[0002] As people's living standards improve, consumers also have higher demands for the functionality of cooking equipment, and are more inclined to pursue multifunctional integrated cooking equipment, requiring cooking equipment to integrate functions such as microwave, baking, steaming and cooking. Common examples include microwave-steam ovens.

[0003] Microwave ovens are typically installed in sideboards or cabinets. A door assembly is located on the front of the oven, allowing for easy opening and closing of the cooking chamber and facilitating food access. The rear of the oven (on the back panel opposite the door assembly) usually has a steam vent, through which steam generated during cooking is expelled from the cooking chamber. However, existing technology has the following drawbacks: because the microwave oven is embedded in the sideboard or cabinet, and the vent is located at the rear, steam directly entering the cabinet can damage the cabinetry due to fumes. Furthermore, prolonged steam discharge from the rear makes this hidden area difficult to clean, increasing the risk of bacterial growth. Utility Model Content

[0036] The embodiments of this utility model are described in detail below. Examples of the embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain this utility model, and should not be construed as limiting this utility model.

[0037] Reference Figures 1 to 6 As shown, the cooking device of this utility model embodiment is a device that generates steam during the cooking process, such as a microwave oven, steamer, oven, microwave oven, etc. The cooking device of this utility model embodiment includes a cooking chamber 1, an exhaust assembly 2, and a door 3. The cooking chamber 1 is hollow inside to form a cooking chamber 10. The cooking chamber 1 has a front panel 11 with an opening communicating with the cooking chamber 10. The exhaust assembly 2 includes an exhaust box 21 and an exhaust pipe 22. The exhaust box 21 is disposed on the front panel 11 and located on one side of the opening. The exhaust box 21 is hollow inside to form a gas storage chamber (not shown in the figure). The exhaust box 21 is provided with an exhaust hole 210 communicating with the gas storage chamber. One end of the exhaust pipe 22 communicates with the gas storage chamber, and the other end of the exhaust pipe 22 communicates with the cooking chamber 10. The door 3 is disposed on the front panel 11 and selectively blocks the opening. The door 3 has an avoidance notch 31. The exhaust box 21 is located inside the avoidance notch 31, and the exhaust hole 210 is exposed outside the door 3.

[0038] In this embodiment, the cooking device has an exhaust box 21 installed on the front panel 11 with an avoidance notch 31 corresponding to the cabinet door 3. Steam inside the cooking cabinet 1 enters the exhaust box 21 through the exhaust pipe 22 and then exits from the location of the cabinet door 3 through the exhaust box 21. This prevents steam from escaping from inside the cabinet where the cooking device is installed, thus preventing steam from fumigating the cabinet and extending its service life. In addition, the exposed exhaust box 21 and exhaust hole 210 are easy to clean and prevent bacterial growth.

[0039] like Figures 1 to 6As shown, in one embodiment, the cooking cabinet 1 has a hexahedral structure. A back panel 16 is provided on the cooking cabinet 1 opposite the front panel 11. The front panel 11 and the back panel 16 are connected by a cylindrical structure with a rectangular cross-section. The cylindrical structure includes a top panel 12, a first side panel 13, a bottom panel 14, and a second side panel 15 connected in sequence. The top panel 12 and the bottom panel 14 are arranged opposite each other and are located on the upper and lower sides of the cooking cabinet 1 in the vertical direction, respectively. The first side panel 13 and the second side panel 15 are arranged opposite each other and are located on the left and right sides of the cooking cabinet 1 in the horizontal direction, respectively (taking the angle of the operator facing the opening of the cooking cabinet 1 as an example of the front-back and left-right directions).

[0040] In this embodiment, the front panel 11 is rectangular, and the exhaust box 21 is located near the corner of the front panel 11, while the notch 31 is located at the corner of the door 3. By placing the exhaust box 21 at the corner, it does not occupy space in other parts of the front panel 11, and the exhaust at the corner also avoids steam burns to the operator.

[0041] In other embodiments, the cooking cabinet 1 is not limited to a hexahedral structure, and the shape of the front panel 11 is not limited to a rectangle, but can also be other shapes. In this case, the exhaust box 21 can also be provided on the front panel 11. It is only necessary to recess the door 3 corresponding to the exhaust box 21 to avoid the notch 31, and expose the exhaust hole 210 of the exhaust box 21 on the door 3.

