Detailed Implementation

[0022] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present invention, the technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort should fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0023] It should be noted that the terms "first," "second," etc., in the specification, claims, and accompanying drawings of this utility model are used to distinguish similar objects and are not necessarily used to describe a specific order or sequence. The terms "vertical," "upper," "lower," "horizontal," etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation; therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model.

[0024] Reference Figures 1 to 4As shown, this utility model discloses a foldable cooking device, including a first cooking area 100 and a second cooking area 200. Multiple second cooking areas 200 are provided, and are disposed outside the first cooking area 100. The shape of the inner wall of the multiple second cooking areas 200 corresponds to the shape of the outer wall of the first cooking area 100. The multiple second cooking areas 200 are hinged to the first cooking area 100. The multiple second cooking areas 200 include a folded state and an unfolded state. The first cooking area 100 and the second cooking area 200 are respectively electrically connected to a controller 300. When the second cooking zone 200 is in the unfolded state, the first cooking zone 100 and the second cooking zone 200 can cook food simultaneously or individually. When the second cooking zone 200 is in the folded state, it does not affect the cooking of food by the first cooking zone 100. If the second cooking zone 200 is powered on, it heats the food between the two zones, reducing heat loss and improving cooking efficiency. If the second cooking zone 200 is powered off, it facilitates the storage of the cooking device, reducing space occupation and improving ease of use. By setting up a first cooking zone 100 and multiple second cooking zones 200, various cooking methods can be used to cook food, improving ease of use and reducing space occupation.

[0025] Multiple second cooking zones 200 are arranged circumferentially along the first cooking zone 100. This reduces space occupation and improves ease of use. The multiple second cooking zones 200 may have the same or different shapes. For example, when there are three second cooking zones 200, one of them is semi-circular, and the remaining two are fan-shaped. The curvature of the two fan shapes may be equal or unequal. When the curvature of the two fan shapes is equal, the curvature of the fan shape is 90°. This satisfies the cooking needs of different types of food and allows for folding and storage, further improving ease of use.

[0026] The second cooking zone 200 has an even number of units, and the second cooking zones 200 are symmetrically arranged along the first cooking zone 100, which can not only meet the needs of cooking food in multiple ways, but also facilitate folding. There can be two or four second cooking zones 200. When there are multiple second cooking zones 200, each second cooking zone 200 can be arranged in a fan shape.

[0027] In this embodiment, the first cooking area 100 includes a panel 101, a heating plate 102, and a central base 103. The central base 103 is installed below the panel 101, and the heating plate 102 is located within the installation space formed by the panel 101 and the central base 103. The heating plate 102 can be an electromagnetic heating plate or a conventional heating plate. When the heating plate 102 is an electromagnetic heating plate, a steaming pot is placed on the panel 101 to steam or cook food. When the heating plate 102 is a conventional heating plate, food is placed directly on the panel 101 for grilling or frying.

[0028] Multiple detachable support feet 104 are installed below the intermediate base 103. In this embodiment, there are three support feet 104. The support feet 104 support the first cooking area 100 to a certain height, improving the convenience of picking up and putting down.

[0029] In this embodiment, two second cooking zones 200 are symmetrically arranged along the first cooking zone 100. Each second cooking zone 200 includes a baking pan 201, a heating element 202, and a base 203. The baking pan 201 is mounted on the base 203, and the heating element 202 is located between the baking pan 201 and the base 203. Food is placed on the baking pan 201 to achieve grilling or frying. The two baking pans allow for simultaneous cooking of two different foods, improving cooking efficiency, reducing the number of devices required, and saving costs.

[0030] Furthermore, the upper surface of the baking pan 201 is provided with a recessed grilling groove, the shape of which corresponds to the shape of the baking pan 201. Placing food in the grilling groove helps to position and store the food, preventing food or oil droplets from falling onto the table and improving the ease of cleaning.

[0031] In this embodiment, the first cooking area 100 is circular, and the two baking pans 201 are semi-circular. The overall shape of the heating element 202 corresponds to the shape of the baking pans 201, ensuring effective heating of the food on the baking pans 201. The semi-circular baking pans 201 not only ensure sufficient cooking area for the food but also facilitate storage, improving ease of use.

[0032] Furthermore, a pivot 105 is installed at both ends of the first cooking zone 100. One end of the second cooking zone 200 has multiple lugs 205, specifically, lugs 205 are mounted on the baking tray 201. The other end of the second cooking zone 200 has multiple lugs 206, specifically, lugs 206 are mounted on another baking tray 201. The lugs 205 and 206 are staggered. The pivot 105 is inserted into the lugs 205 and 206. The base 203 has multiple grooves 207, which correspond to the lugs 205 and 206. The pivot 105 ensures the connection between the first cooking zone 100 and the second cooking zone 200, while also accommodating the folding structure between the two second cooking zones 200; it ensures the stability when folding the baking tray 201, facilitates folding the two baking trays 201 together, and has a simple structure and is easy to operate.

[0033] A detachable bracket 204 is installed below the base 203 to support the baking tray 201 at a certain height, improving the convenience of taking it out and putting it away. When the cooking equipment is in a power-off state and is being stored, the bracket 204 can be removed to further reduce the space occupied. The bracket 204 can be connected by a threaded connection, a magnetic connection, or an interference fit snap-fit.

[0034] In an optional embodiment, the first cooking zone 100 is polygonal, and the inner wall shape of the second cooking zone 200 corresponds to the outer wall shape of the first cooking zone 100, which can also realize the function of cooking a variety of foods.

[0035] In an optional embodiment, the first cooking area 100 is circular, and the second cooking area 200 is polygonal, such as a quadrilateral missing a corner. The missing corner is adjacent to the first cooking area 100 and is arc-shaped, which further increases the cooking area of ​​the food and meets the cooking needs of various foods.

[0036] In an optional implementation, the first cooking zone 100 is circular, and there are two second cooking zones 200, each of which is arranged in a fan shape with an arc of 90°. The two second cooking zones 200 can be unfolded or folded to meet the cooking needs of small portions of food and further reduce the floor space.

[0037] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
