective component 2 and the second protective component 3 on both sides, and is fitted with the first snap-fit ​​parts 43 on both sides via the first protective component 2 and the second protective component 3 via the second snap-fit ​​parts 44. At the same time, the second snap-fit ​​parts 44 are fitted with the chassis 11. The second handle part 42 of the storage component 4 is accommodated in the clearance area 51 of the water box 5, providing support for the water box 5. The assembly order of the storage component 4 and the water box 5 can also be adjusted.

[0052] A cooking device includes a door assembly 6 and the aforementioned storage-functional chassis structure, with a water tank 5 located directly below the door assembly 6. The cooking device includes a microwave oven, a steam oven, etc. Preferably, the cooking device includes a cooking cavity disposed above the chassis 11, with a first magnetron and a second magnetron disposed at the bottom of the cooking cavity, and the chassis 11 having a first air inlet 113 and a second air inlet 118. The cooking device has the same beneficial effects as the storage-functional chassis structure, which will not be elaborated further here.

[0053] While the present invention has been disclosed above, it is not limited thereto. Any person skilled in the art can make various modifications and alterations without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention; therefore, the scope of protection of the present invention should be determined by the scope defined in the claims.