[0042] In addition, the cooking cabinet 1 is made of metal sheet. Specifically, the cylindrical structure of the cooking cabinet 1 is formed by bending the metal sheet in one piece to form a rectangular cross-section. Then, the joint position is welded and fixed by welding. The front plate 11 and the back plate 16 are then welded to both ends of the cylindrical structure.

[0043] In a preferred embodiment of this invention, one exhaust box 21 is provided, located at the upper left corner of the front panel 11, that is, adjacent to the corner where the first side panel 13 and the top panel 12 connect. By placing the exhaust box 21 at the upper corner, steam can be discharged upwards, preventing steam from directly hitting the ground, wetting the ground and causing slipperiness, thus improving safety. The number of exhaust boxes 21 is not limited to one; there can be two or more, for example, one exhaust box 21 can be provided at each of the two upper left and right corners of the front panel 11.

[0044] In this embodiment, the door 3 is connected to the lower side of the front panel 11 via a hinge 4. By positioning the exhaust box 21 away from the hinge point between the door 3 and the front panel 11, interference between the exhaust box 21 and the hinge point is avoided, facilitating the disassembly and cleaning of the exhaust box 21. In other embodiments, the position of the hinge 4 is not limited to the lower side of the front panel 11; it can also be positioned on the left side, right side, or even the upper side, depending on the opening direction and requirements.

[0045] The exhaust box 21 is not limited to being located opposite the hinge 4; it can also be located on the side of the front panel 11 where the hinge 4 is located, or directly on the same side as the hinge 4, as shown in the reference. Figure 1 As shown, when the hinge 4 is located on the lower side of the front panel 11, the exhaust box 21 can be located at any position on the left, right, and lower side of the front panel 11, or it can be located at a non-corner position on the upper, left, right, and lower side.

[0046] In one embodiment, such as Figures 1 to 6 As shown, the exhaust box 21 has a first exhaust sidewall 211 and a second exhaust sidewall 212 connected at an angle. The first exhaust sidewall 211 is parallel to the top plate 12, and the second exhaust sidewall 212 is parallel to the first side plate 13. Exhaust holes 210 are provided on both the first exhaust sidewall 211 and the second exhaust sidewall 212. Correspondingly, the clearance notch 31 penetrates the top surface of the box door 3 in the vertical direction and penetrates the left side surface of the box door 3 in the horizontal direction. By making the shape of the exhaust box 21 located at the corner similar to that of the cooking cabinet 1, the exhaust box 21 can be prevented from affecting the overall shape of the cooking cabinet 1 and the installation interference of the exhaust box 21 on the cooking cabinet 1 (i.e. the whole cooking equipment) can be reduced. In addition, exhaust holes 210 are provided on the first exhaust sidewall 211 at the top and the second exhaust sidewall 212 on the side of the exhaust box 21, so that steam can be discharged in the vertical and horizontal directions, avoiding steam from being discharged from the front (the thickness direction of the door 3), thereby preventing steam from directly hitting the operator and improving the safety and comfort of operation.

[0047] In other embodiments, the first exhaust sidewall 211 can be flush with the top plate 12, and the second exhaust sidewall 212 can be flush with the first side plate 13. This flush arrangement ensures that the exhaust box 21 does not protrude from the door 3, and that when the door 3 is closed, the exhaust box 21 and the door 3 appear as a single unit, making it easier for the operator to clean the door 3 without scratching the exhaust box 21, thus reducing cleaning difficulty. Furthermore, it is not limited to providing exhaust holes 210 on both the first exhaust sidewall 211 and the second exhaust sidewall 212; exhaust holes 210 can also be provided on only one of the exhaust sidewalls.

[0048] In one embodiment, the side of the door 3 near the front panel 11 is recessed to form an avoidance notch 31, and the bottom of the avoidance notch 31 along the thickness direction of the door 3 is spaced apart from the side of the door 3 away from the front panel 11. This design makes it impossible to directly observe the exhaust box 21 from the front of the cooking equipment after the door 3 is closed, thus hiding the exhaust box 21 with the door 3 and preventing steam from directly impacting the operator, thereby improving operational safety.

[0049] In other embodiments, the clearance notch 31 on the door 3 can be directly provided through the door 3 along its thickness direction. Furthermore, the exhaust box 21 also has an exhaust front panel 214 located away from the front panel 11. When the door 3 is closed, the exhaust front panel 214 is flush with the side of the door 3 away from the front panel 11, or the exhaust front panel 214 is recessed within the clearance notch 31. Moreover, in this embodiment, the exhaust front panel 214 may not have an exhaust hole 210 to prevent steam from directly impacting the operator.

[0050] In one embodiment, the first exhaust sidewall 211 and the second exhaust sidewall 212 are connected by a first connecting sidewall 213, which is an arc-shaped sidewall. The top plate 12 and the first side plate 13, and the top plate 12 and the second side plate 15 are respectively connected by second connecting sidewalls 17, which are also arc-shaped sidewalls. The first connecting sidewall 213 and the second connecting sidewall 17 corresponding to the position of the first connecting sidewall 213 are parallel. In this embodiment, the first connecting sidewall 213 and the second connecting sidewall 17 connecting the top plate 12 and the first side plate 13 are parallel. By setting the arc-shaped second connecting sidewall 17, the corner of the cooking cabinet 1 has a rounded transition structure, avoiding sharp corners that could scratch the operator. The first connecting sidewall 213 of the exhaust box 21 at the corresponding corner is also set as an arc-shaped sidewall, which can also prevent the exhaust box 21 from forming sharp corners that could scratch the operator, and can fit the overall appearance of the cooking cabinet 1.

[0051] In order to increase the steam discharge speed, exhaust holes 210 are provided not only on the first exhaust sidewall 211 and the second exhaust sidewall 212, but also on the first connecting sidewall 213, thereby increasing the total cross-sectional area of ​​the exhaust holes 210.

[0052] In this embodiment, there are multiple exhaust holes 210 on the exhaust box 21, which are evenly distributed on the first exhaust sidewall 211, the second exhaust sidewall 212, and the first connecting sidewall 213 of the exhaust box 21. The exhaust holes 210 can be rectangular holes, oblong holes, circular holes, triangular holes, polygonal holes, or irregular hole structures.

[0053] Furthermore, all the exhaust holes 210 are arranged in a matrix on the first exhaust sidewall 211, the second exhaust sidewall 212, and the first connecting sidewall 213 of the exhaust box 21. In other embodiments, all the exhaust holes 210 may be arranged in a concentric ring on the first exhaust sidewall 211, the second exhaust sidewall 212, and the first connecting sidewall 213 of the exhaust box 21.

[0054] In other embodiments, when the exhaust box 21 is not located at a corner, the exhaust box 21 may also not have an arc-shaped sidewall.

[0055] In addition, the second connecting sidewall 17 between the first connecting sidewall 213 and the connecting top plate 12 and the first side plate 13 is not limited to being arranged in parallel, but can also be arranged in a flush structure.

[0056] like Figure 7 and 8 As shown (some of the reference numerals in the accompanying drawings are retained), Figure 1 To be continued Figure 6 The exhaust box 21 is connected to the front panel 11 via a snap-fit ​​assembly. By using a snap-fit ​​assembly to connect the exhaust box 21 and the front panel 11, the difficulty of disassembling and assembling the exhaust box 21 can be reduced, making it easier to replace and clean the exhaust box 21.

[0057] In this embodiment, the front panel 11 has a through hole 110 extending along its thickness direction, and the cooking chamber 1 has a connection hole (not shown in the figure). The exhaust pipe 22 includes a first pipe 221, a second pipe 222 and a third pipe 223 connected in sequence. The first pipe 221 is connected to the exhaust box 21. The first pipe 221 passes through the through hole 110 and is detachably connected to the front panel 11 by a snap-fit ​​assembly. The third pipe 223 is connected to the cooking chamber 1 and communicates with the cooking chamber 10 through the connection hole.

[0058] Specifically, the first pipe 221 is fixedly connected to the exhaust box 21, which can be done by welding, integral injection molding, etc. In this embodiment, the exhaust box 21 is a plastic box, and the first pipe 221 is integrally injection molded with the exhaust box 21 by injection molding.

[0059] The third tube 223 is fixedly connected to the cooking cabinet 1 by means of welding, integral molding, etc. In this embodiment, the cooking cabinet 1 is a metal cabinet and the third tube 223 is a metal tube. The third tube 223 is fixedly connected to the cooking cabinet 1 by welding.

[0060] In one embodiment, the latching assembly includes a latch 5 and a clamping part 6. The through hole 110 includes a first hole and a second hole that both penetrate the front panel 11. The first hole and the second hole are connected in a direction parallel to the front panel 11. The first tube 221 is inserted into the first hole. The latch 5 protrudes from the first tube 221. The clamping part 6 protrudes from the side of the front panel 11 away from the door 3 and is adjacent to the first hole. The second hole allows the latch 5 to pass through. After passing through the second hole, the latch 5 rotates at a specified angle and clamps against the clamping part 6, thereby fixing the exhaust box 21 to the front panel 11. By setting the first hole and the second hole connected to the first hole, the first tube 221 and the latch 5 can pass smoothly through the through hole 110. After rotating at a certain angle, the latch 5 clamps against the clamping part 6, achieving a latching effect. This structure is simple, stable, and easy to assemble and disassemble. Furthermore, the latching assembly connecting the exhaust box 21 and the front panel 11 is not exposed, reducing cleaning dead corners.

[0061] The front panel 11 includes a panel body 111. An edge 112 extends from the side of the panel body 111 away from the door 3. A fixing hole 113 is formed on the flange 112. A threaded connection hole (not shown in the figure) is formed on the first tube 221 corresponding to the fixing hole 113. A connecting screw (not shown in the figure) passes through the fixing hole 113 and is screwed into the connection hole. By setting the connecting screw, the exhaust box 21, after being secured by the snap-fit ​​assembly, can be further locked onto the front panel 11, preventing the exhaust box 21 from being pulled out arbitrarily, and also preventing the exhaust box 21 from loosening after a period of use.

[0062] Preferably, a fixing post 114 protrudes from the side of the flange 112 facing the first tube 221, and a fixing hole 113 extends through and passes through the fixing post 114, with the end of the fixing post 114 abutting against the outer wall of the first tube 221. By providing the fixing post 114, the connection and fixing length of the connecting screw can be extended without increasing the overall thickness of the front plate 11, thereby improving the fixing stability. More preferably, the fixing post 114 can be fixed to the flange 112 by welding, bonding, snap-fitting, or other methods.

[0063] In other embodiments, the exhaust box 21 can be directly fixed to the front panel 11 by connecting screws, or the exhaust box 21 can be glued to the front panel 11 by using an adhesive structure.

[0064] In one embodiment, the second tube 222 is a flexible tube, such as a silicone tube or a corrugated tube. The two ends of the second tube 222 are detachably connected to the first tube 221 and the third tube 223, respectively. By making the second tube 222 a flexible tube, the length and shape of the flexible tube can be varied to adapt to different installation positions, reducing installation difficulty. Furthermore, during maintenance, it is sometimes necessary to pull the exhaust box 21 out a certain distance; the second tube 222 has a certain degree of flexibility to adapt to changes in the position of the exhaust box 21.

[0065] In this embodiment, the third pipe 223 is connected to the top of the cooking chamber 1, meaning the connection hole is located on the top plate 12 of the cooking chamber 1. Since the steam generated during use rises, the connection hole on the top plate 12 of the cooking chamber 1 allows for quick extraction of steam from the cooking chamber 10. Of course, the connection hole can also be located in other positions on the cooking chamber 1, such as on the first side plate 13, the second side plate 15, or the back plate 16. Additionally, an exhaust pump can be provided, and the exhaust pipe 22 can be connected to the exhaust pump to forcefully expel steam from the cooking chamber 10.

[0066] In one embodiment, reference is made to the appendix. Figure 1 To be continued Figure 8The side of the exhaust box 21 without the exhaust vent 210 is also covered with a buffer layer, which is a layer of cushioning foam or silicone. The buffer layer is pressed against the side wall of the clearance notch 31. By setting the buffer layer, the deformation or damage of the exhaust box 21 due to collision with the door 3 or external structure can be reduced.

[0067] Obviously, the above embodiments of this utility model are merely examples for clearly illustrating the present utility model, and are not intended to limit the implementation of the present utility model. Those skilled in the art can make various obvious changes, readjustments, and substitutions without departing from the protection scope of this utility model. It is neither necessary nor possible to exhaustively describe all embodiments here. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of the claims of this utility model.
